Lehi Froggies Win 3-1 in Soccer Thriller Against Westlake Shockers April 29

In a Region Four boys' soccer game at Lehi April 29, the Lehi Pioneers, AKA the Froggies, defeated the Westlake Thunder, AKA the Shockers, 3-1.
Froggie Alec Sorenson scored the game's first goal on a Ben Plott assist during the first period. The game's score stayed at 1-0 until the final 15 minutes of regulation play.
At 15:00, Lehi fans croaked joyously as they watched Dallas Mosher score the Froggies' second goal. As the next 12 minutes wound down, the Froggies looked as though they would win 2-0. However, Shocker Alex Webb shocked Lehi by scoring a goal during a throw-in at 3:12.
So for the next two minutes, the game looked as though it might go into overtime. Leo Fuchs spared Lehi from that worry by scoring on an indirect kick made by Plott.
Lehi Coach Jerry Prisendorf said, "Westlake just kept coming at us. We were lucky to make the critical shots when we needed to have them."
Lehi Froggies Hop Past Lone Peak Loners 1-0 in Region 4 Boys' Soccer Finale

By a fortunate accident, a Lehi player's intended pass turned into a winning shot for the Lehi Pioneers, AKA the Froggies, in their 1-0 win at home over the Lone Peak Knights, AKA the Loners, during Region Four boys' soccer action.
In the game's first half, Froggie Jamon Hafen recalled, "I made a cross that was meant for Connor Miles. Instead of going to him, the pass bounced off a Lone Peak player's head, and the ball went into the net for the goal."
Hafen's goal didn't spark a scoring run for the Froggies. The Loners kept them from making any more goals. However, Froggie goalies Tanner "Muncy" Munson and Dalton Petersen pooled their efforts together to prevent the Loners from making any goals, despite frequent Loner attacks led by Ty Hutchinson, Cade Low, and Jaxon Henley.
Leo Fuchs, Kyle Curtis, and Alex Sorenson guided many long Lehi attacks that severely tested the resolve of Loner goalie Kostner Olsen, who didn't let the Froggies make any further goals after Hafen had put Lehi on the board.
Lehi Coach Jerry Prisendorf said, "Tonight was senior night, and our seniors showed great leadership tonight, especially in the back field. The only thing that was on the line tonight was bragging rights, because Lone Peak had already won the region championship before today. Still, it was great for us to win tonight as we get ready to play Viewmont at 4 in the state playoffs this Tuesday."
"Because I wanted my starters ready for state, I had my entire bench play tonight," said Lone Peak Coach Blaine Hale. "With us already being region champs, we didn't really have anything to lose tonight."
Lone Peak Loners Defeat Lehi Froggies 14-4 in a JV Baseball Game May 2

In a nine-inning, junior varsity baseball game at Lehi May 2, the Lone Peak Knights, AKA the Loners, dried up the Lehi Pioneers 14-4.
Until the ninth inning, the game was riveting -- correction, ribbiting. In the top of the first, for example, the Loners charged ahead 2-0. The Froggies leaped onto the scoreboard in the bottom of the first when Broc Hansen singled in Ty Willes.
Preventing the Loners from putting any runners on base in the top of the second, the Froggies got a one-out double from Clayton Driggs in the bottom of that inning. The Loners kept Driggs chained on base, however.
On two outs in the top of the third, Loner Cole "Spades" Gambill singled into left, and Payton Freeman tripled him in. The Froggie defense tightened up after that Loner RBI. Through the combined pitching of relievers Brett "Mister" Roberts and Zac Bingham, the Froggies held the Loners scoreless in the fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh innings.
Though Jackson Kohler clubbed two straight singles for the Froggies during the game's first five innings, they couldn't put together an effective attack on the Loners' 3-1 lead until the bottom of the sixth. That inning, singles from Stock Birch and Devin Hanki enabled the Froggies to load the bases on no outs. Zac Bingham hit a three-run double that put Lehi ahead 4-3.
The Froggies' lead couldn't last past the eighth inning. In the top of it, Brigham Trowbridge doubled in a run that unleashed an eight-run rally for the Loners. The rally saw Loners hit a total of four one-run doubles. Besides Brigham Trowbridge, the other Loners who each hit a one-run double in the rally included Colonel Cutter Easton, McCrae Trowbridge, and Spades Gambill.
McCrae Trowbridge concluded the game's scoring by whacking a three-run homer that put the score at 14-4. Lone Peak held Lehi scoreless in the game's final three innings, despite a Hankis single hit in the bottom of the ninth.
Lone Peak jayvee coach Beau "Do the Hustle"McCoy said, "We changed our approach at the plate whenever we would find ourselves behind on a count, especially in the eighth inning when we had that big rally."
