By Shideler Bennett, Glade Johnson This season, (Super Star) Courtney Acosta broke the record for most goals in a season with a whopping 13 goals. The previous record was 11. Courtney said, “I knew about the record but wasn’t trying to break it; it just happened.” She had some help from Shandy and Cassidy, who did a great job punching the ball up the field. “I didn’t know I had beaten the record until our game with Salem Hills at the end of the season,” said Courtney. Courtney is a very dedicated soccer player; she practices about 3 hours a day outside of actual soccer practice.

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
Spanish Fork High School students initiated a trip to the Bountiful game on their own, igniting school spirit amongst the Dons. The Dons had enough volition to organize an entire trip simply in order to support their team at its next game, showing pride and strength in their school’s spirit. It started with just a few students talking in the halls about how the school should go support our team at their big game in Bountiful. Annie Darling heard this and decided to get the ball rolling by heading into the office and discussing this idea with the Principal McKee.
