Team culture powers three-peat for Bear River girls lacrosse | Sports

GARLAND – Championships are quite often rare for teams to pull off, with years and sometimes decades spanning occasions on which their players can lift the coveted trophy. Bear River is making titles commonplace with its girls lacrosse team. For three straight years, the Bears have concluded their season by raising the 4A state title trophy and bringing it home to Garland. Facilitating the back-to-back-to-back championship runs has been a 56-1 overall record, included inside that are undefeated marks against 4A (43-0) and Region 11 (30-0) teams. Bear River Girls Lacrosse team records since 2022 Season Record Goals For Goals Against 2022 19-0 322 67 2023 17-1 324 57 2024 20-0 347 78 TOTAL 56-1 993 202 All of this success over three years has come despite losing significant portions of their roster each season. Following the first championship season, the Bears lost half a dozen players. After securing a repeat title, nine were lost to graduation. These losses represented many of the top scorers and goalkeepers on those title-winning squads. But it seems even in “rebuilding” years, Bear River still finds a way. “I had a done an interview earlier in the season when they were saying we were

Darius Brown goes through pre-draft works out with two NBA teams | Sports

Former Utah State men’s basketball point guard Darius Brown went through pre-draft workouts with two NBA teams his agent said on social media. The Cleveland Cavaliers and Washington Wizards are the two teams that have shown interest in Brown. Despite playing only one season with the Aggies prior to his graduation, Brown became a program legend. He set the single-season assists record with 228 and hit multiple clutch 3-pointers to lead USU to key wins in its path to becoming the Mountain West regular season champions. He earned All-Mountain West First Team and All-Defense honors as one of the top points guards in the stacked conference. Brown worked out for the Cavaliers earlier this week on Tuesday, then did the same with the Wizards on Wednesday. Both teams have connections to former Aggies with Sam Merrill playing for Cleveland and Taylor Funk being on the roster of Washington’s G-League affiliate, the Capital City Go-Go. Although he’s worked out for multiple teams, Brown’s prospects of being drafted by an NBA team on June 26 appear quite low. He doesn’t appear on any mock draft or big board rankings from any major outlets. But with these workouts it becomes more likely Brown

EUGENE, Oregon — Utah State track & field sophomore Logan Hammer finished 16th in the men’s pole vault with a clearance of 5.22 meters (17-1.5) to earn second-team All-American honors at the NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships at Hayward Field on Wednesday evening.    “He’s not happy and not satisfied with the result he had today, but I hope as the days pass he’ll be able to recognize what a special season he’s had,” said Artie Gulden, USU’s director of track & field and cross country said. “He jumped over a foot higher than he did last year, made it to the NCAAs, second-team All-American and our first All-American in track & field since 2019.”   With his performance, Hammer is the first Aggie All-American since Sindri Gudmundsson earned first-team honors in the men’s javelin in 2019.   Hammer passed on 5.07 meters (16-7.5) and cleared 5.22 meters (17-1.5) on his first attempt to earn 16th. He had the height to clear 5.37 meters (17-7.25) twice but hit the bar on his way down.   “He came down on the bar and that’s one of the incredibly technical aspects of the pole vault,” Gulden said. “You have to have everything
