The 2025 Masters at Augusta National was nothing short of legendary, Rory McIlroy finally got his dream win. After chasing the green jacket for 17 years, McIlroy triumphed in a sudden death playoff against Justin Rose.
​      The tournament brought all the drama you'd expect at Augusta, starting on April 10 and wrapping up on April 13. McIlroy entered the last round leading at 12-under par but faced competition from Rose, Patrick Reed, and others. Things got dicey when Rory hit a rough patch on the back nine, including a double bogey on the 13th hole. But he came back strong with birdies on the 15th and 17th.
     Rose wasn’t making it easy, though his final round of 66 tied McIlroy at 11-under, forcing a playoff, the first at Augusta since 2017. On the 18th hole, Rory pulled off a stunning wedge shot that landed just three feet from the pin. He sank the birdie, clinching the win while Rose’s putt missed.
     McIlroy’s victory etched his name into golf history, making him one of the few players to achieve a career Grand Slam, alongside icons like Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods. Jack Nicklaus himself praised McIlroy, saying, “I’m delighted for Rory. I know that he’s had a lot of pressure on him. He’s had the world on his shoulders. It was wonderful to see him win. When he had to make a shot, he made it”. Brandel Chamblee also reflected on the final day, calling it “the wildest day that I’ve ever seen in the history of major championship golf. We may never see another day like this in the history of the game”. Sophomore Kaden Perry put it, “ This was one of the Masters that it feels like everyone heard about and I think that shows how good it was.
     The leaderboard showcased McIlroy in first at -11, with Rose also at -11 after the playoff, and Patrick Reed following at -9. Scottie Scheffler and Bryson DeChambeau rounded out the top five. With this win, McIlroy claimed his fifth major title and the $4.2 million prize from a whopping $21 million lot. 

Mountain biking season released

By Tony Keller

As the seasons change, so do the mountain bikers on the Corner Canyon mountain biking team. With the latest race schedule announced by NICA and our head coach, we now know where we’ll be competing: 8/23 in Herriman, 9/6 at Beaver Mountain Resort, 9/20 in Panguitch, and 10/4 in Gunnison. For those unfamiliar with Corner Canyon mountain biking, these are all brand-new tracks. I’ve been on the team since middle school, and I’ve never raced on any of these courses before.
Many riders have already been putting in serious miles, both indoors and outdoors. Take Sam Christensen, a friend of mine and fellow team member—he’s grinding through the indoor biking class at the rec center. He says it's a pain, but worth it in the long run. Personally, I don’t find indoor training all that helpful—riding outside is a much better option.
That brings up a common dilemma: most riders prefer biking outdoors, but Draper’s trails are still muddy and wet. So what can you do? There are a few solid alternatives. One of the best options is heading to St. George, where it's way warmer—just last week, temps hit the 60s, making for perfect riding conditions. If a road trip isn’t in the cards, a closer alternative is the Porter Rockwell Trail or just hitting the road on your bike. Sure, it’s not mountain biking, but it still helps you stay conditioned and comfortable on your bike—way better than spinning away on a random stationary bike in your basement or at the rec center.
Another huge benefit of riding outside? Real weather conditions. Indoor training gives you a perfectly controlled environment, but that’s not how races work. Last year at state, it snowed mid-race, forcing us to shorten the laps. When you're racing, you have to be ready for anything—wind, rain, snow, or brutal heat.
The bottom line? The bikers serious about this season are already putting in the work. With new courses and unpredictable conditions ahead, this season is shaping up to be an exciting one.

With the boys basketball team

Currently with Boys Basketball
By Zion finau 
Our boys basketball team currently has an overall record of 12-7 and they are 4-2 in their region play. They were able to get a huge home game win against Copper hills last friday with a score of 76-50. Junior Tyler Mortenson was the guy for us that night, going 8 for 12 and scoring a career high 23 points. Senior Bryton Valdez was our second leading scorer with 15 points, going 7 for 11. 
In their game on Tuesday against Mountain ridge they got another big win by 10 with a final score of 78-68. Star senior Noah Bendinger led us with 18 points and a career high 7 rebounds. Dillon Roberts who's a Junior also had a good game scoring 14 points. Both those players also had 3 steals each which was a huge contributor to the big win. 
We only have 3 more games left in the regular season before the state tournament. Two of those games are against teams that we have previously lost to, so our team is definitely looking for some revenge. Our most recent upcoming game will be against Herriman and it is senior night. 
In our last game against Herriman the final score was 71-49. Herrimans star guard Carlo Mulford had 36 points against us. Going into this game star guard Bryton Valdez says “we are definitely going to aim at playing better defense and getting a lot of rebounds.”. If we are able to do that we will be able to compete with this talented herriman squad. Our big man Mo Brown  also stated “Our student section hasn't been the best but if they show up it could really help us get this big win”. This has definitely been an issue for us all season and our students need to show up more. 
      Star guard Noah Bendinger also said that he expects himself to have some really good games to help his team win these last few games. Kids around the school are even calling this game “the game of the year”. So best of luck to our boys and make sure that everyone attends our state tournament games coming up!
