A veteran of both the high school and collegiate hoops scene, Reno succeeded longtime skipper Ron Rowe last winter and guided the Hornets to a stellar season. The Hornets powered their way to an overall record of 19-5 and advanced to the District 2 Class 4A semifinals before suffering a heartbreaking loss to Valley View. Six seniors return from that squad, a fact that has Reno champing at the bit for the start of the 2025-26 campaign.

Raphinha didn't bother to sugarcoat his words. On the eve of a high-stakes clash against Chelsea, the FC Barcelona winger finally let loose the frustration he'd bottled up for so long, addressing the media head-on. "You journalists should be giving me explanations" I deserved much more. Yes, I felt undervalued," he declared, visibly affected by a season where, in his view, individual accolades failed to reflect his true level. The Brazilian nonetheless fully accepts the team's collective responsibility: "As a team, we failed in the Champions League. I don't control individual awards." But he emphatically stands by the quality of his 2024-2025 campaign, which…...

Duke's Darian Mensah was fantastic, NC State's CJ Bailey was razor sharp, and now it's Gunner Stockton's turn. Georgia is getting better fast in a whole slew of ways, but it's been the emergence of Stockton as one of the nation's hottest passers that's made a huge difference. Brilliant in the win over Ole Miss and fantastic against Texas, he is turning into the type of quarterback who could be the reason the Bulldogs win a national title. And against Georgia Tech, it takes a baller who could hold his own because " There but for the tough losses to NC State and Pitt…...
