San Juan Fan | 9:18 p.m. Nov. 11, 2009
Man i cant wait till saturday.. This is going to be a great game.. I hope both
teams show up to play and can battle it out till the clock stops.. Good luck to
both teams this weekend.. i predict San juan will come out on top..
SS #1 | 9:39 p.m. Nov. 11, 2009
We are going to get San Juan this time around. We are far more prepared and I
think this game will not be close. South Summit is the better team as far as the
stats and books go. I like our chances. The weather is going to affect San Juan
far more than it will South Summit. We run the ball better than San Juan. They
rely on their pass too much. Like I said after we loss in Blanding, on a neutral
field I pick South Summit. Go wildcats!!

This could be a dandy. Can't wait.

I agree with | 10:14 p.m. Nov. 11, 2009
San Juan fan, on the fact that this will be a great game. However, these
Wildcats haven't been fed, and they are hungry for the title. Both teams
will have to play their best and the title of this article says it all. Get
ready for a great game. GO CATS!!!
RE:SS#1 | 10:28 p.m. Nov. 11, 2009
Your stats are better than San Juans..I think I would rather have the win in the
head to head lol. I also know Coach Lee pulls his starters far earlier than most
coaches when the game is in hand (Im glad he does BTW) this helps with SJ
continued winning year after year. Now Ive only seen SS play once but Ive heard
that in your blowout your starter are left in most of the game (dint you guys
score with starters on the last play in the 1st Grand game?) this builds your
stats. You can have your stats, SJ will be happy with the championship.
Anonymous | 10:49 p.m. Nov. 11, 2009
why does everyone think that the weather will effect SJ so badly and SS will
just roll right through it like its nothing.. if weathers a factor i think it
will effect both teams and not just SJ. and SJ doesnt rely just on passing..
where'd that come from? good luck to both teams!
Anonymous | 11:12 p.m. Nov. 11, 2009
Rely on passing? Re: SS#1,how you ever seen us play? one kid last game we played
you had 176 yards...
hahaha... | 4:35 a.m. Nov. 12, 2009
wildcats run the ball better then San Juan.. thats the hardest iv laughed in a
long time.. Holliday alone had over 170 yards rushing the last time we played
you..
DennyG | 6:41 a.m. Nov. 12, 2009
Another fun championship.
Will San Juan pull out the half back pass?
Will they execute the fumbleruskie again?
Each time they've beaten SS in the championship game this past decade it was a trick play up their sleeve. But it worked, and they won.
This should be an excellent game.
It's the Cats turn. Good Luck SS.

