Gigi Chasco of Wisconsin Lutheran girls volleyball was the winner of last week's Milwaukee Journal Sentinel high school athlete of the week poll for the week of Aug. 31-Sept. 5.
Vikings head coach Megan Mache described the Florida Gulf Coast commit as the "glue" for Wisco in its five-set thriller over New Berlin West on Thursday, Sept. 3. Chasco tallied 26 **** ists, 14 digs, 12 kills, four blocks and a pair of aces in a 25-17, 23-25, 25-18, 19-25, 15-8 nailbiter in the all-Vikings battle.
Chasco received 11,462 out of a possible 21,352 total votes cast.
Claire Baldwin of Sussex Hamilton girls volleyball was the runner-up in last week's poll. The Chargers bounced back in a massive way during the previous week with a 6-0 record, including a tournament victory at the Summers End event in Winnetka, Illinois. The sophomore Baldwin had a huge week for the Chargers, tallying 54 digs and 52 kills on the week, which also included a win over Greater Metro Conference foe Wauwatosa West in a 3-0 sweep.
Other nominees in the poll included Ethan Potthast of Brookfield Academy football, Bear Bonk of Marquette football and Noah Gailey of Hartford boys cross-country.

Even though it's only Week 2, Florida State's (1-1, 0-1) bye week could not have come at a better time.
The Seminoles looked lethargic against New Mexico State in Week 0 before being clearly the worst team against SMU on Labor Day, with the Seminoles unable to capitalize on winning the turnover margin, essentially by a 4-0 margin.
"Just another close game," head coach Mike Norvell told the local Tallahassee media after the Noles' first defeat on Monday. "A lot of one plays, and you think back through it, some of the explosive plays that we had, that we gave up defensively, some missed opportunities there offensively."
Norvell's job status looms over the program, but the Seminoles have red flags all over the roster right now. Unfortunately for them, there will be no rest for the weary. After the bye week, FSU travels to Tuscaloosa to take on a 12th-ranked Alabama team looking for revenge after the Seminoles' stunning Week 1 upset last year in Tallahassee.
It might get worse before it gets better, as evidenced by these three concerning stats from the opening two weeks of Florida State's season.

Monroe had one big play after another, in a 64-19 win over McQuaid, the Red Jacket's first home game under the lights since restarting its varsity program 10 years ago.
In addition to the standard passing and rushing scores, the Red Jackets had two punts, one kickoff, one fumble and one interception returned for touchdowns. Ray Garcia was the punt return specialist, D'Markos Trammell Jr. had the two defensive touchdowns, and Gregory Grant brought back the kick.
While Monroe led throughout, McQuaid had its chances. A touchdown pass from Harrison Engle to Chrisaun Jordan trimmed the Knights' deficit to 16-13 at the end of the first quarter. Monroe had the next two touchdowns, however, to build a cushion at halftime.

Former Australia opener David Warner found himself in a playful social media exchange with England's famous fan group, the Barmy Army, on Friday, and the banter quickly moved from Saim Ayub's ducks to Marnus Labuschagne's century drought, England's curfew troubles and Warner's long-running Stuart Broad problem.

It all started when the Barmy Army took a dig at Warner after Pakistan batter Saim Ayub registered a pair of ducks in the final Test against England at Edgbaston. The England fan group posted a statistic pointing out that Ayub had now registered a pair twice on English soil.
Replying to the Barmy Army, Warner wrote: "Interesting stat. When was the last time I went 42 innings without a Test hundred??"
The reference was not actually about Warner. The 42 innings was a cheeky dig at former Australia teammate Marnus Labuschagne, who had gone through a lengthy drought without a Test century. Labuschagne's last Test hundred came against England at Headingley in 2023, and his drought had stretched to 42 innings.

But he wasn't finished. Then came the curfew dig.

Warner followed his 42-innings reference with another jab: "Oh do you guys still have a curfew? Asking for a mate."

That was a reference to England's recent off-field disciplinary issues involving players breaking team curfew and going out drinking. The issue had become a talking point around the England setup, with fast bowler Brydon Carse among the players caught up in the recent controversy.

