What a great night for soccer. Close, competitive games except for the Alta blowout.

Rumor has it that with Lone Peak and Alta in the semis, the KSL BYU football broadcast team of Greg Wrubell and Mark Lyons will call some real "football" games next Tuesday at Juan Diego. Greg Wrubbell's daughter Caitlin plays for Lone Peak and Mark Lyon's granddaughter is Alta super sophomore Maddie Lyons. It's fun to watch these two BYU football commentators become spectators and fans at real "football" games.

Viewmont is struggling in the post season. Perhaps too much hype after their surprise victory over Alta.

Lone Peak is "peaking" at the right time and looks tough to beat.

Davis eked out a tough win over Riverton by holding Darian Jenkins at bay.

Alta continues its incredible form. West focused on Michelle Murphy and Bizzy Phillips and Lexe Selman picked up the slack which then freed Michelle Murphy up to score a hat trick.

There should be some exciting semifinals soccer next Tuesday at Juan Diego in 5A, and if Greg Wrubell and Mark Lyons put girls' soccer on KSL radio, it will be even more exciting. Juan Diego, please prepare the broadcast booth.

Seems as if the typical girls' soccer powerhouses are left. I would love to see a Davis vs Viewmont state final, it would be interesting as non-region foes. It will be tough for Davis to get past Alta though. Go Darts!

"Viewmont is struggling in the post season."

Guess when you wrote that you didn't realize that Northridge beat Davis in their last region game and then ousted Brighton from the tourney. Looks like Northridge was peaking at the right time. Viewmont is as tough as any of them and has wins over both Alta, Davis, and Skyline (who is a semi-finalist in 4A). Last year Viewmont "struggled" all the way through the tourney to the championship game:) Go Vikes.
