After four weeks of the 2023 high school football season, the top of the KSL.com Top 20+1 rankings are looking awfully familiar. But a handful of recent risers are providing fresh blood for the competition.
Last year’s rushing touchdowns and rushing yards per game leader picked up right where he left off in Week 1. Tevita Valeti carried the ball 26 times for 180 yards and five touchdowns as Springville rolled past visiting Dixie 34-7 to open the season with the win. Last season Valeti led the entire state with 22 rushing touchdowns and 167.9 rushing yards per game.
Tevita Valeti ran for over 300 yards and two touchdowns on 48 carries, and Springville held Provo to 168 yards of offense to hold on for an 18-14 win Thursday night and take control of Region 9 play.
