It is like being a proud parent watching the Basketball Players this year. They are doing a wonderful job and now the boys basketball team just won the Region 20 Championship and will go to state in first place. Yippee, yahoo, wonderful, great, and good work to all of you. They won over Milford with a score of 7441. They played well and together like a team should. They had good defense, were good sports, and took care of the ball so it was such a good game. We are very proud of them for going all the way. They will play Wednesday at 11:30 A.M. in the Sevier Valley Center in Richfield. Not sure of the team yet but we sure wish them good luck and all. Coaches are Eric Jessen and Gary Syrett and they are very proud of their players. The tournament will go through Saturday and we want all Region 20 teams to know we wish you the best of luck. The players going from Bryce Valley are: Seniors Kace Roundy, Korde Chynoweth, Colton Roberts, and Hayden Johnson plus Jake Pearson, Eddie Dunham, Braxton Syrett, Cajun Syrett, Kasen Harris, Zach Chynoweth, Dirk Chynoweth, Logan Le Fevre, Hunter Mecham, Jacob Pollock, and Jesse Jessen. Named to the All Star Academic Team were Jake Pearson and Kace Roundy. Good work boys. A great big thank you to all the fans that supported the team either by being at Canyon View or watching on mysportsguys.com. We also thank the busdrivers, the parents, cheerleaders, and of course the coaches. A special note to the cheerleaders who work so hard and give so much support and school spirit to the team. They do a wonderful job and are coached by Mykelle Richards. They are: Seniors Darian Mathews and Chelsea Thompson. Others are Emilee Pierson, Alexis Tebbs, Krista Pearson, Lexi Le Fevre, Anna Bybee, Edith Garcia, and Michelle Syrett. Good work to all you beautiful and energetic cheerleaders.
