GREENSBORO, N.C. — After a blowout win on Wednesday night, Hub City could not follow up against Greensboro on Thursday. The Grasshoppers (75-48, 34-23) attacked the Spartanburgers (56-67, 22-35) early en route to an 11-4 win.
Greensboro turned to lefty Reinold Navarro on the mound against Hub City's Jormy Nivar, making his High-A debut. Both starters faced the minimum in the first before finding trouble in the second.
Maxton Martin reached to kick off the frame on a dropped third strike. Quincy Scott immediately capitalized with a two-run homer the opposite way. Navarro worked around two walks later in the inning to limit the damage to two. The Grasshoppers immediately tied the game again on back-to-back home runs from Jared Jones and Tony Blanco Jr. to lead off the bottom of the second. Blanco was batting out of order when he slugged the second home run, but it came without appeal from the Spartanburgers. Jhonny Severino then struck out, a spot later than **** igned.
After a scoreless top of the third, Greensboro took its first lead. A single and hit batter started the inning. After two outs from Nivar (L, 0-1), Jones walked to load the bases. Severino came to the plate in the correct order and lined in two runs with a single to center field. Blanco followed suit with an RBI single to make it 5-2 Grasshoppers. Anthony Susac relieved Nivar and provided the final out of the third.
Hub City forced Greensboro to its 'pen with the bases full and one out in the fourth. Cesar Aquino entered and rolled a fielder's choice off the bat of Evan Morrison to bring in a run. Gleider Figuereo added another tally with an RBI single to make it 5-4.

The 2026 college football season begins this Saturday with an eight-game Week Zero. That leaves just under two weeks before most programs kick off their seasons. Several teams and their head coaches named their starting quarterbacks on Monday in preparation for Week 1.
Alabama named Keelon Russell its starter on Saturday, while other prominent QB competitions at Clemson, West Virginia, Vanderbilt and Iowa still haven't been decided — at least publicly.
Here are several of the QBs who have been named starters for the season.
The Volunteers are making true freshman Faizon Brandon their starting QB. Head coach Josh Heupel told the team of his decision on Monday morning and officially announced Brandon as the starter in an afternoon press conference.
Brandon, 6-foot-4, beat out sophomore George MacIntyre for the position, clinching the decision with his performance in a scrimmage on Saturday, according to On3. A five-star recruit, Rivals ranked Brandon as the No. 3 QB nationally and No. 10 player overall out of Grimsley High School in Greensboro, North Carolina.

It's been busy in Chapel Hill this past week as students have been moving in on and off campus, and the First Day of Class is set for tomorrow. It looks like those classes will include a native of Mali who Michael Malone has high hopes for in terms of much-needed front court depth.
On Saturday, Inside Carolina's Sherrell McMillan had the major scoop that Sayon Keita had obtained his visa to come to the United States, and with that he should be on the ground in time to attend classes this week. That means he should be eligible to play when the 2026-27 basketball season tips off.
It will be interesting to see just how quickly Keita can get up to speed, as the rest of the the first team ***** embled by Malone — sans Cameron Fens — have been able to have informal practices together, allowing them to start to learn how to play together. Keita will be behind in that aspect, and fans will undoubtedly remember how much another late arrival in Luka Bogavac struggled. That Keita plays a different position and is younger might actually help him adjust quicker.
The news means that Malone will now have depth — albeit untested at a high-major college level — in the front court which was considered the major hole of the first ***** embled team. Another international transfer, Alex Samodurov, should also see minutes along with Fens — presuming Fens' ability to play isn't wiped out on appeal to higher courts.
With classes starting and the first public game for the Tar Heels less than two months away, the pressure will be on for Malone's inaugural Tar Heel squad to gel quickly and cohesively. The team is already staring at an announced non-conference schedule of Georgia, Marshall, West Virginia, Arkansas, Butler, Georgetown, Kentucky, and Illinois. Rumors are also out that another major non-conference game will be announced this week, also to be played in Greensboro.

