Statement from the Girls Golf Coach Lexi Gagon:
Hi all, I just wanted to send an update on the girls golf team! It was a very long couple of days, but we ended up taking 2nd place in the 6A State Tournament. The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place teams were all within one stroke! We ended up tying with Lone Peak for 2nd, so we went into a sudden death playoff and won after 3 holes! It was awesome. The girls ended up playing 39 holes total. The following girls are the ones who competed at the state tournament: Savannah Romney Victoria Romney Alyssa Meadows Ellie Whitehead Bella Boman Laney Ross Savannah Romney ended up taking 6th individually, and her sister, Victoria Romney, ended up taking 7th individually! Please congratulate these girls on their accomplishments if you see them in class! Also, thank you for being so supportive throughout the season. I know it is hard to have them pulled out of class so often, so thank you for all you do. |
The Girls who won at state!
The Golf Team!

By Mason Hughes
Nation/World News Editor On April 16th, CCHS baseball faced the Skyridge falcons. The chargers started strong, leading by 3 for most of the game. However, they fell apart in the seventh inning, giving up 9 runs to Skyridge. The team's batting average was also abysmal, only batting around .192. Pitcher Davis Reese commented, "we fell apart." He was profoundly disappointed by their loss. The team ran out of pitchers, using JV players to pitch against Skyridge's varsity hitters. Published 4/19/21 |

FORMER CHARGER QUARTERBACK ZACH WILSON A TOP PICK FOR NFL
|
According to www.si.com, If Zach Wilson is selected before the fifth overall pick, he will become the highest NFL Draft pick in BYU history. The New York Jets seem to be the top guess from sports experts for becoming Zach's new home.

BY AUSTIN BRADY
INDEPENDENT CONTRIBUTOR Zachary Kapono Wilson was born on August 3, 1999, in Draper, Utah. As a CCHS senior, he passed for 2,986 yards and 24 touchdowns while also running for 752 yards and eight touchdowns at Corner Canyon High School. He had already committed to play college football at Brigham Young University (BYU).6’3, 195 pounds as a senior. Zach was a student athlete at Corner Canyon high school playing both Varsity Football and Varsity basketball during his high school career while also earning a spot on the honor roll. Some of the major accomplishments Zach was awarded in high school include: Passed for 2,986 yards and 24 touchdowns as a senior at Corner Canyon and also ran for 752 yards on eight scores -Named 5A MVP and first-team all-state selection- Led Corner Canyon to the 5A state semifinals, region championship and an 11-1 overall record -Runner-up for Utah Mr. Football Threw for 2,708 yards and 20 touchdowns to go along with 539 rushing yards as a junior -Also played varsity basketball |
Coached by Eric Kjar-Also recruited by Boise State, California, Iowa, Minnesota, Oregon State, Syracuse, Utah State, Hawaii, Fresno State, Nevada, Rice, Idaho, Weber State and Colorado State.
Don't get Zach Wilson wrong, despite his 6-foot-3, 210-pound frame not being as physically intimidating as the other quarterbacks in the top five, he has a cannon. What makes the true junior's arm talent so unique is that it can be seen from the pocket, on the move, or wherever he wants to let it fly. Comparing Zach Wilson to the projected #1 Overall pick in the NFL Draft (Trevor Lawrence), Zach Wilson played two more games than Trevor did last year with fewer turn-overs and a higher completion percentage and with more yards per-attempt. Don't be surprised if the generational talent in Trevor Lawrence is selected #1 Overall by the Jacksonville Jaguars but Zach Wilson won't be too far behind the #1 overall pick. Quarterback is a must-fill position for Twelve of the Thirty-Two teams entering the 2021 NFL season. (37%) Out of the top Ten teams in the 2021 NFL draft, Five teams are in desperate need of quarterbacks. POSTED 3/18/21 |

WARMER WEATHER MEANS A PLETHORA OF SPRING SPORTS
CALEB BEVAN
SCIENCE&TECH EDITOR
Spring sports are always a big deal and always make all the athletes happy when their season has come. All the spring sports are starting and they consist of Boys Soccer, Softball, Track and Field, Baseball, Lacrosse, Boys Volleyball, Girls Golf, and Boys Tennis.
Of course, other sports are going on; these are just ones that the school holds in the spring. There are sports for everyone to play and to enjoy sports can differ from one another too. I love spring sports and tend to enjoy almost all of them. The only problem is that you can only do 1 or 2 in a season more than that you won’t have time for.
Spring is just a great season too with the warmth coming in from the long cold winter comes in with some great weather that everyone can enjoy even if you are inside or out. Some athletes train for these sports all year round just to compete for just a season.
Sports are a big deal at Corner Canyon as well as the school does excel in sports so this is just another great season for Corner Canyon. Another good reason for the spring sports is because of the lack of winter sports and how they don’t have a lot of those and people stay inside a lot and don’t go outside, but the spring gives kids a chance to go outside and try their hardest training and giving it their all in a friendly environment with friendly competition.
There are so many spring sports and suggest that everyone at least try some that can help you get outside and have fun with your friends and interacting with people. Sports allow you to give something all your effort, improve your mood, make you healthier, and many more reasons. Sports are something everyone can do as well no matter who you are. T
here is a sport you can play and I bet you can find one you enjoy too. Sports do take up lots of time if you play them seriously but it's better than playing games or watching tv you can feel accomplished at the end of the day and you can enjoy it.
Some people's jobs are just playing sports like athletes that play on pro teams, Olympic players, college athletes even, and there are many more jobs where you just play a sport and you get paid a lot when you play a sport for a profession.
There is very little time that your body can play
sports well without getting hurt or being too small and if I were you I would make the most of it. Sports can help you get in good shape so you can be more confident in your summer body. So next time you should consider doing a sport you might even want to do one in the spring right now because it couldn’t hurt.

