Morgans Kenadee Benson cheers with her teammates as she holds the team championship trophy after the final round of the 3A girls golf state championship held at the Stansbury Park Golf Course on Thursday, May 7, 2026. Benson won the individual championship in addition to Morgans first-place team victory. | Isaac Hale, Deseret News Whether it was the poise of being the only senior in contention, or trailing by enough strokes to think she was probably a long shot, Morgans Kenadee Benson put together a near-perfect round of golf during the final day of the 3A state tournament on Thursday.While most golfers were posting higher scores on the second day of competition, Benson shot a season-low 74 to surge into a first-place tie, and then she rolled in an 8-footer for birdie on the first playoff hole to win 3A medalist.She was immediately mobbed by teammates on the No. 9 green to celebrate her unlikely title. I was kind of in shock, said Benson about the surreal moment. I putted good today, but it was definitely more on the front nine that my putting was the best, not necessarily the back nine. But I made those putts a million times, so I knew I could do it if I put the right stroke on it.Benson shot a 79 on Wednesdays opening round and sat in seventh place, five shots behind the leader. She trailed three of her own Morgan teammates, too.In many ways, that helped her relax on a day when a lot of golfers were struggling to do so.I was just trying to stay positive. I was just trying to play well so that my team could win, and, you know, whatever happened individually would happen, said Benson, whose team indeed won that team title as well.So when Benson walked off the No. 18 green and learned she was in a first-place tie with three groups still to finish, she was in a bit of shock. To stay relaxed, she passed the time on the putting green in case a playoff was necessary.When Richfield freshman Hailey Hair left a birdie putt above the hole on No. 18, it meant both golfers finished the tournament with 9-over 153s, necessitating a tiebreaker on the No. 9 hole.

Benson won the individual championship in addition to Morgans first-place team victory. | Isaac Hale, Deseret News Morgans Kenadee Benson watches her drive after teeing off during the final round of the 3A girls golf state championship held at the Stansbury Park Golf Course on Thursday, May 7, 2026. | Isaac Hale, Deseret News Benson won the coin flip and hit first, choosing her safest club her hybrid and driving it short left of the green on the short Par 4. Hair went with driver, pushing her ball right of the green-side bunker. They both chipped to almost an identical spot eight feet behind the hole.Hair, however, was slightly away and had to put first, missing the putt inches left and tapping in for par. She gave Benson the perfect read, and Benson then stepped up and drilled her winning put straight into the center of the cup.It helped me with speed and it helped me kind of see where it would break, admitted Benson.In many ways, Morgan coach Dennis Peterson said it was fitting to see Benson win after the leadership role she played on a team with underclassmen.Shes been our team captain and the leader of this team all year, and she does such a great job and her demeanor on the golf course is just exceptional all year, Peterson said. Shes actually really hard to read just because of her levelness. Even ups and downs and stuff, you really dont know until shes done where she was. Absolutely special girl.Bensons poise was the catalyst to Morgan winning its second team title in school history as well, with the Trojans shooting a 629 team score. Richfield finished runner-up with a 643, followed by Union in third with a 683.In many ways, Morgan won the championship with its brilliant opening round 305. That gave it enough cushion to still win despite behind collectively 19 shots worse in the second round.It was a lot different day today than yesterday for us, but they grinded it out, and its been my top four girls pretty consistent all this year. Once in a while Ill get one to break in, but they were all solid, said Peterson.Morgan sophomore Sophie DeMond and freshman Taya Snow tied four shots back of the leaders, giving Morgan three golfers in the top four.Grantsvilles Lindsey Wangsgard finished fifth, followed by Juabs Peyton Lynn in sixth and Morgan junior Ruby Wilding in seventh giving Morgan four golfers in the top seven.That will always be a recipe for success in a state tournament.I am so blessed as a coach to have this group of girls, said Peterson.Class 3A state tournamentAt Stansbury Park Golf CourseFull leaderboardFinal Team scoresMorgan, 629Richfield, 643Union, 683Juab, 685Ogden, 716Grantsville, 719Delta, 768North Sanpete, 775Final individual results (Top 25)153 Kenadee Benson, Morgan, Sr. (won in playoff)153 Hailey Hair, Richfield, Fr.157 Sophie DeMond, Morgan, So.157 Taya Snow, Morgan, Fr.159 Lindsey Wangsgard, Grantsville, So.161 Peyton Lynn, Juab, Fr.163 Ruby Wilding, Morgan, Jr.164 Zaela Kendall, Juab, Fr.164 Sadie Roberts, Richfield, Jr.168 Adrie Seely, Richfield, Sr.170 Mya Malcom, Richfield, Sr.170 Macie Bell, Morgan, Jr.170 Brielle Ross, Union, Fr.170 Mailee Albrecht, Richfield, Jr.171 Jaci Tidwell, Richfield, Jr.172 Bentley Hintze, Delta, Sr.172 Avery Rasmussen, Union, Jr.173 Jaycee Kissling, Union, So.175 Charlotte Phipps, Ogden, Jr.176 Elena Harm, Morgan, Jr.176 Gracie Bromley, Union, Sr.176 Braidee Lamb, Union, Jr.178 Whitney Fife, Ogden, Fr.178 Brandee Larcival, Emery, Jr.179 Alli Whicker, Juab, Sr.179 Shelby McBride, Grantsville, Jr.

