Posted: 3:46 PM- Highland at Pine View, Friday 5 p.m.
The Rams have quite the task ahead of them when they travel down to St. George to take on Pine View in the second round of the Class 4A state tournament.
The Panthers' biggest threat on offense is quarterback Justin Ence. He's a mobile quarterback who has thrown for eight touchdowns and has 24 rushing touchdowns.
There's also Villiami Hafoka, who can also be a threat on the run.
But Highland has a few weapons of its own. The Rams are more balanced offensively. Fourteen different players have scored this season and the Rams have another capable quarterback in Nick Orchard, who has thrown nine touchdowns passes and has nine rushing touchdowns.
"They have a great quarterback and they run the spread formation. It's stuff we've seen before this season," Highland coach Brody Benson said. "It will come down to the guys up front, if the offensive and defensive line can control the momentum of the game."
