On Valentine’s Day, Springville’s Lady Red Devils girls basketball blew past local rival Maple Mountain, 78-51.  Savannah Sumsion and Cheyanne Brown each had huge performances adding 23 and 22 points respectively in the win.

During the last home game on Tuesday, February 14, Springville High Seniors on the girls basketball team were honored:  Mikayla Miyasaki, Kennedy Clement, Kami Warner, Cheyanne Brown, Mary Fredrickson, Savannah Sumsion, and Taylee Smith.

Senior Taylee Smith has served the Springville High Red Devil girls basketball team for the past two years as team manager.  Smith wants nothing more than to actually play high school sports.  On Valentine’s Day, she got her chance.  Smith started the game and scored on the first play.  This was an incredible moment for Smith, the entire team, and all the fans in attendance.  Smith is a Senior this year and was honored with all the other Senior team members.

Valentine's Day ended with a big BOOM!  Chemistry teachers Mr. Haderlie (pictured) and Mr. Roylance "wowed" students by lighting off hydrogen/oxygen balloons.  Loud explosions could be heard all over campus.  Luckily, no fire alarms went off!

The Boys 200 Medley Relay record swim (previously held for nine years by Tim Call, Daniel Simmons, Calvin Clark, and Bryant Taylor) was broken by 6 tenths of a second with the new standard set at 1:40.12 on Friday by Jake Anderson, Spencer McQueen, Cameron Green, and Brock Hargett.

Another longstanding record (held by Wesley Johnson for 14 years) fell in the Boys 100 Backstroke, and is now held by Jake Anderson, who became the first SHS swimmer to go under 54 seconds with a 53.87.

Brooke Bromley and Naomi Pruett have gotten the word out. They have increased membership by 86%. The FCCLA Program at Springville High School is thriving this year.

Bromley and Pruett organized the biggest service project that Springville’s FCCLA program has ever seen. 

“Our program raised over $1,000 dollars to help a child in a third world country have a better life,” said Bromley.

Springville High is so proud of the all of the work these two students have done to make the world a better place. Keep it up!
