High school baseball: Big 1st inning punches Corner Canyon’s ticket to 6A championship series
A big 7-run first inning helped propel Corner Canyon past Mountain Ridge 10-8 Thursday to secure a date with Lehi in the best-of-three 6A championship series. Corner Canyon batted around in the opening inning and took advantage of sloppy defense by Mountain Ridge, which had four errors to start the game. By the time the second inning came around, each player in the lineup for Corner Canyon had already gotten a hit in the game. Corner Canyon was led at the top of the lineup by Garrett Downing and Ryder Florence. Downing went 1 for 3 with a run scored and two RBIs, while Florence went 2 for 5, also scoring a run and adding two RBIs.
Utah Valley University Wasatch Campus offers opportunities for students of all ages
UVU has the largest student population in the state with over 43,000 students enrolled. Wasatch Area Director Beka Grulich said that’s because the Orem campus is full and the school offers concurrent enrollment classes so high school students can get college credit. Both Park City High School and Wasatch High School have high enrollment numbers in UVU’s CE classes, which are very affordable. Each credit costs $5 so a regular three-credit class is only $15, Grulich said on a recent visit to KPCW’s Local News Hour.
High school boys soccer: American Fork breaks 40-year drought with 6A state championship victory
Junior forward Demetri Larsen spent his Wednesday practicing his shot from one particular location around the 36-foot mark. Little did he know at the time that it was the spot where he would have a chance to make a generational play for his team. Forty years is a long time for any high school team to go without a state championship. It feels especially long for a team representing American Fork, which has won state in 11 different sports since the turn of the century but hadn’t laid hands on the coveted trophy for boys soccer since 1984, back when 46-year-old Cavemen coach Casey Waldron was in the first grade. But when senior Ben Harley’s corner kick Thursday in the 6A state championship match went right where it needed to go, it got booted out of the scrum into the waiting feet of Larsen, who fired it through the hands of Farmington’s goalie for American Fork’s lone goal.
