BOUNTIFUL, Utah. — For a final Friday, the Miners played football. The score was 20 – 38 which brought a close to their season after winning the first two playoff games.

At halftime, the away game was Park City 6, Bountiful 17. Third quarter ended Bountiful ahead 24 to 6. A rushing TD in the fourth brought the Miners a little closer but a passing play by Bountiful sent their score up there so far that even one final touchdown catch by the Miners couldn’t get them where they needed to be to continue in the Playoffs.

Overall, the Miners ended the season 5 and 6 with a 0.46 Win % and within league play, they ended up 4 – 2 which was 3rd in the 5A Region 6.

Bountiful will next play Orem, Stansbury will next play East, Timpview will next play Lehi, and Timpanogas will next play Springville all on Friday, November 5 on the road to the High School Utah Championships.

As Miner Nation well knows, the State Championships are played by the varsity boys’ bracket winners at the Rice-Eccles Stadium on the campus of the University of Utah., this year’s big game is scheduled for November 19.
