Hosting CIVICA Academy on Thursday night, Sloan Canyon’s football team faced one last test before the 4A Southern Region playoffs begin next week.

The Pirates aced it, routing the independent Wolves 48-6.

“I’m proud of the way they finished the regular season,” Sloan Canyon coach Nate Oishi said. “They played good, disciplined football. They took it one play at a time, and they stuck together as brothers and trusted one another on each play.”

The Pirates (7-2) excelled in all three facets. They generated 315 yards of offense, held a powerful CIVICA Academy (6-3) attack to one touchdown, and scored on a punt return.

Senior quarterback Cade Hoshino had the Sloan Canyon offense moving efficiently, finishing 12-for-19 with 233 yards and four touchdowns.…
