The Uintah High Football team hosted the Layton Christian Eagles Wednesday night in an attempt to improve their chances for a home game to start the 5A State tournament. A hard fought back and forth game, with time winding down, the Utes found themselves down 23-22 and the Eagles had just scored, but a penalty negated the score and the Ute defense held, but the Utes were still behind. With just under 90 seconds to go, Josh Speirs connected with Kaedyn Sheffield for a 70 yard bomb to put the Utes ahead. The defense held as the Utes scored the victory 30-23.
 The Utes now await this weekend’s result to see if they play at home or away next week.

Evans ran in another in the third quarter, this on from 33 yards out, with Evan Garcia catching a 23 yard pass from Speirs as the Utes cruised to a 47-10 victory.
