LEHI — Needing a spark to ignite the team and get some points on the board, Lehi head coach Andy Hadfield turned to his team's most explosive playmaker, Legend Glasker.
Down 6-0 in the second quarter after allowing Lone Peak to kick another field goal, Glasker proceeded to take the kickoff 94 yards for a touchdown, flipping the game on its head as the Pioneers went on to score 34 straight points and pick up an important win to remain in the hunt for the region title.
The kickoff return touchdown was not the only score for Glasker on the night. The BYU commit also scored on a 20-yard end-around rush to help Lehi take a commanding lead in the third quarter.
For his game-changing performance, Glasker has been named this week's KSL.com Sports high school football player of the week, which is presented with support by Cafe Rio.
It was a creative play-call from Hadfield to put the ball in his star's hands, even though he didn't catch the kickoff. Treyson Fabrizio caught the kickoff but Glasker came sprinting from the other side of the field as Fabrizio ran towards him and handed it off to Glasker. Glasker cut up the Lehi sideline before finding a hole as he broke back across the field, evading defenders as he scored.
Glasker recorded 75 yards on offense as he hauled in three receptions for 55 yards to go along with his 20-yard rushing touchdown.
Despite his amazing performance, Glasker gave credit to his team's defense for the way they shut down the Knights' offense and kept the game close while offense and special teams started off slow.
"Big shoutout to the defense," Glasker said. "I mean, (Lone Peak) didn't even score a touchdown. That's all on the defense right there."
The Pioneers now turn their attention to Wednesday's showdown against Corner Canyon as Lehi hosts the Chargers with a chance to claim the region title with a win and Skyridge loss. Glasker and his team will use their preparation for a dominant win over Lone Peak as a blueprint for this week's matchup.
"Same way we prepared for Lone Peak but even better," Glasker said. "We're gonna come hard to practice, lift hard, condition hard. We'll work on the small things, the details. Minus all the mistakes, and we're gonna win the game."
