OGDEN — Another successful season is in the books for the six-time national champion Weber State Men’s soccer club, which logged a 23-2 overall record in 2012 and had a shot at its seventh national title earlier this month at the National Intramural and Recreational Sports Association Championship Series in Memphis, Tenn.

OGDEN — When Paul Putnam’s son Matt graduated from high school six years ago, he didn’t want his football career to end. Paul knew his son had talent and decent grades, so he figured finding a scholarship for Matt would be easy.

What he ran into were dozens of NCAA prerequisites, requirements, and a process that Paul discovered he should have started years earlier.

OGDEN – A pair of third-period goals from Weber State’s Josh Giudice and Jeremiah Holmes sent Friday’s game with the fifth-ranked San Jose State Spartans into overtime and an eventual 4-3 shootout win for the Wildcats.

As shootouts are primarily for show in the American Collegiate Hockey Association the game officially ended as a tie, but try telling that to the roaring Wildcat faithful at The Ice Sheet after watching their squad come from behind against one of the best teams in the region.

OGDEN — Local golf professionals and course managers credit favorable weather and economic improvement as major reasons why more golfers are hitting the links in Northern Utah.

OGDEN — A perfect shootout performance from Ogden goalie Tyler Fallica, helped the Mustangs toa 3-2 shootout win over the Seattle Totems in a Western States Hockey League Northwest Division battle at The Ice Sheet on Friday night.

Fresh off his WSHL 2nd Star of the Week designation, Ogden goalie Tyler Fallica logged 30 saves and was flawless in the shootout stopping all four Seattle attempts picking up his fourth win of the season in the process.

SANDY — Jordan’s offensive line was too much for Northridge as the Beetdiggers racked up 360 rushing yards en route to a 49-13 thumping of the Knights at Sayers Field on Friday.

The loss — Northridge’s third of the season — ends a storybook season that coach Erik Thompson said few predicted.

OGDEN — Major League All-Star Billy Ray Butler picked up a baseball bat as a 6-year-old in Jacksonville, Fla., and every single day for 12 years his father J.D., took him out and threw balls so Billy could practice his swing.

“We hit every day of the year until I was 18,” Butler said with his dad smiling and nodding his head behind him on Friday night in Ogden. “Never took a day off; didn’t matter if it was a holiday or anything. It paid off.”
