Rockledge was eager to get back on the football field after a dispiriting loss to Eau Gallie on Sept. 11.
The Raiders hosted Class 6A Spruce Creek on Sept. 14 in a rescheduled game from Week 2 after weather forced the postponement of the game on Aug. 28.
Spruce Creek led 3-0 with 1:57 left in the first quarter, but a quarterback change on Rockledge's final offensive drive ignited a game-tying drive to force overtime.
The Hawks scored 2 plays into overtime. On Rockledge's first offensive snap of the extra period, the Raiders threw an interception resulting in a 10-3 defeat.
"We played hard, we played tough," Rockledge head coach John Holmes said. "Just too many penalties."

Brian Ortega has pulled out of his scheduled UFC 331 bout against Renato Moicano with an injury.
'T-City' has endured harship in recent years. The 35-year-old has only managed five fights in the last five years, averaging one per year. But it isn't just his activity that has been slacking. His last win came in early 2024, which is his lone victory in five. Now out of the rankings and looking to move up a division, Ortega needed a stroke of good luck to come his way. That hasn't happened; in fact, bad luck seems to be looming overhead.
After falling out of the fight due to injury in March, Brian Ortega hoped a rescheduled clash against Renato Moicano would go smoothly. But just days ahead of his proposed appearance at UFC 331, injury strikes again.
While classified as an undisclosed injury, a picture has surfaced online that potentially shows the true cause. An image of Ortega with a significant cut and swelling above his left eye has been
With days to prepare for an opponent, Renato Moicano has been removed from the Los Angeles card entirely.

Major League Soccer has rescheduled FC Cincinnati's match against D.C. United for Wednesday, Oct. 21 at 7 p.m. ET at TQL Stadium.
The match, originally scheduled for Sept. 5, was rescheduled due to pitch conditions and resulting player safety concerns created by heavy rains and inclement weather in the Cincinnati area.
Both teams will then fly to the Washington D.C. area and play again three days later at Audi Field.
The new kickoff date adds to an already congested stretch for FC Cincinnati following an upcoming FIFA international window. They will play seven matches in 21 days from Oct. 10 to Oct. 31. Right before the D.C. doubleheader, Cincinnati will host archrival Columbus Oct. 18, then right after will play at Inter Miami Oct. 28.
Cincinnati dropped to ninth in the MLS Eastern Conference, occupying the last playoff spot, following a 3-3 draw with Charlotte Sept. 12, and now plays its next three games on the road, where the team is 1-6-5 in MLS play. Cincinnati next plays at Houston, who is second place in the Western Conference, 8:30 p.m. Sept. 19.

Stivers will have six games on the remainder of its 2026 football schedule.
The Tigers new schedule was finalized Thursday, Sept. 11 by Dayton Public Schools.
Stivers will restart its season against Thurgood Marshall on Sept. 17. Stivers kept road games against Shroder, Norwood and Vanlue from its original slate, and also received a commitment from St. Bernard-Elmwood Place. The Tigers also rescheduled a game against Dunbar at Welcome Stadium.
DPS Superintendent Dr. David Lawrence announced Sept. 2 Stivers would attempt to finish the season one day after the district said its season would be canceled. The district originally canceled the season due to what the district described as not being able to continue "safely and responsibly" stemming from injuries and low player participation numbers. DPS officials reversed its decision after holding a meeting with parents and staff the following day.
Stivers began the 2026 season with a game on Aug. 21 against Gamble Montessori which it lost 50-6. The originally scheduled game against Dunbar the next week was canceled and a few days after the entire season was canceled which caused several teams originally on the Stivers schedule to find new games.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Former Fox Sports ****** yst Mark Sanchez plans to plead guilty to charges ahead of a trial stemming from an October 2025 fight with a truck driver outside an Indianapolis hotel, according to court records filed Thursday.
A motion asks for a guilty plea and sentencing hearing for Sanchez in Marion County Superior Court. Online records didn't indicate which charges Sanchez plans to plead guilty to.
Sanchez faces a felony battery charge, along with three misdemeanor charges, for what prosecutors have said was a fight over parking.
The ex-NFL quarterback's jury trial was scheduled to start Tuesday. The trial had been rescheduled five times since it was initially set to begin in December. Sanchez and Fox Sports also face a civil lawsuit filed by the truck driver, Perry Tole.
A police affidavit alleges that Sanchez, smelling of alcohol, accosted Tole, who had backed his truck into a hotel's loading docks in downtown Indianapolis. Tole claims in his lawsuit that Sanchez entered the truck without permission, then physically blocked and shoved Tole, who then doused Sanchez with pepper spray.

