Junior Luke Meyer has been outstanding this season for Juan Diego, and he played a key role in leading the Soaring Eagle to a pair of region victories last week. In Tuesday’s 65-43 win over Granger he recorded 20 points and seven rebounds, and then three nights later he tallied eight points and nine rebounds in Juan Diego’s 58-53 come-from-behind victory over Cyprus. For the season, Meyer is averaging 17.4 points and 9.5 rebounds.
OREM Morgan Honsvick remembers starting the season with Maple Mountain s girls wrestling program with just five girls practicing and preparing for the first season of the newly sanctioned sport by the Utah High School Activities Association.
By the end of the season, four Golden Eagles were wrestling each other to finish off the final two weight classes of the 5A state tournament.
Honsvick clinched the 245-pound state title, and teammates Ashley Camacho and Abigail Archibald each added a title to help Maple Mountain roll to the first-ever 5A state title Wednesday night at Mountain View. Honestly, I was surprised, said Honsvick, who pinned teammate Auriella Ramos in 2:30 to clinch her title. Nobody expected us to be where we are at today, and we just got there.
