As a lifelong sportsman and gun owner, I’m committed to protecting law-abiding Americans’ right to keep and bear arms.

The T-Birds hung around for a half, but Chinook scored...

The Generals got on the board first with a l...

Box Elder has dominated the District 9C in boys basketball over the past few seasons and this year the Bears are once again at the top of the heap. However, earlier in the season, C/J-I got the better of the Bears in Chester and last Friday, the two teams met in a rematch t...
