The Deseret News always does a great job of preparing fans for the state's high school football season.

On Saturday, writer James Edward broke-down the 1A field.

Duchesne is the two-time defending champ with a 22 game win streak entering the 2012 season.

According to Edward, Duchesne will still be a force even though it lost a lot of talent to graduation. He also thinks Altamont, Layton Christian, Monticello, Rich and Summit Academy will figure in the hunt.

Amy Donaldson of The Deseret News is reporting that Greg Croshaw, the former head coach at Dixie State College is the new head coach Cottonwood High School.

Crowshaw takes over a program has struggled with off the field issues over the last couple of years.

First, Teko Johnson died two years ago before ever coaching a game at Cottonwood. That was followed by head coach Josh Lyman resigning last month during a school investigation into his conduct involving female students. On Saturday, assistant coach Mike Gallegos was killed in an auto accident.

Crowshaw has faced his own adversity according to Donaldson's report that you can read by clicking here. In 24 years as Dixie State's head coach, he won 214 games and nine conference titles.

Cottonwood was 5-5 last season, but does return plenty of talent this season, starting with quarterback Cooper Bateman, who has verbally committed to Alabama.

Results from the Utah State Auditor's Office investigation into the Timpview High School football program have been released.

Amy Donaldson of The Deseret News is reporting that nearly $9,000 in revenue collected from football activities was never deposited into school accounts, and that more than $60,000 in fundraising revenue belonging to the school was co-mingled in a separate booster club account.

It was this sort of activity that led to the resignation of the school's highly successful head coach Louis Wong in May.

Donaldson also notes in her report that you can read by clicking here, that the Auditor's Office investigation noted a "lack of standard procedures statewide when it comes to overseeing fundraising, donations and booster club activities.

On March 29th, I spoke with Donaldson at the start of the investigation.
