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.

LeBron James has added a new venture to his growing list of off-the-court interests: a YouTube channel dedicated to golf.
James, the 41-year-old who recently signed with the Philadelphia 76ers, released his first vlog-style video Aug. 15. The 96-minute video features James and several members of the Cleveland Cavaliers' 2016 championship team during a golf trip to Scotland in June.
Former Cavaliers Tristan Thompson, Kevin Love, J.R. Smith, Channing Frye and Richard Jefferson joined James at Cabot Highlands Resort's Castle Stuart Links. Matthew Dellavedova and Iman Shumpert also attended the reunion but were not featured in the video.
The group played in a 3-on-3 format while laughing and reminiscing about the Cavaliers' championship run. The 2016 team overcame a 3-1 deficit against the Golden State Warriors to win the NBA championship.

LeBron James may still be really good at basketball, but the 41-year-old has a well-documented affinity for golf.
The newest Philadelphia 76er has committed to the sport in his leisure time away from hoops. So much that he's now dropped a YouTube channel dedicated to the craft of his hobby.
He released his first vlog-style video on Aug. 15 featuring himself and former teammates from the Cleveland Cavaliers' 2016 championship team as they gathered to celebrate their 10-year reunion at Cabot Highlands Resort's Castle Stuart Links in Scotland.
James' 96-minute video is a day-in-the-life vlog that includes banter amongst former teammates, friendly competition and memorable moments captured on camera. Former teammates who appeared at the golf retreat included Tristan Thompson, Kevin Love, J.R. Smith, Channing Frye and Richard Jefferson.
Together they laughed and reminisced on their ******* le run while enjoying wine. The group played in a 3-on-3 team setting.

Just when you thought YouTube Golf couldn't get more popular, one of the most famous people in the world arrives on the scene.
LeBron James has launched a YouTube channel dedicated to golf. His first video was released Saturday morning, featuring James and his former teammates from the Cleveland Cavaliers 2016 championship team celebrating a 10-year reunion with a round of golf at Cabot Highlands Resort's Castle Stuart Links in Scotland, which is ranked No. 55 among Golfweek's Top 100 International Courses.
The 90-minute video features most of the memorable characters from that Cavs squad, including Kevin Love, Tristan Thompson, Richard Jefferson, Channing Frye and J.R. Smith, who is actually quite the stick (you might remember that he went back to college and played golf at North Carolina A&T after retiring from the NBA). Apparently Kyrie Irving couldn't make it, though.
The group plays a 3-on-3 match that gets a little heated at times, with James, Love and Jefferson teaming up against Thompson, Frye and Smith. I won't spoil who wins, but let's just say there weren't a ton of darts thrown or birdies made between the six of them. But it sure seemed like they were having a great time, and hey, that's all that really matters.
Earlier this week, a reporter at the FedEx St. Jude Championship posed a hypothetical to reigning Masters champ and world No. 2 Rory McIlroy: If he could offer a golf lesson to any one celebrity, who would he choose?

Brad Pitt, 62, has an eye-watering $130 million real estate portfolio spanning continents, including a Santa Barbara retreat and a cliff top property in Carmel Highlands. One of his most recent purchases is a $12 million mansion in Los Angeles with air-tight security features. The award-winning actor recently allowed a journalist from Esquire access into the heavily protected home, and then it was revealed how little time he really spends there…
The article explained that since Brad acquired the home in September of 2025, he has only managed to spend three odd weeks inside. Despite not frequenting the residence regularly, he seemed taken by the incredible features, particularly the view across the iconic city. He even spoke highly of it on a cloudy day. "June gloom. I love June gloom. It's just so much more contemplative and introspective," he said.

Brad purchased this house after his nearby $5.5 million home in Los Feliz was sadly ransacked by thieves, so this made security a keen focus for the star. The new property features a secure entryway, privacy with landscaping and a high-tech alarm system. The six-bed residence also features a scenic pool, a marble-clad bathroom and a recording studio due to the previous owner being The Killers' guitarist, Dave Keuning.

Balmoral has been the family's summer getaway since the reign of Queen Victoria
One of the royal family's favorite residences has closed to the public, hinting at the start of a summer tradition.
On Sunday, Aug. 9, Balmoral Castle in Scotland shared its official notice of closure for the season on social media.