Just days after the completion of this year's Wyndham Championship in Greensboro, North Carolina, the Tour announced on Wednesday that Raymond James, a wealth management company based in St. Petersburg, Florida, will take over as the ******* le sponsor of the event beginning in 2027, and the tournament will be contested as part of the PGA Tour Championship Series beginning in 2028 as part of a multi-year agreement.
As one of the longest-running stops on Tour, the Greensboro-area event has been a mainstay on the schedule since its inception in 1938. In a nod to its original name, GO by Raymond James will be contested at Sedgefield Country Club from Aug. 2-8, 2027, as a full-field event.
"The PGA Tour's Greensboro event has one of the richest histories in men's professional golf, and we are proud to continue building on its longstanding legacy and local charitable impact with the support of our new partners at Raymond James," said Dhruv Prasad, PGA Tour chief commercial officer in a statement. "Greensboro has supported the PGA Tour for nearly nine decades, and we are excited to launch this new chapter by bringing the best players in the world to the Piedmont Triad region."
"GO by Raymond James represents an important investment in the future of our firm and the PGA Tour and reflects our confidence in the new leadership and vision of the Tour along with the strength of the leaders of the Piedmont Triad Charitable Foundation," said Raymond James CEO Paul Shoukry. "This partnership gives us a powerful platform to introduce more people to the breadth of our capabilities and the relationship-driven, values-based approach that has long distinguished Raymond James.

Add the PGA Tour's Greensboro, North Carolina, stop to the growing list of Championship Series events that will be the core of the circuit's schedule beginning in 2028.

GREENSBORO, N.C. (AP) — Michael Brennan made five straight birdies to pull away from Beau Hossler and close with a 6-under 64 to win the Wyndham Championship and reach the PGA Tour's lucrative postseason.
Brennan came into the final tournament of the regular season at No. 105 in the FedEx Cup. Now his season gets extended by at least one week after his second PGA Tour ***** le in two years. The FedEx Cup playoffs start Thursday with the FedEx St. Jude Championship at the TPC Southwind in Memphis, Tennessee. Only the top 70 players advance, and Brennan shot up to No. 47.
Jackson Koivun, who left Auburn in June and won the 3M Open in only his third start, narrowly hung on to the 70th spot and goes from college to the postseason in only two months.
Brennan made birdie on the final hole to finish at 22-under 258, matching the tournament record at Sedgefield shot three other times, most recently last year by Wake Forest grad Cameron Young.
Ben James, the No. 1 player from the PGA Tour University ranking who has a card already secure for 2027, fell out of contention on Saturday but roared back with a 61 to finish third.

GREENSBORO, N.C. — Michael Brennan had another Sunday opportunity and delivered in a big way. He made five straight birdies to pull away from Beau Hossler and close with a 6-under 64 to win the Wyndham Championship and reach the PGA Tour's lucrative postseason.
Brennan came into the final tournament of the regular season at No. 105 in the FedEx Cup, a disappointing year with only one top 10. Now his season gets extended by at least one week — maybe longer based on how he's playing — after his second PGA Tour ***** le in two years.
Brennan was one shot behind Hossler when he ran off five straight birdies starting on the fourth hole, all of them inside 8 feet. That turned a deficit into a three-shot lead at the turn when Hossler took a bogey on the ninth hole.
Then it was a matter of hanging on for the 24-year-old Brennan, a Virginia native who played his college golf about 30 miles away at Wake Forest.
"I don't want to be done playing golf," Brennan said. "Unfortunately, I've had a couple of tough Sundays. Outside of that, I had been playing really solid. This is my sixth week in a row. I'm perfectly happy running on fumes next week."

Michael Brennan fired a six-under par 64 to win the Wyndham Championship on Sunday, taking his second PGA Tour **** le in the final regular-season event before the FedEx Cup playoffs.
The 24-year-old American closed with a 13-foot birdie putt at the 18th hole to finish on 22-under 258 and defeat compatriot Beau Hossler by three strokes.
Brennan, whose other PGA **** le came last October at the Bank of Utah Championship on a sponsor's exemption, took home $1.53 million from the $8.5 million purse on offer at Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro, North Carolina.
Brennan reeled off five birdies in a row Sunday to seize command, a run that began with an eight-foot birdie putt at the fourth hole and included a birdie at the par-three seventh where he missed an ace by six inches.
He made bogey at 11 after a tee shot into the right rough but sank a testy five-foot par putt at the par-three 12th and answered with an eight-foot birdie putt at 13.

