Salt Lake Tribune Article > This is it. It's the kind of game players dream of playing in and the kind fans don't want to miss. Thousands of football fans will be on hand in South Jordan tonight to watch Alta and Bingham square off. With good reason. Combined, the two programs have won the last three state championships. Their Class 5A semifinal game in 2007 drew about 20,000 fans to Rice-Eccles Stadium. There may be other rivalry games, but in 2009, nothing rivals Alta/Bingham. "It's not just another game," Bingham coach Dave Peck said. "It's a no-nonsense game. We have respect for each other and the kids know its going to be a tough battle. You've got two quality teams with Division I kids trying to play the best game of their life."

Key Bingham offensive player, according to Peck:
QB Ty Hannay: "I know he was a little (too) pumped up against Viewmont and the ball was sailing on him a little bit. But I really expect him to have a big game, and if he does have a big game, I like our chances."
