Stout Borah defense upsets balance of power in 5A, breaks playoff race wide open

Borah quarterback Jake Standlee scored on a 1-yard run with 3:37 remaining before halftime, and kicker Eden Makaafi’s extra point proved to be the difference in a 7-6 win over Rocky Mountain on Friday night at Dona Larsen Park.

Rocky Mountain responded with senior running back Carter Kuehl’s 7-yard TD run about 25 seconds later, but the two-point conversion failed.

Borah’s defense held the 5A SIC’s highest scoring team without a touchdown in the second half as defensive backs Cory Lewis and Jacob Batubenga each grabbed interceptions.

Standlee went 23 of 34 passing for 188 yards without an interception and the Lions’ only score, while Ilaisa Makaafi ate up 133 yards on the ground on 36 carries.

Quarterback Will McMullin rushed for 65 yards and passed for 158 to lead Rocky’s offensive charge.

Weiser 35, Parma 7

The Weiser defense stifled the Panthers offensive attack, forcing three turnovers and surrendering only 213 total yards.

Melba 19, Cole Valley Christian 16

Scott Martinez paced Melba with 81 yards on 14 carries, while Garrett Kranz had 50 yards on 11 carries and a fourth-quarter score for Cole Valley.

Wilder 16, Rimrock 6

Ezequiel Vargas stole the show in this 1A Division I showdown with two rushing touchdowns of more than 15 yards to give the Wildcats a lead they never relinquished.

Pablo Martinez had a fourth-quarter pick-six, but it wasn’t enough as Wilder kept the Rimrock offensive attack under wraps, surrendering just 64 total yards.

New Plymouth 34, Marsing 0

Kobe Roberts had four touchdowns on 11 pass attempts in an uber-efficient night that saw only two of his throws hit the ground.
