Throwing TD passes, Quinn Schambow thought about a state title. In baseball, he and Libertyville have a shot.
Schambow, an Oklahoma State baseball recruit who threw 52 touchdown passes during the 2024 football season, crossed the plate on junior designated hitter Carson Holmes' single, giving the Wildcats a 2-0 lead after the teams played seven scoreless innings.
Lockwood allowed only an unearned run in the bottom of the eighth. He scattered five hits, walked three and struck out seven for Libertyville (35-4), which will play either McHenry or Brother Rice in the state championship game at 7 p.m. Saturday.
The Wildcats will make their third appearance in a state final with a chance to win their first title.
'That was the goal coming into the year,' Schambow said. 'That's the goal in any sports.'

Kansas State got called out for shameless Yelp review stunt
Kansas State looks to compete for a Big 12 title in 2025, but it will have to hope that its offense, led by returning quarterback Avery Johnson, will be a bit slicker than its social media team. The Wildcats found themselves in some hot water on X (formerly Twitter) on Friday when it posted a graphic bragging about its stadium — Bill Snyder Family Football Stadium — and its supposed five-star rating on Yelp. The graphics even included what seemed to be excerpts from reviews praising the game day atmosphere. While Manhattan, Kansas, is surely a lovely place to take in a college football game, the K-State social media account quickly found itself in some hot water when sleuthy fans (and later, a community note) called it out for apparent shenanigans. You see, there was one problem with the reviews referenced in the graphic: They all came from the same review, posted by a single individual. Fan theorists quickly speculated that the review itself had been planted by the athletics department, with the intent of sourcing it for the graphic. While that would have been absolutely hilarious, it doesn't seem to be the case, as the user in question — Doug F. — seems to be a real individual and was posting reviews for unrelated businesses on Yelp as early as 2015. Funnily enough, Doug F. seems to have exclusively given five-star reviews on his Yelp account. Even if Kansas State didn't intentionally plant the review, however, it still seems to have been caught red-handed using it misleadingly. Yet another example of the fact that there is truly nothing quite like college football. This article originally appeared on For The Win: Kansas State caught by fans for shameless Yelp review stunt

Spurs' Carter Bryant honors family member with jersey number selection
.@carterdbryant is a gamer, on and off the court 🏀 🎮 | @spurs Rookie Carter Bryant will begin his career in the NBA with the San Antonio Spurs with a new jersey number after wearing No. 9 as a freshman last season at Arizona. Bryant wore it in various events before joining the Wildcats, such as the McDonald's All-American Game and the Pangos All-American Camp. He was forced to change it upon joining the Spurs, with it retired to honor Hall of Famer Tony Parker. The 14th pick also wore a few other numbers, though each one was taken on the team. He opted to go with No. 11, which is the same number his uncle wore. "I wanted nine," Bryant said. "Obviously, Tony Parker has nine retired. (De'Aaron) Fox has four. Steph Castle has five. Dylan (Harper) got two. I was a Kawhi fan, so I was trying to get the two. Vic (Wembanyama) got one, so then I went through all of the numbers I liked and which ones looked good. My uncle ended up wearing No. 11 playing pro volleyball overseas, so I went with 11." Bryant helped the Wildcats to the Sweet 16, averaging 6.5 points, 4.1 rebounds and one assist on 37.1% shooting from 3-point range. He scored in double figures five times, including a season-high-tying 14 points, three rebounds, two steals and two blocks on Jan. 27. The 19-year-old logged six appearances with the Spurs in summer league, averaging 7.3 points, 4.2 rebounds, 1.7 blocks and 1.2 assists on 28.6% shooting from the field. He wrapped up his stay with a 16-point, five-rebound performance on July 17. Bryant has ingratiated himself well within the local community after volunteering at a couple of events this offseason. The team was excited to add him and is eager to watch him hit the court. Note: Throughout August, Rookie Wire is looking at every first-round pick and why each player selected their respective jersey number as they make the jump to the NBA.
