Provo • East High senior Jaylon Vickers pulled in Ben Ford’s pass and took off. As he strode into the end zone, someone yelled from East’s sideline: “We throw it, too!”
Vickers scored two of East’s six touchdowns in his Leopards debut to lead East to a 42-10 victory at Timpview to open the season.
“Ben threw the ball really well, didn’t he?” Matich said. “He can throw the ball, and we’ve got some guys that can catch it. We saw some things they were doing defensively that we knew some of those vertical routes were going to be open, so we took a shot, and it worked out for us.
