Magic wrap up 3-game road trip at 76ers in high stakes contest • High school scores and top performers for Thursday, April 11
 Sentinel Sports Final Friday, April 12, 2024 | | |
| | | | | If you want to get a laugh out of OJ Simpson beyond Mike Bianchi's spot-on take, go on YouTube and search a compilation of Norm Macdonald's "news" reports on Saturday Night Live -- a chain of brutal takedowns week after week that led to his firing because his boss was a close friend of The Juice. ... The Magic had a shot at the No. 2 seed but those hopes are gone. No shame in losing to the Bucks, or even the Sixers tonight, but losses to the Hornets and Rockets buried them. A top 6 seed will have to be good enough. ... QBs will be on display for spring football. UCF's spring game is at 7 tonight and KJ Jefferson takes center stage after transferring from Arkansas to replace John Rhys Plumlee. Florida plays at 1 on Saturday, and while they'll have an incumbent QB (Graham Mertz) all eyes will be on freshman/QB of the future DJ Lagway. ... Bryson DeChambeau opened at 7 under at The Masters, and Tiger Woods' start could add another layer of excitement to what's ahead this weekend. | | | | O.J. Simpson didn't die as one of the greatest athletes of all-time; he died as one of the most infamous accused murderers in American history. | | | | | A victory by Orlando would clinch a top 6 seed in the East. Getting back Franz Wagner also would help in that quest. | | | | | Flag football district winners included Timber Creek, Ocoee, St. Cloud and Boone, while Dr. Phillips and West Orange won girls and boys water polo regional matches. Hagerty won girls and boys lacrosse district games, while TFA won in boys lacrosse. | | | | | Following a 5-7 season that ended on a five-game losing streak, the Gators have remade their roster, adding 30 newcomers, 12 of them transfers, and three assistant coaches. | | | | | After completing more than a dozen practices, coach Gus Malzahn and the Knights are set to exhibit their hard work during the annual spring football game at FBC Mortgage Stadium. | | | | | O.J. Simpson, the football star and Hollywood actor who was acquitted of charges he killed his former wife and her friend in a trial that mesmerized the public and exposed divisions on race and policing in America, has died. He was 76. | | | | | Bryson DeChambeau opened with a 7-under 65 to take the early lead in the Masters on Thursday. It was some long-awaited validation for the once-brash, always-outspoken player, who once proclaimed his power had rendered Augusta National a par-67 layout rather than par 72. DeChambeau had just one round in the 60s at the Masters since those comments in 2020. He began Thursday with three straight birdies and closed with five birdies in his last seven holes. Afterward, DeChambeau admitted that par-67 comment was a mistake, perhaps a sign that he has matured as much off the course as on it. | | | | | Some of those heartwarming pictures were transformed into decals and will adorn the players' helmets when they take the field at FBC Mortgage Stadium for today's spring game. | | | | | The biggest struggle for the Pride (0-0-3, 3 points) has been converting midfield dominance into attacking results. Two of Orlando's four tallies have been own goals, leaving Summer Yates and Marta as the only outright goal scorers. | | | | | The right-hander, who pitched parts of 11 seasons in the majors, including five with the Rays, missed 2023 while recovering from shoulder surgery. | | | | | NHL points leader Nikita Kucherov had two assists for the Lightning to give him 98 this season as he looks to join Wayne Gretzky (11 times), Mario Lemieux (once) and Bobby Orr (once) as the only players with 100 or more assists in a season. | | | | | Tiger Woods can still draw a crowd. And the way he started the Masters on Thursday, there seems a good chance the patrons will get to cheer him on through the weekend. | | | | | What we know (and still want to know) about the minutes from a special Jan. 12 ACC meeting. | | | |
