Football: Cottonwood's Taumoleau favors Arkansas
A Cottonwood High football lineman has a favorite school.

No, John Martinez hasn't decided between USC and UCLA.

Cottonwood's Percy Taumoleau, a 6-foot-4, 330-pound offensive lineman told Rivals.com recently that Arkansas is in the lead for his services.

Taumoleau recently played well at the Hawaii Prep Classic and his stock continues to rise among college football recruiters.

Taumoleau has offers from Washington State, Arizona, Hawaii and Arkansas. He plans to visit Arkansas on Jan. 9 and Washington State on Jan. 17.

Pleasant Grove volleyball star Brooke McAlister, who has signed to play for Utah, is the 2008-09 Utah Gatorade Player of the Year in volleyball.

McAlister, a 6-foot-1 senior outside hitter, had a .331 hitting percentage and averaged 7.9 digs per match in leading the Vikings to the 5A state championship game. She has a 3.48 GPA.

Southern Utah basketball coach Roger Reid announced today that junior guard Eules Thompson has been dismissed from the team for a violation of team rules. Thompson's departure presumably opens up a scholarship for the Thunderbirds, who recently signed a pair of Australians.

"It has always been my policy that what happens with the team stays within the team," Reid said, indicating he will have no further comment on the matter.
