Moapa Valley football scores winning touchdown in final seconds

Moapa Valley football clinched victory with a last‑second touchdown, edging Beaver, Utah 27‑21 in the season opener on Friday, Aug. 14, 2026 | 11:22 p.m. The winning drive covered 95 yards, culminating in a 4‑yard scoring pass from Kamden Drosos to Jett Levy with just 19 seconds left on the clock. That play gave Moapa Valley its only lead of the contest. Earlier, Briggs Hickman sparked a tie‑breaker with an 84‑yard kickoff return for a touchdown, pulling the score to 21‑all early in the fourth quarter. The seesaw battle continued until Moapa Valley took over at its own 5‑yard line for the final march. Lewis praised the effort, saying, “really a assurance boost for immoderate of our younger kids,” manager Brent Lewis said. Hickman, who rushed for over 1,000 yards a year ago, was limited to about 80 yards as Beaver concentrated its defense on containing him. That opened lanes for Drosos, who also accounted for two rushing touchdowns on the night.