Former Fox Sports ****** yst Mark Sanchez has plead guilty to charges relating to an altercation from last fall, according to Indiana court records. Sanchez, who was facing three misdemeanors and a felony battery charge, filed a motion for a guilty plea on Thursday.
In October, Sanchez was stabbed in Indianapolis after allegedly sparking an altercation with a truck driver while intoxicated. He was initially charged with three misdemeanors — battery, unauthorized entry of a motor vehicle, and public intoxication — and later charged with a felony for battery resulting in serious bodily injury.
It is unclear which of the charges Sanchez is pleading guilty to. Sanchez's attorneys are reportedly requesting that his sentencing hearing take place on Nov. 9 or Nov. 16 if his plea is accepted, per multiple reports.
Sanchez's jury trial was originally set for March 12, but it was rescheduled four different times, most recently to Sept. 8.
Sanchez, a former New York Jets quarterback-turned-analyst, was fired by Fox a month after the incident.

After IndyCar had its second most-watched race of the season for the Freedom 250 Grand Prix on Aug. 23, neither of its races at the Milwaukee Mile this weekend reached 1 million viewers.
The first race of the weekend, the Snap-On Makers and Fixers 250, received 509,000 viewers on Fox on Saturday before being postponed 90 laps and less than an hour in due to rain. IndyCar initially scheduled the race's restart to occur Sunday morning, but more rain led the series to push back the resumption of the first race until after the afternoon running of the second race, the Snap-On Milwaukee Mile 250. Sunday's resumed coverage averaged 309,000 viewers on FS1. Both numbers are a season low.
IndyCar kept the Snap-On Milwaukee Mile 250 in its previously scheduled timeslot (1 p.m.) to keep the television window the same. That race received 950,000 viewers, which is a 32% increase from IndyCar's one Milwaukee Mile race in 2025 (720,000 viewers). Race viewership peaked with 1.181 million viewers from 3 to 3:15 p.m., when Pato O'Ward took the checkered flag. O'Ward won both races to get his season total to three wins.
In its second year on Fox, IndyCar is averaging 1.731 million viewers per race – which is up 27% from last year (1.362 million viewers). Fox now owns one-third of Penske Entertainment, IndyCar's parent company, and airs all its races on the network channel (except rescheduled races like Saturday's).
IndyCar hoped to keep the momentum from the one-time Freedom 250 Grand Prix in Washington, D.C., going. The series, however, was unable to get back to 1 million viewers.

Busy Philipps has ex-husband Marc Silverstein and late friend James Van Der Beek to thank for the discovery of her rare brain tumor.
Philipps, 47, is "grateful" to be alive after doctors found a grade 2 oligodendroglioma, a rare type of brain cancer, during the actress' voluntary full-body scan in February.
Mega
The White Chicks star told People in a Wednesday, August 26, interview that she had originally scheduled the procedure for January, but was forced to postpone due to a blizzard in New York City. Her rescheduled appointment, however, was set for February 12 — just one day after her beloved Dawson's Creek costar Van Der Beek died after a battle with stage 3 colorectal cancer.
"Should I just cancel it?" she recalled asking Silverstein, 55, with whom she shares daughters Birdie, 18, and Cricket, 13. "He's like, 'Maybe it's the best thing you could do for your friend this morning. Go get that scan.'"

