WARSAW — Westview faced a few challenges Saturday, Sept. 5 at the Warsaw Tiger Soccer Complex.
Not only was the heat index at or above 90 degrees for the afternoon match, but the Class 1A No. 1 Warriors were facing a strong Class 3A Tigers team who was coming off a 2-1 loss at 3A No. 2 Homestead. Westview battled for the entire match but ultimately fell, 3-2, dropping its record to 6-2 on the season.
"We knew Warsaw was going to play possession with us in the middle," Westview head coach Drew Ryall said. "(Senior) Olivia (Bontrager), (junior) Makenna (Bender) and (junior) Josie (Ryall) tend to dominate the middle, but we knew Warsaw was going to have their way a little bit more today than other teams we've played.
"We were really pleased with our defensive shape and communication and making it really hard on (the Tigers)."
The Warriors scored first when sophomore goalkeeper Breanna Garrett — making her first career varsity start — sent a long punt that freshman Kierra Roose ended up putting in the net in the 5th minute.

Northridge and Goshen were the top two teams in the Northern Lakes Conference last year with the Raiders eventually prevailing for their third straight NLC **** le.
No one would be surprised if those two are once again this year at the top of the league standings.
"I feel the NLC will be tough again this year across the top," said Northridge coach Chris Malott, whose squad finished 15-3-2 overall last year and 7-0 in the conference.
"We return a seasoned core from last year. Goshen and Warsaw also return some very talented players. Concord and NorthWood have some talent and I feel they may surprise some people. Plymouth has a new coach (Lindsey Stiles) and I think she will bring some good things to the program."
No. 14-ranked (3A) Northridge will be led by Adelynn Miller (12 goals, seven **** ists), Anna Garber (three goals, one **** ist), Brylee Yoder (one goal, three **** ists) and Halle Moeller from last year's Class 3A sectional championship squad. All four were all-conference selections last year. Yoder also made the honorable mention All-State team.

Éder Militão, Rodrygo and Ferland Mendy all started Real Madrid's 2-0 win over Atalanta in Warsaw in the 2024 UEFA Super Cup. Kylian Mbappé had just arrived and scored on his debut, and Madrid appeared to be entering another dominant cycle. The reality that followed in the next two years was brutal.
According to Transfermarkt, Militão has missed 90 matches for club and country since the start of the 2024-25 season after suffering ACL injuries in both knees. Over the same period, Mendy has dealt with nine separate injuries and missed 55 matches for Real Madrid. Rodrygo has missed 30 matches since the beginning of 2024-25 and is currently recovering from an ACL injury of his own.
Arancha Rodríguez reported that Rodrygo is expected to return in early 2027. Militão could be back by late September or early October this year, while Mendy's return is currently projected for around the end of the year.
As per Capology, Rodrygo's fixed gross annual salary, excluding bonuses, is €16.67 million. Éder Militão earns €14.58 million, while Ferland Mendy earns €10.42 million. All three contracts run until June 30, 2028.
Together, those contracts account for 14.12% of Real Madrid's current salary bill for 2026-27 and 16.13% for 2027-28. The latter figure is naturally subject to change depending on the club's transfer activity in the summer of 2027.

WARSAW (AP) — A Russian plan to kill a Ukrainian American citizen in Warsaw was thwarted by Poland before it could be carried out, the Polish prime minister said Thursday, adding it was the first time that "someone on the order of Russia" sought to attack a U.S. citizen on the territory of another NATO country.
Western officials have previously warned that Russia stepped up a campaign of targeted killings since President Vladimir Putin's 2022 invasion of Ukraine, saying they have disrupted several plots across Europe. But Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said this incident was unprecedented.
The suspect, who was allegedly recruited by Russia's secret services, was detained by Polish authorities on Aug. 7. He will be held in custody for three months, the Warsaw police said in a statement.
The American Ukrainian citizen "was uncomfortable for the Putin regime," Tusk said in a news conference, without elaborating.
The operation was carried out in cooperation with U.S. services, said Tomasz Siemoniak, Poland's minister overseeing intelligence services. He said the targeted victim was a U.S. citizen "of Ukrainian origin." Officials did not immediately provide further details.

