Murray • On the surface, they’re not unlike other high school football games. Players execute pass and run plays. They kick extra points after touchdowns. They’re constantly told by referees to keep the required distance from the sideline.
But Tuesday’s games were unlike any other in this respect: They only lasted one half, and were that short in order to settle a three-way tie for fourth place to determine which of Murray, West and Skyline high schools would advance to the Utah High School Activities Association Class 5A State Football Championships.
Murray, West and Skyline each finished with a 1-4 record in their region.
