DOVER — Senior Jules Stowell said the St. Thomas Aquinas volleyball team has talked all season about its mentality and ability to respond after digging themselves a hole.
They had to put that mentality to use Thursday night.
Fourth-seeded St. Thomas fell behind 7-2 in the opening set and later found itself tied at 20 before closing strong. The Saints carried that momentum through the next two sets to earn a 3-0 sweep of No. 13 Prospect Mountain in a Division III preliminary-round match.
St. Thomas (14-3) will host No. 5 Trinity (14-3) in a Division III quarterfinal Saturday at 6 p.m. Trinity advanced with a 3-0 win over No. 12 Sunapee.
"We came out struggling a little bit, but we definitely fought back," St. Thomas freshman Hadley DeStefano said. "I mean, in the playoffs, teams come to fight and teams come to win. So, no matter who the team is, we know they're going to come fight as hard as they can and I think just as a team, it's really symbolic that we fought back."

"When they last met" is an ongoing series during the NFL season that recalls the previous game between Washington and the Commanders' next opponent.
San Francisco nearly doubled Washington in yards and time of possession as it easily defeated the Commanders 27-10 on Sunday at Northwest Stadium in Landover.
The 49ers ran the ball down the Commanders' throats all day, totaling 184 rushing yards while Washington managed just 62.
The Commanders' defense offered little resistance to 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy, who completed 22 of 28 passes for 230 yards, two touchdowns, and no interceptions. Purdy's two-yard touchdown pass to Deebo Samuel put San Francisco ahead 10-0 in the first quarter. In the final quarter, with over nine minutes remaining, Purdy connected on a 17-yard touchdown pass to Brandon Aiyuk for the game's final score and a 27-10 lead.
Sam Howell connected with Terry McLaurin on a 3-yard touchdown pass with 4:33 remaining in the first half, tying the game at 10-10. However, the 49ers took control, scoring on Jake Moody's 22-yard field goal with 19 seconds left in the half, and the Commanders never threatened again.

On September 3, 2026, lululemon athletica inc. (NASDAQ:LULU) reported second-quarter fiscal 2026 results for the period ended August 2, 2026. Net revenue fell 4% to $2.4 billion, missing the $2.46 billion ****** ysts expected, and comparable sales dropped 10% on a constant dollar basis. Management cut full-year revenue guidance to a decline of 5% to 7%, down from a prior forecast of flat to down 1%, and lowered full-year earnings per share guidance to $9.48 to $9.73 from its prior forecast of $10.95 to $11.15, compared with $13.26 earned in fiscal 2025. Shares fell about 18% in extended trading. Incoming CEO Heidi O'Neill was set to start the following week.

Citi's cut to $117 from $130 came with a Neutral rating and the observation that the stock's risk-reward is "slightly more favorable" after the selloff, even though the firm called fiscal 2027 visibility "very unclear." The operational bright spots are real.
lululemon athletica inc. (NASDAQ:LULU) increased its chase volume, the supply chain capability that lets it reorder fast-moving styles quickly, by about 20% this year, and away-from-body styles including the Groove Wide-Leg, Align Foldover Jogger, Breezily, and an updated Dance Studio Pant are trending well as shoppers shift from tight-fitting leggings. The brand's community pull held up too.
The SeaWheeze Half Marathon and Festival returned in August for the first time since 2019, drawing nearly 10,000 runners from 24 countries and roughly 14,000 festival attendees, while more than 85,000 people from 120 countries joined the companion Strava challenge, strong enough that Lululemon already committed to bringing the event back next summer. Rest of World revenue, spanning EMEA and APAC, grew 5% on a reported basis, and the company ended the quarter with $1.4 billion in cash and no outstanding borrowings.

While the Detroit Lions are preparing for the 2026 season, the latest NFL rumors project that the team could lose one player. According to Dan Graziano of ESPN, the Lions have committed more than $1 billion to star players, including running back Jahmyr Gibbs, which leaves veterans Brian Branch and Sam LaPorta fighting for new contracts this upcoming season. Graziano does not expect a new contract to materialize before Week 1, but Lions general manager Brad Holmes expresses his desire to keep all star players from the 2023 draft class, including LB Jack Campbell, for a "long time."
"We still want to keep those guys around; those plans haven't changed," Holmes said Wednesday, via Richard Silva of The Detroit News. "There's a couple factors that we've still got to sort through. But in terms of us wanting those guys around? Absolutely. Hopefully, we can get that done."
"Hopefully" is a strong word for the Lions. Detroit is walking into the season without triggering new deals for Branch or LaPorta, who are both coming off season-ending injuries. Both are also set to become unrestricted free agents next offseason.
Detroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta (87) makes a catch against Washington Commanders linebacker Frankie Luvu (4) during the first half at Northwest Stadium in Landover, Md. on Sunday, November 9, 2025.
Unfortunately, it will probably come down to who can stay healthier and make an immediate impact this upcoming campaign. After all, Branch and LaPorta have proven to be top-5 athletes when healthy. However, the former second-round pick and 2024 Pro Bowl safety may have an edge here. The Lions were forced to release cornerback Terrion Arnold this offseason due to the latest investigation, and if they give up another elite secondary threat, it could become detrimental to the team's defense.

