A highly-anticipated return to form was just what fans of the Evanston High School volleyball team were hoping for last Saturday, and with a healthy roster for the first time since the start of the season, that’s exactly what the Lady Devils provided in a 3-0 sweep of visiting Jackson.
he Evanston High School cross country teams made the most of their home-field advantage last Friday, with both the Red Devils and Lady Devils winning the team titles at the Evanston Invitational, held at Purple Sage Golf Course. “It was a good day,” said EHS head coach Nate Conrad. “We made some tweaks to the course, to make it a little faster, something the kids could enjoy a little bit better. The kids responded well to it. It was a little bit easier – times were a little quicker than last year – but not by much. Purple Sage is such a hard place to find a flat area where you can get three miles worth of running. But it was awesome, it was a lot of fun.”
The Evanston High School cross country teams had the opportunity to run against some of the best cross country teams in the region Saturday, Sept. 24, competing at the Utah Border Wars, in Taylorsville. “It was a large event – there were close to 50 teams that were there from Idaho, Utah, Wyoming, Colorado, Arizona, Nevada,” said EHS head coach Nate Conrad. “We saw some really good competition, and it was a really awesome experience for our kids.” Despite the insane level of competition at the meet, the Red Devils and Lady Devils did well, with most of the runners setting new seasonal or personal bests.
The Evanston High School girls’ swimming and diving team hosted the Evanston Invitational last Saturday at Davis Middle School, and made the most of the opportunity, placing second as a team against some strong competition. “It went really well – we haven’t placed second at a meet in a really long time, especially one with a large amount of teams being there,” said EHS head coach Teri Wilt. “Our girls swam well, they finished well – our divers had a bit of a rougher day, although we had one take first. But our swimmers were quick, they did really well.”
