It took 46 years, but South Sevier High is now an All-Sports champ.
South Sevier enjoyed its most successful athletics season in school history during the 2024-25 school year, and was crowned the 2A champs in the 46th annual Deseret News All-Sports Awards.
Four of the other six classifications featured repeat champs — Lone Peak (6A), Ridgeline (4A), Morgan (3A) and Panguitch (1A) — with Panguitch tying the overall record with its 11th-straight 1A crown.
Timpview ended a 15-year drought as it narrowly edged Olympus to claim the 5A title.
The Deseret News All-Sports award denotes the top overall athletic program in each of the six classifications. Schools earn All-Sports points for placing in the top eight at state. Ten points are awarded for first, eight for second, six for third, five for fourth, four for fifth, three for sixth, two for seventh and one for eighth. Points are divided when teams tie.
Schools earn points in football, cross-country, golf, basketball, wrestling, swimming, baseball, track, soccer, tennis, volleyball, softball, lacrosse, competitive cheer and drill. This is the first year the last two sports are calculated into the team total.
While South Sevier and Timpview enjoyed rare wins, for the other schools it was business as usual.
Lone Peak has been crowned 6A champ all seven years since the UHSAA added the sixth classification for the 2017-18 school year. Prior to that, it won two titles in 5A, bringing its active streak to nine straight. No All-Sports champs were named during the COVID-shortened 2019-20 school year.
Ridgeline repeated as 4A champ, winning three of the past four titles, while Morgan won for the seventh-straight time in 3A.
Panguitch’s dominance continues to be better than anyone else. The Bobcats won the 1A All-Sports title for the 11th-straight year this school year, tying the consecutive record of 11 straight set by Brighton from 1980 to 1991.
Desert Hills won 10 straight from 2010-21, but its record-tying attempt was halted two seasons ago by Ridgeline. No award was given during the 2019-20 season because of COVID-19, otherwise Desert Hills’ streak likely would’ve reached 11 — and Panguitch likely would already be at 12.
Every school but nine in the entire state received at least one All-Sports point.
Here’s a look at each classification.
Class 6A
Lone Peak set a new All-Sports points record during the 2024-25 school year, racking up 131 points, including points in all but six sports.
Lone Peak’s previous points record of 129.5 was set during the 2022-23 school year.
Corner Canyon finished second in the 6A standings for the second-straight year with 98.5 points, with American Fork in third with 87.5 points.
Davis, Mountain Ridge and Bingham rounded out the top six.
For Lone Peak’s girls, with six state titles (volleyball, cross-country, soccer, basketball, swimming and golf), it finished with 78.5 All-Sports points. Lone Peak’s girls alone outscored every 6A, 5A and 4A school but five.
Lone Peak’s boys scored All-Sports points in 10 of 12 sports, but no state titles. The Knights finished runner-up in football, golf and tennis.
American Fork’s boys were the most dominant in 6A, tallying 63.5 points, including titles in swimming, track, soccer and tennis.

Eleven different 6A schools won state titles.
Class 5A
Timpview only scored four more All-Sports points this school year than the previous year, but that was barely enough to lead the T-Birds to their first title in 15 years.
Timpview racked up 74.5 points, edging Olympus by a half-point, for its first All-Sports title since the 2008-09 school year.
Timpview won state titles in boys tennis, girls track and girls cross-country.
A year after winning 5A with 101.5 points and a school record six state titles, Olympus dipped a bit in 2024-25 with only three state titles and 74 points to finish 5A runner-up. Bountiful finished third with 68 points.
Wasatch, Brighton and Skyline rounded out the top six in 5A.
For Timpview, in addition to its three state titles, it had two other runner-up finishes and two top-four finishes.
Olympus’ runner-up finish included three state championships (boys basketball, boys swimming and girls soccer).
Bountiful (football, girls volleyball and drill), Skyline (boys golf, girls volleyball and girls swimming), Spanish Fork (boys swimming and baseball) and Woods Cross (girls tennis and girls golf) were the only other 5A schools to win multiple state titles.

Orem finished third with 80, with Crimson Cliffs, Desert Hills and Snow Canyon rounding out the top six.
Ridgeline’s lone state title game was in girls basketball, as the Riverhawks three-peated. It finished in the top four in 10 other sports, with runner-up finishes in drill and girls golf.
Ridgeline’s girls teams accounted for 57.5 of the 95.5 team points. Last year, it won with only 81.5 points.

Class 3A
Morgan was the class of 3A once again, racking up a school-record 129 All-Sports points on its way to a seventh-straight 3A title.

Eight other 3A schools won at least one state championship, with Judge Memorial winning three (boys lacrosse, boys and girls swimming). Grantsville won two (girls tennis, softball)
The last school to win a 3A All-Sports title other than Morgan was Desert Hills in 2016-17, the last year before it jumped to 4A.
Class 2A
South Sevier finished 10th in the 2A All-Sports standings a year ago with 35.5 points.
A year later, the school soared past that total with 92.5 points, a shocking 57-point improvement that simply never happens to claim its first-ever All-Sports title.
South Sevier’s boys went from 20.5 points to 39 points, whereas the girls teams went from 15 points to a whopping 53.5 points. Combined, it was enough to top North Summit, which finished 2A runner-up with 80.5 points.
Last year’s champ Beaver finished third with 74.5 points, with Rowland Hall, Millard and Kanab rounding out the top six.
South Sevier won four state titles (boys golf, baseball, girls basketball and softball) and also had three runner-up finishes during the 2024-25 school year. It scored points in 15 of the 18 sports it participated in. A year ago, the Rams didn’t win a single state championship and only scored points in eight sports.
North Summit (girls cross-country, track, all-girls cheer) and Beaver (football, girls golf, coed cheer) each won three state titles to place in the top three of the All-Sports standings.
Rowland Hall (boys and girls swimming), Millard (boys cross-country, boys wrestling, boys track) and Duchesne (drill and girls wrestling) were the only other schools to capture multiple state titles.

Rich finished a distant second with 74 points, with Monticello in third with 63 points.
Milford, Valley and Altamont rounded out the top six.
Panguitch won seven state titles — two more than last school year — and also finished top four in two other sports. Two years ago, Panguitch tallied 73.5 points to win the 1A crown, which speaks to how dominant the school was this school year, tallying 92 points.
Panguitch won state titles in boys basketball, baseball, boys and girls track, girls volleyball and girls cross-country.
The last 1A school to win other than Panguitch was St. Joseph back in the 2012-13 school year.
