Region 4

Well I guess Region 4/SEC turned into the MWC today when it came to the big games with only one team advancing and that team should/will be eliminated next week and make a Region 4less championship game. Sorry Alta but I think your run is over! Good luck next year. (not a miner fan but GO MINERS)

c -wood

Need to get better players from around the valley to compete with alta. Try alta's little league. they have plenty of talent to spare.

Alta

Great game. Alta you boys are awesome. We love you! Go Hawks!

To Alta from Bingham Fan

Game on, Alta.

You've worked hard and long. So have we. The next game, will be the most difficult game of the season, for both of us.

Bring your best game, your best prepration, your best play calling, your best cheerleading, your best drill team, your best attitude. Because we will bring ours.

Two giants, respect each other. In truth, you guys scare me. But our team is not afraid to play you. You are not afraid to play us.

The fans will be the winneres of this game. I have said it before: everytime you play us, it looks like a well-coached and well-played college game.

Play your very best game, and we will play ours, so that no matter what happens, both teams can hold their heads high and have no regrets when they shake hands at the end.

No regrets, Alta.

Game on.

Cottonwood

re: c-wood

They have tried and succeeded with Alta little league.
They had Alta little league coaches recruiting for Cottonwood.

I think it has all been flushed out by now.

Thanks for getting it started Bingham Fan. That is so true: "2 giants, respect each other." Bingham is a solid program. The better of the 2 teams has been crowned State Champ the last 3 (soon to be 4) years.

It is too bad that this match-up won't take place where it belongs, in the State Championship Game.

May the best team win........Go Hawks!

back to back alta fan..

cottonwood you guys need to go back to 4A you guys didnt even throw i fight for us...

Championship Game Friday

Championship game again this week between Alta and Bingham. Utah high school needs to get it right. Alta / Bingham games needs to be the final each year, not the semi every other year. Why do they keep doing this? Two best teams in the state hands down and they play each other in the semis? Why? Congratulations to both teams making it again and again and again and again. Biggest game in Utah next to the Utah vs BYU game. Hold on for the ride, it should be another thriller. Winner of this game will win state.

Cottonwood

Cottonwood tries to recruit from the Ute conference with their previous Alta little league coaches. Cottonwood, welcome to 5A.

Bingham Fan

Alta, I guess it’s us again. Unbelievable!!!

black and blue

Bingham: Good news you made it to the semis, bad news you have to play Alta!

Alta: Good news you made it to the semis, bad news you have to play Bingham!

It is going to be a great game....Go luck to both!

Joran Brown

Love the kid...always have.

Bingham fan

Alta you are done. We have already played the best QB in the state in Hart and won thanks to Jordan's weak defense. Your running game is week and you will not be able to pass on us enough to win. Bingham will win again because you can't stop our running game.
Miners will roll to the finals!

re Bingham fan

News to you........You can't stop our passing game! If we jump on you early, I don't see a repeat meltdown like the one that happened at Bingham in August. Alta was blowing you off the field and lulled themselves to sleep at halftime. I know that both teams are better now. Your running game is good, but our passing game is GREAT! You couldn't stop us the 1st game. Even when Alta spotted you 21 points in the 3rd quarter, you still could not stop the passing game of Alta. Our defense is also better now, and although Langi will get his numbers, so also will Jordan Brown. He passed for over 400 yards last night. Alta also has the three best receivers in the state. All I'm saying, is don't count out Alta just yet! This will be a hard fought game, and whoever wins will win the state championship next week! Davis nor Hunter has a chance to knock off the powers from the south!

beetdigger fan

Bingham, I don't think any of your fans have it right. You give 42 points to Jordan and think you can play Alta? If you have any weaknesses, the beetdiggers exposed it in a losing effort. You will play not only a potent offense, but a great defense in Alta. Don't expect much movement against the hawks unless assignments are blown. I give it a Alta win 38-17.

Don't count Bingham out

Yeah and you can't stop Bingham's GREAT running game, Bingham has the best O-Line in the state, and the #1 D BABY!!!! And in case you haven't noticed Bingham has a pretty good QB too, Hannay has made tons of plays with his feet, so before you go singing "We are the champions" just yet, you need to get past the MIINERS!!!! GO BINGHAM!!!!!! And if Alta is soooooooo unstoppable in their passing game, then why did they choke away that 21 point spot? CUZ BINGHAM CRUSHED THEM IN THE SECOND HALF, YOU BETTER BE READY!!

Re Beetdigger fan

Didnt Bingham already beat Alta this year?

Alta Fan

Well Bingham, i guess niether one of us get to play PG in the playoffs....it would have been nice for one of us to knock off the BEST TEAM EVER!!! Anyway, i think this wee is the week we have all been waiting for all year, Black & Blue at RES!! This is one of the best and classy rivalries in high school sports that i can remember. Langi is about the best back Utah has had for quit awhile, and we all have to deal with him for another year. Alta's offense is running on all cylinders, And both defenses are as stingy as ever. Good Luck to both sides.

Davis/Hunter

Keep running your mouths about this week being the state championship. One of us will see one of u next week and one of u will lose. Just like all the region 4 talk was over rated likewise Bingham is over rated. We have seen u both lose this year and both of u will lose once more this year.
Sincerly,
Davis and Hunter
