• Boyer Valley girls searching for identity with new coach (kmaland.com) — Boyer Valley’s girls basketball team is off to a 4–2 start under new coach Justin Davis, with one of their early losses coming against Exira-EHK. Davis says the Bulldogs are still learning their offense, leaning on upperclassmen leadership, and aiming for the program’s first winning season since 2017–18 as they head into key late-December and early-January games.
