The Herriman girls captured its first top tier title with a 11-7 win over Park City which was a rematch of the 2018 and 2017 title games. The Herriman girls finally broke through and beat Park City. It was such a great game filled with tons of emotion. The Herriman boys team won the Class B title with a 12-10 win over Pleasant Grove. Judge beat Waterford, 9-7, for the Class C title. The Juan Diego girls beat Corner Canyon, 12-10 to claim the girls Division II title. 2018 @ Skyline High SchoolMay 19, 2018 saw both the boys and girls Park City teams take home the state championship trophy. The Park City boys beat Brighton, 7-6, while the girls beat Herriman, 10-7. Jordan beat Davis, 15-8, in the girls Division II title game. East beat Spanish Fork, 8-3, in the boys Class B game and Mountain Crest beat Ridgeline, 8-7 in overtime, to win the Class C title. It was fun to see Park City win both the girls and boys titles. 2017 @ Alta High SchoolOn May 20, 2017, Juan Diego beat Brighton, 10-9, in the Class A title game. The Park City girls beat Herriman, 16-8, to claim the Division I title. Olympus beat Weber, 12-8, in the girls Division II title game while Herriman beat Northridge, 11-8, in the boys Class B game and Box Elder beat Timpview, 6-5, in the Class C title game. 2016 @ Brighton High SchoolOn May 21, 2016, Brighton defended its home turf by taking home the boys Class A title with a 8-6 win over Juan Diego. Park City beat American Fork, 16-7, in the girls Division I championship game. The Juan Diego girls team beat Roy, 10-8, in the girls Division II title game while Waterford took home the boys Class B title, 6-2, over Bonneville. Westlake beat rival Lehi, 5-4 in overtime, to claim the Class C title. A Bubba Fairman led Brighton wasn't going to be stopped although Juan Diego did its best to try and stop him and the rest of the Bengal offense. The Brighton defense was no slouch either. I remember the Class C title game being packed with emotion since Westlake had just broken off from Lehi. 2015 @ Corner Canyon High SchoolEditor's Note: The rest of these were taken from a past post I wrote for Utah Lacrosse NewsThe crown jewel of lacrosse stadiums took center stage on May 16, 2015 in what would be an excellent day of lacrosse with 3 of the games being decided by one goal and one going to overtime. The day began with Roy taking down Copper Hills, 8-7, in the girls D-II title game. The Girls D-I title was settled in an epic battle between rivals Park City and Brighton. The Miners got the best of the Bengals that day, winning 13-12 in overtime. The newly formed Class C saw Bountiful take down Box Elder, 10-6. Class B saw the No. 6 seed win the Championship when Logan took down Copper Hills, 10-7. The Class A title went to the hosts when the Chargers beat Park City, 9-8. I loved having it at Corner Canyon, mainly because of the big press box. The Girls D-I game was one for the ages. Such a battle. I remember it being rainy and cold. It was a great day. The Chargers were stacked that year with Zack Franckowiak, Matt Graney, Cole Parkinson, Garrett Bullet, Quinton Mathie and Garrett Michaeli. This was obviously the foundation for what the 2021 version of the Chargers looks like today. 2014 @ Corner Canyon & Park City High SchoolsFive champions were be crowed over a Friday and Saturday in what was a great weekend of lacrosse. On Friday, May 16, 2014, Corner Canyon hosted the Utah High School Lacrosse League Championship between Corner Canyon and Brighton. The Bengals would come out on top, 12-10. On Saturday, May 17, 2014, Park City played host. The first game saw Lehi finally break through and get the Girls D-II title, beating Pleasant Grove 7-6. In the Girls D-I, host Park City took down Riverton, 11-8. In the Boys D-II, Sky View beat Syracuse, 9-3. In the nightcap, Park City took home the D-I crown with a 16-4 win over Herriman.I remember the UHSLL game on Friday night being absolutely packed. It was a sight to see. I was talking with Brae Burbidge and Renee Tribe about how cool of sight it was. On Saturday I remember Coach Freeman walking off the field in tears again, but this time as a champion. Park City girls finally got the monkey off their back and beat Riverton. Syracuse was missing Connor Meyer which made a big difference in that game. My favorite part from the boys D-I was the post-game interview with Coach Langendorf. So genuine, so much emotion.2013 @ Copper Hills High SchoolCopper Hills hosted the 2013 championships which saw some phenomenal games.In the first game, American Fork beat Lehi, 11-7, for the D-II girls crown. In Girls D-I, Skyline continued its dominance that season, beating Park City, 10-9. Waterford took home the boys D-II title with a 6-4 win over Syracuse. In Boys D-I, Juan Diego went back-to-back, beating Lone Peak, 8-4.I was honored to be named the ‘Person of the Year' this year which was truly humbling. It was also my 6th wedding anniversary. We spent it in the North end-zone eating Marley's Sliders. We laugh about it now but I'm not sure she thought it was funny at the time. I also liked the games at Copper Hills since I lived down the street. American Fork was solid that year. I felt so bad for Coach Freeman as he walked off the field in tears. Skyline was so good that year. The one memory I have from the JD v. LP game was Eric Mika towering over everyone and a Freshman in yellow gloves named Josh Stout for Lone Peak. Wonder what happened to him ;)2012 @ Brighton High SchoolBrighton High School During the Boys D-I Championship - Haslam PhotographyBrighton High School was the backdrop for one of the best championship days in recent history. Each game was settle by one goal! In Girls D-II, Timpanogos beat Viewmont, 9-8. In Girls D-I, Bingham beat Park City, 12-11 in 3 overtimes. In Boys D-II, Mountain Crest beat Waterford, 11-10. In Boys D-I, Juan Diego beat Alta, 9-8.It doesn't get much better than Brighton when it comes to hosting games. This was the year we tried to sell ‘Grow the Game' t-shirts. That was a mistake, but to those who bought one, thank you. The play on the field couldn't have been better. It was intense from start to finish. I remember the big ULA logo at midfield that I thought was pretty cool. I remember learning how girls overtime worked… I remember the Mountain Crest v. Waterford game being a brute v. brains type of game. Mountain Crest has some huge athletes that could score at will. Waterford of course, had a strict game plan and played with tempo and finesse as always. Juan Diego had a stellar team that year. Alta had its fair share of studs as well. Amazing game.2011 @ Park City High SchoolAfter a freak rain storm left Westlake High School soaked, Park City stepped up and hosted the championships. In Girls D-II, Waterford beat Viewmont, 7-5. In Girls D-I, Alta beat Bingham, 12-6. In Boys D-II, Spanish Fork beat Timpanogos, 8-7. In Boys D-I, Brighton beat Judge, 8-7.Honestly, I had never been to a state championship game. I played lacrosse in high school but never quite made it that far. Dave Allen ruined those chances in the 2002 semifinals with strong game plan. Needless to say, I didn't know what I was in for. I remember feeling bad for the league who had put a ton of time into getting the games at Westlake just to have it cancelled due to rain. My fondest memory from that day was when Spanish Fork Head Coach Phil Dunn held the trophy as tight as he could for as long as he could. It was also the tail end of a back-to-back for Brighton. They were good that year.Here's the rest of the boys state championships. If anyone has the girls list, send it to me please! 2010: D-I - Brighton 10 Park City 7, D-II - Timpanogos 7 Spanish Fork 62009: D-I - Bountiful 12 Judge Memorial Catholic 6, D-II - Orem 15 Sky View 92008: D-I - Bountiful 12 Jordan 6, D-II - Lone Peak 13 Woods Cross 92007: D-I - Alta 9 Judge Memorial Catholic 6, D-II - Timpview 10 Logan 92006: D-I - Waterford 13 Jordan 12 (OT), D-II - Logan 17 Timpanogos 92005 - Skyline 16 Riverton 132004 - Waterford 12 Juan Diego Catholic 52003 - Waterford 13 Jordan 112002 - Alta 9 Judge Memorial Catholic 8 (2OT)2001 - Judge Memorial Catholic 12 Waterford 112000 - Judge Memorial Catholic 13 Waterford 121999 - Bingham 9 Highland 61998 - Murray over Highland1997 - Highland over Waterford1996 - Highland over Orem1995 - Judge Memorial Catholic over Alta1994 - Sunnyside over WaterfordInstagram QuestionsI asked ULR Instagram followers to send in questions and thought I'd answer them here. I've selected a few of the better questions.What teams should have been in the Boys Division A bracket? I think it was actually pretty accurate in terms of the teams that were in the A bracket. You could argue Weber could have replaced Skyline but the teams that were there were the Top 16 teams. Was Lone Peak an underrated team? It's tricky because they had 6 losses. Now, those 6 losses were all to teams higher than them (Park City, Mountain Ridge, American Fork, Corner Canyon) so they could have been as high as a No. 9 seed. Let's say they were No. 9, then they are going up against No. 8 American Fork who beat them twice in the regular season. Say that they win that game, then they are playing No. 1 Corner Canyon for the third time. No. 10 seed would have been playing No. 7 Mountain Ridge who they lost to. Maybe they are No. 11 and beat Davis? Okay, then you have to play Farmington/Brighton (in this case Brighton). You win that game, then you're matched up with… Park City in the semis. TL;DR - You have to play CC or PC at some point if you want to win the title. Do you think the RPI does teams justice? The RPI itself is doing what it's supposed to be doing which is using a computer to calculate the best teams. Where teams felt/feel ‘injustice' is the fact they couldn't play a difficult schedule because of their regions. Let's say Farmington plays Bingham, Park City, Green Canyon instead of a second game against Woods Cross, Bonneville, Viewmont and maybe things are seeded different. They would still be a Top 16 team though so all we're really talking about is a different seed. I understand that seeds matter to teams/players/coaches but the way that I look at it is that you remember when you lost in the playoffs, but no one else does. It's the title games that most people remember which is why seeds don't matter because if you're a top 2 TEAM, no matter the SEED, you'll be playing in the Championship game. What's it going to take to beat Corner Canyon? It's going to take a perfect game from the opponent and a mistake filled game from the Chargers. Even in that case it's not a forgone conclusion. Strategy wise it's to somehow stop an offense with 4-5 guys that are lethal shooters and a defense that doesn't allow goals. Favorite game this year? If I've kept my records straight, I've been to 43 games this year between high school and college. Throw in my daughters 3rd/4th games and it's close to 50. A couple games standout in no particular order: Brighton v. Olympus girls regular season game on 5/7. Whoever won claimed the Region 6 title. I got there a little after halftime because I was at the boys Oly/Brighton game. It was a battle. Brighton scored with a little over a minute left then their goalie stopped a free position shot as time expired to win. The Weber v. Northridge boys game on 4/27 went to overtime which was fun. I was also at the Timpview v. Mountain Ridge boys game on 4/20 that went to overtime with Mountain Ridge winning 11-10. Farmington v. Wasatch that was a 2 goal win for the Phoenix was another classic game. Next school to go NCAA D-I in Utah? The age old question. It's probably going to be UVU. The question is then: when? I think COVID probably derailed any momentum there was as I haven't heard any talk of it lately. Seeing as how D-I has lost more teams (Furman, Hartford to D-III) then gained, I think it may be awhile before we see any new programs anywhere, let alone Utah. That's just my uneducated guess. I do think if UVU were to add, it would hopefully open up a better blueprint for other non-FBS football (or in this case, non-football) West Coast schools to add. That would be exciting as there are a ton of those: Chapman, any of the UC or Cal State schools, LMU, Weber State, SUU, Dixie State, Grand Canyon (although I don't see them adding since they used to be an NCAA school). If you look at non-football schools that have NCAA D-I Men's lacrosse, you have: Denver, Fairfield, Quinnipiac, Jacksonville, Bellarmine, Loyola, Mount Saint Mary's, UMBC, Boston, UMass Lowell, Detroit Mercy, Hofstra, Canisius, Manhattan, St. Bonaventure, St. John's, Siena, High Point, Cleveland State, Drexel, Saint Joseph's, Vermont and Marquette. That's a lot of teams in a similar athletic situation as UVU. What isn't similar is enrollment. UVU has almost 10,000 students more than the next closest school (Boston). Now, you could also argue that because UVU doesn't have football, the revenue isn't there to support a team but I think there is ways around that as the above schools have proven. 2017 IMLAX Youth Registrations If you're confused by the headline, let me explain. I took the number of 7th/8th grade youth players in 2017 and compared them to this years high school teams because those players then are Juniors and Seniors now. The theory is that a strong youth program leads to success on the field at the high school level. You can view the data above and make your own conclusions. Obviously another key to a successful high school program, besides youth program size, is quality coaching. There's a couple teams that didn't have complete data (Herriman, Park City) and it's certainly possible that this list isn't 100% accurate. NCAA QuarterfinalsBubba Fairman (Brighton) scored 1 goal in the 14-13 overtime win for Maryland over Notre Dame. Garrett Bullet (Corner Canyon) and Zack Franckowiak (Corner Canyon) both played for Rutgers in the 12-11 overtime loss to UNC. Men's Semifinals: UNC will take on Virginia at 10:00 am MT while Duke faces Maryland at 2:30 pm MT on Saturday, May 29. Women's: UNC takes on Boston College at 10:00 am MT while Northwestern takes on Syracuse at Noon MT on Friday, May 28. Remember kids, it wasn't long ago that the NCAA Semis/Finals were the only games on TV. Don't take it for granted. Also, congrats to the Lindenwood Women's team who won the NCAA D-II Championship. Ellie Faulk (Park City) had a goal in the title game. Aleksa Allen (Herriman) is also on the team.

