Sadie, a junior right winger, picked up the first goal of her Gophers career.As one of the prize recruits in the 2022 class, Ava was being counted on to score to help fill the scoring void the Gophers were facing due to graduation, and she finds herself third on the team in goals scored.She is playing on the Gophers’ second line, with another skilled freshman, Emma Kriesz, at center, and junior captain Peyton Hemp on left wing.“S...

(AP Photo/Chris Carlson)The Timberwolves’ defense wasn’t up to snuff. They were thoroughly outrun in transition and — with Anthony Edwards and Jaden McDaniels out with injuries — the wing play left a lot to be desired.And yet the Wolves emerged with a 123-117 victory over the Hornets, largely thanks to their late-game execution. Because while Minnesota may be without its star wings, it does still have Mike Conley.The Timberwolves made nine shots in the fourth frame — Conley scored or assisted on six of them. He orchestrated a series of easy looks late in the game, many of which ended up in Karl-Anthony Towns’ buckets.But in the final 90 seconds, Minnesota had the ball up three points. The Wolves ...

FORT COLLINS — Blake Barnett finished his high school career as a one-legged Superman and, more importantly, as a state champion.Finally.“This was a true fairytale, and I don’t think I could have asked for a better ending,” the flamboyant and ultra-confident senior quarterback said after No. 2 Erie beat top-ranked Palmer Ridge, 20-6, Saturday to win the Class 4A title at Canvas Stadium.With his sprained left ankle heavily taped, Barnett, ever the showstopper and usually faster than a speeding bullet, hopped 35 yards downfield on his right leg to wrap running back Braylon Toliver in an end zone bearhug after Toliver rambled for a game-clinching 32-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter.Moments after the clock struck zero, Barnett hopped to the sidelines, hoisted himself onto a bench and conducted the jubilant Erie crowd in a postgame symphony.

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:00:53 GMT

The Broncos will have three quarterbacks available for the first time this season when they play at Houston on Sunday.Denver on Saturday elevated practice squad quarterback Ben DiNucci to the game-day roster, marking the first time Sean Payton’s team has gone into a game this year with a QB potentially in the picture beyond Russell Wilson and backup Jarrett Stidham.There’s been no indication from the Broncos that either Wilson or Stidham is at any risk of missing the game. Neither has been on the injury report this week or at all during the season.The NFL changed a rule this offseason to allow teams to have an emergency third quarterback available as an extra player on the game day roster, but only if he is a member of the 53-man roster. DiNucci is not on the 53-man roster, however, so he must be elevated from the practice squad and take up a spot on the regular gameday roster to be eligible to play.Teams can elevate up to two players per week from the practice squad, and each playe...

Marin Catholic ends McClymonds season, Michael Peters’ coaching career, in dramatic NorCal 3-A title game

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:00:53 GMT

KENTFIELD — A few moments after a desperation pass by McClymonds hit the turf and Marin Catholic celebrated its 35-28 victory in the NorCal 3-A title game Saturday, Michael Peters took a few minutes to stand by himself and reflect upon his 11 years as the Warriors’ head coach.Peters’ career, one that included four state titles and six NorCal championships, did not have a storybook ending. As he thought about his tenure at his alma mater, which began as an assistant coach in 1992, Peters said he was ready to enjoy retirement, but couldn’t help but feel like it could have been delayed by one more week.“It’s over … my career is done,” Peters said, adding after a sigh, “I know we should’ve played better than that.”McClymonds trailed 21-6 at halftime but got rushing touchdowns from Tajir Golden (61 yards) and Redmani Albert (5 yards) and a fumble recovery for a score by Jajaun Hudson.But on two occasions in the second half...
