LONDON • Shakespeare, the Magna Carta — and now some of John Lennon’s finest lyrics. The British Library on Wednesday added substantially to its already formidable collection with handwritten lyrics to Beatles’ classics “Strawberry Fields Forever”, “She Said She Said” and “In My Life.” Although these three songs are legally credited to Lennon and band mate Paul McCartney, the wistful, evocative lyrics are primarily associated with Lennon. The manuscripts and a number of Lennon’s letters were don...

5A softball: Copper Hills blanks Riverton behind Davies

Taylorsville • It wasn’t necessarily surprising that Copper Hills leadoff hitter Dani Hamilton got her team off to a good start Tuesday. But it might have been a little shocking how she did it. Hamilton socked a home run over the left-field fence to give the Grizzlies a quick 1-0 lead in the bottom of the first inning Tuesday. That alone held up for Copper Hills (22-8) because sophomore pitcher Payten Davies allowed only two hits by Riverton (21-6) in a 2-0 victory in the Class 5A state playoff...

Kaysville • Copper Hills pitcher Payten Davies had been nervous as she stepped into the circle for her first playoff start two days earlier. But the sophomore looked like a seasoned vet when her coached called upon her again Thursday. Davies pitched a complete game, giving up a single run to help Copper Hills roll over Davis 5-1 in the second round of the Class 5A state softball tournament. Grizzlies coach Jentry Johnson said she “went with my gut” in giving Davies the nod for a second consecuti...

West Jordan • Copper Hills senior catcher Ashley Clayson had a prime vantage point as teammate Payten Davies pitched the Grizzlies to a 3-0 victory in the opening round of the Class 5A state softball playoffs. Oh, she had more than a little to do with all three runs as well. All in all, it was a good day for Clayson and Copper Hills on Tuesday as the Grizzlies held back Lehi to advance in the winners bracket. “It feels good,” Clayson said. “We came out swinging the bats the way we were supposed ...

BYU's Davies invited to NBA Combine, while Harward (back injury) calls it quits

A flurry of BYU basketball news broke on Thursday afternoon, some of it good, and some of it bad. First, the good news: Former BYU center Brandon Davies has been invited to participate in next week's NBA Draft Combine in Chicago. While not exactly a surprise, given how he performed at the Portsmouth Invitational Tournament last month, earning MVP honors, Davies was not a sure thing to make the list. So that's great news for the Provo High graduate, projected by some to be a late second-round pi...
