Dad drove our friends Cindi and Calvin Couch, my brother and I around to the neighbors: Draegers, Springers and Rismons. We happily...

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz., — Most of Tommy Mellott's work came via his legs Saturday. But when the Bobcats needed him the most, he used his arm. Mellott found Taco Dowler behind the NAU secondary in the game's final 30 seconds, then Blake Glessner nailed a 25 yard field goal as time expired to hand No 3 Montana state a 41-38 win at Northern Arizona on Saturday. It was Glessner's first career walk-off winner. That game-winner was set up by Mellott's calculated heave to Dowler. Under p...
