| | | | Lacking defense, Magic ‘have to be aggressor’ when trip continues at Utah | UCF remains in mix for NCAA tourney with critical stretch ahead | Buccaneers stay in-house, promote Josh Grizzard to offensive coordinator | | | | Jamahl Mosley’s squad went 4-11 in January and are below .500 for the first time since early November. | | | | | The second-year Magic guard will join rookie Tristan da Silva and two-way guard Mac McClung at the event during All-Star weekend out West. | | | | | Girls basketball playoff preview: After winning three consecutive state titles with current Georgia standout Trinity Turner leading the way, Dr. Phillips' girls basketball has struggled but hasn't given up hope. Lake Highland Prep has five consecutive FHSAA titles but is also no longer favored. | | | | | In the Metro Conference girls wrestling meet, Freedom rolled to the title while local boys hoops winners included Montverde, Osceola and Wekiva. In Class 1A Competitive Cheer state finals, Foundation Academy won its fourth straight state title. | | | | | In a game where Montverde Academy didn't lead until the 3:36 mark of the fourth quarter the Eagles rallied to pull out a 62-55 win against previously-unbeaten Calvary Christian (14-1) of Fort Lauderdale to reach the final of its own tournament on Friday night. MVA will face CIA Bella Vista in final. | | | | | The Knights need a strong finish to the regular season if they want to make the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2018-19. | | | | | The team's 34-year-old pass-game coordinator will become the Bucs' fourth offensive coordinator in as many seasons under head coach Todd Bowles but will provide the continuity the team was seeking. | | | | | On Friday, the Bucs denied permission to Coen and the Jaguars to interview assistant offensive line coach Brian Picucci. | | | | | The Jaguars (4-13) ranked 31st in yards allowed (389.9 a game) and 28th in points (25.6 a game) in 2024 under first-year defensive coordinator Ryan Nielsen. Nielsen was fired along with coach Doug Pederson | | | | | Quarterbacks weren't impressive at the Senior Bowl. Jaxson Dart and Dillon Gabriel were decent, but that's about it. Neither seems ideal for the Dolphins. | | | | | Miami is bound to bring back its defensive coordinator as the Saints are set on their head coaching candidate. | | | | | Sanders, 57, played five seasons, won a Super Bowl and was a three-time first-team All-Pro defensive back with the Cowboys from 1995-99. | | | | | Among 30 non-roster players invited to camp are six of their most promising prospects, all of whom finished last season at Double-A Montgomery. | | | |
