Suspected kratom derivatives were found in the student's room, police said.
A father and son who worked at a Mississippi smoke shop were charged by federal prosecutors in connection with one of the two Ole Miss student deaths that took place last week.
U.S. Attorney Scott F. Leary for the Northern District of Mississippi announced Friday that a criminal complaint was filed against Yahya Mohamed Mosleh, 51, and Islam Yahya Mosleh, 18, on charges with possession with the intent to distribute controlled substances in connection with the death of Aidan Hamilton.
The father and son, who were arrested last week, worked at the smoke shop that allegedly sold illegal substances to Hamilton, investigators allege.
Hamilton, a freshman from Englewood, Colorado, was found dead on campus on Sept. 21, and investigators found "packages, some with missing tablets, of suspected kratom derivatives," according to the U.S. Attorney's office.

On September 15, Arthur J. Gallagher & Co. (NYSE:AJG) announced that it had bought McMillan Insurance & Bonding Inc., an Englewood, Colorado, firm that operates as Innovise Business Consultants. Gallagher did not say what it paid. On its own, the deal is a footnote. But it is one of many, and the way those deals show up in earnings is where the debate over this stock really lives.
On July 30, Gallagher reported results for the quarter ended June 30, and the top line was hard to argue with. Revenue from its combined Brokerage and Risk Management businesses grew 24%, and organic growth, which leaves out acquisitions, was 6%. That second number shows clients are staying and spending. It was not confined to one corner, either, since organic fees in the risk management arm rose 12%. Management adds that retention is strong and customers want broader help from the platform. Adjusted earnings per share climbed to $2.84 from $2.30, which means growth is reaching profit once one-time acquisition costs are set aside.
Innovise fits the pattern. It sells surety bonds and commercial insurance brokerage with a focus on manufacturing, energy, construction and real estate, and Chairman and CEO J. Patrick Gallagher, Jr. said that niche expertise adds depth in Colorado. Jason McMillan's team will move into Gallagher's Denver office and work under Bret VanderVoort, who oversees retail property/casualty brokerage for the Western Zone. Buying specialists and folding them into existing offices is a repeatable playbook, and Gallagher closed 14 brokerage acquisitions in the first six months of 2026.
Now look at reported earnings, because that is where you see the cost. Diluted earnings per share fell to $1.25, from $1.40 in the second quarter of 2025, even though revenue jumped. Much of the gap between reported and adjusted results is the price of buying growth. Amortization of acquired intangibles alone weighs on brokerage net earnings by $218 million, up from $130 million a year ago, and integration costs rose as well. Adjusted figures set those aside, but they are real expenses, and they keep landing as long as Gallagher keeps buying.
Margins tell a similar story. The brokerage segment's adjusted EBITDAC margin, a stand-in for operating profit, slipped to 33.3% from 36.1%. Gallagher points to last year's interest income on cash raised for the ***** uredPartners deal, which closed in the third quarter of 2025, plus seasonality and newly added tuck-ins. That is a fair explanation. But the debt behind the deal is still here, including $9.55 billion of public debt, plus more in private placements and on a credit line. And the deal flow is thinner: brokerage acquisitions closed in the first six months of 2026 carried $107 million of annualized revenue, versus $354 million a year earlier, which puts more weight on organic growth.

Brock Purdy continues to prove doubters by exceeding his career expectations. And following the San Francisco 49ers' 2026 opener against the Los Angeles Rams in Australia on Thursday, he obtained another record to his collection.
Despite a slow start, Purdy had a great performance leading the offense. He completed 25 out of 34 passes for 205 yards and three touchdowns and one interception.
Purdy completed the 50th game of his career, including his 46th start. His passing accuracy has been remarkable, getting 68.1% of his throws to fellow receivers. This paved the way for him to make NFL history, via Real App.
When healthy, Purdy shines as one of the best quarterbacks in the league. He was the final pick in the 2022 draft, adding more lore to his resume as a player that defied expectations and achieved remarkable success in the NFL.