GREENSBORO, NC — Keegan Bradley's final round Sunday at the Wyndham Championship was reflective of his 2026 season: A little good. A little bad. A little inconsistent.
A bogey on the 18th was the final nail in the coffin of Bradley's FedEx Cup Playoff hopes, as he'll fall just a couple spots outside the top 70 to qualify for the FedEx St. Jude Championship next week in Memphis, Tennessee.
Six birdies Sunday were overshadowed by two bogeys and a double bogey as he finished with a 2-under 68 to finish at 6 under for the tournament. It followed Saturday's 1-under round that featured five birdies but four back-nine bogeys. He's projected to finish 74th in the final regular season standings.
"I played really well today and yesterday," Bradley said. "Just, I shot a couple under. Needed to shoot a lot lower obviously."
Bradley snaps a streak of 15 straight playoff appearances, which was second behind Jason Day's 18. Day, too, will miss the FedEx Cup Playoffs after missing the cut Friday.

The Wyndham Championship marks the end of the regular season leading into the FedEx Cup Playoffs, and for two players, the tournament holds tremendous weight.
Recently turned professional and college phenom Jackson Kouvin needs to finish 30th or better this week to qualify for his first FedEx Cup Playoff series. Kouvin turned professional following the NCAA Championship and U.S. Open. His Auburn Tigers won the national ******* le at Omni La Costa.
Kouvin missed the cut at the John Deere Classic but has since shown fortitude and an incredible golf game, winning the 3M Open and placing T-10 at the ISCO Championship and T-31 at the Rocket Mortgage Classic.
In an interview with Yahoo Sports, Kouvin discussed the pressure of being on the playoff bubble: "Yeah, I mean, I'll just try not to think about it too much. At the end of the day, it's an uncontrollable, and if I go play well, I can hopefully be inside of that top 70."

GREENSBORO, N.C. — Beau Hossler handled a half-dozen tough par putts and two rain delays Saturday for a 4-under 66 that gave him a share of the lead with Michael Brennan going into the final round of the Wyndham Championship with postseason berths at stake.
Hossler is No. 122 in the FedExCup, knowing his only mathematical chance to be among the top 70 to advance to playoffs is to win for the first time on the PGA Tour.
Brennan, who went from the PGA Tour Americas to a PGA Tour card by winning the Bank of Utah Championship last fall, made a birdie putt from 15 feet on the last hole for a 63.
They were at 16-under 194, one shot ahead of Scottish Open winner Tom Kim (63), and two shots clear of 44-year-old Alex Noren and Alex Smalley, who each shot 65.
Such is the nature of the final regular-season tournament — and the stakes — that nine of the top 10 players on the leaderboard shot 66 or lower on Saturday.

GREENSBORO, NC — Just one round remains to decide the FedEx Cup playoff bubble.
Saturday's moving day provided some big shifts like co-leaders Beau Hossler and Michael Brennan jumping 68 and 58 spots, respectively, from where they started the week ahead of the Wyndham Championship.
Others fell back behind the bubble Saturday following their rounds. Only the top 70 in the season-long FedEx Cup playoff standings will advance next week to Memphis, the first of three tournaments to decide the FedEx Cup champion.
Players like Jackson Koivun (4 under 66) did themselves a favor Saturday along the bubble. Others like Keegan Bradley (1 under 69) didn't move the needle enough in the third round to change their positions in the PGA Tour's projected standings.
Here's a look at the FedEx Cup Playoffs bubble after Saturday's third round in Greensboro.

GREENSBORO, NC — Davis Thompson vaulted up the Wyndham Championship leaderboard Saturday with a 5-under 65 and put himself just outside the FedEx Playoff bubble.
But it was an albatross on the fifth hole and a broken driver on the 14th that defined his moving day at Sedgefield Country Club.
After four pars to open his round, Thompson hit an 8-iron 186-yards into the par-5 fifth that rolled onto the back of the green, took an adventurous ride on the Donald Ross green and found the cup for a 2.
"Kind of got off to a slow start and then, you know, making an albatross usually helps get things going," Thompson said.
It was the second double eagle of Thompson's career, he claims, the other coming on the 16th at Bay Hill during a Palmer Cup event while at the University of Georgia. He has never recorded a hole-in-one on the PGA Tour, but said he wouldn't trade one for an albatross.

