For the fourth straight game this preseason, Morgan challenged itself against a higher-classification team on Thursday night, and in the process enjoyed arguably its best performance to date.
Facing 5A's Bountiful, which was coming off back-to-back wins against Davis County 6A teams, Morgan took control in the second quarter with a dominant defensive performance as it cruised to the 37-14 victory over the visiting Redhawks.
"We were excited to play. Bountiful's a quality program, a really good program. We knew it was going to be a battle, so we just tried to prepare ourselves mentally for a tough fight," said Morgan coach Jared Barlow.
Morgan has now won straight games against Sky View, Park City and Bountiful since a difficult season-opening loss to Ridgeline.
Owen Gilson tossed a pair of TD passes in the win for Morgan, both to Owen Belliston, while George Thurston, Rhett Larsen and Miles Syndenham all added rushing TDs for the Trojans.
