    This past month has really solidified that I was away too long. With HS baseball season in full bloom now, we've played some really funky high schools. East, West, Highland, Skyline, Olympus, Murray, Bountiful, Viewmont, Davis, Orem, Provo, Judge etc..... Those I've got. Don't need directions. But, here's a few of the teams we've played, or have seen play.....

    Wake(something)
    Fremont
    Lone Peak
    Salem Hills
    Canyon Hills? -- Sandy
    Stansbury
    Herriman
    Northridge?

    I'm pretty sure these are all less than 25 years old. Also, NEWSFLASH - Granite closed.

    West Lake? If so, that's in Saratoga Springs on the west side of Utah Lake. Proud home of Mia Love.

    Fremont
    Lone Peak
    Salem Hills
    Canyon Hills? -- Sandy
    Corner Canyon? It's in Sandy.

    Stansbury
    Stansbury is Stansbury Park. The high class end of Tooele.

    Herriman
    SW corner of the valley

    Northridge?
    Never been quite sure where Northridge is located.

    No nearly as many kids on the east side. Olympus was in a death spiral for a while too until they picked up all the kids from Granite. Then they rebuilt Olympus. You should check it out.

    Northridge is in Layton, kind of the north east side of the city.

    Proud Northridge alum! It is straight out the main gate from Hill Airforce base.

    Meanwhile, DesNews decries the destabilization of Utah County by all the outsiders, blames change to two hour sessions on the near-heathen.