No. 16 Skyline (10-5)Corner Canyon - Jon King 95G 45A, Mason Quick 84G 30ASkyline - Max Parker 29G 24A, Joe Goodman 28G 24ACorner Canyon Head Coach Aaron Ika said, “Coach Sanchez will have his team ready to battle and we know we will get their best game. We have a team made of of guys that step up game by game and week by week. King, Neilsen, Quick, DeGracie all lead statistically on offense but Franckowiak and Serrell are no slouches either. Santi, Hanks, Egan and White anchor a stingy aggressive defense. I am just excited for the playoffs and we know as a team that an undefeated season means nothing now that we are in the playoffs. The boys will not rest on what they did. They are ready to fight and compete for every play.”Skyline Head Coach Joe Sanchez replied to my email with, “Have you ever seen the movie Miracle?” Of course I have coach! No. 2 Park City (14-2) v. No. 15 Lone Peak (9-6)Previous Matchup: March 9, Park City won 21-18Park City - Connor Monson 49G 29A, Chase Beyer 44G 28ALone Peak - Garrett Haas 88G 38A, Luke Tucker 27G 31APark City Head Coach Michael Persky said, “Lone Peak has had one of the toughest schedules this year. They've been in every game and lost a couple by just a few goals including to us. They have probably the best player in the state in Garrett Haas. We expect this to be a battle. A bit of trivia: last year Lone Peak was boarding the bus to Park City when we all got the call that the season was canceled.”Lone Peak Head Coach Bruce Tucker said, “They are a great team. Many weapons and just solid players. We will need a big offensive game from Garrett Haas and great team defense anchored by Luke Tucker. We are excited for the match up and to get another shot at one of the best teams.”No. 3 Farmington (16-0) v. No. 14 Brighton (10-5)Previous Matchup: March 15, Farmington won 10-8Farmington - Cole Beynon 42G 20A, Brayden Buckley 41G 15ABrighton - Carter Budge 47G 14A, Marcus Gundersen 146 saves, 56% save percentageFarmington beat Brighton this season, 10-8, but that was almost two months ago. A lot has changed for both teams so I think this one should be a great game. If you look at the programs as a whole, Farmington has only played in one full-length playoff game, a 9-8 loss to Timpview in 2019. They did make it to the final game of the IMLAX summer tournament last year but lost to Fremont. Brighton on the other hand has won 4 state championships. No. 4 Olympus (14-2) v. No. 13 Timpview (12-4)Previous Matchup: April 14, Olympus won 13-8Olympus - Hutton Murphy 46G 40A, Carson Bennion 63% faceoffsTimpview - Devin Halversen 37G 39A, Joseph Ivins 34G 11ATimpview Head Coach Taylor Redd said, “Olympus is an extremely well-coached team. They play one of the best zones I've seen at the high school level. On top of that, they fly around the field with a ton of energy. Our guys are going to need to fly around the field and match their energy. We're going to need to play 100% energy for the entire night. Last time we played Olympus, we were missing Charlie Freedman, our leading goal scorer. It will be a team effort to win but having Charlie back will help us be much more explosive. We're excited to play Olympus again. They were the best team we played and we're excited to see how we've improved.”No. 5 Green Canyon (15-1) v. No. 12 Waterford (14-2)Previous Matchup: March 23, Green Canyon won 15-10Green Canyon - Mason Anderson 57G 50A, Jake Lundin 34G 36A 70% faceoffsWaterford - Mike Osborn 56G 33A, Jake Osborn 50G 25AGreen Canyon Head Coach Troy Oldham said, “They have a really talented faceoff specialist and their poles are very physical. We have been watching them closely since the last game, and we know they are a much-improved team from when we played them earlier this year. They are well-coached and have a ton of tradition with lacrosse so we know it's going to be a battle! Our two work-horses are Jake Lundin and Mason Anderson. While they are not our only great players, when they are both hot and playing well the rest of our team really clicks. We love having these two leaders in key positions on their field and they are both very generous in assists and able to score from multiple locations on the field. I'm so pleased with our defense this year, they have really stepped up and accepted the many challenges we have thrown at them. Jacob Regen and Luke Lee are our two senior poles who have played near-flawless games this past month and they are such fierce competitors. They are both pretty hyped to be in the playoffs and ready to play at an even higher level.” Waterford Head Coach Jack Matthews said, “We played Green Canyon earlier this year, so we know a little bit about them. Our boys are excited to get some revenge for our loss earlier in the season. It's a team game for us. We've had a balanced offense all year, and if we can get everyone involved and on the scoresheet we are tough to beat. The three 4A teams still alive would have made a great 4A state tournament, but we're excited to fight for this trophy.”No. 6 Davis (15-1) v. No. 11 Bingham (14-2)Davis - Rhett Rice 66G 32A, Blake Williams 37G 18ABingham - Logan Tew 51G 10A, Christian Jones 97 saves, 69% save percentage I don't see any reason why Davis wouldn't win this game. The only common opponent is Park City which both teams lost to, however, the Park City team that Davis played is a much different one than Bingham played. No. 7 Mountain Ridge (14-2) v. No. 10 Juan Diego Catholic (14-2)Mountain Ridge - David Wright 58G 31A, Dylan Ballard 65% faceoffsJuan Diego - Kyle Ebner 43G 16A, Andrew Bathurst 101 saves, 60% save percentage Both teams are 14-2 but the two losses for each team tell a different story. For Mountain Ridge, they lost to No. 1 Corner Canyon and No. 2 Park City. Juan Diego lost to No. 3 Farmington and No. 12 Waterford. The Mountain Ridge offense is too potent for the Juan Diego defense who has only played one Division A team in the last 9 games while beating 8 Division C teams. No. 8 American Fork (12-3) v. No. 9 Fremont (14-2)American Fork - Garrison Grimes 31G 9A, Zachary Bezzant 67% faceoffs Fremont - Carson Isaacson 51G 28A, Davis Searle 34G 38AI think American Fork feels they are better than the No. 8 seed so they'll have something to prove. The last two games have felt like playoffs games for the Silverwolves who are coming off a 15-14 loss to Davis and a 9-8 win over Weber. Boys Division B BracketFirst Round - May 18No. 1 Weber (12-4) v. No. 16 Roy (8-10)Previous Matchup: March 18, Weber won 12-9. April 20, Weber won 11-6.Weber - Ace Nichols 73G 49A, Squish Easley 49G 7ARoy - Colby Dickson 39G 16A, Samuel Kennedy 41G 2AWeber Head Coach Alex Gorton said, “I know they are a tough physical team. Sam Kennedy can score and has shown it in multiple games. This will be our third time seeing them this season. Roy is physical so if we can possess and win the groundball battle we'll be in good shape. Ace Nichols is the go-to impact player. Outside of him I'll look to Ammon Briggs to help possess the ball and run the offense. For Roy, Sam Kennedy knows how to score goals. Excited for Weber to host a home playoff game, that hasn't happened in a while. (Editor's Note: Best I can tell the last time Weber hosted a playoff game was 2011.)No. 2 Riverton (11-3) v. No. 15 Salem Hills (8-8)Previous Matchup: March 19, Riverton won 19-2Riverton - Jack Mortensen 41G 9A, Zane Johanson 54% faceoffs Salem Hills - Landon Buttars 46G 12A, Bryson Leary 69% faceoffsNo. 3 Sky View (10-5) v. No. 14 Maple Mountain (9-7)Sky View - Parker Robbins 35G 21A, Porter Jackson 167 saves, 58% save percentageMaple Mountain - Jacob Nelson 48G 5A, Casey Watkins 173 saves, 53% save percentageNo. 4 Alta (10-6) v. No. 13 Ridgeline (8-8)Alta Berkley - Horoba 34G 57A, Tyler Parry 114 saves, 59% save percentageRidgeline - Tyson Mckee 34G 29A, Dante Villa 37G 19AAlta Head Coach Brandon Horoba said, “On paper, they are a solid team and they have won some close games which shows they know what it takes to compete and win when the game is on the line. We are going to have to play a good game, take care of the ball and be aggressive on defense. It will take our team to put in a good effort for sure this will not be a game that is handed to us no doubt. I know they are going to come ready to play and we will have to bring that same intensity. Can't wait for the playoffs to start going to be a long week waiting for that first game.”No. 5 Wasatch (10-6) v. No. 12 East (6-7)Previous Matchup: March 16, Wasatch won 10-9 (OT)Wasatch - Gabe King 79G 32A, Josh Nokes 41G 46AEast - Petelo Tafisi 28G 6A, Gunner Longnecker 71 saves, 51% save percentageNo. 6 Bountiful (9-7) v.

The second round will be at the home field of the lower seed on May 19. No. 8 Judge v. No. 25 Utah Military AcademyJudge won both regular-season matchups, 12-0 and 14-1. The winner plays the winner of the Skyridge v. Payson game. No. 9 Skyridge v. No. 24 Payson Skyridge won the regular-season game, 18-1. The winner plays the winner of the Judge v. UMA game. No. 10 Timpanogos v. No. 23 Mountain CrestThe winner will take on No. 7 Highland. No. 11 Viewmont v. No. 22 Mountain ViewThe winner will play No. 6 Logan. No. 12 Orem v. No. 21 JordanBoth teams lost to the only common opponent, Waterford. The winner will face No. 5 Herriman. No. 13 Spanish Fork v. No. 20 LaytonThe winner will take on No. 4 Syracuse. No. 14 West Jordan v. No. 19 Woods CrossThe winner will face No. 3 Bonneville. No. 15 Springville v. No. 18 ProvoSpringville won the first meeting, 14-6. The winner will take on No. 2 Bear River.Springville Head Coach Jared Ottley said, “While we won the first game, we know they will be coming hungry. We can't come in thinking this will be an easy win. They want to win just as much as anyone. Jace Welsch is their man. He is the leader of their team. You can work to contain him but his high game IQ keeps him a threat and plays unselfishly...to a fault. He shoots well-placed rockets from anywhere on the field. If our full, first and second, midfield lines can show up healthy we can distribute the ball better in transition. We are pretty much where we wanted to be in the middle of Division C. More importantly, we raised interest in lacrosse here in Springville. More than anything we wanted to expose our community to the game and get them excited and wanting to be part of something special. It is awesome to see new faces at every home game.”No. 16 Cedar Valley v. No. 17 ClearfieldThe winner takes on No. 1 Pleasant Grove.Cedar Valley Head Coach Drew Rykert said, “Our opponent every week this year has been ourselves. The wins and losses haven't been determined by how good or bad our opponents were but by how good or bad we played as a team. But all the respect to Clearfield. Senior Captain Sam Woodruffs help on offense and Freshman goalkeeper Freeman Miyasaki will be the bookends of the game. To host a playoff game in the first year of our program is a good sign of great things to come!”Girls Division A BracketYou are invited to join the Tribal West Lacrosse Bracket Challenge. The winner of the girls Division A bracket challenge will get their choice of a camp entry to the Tribe Camp this summer, a $50 gift card to Tribal West or a $25 gift card to Tribal West. The second-place winner will get to choose between whatever the winner doesn't choose and the third-place winner will get whatever is left. First Round - May 18No. 1 Park City v. No. 16 West JordanThe Miners are the clear favorites to win the Girls Division A bracket and are led by Kendall Keblish (69 goals) and Samantha Riley (31 assists). The only common opponent is Herriman who Park City beat 17-4 where the Jaguars fell twice, 19-7 and 20-7. No. 2 Mountain Ridge v. No. 15 RidgelineThe lone loss for the Sentinels was to Herriman midway through the season. Mountain Ridge is averaging 18.1 goals per game while giving up just 4.6 per game. No. 3 Skyridge v. No. 14 Corner CanyonThis will be the third meeting between the squads with Skyridge winning both times by just one goal each. I suspect this one will come down to the wire despite the distance in seeds.Corner Canyon Head Coach Matt Kenning said, “I know a lot about them. Not only did we play them twice this season, but I coached this Junior class when they were Freshmen under the WSL team before sanctioning happened. I also coach their top field players on my club team, Force Elite. If we stick to our game plan, play relaxed and play clean then we may be able to win. As a 14 seed no one expects us to win. I think this is the best match-up of the opening round.”No. 4 Brighton v. No. 13 SyracuseThe Bengals were No. 10 at one point in the RPI but played themselves into the No. 4 slot. The stats favor Brighton who is led by Oregon commit Haley Taylor (66G, 14A). No. 5 Herriman v. No. 12 AltaThe Alta defense is allowing 6.6 goals per game compared to 7.8 for Herriman. I suspect this game could be closer than the seeds suggest. No. 6 Bear River v. No. 11 WaterfordThis could be the most intriguing matchup in any bracket. Waterford is scoring more points per game but the Bear River defense is allowing just 2.8 goals per game. One of the best players in the state, Navy-bound Jaimeson Meyer, enters the game with 102 goals on the season but lining up on the other side is Marley Kierstead who has 109 goals on the season. Waterford Head Coach Betsy Weidner said, “We know Bear River has had a great season, and that we haven't played a single common opponent. We know they have some excellent abilities to put the ball in the next, as they've scored many goals in each game they've played. For our team to win, we are going to have to stay disciplined. We have been working on some fundamental transition concepts, and those will be key to a victory on Tuesday. Chuck Iacobelli and Jaime Meyer will be huge for us on the draw and on the attacking end. We also know that we have to look out for Marley Kierstead! She's had an incredible season for Bear River. We've got a lot of hungry seniors on this team looking to prove that a small school can accomplish something big. We're stoked for the opportunity to compete in the Division A bracket for a second season.” No. 7 Davis v. No. 10 OlympusThis is a great first-round matchup for both teams. Both teams beat East by double-digits but fell to Brighton by 1 goal (Oly) and 2 goals (Davis). No. 8 Farmington v. No. 9 FremontThese two teams will be in the same region next year so this is a great preview of what lies ahead. The Phoenix lost its first game of the year, 16-2, to West Jordan and have won every game since but remain untested. Fremont lost to Syracuse and Davis with both losses coming in late March. Girls Division B BracketFirst Round - May 18No. 1 Riverton v. No. 16 WeberBoth teams are giving up about 10 goals per game on average but the Silverwolves are scoring 17.3 while Weber is at just 7.3 goals per game. No. 2 Wasatch v. No. 15 Green CanyonThe Wasps are the clear favorite on paper. Sophia Nielsen leads the way with 45 goals and 19 assists for Wasatch.No. 3 Box Elder v. No. 14 RoyBoth teams beat East but lost to Ridgeline by a close margin. This game could be closer than the seeds suggest. No. 4 Timpview v. No. 13 Pleasant GroveBoth teams beat Timpanogos in the regular season and both lost by a large margin to Olympus. Timpview lost to American Fork by 4 while the Vikings lost to American Fork twice, once by 10 and once by 6. Timpview scores more goals per game and gives up less so my vote would be with the T-Birds. No. 5 American Fork v. No. 12 Maple MountainBoth teams beat Springville but that's where the similarities end. The Cavemen won 16-0 while Maple Mountain won 13-6. No. 6 Mountain Crest v. No. 11 Lone PeakAs Kenzie said in the podcast, Lone Peak could be a dark horse in Division B.Lone Peak Head Coach Weslie Lundell said, “It's going to have to take very solid transitional passing and aggressive ground ball pickups, dominating the draw, and attacking the goal for us to walk away with the win. Which I know is possible. If my girls are on their game, there's no stopping them. I know they have a key shooter, Kamrie Wilkinson, and Taryn Durham knows how to fight for the ground balls but we can compete. With Freshman Kacee Kelley taking the draw and Camryn McCunes incredible midfield defense, we'll definitely see a good game come Tuesday.”No. 7 Provo v. No. 10 TimpanogosThis is a really nice matchup and I suspect this game will be close. The common opponents line up as you would expect with both teams losing to Mountain Ridge while beating fellow Utah County foes.Provo Head Coach Megan Jensen said, “They have great players, great coaches, and a history of being strong competitors. Our team will need to work well together, move the ball smoothly, and get more draw controls & ground balls then the other team. Our talent is spread across our team, but I think Sally Otterstrom, Fielding Adams, and Libby Jaynes will have a big influence on the outcome of the game. We feel like we've already done more than was expected of us, as a new team with only one experienced player, so we are thrilled with our postseason position. We are so excited to have a home game against a great team.” No. 8 Jordan v. No. 9 Juan DiegoThe 8/9 game is typically one of the best and I don't see why this one would be any different. Girls Division C BracketThese games will take place this Saturday, May 15. The Second Round will be on May 19 at the home field of the lower seed. No. 8 Judge v. No. 25 Salem HillsWinner plays the winner of No. 9 Payson/No. 24 West. No. 9 Payson v. No. 24 WestWinner plays the winner of No. 8 Judge/No. 25 Salem Hills. No. 10 Springville v.

