High school football: Corner Canyon grabs 7 interceptions, gets past Mountain Ridge in 6A semifinals

Mountain Ridge has been the best team in the state all season long. Its electrifying offense has thrown for over 4,000 yards while scoring an average of 44 points per game. Corner Canyon brought that to a screeching halt in Thursday’s semifinals at Rice-Eccles Stadium, picking the Sentinels off seven times en route to a 34-28 win. It was the most interceptions by any team in the state since 2008. “I’m speechless,” said first-year Corner Canyon coach Casey Sutera. “Super proud of our kids, our coaching staff. I mean, holy cow, shout out the defensive coaching staff. Seven interceptions, just unreal.” The Chargers grabbed momentum early and held on the entire way as defensive back Josh Harris picked off Mountain Ridge quarterback Jaxon Hunt on the first play of the game from scrimmage. After Corner Canyon scored a touchdown, Laken Abilla then picked Hunt off again and returned it to the 15-yard line. Within two minutes, the Chargers had two interceptions and two touchdowns.