FRANKLIN LAKES − Ridgewood made the first big play. Ramapo made the rest.
The home Raiders scored 20 straight points after giving up a 95-yard touchdown run and a pair of interceptions. That enabled the No. 4 team in the North Jersey Public Super 20 to topple No. 12 Ridgewood, 43-24, at Drew Gibbs Field on Sept. 10.
Ramapo's top three backs combined to rush for 250 yards, and quarterback Luke Magerko threw a 70-yard TD pass to Cole Seyffer for the Raiders' longest play of the night.
The special teams chipped in with a Brandon Barry blocked punt that Tyler Sorafine recovered in the end zone. Marcello Tirri gave the defense a lift with an interception on the second play of the second half, which led to the second of three Joey Gorga touchdown runs.
Check back soon for more.

An auction of the retail empire formerly owned by the Barclay family is set to be shelved after bidders failed to meet the £2bn asking price.
Very Group, the online retailer that also owns the Littlewoods brand, was bought by US private equity firm Carlyle for a nominal £1 sum last year and subsequently put up for sale.
But plans to sell the company now appear to be in jeopardy after none of the potential suitors, which included Chinese online giant JD.com, came up with offers large enough to meet Carlyle's demands, Sky News reported.
Carlyle, which had been Very's main creditor, seized control of Very in November following the collapse of the Barclay empire amid a dispute with Lloyds Banking Group about unpaid debts.
In addition to JD.com, possible bidders are said to have included investment firm Elliott, which owns Waterstones, and plus-size online retailer N Brown, which owns the Jacamo and Simply Be brands.

Los Angeles Clippers star Kawhi Leonard is expected to leave and join his former team, the Toronto Raptors, once a previously agreed trade goes through.
Leonard was hit with a $700,000 fine for his role in the Clippers' cap-circumvention deal, while the LA franchise got a massive penalty, including a loss of picks and suspensions for the Clippers' higher-ups.
Now that the NBA has ruled on Leonard and the Clippers, both parties can move forward with the trade the Clippers and Raptors agreed to.

Marnus Labuschagne has been left out of Australia's ODI squad for the upcoming tours of Zimbabwe and South Africa, raising more questions about his future in the national team.
The batter had a poor run during Australia's recent ODI series in Pakistan and Bangladesh. Although he finished the Bangladesh campaign with an unbeaten 55 after being moved down the batting order, it was not enough to secure his place.
With Travis Head and Mitchell Marsh returning, Australia's selectors decided to leave Labuschagne out. His omission could also affect his chances of playing in the upcoming three-Test series against South Africa, especially after his disappointing performances against Bangladesh.
The six ODIs against Zimbabwe and South Africa are important for Australia's preparations for the 2027 World Cup, which will be hosted by South Africa, Zimbabwe and Namibia.
Australia will be led by Mitchell Marsh in Zimbabwe, while Pat ****** mins will join the team for the South Africa leg. ****** mins and Marsh could share captaincy duties depending on ****** mins' workload. Mitchell Starc will return for the South Africa matches, while Josh Hazlewood has been selected for both series.
Australia's ODI squad:Xavier Bartlett, Alex Carey, Cooper Connolly, Pat ****** mins (SA only), Joel Davies, Nathan Ellis, Cameron Green, Josh Hazlewood, Travis Head, Josh Inglis, Spencer Johnson, Mitchell Marsh, Oliver Peake, Matthew Renshaw, Billy Stanlake, Mitchell Starc (SA only), Adam Zampa.
New South Wales all-rounder Joel Davies has received his first ODI call-up after impressing in the T20I series against Bangladesh. Left-handed batter Ollie Peake has also kept his place.
Australia have added fast bowlers Spencer Johnson and Billy Stanlake. Johnson returns after recovering from a lengthy injury, while Stanlake recently ended a more than seven-year wait for another international appearance.
Cooper Connolly will remain with the ODI squad after his impressive 149 against Bangladesh.
The Zimbabwe series starts on September 15 in Harare, followed by matches on September 18 and 20. Australia will then play South Africa on September 24, 27 and 30.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — The **** le is still sinking in for Cale Makar — highest paid player in NHL history.
With it, of course, comes great expectations for the Colorado Avalanche standout defenseman. Like more gaudy stats and deep Stanley Cup runs. Pressure becomes part of the price tag for signing a $163.2 million, eight-year extension that kicks in next season. Pressure, the two-time Norris Trophy winner **** erted, he welcomes.
"I'm a guy that just puts a lot of pressure on myself to do well year in, year out," Makar said Monday at a news conference on the heels of a deal he signed late last week that will keep him with Colorado through the 2034-35 season. "It's going to make me even push myself a little bit more."
The 27-year-old Makar took becoming the league's first player to sign for more than $20 million a season in stride. He's already predicting the figure won't stand for long. It could be Edmonton's Connor McDavid or Toronto's Auston Matthews, who are eligible for extensions next summer. Down the road, it might be Makar's teammate Nathan MacKinnon.
"I fully expect Nate to even double what this is right now," cracked Makar, who's turned in four 20-goal seasons in his career. "It's incredible to see where the game is going."

