Rise and shine everyone, Monday links are hear for your reading pleasure. This weekend brought some baseball and softball updates, as well as some football and basketball related news.
LB Harmon faithfully finds San Jose through a difficult path.

He seems to be on a better path now, both in his person life as well as the athletic part of his life.

Broncos softball lose two over the weekend, get bounced from NCAA tourney.
The Broncos lost to both Washington and Minnesota, a difficult two-game stretch for the first-time tourney competitors.

Still, it was quite a run for the Broncos this season.
