MENDHAM — Lexi Alofs can barely remember when draw controls were not part of her game. She started taking the draw to jump-start play in third grade with Steps Lacrosse, alongside teammates like Cristiana Laracca and Shea Shoulberg.
Not much has changed. Those same girls were at her side as Alofs won nearly every draw control as Mendham defeated Sparta, 17-6, to win the NJSIAA Group 2 North trophy.
The top-seeded Minutemen move on to the overall Group 2 final at 1:30 p.m. on June 13 at The College of New Jersey.
LAS VEGAS – Alessandro Costa met the media Saturday after his win over Matt Schnell at UFC Fight Night 278.
Costa (16-5 MMA, 4-3 UFC) pounded out Schnell (17-11 MMA, 7-9 UFC) with a first-round TKO to close out the prelims at the Meta APEX in Las Vegas. Schnell announced his retirement the day after the loss.
Costa and Schnell first were supposed to fight in September 2024, but Costa had to pull out. Schnell fought and lost to Cody Durden on short notice – and nearly retired after that setback, which would have left Costa without the chance to fight him.

Ethan Woodie of NFL Trade Rumors recently named some potential landing spots for free-agent cornerback Rasul Douglas. And among the top three possible suitors are the Panthers, who may need some additional depth behind Jaycee Horn and Mike Jackson.
Woodie writes:
Douglas wouldn’t replace Jackson or Horn as starters, but he’d be an immediate upgrade over [Chau] Smith-Wade in the slot if the coaching staff wants to play him there.

The GM made a point to note how Gilgeous-Alexander does not fit into the stereotypes about NBA players in the modern era, but he has become the latest target of the “machine” of criticism aimed at players.