No. 17 Spanish ForkWinner plays No. 1 Woods Cross.College UpdateAt the MCLA Invitational, BYU beat Liberty, 10-7. UVU lost to Georgia Tech, 17-6. The Cougars will take on Georgia Tech today at 11:30 a.m. CT. Georgia Tech's win over Utah Valley mirrored Chapman's win as the Yellow Jackets led just 5-3 after the first quarter, but slammed the door on the Wolverine offense, allowing just three more markers the rest of the way.Sam Eck paced the Jackets' offense with four goals while Devin Raun chipped in with a hat trick and three dimes. Gino Pagliaro and Robert Kruszeski combined for eight saves in the win.Chad Ranslow had three goals for Utah Valley while a pair of Wolverine goalies teamed up for six saves.Brigham Young capped off the day by rallying from a second-quarter deficit and held off the powerful Liberty offense. The Cougars led, 7-5 at halftime and allowed just two goals over the final two frames, backboned by Mason Moon's nine saves.Gavin Crist was the offensive catalyst for BYU, scoring four goals and setting up a fifth.Keaton Mohs had two goals for the Flames while Ryan Reynolds made 13 saves in net.Read the full recap here.

Good morning lacrosse fans. I really hate to start a newsletter off this way, but there was an incident at a game last week that left me sleepless. Please know that racism has no part in our society, let alone the lacrosse community. I've been to almost 30 games this year from Weber to Timpanogos and everywhere in between. Usually driving home I think about the game, the fans, the officials, the coaches, the players, and after most games, I think to myself, ‘we have to be better.' I say ‘we' because despite being on different teams and having different jerseys, we are all part of the lacrosse community, which, despite being the largest it's ever been, is still small. When our sport is shown favorably, it's favorable for all of us. When it's shown negatively, it's a notch against all of us. So let me take a moment to address some things I've seen:Everyone - It's not okay to use racist terms on the lacrosse field - ever. I'm not going to tell you how to live your personal life, but it has no place in the lacrosse community. Do better.Coaches - It's not okay to taunt or mock a player on the opposing team - ever. It's also not okay to degrade the people working the table or talking to opposing fans while coaching. Also, please fill out the officials' feedback form so we can help improve that aspect of the game too. Do better.Assistant Coaches - Stop yelling at the refs. You ask your players to abide by the rules so you should too. Do better.Officials - Let's be honest, some refs are there to collect a check and go home who have no interest in helping the game. This is bad for our sport. If this is you, please stop. Also, please take control of games that are getting out of hand. It's not hard to see it. Do better.Fans - If you're an adult yelling at an opposing player (14-18 year old) then you need to stop. Do better.With all that said, I've been to games this year where the fans have been great, the coaches have coached well and the officials have been excellent but unfortunately, it's rare. We need to be better at trying to make this scenario more common and it takes all of us, not just one team or one ref or one coach.I feel the season as a whole has been a success. It hasn't been without hiccups or controversy, but overall, Year 1 of sanctioning has been what I thought it would. It's a bittersweet time of year. The regular season is ending but playoffs are on the horizon.As a heads up, the playoff brackets will be revealed on Wednesday morning. I think they will be released on the UHSAA Twitter account but also on MaxPreps. Also, I try to be respectful to your inbox but I'm likely going to send 2-3 newsletters per week as I do my best to cover the playoffs. Interview w/ Alta Head Coach Brandon HorobaAlta Head Coach Brandon HorobaMy podcast guest this week is Alta Head Coach Brandon Horoba. Horoba starting coaching at Alta in 2002 then went to Brighton from 2009-2016. While with Brighton, he won 3 state championships as a head coach and one as an assistant coach. After Brighton, Horoba coached at UVU for one season then went back to Alta in 2018. Horoba has also been part of a handful of club programs as well. In this episode, we talk about each one of his coaching stops, breaking away with the UHSLL, club lacrosse and more. You can listen to the latest podcast above or on Apple Podcasts or Spotify. Don't forget to subscribe and leave a rating!Look, if you haven't been to Vessel Kitchen yet, that's okay. However, you should make a goal to do it soon, it's great food by great people. It has locations in Midvale, Sandy, 9th + 9th and Kimball Junction.Week 9 Coaches PollsNo. 1 Corner Canyon - The Chargers beat Skyridge, 21-2, on Tuesday then sent No. 6 American Fork home with a 20-4 loss on Friday. Corner Canyon hosts No. 10 Lone Peak on Tuesday in the finale for both teams. No. 2 Olympus - The Titans beat Pleasant Grove, 13-7, on Wednesday and won Region 6 on Friday with a 16-2 win over Brighton. Olympus hosts No. 4 Park City on Tuesday in the finale for both teams. The game will be broadcast on the Game Night Live Rewind YouTube channel or KSL Sports.No. 3 Farmington - The Phoenix beat Bonneville, 15-6, on Wednesday and Woods Cross, 16-4, on Friday. Farmington will head to Bountiful on Monday. If Farmington wins, they will win Region 5 outright. If Bountiful wins, the two teams will be co-champs. Mountain Ridge @ Park City - Full gallery hereNo. 4 Park City - Park City beat Payson, 27-0, on Monday then came from behind to beat No. 5 Mountain Ridge, 11-8, on Saturday. The Sentinels led 6-2 at the half but Park City came out of the second half and won the quarter, 5-2, making it 8-7 for Mountain Ridge heading into the final frame. Park City scored 4 goals and allowed 0 to win, 11-8. Freshman goalie AJ Silianoff, who came in at halftime, had 4 saves for the Miners to secure the victory for Park City. The Miners will take on No. 2 Olympus on Tuesday. No. 5 Mountain Ridge - Mountain Ridge beat Timpanogos, 25-3, on Tuesday and Mountain View, 20-0, on Thursday, then fell to No. 4 Park City, 11-8, on Saturday. (See above for details from this game.) No. 6 American Fork - The Cavemen survived a scare from Westlake on Tuesday, winning 7-6, then lost to No. 1 Corner Canyon, 20-4, on Friday to finish the regular season. No. 7 Green Canyon - Two big wins for the Wolves by a combined score of 38-4 set up a season finale against Box Elder on Monday. No. 8 Davis - The Darts beat Layton, 20-0, on Tuesday then narrowly defeated Fremont on Thursday, 15-14. The game was tied 8-8 at halftime and Fremont scored to tie the game at 14 with less than 20 seconds left. Rhett Rice won the ensuing faceoff for Davis, found Mason Kilgore wide open who started a fast-break then found Blake Williams who buried it for the go-ahead goal. The Darts rushed the field and got a penalty so Fremont started with the ball at the midline with 5 seconds left and a man up and took shot but Davis goalie Kache Allen made a great save to preserve the win. You can watch the game-winning goal here. No. 9 Timpview - The T-Birds beat Mountain View, 19-1, on Tuesday and will take on Orem this Tuesday. Lone Peak @ Pleasant Grove - Full gallery here.No. 10 Lone Peak - The Knights beat Pleasant Grove, 21-11, on Tuesday and Westlake, 8-6, on Thursday. Lone Peak will finish its season on Tuesday at No. 1 Corner Canyon. Region StandingsRegion 1: Davis - Will likely go 14-0 in Region 1. They play Syracuse on Tuesday.Region 3: Bingham leads at the moment but if Riverton beats the Miners on Tuesday, Bingham and Riverton would be co-champs. Region 4: Corner Canyon - Will likely go 10-0 in Region 3. They play Lone Peak on Tuesday.Region 5: Farmington has the advantage but plays Bountiful on Monday. Should the Braves win, they would be co-champs with Farmington. Region 6: Olympus - Champ, 4-0 in Region 6.Region 7: Mountain Ridge - Champ, 12-0 in Region 7.Region 8: Park City - Champ, 7-0 in Region 8.Region 10: Juan Diego & Waterford are co-champs. Region 11: Green Canyon - Champ, 10-0 in Region 11.RPI Update / BracketsI, like you, was also shocked that the UHSAA RPI was taken down on Wednesday. I was told it was to create a little excitement around the bracket release and also take time to make sure all the scores are entered and the RPI is correct. With that said, Taylor Redd and Jordan Harris took the time to recreate the RPI and they published it here. It will be updated the remaining two days of the season for the 15 games left. Here is what the brackets would look like if the season ended today. Region 9 ChampsThe Southern Utah teams that comprise Region 9 held a championship on Saturday with Snow Canyon beating Canyon View, 9-1. Let's hope we can get these teams included in the UHSAA next season! No. 1 Park City - The Miners continue to roll with a 23-0 win over Payson, 26-1 win over Provo and 16-3 win over Lone Peak last week. The Miners host No. 5 Olympus on Tuesday to conclude the season. No. 2 Skyridge - Skyridge narrowly beat No. 10 Corner Canyon on Tuesday, 9-8, then beat Pleasant Grove, 15-5, on Thursday. The Falcons will travel to Highland on Tuesday. No. 3 Brighton - The Bengals beat No. 5 Olympus on Friday, 13-12, to claim the Region 6 title. Brighton pulled ahead on a goal by Hunter Doyle with a little over a minute left. Olympus won the ensuing draw and possessed, earning a free-position shot with 10 seconds left. On the whistle, the Olympus player dodged then shot high but was saved by Hailey Bangerter who held on to the ball to secure the win. See my attempt to film it here. Brighton travels to No. 9 Davis on Monday then hosts No. 4 Mountain Ridge on Tuesday. The latest public RPI had Brighton at No. 10. No. 4 Mountain Ridge - The Sentinels dominated Timpanogos on Tuesday, 14-2, then beat Mountain View, 20-1, on Thursday. Mountain Ridge travels to No. 3 Brighton on Tuesday. No. 5 Olympus - The Titans beat rival Skyline on Wednesday, 20-0, then fell to No. 3 Brighton, 13-12, on Friday. The Titans will take on No. 1 Park City on Tuesday. No. 6 Waterford - The Ravens bested Cedar Valley on Tuesday, 23-2, and will take on Woods Cross on Tuesday. No. 7 Herriman - The Mustangs weren't tested in its two games this week as they beat Bingham, 22-3, on Tuesday and West Jordan, 20-7, on Thursday. Two region games remain for the Mustangs: Monday at home against Riverton and Tuesday at West. No. 8 Alta - The Hawks beat Lehi, 18-0, on Tuesday and beat Orem, 28-3, on Thursday. The Hawks host Timpanogos on Tuesday. No. 9 Davis - The Darts lost for the first time this season on Thursday in overtime to Fremont. You can see the game-winning goal here. Davis hosts No. 3 Brighton on Monday and travels to Syracuse on Tuesday. No. 10 Corner Canyon - The Chargers re-enter the polls after taking No. 2 Skyridge to the end, but lost, 9-8. Both times these two teams have played, Skyridge has won by 1. Corner Canyon then beat American Fork, 10-8, to finish the season. Region StandingsRegion 1: Davis - In theory, they haven't clinched the region since they still play Syracuse. If Syracuse wins (they lost in the first meeting, 17-6) and Fremont beats Weber, there would be a three-way tie for first. Of course, if Davis wins on Tuesday, they are the lone region champ at 13-1. Region 3: Herriman - Even if the Mustangs lose to Riverton on Monday, they likely won't lose to West on Tuesday, thus, pending bizarre results, the Mustangs are the lone region champ at 12-0.Region 4: Skyridge - Champ, 10-0 in Region 4Region 5: Farmington - Champ, 10-0 in Region 5Region 6: Brighton - Champ, 4-0 in Region 6Region 7: Mountain Ridge - Champ, 12-0 in Region 7 Region 8: Park City - Technically haven't clinched since they play one more region game but let's be honest, they'll win and be 8-0 in Region 8. Region 10: Waterford - Champ, 4-0 in Region 10Region 11: Bear River - Champ, 10-0 in Region 11Interesting that all but one region had its champion go undefeated in region play. Q&A with Brighton Senior Haley TaylorBrighton Senior Haley Taylor | c/o Scott OsbornMy Q&A today is with Brighton Senior and team captain, Haley Taylor, who leads the 13-0 Bengals offense with 71 goals and 14 assists. Tylor has had multiple 7 point or more games including 7 goals and 5 assists against Jordan. Taylor is committed to playing NCAA D-I lacrosse at the University of Oregon and study Architecture. “HayTay Taylor is incredible on and off the field,” said Brighton Head Coach Melissa Nash. “She is the first girl that will grab your eye in any lacrosse game. She plays with such energy and grace that you are naturally drawn to her, whether she has the ball or not. She makes everything she does look easy - from her draw controls, big ground balls to her powerful shots - left and right-handed. She is fun to watch and fun to coach. Haley puts in more work on her game than anyone, while also taking 3 AP classes (just this year), being a National Merit Scholar and Sterling Scholar. Aside from her stick skills, pure speed and big brain academics (and her incredible art), HayTay is a good person. She cares about her teammates, respects her coaches and is a good example to everyone around her. I feel lucky to have watched her grow up the last 4 years and can't wait to see what comes next for her.”5 Questions w/ Haley TaylorTH: When/why did you start playing lacrosse? HT: I started playing in 5th grade, but I started club in 7th.TH: What is your favorite part about lacrosse?HT: My favorite part about lacrosse is the creativity that comes with it. Because the sport is still so new and growing, anything goes. TH: What is your stick of choice?HT: My favorite stick is the Epoch Purpose 15 degree with ladder stringing. TH: Favorite field to play lacrosse on?HT: Papé field at Oregon!TH: How/why did you pick your jersey number?HT: #22 was pretty random for me when I chose it. However, Gary Gait (one of the best players of all time) wore #22 while at Syracuse which is pretty cool.College UpdateWestminster beat No. 18 Colorado Mesa in the RMAC tournament final on Saturday, 17-13 (Recap), and Spencer Whinery was named All-Tournament MVP.

