High school football: Mountain Ridge defense shows out in rout of Davis
Any doubts about this year’s Mountain Ridge team should be squashed after Thursday’s performance. The Sentinels already impressed in Weeks 1 and 2 with back-to-back wins over Region 3’s Skyridge and Lehi — including a 42-0 victory over the Pioneeers. Sentinels head coach Nick Robins set up the tough nonregion schedule as a test, and his team passed with flying colors.
Mountain Ridge's defense dominated Davis in a 42-7 rout on Thursday, Aug. 27, 2026. The Sentinels held the Darts to only a single touchdown, despite Davis having a number of high-profile offensive players. Mountain Ridge head coach Nick Robins praised his team's defensive unit for their relentless, smart, and nasty ballhawking approach.
Robins credits defensive coordinator Jackson Peck for preparing his players even during halftime. Quarterback Jaxon Hunt recorded three touchdown passes for Mountain Ridge, while running back Bradley Foster added two rushing touchdowns.
