Cedar Valley and Westlake High Schools: Weekly Sports Roundup (April 28–May 4, 2025)

The final days of April and the start of May marked significant contests and moments for Cedar Valley and Westlake high schools. With spring sports seasons heading into the home stretch, both schools’ athletes continued to battle in region play and set the stage for postseason opportunities. Here’s a look at the action for local fans.

Sports Trivia: Did you know Utah’s high school baseball state tournament is among the oldest in the western United States, with the first official championship game dating back to 1915?

Cedar Valley High School

Baseball: The Aviators wrapped up a busy week with crucial outings in Region 9 action. On April 29, Cedar Valley squared off against Lehi, falling 7-1 amid a strong pitching display from the Pioneers. The Aviators rebounded during their home stand on May 2, notching a much-needed 5-4 win over Orem in a contest that was decided in the final inning. Senior pitcher Ethan Martinez had a standout performance, striking out eight and allowing just three earned runs over six innings. With the region tournament quickly approaching, Cedar Valley improved their postseason prospects with the win.

Girls Soccer: The Lady Aviators continued their late-season push with an April 30 home match against Timpanogos, falling 3-2 in a closely contested battle. Sophomore striker Alyssa Jensen netted both goals for Cedar Valley, keeping her among the region’s top scorers.

On April 29, the Thunder lost a tough 9-3 contest on the road, struggling to overcome an early six-run deficit. Westlake bounced back on May 1, securing a 6-5 win at home thanks to a decisive two-RBI single by junior outfielder Mason Griggs. The results keep Westlake in the top half of the region standings with one week remaining in the regular season.

Softball: The Lady Thunder traveled to Lone Peak on May 3, coming away with an 8-6 victory behind a strong pitching effort from sophomore Avery Turner and a three-hit day from senior catcher Maddie Holt.
