LEHI, Utah, Oct. 2 — The 11th game in this series between the Lone Peak [Highland, UT] Knights and the Skyridge [Lehi, UT] Falcons might be the best one yet.
The two teams entered the game tied all-time at five wins apiece in the series, and after four quarters Thursday night in AllSportsPeople High School Football Game of the Week, they were still even at 24-all.
And it would take two overtimes to finally settle the score in this one, after the two rivals both added a touchdown to the scoreboard in the first overtime. Tied at 31, Skyridge held Lone Peak to a field goal in the second extra session before finally ending the game with a 16-yard walkoff touchdown run by Lincoln Tahi to give the hosts a 37-34 victory in an instant classic.
Skyridge actually trailed 10-0 at the half and never led until the first overtime when they briefly took a 31-24 lead before Lone Peak quickly evened it up. But the Falcons proved to be resilient on a night when both teams had opportunities to win the game.
Lone Peak falls to 5-3 with the loss heading into their regular-season finale back home against the Lehi [UT] Pioneers next Thursday. Skyridge will take a week off before visiting the American Fork [UT] Cavemen on October 15 in a game that could decide the Utah UHSAA Class 6A Region 3 championship.
