Corner Canyon defense suffocates Highland in state quarterfinal

Draper • Highland quarterback Cole Peterson had nowhere to run and nowhere to hide. It seemed everywhere he turned was a navy blue jersey ready to swallow him up.

Corner Canyon’s defense did just that and more in a thoroughly dominant 37-0 victory Friday in the Class 5A state quarterfinals.

“They’ve been carrying us all year,” Corner Canyon coach Eric Kjar said about the defense. “They’re definitely the strength of the team. They understand our scheme and execute really well. Like today — a totally different look, new assignments from what we normally run — and they executed the heck out of it.
