High school football: Top 25

When will people start realizing that this Alta team is not inexperienced? Just food for thought, this Alta team hasn't lost 1 game since starting high school! That is a preety big feat, and just goes to show you that this team knows how to win, and they have all played together for many, many, games! Once they got the jitters out on Friday, they pummeled Bingham into oblivian! They outscored the Miners 24-2 following the 1st quarter. Binghams only bright spots came on two special teams returns in the 1st quarter. Let's think about it; as dominant as Alta's defense was that night, and if Alta's special teams makes tackles, I don't see Bingham scoring 1 touchdown in that game. The final score might have looked something like 27-3! Start giving Alta it's due credit, and realize that this team is MORE loaded than the past two Alta teams!

"This Alta team hasn't lost 1 game since starting high school!"

Didnt Alta Lose To bingham just last year? and if you are just talking about the sophmores... it has been 2 games... good job i guess?!? But a lot of teams havent lost yet that isnt all that big of a deal...

"and if Alta's special teams makes tackles, I don't see Bingham scoring 1 touchdown in that game."

I think the main word in this statement is "IF"... they obviously DID NOT make those tackles... If we are going to make "IF" statements we might as well say if bingham would have made 2 more touchdowns they would have won... DUH!

But dont worry I bet some other alta fans probably saw the same game that you did in your own little worlds... i am pretty sure that anybody who was at that game knows that alta had 2 or 3 big plays the 4th quarter but it was obvious that bingham had the talent

D-News is just putting that loss their because they will lose this week at Cottonwood!! 40-17

MORE loaded? You didn't just say that in public did you.Your absoulute obsession with getting out from last years teams shadow is clouding you judgement. This years team looks right now to be very good, but only time will tell. Don't crown them state champs just yet and don't put the "loaded" tag on these kids. They are a good group as a team but pound for pound last years team had more big time studs. Sorry to burst your bubble.

why isn't manti in the top 25???

Someone please explain this to me. Two weeks in a row kanab hasnt gotten the respect we deserve. Whats the deal?

If Bingham would have jumped on that ball in the end zone...., and if the refs wouldnt have been scard to make the right call at the end of the half when there was still 1 second on the clock when the alta's qb got tackled.... and if the line would have blocked a little longer then the wide open recievers on those posts...If IF If If!!!!!!!!!!!!

Excellent post. I've been saying the same things all weekend. The comment about Alta dominating Bingham after the first quarter is just plain bull. How about Bingham dominated Alta the first three quarters and then just ran out of gas with 8 minutes left in the 4th quarter. It's amazing what colored glasses can do for the eye sight.

Bingham dominated Alta the first three quarters? What game were you watching... Bingham couldn't do anything against Alta's D ALL night. Bingham scored one touchdown on offense and that came about after they returned a punt to the 2 yard line. I would put that TD against special teams. And then their only other score was a long field goal. Props to the kicker. Anyways... think again before you say Bingham dominated Alta the first three quarters.

Enough about Bingham and Alta, Bingham is done with their glory days, they will be good/marginal for the next few years and then its back to typical Region 3 team.

to kanab and manti fan; Are you for real? Your varsitys could not beat any 4a or 5a JV let alone a varsity team. Get a clue!

What's a Manti ??

can we all have peace? and stop arguing about a booty team like bingham and a great team like alta?
fo real tho haa

These polls are just as crappy as the college polls. How is it that Bigham who is 0-2 still be in the top 25 and a few teams that are undefeated still have not cracked the polls. Go figure!!

Still not sure why Timpview has the second-longest winning streak in UHSAA history and they're only #2... Somebody beat Alta so the D-News writers will finally be convinced who is really No. 1!!! Oh wait...none of you can except for Timpview (THE REAL NO. 1!!!)

is that South Summit is not #1! We beat Altamont and Duchesne! That's as good as Alta and Bingham any day of the week!

I have not followed Timpviews games the past 3 years. Have they played many of the top 5A teams in the state? They need to beat some of these teams to earn the respect. That is just the way it works. I know that they beat PG and SF this year the problem is it does not look like either of these teams is very strong this year.

played against both Alta & Timpview this year Timpview could take Alta no problem.

Anyone think kearns has a chance to beat alta this week?

i am sure the DesNews is going to look at your comment and move Timpview up right away...

i mean they manhandle weak 4A teams, squeak by weak 5A teams, and claim they are the best, so we need to get them up to that #1 spot right away...

they have that same attitude at BYU (play weak non-conference teams to keep the wins coming), which is why there is no surprise Timpview is BYU's farm team...

Earn some respect by actually beating some of the top 5A teams before you claim you are #1...
