猶他州高中橄欖球比賽用直升機空投取代拋硬幣，隊長摔角比賽

週六，猶他州里奇高中和蒙蒂塞洛高中之間舉行的州冠軍橄欖球賽為開場拋硬幣帶來了全新的玩法

In a surprising twist on Saturday, the state championship football game between Rich and Monticello High Schools in Utah featured a unique pre-game ritual that replaced the traditional coin toss. Instead of flipping a coin to determine which team would start the game with possession, the two schools engaged in a spirited wrestling match for a football dropped from a helicopter onto the field.

週六，猶他州里奇高中和蒙蒂塞洛高中之間的州冠軍橄欖球比賽出現了令人驚訝的轉折，其賽前儀式取代了傳統的拋硬幣。兩所學校並沒有透過擲硬幣來決定哪支球隊將開始比賽，而是為從直升機上投下的足球進行了一場激烈的摔角比賽。

Prior to the start of the game, a helicopter flew low over Southern Utah University in Cedar City, hovering at midfield and dropping the ball onto the midfield logo. The captains of the two schools then fought for possession in a pre-game novelty that set the tone for the rest of the game. Ultimately, the stunt served as a precursor to the actual coin toss, which Rich High School ended up winning.

比賽開始前，一架直升機低空飛過錫達城的南猶他大學上空，在中場盤旋，將球扔到了中場標誌上。兩所學校的隊長隨後在一場賽前新奇的比賽中爭奪控球權，這為接下來的比賽定下了基調。最終，這一特技成為了真正的拋硬幣的前奏，而里奇高中最終贏得了比賽。

Video of the pre-game stunt was captured by Kansas City Chiefs assistant running backs coach Porter Ellett, whose nephew was playing in the game.

堪薩斯城酋長隊助理跑衛教練波特·埃利特拍攝了賽前特技的視頻，他的侄子正在參加比賽。

The helicopter drop ended up being the highlight of Saturday's game, as Rich High School went on to crush Monticello by a score of 50-14, repeating as 1A eight-player state champions.

直升機空投最終成為週六比賽的亮點，里奇高中以 50-14 的比分擊敗蒙蒂塞洛，衛冕 1A 八人州冠軍。
