Congrats Cassidy on being on that list of talented volleyball players. Maybe the most talented 1A teams that have ever been. I know you would have much rather won state. Panguitch and Piute were very good and it just did not work out. Way to work hard to all the girls and work thru your trials from the day before. We will miss seeing you with Cassie, Ashley, Maude,Shantae...but we still have basketball season!

I don't know about most talented 1A teams ever been but definitely the best competition. But I wouldn't go out on a limb to say the most talented because we all know that there have been amazing teams go through Rich that I don't think will be topped. But, the competition is better than ever

EXCUSE ME. Was not going after your daughter being not as good as this years Rich team. I was just saying that never has there been three 1A teams show up in the top 20 in the state in one year and 3 more with potential of beating any of those three teams on any given day if they did not play their game. I was giving Kudos to Panguitch, Piute, Altamont, Monticello, and Duchesne for making the 1A tournament compeititive where there has been many years that 1A title could have been won by Coach Stuart's JV she had sitting on the bench. Good job Rich girls. You worked hard and represented the school well. Thanks and good job all of you! And as far as the comments that there has been Rich teams that will not be topped,wow, I hope the younger girls in all of volleyball do not fold up shop and go home because they can never live up to the past. I know some girls that plan for maybe something different than that. Go Rebels!

Based on how they compare to the best teams around the state regardless of class, Panguitch is the best team in 1A that I have ever seen. There has never been a 1A team this close to the best 5A schools.

Amazing what happens when you work during the "offseason", Panguitch and Piute have figured it out and 1A volleyball will never be the same. Welcome to an age of relative parity.

Panguitch was definitely very good this year but the best team in 1A to EVER come this close to the best 5A schools? I don't know if that is a shot at 5A not having good teams this year or just ignoring the fact that Rich High has come up with teams in the past that would have taken state in any division. Anyone who's watched Utah high school volleyball for the past 15 years can't argue with that. Again, Panguitch was really good this year but not the BEST I've ever seen in 1A. They definitely deserved the championship this year.

I think we insult our current coach and players and show a disgraceful lack of sportsmanship by focusing only on previous years' accomplishments, and discounting those who have played this year (whether they play for our team or not). Rich, You're living in the past. Congratulations Panguitch on a great season.
Seriously | 6:24 p.m. Nov. 1, 2009
Yes Rich has had great teams, but so has Panguitch congrats ladies u did great!!!

1A Fan | 9:50 a.m. Nov. 2, 2009
Congrats to all the girls and their accomplishments!! I agree that 1A volleyball is progressing and it is great to see. Also kudos to the Rich fan that can see that Rich needs to quit reliving the past and focus on the future. It is a slap in the face the present and future players. All players keep up the good work and commitment.

ME | 10:56 a.m. Nov. 3, 2009
All i can say is thank heavens Rich got beat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it's time that they learn how to lose, sorry but its true. GO PANGUITCH!!!!!! Let's keep it up. Rich's victories have gotten to be ridiculous.
re: ME | 12:08 p.m. Nov. 3, 2009
Rich's victories haven gotten to be ridiculous because..... they always win and dominate?.... or what? Don't hate them because they are good. They may of had a down year this year but come on dont tear them down. And they have lost before don't worry, no one knows how to lose better than Rich they have had bad seasons. Panguitch needs to learn how to be humble, look at all the comments Rich is given you as well... for real you were prob ticked that no one on here is sayin Panguitch is overrated from Rich and that its stupid Rich didn't win you were prob hopin for negative c. Rich has had nothing to say but positive things from these comments. Show some class now. And ya Rich needs to stop living in the past and focus on the present and future,, but the better you know about the past the more prepared you are for the future. that's all Panguitch can do is focus on this and they should because they haven't really had a past worth mentioning in volleyball they wreaked. Rich does. Congrats Panguitch. good tourney
well that sucks | 12:10 p.m. Nov. 5, 2009

Anonymous | 4:03 p.m. Nov. 5, 2009
I see no story about a Rich/Altamont game. And quite frankly... Nobody even cared about that game. I don't know what your talking about!

Why are Rich AND Panguitch not in 2A? They have the numbers for it.
Re: Rich & Panguitch in 2A | 3:29 a.m. Nov. 7, 2009
Why are Rich AND Panguitch not in 2A?

UHSAA classifies schools based on grades 10-12. If you go by the numbers they have published this year, the top 10 1A schools would be:

1. Wasatch Academy (197)
2. Duchesne (157)
2. Whitehorse (157)
4. Monticello (153)
5. St. Joseph (138)
6. Monument Valley (115)
7. Altamont (112)
8. Wayne (109)
9. Oakely (100)
10. Rich (94)

Panguitch would be 11th on this list with 91

Apparently, They don't "have the numbers for it".
Next time, check your facts first.
