Rivalries
American Leadership Academy has no rivalry we can source, and the reason is structural. The school is in Spanish Fork, but it plays in 2A North against charter schools in the south end of the Salt Lake Valley — Summit Academy in Bluffdale and Providence Hall in Herriman — plus South Summit in Kamas. Its region opponents are an hour up the freeway and its geographic neighbours, Spanish Fork and Maple Mountain, are 5A and 4A schools it does not play.
Deseret's 2A North previews treat the charter schools as region competitors without rivalry framing. The most-covered rivalry candidate in the region is South Summit, a traditional school.
