Abby Morris had 23 kills, and Karleigh Stilson dished out 25 assists as the Spartans topped Morgan in the UHSAA 3A girls volleyball championship match to clinch Emery s first state title since 1996.
For 42 years, a lone volleyball championship banner has hung in the rafters of Orem High School, and now it will get another to match. It hasn’t been an easy ride for Orem, which nearly lost in the 4A quarterfinals to Cedar, but the Tigers have made the best of their situation and dominated the 4A championship match against Green Canyon Thursday night, 25-14, 25-12 and 25-23. The Tigers’ success largely came from their strong serving game, where they recorded 13 aces.
