Amanda Smith (Junior) was one of 2 SHHS students chosen out of 50 for a spot in the Utah State art show (the other is Mckell Flick). Her entry was an acrylic painting in black and white of a girl. It is titled “boredom”. Amanda got this inspiration for this painting by a picture she had taken of a good friend of hers. “The picture showed great expression” Amanda said. When asked what her motivation was, Amanda said that Ms. Shuler was very encouraging of her work and persuaded her to enter the art show. When asked about how she felt about her art work being selected Amanda humbly stated “I’m just happy I did good at something I like to do.”

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
The Salem hills high school wrestling team topped off their season by placing four people in the top six at the state tournament. Derek mangleson 2nd, Dallin Gividen 4th Craig Finelay 6th and Chase Wilson 6th Prior to this year, the Skyhawks had only placed four people in state in there first two years of existence. “Placing four at state this year was a great accomplishment for the team.” Said head coach TJ Brindly. Since the team was consecutively ranked in the top ten in the state it was not easy to do so. “Region eight is a really tough region for wrestling,” said senior 171 pounder J.T. Atkinson. Payson, Maple Mountain, Springville, and Uintah all have strong wrestling programs. The team did well to get a leg up in region despite the difficulty. Although Graduating 16 seniors will be a hard hit to take, next year the underclassmen as well as coach Brindly are optimistic for next year. “We have one of the best JV teams in the state,” said Brindly, “ The underclassmen are ready to step up to help make a great team next year.” Along with many new faces next year the wrestling as well as all other Salem sports teams will be a force to be reckoned with in an entirely new region. With a lot of new faces and new teams, fans have a very exciting year to look forward to.

This year the sweetheart’s assembly blew everything out of proportion. The skits and highlight video’s took everyone off guard as all were amazed. The final contestants performed skits that included: a rap dance, a piano rendition of a popular farm song, and animal chase, to name a few. Clips were also shown of girls attempting to milk cows and grabbing cash off the backs of pigs and other farm animals. After all the judging, the winners were finally announced. Heather Bolz was Sweethearts Queen with Ashley Moody as 1st attendant and Malley Ballard as 2nd attendant. A smashing experience for all, the assembly created some fun and served as hype to what the Sweetheart’s dance would really be.

As divisional wrestling began to take place, Salem hills was proud to send twelve of their most elite wrestlers to compete in a tournament in which few prevail. Out of these twelve the Skyhawks sent nine to compete in the renowned state tournament: Derek Mangleson, Craig Findalay, Zack Darling, Chase Wilson, Spencer Davis, Scott Isacson, Stetson Talon and Walker Vantasle. Derek Mangleson has been a huge part of the Skyhawk team. Only a junior, Derek is a favorite to compete for the state heavy weight title. If Derek were able to achieve this amazing feat he would be the second to do so in Salem Hills’ history. He would join Philip Sorenson who won the state title at 189 last year. “Derek is a great wrestler.” said assistant coach Clay Denton. “He is strong in every aspect of the sport and should be a good contender.” A big part of a successful team is confidence in the coaches. And according to wrestler Nate Jellum they have that. “We trust our coaches to lead us to victory,” said senior JT Atkinson. All in all, the Skyhawk wrestling team will have a good challenging run in the state playoffs.
