If you follow football, Friday's 6A quarterfinal came down to defense. Skyridge held off Region 3 foe American Fork 28-21 with three late turnovers: interceptions by Andrew Price and Latu Moeai, and a fumble recovery by Eli Mortensen.

“Defense was great all night.”

Skyridge coach Justin Hemm

Quarterback Jagger Fountaine accounted for three touchdowns, including a 31-yard pass to Dax Rehrer with 3:31 left. Skyridge now plays Herriman, which beat Davis 36-22.

The society's fall show, the Banquet of Orchids, put fragrant blooms on display at Red Butte Garden's Orangerie, with plants for sale and repotting tips.
