What's happening at Corner Canyon reminds me of what happened at Lone Peak.

Recruiting?

...which is funny because it’s not like kids at Alta are poor

All those disadvantaged Pepperwood youth!

As I always say, anything west of Wasatch Blvd might as well be the copper mine

That's 99% of suck lake valley

It was tough.

I think they’re dominating because people want to play for Kjar. He’s the

Massive amounts of kids in each program. Plenty of money for private training. Great coaching

BlueFrog

How much of their success is kids coming from outside normal boundaries?

Joe Banks

8/29/20 8:37am

Alta always had rich kids and families.

Alta had rich kids and families... back in the day.

Affluent schools rise to the top

SlantRoute

It was interesting to see when CC was built

Copelius

8/29/20 9:03am

We had a few people in the CC boundaries send their kids to Alta b/c they didn’t

This is exactly the type of things Hypnotoad is referring to. I don’t know why people are mocking it. He’s right.

8/29/20 9:13am

Those are the type of parents that raise athletes.. at least that can be

cougfanz

8/29/20 9:52am

Thats the 'East' affect... You pull in transfers to keep your program relevant

TheLost

8/29/20 9:59am

Yep. And isn't it a little concerning that these are public schools?

Hypnotoad

8/29/20 9:36am

East St. Louis wants a word.

I miss the days of Bingham/Alta being the game of the year

arizonacougarfan

8/29/20 9:08am

Where does Bingham fall on the economic scale?

mokelembembe

8/29/20 9:25am

Pretty high. South Jordan/Daybreak ain’t exactly the slums

LifelongAP

8/29/20 9:30am

Draper and Alpine are still a lot more affluent than Bingham’s community

SlantRoute

8/29/20 9:34am

Bingham went more the poly route during their domination

cougfanz

8/29/20 9:42am

Bingham is running out of kids.. Families are moving to 'New' areas.

TheLost

8/29/20 9:47am

Yeah, wasn’t Cottonwood dominant at one point?

SlantRoute

8/29/20 9:50am

That was a little different.. polys + transfers + Cate/money when few others

cougfanz

8/29/20 10:00am

Agree. Population shifts have the biggest influence in the fall of these

If everyone in my boundaries would’ve gone to Hillcrest instead of skyline, we

Kids drive from Bingham/S. Jordan to East HS now... nothing has changed.

TheLost

8/29/20 10:29am

True. East is also somewhat of a powerhouse now

LifelongAP

8/29/20 10:34am

they would have been in the state championship game just 7 of the 15 years instead of the 13 out of 15 that they were?

BlueFrog

8/29/20 10:32am

Yeah their decline would have come sooner.

J-Rod

8/29/20 12:31pm

Yep, that's what happened to Taylorsville with baseball.

J-Rod

8/29/20 12:29pm

You can say the same thing about timpview right?

SoValleyCOUG

8/29/20 9:12am

Early Tv reign yes.. similar with rich kids plus superior coaching

cougfanz

8/29/20 10:04am

Timpview actually has the 2nd most low income students in Utah County

mokelembembe

8/29/20 10:12am

Plus all the recruiting they do helps.

WDaddy

8/29/20 1:42pm

And now AF is rising too. Because that area of the valley is getting more $$.

Turnpike Lane

8/29/20 9:17am

Yep. I was going to make a joke about Alta just having to wait 20 years because

Hypnotoad

8/29/20 9:39am

Crazy thing is they’re doing it without the polys

cougfanz

8/29/20 9:24am

Wilson = half Poly

It’s weird to live in Riverton boundaries. It’s like every other single school

blackandblue

8/29/20 9:32am

Yea surprising that Riverton never figure it out.. heard they have crazy parents

cougfanz

8/29/20 9:41am

Riverton had a great program (beat Alta & Bingham a few times)..

The success at Corner Canyon is 75% coaching...if Kjar left and went to another

Yep, he ripped into Dart last night after Dart made a big 20 yard run

SlantRoute

$$$ may be why Kjar is at CC instead if Jordan

Cougarbib

It’s all coaching

Coaching. Bingham was a dynasty. Not so much now. Timpview was a
