The Stansbury Stallions forced two late-game turnovers to preserve a 14-10 win over the Park City Miners in Region 10 play. It was the Miners’ first loss of the season.
After Park City opened the game with a long touchdown drive, a defensive struggle ensued. Stansbury dominated possession but could only find the endzone once in the first half. The Miners held strong with two interceptions deep in their own territory and the teams entered halftime tied 7-7.
Park City capitalized on their third interception of the game with a Tanner Pidwell field goal to take a 10-7 lead into the fourth quarter. The Stallions then answered with a touchdown drive, making the score 14-10. With time running out, the Miners drove the ball deep into Stallions territory twice. Both drives ended in goal line interceptions. The second occurred with just seconds remaining in the game.
