A stellar offensive performance in the first half was enough to ultimately push Alta past Olympus 15-8 in a matchup of two of the top teams in the 5A Region 6 on Friday.
Alta was led by Braxton Horoba who had four goals on the night and Colby Blackham and JJ Massi, each with three goals apiece.
“I thought it was a great game and really hard fought,” said Alta head coach Brandon Horoba. “We came out in the beginning on fire and kept going throughout the first half.
“In the second half, we knew they were going to come out ready to go. They scored really quick and got some other ones which started to make it a lot closer. Our boys kind of buckled down when they needed to and some plays, so it was a really good win.”
Alta’s Kellen Torina (11) and Olympus’ Brady Battermann (44) both battle for possession of the ball during a high school boys lacrosse game between Olympus and Alta at Alta High School in Sandy on Friday, April 4, 2025.
