Looking to rebound from last week’s loss to the #1 ranked 4A team in Ridgeline, the Park City Miners travelled to Morgan to take on the Trojans, the #1 ranked 3A team. Despite four missed extra points by Morgan, the Trojans held on for a 24-21 victory.
It was a defensive struggle early, with Park City leading 7-6 at halftime. The Trojans responded with two long scoring drives in the second half, but the Miners answered quickly each time—first on an 80-yard touchdown run by Eli Warner, then on an 80-yard strike from Nikolas Morgan to Brogan Price. In the end, Morgan’s ball control wore down the Miners’ defense, setting up a decisive fourth-quarter touchdown.
