Comments about ‘5A high school football championship: Alta makes it back to back titles’

Way to go Hawks! They said we couldn't do it without Shak. They said we couldn't do it without Rosenvall (nice to see him at the game by the way). They said close games against Davis and Jordan meant Bingham would roll us. They said we were overrated... Way to rise up and prove them wrong! Good job PROVING you deserve the trophy for the SECOND YEAR IN A ROW!

Way to go Hawks!!!! We knew you could do it!!

the rivalry between alta and bingham is a big one. both teams are great teams. but when you have kids like ammon olsen and parker webster, zach liston and skyler mayne on your offensive side. and defensively parker haus, ai hoching, (who plays with more heart than anyone i know) dan adams, brandon wise, beaver hoching, trey phillips, and zack bigelow, its almost impossible to beat a team with so much talent. but its not only the talent that got them through this game. its the love they have for each other. alta is the best school in the state. 4 state championships and counting. i'm proud of my friends that were out there on the field this friday night. i love everyone of them. Go Hawks.

I have traveled up and down this state watching Thursday, Friday, and yes even a few Saturday games. In my humble objective opinion these are my rankings.

Rankings
1) Timpview
2) Cottonwood
3) Alta
4) Juan Diego
5) Bingham
6) Hurricane
7) Logan
8) Mountain Crest & Pineview are tied
9) Jordan
10) Delta

Bingham played not to loose instead of to win in the final couple of possessions. Great teams have coaches that call plays that stick daggers in the hearts of their opponents in the end.
Alta's coaches called the plays to allow their kids the chance to win. And they did.

Ammon Olsen showed his amazing ability to keep focused when the Hawks needed it most! He gets the job done every time! And Alta's defense was incredible. Thanks for heart-stopping, feet-stamping incredibly fantastic game! WOW! Go Hawks!

Congratulations to both teams, you both played a great game. Alta you have exceptional kids, you never give up just like a true champion. We thought you were going to kill us after your first drive. Our two games against you were the toughest games we have had all year. We fought hard, your players wanted it more. Congratulations once again, see you next year.

Bingham Rules!

WAY TO GO HAWKS!! THAT WAS AN INCREDIBLE COMEBACK!!

This was one of the most entertaining games to watch. Way to go Alta! Keeping focused on the prize really pulled through. Take it all in because high school goes quick and will be some of the best days of your lives. I do give props to Binghams crowd though, they were in it the whole game. Alta, instead of talking with your friends the whole time; get into the game a little bit. I promise this will make it so much more fun. I challenge Alta to make some noise in the upcoming basketball season!

I watched this game with no horse in the race and bingham should have won. Lack of discipline and lack of effort lost this game for bingham.

Way to go ALta!!! and way to go Ammon. WE were cheering you on all the way from VA!!!!

Seth Becerra is a freakin' stud, just like his dad! What a great game. Normally I would have liked Alta to go down in flames, but as soon as I saw Becerra making a contribution, I was an Alta fan. Great job guys!

really disappointed watching this game. overhyped matchup. offenses very mediocre, though Alta's QB is awesome.

sorry i'm a 5A fan, but TV really is the best team in state

Beaver HoChing was awesome! And a Hot body. Congrats alta maybe next time bingham.

Not to take anything away from Alta, they made the plays down the stretch. But some credit has to go to the refs. The "ghost" pass interference call was a horrible call and kept Alta's fourth quarter scoring drive going. If Bingham gets a stop on that drive, we have a different outcome.

I'm not exactly sure what Bingham Rules, maybe they have a good hot lunch program.
Congrats to the Hawks. Nice game......

With Bingham up 17-6 and driving, Langi runs it down to the Alta 11 yard line (probably resulting in another TD for the Miners, making it 24-6). BUT the referees call not one, but two 15 yard penalties on Bingham. Instead of first and 10 at Alta's 11. Bingham is 2nd and 41 from around midfield. Sorry, Alta that was the play of the game.
Also, got help from the ref on Alta's sideline calling a TERRIBLE PI to keep Alta's scoring drive going. Don't like to see the stripes have that much impact on a game of this caliber.

Go blog somewhere else, where Bingham matters, and stay off our site! Bingham didn't rule last night, it was the men in BLACK who ruled!

The Hawks showed great heart last night in being down 17-6 in the ourth quarter, and then to pull off the win. Way to go Hawks!

Congrats to Alta on the tough win. The defense should be the MVP. I know that the QB's always get the glory. Olsen did a good turn around but I think Hamilton was a little over zealous declaring him the best athlete in the state. Throughout the season I have seen that there are some QB's that would have worked even better with the Alta O-line. But it's good to recognize the winners. I just think that the coach failed to recognize the greatness of each player last night. I know that he has been trying to get his QB, which other than his strong arm is average at best, a legitimate offer. Great job to the rest of the team!!!
