Softball Recap: Mapleton picks up tenth straight win at home
Mapleton entered their tilt with Dalton with two consecutive wins but they'll enter their next game with three. They skirted past the Dalton Bulldogs 5-4. For Dalton's part, Ava Fivecoat was a force to be reckoned with on the mound despite the final result: she struck out seven batters over six innings while giving up just two earned (and three unearned) runs off six hits (and only one walk). Fivecoat has been consistent recently: she hasn't pitched less than six innings in nine consecutive pitching appearances.

As in a 21-run, 21-hit, mercy-rule walloping by the Division IV top-seeded and host Titans over the 16th-seeded and visiting Bobcats —as Notre Dame actually combined for a three-pitcher no-hitter, with the Bobcats just having two total baserunners.

'We've had this thought in our mind': Mogadore girls track wins 1st league title since '71
MOGADORE — The Mogadore girls track and field team won its first league title in 53 years Friday.

PGA CHAMPIONSHIP '24: Justin Thomas gets rare experience playing a major in his hometown
Justin Thomas was back home in Kentucky for an occasion different from any other time in Louisville. The city honored him with its “Hometown Hero” award, and a 60-foot banner was unfurled from the building he used to pass on the way to Saint Xavier High School. Thomas was so choked up at the presentation he couldn’t speak until he eventually said, “The things I’ve felt today, I’ve never felt in any golf tournament I’ve won.” This was a week before the best golfers in the world — one of them a Louisville native — arrive for the PGA Championship at Valhalla. It’s rare for a player to have a hometown major in a city that doesn’t have a steady diet of championship golf. Thomas is curious how he will respond. He is a two-time PGA champion, winning at Quail Hollow in 2017 and Southern Hills in 2022, which also was his last victory as he continues to work his way back into form.
