High school football: Layton downs Syracuse in defensive struggle
82 comments | Read story
STaring at possible 2nd straight undefeated region 1 championship. Not sure how many yards or what his completion rate was, but Layton's QB Cam Applegate was on fire! I think tonight, it was determined Thomas Bryson is now a go to guy as a receiver, where earlier this year, it was stated that there was no go to guy. As a QB, you always want and need a go to guy. Always.
Way to go Thomas Bryson. This was your game. Up to 13 sacks on the year. More colleges will come calling with nights like this.
Syracuse, hats off to you. Well battled war in the trenches. Your linebackers are studs. No wonder you've only given up a TD on the average. Good game boys.
This was Thomas Bryson's game of the year! 4 sacks, I think puts him near top in the state in sacks with 13, and at least 6 receptions. Cam Applegate was awesome also. Not sure of the completion ratio or how many yards, but he was dead on target.
You guys fought a tough battle, as the Syracuse D was definately stingy. The Cuse linebackers are studs!
*I think that if Syracuse played better football they would have won.
*I think that if Layton had Lavaun Jackson back 100% they would have won more easily
*I think that if #17 for Layton didn't play that the whole Syracuse team would not be seeing tweety birds still today, including pile driving you QB four times and hurrying passes three others!!! your tackles will be running laps all week for that showing.
I'm A Syracuse fan from here on out, you guys are a great team to keep it close. I'm just not a fan of the 'what if' posts Layton dumped almost twice as many yards on you but still we were all in the stands when time expired. GREAT GAME both teams now lets beat some SLC schools in STATE!!!
Layton has the Utah Jazz syndrome, once they lead they pull back on the reins way too early. That is why they lost to cottonwood.
keep working hard boys, you got this!
***DON'T TAKE THIS REGION WIN AWAY FROM A TEAM THAT EARNED EVERY BIT OF IT, THE HARD WAY!!! WINNING CLOSE GAMES, LOOSING A KEY RUNNINGBACK KEY OTHER PLAYERS TO INJURY, AND A DEAR FRIEND AND TEAMMATE. KADE COOPER.***
This Region is tough and there is a True Champion up here.
LANCER PRIDE FOREVER!!!!!

To "sad thing". Plain and simple, your post is a sad comment. You better start studying champion and good teams at all levels and look at who games are won/lost against. Super Bowl champs play close games. Today, #1 Oklahoma got beat. USC got beat a few weeks ago. Remember the Fiesta Bowl when Boise St beat Oklahoma? Anything can happen.
Great teams pull out the close games. Good teams lose them. Bottom line, Layton is a 4 pt loss (vs. Cottonwood) from an undefeated season. Another bottom line, a 'W' is a W.
dude.....you're sounding pretty immature with these comments. Why don't you comment on some FOOTBALL!!!
I know Layton football is about winning. Sure, we haven't seen as consistent as a tradition as some other schools. But we proved last year and again proving it this year, we are a force to be reckoned with. Somebody mentioned 'if' we can get by Jordan & Skyline. Well, I hope so. I want to say Layton should get by them.
By the way, for the record. Layton beat Skyline last year 49-0 and beat Jordan this year 35-14. They'll take these games into their review room and see where they can improve on both of these good teams. Just because Layton beat them, they better take them seriously. Jordan's offense is starting to click.
Short week boys. See you at Viewmont.
Layton's Kade Cooper died earlier this year doing what he loved best, playing football with his teammates. This year is dedicated to Kade.
Long live the tradition of Layton Lancer football.
Layton represents better than anyone else on these posts and there is only one way to keep us quiet., GOOD LUCK ALL BLUES!!
Can't wait to see the Titans on Wednesday night.
I will be cheering for you guys to lose before you reach the semi's because of how arrogant ya'll are.. I keep hearing you guys talk about how the "REAL" championship was played in the semi's last yr.. I guess they should give out a state trophy out for moral victories! So here's what you guys are crying for.. 2nd place 2007 runner ups in the SEMI'S goes to... The Bingham Miners! Great Job Miners, I've never seen a team pat themselves on backs so much on LOSING in the the SEMI'S!!!! So if ya'll don't make it to the semi's this year, I can imagine we'll be hearing you guys saying... The "REAL" championship was played in the quarterfinals! Keep over-looking peps Bingham!
for sure this year there is more strength overall in Region 1. I expect 5 strong teams to go into the playoffs and at least 2, maybe 3 into the 2nd round.
Regardless of patting ourselves on the back, whatever people want to call it, Layton is very proud of our football team. For years (I believe 10 in a row) Northridge claimed the city title, but we've now won 2 straight as we own Layton now. We've always respected other teams, Northridge, playoff teams the last 2 years. When Layton went to the playoffs 2 years ago for the 1st time in a loooooong time, it was with a bunch of juniors. Then the seniors took the team to the big dance. This year, many didn't think Layton would be where they are. We are overachievers & proud of it.
get over it...
and the BYU Matt Putnam is from Box Elder, he went on a mission and is now playing...he is also about 8 inches taller and 100 lbs bigger than the Layton Matt Putnam...
