This article should have said Highland preview. It didn't even say
anthything about MC. No worries, they can write about us after we win.

Highland 32.

You guys are so soft get ready to get tossed
Re: Moutain Crest | 9:27 p.m. Nov. 4, 2009
That was dumb to say. Highland may not have the best pass defense but they are
certainly not soft.

I went to a game following the bad start to the season at bountiful and
obviously Mountain Crest fans haven't seen them play...Bountiful is no easy
win and is every bit as good as Mountain Crest. Be ready to be shocked and awed.
GO RAMS
MC!!!! | 10:33 p.m. Nov. 4, 2009
Highland has improved a ton but so has MC!!! Highland has no answer for the
passing game, they have played the likes of Bountiful, Woods Cross, East, etc...
The Rams will score but they just cant keep up. Also, mark my words...
Highland's big boys up front will be so fatigued by halftime and MC will
pull away mid 3rd quarter. Should be a good game up until then, cant wait to see
how it all plays out. GO STANGS!!!!
What? | 10:36 p.m. Nov. 4, 2009
If Bountiful was as good as MC they would still be playing?? Correct? Both
Highland and MC are better than the first game, but MC just has to many weapons.
MC by 14......

Turnovers and penalties will decide this game. The team with the most will
probably play their last game of the year on friday. I'm not going to say
it will be a blowout because it won't be, but I think MC will prevail it a
tight game. It will be the best game in 4-A this weekend. It is to bad these
teams have to meet this early in the tourny, this game should be played at Rice
because these are two of the best teams in 4-A. I wish the UHSAA could come up
with a new system for the playoffs. Good Luck to both teams, it will be a fun
one to watch.

The last comment has been most correct. Penalties and Turnovers will decide
game. I don't think MC will turn the ball over, but they will cause some
turnovers against Cottonwood. The biggest problem for MC is going to be
Personal Foul penalties. If MC doesn't have any of those then it will be a
blowout like the first game.
Nothing has changed for either team. That is just coach speak and over zealous fans using that term that things have changed since first game. Nothing has changed. The team that doesn't turn ball over and lose their cool, because there will be Personal Fouls called, will win.
And NO i'm not a MC fan or Cottonwood fan. I just like football.

Highland is a joke | 9:17 a.m. Nov. 5, 2009
MC plays at a whole different level. It is so obvious. This game will not even
be close. Ram fans can talk trash all they want, but it will be a very quite
somber ride home.
I agree! Ram Fan!!!! | 9:44 a.m. Nov. 5, 2009
MC | 7:26 a.m. Nov. 5, 2009
Penaltys and Turnovers will be a big part of this game, but in my opinion its going to boil down to if Highland can control the clock and run the ball consistanly and keep MC off the field because that offense is so dangerous and as it has in the past Highlands depth will be an issue as most of the O-Line play D-Line and fatigue may catch up with them in the 2nd Half. Regardless this should be one of the best games of the weekend. Go Rams!!!!

Know what your talking about! | 10:20 a.m. Nov. 5, 2009
First, MC plays Highland not Cottonwood, second MC is playing at Highland so I
agree that the ride home will be somber for MC.
to - upeset alert | 10:21 a.m. Nov. 5, 2009
werent you the same person that said upset alert last week and said that salem
hills would beat mc? give it a rest
Betty Boop | 10:22 a.m. Nov. 5, 2009
John it is great that you love football, but MC is playing Highland not
Cottonwood.
Me, Myself and I | 1:31 p.m. Nov. 5, 2009
I think this will be the best playoff game of the weekend. Two great teams face
off in this one and both will be ready to play. Highland will turn a late
Mustang turnover into the winning score. Highland 28 MC 24
big talk | 1:34 p.m. Nov. 5, 2009
highland, i hope all this talk about you guys getting better is true, maybe we
will get to enjoy a game where we only win not blow you guys off the field. GO
STANGS
Highland Heckler | 1:53 p.m. Nov. 5, 2009
I'm a front row heckler and our student section alone will incite fear into
the hearts of mtn. Crest. get ready Kuresa cause you will be the victim of
crazy verbal abuse!
TO heckler | 2:36 p.m. Nov. 5, 2009
Good read!
O-Zone | 4:12 p.m. Nov. 5, 2009
Dear Highland Heckler, I think it is great that you think your student section
is that scary. May I remind you who had more students at BOTH basketball games
between Olympus and Highland last year? We took you guys at your own court for
the 4th consecutive year. We will be back again this year to reaffirm our
dominance over your rookie squad.

The Hecklers were actually useful and got people participating in the game when
I was at highland. Those were the days when other schools were actually
intimidated by the black hole. Now heckling is a joke. They are awful this year!
Just a bunch of “cool” wannabees failing to carry out old
traditions. They look silly to be honest, and they better shape up if they want
to give their team that extra edge against mountain crest.
A fan | 5:35 p.m. Nov. 5, 2009
MC rolls highland... by 28 at least... ok maybe garbage TD's by highland
against MC's 8th graders make it look closer.
Highland Heckler | 7:35 p.m. Nov. 5, 2009
First of all this is Football not basketball O-Zone and at least our insults can
be heard! Nobody can understand what you are saying! I may be a wannabe like
you say but the heckling is only a joke when it isn't a big game. Since we
have dominated most of our games this year you probably havent seen the
Heckler's in real action. Friday will be the Heckler's moments. Also
some of our loudest, crowd leading Hecklers play football and will be ready for
you Olympus!
Afterwords | 10:47 p.m. Nov. 6, 2009
MC-48, Highland-7. The Hecklers got heckled (again) and Highland's coach
was right. It was different from their first meeting. MC was even more dominant
this time. Though the fewest miles, Highlands players and fans had the longest
ride home. Oh, and "Upset-Alert" got embarrassed for the second week
in a row with his laughable prediction. The MC-Timpview game next Thursday will
decide who the 4A champion is this year. Poor playoff scheduling has them
meeting in the semi-finals, instead of what should have been the chamionship
game.

Highland lineman Peter Ferrin is second on the team with 62 tackles and he'll need to have an outstanding game if the Rams are to avenge a Week 1 loss to Mountain Crest in the quarterfinal rematch this Friday at Highland.

I am expecting this game to be very different than the one that I watched the first game of the season. Highland is a great team, they just had a slow start. They are much better, but so is Mountain Crest. This should be a classic! Hopefully my Mustangs can pull out another victory!
