Davis County High School social studies teacher Joe Rasmussen has compiled a book covering the history of sports over the last century at Bloomfield High School and Davis County High School.
Rasmussen has spent the last several years researching information about sports from both high schools. He searched through school records and old newspapers, compiling the information about each sport.
The books will be available for sale at home volleyball games this fall and during the week of Homecoming. The book sells for $12. All proceeds from the sale of the books will go to the Davis County Athletic Fund.

Construction crews are working in Bloomfield to upgrade water mains and sewer lines within the city limits. The project is part of a CDBG grant program being administered by the City of Bloomfield.
Crews are currently working on the northwest side of Bloomfield replacing water main from the Bloomfield Water Plant east on Goode Street in Bloomfield.
Water mains will also be replaced portions of North Street, Walnut Street and Dodge Street.
Once the water lines are replaced, city officials hope the installation of the new pipe will significantly reduce the occurrence of water breaks within the city limits.
Sewer line repairs are also taking place in other parts of the city. Sewer lines on Railroad Street, Chestnut Street and on Morningside Drive have already received repairs.
Work is expected to continue well into November.