Back on Dec. 16, Nacua joined streamers Adin Ross and N3on on a live broadcast, where Ross suggested a new touchdown celebration for him. The move, leaning forward and rubbing his hands, carries deeply offensive, antisemitic connotations, as per reports. Seemingly unaware of the gesture's harmful meaning, Nacua agreed to use it in his upcoming game with the Rams.

Blackburn boss Tony Mowbray remained positive despite his side's 2-1 defeat against QPR.
The visitors came from behind to win at Ewood Park after Ryoya Morishita's spectacular strike had put Rovers ahead.
"I think there were lots of positives today," Mowbray told BBC Radio Lancashire.
"We played against a good team - I thought we managed them pretty well, to be honest - and it was a really tight game. We had spells where we were pretty dominant, and they had moments too.
"I've said to them in the dressing room: 'Lots and lots of positives today'. If we can maintain the performance from the first 60 minutes for 90 [minutes], we'll be fine.

Who's got the best high school football in the country? Texas, Florida and California have each long laid stake to that claim, but it's rare that we see good teams from those states play each other. But that's what's happening at Chaparral Stadium in Friday's much anticipated 2026 season opener between the Westlake Chaparrals and the Inglewood (Calif.) Sentinels.
Westlake is one of Texas' top programs. Inglewood is packed with FBS talent, including two defensive linemen committed to Texas A&M and Oklahoma and a defensive back who'll play at Cal. And Chaps quarterback Patton Jones is making his first start against a defense that had seven sacks in Inglewood's season opener last week.

But that's not the only big game of note tonight. While the big Lake Travis vs. Dripping Springs opener was canceled, there are still a couple of high-profile matchups that we're watching, including Weiss at Round Rock, a matchup of two of the American-Statesman's top 10 preseason power poll teams; Cedar Park and A&M Consolidated as the Timberwolves make their Class 6A debut; and Vandegrift at San Antonio Brennan, a matchup of two teams expected to win their Class 6A districts.
We're at three games tonight. Colby Gordon is covering the Weiss-Round Rock game at Dragon Stadium, Caleb Yum is at Westlake vs. Inglewood, watching all those college prospects at Chaparral Stadium, and Cory Mull is at Wrangler Stadium in Liberty Hill, where he's watching the Legacy Ranch Wranglers - Central Texas' newest high school - play their first varsity game ever at home against Manor New Tech.

INGLEWOOD, CA – Preseason often isn't a precursor of what's to come during the regular season. For the Los Angeles Chargers offense, they hope it's not.
The Chargers first-team offense was stuck in neutral for its first two offensive series of the preseason.
Next the first-team unit went three-and-out against the San Francisco 49ers last week before they were subbed out. The unit got off to an even worse start in a 20-18 preseason loss on Thursday, Aug. 28, against its stadium-mate, the Los Angeles Rams.
Quarberback Justin Herbert botched a shotgun snap facing second-and-1 on his second play of the day. It was recovered by Rams undrafted rookie safety Nick Andersen.
Perhaps most alarming, the turnover came against a Rams defense made up of reserves and players battling for roster spots. Not exactly the rousing start for new offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel, the ex-Miami Dolphins head coach who was a hot commodity during the offseason's coaching hiring cycle.

Next the first-team unit went three-and-out against the San Francisco 49ers last week before they were subbed out. The unit got off to an even worse start in a 20-18 preseason loss on Thursday, Aug. 28, against its stadium-mate, the Los Angeles Rams.
Quarberback Justin Herbert botched a shotgun snap facing second-and-1 on his second play of the day. It was recovered by Rams undrafted rookie safety Nick Andersen.
Perhaps most alarming, the turnover came against a Rams defense made up of reserves and players battling for roster spots. Not exactly the rousing start for new offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel, the ex-Miami Dolphins head coach who was a hot commodity during the offseason's coaching hiring cycle.

