SPRINGVILLE — It’s been a rough year for Springville High school. A young team in one of the most brutal 5A regions in the state, the Tigers had yet to get a win despite coming ever so close several times throughout the 2022 season. Despite the setbacks, Head Coach John Clements has managed to get great efforts out of his squad even if it didn’t translate to Ws on the scoreboard. Friday night, Springville got their first win over St. Clair County High School, 42-32.
The win reflects everything we love about sports. A coach who knows how to motivate and encourage young people through adversity and players who continue to compete no matter how tough the challenge.
Congratulations on your win, Springville. You deserve it.
