The final domino of Skyline's renovation fell Friday when the Granite School District officially opened the school's performing arts center, concluding a lengthy and challenging construction process that began with the passage of a $238 million bond in 2017 to rebuild Skyline and Cyprus high schools, along with other projects.

Pioneer football upends unbeaten Mustangs on their field
The Lehi High School football team rode a fast start to a spectacular 22-20 upset of previously-undefeated and No. 3 Herriman on the road on Friday (Sept. 25). The Mustangs took the ball first and made a runback to their own 20-yard line. After a short ground gain on first down, they were backed up by a false start penalty and then a bad snap flew over the quarterback’s head and into the end zone for a safety just seconds into the contest.

University of Utah economics merger stokes fears of impending layoffs.
The Salt Lake Tribune’s coverage of looming University of Utah layoffs is critical of the decision. And why wouldn’t they be? The announced changes could affect nearly 900 staff members. To sprinkle additional salt in the wound, the decision comes with a $10 million price tag for outside consultants. Still, the Trib listened to the U’s claim that no faculty will be impacted. That claim has already been proven false. The University of Utah Economics Department has long been an indicator species for the school’s ideological freedom. It has endured as a hotbed of heterodox leftist theory since the ‘90s but, as of this year, will be rolled into the business school’s Division of Quantitative Analysis of Markets and Organizations (QAMO)—which favors a traditionally stale “analysis plus capital plus execution” take on the subject—forcing out some truly talented economists. The layoffs will undoubtedly mask other such academic reorganizations to ensure the U stays perfectly bland in all matters.

Prep Rally: Goal-line play in American Fork-Lone Peak game a classic
The ending of the American Fork-Lone Peak game has been the most talked about moment in prep football in the Beehive State this year. In a game shown on the KJZZ Thursday Night Rivals broadcast, Lone trailed 28-24 and had the ball on American Fork’s 30-yard line with time for one more play. Needing a touchdown, the Knights’ Marshall Durfey threw toward the end zone where receiver Jaxon Cloward caught it and fell backwards. His body hit the end zone pylon but the officials ruled that the ball, however, didn’t go over the goal line but was just fractions short. The old proverb that “football is a game of inches” never rang truer.
