1+ week, 6+ day ago (576+ words) PLAIN CITY " A shining junior class is the bulwark of the Fremont girls basketball team this year, but overall, it's also one of the deepest rosters for 16th-year coach Lisa Dalebout since their last state title in 2021. The Silverwolves tip off the season at defending Region 8 champion Payson on Thursday in the interest of setting a high bar for themselves from the jump, Dalebout said during practice last week. Fremont's concentration isn't on last year's 72-38 6A quarterfinal loss to Bingham but on why they won't let it happen again. "We're more experienced " we're not going to have that," Dalebout said of last year's tournament finish. "They're more experienced, they've worked together, and these girls have played together since they were little, and there's something to say to that (because) you don't get that very often " especially in this era " you get…...

And like a covered pot, Fremont rapidly boiled over on West Field 65-3 in the schools" first-ever football meeting for a coveted fifth Region 5 win Thursday at Moyes Field. Fremont"s 65 points marks the highest single-game sum in school history. Numerous first-quarter chances bought by the Longhorns (6-3, 4-2 Region 5) defensively simply evaporated when asked to answer on the other end. The first of two interceptions thrown by West Field sophomore quarterback Easton Eilertson, later replaced by senior wide receiver and kicker Jaden Fowers in the second half, set the Silverwolves (7-2, 5-0) up for success early. Senior Cade Hadley put the Silverwolves in front 7-0 after Slade Parker ripped off the first of two Eilertson picks, and fellow senior Chase Blanch kept…...

2+ mon, 5+ day ago (630+ words) PLAIN CITY " There is something about Farmington High football that Fremont can't figure out. Thursday night, the Silverwolves fell 24-17 to their teal-and-white kryptonite, now in different regions. Fremont is now 1-5 against Farmington, including last year's road loss that saw the Phoenix and Silverwolves share the Region 1 title. Thursday saw the Phoenix (3-4) outscore Fremont 14-0 in the fourth quarter and make two fourth-down stops in the final minutes. Fremont (5-2) didn't have leading receiver Salesi Moa (targeting penalty suspension) and rusher Cade Hadley (injury) for the game, which certainly complicated things. But Silverwolves head coach Nate Tuatagloa said Fremont's problems went a little deeper Thursday. "I think we felt like we could just show up and do whatever we wanted to; we didn't execute nothing. Every play, we had a missed assignment somewhere and it just showed," Tuatagaloa said. "Good on Farmington, man,…...

3+ mon, 1+ week ago (1030+ words) KAYSVILLE " A point here. A point there. In the end, it was an extra point that made all the difference in the world for Fremont football on Friday night. Cam Graves, who had not even kicked once in the game for Fremont, tacked on that extra point after Cade Hadley tied the game in overtime, and the Silverwolves survived a scintillating 35-34, nonregion road victory over Davis. Hadley bulled in for a 2-yard touchdown run to knot it at 34-all, followed by a Graves PAT to send the Fremont crowd into a frenzy. Davis (1-1) had the first possession in overtime and scored on a 13-yard pass from senior quarterback Tradon Bessinger to Tyson Baggett in a crowded back of the end zone. But the all-important PAT failed when the snap was fumbled and Baggett's scramble, and subsequent pass, fell incomplete, leaving…...

On a 94-degree night in a huge match against neighboring Weber, it wasn't difficult for Fremont High's girls volleyball team to follow coach Analaine Mailoto's mantra. "We have a saying: don't take it easy; sweat the whole time. If you're not sweating, you're not working hard enough," Mailoto said. "It was so competitive; we had to work really hard." Fremont rallied from a one-set deficit, winning three straight to wear down the Warriors 3-1 (22-25, 25-23, 25-17, 25-22) on Tuesday night in what is now a nonregion rivalry. For those not aware of the change, the disconnect is displayed on an old banner in the "Wolf Den" that has the logos of six 6A Region 1 teams (including Fremont and Weber), a reminder of days gone by, as the Silverwolves are now part of a newly redesigned Region 5 in the…...
