Guest Opinion: Jurisdiction is complicated. Kids still need to cross Timpanogos Highway.
When my kids returned to school in Lehi this August, so did my worries. There were plenty of them — that’s part of being a mother. But one loomed largest: The pedestrian crossing at Timpanogos Highway and Center Street. Hundreds of students cross the busy highway every weekday, to and from Viewpoint Middle and Skyridge High schools. And it felt like an accident was waiting to happen.

High school football: Mountain Ridge remains unbeaten in blowout victory over Herriman
Mountain Ridge won its eighth game of the season Friday night against Herriman, but blowing past the Mustangs 45-7 might have meant just a bit more than any other victory for the undefeated Sentinels. “It’s always good to beat an in-city rival,” Mountain Ridge head coach Nick Robins said. “You can pretend all you want about this game just being another game, but it’s not. “I’m just proud of our guys that they were ready to go and we won the game.” For one quarter it looked like the rivals were in for a close contest, but then the Sentinels exploded for 28 points in the second quarter, essentially putting the game out of reach before halftime. “They had some stuff that we weren’t ready for on film,” Robins said of the tight first quarter. “We just kind of adjusted to what they were doing.” The adjustments worked like a charm in a game that seemed pretty evenly matched, as the sides entered the night as the only unbeaten squads in Region 2, tied in the standings with 3-0 records. But that of course changed quickly, and Mountain Ridge’s win only adds to what has been its best ever record
