Buzzer starts on 108-hour basketball game

CLEARFIELD -- It was still early Monday, just two hours into what's expected to be a game of at least 108 hours, and players moved across the court easily, smiling as they made baskets, bringing the score to a lopsided 104-36.

The goal of the event is twofold: Break a world record with 108 hours of continuous basketball playing and raise money for a good cause.

Perfect 36: South Ogden teen aces ACT test

SOUTH OGDEN -- Last spring Kasper Kubica felt confident he had done well on the ACT, a college-entrance exam required by most colleges for acceptance. He was hoping for a 34 or 35. That's why he was elated when he recently found out his score -- a perfect 36.

Now Kubica can almost hear the doors opening to attend some of his dream schools -- an Ivy League school or MIT. The nice thing for Kubica is that he still has two years to think about it; he has just started his junior year of high school.
