49ers signing pair of veteran pass rushers after successful workouts
The San Francisco 49ers continue to struggle to keep their players on the field, as they placed defensive end Bradlee Anae on injured reserve on Wednesday, which will end his 2025 season before it even begins. With a hole in the edge defender room, the 49ers held workouts on Wednesday for a trio of veterans - Keshawn Banks, William Bradley-King and Demone Harris. According to KPRC2's Aaron Wilson, San Francisco is signing Bradley-King and Harris. Bradley-King, 27, played collegiately at Arkansas State from 2016-19, earning All-Sun Belt honors twice before transferring to Baylor for his final season. The Washington Commanders (then Football Team) took him in the seventh round (No. 240 overall) of the 2021 NFL draft. He spent parts of three seasons in Washington, two with the New England Patriots and one with the Miami Dolphins, recording seven tackles and a half-sack in four career games (all with Washington). Harris, 29, spent his college career at Buffalo from 2013-17, earning All-Mac honors once. He signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as an undrafted free agent in 2018 and has since spent time with the Baltimore Ravens, Kansas City Chiefs (winning a Super Bowl), Houston Texans and Atlanta Falcons. In 23 career games, he's recorded 22 tackles (three for a loss), four quarterback hits and two passes defensed. With wide receiver Malik Turner taking Anae's spot on the roster, the 49ers will have to make two more moves before they can officially bring in Bradley-King and Harris. Before these two transactions, their edge defender group consists of Nick Bosa, Mykel Williams, Yetur Gross-Matos, Bryce Huff, Robert Beal, Sam Okuayinonu, Jonathan Garvin, Trevis Gipson and Jaylon Allen.

Fired high school basketball coach sued by ex-star after hair-pulling incident
A former upstate New York high school women's basketball player has filed a lawsuit against her former coach and school district after the coach pulled her hair earlier this year, according to the Daily Gazette. Hailey Monroe, a senior at Northville High School in Northville, N.Y., at the time of the incident, alleges in a lawsuit filed Monday that fired coach Jim Zullo had 'a reputation and history of inappropriate, aggressive and dangerous conduct' toward his players, which the school had been notified about, per the report. '(The district) had been made aware of and knew of defendant James Zullo's propensity to be inappropriately aggressive towards players on the Northville girls' basketball team, including (Monroe), and had a long history of both physical and psychological abuse of students both in and out of the Northville Central School District,' the lawsuit reads, according to the paper. 7 Zullo grabs Monroe's hair. Monroe reportedly is seeking unspecified damages with the lawsuit, claiming she 'has been substantially damaged and suffered a monetary loss.' The shocking situation unfolded in March during the NYSPHSAA Class D championship game when Zullo pulled Monroe's ponytail after a 43-37 loss to La Fargeville and then yelled at her. 7 Zullo pulls Monroe's hair. @therobbieharvey/X Monroe, the school's all-time leading scorer, appeared to be crying at the moment, and a teammate stood somewhat between her and Zullo, as seen in the game's broadcast. Zullo continued to yell and point at her before he chided the other player. 7 Zullo yelling at Monroe. @therobbieharvey/X Zullo told that Monroe cursed at him after he told her to shake hands with the other team. 'I deeply regret my behavior following the loss to La Fargeville Friday night in the Class D state championship game,' Zullo later said to WNYT. 'I want to offer my sincerest apologies to Hailey and her family, our team, the good folks at Northville Central Schools and our community. As a coach, under no circumstance is it acceptable to put my hands on a player, and I am truly sorry.' 7 One teammate gets between the pair. @therobbieharvey/X He added, 'I wish I could have those moments back. I am grateful for the opportunity to have coached girls' basketball at Northville the past two years, especially last season, which was a difficult time for our family.' A broadcast of the game captured the shocking moment, and the school fired Zullo. 7 Zullo continues to yell at Monroe. @therobbieharvey/X 7 Jim Zullo. @TommyVtine116/X 'The Northville Central School District is aware of, and deeply disturbed by, the conduct of the Coach of the Girls' Varsity basketball team during the Class D New York State championship game. We hold our coaches to the highest standards of professionalism, sportsmanship, and respect for our student-athletes, and this behavior is completely unacceptable,' the school said in a statement, per CBS6. 'The District is committed to ensuring that this type of behavior has no place within our programs, and we will continue to uphold the values of respect and integrity that our athletes, families and community expect and deserve. This individual will no longer be coaching for the Northville Central School District.' 7 Hailey Monroe. @TommyVtine116/X Monroe's family lodged a complaint with Hudson Valley Community College officials — the host of the game — leading to the 81-year-old Zullo being charged with second-degree harassment, per the outlet. He reportedly pled guilty last month, resulting in a one-year ban from contact with Monroe and a $120 surcharge. His attorney previously told the paper that Zullo moved to Florida. 'He was obviously in the wrong at that moment,' attorney Robert Abdella told the Daily Gazette, 'but it should be nothing more than a footnote to what was a great career.'