Everton have been drawn against Wolverhampton Wanderers in the third round of the Carabao Cup for the second consecutive year. This came after beating Preston North End in a 4-0 jaunt earlier tonight. Wolves beat Sheffield Wednesday 2-0 to progress to the clash against the Blues.
Last season the Blues featured a weakened side against bottom dwellers Wolves who were yet to win a game at the time, but then slipped to a 2-0 defeat away from home to exit the tournament they are yet to win.
Carabao Cup Round Three fixtures will take place across two weeks (beginning 7th and 14th September), with fixtures in the Champions League (week beginning 7th September) and Europa League (week beginning 14th September) also scheduled during this period. The additional dates required in the calendar for European competitions are as a result of an increased number of games for the season, the same as last year.
The eight teams competing in European competitions this season will be drawn separately in a pre-draw to keep them apart from the rest of the third round teams tonight. Since UEFA competitions fixtures cannot be rescheduled, additional rules for the third round of the Carabao Cup had been introduced for the draw tonight. Clubs taking part in the Champions League or Europa League cannot be drawn against each other in the Carabao Cup third round.
The Blues have never won this competition in their 141-year history, but have been beaten finalists twice, against Aston Villa in 1977 and to Liverpool in 1984. Their run in the tournament last season lasted until the Third Round when they lost at home to Southampton in a penalty shootout, with newest signing Tyler Dibling a second half substitute in that game.

Anyone who has carried a balance knows the small relief of moving it. The amount does not shrink. The due date moves, the pressure lifts, and it becomes easy to read that quiet as progress.
It usually is not. The arithmetic has only been rescheduled, and rescheduling carries its own price.
Washington runs on that instinct at a scale that makes the household version look tidy. The government has spent 2026 raising money from a market that keeps demanding more in return for lending.
The 30-year Treasury yield hit a 19-year high of 5.34% on Aug. 18, according to Reuters. The following morning, outstanding public debt exceeded $40 trillion for the first time, NBC News reported.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent responded the way an activist Treasury chief does. He stepped in.

MARKHAM, Ontario – After IndyCar had to call off Friday's practice session for the Ontario Honda Dealers Indy at Markham, cars have made it on track for the rescheduled session Saturday morning.
With the race's promoter, Green Savoree Racing Promotions, being behind on preparation for the new street course in Markham, all on-track activities were placed on hold Friday before being eventually postponed to Saturday. This is the first year that the series is racing at the 12-turn, 2.19-mile street course after racing at Exhibition Place in downtown Toronto for 37 of the last 40 years.
"IndyCar is incredibly disappointed that our promoter was not able to complete the track build on time, despite significant support from our team on site," IndyCar president Doug Boles said in a news release. "Ontario has always been a magnificent market for our sport and the number of spectators that attended today is a shining example of that. New events can always pose logistical challenges and we join in the frustration of our loyal fans and apologize.
"Once we hit the track, we believe the circuit will be spectacular. We would like to thank the city of Markham for the major support it has made to provide IndyCar a layout, which is fast, technical and will put on a terrific show on Sunday."
Green Savoree Racing Promotions needed to receive and install the necessary tire packs for the tire barriers in runoff areas. The three support series in attendance – USF 2000, USF Pro 2000 and NASCAR Canada – completed their practice sessions Saturday morning before Indy cars got on track. IndyCar has another practice at 2:30 before qualifying at 6:30. The race begins at noon on Sunday.

The excitement was high for the Toronto suburb of Markham, Ontario as fans came out early and filled the grandstands around the 12-turn, 2.19-mile street course – site of IndyCar's Ontario Honda Dealers Grand Prix of Markham.
Unfortunately, for the next nine hours, the only action they saw were construction vehicles attempting to complete the building of the race course.
Because of ongoing delays completing the track build, the NTT IndyCar Series Practice 1 on Friday has been rescheduled from 3:05 p.m. Eastern Time to 6 p.m. ET.
Areas of the hairpin are being completed including fencing and barriers and are expected to be finished soon. After that, it needs to be certified by an FIA representative on site.

