Opening statement
Give all the credit to Duke. They're able to get out of here with a W. Obviously, one of the things that we've really prided ourselves on over the last five years, going to year six, is more games are lost than won. Something that we try to get right from day one since we got here. And I'm not diminishing anything Duke did. I just think that we did enough things to cause us to fail. Obviously, turnover a little bit, but I think it was more the penalties and the mental errors that just caused us to self-implode a couple times on really all three phases. So that's all on me. I got to clean up the details, just simple things from the way we communicate, the way we execute in critical moments, some things that could have easily been avoided. And just a shame, I apologize.
Obviously to get a sell out here and to have a crowd the way we did, winning is addictive. For players, coaches, and fans, you get used to having success in those moments. And when it doesn't happen, you're upset, you're ***** , you're mad, you're angry. And I definitely fall into that category. My Saturday's always a lot better. I got two girls at home that love to have a fun time. And when you don't have success, it just sits with you for seven days. So the part that you got to learn is you'll learn more and more. The more you go through these moments, you just learn so much more in moments of adversity than you do in moments of success. So this is definitely an adverse moment that we got to take advantage of. I ask them to have big eyes and ears tomorrow. As coaches, we need to set the standard early on in the meetings to accept the things that we need to do better and hopefully put ourselves in a position to get back on track sooner than later.
So I don't know anything about injuries. I know TJ went out there at the end. We had a couple guys go out that came back, but he's the only one that I was told wasn't going to return to the game after he went out.
On miscommunication

That depth was crucial as Monroe held off Grosse Ile by 8 points to capture the championship trophy.

Mizzou volleyball started slowly but found its rhythm when it mattered most Thursday night, rallying past Arkansas State 15-25, 25-21, 25-23, 26-24 at the Hearnes Center.
The Tigers dropped the opening set after hitting -.034, but coach Dawn Sullivan said her team cleaned things up and came together as the match progressed.
"I thought these girls battled and came together," Sullivan said. "A lot of contributors out on the court. We didn't start the cleanest, is what I'll say. But then we were able to clean it up."
Grace O'Reilly and Sierra Dudley provided a major spark for Mizzou in the new 6-2 system. O'Reilly finished with a team-high 13 kills, while Dudley added four kills and 36 ***** ists after entering during the opening set and starting the final three.
The connection between the two was evident throughout the night, especially as O'Reilly found her offensive rhythm.

The son of British soccer star David Beckham and Spice Girls member Victoria Beckham has left some onlookers disappointed with his New York Fashion Week runway debut.
On Sept. 10, the first day of New York Fashion Week, Romeo Beckham walked in Tommy Hilfiger's Spring/Summer 2027 presentation held in the lobby of The Plaza Hotel in Midtown Manhattan.
The 24-year-old model was the last to walk the runway, claiming the most coveted slot at most fashion shows.
The closing spot is typically reserved for the collection's most important or defining outfit, often modeled by the biggest name on the runway. Still, despite his high profile, some did not believe Romeo deserved the honor.
Romeo walked the runway in a relaxed style with his hands in his pockets, his face expressionless. He modeled a light pink ****** on-up shirt with a color-block tie, a flannel, gray shorts, and brown leather loafers with black socks.

It was a welcome sight for the Sutter Union High girls volleyball team when it came into the gym following the long Labor Day weekend.
The Huskies had flip-flopped with Bear River for the top-spot in Sac-Joaquin Section Division V and lead the Bruins by .13 one-hundredths of a ratings point entering Thursday's MaxPreps rankings drop. Computerized rankings help fill out at-large berths and final playoff positioning for all 16-team brackets in October, according to SJS playoff criteria.
No. 1 Sutter entered the week with the first of its two home Golden Empire League matches Tuesday night against El Camino, a rather routine straight-set (25-14, 25-9, 25-14) sweep for Sutter to move to 1-0 in league and 18-5 overall.
Kenzy Shannon led with 10 kills while middle blocker Taylor Palmer produced nine off the hands of senior setter Kalena DeLaCerna, who collected a team-high 17 **** ists.
Sutter ended the week late Wednesday with a home match against league foe Natomas. Results will be published on Friday.

Lone Peak's girls soccer team churned out a dream 40 minutes in the second half at American Fork on Thursday.
In a showdown between the No. 2 and 3 teams in 6A, the Knights ripped off six goals in the second half as they ran away with the 6-0 victory in their most complete performance of the season.
The win ran Lone Peak's winning streak to eight straight, and coach Shantel Jolley said it was nice to see her team finish off a game in regulation after its three previous wins all went into overtime, and two ultimately into penalties.
"The last three games we've had tight games, double overtime, and so we kind of wanted to finally get one where we weren't going into overtime and playing 100 minutes, so that was kind of my challenge to them today," Jolley said.
Even though breakthrough didn't come until the second half, Lone Peak's attack was dangerous from the get-go as it put American Fork's defense under pressure early in the match.

Current WTA World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka did not need any more incentive to play well in the 2026 US Open semifinals. She is losing her ranking next week to Elena Rybakina and chasing a three-peat at this year's US Open.
Jessica Pegula seemed a bit off her game, despite going toe-to-toe with Sabalenka in the first set. Her demeanor was a bit flat, perhaps this was her game face. Little separated the two in the first set, but Sabalenka the excellent front runner ran away with it in the second set.

