It was one year ago Sunday that St. George resident Mark Jorgensen arrived at Intermountain Medical Center in Murray and became the first Utahn with a confirmed COVID-19 case to be treated in the state.

The Utes held on to the bitter end and upset USC 71-61, snapping a four-game losing skid and earning the most impressive win of the season just over a week before the Pac-12 tournament.
The senior trio combined to shoot 4-of-5 to open the second half, and Trevin Knell had a team-high 15 points and four rebounds to help BYU pull away from West Coast Conference rival Saint Mary s 65-51 in the regular-season finale Saturday night in the Marriott Center.
OGDEN Just one week into a one-of-a-kind spring football season, Weber State is already making history.
The Wildcats jumped up to No. 2 in the latest STATS FCS Top 25 Monday, two days after a 49-21 rout of Idaho State in the Big Sky season opener, the highest mark in program history.
Weber State, which received four first-place votes, trailed only James Madison (2-0) after a weekend filled with upsets in the top 25. Among the eight teams that lost last week were No. 1 North Dakota State (2-1), which saw its 39-game win streak snapped by Southern Illinois in the worst loss since the Bison joined Division I in 2004, and South Dakota State (1-1), which fell to now-No. 4 North Dakota (2-0).
Weber State football opens season with win at Idaho State - 02/27/21
SALT LAKE CITY Four hundred thirty four. That s the number of days between Saturday and when Weber State last played a football game. But with how the Wildcats played, you would never know.
Freshman quarterback Bronson Barron threw for 312 yards and four touchdowns in the Wildcats largest margin of victory in the Jay Hill era of football. The Wildcats racked up 638 yards of total offense as they beat the Idaho State Bengals 49-21. That was big, Hill said after the victory. Just to get back out and play against someone else other than ourselves, be playing for something again was huge. Man, super happy with the players, the way they responded. We knew we were gonna hit some adversity along the way; it s good to come up here and get a win.
