High school football: Bingham blasts Riverton, takes charge in Region 3

Let me be the first to say that Riverton has a very good football team, despite the score tonight. We already knew they have a powerful running attack after their game with Copper Hills. I think they proved it again tonight. But, as I thought, Bingham was able to contain that threat enough to win the game. Some timely interceptions really helped the Miners, too!
I think there are going to be three competitive games in region 3 next week. Riverton/Kearns might be the best. Hunter always brings its "A" game against Bingham (never mind that Bingham has blown them out the last four years running). Copper Hills and West Jordan. . .Ok, I think Copper Hills is going to win big. I was just trying to be nice earlier. That passing game seems like it's just too much for the Jags.
CONGRATULATIONS MINERS AND GOOD LUCK IN YOUR FINAL REGULAR SEASON HOME GAME!

Hi! I'm in Finland and want to read about Alta High School. I have a grandson playing football for Alta -- keep us posted! Mrs. Nielsen

Again, the Wing T is great against smaller teams when you don't have a big line. But against much bigger lines, it just doesn't work. Give Riverton credit, they kept playing, But Miller really needs to change his mind set with that offense in Region 3. Good win Bingham.b

Riverton is a good team. Probably a top 10 team. This game could have been much closer.
Bingham is continuing to improve. Play calling is most improved. It's awesome to see them opening up their playbook a little deeper. Passing on 1st down, play action out of the I formation, shorter controlled passing attack. I am impressed with the running attack also. Defensively they are playing well. Riverton's wing option attack was ran well but Bingham played disciplined D and stayed at home with their assignments (for the most part). Good job D.
Keep up the good work Bingham.

But also a pround alumni of the Mighty BHS Miners! Class of 1990! More news about Bingham please. Its always great to hear that they keep kicking butt.

Once a MINER always a MINER!

GREAT GAME BINGHAM! I am so ready to see them play on wednesday It will be a fun game to see! Good luck miners!

To all you who were posting last week that Riverton was going to upset Bingham, this was your wake up call, Bingham is for real, I also read a post last week that said Riverton was going to win because Riverton had good balance on offense, What??? They run and run and run, there is no balance I saw, you are not going to run on Bingham, LT and Peck will eat you alive as we saw. Any pass that was thrown was either tipped or picked, there was basically two plays that Riverton was successful with, draw play and sweep with #22, that was about it. No not #44 up the middle against the J.V.'s and Soph's doesn't count. The Miners are coming, everyone wake up!!

"Wake up", they still don't believe and will predict a Hunter win on Wednesday. Count on it. I'd rather they stay in their little dream world. We'll give 'em a wake up call in the playoffs.
Midnight is coming, Cinderella, and the when it does the Miners will toll the bell on your season.
Fall hunting season is almost over, Bingham. You've already bagged the Jaguars, Cougars and Silverwolves. Complete your collection with the Wolverines and Grizzlies!
TWO HOME PLAYOFF GAMES!

Ok that was not me that left that commented at 3:58 pm but that is cool I gues... I have a lot more to say than just that...

Fist thing Bingham had an amazing game last night!!! I knew we could pull it off... and I am so so so EXCITED for another big win agianst Hunter!!!

RE:Anonymous

I like the way you think... nice way of putting it "Complete your collection with the Wolverines and Grizlies!"
Gotta Love it!!!

Nice job Miners! Keep it going, the trophy's been sitting in the same 5 mile stretch for 2 years now. One way or another we need to make sure that doesn't change. Go Miners, Go Hawks 5 mile club all the way!

Hey at least Riverton can beat the miners in pretty much every other sport. OH yeah like volleyball smashed them on Tuesday and their girls soccer team were region champs. Way to go wolves keep up the good work.

HAHA Hey I heard the Wolves are great at debate too. haha Who beat Riverton in the basketball championship 2 years ago? Yay, go Riverton Chess Club!!!

Riverton this is football talk here.... not anything else. Dont bring up other sports to change the subject just cause your not good enough to beat our football team. Never will be so get over it and stop crying. GO MINERS!!!!!

Your confusion is understandable since you are probably going by how many region banners hang in each gym. For more accurate information check the trophy cases and you're welcome to keep the search within the last nine years if it will make you feel better. Heck, you can even count your summer trophies from camps and tournaments. You might also want to click those heels and repeat " there's no place like home".

If we put up all our region banners, we would have to build a new gymnasium.

There are 19 region titles awarded each year. Bingham averages 13-14 every year. Riverton typically wins 1-2, as do the other schools in the region. Bingham only hangs state banners for obvious reasons.

Riverton football is pretty simple. They are able to beat the teams that have lesser talent, and they lose to the teams with equal or more talent. I will go on record as predicting this much: They will lose to either Hunter or Kearns to finish the season. The "Wing T" offense needs to go. Otherwise plan on the annual 5-6 wins and first round exits that Riverton fans have grown accustomed to.

Rhs parent, how's your tiddlywinks team is doing this year? How about your jacks team?
Your football team got WHIPPED ON FRIDAY!

Didnt Alta and Skyline beat Bingham?

Enough said.

Bingham is number 5 behind PG, Alta, Layton and Skyline for obvious reasons.

What sports? Lets look at the 3 main sports and how Bingham did last year.