Christopher Lambert canceled his planned return to Steel City Con after collapsing while meeting fans at the Pennsylvania convention one day earlier.
The 69-year-old Highlander star became ill while signing autographs at the Monroeville Convention Center outside Pittsburgh on August 8. A witness told TMZ that Lambert suddenly collapsed before he was transported from the convention by ambulance.
His representative later said Lambert was "perfectly OK" and resting at his hotel, attributing the episode to low blood sugar after the actor had slept poorly and eaten very little. Steel City Con separately said he had become overheated and dehydrated.
Organizers initially announced that Lambert would return on August 9 for photo opportunities and a panel. That plan changed shortly before his scheduled arrival, when the convention said he was still not feeling well and needed additional rest.
Lambert was signing autographs during the second day of Steel City Con when he became ill. According to TMZ, a witness said the actor suddenly collapsed and was then taken from the convention hall by ambulance.

King Charles has headed to Scotland to start his summer break, and he was recently in Caithness in the Scottish Highlands. During his time there, he stayed at the Castle of Mey, as he traditionally does in late July and early August.
On this occasion, the King made a new addition to the home, planting the King's Rose in the gardens, which were previously cultivated by his late grandmother, the Queen Mother. Charles was pictured in the Walled Garden at the castle, which is located by the Pink Arbor.
In images from the King's Foundation, Charles was seen in a tweed jacket and kilt, while he carried a walking stick that he often employs when on the uneven ground of Scotland. He was seen standing by a vase that carried the King's Rose, which was bred by David Austin Roses and named in Charles' honour.
The semi-double, repeat-flowering shrub boasts delicately papery petals with distinct stripes in shades of fuchsia pink and white.
The King has now added the rose to the gardens (PA)

Aug. 2—Brad Chandler has earned a few headlines in recent weeks as the new athletic director at Wright State.
Twenty-two years ago, the Livingston County Daily Press and Argus in Howell, Michigan, gave him attention for a different reason.
"Howell's scouting report had every indication that Novi's Brad Chandler was a good player," sports writer Andy Karl wrote in February 2004, "but the Highlanders didn't know about his shooting ability until Friday night.
"'He is one of the better guards in the league, and he was always in our scouting reports that he could drive well," Howell senior Eddie Chodkowski said. "He never showed that he can shoot in the games that we watched.' "
"Chandler sunk five 3-pointers en route to a 21-point effort, as Novi edged Howell in the closing seconds, 42-39."

The PGA Tour has begun revealing which tournaments will become Championship Series events in 2028 when a new two-track model is implemented.
First up for the PGA Tour's top-tier Championship Series is the Travelers Championship, which has been played annually at TPC River Highlands just outside Hartford, Connecticut, each June, typically the week after the U.S. Open. Since 2023, the Travelers has been one of eight $20 million signature events on the PGA Tour. The announcement was made on Monday.
In 2028, the PGA Tour Championship Series will comprise roughly 15 regular-season events, in addition to the four major championships, Players Championship, and playoff events. Purses for the PGA Tour-operated events (the non-majors) will be at least $20 million, with some tournaments like the Players and a revamped Tour Championship offering even more prize money. The second-tier Challenger Series will comprise at least 20 events, each offering much lower purses of at least $4 million. Both series will run from approximately February to August, and will include annual promotion and relegation between the circuits.
"Right now we have 47 events at the PGA Tour—we'll have 47 events going forward," PGA Tour CEO Brian Rolapp said when he unveiled the plans for the new scheduling model in June. "That current model serves roughly 230 players. We'll serve that amount of players, the same. We are just organized now in a more simple understanding competitively so our fans can understand it, our partners know what they're getting as far as value. So we think we've just organized the same tour into a much more interesting and competitive system."
The second confirmed Championship Series event will be sponsored by Sompo, a ***** anese insurance and financial services firm, the PGA Tour announced on Tuesday. The event's market has yet to be determined, though. In 2027, Sompo will back a full-field (non-signature) PGA Tour event at Silverado Resort's North Course in Napa, California, July 29 to Aug. 1—effectively replacing the Rocket Classic in Detroit, which is leaving the PGA Tour schedule after this season. In 2028, the Sompo event will relocate to a new market as part of the transition to the Championship Series.

