Springville Modified Football wraps up an incredible season undefeated with a perfect 7-0 record!
The Griff's closed out the season with a 26-0 shutout victory over Lake Shore in Game 7.
It was a slow start for the Griffs, but this team stayed together, continued to work hard, and trusted one another. They showed that success doesn't always come easy, but when you stay committed, support your teammates, and keep pushing forward, hard work pays off.
Proud of this group and everything they accomplished this season. The 7-0 record is something to celebrate, but the teamwork, growth, and commitment these players showed along the way are what make this season special.
It's not about being the best. It's about getting better every day.
Congratulations, Griff's! What a season!

Springville Modified Football Shuts Out Cleveland Hill, Improves to 6-0
Springville Modified Football continued its undefeated season Wednesday night with a convincing 33-0 victory over previously undefeated Cleveland Hill at Pop Warner Field, improving the Griffs' record to 6-0.
The Griffs played as one from start to finish, delivering an outstanding performance on both sides of the ball. Defensively, Springville showcased textbook tackling, with all 11 players pursuing the ball, maintaining gap responsibility, and executing their assignments. Timely interceptions and key pass breakups by the secondary helped secure the shutout.
The offense was equally impressive, with strong blocking at the line of scrimmage and sustained effort downfield. The Griffs finished the night with more than 300 yards of offense, demonstrating the importance of teamwork and execution.
Springville will travel to Lake Shore next Wednesday for its final game of the season, with kickoff scheduled for 5:30 p.m.
Go Griffs!

Last week, Springville Middle School students who were recognized for the character trait of citizenship were treated to a walking field trip to the Springville Dairy!
The Springville Modified Boys soccer team earned another great home win today, topping Eden 4–1!
The boys played absolutely fantastic soccer from start to finish. It was a complete team effort with every level contributing—from the goalie and defense holding strong, to the midfield and offense connecting pass after pass. The team worked together so well, transitioning smoothly up the field and creating great plays all game long.
An awesome, total team performance by the boys. Great job, Springville!

Final score: Griffins 40, Bulldogs 20.
Come out and cheer on our Varsity Griff's this Friday night for Homecoming. The parade starts at 5:30.

The SGI Cross Country team competed at the 2026 McQuaid Invitational on October 3 at Genesee Valley Park. The meet featured a very deep field from New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Canada, and beyond.
The team had an outstanding day, highlighted by a dominant individual victory from senior captain Elke Melnik.
Melnik won the Girls Varsity A-1 race, covering the 3-mile course in 18:27.5. She established herself as one of the strongest runners in the entire small-school field of close to 300 runners.
The girls showed tremendous depth behind Melnik. Hazel Zielen-Ersing finished 12th in 19:26.6, followed immediately by Caitlyn Rzepecki in 13th at 19:27.3. Senior Isabella Bogner ran 20:42.3 for 50th, while Deseray Hines added a 21:15.1 performance in 74th.
That gave Springville the top team spot with a scoring total of 150 points, with the first three runners all finishing inside the top 13. Most impressively, the team put together a three-runner pack separated by only 59.8 seconds, an excellent sign heading toward championship season.
The boys were led by Damien Shea, who ran 18:01.7, placing 91st in a highly competitive A-1 field. Brendan Wantuck followed in 111th at 18:22.0, while Frank Keeton and Frederick Heary ran nearly identical times of 19:17.5 and 19:18.1. Matthew Becker rounded out the scoring five in 20:10.1.
The biggest takeaway was the strength of the girls' team. Winning the race individually while putting three runners in the top 13 demonstrates both front-end quality and team depth. Melnik's 18:27.5 was particularly impressive, coming against a field that included several of the area's strongest small-school programs.
For the boys, the McQuaid field provided a valuable championship-level test. The spread from Shea to the fifth runner was just over 2:08, and the tight grouping of Keeton and Heary gives Springville something to build on as the postseason approaches.
In modified action, Emma Barrio was Springville Girls' top finisher, and Sawyer Fuhrman was the top modified Boys finisher.
