This game was a classic "bend, but don't break" type of game.
Hurricane intercepted 4 passes to kill drives which ended up settting the table
for scores. They caused fumbles. The "D" was great!
Kudos to Morgan. They played a great game.

Hurricane went to the 2A finals in 1989. They lost to San Juan that year.
Setting History Straight | 8:21 a.m. Nov. 14, 2008
Hurricane actually played for the State Championship in 1982, 1983, and around
1990. I think we have not won a Football State championship since 46.
Congratulations to the Tigers.

Actually "History" it is the first championship game since 1989 for
the Tigers. In any case, thank you to BOTH teams for a great game! Major stat.
wise it was as close as they come. Bad breaks on the part of Morgan with the
interceptions which were the real difference in the game. Very talented backs on
both teams were hugely impressive. Yes, Gordie showed his prowess, but I was
also impressed with Morgan's #4. He almost always seemed to find the seams
in a very tight Tiger defense and just refused to be brought down by only one
tackler.
I'm looking forward to next Friday. Should be a great one no matter who the opponent is.
GO TIGERS!

I'm proud of my Morgan boys! You guys played hard!
Tiger Player | 9:27 a.m. Nov. 14, 2008
Morgan was the classiest team I've ever seen after a loss. Way to go guys,
it was a great game and
great season.
great season.

Enjoy your win, cause its the last you'll get once you run into Juan Diego.
You didn't look that good to me. If Morgan would have passed the ball the
whole time you would have been in trouble.

What about Hurricanes loss to Logan in the state finals in 05 or 06 (Kenny
Scott, Mike Long, Cody Olsen). I'm not sure of which year it was but
I'm sure they played in the championship game. Logan was incredible that
year.
Hurricane played a great game last night. I was very happy to see the play calling that first drive of the second half. Perfect combination of pass, run to Pugh, run to Sorensen that opened the middle for Dotson.
Morgan was impressive in many ways. They did make plays and number 4 did find ever seam out there. He was a determined runner.
Good luck next week Hurricane!

Dotson and fellow players,

We had four interceptions. If they would have passed the ball the whole time,
we would have had ten interceptions.

are you serious every time they passed we picked it?? come on man get real

but morgan couldnt catch the ball haha
Hey Juan DIego Pride | 10:32 a.m. Nov. 14, 2008
Maybe you should take a lesson from all the Morgan trash talkers, or are you too
blind/stupid to see what it got them? Take care of your own game today and next
week (IF you are there) then we'll see who's talking trash.
JD | 10:44 a.m. Nov. 14, 2008
Nice comment JD Pride. You are a great example of the lack of class JD has.
Football Fan | 11:47 a.m. Nov. 14, 2008
Why is Juan Diego so sure they are going to be around next week? They still have
a game to play.
FACT | 12:23 p.m. Nov. 14, 2008
Morgan 28 Logan 21
Juan Diego 28 Logan 21
Juan Diego 21 Delta 7
Morgan 26 Delta 7
I think you get what I'm saying
Juan Diego 28 Logan 21

Although not a JD Fan, they do have what it takes this year to win it all. They
do have an easy region but they are still the team to beat. Hurricane has made a
living off turnovers. Juan Diego holds on to the ball it will not be a contest.
They turn it over and Hurricane runs away with the title. Head to Head Juan
Diego is a better team.
Judge Fan | 2:19 p.m. Nov. 14, 2008
And to "Fact". Nobody really gets what you are saying. Those
"facts" mean absolutely nothing. This is a game of matchups and Logan
& Delta did not match up well with JD & Morgan. Who did Hurricane play
outside of Pine View? Juan Diego is a well coached disaplined team that usually
does'nt make mistakes and there defense is stellar. Hurricane is also a
good team but when the offenses throw to wide open defenders it makes the
defense look better than they actually are. I think after JD whollups PC tonite
Hurricane will meet a defensive team they really don't matchup well with.
This will mean their big #24 back will not be able to "pad" his stats
like was done in previous games.
H | 4:03 p.m. Nov. 14, 2008
why all the trash talking, lets just meet at the stadium next Friday and see who
plays better that day. Morgan and Hurricane were both class acts last night!
Great job to both teams, it amazes me why H is always so underated any good we
do has to be excused away lets just be grateful to the place we have made it to
we deserve it! the coaches are class acts, and hopefully the people involved in
the movement last year against them have seen that! and dont fool yourselves it
wasnt your doing.
lol | 5:05 p.m. Nov. 14, 2008
Wow how was the bus ride home Judge lol. Hurricane has the best D in 3a you
should know lol. Besides they played there worst game of the year against you
and still won laffin.
Who did who play? | 6:59 p.m. Nov. 14, 2008
Are you kidding me, JD? You are asking who Hurricane has played? Talk about
the pot calling the kettle black!
Who has Juan Diego played? Let's see...
West (4-6), Grantsville (2-9), Cyprus (4-7), Wasatch (2-9), Judge (6-6), Salem Hills (1-9), Emery (4-7), North Sanpete (3-8), Carbon (0-10), Delta (10-2).
Opponents overall win-loss= (35-73)
So they only played 2 teams with more than 4 wins.

RE: History | 7:26 p.m. Nov. 14, 2008
You are wrong they played in the 1989 2a state championship and lost to San
Juan.
To Hurricane Fan | 7:46 p.m. Nov. 15, 2008
The game between Hurricane and Logan in 2005 was a semi-final game not the
championship game! Logan did have an great team that year and went on to win
the championship against Pine View.

Hurricane fans were incredible. Despite having to travel the furthest to get to SLC, they showed up in full Tiger Army gear and in greater numbers than the opposing team.
One more week! This is awesome!