Aug. 8—PATERSON, N.J. — The Spokane Velocity's USL League One match against the New York Cosmos, which was scheduled for 4 p.m. on Saturday at Hinchliffe Stadium, has been postponed due to travel delays for Spokane, according to USL LeagueOne.com, and will be rescheduled to a date that will be announced at a later time.
This marks the second straight game in which the Velocity's contest has been postponed or delayed. Last week, in Chattanooga, Tennessee, Spokane allowed a goal early in the period against the Chattanooga Red Wolves but the game was delayed later in the half and was postponed due to lightning strikes.
League rules dictate that Spokane's rescheduled match against Chattanooga — which has yet to be announced — will be replayed from the opening kickoff.
Led by Shavon John-Brown's five goals, two ******* ists and 19 chances created, fifth-ranked Spokane (10-2-6) boasts a four-game winning streak across all competition including League One and the USL Cup.
The Velocity will now prepare for their first-ever USL Cup knockout stage match at ONE Spokane Stadium at 6 p.m. Wednesday. Spokane hosts sixth-ranked USL Championship club Colorado Springs Switchbacks FC.

Memphis football's season opener is only three weeks away.
The Tigers held a "Fan Fest" event on Aug. 8 at Simmons Bank Liberty Stadium. It was a rescheduled event that was supposed to take place in the spring but was postponed because of weather, and it was also the first time for a lot of Memphis fans to see the 2026 team in action.
Coach Charles Huff had warned beforehand that the portion of practice open to the public wouldn't exactly be groundbreaking stuff. It was mostly special teams drills, and it took place a day after the Tigers held a scrimmage.
Still, it was a reminder that the season is close. Here's what we saw.
It's not surprising in any way that the quarterback competition between Air Noland and Marcus Stokes is ongoing, but this was the first chance to see them in action. Fans got to see a few seven-on-seven drills in which each got chances with different sets of receivers.

National League South club Ebbsfleet United have been suspended from competition due to unpaid debts and will not fulfil their first three fixtures of the new season.
The National League issued a statement after a Compliance and Licensing Committee meeting on Wednesday confirming the club were unable "to meet its financial obligations throughout the 2026-27 season".
"Following careful consideration, the Committee has taken the decision under applicable regulations to suspend Ebbsfleet United FC, with a review to be undertaken by the Committee on 19 August," the League said.
"As a result of suspension, at this time, the club will not be able to fulfil the opening three fixtures of the coming season."
It means their trip to Slough Town on Saturday, Folkestone Invicta's visit to the Kuflink Stadium on 15 August and their match away at Chelmsford City two days later on 17 August will all be rescheduled.

Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NCAA. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Indiana fans and fans across the country.
Well, here we are again.
Indiana football has cancelled another future non-conference series, this time against Notre Dame. The Hoosiers and Fighting Irish were set to meet in Bloomington and South Bend in 2030 and 2031 seasons in a pair of games agreed to years ago when Tom Allen and Brian Kelly were still leading their respective programs.
Notre Dame has replaced those games with a rescheduled series against historic rival USC. It remains to be seen how Indiana, which reportedly requested out of the series, replaces those gaps in its schedule.
As of now, the Hoosiers have no power conference opponents in future non-conference schedules. Indiana has previously cancelled series against both Louisville and Virginia. Indiana's approach to non-conference scheduling predates Curt Cignetti's hiring as head coach, with the aforementioned Louisville series being cancelled during Tom Allen's time leading the program.

Kaitlyn Collins responded Monday to the string of insults President Trump lobbed at the CNN journalist during his first White House Correspondents' ****** ociation dinner speech, saying it was unsurprising, since hearing similar personal attacks has become normalized in the Oval Office.
The cable network's White House correspondent and anchor has become Trump's new favorite punching bag, and at Friday night's make-up dinner, he didn't hold back as he stumbled through a lengthy and exhausting speech. The pared-down event was rescheduled after a gunman attempted to enter the gala in April and fired a gun in an alleged attempt to kill Trump.

The president spoke for nearly an hour during the annual event, which was rescheduled for Friday night after a gunman fired shots inside the Washington Hilton in April.
Stewart played a clip of Trump attempting to make a joke during the speech, which drew silence from the audience at the WHCD. "Normally I'd say, 'Don't quit your day job,'" Stewart said. "But in this case I will make an exception."

