What might have been Rassmussen's best play of the night didn't count. Fortunately for Pleasant Grove, the junior quarterback had plenty more against Granger.
WEST VALLEY CITY — Pleasant Grove quarterback Carson Rassmussen escaped the pocket and looked up field. He motioned his receiver to release to an open spot on the field, and then he let it all fly.That celebration proved to be a bit premature, though. There was a flag on the field, which voided what might have been Rassmussen's best play of the night. Fortunately for the Vikings, he had plenty more in him.
Rassmussen also added 32 yards and two touchdowns on the ground. His 5-yard touchdown run at the beginning of the second half put Pleasant Grove up by a commanding four touchdowns. Walkenhorst said he was impressed with how much studying his junior signal caller did leading up to Friday. By game time, he had honed in on what Granger liked to do against certain formations, and that allowed for the star showing.You might not have known it from the score, but Pleasant Grove was disappointed with how they played in its 40-14 win over Weber last week.
"We were a lot more focused this week. We got special focus, special intensity, and then we played relentlessly with great effort and great technique, which is what we wanted to do," Walkenhorst said.
