High school football: Beaver continues late-season surge to upset top seed Duchesne for 1A state title

Beaver’s offense was in a brutal hole, down four points near midfield and facing a third down and 21 after taking a bad sack on first down. With less than two minutes remaining Saturday in the 1A state championship game at Southern Utah University, top-ranked Duchesne was two defensive plays away from hoisting its first state championship since in 2021. As Beaver head coach Jon Marshall mulled what play he could possible call on third and long, on his headset he heard assistant coach Ron Echols chime in from the press box, “The waggle screen’s there.” Beaver hadn’t run the play in over two months, and probably because of that Duchesne seemed to caught off by the call. Davis Carter rolled left and then turned around threw it back across the field to Leonardo De Leon, who got two huge blocks to spring him 40 yards down to the 11-yard line. Three plays later, Carter darted into the end zone for the 5-yard go-ahead touchdown with 59 seconds remaining.
