As I have said, coach Mcallister has the kids ready and focused for one game at
a time. We hope soon, that there will be a new red banner to go next to the 1925
state championship banner in the gym. A new tradition and football power is
emerging.
Re: JD Books | 7:44 p.m. Oct. 28, 2009
Do you share that banner with the other three schools? How does that work?
Rich Rebels | 10:02 p.m. Oct. 28, 2009
Go South Summit. You got this! Just hold onto the ball. You are better. Take
advantage of the home field.

OH MAN! ha that cracks me up! you guys haven't had a sate championship
since 1925. thats sad. haha i love being able to go in the gym and look up at
MILLARD's many many BLUE championship banners! This is MILLARDs year for
another one. You guys play hard and live with no regrets!!! Leave it all out on
the field. All the hard work (blazing hot three a days in the summer to snow
covered field practices) will pay off! Do your Best! Make us all here in
Fillmore and the surrounding communities proud! GO EAGLES!!!!

that Kanab football carries! i am a believer. go big k-town machine take state!

You used to say that you would bring home the gold trophy and now you are saying
that hopefully you will be able to. What changed your mind all of a sudden?
Good Luck Rams.(Parowan)
JD Books.... | 12:03 a.m. Oct. 29, 2009
a trip to Northern Utah to watch the "Mighty Rams" hoist the Gold
Trophy, only to find out they were playing basketball. He wraps up in his new,
red 2009 State Champion banner and slowly cries himself to sleep while visions
of sugar plums (I mean Wolves) dance in his head!
2a Fan | 7:31 a.m. Oct. 29, 2009

the state championship trophy isn't even gold, its like a brown granite,
guess you guess have never held one before
ENTERPRISE FAN | 9:13 a.m. Oct. 29, 2009
Nice article James. You quote every home teams coach but ours. Thanks. That will
put a little more FIRE in our guts!
ram | 9:44 a.m. Oct. 29, 2009
yeah we don't have a football tradition, but what about our baseball. when
my dad was in school we were dominant, but now we aren't so good. things
change, our football has came along way from previous seasons. good job boys, im
proud to be a RAM
JD Books | 10:08 a.m. Oct. 29, 2009
We know it has been a while since we won a football championship but beware this
year will be the first of many to come. South Sevier is now the team to beat in
2A football, we are a team of DESTINY. Coach Mcallister has built our program
to where we just reload each year and will keep on winning championships. We
will be hanging red banners and hoisting GOLDEN TROPHIES for years to come. You
should all make the trip to Monroe this weekend to watch the best team in the
state. I also recommend you come watch us tear apart the Cowboys next week in
Cedar! Then the next week the field at Alta High School will finally get to have
a real team on it as we once agian destroy the Millard Eagles to hoist our
GOLDEN TROPHY that is our DESTINY!!!
2A | 10:11 a.m. Oct. 29, 2009
too bad red devils are made of fire and can and will totally win.
Re:2A Fan | 10:16 a.m. Oct. 29, 2009
I like all four of your picks. I do think Enterprise is being overlooked a
ltitle, but that will end this weekend with a win. I think South Summit playing
at home with a week's rest is the difference. I also think the South
Sevier game will be closer than many. The only place I might be differenet is I
think the SJ game will also be close. I saw the game between those two teams
earlier in the year and it was real competitive until late. I do think SJ is
stronger and more physical and will eventually wear them down. SJ front seven
on D are strong, quick, and physical.

sorry JD i don't think he has built a program where we reload each
year....this is just a case of a good group of kids, i played both football and
basketball at SS and the basketball program has reloads each year because of the
great coaching, tradition and pride....football has none of that, with the
exception of a few great coaches....im not saying that mccallister cant get SS
there but it will take more work and time and more than one good season to prove
anything
Snowy San Juan | 11:40 a.m. Oct. 29, 2009
There is 5 inches of snow on San Juan's footbll field, hope it melts fast.
Could make the game more fun!
Snowy Field | 12:26 p.m. Oct. 29, 2009
The snow will be gone by tomorrow and the weather outlook is nothing but sun
starting tomorrow. Snow won't be a factor. Too bad it would help san juan
and their running game.
to thee... JD Books | 12:40 p.m. Oct. 29, 2009
you said your going to kill the cowboys next week which means the cowboys beats
san juan this week. but on the other blog you said SJ 24 Kanab 21.
i'm just curious how your gonna play kanab when you perdicted San Juan to beat them.

