The Utah High School Activities Association will wrap its official season this week with softball and boys soccer titles on Thursday, and the state 5-A and 4-A baseball championships on Friday.

WASHINGTON TERRACE — For the Bonneville High Lakers, finding a coach that loves football and loves the profession of teaching kids was no ordinary task.

SALEM, Ore. — Two brothers allege that people standing near Portland Trail Blazers point guard Damian Lillard assaulted them after one of the victims took a photo of the NBA Rookie of the Year.

The brothers tell Portland television station KGW (http://bit.ly/10IK7uN ) that the suspects were Lillard’s “entourage,” but police say they haven’t determined whether they are associated with the player.

NEW YORK — Taylor Sewitt was the talk of college baseball a year ago, a rubber-armed right-hander who threw one shutout inning after another.

His deceptive submarine-style delivery helped Sewitt rack up 22 scoreless innings for Manhattan College in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference last May, winning three games in as many days and tossing an eye-popping 296 pitches.

And, that included 11 shutout innings of relief in the title game against Canisius.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — It hasn’t taken long for Alex Smith to become the leader of the Kansas City Chiefs.

The weight of the franchise was foisted upon his shoulders from the very second word leaked out that former No. 1 draft pick would be sent from the San Francisco 49ers to the Chiefs during a topsy-turvy offseason.

If he wasn’t considered the leader in the huddle then, he certainly is now, as the Chiefs toil away in summer-like heat during the first full week of voluntary practices.

A quick survey of his teammates will confirm it.

SALT LAKE CITY — There were no Utah or Rocky Mountain Regional winners, but the state put on an impressive show for the second time in four years as the 2013 National Golden Gloves Championships wrapped up Saturday night at the Salt Palace Convention Center.
