It was the first home victory for the Devils in nearly four victory over years (since a Altamont at homecoming on Sept. 22, 2000), and their first defensive, shutout in over five years. It was a great win for the program, said GCHS head coach Dennis Wells afterward. Our defense was terrific, and our offense was able to put a lot of points on the board. Price, Utah During the presentation of awards at the states rural summit in Cedar City on Aug. 12, Price received 31-3- 0 official designation as a Utah 21st Community. Presented to council members by Gov. Olene Walker, the award for excellence identifies Price as a well planned, progressive local community positioned to grow economically. According to Price community director Nick Tatton, the city completed operational and community assessments and planning in more than one dozen categories. A new general plan for Price was also created, along with the update of the citys land use development code. What it means to our community is that we are a better community than we were and that we made the commitment to improve ourselves, stated Tatton.

Merrill Carter and Buddy Phillipsen, two residents of the county, attended commission meeting to ask commissioners why county residents were still paying taxes for the Central Utah Water Project if no one in the county was to benefit. He said individual tax payers were also paying a tax for the Juab Water Conservancy District, as well as CUP. On his particular tax bill, for example, said Carter, he was being charged $134 this year. Meanwhile, he had been reading in the newspapers that the county was not going to get any water from the project. When I had a business, said Carter, if I was not going to get something, I quit paying for it. completions for 24 yards. Meantime, Grand scored almost at will, racking up five touchdowns in the first half alone. Junior quarterback Tony Dalton completed passes for 95 yards and two touchdowns, and sophomore tailback Tanner Brown rushed for 126 yards and two touchdowns, despite having three long runs being called back because of penalties. Grand was penalized 10 times for 120 yards, while the Longhorns committed only two penalties for the game. Thats something were going to have to work on, noted Wells. If were up against a good team, penalties like that can really hurt. You cant afford to have three touchdowns called back. Still, Wells noted that the Devils committed zero turnovers and did a really good job of taking care of the football on offense. Altamont punted on its first possession of the game. On Grands second play, Brown took a pitch from quarterback Dalton and ran it 47 yards up the right sideline for a touchdown.
