Mia Thompson scores twice in Pleasant Grove's 4-1 win over Timpanogos.

New Pleasant Grove move-in, sophomore forward Mia Thompson, made a significant impact in her debut on the field, leading her team to a commanding 4-1 victory over Timpanogos on Tuesday. Thompson scored two goals and assisted another, showcasing her skill and agility, which many believe could help propel Pleasant Grove to a strong season in the 5A classification of high school soccer.

The win against Timpanogos has boosted the players’ confidence, and they will need to maintain this momentum as they prepare for their next matches. Competing in a tough league, the team faces several formidable opponents in the coming weeks.

Looking ahead, Pleasant Grove is scheduled to play against Mountain View next week, a match that will be crucial for establishing their standing in the region. As the season progresses, all eyes will be on Thompson to see if she can continue her impressive form and help her team achieve its goals. With the right support and teamwork, Pleasant Grove aims to return to the top ranks of high school soccer in Utah, making this season one to watch.
