Orem • Tanner Anderson’s performance in Monday afternoon’s 5A state baseball elimination game at Utah Valley University posed one puzzling question. How did this guy lose three games this year? Anderson pitched a four-hit shutout to help Copper Hills to a 5-0 win over Taylorsville. “He’s been doing that all year. He’s been throwing really well. The trouble we’ve had is getting him to finish. He’s been going four, five or six innings but he finished today,” said Copper Hills coach John Morgan. “I...

But when the Beetdiggers batted, Shaver was well protected by a trio of college-bound prospects. And in the field, Shaver was squatting behind the plate, his face hidden by a mask. This year, however, there’s no doubt all eyes are on the strapping junior. Shaver has taken on an increased role, and he has excelled. Shaver h...

The question around the courts at the Class 2A boys’ tennis state tournament where Waterford senior Jay T. Anderson played was simple. It wasn’t how many games he was going to lose to opponents but how many points. That’s because the latter was even a manageable number to track as Anderson dominated in both the quarterfinal and semifinal rounds Saturday at Liberty Park. But Anderson dropped the first game in the No. 1 singles title match to Rowland Hall’s Bryce Baker. Was Anderson, who had won ...
