Michelle Kersey-Smith, Roy High School
"Why Mrs. Kersey?: I had Mrs. Kersey all three years of high school and everyday, I genuinely looked forward to seeing her and being in class! I knew when I walked in, I would be greeted with a warm welcome and smile. She always knew when I was having a bad day even when I tried to be subtle about it and when she noticed, she took it upon herself to give me and any other student who needed one, a pep talk and a hug! She always had snacks for us and made sure that our whole class got a birthday gift from her. Mrs. Kersey was a listening ear when I needed one and someone that I could always count on to make me feel at peace when I was having a hard time finding any. She is genuinely the most compassionate person that I have ever met and I think that she would be perfect for this award. Mrs. Kersey always said that she was grateful to be a little grain of sand on our beach but, I can confidently say that she was so much more to me!"

High school football: Top-seed Skyridge advances to the 6A semifinals with narrow win over American Fork
A very strong defensive showing by the top-seeded Skyridge Falcons pushed them past the No. 8 American Fork Cavemen 28-21 in the quarterfinals of the 6A state playoffs Friday. Skyridge quarterback Jagger Fountaine led his team to victory with two touchdowns through the air and an 11-yard rushing score. Eli Mortsensen had two scores on the night — one rushing and one receiving from Fountaine. While his team put up enough points to get the job done, it was the defense that Falcons head coach Justin Hemm was most pleased with. “The defense was great all night. I thought, especially during the second half, we kind of buckled down and did some things that were huge, keeping us in it,” he said. “We had some opportunities there in the third quarter where we weren’t able to score in the red zone. The defense kept battling and gave our offense opportunities.” This season has been anything but easy for Skyridge on its way to earning the top seed in the postseason tournament. Hemm could not be prouder of his team’s perseverance and mentality throughout the year. “These boys have had a goal and a vision and have done a great job