wait for the game | 7:02 a.m. Nov. 12, 2009
All of you who think one team is better than the other and are talking
smack...leave it alone. Both of these teams are very good! Both teams want to
win. Both coaches understand turnovers will be the key. Previous opponents,
previous scores, etc...all don't matter on Saturday. The team that plays
the most consistent will win. Hopefully, both sides will be show good
sportsmanship and it will be a hard fought, tough battle. Good luck to both
teams, but better luck to the cats! GO CATS!
SJ Fan | 7:55 a.m. Nov. 12, 2009
It is going to be an awesome game. It is hard to beat one team twice in one
season and SJ has their work cut out. It will be a stormy game up there and
whoever plays the best defense will win this game. I am a SJ fan but I am 51%
SS 49% SJ. I would like to see SJ take it, but SS will come to play. Go
teams!!!
Howie | 8:23 a.m. Nov. 12, 2009
One of the keys factors of this game will be the travel that San Juan has to do
to get to Alta High School. People overlook that aspect of the game. South
Summit struggled at San Juan even though the score didn't reflect it but
one has to like the Wildcats chances in a rematch.
sjhsports | 8:31 a.m. Nov. 12, 2009
I hope both teams play hard. I know SJ has hit the weights in the offseason and
practiced hard all year to get ready for this game. The time is yours, go out
and play hard. D.Y.J.
re DennyG | 8:48 a.m. Nov. 12, 2009
You are half right. In 1998 we scored two touchdowns no trick plays. In the 2000
championship our scores were on a two yard touchdown run and a 20 yard touchdown
pass and we had two field goals making our score 20. We did have a play where we
gave it to our reciever and then he ended up throwing it to our qb. That did go
for about 30 yards. We didnt score any touchdowns on trick plays in that game. I
bet that are some trick plays this weekend though.
Bronco Fan | 8:56 a.m. Nov. 12, 2009
Go Broncos! You guys have worked your tails off for this chance, now realize
the dream! Ditto on sjhsports "D.Y.J."
re Howie | 8:57 a.m. Nov. 12, 2009
If anyone knows how to travel and play good its San Juan. I promise you travel
will not be an issue. If South Summit is thinking that will help them then you
guys are in for a scare. Plus they will come up friday morning. They will have a
practice friday afternoon. They will be fresh and ready to go come saturday 11
am.
Captain | 9:31 a.m. Nov. 12, 2009
San Juan does not rely on the pass. If anything they rely on the run. San Juan
has a group of very good running backs, and a running offense. San Juan will win
this game. Oh yeah, a neutral field? How far is Kamas from Alta High School? Not
far.
SJ fan | 10:12 a.m. Nov. 12, 2009
well the last time we played you it was a 21 to 7 game going into the fourth
quarter but two rare fumbles by san juan and a big pass play that won't
happen again allowed SS to score a touchdown and a field goal so i like SJ again
by a touchdown
RE:CAPTAIN | 10:39 a.m. Nov. 12, 2009
I think it's 31.7 miles from Kamas and 317 miles from Blanding. About the
same. LOL LOL.
RE: Captain | 11:50 a.m. Nov. 12, 2009
Just hang on the travel issue all you want. If thats the only thing you can find
hope that you might eek out a win with then go with it. As for SJ they do this
all the time including the two times they beat you in the championship (Im
assuming they played up north)We know where we live and still we have won every
away game this year. SJ wins this by 14
go broncos! | 12:10 p.m. Nov. 12, 2009
seniors enjoy , make every play your greatest and it will carry over to the
other players! i predict a san juan blow out! as they have just started to jell!
releash the horses!!
ss mom | 12:30 p.m. Nov. 12, 2009
both teams have worked very hard to get to this point. nothing has been handed
to either side, it's all been earned. i'm looking forward to a great
game on saturday hopefully there will be good sportsmanship on both sides...on
the field and in the stands. we are all proud of our boys for everything they
have accomplished. GO CATS!!!!!!!
Rich Rebel | 1:00 p.m. Nov. 12, 2009
Go get em South Summit, we are pullin for ya!
hey | 1:21 p.m. Nov. 12, 2009
THIS. IS. KAMAAAAAAAAAAAAAS. :)
Me, Myself and I | 1:44 p.m. Nov. 12, 2009
Fans of both South Summit and San Juan who can't make the game, you can
listen live at sanjuansports . com. You can't post web addresses in the
blog so remember to remove the spaces between sports . and com. Hope this gets
through to the blog and all those who are going to miss a great game can still
listen to it.
Correction | 3:28 p.m. Nov. 12, 2009
The site is sjhsports com for those that would like to listen to the game.
kamas | 3:37 p.m. Nov. 12, 2009
wheres that , well broncos go round up the steers and cheers!
SJ | 3:39 p.m. Nov. 12, 2009
After watching Grand pretty much handle SS till the 4th quarter over at SUU i
think ill keep my odds with San Juan who played a much greater team with a blow
out ending..... Everyone talking stats or whatever get real you know San Juan is
the better team, everyone knows that even Perry's power guide ha. And for
those saying its harder to beat the team the 2nd time your just looking for
little things to make your team feel better!! i would be nervous if i was
SS...... San Juan is still the REAL DEAL! ya dig
RE: SJ | 4:25 p.m. Nov. 12, 2009
South Summit isnt nervous, niether is San Juan. What they are , is anxious.
Anxious to go out and crack some helmets. It is to bad that the game is not
played at the University, but who cares. It is almost game time and Football is
in the air. I'm lookin for a battle from the East. Good luck to both teams.
I want to see a hard fought, injury free game
GO CATS
I believe in you

SS | 4:26 p.m. Nov. 12, 2009
South Summit wins this one easily. After losing the first game in Blanding they
have the Broncos figured out. The Kamas boys are ready to play this weekend and
SJ will be luck to get 100 yards of offense. SS will roll up 500 yds of offense
on the weak SJ defense and win by a landslide.
SS 48
SJ 6
SS will avenge the 1998 and 2000 championships lost to SJ!