There's a lot on the line, aside from the $8.5 million purse, at the Wyndham Championship in Greensboro, North Carolina, this week.
Players in the field have their final chance to climb the FedExCup standings, in hopes of making it into the top 70 to compete in the playoffs.
For Cameron Young, it's also a welcome return to Sedgefield Country Club where he earned his first victory on Tour. He's in the field looking for a repeat and an opportunity to knock Matt Fitzpatrick out of his number two spot in the FedExCup rankings.
Jackson Koivun is looking to add another win in his brief career or at least a very good finish to help qualify for the FedExCup Playoffs.
Golf Channel and Golf Channel mobile will be broadcasting and streaming Round 2 coverage of the Wyndham Championship from 3-6 p.m. ET on Friday.

While it's hard to believe that the PGA Tour's regular-season finale is upon us at the Wyndham Championship, there's still plenty to play for in Greensboro, North Carolina.
The tournament at Sedgefield Country Club marks the last chance for players to qualify for the FedExCup Playoffs, where the top 70 players will compete for the overall crown.
Cameron Young is back at Wyndham to defend his ****** le and said he hopes to make a final push in the FEC standings as well. The Player of the Year candidate is the favorite to repeat this week and take home his third victory on the PGA Tour this year.
The 147-player field also includes rookie Jackson Koivun, fresh off his win at the 3M Open, Ryan Gerard, Alex Fitzpatrick and Hideki Matsuyama, all competing for a piece of the $8.5 million purse.

With their lower value trade chips gone on deadline day, the Mets moved on to trading players with more significant value. The Pirates were the eventual landing spot for the first of these deals, landing Luke Weaver— along with some coverage of his contract—for infield prospect Sammy Stafura.
Stafura was drafted in the second round of the 2023 draft by the Reds out of Walter Panas High School. Two years later, he was traded to Pittsburgh as part of a deadline deal for Ke'Bryan Hayes. Stafura is actually a lifelong Mets fan from Westchester, the second local product (after Gary Gill Hill, acquired from the Rays in the Freddy Peralta trade) acquired by the Mets at this deadline. It is always cool when you can bring in players who are enthusiastic about the organization.
As for the on-field player, Stafura is your classic toolsy middle infielder; he has plus speed, is a decent shortstop defender, and has plus potential raw power. His on field performance prior to June of 2026 could best be described as "good, but not great". Then he hit 16 homers in his last 22 games at High-A Greensboro. That's something that should certainly grab your attention.
With the upside that performance portends comes serious hit tool questions. Stafura is striking out almost 30% of the time in High-A, is running a 71% Z-contact, and has a clear propensity to chase. This all portends to serious hit tool and/or pitch recognition issues, flaws that could be crippling as he moves up the minor league ladder. This weakness will likely him keep him at the back-end or just off offseason top-100 lists (a distinction that is largely meaningless from those that sneak on to the back of the list).
Sometimes guys with big tools and serious hit tool questions have a huge month with no root cause beyond statistical noise. Sometimes it's the product of actual changes that are real and sustainable. Parsing whether Stafura's recent surge – which pushed his OPS at High-A from the high 500s into the 1.000+ range – is the former or the latter is nigh impossible for us on the public side. **** , it's not even all that easy for team-side **** ysts to figure out. What this does serve to illustrate is the high risk, high reward nature of this profile.

When Florida State was preparing for the 2025 season, defensive tackle Kevin Wynn was looked at as one of the top incoming freshmen and a player who could have an immediate impact. Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned for the former four-star prospect.
Wynn suffered an injury late in fall camp that held him out of FSU's win against the Alabama Crimson Tide in the season opener. He ended up playing in just four games last season and recorded one tackle. Now, Wynn is healthy, and he's also about 30 pounds lighter at 317.
According to defensive line coach Terrance Knighton, Wynn has made the most of his opportunities during the summer. He feels that Wynn has taken more strides than anyone.
"Juju, I think, had the biggest jump this summer. He's lost 40 pounds," Knighton said via Warchant. "He's moving well, which is helping his body with the day-to-day. Now, he's able to, like I said, focus on football. He's in great shape, and he's ready to show he can be an every-down player."
Wynn was an absolute force during his high school days at Greene County High School in Greensboro, Georgia. He racked up 84 tackles for loss and 14 sacks (seven as a senior). He displayed an incredible burst and great power, which is why he lived behind the line of scrimmage and became a top 100 recruit.

