Emery held the 2A third ranked Manti Templers to one point in the first half Thursday afternoon. Despite strong defense, the Templers proved too much for Emery as they came out on top, 4-0.
Manti came out and scored again early in the second half and never looked back. Emery was unable to connect with the net and fell short, 4-0.
Emery High head coach Troy Winters explained that was very happy with the way his team played. He was also excited with the progress the Spartans have made since last year.
Emery will host South Sevier on Saturday. Kickoff is scheduled for 2 p.m.
