High school scores and top performers from Thursday, Dec. 26 • Dave Hyde: There’ll never be another like Jim Larrañaga in South Florida sports
Sentinel Sports Final Friday, December 27, 2024 | | |
| | | | | The Magic should have their 20th victory, which is astounding considering all the missing pieces. They were done in vs. the Heat, however by turnovers and 3-point shooting. But rookie Tristan da Silva is proving to be a steal at No. 18. Hitting on that pick is harder than getting it right in the lottery. ... Jim Larranaga has had enough of NIL and the nonsense created by the NCAA's failure to police itself and called it quits at Miami. It's not the players ' fault. It's the grown ups in Indianapolis who get paid a lot of money to sit on their hands and wait for Congress, which has bigger fish to fry, to make decisions for them. So question: What's the purpose of the NCAA and why does it still exist? Why are players allowed to transfer before bowl games? The season isn't over? How does that make sense? It doesn't. | | | | The Magic only shot 5 of 29 from 3 and turned the ball over 23 times, leading to 25 points for Miami in a one-point loss Thursday night. | | | | | On the first day of a busy basketball holiday tournament weekend, local boys winners included Innovation, Windermere and Harmony. Girls winners at the Florida Prospects event were Windermere Prep, Horizon, Oak Ridge, Lake Mary and Dr. Phillips. | | | | | Miami's veteran basketball coach took program to Final Four and Elite Eight in recent years. But something wasn't right in this new world and he resigned Tuesday. | | | | | All eyes were on Magic All-Star Paolo Banchero following Thursday's shootaround before facing the Heat at Kia Center. He missed his 27th game | | | | | To keep momentum going, the Hurricanes will have to get past a team that, like Miami, was on the doorstep of the College Football Playoff. The Cyclones reached the Big 12 championship game, where a win would have secured an automatic berth into the field. Instead, they lost 45-19 to Arizona State. | | | | | More Dolphins players (48) are heading into free agency than the team has under contract (35) when the offseason begins. | | | | | Hurricanes basketball coach Jim Larrañaga is expected to step down on Thursday, according to multiple reports. He took Miami to its first-ever Final Four. | | | | | Tyreek Hill has had his worst of three seasons in Miami, and is trying to reconnect with QB Tua Tagovailoa over the final two weeks of 2024. | | | | | Indiana, SMU, Clemson and Tennessee were all sizable underdogs in their first-round road games, and all proved they weren't up to the task of competing on the big stage. | | | | | Whether Stamkos is on the move or not before the March 7 trade deadline remains to be seen, but there should be one inescapable truth for anyone who watched him play in Tampa Bay for the better part of a generation: He deserves better. | | | |