The status of the marriage between US President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump is often up for debate. The two make appearances together every once in a while, but they have never really seemed to like each other, and they mostly stick to their own separate engagements. Perhaps that's why the news that Melania won't be present at one particular event isn't all that surprising.
RadarOnline is reporting that the first lady is set to skip the rescheduled White House Correspondents' Dinner, which will take place 3 months after the event was cancelled after a gunman was apprehended. Cole Tomas Allen, the alleged gunman, pleaded not guilty to all charges during a court appearance in May.

Malaysia could return to the Formula One calendar at short notice this year if the Iran conflict causes more problems, specialist website the-race.com reported on Thursday.
In mid-March, Formula One postponed April races in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia due to the war, reducing the calendar initially from 24 to 22 grands prix.
If the final two races of the year on November 29 in Qatar and on December 6 in Abu Dhabi cannot take place either due to trouble in the Middle East, Formula One bosses are examining further options, the report said.
Before the recent escalation in the Iran conflict, officials had hoped that a Bahrain Grand Prix could be rescheduled on the first weekend in October between races in Azerbaijan and Singapore.
That now looks unlikely with the US and Iran again trading blows, so candidates for a race on October 4 now include Malaysia, the report said, as well as Turkey.

Saul "Canelo" Alvarez has already had a professional boxing career spanning more than 20 years and 68 fights. On Wednesday, just days after he turned 36 years old, the Mexican superstar opened up about how much time he believes he still has left in the sport.
"Maybe three, four more fights for me there, because I have other goals out of boxing too," Alvarez revealed on Uncrowned's "The Ariel Helwani Show," while also announcing a rescheduled date of Oct. 31 for his WBC super middleweight ******* le challenge against Christian Mbilli in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Alvarez (63-3-2, 39 KOs), who has been earning eight-figure paydays for more than a decade, explained that money is no longer his principal motivation. At this stage in his career, "Canelo" continues to compete because he has a deep-rooted love for the sport.
"[Boxing] makes me feel alive," Alvarez said. "I was born for this. I really enjoy it. It's hard to adapt yourself again [and again to different opponents], and the training camps are very hard, but I love that, and I enjoy it a lot.
"I don't need anything. ... I did everything in boxing already, and I'm good [financially]. But I still love boxing. When I fight, I always break records, and that's the motivation for me. You need to do something in life. You need to keep your mind busy, motivated. Right now, my motivation is boxing."

Conor McGregor returns to the Octagon for the first time in five years when he faces Hawaii's Max Holloway in a five-round welterweight main event tonight at UFC 329, closing out International Fight Week at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
McGregor (22-6 MMA) has not competed since sustaining a broken tibia against Dustin Poirier at UFC 264 in July 2021 and has faced several personal setbacks outside of the UFC.
The former two-division champion at featherweight and lightweight was originally scheduled to return against Michael Chandler at UFC 303 in June 2024 to conclude their Ultimate Fighter 31 rivalry after the show aired in 2023. However, a McGregor toe injury forced a postponement and the match was never rescheduled.
McGregor, 37, returns to the welterweight division for the first time in six years. The Irishman is looking to re-establish himself as a ***** le contender while attempting to defeat Holloway for the second time, following a unanimous decision victory over him in August 2013 at a UFC Fight Night event in Boston in McGregor's second UFC fight.
McGregor said he is grateful for the opportunity to reinvigorate his career and has no immediate plans to change weight divisions after the Holloway rematch.

England’s Round of 16 clash against Mexico is still set to go ahead at 1am BST on Monday morning in the United Kingdom after a change of mind from FIFA.
The match at the Estadio Azteca was briefly rescheduled for 7pm BST amid concerns there could be thunderstorms during the initial kick-off time, although FIFA have since confirmed no change will be made to the schedule.
We have already witnessed the Group I clash between France and Iraq be put on hold for over two hours due to severe weather warnings, while the Round of 32 meeting between Mexico and Ecuador was postponed by an hour as well after lightning flashed directly above the Estadio Azteca.
Some might scoff at the strictness of these protocols, but considering what reportedly happened during a match between Bena Tshadi and Basanga in October 1998, you can understand why FIFA are so careful.
With the scoreline tied at 1-1 during the game, all 11 players on the field for Bena Tshadi were killed after a bolt of lightning hit the pitch.

