It's basketball time....keep watching for updates to game times and scores.



Yes basketball season is here already, just minutes after football season ends in our house. It would almost be better to make a calendar to see when, where, and who is playing. but this is the way it is. Pictures will be added as I get them on the computer.

Jeremy is again playing on a team from Nephi that goes to Utah county.They play in TWO leagues Mr Basketball started first, and Bantam has a *. The Bantam league is very good, so we might not win, but they will learn a lot.
So far the team has won every game in Mr. Basketball and will make playoffs. I am listing Jeremy's games by location and time. Check this often since I will add more games and scores as they are available.
Nov 2 SpFk win
Nov 7 SpFk win
Nov 9 SpFk Jr win
*Nov 16 SpFk main 3p win on OT, 5p loss (by 30) There is a 6'7"  7th grader in LEHI!!!! He wasn't very good, just tall. The rest of the team are awesome shooters. i think we were intimidated by the tall guy, then figured out he wasn't great, but it was too late to stop. oh and we shot crappy and turned the ball over too much!

Tyler is on the JV team. Tryouts were on Nov 14-15. There are 7 sophs, 6 Jrs, and 5 Srs. Our tallest guy was injured in the last football game, (a broken arm) so there is always a chance Tyler will play more varsity (as he is one of the three tallest boys on the entire team at 6'3"; 200lbs) at least until he gets back.

Nov 27 @ Measar Prep 515p win

Dec 13 @ South Sevier 515p win all three team won by less than 5 points each. Ty sprained his ankle and didn't play much.
Dec 18 Millard 515p win (all three won again) it was a sad game because the brothers of a young father (Josh Robison) who died suddenly just hours after his baby was born were playing. The older brother (Jeff) scored 41 points in the varsity game. JHS asked for a moment of silence and donated halftime monies to the wife and son. I realized that Derek played soccer with this family when he was really little.
Dec 20 Delta  515p win (all three teams won again) Tyler played well.
Dec 28 Ben Lomond 315 win (another winning day for the boys basketball teams) Tyler played during the second quarter only. It was a close game..

Juab made the playoffs!

In a great turn of events from last year, both the volleyball team and football team advanced to play beyond the regular season.  The volleyball team played Tooele and lost in the set in three games, then they played Union and lost the set in three games.  It was the first time they made it to state in nearly a decade.  Considering everything they had a great season, sorry it had to end in a loss, though.

The football team is playing better than ever. They only lost 3 games all season,  and only one of those in region. In the quarterfinals, they got to play at home against Grantsville.  Earlier in the season, Grantsville beat us in a shut out on homecoming night 14-0.  The game last night was amazing (so I hear, I had other commitments and couldn't be there). In a miracle, WE WON!  it was tied at halftime 14-14, then end of the third was 28-14 for Juab, and ended in a 28-21 win.  Unfortunately it ended on a sour note with confrontation. Neither team shook hands in the center of the field like usual at the end of the game.

Next week Juab plays against Judge Memorial (#1 in the state in 3AA) in the semi finals at SUU at 4pm.  It will be a great game, especially if Juab comes out to win as they have all season long.

GO WASPS!!

The Semi Final game was amazing, but sad. We played hard but it just wasnt enough. Our Quarterback broke his arm in the second possesion of the game and ended up having surgery the following Monday. He ws heartbroken as were his parents, but he is a junior and he still leads the state as the best QB passer.
The team continued fighting on with a backup, who actually was the starting QB last year.
The final score was 41-20 for Judge Memorial. We were tied twice in the game. 7-7, and 14-14, but some mistakes at the end of the game and tired guys. I know Judge didn't think we were going to come out so awesome, but we did great.    the score looks worse than it was. I haven't seen a better team in quite a while.  Who knows what would have happened if Nick has been able to play the entire game. Maybe we would've won, maybe we would've lost.     A few people think Judge wanted to take Nick out...If that's true too bad they didn't think they could win with him in.  4th place in state isn't so bad.  Can't wait for next year.
