High school football: Hurricane rising — Tigers' transition to 3A powerhouse is almost complete

Thank goodness DHS, PV & SC went 4A!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Post what Time the Games are on Friday or do I need to look in the Tribune.

Best of luck to Hurricane this week. You were a classy team that was better then we were. I hope you guys beat up on JD this week and we can meet up with you next year again at Rice. Only suggestion, coaches, leave your visors at home. Your coming to northern Utah, and it's November... not time to wear a visor!

I really never thought i would hear hurricane was a powerhouse in 3A... I am so excited for them to finally be able to play in a championship game!!!

Good Luck Hurricane!!! I cant wait to see you play on friday!!!



RE: poster at 6:01 am

and the game times are...
3A at 10:30
4A at 2:30
5A at 6:30

Hurricane is about the same as its always been, the difference is their bot member getting the St George schools bumped up to 4A,it helps getting your main competition eliminated.

Been where you were last year with community support. So happy to see your program succeed. You have worked hard, stuck with what was right and continued to lead and look where the program is heading. Great to see the Des News cover such a topic and you handle it so well. Go get another championship for the community and lets allow the naysayers have an opportunity to wake up and join in supporting what is being created in Hurricane.
go get'm coach.....

Visors? what the? if it ain't broken don't fix it eh

Re powerhouse? 7:43

yes it does help to have dixie, snow canyon and pine view 4A during region but... Hurricane beat snow canyon and would have beat dixie... so that is just proof that it wouldnt have changed anything this season... but how would that help during the playoffs anyway?? the playoffs is when everybody realized that hurricane is the real deal...

Hurricane has a very talented team this year and will continue to dominate for years to come... so get used to it...


how about you stop being a hater and just support the boys....

Why would anyone want to be the Skyline of 3A? Yeah they have state titles but nobody respects them. I guess I just don't see why coach H would want his team to be synonymous with the talent stealers like TV and Skyline. Sigh...

You guys are amazing. It has been OK for Hurricane to be playing these schools for years that are twice their size, but when the UHSAA finally finds a solution to put them in the class they belong its Hurricane's fault. And above everything else you act like Hurricane can't beat the big three, wrong. The St. George schools now get a taste of what Hurricane has had to deal with for years. Coach Homer and his staff are amazing coaches and men, and they are on the verge of great things. The Tiger pipeline is full of great kids coming through. Good luck Friday, these boys and coaches deserve all good things. Go take it! GO TIGERS!!!!!

Hurricane has an incredible group of guys that just strap it on and go to work. But, I think the most overlooked player has been Justin Edwards. J Ed is the anchor and the glue to the awesome Tiger, wing T, powerful offense. He is a positive leader that never ever walks to the ball. He will be holding the gold trophy high above his head on Friday. This group of guys will prove true that in the scheme of things, TIGERS STARVE LAST!! GO TIGERS!!

Their one lose was to Pine View In overtime. A 3A power? How can anyone say anthing different. Did Pine View lose in the Quarterfinals of the 4A State tournament, by 5, to a program considered to be one of the best in the state?

Excellent job, and good luck on Friday. I am sure that thier are more with you than against you!!

What a class act Coach Homer is!!!! You people in Hurrican should be patting coach Homer on the back rather than asking for his head in a down year. the only way you build a program is increase your support in a down year. Grow up!!!! You just dont realize how tough it is to compete with a school with a couple hundred more kids than you and Hurrican did just fine this year against DHS, PV & SC. One thing you havent thought of is with his success Coach Homer is probably being courted by some of the other bigger schools and when he is gone you will wish he was back. Good luck Hurricane. Bring home a championship.

Hurricane did not play Dixie this year... just an FYI. Know the facts before you report.

Hurricane beats all those weak teams from the south so now they think that they are a 3-A power house????? I don't think they stand a chance against juan diego. GO JUAN DIEGO!!!!!!

Funny how when you just say the truth its hating.Don't be so sensitive,the Hurricane team is a good team and good luck at state.

The combined record for all the teams that Juan Diego has played is 57-90.

The combined record for all the teams that Hurricane has played is 77-70.

Is there any argument to which team played the tougher schedule?

JD only played 3 teams that ended the year with winning records, 2 of those came in the playoffs(PC, Logan, and Delta). No doubt Hurricane played a tougher schedule. It's not even an argument.

yeah right?!

to the person who put that hurricane beat all those weak teams from the south i got some news for them, pine view, snow canyon, dixie those teams are some of the best for 4a and they were really good in the 3a. besides juan diego couldent stand up too them but hurricane has a lot of times so i have a feeling that juan diego is going to get killed...