JD...will you wear a shirt at your football games that reads 'I'm an
IDIOT" so we can all pick you out of the crowd...oh, never mind we will be
able to see you in the crowd, you will be the one running down to the end zone
to catch the point after kick and than running the ball to the sideline and
giving Bischoff and Coach M a big HUG and saying win this game for ME. You
don't have one game correct, San Juan will beat Kanab and S. Summit will
beat Millard and guess what...you will get beat by the Broncs. Even if Kanab
pulls the upset you will get beat by them also. Enjoy your win this week it
will be your last with this class and you will be lucky to finish in 3rd place
next year in the west region.
Re: JD Books | 1:35 p.m. Oct. 29, 2009
So um.....your last so called "championship" was in 1925? I put
"" around "championship" because it really isn't a
championship because there was a three way tie..oh I know! You could flip for
it, and maybe get it! I mean, you did get lucky enough to get the number 1 seed
by a flip of a coin....which you didn't deserve. I mean, you did lose to
enterprise. I know you guys can flip coins now, but can you play football?
JD Books | 1:49 p.m. Oct. 29, 2009
This is the real JD Books. I have never said in an authorized post that San
Juan will beat Kanab. The paper tigers will go down in defeat and South Sevier
will then beat Kanab in Cedar. San Juan is overated. They don't have the
weapons to compete with the elite teams from the west region. Kanab is healthy
and will beat San Juan on their own field by 3 touchdowns.

Give Coach M Hug. Then do a cartwheel. Thats funny right there.

It is flattering that someone likes to post blogs under my name that make me
look like an idiot. Great job whoever you are.
As far as our championship in 1925, I think it was quite an accomplishment in those days. Back then there were not 5 classifications, so we had to go through the bigger schools up north to get that trophy with the leather helmets. I am sure the kids and community back then were just as proud as they are now. Both the 1925 team and todays rams have something in common. In 1925 as today, there is D1 talent all over the field.

1925 | 3:37 p.m. Oct. 29, 2009
I just read on Millard's football facebook page that they didn't even
have a team until 1926. I wonder how many teams there really even were in 1925
then? Six or seven?
Anonymous | 3:45 p.m. Oct. 29, 2009
JD really wanted to say ay 1:49 is I hope Kanab can pull it out agianst SJ
because we have no chance beating them if Kanab cant. As a matter of fact SJ
looks forward to beating the Rams as I know most true SS fans are hoping for the
same thing (to see SJ that is)....But JD is shaking because of the heat he will
get when SS cant score a point with thier team full of D1 players. I hope SS get
by Parowon just so SJ can smoke them and make sure SS knows its spot in 2A
football...that would be a wannabe

Kanaba Attack | 3:55 p.m. Oct. 29, 2009
Snow or not in Blanding its going to be a win for the cowboys. San Juan luckily
won the last game. Its going to be a sweet ride home and then we will take it
all the way to state. Go Kanab!

RE: Kanab Attack | 4:19 p.m. Oct. 29, 2009
Why were they lucky to win the first game? I was at the game and San Juan just
wore us out and then put the game away in the fourth quarter. They have a
really good defense and play very physical. I know that one of their best
linebackers was out for the first few games but is back now. Kanab was at full
strenght at the time and SJ was not and they still beat us. We will need to
play a perfect game and hope San Juan makes several mistakes if we want to
win.
Go Cowboys!
Go Cowboys!
Ultimate Fan | 4:28 p.m. Oct. 29, 2009
I think that the best game of the quarters will be played on the South Summit
football field. We are lookin for a great game. Go Cats - you rock

Re: Ultimate Fan | 5:01 p.m. Oct. 29, 2009
I would have to agree! Both teams are going to have to bring their A-game. This
will definitely be neck-n'-neck the entire game. Let's go Millard!

