The Miners opened their season on a chilly night in Park City, Utah, only to watch a 13‑10 lead slip away as Sky View rallied in overtime.
Cunningham’s Momentary Lead
Ethan Cunningham broke through for a 10‑yard rushing touchdown in the third quarter, giving Park City a brief edge with just under two minutes remaining.
Sky View answered quickly, striking back with a fourth‑quarter touchdown that tied the game and forced the contest into overtime.
In overtime, Tyler Curran opened the period with a 35‑yard field goal, but Sky View capped the drive with a 6‑yard rushing score to secure the win.
Head Coach Dennis Cunningham later blamed the loss on a combination of defensive injuries and a mis‑executed play call on the final drive.
The Miners now turn their attention to a road test at Ridgeline this Friday and a home opener against Morgan next week at South Summit High School, a venue shifted due to construction at their usual stadium.
Coaches say the focus is on healing the wounded units and tightening execution as the season progresses.
