DEVASTATING state championship game
|
BY AFTON MILNE
SPORTS MANAGING EDITOR On November 18th our Corner Canyon football team played at Rice-Eccles stadium. It was the 6A championship game. We played against Skyridge, whose only loss this season was to our team on September 23rd. The senior players were asked weeks before the game who they thought they would be playing and their predicted score. Almost all the players predicted that they would play Skyridge in the championships except for Hayden Hall who predicted that we would play American Fork. American Fork lost in the quarter-finals to Farmington. All the senior players did predict that Corner Canyon would win. Some were more confident than others. Like McKray Briggs predicted we would win 35-0. Although we lost 7-17. Each team got a touchdown in the first quarter. Then it went downhill in the second quarter when Skyridge got a field goal. And the final blow was in the fourth quarter when Skyridge scored a touchdown. The somewhat close predictions were 31-24 by Jackson Ames. He did predict a team would win by at least 7 points. But Corner Canyon didn’t win as he predicted and the score was a lot lower. David Briton was also close; he predicted 24-14. He got that the score was going to be low and the team would win by 10 points. The game was disappointing to many. It also left many wondering what this loss will do to Corner Canyon's reputation. Rylin, a student from Bingham, said “We’re not even worried about playing Corner Canyon next year. Skyridge beat them. That’s laughable.” This is our second year in a row making it to the state game and losing. It was a close game. Students were not only sad about the loss but about the student section. The section was really quiet and didn’t chant many cheers. Compared to the Skyridge student section, Corner Canyon was weak and can barely be called a fan base. Ruby Winget, a senior at Corner Canyon, said “We had a really good regular season as a student section. But when it came to playoffs the student pride disappeared. It seemed that the leaders were more interested in their own social lives than leading our section.” Hopefully, in other sports seasons, student pride can be better. And Corner Canyon can be better represented. On a better note, Mrs. Bown said “Despite the anticlimactic ending to the football season, we are proud of our leatherheads nonetheless.” POSTED 11/29/2022 |

Ducks Destroy the Utes
|
BY STELLA CIANFLONE
STAFF WRITER On November 18, my dad and I traveled to Eugene to watch the Utah Utes play against the Oregon Ducks. Even though the score was not ideal, I still had a great time in a state that I’ve never been to. Utah and Oregon have recently had an energetic rivalry. In the 2019 Pac-12 Championship game, the Ducks defeated the Utes 37-15 and it was devastating to watch. Everything got canceled in 2020, so 2021 was the year that Utah had a comeback, beating Oregon 38-7 in the regular season and 38-10 in the Pac-12 Championship. Also, both these teams are usually close in the NCAA football rankings, making their seasonal records a competition. Before making the 2-hour drive to Eugene, we met up with my dad’s friend for lunch at a restaurant called McMenamins. Him and his wife are Oregon fans that I can actually get along with. During the drive, there were tons of beautiful pine, maple, and Douglas fir trees topped off with autumn leaves and a sunset. On day 2, we drove 1.5 hours to Oregon Dunes Beach. When most people think of the beach, the first thing that comes to mind is warm sand, palm trees, and swimsuits. This coast is different. It has cliffs, lighthouses, and unique rocks. After that, we walked around the Saturday Market before heading back to the hotel. 5 hours later, it was time to put on long johns, sweatshirts, hoodies, a jacket, mittens, hand warmers, 2 layers of socks, and a hat to prepare for a 7:30, 25-degree pitch black football game. The end score was 20-17 (Oregon), but it is always the experience that I remember the most. This just proves that my dad and I are no fairweather fans (literally), and will support the Utes no matter what, when, or where! POSTED 12/08/2022 |

BY STELLA CIANFLONE STAFF WRITER AND GAGAN GUDDEP MIND & BODY EDITOR Wrestling is one of the world’s oldest sports. It dates back to 15,000 years ago, when cavemen in Southern Europe would carve drawings of it. The sport actually took place in 125 A.D. Rome during the first Olympic Games, with around 80,000 people attending. Rules of wrestling were put into place during the Napoleonic age, with things like no tripping or overlocking legs. In later years, the sport was spread to countries like Japan, England, Uzbekistan, and Kazakhstan, where new techniques and styles such as Sumo, Judo, Greco-Roman, and Glima. Nowadays, wrestling is very organized in terms of rules and conduct. The categories are divided into groups based on weight and vary for Olympic and International classes, International Youth classes, Scholastic (Elementary, Middle and High School) classes and Collegiate classes. Wrestling started with styles like Pankration, Greek, Lancashire and Devon. Today, the three main types of wrestling styles include Greco-Roman wrestling, Freestyle wrestling, and Folkstyle (Collegiate) wrestling. POSTED 11/28/2022 |
