Congrats to Hurricane! You guys were the better team! Take it to Juan Diego next week, we'll be cheering for you!

Go Tigers. Let's win a title.
JD Fan | 8:30 a.m. Nov. 14, 2008
Yes, Hurricane WAS the better team, as I stated BEFORE the game started! Hurricane ALWAYS has been the BETTER team and DID much less "trash talking" before the game and obviously focus on the game at hand instead of spouting off about winning a State Title and beating JD next week! Of course YOU have too root for Hurricane so IF they beat JD (considering that JD beats PC today) then YOU (Morgan) can say to LOST to the State Champions! Nothing against Hurricane (a GREAT Football Team), but JD already beat the 2nd BEST Team in 3A, Logan! The game last week at JD was the State Championship Game .... it was too BAD Logan lost to Morgan and we had to play in the Quarter Finals. IMO, Logan will be the TOUGHEST / BEST team JD will play this year! Good Game Hurricane ... Hope we can see you next week!

Morgan Fan .... Hope to see you at the State Championship Game next week .... and if you have the TIME come see a GREAT Defense PLAY tonight at Rice Eccles .... Juan Diego!

You showed them how relentless Tigers are and that you'll keep your wits about you...even when you're tired & are being pushed down the field.
You play like this next week, and the title will be yours.
WE ARE SOOOO PROUD OF YOU BOYS!!!

If the Logan JD game was the championship it would be played next Friday at the U, not at your home field. You also might want to start considering the fact that Logan wasn't what you and everyone else in the state thought they were. If Logan would've been all you seem to think they were they would've beat Morgan to win they're region. You might want to start looking for a more accurate measuring stick, than your Logan win, before next week, or better yet before kick off today. I grew up playing against PC and hating them, and I can't believe I'm saying this, but GO PARK CITY!!
WOW | 10:01 a.m. Nov. 14, 2008
There you go. The bigger school wins again!!! Why does David always have to beat Goliath to get anywhere???
tiger guy | 10:11 a.m. Nov. 14, 2008
Looks like morgan was way over rated. They cant throw. They couldnt run on the defense. You only had one player, maybe two (#4, #24) that looked good the rest were average to horrible at best. hurricane was way better to bad logan didnt make it or we would have done the same thing to them too.
To JD Fan | 11:32 a.m. Nov. 14, 2008
You guys are so arrogant. I can't wait for PC to lay the smack down on you tonight.
JD Fan | 12:16 p.m. Nov. 14, 2008
Arrogant? Really? Wouldn't IT be great if PC did lay the smack down on us .... Then YOU might have a shot at a Championship! EVERYONE ALL Year said JD is OVERRATED, well PC and Hurricane will find out first hand .... The hard way! Just as 12 OTHERS have! EVEN when I give Hurricane props on a GOOD win and say things like "I had Hurricane making it to the Finals" .... This is what I get! Gee Thanks! GO PARK CITY! I say it like I see it ..... sometimes people do not like that ...... But I will say it again .... Good game Hurricane .... Hope to see you next week and IF we do the score WILL NOT be as close as the score was in the Logan game (AS they are the #2 Team in 3A IMO) .... JD's "D" will CARRY them to a State Championship! Just remember this POST as TODAY and next FRIDAY get over with ... Then I will ACCEPT your apologies. JD ALL THE WAY!

You might think you are so Great, but might want to be Ready for Today let alone next week if you make it. Hurricane is all the same size like you, so it might be a great game to watch next week if you get past PC. I think I will come watch the Game even though I don't think it is fair to use the Whole State as Boundries for your Athletics Programs. I stay up on who wins the State titles in Each Sport and it seems like JD is their in about every Sport even the Girls. So don't tell me that you don't talk to Players to come their and Play. I would send my Son or Daughter their also for the Academics as well as for Sports, but they have already committed to stay at their own High School. My Son has been talked too about Playing at JD and has really considered it, because you can Graduate from their with 37 College Credits and already be a Sophmore in College. But he is going to stay at his own School and win State Next year.

Never in the history of this world has a weak eagle ever killed a glorious tiger. Even though the eagle stands for our great country, the eagle that represents Juan Diego is silly just like their football team. The only way that they can win state is if they some how massacre the tiger's team, which by the way is impossible. Then they would have to answer to the TIGER ARMY!!!!!!!!!

P.S. JD probably won't even make it past Park City.
to JD Fan | 12:37 p.m. Nov. 14, 2008
take it easy on the caps we get what your saying why don't you worry about your game
TIGER ARMY | 12:41 p.m. Nov. 14, 2008
JD Fan