Good morning lacrosse fans. Thank you for taking time out of your day for the Utah Lax Report. If you have any questions or feedback, feel free to shoot me a note: tim@timhaslam.com.Interview w/ Alta Head Coach Moriah GreensteinThis week I spoke with Moriah Greenstein who has been the head coach of the Alta girls team for the past three years. Greenstein hails from Glenmont, New York where she anchored the Bethlehem High School offense and played college lacrosse at Bates College in Lewiston, Maine. While at Bates, Greenstein set the school record for assists in a season and career. In this podcast, we talk about all things girls lacrosse.

However, you should make a goal to do it soon, it's great food by great people. It has locations in Midvale, Sandy, 9th + 9th and Kimball Junction.Week 7 Coaches PollsNo. 1 Corner Canyon - The Chargers bested No. 4 American Fork on Tuesday, 15-9 (Highlights). The difference in this game was the second quarter when the Chargers scored 6 and allowed 0. The third quarter is the only quarter the Chargers have lost this season when American Fork scored 3 and Corner Canyon just 2. These two will play again on May 7. Corner Canyon followed up the win with a 21-4 victory over Pleasant Grove on Friday. A second matchup against Westlake on Tuesday and the first meeting against Lone Peak on Thursday will take the Chargers into May. Fox13 did a video special about the Chargers. Watch it here. No. 2 Olympus - The Titans continued to win with a 11-1 victory over East on Tuesday and a 15-3 drubbing of rival Skyline on Friday. Olympus plays one game this week when they head to Highland on Wednesday. No. 3 Farmington - The Phoenix beat region foes Woods Cross, 18-0, and Box Elder, 18-4. Three games this week begins on Monday at Bountiful, then home games against Viewmont on Wednesday and Bountiful again on Friday for Senior Night. No. 4 American Fork - After a ‘good loss' to No. 1 Corner Canyon, the Cavemen squeaked out a victory over Lone Peak on Thursday, 11-10, in double overtime. Harry Lisonbee scored the game-winning goal, which was one of 5 total goals on the night for the Senior. The Cavemen will face Pleasant Grove on Tuesday and Skyridge on Thursday. No. 5 Mountain Ridge - What a week for the Sentinels. It all started on Tuesday with an 11-10 overtime win against region rival Timpview (Deseret News recap). I was on the call with Dane Stewart for Game Night Live Rewind and it was a blast. You can watch the game here. Jack Crawford scored the game-winning goal for Mountain Ridge. On Thursday, the Sentinels beat Orem, 14-2, then on Friday, beat Brighton in overtime, 13-12. This time it was Gavin Gann with the game-winner. Winning two games in overtime in one week is quite the heart check for fans. No. 6 Park City - After six straight blowouts, the Miners will be chomping at the bit as it hosts No. 9 Brighton on Tuesday and Wasatch on Friday. No. 7 Green Canyon - The Wolves continue to dominate Cache Valley with wins over Mountain Crest, 19-1, and Ridgeline, 22-6 (Herald Journal recap). Three games this week begins on Monday at Bear River, Wednesday at Logan and home against Sky View on Friday. No. 8 Davis - The Darts edged Northridge on Tuesday, 17-11, and beat Weber, 19-15, on Thursday. This week features games against Clearfield and Roy. Assuming Fremont wins its remaining games, the May 6 showdown should decide Region 1. No. 9 Brighton - After beating Maple Mountain on Monday, 23-3, and Skyline on Wednesday, 18-5, the Bengals fell to Mountain Ridge in overtime, 13-12. Brighton faces Park City on Tuesday and East on Wednesday. No. 10 Fremont - The Silverwolves beat region Syracuse and Roy and will take on Layton and Clearfield this week. Fremont is 10-1 with a lone loss to Davis, 12-8, on March 23.Other articles from this week include a Daily Herald piece on Cedar Valley, a West Jordan Journal article highlighting West Jordan and Copper Hills boys and girls programs, The Herald Journal covering the Sky View v. Mountain Crest game, and a couple photo galleries from the Cache Valley Daily: Green Canyon v. Ridgeline, Logan v. Bear River, Sky View v. Ridgeline, Mountain Crest v. Sky View girls and Bear River v. Sky View. If the season ended today, here's what the playoff brackets would look like:Boys Division ABoys Division BBoys Division CIf we look at the first round matchups from Division A, here's some observations. I'm generally in favor of a RPI (not necessarily this RPI) but I get frustrated looking at some of these games. Corner Canyon v. Lone Peak - these two teams will have played twice already by this point. A third matchup is unnecessary. Farmington v. Skyline - these two teams already played. Farmington won 17-7 in a game that was never close. Mountain Ridge v. Timpview - again, another region game in the first round. Now, I think it would actually be a great game seeing as their other two matchups have been great, but I don't love a region game in the first round. Green Canyon v. Brighton - Green Canyon already won this matchup, 10-8. American Fork v. Park City - AF won this game 14-12. Of the eight games, five have already been played and two would be a third matchup. Not great. What if we seeded these by taking the nine region winners (assuming region standings finish where they are today), using the RPI to seed them, then taking the next best seven teams by RPI. Here's what that would look like: No. 1 Corner Canyon v. No. 16 Weber No. 2 Olympus v. No. 15 SkylineNo. 3 Farmington v. No. 14 WaterfordNo. 4 Davis v. No. 13 TimpviewNo. 5 Mountain Ridge v. No. 12 BrightonNo. 6 Green Canyon v. No. 11 American ForkNo. 7 Park City v. No. 10 FremontNo. 8 Juan Diego v. No. 9 BinghamOnly two duplicate games (Oly/Skyline, Mtn. Ridge/Brighton). I also like the geographic implications more with this method. No. 1 Park City - The Miners played three straight games (Wed/Thur/Fri), winning all three by the combined score of 61-3 including a 15-2 win over No. 8 Alta. The Miners play Wasatch this Friday. No. 2 Skyridge - The Falcons also played three games this week that began with a 16-4 win over Pleasant Grove and a 19-1 win over Westlake. On Friday, the Falcons bested No. 5 Olympus, 12-6, which is a big win for the Skyridge program. The Falcons travel to Lone Peak on Tuesday and host American Fork on Thursday. No. 3 Brighton - The Bengals remained undefeated after wins against Skyline (19-0) and Bingham (27-2). Brighton will travel to East on Wednesday and Lone Peak on Friday. No. 4 Mountain Ridge - The only game this week for the Sentinels was a 25-1 win over Orem. On Tuesday, Mountain Ridge will host Lehi then travel to No. 8 Alta on Thursday. On Friday, they'll head to Timpview. No. 5 Olympus - After beating East on Wednesday, 21-2, the Titans fell to No. 2 Skyridge, 12-6. The Titans will take on Highland on Tuesday for Senior Night. No. 6 Waterford - The Ravens bested Judge, 23-3, on Tuesday and will take on Jordan this Friday. Ravens Senior Jaimeson Meyer sits at second in the state for goals (78), first for assists (27) and first in points (105). No. 7 Davis - A 24-2 win over Northridge and a 17-2 thrashing over Weber highlighted the Darts week. This week, Davis will take on Clearfield and Roy. No. 8 Alta - On Tuesday, Alta beat Mountain View, 22-2, then lost to No. 1 Park City, 15-2. The Hawks will take on Timpview on Tuesday and No. 4 Mountain Ridge on Thursday. No. 9 Herriman - The Mustangs beat West Jordan, 19-5, and Highland, 15-7. Up this week will be Jordan on Tuesday and Copper Hills on Thursday. Herriman is 8-2 with the losses coming to No. 1 Park City and No. 2 Skyridge. No. 10 Corner Canyon - The Chargers had two, one-goal wins this week: American Fork, 15-14, on Tuesday and Pleasant Grove, 16-15, on Thursday. Corner Canyon will travel to Westlake on Tuesday and Lone Peak on Thursday. In the paper this week, The Herald Journal covered the Mountain Crest v. Ridgeline girls game. If the season ended today, here's what the playoff brackets would look like.Girls Division AGirls Division BGirls Division CIn Division A, if the seeds held true, we'd have Park City v. Davis and Olympus v. Skyridge in the semifinals. I feel those would be some excellent games. Should be fun to see this bracket play out. If we seeded the Division A bracket by taking the nine region winners (assuming region standings finish where they are today), using the RPI to seed them, then taking the next best seven teams by RPI. Here's what that would look like: No. 1 Park City v. No. 16 RidgelineNo. 2 Skyridge v. No. 15 West JordanNo. 3 Olympus v. No. 14 Corner CanyonNo. 4 Davis v. No. 13 SyracuseNo. 5 Mountain Ridge v.

Odencrantz had 1 goal and 5 assists for the Griffins. Easton Albert (Brighton) had 5 goals. The Griffins will take on Colorado Mesa on Friday in Grand Junction, CO.BYU takes on UVU on Saturday at 1:00 p.m. in Provo.

