High school softball: Bingham rides fast start, stellar pitching to 1-0 6A state title series lead
Thursday night at BYU, Bingham did as well as any team has done this season against Riverton’s potent offense, defeating the Silverwolves 3-1 in the first game of the best of three 6A softball championship series. The Silverwolves had been held to one run on just two different occasions this season before Thursday. “Both teams are great teams and both teams played really well,” longtime Bingham head coach Mikki Jackson said. “That’s two very evenly matched teams and so what can you have …other than relief and excitement (to win).” The Region 2 schools both cruised to the title series, setting up another showdown between programs very familiar with each other. Riverton and Bingham had met twice this season prior to Thursday’s matchup, with the Silverwolves topping the Miners on both occasions en route to the region championship.
High school baseball: Big 1st inning punches Corner Canyon’s ticket to 6A championship series
A big 7-run first inning helped propel Corner Canyon past Mountain Ridge 10-8 Thursday to secure a date with Lehi in the best-of-three 6A championship series. Corner Canyon batted around in the opening inning and took advantage of sloppy defense by Mountain Ridge, which had four errors to start the game.

Corner Canyon was led at the top of the lineup by Garrett Downing and Ryder Florence. Downing went 1 for 3 with a run scored and two RBIs, while Florence went 2 for 5, also scoring a run and adding two RBIs.

High school boys lacrosse: Corner Canyon keeps its claim to the 6A throne with double overtime win over Davis
It’s no secret that Corner Canyon has dominated boys lacrosse ever since it became a Utah High School Activities Association sanctioned sport. The Chargers have never lost a state championship and they’ve only lost five total games in program history. The three-time reigning champs looked like they were going to be dethroned when Davis made a late comeback and pushed Friday’s 6A championship to double overtime, but Corner Canyon yet again claimed the 6A crown for the fourth time in a row in a 12-11 win over the Darts. “We’ve been to this stage before but that was definitely the one that greyed my hair the most,” said Corner Canyon head coach Aaron Ika. “We’re a very inexperienced team. We had one senior in the starting six on offense. Their youth and inexperience showed a little bit today, but they battled all year and that’s what they’re about.
