Two Copper Hills High Graduates to Enroll at the United States Military Academy

A high school student receiving an appointment to a United States Service Academy is a rare achievement, but Copper Hills High School has done something almost unheard of by having two students receive appointments to West Point to enroll in the United States Military Academy.

Both Asher Bowcutt and Zoe Hein are academic standouts with a 4.0 GPA and track and field stars who will take their talents to the Army right after graduating high school.

Asher was a captain on both the Grizzly football and track and field teams, where he holds school records in shot put and discus. Zoe was Senior Class President, a captain on the track team, a school record holder in the long jump, 100m, 200m, and relay races, as well as an AAU All-American. Both were named Academic All-State by UHSAA this year.

Congratulations to Zoe and Asher! Thank you for serving your country, and best of luck in your college endeavors at West Point.

Herriman Rugby Caps Incredible Season with Playoff Run

The Herriman Rugby team showed again why it is one of the country’s premier programs as the Mustangs fell just short of a National Championship. Herriman was one of eight teams in the country to be selected to compete for the Boys Single-School division title in Elkhart, Indiana. They started the tournament by defeating the defending champs, Gonzaga, 38-19. They then knocked off Xavier 22-15 before falling to St. Ignatius 22-17 in a hard-fought Championship game.

Congratulations to head coach Jeff Wilson, team captains Logan Youngblood, Lucky Fisi’ipeau, and Ryker Syddall, and the entire Mustang team for an amazing season. The team thanks Principal Todd Quarnberg and Herriman Mayor Lorin Palmer for their incredible support. A special thank you to all the coaches, parents, and fans who do so much to help support the team all season long.