During a beach outing, then-5-year-old Terry Potter Hedden III — now "Trey" to NMSU teammates and fans — picked up a football and threw a perfect spiral to his stepmom. It was then Hedden was destined to be a quarterback with a supportive blended family. His parents and stepparents "made sure I made every tryout. They took me to camps. They helped me meet the coaches I wanted to learn from." And they attended every game, including during his two years at Furman and this season with the Aggies. After a 10-percentage-point jump in accuracy from his freshman season, Hedden entered the portal to "raise the ceiling a little bit" in pursuit of future pro opportunities. NMSU head coach Tony Sanchez's spread attack offered protection (312 pounds an O-lineman) and speedy targets. Slot receiver TK King has been GPS-clocked at nearly 23 mph and laser-timed at 20.74 seconds over 200 meters. "The biggest thing for me is I've got to remember that on game day, he's a little bit faster than he is in practice," Hedden said of King. "When he's running a route, you can throw it out there and he'll turn it on. We talk about it in the meeting room. Go make him run 100 meters to catch the ball." King's average target depth is 21 yards. He has catch-and-dashes of 46, 42 and 34 yards. The Aggies have sets of four and five receivers or up to two tight ends. Running back James Jones has no fumbles or negative-yard rushes in 30 carries. Jones also is an effective blocker who can roll into the flats. Hedden is 80% accurate on screens, hitches and check-down throws. "The quarterback in this offense is really a distributor," Hedden said. "We really focus on the things we're good at, and we repeat those things, and find new ways to do those things every week. It's really been a lot of fun to play in this offense with these coaches."
The Aggies' base is chaos, with shifts, movements and glove-to-glove combat in the trenches and running lanes. "When things get so cranky, like how many blitzes and stunts, it looks like Star Wars to us," weakside linebacker Sone Aupiu said. His first two NMSU seasons, Aupiu played middle linebacker. He moved to will linebacker last year but still trains at all second-tier positions, including jack, the stand-up edge defender. Helped by playing on the narrow side of the formation, Aupiu has freedom to jump lanes. "When it comes to gap schemes, that's what I love," he said. "Coming my way to the boundary, I'm looking to hit 'em." His father grew up in Samoa, his mother in New Zealand, where rugby was the favored sport. He said he aspires to play professional rugby. But for now, Aupiu said, "I chose a different route, which was football. Everybody else on my mom's side chose rugby." Aupiu received a few college offers. But after an official visit to Las Cruces, he decided to be an Aggie. He said he had to adjust to the culture change from Long Beach, Calif., such as green chili served with everything. And to fatherhood — he and his wife have a 3-yea

Brennan's coaches saw it. College football recruiters believed it.
And now, two games into the 2026 season, everyone sees it - junior running back Jayshawn Mitchell is living up to the hype.
Mitchell, a 5-foot-11, 200-pound junior, has 294 yards and six touchdowns on 23 carries for the 1-1 Bears, who are No. 4 in this week's Express-News Power Rankings.
"He's kind of lit up the field and he's very capable and very talented," Brennan coach Steve Basore said. "We knew he was progressing and getting better. He's really started the season with a bang, and I would anticipate him to continue to do some great things and continue on this trend."
In last week's 63-0 victory against Reagan, he had 141 yards and scores from 2, 53 and 57 yards on six carries. He also threw in a 55-yard punt return for a score.

Newcastle United travel to Millwall in the Carabao Cup third round on Tuesday, looking to book a place in the last 16 as they continue an unbeaten start to life under Matthias Jaissle.
A place at The Den is never straightforward for visiting Premier League sides, and the German head coach has already been warned about the hostile reception awaiting his side in Bermondsey.
Jaissle's side head into the tie sitting seventh in the Premier League after four games without defeat, though a place in the fourth round would offer a first taste of cup progress under the new head coach following last month's win over West Bromwich Albion. With a decent gap before Newcastle's next league fixture, Jaissle has options over how far he rotates his side.
Newcastle will be without Dan Burn, Joelinton and Will Osula for the trip to south-east London. Ewen Jaouen is a doubt in goal after rolling his ankle in training on 4 September, with Jaissle saying a decision on his availability will not be made until closer to kick-off. Tino Livramento, who made his first appearance since April off the bench against Bournemouth, is also not yet ready to start; asked directly if he'd be ready, Jaissle replied simply, "No."
Deadline-day arrival Matias Fernandez-Pardo is in line for his first start for the club after joining from Lille. Jacob Murphy, Jacob Ramsey, Bazoumana Toure, Aladji Bamba and Fabian Schär are among those pushing for involvement having had limited game time so far this season, while Sean Steur is likely to return to the side after a positive cameo against Bournemouth. Jaissle said of his selection: "There's always a fine line to make these decisions."

