Pride find missing piece with signing of Zambian scoring machine via record transfer fee • Journeyman Justin Lower joins the mix at star-studded Arnold Palmer Invitational
 Sentinel Sports Final Friday, March 8, 2024 | | |
| | | | | The Arnie is underway, and it won't get any easier than the first day which provided ideal conditions. Except Rory McIlroy couldn't find his groove. ... The Pride have made their move, bringing in a striker who is expected to open up a dormant offense and get them to the postseason. ... The Magic are catching the Knicks at a good time, reeling and desperately trying to hold on to a top 6 seed. They can sweep the season series with a win at MSG but also strengthen their grip on the East where it's going to come down to the final week of the regular season. ... The 7A boys basketball final four is loaded in FHSAA play, and Oak Ridge is just one of the Orlando area teams competing at RP Funding Center. This arguably could be the most loaded, must-see set of games with major D-I players everywhere on rosters, including the sons of former NBA standouts Carlos Boozer (All-Star + All-NBA) and Jason Richardson (lottery pick + two-time Slam-Dunk champ back when that title actually meant something). ... Tyreek Hill is realizing that he needed Pat Mahomes more than Mahomes needed him. He won two Super Bowls minus Hill. But why is Hill comparing his current quarterback with the Dolphins (Tua) to his ex? That never goes over well. He might not catch his first pass until Week 10. | | | | How long will tournament sponsors and the TV networks continue to pay the Tour billions if LIV keeps plucking away one or two stars a year? Likewise, how long will LIV Golf continue to invest billions into a product that nobody watches or cares about? | | | | | Despite the eye-watering numbers, Barbra Banda may have flown under the radar for casual fans. GM Haley Carter believes that the exposure she will receive with Orlando will only help elevate her game as well as the team to the next level. | | | | | Ireland's Shane Lowry leads the Arnold Palmer Invitational, but journeyman Justin Lower and Japanese star Hideki Matsuyama sit a shot back. | | | | | Orlando can create space in the East against the banged-up Knicks, but winning in Madison Square Garden will be no easy task. | | | | | Nationally ranked Oak Ridge has three major college signees and brings at least more more D-I prospects to this week's FHSAA 7A boys basketball tournament. That makes Pioneers the most talent-ladened boys basketball team in Orlando area history. But Oak Ridge is not the favorite. | | | | | Edgewater, without a senior starter, held Punta Gorda Charlotte to 20.8% shooting and won its Class 6A boys basketball semifinal in a low-scoring game. The victory adds to the tradition for a program that will play in its sixth FHSAA state championship game on Saturday. | | | | | Howard said he frequently talks to Houston left tackle Laremy Tunsil, the Dolphins' first-round pick in 2016, and Howard, a Houston native, said playing for the Texans would be good. | | | | | Tampa Bay deals a third-round pick and prospect defenseman to add scoring depth. Anthony Duclair, a 28-year-old who will be an unrestricted free agent at the end of the season, has 16 goals and 11 assists in 56 games with San Jose. | | | | | With two of last year's starters heading to the NFL and one missing spring camp due to injury, several new Hurricanes offensive linemen have a chance to showcase their skills. | | | | | Wekiva ended its girls basketball season Thursday afternoon in the FHSAA Class 6A state semifinals at Lakeland's RP Funding Center. The deep playoff run for the Mustangs came just one year after going 2-19. | | | | | Tampa Bay is tied for the first wild-card position in the Eastern Conference with Detroit, but the Red Wings have two games at hand. | | | | | The star receiver has been known to compare his present and past QBs. In a podcast appearance, Hill indicated Tua Tagovailoa could stand to communicate better if he took Patrick Mahomes' approach. | | | |
