SALT LAKE CITY — The top three teams in Utah all tested themselves against out-of-state competition last week.
Corner Canyon, Skyridge and Lone Peak — which have held the top three positions in the KSL.com Top-20+1 poll since Week 1 — all played non-Utah teams in Week 4.
The Chargers welcomed in the top team from Arizona, the Knights traveled to Vegas for a showdown with the No. 2 team in the nation (which ended in an odd fashion), and the Falcons traveled to Idaho for a quick business trip.
Did that impact the poll?
To the rankings ...
1. Corner Canyon (4-0)
The Chargers welcomed in Liberty (Peoria, Ariz.) — a team ranked by USA Today as the No. 22 team in the nation. The result? A 45-14 drubbing by Corner Canyon.
Quarterback Helaman Casuga accounted for five touchdowns as the Chargers continued to look like the best in the state — and one of the best in all of America.
2. Skyridge (4-0)
Quarterback Kaneal Sweetwyne had six first-half touchdowns (four passing and two rushing) and the Falcons made easy work of Highland, Idaho.
3. Lone Peak (3-1)
The Knights' journey to Vegas to face No. 2 nationally ranked Bishop Gorman ended early.
Early in the third quarter, with Gorman leading 35-14, a tussle broke out on Lone Peak's sideline. More than three Lone Peak players entered the field, which, according to Nevada Interscholastic Activities Association rules, mandated a forfeit.
Officials declared Gorman the winner, officially recorded as a 2-0 forfeit.
4. Ridgeline (4-0)
Quarterback Nate Dahl threw for two touchdowns and rushed in a couple more to help Ridgeline post its fourth straight blowout win with a 34-10 victory over Mountain Crest. The Riverhawks have outscored each of their opponents by at least 20 points.
5. American Fork (4-0)
The Caveman jumped out to a 24-0 halftime lead but had to withstand a furious comeback attempt by Farmington. In the end, American Fork survived, holding on for a 24-22 win to remain undefeated.
6. West (3-1)
Illinois commit QB Kamden Lopati threw for five touchdowns as West opened up region play with a 66-7 win over Hunter.
7. Herriman (4-0)
Running back Filisi Filipe's had two long runs — a 76-yard scoring jaunt in the second quarter and a 59-yard touchdown run late in the fourth quarter — to help Herriman to a 35-24 victory over Riverton.
8. Davis (3-1)
Quarterback Tradon Bessinger threw four touchdowns, and Bode Sparrow scored on both offense and defense as Davis blasted Alta 59-14.
9. Fremont (3-1)
Two-way star Salesi Moa showcased his elite versatility, returning an interception for a touchdown and catching a 76-yard score, to help Fremont dominate Bonneville 43-0.
10. Lehi (2-1)
The Pioneers used their bye week to find their offense. After being held to just 7 points in a loss to Mountain Crest in Week 2, Lehi scored 35 points in the first half during a 42-14 rout of Desert Hills.

Plus-1: Cyprus
Is something brewing in Magna?
After winning just three games total over the last two seasons — 1-9 in 2024 and 2-8 in 2023 — Cyprus has already matched that mark just four weeks into this year.
And they haven't just been winning — they've been rolling.
In Week 3, the Pirates thumped Tooele 42-14, then followed it up with a dominant 55-0 shutout of Kearns last Friday.