Patrick Surtain II spoke with reporters at the Broncos' facility this week about the version of Patrick Mahomes that Denver will meet at Arrowhead Stadium on Sept. 14, two days short of nine months after the Chiefs quarterback had surgery on his left knee.
Mahomes tore the ACL and LCL in that knee on Dec. 14 against the Chargers, taken down from behind on a scramble, and had surgery two days later in Dallas with Dr. Dan Cooper. He was initially told the recovery would run nine months. He has not missed a practice since being cleared for football work in July, and for the first time in his career he did not appear in a preseason game.

"It's really tough to tell 'cause coming off an injury like that, it's pretty tough, but I don't expect nothing less for him to be himself," Surtain said. "I mean, obviously they might change the scheme up for him a little bit, not allow him to run as much, but like you said, to be more of a pocket passer, which he's good at, so, it's still Patrick Mahomes at the end of the day, so, we still gotta prepare and study for him like the years past, so, we'll be ready."
Mahomes carried 64 times for 422 yards in 14 games last season, and the play that ended his year came on a scramble outside the pocket. Andy Reid has not said publicly how much of that usage he intends to keep, and Surtain named the likely adjustment before Kansas City described one.

Does Milwaukee have the best fans in Major League Baseball?
Yes, with a caveat, says former Cincinnati Reds star Joey Votto.
On the MLB Network show "MLB Now" Sept. 4, Votto praised the Milwaukee Brewers for having the best MLB fanbase, Reds fans aside, of course.
"During the [2010s], I remember quite vividly them not being a strong club, and I remember our team, the Cincinnati Reds, having stretches of not being a strong club and our fanbase wouldn't show up," Votto said.
"But I remember in Milwaukee, consistently they showed up when the Brewers weren't a strong team, and I thought to myself, 'This does not get enough credit. This is a fanbase that always supports their team and will at some point have a strong club and be able to reap the rewards from their consistent effort.'

A Tuesday night in Workington in late August and Joe Riley leads his Warrington Rylands team-mates out for a match at the Fibrus Community Stadium in the seventh tier of English football.
Rylands race into a 2-0 lead in ***** bria before losing 3-2 after having two players sent off in a chaotic Northern Premier League Premier Division encounter played in front of 638 supporters.
"A few years back I wouldn't speak for 24 hours if I lost," says Riley, whose side host Hyde United in the first qualifying round of the FA Cup on Saturday (15:00 BST).
"Now if we lose, it's not ideal, but there's always another game around the corner."
It is 10 years since Riley, then aged 19, started at left-back for injury-hit Manchester United against Danish side Midtjylland in the Europa League at Old Trafford, the same match Marcus Rashford also made his first start for the club.

In a repeat of the Super Bowl from earlier in the year, the Seahawks will be unveiling their champions banner and their new owners.
However, the game at Lumen Field could also provide Jody Allen with one final opportunity to bid farewell to the fans.
The Allen family enjoyed an extremely successful stint in the Pacific Northwest, having guided the Seahawks to two Super Bowl victories.
Although the Khoslas are now officially in place as the new owners, Vinod Khosla has opened the door to Allen making a return just days after the takeover was confirmed.

During the New York Yankees 16-1 win over the Boston Red Sox on Sunday, WEEI radio's Red Sox play-by-play man Will Flemming made some alarming comments about Jazz Chisholm Jr.
Chisholm stole two bases in the eighth inning with the Yankees holding on to a six-run lead. He proceeded to call Chisholm a bush league player and said he does not play the game the right way. He also said that pitcher Jovani Morán should intentionally hit Austin Wells, who was at the plate, in retaliation for Chisholm stealing. Yankees players and fans were rightfully upset, including New York Knicks star Josh Hart.
"Yo (Red Sox) your idiotic announcer got to go," Hart said on X on Monday.
Cam Schlittler, who's never shy about going on social media, later tweeted out seemingly in support of Hart's message.

Sept. 1 (UPI) -- Manchester City agreed to a $169 million deal for Chelsea's Enzo Fernandez.
Sources told ESPN, The Athletic and the BBC about the agreement Tuesday. Fernandez, who joined the Blues from Benfica in 2023, totaled 10 goals and four ****** ists over 36 appearances during the 2025-26 Premier League campaign.
He played for 26 minutes during the Blues' season-opening 3-2 win over Fulham on Aug. 24 in London. He did not play Thursday in a Carabao Cup win over Luton Town or in the Blues' second Premier League game, a 4-3 win over Brighton on Sunday in London.
The 25-year-old totaled two goals over seven appearances for Argentina during the 2026 World Cup. His $169 million transfer fee ties the Premier League record, which was set last summer when Liverpool acquired Alexander Isak from Newcastle United.
Manchester City sits atop the Premier League, at 2-0. The Sky Blues will host Coventry in the third match of their 2026-27 Premier League campaign at 10 a.m. EDT Saturday in Manchester.