GOFFSTOWN - Avery Flynn had 29 **** ists and 13 digs as the Dover High School volleyball team, the defending Division I state champions, opened with a 3-2 win over Goffstown.
Individual game scores were 21-25, 25-21, 12-25, 25-22, 15-12.
"It was a great win," Dover head coach Whitney Carrier said. "We have spent a lot of time in preseason putting ourselves in difficult situations so we can learn how to deal with the stress and pressure of struggling through something, and that paid off tonight. They worked really hard as a team and I'm proud of them."
Molly OConnor added nine kills and four aces for the Green Wave, while Rylen Marchione had seven kills and three blocks.

College fantasy football ***** yst Eric Froton sets the table for Week 1 of the 2026 season.
Sutton Smith had missed some time early in camp which led to speculation that Arkansas holdover from the Sam Pittman era, Braylen Russell, would get the first crack at the starting RB job. The Hogs were among the most effective running teams in the nation last year, ranking first in rushing success rate and yards per carry. Former Memphis HC Ryan Silverfield takes over this year and brings with him a rush-oriented philosophy that was a catalyst for the Tigers' fourth overall ranking in EPA/rush.
Smith is now the preferred CFF option of the two and deserves a ***** p in your rankings, but I still think Russell will see carries and eat into Smith's workload.
With Washington's top two rushers (Jonah Coleman/Adam Mohammed) departing, there is ample opportunity for someone to take the reins. Jordan Washington is the leading returnee with 233 rushing yards on a sparkling 8.6 YPC last year, while Oregon transfer Jayden Limar brings experience and production on a per-carry basis to the competition. So it was quite unexpected when Carr led the competition out of spring, as he only managed to accrue 14 yards on four carries during his freshman season.
Washington's 44th ranked schedule is one of the most favorable in the Big Ten, while their excellent offensive line averaged 3.4 yards before contact (10th in FBS). If Carr can maintain his hold on the job, he could develop into a major CFF contributor.

The Washington Commanders will play their third preseason game on Friday evening against the Baltimore Ravens at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore, Maryland. It's a mere hop, skip, and jump away from where the Commanders play in Landover, so while it's an away game, there's very little travel involved.
Ahead of their Friday evening preseason game, the Commanders and Ravens held a joint practice, and it wasn't pretty for the burgundy and gold. Most of the practice was dominated by the Ravens, save for the end of the day when the Commanders seemed to figure things out. After practice, right tackle Josh Conerly Jr. spoke with reporters about the day.
First, Conerly is asked for his ***** sment of the joint practice. "A little bit of ups and downs from our side," Conerly said.
"Overall, I feel our communication was right, and we were flowing. We started out slow, and then picking it up, picking it up, and we finished alright." He saw some positives in their communication and pass protection, but mentioned the run game needed some attention.
"Really just getting the call a little bit more. I feel like we were just out of sync a little bit with our combos, and there was a little bit of mix-up in the lineup as well. So there were some guys next to each other that haven't worked next to each other at all this whole camp. But we made it work, and we got going eventually."

It took some time for it to come together, but the full NASCAR Cup Series schedule for 2027 is officially set in stone. Next year's schedule sees minor tweaks compared to 2026, including a revamp of how the 2027 Chase will look.
Among the adjustments include the Wheatley Vodka Clash exhibition race to start the season. Previously at Bowman-Gray Stadium, the Clash will return to the Daytona International Speedway for the first time since 2021 and first time on the oval configuration since 2020.
Dover Motor Speedway returns to the schedule as a points-paying race in 2027 after hosting the All-Star Race in 2026. The $1 million All-Star exhibition returns to North Wilkesboro Speedway after the North Carolina short track was the site for the event from 2023-2025.
North Wilkesboro loses its points-paying race in 2027 after hosting one this season for the first time since 1996.
The Southern 500 at Darlington Raceway moves out of the Chase and will be the regular-season finale in 2027. World Wide Technology Raceway and Bristol Motor Speedway also move out of the Chase in 2027 to points-paying races in August.

