The West Jordan High baseball team is back in March a year after finishing 16-11 and earning the No. 8 seed for the state tournament. 

The Jaguars finished third in region, going 9-6 behind eventual state champs Riverton and region champs Bingham. 

As the eight-seed, West Jordan lost two tight games in the super regional to Farmington to end the season. 

Some talented seniors were lost to graduation such as big hitters Mason Alcaraz and DeAngelo Pavone along with major throwers in Weston Robins, Logan Jensen and Kameron Bartholomew. But the squad returns talent in the form of Austin Burr, Ethan Baldwin and Brayden Olson. 

The season leads off March 6 for the home opener against Springville with region play starting April 11 at Bingham. 

It will be West Jordan’s last season in the region for at least the next two years as West Jordan transitions to 5A with the northwest part of the valley region that will include Murray, Cyprus, Hunter, Granger, Taylorsville and Kearns.
