Herriman defeated East HS 38-14 in Utah action that sets the team up nicely for two tough games this week - United and Kahuku.

It was a very tight game in the first half. East did well to take care of possession and were patient in scoring two tries. Herriman tried to force the issue and made some mistakes, and it was evident they were a bit slow coming back from spring break.

Still, Herriman led 19-14 at halftime. 

"East is very talented, and I think they are syncing up and starting to really play well together now that they have firmed up their lineup and personnel and have some good consistency going," sad Herriman coach Jeff Wilson. "We played a lot better in the second half."

Herriman's defense was better and three tries later the Mustangs had a 38-14 win.

Maea Leakehe scored three tries and Jake Barker added two, while Taysan Hammer and Fisher Jackson were outstanding. Thomas Parkin was excellent for East.
