Ephraim • Spend any amount of time in Sanpete County, and you will learn that the rural communities in central Utah treasure the now defunct Mormon Miracle Pageant in Manti, lieutenant governor Spencer Cox of Fairview, Wasatch Academy’s nationally prominent high school basketball program in Mount Pleasant, and Snow College football in Ephraim.
The latter, folks along US-89 will quickly and proudly point out, isn’t going the way of the pageant seven miles down the road.
“Snow College football is far too important to this community and this school to let die,” says Snow athletic director Robert Nielson, who also doubles as the school’s head men’s basketball coach.
