Springville’s Zach Henderson returned the opening kickoff 90 yards for a touchdown and Tua Naufahu was responsible for three scores (two on the ground, one through the air) as the No. 3 Red Devils moved on in the 5A state playoffs, taking care of No. 19 Spanish Fork 49-14 on Friday.

Spanish Fork (4-8) countered Henderson’s kick return with a 7-yard touchdown pass from Nixon Warren to Gage Christensen, but Naufahu scored on a 17-yard pass from Lisiate Valeti for a 14-7 Springville lead. Valeti found paydirt with a 1-yard touchdown run to put the Red Devils up 21-7 late in the first quarter.

Warren’s 75-yard touchdown pass to Caleb Grant trimmed the Springville lead to 21-14 but it was all Red Devils after that with two Naufahu scoring runs and touchdowns from Tuiona Valeti and Max Harris completing the scoring.

Springville (10-1) will host No. 6 Box Elder in Friday’s quarterfinal round. The Bees handled No. 11 West Field 35-13 in the second round.
