Broken Wing-T

The Wing-T is broken. Sure it had a nice stint at Olympus...in 1998.

In other words, if you're not Skyline...this offense is not for you.

Broen Wing-T

You are correct. Except Skyline does not, and has not run the wing-t.

Funny Thing About Riverton

They will have the #2 seed for the playoffs, host in the first round, play the 3rd seed from Region IV, which mathematically could still be Alta, PG, or Brighton, and lose in the first round, AGAIN. Riverton defines mediocrity.

Riverton

fans are about is out of control as West Jordan's fans.Speaking of WJ & Riverton.The Silverwolfs will become the Jaguars of the south valley when Herriman
High School opens it's doors. Miners#1

RE: Winged T

Agree. However, the Wing-T did not give up 28 points, the D did.

????

Wing T 0-6 vs. BHS and will be 0-5 in the playoffs after which ever region 4 team gets the bye at Riverton in two weeks. The games have not even been close with BHS for 6 years.

Riverton

Same old story year after year. An abundance of kids to make a good football team. It is not hard to figure out what part of the puzzle piece is missing here! Riverton's kids are talented! They should be a contender not a pretender.

Not Good

Riverton is not good. Slow small running backs and poor coaching. Even with over 90 yards (2X of Riverton) in penalties and a touchdown called back, the Miners dominate. This without one of their best athletes on the field (#9).

Wow, you are an idiot. I agree that the Wing-T may have run its course, but Skyline has never run it...they are an option team. Completely different offenses, actually.

Skyline!

They don't run the Wing-T do they? I thought they ran the vear? (Spell check)

wow

To Broken, Boren, and funny guy it is amazing to me that you could be sitting at the game with family and friends saying what you say. Bingham has created an open Enrollement for every athlete to attend IE: cottonwoods running back. they have move ins that # up to 13 athletes a year bottom line they created a super team. I would love to see you coach the kids at Riverton and see whst your record would be MISTER FOOTBALL. And to Harriman lovers good luck.

Bingham Dominates

Bingham dominates period!! And it isn't because of any open enrollment! That is ridiculous! Their little league program is something to behold! Most of their great players have grown up in South Jordan and played Bingham little league since they were 8 years old!!

wow

Dominater you lie just stop lieing they do not. Binghams little league, really I gues you read the article in the paper. That tells me how much football you really know!

yeah the d let them score 28 points..but how much did the wing t offense score?

RHS Fan

I agree there are a lot of issues surrounding the program but the kids came out and fought hard in the second half and really tried to get back into the game after a poor start. They deserve better than this. Complaining on this board will not change THINGS! In regards to the staff they did a good job at making adjustments defensively in the second half to slow Bingham down and offensively at least they came out swinging in the second half. It did not work out but at least they were trying to be competitive. The score does not reflect the effort given. I know we lost but they did not roll over. They fought hard and if they give that same effort and the will need to they might make it out of the first round. Think about it they were beaten by one of the best teams in the state. I am not a fan of the staff but give them some credit they at least tried to compete unlike the Alta game and that is all you can ask for.

Skyline does

not run the wing t, too smart for that. Time to get rid of that old and tiresome offense, until then put this on your t-shirts; "One and Done in Riverton".

Riverton, good luck in the playoffs. I hope you represent Region 3 well in two weeks. Enjoy your bye week and prepare well. No matter who you play from Region 4, it's going to be a tough game. Even though I'm an avid Bingham supporter, I truly wish you the best come October 30.
Bingham fans, please don't rub it in. The game is over, Bingham took the region championship. So did golf, cross-country, volleyball, soccer, and a couple of other sports that I can't remember right now. Apologies to those teams.
For Bingham football, all that matters right now is preparing for Taylorsville.
PS: Deseret News sports reporters: Why can I find nothing on results of these sports? If you pride yourself an COMPLETE COVERAGE, you should cover them. They deserve recognition as much as the football teams do.

Playoffs

Bingham will either have Brighton or Alta in the first round

yeah

GO RIVERTON!!!

I'm Just a Girl but...

re Playoffs

bingham will play whoever is 4th in region 4... so is it even possible for alta to drop 2 spots if they lose to pg?? right??? the way i see it is bingham will be playing brighton either way
