Spanish Fork Don’s softball team donates $1,000 to Juab’s senior Sam Guillory. Last summer, Juab Senior, Sam Guillory, played catcher for the SFHS Lady Dons softball team. A few days before school started last fall, Sam was in an automobile accident which has left her paralyzed from the waist down and also left her with limited use of her arms.

The Lady Dons have been selling old fashioned suckers at every home game to raise some much needed funds for Sam's medical bills. Following the last home and region game for the Lady Dons, the players presented Sam with a check for $1,000. The team also made a quilt for her with all their signatures.
 
SFHS Junior, Kelsey Christensen, who pitches for the Dons, was impressed with Sam's ability as well as her confidence both on and off the field.

"Sam was just a person who knew who she was." said Christensen.
 
SFHS Senior, Mariah Peterson, who plays first base, remembers Sam for her great attitude. She said, "Sam just fit right in from the beginning and was always so friendly. She is a member of our team."
 
Dave McKee, SFHS Principal, is very proud of his softball girls, "This is what we're about, looking out for others and doing positive things."