Aston Villa have been linked with a move for Juventus striker Jonathan David, with reports from Ekrem Konur suggesting the Italian club could accept £30.07m-£33.74m for the 26-year-old. Manchester United and ***** nal have also been mentioned, but Villa are being presented as the club currently best placed to make a move.
There is one problem with the whole argument, though. Villa's situation has changed dramatically.
Ollie Watkins is no longer the obvious, immovable centre-forward at Villa Park. Al-Hilal are pushing hard for the England international, with Sky Sports reporting that a €45m (£38.5m) offer has already been rejected and negotiations are continuing. That matters a lot.
Morgan Rogers has already left Aston Villa, while Watkins' future is increasingly uncertain after he missed the opening-day defeat by Brighton amid the Saudi interest. So Villa suddenly do need attacking reinforcements, and that makes the David story rather more interesting.

Mitchell Starc produced another devastating spell in Mackay to finish with a 10-wicket match haul as Australia crushed Bangladesh by an innings and 51 runs in the second Test, levelling the two-match series 1-1 inside two days.
Starc returned figures of 10-51, adding four wickets on Sunday to his remarkable 6-12 on the opening day. Bangladesh were bowled out for just 64 in their first innings before Australia also found batting difficult on a spicy pitch at Mackay in northern Queensland.
The victory provided a significant boost for Australia after their surprise defeat in the opening Test in Darwin.
Starc's performance also moved him to 10th on the all-time Test wicket-takers' list. The left-arm quick now has 445 wickets, overtaking South African great Dale Steyn.
It was Starc's fourth 10-wicket haul in Test cricket. Pat **** mins and Nathan Lyon also played key roles with three wickets each as Bangladesh were dismissed for 95 in their second innings.
Najmul Hossain Shanto top-scored with 31, while Mushfiqur Rahim remained unbeaten on 29. The Bangladesh captain and experienced wicketkeeper-batter received little support from the rest of the line-up, with only two other batters reaching double figures.
Australia had resumed their first innings at 165-8 and added 45 runs to their overnight total. Cameron Green and Nathan Lyon initially put on 28 for the ninth wicket before Shoriful Islam ended Green's resistance.
Shoriful produced a searing inswinging yorker that struck Green on the front pad, with the decision confirmed on review. Green departed for 67 from 105 **** , having struck 10 boundaries. It followed his breakthrough home century in the first Test at Darwin.
Shoriful finished with 7-48, the best bowling figures by a Bangladesh player in a Test away from home.
Lyon, unbeaten on 32, and Josh Hazlewood took Australia beyond 200 before Hazlewood fell for six to Taijul Islam. Australia were eventually dismissed for 210, giving them a crucial 146-run first-innings lead.
Bangladesh's second innings quickly became another Starc show.
After getting through his first over, Bangladesh lost Shadman Islam for one in Starc's next over, with Marnus Labuschagne taking the edge. Mominul Haque then shouldered arms to the following delivery, which crashed into his off stump.
Starc returned after lunch to dismiss Litton Das for another duck. The wicketkeeper-batter faced 27 **** across three innings in the series without scoring.
The Australia quick completed his 10-wicket haul shortly before tea, bowling Taijul Islam for seven with a delivery that breached the gap between bat and pad.
Starc finished with 4-39 in the second innings and narrowly missed his best Test match figures of 11-94, recorded against Sri Lanka at Galle in 2016.
Lyon completed the formalities after tea, taking the final two wickets in the first over of the session to wrap up Bangladesh's innings for 95.

