Booming on skis reshapes Colo mountain town
The article notes a former silver boom that drew 10,000 residents to Boomering on skis, then left when silver dwindled. A new winter boom now arises with four ski areas nearby and multi million dollar condo development fueling growth in the Colorado community. For context, it also recalls the 1923 Dempsey Firpo bout at the Polo Grounds with Firpo being knocked out in the first round and Dempsey winning in the second.

Wisconsin to modify high school basketball rules next season
A statewide change aims to speed play by awarding the ball out of bounds after common fouls until the bonus rule appears after the fifth foul in each half. Once the fifth foul hits, the bonus allows a second free throw if the first is made. The rule was drafted by the National Basketball Committee during its annual meeting last month.
