How likely is it that the 48-team brackets be cut to 32? Or that boys volleyball and girls flag football are sanctioned? Or a shot clock gets approved for scrimmages and showcases? My answers: highschoolot.com/story/blake-ho…



Not a good trend for high school lacrosse in NC 🥍6 boys teams who played a full season in 2025 did not return in 2026 🥍at least one more boys teams did not finish the 2026 season and forfeited out 🥍4 girls teams who played a full season in 2025 did not return in 2026 The growth of the sport was soaring in the last decade, but feels like it's topped out. Maybe when it's an Olympic sport (well, Lacrosse Sixes that is) it'll set off a new growth movement. 118 schools in the NCHSAA play boys lacrosse 102 schools in the NCHSAA play girls lacrosse

Parents, I promise you this: Whatever gossip, drama and opinions you’re living in right now with other parents about your kids, the coaches or the team, it’s so unimportant in the long run and the grand scheme of things. Change your attitude Change your outlook Change your negativity Because you’ll look back when it’s all over and regret that you didn’t just sit back and enjoy watching them grow up and mature while ⚾️ taught them solid life lessons! #BaseballTruth







Here's what may have led to Cody Ware's spin coming to the white flag: He got in the wall with ~12 to go struggling on old tires Cody's last stop was with ~65 to go, so his team was running very long to the finish and Cody was the "freest I've been all day" as it progressed. Then, he slapped the wall in Turn 1. "The car finally got me. It's been stupid free this whole run. I don't know if it can hold on." Cody asked a little later if they made an adjustment on their last stop. The 51 crew took two tenths of air out of their left rear, "only because we're going so long." The right rear, of course, finally let go as the leaders were getting ready to take the white flag. "I think the right rear finally gave up." "10-4. Do you think it just blew, or do you think you had one going down?" "No, it blew ... We were driving off the right rear that whole run. I mean, it was terrible. We were stupid free that whole run." Bad timing for the leaders and it also ruined Cody's race. He had been on the same lap as Kyle Busch and competing for position with the 8 car on that last run.
