NSHS Hawks declaw ALA Eagles 48-0

2019 Homecoming-a memorable event JORI TURPIN

The Pyramid

MT. PLEASANT — North Sanpete’s homecoming went off without a hitch last week as the festivities concluded with a “cherry on top” victory by the Hawks football team. North Sanpete chalked up another victory with a whopping 48-0 score as they soared passed the American Leadership Eagles. During the first quarter, Hawks Connor Jorgensen and Payton Clawson each ran in a touch down for North Sanpete and Luis Rodriguez added the extra point for each putting the Hawks up 14-0. However, the second quarter was where the Hawks truly shined, as they added three more touchdowns to create a staggering lead. Only seconds into the second quarter, quarterback Landon Bowles completed a

20-yard pass to Jaxton Langschwager for the touchdown. Shortly after, Payton Clawson scored two more touchdowns for the Hawks giving North Sanpete a commanding 35-0 lead. The second half of the game proved just as successful as the Eagles couldn’t get anything going offensively as any attempts to move down the field were quickly cut off by the Hawk defense. During the third quarter, Connor Jorgensen was again able to carry a hand off into the end zone giving the Hawks a 42-0 lead. Whatever hope the Eagles had at closing the gap was gone as the Hawks continued to stop the Eagles and quickly regained the ball for more offensive opportunities. To finish off the game, during the fourth quarter Brayden Church ran

WA dedicates newly completed engineering building RAY LAFOLLETTE

MT. PLEASANT — Over 200 Wasatch Academy (WA) students, teachers, leaders, alumni and friends gathered together Sept. 21 to dedicate the recently completed engineering building located at 50 South State, Mt. Pleasant. The many people assembled were welcomed by Head of School Joseph Loftin who introduced many of the dignitaries in attendance. The fraternal society of The Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of Utah presented the cornerstone for the building and put it in place during

dedication ceremonies. Loftin also related a brief history of how the building came to be. He explained that there used to be three buildings on the location. The building on the north end of the three was being used as a shop to sell candles and crystals. The shop owner contacted Wasatch Academy with the desire to sell the building if WA was interested. The academy was indeed interested due to a need for added classroom space, so the school’s board of trustees agreed to purchase the building with the intent to repair the structure.

It was also learned that the other two buildings were for sale so the purchase of them was also completed. The initial plan and intention was to renovate, repair and use the buildings if possible. However, further analysis showed the buildings needed extensive repairs to save them and the costs to do those repairs were quite high. The recommendation was to demolish and rebuild a new structure. But the buildings were all listed on the National Historic Register as a protection to historic buildings. After discussions with the register, it was determined that the buildings

didn’t have a great historic impact and could be torn down. In August 2018, the three buildings were removed to make way for new construction. The new design for the building was considered to be great, but construction would take a considerable amount of money, over $1,000,000. During the search for funding, former WA alumni John Lee came forward with the majority of the money needed. Lee graduated from WA in 1958, then attended Arizona State where he majored in engineering. He Please see DEDICATES, Page A2

Special sculpture unveiled at WA Studio Arts RAY LAFOLLETTE

MT. PLEASANT — Aidann Rayner created a metal sculpture which was unveiled Sept. 21 in front of the Wasatch Academy (WA) Studio Arts Building, 90 South State, Mt. Pleasant; as a reminder of his twin brother, Dylan Rayner. During the special unveiling ceremony, WA Head of School Joseph Loftin explained that Dylan Rayner was a memorable past student who was involved as a winter sports athlete, top soccer player and was actively engaged in associating with students at the academy. “Dylan was a unifier,” said Loftin, “He brought people together and was an active leader for good

on the campus. He graduated in 2010, but tragically passed away five years ago.” Loftin related that, “Dylan’s father, Steve Rayner, was board president at WA at the time when Dylan passed, and I have desired to seek some type of memorial to commemorate Dylan.” Dylan’s twin brother, Aidann, did not attend WA but has become an artist by using Dylan’s equipment to build metal sculptures. Aidann was asked to build a sculpture to represent his brother’s many qualities of being a leader, guardian and protector at Wasatch Academy. The sculpture is now on display for all to see and appreciate.
