SALT LAKE CITY – The Mack County Utah High School Player of the Week is awarded each week to the top prep football players in Utah County. Sponsored by Mr. Mack, it recognizes athletes for their performance on the gridiron and outstanding play. Our winner this week was Aisa Galeaii from Timpview High School.
Utah County Player of the Week – Aisa Galeaii, DB/RB (Timpview)
The Thunderbirds welcomed longtime rival Springville High School to Provo for a second round playoff game last Friday. The two teams traded shots in the first half, with Soakai Aston leading the charge for the Thunderbirds in place of Carson Rasmussen.
Aston threw two first-half touchdown passes while running for another to make up for Springville’s three first-half touchdowns. Timpview’s rushing attack swarmed Aston as they raced out to a 42-24 halftime lead.
In the second half, Galeai and the Thunderbird defense put a dent in the Red Devils’ offense. Galea’i would lead the defense as he collected four interceptions on the night. He would also contribute offensively, running for a touchdown to account for the T-Birds’ first points of the second half.
Timpview recorded two more scores late to run away with a 59-24 victory and advance to the 5A quarterfinals. Galea’i finished the game with six total tackles and four interceptions on defense while adding eight carries for 84 yards and a touchdown on offense.
This week we visit the 2A rankings for the Utah County High School Player of the Week! 🙌
