| | | | Magic's Banchero to make All-Star debut | Daytona 500 offers multiple dynamics | UF men's basketball wins; UCF and FSU lose | | | | Magic forward Paolo Banchero has grown as a playmaker in his second season. It's part of why he's playing in first NBA All-Star game Sunday. "I've grown by really reading the game and realizing where my opportunities come from night in and night out," he recently told the Sentinel. | | | | | The Golden State star and NBA's all-time 3-point king beat Ionescu 29-26 in the Steph vs. Sabrina competition at All-Star Saturday night, the first such him-vs.-her event of its kind at the league's weekend showcase. | | | | | Boys wrestling district titles were won by Ocoee, Osceola and Harmony, while Leesburg won the Class 2A Traditional and Olympic state titles. | | | | | The Yellow Jackets outscored second-place New Smyrna Beach 30 points to 24 in the Olympic style competition, which includes the snatch plus the clean & jerk techniques; and topped the Barracudas 29-26 in the Traditional lifts (bench press and clean & jerk). | | | | | If Bubba Wallace could become a champion while driving for a 23XI race team co-owned by the iconic Michael Jordan, it would be the biggest thing to hit NASCAR since MAGA hats, camo beer huggies and deer antler bottle openers. | | | | | "You can have the fastest race car, the best handling car, you can have perfect strategy, you can have flawless pits stops and all it takes is one driver to make a bad move and it ends your chances," said Larry McReynolds, a former Daytona 500-winning crew chief and Fox Sports analyst. | | | | | Dale Earnhardt Sr. needed 20 tries at the Daytona 500 to reach Victory Lane in 1998. When Dale Earnhardt Jr. got his opportunity, he was ready — only by then Dale Sr. was gone. | | | | | The Gators (18-7, 8-4 SEC) won for the seventh time in eight games. | | | | | Poor shooting early on put the Knights behind by double-digits throughout most of the game before rallying to tie the game in the final minute, only to lose in heartbreaking fashion, 76-74, to visiting Cincinnati on Saturday. | | | | | Florida State (13-12, 7-7 ACC) has lost 3 straight and 5 of 6. | | | |
