High school softball: Top seed Ridgeline, No. 2 Desert Hills stay unbeaten in 4A tourney
The top two seeds in the 4A state softball tournament stayed unbeaten Wednesday as each of them recorded two wins to move within one win of the state championship series to be held on Saturday. The top seeded Ridgeline Riverhawks beat No. 8 seed Hurricane 8-0 and No. 4 seed Cedar 12-0 in five innings of play, while No. 2 seed Desert Hills beat No. 7 Bear River 6-2 and No. 6 Payson 9-1 to stay unbeaten in the 4A bracket held at the Spanish Fork Complex. Ridgeline’s pitching was stellar in both of its games as it held Hurricane to just three hits and then was able to throw a combined no-hitter against Cedar. “You know it’s a big thing right now. Trying to save arms, trying to be as efficient as you can. And when our pitchers do that, it keeps the pressure on the other team and will keep us fresh for tomorrow.” Ridgeline head coach Michael Anderson said.
High school boys tennis: Desert Hills takes top spot in Utah’s 4A ranks
Every year the question is asked among St. George-area high school tennis coaches: Who is going to be the team to beat this year? With balmy weather most of the time and many open courts, the play quality is always high in southern Utah, and Desert Hills answered the above question Saturday with a surprising effort at the 4A state tournament at Liberty Park. While the school colors are traditionally black and gold, first-year coach Christian Thurgood said more school teams are switching to purple, and the Thunder’s bold uniforms stood out after individual championships in No. 3 singles and No. 1 doubles to hold off rival and two-time defending state champ Crimson Cliffs 45-42. Orem finished third with 33 points, followed by Dixie (30) and Logan 25.