Two big trees in Addie Reed's backyard are connected by a soccer net that her dad, Jon, put up.
It was a tradition to play a family pickup game together after dinner, Reed said.
Maya Bourque has fond memories of going to the soccer field with her dad, Steve, and older sister, Sophie, to get some practice in.
"Sophie would be able to practice her crosses and whatnot and my dad would practice easy control of the ball and traps with me," Bourque said.
Bourque and Reed's last names are prominent within the Sunapee High School soccer programs. The lifelong friends and senior center backs for the Lakers girls team are adding to their family legacies.

An illegal immigrant from El Salvador was returned to his home country this week after the Department of Homeland Security took him into custody in sanctuary Fairfax County, Virginia, where he had just served an abbreviated jail sentence, and deported him.
The case is the latest in a string of controversies involving illegal immigrants plaguing the Democrat-led county adjacent to Washington, D.C., where sanctuary policies run up against the Trump administration's heavy-handed approach to removing people who do not belong in the U.S.
"This groper is gone," an ICE spokesperson told Fox News Digital.

Rachael Foster was 17 when she landed one of her first catalog jobs modeling for dELiA*s
After discovering the brand had returned at Target, she went to see how the new collection compared with the dELiA*s she remembered
Foster still has around 30 original catalogs, along with containers of keepsakes her mom saved from her decades-long modeling career
Rachael Foster was scrolling through TikTok when a logo she knew better than most appeared on her screen: dELiA*s, the brand she had modeled for as a teenager nearly 30 years earlier. After learning it had returned at Target, Foster knew looking at the collection online wasn't going to be enough.
"Then actually going to Target and standing there next to dELiA*s again was surreal," Foster tells PEOPLE exclusively. "It immediately took me back to being 17, being on those sets with the other girls, the music playing and all of us just having fun."

The ads include former Spice Girls members Emma Bunton, or "Baby Spice," and Geri Halliwell-Horner, or "Ginger Spice." They discuss their time with the band in an interview, when they reveal a previously unknown sixth Spice Girl, "Pumpkin Spice," portrayed by Dratch.
They ultimately said she was "too seasonal" for the band and Dratch notes she "left to focus on lattes."

HOPATCONG — Before Hopatcong's season opener, Alexa McLean said all the same things to the soccer players as most other coaches would. She just said them in a slightly higher register, occasionally referring to one or another of the boys as "honey." McLean called out her starters' names with a lilt belying her Ecuadoran American roots.
During the match, McLean strolled the sideline with her phone on a sparkly cross-body strap bouncing off her hip, a green dry-erase board printed with soccer lines and a white marker in her right hand. She gave a continuous flow of suggestions and encouragement, mostly in English. But occasionally, McLean switched to her native Spanish.
A Spanish and English as a Second Language teacher at Hopatcong, McLean was an ****** istant with the boys soccer team two years ago. Last fall, she helped the soccer team at the Academy of St. Elizabeth – an all-girls school in Morris Township – to a 1-15 record in her first high school head coaching job.
But the commute was too much. When the Hopatcong boys' job opened up, it seemed a natural fit.
"I wasn't sure how I was going to be accepted by the boys," said McLean, 52, who didn't start coaching in high school until her four kids had all graduated. "I haven't had an issue. I took a little (while) for them to get used to me and me to get used to them, but it's working out."

Regan Hutsell was crowned Miss America on Sept. 6
Speaking with PEOPLE, the new queen shares that she hopes to inspire other women to pursue their dreams and promote diversity on a national stage
Hutsell also shares what legacy she wants her reign to leave as she steps into the next year of responsibilities
Miss America 2027 Regan Hutsell hopes her recent win will inspire young girls across the nation.

Hutsell was crowned on Sept. 6, making her the first Miss America to wear her natural hair while being crowned. Last week, just days before she was crowned the 99th Miss America, the then-Miss Texas **** leholder told PEOPLE about a question she had been asked during preliminary competition rounds about wearing her natural hair as a pageant contestant.

"When I first started [competing], I didn't know what I was going to do with my hair," said Hutsell. "I didn't know if I was going to straighten it, I didn't know if I was going to wear it natural. I had straightened my hair a few years ago, and it didn't bounce back. And coming to this point in my life where I decided, no, I'm going to wear it curly; I'm going to wear it as is.
Wearing her natural hair while competing throughout her pageant career had helped Hutsell redefine what beauty meant for her.

Pamela Anderson opted for a wild pair of animal-printed pumps while in attendance at the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement Award ceremony held during the 83rd Venice International Film Festival today in Venice. The ceremony was held to honor actress Ellen Burstyn, best known for her work in "Requiem for a Dream," "The Exorcist" and "Flowers in the Attic."

Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's divorce included reports of inappropriate flirting, growing jealousy and their two daughters, Sunday Rose, 18, and Faith Margaret, 15, picking sides. Nine months after finalizing their split, however, a source says the exes have become cordial.
"Things have gotten so much better," the source confirms to the National Enquirer. "They're actually speaking again — and he's now suggesting that they should do Christmas as a family in Australia."
As Enquirer previously revealed, the Practical Magic 2 actress, 59, spent the 2025 holiday season in Australia with the pair's girls following her September divorce filing. She'd cited "irreconcilable differences" as the reason her 19-year marriage to the country singer, 58, ended.
"It was the first time they didn't celebrate Christmas as a family," reveals the source. "For obvious reasons, the last person Nicole wanted to see was Keith."
