4A State Champions
It’s been a rare occurrence for the Orem Tigers to be forced onto their back foot this year, as they’ve lost only three games the entire season — two to 6A’s top teams in Corner Canyon and Skyridge, and the third to Green Canyon.
It’s only natural then that Orem’s final test in the 4A state championship match Friday night was to get revenge against the rolling Green Canyon Wolves, but it wasn’t just a chance at getting back at Green Canyon. It was also an opportunity to redeem last year’s championship match loss to Desert Hills.
Fortunately for the Tigers, they withstood a reverse sweep Friday to beat Green Canyon, 25-22, 25-20, 25-27, 21-25 and 15-8.
Orem desperately needed the short-term memory Friday. The Tigers looked polished to start and set up their block early while the Wolves struggled to clean up their mistakes (they had five service errors in the first set). Then, when Orem took the second set 25-20, it looked like it was going to be a quick 3-0 win, but Green Canyon wasn’t so keen on allowing that to happen.
Whereas before they struggled to hit around the Tigers’ block, they started to excel by getting ahead of it. Orem also started playing more reserved and Green Canyon took advantage with back-to-back set wins.
That coaching advice made all the difference in Set 5, especially for freshman phenom and outside hitter Meilani Akana.
Akana had a chance in the third set to put Green Canyon away, as she had a sequence of kills and an ace to force a 24-22 set point, but she gave up a service error and Green Canyon wrested the momentum away en route to a 27-25 set win. She was determined not to let that happen again. With the Tigers holding a slim 9-7 lead, Akana had a sequence of three kills, two aces and a dig to clutch out the 15-8 championship-sealing set win. Akana, who is a member of the U17 Brazilian national team, had a team-high 25 kills and three aces Friday in the win.
Orem junior Madi Scott also had 16 kills, and senior Haven Michaelis had 10.
Friday’s championship is the third title in four years for Orem.
Orem Football
Orem Tigers roll Timpview 55-7 in 1st round, advance to play PG in Quarterfinals.
Tanner Lewis and Brooks Ross led No. 2 seed Orem to a dominant 55-7 victory over Timpview in the 5A first round on Friday. Lewis threw six touchdown passes, four of them to Ross, who finished with 105 receiving yards. Orem, the defending 5A champions, built a 35-7 halftime lead and never looked back. Po Faumui added two touchdowns, highlighting his season total of 12 across multiple categories. Orem's overpowering defense, allowing just 14 points per game, stifled the Thunderbirds.
Tigers will host PG in Quartefinals, 11/6 @ 7:00 pm.
Girls 4A State Champions!
Orem’s girls, which hadn’t won a state championship since 2002, emerged victorious from a deep group of contenders at Sugar House Park, tallying 96 points to finish comfortably ahead of runner-up Timpanogos’. Orem’s top finisher en route to the elusive team title was freshman Sydney Eraso, who came across in seventh place.
“This season has been so hard, and we’ve just had to work so hard together and it’s just awesome to see it pay off,” said Orem coach Marie Glahn. “To see the kids do everything and sacrifice for each other, like, this was full a team effort."
Girls took 1st, Boys finished 4th.
