This week was the second week of high school football playoffs. Teams in Summit and Wasatch Counties were getting either their first or second dose of playoff action.
The Park City Miners were on the road playing the #1 team in 5A the Lehi Pioneers. They are also the reigning state champions.
The Miners got a sack on Lehi’s first possession but after that, they couldn’t get anything going. Lehi got 3 first-half touchdowns and the Miners were down 24-0 at halftime.
In the second half, it got worse as Lehi got two more touchdowns in the third quarter. The Miners did get points on the board as they were able to find the endzone once late in the game. They got a touchdown as the clock expired.
The Miners fell to Lehi 40-6. The Miners finish the season with an 8-3 record.

The undefeated South Summit Wildcats were at home taking on the Delta Rabbits. South Summit has a strong lead 21-7 at halftime. They even had a 30-12 lead with about 2 minutes to go in the game. However, Delta made it exciting by scoring twice, but that was not enough.
