Buechner burst onto the high school scene with an all-time performance as a freshman, finishing with 165 total points on 75 goals and 90 assists. The assists total is second in the country according to MaxPreps and the point total is a top 10 mark. Beuchner scored in double figures five times this season, including a pair of 11-point performances against Springville and Bountiful, respectively. Buechner’s play led the young Falcons team to a semifinal berth in the 6A state tournament.

Offensive MVP: Brooke Warren, Sr., Salem Hills

Warren helped lead the Skyhawks basketball team into the 5A semifinals in February and followed that up with a stunning performance in lacrosse. Salem Hills was the No. 2 seed and advanced to the semifinals behind the athletic Warren, who totaled 94 points on 70 goals and 24 assists while adding 324 draw controls.

Defensive MVP: Elise Hume, Fr. GK, Lone Peak

Hume is already a master at the toughest position in the game. As a freshman, Hume surrendered just 6.9 goals per match and had 70 saves in 162 shots on goal, a save percentage of .432.

Co-Coaches of the Year: Cliff Yerkes, Salem Hills and Michelle Buechner, Skyridge

The Skyhawks cruised through the regular season with a 17-1 record, their only loss to 6A Bingham. Salem Hills was just 1-14 in 2023 and made huge progress this season under Yerkes, advancing to the semifinals before losing to eventual 5A runner-up Olympus.

Buechner took perhaps the youngest team in the state and pushed the Falcons to a 17-4 record. Skyridge advanced to the 6A semifinals with an exciting 13-12 overtime win against rival Lone Peak in the quarterfinal round.
