With as many talented quarterbacks as there were in the 4A football ranks last year, it was not an embarrassment for Brighton Reutzel to be named to the Deseret News’ all-state second team.This season, he’s making a bid to move higher.Stansbury’s senior signal caller passed for five touchdowns and ran for two more Friday night as the Stallions beat previously undefeated Woods Cross, 45-28.Simply put, the Stallions’ offense couldn’t be stopped. Reutzel completed 19 of 27 passes for 267 yards as Stansbury rallied from a 14-0 deficit and improved its record to 2-1 going up against powerful opponents like Skyline, Herriman and now the Wildcats.Woods Cross didn’t have an answer.“We knew we could score,” said Stansbury coach Jason Walker. “We have a talented group of fast receivers, and it always helps to have an experienced quarterback who can get the ball to them.“We definitely beefed up our schedule this year so we could be better prepared for our region,” he added. “All of our games have been physical. Last year, we didn’t have a physical game until Green Canyon (whom the Stallions play next week). This time, we want to be better prepared.”
