Closing with Class
Tonight's 1A regional opener between the Central City Wildcats and the Springville Orioles probably wasn't even a blip on anyone's radar outside those two districts, but it was exactly what a great basketball game should be. Two long time rival teams stepped out onto the floor for the chance to play another day. It didn't matter that neither team was at the top of the Tri Rivers Conference. It didn't even matter that neither team has a winning regular season. All ...
Girls basketball notes: New-look Orioles showing growth
The golden age of girls’ basketball at Springville has passed. In its wake, an era of growth. After starting 2-7 in a year of transition, the Orioles have won five of their last six games and find themselves flirting with .500. “We’ve seen a lot of growth and improvement,” said Orioles Coach Brian O’Donnell. “We’re starting to click a little bit.” Gutted by graduation after two years of glory (a Class 1A state title in 2008, a runner-up finish in 2009), the Orioles ...

Oriole Ovation
From the fans came a standing ovation for the Springville Orioles, as they left the court with heavy hearts, after a hard fought battle that did not go the Orioles way. It was the end of the 2009 volleyball road for the Orioles, as Don Bosco took the match in four games to advance to the State Tourney. After losing two close games, the Orioles bounced back to win the third in a slightly quicker paced match-up. Momentum slipped away in game four when Don ...

*Chicka…Chicka…BOOM* Orioles Advance!
There was an air of excitement on the Oriole side of the gym....the fans sensed a win before the game had even begun. Maybe it was the sight of all the girls smiling...maybe it was the baked potato team dinner the night before...maybe it was just good old fashioned team spirit. Whatever it was, you could feel it when you walked in. The night belonged to the Orioles from the beginning, when the National Anthem singer was a no show, and Oriole ...
Orioles advance to Regional Semi Final
Orioles VS Prince of Peace, at Wheatland....Facing off across the net from Prince Of Peace, the Orioles took the lead from the start of game one, and stayed on top for nearly all of the three game match. Bolstered by sound defense, the Orioles Offense stepped up to keep the team alive in Regional play. Minus a starter due to illness, Springville once again filled that gap with Sophomore Alysha Dirks, who made the most of her time on the court, managing 6 kills ...
