I, including a number of Granite County residents, was shocked to learn that due to a plea bargain in the State v Scott Adler case, the trial set for Jan 28, 2019 was dismissed. In a nut shell Scott Adler, Commissioner Adler, changed his plea to guilty, admitting to the facts of theft, not as an "public official", which would have included the original two counts related to Official Misconduct, but as a plain- ordinary- every- day- like you and me, "person". So, for a year of

DRUMMOND – The two-time, undefeated state champion Flint Creek Titans put the final touches on their season last week when the team received their rings.

Dear Granite County, After sleepless nights and several lengthy conversations, I have decided to transfer at the end of this semester to a larger school. This will give me an opportunity to obtain some personal goals as I focus academically and athletically. Trust me when I say this wasn’t an easy decision as I considered my family, the TEAM, and myself. I want to thank the community for the support they have had for the Titans, my family, and me. I have been extremely

DRUMMOND – With five minutes remaining in the first quarter and the game tied 5-5, Granite Head Coach Dustin Keltner had his team pull the ball out and hold it. His ploy was not to slow the game, but to draw out the Drummond defense and try and out-quick the opposition. But when the Trojan defenders finally extended, a Prospector turnover became a Jonah Parke slam dunk that led to an 8-0 run before the period’s end. Drummond extended the lead from there to claim a 43-24 win o

But the Granite bench came through to give them a 19-14 advantage after one period. “(The
