Extra Point 2: Spanish Fork has 22 wins since 2011, the most in SF history over a two-year span.

Extra Point 3: Spanish Fork has scored in a school-record 90 consecutive games since 2005, the 24th longest scoring streak in Utah history and the sixth longest current streak.

Extra Point 4: SF makes its first championship game, but North Sanpete has gone longer without a title game appearance, 97 seasons. The Hawks and Park City (105 seasons) are the only two schools to play more years than the Dons without winning a state football title.

Extra Point 5: Spanish Fork receiver Colton Olsen is tied for 10th in all-time season receptions with 84.

Extra Point 6: Dixie's ten season victories are the most for the Flyers since 1982 (10-1). They haven't snared more since going 12-0 in 1974.

2A and 1A Title Game Notes:

Manti became the 53rd team – and the first since 2008 – to play spoiler and ruin another school's perfect season.

Templar Carlo Garcia not only set the state record for longest field goal in a championship game, 54-yards, but he also tied the record for most field goals in a title contest by connecting on three. The previous distance record was 48 yards by Skyline's Richard Critchfield in 1995. South Summit's Jed Frazier in 1988 and East's Gavin Van Minde in 2011also kicked three field goals in a championship game.

Manti's overtime victory was the first extra-session championship game since a pair of them in 2010 when Highland trimmed Mountain Crest 37-36 in double-OT and Duchesne slipped by Rich 21-14 in one overtime.

Despite losing, San Juan can take slight consolation in capturing statewide scoring defense honors (5.9 ppg) for the third straight season. In the race for scoring margin, San Juan leads (27.9 ppg), but Jordan (26.8), Timpview (26.1) or Syracuse (25.0) could overtake the Broncos with sizeable victories in their respective championship games.
