Alexander tosses four TD passes, sends Pioneers to Northeast’s top seed

Bradley Alexander threw for 283 yards and four touchdowns on just 9 of 11 passing Thursday to lead Canyon Springs’ football team to a 56-17 home win over Silverado.

The Pioneers (6-3, 3-1 Northeast) are the league’s No. 1 seed for the Sunrise Region playoffs.

Alexander also took a lateral from reciever Tre’von Dean on a trick play and ran 53 yards for a touchdown with three seconds left in the first half to give the Pioneers a 35-14 lead.

Dean took over at quarterback in the third quarter and went 4 of 5 for 87 yards, including a 71-yard touchdown to Kasey Allison in the fourth quarter. Allison led all receivers with three catches for 108 yards and two touchdowns.

Stevensen led Canyon Springs on the ground with 10 carries for 63 yards and a touchdown.

Silverado (3-6, 1-3) was unable to get anything going on offense. Canyon Springs held them to only 2.7 yards per carry, and the Skyhawks only mustered 110 rushing yards. Dre Fletcher ran 18 times for 67 yards, and quarterback Mitchell Ballard scored on a 1-yard quarterback sneak in the first half.