Jan Ziolkowski could leave Roma after just one year. Speaking exclusively to us, the interested party stated that he's happy at Trigoria, but his adventure could be coming to an end.
Signed last summer from Legia Warsaw for €6 million, he's logged 761 minutes in all competitions, scoring one goal in the Europa League.
The 2006-born player wants more playing time, and doesn't appear destined to rise through the ranks in the capital.
The Trigoria club – according to Il Corriere della Sera – has established that €20 million is needed to sell the defender, confirming the feeling that the central defender is talented.
There's no shortage of suitors: several clubs from Saudi Arabia are ready to knock on the doors of the Roman training center. They certainly wouldn't face financial problems; it remains to be seen whether the player will be open to an early departure from Europe.

Former world number one Iga Swiatek cruised into the Toronto Masters semi-finals on Monday, taking just 64 minutes to sweep past Russian Diana Shnaider 6-2, 6-1.

"From the beginning I went for it. I felt like I could dominate," Swiatek said. "I was quite happy with the way I played."
The 25-year-old world number eight from Warsaw will on Wednesday face Ukraine's ninth-ranked Elina Svitolina, who rallied past 19th-ranked Ekaterina Alexandrova 3-6, 6-0, 6-3.
Svitolina won eight consecutive games in the second and third sets to dispatch her Russian rival in 93 minutes.

According to meczyki.pl, Borussia Dortmund's chief scout Bastian Schulz was conducting some research in the Polish topflight last week.
Schulz attended Legia Warsaw's 3-1 victory over Zagłębie Lubin on Sunday to observe attacking midfielder Marcel Regula.
Regula's employer confirmed to the Polish sports portal that the Westphalian giants are intrigued by the 19-year-old talent.
Meanwhile, Sky Germany also reported several days ago that fellow Bundesliga side 1.FC Köln were also keen to sign the youngster.
It's clear that if Borussia Dortmund goes ahead with the deal for the midfielder, Köln won't be able to compete financially.

BENTON — Brodie Garber knew down deep that at the end of his coaching career, he’d be back leading a girls basketball team.
He wasn’t sure when or where, but he just knew.
The answer came earlier this year, when Garber left his position as the boys basketball coach at Fairfield to take the job as the head girls coach of the Falcons.
Garber was the head boys coach at Fairfield for two years, posting a record of 29-16 including 16-6 last season. He also served as an ***** istant under Derek Hinen for the 2023-24 season, when the Falcons went to the Class 3A semistate.
While he wasn’t unhappy as the boys coach, Garber jumped at the opportunity to return to coaching the Fairfield girls, after Kyle Hartman resigned to take over as head coach at Warsaw.

WARSAW, July 17 (Reuters) - Poland's president vetoed two bills on Friday that would have introduced "cohabitation contracts" for couples living together, dealing a blow to same-sex couples in one of the ‌few European Union countries with limited rights for LGBT people.
Prime Minister Donald Tusk took office in ‌2023 pledging to deliver reforms on abortion and LGBT rights, but divisions within his broad pro-European coalition as well as nationalist President Karol Nawrocki's veto powers mean he has struggled to do so.
The bills on the "status of the closest person in a relationship and the cohabitation agreement" would have allowed two adults to enter into an agreement regulating issues such as joint property rights, access to medical information and matters concerning burial.
The bills had secured support from ‌across the governing coalition, including from the ⁠conservative PSL party which had refused to support earlier proposals which they feared would undermine the institution of marriage.
However, Nawrocki, an ally of the nationalist opposition party Law ⁠and Justice (PiS), said the bills still went too far.

As recently as February 2026, the company was out there signing deals. A new power purchase agreement with Hankook Tire. Existing contracts with Nestle, Cargill, Mars, and Auchan. A solar pipeline of over a gigawatt under construction in Poland. ***** ody looking at it from the outside would have seen what was coming.
Three months later it had €1.1 million in the bank and $952 million in debt. On May 29, 2026, GoldenPeaks Poland Holding and 39 affiliated entities walked into the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas and filed for Chapter 11, according to Bloomberg Law.
What brought the company down started with a subsidiary. Spectris Energy was a wholly owned affiliate that handled engineering, construction, and day-to-day operations across GoldenPeaks' entire Polish solar portfolio.
In January 2026, Spectris ran into trouble of its own. Rising component costs, higher interest rates, and currency swings pushed it into remedial proceedings in a Warsaw court. Polish tax authorities froze its bank accounts. Suppliers walked. Spectris went dark.
GoldenPeaks had no employees of its own. Construction, operations, accounting, financing, land leasing, all of it ran through affiliated companies. When Spectris collapsed, GoldenPeaks had ***** ody left to run its solar farms.

