Controversy At University Of Utah Over Kirk Anniversary
(Salt Lake City, UT) — There’s another Charlie Kirk controversy, but this time it’s at the University of Utah. Members of the College Republicans were mad when a student made a cake that said “Happy Kirkiversary.” That’s a reference to the first anniversary of Charlie Kirk’s murder at Utah Valley University. A photo of that student with the cake was posted by a member of the College Republicans and it was viewed millions of times. That led to the student and her family being doxxed and threatened. In turn, that led to complaints against the College Republicans. Now, university officials have decided that none of the students in question will face disciplinary actions.

High school football: Skyridge bests Lehi in cross-town rivalry matchup
The score might not seem like it, but Skyridge’s defense did considerably more than enough to win its rivalry game with Lehi Thursday night on the road. The Pioneers kept the game close thanks to both a pick-six and a kickoff return for a touchdown, but the Falcons’ defense made sure that it didn’t break them, as Skyridge took the 28-20 road win. “The game is what it is because of the defense,” said Skyridge coach Justin Hemm. “We have two non-offensive touchdowns by Lehi, and defense did a tremendous job all night long of forcing them into third (down) and longs.” The first half was a gritty one by Lehi. Each time Skyridge found the end zone, Lehi answered back in an unconventional way. After Skyridge’s Jagger Fountaine scored the opening touchdown on a quarterback keeper, Lehi’s Paul Unga later picked him off and returned it 30 yards for a touchdown. Then after a 54-yard bomb from Fountaine to Omarian Sanders for a touchdown in the second quarter, Lehi’s Cam Wren returned the ensuing kickoff for 85 yards and a touchdown. Even when Skyridge marched down to the five-yard line at the tail end of the first half, Lehi’s
