Comments about ‘High school football: Hawks storm back from early hole to stun Miners’

How is an expected outcome "stunning"?

Way to play all the way till the end of the game. It would have been easy to give up trailing 17-3 at the end of the first quarter, but this team showed a lot of heart. From the second quarter on, the Hawks pummled Bingham into oblivian! Alta's defense is stellar the toughestest defense in the state, and this offense is a wrecking crew. Ammen Olsen is a stud with a cannon for an arm and the receivers, well, They're unbelievable. If this team can stay healthy, I don't see anyone beating them this year. Keep up the hard work Hawks. You're a lot of fun to watch, and you provided a great showing for the alumni last night.

Just wanted to say that inspite of the great rivalry- Both teams showed a lot of class all game! Great attmosphere and even greater game! I wish both teams the best this season!

may I be the first to say I told you so that Alta would prevail. To my knowledge Bingham did lose some key players from their senoir class. I didn't even see the one player that use to pretty much dominate for Bingham on offence and defence in your little league. I know my boy never looked forward to defending that kid. sorry for your lose bingham..good job alta....way to come back and play well as a team!!! GO HAWKS

binghams glory days are over(at least for this year). They have had great talent in the past which has taken them to the top, but their coaching and play calling has always lacked. now with a mediocre team, they need to actually play beyond their talent which is a feat impossible for them. They are lacking the basics this year. from an o-line that cant protect their q.b. to corners and d-backs that are quick, but far undersized. its not hard for other teams to figure out binghams weaknesses and pick them apart. bingham does have the talent there, they just need to work at it this year(and make some changes in their d-secondary). binghams coaching staff has shown that changes will be too-little, too late.

I commented last week about a average Hawks team I was not impressed with. However "WOW" Hawks really came into their own yesterday night. The defense looked so much better than last week, they adjusted very well after last weeks SF game. Alta's offense I was worried about and I wasn't sure if they had it in them to preform like last years offense (running and throwing). In the 4th quarter when Hamilton realized hey Ammon Olsen isn't a running QB ,and focused on his down field passing strength the Hawks really opened it up. We only saw glimpses of that early in the game. I was not a fan of Olsen and thought Brown should have started. However Ammon you proved me wrong congrats on a great game. There were a few bad QB decision Ammon made in the game but I know he will have those kinks worked out as the season goes on. Great hands receivers. Alta will defend their title. Again congrats Hawks!!!

are all the Bingham faithful still a sleep or just still shocked....and why no comments in the story from Peck....wouldn't talk...win with pride and lose with respect...

OVER-RATED!

Good game as always. It was more one sided than the score indicated. Missed opportunities in the red zone and special teams kept the miners in the game. Alta was their own worst enemy with the turnover that led to the Bingham field goal and the safety. Great game though. Best and classiest rivalry in state. Curious to see how the miners will come back and handle the deficit. Dave Peck is a great coach though. Hopefully the two will meet for a great rematch in the title game again.

why no comments? great game to watch as good as it gets

hey hawks nice job out there you kept it up even when things didnt go your way. great game bingham like always we hope to see you in the next 9 to 10 weeks bounce back. nice job great game

GO HAWKS!!!!!!!!!!!!

What are you talking about. Who are the senior players that "used to dominate in little league" that aren't playing now? Every player who was key when the boys were young and taking state every year is still playing. Did your boy play B ball? Because all of the A players were there last night playing. Gotta give it to Alta. They could've given up early when they were down by a lot but kept playing hard. Bingham, you had a big lead and didn't put them away. You've got to figure out a way to do that.

How does Bingham feel this morning? Now for two weeks in a row they have had lackluster preformances.

Two great kick returns go for not!

Bingham has the worst pass coverage in America and they have proved that two weeks in a row.

Only one defender has a great game...#42. The rest of the so called studs of the defence were horrible.

The only thing worst than the defense was the offence. The Quarterback spent the whole game running for his life. And when he did have time to throw, he was mostly just....YIKES

How does Lambourne keep his Job. That may have been the worst play calling in the history of football. Get some creativity for Heck sakes.
Studentbody left and right went out with the '72 Packers. Some times you have to pass to set up the run. But I guess being conserative and afraid to be bold keep coaches employeed. BUT IT DOESN'T WIN CHAMPIONSHIPS!!!

Bingham, you have more kids on your roster than any team in the state and you have no lost to two teams many feel you should have beaten. It's goint to be a looonnng season.

Keep living in the little league glory. Alta is the FAR superior team. State championships in little league don't mean much, espically since the whole state isn't involved! Bingham got what was coming to them. Hopefully BYU didn't see the preformance turned in by their guys from Bingham last night. I can hear verbal committments beign reniged on from my front porch in South Jordan.

Over 100 guys on the Bingham sidelines and not one cornerback or safety to be found! That's embarassing.

I guess its a battle between PG, Alta, Davis, Northridge and Layton when Jackson gets healthy.......nice game Hawks. We'll see who endures

You proved me wrong, I also was not an Olsen fan and felt Brown should have started. Hamilton realized this was not the team from last year and stopped calling plays as if Rosenvall was the QB. They are different QB's, Olsen is a pocket guy with great down field vision. The 2nd half Hamilton ran Olsen's type Offense and played to his strengths not Rosenvall's. I think still Les you should pass a bit more because Olsen can do more. The defense was like night and day different than last week. They are very good!!!!

What happened to Bingham? There Offense was almost non existant. They are not the team from the last two years. Go Hawks!

Great atmosphere and great game. It's just week 2 and it's a long road to a championship. Special teams need a lot of work. Be nice to see more of a running game. Bingham's secondary was pathetic. Olsen seems to be the real deal, just needs to be better with his decision making.

Look at what Les Hamilton is doing at Alta with his QB's. He has Olsen, Brown, Handley all are developing well. Last years QB Rosenvall is in southern Cal turning heads and winning games. Something needs to be said about what he is doing with his QB's and how he is developing his program year in and year out. I'm surprised he is not coaching at a college somewhere.

Shut up about anyone QBing for Alta other than Ammon. You sound like Brown's dad and need to stay off the blogs. Parents always open their mouth when they should just keep it shut and support the entire team not just their kid. Thats how great programs become mediocre when parents start only caring about stats and what their son is doing and if he is getting recognized!

Heres some advice support the team and if your son is as good as you think he is then he will be able to perform on the biggest stage where college coaches are always watching. Coaches know who can play and who can't it's not about stats!