Denny Hamlin is entering the 2026 NASCAR Cup Series Chase with one of the best opportunities of his career to finally capture his first championship.
The Joe Gibbs Racing driver will lead the 16 driver postseason field as the No. 1 seed after putting together a dominant regular season. Hamlin officially clinched the top seed following his seventh place finish at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. He enters the Chase with a 25 point advantage over Ryan Blaney.
Hamlin's regular season was highlighted by an impressive three-race winning streak. He picked up victories at Nashville Superspeedway, Michigan International Speedway and Pocono Raceway, establishing himself as one of the strongest drivers in the series heading into the postseason.
Consistency has also been a major reason for Hamlin's success. After 26 regular-season races, he finished with 1,027 points before the championship reset. That reset puts him at 2,100 points to begin the Chase, giving him the largest starting advantage in the 16 driver field.
Now, Hamlin will try to turn that regular-season success into a championship.

After making a strong impression in Ligue 1 and Serie A, Rafael Leão is leaving Europe's top five leagues to move to Turkey.
The now former AC Milan winger has signed for Galatasaray for a transfer fee estimated at €38 million, according to the Istanbul club's statement. The Rossoneri are also said to have secured a 20% sell-on clause.
Long expected to join the Premier League, particularly Aston Villa, Leão was ultimately won over by Galatasaray's sporting and financial arguments.
Voted Serie A's best player in 2022, the Portuguese dribbling specialist joins the growing list of stars who have chosen to move to the Süper Lig this year, including N'Golo Kanté, Romelu Lukaku, Mohamed Salah, Leandro Trossard, and Dušan Vlahović.
Leão leaves AC Milan behind with a mixed legacy: that of a dynamic and likeable forward, but one too often plagued by inconsistency.

After a late scratch of the Rockies' starting pitcher, the Braves were hoping to secure a series win against the Colorado bullpen with Martin Perez on the mound.
The game started slowly, with scattered baserunners but no runs, exactly what you'd expect in a matchup between Martin Perez and the Rockies bullpen in 2026. The Braves loaded the bases with two singles and a walk from the top of the order in the third, but cleanup hitter Mauricio Dubon flied out to end the threat. It wasn't until the sixth that a team got a runner past first base and it was the Rockies. Perez had pitched well through 5.2 innings with 6 strikeouts on 83 pitches, but went walk-single-walk-single to allow the first run of the ballgame and leave the bases loaded. Suter was able to record the crucial out and keep the score at 1-0. Martin was great overall, which makes that sixth even more disappointing, as those were his first two walks of the game.
The offense continued to flounder against the Rockies' pen and Suter got the seventh and was able to work a scoreless frame, as four soft grounders led to a single, double-play, single, and groundout. former Brave Jimmy Herget got the ball for Colorado in the seventh and allowed a swinging bunt single to Harris before there was a game delay due to the home plate umpire being hit in the mask with a foul tip, checked for a concussion, and ultimately replaced.
After the break, Ozzie battled from being down 0-2 and was ultimately hit in the shin pad by a slider, taking first. Yastrzemski produced some karma for the Rockies, as a swinging bunt to the pitcher produced a double-play, leaving Harris on third with two outs for Austin Riley. Austin walked and Lane Thomas got his second plate appearance after pinch-hitting for Dom Smith earlier in the game. Austin stole second to put two runners in scoring position, but Lane struck out looking to end the inning, with Atlanta still looking for that elusive first run. Suter continued to pitch into the eighth and worked another scoreless frame, doing tremendous work out of the bullpen, even as the offense was quiet.
Singles from Olson and Dubon presented another opportunity with runners on the corners and two outs in the eighth for Harris. Money Mike came through with a double off the glove of a diving Colorado outfielder, scoring Olson and Dubon for a 2-1 lead.

