Zak Grigg threw for four touchdowns and rushed for two more as American Falls cruised to a 47-0 victory over Soda Springs on Friday night at home.
The senior quarterback spread the wealth through the air, connecting with four different receivers for scores. Gavin Adamson, Kahlen Hernandez, Tripp Wagstaff and Armondo Ledesma all hauled in touchdown passes from Grigg, who was the team’s running back last season. Adamson also had a rushing touchdown of his own.
American Falls’ (1-0) defense was equally impressive, forcing three turnovers to stifle any Soda Springs offensive momentum. Ty Smith and Sawyer Bolgen each recorded interceptions, while Zak Resendiz recovered a fumble.
The Cardinals (0-1) extended their losing streak to 18 games dating back to the 2022 season.
