Spring Sports are in full swing
|
BY RUBY WINGET- SPORTS EDITOR
As of Tuesday, it is officially spring. This means it is time for more spring sports. These teams just wrapped up tryouts and are ready to start off their seasons. The gloomy weather is fading away and hopefully the sunny weather allows these teams to compete their seasons. Last week we touched on Lacrosse, track and baseball and today we get to cover the rest. First up we have Softball! The girls just finished tryouts and have been having a great season so far with a winning record. The team is led by three seniors, Brenley Clark, Taylor Dotson and Chelisie Sunquist. They also have some dazzling underclassmen joining the squad this year. Captain Brenley Clark says “I love this team and I am so excited for my last season with them”. These girls are destined for an amazing year. Now we have girls golf which is in full swing. The team had tryouts and training all of the winter at TopGolf. The coaches then had the task of narrowing the girls interested down to a small team of 14-16 girls. This year the team includes multiple underclassmen paired with some very talented seniors. Seniors Laney Ross and Victoria Romney are both expected to have a remarkable last golf season. The team just had their first qualifier and they did amazing! These girls are aiming for some big wins this season. The boys tennis team is ready to make a racquet this year. The boys team practices every day together and have a great time. The team's coach Allison Rideout says “These boys are so fun to be around, they make everyday so much fun”. Last year the boys had a show stopping state performance. They placed in the top 3 in multiple categories and placed 3rd place overall. This year junior Aiden Rideout is hoping to secure a second state title. We are so excited to see all that these boys will accomplish. Last up is Boys soccer. Our boys soccer team has a long history of being an incredible program. The program has consistently had a winning record. This year, the team is looking forward to carrying that reputation with pride. The boys work great as a team and are led by multiple skilled seniors. They are currently 1-1 in preseason competition. Hope to see these boys score a state championship this year POSTED 3/25/23 |

It is finally time for spring sports at Corner Canyon! This includes boys lacrosse, girls lacrosse, track and field, softball, baseball, girls golf, boys tennis and boys soccer. As the weather dries us and the flowers come to life, it is time for your school spirit to blossom. Before the sports are in full swing, let’s take a quick peek at some of these team’s past performance and their season to come. First up is our boys lacrosse team. These boys won the state championship last year and are currently nationally ranked. The team retained a lot of talent from last year and are working together with cohesion that has been unmatched by their competitors thus far. The team is led by seniors Blake Franckowiack, Porter Wells and Lincoln Hanks. Ellie bowler says “Watching our boys dominate is so much fun.” Ours Lacrosse Ladies are also killing it! The girls have had 2 games so far and played so well in both. The team is led by their dedicated seniors. Kenzie Zimmerman, a senior and captain, says “I just love playing my favorite game with my favorite girls”. The team is looking forward to a season full of fun memories and quality time together. Next up is Track and Field. The team is transitioning from their indoor season to outdoor. This makes it so that more people can compete in track meets and more field based events can take place. The team had their first outdoor meet last weekend in St. George and brought home some hardware. The baseball team is ready to bat 100! The boys just had tryouts and are starting to play some preseason games. The team is coming together really well as they adjust to losing some amazing seniors last year. The team is ready for a great season and is excited to play some great baseball. Next week, we’ll cover the other half of the spring sports at CCHS. POSTED 3/21 |

Men's lacrosse has been one of the most successful sports here at Corner Canyon. The reigning State Champion team had tryouts 2 weeks ago and just started their season. They are 2-0 thus far this season with wins against Rival Alta and Cross County competition Mountain Ridge. Senior Defenseman Ben Brand says “We looked great this off-season and our team has been making working hard a priority to try to improve our skills as much as possible before the season starts especially us seniors. We are looking to end off our high school lacrosse career on a positive note like we know we can.” The team lost some key starters from the State Championship team last season. Anyone that knows anything about the Corner Canyon Lacrosse program knows how well they reload. Utah Commit Blake Franckowiak says “People say that they are worried our team will have holes with all of the great players that graduated last year. But if you were to come watch us practice you would not be worried. We are hungrier than ever and there is no doubt in our minds that we will be taking home some more jewelry at the end of this year.” The Team Chemistry has been great thus far, The coaches and the players have been working together to make sure that everything goes smoothly rolling into the season. Saint Joseph’s Commit Jack Baird said “It is really cool to see the new kids on the team connecting and getting to know the older guys that have been here longer. We are all 100% invested and it is our first priority. I think the connection and love for each other that we have is going to be a real advantage for us this year.” We wish good luck to our Chargers as they take on Cherry Creek March 25 for their next game.

The Chargers come out on top! After a tragic loss last year in the championship, the chargers came into the intense final game against the Caveman determined and focused. The Chargers took an early lead, and stayed with it throughout the heated game. Jaxon Roberts played an outstanding game, and won the game MVP. Roberts had 24 points and in 4 of the tournament games averaged 20.7 points, 3.8 rebounds, 4.5 assists, and 3.3 steals. Deseret News says,”Corner Canyon’s Big 3 of Max Toombs, Brody Kowzlowski and Jaxson Roberts were phenomenal throughout the state tournament at Weber State, and they put on one last show together in Saturday’s 6A state championship accounting for 92% of the Chargers’ points in the statement 66-51 victory over American Fork.” The team chemistry stayed strong throughout all 32 minutes on the floor, and their focus and commitment strongly throughout the game. Player Brody Kowzlowski said,” Our Chemistry is elite. We’re very good friends off and on the court, we share the ball really well. I think that’s what elevated us above other teams.” Anyone watching that championship game from the stands would agree. Our students really showed up for the game, and the energy in the stadium was something special. Student section leader Josh Sampson said “The crowd kept the chants up and the friendly banter between both student sections, and it was intense and energizing.” The students have supported the team all year, and the team has made it quite the year to watch. Our beloved cheer team also had the opportunity to take the court and put on a great halftime show. Involvement from the whole school created an amazing atmosphere. From being region champs, to staying undefeated against Utah teams, and now winning the 6A championship, the chargers couldn’t have asked for a better season. It was well-deserved and overall an amazing way to end such an incredible year. POSTED 3/13 |
