Box Elder wrestling was ranked 18th in the nation in 2011, completed an undefeated season, and broke the state record for most points scored in a state tournament (312 points).
Softball. Since women's softball began being played in Utah in 1990, Box Elder has won more games than any other team in the state.[citation needed] Coach Jim Fuller retired in 2010 as "the winningest high school softball coach in Utah, with a 423-114 career won loss record (a .788 winning percentage) and six state championships (his final was at Fremont High School)".[6] The team won its first 4A state title in 1995 against its biggest rival, Bear River, and then followed that title with state crowns in 1996, 1997, 1999 and 2001. They were nationally ranked by USA Today in 1996 and 1997.[citation needed] Since 1990 they also have four second-place state showings and three third place finishes, playing in 9 of 21 state championship softball games. BEHS softball has won 11 league titles, and has had 50 players receive either NCAA Division I or NJCAA scholarships.[6]

These schools, both located in the same school district, also overlap boundaries in the towns of Honeyville, and Bear River City, making the rivalry much more fierce among students from those towns. Competition and tensions often run to extreme levels in invitational games, meets, and matches.