WomensWestminster lost to Fort Lewis on Friday, 13-12 (Recap | Box Score) but beat Adams State, 22-1 (Recap | Box Score), on Sunday. Eden Freiberg (Hurricane) had 12 goals and 2 assists overall in both games to lead the Griffins. Westminster will host Colorado Mesa on Saturday at 1:00 p.m.Q&A with Green Canyon Senior Mason AndersonGreen Canyon Senior Mason AndersonMy Q&A today is with Green Canyon Senior Mason Anderson who leads the Wolves with 36 goals and 36 assists including 6 goals and 6 assists against Mountain Crest. Anderson is committed to play at Adams State. “Mason is our cool-headed leader on a team of some really even-tempered seniors,” said Green Canyon Head Coach Troy Oldham. “He loves the game of lacrosse and has played it with a passion for most of his life. He's also very elusive, he doesn't move or approach a dodge like he is fast, and then he accelerates and is past you. He's a natural lefty, but you'd never know it because he works equally as hard on his non-dominant hand. He's the kind of player that if I pulled him and told him to go get two more buckets, he'd just go do it. I honestly think he's one of the best attackmen in the state, and his stats are a good foundation for that claim. Lastly, he's just a really good human being, he's a leader, and with all his aggressive play he's very rarely in the penalty box.” 5 Questions w/ Mason AndersonTH: When/why did you start playing lacrosse? MA: I decided to try lacrosse after I went to my cousins wedding down in Arizona. They love lacrosse and would go outside and shoot with me to help me get more interested. This was around 3-4 grade.TH: What is your favorite part about lacrosse?MA: My favorite is scoring G's and celebrating with the team. TH: What is your stick of choice?MA: Head: Maverick Tactik. Shaft: StringKing Composite 175TH: Favorite field to play lacrosse on?MA: Judge Memorial TH: How/why did you pick your jersey number? MA: When I was little my dad chose it and I've just stuck with it.That's it for this week.

Interview w/ Goose It Lacrosse Founders, New No. 2 Teams, Q&A w/ Syracuse A/M Brooklyn Suttlemyre

Good morning lacrosse fans. Thank you for taking time out of your day for the Utah Lax Report. If you have any questions or feedback, feel free to shoot me a note: tim@timhaslam.com. Interview w/ Goose It Lacrosse Founders Jackson & Boston EarlI'm very excited about this podcast because it's about local small business and giving back, both of which are things I love. Jackson and Boston Earl started Goose It Lacrosse after noticing the lack of lifestyle focused lacrosse apparel. I also love that they donate 10% of proceeds to JDRF which is a Type 1 diabetes research fund. You can find out why by listening to the podcast. Check out their website: gooseitlax.comYou can listen to the latest podcast above or on Apple Podcasts or Spotify. Don't forget to subscribe and leave a rating!While you're out and about at games, stop by Vessel Kitchen. Vessel Kitchen has locations in Midvale, Sandy, 9th + 9th and Kimball Junction.Before we dive in, I'd like to thank Patrick Carr from the Standard-Examiner for his article this week about lacrosse. We had a long chat about the history of the game and more. Go check it out here. Also, Dusty Litster and Dane Stewart from Game Night Live on KSL did a great 18 minute recap of the lacrosse action so far. You can watch it here. If all goes well, I should be joining the GNL team in the booth this week and I'm really looking forward to it. Week 6 Coaches PollsNo. 1 Corner Canyon - The Chargers beat Skyridge, 26-0, on Thursday and will face No. 5 American Fork on Tuesday. Corner Canyon has scored 20 or more goals in its last five games. I'm not certain that will change here but American Fork only gives up 5.7 goals per game on average. No matter the score, I suspect Corner Canyon will win by at least 8 as a conservative estimate. No. 2 Olympus - The Titans beat Timpview, 13-8 (Highlights), on Wednesday and Alta, 10-5, on Friday, which is likely why they jumped to the No. 2 spot over Farmington. The Titans are still No. 3 in the RPI but have a much tougher schedule than Farmington, so I suspect if they continue to win, they'll jump Farmington there too. Olympus takes on region foes East on Tuesday and Skyline on Friday, which could be a great chapter for the rivalry. When will we see a lacrosse traveling trophy for this rivalry like ‘The Rock' for their football rivalry? I believe Waterford/Judge has an old bucket helmet that has been used as a traveling trophy in the past. I'd love to see more traveling trophies to be honest. No. 3 Farmington - After a midweek contest with Bountiful was rescheduled due to weather, the Phoenix beat Bonneville, 18-4, on Friday. Only region games remain on the schedule, with games against Woods Cross and Box Elder this week. No. 4 Mountain Ridge - One of the better games on the schedule for the week will take place on Tuesday when the Sentinels host Timpview on Tuesday. Mountain Ridge won the first game in the series, 13-11, on March 15. No. 5 American Fork - The Cavemen beat Skyridge, 17-4, on Tuesday, then edged Westlake, 12-7, on Thursday. A tough week lies ahead with No. 1 Corner Canyon on Tuesday, then Lone Peak on Thursday. No. 6 Park City - A 19-4 win over Spanish Fork and two region games this week (Maple Mountain & Salem Hills) set the stage for potentially the toughest remaining schedule of any team. After this week, the Miners host No. 9 Brighton (4/27), Wasatch (4/30) and No. 4 Mountain Ridge (5/8) then have a regular-season finale at No. 2 Olympus on May 11. No. 7 Green Canyon - The Wolves bested Sky View, 17-3, on Wednesday and will take on Mountain Crest on Wednesday and Ridgeline on Friday. No. 8 Davis - The Darts beat Layton, 18-0, on Tuesday then beat Highland, 16-1, on Thursday. The Darts have two great road games this week beginning with Northridge on Tuesday and Weber on Thursday. No. 9 Brighton - The Bengals re-enter the poll after a 13-4 win over Bountiful on Tuesday and an 18-4 win over Copper Hills on Thursday. Brighton will play three home games this week: Monday against Maple Mountain, Wednesday versus Skyline and No. 4 Mountain Ridge on Friday. The Bengals finish the season with No. 6 Park City (4/27), East (4/28), Highland (5/5) and No. 2 Olympus on May 7 in a game that will likely determine the Region 6 champion. No. 10 Juan Diego - It will be interesting how the RPI treats the Soaring Eagle moving forward. After a 12-4 win over Judge on Tuesday they stayed at No. 4 in the RPI but after a 20-0 win over UMA on Friday, they dropped to No. 6. If we look at the five remaining games for Juan Diego, the opponent's RPI is as follows: Cedar Valley (48), Waterford (12), Judge (43), UMA (58), Cedar Valley (48). Obviously, these numbers change daily, but let's just say that the Waterford game on 4/27 is a must-win for both Juan Diego and Waterford. My uneducated guess is that the winner will stay in the bottom of the Division A bracket while the loser will go to the Division B bracket. Waterford remaining schedule: Judge (43), Juan Diego (6), Jordan (56), Cedar Valley (48), Judge (43), UMA (58). It will be interesting to see what these games will do the the Ravens RPI as well. If the season ended today, here's what the playoff brackets would look like: Boys Division ABoys Division BBoys Division CWe're getting into the heart of region play so let's see how those are shaking out. Region 1 (In region record): Davis (7-0), Fremont (6-1), Weber (4-2), Northridge (4-3), Syracuse (3-4), Roy (2-5), Clearfield (1-5), Layton (0-7)Region 3: Bingham (6-0), Riverton (4-1), Copper Hills (2-2), Herriman (2-3), West Jordan (2-3), Jordan (1-4), West (0-4)Region 4: Corner Canyon (3-0), American Fork (4-0), Lone Peak (2-1), Westlake (2-2), Pleasant Grove (0-4), Skyridge (0-4)Region 5: Farmington (3-0), Bountiful (2-0), Bonneville (3-1), Box Elder (1-3), Viewmont (1-3), Woods Cross (0-3)Region 6: Skyline (1-0), East (0-1), Brighton (0-0), Highland (0-0), Olympus (0-0)Region 7: Mountain Ridge (6-0), Timpview (5-1), Alta (4-2), Lehi (3-3), Timpanogos (2-4), Orem (1-5), Mountain View (0-6)Region 8: Park City (3-0), Wasatch (4-0), Maple Mountain (3-2), Salem Hills (2-2), Springville (1-2), Spanish Fork (1-2), Payson (0-2), Provo (0-4)Region 10: Juan Diego (3-0), Waterford (1-1), Judge (1-1), Cedar Valley (1-1), UMA (0-3)Region 11: Green Canyon (3-0), Sky View (3-1), Bear River (2-1), Ridgeline (2-2), Logan (1-3), Mountain Crest (0-4)No. 1 Park City - The Miners beat Spanish Fork, 24-0, on Friday. The Miners will take on Maple Mountain on Wednesday, No. 6 Alta on Thursday and Salem Hills on Friday. No. 2 Mountain Ridge - The Sentinels moved up a spot in the poll after a 24-2 win over Mountain View on Tuesday. Mountain Ridge will take on Timpview this Tuesday and Orem on Thursday. No. 3 Brighton - The Bengals will have to wait until May 11 to see who really is the No. 2 team in the state as they take on Mountain Ridge that day. In the meantime, the Bengals will build off its 16-2 win over Highland on Wednesday and a 23-4 win over Copper Hills on Friday. Like the Brighton boys, the girls team may have the toughest remaining schedule with Skyline (4/21), Bingham (4/23), East (4/28), Lone Peak (4/30), Olympus (5/7 - potential Region 6 championship), Davis (5/10), Mountain Ridge (5/11). No. 4 Olympus - The Titans are riding high after beating Pleasant Grove, 27-5, on Wednesday and Timpview, 23-4, on Friday. They also sit at No. 1 in the RPI. May should be an interesting month for the Titans who take on Skyline (5/5), Brighton (5/7) and Park City on May 11. No. 5 Skyridge - Three games this week for the Falcons will be a challenge beginning on Tuesday against Pleasant Grove. On Thursday, Skyridge hosts Westlake then hosts No. 4 Olympus on Friday. No. 6 Alta - Last week was a dominant one for the Hawks who beat Orem, 25-1, and Timpanogos, 14-1. A Tuesday showdown against Mountain View on Tuesday should prepare the Hawks for a Thursday home game against No. 1 Park City. No. 7 Waterford - The Ravens should cruise to victory this week with games against Judge on Tuesday and Juan Diego on Friday. No. 8 Davis - The Darts won't be tested again until May 10th when it faces No. 3 Brighton. No. 9 Wasatch - As votes were coming in I thought this was a typo, but the Wasps are 6-1 and are doing it in style. Only region games remain but that means a showdown with No. 1 Park City on April 30. No. 10 Herriman - This Tuesday will be telling for the Mustangs who take on 7-1 West Jordan who they'll also face on May 6. In the RPI, Herriman is No. 12 and West Jordan is No. 13. If the season ended today, here's what the playoff brackets would look like. Girls Division AGirls Division BGirls Division CGirls region rankings: Region 1: Davis (7-0), Syracuse (6-1), Fremont (5-2), Weber (3-4), Roy (3-4), Layton (3-4), Northridge (1-6), Clearfield (0-7)Region 3: Herriman (5-0), Riverton (4-1), West Jordan (4-10), Jordan (2-3), Bingham (2-4), Copper Hills (1-4), West (0-5)Region 4: Skyridge (4-0), Corner Canyon (3-1), American Fork (3-1), Lone Peak (1-3), Pleasant Grove (1-3), Westlake (0-4)Region 5: Farmington (4-0), Box Elder (3-1), Woods Cross (2-1), Viewmont (1-2), Bountiful (1-3), Bonneville (0-4)Region 6: Brighton (1-0), East (1-0), Skyline (0-1), Highland (0-1), Olympus (0-0)Region 7: Mountain Ridge (6-0), Alta (5-1), Timpview (4-2), Timpanogos (3-3), Lehi (2-4), Orem (1-5), Mountain View (0-6)Region 8: Park City (2-0), Wasatch (2-0), Springville (2-1), Maple Mountain (1-1), Payson (1-1), Provo (1-1), Salem Hills (0-2), Spanish Fork (0-3)Region 10: Waterford (2-0), Juan Diego (1-1), Judge (0-1), Cedar Valley (0-1)Region 11: Bear River (4-0), Ridgeline (4-0), Mountain Crest (2-2), Green Canyon (1-3), Sky View (0-3), Logan (0-3)College UpdateUtah lost to No. 3 Virginia, 18-11 (Recap | Box Score), on Saturday. The game was tied after the first quarter, 4-4, then Utah took a 6-5 lead in the second before Virginia scored 8 unanswered goals. Utah scored the last three goals of the game, making the score 18-11. If you ever get the chance to see a game at Klöckner Stadium, I'd highly recommend it, it's a great venue. The Utes face Cleveland State on Saturday at 10 a.m.Goalie Assist of the Game My second favorite goal of the game goes to MJ:Westminster beat UVU on Thursday, 13-7, and had its game with Colorado College canceled. The Griffins will take on Adams State on Friday and CSU-Pueblo on Sunday. Both games will be at Dumke Field. BYU beat Arizona on Saturday, 12-3, and will take on the Air Force Academy on Saturday at 1:00 p.m in Provo. UVU lost to Westminster, 13-7, on Thursday and will host Air Force Academy on Friday then travel to Utah State on Saturday. WomensWestminster fell to Regis on Tuesday, 19-2, and CSU-Pueblo on Sunday, 15-11. The Griffins will host Adams State on Sunday at 11:00 a.m at Dumke Field. Utah State beat UVU on Saturday, 11-9. Q&A With Syracuse Attack/Mid Brooklyn SuttlemyreCourtesy of Kevin D Hansen PhotographyMy Q&A today is with Brooklyn Suttlemyre who is a Junior at Syracuse High School. Suttlemyre is currently second in the state in goals (58) and points (71) and is winning 0.578 of draw controls. She has two, 12 point games this season where she scored 10 goals and had 2 assists. Suttlemyre hopes to play lacrosse at the next level and wants to be an elementary school teacher and lacrosse coach. “Brooklyn just loves everything about lacrosse, practice, games, teammates, and shooting in the backyard,” said Syracuse head coach Adam Suttlemyre, who is also Brooklyn's dad. “As her coach I love that she likes working on the little things, staying after practice to shoot, and trying to help the newer girls on the team no matter their skill level. She is a very positive player and is an extension of myself on the field. She is very coachable and wants to learn and improve no matter the coach. She has the ability to separate coach and dad which is amazing. Before practice and after I'm like any other dad trying to coach my daughter, and the relationship is just that. But during practice its coach and I can't say enough about that because it can be hard for parents to coach their kid. As a dad I'm Just grateful for the time we get to spend together. Not too many coaches get the opportunity to spend time with their daughter for hours a day, playing a game I have grown to love because of her.”5 Questions w/ Brooklyn SuttlemyreTH: When/why did you start playing lacrosse? BS: I started playing lacrosse in the 5th grade. My elementary teacher coached for a local high school team and it really got me interested in the game. She encouraged me to start playing and I haven't stopped since!TH: What is your favorite part about lacrosse?BS: I love how fast paced the game is! And of course, I love the friendships and my amazing teammates who I wouldn't know without lacrosse.TH: What is your stick of choice?BS: I currently have an STX Exult 600 with a mesh pocket and I love it! TH: What is your favorite field on?BS: Kaysville Jr High field, this was where I played Davis Club lacrosse and Jr. lacrosse. This was the field where I really grew to love the game. I have so many memories there and made friendships that I will never forget. That field became a second home and I will always love playing there. TH: How/why did you pick your jersey number?BS: My dad was number 13 in high school. He is one of my biggest role models, so I thought it would be fitting if I could carry on the tradition and wear his number as well.Utah Lacrosse HistoryIn 1940, Donald C. McMillan, a Salt Lake City native, joined the Army lacrosse team while enrolled at West Point. McMillan is listed as a member of the team in the 1941 and 1942 Howitzer, the West Point yearbook. The yearbooks back then were what seemed like a year behind as the 1940 team was published in the 1941 Howitzer. Although the yearbooks' recaps don't mention McMillan, his bio states he had 'devoted himself to lacrosse, bridge, barbershop harmony, and tall stories.' McMillan was praised at home in an April 18, 1941 clipping called "Utahn Makes Team" from the Salt Lake Telegram in which the author states that McMillan 'qualified' for the Army lacrosse team. The news came from the public relations officer, Lieutenant Colonel Meade Wildrick. It's unclear whether Wildrick reached out to local papers or if the Salt Lake Telegram was actively searching for stories at West Point and happened upon McMillan. The 1940 Black Knights went 7-3 with a season finale win against Navy, 13-2. The 1941 team finished with an 8-2 record and once again bested Navy, 7-5. Army went on to win a National Championship just two years later but McMillan had graduated in 1941.1940 & 1941 Army Lacrosse Teams in the Howitzer yearbookGoalie Goals & The PLLIf you know me, I love a good long pole goal and a goalie goal even more. Here's a gem from Maryland goalie Logan McNaney on Sunday. Also this week, the PLL announced it would be making a stop in Utah at Rio Tinto Stadium on August 20-21. I personally think this is a fantastic time for the PLL to come here. It will be a little toasty, but it's been awhile since I've been warm at a lacrosse game. I also like that it's only two days. Sure, we get less games, but I'll be honest, three days of games is a lot. We'll also get the Quarterfinals of the playoffs which means the games should be great. Tickets aren't on sale yet for SLC, but you can sign up to be notified on their site when they do become available. I'm also really excited about this: The caption says, “We're honored to share this Land Acknowledgment, and together we recognize that our games will be played on lands that have been inhabited, cared for and respected by Indigenous people for centuries. They are the originators of lacrosse.” Pretty cool if you ask me. That's it for this week.

