Top THS runner

Tooele High's Sam Mitchell finished with the best time for the Buffs at the Footlocker Cross Country Championships last week in Walnut, Calif. Mitchell ran the course in 18:48 to lead his squad. Twenty runners from Tooele along with several runners from Grantsville participated in the national event.

Schedule changes

There have been some changes to the Tooele High School sports schedule after it was printed in calendar form earlier this summer. The sports schedule calendars are displayed at various businesses throughout the community. The calendar shows a boys basketball game for Friday with Granger at Tooele. Instead of playing Granger, Tooele will travel to West High for a game on Dec. 21. The calendar also shows the Tooele-Grantsville basketball game for Jan. 2 at Grantsville. Instead, that game will be played in Tooele. The calendar also shows a girls basketball game pitting Tooele and Grantsville. That game will not be played. The original schedule was submitted several months before the season started and some changes were necessary.
