The Hawks led 7-0 after one quarter and 13-0 at halftime. They scored 22 points in the third to stretch the lead to 35-0 before Carbon answered with two fourth-quarter touchdowns. The win raised the Hawk record to 5-2 and left Carbon at 1-6.

Mann opened the scoring on a 19-yard run with 36 seconds left in the first quarter, according to the Deseret News scoring summary. Gunner Pollock kicked the extra point. Luke Lee threw a 44-yard touchdown pass to Milo Hendry early in the second quarter, but the two-point pass failed, leaving the Hawks ahead 13-0 at halftime.

North Sanpete widened its lead in the third quarter. Mann broke a 59-yard touchdown run, and Pollock added the kick. Lee later ran 2 yards for another score. After that, Lee hit Seth Burningham for a 24-yard touchdown, and Hendry passed to Burningham for a two-point conversion. Those plays accounted for the Hawks’ 22-point quarter.

Mann added a 48-yard touchdown run early in the fourth, giving the Hawks their final points. Deseret News lists Pollock with four successful extra-point kicks in the game. Carbon scored on a 1-yard Kayden Dunn run and a touchdown pass from Dunn to Tayger Timothy in the fourth, but the Dinos never cut the final margin below 28 points.

Mann carried 19 times for 223 yards and three touchdowns, figures that agree on MaxPreps and Deseret News. His scoring runs accounted for three of North Sanpete’s six touchdowns. Lee completed 6 of 13 passes for 103 yards and two touchdowns, also matching across the two outlets. Hendry caught two passes for 60 yards and a score.

The Hawks’ scoring came on the ground and through the air. Mann supplied the long runs, while Lee connected with Hendry and Burningham for touchdowns. Carbon did not score until 6:50 remained in the fourth quarter, after North Sanpete had built its 42-point lead.

The 3A South win gave North Sanpete a home victory after its 48-24 loss at Cedar on Sept. 18. The Hawks travel to Manti on Thursday, Oct. 1, for another region game. Manti enters at 1-6 after losing 61-38 at San Juan on Friday.
