The football team took second place in state in the 2010-2011 school year, against Highland High School. They lost by one point in second over-time, 37-36. It was a devastating blow to Alex Kuresa and all of the other seniors, as it was their last game.


* [[Stuart Edge]], actor and [[YouTube]] personality
The wrestling team won the 4A state championship 3 years in a row. (2006, 2007, 2008) They were 4A runner ups in 2009 losing to Payson high school by only 1.5 points.

== References ==
So as the aforementioned information indicates, Mountain Crest sucks, and will never be better than Box Elder or any other nearby high school. Even though sports teams trade wins, as a whole, Box Elder does indeed beat out the loser school full of Wellsville accents.
