By: Rheagen Hartfiel It was the start of what we thought was going to be an amazing year for the seniors. Many seniors were preparing for their spring sports hoping to finish off with a bang and prove how far they have come and how hard they have worked.
On April 14, 2020 all Utah school sports were cancelled due to Coronavirus and this broke a lot of seniors’ hearts. No one knew this day would ever happen. Everyone is devastated for these seniors especially all their coaches and parents. Seniors Dillon Marble, Dallas Moyes, Kati Gibbs, Emily Laumann, Carter Christensen, Braxton Stokes, and Bracken Bjorn were all interviewed and asked for their thoughts on the cancelled spring season. Dillon Marble has been on the baseball team all four years. Marble feels very sad with his season being cut short because, even though he plays other sports, baseball is his favorite. He also looked forward to playing on the team with his younger brother: “I just wished that I could have finished the season especially where Garrison was on the team. I always looked forward to playing with him, so I wish I could have finished it out.” Dallas Moyes has been a part of the soccer program all four years. Moyes has worked very hard for his final year and feels like he has been robbed. He said, “One thing I wished I could have done is shined senior year. I feel like I have always been slept on and I wanted this to be my year.” Kati Gibbs has been on the softball team all four years. Gibbs feels like all the hard work that she has put in has been taken away because of one simple little thing. Gibbs says, “Not getting to play, not getting to hangout with my teammates, throwing away my senior night speech, cancelling my last banquet, and losing my last chance to take state has been unthinkable.” Emily Laumann is a part of the track team and feels during this time “as if something I love was just ripped from my hands.” Laumann wishes that she could have had the chance to qualify and compete at state. She was only two seconds away from qualifying. Laumann has been training and working really hard and then all of a sudden her chance was taken away from her. Carter Christensen has been on the tennis team since his freshman year. Christensen says he is “disappointed that [he] has worked so hard since his freshman year” and now it’s cancelled. Christensen was looking forward to playing at state. State is always such an excitement because it makes you feel like all your hard work has paid off. Braxton Stokes is a part of the rugby team along with nine other seniors. They all felt they had a lot to offer and were waiting to do such amazing things this season. Stokes said, “I was really excited to see what we could do.” Bracken Bjorn is a part of the lacrosse team. Bjorn has put in a lot of time and effort to show what he's got. Bjorn and his team worked really hard over the past couple years to bring Bear River a successful lacrosse team. He was bummed that they didn't get a chance to show everyone. “I wish I could have had a senior night to honor my best friends and their dedication to me and each other,” says Bjorn. All of these seniors expressed great disappointment and wish they could have had their spring season. While these wishes are unfulfilled due to a global pandemic, we wish them the best as they move forward with their otherwise bright futures.
