Skyridge, Lehi, and Lone Peak have all earned berths in the 6A state football playoffs, according to an October 19 report. This marks the first time all three Lehi-area programs have reached the 6A bracket simultaneously. The teams are scheduled to begin postseason play on Oct. 30 following a bye week under the new UHSAA format.
Top-seeded Skyridge holds the No. 1 RPI ranking in 6A after edging Mountain Ridge based on strength of schedule, according to the Lehi Free Press. The Falcons, who ran through Region 3 unbeaten, will host their first-round game at 6 p.m. on Oct. 30. Skyridge's opponent is identified as No. 16 Riverton by the Lehi Free Press, while the Deseret News bracket listed No. 16 Herriman. The Falcons also hold the No. 2 MaxPreps ranking in 6A and statewide. Head coach Justin Hemm's squad previously defeated Lone Peak 27-24 on Oct. 2 and topped Corner Canyon 37-27 in late September to claim the region title.
The playoff draw includes a rivalry rematch between No. 10 Lehi and No. 7 Lone Peak. The game is scheduled for 6 p.m. on Oct. 30 in Highland. Lone Peak enters the postseason ranked No. 10 in the final 6A RPI and closed its regular season with a 32-14 victory over Bingham on Oct. 16. The Knights previously defeated the Pioneers 14-7 during their Region 3 meeting on Oct. 8.
If Lehi advances past the first round, the Pioneers would face either No. 2 Mountain Ridge or No. 15 Cedar Valley in the quarterfinals on Nov. 6. A Skyridge victory in the first round would lead to a home quarterfinal on Nov. 6 against the winner of the matchup between No. 8 American Fork and No. 9 Copper Hills. All kickoff times for Oct. 30 default to 6 p.m. unless otherwise agreed upon by the competing schools.
The postseason schedule continues into November, with quarterfinal games for Skyridge and Lehi scheduled for Nov. 6.
