:00 Fourth Quarter
Hurricane 24, Park City 19
Highlights from this game should be posted sometime between 2:30 and 3:00. Just a few notes to wrap up this game. I think Park City may look back at this game and wonder what would have happened in this game had they attempted field goals on their trips to the red zone that came up empty in the 2nd half. Ultimately, you have to give the Hurricane defense a lot of credit for stopping a team with a running back who averages 13 yards a carry. The Tigers were able to overcome 5 fumbles, 3 of them lost, to reach a 2nd straight 3A championship game. They will get their chance for revenge, something the players talked about after the game.
Also, who would have thought that Jarom Healy would outgain Dylan Chynoweth. It happened. Chynoweth finished with 137 yards and 1 TD and averaged 5.7 yards a carry. Healy rushed for 147 yards and 2 TD's while averaging 5.8 per carry.

Welcome to Day two of our coverage of the 3A Semifinals. Juan Diego is back in the state championship to defend their title and today we find out who their challenger will be. I love this matchup. These two evenly matched teams who run the wing T offense to perfection. Park City averages 47 points a game while Hurricane averages 36. Defensively both teams are tough as nails. Both teams play gritty smashmouth football. I think this is going to be our first nailbiter of the semifinals. We'll see if that turns out to be the case.
