Miner Magic: Bingham rallies from huge deficit to top Lone Peak in state quarterfinals

5A baseball: Bingham rallies from huge deficit to top Lone Peak By Tom Wharton Special to The Tribune First Published May 22 2017 11:27PM    •    Last Updated May 22 2017 11:40 pm Kearns • It is somehow appropriate that the hero of Bingham's improbable 14-13 come-from-behind victory over Lone Peak on Monday night in the Class 5A baseball state tournament is named Copper Hansen. After all, the school gets its name from a mine that produces copper in Bingham Canyon. Hansen's grand slam in the top of the fifth gave the Miners hope, and his bases-clearing three-run double in the top of the seventh gave Bingham its only lead. This battle between the Region 3 and 4 champions did not get off to a promising start for the Miners. Facing perhaps the state's top pitching prospect in Lone Peak's Seth Corry, the Miners struggled in the field, allowing the Knights to score seven runs on just three hits. When Eli Norman's three-run homer ...

Bingham’s Stetler builds on family’s legacy of greatness

Jon Clifford Special to The Tribune

Track and field a family passion for Hannah Stetler, whose siblings competed at Utah, BYU. South Jordan • It was at least part family obligation that led Bingham freshman Hannah Stetler to take up pole vaulting three years ago. Hannah’s sister Alyssa did the running — the 2-mile and 3,000 meters for the University of Utah — and brother Zach did the throwing — shot put, discus, hammer and javelin for BYU. “We have a track family,” Hannah said. “We had a runner and a thrower, and we needed a jumper.” She sort of completed the Stetler family track and field triple crown. Crown is an appropriate symbol, given her success for the Miners this season. Stetler, just a freshman, will be among the favorites this week at the Class 5A state track and field championships at BYU. She already set the girls state record with a jump of 11 feet, 6 inches, and she routinely clears 12 feet in practice. It’s more than genetics that has Stetler in position to dominate the sport that...

Girls’ golf: Blair continues family’s dominance, leads Bingham to 5A title

Eric Butler Special to The Tribune

Girls’ golf • Bingham sophomore wins individual title, leads team to overall crown. Kaysville • As hail began to fall Tuesday at the Davis Park Golf Course, three white balls sat on the 15th green looking like the only adults in the room — with hundreds of smaller icy balls around them. That’s until Bingham’s Tess Blair ditched her umbrella to race out to remove her ball after placing a marker to save the spot. “I didn’t want the wind to move the ball,” Blair said, It was one of many right decisions for the Miners’ sophomore, who claimed the Class 5A girls’ golf state championship by 10 strokes and lead Bingham to the team title. Blair may have started a state title run of her own. Her older sister Sirene won four individual crowns from 2009 to 2013 before playing collegiately at San Diego State. “This feels amazing. I wanted this so bad for our seniors,” Blair said. Blair shot a 68 in Monday’s first round then followed that with a 69 in the final round....

South Jordan • It’s been seven years since the Bingham softball team added a state championship trophy to the school display case, but the Miners have to be considered one of the top contenders this season with a pair of left-handed pitchers in the dugout. Coach Mikki Jackson is a proven winner. Her teams earned three consecutive Class 5A titles from 2008 to 2010, and her teams have made the tournament every year since then. The Miners were one run short of another crown in 2013. Bingham’s prospects are bright with juniors Nicole Wall and Karly Wightman available to pitch not only for this season but next year as well. A program can go many years without a lefty on the pitching staff, and to have two good ones at the same time is almost unheard of. It gives Jackson’s squad...