NFL SPOTLIGHT STORY: SEAHAWKS RUSSELL WILSON, QUARTERBACK
|
Russell Carrington Wilson is an American football quarterback who plays for the National Football League's Seattle Seahawks.
Wilson attended North Carolina State University from 2008 to 2010, where he played football and baseball before transferring to Wisconsin. Russell Wilson is an absolute inspiration in Seattle’s locker room on and off the field. Earning the nickname of, “Let Russ Cook!” Reports around the National Football League state, The Seahawks quarterback confirmed that he has "grown increasingly frustrated" with the team's failure to protect him, according to a report from the weekend. In his nine seasons, Wilson really does have 394 sacks, including 47 in 2020. In 2019, he was sacked a league-high 48 times, and he was sacked a career-high 51 times in 2018. It sounds like improving the roster, for Wilson, begins with the offensive line. |
Otherwise, we may see the end of “Let Russ Cook” in Seattle. And who would blame him.
Other Quarterbacks with the most QB Hits-Brett Favre (516 and 525)-Ben Roethlisberger (511)-Tom Brady (508)-Aaron Rodgers (455)Then Wilson, -Russell Wilson (394) |

CCHS SPORTS START SPRINTING INTO SPRING SEASON
GUEST CONTRIBUTOR COACH & ATHLETIC DIRECTOR PAT THURMAN
After a 2 week pause on winter athletics, our teams are now engaged in what seems like a continuous sprint of activity. Between all the competitions, bi-weekly COVID19 testing, and navigating the ever-changing safety protocols, I wanted to give you all a quick summary of things so far:
Football
I'm not sure if you saw this or not, but an official news release was just put out by the NIAAA, which announced that Cole Hagen was the male national recipient of their annual scholarship. This is the largest athletic and academic organization in the country saying that Cole Hagen was the number 1 male academic athlete in the class of 2020. And while Cole has graduated, I felt it was important to pass this along and a credit to his coaches, teachers, counselors, and administrators who helped Cole to that award.
Girls Basketball
Our girls have one more non-region game before opening region play. Currently our girls are ranked #12 in 6A. Key players include Baylee Bodily, Natalie Newton, Ell Mortensen, Hannah Shinall, Lily Crofts, Isabel Crofts, Brook Yeomans and Clara Hazar. The varsity team has a cumulative GPA of 3.902.
Boys Basketball
Our boys are coming off a school record 105 points scored in their win at Taylorsville on Friday and open region play against Skyridge this coming Friday. The team is currently ranked #3. Key players for the boys are Trace Ross, Carter Welling, Max Toombs, Peyton Call, Tate Staley, and Phil Harris. The varsity team has a cumulative GPA of 3.691.
Wrestling
We have a great group of boys that are competing in multiple duals and tournaments each week. They have had to deal with multiple schools canceling last minute and tournament restrictions changing daily. But so far, so good for our boys. They will have their annual Battle for the Shield with Alta next week here at CC, with a couple of more matches at home the following week. The varsity team has a cumulative GPA of 3.567.
Cheer
Our cheerleaders won the Region title this past weekend and will be competing at State soon. Our girls are also competing for national titles via virtual competitions that require them to film their routines and be judged remotely.
Drill
Our drill team had their first competition this past weekend and would have placed 3rd except for some nerves that led to deductions. The team is filled with girls who are competing for the first time, so there is a bit of an adjustment. The team has a cumulative GPA of 3.763.
Swim
The swimmers were finally allowed back in the pool after an extended shut down by the County. The season has been far from normal, but there are still many that are among the leaders in the state, including Britta Catmull, Tyler Lybbert, Ruby Winget, Lily Afualo, Stephanie Guzman-De La Hoz, McKay Larsen, Steele Smith, Karson Spencer, Ethan Bangerter, and Jaxon Barlow. The girls varsity team has a GPA of 3.845 and the boys have a GPA of 3.513.

Three time undefeated champs
|
By Brandtson Bijou
Our Charger Football just took their Third state championship with a perfect undefeated season. On Friday the 20th, they beat Lone Peak 45-7 ending their season well. Last year our game against lone peak was a close one. With only two minutes left our chargers pulled through winning the game 21-17. Jaxson Dart ended the season with 67 touchdowns, a new state record. Our charger football team has become 8th in the nation for high school football. And to other schools we have become quite the controversy. Quotes from some students have shown anger and hatred toward our school and teams. We can’t share most due to vulgar language but many say we steal our games and pay off refs. These rumors began with our game against lone peak last year. Many lone peak fans still claim the win was false. It's quite the conspiracy to make up for just high school football. There's no cheating, just skill and teamwork. Our chargers have pushed through every obstacle in their way this season including a world-wide pandemic. During school shutdowns, extra-curricular shutdowns, and sickness and injury alike. They pushed through every hardship and came out on top. They prove everyday what Corner Canyon is made of. And they made this year better than ever. We are all proud to say we are chargers, and still we rise. |
Winter sports are beginning! Be sure to show up and show out your charger pride. Be sure to see our boys and girls basketball teams this winter. and don"t forget to see our wrestlers coming this year. UPDATE: winter sports have been shut down for two weeks so be sure to wear your masks and social distance so they can come back better than ever!