Liverpool are about to wrap up one of the biggest deals of the window, with Bradley Barcola set to complete a £123m move to Anfield. A medical is booked, a five-year contract is ready, and the France forward is expected to arrive as the club's marquee attacking signing of the summer.
There is a practical detail that already looks settled too. Barcola is expected to take the No 29 shirt, not the No 11 vacated by Mohamed Salah. That choice is personal, fixed, and by his own admission, non-negotiable.
Several squad numbers are available, including 13, 16, 17, 24, 26 and 27, though Barcola's preference has been clear for some time. In a previous interview, he explained exactly why No 29 matters to him: "It's actually a funny story.
"When I was younger, I used to play FIFA. In the story mode with Alex Hunter, this number became symbolic for me. I thought to myself: 'The day I go pro, it'll be number 29.'
"And here I am, I adopted it, and now I'll never let it go."

It's getting to feel a lot like football season, but basketball news is still rolling in.
Nasir Anderson, one of the top guard prospects in the class of 2027, recently cut his list to just 10 programs, with Indiana being among them. Anderson will chose from the Hoosiers or a group consisting of Kentucky, North Carolina, UConn, Florida, Tennessee, Georgia, Providence, Syracuse and Virginia.
That's still a pretty wide and stacked group of programs, so Indiana still has plenty of work to do in this recruitment, but it's good to be in the game regardless.
Anderson attends Prolific Prep, based out of Fort Lauderdale, Florida. He's rated as a 5-star prospect, per 247Sports, ranking in as the 7th highest-rated prospect overall and 2nd highest-rated point guard in the class. He's also rated as a 5-star prospect by Rivals, ranking in as the 7th highest-rated prospect overall and the 3rd highest-rated point guard in the class.
Indiana already has one commitment in 2027, La Lumiere guard Chase Branham, who's seen his stock rise as time as gone on.

NORMAN — Oklahoma announced its team captains ahead of the 2026 season.
Safety Peyton Bowen, defensive linemen David Stone and Taylor Wein, linebackers Owen Heinecke and Kip Lewis, quarterback John Mateer and offensive linemen Michael Fasusi, Jake Maikkula and Eddy Pierre-Louis were named the Sooners' season captains Tuesday.
Entering his second season at OU, Mateer has cemented himself as even more of a leader and is out to prove he's gotten better. He's fresh off an up and down season in which he broke his thumb and threw for 2,885 yards, 14 touchdowns and 11 interceptions.
On defense, Bowen, Heinecke, Lewis, Stone and Wein are crucial veterans who opted to return. Bowen and Wein were each members of the All-SEC Second Team last season.
Fasusi, Maikkula and Pierre-Louis are three out of the four offensive linemen with starting experience with the Sooners on an offensive line that is expected to be improved. Maikkula will miss time with a "short-term" injury and isn't expected to play in the opener.

Arsenal began the defence of their Premier League **** le in convincing fashion with a comfortable 3-0 victory over newly-promoted Coventry City at the Emirates Stadium.
Kai Havertz and Bukayo Saka put the Gunners firmly in control during the opening 23 minutes before Martin Odegaard added a third shortly after the restart. It was an impressive opening-night performance from Mikel Arteta's side, with summer signing Christos Tzolis once again catching the eye.
Arsenal started brightly in front of a jubilant Emirates crowd and Tzolis was at the heart of much of their best attacking play.
The Greek international went close himself after cutting inside from the left before another effort was cleared off the line by Bobby Thomas.
The breakthrough arrived after 14 minutes, and Tzolis was again involved. He won possession from Milan van Ewijk before finding Riccardo Calafiori, whose pass reached Havertz. The German produced a composed first-time finish into the bottom corner to make it 1-0.

Reinierde Ridder believes his light heavyweight move puts the fun backinto fighting.

He's competed at middleweight during his Ultimate Fighting Championship run so far. However, followingback-to-back losses at 185 pounds, de Ridder committed to the205-pound division after enduring six weight cuts in just over ayear.
Ahead of his UFC light heavyweight debut against RomanDolidze at UFC Sacramento, de Ridder opened up about the difficult weightcuts at middleweight that made the overall experienceunenjoyable.

"It took all the fun out of fighting," de Ridder said at UFCSacramento media day. "I was basically dieting year-round,struggling to get close year-round, so it was time."

The Dutchman said his body began showing the effects of repeatedcuts, particularly after his first-round fight with BrendanAllen left him exhausted.

"I think that was just too much," de Ridder added. "It basicallypushed my body way too far."

The move to light heavyweight has allowed de Ridder to train andeat without the same restrictions. He also recently joined American Top Team, where he regularly trains with largerfighters. The former two-division OneChampionship ***** leholder is eyeing a top-ranked opponent if hebeats Dolidze.

"If I do well this weekend and I can get a spectacular finish, nextone is going to be Top 10 for sure," he added.
