High school boys soccer: Olympus beats Alta for the first time in at least 25 years
Olympus celebrates scoring against Alta in a boys soccer game at Alta High School in Sandy on Tuesday, April 28, 2026. | Laura Seitz, Deseret News On Tuesday, Olympus did something it hasn’t done in at least 25 years. The Deseret News’ boys soccer records go back to the 2000-2001 season, and since then, Alta has been a perfect 8-0 against the Titans.
The Hawks, who are the defending 5A champs, have also been one of the favorites to repeat this year. Before Tuesday, they had a perfect 9-0 region record and were undefeated at home. All of that was spoiled for Alta on Tuesday as Olympus went into Sandy, and for the first time in at least 25 years, left with a 2-1 victory.
“It’s definitely a great win and definitely a good confidence booster,” said Olympus head coach Isaac James. “This Alta team, they’ve been top dogs for a long time and won the state championship last year and are probably favored to win it in 5A again this year. So, it’s definitely a good win.