No. 2 Farmington - The Phoenix handled Northridge on Wednesday, 16-4, and edge Wasatch, 12-10, on Friday in one of the better games I've been to this year. I have to hand it to the Wasps, they came to play and their crowd gets loud. No. 3 Olympus - The Titans cruised to a 17-3 victory over Box Elder on Friday. One of the marquee matchups this week has the Titans heading to Provo to take on No. 10 Timpview on Wednesday. Olympus also faces Alta on Friday. No. 4 Mountain Ridge - Mountain Ridge heads to Mountain View on Tuesday. No. 5 Park City - The Miners beat No. 8 Davis, 21-8, on Tuesday and will host Payson on Wednesday. Spanish Fork will host the Miners on Friday. No. 6 American Fork - On Tuesday, American Fork will travel to Skyridge followed by a home game against Westlake on Thursday. The following week, AF has Corner Canyon at home and Lone Peak on the road. No. 7 Green Canyon - I suspect the Wolves will win out starting with a game against Sky View on Wednesday and Bear River on Friday. No. 8 Davis - The loss to Park City on Tuesday led to a 19-7 win over Syracuse on Thursday. Layton on Tuesday and Highland on Thursday will setup region play for the rest of the way for Darts. No. 9 Juan Diego - The Soaring Eagle took down Wasatch on Wednesday, 11-9, and Herriman on Friday, 17-3. Juan Diego will finish the rest of its schedule with region play beginning on Tuesday as it hosts Judge.No. 10 Timpview - No. 3 Olympus comes to town on Wednesday then a home game against Orem on Thursday will round out the week for the T-Birds. Other games I'll be watching with interest: Brighton @ Bountiful, Weber @ Syracuse, Copper Hills @ Bingham, Bingham @ Riverton, Bonneville @ Farmington and Skyline @ Bingham. If you can't tell, I'm anxious to see what Bingham is really about. Three wins this week would be impressive. No. 1 Park City - The Miners will face Payson on Wednesday and Spanish Fork on Friday. No. 2 Brighton - The Bengals host Copper Hills on Friday. No. 3 Mountain Ridge - Despite losing to Herriman on Tuesday, 15-13, the Sentinels stayed put in the polls. A home game against Mountain View is the lone game for the Sentinels this week. No. 4 Skyridge - The Falcons will be tested this week with a game at American Fork on Tuesday and a home game against No. 10 Corner Canyon on Thursday. No. 5 Olympus - The Titans are newcomers to the poll and made quite the entrance. A 17-14 win over Riverton and a 13-12 win over Waterford put Olympus on the map. Olympus will host Pleasant Grove on Wednesday and Timpview on Friday. Sophomore Eva Thorn (12g, 4a) leads the team. No. 6 Waterford - The Ravens beat Highland on Tuesday and lost to Olympus on Friday. Back-to-back games this week begin on Wednesday against Juan Diego and Thursday against Cedar Valley. No. 7 Alta - The Hawks will take on Orem on Tuesday and Timpanogos on Thursday. No. 8 Davis - The Darts beat Syracuse, 17-6 (Highlights), on Thursday and will take on Layton on Tuesday and East on Friday. No. 9 Herriman - The Mustangs entered the picture with a 15-13 win over Mountain Ridge on Tuesday. An away game at Riverton on Tuesday and a home game against West on Thursday lies ahead. No. 10 Corner Canyon - A key region game on Tuesday against Lone Peak and an away game Thursday against Skyridge welcome the Chargers back from Spring Break. Several region games take place this week as team vie for a better position. Including the games mentioned above, Farmington @ Bountiful, Bear River @ Sky View and Green Canyon @ Ridgeline are games to keep an eye on. UHSAA RPI ReleasedView the UHSAA RPIs here: Boys RPI | Girls RPI - The RPIs are updated as scores are entered into MaxPreps so it's constantly changing. One thing (maybe the only thing) that I love about an RPI system like is used in lacrosse is the fact that each year before the first whistle blows, every team, no matter how many players, talent, coaches, etc. has the same statistical probability or chance to win the championship. Now, as the games begin, that quickly diminishes, but in theory, everyone is equal at the beginning of the season. This is why I feel the winner of the Division A bracket is the 2021 State Champion. Division B and C winners are champions of those brackets, not the state. When/if we divide into classifications, that's another story. At that point we'd have a 6A State Champion, a 5A State Champion and a 4A State Champion. Another ‘pro' to the RPI is that no matter the school size, you can compete for the top title. Some see that as a disadvantage (‘We are a small school, we shouldn't have to compete with the big boys!'), but I'd argue as a competitor, you want to beat the best regardless of school size. That feels like an excuse to me and quite frankly, in lacrosse, it doesn't hold true. In fact, of the 27 top tier titles that have been awarded in boys lacrosse history, only two current 6A schools have won one: Bingham in 1999 and Corner Canyon in 2015. Now, is an RPI system perfect? No, I don't think it ever will be. As the RPI was released on Friday, the messages started pouring in and like anything, those who don't favor the RPI were the loudest. To be clear, I don't have a say in how the playoffs are determined, but I am a firm believer that the cream rises to the top, no matter what seed they are in the playoffs. I had a whole theory written out about why some teams are where they are but I'm not confident in it yet. I'm going to save it until we get a little further down the line before releasing it. If we look at the ratings from LaxNumbers (Boys | Girls) it certainly feels more in line with traditional thinking. However, the fact is that we're governed by the UHSAA RPI so here's what the brackets would like if the season ended today based on the UHSAA RPI. I decided to create them on another site to save space in the newsletter. Boys Division ABoys Division BBoys Division CGirls Division AGirls Division BGirls Division CBoys Division AThere's a couple region matchups (CC/LP, Fremont/Davis) and some great on paper matchups. Timpview knocked Farmington out of the 2019 Division B playoffs so that would be a fun rematch. For the history buffs, Park City/Waterford (two original teams) would be a fun one to see. I think the 8/9 seed, Green Canyon v. American Fork game would be excellent.Girls Division A I'm going to be honest and say I don't know as much about these teams but Brighton at the No. 5 seed is interesting. They have been the No. 2 team in the coaches poll every week. Mountain Ridge beat Riverton, 17-8 on Thursday. Waterford is the No. 10 seed and only lost to the No. 2 seed Olympus, 13-12, on Friday. Region RankingsI took the average ratings of each region and here's how it shakes out for the boys: Region 4 - 0.616 - This should be no surprise since four out of six teams are in the top 16 with the lowest team only being at 30. Region 6 - 0.596 - Five teams span from 3 to 33. Region 1 - 0.517 - Having three teams in the Top 16 help, however, Layton at 53 and Clearfield at 44 aren't helping. Region 5 - 0.498 - Despite having the No. 2 team, the rest of the conference is in the 21-47 range. Region 11 - 0.487 - Green Canyon leads at 8 but the other five teams are 23-52.Region 7 - 0.472 - Mountain Ridge at 6 and Timpview at 15 are great, but the other five teams are 35, 37, 43, 43 and 56. Region 10 - 0.437 - Juan Diego at 5 and Waterford at 10 are keeping this region out of the bottom with Judge at 46, Cedar Valley at 50 and UMA at 58. Region 8 - 0.422 - This region runs the gamut with Park City at 7 and Payson at 55. Region 3 - 0.419 - The top team is Riverton at 17 but four teams are in the 40-57 range. For the girls, these numbers are a little off because some teams have only played (or reported) one or two games and some are only playing region games. Region 11 - 0.549 - The top team is Ridgeline at 6 with the lowest being Mountain Crest at 38. Region 4 - 0.541 - Teams range from 8 (Skyridge) and 42 (Westlake).Region 10 - 0.526 - With only four teams, Waterford leads at 10 while Cedar Valley comes in at 34. Region 1 - 0.502 - Davis is at 3 but Northridge (44) and Clearfield (52) are keeping this region in the middle of the pack. Region 6 - 0.478 - Olympus at 2 and Brighton at 5 are helping to offset Highland at 46 and East at 54. Region 7 - 0.475 - Mountain Ridge (4) and Alta (9) are the leaders of the region with Orem (50) and Mountain View (53) at the back. Region 3 - 0.465 - West Jordan leads at 12. Region 5 - 0.461 - Farmington comes in at 7 but the next closest team is 24 (Woods Cross) with Viewmont at 51. Region 8 - 0.379 - Park City leads the charge at 1, Wasatch comes in at 19 but the rest are 31, 43, 45, 48, 56, 57. It's certainly going to be interesting to see how this plays out.Next, I took the RPI and organized it by classification to see what those could look like if we ever go to that method. This assumes 3A, 2A, 1A schools would be in the 4A class and this only includes the top 16 teams in 6A and 5A and top 8 in 4A.

Good morning lacrosse fans. Thank you for taking time out of your day for the Utah Lax Report. Don't forget to forward to a friend, it's the best way for the newsletter to grow. Let's get to it. Interview w/ Waterford Athletic Director Craig Morrisc/o Ben HaslamCraig Morris is one of a handful of people in the lacrosse community who has seen the sport grown from a few teams in the mid 90's to what it is today. He has coached at the high school and college level and was a huge part of the sanctioning effort. Please take a moment to listen to our conversation, there are tons of great nuggets of information in it. You can listen to the latest podcast above or on Apple Podcasts or Spotify. Feeling hungry?

