Never seen anything like this. What is wrong with people? And the coach high five’s you? Sad.

YOU’RE NOT GONNA BELIEVE THIS ONE OUT OF ALAMEDA… OF COURSE THE JUDGE DID THIS California strikes again. An Alameda County judge just ruled that Cedric Irving Jr. the man who admitted to the targeted shooting murder of legendary East Bay football coach John Beam (featured in the Netflix documentary Last Chance U) inside his office at Laney College last November is mentally incompetent to stand trial. After four psych evals, the judge says he needs mental health treatment instead of facing a jury for murder. Coach Beam is gone. The killer confessed. And California’s justice system just hits pause.

Simeon Birnbaum's 3:31.69 on Saturday was the third time the NCAA 1500m record has been broken in the last 15 months. Remember Yared Nuguse's solo 3:34.68 NCAA record in the ACC prelims? That was less than 5 years ago and is now #15 all-time. letsrun.com/forum/flat_rea…

The QB offer market is complicated to say the least. We verified the 2026 cycle across all 67 Power 4 schools and found 1,104 school-side QB "Official" offers. From our count, there were only 31 actual high school QB roster spots given. That is roughly 36 offers for every 1 real spot. And 39 of the 67 schools took zero high school quarterbacks. That is the first reality families need to understand. An "official" offer has value. It reflects evaluation and access. But it is not the same thing as roster allocation. The second reality is just as important. Many schools may still be acting in good faith when a QB board changes late. The problem is that quarterback recruiting is now one of the most volatile markets in football. A staff can genuinely like a quarterback in October. Then in December a coordinator leaves. A current QB stays. A transfer becomes available. A decommitment happens somewhere else. NIL priorities shift. The room changes. The board changes. Sometimes the literal night before signing day. That does not always mean the offer was fake. It means quarterback recruiting is a one-spot problem inside a moving market. That is why families cannot confuse interest with certainty. The serious question is not just, “Who offered?” The serious question is, “Who still has both the need and the willingness to give one of their very limited quarterback spots to you when the market tightens?” That is why QB recruiting is not a volume game. It is an alignment game. Offers matter. Timing matters. Roster structure matters. Development matters. Command matters. When the board starts moving, the quarterbacks who survive are usually the ones staffs feel most comfortable protecting. Visibility helps, but alignment is what turns recruiting attention into a real opportunity.

Moorpark athletic director Rob Dearborn has been voted President Elect of the Southern Section.

Great job to those who voted. This is a great move from the CIF Southern Section, in my opinion.

The Arcadia Invitational drew a record crowd over two days at Arcadia High of more than 14,000.

Way to go, LA28, you locked Angelenos out of a party taking place in our own backyard. Good column from @LorraineAli on the frustration so many of us felt over the city’s horrible local L.A. presale for the ’28 Olympics: latimes.com/california/sto…

1991 Chicago Bulls lifting on game day 😤 Back when most thought it was crazy. The Bulls knew better: morning weights kept them strong, physical, and fresh through the long season + playoffs. MJ & Scottie didn’t skip it. Neither should you. In-season lifting = non-negotiable

Jim Abbott: el hombre que redefinió lo imposible. ​Nacido sin la mano derecha, Abbott no pedía excusas. Su técnica era pura maestría: lanzaba y, en un movimiento fluido y casi irreal, se calzaba el guante para fildear. No era un truco, era genio.

This gives you a better idea of how hard it is to play at the next level. That’s not meant to discourage anybody. If that’s the goal for you or your athlete, go chase it. But the value isn’t just in the outcome. It’s in what that pursuit demands of you… Better practice or

@CoachDearborn Amazing when we get our athletes from other sports on our track teams. 39 🔥

Jane Hedengren's sensational freshman year continues at the Stanford Invite. The 19-year-old set the NCAA 5k record of 14:44.79 in her first collegiate indoor track race. Now in her first collegiate outdoor track race (and 10k debut), she runs 30:46.80 to break the NCAA record.

🤯 Quelle course à Lille. Jimmy Gressier signe un nouveau record d'Europe du 5km en 12:51 à 2 secondes seulement du record du monde !! Yann Schrub, troisième en 12:56, bat aussi l'ancien record d'Europe (12:57).

ARTEMIS II🚨: In the mission, the 4 astronauts will travel 400,000 km from Earth, which would be the farthest any human has ever gone in all of humanity.
