High school football: Week 7 scores and schedule

SALT LAKE CITY — Check back for the latest scores from all the Week 7 high school football games across the state.

KSL.com Sports' Game of the Week: Maple Mountain at Orem

Orem takes down undefeated Maple Mountain 30-28 in stunning 2nd-half shift

Football fans occasionally argue that a safety — when the driving team is tackled in its own end zone — should be worth more than the 2 points it currently carries.

Why did we choose this game?

Maple Mountain comes into the weekend with an undefeated record and a chance to make a statement in Region 7 with a win on the road over an Orem team with only one loss this season — but not to a region opponent.

The Golden Eagles are ranked No. 9 in the KSL.com Top 20+1 rankings, and are No. 5 in the UHSAA's latest RPI rankings in 5A. The Tigers are ranked No. 13 in the Top 20+1 rankings and are No. 10 in RPI. It's two similar teams with an equal shot at a region title.

Orem has put up a ton of points this season, averaging 40.5 points per game, but hasn't been as good as Maple Mountain at limiting opposing teams by allowing 22.5 points. Maple Mountain has limited teams to only 12.8 points per game, while scoring 33.3 points per game.

Will the high-scoring Orem show up against Maple Mountain's defense, or will it be another Golden Eagles victory to maintain its undefeated streak?
