Orem Blasts Springville 42-7 for Utah 5A Championship as Aisa Galea'i Stars in Three Phases

A three-phase, 242-yard showcase from Utah commit Aisa Galea'i set the tone for a dominant finish to a turbulent season.

Overview

  • Orem’s Aisa Galea'i scored on a 60-yard run, a 78-yard interception return, and a 96-yard kickoff return to overwhelm Springville.
  • Orem’s defense stifled the Red Devils with 118 first-half yards allowed, three sacks and 10 tackles for loss, highlighted by Juni Moala’s two sacks.
  • The victory secured the Tigers’ 10th state title and their first since 2020.
  • The lopsided result flipped an earlier 17-14 meeting in region play that accounted for one of Springville’s only two losses.
  • At Rice-Eccles Stadium, Alabama commit Tayden Ka'awa threw a touchdown to Mack Ellison, Orem recovered a second-half onside kick, and rushing scores by Beckham Curtis and Max Stonebraker capped the win.
