Comments about ‘High school football: Backup QB leads Alta past Riverton’

Wing T is bogus. Move on coach and use a more diverse offense. Riverton has the highest enrollment in the state and should be producing high caliber teams. This old fashioned offense is killing them! They need a new look or will forever be chasing Alta and Bingham.

Congrats to the JV guys who stepped up big tonight. Im reffering to Boston Handley and coach Wolford feeling in for Halbert. Hope everything is better Ron. we love you.

I would have to agree with "Offense is Lame". With Riverton's enrollment being so high there is no excuse for these mediocre seasons. There has got to be tons of talent walking the halls in that school.

Do you have anything better to do Mr. lame and what do you know about football..

We are the best! Where were all those juniors that were going to prove something? Well I guess they proved it. The Hawk Flock is coming boys!

Way to go Boston!

Where did that game come from? Best game you have played in three years, hands down. I think I am speaking for all Alta fans, we were elated and stunned with your play last night. We are all happy you finally had a good game and you saved your best for an enormous varsity win. We didn’t know you had it in you. You showed us last night. Congratulations!!! My vote is you make player of the week after that incredible performance. Fantastic job last night.

GREAT job Boston Handley.
341 yd's and 4 td's? Thats incredible. You deserve it.
All you needed was the opportunity and a good team around you.
Keep it rolling and good luck next week.

"Mr lame" is very right there is no reason (Besides the Wing-T) that the group we had last year shouldnt have been better it was the old school offense!! This is comming from someone who knows a little about RIVERTON football. Mr wow

Good job Boston, you really stepped up, now you know what Hamilton wants. You do the job, and you're the man. Keep progressing, your stats were great no let down push yourself and great things will happen. It has been 6 or 7 years since a junior QB started for Alta.

chasing alta and bingham??? your chasing everyone...alta bingham jordan cottonwood brighton pleasent grove american fork lone peak davis northridge...riverton has alot more to worry about than just alta and bingham...

Way to go Boston. It was awesome to watch you play last night. You looked like a veteran in the pocket. Good luck the rest of the season.

I have read a lot of negative comments this season and have not posted on any of it but last night was embarrassing. I wish there was some positive way to spin it but there’s not. We were out coached, out played and soundly beaten. If it was just one game or one season I could understand but it is the same every year. All that bull posted about seniors, juniors, really does not matter, if you are not willing to put the kids in a position to win (scratch that) to at least compete then there is an issue. There is a lot of talent at Riverton and it’s not being used period. We did nothing last night to compete. No adjustments,no real substitutions,nothing! We just lined up and took it. I understand you can't just draw plays up in the dirt. You could have tried to at least sub some different linemen, use the back up QB as he is a better runner, gone gun the fourth qtr. something anything. We were already getting blown out who would care. I would rather go down swinging than just roll over.

I Qb'd a wing T offense my senior year. Easiest way to stop it...sit your linebackers and d line on the guards. we got stopped every time unless it was a pass play. Wing T = stupid offense= old school coaches = losing seasons, or a lucky season.

Alta do not think that you are all big and bad now after beating Riverton. They are not very good. You will have your hands full with A.F. and L.P.

I love Coach Halpert......the guy is a winner and the reason the Alta Defense is so tough year in and year out. The time he spends watching film and preparing his defense is incredible. My son loved playing for Coach Halpert, because when the ball snapped, my son knew exactly what to do and how to stop the opposing offense .....When my son looks at his Ring and his All-State trophies, he thinks of Halpert....Don't stay away long Coach, your Alta legacy is not complete! All the Best because You are the Best, Coach Halpert!!

alta's line compared to riverton's lineman was a like college vs jr. college...i assist with tickets and stuff at games and trust me-there are not kids this size roaming the halls at riverton....hang in there wolves and finish strong...our staff is made of quality individuals who should not be 'run off'... alta your guys played some great football and should be final four or better

Great Job Boston!

Is Boston Handley the son of former Alta QB Todd Handley that played QB for the Hawks in the early 80s?

Now you see what Boston can do when he has receivers that can run and catch. He has been given no chance with the first team. Now you know who the best thrower is at Alta! Full confidence Boston, you have earned this! A lot of frustration....doesn't it feel GOOD!!!
