Davis School District administrators have asked school board members to approve a contract with Pearson digital Learning for nearly $550,000 per year for five years for the contested reading program. The problem is, the parents say, that reading scores may actually have fallen over a three year period in local schools where the program was tested. The board tabled the issue for future consideration.

In this race, Grand had Will Alden, Drew DAgnese, Noe Jimenez, Nathan Johnson, Donald Keogh, and Sam Webster. These young men faired very well giving hope for the future of this team. An interesting finish in this heat was between Sam, Donald, and an unknown runner from Cedar High. Our two runners overtook the Cedar runner near the finish, but were not satisfied with that idea. Both runners decided to beat the other one with Sam edging Donald at the finish by 0.2 seconds. Because of the numbers the lady junior varsity had to split into two heats, Grand junior varsity had to wait a bit longer for their chance to hit the trail.

We should have beaten them (in Nephi last year), said GCHS head coach Dennis Wells. This year, however, Juabs offense made several big plays as the Wasps took control early on. Their running game is what killed us, said Wells. After allowing Juabs first touchdown, Grand was forced to punt, then both teams successively turned the ball over on downs. Then, with 3:18 left in the first, Juabs Trevor d Jones broke loose for a touchdown run. The extra point kick (made by lineman Jordan Guillory) was good, making the score 14-Grand couldnt advance the ball on its next possession, and Andrew Dalton was unable to get his punt offin time, and Juab recovered the ball line. at the Grand The Devils managed to force fourth down, but the Wasps then ran the ball to the line as time expired in the first quarter.

A few plays later, Dalton connected with Tony junior receiver Braun Black in the end zone for a touchdown pass.

Sarah and Randi both returned with a strong performance in a race that offered a variety of terrain similar to our home course. Amanda Carrigan with her guide Paula Radcliffe attacked the course with a vengeance. Amanda had to take on the hill just like any other runner and she did it masterfully.
