Ute Wrestling Team Wins 4A State Title; Keddy Named 4A Coach of the Year
After a fantastic showing of endurance and athleticism, the Uintah High Ute wrestling
team are the 4A state champions! The Ute team earned an accumulative 332.5 points
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!”
Of course a state title means that the individual team members
had a great weekend of competition. Brady Merkley was named the 4A Outstanding
Wrestler for the lower weights group. Merkley is a three time state champion as a Junior.
In this weekend’s competition, Clayson Mele (120), Brady Merkley (132), Josh Holmes
(138), Austin Richens (170), and Will Price (182) each won state titles. Other top placers
