From the moment four-star quarterback CJ Cypher and four-star offensive tackle Kweli Fielder started playing football at 7 years old, they’ve been teammates. And that isn’t changing any time soon. The cousins, who currently star at Carrollton (GA) High School , are both taking their talents to the next level at the University of Miami. “We already wanted to go somewhere together,” Cypher told USA TODAY Sports. “And then Coach Dawson and Coach Cristobal made that easy for us to just make that decision quickly.” Cypher, the No. 1-ranked quarterback in the Class of 2029, and Fielder, the No. 8-ranked offensive tackle in the Class of 2028, committed to Miami in June.

Rust, peeling paint on a dough flattener at a Miami bakery without valid permit

People washing their hands without soap as fruit flies hovered in the kitchen area were among the many problems a state inspector recently found at a Miami wholesale bakery. Another problem at Victoria Bakery, which works out of a commercial area off Northwest 27th Avenue in Allapattah: no valid food permit. The Oct. 26 inspection by Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services inspector Edilma Leidecker said “the food entity does not have a registration with the FDA.” “The food entity is operating without a valid food permit. As stated by the manager, they have been processing at this location for the past three months,” the report said. In the inspection’s comments section , Leidecker noted the food permit application had been submitted. Other issues: “During the inspection, live fruit flies were observed in the kitchen area where unused, soiled equipment, including a stove, grills, and ovens, were stored.” There was “a heavy accumulation of old food, peeling paint, and rust on the dough flattener machine used to flatten the dough in the production area.” Leidecker hit the dough flattener with a Stop Use Order for “unsanitary equipment.” Also, there were “an open, damaged, torn and wet bag of yeast
