The number nine sports story from the previous year for Mid-Prairie athletics takes us to the football field where one of the most versatile athletes in Golden Hawk history wrapped up his career last fall. Mid-Prairie senior Justin Schwartz came into the season already one of the best receivers in Mid-Prairie history, ranking in the top 10 in program history in catches and yards. His role in 2018 however, would focus on him coming out of the backfield. He excelled there as well. Schwartz finished 2018 with 1,015 yards and 12 touchdowns on the ground. The defining moment of the season for Schwartz however, came on a rainy night in Bloomfield against Davis County when he hauled in a Brad Tornow pass, the 72nd of his career to set the school record, breaking the mark of 71 set by Darian Patterson in 2005. Schwartz ended with 75 total catches and 811 yards through the air. His yards total is sixth in school history. In all, along with Schwartz, seven other Mid-Prairie players were named to the all-district team after the Hawks finished a 3-6 season.