You don't need people to make you look like an idiot.... you make yourself
look like one with your silly comments.
Jd started it | 9:29 p.m. Oct. 29, 2009
by bragging about how good ss coach is you opened a giant can of worms now you
have former players posting negatively about him. better to cut your losses and
get out now. Your coach is having a good football season but one season does not
make him a great coach,hes also your baseball coach? hows that working out for
ya?
swine flu | 9:07 a.m. Oct. 30, 2009
I have heard that Millard Q-Back and S. Summits Q-Back both have swine flu, can
anyone confirm that? Go EAGLES, you will get a win tomorrow!!
RE: swine flu | 9:48 a.m. Oct. 30, 2009
I dont know about the Millard qb but the south summit qb is questionable for
tomorrow. last i heard he hadnt practiced for a few days.
Big Green Tractor | 10:48 a.m. Oct. 30, 2009
I sure hope these GB's don't have the swine flu. Both teams are
healthy, this would be the game of the week in the state of Utah. If these
GB's do have the swine flu, I wish them well, and hope they get better in
time for the game tomorrow. Let's go MILLARD!
Millard | 10:51 a.m. Oct. 30, 2009
Everyone on the Millard team is healthy. No excuses there.
re: Swine Flu | 10:54 a.m. Oct. 30, 2009
If the players have the H1N1, they should NOT be playing. Their health, and the
other player's health comes first.
Old Timer | 2:15 p.m. Oct. 30, 2009
It's interesting how most of you young fellas like to moan about this or
that. Face facts every team of the eight has a chance. They play the best they
can and the other team plays the worst they can and anything can happen. San
Juan and South Summit are the clear favorites with the so called tied for first
three teams from the west next. A healthy Kanab team would have fixed that tie
for the west region. San Juan will take it all again and you can bank that for
sure!
South Sevier Tribute | 4:27 p.m. Oct. 30, 2009
With the playoffs coming up I want to give a shout out to my Rams from Monroe. I
would also like to remind everybody of the power house tradition that we have
had in the playoffs. Im going to give a year by year of what we have done. I
hope you enjoy and remember if you are in our way we will take you out just like
we did in the past.
2008 Lost 52-29 to North Summit
2007 Lost 47-14 to Juab
2006 Lost 19-8 to Gunnison
2005 Lost 37-14 to Manti
2001 Lost 8-7 to Manti
2000 Lost 13-7 to Manti
1999 Lost 29-0 to San Juan
1998 Lost 21-20 to Grand
1993 Lost 28-0 to Grantsville
We lost by an average of 14 points. Basically this is how we have dominated our opponents. If you have to play South Sevier im sorry. You are in for a tough match up. Let me know what you all think. Go RAMS!

re:south sevier tribute | 8:33 p.m. Oct. 30, 2009
cant tell if youre being sarcastic or just being dumb. HELLO its 2009 you must
be a disgruntled "former player". millard started playing football in
1926, how many losing seasons did they have before they turned it on? GREAT
PROGRAMS GOTTA START SOMEWHERE how do you know this isnt the beginning of a
great run?
Funny | 9:09 p.m. Oct. 30, 2009
This blog stuff is funny. I hope all the kids have fun tomorrow.
Lets be honest | 10:03 p.m. Oct. 30, 2009
I bet you 90 percent of the people on these blogs are in high school and half of
them are just saying stuff to get a rise out of someone. South Sevier Tribute is
probably just laughing at the replies he gets from his posts. JD Books is
probably laughing at all the replies he gets back too. Personally I think they
are both hilarious.
re:lets be honest | 10:25 a.m. Oct. 31, 2009
probably half right, i think jd books is a legit ram fan-JD POSERS are trying to
get a rise out of people. It would be nice for the rest of us if you and your
kind would just stay of the boards.
