If there’s one thing everyone should have learned over the past decade when it comes to girls basketball locally, it’s to never count out Cathedral. The Panthers lost nine key contributors from last year’s squad, but proved that they still belong with the top teams in the Commonwealth on Monday. Senior guard Keyona Raines turned in her latest highlight performance, finishing with a double double of 19 points and 13 rebounds as Cathedral (11-8) captured the Jim Grady championship with a convincing 52-34 victory over previously undefeated Woburn (19-1) at the IAABO Board 27 Comcast Tournament. “I think our tempo…
The Boston Celtics, sitting in second place in the Eastern Conference, have enjoyed a surprisingly strong campaign this year, despite the fact that Jayson Tatum has not suited up for a single game. That is largely due to the play of his partner-in-crime, Jaylen Brown. In his first season acting as the Celtics’ de facto No. 1 option, Brown has taken his game to another level. In 49 games, Brown is averaging 29.3 points, 6.9 rebounds and 4.7 assists per game while shooting 48.3% from the field, numbers that helped him earn the fifth All-Star selection of his career. Once…
Roman Anthony will have plenty on his shoulders this upcoming Boston Red Sox season, and the budding superstar arrived in Fort Myers prepared to carry the load. Anthony showed up to spring training with noticeably more muscle on his 6-foot-3 frame. After flashing MVP potential as a rookie last season, he’ll be counted on to supply much of the power for a Red Sox lineup that isn’t expected to hit many balls over the fence in 2026. ZiPS projects the Red Sox will be the only MLB club without a player hitting 20-plus home runs next season. Anthony, Trevor Story,…
By JULIA FRANKEL CORTINA D’AMPEZZO, Italy (AP) — The curling drama at the Winter Olympics sent the sport’s governing body scrambling to address a growing controversy and curb conflicting accounts of rule-breaking. The backpedaling came less than 24 hours later. A day after World Curling ramped up monitoring of the matches, it pulled the plug, saying umpires would retreat and be available on request but not by default. The move came after a quick meeting between national curling federations and World Curling on Sunday in which curlers expressed dissatisfaction with the increased surveillance. Athletes wanted less monitoring, not more. Why…
During this past week’s run of press comments from members of the Red Sox organization at Fenway South (including Sam Kennedy, I’m sure you know what I’m talking about), catcher Carlos Narváez got some glowing reviews.Manager Alex Cora noted that Narv/Narvi/The Narv did a great job exceeding expectations in 2025, per Gabrielle Starr the Boston Herald, while being “banged up” the entire time. Red Sox Hall of Famer and current team staff member Jason Varitek commended him for his preparation and mindset in the clubhouse. Cora himself ordained him as the team’s starting backstop, a call that was all but…
INGLEWOOD, Calif. (AP) — Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown disputed the City of Beverly Hills’ claims after an event he hosted on the eve of the NBA All-Star Game was shut down because the city said it lacked a permit.“I’m offended by Beverly Hills, by the statement they put out, like we applied for something and didn’t get it, and we did it anyway (and) we were insubordinate,” Brown told ESPN after the game Sunday. “I know how to follow the rules. I’m smart enough to follow the guidelines.”Hours earlier, Beverly Hills released a statement to The Boston Globe, saying it rejected…
The Miami Dolphins made some major changes on Monday. Miami reportedly started shedding salary with the release of two of its three highest paid players: wide receiver Tyreek Hill and defensive lineman Bradley Chubb, according to NFL Media’s Tom Pelissero. Hill, 31, is recovering from season-ending knee surgery and now will be an unrestricted free agent for the first time in his career — with the eventual move making it possible for the eight-time Pro Bowler to join his third team after somewhat messy endings with the Kansas City Chiefs and Dolphins. Chubb, 29, was an obvious cut candidate after…
By TIM REYNOLDS, AP Sports Writer CORTINA D’AMPEZZO, Italy (AP) — Monday would have been a fantastic day for fishing in Jamaica. The weather was just about perfect with bright sunshine, forecasters calling for temperatures in the low-to-mid 80s, somewhat calm breezes. Under normal circumstances, Shane Pitter probably would have been on the water. He was on frozen water instead at the Milan Cortina Games. Jamaica’s next chapter of bobsled history is being written, and at the forefront of the story is the 26-year-old Pitter — someone whose “real job” is being a fisherman, and someone who has gained quite…
