Congratulations to the team for being the Region 8 Co-Champions.  Because of the UHSAA rulings with Timpview, we have been awarded the #2 seed going into the playoffs.  We will be hosting Box Elder HS on Friday at 5 PM.  Box Elder was the #3 seed from Region 5, behind Mt. Crest and Logan.  They are a good, physical team and we will have to play our best to beat them.

Sophomores – we still want you to practice, then dress for the playoff game on Friday.  Come be a part of the team as we enter the state playoffs!

First, Varsity players, despite the set back last week, we have an opportunity to improve and finish the regular season on a high note by beating Salem Hills on Wednesday and finishing with a 8-2 record.  We must clean up the mistakes and get back on track to gain momentum entering the state playoffs.  Also, congratulations to the JV and Soph teams for their victories.

If you haven’t already heard, we have had a tragedy in our Maple Mountain family.  Haley Stonehocker, who was a former student, fan, and manager for our football team, passed away on Thursday morning due to a chronic illness she had been fighting for the last few years.  Our thoughts and prayers go out to her family in this time of sadness.  She was an outstanding young lady who helped us during the 2010 and 2011 seasons.  She was a friend to many and will be missed.  Please find the time in your schedule to go to her services and pay your respects to her and her family.
