Lifeguards, firefighters and San Diego park rangers then “strategically widened the hole carefully so as not to further trap the teen,” Muñoz said. The teen, who was buried up to her chest, with her arms above the sand, was awake and calm during the rescue process. The teen was freed from the sand hole after about 15 minutes and was released to a parent of one of her friends after being evaluated by medical personnel. SDFD lifeguards do not recommend digging holes beyond 3 feet deep, Muñoz said. Beachgoers who do decide to dig holes are advised to…

The Basketball Gods smiled upon the Los Angeles Lakers and awarded them the second overall pick in Tuesday night’s Draft Lottery. L.A’s pick was only top-three protected and they only had a 46.9 percent chance of landing in the top three. Had they fallen to the fourth or fifth pick in the draft it would have conveyed to the Philadelphia 76ers. On this episode of the LN Podcast, Trevor Lane and Corey Hansford break down what ended up being a night to remember for fans of the purple and gold. Now that they have the pick, what will the Lakers…

Former Milwaukee Bucks guard Patrick Beverley now has a new home, but it’s not in the NBA. After twelve seasons stateside, Beverley is heading back overseas to play for Hapoel Tel Aviv BC of the Israeli Basketball Premier League and EuroCup Basketball, as he announced himself on his podcast: Beverley spent the first three seasons of his professional career out of Arkansas playing in Greece and Russia before landing a multi-year deal with the Houston Rockets in 2013. After five seasons in Texas, Beverley was traded to the Los Angeles Clippers in the Chris Paul trade. This would be the…

Dallas Mavericks star guard Kyrie Irving underwent surgery, the team announced Tuesday evening. The procedure is to repair a broken left hand. He sustained the injury while training earlier this month. Irving took to X on Tuesday night to express his thanks to those who wished him well and his intent to rest and recover. “Tribe, Thank you for all the messages and prayers. GOD truly knew that I needed to take a break from Basketball after the long season and give myself some time to heal,” he wrote. “I am in love with getting better at my craft, but…

Hiring a first-time head coach will naturally lead to a host of challenges, especially with two stars and veterans like Anthony Davis and LeBron James on the team. In bringing in Redick, the Lakers are almost certainly banking on a good bit of collaboration between coach and stars. Perhaps the first signs of that came in Redick’s presser when it was revealed that Redick had a conversation with AD after his interview with the franchise. The bigger sign of that, though, came from AD himself. Speaking to the media at the start of Team USA training camp, Davis shared his…

The 2024 NBA Summer League starts Friday in Las Vegas and Bronny James headlines the talent in Friday’s slate of games. Alongside first-round pick Dalton Knecht, James — the No. 55 overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft out of USC — will lead the Los Angeles Lakersinto their Las Vegas Summer League lid-lifter vs. the Houston Rockets at 7:30 p.m. ET inside the Thomas & Mack Center.

OMAHA, Nebraska — Jesse James Pulley started his first round of chemotherapy the day the ballplayers visited. The 9-year-old had just been diagnosed with Stage III Burkitt lymphoma, and everything was new and terrifying. Upon hearing the news of her son’s cancer a week earlier, Leann Pulley blacked out. June 4 was the day Jesse met Kirby Connell and Zander Sechrist at the East Tennessee Children’s Hospital, three days before the Tennessee Volunteers played in super regionals. Sechrist is a starting pitcher on the No. 1-ranked Vols; Connell is one of the most popular people in Knoxville with his big…

The Toronto Maple Leafs goaltending situation leaves a lot to be desired. The Toronto Maple Leafs needed to finally pair Auston Matthews with one of the best goalies in the world, but that didn’t work out as Jacob Markstrom went to the Devils and LInus Ullmark went to the Senators, while Jusse Saros re-signed with the Nashville Predators. So instead, they decided to hand the keys to Joseph Woll and back him up with Anthony Stolarz. It’s a bet I don’t like because Woll is just too injury prone, but the Leafs do have some insurance by having the best…

Coach Tony Vitello has been named the Most Valuable Coach of All Time, a well-deserved accolade that highlights his transformative impact on the Tennessee Volunteers baseball program and collegiate baseball as a whole.

Vitello’s tenure at Tennessee has been marked by remarkable achievements, including multiple NCAA tournament appearances and a College World Series berth in 2021, the team’s first since 2005. His strategic acumen, combined with an unparalleled passion…
