Celebrations! The baseball team began their season in St. George for the Panther-Tiger Classic tournament. We ended the weekend with a 2-2 record. The boys played very well. We do have some things to improve on and clean up before region play, but we have many positive things to focus on. Game 1: Granger 14, Logan 2 Connor Casaday was the winning pitcher with Matt Clawson relieving him in the 4th inning. The team compiled 13 hits with Caden Cousins, Garrett Curtis, and Matt Clawson collecting extra base hits. Game 2: Pineview 5, Granger 3 Mitch Lindsey collected the loss as the pitcher being relieved by Noah Casias in the 6th inning. Patrick Rigby had 2 hits with Caden Cousins, Matt Clawson, and Mitch Lindsey each collecting one. Game 3: Granger 11, Moapa Valley 5 Patrick Rigby was the winning pitcher and Alex Wilson relieved him in the 5th inning. Caden Cousins had 2 hits with Weston Cousins, Matt Clawson, Connor Casaday having one each.
Game 4: Grantsville 4, Granger 3 Caden Cousins pitched 8 of the 9 innings, and had his best appearance on the mound. Cole Olsen came in relief. Cole Olsen lead the offensive charge with 3 hits, two of them doubles. Bradan Hovey, Garrett Curtis, Matt Clawson, Caden Cousins, Tyler Walker, Connor Casaday, and Patrick Rigby all had one hit. We had two all-state wrestlers this year, Brayden Knowlden (3rd place Super State) and Amata Tavai (6th place 5A State). This is quite an accomplishment considering we have only had four total in the last 14 years. Congratulations to these wrestlers for this accomplishment.
