Hawthorne waited over two hours to prove to the Florida high school football world that it belongs.
Once the ball kicked off at 9:15 p.m. vs. Miami Northwestern, the Hornets made their statement in their typical fashion.
Through a physical, defensive brand of football that results in a win.
Hawthorne defeated Miami Northwestern 16-12 Thursday night at Annie Mae Phillips Stadium to improve to 4-0 on the 2026 season and hand the Bulls their first loss of the season.
The tone of the game changed drastically after Hawthorne QB and 2025 All-Area Small School Player of the Year Richard Roundtree suffered an ankle injury on the first drive.

Roberto De Zerbi's Tottenham Hotspur were held to a goalless draw by Nottingham Forest on Saturday afternoon, as the Italian coach's 'revolution' in North London struggles to gather pace.
De Zerbi guided the club to Premier League survival after taking over late last season and helped engineer an expensive squad overhaul in the summer transfer window, with over €200m spent on midfielders alone.
However, Spurs remain winless and are now without a goal in their opening three league matches for the first time since 1974. Pressure is already beginning to mount on the former Sassuolo and Brighton boss to quickly find solutions to his side's mounting offensive woes, despite the vast amounts of money spent to supposedly improve it.

Both Sandro Tonali and Destiny Udogie started for De Zerbi at the City Ground today. Tonali, who completed a marquee move from Newcastle United earlier in the summer, put in a full ninety-minute shift and stood out as one of Spurs' few bright spots, dictating play from the base of the midfield.

Archer Aviation (NYSE: ACHR) reported its second-quarter results on Monday, and the two numbers that matter most sit at opposite ends of the release. The air taxi maker expects an adjusted EBITDA loss of $170 million to $200 million for the third quarter. And it closed out June holding $1.56 billion in cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments.
Set one number against the other and the arithmetic is simple: At the top of that guidance, Archer's money covers roughly two more years of losses. What has to happen inside them?

After all, this is a company still almost entirely ahead of its revenue. Second-quarter sales were $5 million, mostly from operating Hawthorne Airport in Los Angeles, against a net loss of $263 million.
None of that is surprising for a business building an aircraft program and a defense platform at once. But it does make the balance sheet the number to watch. As of this writing, shares sit near $6.60 after sliding 5% on Friday.

Procter & Gamble (NYSE:PG) is buying its way into wellness. On August 4, L Catterton announced it had signed a definitive agreement to sell Thorne, a science-backed health and wellness brand, to Procter & Gamble for $3.8 billion in cash. The deal lands a day after an August 3 ****** ysis flagged a fiscal 2027 earnings guide that came in below expectations, weighed down by roughly $1 billion in new cost headwinds. Investors now have two stories to weigh at once: fresh expansion and a tougher near-term cost picture.
The Thorne acquisition gives Procter & Gamble entry into a category built on clinical credibility rather than shelf ****** e. Thorne has spent 40 years building relationships with healthcare practitioners, and L Catterton's announcement noted the company developed a proprietary AI wellness advisor to help consumers navigate its supplement lineup, a tool practitioners can point their patients to directly.
The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2026, an all-cash deal with no debt or equity swapped into the mix. Procter & Gamble isn't skimping on shareholders while it shops, either. The company returned $10.2 billion in dividends and $5.0 billion in share repurchases during fiscal 2026, and it plans roughly the same combination, about $10 billion in dividends and $5 billion in buybacks, for fiscal 2027. There's a case buried inside the company's own guidance, too. Strip out the roughly $1 billion in commodity, energy, and transportation costs management expects to absorb next year, and core EPS would be growing at about 10% instead of the 0% to 3% baked into the outlook.
The numbers behind the fiscal 2027 outlook explain the caution. Management guided core EPS to $6.89 to $7.11, implying growth of just 0% to 3%, and pointed to roughly $1 billion in after-tax commodity, energy, and transportation costs as the main culprit. Add higher net interest expense, lower non-operating income, and unfavorable currency, and the total drag reaches $0.56 per share, wiping out about 8 percentage points of core earnings growth before the year even starts.
The trend already shows up in recent results. In the fiscal fourth quarter, net sales rose 2% year-over-year to $21.2 billion while organic sales were flat, and core EPS fell 3% to $1.43. For the full fiscal year, net sales grew 3% to $87.0 billion, but organic sales rose only 1%, and every bit of that growth came from higher prices rather than more units sold. Volume and mix didn't move. Shares trade near $144, about 5% above their 52-week low of $137.62, or roughly 21 times fiscal 2026 core earnings of $6.89. That's not an expensive multiple, but it isn't cheap for a business guiding to low-single-digit growth.

