The Park City High School boys lacrosse team is gearing up for the 2026 season, determined to capture their first state championship since 2023. After a devastating loss in the 2025 state title game, the Miners have been preparing since September with high expectations to win their region and state titles.

Why it matters

Park City's boys lacrosse program has been a powerhouse in Utah, winning back-to-back state championships in 2023 and 2024 before falling just short last year. The team's quest for redemption this season will be closely watched by the local community, who have grown accustomed to the Miners' success on the field.

The details

The Miners will be led by a veteran roster featuring 17 seniors, including captains Tommy Davis, Wade Birch, and Harper Brent. Head coach Michael Persky is confident in his team's ability to bounce back, citing the squad's strong offseason preparation and a challenging non-regional schedule that includes matches against top programs like Lone Peak and Corner Canyon. Despite the disappointment of last year's title game loss, the Miners are determined to peak at the right time and bring home another championship.

  • The Miners begin their season on Wednesday, March 5, 2026, hosting Lone Peak at the fields at Quinn's Junction.
  • Park City won back-to-back state titles in 2023 and 2024.
  • The Miners lost in the 2025 state championship game against Brighton.