NFL training camp creates fake stars every August. Caleb Douglas is starting to feel different. Miami selected the 6'4" Texas Tech receiver 75th overall in April. By the Dolphins' first depth chart, Douglas was already listed with the starters alongside Malik Washington and Jalen Tolbert.
Then he gave everyone a reason to understand why. Douglas played throughout Miami's opening touchdown drive against Washington and hauled in a ridiculous one-handed 28-yard catch from Malik Willis. How ridiculous?

Thirty-three days after the World Cup ended, the Premier League season begins on Aug. 21, filled with storylines as usual.
Can ***** nal repeat? Which big clubs will bounce back and which will struggle? How will all the new managers fare? Will a newly-promoted team stay up? Can anyone score more goals than Erling Haaland?
These questions will take nine drama-filled months to answer, though clues lie in last season's numbers. Each team's players have changed to some extent, but enough holdovers remain to use underlying stats as part of this season's projections.
For example, before last season Wolverhampton's underlying numbers had suggested relegation danger for several years, and Bournemouth's hinted at the ability to push for Champions League. Both omens came to fruition, as Wolves finally went down, and the Cherries took sixth.
The numbers aren't foolproof, of course. No stats indicated Tottenham would nearly get relegated, that Chelsea would barely finish in the top half, or that ***** nal would have perhaps the best set-piece season ever. That's the fun in sports of course. You never quite know what you're going to get, but that doesn't prevent us from taking our best shots.

The newly configured District 1-5A will be a hybrid of teams that know each other well, and teams that don't.
Four holdovers — Los Alamos, Highland, Capital and Miyamura — are joined by four previous Class 6A programs in Los Lunas, Piedra Vista, Cibola and Santa Fe who all dropped a class under the state's latest realignment and classification.
"It's a much tougher district now," Los Alamos coach Garett Williams said.
This new district's headliner is undoubtedly Los Lunas, which played in the 6A quarterfinals last November.
New coach Stephen Johnston has a stacked roster that most every coach expects will allow the Tigers to challenge the likes of Artesia and Roswell for a blue trophy come Thanksgiving weekend.

Da'Vine Joy Randolph is taking the company behind a $17,000-a-month Los Angeles rental to court, alleging that the luxury home came with problems ranging from pests and plumbing trouble to defective locks and inconsistent water pressure.
The actress leased the five-bedroom, six-bathroom property in September 2024, according to court documents detailed by TMZ. The 4,452-square-foot home was presented as being in good condition, Randolph alleges, but she says numerous problems emerged after she moved in.
Randolph also alleges that attempts to address those problems were insufficient.
Randolph, who won the 2024 Oscar for supporting actress for The Holdovers, is seeking unspecified damages in the rental dispute. She also wants reimbursement for expenses she says she incurred because of repairs and pest-control work at the property.
The lawsuit describes several categories of alleged problems. According to TMZ, Randolph says the property had water issues, plumbing conditions and inconsistent water pressure. She also alleges there were pest conditions requiring attention.

LANDOVER, Md. — The Miami Dolphins played their starters in their preseason opener, and the first-team offense found the end zone.
Starting quarterback Malik Willis and running back De'Von Achane combined to orchestrate a 14-play, 93 yard touchdown drive while rookie wide receiver Caleb Douglas made a highlight-reel catch during the initial series in the Dolphins' exhibition against the Washington Commanders at Northwest Stadium.
Willis was 4 of 5 for 43 yards against the Washington second-team defense. Achane had seven carries for 39 yards and punched in a 1-yard touchdown behind the starting left side of the Miami offensive line.
Douglas hauled in a 28-yard pass from Willis with one hand as he fought through pass interference from the Commanders' Antonio Hamilton Sr. Willis' lone incompletion went to Douglas, who was open with ***** e in front of the sideline but stuck his left foot out too far and was out of bounds. Willis' other three completions went to third-year slot receiver Malik Washington.
The Dolphins started the series backed up at their own 7-yard line because running back Jaylen Wright ***** ed the opening kickoff and linebacker Tyrel Dodson was called for a hold.

WENDOVER, Utah (AP) — The first — and only — person to break the sound barrier in a car hits the track in Utah this week with new wheels and his eye on another record.
Twenty years ago, British driver Andy Green set the land speed record for a diesel-powered car, reaching 350.092 mph (563.4 kph) at Utah's famous Bonneville Salt Flats. Green will return to the lunarlike landscape Tuesday and try to beat that mark, this time with a hydrogen-powered car.
The retired Royal Air Force fighter pilot aims not only to win another accolade but to showcase the power of hydrogen as a clean-energy alternative. It's the "fuel of the future," Green told The ******* ociated Press in a July interview.
Green will be driving the 32-foot (9.75-meter) JCB Hydromax, the brainchild of British construction equipment manufacturer JCB. The car is bright yellow, long and slim, resembling a pencil. It's powered by two hydrogen internal combustion engines with a combined 1,600 horsepower, which were adapted from engines used in the company's construction machinery. They mix pressurized hydrogen gas with air and ignite it to create bursts of power.
In targeting the diesel-powered record, Green also hopes to easily clear the world land speed records for hydrogen internal combustion engines (185.5 mph/298.5 kph) and electric vehicles (341.3 mph/549.2 kph).

