The Grand County High School Red Devils are heating up in the 2A state playoffs, notching back-to-back wins on Saturday, May 3—including a dramatic 7-4 upset over top-seeded San Juan in the second round.
The victory propels the Red Devils deeper into the championship bracket. They’ll face their next test on Thursday, May 10, at Brigham Young University.
The win came on the heels of a commanding 18-1 rout of the Monticello Buckaroos last Saturday—their highest-scoring game of the season.
Senior Breckin Shepherd led the way in that matchup, striking out six over four innings while giving up just one earned run. He also went 3-for-4 at the plate with two runs, an RBI, and a stolen base. The Red Devils have gone 5-1 this season when Shepherd scores multiple runs.
Trace York and Tatym Bisco delivered big bats against Monticello. York knocked two triples and drove in four runs, while Bisco went a flawless 3-for-3 with three runs and four RBI. Romeo Williams matched their momentum, going 3-for-3 with four runs and a stolen base.
Grand County finished the game with a .686 on-base percentage and remains undefeated this season when topping .513 in that category.
Now 13-12 for the year overall, the Red Devils have won five of their last six games. They’ll look to carry that momentum into their upcoming matchup at BYU.
