Ute Wrestling Team Wins 4A State Title; Keddy Named 4A Coach of the Year

beating out the Mountain Crest team at 295 points. It's been 22 years since the last time

the Uintah Boys Wrestling Team took the state title and this weekend’s win was

especially exciting as Coach Phillip Keddy was also named the 4A Coach of the Year. It

was a wonderful weekend after a season of hard work. “I’m really proud of these kids

and the work they put in,” shares Coach Keddy. “They earned every bit of it and it was a

joy to coach this team!”
