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. By the time the second inning came around, each player in the lineup for Corner Canyon had already gotten a hit in 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.

The NCAA and the nation's five biggest conferences have agreed to pay nearly $2.8 billion to settle a host of antitrust claims,a monumental decision that sets the stage for a groundbreaking revenue-sharing model that could start directing millions of dollars directly to athletes as soon as the 2025 fall semester.

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.