Former Nebraska football defensive lineman Elijah Jeudy announced he would be taking a coaching position with Highland Community College. He will serve as the defensive line coach.
Jeudy played at Nebraska from 2023-2025. He came to Lincoln after transferring from Texas A&M. The defender was a reliable piece for the Huskers' defense, as he recorded 39 tackles, a sack, a forced fumble, and a blocked kick in 36 games. He had 18 total tackles, 1.5 tackles for loss, and one forced fumble in 12 starts in 2025.
He also achieved academic milestones during his time in Lincoln. He was named to the All-Big Ten academic team on multiple occasions.
Jeudy was a staple of the defensive line on the field and a hard worker off of it as well. He truly embraced life in Lincoln in every possible way. Now, he will take the next step in his career.

The New Mexico Highlands football team was picked to finish sixth in the 10-team Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference preseason coaches poll, released Wednesday.
The Cowboys, who went 6-5 last year and 4-5 in RMAC games, had two players — linebackers Dawson Chapman and Dontaivious Nelson — selected to the preseason All-RMAC team.
NMHU also finished sixth in last season's standings and in the preseason poll — one in which coaches could not vote for their own team.
This year, the Cowboys earned 38 points.
Defending champion CSU Pueblo was picked to win the league, receiving eight — of a possible 10 — first place votes. Western Colorado (picked second) and Chadron State (picked fourth) each received two first place votes, as well. Colorado School of Mines was picked third, with no first place votes.

A 2-year-old boy is dead after he gained access to a gun in a Southern California home and shot himself, authorities said.
The child's mother, Jamaria Cobb, 20, and her boyfriend, Armand Bright, 52, were arrested for child abuse causing great bodily injury or death, according to the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Office.
The shooting happened on July 16 in Highland, California, a city of about 57,000 residents in San Bernardino County, about 65 miles east of Los Angeles.
Deputies were dispatched to the home at about 5:27 p.m. for reports of a 2-year-old who had been shot, the sheriff's office said.
They began life-saving measures on the child before emergency medical personnel responded and transported the child to a hospital, where he died soon after, officials said in a July 17 news release.

After three seasons in College Station, Texas A&M star outfielder Caden Sorrell said his final goodbyes to Blue Bell Park after helping lead the Aggies back to the NCAA Tournament under second-year coach Michael Earley, leading the Aggies in several categories, and launching 23 home runs, tied for the fifth most in Texas A&M history.
After his injury-riddled 2025 campaign, Sorrell's importance to the roster was highly evident given the Aggies' struggles on offense when he was out of the lineup, and paired with the loss of fellow star hitter Gavin Grahovac, Michael Earley knew that any shot at returning to the NCAA Tournament in 2026 hinged on both players staying healthy.
This hope came to fruition, as Sorrell, who slashed 341/.434/.743 with 77 hits and 67 runs scored, also led the Aggies with 76 RBI, 11 stolen bases, and 20 doubles. One of the top MLB Draft prospects, expected to go late in the first or early in the second round, the Highland Village (TX) native is headed to join the Chicago Cubs, who chose Sorrell 62nd overall in the second round.
With a reported slot value of $1,487,200, Sorrell made the right decision to depart rather than return for a final season with the Aggies, giving the program everything he had and proving he is ready to continue improving in the minor leagues before making his MLB debut, hopefully sooner rather than later.
Joining second baseman Chris Hacopian, who was selected 11th overall by the Washington Nationals, Caden Sorrell is the second Texas A&M player off the board.

The Chargers’ star special teams player is up next! Let’s get to know linebacker and ST ace Del’Shawn Phillips!
Height: 6’2
Weight: 230 pounds
College: Illinois
Experience: 7
Phillips hails from Highland Park, Michigan where he starred as Cass Tech High School. Originally committed to Western Michigan, Phillips was ruled academically ineligible and needed to step away from the sport to get his grades in order.
After taking a year away from football, Phillips joined the team at Garden City Community College. He had a standout freshman season with 12.5 tackles for loss and seven sacks. In his sophomore season at Garden City, he helped his team win that year’s NJCAA National Championship. After committing initially to play for the University of Arizona, he wound up swapping to Illinois.
Earning a job right away with the Illini, he recorded 84 tackles, four tackles for loss, and a sack in his first season in the Big Ten. He was named a team captain as a senior and capped off his career with a 95-tackle, four-interception season en route to earning Honorable Mention All-Big Ten honors.

