The 2A Utah State Baseball Championships commenced on Saturday, May 8 at Beaver High School and the Monticello Buckaroos were in attendance to face the undefeated and #5-ranked Enterprise Wolves.
Due to sparse stats, all that can be reported is that the Bucks were blanked 15-0 in the opening round of the double-elimination tournament by Enterprise.

The Monticello girls golf team had another successful week when they traveled to Morgan on Tuesday, April 27 to play the Round Valley Golf Course, home of the North Summit Lady Braves.

The Monticello High School girls golf team finally got their season off the ground when they traveled to Sterling for a region match at the Palisade State Park Golf Course on Tuesday, April 13.
To say the 2021 team is young and inexperienced is spot on, however, what the team lacks in experience it makes up for in grit, determination, and a great attitude according to head coach Nathan Chamberlain.

After a week off for Easter, the Monticello High School boys and girls track and field teams were back in action on Friday, April 9 with a short bus trip to Blanding for the San Juan County Championships.

The Monticello High School baseball team began the past week without a win on the season. In fact, when they hosted Altamont on Tuesday, March 30, it had almost been two years since the Bucks had won a baseball game.
This was, of course, partially due to COVID-19 wiping out all last season, but it went without saying that MHS was due for a win. As it turned out, the week was good to the team.

The week following spring break is always challenging for students and athletes to get back into the swing of things after enjoying a little relaxation and time off.
This proved to be the case for the Monticello Baseball team as they traveled to their first region game of the season and hosted their first home game of the season.

It may have been Spring Break 2021, but a handful of team members from the Monticello track and field teams took some time off from relaxing and having fun to attend two different meets in Price on Friday, March 19 and in St. George on Friday and Saturday, March 19-20.
At the Carbon Invitational in Price, a small Monticello boys team was one of 20 teams in attendance from all over the state.

On a stormy, cold, blustery Saturday, March 13 in Moab, the Monticello track and field teams started the season at the 2021 Red Rocks Invitational hosted by the Grand County Red Devils.
What a difference a year makes. Almost exactly one year after the track and field teams had their season wiped out by COVID-19, Monticello was able to start the track season at its usual first meet of the season.

For the first time since joining the 2A classification two years ago, the Monticello boys basketball team earned a trip to the Sevier Valley Center in Richfield to play in the state quarterfinals with a shot at a state title.
Standing in their way was a formidable foe – the #2-ranked Layton Christian Eagles. The two teams had not played each other this season and had no common opponents, so the matchup promised to be interesting.

For the first time since joining the 2A classification two years ago, the Monticello boys basketball team (9-10 / 4-6) earned a first-round bye in the state playoffs.
However, the Bucks wouldn’t have it easy if they wanted to make it to Richfield for the third round having to go on the road to face the Region 16 champion Duchesne Eagles (11-9 / 7-3) in Duchesne on Friday, February 19.

With the 2020-2021 regular season drawing to a close, the 1-17 Monticello girls basketball team hosted undefeated Dove Creek in an intrastate game on Wednesday, February 10.

For the second year in a row, the Monticello High School boys basketball team did what they hadn’t been able to do for years – win back-to-back home games against the Grand County Red Devils.
On Tuesday, January 19 the Buckaroos not only did that, besting the visitors by the score of 63-58, but they also handed the visitors their first loss of the season, dropping the Red Devils to 12-1 on the season.
