The Sandy flag football team entered the postseason with a perfect record, having never tasted defeat during the regular schedule. Their momentum carried into the first playoff round, where they faced Mountain View and emerged victorious with a 41-0 shutout.
Standout performances came from Kaylee Snavley, who accounted for two touchdowns, and Kyleigh Joachim, whose contributions kept the offense moving. Coach Tony Turin praised both players, noting that Kaylee Snavley’s precision and Kyleigh Joachim’s versatility were pivotal to the win.
Beyond the headline acts, the defense proved equally formidable. Junior corner Jennalee Nail intercepted a pass in the third quarter, halting a potential rally, while the front line limited big plays and forced numerous three‑and‑out series.
The coaching staff also recognized the broader effort, with Jamela Turin and Alix Flowers contributing key blocks and special‑teams work that kept the momentum rolling. Autumn Lucky added depth at receiver, helping sustain drives.
