Ciera Lundberg might not be the Dark Horse of the soccer team, but these girls are definitely the unsung heroes of PHS. Even though the girls have gone 3-2 in region, you’ll seldom see them on the headlines of the paper.

Ciera is a junior this year and starts on the Lady Lion’s soccer team. She’s been a starting player since her sophomore year. Number 11 and the teams forward, she’s having a great season so far with 10 goals so far.

               Cross country is a sport that is not often as publicized as other athletic events. But over the past month, the Payson High School cross country team has dominated in the various meets they have competed in.

The intersection at the UVU entrance has been re-designed, and will open just in time to affect the commute of those attending our high school graduations and practices held there. This new intersection type is the first of its kind in Utah County. UDOT has provided some helpful preview information in the Continuous Flow Intersection document provided by UDOT. There is also a video and other details found on their website.

This past year Payson High School has had the privelidge to have Mr. White as an assistant principal.

Sadly, we have to give him up to our hated rivals, Salem Hills High. They are incredibly lucky to have him, as he has been a great addition to this school. Maybe with Mr. White SHHS can finally be as cool as Payson.

“I’m not excited to leave Payson, but going over to Salem will be a new adventure,” said Mr. White. “I’ll miss interacting with the students and going to all the sporting events. I’ll really miss the color green.”
