There are time when athletes create enough buzz. They don’t need hype, they are their own circus. But there are times when athletes need help making the headlines. Here are some examples of rumors, that aren’t true, but would deserve […]

Back-to-Back Top Ten Teams… Scary
Playing one top ten team at their home gym is bad playing two is even worse and the Beaver women head to the Bay Area to do just that. After splitting with the Arizona schools last weekend at Gill, Oregon […]

As the Beaver football team emerged from the locker room after the Emerald Bowl, I stood with fellow KBVR sports member Eric Bartz across the hall. The 21-14 win was the icing on the cake for another Beaver football season. […]