Now that the NFL Draft is behind us, the bulk of the 2026 NFL offseason is in the books and it was really one to remember. There were 10 new head coaches hired, the most since 2022. The Arizona Cardinals decided they no longer wanted Kyler Murray, but the Minnesota Vikings deemed him good enough to sign him and allow him to compete with J.J. McCarthy for the starting quarterback job. The Las Vegas Raiders, meanwhile, will seemingly start veteran Kirk Cousins after taking Fernando Mendoza with the first overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. The Los Angeles Rams might have had the biggest swings this offseason. They traded for All-Pro cornerback Trent McDuffie in a deal with the Kansas City Chiefs, giving up a first-round draft pick in that deal before using another first-round pick to surprisingly take quarterback Ty Simpson. But the biggest news this offseason surrounded a blockbuster trade that didn't happen. The Baltimore Ravens landed star edge rusher Maxx Crosby for a few days before pulling out of the deal due to his medicals. As Crosby remains with the Raiders, the Ravens opted to sign star edge rusher Trey Hendrickson instead. So, now that the dust has largely settled this offseason, let's take a look at the five teams that have improved the most this spring as we inch closer to the start of training camp in July. Notable additions: Robert Saleh (hired as head coach), Brian Daboll (hired as offensive coordinator), wide receiver Carnell Tate (selected with fourth overall pick in 2026 NFL Draft), edge rusher Keldric Faulk (31st overall pick), wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson (signed a four-year, $78 million contract), defensive lineman John Franklin-Myers (signed a three-year, $63 million deal) Lets start with coaching changes. The Tennessee Titans hired a defensive-minded head coach with a strong, charismatic personality in Robert Saleh, who brought in an experienced staff led by former New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll as the teams offensive coordinator and former Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Gus Bradley as the teams defensive coordinator. Along with an experienced coaching staff, Salehs focus has been surrounding last years No. 1 overall draft pick Cam Ward with upgrades at receiver in first-round pick Carnell Tate and free agent signee WanDale Robinson.However, the offensive line remains a question mark. The Titans took late-round flyers on two interior offensive linemen in Fernando Carmona and Pat Coogan. How Daboll changes things schematically, along with how offensive line coach Carmen Bricillo brings that group together, will go a long way to Wards improvement. Saleh will make the defense better, an experienced coaching staff will limit mistakes and help Tennessee double its win total from three games in 2025. Notable additions: Linebacker Sonny Styles (selected with the seventh overall pick in 2026 NFL Draft), edge rusher Odafe Oweh (signed a four-year, $100 million deal), linebacker Leo Chenal (signed a three-year, $24.75 million deal), edge rusher K'Lavon Chaisson (signed a one-year, $12 million deal), tight end Chig Okonkwo (signed a three-year, $30 million deal), running back Rachaad White (signed a one-year, $2 million deal) Head coach Dan Quinn isnt using injuries as an excuse for last years disappointing 5-12 finish after reaching the NFC Championship Game two years ago. Instead, the Washington Commanders made wholesale changes on offense and defense, moving on from experienced offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury in favor of quarterbacks coach David Blough, who will put Jayden Daniels under center more in the upcoming season. The defensive-minded Quinn also moved on from defensive coordinator Joe Whitt Jr., replacing him with Minnesota Vikings defensive passing game coordinator Daronte Jones. Expect an emphasis on improved pass rush defensively, led by athletic first-round pick Sonny Styles. The team also made a splash in free agency, adding Odafe Oweh after he recorded 7.5 sacks in 12 games with the Los Angeles Chargers last season. And on offense, general manager Adam Peters hopes the additions of running back Rachaad White, running back Jerome Ford and wide receiver Dyami Brown in free agency will lead to more explosive plays. Peters also drafted enticing Clemson wide receiver Antonio Williams in the third round and Penn State running back Kaytron Allen in the sixth round to help achieve that goal. The Commanders should improve this upcoming season and be back in the race for the NFC East division title. Notable additions: Defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence (acquired in trade with New York Giants), edge rusher Boye Mafe (signed a three-year, $60 million deal), defensive tackle Jonathan Allen (signed a two-year, $$25 million deal), safety Bryan Cook (signed a three-year, $40.25 million deal), edge rusher Cashius Howell (selected with 41st overall pick in 2026 NFL Draft) If Joe Burrow can stay healthy, the Cincinnati Bengals have upgraded enough defensively to compete for the top spot in the AFC North. The big move was trading for dominant defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence in a deal with the New York Giants, sacrificing the 10th overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. But they also signed defensive tackle Jonathan Allen, edge rusher Boye Mafe and safety Bryan Cook in free agency, helping to fill the void left by edge rusher Trey Hendrickson, who signed with the Baltimore Ravens. The Bengals had one of the worst defenses in the league last season, but have an infusion of talent that includes the addition of defensive linemen Cashius Howell and Landon Robinson through the draft. The Bengals allowed 29 points per game last season. If they can drop that number to the low-20s, Cincinnati will win more games