Fan | 4:45 p.m. Nov. 12, 2009
This could very well be the best game of the week. These two teams are like
mirror images of each other. They both play great defense. They both run the
ball extremely well and mix in just enough passing to keep the defense honest.
I think this one comes down to execution, turnovers and penalties. Hold onto
the ball and keep the yellow flags in the refs pocket and you will win. Lets
hope for a hard fought injury free game and may the best team win!
RE: SS | 5:05 p.m. Nov. 12, 2009
Seriously you think SS has SJ figured out? San Juan hasn't changed their
play book in 25 years and yet they still manage to rock 2A year in and year
out... Kinda like the good ole reverse on kick returns... been doing that since
the dawn of time and still nets us a handful of TDs every season! Good luck to
both teams and I wont make a prediction but I think SS is hoping to talk big in
hopes of changing the game saturday. Wishful thinking never did win a football
game my friend.
SS | 5:58 p.m. Nov. 12, 2009
Yes we have SJ figured out and will stomp them on Saturday. We know they will
try some trick play but our defense is way to good to be fooled. We will be
waiting and destroy SJ. Like I said before it will be a blowout. SS 48 SJ 6.
Holliday won't even get past the line of scrimage agianst us our defense
will own SJ.
Captain | 7:00 p.m. Nov. 12, 2009
To RE: Captain @ 11:50. I dont know what your talking about. I was saying that
SS has basically home field. I want San Juan to win. Im definatly not from
Kamas.
nate | 7:01 p.m. Nov. 12, 2009
48-6? Really?? Can you give me some of whatever your smoking.
Samak Talk | 7:18 p.m. Nov. 12, 2009
Our boys won't be denied this time. South Summit will win 27-7. We have
made the adjustments it takes to make a champion.
RE: SS | 7:20 p.m. Nov. 12, 2009
Please, no more JD or his impersonators. South Summit will be ready,as will San
Juan. We expect a great game. Nothing less. Two great teams will battle. Let
both teams continue to represent 2-A football with class. And when the final
whistle blows : meet in the middle of the field to shake hands.
GO SOUTH SUMMIT

GO SOUTH SUMMIT

K>A>C GOOD LUCK TO BOTH TEAMS!!
BraggIN Rights! | 7:56 p.m. Nov. 12, 2009
South Summitt... wanna know the best part about beatin you guys in 98, 00 and
workin you over earlier this year?? The fact that we HAVE a right to talk
because we've proved ourselves! until you actually beat us you have no
right or room to talk! You haven't earned or proved a THING TO SJ!
It'll be a good game for a half until the broncos blow the cats outta the
game for good 35-14 broncos on top baby!!!!
re: smak talk | 8:10 p.m. Nov. 12, 2009
ha ha thats what they thought in 2000, and probably earlier this year. you will
be DENIED! ha ha
trucked by san juan | 4:29 a.m. Nov. 13, 2009
broncos are the real deal in 2a this year just ask the other ss team who just
got the life sucked out of them. lets go broncos hit hard and let the good times
roll.
Anonymous | 5:52 a.m. Nov. 13, 2009

requirements.

Thank you! Good sportsmanship starts with the parents/fans. This should be one
of the best championship games in the state. Can't wait until tomorrow!
Re: SS | 10:20 a.m. Nov. 13, 2009
haha you guys almost lost to grand... remember that
Weak Schedule | 1:37 p.m. Nov. 13, 2009
I was just looking at your guy's schedule and it made me laugh, altamont,
duchesne(?), parawon, ha ha the only good team you played you lost too. Broncos
#1!
To: haha | 1:54 p.m. Nov. 13, 2009
a 21 point spread, an 11 point spread and that's almost losing? So SJ 21
and SS 17 - that's only 4 points - who needs to remember what?
keep your sportsmanship | 2:36 p.m. Nov. 13, 2009
just win broncos!maul, maime , whatever!
Hmm... | 4:04 p.m. Nov. 13, 2009
after thinking ALL San Juan's fans were class acts, this blog has proven
differently. While most of SJ's fans are great, Just like every other
school, you have some real D-bag fans as well.