First off are you spacing out dreaming about a win in the state game or do you just have to think for a really long time before you say your next line..............................or does your period key get stuck(doubt it). Second you are Logan was overrated and when you beat them you just got more overrated. What more can I say? Oh yeah, your going down.
Class | 1:23 p.m. Nov. 14, 2008
The game is played on the field and no matter how many words and puffed chests are put out here that fact remains the only truth. I am just proud of a bunch of boys that have become men and do their talking on the field and then move on with class. Coach Homer deserves a lot more credit than he has gotten. He hasnt just taught boys how to play a game but has taught young men how to be successful both on and off the field. I urge the Hurricane fans to continue to show class and support the boys and let the game be played on the field and not through words on a blog. GO Tigers! win or lose next week you have shown you are winners in the big game.
Morgan Mom | 2:43 p.m. Nov. 14, 2008
I think everyone who was at the game last night would agree that it was a great game. Both teams played well. Congrats to Hurricane. They played hard and got a great win. The score didn't accurately reflect the way the game was played. Some bad breaks close to the end zone turned the tide against Morgan but they did move the ball effectively and had sustained drives. We are proud of our boys and the great season they treated us to. We may grow them small in Morgan but we grow them tough and with heart. Thanks Coach C for all you've done. To JD Fan, what has Morgan ever done to you??? Our boys said that Hurricane was a class act and I believe they would say the same about us. Go Tigers!!! WE hope you take it all!
Tiger fan | 4:04 p.m. Nov. 14, 2008
Great job Hurricane! Way to pull out the win in spite of the hype. Focus is everything. Go get em next week. To Morgan: great job and maybe we'll see you again next year. Great game to all.
Morgan was great! | 6:46 p.m. Nov. 14, 2008
No shame for Morgan--they played a great game.

JD fans: there isn't any need to be arrogant. No need to beat down Morgan. They were a classy team.

As a Hurricane fan, I am proud of the team. The school spirit is up! The team really is grateful for each of the victories this season as they know how fleeting success can be. Go Tigers!
Dixie Grad | 8:08 p.m. Nov. 14, 2008
Interesting thought here, JD fans... Hurricane plays in a 4A league (out of necessity) - and their only loss was a double overtime loss to Pine View @ PV (top 5 ranked 4A team all year). Nothing against JD, but was their competition (outside of Logan) anything to get excited about? I doubt it. JD can certainly put up the numbers, but where has their level of competition been all year? Next week should be a great matchup - but my money is on the Tigers at this point...
Dixie Alum | 8:26 p.m. Nov. 14, 2008
To all JD fans... Region 8 was not what you'd call impressive. Region 9 (Hurricane's Region) is made up of 3 4A teams and 4 3A teams - a bit tougher level of competition... Furthermore, Hurricane's only loss was a double overtime loss @ Pine View (a top 5 4A team all year). No disrespect to JD, but other than Logan, where is your "schedule strength?" Whom have you beaten en route to your "perfect season?" Head-to-head, what was the score of both teams vs. Park City? Something to think about...
Tiger Lover | 8:40 p.m. Nov. 14, 2008
First off, good job morgan, way to play a tough game. Second way to go Tigers we love you and everything that you guys have done for us. Take it to them next week. GO TIGERS!!!
PV Insider | 10:43 p.m. Nov. 14, 2008
Congratulations Hurricane on a great win and a great season. Good luck in the state championship game next week. I'm sure you will represent region 9 very well, you have a great team.
PV fan | 11:32 p.m. Nov. 14, 2008
Great game Hurricane, I am pulling for you next week.

Also, I wouldn't pay any attention to the JD fan...if he really is a JD fan. I mean, what 3A fan not from Logan would be giving a shout out to Logan for being the second best team in 3A.

That will be JD next week!
Tiger Fan | 12:35 a.m. Nov. 15, 2008
Great game Tigers you earned this victory. To all you JD fan lets not forget who crushed park city earlier in the year if any of you think this is going to be a walk trew for a state championship think again Hurricane is HUNGRY for a title.
tiger guy | 11:39 a.m. Nov. 15, 2008
the real score was 14-3 JD got lucky and scored twice in the final four minutes of the game when PC was trying to hurry up and score. Get real JD and be prepared to meet a real team for the first time this season. Go H-Town. Law Dawg for life.
Morgan | 11:58 a.m. Nov. 15, 2008
As a player I would just like to say good game hurricane. I think JD better watch out. After playing Logan and hurricane it is no question which team was tougher. That being said I wish it would have gone the other way I think we could've won the game but made some crucial turnovers, or we could be in the title game. But hats off to hurricane, it's your game to lose. We will be cheering for you in the finals.

ya'll need to get a life. games are played out on the field and in weeks of practice nothing you say here matters get a life eh?
PV Mom | 8:16 p.m. Nov. 15, 2008
You are a great team - we're all pulling for you to take state! Good Luck.
attention morganites | 11:00 p.m. Nov. 15, 2008
Do some research huh... If you had you have seen that morgan fans have been all over several articiales blogging about meeting JD in the finals. Attacking JD and over looking the tigers... Hmm maybe that is why they lost. NO ONE from Jd is overlooking the tigers. We will bring our A game and hopefully the tiger bring theirs. Then we will really know who deserve the title.
Juan Diego and Hurricane play for state ... who would have thought... no one who blogs on here has given either team their props but that is what haters do huh!
RE: alum | 1:14 a.m. Nov. 16, 2008
its interesting you say that... on this conversation board. you're telling people to get a life and not post things on these boards.... by posting it on a conversation board..... interesting approach to things. pretty hypocritical. haha
