SALT LAKE CITY — Exciting High School Football Action in Week 7

The high school football scene in Salt Lake City is buzzing as we gear up for Week 7. This week features a clash between two formidable teams: the Maple Mountain Golden Eagles and the Orem Tigers. Maple Mountain comes in with an undefeated record, standing as a strong contender in Region 7. They will face an Orem team that has only lost once this season, but notably not to a region opponent.

The Golden Eagles are currently ranked No. 9 in the Top 20+1 rankings and hold the impressive title of No. 5 in the UHSAA’s latest Ratings Percentage Index (RPI) for 5A football. Meanwhile, the Orem Tigers sit slightly lower at No. 13 in the Top 20+1 list and claim the No. 10 position in the RPI rankings.

Both teams are primed for a strong showing, with talented athletes on each side. Orem has been prolific on offense, averaging an impressive 40.5 points per game. However, they face a tough challenge from a Maple Mountain defense that has excelled in limiting opponents, allowing only 12.8 points per game. On the offensive side, the Golden Eagles score an average of 33.3 points per game.

As the two teams prepare to meet under the lights, the question remains: Will Orem’s high-powered offense shine against Maple Mountain’s tough defense, or will the Golden Eagles continue their undefeated streak with another solid victory?

In addition to this key matchup, fans should keep an eye on other games happening around the state this week. If you have game footage, consider sharing it on YouTube and tagging it for fans to see. Also, don’t forget to nominate players for the week’s highlights.
