The @Towson_MBB point guard said a promise he made to his mother continues to resonate.
“I held her hand, I kissed her forehead, and I said, ‘Everything I do with basketball, I’m going to go hard for you,’” he said. “So everything I do is for her.”

Jessica O’Donnell, who grew up in Pasadena and played softball at the IND, said a Sports Illustrated article that outlined the allegations was “completely one sided, contains a lot of false information, and was published without a proper investigation being completed.”
A former UMBC softball player is no longer in contention for a coaching job at Maryland after allegations surfaced that she mentally abused players at Kent State and Saint Francis and pressured them to compete despite injuries, in some cases allegedly worsening their conditions — accusations she denies.
Jessica O’Donnell, 38, who grew up in Pasadena and played softball at the Institute of Notre Dame, the Community College of Baltimore County at Catonsville and the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, disputed the allegations in a text exchange with The Baltimore Sun.

Whether it was allowing Howard to rally from a 20-6 deficit or committing 14 penalties for 110 yards, the ending left @MSUBearsFB coach Damon Wilson frustrated.
“We didn’t execute,” Wilson said. “They outplayed us in the end.”

Final-Howard 26, Morgan State 20
On fourth-and-19 at the Bison's 34, DE Ishaun Abdul-Ali hit Bears QB Cameron Edge, and his pass was intercepted by DB Ben Chandler IV, who returned the pick 87 yards for the game-winning score.
Howard (4-4, 1-0 MEAC) wins over Morgan (5-3, 0-1).
End of Q4-Howard 20, Morgan State 20
The Bison crossed midfield, but on first down-and-10 at the Bears' 37 with 0:11 left and zero timeouts, QB Isaiah Freeman rushed six yards up the middle, and Howard could not set up for a field goal before time ran out.
Heading to overtime.
Q4, 3:09-Howard 20, Morgan State 20
QB Isaiah Freeman led the Bison on their second touchdown drive in a row, capping the series with a 4-yard touchdown pass to RB Billy Roberson III.
Roberson III carried the ball four times for 45 yards and caught the game-tying touchdown.
Q4, 7:46-Morgan State 20, Howard 13
The Bison went 43 yards in seven plays and scored their first touchdown of the game on QB Isaiah Freeman's 2-yard keeper off right tackle.
Freeman is the third QB to get snaps in the game after Ja'Shawn Scroggins and Terrell Russell Jr.
Q4, 13:26-Morgan State 20, Howard 6
The Bears marched 67 yards in eight plays with Cameron Edge finding Alex Simmons for a 14-yard touchdown pass.
And that's the first Morgan State drive without a penalty in the last six possessions.
Q3, 4:48-Morgan State 13, Howard 6
On third down-and-9 at the Bison's 36, Bears WR Joseph Towler turned a short comeback into a 36-yard catch-and-run down the right sideline for the game's first touchdown.
The penalty tracker for Morgan State is up to 11 for 75 yards.
During that series, TE Nick Williams was cited for holding, which negated an 8-yard carry by Keith Jenkins Jr. on first down-and-10 at Howard's 35.
Morgan State has nine penalties for 60 yards.
Q3, 10:07-Morgan State 6, Howard 6
Bears kicker Alex Amaya lined up for a 44-yard field goal, but pulled it wide right.
Even if he had made it, the field goal would have been nullified by Amaya moving before the ball was snapped.
The Bison will begin at their own 26-yard line.
Penalties have been the running theme of the first half.
Morgan State has incurred eight infractions for a loss of 50 yards.
Howard has been penalized four times for 32 yards.
Q2, 0:59-Morgan State 6, Howard 6
The Bison tied the score on Matt Conord's 27-yard field goal.
They thought they scored a touchdown on a 40-yard run by backup QB Terrell Russell Jr., but CJ Neely was flagged for holding.
Q2, 14:11-Morgan State 6, Howard 3
The Bison took advantage of John Washington III's 56-yard kick return and got a 38-yard field goal from Matt Conord.
Q1, 2:13-Morgan State 6, Howard 0
After the defense stopped the Bison on fourth down-and-1 at their own 40, the Bears could not move closer than the 6.
Alex Amaya converted a 28-yard field goal, his second of the game.
Q1, 9:30-Morgan State 3, Howard 0
After Malique Leatherbury returned a punt 14 yards to the Bison 27-yard line, the Bears settled for a 42-yard field goal by Alex Amaya.
That field goal is the longest of the season for Morgan State.
Kickoff at 3 p.m. between Howard (3-4) and Morgan State (5-2) in a MEAC opener at Hughes Stadium in Baltimore.
The Bison seek their third win in the last four games.
The Bears hope to rebound from last week's 25-16 loss at Tennessee State that ended a four-game win streak.

Of the six Major League Cricket teams, one has its own home venue. Building a facility makes sense to @WSHFreedom GM Rohit Anand.
“Every team needs that for the fanbase to get excited, and without having a home field, you don’t have that,” he said.
