  There was a ton of room to run to his left and just one Skyridge defender. The first down looked guaranteed. And the hope for more seemed reasonable.But there was no acceleration, and Corner Canyon quarterback Zach Wilson’s juke fooled no one. He was taken down well short of the first down.“Running to my left, I can’t cut back at all,” he said. “My top speed has been bad. I’m out of shape. I haven’t run in like four weeks.
