SALT LAKE CITY – The Hercules Salt Lake County High School Player of the Week recognizes the best high school football player in Salt Lake County. Presented by Hercules First Federal Credit Union, each week we honor athletes for their outstanding performance on the field. This week’s honoree is Corner Canyon High School wide receiver Jerome Myles.
Salt Lake County Player of the Week – Jerome Myles, WR (Corner Canyon)
Myles recorded five catches for 125 yards and three touchdowns in a 35-34 win over IMG Academy.
Corner Canyon welcomed the vaunted IMG Academy to its first home game in Utah last Thursday. After an even start, the Ascenders took control in the second quarter, finding the end zone three times. This was tied by Myles’ first touchdown reception from quarterback Helaman Casuga. IMG took a 28-14 lead into the break after scoring a point with 11 seconds left in the half.
Myles and the Chargers came alive in the second half as Corner Canyon’s vaunted offense came alive. Casuga ran for a touchdown while connecting twice with Myles to give the Chargers a 35-28 lead with 4:45 left. IMG scored with 1:33 left and settled for a two-point conversion and the win. Corner Canyon’s defense responded and kept IMG out of the end zone. Corner Canyon pulled off a historic upset win over the third-ranked Ascenders. This win surely has to go down as one of the greatest victories in Utah high school football history.
