• Looking Back: Two girls get arrested then quickly marry Twin Falls boys; and charred remains of man found inside home (eastidahonews.com) — Two Burley girls’ arrests after a trip to Pocatello led to an unusual legal dispute in 1925 when they married before their scheduled hearing. This history roundup revisits the Burley Herald’s account, including their attorney’s argument that marriage undermined the delinquency charges and the ensuing legal challenge to their detention.
   

• Twin Falls' Bohrn named top volleyball player in Great Basin (magicvalley.com) — Three Burley volleyball players earned Great Basin Conference recognition, led by senior outside hitter Mahri Robins on the second team.
