Roundup

Manti (9-3) advanced to the 3A state championship by defeating Morgan (10-2) with a 42-28 victory in the semifinals at Southern Utah University. Manti's Carter Mason was instrumental, throwing four touchdown passes, including a pivotal 62-yard strike to Ty Pringle early in the fourth quarter that sealed the win. The Templars showed offensive depth, with Tala Taulapapa scoring twice on the ground and once through the air. Despite Morgan's strong start, with Cade Randall running in a touchdown and passing for another, they couldn’t sustain the momentum against Manti’s diverse attack. Morgan's defense, holding opponents to an average of 14.4 points per game before this matchup, was unable to contain Manti's 39.8-points-per-game offense. Manti will undefeated Cedar in the 3A Championship game next Saturday.
