The Colts converted a fumble into a touchdown early in the third quarter to make the score 21-7, but the game never got any closer. Park City immediately answered with a 97-yard touchdown drive. The defense then took over as Cottonwood never mounted a serious threat afterwards. Park City scored two more times, including a 55-yard fumble recovery by Brian Walsh for the final score.
