Junior Luke Meyer has been outstanding this season for Juan Diego, and he played a key role in leading the Soaring Eagle to a pair of region victories last week. In Tuesday’s 65-43 win over Granger he recorded 20 points and seven rebounds, and then three nights later he tallied eight points and nine rebounds in Juan Diego’s 58-53 come-from-behind victory over Cyprus. For the season, Meyer is averaging 17.4 points and 9.5 rebounds.
Last year’s rushing touchdowns and rushing yards per game leader picked up right where he left off in Week 1. Tevita Valeti carried the ball 26 times for 180 yards and five touchdowns as Springville rolled past visiting Dixie 34-7 to open the season with the win. Last season Valeti led the entire state with 22 rushing touchdowns and 167.9 rushing yards per game.
Tevita Valeti ran for over 300 yards and two touchdowns on 48 carries, and Springville held Provo to 168 yards of offense to hold on for an 18-14 win Thursday night and take control of Region 9 play.