because of an explosive offense. And the Bengals still have insurance behind Burrow in an accomplished veteran quarterback in Joe Flacco. Notable additions: Running back Travis Etienne (signed a four-year, $52 million deal), wide receiver Jordyn Tyson (selected with eighth overall pick in 2026 NFL Draft), guard David Edwards (signed a four-year, $61 million deal), linebacker Kaden Elliss (signed a three-year, $33 million deal), tight end Noah Fant (signed a two-year, $8.75 million deal) The New Orleans Saints appeared to have gotten the quarterback right, with last years second-round pick Tyler Shough showing he can be the long-term answer with the way he played in the second half of 2025. New Orleans added an elite playmaker with receiver Jordyn Tyson in the first round. Now the Arizona State product must prove he can stay healthy, dealing with a hamstring injury this past college football season. Third-round pick Oscar Delp is an athletic mover who gives head coach Kellen Moore the ability to use more heavy formations with more tight ends. North Dakota State product Bryce Lance, the younger brother of quarterback Trey Lance, was considered by some scouts I spoke with as one of the most underrated prospects in this years draft, with New Orleans adding the wide receiver in the fourth round of the draft. The Saints also signed running back Travis Etienne, guard David Edwards and tight end Noah Fant in free agency. Defensively, Georgia defensive tackle Christian Miller and Ohio State safety Lorenzo Styles should help upgrade the defense. New Orleans also signed Atlanta Falcons free agent linebacker Kaden Elliss to replace departed veteran inside linebacker Demario Davis. Those moves could put the Saints in a position to compete in the winnable NFC South. Notable additions: Running back Kenneth Walker III (signed a three-year, $45 million deal), cornerback Mansoor Delane (selected with the sixth overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft), defensive tackle Peter Woods (selected with the 29th overall pick), safety Alohi Gilman (signed a three-year, $24.75 million deal), edge rusher R Mason Thomas (selected with the 40th overall pick) With the loss of cornerback Trent McDuffie in a trade and fellow corner Jaylen Watson to the Los Angeles Rams in free agency, the Kansas City Chiefs focused on replacing those playmakers by taking four defensive players with their first four picks in the draft, including cornerbacks Mansoor Delane and Jadon Canady, defensive tackle Peter Woods and edge rusher R Mason Thomas. The Chiefs also signed veteran safety Alohi Gilman and defensive tackle Khyiris Tonga in free agency, revamping their defensive unit from front to back. Offensively, the centerpiece of this offseason was securing Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker III in free agency from the Seattle Seahawks. Walkers arrival should take pressure off Patrick Mahomes to carry the offense, as he returns from season-ending ACL knee surgery. Mahomes is expected to be ready for Week 1, as general manager Brett Veach recently said his star quarterback is ahead of schedule. Add in the return of Travis Kelce, and the Chiefs should rebound from a 6-11 campaign in 2025.

As one of the United States' most consistent leaders at 38 years old, U.S. national team defender Tim Ream is expected to be at the World Cup as one of the many veterans carried over from the 2022 squad. Ream joined First Things First on Wednesday to discuss everything from USA's tournament outlook and the impact of his leadership on the pitch. "Theres so many guys who would love to be in that position, to wear the armband and represent your country I dont look at it as extra pressure, its more like how can I help the guys around me be better each day," Ream said. "I try not to think about the extras and the extra responsibilities. Im the same with or without the armband. If someone else wants it, Ill be happy to stand right there next to them and help them out." The St. Louis native remains a central figure in the United States leadership and defensive structure. Ream earned the captains armband in 2023 and has led the group ever since. He debuted for the national team in 2010 and has logged over 80 caps. Notably, Ream has been part of the 2022 World Cup squad and was part of the USA's 2-0 win over Mexico in the Concacaf Nations League Final in 2024. Ream is in his third MLS season with Charlotte FC, arriving in 2024 after playing in England for clubs Bolton and Fulham for nine seasons. Heading into his second World Cup, Reams preparation on home soil is crucial especially as the 38-year-old enters the tournament with a lingering injury from last month. "Make sure youre getting into the gym in the morning & not necessarily lifting, but doing activation exercises As you get older, you have to do it more & more & add more & more. I dont think theres a day that goes by where we dont feel 100 percent, so theres always something we can work on." Ream recently suffered a groin injury in April that set him back from training and playing for a few weeks, forcing him to miss key matches with Charlotte FC leading up to the World Cup. Even at 38, Ream remains a vital part of USA's roster and will play a big role in bringing USA out of the group stages. The United States will kick off their World Cup run with their 26-man roster announced on May 26, and their first game against Paraguay on June 12 in Los Angeles. 2026 FIFA World Cup: How To Watch From June 11 through July 19, 2026, FOX Sports presents its largest World Cup production and broadcast slate to date featuring all 104 matches live across FOX (69) and FS1 (35) with every match live-streaming on FOX One and the FOX Sports App. All 104 tournament matches will air live across FOX (70) and FS1 (34) with every match streaming live and on-demand within both the FOX One and the FOX Sports apps.
