| 'Mormon' Attack on Tiger Woods' Records Fails |
| A double-barrell attack on Tiger Woods' US Amateur
Championship records came up empty Friday as both defending US Amateur
Champion and LDS Church member Jeff Quinney and 17-year-old Danile
Summerhays lost in the tournament's quarterfinals. Quinney lost by just one
hole to his former ASU teammate and fellow Oregonian Brian Nosler while
Summerhays, the youngest player in the quarterfinals, lost to Robert
Hamilton, the oldest player. |
| Will Best-in-Nation Prep QB Serve Mission? |
| LDS youth Ben Olson, considered by some the
best prep quarterback in the US, is facing the decision that every serious
LDS high school athlete must face: whether or not, and when, to serve an LDS
mission. In fact, Olson has researched the consequences, "No quarterback has
gone on a mission, come back and really done anything in college football,"
he says. "I'd be the one to change that." |
| LDS Linebacker Chosen Team Captain at Navy |
| The United States Naval Academy at Annapolis, MD is a
place that trains young men and women for a career in the service of their
country. It prepares the minds and bodies of the young midshipmen to serve a
cause greater than themselves. While the concept of service to others is
foreign to some of these trainees, others have already learned many of
life's lessons about service. In the case of Annapolis senior Jake Bowen,
football player and recently returned missionary for the Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter-day Saints, service was a way of life for two years. |
| LDS Woman Volleyball Player Finds Happiness in Eastern Washington |
| So, what's a nice Mormon girl like Robyn Sonju
doing in a place like Cheney, Washington? No, it's not that Cheney is
a bad place, it's just not exactly the kind of place where you'd
expect to find an LDS college athlete who could be playing somewhere
like Utah State. |
| Sports: Sports Interlude -- Only Baseball and Golf in Season |
| With the end of the WNBA and WUSA, only baseball and
golf are in season, as we wait for the beginning of the professional
football season and, later, hockey and basketball. But the San Francisco
Giant's Jeff Kent had an off week, most Mormon pitchers were worse than
usual, and three of the four Mormons playing in the PGA's Reno-Tahoe Open
were cut. |
