WJCC Schools announced on Monday the school division is allowing high school athletes to compete in varsity sports.

By Elsie A. Dotson 2 months ago

J.K. Dobbins had an incredible rookie season for the Baltimore Ravens, emerging as one of the best running backs in a star-studded rookie class.

By Elsie A. Dotson 3 months ago

Bowling is more than a sport for Julia Skowron.

“It’s stress release,” the New Boston Huron senior said. “You can chuck the ball at the pins and they don’t talk back.”

During these trying times of a coronavirus pandemic, stress release is more important than ever.

So there was plenty of smiles and lots of joy as the high school winter sports season finally got started in the Monroe County with a pair of bowling matches Monday at Monroe Sport Center.

Expect Houston to open training camp, season, with Westbrook and Harden on roster

The Houston Rockets have been exploring options for trading All-Star guard and former MVP Russell Westbrook, who has reportedly asked out of Houston. There also has been some reported kicking of the tires of a James Harden trade to his preferred destination of Brooklyn, although that has been more player-driven (Harden’s and Kevin Durant‘s camps) than by the teams.

Don’t be surprised to see Harden and Westbrook as Rockets’
