Davis is 2-0 with a 13-0 win over Bear River and a 12-4 win over American Fork. Against Bear River, Ashton Wood led the way with four goals, Brek Jensen scored three, Nick Johnson added two, and single goals came from Ben Roylance, Luke Donigan, Rocky Edelma and Dawson Draper.
Davis then defeated American Fork 12-4. Johnson scored four, Jensen 3, Clark and Donigan 2 and Roylance one.
Viewmont got off to a fast start with four games, finishing 2-2 on the week. The Vikes beat Layton 11-6 as Samuel Terroros had five goals, Mason Gerrard 3, and single goals from Luke Cluff, Nate Delgado and Parley Shupe. The Vikings also beat West Jordan 9-3.