Bangladesh pacer Shoriful Islam etched his name in the record books on the second day of the second Test against Australia in Mackay, becoming the first bowler from his country to claim a seven-wicket haul against Australia. He also became the first Bangladesh bowler to take seven wickets in a Test innings, with his sensational figures of 7/48 now the best-ever by a Bangladesh pacer in Tests.
Shoriful produced a sensational spell of 7/48 in 15 overs to overshadow Mitchell Starc's six-wicket haul and keep Bangladesh alive in a Test that appeared to be slipping away after they were bowled out for just 64.
The left-arm pacer also registered the best figures by a Bangladesh bowler away from home in Tests, surpassing Taijul Islam's 7/138 against Zimbabwe in Harare earlier this year.
Australia began their innings at 41/3 but recovered through a 77-run partnership between Steve Smith and Cameron Green. Smith made 42 off 74 ***** , including six fours, while Green continued the repair work with a fluent 67 off 105 ***** , hitting 10 boundaries.
Shoriful, however, kept Bangladesh in the contest with his pace, movement and bounce. He eventually reduced Australia to 148/8 before the hosts' lower order mounted another resistance.
Green and Nathan Lyon added 38 runs before Shoriful ended Green's resistance with a pinpoint yorker to complete his magnificent seven-wicket haul. Lyon then remained unbeaten on 32 off 62 ***** , including four boundaries and a six, and helped Australia reach 210.
Lyon and Josh Hazlewood added another 24 runs for the final wicket, frustrating Bangladesh before Taijul Islam dismissed Hazlewood to end the innings.
Australia's total gave them a commanding 146-run first-innings lead.
Shoriful's achievement came only one Test after Hasan Mahmud had set a new Bangladesh record against Australia with 6/55 in Darwin. Hasan's nine wickets in that match helped Bangladesh secure their first-ever Test victory in Australia.
Earlier, Australia had won the toss and opted to field, with Starc responding to Bangladesh's first-Test victory in emphatic fashion.
The left-arm quick tore through the Bangladesh batting lineup with astonishing figures of 6/12, while Pat ***** mins claimed three wickets as the visitors were dismissed for just 64. Shoriful was Bangladesh's top scorer with 14.
Bangladesh began their second innings under pressure and reached 39/3 by the end of the first session. Captain Najmul Hossain Shanto was unbeaten on 23, with Mushfiqur Rahim on four.
Starc had already taken two wickets, while ***** mins added one as Bangladesh trailed by 107 runs.
Despite Shoriful's historic spell, Australia remain firmly in control and Bangladesh face a daunting task to avoid conceding the series-levelling Test.

LEXINGTON – It took three weeks longer than expected to complete the 93rd News Journal Tennis Tournament, but once action resumed Jake Chilcote – or should we say, Mr. Tiebreaker – simply picked up where he left off.
He beat former Lexington High School teammate and 2024 champ Ethan Remy 6-1, 1-6, 10-8 for the men's singles ***** le Saturday at Lakewood Racquet Club.
Since Nicky Wong capped his four-year reign in 2022, there have been four different champions over the last four years. There was Justin Csepe in 2023, Remy in 2024 and Dylan Catanese in 2025, paving the way for Chilcote's run to the championship this summer.
No one can say he didn't earn it.
Chilcote's last three wins in the tournament were all decided by 10-point tiebreakers. He went the distance – first to 10 points by two in a decisive mini-set – to beat former champ Alex "Bones" McCann in the quarterfinals and again in the semis against 2024 finalist Cooper Remy, Ethan's younger brother.

INGLEWOOD, Calif.––Thousands of football fans traveled through an asphalt skillet and sun-baking rays to sit in SoFi Stadium air thick with the smell of polyethylene pellets and concession food, littering empty seats and staring down at a field full of men fighting for their lives.
Peter Pan lost his shadow in Wendy Darling's nursery. Peter Pan never played football. Peter Pan never had to stare down the barrel of an NFL roster cut or feel the August sun bake his last hope into the turf.
Not the marquee names. The other ones.
The marquee names are set. The stars sleep in their beds while the backups, the special teamers and the practice-squad hopefuls run themselves into the ground for 60 minutes of tape that might buy them 60 more days in a uniform.
The ones who know the difference between making the 53-man roster and making a phone call home that changes everything.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (AP) — Stetson Bennett passed for 181 yards and rushed for two TDs while leading the Rams to a 20-point halftime lead Saturday, and Los Angeles cruised to a 34-0 preseason victory over the New Orleans Saints.
Bennett went 19 of 31 while playing the entire first half for the Rams (2-0) before rookie Ty Simpson finished up.
Bennett is the Rams' presumptive backup to NFL MVP Matthew Stafford this season despite never playing in a regular-season game, but the former University of Georgia star turned in another in his history of strong preseason performances during his four seasons on the LA roster. He dived to the pylon for the Rams' first touchdown against New Orleans, and he scored again on a scramble in the second quarter while leading four substantial scoring drives.
The Saints (0-2) stirred up their own quarterback competition with Zach Wilson and Spencer Rattler playing one half apiece at SoFi Stadium, but neither prospective backup to Tyler Shough stood out during a rough overall outing for New Orleans.
Rattler moved the offense better than Wilson while facing the bottom of the Rams' defensive depth chart in the second half, but the Saints also made two goal-line turnovers, with Rattler throwing an interception that was returned for a 100-yard touchdown by safety Alex Cook.

