Provo will advance to the quarterfinals to face No. 7 Sky View on Friday, November 8.

Sky View will move on to the quarterfinals to face No. 2 Provo on Friday, November 8.

No. 19 Snow Canyon Warriors 20 @ No. 3 Crimson Cliffs Mustangs 35

The Crimson Cliffs Mustangs were the heavy favorites in the second-round matchup against the Snow Canyon Warriors and it showed.

Crimson Cliffs will advance to the quarterfinals to face No. 6 Green Canyon on Friday, November 8.

No. 11 Uintah Utes 20 @ No. 6 Green Canyon Wolves 49

Green Canyon will move on to the quarterfinals to face No. 3 Crimson Cliffs on Friday, November 8.
