Where do i start...
First... Most of the kids playing today for East don't live around the school. They bring in kids from Bingham, Herriman, even Utah County. All of my friends that live in the Harvard/Yale area of SLC (east high boundaries) wouldn't be caught dead having their kids play football (they play comp league soccer and lacrosse). Even the students don't show up for the games... for the past few years that we've played East, we've had more visiting fans than their home fans. I don't think they even have enough students for a marching band.

Second... Back in 2012 East pulled a Lone Peak and had to forfeit most of their wins. This put the #1 ranked East up against the #2 Herriman in the first round of playoffs (Herriman should have had an easy team for their first game). Herriman protested the ruling making a little kerfuffle of the situation. East won the game and during the 'handshake' after the game, every East player and Coach went down the line of Herriman players and said "F-Off" "F-U" .. etc. Later it was also discovered East had trashed the Herriman locker rooms. They bent doors, broke chairs, scratched massive lines in the lockers... etc.

That was around the same time Larry Gelwix retired from Highland Rugby. A few of the highland coaches came to Herriman and formed Herriman Rugby. The first game between the old Highland (that included east players) and Herriman had more police presence than i've ever seen in my life.

Third... I grew up on the east bench of salt lake. East was my high school rival, and they suck.