Apple (AAPL) is about to hand its top position to an engineer, and the early signs suggest the company's focus may be shifting even more toward its products. John Ternus becomes CEO on September 1, taking over from Tim Cook, who steps into the role of executive chairman. Ternus is not a finance or operations leader like Cook. He has spent his whole career in hardware, having joined Apple's product design team in 2001 and running its hardware engineering since 2013.
His track record is stacked with the products people actually hold. Ternus helped bring the iPad and AirPods to life, and oversaw hardware work across the iPhone, Mac, and Apple Watch. More recently, his teams redefined the iPhone 17 lineup, including the thin iPhone Air, and gave AirPods the ability to work as hearing aids. Even Cook, while announcing the handover, described Ternus as having "the mind of an engineer, the soul of an innovator."

The New York Giants are less than a week away from opening their 2026 training camp, and we have been previewing the team's various units. Today we look at the edge rushers.
The Giants have been stockpiling edge rushers the past few seasons, using top ****** ets to draft, trade for, and sign high-caliber players.
"I think our defensive front, man, it's scary. I love it. We have – we're almost cursed with too much talent. We have that – we have a matchup problem no matter what team we face. I think just being able to work together and just play off each other and continue to build that chemistry, that's going to be key for us," Kayvon Thibodeaux said.
Thibodeaux may be right. The talent runs so deep that he is currently a backup. This past April, the Giants drafted Ohio State linebacker Arvell Reese, arguably the best pass rusher in the draft, and are shifting him to inside linebacker due to the logjam.
Bullen is back as one of the few holdovers from Brian Daboll's staff. He served in the same role under Daboll the past two years and was inserted as interim defensive coordinator for the final five games of 2025. He is well-respected among his peers and the players. An astute move by incoming head coach John Harbaugh to retain him.

The Miami Dolphins summoned their rookies back to their facilities on Tuesday to prepare for training camp at their Baptist Health Training Complex, and their veterans will follow next Tuesday, July 28.
While many position groups have plenty of players returning from 2025, Miami's specialists are almost all completely new, as they let a kicker, punter and long snapper leave in free agency.
Before training camp starts, let's take a look at the four Dolphins that currently make up the specialist room.
Patterson played at Memphis from 2017-20 before going undrafted in 2021. Since then, he's had stops with eight different teams, making 87.4% of his field goals (90-of-103) and 96.6% of his extra points (143-of-148).
As the lone holdover in the room, Patterson may have a small leg up in the competition. In 17 games filling in for Jason Sanders in 2025, he made 93.1% of his field goals (27-of-29) and 97.1% of his extra points (34-of-35).

Going by the numbers, no driver across NASCAR's top three national touring circuits is as popular as Toni Breidinger.
The 27-year-old who was the first Arab-American woman to compete in the top level of stockcar racing has more than 5.8 million combined followers across Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, X and YouTube.
After being the only woman to race full-time in NASCAR last season, fans haven't heard much from her on the track this year. Due to her part-time schedule with Rackley W.A.R., Breidinger hasn't gotten behind the wheel of the No. 27 Chevrolet in the Craftsman Truck Series since the May 15 race at Dover — the race that wound up being Kyle Busch's last win before his shocking death.
But Breidinger has quietly been working on her racecraft. She's getting back to her roots this year and returned to racing late-models, winning a competition at the historic Hickory Motor Speedway on July 11. Days later, she was in New York City, stunting on the red carpet at the ESPYs — a display of how she's able to successfully balance her on-track aspirations with her modeling career.
This weekend, Breidinger returns to NASCAR when the Truck Series races at Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park in Brownsburg, Indiana on Friday, July 24 at 8 p.m. ET. In the TSport 200, Breidinger will drive the No. 27 Chevrolet splashed with a Celsius paint scheme.

After tying their longest win streak in franchise history after a 6-3 win against the Baltimore Orioles, the Red Sox are riding high.
A large question still looms over the franchise: should the front office buy, sell, or hold at the trade deadline in two weeks?
Red Sox fans were split on the crucial decision.
“I hope they keep everything,” said one fan. “This is a team that should go for it.”
Suzana and Mark Baron of Andover don’t want management to mess up the team’s mojo.
