5A baseball: Kincade rallies Layton past American Fork

By Neil K. Warner Special to The Tribune

Orem • Layton’s Parker Kincade homered in the first inning. He homered in the fifth inning. And gave up just one run over 5 2/3 innings of relief. But if Kincade thought his day couldn’t have been any better, he was wrong. Kincade finished a 4-for-4 performance with a two-run walk-off home run that gave Layton a 7-5 win over American Fork on Wednesday afternoon in the Class 5A state baseball tournament. The win earned the Lancers a date with Cottonwood, while the loss ended American Fork’s seaso...

5A baseball: Riverton claws past Layton 3-0

Orem • There was nothing revolutionary about the approach that Riverton pitcher Tanner Draper took against Layton in Tuesday night’s Class 5A state tournament baseball game. He just threw strikes and hoped for the best. Hope rewarded. Riverton got a five-hit shutout from Draper coupled with a defense that showed a lot of love with the glove to help the Silverwolves to a 3-0 win at Utah Valley University. “We knew coming in that Layton doesn’t strike out a whole lot and that they battle with two ...

New sushi restaurant banks on Layton’s future

Layton • The restaurant sits on a wide street where the whir of speeding SUVs almost never stops. To the south, a stubble of spring weeds covers a vacant lot. To the north, a brown 1970s-era building is draped with vinyl signs advertising Asian massages. But Tonys’ Grill and Sushi Bar is banking on the spot. The Layton eatery is the brainchild of chef Tony Lei and manager Tony Ho. The two Tonys — “the apostrophe after the ‘s’ isn’t a mistake,” Ho emphasizes — opened their doors in January. Du...

The St. Joseph Jayhawks saved their best for last. St. Joseph flew past the competition to win its third state championship in five years under coach Lou Eddy in Wednesday’s Class 1A state girls’ golf tournament at Rose Park Golf Course. “They had their best round of the year today,” he said. Senior Greta Schneider capped her perfect season by winning the 1A individual medal with an 88, eight strokes ahead of second-place Marissa Long from Layton Christian. Eddy said Schneider won every tourname...

Alfred Murillo used last year’s experience as a teaching point entering Wednesday’s final round of the Class 1A boys’ golf state tournament. Murillo’s Layton Christian team enjoyed a 23-shot lead entering the second round, but he didn’t want that going to his players’ heads. “There are some great teams we’re competing against, and any of them could easily come up on us,” he told his team. He didn’t have to draw back too far for an example. Layton Christian trailed by nine strokes after the fir...

Your town in brief:Watch for the ‘snow horse’

Updated May 15, 2013 02:45PM MDT

Layton Watch for the ‘snow horse’ • A landmark since pioneer times is expected to make an appearance soon — a white patch that takes the shape of a horse as the snow melts on Snow Horse Ridge, east of the Layton-Kaysville border. Legend says that if the horse is still visible by the Fourth of July, there will be plenty of water all summer. Read more about this at http://bit.ly/13lzsrm.

Wichita, Kan. • The National Baseball Congress college tournament, which has been a fixture in Wichita since 1935, is in financial danger but city leaders and the tournament’s operators are vowing to rescue it.

The tournament has made only $1,100 in the last two years, The Wichita Eagle reported. The tournament began as a semi-professional ...
