History made in Draper as Corner Canyon defeats top-5 nationally ranked IMG Academy
A year ago, the only thing that kept Corner Canyon from a perfect 14-0 record was a loss to nationally top-ranked Bishop Gorman out of Nevada. It was a competitive game until the Gaels pulled away in the fourth quarter. Still, Corner Canyon head coach Eric Kjar wanted that elusive national win. Kjar got exactly what he was hoping for on Thursday as Corner Canyon got what was arguably the biggest win in Utah high school football history with a 35-34 win over the third-ranked team in the country, Florida’s IMG Academy. “We got rolled by (Bishop Gorman) two years ago and played a pretty tight game last year,” said Kjar. “We just kept telling our kids ‘(Believe in yourselves)’
High school girls volleyball: Bingham defeats Lone Peak in 5-set thriller
After losing to Lone Peak in the semifinals of the 6A girls volleyball tournament a year ago, Bingham returned the favor on Thursday night, coming from behind to clinch victory over the Knights in a 5-set thriller, 17-25, 25-22, 25-19, 19-25 and 15-12. In an early season meeting between two dominant volleyball programs, the match had the feel of a semifinal playoff match. “Anytime you walk into Lone Peak and go head-to-head with the 4-time defending state champions, you’re expecting the best team in the state. They have a beautiful tradition, great coaching, great athletes, and so for us to come in and pull that out in five was a spectacular thing for us,” said Bingham head coach Reed Carlson. Lone Peak came out looking like the 4-time defending state champ it is. After falling behind 8-4 to start the opening set, Bingham struggled to catch up and looked to have no answers, with Lone Peak cruising from the outset and Bingham ultimately dropping the set 25-17.