The New Mexico Goatheads added to their blue line on Tuesday.
The Colorado Avalanche’s ECHL affiliate announced the signing of defenseman Trevor Zins for its inaugural season, which begins Oct. 16 at the Rio Rancho Events Center.
Zins is the second player the Goatheads have signed. The first-year franchise announced the addition of forward Grant Ahcan on Friday. Zins was a teammate of Ahcan’s older brother, Jack, during the 2019-20 season at St. Cloud State in Minnesota.
Zins spent two seasons at St. Cloud State — including as a member of the program’s national runner-up team in 2021 — but did not appear in any games, before finishing his college career at St. Thomas (Minnesota).
This will be the 27-year-old’s fourth professional season after stops with the Indy Fuel, Idaho Steelheads and Greensboro Gargoyles. He spent time with all three teams last season, recording two goals and 15 ****** ists in 65 regular-season games.

BUIES CREEK — Campbell will travel to Durham on Tuesday, Dec. 15 to take on Duke — just a few months before the 35th anniversary of the teams facing off in the 1992 NCAA tournament.
The meeting will be the fourth overall between the Camels and Blue Devils on the hardwood and the first since Nov. 13, 2021, when No. 9 Duke held off an upset-minded Campbell squad 67-56.
Campbell’s contest at Duke will mark the seventh-consecutive season that Campbell has faced an Atlantic Coast Conference opponent. CU traveled to NC State in the ‘20-21 and ‘22-23 campaigns, played at Duke in ‘21-22, at Virginia Tech in ‘23-24, at North Carolina in ‘24-25, and last season traveled to Wake Forest.
The Blue Devils defeated the Camels 82-56 on Mar. 19, 1992 in the NCAA tournament first round at the Greensboro Coliseum on the way to a second-straight national ****** le. Christian Laettner led Duke with 22 points, while Mark Mocnik scored a game-high 29, including 7-of-13 threes, for the Camels. That 1992 Duke team included eight future NBA draft picks, including first round choices Laettner (‘92), Bobby Hurley (‘93), Grant Hill (‘94) and Cherokee Parks (‘95).
On Jan. 13, 1997, Duke defeated the Camels 84-59 at Durham. Jim Fitzpatrick (19) and Corey Best (14) hit double figures for the Camels, while Greg Newton led Duke with 14. The ‘96-97 Duke roster included Chris Carrawell, Steve Wojciechoski, Jeff Capel and Nate James.

It had been a long day. Some teams were using all of their allotted time, even in the later rounds to make their draft decisions. Then came Carolina, and time had expired while the world waited for them to make pick number 192 in the Draft.
What happened?
Eric Tulsky and company smacked everyone in the face with another shocking trade announcement. The Hurricanes traded their final pick, along with Kyle Masters, (leant to Greensboro last season), to Anaheim for the rights to John Carlson. Yes, that John Carlson.
Carlson will be a Free Agent come July 1st, so the Canes have three days to sign the defenseman. It won’t be easy.
While the blueliner is a bit long in the tooth at 36 years old, he had 14 goals and 60 points last season in 71 games playing for both the Capitals and the Ducks. He averaged playing over 23 minutes a game and he is going to be highly sought after if he makes it to free agency.

As Norway excels in its first World Cup appearance since 1998, a wave of false claims about the team's eating habits is also capturing online attention. These allegations specifically target the quality of American food, suggesting the Norwegians distrust it to such an extent that they brought provisions from home to avoid local fare.
The Norwegian team is currently based in Greensboro, North Carolina, throughout the 2026 tournament, which the U.S. is co-hosting with Canada and Mexico. While it is true the team shipped certain products from Norway for the World Cup, the underlying reason has absolutely nothing to do with concerns about food quality.
CLAIM: The Norwegian men's national soccer team brought its own food to the 2026 World Cup because it doesn't trust the quality of food in the U.S.
THE FACTS: This is false. The team brought some products from Norway to maintain consistency in players' diets and provide a taste of home, according to its head chef Aron Espeland. Other ingredients have been sourced locally. Nutrition experts say that such a practice is common among elite athletes who play internationally.
“When athletes are competing at the highest level, consistency is important,” Espeland said. “The players are used to certain products and flavors, and familiar foods can contribute both to nutrition and overall well-being during a demanding competition.”
