“There’s nothing like it,” Hall said. “I’ve grown up here watching Mountain Crest football, and that’s what it’s been — we always expect to get here. And you can’t really plan for those emotions.”
The Mustangs may have expected to reach the championship every year, but Mountain Crest’s 17-7 win over Stansbury at Rice-Eccles Stadium on Thursday earned the Mustangs their first berth to the state final since 2012. Mountain Crest will take on the winner of Sky View vs. Orem in the Class 4A title game next week.
“These kids have battled and they have fought for the last two years,” Mountain Crest coach Jason Lee said.
