Comments about ‘High school football: Layton downs Syracuse in defensive struggle’

This was a great game..both teams did good but I think without Williams Layton would have lost that boy is strong and fast hope he stays healthy now that he's getting back to normal

I am from Salt Lake and have followed region 1 all season. All I can say is the Salt Lake schools better watch out. Region 1 can play some football top to bottom. There are no Hillcrest or West Jordan's up here. Watch out Bingham and Alta. They play some defense up north. Let the play-offs begin!

We are so proud of you Titans. You gave Layton a great game and you had them worried. You deserve alot of respect and have come along way. You have proved you can play with anyone. You play with alot of heart and we will forever be TITAN FANS!!!!!!!!

YEAH BOY!!!!!!!!
STaring at possible 2nd straight undefeated region 1 championship. Not sure how many yards or what his completion rate was, but Layton's QB Cam Applegate was on fire! I think tonight, it was determined Thomas Bryson is now a go to guy as a receiver, where earlier this year, it was stated that there was no go to guy. As a QB, you always want and need a go to guy. Always.

Way to go Thomas Bryson. This was your game. Up to 13 sacks on the year. More colleges will come calling with nights like this.

Syracuse, hats off to you. Well battled war in the trenches. Your linebackers are studs. No wonder you've only given up a TD on the average. Good game boys.

Can't speak for the team but for this fan, the titans have my respect. Good job to the coach and especially the players.

What are you saying, Bingham and Alta don't play defense. Bingham's defense was suffocating against Riverton last night and if you've been watching the Alta scores you can see teams are hard pressed to score at all against them. All we heard last year was about Layton's "three horseman" backs and what an overpowering defense they had. Alta held the backs to negative yards and cruised to a win in the championship game. We all knew the real championship was the week before with Bingham. Props to Alta who is again outstanding this year. The brackets are set...Bingham will play Layton in round three at Rice Eccles on Nov 13 at 10:30 am....that is if Layton can get past Jordan or Skyline in the second round. We'll see who plays defense that day. The real defensive battle will be the following week between Bingham and Alta for championship.

There was a guy commenting yesterday on here that said Syracuse was going to get blown out, where is he now?

Thanks for setting us know!!!! I love it when a region one fan poses to be from Salt Lake. Anyway, they say there good every year, and there not. Until someone from up there beats one of the 2 TEAMS from down here you wont have any respect. When you have a bunch of mediocre teams they look like there good against each other but there not.

we came(in under the radar screen), we saw, we conquered. a classic Roman adage that matches our mascot. watch out next wednesday viewmont! the Layton High Lancers are going to...Veni, Vedi, Veci!

GOOOOOO BIG BLUE!!!!!

This was Thomas Bryson's game of the year! 4 sacks, I think puts him near top in the state in sacks with 13, and at least 6 receptions. Cam Applegate was awesome also. Not sure of the completion ratio or how many yards, but he was dead on target.

You guys fought a tough battle, as the Syracuse D was definately stingy. The Cuse linebackers are studs!

Fine game to watch. Stanford is lucky and so is Airorce. They have two fine athletes coming their way. Laytons offense is still not back on track. If they find it they will be hard to beat.

Great defensive game. Both teams played with heart. Congrats to Layton. Syracuse front four on defense and Layton front four are awesome.

That is such a naive statement, if a Layton didn't have a Williams I think they would have lost well lets play the dumb post what if game...
*I think that if Syracuse played better football they would have won.
*I think that if Layton had Lavaun Jackson back 100% they would have won more easily
*I think that if #17 for Layton didn't play that the whole Syracuse team would not be seeing tweety birds still today, including pile driving you QB four times and hurrying passes three others!!! your tackles will be running laps all week for that showing.
I'm A Syracuse fan from here on out, you guys are a great team to keep it close. I'm just not a fan of the 'what if' posts Layton dumped almost twice as many yards on you but still we were all in the stands when time expired. GREAT GAME both teams now lets beat some SLC schools in STATE!!!

SLC is already poking there posts in here cuz they have nothing to talk about agains there Jr. High teams in their region. We have been entertained thanks for the hard hitting compitition up north and Re 1, wow i can't wait to see Jordan and or Skyline we prob won't get both where can you find the brackets for 08 5A playoffs? we'll get to see where SLC stands when you get NorthRidge in the first round and Syracuse in the second. Ouch look alive

Not very convincing to me. Syracuse and the slow-motion offense sin't very hard to stop.

Layton has the Utah Jazz syndrome, once they lead they pull back on the reins way too early. That is why they lost to cottonwood.

With the expection of the clearfield game Layton hasn't "won" a game. Every other team they have played has lost the game. Davis- inside the red zone 6 times and only come away with 1 score. Nothridge- have a PAT type field goal to win but instead go for it. Syracuse missed 5 tackles on a 3rd down late in the game that would have gotten them the ball back up 10 to 7. Case in point Layton is a good football team that will get beat by football teams that dont shoot themselves in the foot like Alta and Bingham. True Blue Layton fan it is "The Truth" and everybody who has followed Layton High football this year knows it.

i have to say, being out there with those boys, up close, it really makes you appreciate them even more,they work so hard. THE LANCERS CREATE LEGENDS... this year, will be one to talk about forever. these boys ROCK!
keep working hard boys, you got this!

Since when was Layton under the radar any time this year? They are always talked about Layton in the papers. This game was a good one. I think Syracuse could have taken it just had a bit too much mistakes. Hopefully we can show teams that region 1 is some teams you dont wanna mess with.

Under the radar? You guys are probably the most hyped up team in the state with all your stupid gimmicks and nicknames. I hope you are just goofing off, cause your comment looks like you're a pre-teen.

This is not the same team as last year, this Region play has been a grind, and great to watch.!! Other than a miss represented cheerleader. I have not seen a post that says Layton is better than Alta or Bingham., for that matter we welcome the chance to play either or both. this Layton team playes both sides of the ball 48 minutes. Layton doesn't have the luxury to play one side of the ball, then coast the second half of the game cuz of week compitition.


***DON'T TAKE THIS REGION WIN AWAY FROM A TEAM THAT EARNED EVERY BIT OF IT, THE HARD WAY!!! WINNING CLOSE GAMES, LOOSING A KEY RUNNINGBACK KEY OTHER PLAYERS TO INJURY, AND A DEAR FRIEND AND TEAMMATE. KADE COOPER.***


This Region is tough and there is a True Champion up here.

LANCER PRIDE FOREVER!!!!!
