The slide that took down a corner of Kennecott’s Bingham Canyon Mine just might land in the record books. Landslide experts say last month’s rock avalanche at the copper mine has all the signs of being North America’s biggest one to date, not counting ones that happened before records were kept or those tied to volcanoes. “It’s so big,” said Jeff Moore, the University of Utah geologic engineer behind the estimate, “it’s hard to sense and feel.” “We haven’t had something of this magnitude since ...

5A baseball: Bingham clobbers Taylorsville

Taylorsville • Jake Brown’s emotions after Tuesday’s rout at the hands of Bingham felt “eerily similar” to how he felt after a thumping last season. He hopes for similar results this time around. Brown’s Taylorsville baseball team suffered a 14-3 loss to the Miners in Wednesday’s quarterfinal round of the Class 5A state tournament. The Warriors fell by 11 runs to Alta in last year’s quarterfinals before battling all the way back to force a winner-take-all state championship game. “We’ve been her...

Sandy • Daniel Blanchard’s eyes widened when he saw the ball rolling aimlessly toward him on the right side of the box. Then the freshman forward did something a seasoned veteran would do in a golden-goal overtime playoff scenario. He buried it. Blanchard, who was making his first career varsity start for his Bingham Miners, scored the game-winner Tuesday afternoon in a come-from-behind Class 5A first-round road victory over Alta 3-2. “It feels good, but it’s hard to describe,” the freshman said...

5A girls’ golf: Bingham claws past Davis to defend crown

One stroke. That’s what Bingham High School girls’ golf coach Liz Conry couldn’t stop repeating. One stroke. By one stroke her Miners won their fourth straight Class 5A state crown Monday afternoon at Glen Eagle Golf Course in Syracuse. They edged a deeply talented Davis Darts team, 318 to 317. “That was pretty intense,” Conry said. “I thought we had lost by one or two strokes until I saw the numbers go up.” Conry, in her sixth year leading the powerhouse program, is superstitious. She doesn’t l...

Draper • After five consecutive state championships, Bear River softball coach Calvin Bingham doesn’t need to say anything to motivate his team. The Bears have things covered just fine. Bear River began its quest for a sixth straight title with a 3-0 victory over Pine View in the Class 3A state softball tournament Saturday at Juan Diego. Jordan Theurer scattered six hits and struck out 11 in the shutout. “Actually, there’s more pressure on you because you feel like you have to uphold that title...
