Reading Time: 3 minutes In late April I was able to attend a Utah Jazz game as they hosted the Phoenix Suns in a game that would secure their eighth place seed in the NBA Playoffs. It wasn’t a typical game for me however. Rather then the usual nosebleeds that I deal with, I had a media pass. I […]

Reading Time: 3 minutes The Utah Valley Wolverines are streaking! In a good way, at least.

Reading Time: 2 minutes The Utah Valley University baseball team completed it’s second three-game series sweep against Southern Utah University this year on Saturday afternoon.
