On Friday, October 8, Maple Mountain Golden Eagles football hammered the Uinta Utes with a decisive win of 33-7.  Then, again on Wednesday, October 13, Maple Mountain pounded Ogden with a huge 47-7 win. 

Maple Mountain’s KJ Hall said, “In spite of previous losses, our team has desire and lots of love for the game. Now that we have won two, we will keep winning.”

This week’s Prep of the Week is Kourtney Finch, new member of the All-State Drill Team.  Finch has been on the Maple Mountain drill team since it was started.  She has been a significant member of the team and says that the reason she loves to dance so much is because it is a great way to express herself.

This week’s Maple Mountain Prep of the Week is Savannah Martin, member of the All-State Drill Team. When asked how she felt about this accomplishment, Martin said, “It was rewarding, not many can say they were on a team that is as good as the Elleves.”

“Dancing is just a way of expressing myself,” says Martin.

Martin gives advice to someone who wants to be on the drill team, “Work hard; be willing to give 100 percent. It only takes one for the team to fail.  Work as if you’re at the bottom, even if you’re at the top.”  

About 600-700 choir students all over Utah came together October 8th and 9th and sang as a united mass. They congregated the first day at Riverton High School and spent their second day singing in the LDS tabernacle on Temple Square. Region schools that attended were Springville, Payson, Salem Hills, Maple Mountain, and Uinta.

 Participants included select students from Chamber Singers, Concert Choir, and Sorelle Voce. The music ensemble included Gloria, America the Beautiful, and Little Birds.

On September 28, Maple Mountain volleyball faced Springville in the first round of the region tournament.  Unfortunately, the Red Devils were victorious over our Lady Golden Eagles, however, our team played very well.

Last Tuesday at Maple Mountain High School our Golden Eagles not only hosted the Region VIII Cross Country Meet, but took home both the Boys and Girls Region Titles for the second year in a row.  This back-to-back championship team worked harder than any other school to achieve this season-long goal.

“What impressed me most was how the individuals were able to rally together and lift the team as a whole,” said Coach Darrell Wyatt. “It was a wonderful team effort top to bottom.”
