On Friday, January 21, the Maple Mountain boys basketball team battled the Spanish Fork Dons in an overtime thriller.  KJ Hall brought the Golden Eagles within striking distance with a NBA range three pointer. The Dons answered back with a free throw putting Maple Mountain down three.  In the last second, Jace Edmunds sends the game into overtime with a three point buzzer beater. The Dons eventually pulled out the 58-50 win.

The 2nd annual class battle Spirit Bowl was held last Friday, January 21, on the Mountain. The seniors came out victorious (as usual), with the faculty in second, sophomores third, and (unfortunately) juniors in last place. 

After all of the insane events, which were almost pointless to anyone else who is not a high school student, the seniors came out with a clear victory.

Amber Elmore, a senior at Maple Mountain High School, spends time every other day interning and helping out at the East Meadow Nursing Home.

Elmore’s duties include tending to the elderly and doing housework.

When asked if she is still interested in this line of work after interning in this environment, Elmore said, “Yes, although for next term I would like to be placed somewhere else to get a feel for other careers.”

Elmore said that she had a lot of fun decorating the home with her new friend, Ruth (an elderly woman), for Halloween.

Chase Brown, a senior at Maple Mountain High, is currently interning at Spanish Fork Physical Therapy.  He began his interest in physical therapy from his sports medicine classes. He assists with the set up of new patients and learns the various stretches that are administered to patients. He was once allowed to help a patient, with supervision, and really enjoyed the experience.

Chase is still interested in physical therapy.  Brown loves learning hands on and would recommend the internship program for other students.
