Natick sweeps away talented Brookline squad in volleyball

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 13:56:01 GMT

BROOKLINE – Notch another significant Bay State Conference win onto Natick’s belt.Despite a scrappy display from No. 13 Brookline (5-3) to challenge early in each set Thursday afternoon, the No. 2 RedHawks (5-1) used heightened discipline to close out every frame en route to a 3-0 (25-14, 25-15, 25-22) sweep over a notable fellow conference power. Their 6-2 system worked wonders once again, with setters Harrison Landry (21 assists) and Branch Barnes (15 assists, 10 kills) finding the right hitting options to never trail in a set.Much of that came when it mattered most, as an 8-2 run over the final 10 points of the first sealed the 1-0 match lead, an 11-2 run late in the second provided critical separation to go up 2-0, and a 5-1 run at the end of the third sealed the victory.Natick now has wins over the Warriors and No. 3 Newton North, hoping to keep pace with No. 1 Needham despite falling to the two-time defending state champions in a competitive affair before April vacation.“We sn...

Mike Preston: Lamar Jackson got his deal. Now it’s time to mend relationships and shape his Ravens legacy. | COMMENTARY

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 13:56:01 GMT

Now, the fence-mending must begin.The Ravens and quarterback Lamar Jackson agreed to a five-year contract extension worth a reported $260 million with $185 million guaranteed on Thursday, making him the highest-paid player in the NFL in terms of average annual salary.That’s too much money for a player who has just one playoff victory in five years and will make it difficult to invest in other positions, but the Ravens apparently believe Jackson is in the same stratosphere as Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts, who signed a $255 million contract on April 17.The only difference is that Hurts led Philadelphia to the Super Bowl in February before losing to the Kansas City Chiefs. But that’s all behind everyone now, and so is Jackson’s request for a trade and a fully guaranteed deal.The hardest jobs belong to Ravens coach John Harbaugh, who has to develop chemistry and create some harmony in the locker room again after a drama-filled saga, and to Jackson, who has become one...

Dansby Swanson hits his 1st home run as a Chicago Cub in a 5-2 victory against the San Diego Padres, clinching a winning April

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 13:56:01 GMT

The small-market San Diego Padres have a $249 million payroll, much more than the $188 million the big-market Chicago Cubs spent on players.The Padres lineup at Wrigley Field on Thursday included three players with contracts more than $280 million and another in Juan Soto who should command $400 million or more when he arrives at free agency after 2024.The Cubs, meanwhile, had one player in their lineup with a contract of $177 million and aside from Dansby Swanson no players with deals of over $86 million.But in the battle of the big West Coast spenders and their more frugal Midwest rivals, the Cubs came out with a 5-2 win before 26,588 on a cool but comfortable afternoon at Wrigley Field.The Cubs ended their seven-game homestand against the Los Angeles Dodgers and Padres, two of the National League preseason favorites, at 3-4. They improved to 14-10 with their fifth series win over the last six and clinched a winning record for April with three games remaining.“At the end of ...
