Overview

  • The Panthers seized control with a 21-0 halftime lead at Under Armour Stadium and closed out the title behind a dominant defense.
  • Quarterback Jae’Oyn Williams threw multiple touchdown passes and running back Jaylen Burke added a score as St. Frances finished 9-1.
  • Utah 6A champion Corner Canyon, led by Texas A&M signee Helaman Casuga, struggled to sustain drives and added two late touchdowns after a special-teams spark.
  • The game was carried nationally on ESPN2 with Joe Tessitore and Dan Orlovsky on the call.
  • Overtime billed the matchup as a national-title showcase and announced the event will return in 2026, a notable move in a landscape usually settled by ranking selectors.
