Highland led 24-0 at the half, and Lake City had trouble moving the ball on the ground or through the air. At the half, both teams stayed on the field for the "Archer play," a Lake City tradition that lets senior running back Archer James, a Pocatello native, score.

  • Steele Hoopes: three catches, 73 yards, two touchdowns
  • Bridger Hanks: 46-yard field goal for a 3-0 lead