Several key players graduated in 2020 but the foundation should be strong for the Mustangs.

Branden Wilson (2G, 2A), Tyler Bradbury (1G, 3A) and Jack Barron (2G, 1A) led the Utes. Box Score | Recap | Video. When Utah announced going NCAA D-I, it was exciting to think about a Utah/Denver rivalry but let's be honest; the Utah/Air Force rivalry fits the rivalry mold much better for the time being. The Utes face Loyola next Saturday. BYU went to Colorado and faced Adams State on Friday and CSU-Pueblo on Saturday. The Cougars beat the Grizzlies, 15-1, while taking down the Thunderwolves 18-5. Here's the 2021 schedule for BYU:UVU took to the road and beat Concordia, 10-7. The Wolverines will head to Colorado for games against Adams State and CSU-Pueblo this weekend. The MCLA released its plan for something resembling a postseason this year. I think it's easy for most of us in Utah to think things are somewhat back to normal but when dealing with a nationwide organization, it's not so simple. Enter the 2021 MCLA Invitational. This sums it up: I had a thought the other day; does a shortened season last year with no season or no meaningful season this year help or hinder a players desire to play? Let's say you were a Freshman in college in 2019 at an MCLA school. You rode the bench or maybe got a little playing time. Last year, as a Sophomore, your team played 3 games and you saw no time before your season was cancelled. This year, you are a Junior in school but still a Sophomore in eligibility. Your team isn't playing or doesn't want to go to the MCLA Invitational. Does this make you want to play your Senior season more or less? Will teams be younger overall next year? What do you think? Utahns AbroadRyan Baker (Juan Diego) had 3 groundballs on defense for Bryant in a 14-8 loss to Stony Brook.Logann Eldredge (Herriman) had 4 goals and 3 assists against Kent State on Friday. Bubba Fairman (Brighton) had 1 goal and a groundball for Maryland in a 20-9 win over Michigan. Zack Franckowiak (Corner Canyon) had a groundball for Rutgers in a 11-9 upset over Penn State. Several Utahns featured in the Southern Virginia 21-16 loss to Hampden-Sydney. Box Score | Video - Tennison Schmidt (Brighton) had 6 goals and 1 assist. Chandler Wescott (Bountiful/BYU) had 4 goals and 3 assists. Dalon Hampshire (Bountiful/BYU) had 18 saves. On the Women's side at SVU, Alissa Johnson (Olympus) had 6 goals and 1 assist in a 14-13 win over Centre. Box Score | VideoNews & NotesLacrosse PhotographyMy brother and I were talking the other day about lacrosse photography.

Interview w/ Niki Hardingc/o Westminster Athletics / ShootingStar PhotographyThe latest podcast (available on Apple Podcasts and Spotify or listen above) features an interview with local legend Niki Harding. Harding wears many hats in the lacrosse world. She was just promoted to director of Intermountain Lacrosse and is also the head coach for the Westminster Women's team. She's coached since graduating high school, where she coached Woods Cross to five championships. She's been part of the organizing body in the state, through its many names, since 2005. She's coached every level of lacrosse and I'm pretty sure her and I have been the only ones at every high school championship game (boys and girls) since 2011.

If any of you know any of the players in this picture from Murray, I'd love to talk to them. Finally, I wanted to express my gratitude for the game, lifestyle and culture of lacrosse. It all began for me on a bench in the halls of Highland High School in the early Spring of 2000. Walker Bateman approached my friend group and asked one of them, Paul Jones, if he was going to play lacrosse in the Spring. Paul had an older brother who had played and Paul said he was going to. Several of my other friends said they were going to as well and asked me if I was going to. I said, sure! I went to Team Gear International in the basement of the Cottonwood Mall and bought a STX 6000 defense stick with a solid sidewall head.Flash forward to today and I've been involved with the game for 20 years! Lacrosse has taken me to several states and some very cool colleges: Denver, Air Force, UCLA, Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, Cal, Stanford, Virginia, Hofstra, Furman, Texas, SMU, BYU, UVU, Westminster, Utah, Utah State, UNLV, Boise State, Chapman, Colorado State, Colorado and Hartford. I've seen MLL and PLL games and have met thousands of fellow lacrosse fanatics. Those relationships with parents, players and fans are what I am most grateful for. Many of my best friends are because of lacrosse. It's a community that binds so let's make sure we take care of it by taking care of each other.Please send any questions or comments to tim@timhaslam.com.

