Southern Utah Rivals

The Kanab Cowboys and Parowan Rams have been playing against each other since the beginning of time, it seems.  There is something that is very unique about this so called "rivalry", and it is definitely worth noting. 

It has been nearly 70 years since the Rams have outscored the Cowboys in a gridiron grind-out.  Yes, nearly 70 years since the Rams have beaten the Cowboys.  But, there is something stirring in the water this football season that just might become an even more interesting situation.  The new Parowan Football Head Coach, Carter Miller, played college football with Kanab Football Head Coach, Bucky Orton. 

Bucky reportedly texted Carter upon hearing about his new job in Parowan with an explicit version of, "Oh, shoot!"  With the implication that the near 70 year streak Kanab has over the Rams may be in jeopardy, especially when it is taken into account that some of the best talent around was part of that Miller-package for the Rams.

Things will always remain exciting when these two teams come head-to-head, and that will never change.  October 13, 2017 is the day when the fate of Kanab's streak will be decided. Either way, the winner will have a lot to smile about for the year to come.

Hey Now, You're an All-Star?

This is how I feel when I clear an evening to watch the NBA All-Star Game. There are a few things that are fundamentally wrong with this game and the advertisement that is surrounding it.   There is something even more wrong with the people who pay so much to go and worship a group of athletes who half-try in a competition against the “best in the world”.   But, if you were one of the players in this game, and there was next to nothing to gain for winning, and everything to lose if you get hurt, who could blame you for not playing hard and putting on a good display of effort and skill.   And how many players have fallen off the...

Opportunity

High school can be some of the best, and some of the worst times in a person’s life.   Sometimes it is both!   But one thing that ought to come to everybody’s mind when they hear about high school is opportunity .   All too often there are people who miss this, who overlook it, who take it for granted and who mistake it for a burden.   Not often enough, however, is this great stage of opportunity capitalized upon, and turned into a spring-board to catapult one into something bigger and better than themselves.   That is exactly what Southern Utah University Volleyball player, Rylee Rogers, has done for herself. When asked what motivated her to go from being a high school athlete to a college athlete, she claimed that it was the motivation and inspiration given by her mother.   “She always taught me to be a team player.   She taught me to make sure that the team looks good before you make yourself look good.   I feel like that might be lost t...
