Not a good weekend for LP.

Good job PG. Congrats. We love you Lone Peak. LP Seniors thanks for the memories, what a great ride, you girls are awesome. LP Coaching Staff rocks!

Deseret News: Great job on the pictures? Generally, you may want to show pictures of both teams. NICE, NOT!

Lone Peak played as good as they could. They beat a really good Brighton team who could have beat team. And no one would stand a chance against PG has the most talent by a long shot and this year they did not let the state championship slip by them.

Not a great weekend for LP? What are you talking about? 2nd place in the STATE championship match isn't a good weekend? Give me a break!

Are you insane! LP had a great weekend. They were the three seed coming in beat three very good teams. Worked hard and ended up in the finals for the seventh straight year. So they lost to a very talented PG team. Who I might add played the best I've seen them play this year. They had very few errors and defense was spot on. LP did a great job. And my money is on them being there again! Way to go LP you were a class act and have nothing to be ashamed of!

Well, maybe it wasn't a good weekend for the football team but finishing second in volleyball to a great team like Pleasant Grove is nothing to be ashamed of.

In regards to the volleyball team there were many doubters of this year's Lone Peak program, probably even among their own circle, whether this team could reach the finals or even beat Taylorsville in the first round. They beat Taylorsville, the only Utah team to beat PG this year, they beat Northridge the #1 team from Region One and they beat Brighton, the #2 team from their region that beat them twice during the year. Beating Pleasant Grove this year was a tough task. The Vikings were talented and played an outstanding match in the championship with great hitting and spectacular defense.

For LP, it was one of Coach Meyer's best coaching jobs and great season and tournament girls! Again, you proved many doubters wrong and came home with another trophy. Seven straight trips to the state championship game is a great accomplishment for any program in any sport for any coach.

Again, the Vikings deserve all the praises on a great season and tournament.

First I must say congrats to Coach Meyer. She did an amazing job getting her team to the finals! 7 years in a row is an amazing feat. This just proves that Lone Peak doesn't have rebuilding seasons, just reloading, and in my opinion, this is a product of great coaching. She just keeps losing seniors, and keeps putting together amazing teams, so kudos!

PG had a great season. They are a super talented team, and it was fun to watch them. It's good that those girls finally got one, after being together for so long.

Congrats to both teams!

that lost to Hunter in four OT's will look back at that and say they were involved in one of the most epic football games ever played. For the volleyball team they took second place in state and lost to a great team. There is no shame in that. I would say it was a great weekend for Lone Peak athletics, even if the ultimate goal was not achieved.

Are you insane. What exactly is your beef? Lp had a great season. Those girls worked hard and became better players and a much better team from beginning to end do to their work ethic and a staff that cares and motivates them acheive.

Seven straight years in the finals. Five of them in 5a is not to shabby. You girls rock and don't let anyone take your season acomplishments away from you. PG played amazing last night best I've seen them play. It was their tournament to win or loose. They made very few errors and had great defense. Job well done on both sides of the net.

nice job Vikings!

Way to get it done!!

PG was incredible last night. It may have been one of the most fun games I have witnessed. They had LP running around with their heads cut off most of the night. Their offense was hitting so hard and placing so well that LP was diving into cheerleaders, their own bench, and into the fans. LP was overmatched by a long shot. I didn't see very many changes by Meyer. I thought the Johnston kid should have had more opportunities/touches. They didn't use her very well. Their hitters were not looking for placement. Why even try to hit through or over the 6'6 kid from PG? Not smart coaching. It almost looked like the male assistant was trying to say to much in time outs. Unorganized all night. I do agree with someone above, LP will just reload!

PG great match. Great Season. Well Deserved. Mendivil was a phenom!

You are right on one thing, PG is amazing and played amazing last night. They were the better team with much more talent, size and experience. I guess Meyer could have tried to get Johnson more touches or whatever but let's get serious, would it have mattered much?

On the other hand Coach Meyer, who for some insane stupid reason you want to criticize, helped guide her team to the finals as the lower seeded team in every single match of the tournament. She has also guided the Knights to seven straight championship games, five in the 5-A which has never been done at the large school level. I will grant you that LP was dazed in games one and two, but when the Knights raised their level of play in the third game that was the most amazing volleyball I've personally seen. PG was the better team last night and the best team in the state all season. Coach Meyer should have nothing to prove to her critics. Her staff is excellent and the girls our top notch.

Region 1 sucks... what is it going to take to get good coaching and a winning tradition up north? Even with great talent, they can’t win. Embarrassing…

I was expecting much more talent from region 1 but they honestly weren't that great. Obviously region 4 had all the talent and then add bingham in there. There was a huge gap from those 4 teams to the rest of the teams. And LP didn't even raise their play that much in game 3, PG just had a lot of errors.

Lone Peak fan here wanting to give props to the vikings. They were dominant all season long and once again in the state tournament. The Mendivil girl is something special. I think I heard she is going to BYU but can some one confirm that? I sure hope she is!

mendivil is going to arizona state. Hamson and dahl are BYU

Congrats to all of the coaches, staff, teams, parents, vb supporters, etc. This was a great season for all involved! LP's 7th straight time to the state finals is such an accomplishment. Be proud, you had a GREAT season.

We love you Deanna! Power To The Peak!!!

I have been in high coaching since 1963. I have seen many state tournaments in VB, FB, and BB. The matchup between PG and LP was awesome. Both teams came to play and both left it all on the court. There were tears of disappointment on the LP side, but they were not tears of defeat. Two teams that if they played again--flip a coin for the result.
If you didn't see it, you missed a great championship match.

PG won in an incredible display of power and defense. This year would not have been the year that a coin could have been flipped for a different result. This was the 3rd time this year that PG won in the PG/LP match-up. I have been watching these two teams play each other for a long time, and it's always a great match!
