For the second consecutive season, Riverton High School is the 6A UHSAA Girls Softball Champion! The Silverwolves prevailed in an all-Jordan District Championship matchup over Bingham. The Miners won game one 3-1, but Riverton rallied to win game two 5-3, forcing a winner-take-all championship game. Bingham held a narrow 6-5 lead heading into the sixth inning in the decisive third game, but Riverton scored five runs in the bottom of the sixth and held on to win 10-7 and take home the trophy.

Riverton’s Peyton Sanchez finished with four hits, and Grace Leary hit a bases-clearing triple late to put the Silverwolves ahead for good. Congrats to both Riverton and Bingham for excellent seasons and to Riverton for capturing its fourth softball title in five years!

For the first time in school history, West Jordan High School is the UHSAA State Softball Champions! The Jaguars swept Salem Hills in the championship series, winning the first game 13-7 and the second game 6-5. Rita Tavita pitched all seven innings and had three hits in the clinching game, while Arianna Fjeldsted went 4-for-4 at the plate to fuel the West Jordan offense to the title.

Congrats to the Jaguars on an incredible season and for bringing home the first state championship for a girls’ sport in the school’s 44-year history!

French Dual Language Immersion students at Fox Hollow Elementary School presented “Les Fables de la Fontaine.” The packed gym was treated to musical performances of famous La Fontaine Fables that included “Le Lion et le Rat” (The Lion and the Mouse), “Le Corbeau et le Renard” (The Raven and the Fox), and “Le Cheval et L’ane” (The Horse and the Donkey). The entire program was done in French to showcase everything the DLI students had learned during the school year.

Félicitations to the students and merci to the faculty for all the work they do to make the French program at Fox Hollow a success.