SILVIS, Ill. — Viktor Hovland and Scottie Scheffler had to return to TPC River Highlands on Monday to finish their playoff at the Travelers Championship after heavy rain caused a weather delay Sunday afternoon.
The PGA Tour might run into the same problem again this week at the John Deere Classic, where brutally hot and humid conditions could cook up thunderstorms throughout the weekend in Silvis, Illinois. The first round got underway Thursday morning without a hitch, but the forecast for the rest of the tournament doesn't look too promising.
The first round of inclement weather could arrive Thursday afternoon, as the forecast calls for a 50 percent chance of scattered thunderstorms. Even if those storms don't materialize, players will be dealing with temperatures in the low 90s with a heat index north of 100 degrees.
Friday's forecast is similar to Thursday's: partly cloudy with a high in the upper 80s and a heat index nearing 100, plus a 55 percent chance of a strong thunderstorm carrying heavy rain that could cause flash flooding in some areas.
Saturday's third round seems to have the biggest chance of a suspension in play, with cloudy and very humid conditions. There's a 60 percent chance of thunderstorms all throughout the day, and some of those storms could be severe, with high winds and damaging hail to go along with heavy rain.

Viktor Hovland of Norway had good reason to jump into a group of countrymen on June 29 at the TPC River Highlands and do the "Viking Row" that has become a familiar sight wherever Norsemen have gathered in America — for the World Cup, Major League Baseball, or in this case, a PGA Tour signature event.
Hovland celebrated with his fans behind the 18th green after sinking a birdie putt of 7 feet to beat Scottie Scheffler in a quick playoff for the Travelers Championship, the first Monday finish on the PGA Tour since Rory McIlroy won the 2025 Players Championship over J.J. Spaun.
It was Hovland's eighth PGA Tour **** le and moved him 36 spots up the FedEx Cup points list to 20th. Hovland is now well within the top 30 and if he stays there he has a chance to win the FedEx Cup for a second time in his career.
Scheffler held onto first place on the points list with his fourth runner-up finish of the season. The FedEx Cup concept is designed to reward consistency, and while Scheffler hasn't won since Jan. 25 at The American Express, the world's No. 1 player has been a model of consistency: 14 of 14 cuts, with all 14 among the top 25, and nine top-10 finishes, all fourth or higher.
The only big movement among the top 10 was Rory McIlroy, who did not play at River Highlands, dropping from eighth to 13th.

Scottie Scheffler has suggested that losing the Travelers Championship in a Monday playoff is slightly easier to accept due to how hard he knows Viktor Hovland works on his game.
Hovland emerged victorious at TPC River Highlands as the two men returned on Monday to finish off their duel at the final signature event of the season on the PGA Tour.
The Norwegian piled the pressure on by holing his birdie putt first as the pair played the 18th hole once again. Nevertheless, few would have imagined that Scheffler would miss his putt from three feet to extend the playoff.
It has the potential to be a significant moment in Hovland’s career, with the 28-year-old constantly searching for the magic formula that will allow him to realise his full potential.
Remarkably, it was only Hovland’s second PGA Tour win since lifting the FedEx Cup in 2023.

Wyndham Clark had a round to remember Sunday at the 2026 Travelers Championship.
The U.S. Open champion shot 5-under 65 during the final round at TPC River Highlands, and he did so with an excellent performance on the greens. Clark made 105 feet of putts, and he took only 20 swipes with the flat stick on Sunday.
In the history of the Travelers Championship, that's the fewest number of putts in a round ever.
Clark's putter change to the Scottsdale TEC Ally Blue Onset has been revolutionary for his game. Since making the change, he has won twice – the CJ Cup Byron Nelson and his second U.S. Open ******* le – and finished T-5 at the Travelers. His worst finish in the last five starts is T-11. In a little more than three months, he has gone from a below-average putter to one of the best in the world.
The record for fewest putts in a PGA Tour round is 18, a whopping one per hole, achieved 12 times. Cameron Smith was the latest to do it in 2021.

