5A high school football: Bingham digs deep into playbook to get past Alta
108 comments | Read story
Alta was weak today. Their running game was horrible! How many times are you going to run that draw?
Then all of those dropped passes.
Child please!
Hunter/Bingham will be a better game.
Just a thought.
Player of the game had to be Bingham's qb, what a stud and great play calling and patience in getting that extra blocker on the Alta lb's. That was the difference in the game I thought. Good luck Bingham, go finish this off.
No doubt, some one will feel compelled to comment that they were just so good they beat each other up before playoffs. In retrospect, that would be an interesting contrast to many of the posts that claimed Alta's tough region games down the stretch had made them better prepared than Bingham for this game.
Now Bingham is 4-0 against region 4 including two wins over Alta. Maybe Bingham could lay claim to being Region 4 champs. Nah!
If Bingham isn't prepared and bring their game next week, Davis is very capable of upsetting them. That being said, Davis's running game kind of plays into Bingham's strengths.
This time of year everyone is nicked up a bit, sometimes a lot. Some programs are lucky not to have their critical players injured and some have a little more depth so they can handle it better. In 5A there were lots of outstanding teams this year. It takes a little luck with the injury bug and perhaps a few lucky bounces of the ball as well as a lot of hard work to be the state champ.
I was sad to read from the "poor sport" Alta fans who commented at the top of this board. Why they have to spout off like 6 year olds, I don't know.
I think I will be a Bingham fan after hearing their comments. Wouldn't want that kind of negativity to rub off on me or other fans from out of state. Thanks for helping me with my decision.
I think the best team did win but I really think Alta's play calling hurt their game today. Alta played the fourth qt. like they had the lead. No sense of urgency, running when u haven't had success all night with it, and having two unused timeouts left? Even going for two after the last score was a bad move!
Not the best night for Hamilton. I expected better.
One more game Bingham! U haven't got the trophy yet so prepare hard next week! This has been a great season to watch!
We played the last 2 games w/o our leading tackler and sack leader. We lost a star RB the week before the season. (Real Alta fans know this, and sorry he is not transferring this year either). Our 300 lb tackle was hurt before the TX game and missed several games after. Our team captain MLB out several games. Starting Corner broke his leg in two spots in the 7 on 7s. Anderson missed a few including Riverton. Another starting LB was lost for the season in the CW game, another LB hurt for most of the season just got back for the playoffs. Several WR missed time. I am sure there are several I am missing.
Bingham is very deeo and instead of running up the score, they played reserves and the backups were prepared when needed. Scoreboard. Region 4 champs and soon to be State Champs.
-From your Bingham Ute conference teammates.
Yet, winning isn't everything! Throughout life there will always be winners and loser, and because of that fact coaches, parents, and players need to find something greater than just winning to play for!
Coaches, please reflect on your attitudes toward those people you have an influence on. Players build loyalty and camaraderie with your teammates and coaches, and finally parents please support the coaches and your players with constant love and compassion.
These things sound easy, and yet so many people struggle with them.
All that smack talk all season and you lay that egg Alta?
What a joke!
Everyone is laughing at you!
I hope either Hunter or Davis kills Bingham... they do not deserve the trophy. No... I actually want it to be a close game so that the miners can actually taste the trophy.. and then choke like they did last year and not get their win.. man that would be awesome!!."
What a bitter, spiteful little thing you are. The timing of your hateful little rant makes me think you’re an Alta fan. No matter the score, Alta played with intensity, strength and a dignity someone like you will never know. They’ll reload and come back hard next season. To use a phrase so popular this year, mark my words.
Bingham has played well against the best Utah has and won every time. If anyone wants to mention the Trinity game, I'll reiterate. Bingham has beaten every team FROM UTAH that they've played. Bingham has earned the right to play for the title.
Davis has also done well, winning their region championship and beating a good Hunter team by a wide margin yesterday. They, too, have earned the right to play for the title next week.
Depth and planning for those changes is part of the game. Sometimes you have to do it during the game and others during the week.
Talent, skill, and then depth of that talent is what is primary key to all sports, but especially in high school. After that, it is coaching, preparation, adjustments, and execution. That part is where the region 4 powerhouses missed their spots this year. Sorry, but quite obvious if their touted talent was so beyond their opponents. It's Region 1 & 3, the two so-called weakest regions, who put their top teams in the game, by beating threee of the four region 4 teams. You have to beat the best to be the best.
Brighton beat Alta soundly with Hemuli playing, PG beat Brighton without Heimuli, Lone Peak beat Brighton with Heimuli. PG lost to Lone Peak and Alta without Lloyd, Tagoa'i and Sampson. Also fogotton was that PG lost 2 linemen during the first part of the season and started a Sophomores there. Lone Peak lost to Hunter without their top receiver and lost ther QB in the game. Alta lost their best play maker period and only lost to Bingham by a combined 13 points in 2 games. Brighton could have given any and all teams a run for their money if only Heimuli played in the loss to PG and West Jordan.
