Orem • A group of Warriors huddled along the first-base line and started their roar. They couldn’t quite contain the emotion suddenly befallen on them as they held a navy blue jersey to the sky. The jersey had the No. 6 on the back and read “Warriors” across the chest. Then they screamed his name. “We see you, K.J.!” one Warrior yelled. “I miss you, K.J.,” said senior Jake Lindsey, tears flooding his face. On a misty May day, the Snow Canyon Warriors saw K.J. Harrison, and K.J. Harrison saw them...

Oakland, Calif. • Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili and the San Antonio Spurs are back in the Western Conference finals for the second straight season with the same style that has carried them to four NBA titles. Don’t call these guys old just yet. After wearing down the younger Golden State Warriors in a grueling six-game series, the Spurs look as spry as ever. And they already know what to expect when they open the conference finals at home against Memphis on Sunday. “It’s going to ...

Oakland, Calif. • The San Antonio Spurs held off a furious final rally to beat the Golden State Warriors 94-82 in Game 6 on Thursday night and advance to the Western Conference finals.

Tony Parker shook off a poor start to score 10 of his 13 points in the fourth quarter.

3A baseball: Snow Canyon ace baffles Canyon View

Orem • “He’ll be back out there before this thing’s over — I know that.” Snow Canyon coach Reed Secrist’s words should loom over the rest of the Class 3A baseball state tournament like an avalanche. It’s tough to get between left-handed pitcher Riley Gates and a state championship. Region 9 rival Canyon View knows that after a 5-0 defeat Thursday. The senior had a torrid start, notching 11 strikeouts and allowing only two hits while leading Snow Canyon to the winners bracket final with Desert Hi...

5A baseball: Bingham clobbers Taylorsville

By Eric Butler Special to The Tribune

Updated May 16, 2013 10:30AM MDT

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...

Prep baseball: Hoffman’s versatility an asset for Taylorsville

By Neil K. Warner Special to The Tribune

Updated May 15, 2013 04:06PM MDT

When Kyle Hoffman said he would do anything to help his team win, he wasn’t exactly sure what that would require. When Taylorsville needed him to catch, he put on the gear. When the Warriors had a hole at second base, he got out his infielder’s glove. And when the Warriors needed a shortstop, he moved over to anchor the defense. But the versatile senior leader still had something more to offer. Sensing that his team could be short on pitching, he fired up his arm. Even though he hadn’t pitched s...

San Antonio • Gregg Popovich urged his San Antonio Spurs to raise their energy to almost maniacal levels, because winning the battle on the boards and for loose balls was critical against the athletic Golden State Warriors. The Spurs responded to their coach’s message, outworking and outmuscling Golden State to take a 3-2 lead in the Western Conference semifinals. Tony Parker had 25 points and 10 assists, and the Spurs held the Warriors’ starting backcourt to 13 points for a 109-91 victory Tuesd...

Oakland, Calif. • His spirits down, his left ankle limp and his team’s season hanging in the balance, Stephen Curry wondered whether he could recover for the biggest game of his career until a text message popped up on his phone around 2 a.m. Saturday. Curry called back his mother, Sonya, and vented his frustrations about his latest — and most inopportune — injury setback. Finally, she spoke up to calm his concerns. “She just reminded me and battle-tested me to rely on my teammates and support,”...
