High school football: Rich cruises to fourth straight 1A 8-player state championship

Rich’s dynasty in 8-player football doesn’t show any signs of slowing down. In a rematch of last year’s title game, top-seed Rich rolled past No. 2 seed Milford 69-35 at Southern Utah University on Saturday evening to claim its fourth straight 1A 8-player state championship. “It’s really surreal. It’s an awesome experience. Words can’t describe it,” said Rich senior Wilkes Weston, who had a monster performance Saturday with 194 rushing yards and three touchdowns. Rich beat Milford 65-19 in Week 2 this season, breaking the game open in the second half after leading by just seven at intermission. Three months later, Rich didn’t wait around in blowing the game open. Its offense scored every time it touched the ball but once the entire game, building a 35-14 halftime lead and coasting from there. “We believed we had an edge in this game, and I was grateful that the kids came and tried to take it rather than just be entitled to winning,” said Rich coach Tyson Larsen.
