High school baseball: Lehi routs Corner Canyon in Game 1 of 6A championship series
In a dominating performance, No. 5 Lehi routed No. 10 Corner Canyon in Game 1 of the 6A baseball championship 11-1 on Friday at UVU. Behind a strong pitching performance from Braden Hansen and timely hitting from the offense, Lehi had all of the momentum on its side for the majority of the game. Lehi got a complete game from Hansen, who kept Corner Canyon’s bats in check, pitching five strong innings and getting seven strikeouts while only allowing three hits. Lehi also got plenty of production at the plate, led by Cooper Williams, who went 2 for 3 with two RBIs and two runs scored.
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.

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.
