UHSAA 2A Girls' Football State Tournament Preview

Top seeds await their opponents

The leading sides have been handed a potentially valuable route into the tournament:

  • Maeser Prep, the No. 1 seed, is listed to host the winner of South Sevier and UMA Hill Field at 4pm on 14 October.
  • Waterford, seeded No. 2, is set to face the winner of UMA Camp Williams and North Summit.
  • American Heritage, the No. 3 seed, will meet either Draper APA or Gunnison Valley.

That structure puts immediate pressure on the lower-ranked teams, who must win before facing one of the bracket’s strongest contenders.

Three opening-round fixtures

The report lists three matches for 1pm on 10 October, creating the tournament’s first set of elimination games:

  • South Sevier travel to UMA Hill Field.
  • North Summit visit UMA Camp Williams.
  • Gunnison Valley face Draper APA.

The winners will have only a short turnaround before the second round, where the top three seeds are waiting.

Five more second-round ties

The other seeded teams listed in the bracket begin their campaigns on 14 October, with all second-round fixtures scheduled for 4pm:

  • Grand host Parowan.
  • ALA face South Summit.
  • Enterprise meet Millard.
  • Beaver play Rowland Hall at home.
  • St. Joseph welcome San Juan.

The compact schedule could make momentum decisive, particularly for teams playing twice within four days. The first-round winners must recover quickly, while the higher seeds will aim to turn their byes into a competitive advantage.

The opening fixtures on 10 October will establish the first bracket paths, but the main storyline arrives four days later, when Maeser Prep, Waterford and American Heritage enter the state-title race.
