VIEWMONT VIKINGS (2-0) at BOUNTIFUL BRAVES (2-0)
Series note: 43rd meeting, Vikings have won 5 of last 7 games
About the Vikings: Off to a 2-0 start, the Vikings continue to prove they're a good team despite the tragic death of star player SethFraughton. ChrisLarsen is a big reason why. The quarterback has completed 19 of 36 passes for 324 yards and seven TDs. His seven TD passes leads the entire state. StantonSmoot has been a real spark as well, averaging 82 rushing yards per game. This is Viewmont's final preseason game before opening Region 1 at Syracuse next week.
About the Braves: In victories over 5A teams Lone Peak and Clearfield, the Braves have yet to surrender a point. A big reason for that is the play of JamieKirby. In addition to leading the team with 97 rushing yards per game, he's also intercepted two passes to help spearhead the shutout streak. As good as its defense is, Bountiful also has an edge in special teams with kicker AmmonSchwab, the state's second-best kicker. MitchJohnson leads the team with two rushing touchdowns.
