With 110 players across three teams, key playmakers returning from injury, and a defense expected to lead, the Wolverines open Friday against Hawaii's Konawaena aiming to regain their "eye of the tiger." 
• Suspect connected to stolen car arrested near Truckee (kolotv.com) — Truckee police arrested a Sacramento man accused of driving a stolen vehicle into town, crashing near I-80, and fleeing into the woods before being found along Donner Creek.