After yet another disappointing campaign that almost culminated into relegation, Tottenham Hotspur are going through a reset of sorts, under new manager Roberto de Zerbi.
The Lilywhites have already seen Luka Vuskovic leave the club while many other star players have been linked with an exit.
While Lucas Bergvall might not necessarily top that list, it appears the player did try to make his way out of North London.

According to Foot Mercato, Bergvall's representatives have been searching for a way out and sounded out Barcelona over a potential move.

Bella Thorne has opened up about her mental health struggles.
The actor, who is best known for starring as CeCe Jones in the Disney Channel series Shake It Up, talked about the ramifications of her childhood relationship with her mother, Tamara Thorne, on the latest episode of the Call Her Daddy podcast.
"I think between everything, with a lot of the work and growing up and the way that I did, I struggled very badly with suicidal thoughts and depression," Thorne shared during the Wednesday episode.
"And I thought at one point, if I had hurt myself then maybe she would see how much pain I was in."
Thorne's negative thoughts were a trigger for her to leave her childhood home as soon as she turned 18.
"I could feel the erratic-ness coming on again," she reflected. "Not having the **** e to actually talk about what happens when you turn 18. I think I was so scared and my mom was so scared. We were both so scared."

Remembering being pit against her "Shake It Up" co-star Zendaya beginning from the age of 12, Bella Throne recounted Wednesday how the two actresses escaped from the Disney Channel set to hash things out one-on-one.
The duo played best friends in the dance series on Disney Channel from 2010 to 2013, but Thorne told Alex Cooper on "Call Her Daddy" that adults around her as well as fans of the show would want the co-stars to compete.
"With women, it's just, 'Nope, we have to make you guys all beg for one spot so that we can have the 80 other million ones,'" Thorne said, recalling misogynistic feedback from men. "'We're asking you to, like, eat yourselves alive while we have all these spots, but for women, just one of you.'"
"The Duff" actress told Cooper that the feedback became so overwhelming that she and Zendaya "escaped" set to discuss the growing tensions between them.
"It got pretty bad," she said. "It got to a point where when we were on our 'Good Luck Charlie' crossover, we escaped to another set in the middle of live taping, which is really ***** y, badass and rebellious."

Bella Thorne survived her Disney Channel days thanks, in part, to costar Zendaya.
In the Wednesday, Aug. 5 episode of "Call Her Daddy," Thorne opened up about the pressures of being treated like an adult as a pre-teen and how she and Zendaya, whom she starred opposite on "Shake It Up" from 2010 to 2013, mended their friendship after being pitted against each other as child stars growing up in Hollywood.
"Thank God," the 28-year-old "Scream" TV actress said of having a confidante in Zendaya during their Disney days, which also included the 2012 movie "Frenemies" and Zendaya's series "K.C. Undercover," in which Thorne made a onetime cameo.
"Zendaya definitely was probably the only person on the [Disney] Channel that I hung out with," Thorne told host Alex Cooper. As the breadwinner for her family, Thorne said she couldn't step out of bounds: "I couldn't afford to make a mistake in that way or be like, 'I'm going to have drama' or revel in anything."

