The Park City Miners traveled to St. George on Friday night to take on the Dixie Flyers. The Miners dominated both sides of the ball as they came away with a 42-0 win.
Dixie could not contain the Miners’ rushing attack as Park City scored on four of its first five possessions. Eli Warner started with an 8-yard first quarter touchdown run. Ethan Cunningham added two more in the first quarter, and Sebastian Bodily broke a 64-yard touchdown to start the second.
Meanwhile, the Park City defense stifled any attempts by Dixie to make first downs, much less put together a drive. The Flyers’ offense only threatened one time late in the second quarter before turning the ball over on downs deep in Park City territory. The Miners took a 28-0 lead into the half.
Eli Warner opened the second half for the Miners with a 70-yard touchdown run as the rout was on. The teams traded punts as backups got an opportunity for extended playing time. A fourth quarter interception for touchdown by Harper Brent provided the final 42-0 margin.
