2008 Football Playoffs - Quarterfinals - Matchup

Story of the game - Michael Stephenson kicked a 36-yard field goal
with 1:27 to go and the Panthers' defense limited the Rams to a
single score and claimed a tough 4-A playoff win on their home field.

Highland's best moment - Trailing 7-0 at halftime, QB Nick Orchard
led Highland on a 90-yard, 20-play drive that took up most of the third
quarter. Muli Kinikini scored the tying touchdown.

Pine View's best moment - The Panthers' defense barely stopped
Highland on a fake punt in the fourth quarter. They moved the ball
downfield, which set up Stephenson's FG. To add to the excitement,
the ball barely cleared the crossbar.

What was learned from the game - The Rams season is gone, but
not forgotten. Highland improved throughout the season, and made it
further in the playoff than last year. The defense kept them in every
game.

Next - Highland is done. Pine View advances to play Cottonwood in a
4-A semifinal at Rice-Eccles Stadium.
