PROVO, Utah — The Park City High School Miners varsity football team ended their playoff run Friday night, eliminated in the second round of the 4A Utah State Championships by the Spanish Fork Dons, 30-24.

Watch this Highlight Reel of the Miners season up until this last game.

 

The game against Spanish Fork featured thrilling moments, with the Miners seizing a second-quarter lead when junior Eli Warner returned a kickoff 95 yards, bringing the score to 14-10. 

Tied at 17 in the third quarter, senior quarterback Bash Bodily connected with senior wide receiver Reece Smith for an 89-yard touchdown, putting the Miners up once more. However, with seven minutes remaining in the fourth quarter, Spanish Fork tied the score at 24 after a 61-yard run on a fourth-down play.

“This season has been awesome,” Bodily told TownLift after Friday’s game, taking it all in stride. “I love my teammates and coaches. It was extremely disappointing to not get the win on Friday. We wanted to win the championship. It just didn’t work out.”
 
Looking ahead, Bodily plans to compete in track this spring before heading to play Division I football after graduation. This is the time of the year when college applications are occurring, so it’s befitting that Bodily has four offers thus far and is also talking to several other schools.
