SPRINGVILLE — Both teams are 3-0 on the season, and both are projected contenders for the Region 8 title.
But with the proximity and history of the players, Friday night's Maple Mountain-Springville game is more than just a region opener.
You can watch the game on live.ksl.com beginning at 7 p.m. MT, with a 30-minute pregame show from Springville High's campus starting at 6:30 p.m. on KSL 5 TV.
