Morgan (12-0) booked their spot in the 3A championship game with a nervy 42-28 victory over Manti (8-4) in the semifinals at Zions Bank Stadium. The Trojans took control with a dominant second quarter, putting up 28 points, including a rushing touchdown from Drew Korth and a passing touchdown from Boston Zack. Despite a valiant effort by Manti, who scored 21 points in the second quarter, the Templars couldn't keep pace. Carter Mason connected with Ty Pringle and Tala Taulapapa for touchdowns, but Morgan's defense held firm in the final quarter. Lincoln Gilson sealed the win with a 2-yard touchdown run early in the fourth quarter. Morgan will face either Grantsville or Richfield in the championship game.