Last season was a massive disappointment for the Kentucky Wildcats basketball team. They struggled against power conference teams, and suffered several blowout losses, including a second round NCAA Tournament loss to Iowa State where they weren't competitive. It was one of the worst seasons in recent school history, and one fans are hoping not to repeat this coming year.
To that end, coach Mark Pope went out and rebuilt the roster, adding players who fit what he wants to do, and who have lots of potential. He also landed one of the transfer portal's best players in sharpshooter Milan Momcilovic.
The addition of Momcilovic, along with Alex Wilkins, Zoom Diallo, and others, resulted in Kentucky's transfer class being ranked as the third best in the country. That ranking has led to CBS Sports calling the Wildcats one of 25 teams who are national championship contenders.
Since 2018, per their report, every national champion has had either a top 20 recruiting class, a top 20 transfer class, or returned their top scorer. Obviously, Kentucky qualifies for the list based on their transfer class.
That terrific group of transfers joins returning talents like Kam Williams, Malachi Moreno, and Braydon Hawthorne to make up what could be Pope's most complete team yet. Kentucky hasn't been a true championship contender since well before John Calipari left, and Big Blue Nation is desperate to change that. Could this be the year they make a deep run in March? CBS Sports thinks they can.

According to the Financial Times, the consumer goods giant has set its sights on acquiring Thorne, a U.S. dietary supplements brand. L Catterton, Thorne's private equity owner, has initiated a sale process that has attracted multiple potential buyers, of which Unilever is one.
The asking price, $4 billion, would dwarf the $680 million L Catterton paid to take Thorne private in 2023 — a deal that would yield enormous gains for the LVMH-backed firm. Thorne, which has been in operation since 1984, is on track for $650 million in annual revenues and offers products such as magnesium and omega-3 supplements. Since coming under L Catterton's control, Thorne has posted compounded annual revenue growth exceeding 30 percent.
Consumer healthcare group Haleon has also submitted a bid for Thorne, according to Reuters. A Haleon spokesperson said the company does not comment on rumor or speculation. Unilever and L Catterton both declined to comment.
Buying Thorne would add to a string of wellness purchases Unilever has made in recent years, having brought Liquid IV, Nutrafol, Olly, SmartyPants, and Grüns — the last acquired in April — into its portfolio. Unilever's wellbeing unit recorded double-digit revenue growth in 2025.
CEO Fernando Fernandez, who took the role in March 2025, has been reshaping Unilever's portfolio toward beauty and wellness. The announcement of a March deal merging Unilever's food division with U.S. spice giant McCormick wiped 7 percent off the company's share price, with shareholders voicing worry about how much debt the new entity — in which Unilever will own a 65 percent stake — would carry.

Drew McIntyre is not expected back in WWE anytime soon, and a new Hollywood commitment helps explain why. PWInsider's Mike Johnson reports that there is nothing on the table creatively for McIntyre in WWE at this time, and that online reports suggesting he was set for a return heading into SummerSlam were inaccurate. At the same time, Deadline has confirmed that McIntyre has joined the cast of The Last Druid, a historical action drama starring Russell Crowe that is currently filming in Spain.
The two developments together paint a clear picture of where McIntyre's focus is right now. Since returning from filming the Highlander reboot in Scotland, he has been circling several Hollywood projects, and The Last Druid represents the latest concrete result of that activity. His most recent WWE appearance came at WrestleMania 42, where he lost to Jacob Fatu in an Unsanctioned Match before stepping away from television entirely.
The Last Druid sees Crowe return to the world of ancient warfare, set a quarter century after Gladiator. The story follows a Roman Emperor who discovers a secluded Druid stronghold in the mountains of Caledonia, forcing a peaceful Celtic elder — played by Crowe — to take up arms to protect his family and people from annihilation. McIntyre's specific role has not been announced. The film's cast also includes Stacy Clausen, star of the Sundance breakout Leviticus, Spanish veteran Pablo Derqui, Crowe's son Tennyson Crowe in his second acting role, Rose Leslie, Andreas Pietschmann, and Daniel Zovatto. William Eubank is directing from a script he co-wrote with Phil Gawthorne and Carlyle Eubank.
The project marks McIntyre's second collaboration with Crowe, following their work together on Amazon MGM's Highlander reboot. In that film, directed by Chad Stahelski, McIntyre plays Angus MacLeod, the brother of Henry Cavill's Connor MacLeod. That project also reunited him with his The Killer's Game co-star Dave Bautista. The Last Druid now extends his relationship with Crowe into a second production.
