For Taylorsville coach Doug Bills the two loses brought the season to a sudden halt just as it appeared the Warriors were on the verge of gaining a state berth. Its over, Bills reflected. Yesterdays game was better than the first against Bingham. The kids didnt quit. But, Bingham is getting better. They may be the best weve played. Theyre hungry." The Miners were led by the performance of Ken Peck, who set up two Bingham touchdowns with interceptions, scored one touchdown and kicked four extra points.
