High school football: May leads 3A all-stars to win

1A-2A should have won no question they just didn't wanna make 3A look bad after all they should be better anyways to bad they aren't they just merely got lucky at the end of the game! 1A-2A are the true winners of the game! But 3A have fun with Juan And Manti! They will show you what it's like to be dominated from previous 2A teams! Braves perty much dominated the last 2 years back-2-back baby!!!!!

way too go 1a/2a you guys are awsome! great game! and son you were great! im very proud!! gentleman if you take on life like you do football you will do fine. goodluck all!

we will see how dominate those teams are when they move up. its a whole different level from 2a to 3a, most of the 3a all stars werent even at this all star game. nobody from hurricane or park city. save your taking for after the season

Thanks 3A for the great game and if you boys were trying to insult us by calling us hicks and farmboys we take that as a compliment. Us hicks showed you how we do it down on the farm. It was great to play in and was the funnest game i've been a part of.

I'm interested to see how much domination North Summit will have this coming year. From what I hear they have nothing coming up. I would like to hear from a good source though how North Summit will be.

welcome to football then

So who won the 4A vs 5A game? The tiny blurb made it sound like 5A did but I don't know. Does anyone know the score?

the new 2a teams will prove alot this coming year (Kanab, North Sevier, Parawon)

5A won the game, it was 7 to 3.. Did anyone hear how that Isi kid did? all i could say saturday night was "welcome to 5A"

Why was NS's kicker not there sounds like he could of won the game again.

Really? Welcome to 5A? Only points that 5A could score was on a pick 6. Those were two evenly matched teams, that played sloppily. Either team could have won that game...

Get ready for South Sevier to adorn their trophy case with their first modern state championship trophy this year.

well folks looks like it's settled. 5A is better then 4A. I think the best part is that it was a hawk that scored for 5A, on defense what's more. Sorry TV and CW looks like you guys just don't cut it.

Article was right 4a/5a game a 'dud'. Although, I can't see how anyone can put any stock into these pickup games. No continuity. Limited to the schemes of the Coaches and their limited understanding of the abilities of each player. IMO there wasn't any team any better than the other they played. Congrats to those that braved the storms to play and watch. Congrats to the All-Stars.

....how shocking

Shouldn't 5-A dominate the 4-A if they were all that better. Their schools are bigger and they have more of them. At least with the 1-A/2-A if you combined the number of schools and figured in the size difference for 3-A, the talent pool would be comparable. It seems to me that if the 5-A can't dominate 4-A they are underachieving a bit and 7-3 is hardly dominating...

There are actually more 4A schools than 5A. You may want to check your facts before ignorant posts.

as far as ignorance goes....

5A
Region 1 = 8; R2 = 6; R3 = 6; R4 = 6

This makes 26 5A teams for the season of 2008 Football.

4A
Region 5 = 7; R6 = 8; R7 = 7; R9 = 3
This makes 25 4A teams

Add to that, 5A by definition has far more PLAYERS per school than 4A.

Now who's ignorant? Also FWIW the 2 best players in the state were both in California to start school. SuaFilo at UCLA and Martinez at USC. I think Sofele would have had a hole on every play if those 2 hogs had been playing in this game. What do you think?

5A does have more kids, but neither team had any of their D1 kids anyway. Props to 4A for keeping it close this year.

Sit back and watch Alta BLOW OUT Wimpview and watch Bingham put a major league beatdown on CW this year.

Last year, TV beat PG by 4 in a game that PG outplayed them. CW beat Layton (41-37 I think) and Layton's best player was out. Layton and PG did not even make it to the Semis in 5A. I watched the $A final and then the 5A final. Bingham and Alta were at a whole different level. I admit #60 for TV and Martinez were excellent. I hope they pan out in CA... I am guessing they will both do well. The best RB in the state last year was the Soph for Bingham.

5A schools average about 1,800 per school
4A schools average about 1,500 per school

*some outliers
Riverton and Alta have about 2,400
Snow Canyon and Dixie are around 1,100

throw those out and it is pretty close. Obviously 5A has more kids. Also note the 2 biggest recruiting schools in the state (from what I hear...LOL) are CW and TV. They are also the only 2 teams that could hang with the Top 5A teams. Take the Top 10 in the state objectively and it will be 8 5A and 2 4A almost every year.