This weekend's exhibition fight in Greence between Floyd Mayweather and Mike Zambidis appears to be officially off, as ESPN cites federal court records that indicate company CSI, who holds contracts with Mayweather for two other fights, filed for an emergency injunction in the Southern District of New York to prevent this particular event from happening.
"Because Plaintiffs' Motion remains pending without a ruling, the Mayweather-Zambidis event will no longer proceed in Athens, Greece as planned on Saturday evening," attorney Melissa Glass wrote in a letter to the court. "Plaintiffs' commencement of this action and filing of the Motion, as well as their legal threats domestically and in Greece, have effectively stopped any promotion or distribution plans for the event and halted ticket sales."
The fight could potentially be rescheduled depending on a final ruling of the injunction request, but at least for the time being things will be put on hold. There is plenty of litigation to be had in this case, however, as promoters for this Zambidis event claim significant financial harm over money they've already invested in this event and that much of it will not be recoverable.
So while it remains to be seen where this all goes from here, what we do know is that Floyd won't be making an appearance in the ring, as DAZN has also dropped the event from its schedule.

NEW YORK — After his team got rained out two days in a row, Chicago Cubs manager Craig Counsell sounded a little miffed about the second one.
Hours later, he was criticizing a major league rule that led to his ejection following an unusual play.
Chicago's series opener against the Mets in New York was postponed because of poor weather and rescheduled as part of a day-night doubleheader at Citi Field.
Counsell and the Cubs also got washed out back home at Wrigley Field when they were supposed to wrap up a series against the Toronto Blue Jays. That game will be made up Aug. 6.
"Look, consecutive rainouts are, they're troublesome for pitching, for sure. And frankly, yesterday's game did not need to be rained out. It didn't rain, and for some reason we didn't play," Counsell said in the dugout, with a tarp covering the infield on another drizzly day in Queens.

As the justices of the Supreme Court prepared to meet behind closed doors on February 27, they had before them an explosive case involving President Donald Trump, who is seeking to overturn a federal jury's finding that he ***** ually abused and defamed magazine columnist E. Jean Carroll.
But a day before the justices held that private meeting, the Trump case was yanked without explanation.
Since then, the politically sensitive appeal, which Trump initially filed in November, has been set on the court's agenda and rescheduled 15 times. Only one other has been rescheduled as often in the current term, according to a CNN ***** ysis.
Since Trump filed his appeal seven months ago, the president lost a separate $83 million case involving Carroll, and the Justice Department launched a criminal investigation into the magazine columnist.
The nation's highest court almost never explains its handling of pending appeals and has not done so in the Carroll case. The delay could be because one or more justices is writing an opinion about the case. Or the court could be waiting for other appeals involving the Trump and Carroll dispute that are expected soon.

CHICAGO (AP) — The Toronto Blue Jays' game at the Chicago Cubs has been postponed because of inclement weather on Sunday.
Toronto and Chicago were slated to play the finale of their weekend series. Chicago routed Toronto 16-2 on Friday, and the Blue Jays rallied for an 8-6 victory on Saturday.
The game was rescheduled for Aug. 6 at Wrigley Field.
Toronto has won four of five. It begins a 10-game homestand on Monday night against Houston.
Chicago opens a seven-game trip on Monday night at the New York Mets. The Cubs finish the road trip with a weekend series at NL Central-leading Milwaukee.

The 21-year-old singer, whose real name is David Anthony Burke, faces several criminal felony charges, including first-degree murder, continuous **** ual abuse of a child under the age of 14 and unlawful mutilation of human remains.
A Los Angeles Superior Court judge granted a continuance for the evidentiary hearing, which will see lawyers present bombshell evidence and was set to begin later this month, during a status conference on Wednesday, June 17. The hearing, rescheduled for July 21, is expected to span multiple days to determine that prosecutors have probable cause to take the case to trial.
The hearing was initially supposed to take place May 1 before being pushed to May 26 and again delayed until June 29. Prosecutors revealed on May 12 that their discovery potentially contained more than 40 terabytes worth of evidence.