Sometimes, 72 holes just aren’t enough.
After four days of world-class golf and a lengthy weather delay Sunday afternoon, the Travelers Championship will be decided Monday morning in a sudden-death playoff between World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler and World No. 8 Viktor Hovland at TPC River Highlands in Cromwell, Connecticut.
The format couldn’t be simpler.
Scheffler and Hovland will return to the 18th tee at 9 a.m. ET and play the finishing hole. If they tie the hole, they’ll do it again. And again. And again. The first player to win a hole walks away with the Travelers Championship trophy.
Event: Travelers Championship Playoff

Viktor Hovland began the final round of the Travelers Championship with a one-stroke lead over Scottie Scheffler.
Hovland has been really struggling with his game over the past two years, while Scheffler has experienced completely contrasting fortunes.
The 30-year-old from Dallas has won 14 times since the start of the 2024 season, while the Norwegian has just one victory to his name during that same period.
So, as Scottie Scheffler and Viktor Hovland entered the final round of the Travelers Championship, it was the world number one who was the red-hot favorite, despite the fact that he trailed by one shot.
However, neither player produced anywhere near their best golf on Sunday at TPC River Highlands, as they allowed numerous other players back into the tournament.

CROMWELL, Conn. (AP) — Scottie Scheffler made an 8-foot par putt on the 18th hole Sunday and pumped his fist with more emotion than he showed all day, just for the right to return Monday at the rain-delayed Travelers Championship to face a sudden-death playoff against Viktor Hovland.
The final round was stopped for 90 minutes as storms moved over the TPC River Highland, and officials deemed there was not enough daylight for them to play another hole.
Scheffler and Hovland each had birdie chances at the end. Scheffler rammed his 30-foot putt 8 feet by the hole. Hovland’s 25-foot attempt missed by inches and he tapped in for a 69. Scheffler made his third big par putt for a 68 to match Hovland at 21-under 259.
That was one shot ahead of Collin Morikawa, who closed with a 61 and was briefly tied for the lead, though it never looked as though it would be enough.
CHASKA, Minn. (AP) — Haeran Ryu ended Nelly Korda's hopes for a Grand Slam when she recovered from a shaky start and won the KPMG Women's PGA Championship for her first major, beating Ina Yoon by two shots at Hazeltine.

Play resumed at 7:20 p.m. ET in the Travelers Championship, following an 83-minute weather suspension.
Officials halted play at 5:57 p.m., with dangerous weather in the Cromwell, Connecticut, area.
Scottie Scheffler holds the lead at 21 under par through 13 holes at TPC River Highlands. Collin Morikawa is in the clubhouse at 20 under, following a closing 61.
Viktor Hovland, in the final pairing with Scheffler, is at 19 under, tied with Wyndham Clark (through 14).
Rain began to increase around 5:20 p.m., and turned in a downpour at times. Officials continued play as TPC River Highlands was holding up to the conditions. Once electricity arrived in the area, however, the horn sounded and players were taken off the course.

It might be the most common number in New England, but you won’t find many 12’s around TPC River Highlands in Cromwell, Connecticut.
Especially dozens that look like J.T. Poston’s.
The Travelers Championship is traditionally a birdie fest, but Poston was enjoying none of that Sunday at the par-5 13th hole. Poston recorded a septuple-bogey 12 despite being just 80 feet from the hole after his first two strokes.
What the heck happened from there?
Poston’s third shot, nestled against the lip of the greenside bunker, traveled just 22 feet from the sand to the fairway cut short of the green; Poston told Golfweek he intentionally left that shot short of the putting surface, hoping to avoid the pond that guards the opposite side of the green. Of course, he ended up wet anyway, sending his chip through the green and into the water.

CROMWELL, Conn. — J.T. Poston was 3 under heading to the 13th tee on Sunday at the 2026 Travelers Championship and then hit a great drive down the middle of the fairway.
That was the last good thing to happen to the winner of the 2026 Memorial Tournament on the lone par 5 on the back nine at TPC River Highlands. To follow along with this septuple bogey disaster, break your abacus.
From 229 yards out from the hole, Poston's second shot went into a greenside bunker right of the putting surface. his third shot failed to reach the green and left him 59 feet from the hole. From there, his fourth shot went into the pond on the opposite side of the green, necessitating a penalty drop.
Poston's sixth shot from the greenside rough went back into the water, necessitating a second penalty drop. hitting 8, his ball went into the water again, forcing him to drop for a third time.
Poston's 10th shot, from rough, went 13 feet past the hole. He missed that putt for 11 and then tapped-in the 8-inch putt that remained for 12, a septuple bogey.
