2025 Week 10
Undefeated Regular Seasons:
- Cedar City (9-0) it off to its best-ever start and seeks its fifth unbeaten regular season and first since 1980. With a win over Carbon, the Reds tie their longest winning streak, set in 1998.
- Ridgeline (9-0) shoots for its third undefeated regular season and second straight. The RiverHawks host Bear River.
- South Sevier (9-0) is off to its best-ever start and aims for its first ever unblemished regular season in 71 years of football. The Rams host San Juan. South Sevier’s nine-game winning streak sets a school record (it won eight straight in 2009). The 2025 Rams have also tied the school record for wins in a season with the 1972 and 2009 teams.

Rivalry Contests (min. 50 games)
78th – Ogden at Ben Lomond – Ogden leads 54-23 since 1953 in this uninterrupted series, the Battle for the Iron Horse.
63rd – North Sanpete at Juab – Juab leads 37-25 since 1957.
61st – Weber at Davis – Davis leads 40-17-3 since 1926.
57th – Pleasant Grove at Payson – series tied at 28 games each since 1909; first meeting since 2006. When these schools began programs in 1909, they met in the first-ever game for both schools. PG won that first contest, 14-0, on Oct. 2, 2009.
Consecutive Winning Seasons
Morgan recorded its 18th straight winning campaign, the current-state high and the sixth longest in state history. (Skyline, the record holder, enjoyed 23 in a row from 1989 through 2011). Beaver has celebrated 16 straight, tied for the ninth longest streak all-time; Stansbury, 15; and Corner Canyon and Skyridge, 10.
Timpview enjoyed 13 consecutive winning seasons from 2012-24, but must beat Spanish Fork and win at least two playoff games to keep the streak alive. Sky View needs to defeat Tooele to claim its 13th straight.
Winning Streaks
Unbeaten Cedar City, Ridgeline and South Sevier lead the state with nine straight wins. They’re followed by Crimson Cliffs and Morgan (8), Davis (7), and then Kanab, Mountain Ridge, Orem and West (6).
Most-Improved Teams
Four teams have improved six games as defined by the NCAA’s methodology of taking the difference in wins and losses year-to-year and dividing by two. Cedar City has gone from 4-7 last year to 9-0 so far this season. Herriman has improved from 3-8 to 8-1, while Skyline and West Field have both moved from 1-10 to 6-3.
Westlake is 5.5 games better (3-9 to 7-2) and enjoys its first winning season since 2010 (8-2) and only the second in the school’s 17-year history. South Sevier has improved by five games going from 5-6 to 9-0.
High Scoring Offenses
Through nine weeks of the 2025 season, the winning team has scored at least 70 points a record 14 times (11-player games only). That’s eight-percent of all such games all-time.
In the previous 132 years of Utah prep football, there have been 160 such games. Some years, there were three or four, but many seasons saw no such scores.
The previous record for any one year was in 2022, when nine winners scored at least 70 points. Over the decade covering 2015-24, the number of 70-point games has ranged from two to nine, with an average of five per season.
This year, Ridgeline and West have both tallied at least 70 points twice.
In addition, 12 teams are averaging over 40 points a game. Those averages typically drop during the playoffs. But looking at recent full seasons, five teams averaged over 40 points per game in 2024, four teams in 2023 and six in 2022.
West leads the ’25 teams averaging a whopping 54.6 points per game and San Juan follows at 50.7.
Whether this season is an anomaly, an indication of offensive prowess, region alignments strong at the top and weak at the bottom or something else remains to be seen.
And whether all this is interesting or not, Felt’s Facts has no idea.
From Week 9
Payson was shut out for the first time since 2020, ending a school-record scoring streak of 53 games.
