Bountiful • It’s fitting that the final out fell into Kenzie Rasmussen’s glove. The center fielder was instrumental in every key play for Mountain Crest, so it made sense that she would end Bountiful’s threat in the bottom of the seventh inning by sprinting to catch the shallow pop fly. The Mustangs outlasted the Braves 6-5 in the second round of the Class 4A state softball tournament Thursday. It was on the strength of Rasmussen’s bat, glove and arm that the Mustangs advanced to the next round....

When Bountiful coach Marty Wescott compares his current boys’ lacrosse team to his squads from the past, he knows that it’s tough to top some of those former Braves squads.

Medrano pitched another complete game, this time shutting out the Pirates and allowing only two hits in a 1-0 victory. The win keeps hopes alive for Bountiful to play ...
