I have had multiple people reach out asking me if this Mountain Ridge team is one of ours. It is NOT! This is a Ute Conference team.

If you fast forward to the last 10 minutes of the video you’ll see Morgan score twice and the Mountain Ridge coach went nuts and got ejected. Then the parents started throwing bottles and trash at the refs and all over the field resulting in the game being called with two minutes left and robbing their own kids of the opportunity to drive down and win their championship. It is disgusting behavior and I want to make it clear they have no affiliation with the Mountain Football Conference.
