SALT LAKE CITY — The excitement is in the air as Week 1 of high school football kicks off across the state. Fans and players alike are eager to see how the matches unfold, especially with some big games on the schedule.
This week’s standout matchup features two teams, the Lone Peak Knights and the Bingham Miners, who both rank in the top 10 of the KSL.com Top 20+1 rankings.
