Mountain Ridge routed Lone Peak 42-3 and Herriman edged Davis 36-22 to reach the 6A football semifinals.
Updated on Nov. 7, 2026 in Football
Mountain Ridge, the No. 2 seed, defeated No. 7 Lone Peak 42-3 to advance to the 6A football semifinals for the second straight season. No. 4 Herriman also advanced after a 36-22 win over No. 5 Davis, its first semifinal appearance since 2017.
Why it matters
Both wins secure spots in the Utah 6A semifinal round, setting up matchups against top seed Skyridge and three-time defending state champion Corner Canyon. The results shape the remaining field in the state's largest classification.
Jaxon Hunt threw four touchdown passes in Mountain Ridge's 42-3 win, three of them to Tytan DeJong. Herriman's 36-22 win over Davis ended a streak without a semifinal berth dating to 2017, though the extraction does not detail the game's statistical breakdown.

Season Trajectory
Herriman's return to the 6A semifinals for the first time since 2017 ends a long gap in its playoff history. Mountain Ridge's second straight semifinal trip extends its recent run of deep postseason appearances in the state.
The semifinal pairings mean Mountain Ridge and Herriman both face Skyridge, the top seed, which could reshape the bracket. Lone Peak's exit leaves Corner Canyon's path clear for a fourth straight semifinal under its current run.
The takeaway
Two of the four quarterfinal winners now share a path toward the same top seed, making the semifinal round a test of which team can handle Skyridge.
What happens next
Mountain Ridge will play top-seeded Skyridge and Herriman will also face Skyridge in the semifinals; the extraction does not give dates for those games.
