There are sixteen scholarships available to sixteen individuals, but are not officially given until August.
“At first, I couldn’t believe I had made the UVU dance team. A friend of mine posted the list of who made it (which was posted a week later after tryouts) on facebook; later I saw the list for myself. I felt excited but then scared,” said Kourtney Finch.
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.”
