The Sandy flag football squad capped an unbeaten campaign with a commanding 41‑0 victory over Mountain View, a performance that has propelled them into the Elite Eight and set the stage for a championship showdown.
Senior running back Kaylee Snavley was the offensive catalyst, breaking through with a 30‑yard rush before halftime and adding a fourth‑quarter reception that underscored her dual‑threat versatility.
Coach Tony Turin praised Snavley’s resilience, noting how her ability to find seams kept the defense honest and opened opportunities for teammates.
The Pioneers’ early onslaught saw freshman Jamela Turin catch a touchdown pass on the opening drive, while Alix Flowers contributed three consecutive scoring receptions, highlighted by a 22‑yard hook‑and‑ladder play before intermission.
Defensively, junior corner Jennalee Nail intercepted a pass in the third quarter, epitomizing a unit that limited big plays and maintained disciplined tackling throughout.

The final round of the tournament is slated for May 16 at Liberty High School, where the quarterfinals will kick off at 9 a.m., the semifinals at noon, and the championship game at 4 p.m., promising a climax to a season that has captured local attention.
