Comments about ‘High school football: Jordan beats Brighton — again’

Wait... I kept seeing Brighton fans saying on here that they were going to beat Bingham in the first round... But here it says that they lost and won't even be in the playoffs. Now that's confusing! Can someone explain?

looks like Jordan found its defense. bingham, you better be ready to play on Saturday.

Its unfortunate that such a great team as Brighton this year will not be in the playoffs. My guess is that if they were in any other region they would have entered with a great seeding. I am still impressed with such a talented team.

Great job Jordan!! Its tough to beat a good team twice and it showed that you deserve a playoff berth. You may even get an upset over Bingham, its been a while since they played anyone good.

Jordan gives up almost as many points as they score. Strange as it is sounds Jordan wins with its offense. However, championships are won with defense ! The smashmouth grind out the clock offense of Bingham will keep the Jordan offense watching on the sideline. Bingham by 24 on Saturday.

hahaha brighton couldnt even make it to the playoffs. thats hilarious.

I don't know if Jordan found a defense if they gave up 30 points (in bad weather...). Bingham is a lot smarter than Brighton, so don't get caught up in the moment. They won't make a lot of the same mistakes. On a positive note, that Robinson kid is spectacular! Skinny, but fast! Hope he plays somewhere.

I'm not a Bingham fan, infact, I can't stand the whole attitude of that program, but I know Jordan won't stand a chance against them.

I am not a Bingham fan let me make that clear but I have seen both Jordan and Bingham play and Bingham is A LOT more physical then Jordan. Bingham will take state this year

It appears that Brighton fans making references to beating Bingham in the first round was their way of telling their team they thought they could get a victory against Jordan: Go Bengals, you can do it. Fans do that...think positive to give their team confidence and encouragement.

It could also be that Brighton posters were doing what the second poster at 12:40 a.m. ("don't overlook Jordan") implies.

However, to answer your query...I believe Brighton fans were doing what you are doing: doing some smack talking to rev their team up.

I hope that provides the explanation you requested.

Congrats to Jordan, it was great to see future Aggie Hart win two tough games back to back, something no one thought they would do!

Good luck in the playoffs Jordan!

What kind of attitude does Bingham have?

The only way Jordan will beat Bingham is if they match them touchdown for touchdown and some how pull it off in the end. I think Jordan will play well, but Bingham is just better.

they are like Cottonwood, no one likes them. And it's not because they are good, it's because their fans, families, players (the Haka? seriously?) etc etc. people don't like Bingham for the same reasons that people don't like BYU. I'm not trying to get into an argument, I'm just saying...

There is a sense of entitlement at Bingham. As far as their top players are concerned the playoffs should be canceled and they should be handed the trophy because they are Bingham. Me personally I remember when they could not beat a team of kids in a schoolyard scrimage. I hope this years contests will bear interesting fruit but I would be fake if I did not admit that I have no problem with Bingham going home early. Bingham is good but they are not the greatest ever in Utah high school football. Talk to me when they have more than 10 state footbal titles in 20 years, 18+ seasons above .500, and 15 consecutive playoff showings. That is the Bingham attitude. The head coach has plenty of perspective however the fans and the parents are way out of touch. Personally I will be cheering for Alta but that is why we play the games.

another great game by Hart and Hammond. I'd have to say they should be offensive co-mvp's in Region 4, and I'm an Alta guy. I don't think many people give them a chance at Bingham, and in reality it would be a major upset, but don't think it isn't possible.

Way to go Jordan, your in the playoffs. Now make the next step and lets get past Bingham. To win the offense has to execute like they have all year, and win the turnover battle by 2 or more. Just like 2 years back in Cody's senior year. Thats what killed us last year, tons of ints. Also dont underestimate binghams ability to pass, its easy to lock into that predictable run offense, but dont forget the pass, another thing that killed us last year.
Way to go jordan, just beleive and you can do it.

I disagree with the comment about people not liking Cottonwood for the same reasons they don't like Bingham. People don't like Bingham because they usually end up getting whipped by the Miners, not because they have obnoxious fans. I'd say Bingham fans are the classiest winners out there. CW on the other hand has other issues they have to deal with. They play undisciplined football and talk an awful lot, as do their fans (or one or two of them anyway), and thus far haven't played as well as they'd expected to. People dislike CW because when they do lose to them CW acts like they've never won before.

The way I read the story all Bingham has to do is break this connection and Bingham has got the game.

Wow Jordan! Beating a great team 2 times in a row is unreal. Defense, where have you been all year? You found the right time to step it up, that's for sure. Taylor Smith, thank you for saving the game. That was way too close for comfort. BRADEN HAMMOND, you are a freaking stud! Hart you are just amazing, enough said. All 11 games over 300 yards passing is unheard of. Jordan we need to be close to perfection to have any chance with Bingham. No bad penelties please. Special teams, keep your lanes!
Good luck Jordan!

To Brighton: You have nothing to be ashamed of. You have some serious talent on your team. You played your hearts out! Ricky Heimuli, WOW! No I know why everyone is scared of you. You are a MONSTER! Fast, fast and fast, for your size. Keep your heads up Brighton!

I told everyone on the previous jordan vs. brighton article that Taylor Smith is the best safety jordan has had in years...i retract that statement tho...Taylor Smith is the best safety in The State!!! He's a game changer!!! but one guy this article didnt mention was DUKE BABKA huge on 3rd downs!!!! he was the Defensive Player of the Game in my opinion!!!
