Remaining 5A teams have been best of decade

It'll be interesting to see how it all shakes down at Rice-Eccles this year. Whatever happens, we'll all be assured of seeing some great football. Thanks for another great article.

I think placing these four teams as the best of the DECADE is lacking perspective and looking primarily at just the past few years. Nobody argues Bingham and Alta of late, but to go back to 2000 none of these 4 was considered a powerhouse then or for several years after. Back then Skyline was a dynasty. Northridge was the team that ended that dynasty and brought Skyline back to earth. Brighton was probably the next most consistently dominant team. They always seemed to choke when it came to winning the big one, but through 2005 can anyone remember Brighton not being in the top 5 and making it to the semis nearly every year? Davis was awful the first half of this decade, Bingham was consistently mediocre, and Alta was up and down. Hunter was consistently good, albeit nothing special except for '03. All four are good but looking at the decade try to consider the full ten years evenly.

Who cares about the decade. We just care about Friday at 2:30pm when Bingham shuts up ALTA

Brighton? Try winning a championship to even be considered.

How about this years Pleasant Grove team, they should be the team of the decade with all those D1 players!

Which one of these is not like the others.
Skyline- Champions 2005
Northridge- Champions 2000, 2001,2002
Davis- Champions 2004
Hunter-Champions 2003
Alta-Champions 2007,2008
Bingham-Champions 2006
Brighton-Not

Come on Mr.Perspective, where did the Brighton bomb come from?

Listen yall, ima let you finish, but De La Salle High School has the best high school football team of all time!

How exactly do you shut up a whole football team? I think it'd be impossible to physically close everyone of their mouths. Nice try though. Oh, and Alta will win.

Bingham and Alta are a coin toss for the most talented teams in the state

Hey yall ima let you finish, but the Remember the Titans football team was one of the greatest high school football teams of ALL TIME!

Is clearly the best team of the decade.

I was actually thinking about this a couple days ago, and aside from northridge and skyline, these are the top 4 programs! so to avoid contraversy if you made a top 6 of the decade it would have been a lot easier!

Even De La Salle has been beat.

is going to lose. sorry guys, but bingham is much bigger stronger faster.

Great story. It will be fun to see the results on Friday night.

Viewmont's comment.

I really think it was a genuinely person trying to make me laugh and it did.

Props to you.

hoping Alta would pull this one out... Go region 4! And also, remember my word, Brighton will be up in the next five years. Keep those words in mind, people.

The best team ever in Utah was the Orem Tigers in 1987...Tyler Anderson, Bryan Rowley, Chad Lewis, Ed Chatterly....and more rolled up every team and beat Skyline for the State Championship.

Left off~ This years Pleasant Grove team may have all those D1 kids but I believe last years Detroit Lions team had all those NFL players. You have to win to be considered top anything.

alta is the team.. gonna be a battle out there this Friday but im afraid alta will pull it off. love the men in blue but if alta is anything like they were last year they are all to clutch and preform big on the carpet
