No seniors, no problem: Sidwell Friends repeats as ISL basketball champions
The young Quakers were thrust into leadership roles, entrusted to live up to the expectations that come with playing for the Northwest Washington powerhouse. It took patience and hard work for a naturally quiet group to grow in those positions, but Sidwell still held their own and entered the postseason with just three losses: a defeat to nationally-ranked Etiwanda (California) and two losses to an emerging Bullis team, their opponent in Sunday's title game.

'One of the best players in the world, ever!' - John Terry bizarrely comments on Luka Modric's move to AC Milan as reporters corner Chelsea legend at airport
Terry hails Modric Midfielder set to join Milan Labelled 'one of the best players in the world' WHAT HAPPENED? Terry was stopped at an Italian airport as he prepared to fly home from a party in the country, having linked up with fellow former Premier League players Bobby Zamora and Steve Sidwell. On his way into the building, journalists stopped the ex-Chelsea captain to get his take on Modric's move to Milan. Advertisement THE BIGGER PICTURE THE BIGGER PICTURE The Croatia international has already said his goodbyes to Madrid after a trophy-laden 13 years at the Bernabeu in which he won the Champions League a staggering six times. He also won La Liga on four occasions, and Terry says the former Tottenham midfielder is one of the "best players in the world, ever". WHAT TERRY SAID Terry told the gaggle of journalists: "He's one of the best in the world, he still has many, many years to play I'm sure. '(He's a) fantastic person, like I said, one of the best players in the world, ever. Great for Milan for him to sign." Asked what Modric would bring to Milan, Terry replied: 'I think the experience he has in world football, obviously a big name coming into a fantastic club, one of my favourite clubs in Italy. So yeah, he's just a world class player that can bring a little bit of experience as well, maybe at a time when Milan need it.' WHAT NEXT? WHAT NEXT? Terry is heading back to England while Modric is on his way to Italy, with the latter set to receive a hero's welcome upon his landing.

Hometown Hero – Will Haggerty, Moses Brown
PROVIDENCE, RI (WPRI) — This week's Cardi's Furniture & Mattresses Hometown Sports Hero is Will Haggerty. The Moses Brown Sophomore has struck out 66 batters in 44 innings, with an ERA of 1.91 while also leading Quakers starters with a .352 batting average with 19 hits. Haggerty is also third on the team with 9 RBIs, as they try to make a push in the RIIL Division I playoffs. 'On the mound he does an incredible job,' said Moses Brown Head Coach Kyle Warren. 'He has an incredible work ethic for all the pregame and postgame and all the off season work that he does and so he came in and was an excellent arm for us as a Freshman, you know I would argue that he's one of the best arms in the state as a Sophomore competing against the top teams in the state.' Haggerty's growth was aided by a strong Summer with his New England Scorpions Travel Team and his Fall with the Dirtbags National team based in North Carolina. 'It was super fun, meeting a lot of different guys, playing at the highest level of baseball for my age group,' Haggerty said. 'And just that experience it helps me up here but also helps me understand where I need to get and how I can improve as a baseball player.' Will is set to play for the Scorpions again this Summer on the Local and National levels, and a strong Summer is important for his future. On August 1st, College Coaches can reach out to him directly to talk about their programs. 'I try not to think about it, but of course it happens, especially at the games when you see guys radaring me and talking to my Travel ball coach, but I mean it's August 1st. I'm definitely looking forward to it. I'm definitely looking forward to what my future holds for me, and it should be a fun day.' 'The work ethic that he has, he's going to continue to get better,' Warren said. 'We saw despite how good he was as a Freshman, we've seen a jump in his abilities from Freshman to Sophomore year, so I think that over the next two years, he's going to be one of the best arms in the State and helping us compete with the best in Division I.'

Seems to be a recurring theme.' A year ago, St. Albans captured its third straight boys' team title with Sidwell finishing runner-up. West's team was keen on turning the tables Thursday at the Southeast Tennis and Learning Center and accomplished the feat, sweeping the boys' and girls' team titles.
