Corner Canyon Chargers opened the 2026 campaign in spectacular fashion, routing Davis Darts 51‑14 in a 6A state football showdown that cemented the team’s No. 1 spot in Utah’s rankings.
Senior quarterback Jaxon Pehrson was the catalyst, throwing for 206 yards and accounting for four touchdowns, the longest of which was an 82‑yard sprint that left the Darts’ defense scrambling.
A Third‑Quarter Onslaught
The Chargers erupted in the third quarter, pouring on 30 points that included a safety and a kickoff return touchdown, turning a 21‑6 lead into an insurmountable margin.
Coach’s Praise
Head coach Casey Sutera lauded the team’s execution and defense, describing the Chargers as "lights out" for most of the contest and highlighting the collective effort that produced the dominant performance.
Davis quarterback Brodie Scheinberg completed 25 of 40 passes for 182 yards but struggled to find the end zone, underscoring the Chargers’ defensive pressure.
Davis got an early spark when Jaxon Itaaehau scored a touchdown, though his limited snap count due to a hamstring injury was evident.
The momentum swing after the 21‑6 lead was sealed by a kickoff return touchdown and a safety, leaving little doubt about the Chargers’ superiority.
