PLEASANT VIEW -- While football signings grab a share of the attention on national signing day thanks to sheer volume, the local soccer seniors made their presence felt as well.

And likely will make their presence felt at universities across the nation over the next 4-5 years.

PLEASANT VIEW -- The statistics were eerily similar across the board. Both the Weber Warriors and the Northridge Knights had 22 field goals. They each had 25 rebounds apiece.

Friday's Region 1 game came down to the last shot in the final second of the game. Down by one, Northridge guard Preston Christensen took an inbounds pass the length of the floor with 7.4 seconds left on the clock and sank the winning runner from five feet out to propel the Knights to a thrilling 58-57 victory.

PLEASANT VIEW -- The state 5-A runner-up Titans are hitting their stride, but how do you combat the state's highest-scoring girls basketball team?

Three-time defending Region 1 champion Syracuse High pulverized the Warriors -- outscoring Weber 47-25 in the second half -- to remain undefeated with a decisive 80-52 victory Friday in Richard R. Conolly Gymnasium.

There are new faces on the city council as three new council members were sworn in recently. Jerold Burns, Mel Marker and Toby Mileski are now on the city council.

Mayor Doug Clifford thanked outgoing council members Tim Hjorten, Mae Ferguson and Todd Walker for their service to the city.

“I appreciate the time that I had serving on the city council,” said Ferguson. She served for six years and said the city staff and office employees had been so good to work with. She said she hoped the new council members would enjoy being on the city council as she had. Ferguson also made one request, that the walking path be completed with benches and trees.

Walker also said he had enjoyed serving on the council and said Pleasant View was a great city to live in. Hjorten was not present in the meeting.

PLEASANT VIEW -- The Warriors trailed until the fourth quarter when junior guard Hayden Schenk sparked Weber's offense and led his team to a 64-58 win over Region 1 powerhouse Davis Tuesday night.

Schenk scored a game-high 27 as Richard R. Conolly gymnasium exploded when he scored the go-ahead bucket with 4:57 left to play.

PLEASANT VIEW — Police Chief Scott Jackson says the day following an article in the Standard-Examiner explaining the need for new radar equipment, the Pleasant View Police Department received an anonymous donation of $9,000 to pay for three radar units.

Jackson said he is grateful to the donor and to the Standard-Examiner for running the story.

Council members recently approved the purchase of two of the five needed radar units. With the $9,000 donation, all five units will now be purchased.
