Orem • It wasn’t much use calling in the Maple Mountain baseball team. The Golden Eagles’ season just had ended in a bitterly disappointing 14-10 loss Friday. As their coaches yelled across the field for them to come accept the Class 4A state runner-up trophy, they didn’t move from their huddle in shallow left field. They just were savoring a few more moments together, as a team, even if it was a moment of defeat. “It’s kind of hard to know I might not see these guys again,” senior K.J. Hall sai...

Converse County, Wyo. • Wind farms in this corner of Wyoming have killed more than four dozen golden eagles since 2009, one of the deadliest places in the country of its kind. But so far, the companies operating industrial-sized turbines here and elsewhere that are killing eagles and other protected birds have yet to be fined or prosecuted - even though every death is a criminal violation. The Obama administration has charged oil companies for drowning birds in their waste pits, and power compa...

McNabb announced these plans on ESPN Radio 97.7 FM in Syracuse and later on his NBC Sports Radio show. ...

Sandy • Spider-Man showed up at Rio Tinto Stadium on Saturday morning for the Class 2A boys’ soccer state championship match. He stood between the posts on the south side of the stadium staring down Manti goal-scorer Carlo Garcia. Garcia took his first few steps and put the ball to the left of Spider-Man. But the man in the Spider-Man jersey read the move. He dived and stuffed the penalty-kick attempt one minute before halftime. American Leadership Academy sophomore keeper Anson Gwilliam was Spi...
