Junior Alex Burrows is Maple Mountain’s Prep of the Week. Alex went 4-4 in their win against Payson and 10-12 in previous games before. Alex plays 2nd base for the Golden Eagles and has been playing baseball his whole life.  He says his coaches have helped him though this year and would like to thank them for their sacrifice.

His favorite thing about the game is when he pulls off double plays with Colby Jeffers.

His favorite quote is, “If you ain’t first, your last.”

On Earth Day, Friday, April 22, Great Basin Rehabilitation released a golden eagle into the wild that had been nursed back to health.  The releasing of the golden eagle at the Roney residence (close to Maple Mountain High) was significant to the school since its mascot is the golden eagle and there are several large golden eagle nests close to the school.   Several students from Mapleton Jr. High and Maple Mountain High were able to view the releasing of the golden eagle into the wild.