Kurt Francom currently lives in Woods Cross, Utah with his lovely wife Alanna. They are blessed to have two children (girl and boy). He enjoys drawing caricatures and editorial cartoons, basketball, reading, and college football. Kurt has served as a full-time missionary (California Sacramento), an elders quorum president, executive secretary, bishopric counselor, high priest group leader, bishop and 1st counselor in a stake presidency. More Information at https://leadinglds.org Interview Transcript Hugh Ballou: This is another version of Orchestrating Success. I have Kurt Francom on here. Kurt and I are passionate about leadership, and we discovered each other on LinkedIn. We went back and forth and had a conversation, and we decided we wanted to share information with our mutual audiences. Kurt, welcome to Orchestrating Success. Kurt Francom: Hey Hugh, it’s a pleasure to be here. I love talking with other podcasters because people just don’t understand the struggle. I celebrate your success with the podcast. Hugh: People find me, and I don’t know how they find me but they do. You and I come from a similar background. I served mainline Protestant churches for 40 years and rallied people in music ministry, creating ensembles. In my church in Atlanta, Georgia, I was a staff person. You do leadership in the LDS church. In big Presbyterian Methodist churches, it’s a paid position. I discovered that 90% of my job as music director was music, and the rest of it made music possible. I learned to create systems and influence people. I’d love to swap stories with you, but before we go on to the questions and digging into your knowledge base, tell our listeners about yourself. I prefer for my guests to speak about themselves rather than me trying to read a boring bio. Talk a little bit about your background and why you’re doing this. Kurt: Sure. At the end of the day, I’m just a typical Mormon boy from Salt Lake City. I grew up in a city just outside Salt Lake City called West Valley City. Born and raised in the LDS church. Jumped through the typical Mormon hoops. Served a mission in Sacramento, California. I had the opportunity of learning Spanish because it feels like Northern Mexico there some days. I had the great pleasure of serving among the Spanish-speaking population there and sharing our message. After my mission of two years, I came home and a few years later got married. I was dumped in church leadership. I don’t mean that in a negative sense. In the LDS church, in the Mormon faith, it’s all lay ministry. Whether you are a Ph.D., plumber, or mechanic, anybody in the local congregation or ward can be called as the bishop or the presiding priest of that area. I moved into an area that was in the inner city of Salt Lake and had no inclination or desire to necessarily lead the congregation. But a few years into that, I was called in at the age of 28, which most bishops serve when they are in their late 30’s, early 40’s. They asked me to be the bishop at 28 years old and to preside over about 500 people in the Salt Lake area in our ward. I knew nothing about leadership. I had served with other bishops. I had been an elder’s quorum president over a smaller group of some of the priesthood men. There I was expected to stand and be a dynamic leader and meet with individuals and counsel with them and recommend professional therapy or counsel them on maybe a difficult marriage they are in, the typical things maybe a clergy is found doing. That is when I realized that maybe there could be some more resources out there that could help LDS leaders. I would go into a Barnes and Noble and see bookshelves filled with incredible, dynamic books that would help people in the business world who were striving to lead. I wanted to take some of those principles like Stephen Covey, another famous Mormon leader. Stephen Covey, Liz Wiseman, a lot of these who have written great books, take these principles and apply them to LDS church leadership. That spurred on a podcast I produce around leadership in the context of the Mormon faith. Then we turned it into a nonprofit called Leading LDS, where we are striving to help lay leaders in the church enhance their ability and capacity as they face these difficult situations. Hugh: That’s pretty profound. I understand that from my many years serving in church. You call it a ward. It’s like a parish for a Catholic or an Episcopal church. And it is run by volunteers basically, right? Kurt: Yeah, absolutely. The neat thing is wherever you move, you are assigned to a ward. I can’t just shop and find a pastor or bishop that resonates with me or likes me. If you are in a geographical area, the church determines what parish or ward you will attend. You go there and everybody takes their turn. I served as bishop for about five years, and then somebody else served. After him, somebody else will serve for about five to six years, which is the average. It creates this unique leadership dynamic. Nobody is paid. Nobody really wants to serve. But if they are asked, we believe these callings and assignments come from inspiration and revelation. We feel as we are called by God and step up and serve as we are asked to do. It is interesting to see that responsibility passed around. We are all volunteers that work a 40-50 hour week in our day job, and in the weekends and evenings, we are acting as clergy and doing our best at it. Hugh: That’s amazing. You got called into a leadership position. Did I hear you say you didn’t know leadership? Kurt: Well, I had just graduated college with a marketing degree. I had served as a bishop counselor, as an assistant to the bishop before that and on different smaller auxiliaries within the local ward. This was a whole new experience of being the go-to guy when it comes to life problems or collecting tithing funds and standing and delivering sermons that are going to impact individuals in a positive way and help them progress through the gospel. Hugh: When people ask the famous question, “Are you a born leader, or did you learn leadership?” what is your answer to that? Kurt: I definitely learned leadership. There are certain experiences that were put in my life that helped me develop and catch on to some of these skills. After being bishop, I then served in what is called a stake presidency. A stake is a group of wards. I was over a handful of about seven or eight bishops and their wards, helping mentor those bishops and helping them serve. It is remarkable to see those new bishops come in. The vast majority would claim they were definitely not born leaders, and they are really looking for help in developing that. In my experience, it was something through experience. I made a lot of mistakes. I don’t claim to be the Mormon leadership guru by any means. There are people much more fit for that title. I am grateful for these experiences, that other leaders took a chance on me when I had very little experience. But it has helped me develop personally in a way that is remarkable and has really blessed my life. Hugh: We are talking to business leaders on this particular podcast. When I talk to business leaders, I tell them I developed my methodology in a mega-church. They say, “Hey, why is that relevant to business?” My response is, “If you can do it in a church, you can certainly do it in business because it’s harder when you are working with volunteers.” You can respond to that paradigm, but what can business leaders learn from your LDS model? Kurt: I would encourage people, regardless if you have a connection to the LDS or Mormon faith, to maybe go visit a church and just admire what is happening there. We are a leadership laboratory. Imagine that you’re in your position as a manager, as a CEO, or an executive, but imagine you are limited to a certain geographical area or neighborhood. You can only hire people within that area. As a bishop, if I need a new organist or relief society president, who is the female leader over the women’s organization, I couldn’t send out a plea for resumes. I could only go to a handful of selected streets in an area and say, “What do I got? Who can step up to this and really lead?” Oftentimes, there isn’t obvious choices for a lot of these positions. As a secular leader, these are interesting paradigms to put yourself in and say, “If I couldn’t fire anybody,” because we can’t fire anybody. We can change their calling maybe, but we can’t say, “Hey, listen, this isn’t working out. Go away.” We have to put them somewhere else in our organization to serve. Of course, people get offended, but we want them to love attending church, not feel like, “Oh man, they fired me from this calling.” Imagine in your leadership if you could not only fire anybody, if you could only select from a very small demographic, how would you lead differently? Pondering that and visiting an LDS church and seeing how that works and trading those responsibilities around. I was a leader for five years. Now it’s your turn. Now I sit in the pews and look at this person who was maybe my assistant, and now I consider him my leader. Just these small leadership dynamics in the LDS faith and the lay ministry that will really cause a leader to pause and reevaluate maybe how they lead and how they can excel with these limitations and even outside that, recognize the limitations you have in your organization and see them as strengths and how you can apply them as better strengths. Hugh: We do have a lot of listeners that run small businesses. They are economically limited as well as geographically limited many, many times. That paradigm works really well. Your business is outside of the Mormon Church. You do this as a volunteer. But Leading LDS is your nonprofit that you teach leadership with? Kurt: Exactly. Leading LDS is a separate third-party organization that is supplementing the resources of leadership development for the LDS church. When I was called as a bishop, I was given a handbook and a pat on the back and was told good luck, and away I went. We are trying to connect some of these resources to those lay leaders that are treading water and just need some ideas and thoughts. A bishop in Maine may be doing something different than a bishop in Texas, and I help share those ideas by interviewing them on the podcast or sharing resources and tools they are using within those local wards. Hugh: I will put a link in, but tell us what your podcast is called. Kurt: It’s called Leading LDS. Hugh: It’s the same. I do have lots of Mormon friends. I would say they all are high performers. They are very serious about what they are doing. I also find that my Mormon friends are very astute businesspeople. There are attributes of the Mormon culture that are kind, focused, and serious about what I’m doing. It’s important work. Is that all tied to your spiritual calling? Kurt: You know, I would hate to take away their grit and hard work of going through schooling and developing that. But in the LDS faith, when I was 19 years old, it’s cultural norm for these young men and women to go on missions. I was dropped in Sacramento, and I had never experienced homesickness like I did at that time. I really had to step up and look at myself and say, I can either flourish or shrink in this situation. There is a great book called The Mormon Way of Doing Business, which came out 10 years ago. It talks about David Neeleman, who started JetBlue, and David Checketts, who was the president of the New York Knicks, and some of these other LDS Mormon individuals who have had great business success. A lot of that is attributed to not only their Mormon mission as young men and women when they really had to step up and define themselves as an individual. Also, when you return, you are still asked to lead in various capacities. If you are a manager, CEO, or other executive and you happen to know that somebody is LDS, you should ask them, “Have you ever been an elder president? What sort of leadership have you held in your local ward? How has that developed you?” You may find out characteristics about that individual that can maybe help you better utilize them in the capacities in their secular job. Hugh: Fascinating. I was remembering my work at a 12,000-member church in Atlanta, Georgia. I worked with 750 people in music ministry, all of whom were volunteers. Multiple events to plug into every week. We were on national TV and local TV, etc. The pressure was pretty high to motivate people to show up. When I got there, somebody told me they had lost 200 members in the adult choir. That was like your Mormon Tabernacle Choir losing your core singers and having a handful left. Your choir is bigger, but still. The critical mass, and having 35 people to build from. You have this big cavernous place to make sound. It was an uphill battle. I worked with executives, CEOs from major companies, who were in the choirs, who were in the committees, who were in the leadership of the church. I earned their respect because I could motivate people to follow a track and get things done. I’m curious when I hear people in the MLM industry, whether they have contract labor, people who aren’t really in their employ, say, “Oh, I can’t tell them what to do because it’s their own business.” I had a whole bunch of people that weren’t in business that did the directive we inspired. We created the compelling reason for what we’re doing. So I got a lot of respect from CEOs because I could motivate people by influence, not by power of position, which, to me, is one of the attributes of transformational leadership. You might be familiar with the works of Burns and Bass who in the ‘80s developed this concept of transformational leadership, which is like an orchestra or choir. It’s building a culture and influencing that culture to function at a higher level. I say back to you that I influence business leaders because of methodology and influence. From your side, business leaders coming into the laboratory that you suggested, is that kind of a learning experience that business leaders could expect? Kurt: As I was preparing for this interview with you, Hugh, I put down four principles that maybe a secular leader or a manager in their everyday life can learn from LDS leaders and the challenges that we face. One of those is your limitations and strengths. Another one I would say is what would you do if you didn’t have classic leveraging tools of motivation? You couldn’t demote someone, you couldn’t take their salary away, and you couldn’t fire them. They are all volunteers. How do you approach that? We have a fantastic scripture in our doctrine of covenance, which is a fantastic scripture just like the Bible. It says, “No power or influence can or ought to be maintained by virtue of the leadership, only by persuasion, long suffering, by gentleness, meekness, and by love unfeigned.” It gives you a whole new approach to motivating individuals when you can’t just yank their salary away or give them these harsh consequences that will impact their family life. It’s through this meekness and long suffering, really connecting and getting to know these individuals. Just like servant leadership or transformational leadership, these are all different ways of saying this, but really leading in a way that connects with the individual so they do want to have influence and realize they are a leader themselves. They can have remarkable impact on their local ward or even at work where they have important responsibilities. Hugh: I’ll tell you a funny story. I had a volunteer who was in one of my programs at one of my churches, and it just wasn’t working. I asked them to come in and have an interview. I said, “Let me get somebody else to do this for a while so you can regain control of your life, and then we’ll come back and find another place for you to show your talents.” It was a painful conversation. It was like they were relieved. They said, “Okay.” We had a hug and a parting, and they left. I said, “Now I gotta put my new leaders in place.” I looked at my window, and the first person they met, they were skipping, jumping, and smiling saying, “I got fired from our job!” Kurt: Yep, we have the same dynamic. Hugh: If it ain’t workin’, either in a business context or a volunteer context, everybody knows it. We don’t address it. One of the conflict management pieces I encourage people to embrace is you move toward conflict as soon as it’s there because it doesn’t get better if you don’t address it. Remain calm and address the facts. What is your advice when you have somebody either in business or a volunteer in a charity that it just isn’t working out? From your perspective, what’s your advice on how to deal with changing their job or moving them out of the space? Kurt: Obviously, every leader wants to establish a really healthy culture in their organization. There is nothing more damaging to that organization than a passive-aggressive attitude of, “We appreciate your time serving in this position, but man, do we need you over here passing out the hymn books as people enter. There is nobody else that can do it; you must do it.” This is one thing I preach a lot on Leading LDS. There is nothing more valuable to a leader in my opinion than this ability to effectively communicate on a one-to-one basis. I get questions and situations emailed to me all the time, “I have this difficult person that is in my ward or my primary relief society. What should I do with them?” 90% of the time, you need to have a conversation with them. And if you don’t know how to do that, you need to develop those skills to have that conversation. That is one thing in our culture, a very religious culture, where we feel like, “I am called of God; therefore, I should have these abilities given to me in the moment that I need them to handle these leadership positions.” But it really is up to that leader to take the time to listen to podcasts like Orchestrating Success to develop these skills so that you are an effective leader. It’s not just going to come because they call you a leader. Hugh: Absolutely. What you just described is a triangle relationship. You have that local leader calling you about a third person. There are three people in a relationship, which is neutral. There are triangles that are the basic blocks of human relationships. What that person may have wanted to do is triangle the other person, which is another way of looking at passive aggressive. They want to dump all their energy on you and have you do something about it, which happens in the life of the church. That is the culture that people sometimes unload on a third person about that other person, which doesn’t solve the problem. What you did was undo the triangle and say, “Go face to face. Address the situation. Develop the skills to do that. No, God didn’t download these skills to your hard drive. You need to think about it and faith, God is giving you certain abilities, but He is also giving you the ability to think and speak the truth. Hall said, “Speak the truth in love.” We dodge around it. We hint around it instead of saying, “This isn’t working out. How can we remedy it?” Sometimes, a person will want to upgrade their skills, and we can mentor them in that. Sometimes they are going to say, “This isn’t working for me either.” They know it, and they may not know how to tell you that they want out of it. I think a direct one-to-one conversation. You want to respond to that paradigm? Kurt: That’s the beauty of it. When you learn how to have these conversations, it’s not like this person is struggling in this calling or assignment and is oblivious to their lack of ability. By having that conversation with love, again, going back to meekness and connecting with that person, they are more likely to say, “I hate failing at this thing, too. Do you have any suggestions of a way I can be better? Or maybe there is a better place for me to be.” Then you don’t have this weird passive-aggressive relationship of, “Remember that time you fired me but we never talked about it?” They move onto the next position where they can maybe flourish, and they still love you as their leader because you took the time to have that interaction and express love to them in a way that will help them flourish elsewhere. Hugh: We’re talking to a business audience in this podcast. There is a lot to learn from being able to manage self and speak clearly in this culture. That question I asked you a while ago, how can business leaders learn, all of this, leadership is leadership. Good leadership is good leadership, no matter where you are. In the context you’re working, it’s more difficult. By the way, in my methodology, when I was inside the church, I developed this paradigm of we’re called to ministry, so why are we calling people volunteers? I don’t know if you call them volunteers or not. I started this initiative in the last church I served where we outlawed the word “volunteer” because we are teaching everybody in our theology that God calls you to Christian service. It’s in conflict to say, “I want to volunteer stuff” rather than saying, “I was called to leadership.” You mentioned servant leadership; that is certainly a title. We adopted the title of “members in ministry,” which worked for the church. It was us in a leadership position. It changed the paradigm of performance. People saw themselves as leaders. We had lots of people doing lots of stuff joyfully because they had a leadership track. It wasn’t the volunteer mentality of showing up and doing the least I can because I am a volunteer. It was a paradigm shift. My bias is we have to let go of some words to be able to let go of the old paradigm and shift to a new one. What is your response to that methodology? Kurt: In the Mormon faith, the nomenclature of these volunteer assignments is it’s my calling. What is your calling? I was just called to this position. I think we have gone too far with it to where we have used it for so long for so many years that it has the same connotation as if we just said volunteer. This goes to when I started Leading LDS; our slogan that I say at the end of each episode is, “Be a leader, not a calling.” Insert whatever word there. “Be a leader, not a volunteer, manager, executive” because in my opinion, leadership is something that you step up to. You’re not always dragged there and told to wear your crown, enjoy it, and be effective. Leadership is something we need to find in each one of our selves and say, “I can have some influence somewhere in the world. Where is it going to be?” For me as a young 28-year-old, I was asked to be a bishop and I thought, Well, I can either flounder or flourish. Not that I was the most successful bishop and there are statues of me anywhere by any means. Nonetheless, I saw it as a calling that is a great opportunity to lead. Leadership is no better than when it’s self-called. Hugh: What is the biggest challenge you see in leadership anywhere? Inside the church, inside a business. What is the biggest challenge in today’s convoluted toxic world today? Kurt: That’s a great question. Many books have been written on that. I would probably change my answer month to month, but most recently, I have been very struck with this topic of the role of shame in organizations, especially more highlighted in religious situations because we go to our chapel every Sunday. There is always this undertone of, You’re not doing enough. You need to be better. Keep the commandments. Be more. Be more. Of course, I want to be part of an organization that is constantly encouraging me to be better. It’s so easy for the adversary we would have in our doctrine to twist that and say, “You know what? You’re just not good enough. Because you’re just not good enough, you’re broken. If you’re broken, you don’t belong here.” That person internalizes that message of, “This system broke me. This church broke me. This organization broke me. I don’t want to work there because they shame me and make me feel less than myself.” There is this subtle balance for a leader to be encouraging and motivating without being shaming. I have been doing lots of research and interviews around this topic of how we can better lead without shaming. It’s valuable. Brene Brown has done some remarkable research on it. Her TED Talk, which is one of the most listened-to, about this concept of vulnerability and shame and recognizing it and getting it out of your life. Nothing that comes from God is laced in shame, and there is no place for it in the church nor is there any place for it in any organization. Hugh: When we are demeaning ourselves, we are demeaning God, because we are a creation of God. In this series of podcasts, #42 is my colleague Dr. David Gruder, who is an organizational psychologist. He talks about the shadow. That is part of what you’re talking about: the negative scripts that we have that limit our ability. Sometimes we’re our own worst enemy, no matter where we are leading. Kurt: Yeah, it’s too bad. Hugh: I’m glad you referred to that. It’s a hidden liability for leaders. It’s really a problem. This podcast is called Orchestrating Success obviously. I picked up when you said you prepared for this podcast. Thank you. That honors what I’m doing. You checked me out, and you obviously know I am a musical conductor. Orchestrating is how you define the instruments that play, but it’s also adding energy to that idea that is notes on paper become sounds, glorious sounds. The subtitle is “Converting Passion to Profit.” I am a champion for profit in all of its forms. The scripture says, “What does a man profit if he gain the whole world and lose his soul?” That is a different element of profit. We can be a prophet, for profit, and profit from the synergy of the community. What I want people to do is to profit in their leadership methodology, their vision for empowering themselves and their teams through this series of interviews. Speaking to that paradigm, what’s the most important takeaway that you’ve had? You were a bishop at 28. You don’t look a whole lot older than that. Kurt: I’m 35, so it’s been a few years. Hugh: I’m 71. You’re not a whole lot older than that. Kurt: I still got a lot to learn, for sure. Hugh: I can remember 35. It’s kind of fuzzy. What would you like people to take away? I think we’ve covered our topics really well. If there is something else you want to cover here, I’m happy to do that. Back to my question. What are the takeaways you would like to emphasize for leaders who need to up their game in any space, in an entrepreneurial space, charity space, church space, wherever? What are some empowerment pieces that you’d like to leave people with? Kurt: Pleasure to do so. Again, I thank you, Hugh, for giving me a stage here to talk about what I have learned as a developing leader. My overall message that I would love for people to take away is be a leader and not a calling. Wherever it is that you lead, are you leading because you are called to that or asked to lead or hired as a leader, or are you leading because you find it a passion in your life to step up and have an influence for good in your world and surroundings? You mentioned my age of 35. One of the principles I wanted to mention is for leaders out there, even in the secular world that maybe are managers or executives, somebody took a chance on the 28-year-old young kid to be a bishop. It impacted me as a person and hopefully I had positive influence in that role. Don’t underestimate. Speaking as one of the older Millennials in the world, don’t underestimate the power of those Millennials. Don’t wait on them to lead. That doesn’t mean you have to fire your older executive staff and put a bunch of young guys in Levi’s in there. Look for opportunities for them to lead and to flourish so that by the time that you do need them to step up, they are ready to go and to be a leader, not a calling. Hugh: That’s huge. We’re not engaging Millennials as a sector. I’m a boomer, you’re a millennial—we have similar values. We value core principles, and we value a lot of things that we see in common, but we have a different way of approaching it. Neither one is bad or good; it’s just understanding and celebrating the difference and creating a diverse board, a diverse cadre of people who are servant leaders in any organization. That’s a great final thought. Kurt, I see why you’ve been called into leadership positions. You’re on top of your game, sir. Kurt: Thank you. I appreciate that. It means a lot. Hugh: Thank you for being on this podcast, and thank you for sharing your message with so many people that tune in.

ESPN's Kevin Pelton joined David Locke for LOCKED ON NBA and in their conversation they talked about the Jazz and the value and depth and defense for a team. Is defense really less valuable than offense and is the Jazz depth as good as people have said? Reports over the weekend talked about how the Jazz are unlikely to get an extension done with Rodney Hood. Locke explains that it has nothing to do with how the Jazz and Hood feel about each other, but much more about the cap implications and the rules of the CBA. Locke did his season prep this weekend and shares notes on all the Jazz players. Let's be honest these are indepth and you aren't getting them anywhere else.