WARSAW, July 3 (Reuters) - Ukraine is looking for ways to lower tension with Warsaw, Poland's prime minister said on Friday, adding that Poland's neighbour to the east ‌should come to terms with its history to join the European Union.
Diplomatic relations between the two countries ‌entered their worst crisis since Russia's 2022 full-scale invasion of Ukraine after Polish President Karol Nawrocki stripped Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelenskiy of Poland's top honour.
Nawrocki said he took the step due to the naming of an army unit after insurgents who massacred Poles in World War Two.
Prime Minister Donald Tusk, a political opponent of Nawrocki, has been trying to smooth tensions, and said he had received positive signals from Friday's meeting between Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha and his Polish counterpart Radoslaw Sikorski in ‌Warsaw.

According to Sky Sport Germany, Borussia Mönchengladbach are on the verge of completing a deal for the 19-year-old centre-back from Legia Warsaw.
Gladbach are expected to pay around €3 million to secure the services of the Polish youth international, who is set to sign a long-term contract with the Bundesliga club.
Leszczynski established himself as a key figure for the Polish capital side during the 2025/26 campaign, making 52 appearances across all competitions and cementing his place as a regular in the heart of the defence.
The defender is expected to undergo his medical next week before the transfer is officially completed.

WARSAW, Poland (AP) — Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelenskyy has returned Poland's highest state honor, after the Polish president stripped him of the award as a politically charged dispute over World War II history resurfaced.
Ukrainians believed the order "was meant for the Ukrainian People and our army," Zelenskyy wrote in a social media post explaining the gesture. "Today, I sent the Order back to the President of Poland. I believe the future will confirm the respect Ukrainians deserve."
The message published on X is accompanied by photos of the Polish order and a postal receipt that it was about to be mailed to the Polish presidential office.
President Karol Nawrocki decided to strip Zelenskyy of the Order of the White Eagle over the Ukrainian leader's decision to name a military unit after a Ukrainian paramilitary organization accused of massacring Poles during WWII.
Former Polish President Andrzej Duda bestowed the award on Zelenskyy in 2023 for services to security, resilience and the defense of human rights.

WARSAW, Poland (AP) — Polish President Karol Nawrocki said Friday he will strip Volodymyr Zelenskyy of Poland's highest state honor over the Ukraine leader's decision to name a military unit after a Ukrainian paramilitary organization accused of massacring Poles during World War II.
Zelenskyy was awarded the Order of the White Eagle in 2023 by Poland's then President Andrzej Duda for his services to security, resilience and the defence of human rights.
But it will now be revoked after Zelenskyy issued a decree on May 26 naming a military unit of Ukraine's Special Operations Forces after the UPA — the Ukrainian Insurgent Army — which operated during the 1940s and 1950s and which is accused in Poland of mass killings.
"For the majority of Polish society, the Ukrainian Insurgent Army remains above all a formation responsible for cruel crimes against the citizens of the Polish Republic during World War II," Nawrocki said in a 13-minute address on social media.
Nawrocki said his decision to revoke the honor did not mean Poland's support for Ukraine in its defense against Russia would decrease.

WARSAW, June 19 (Reuters) - Poland's president has decided to strip Volodymyr Zelenskiy of the country's top honour after Ukraine's head of state caused outrage by renaming an army unit after the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA), nationalists who ‌massacred Poles in World War Two.
President Karol Nawrocki's decision looked likely to unleash a severe diplomatic crisis between ‌the neighbours just days ahead of a conference on Ukraine's reconstruction in the Polish city of Gdansk.
"In light of President Volodymyr Zelenskiy's consent to name one of the units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine "Heroes of the UPA,"... I have decided to revoke the Order of the White Eagle from the President of Ukraine," Nawrocki said in a statement.
"At this point, I would like to emphasize: this decision is not directed against the Ukrainian people. It does not signify a change in the strategic direction of Polish security policy."

WARSAW, Poland (AP) — A 44-year-old Russian artist who has been critical of Russian President Vladimir Putin was shot and killed at close range near his home in the eastern Polish city of Biala Podlaska, prosecutors said Tuesday.
Two Belarusian citizens, aged 37 and 33, were arrested near the Belarusian Consulate after the killing on Monday, they said.
Polish media identified the victim as Robert Kuzovkov, while prosecutors named him only as Robert K., in accordance with Polish privacy laws. They said he was an artist who used the pseudonym Semyon Skrepetsky.
Through his art, he "expressed criticism of the current policies of the Russian authorities," the prosecutors said in a statement.
He painted unflattering portraits of Putin, Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov and other high-ranking Russian officials. One depicts Putin being cradled in the arms of the Soviet dictator Josef Stalin.
