I wanna be the first to congratulate the Devils. Super fun game, and I loved the intensity on both sides. I am so proud of my cats. Helped make my senior year so much better. Best of luck to you Springville.

Nice home cookin' officiating Dixie. Go all the way to St. George just to be robbed by the refs. Go CATS!!!

Sure maybe the offense didn't come to play but the defense was solid. To have the victory snatched away by "penalties" is just heartbreaking! The better team did not win and I think everyone there knew it! To hold an explosive team like SV to only 180 total yards, great job Cats! Those refs need to let the kids decide the outcome not themselves!

Classy comment Cat Fan - they are both good teams and it could have gone either way. Congrats on the Cats great season and Go Devils!

Congrats to both teams on a well played game that could have gone either way. Props to our D for stopping them in the red. WoodsCross played a great game and should be proud of their year. I don't care what anyone says, teams that made it this far into the playoffs have worked hard and deserve it.

That first comment is very classy from someone whose team lost. Nice to see something like this on the reader board for a change.

Thanks for the comments Cat Fan. Our boys will do you proud. Your defense was lightin' it up yesterday. Could have gone either way. Tell 42 he is a heck of a player. Come join us at Rice/Eccles as we push our way to the championship.

What a great season for Woods Cross player and coaches. We talked big about beating Springville and so we should congratulate them and hope that they beat Dixie next week.
WX SENIORS ARE THE BEST and will do great things in other sports!!!!

Go Cats!!

thanks boys for a great season and letting me be your teammate! one of the many things I am so proud of is how many of your opponents came to respect they way you played the game. win or lose you did it with all heart and all class. Seniors, I love you guys like my own son! You are going to be great men!
Springville, I loved the look in the eye and hand shake after the game, you too had class, and you beat a GREAT WX team. good luck!

I owe Dixie players and the fans a great apology. I was way out of line to suggest there was "home cookin" on the part of the refs. If anything they may have taken a state contender out of the mix by calling a shove a punch and illimnating their star QB.

I am sorry, I am an idiot who pops off way to often about things I know nothing about. A true loser at heart. Please forgive me.

maybe JD should be moved up to 4a, if Springville can make it to the finals. Hope you Red Devils go all the way. That would say a lot about our programs.
