Show Wed/Thurs/Fri, October 30-November 1, 2019 B-3 The Park Record PARK RECORD FILE PHOTO Park City senior linebacker Chase Johansen, right, and junior safety Kirby Baynes, left, look to tackle West High School’s Bird Butler during the Miners’ 33-16 victory on Aug. 30. Johansen and Baynes have been essential to the success of the Park City defense this season, helping lead the Miners into the 4A state playoffs as the No. 1 seed. Continued from B-2 State playoffs playing.” Due to their seeding, the Miners received a first-round bye to await the winner of No. 16 Logan and No. 17 Ogden. Logan defeated Ogden 62-27 last Friday, setting up Park City’s second-round showdown with the Grizzlies. “We are hoping the playoff atmosphere is the same as it’s been all season long because the amount of community support we’ve received has been awesome,” Montzingo said. “We hope that place (Dozier Field) is packed and gives us the hometown advantage and push needed to win.” Sizing up the Grizzlies Logan entered postseason play losing five of its previous six games, but changed fortunes with a 35-point victory over Ogden in the first round. The game was never close as Logan jumped out to a 28-0 lead after the first quarter and 48-7 advantage at the half on the strength of a three-headed offensive monster: senior quarterback Ethan Wilson, senior running back Kade Thornley and junior wide receiver Isaac Larsen. Wilson finished the game 12for-17 for 151 yards and two touchdowns, both of which went to Larsen, who added five catches for 91 yards. But Thornley was the real star, running for 215 yards and three scores on 17 carries, averaging 12.6 yards per attempt. On the season, Logan (3-7, 1-4 overall) finished fifth in Region 11, averaging 27.5 points per game on offense while giving up 34.2 points on the other side of the ball. “They’re far better than what their record suggests,” Montzingo said. “This is going to be a really good matchup for us because they’re twice our size, and have great and highly skilled athletes,” Montzingo said. “Larsen is a future division-one receiver so he’s going to be a handful for us, he will definitely be getting some extra attention.” Thornley is the workhorse at carrying the ball, averaging 104.9 yards per game with 14 touchdowns on the season. When it comes to pass catchers, the Grizzlies rely on Larsen and Jaylen Sargent, who each average over 15 yards per catch and have combined for all 13 of Wilson’s touchdown passes. Wilson is completing just 48.7-percent of his passes on the season for 1,619 yards, but has thrown 16 interceptions on the year. Defensively, Larsen is a feared ball hawk in the secondary with six interceptions and three caused fumbles. His running mate is senior safety Chris Shopbell, who has accounted for 84 tackles, 12 tackles for loss and five sacks. Anchoring the front line is senior defensive end Andrew Sheppard, who has a team-leading 102 tackles and 15 tackles for loss. “They have guys who play both ways, so we are going to try and wear them down as the game goes on,” Montzingo said. “Last year, we were the team that got worn down quite a bit because we had so many guys paying two ways. … So this year being more balanced, we are hoping that an advantage for us.” Kickoff is set for 5 p.m. on Friday night at Dozier Field.
