Friday night football

Tooele and Stansbury high schools have agreed to play their football game on Friday at 7 p.m. at Tooele High School instead of Thursday as originally scheduled. All other Region 6 games will be played on Thursday. Tooele is 0-4 in region play after having last Friday’s game against East cancelled because of players with H1N1 flu. Stansbury is 0-5. Region officials have yet to announce whether Tooele and East will need to make up their game. East could have a chance at a playoff spot if it defeats Highland on Thursday and may then need to play its game against Tooele to determine if it qualifies for the state tournament. If Grantsville defeats Ben Lomond on Friday it will qualify for the state tournament and play at the No. 1 seed from Region 10 next week which will be either Park City or Wasatch.

BCS standings

Florida, Alabama and Texas hold the top three spots in the first BCS standings and control their fates in the national championship race. The Gators (.988) are in first, just ahead of the Crimson Tide (.952). Texas (.891) is third. Boise State (.808) is fourth, but the Broncos still seem to be a long shot to play for a national championship. Florida is No. 1 in the two polls used by the Bowl Championship Series — the USA Today coaches’ poll and Harris poll — and rated highest by the computers. The polls make up two-thirds of a BCS grade and a compilation of six computer ratings accounts for the other third. Alabama is second in all the components. Texas is third in the two polls and sixth in the computer ratings. The Mountain West’s TCU is eighth in the BCS standings while BYU is 16th and Utah 18th. BYU hosts TCU on Saturday.

Two deer hunts

The Utah Division of Wildlife is considering having two deer hunts in 2011. Each hunt would be nine days long, just like the hunt is now, but hunters could choose to participate in an early hunt or a late hunt. The early hunt would be held at the start of October. The late hunt would happen at the end of October. Having two rifle deer hunts would reduce by half the number of hunters in the field at any one time. “You’d still be able to hunt the same number of days you can hunt now, but you’d have fewer hunters in the field with you,” Anis Aoude says. “We think this change would make your rifle hunt even better.” Another idea would let you hunt deer and elk at the same time. The DWR is considering holding the general rifle buck deer hunt and the general rifle bull elk hunt on the same days. “This change would allow you to hunt deer and elk at the same time,” Aoude says. “But you wouldn’t have to do that. If you wanted, you could obtain a deer permit to hunt during either the early or the late season, and also obtain an elk permit to hunt during the season when you’re not hunting deer.”
