The Park City Miners weathered windy, rainy conditions as they pulled away for a 30-2 victory over the Timpanogos Timberwolves. Eli Warner had an 80-yard touchdown reception in the first quarter to put the Miners on the scoreboard. Second quarter interceptions by Parker Jones – who had two on the night – and Niko Morgan set up a pair of Tanner Pidwell field goals. Pidwell added another before halftime for a 16-0 lead.
Warner opened the second half with a 67-yard punt return touchdown. Josh Hofer added another in the fourth to seal the victory. The only blemish was a third quarter safety for Timpanogos.