LAKEWOOD, N.J. — It's been slim pickings this year for Yankees position player prospects for the High-A Hudson Valley Renegades and they lost three of their best ones this month, all infielders.
First, Kaeden Kent went to the Giants in a trade on Aug. 3 then two players were promoted to the Double-A Somerset Patriots, Roderick Arias on Aug. 4 and Core Jackson on Aug. 11.
That left Hudson Valley with two Yankees position player prospects ranked among their top 30 by MLB Pipeline — and one of them, Wilson Rodriguez, is done for the year with a thumb injury.
The over/under for Wednesday's AL East clash between the Yankees and the Orioles is set at 9 total runs on BetMGM. Our comprehensive BetMGM Sportsbook review provides an in-depth guide on how to use their app.
The Renegades do have Eric Genther, a left-handed hitter who switched from left field to catcher this year. Opponents are running like crazy on him, but his coaching staff is seeing steady progress.

A pair of Washington Huskies icons made their way back to Montlake this week, as Jermaine Kearse and Myles Gaskin stopped by fall camp to check out the 2026 edition of Jedd Fisch's program.
Kearse spent Tuesday morning at his old stomping grounds, looking on at the current generation of Husky pass catchers. The Lakewood, Washington native played his college ball for his hometown team from 2008-2011, where he finished his career No. 2 in program history in career receptions, receiving yards, and receiving touchdowns.
Following his illustrious college career, Kearse signed with the Seattle Seahawks as an undrafted free agent, where he played for five of his seven years in the NFL and helped bring his hometown team its first Super Bowl in franchise history.
From playing his high school ball 45 minutes south of Seattle, to becoming one of the greatest receivers to don the purple and gold, to bringing home a Super Bowl to his home state, Kearse is regarded as a local legend in the Seattle community, and rightfully so.
The following day, running back Myles Gaskin paid a visit to fall camp. The Huskies' all-time leading rusher posed for a picture with Jedd Fisch following Wednesday's practice. In his four years in Seattle, Gaskin put himself in the conversation as the greatest Husky running back of all time, rushing for over 1,000 yards in all four seasons while helping Washington make the College Football Playoff in 2016.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (AP) — Jacob Cowing returned a punt for an 83-yard touchdown, Eddy Pineiro kicked a pair of field goals and the San Francisco 49ers beat the Los Angeles Chargers 41-18 on Thursday night in a preseason game.
49ers quarterback Brock Purdy saw his first preseason action, going 4 of 6 for 29 yards in the first quarter.
Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert played the opening series in his first appearance of the preseason. He was 1 of 2, hitting Charlie Kolar with a 9-yard pass as the team went 3-and-out.
Battling for a roster spot at wide receiver, Cowing showed off his speed and agility after the Chargers went 3-and-out with three minutes left in the second quarter.
Chargers punter JK Scott kicked 52 yards to the 49ers' 17-yard line, where Cowing fielded the ball. He dashed to the left and ran in for the score, giving San Francisco a 17-3 lead.

When it comes to local rivals, the saying is "you can throw out the records."
Edgewood Coach Olajuwon Cooper and Saint John Coach Bob Dlwgosh say the size of school doesn't matter much either.
For the first time since 2018, the Heralds and Warriors will meet on the gridiron as the 2027 high football season opens up Friday night at Corlew Stadium.
Edgewood is a Division IV program, while Saint John is D-VII, but that doesn't seem to mean much to either side.
"We're just really excited about a county matchup and an old City-Series matchup," Dlwgosh said. "Yeah, they're a bigger school and they're a good football team, they're a playoff team in Division IV last year. That just reminds us we have to work really really hard and we've been preparing for this for a while and we're just doing everything we can do to make a run at it."

Edgewood Coach Olajuwon Cooper and Saint John Coach Bob Dlwgosh say the size of school doesn't matter much either.
For the first time since 2018, the Heralds and Warriors will meet on the gridiron as the 2027 high football season opens up Friday night at Corlew Stadium.
Edgewood is a Division IV program, while Saint John is D-VII, but that doesn't seem to mean much to either side.