Parents 'hopeful but skeptical' after news Waterloo's Elizabeth Ziegler will be shuttered for 2 years
Parents are concerned after news Elizabeth Ziegler Public School (EZPS) in Waterloo will remain closed for at least two years. The updated reopening date of the school is now set for September 2027, according to an update posted the school's website on July 22. Previously, messaging from the Waterloo Region District School Board (WRDSB) was that the expected reopening would be in September 2026. EZPS parent Ian McDonald said the extension wasn't much of a surprise. "I am hopeful but skeptical it will be ready by September '27," he said in an email to CBC News. "My daughter is entering Grade 4 at Sandowne, and is unlikely to see Ziegler again before she graduates to MacGregor Senior Public School," he added. The nearly 100-year-old school building was originally shut on March 4 when a large piece of concrete fell from the facade. The closure was, at first, for just two days, then two weeks, and then it was announced it would be closed for the rest of the school year and into the next. Of the over 500 students at EZPS, some will be relocated to portables but most will attend other schools in September, like Sandowne Public School. Sandowne's enrolment in the 2023-2024 school year was about 240 students. The influx will bring that school's student population up into the high 600s, according to the Waterloo Region District School Board (WRDSB). "I also have concerns about two full school years of not just overcrowded, but I mean like more than double capacity," said Dave Earle, whose two children attended Elizabeth Ziegler before the closure. "We're going to have to deal with two big moves," Earle said. "One to Sandowne and if they're there for two years then they'll have made friends … and they'll have to break all those to come back." Earle is concerned the increased student population at Sandowne will result in less time for things his kids find important. "Last year when we finished the school just in portables, they had no library time, they had no assemblies," he said, "It was just whatever they could do outdoors." But Bill Lemon, WRDSB's director of business services, says they've built portable infrastructure for Sandowne to accommodate the number of students who will be attending next school year. Sandowne's website also says, "the building and property have the capacity to support more than 700 students. This includes the outdoor space for nutrition breaks and athletics, the building's washrooms, plumbing and electrical capacity." Lemon said the decision to extend the closure another year comes after the board received its detailed engineering and architectural report back in June. "We got some clarity with the engineer's report and with the schematic drawings," Lemon told CBC News. "Based on the work that was needed for the restoration, we now had some concrete tasks that needed to be completed. With the work, alongside our architect and our own facility services people, we were able to build a construction timeline," he said. The revised timeline means construction is now expected to begin in early 2026 and finish in the summer of 2027, Lemon said. That would leave a short window for the board to prepare the school for students before the start of the fall term. Lemon said the size of this project classifies it as a capital project and that the board approached the ministry of education for next steps and funding opportunities. Lemon said the conversation was "productive" but the ministry did not commit any additional funding for the restoration. Instead, the board plans to cover the costs from its own capital budget over the next two years, a move Lemon says could mean adjusting other school board projects across the region. The building's heritage designation is also adding to the complexity. Lemon said some features, like the masonry work, need to be restored to look original, which requires special contractors. Pre-qualification for those contractors is already underway, said Lemon, and the board hopes to begin tendering those early this fall. The board says it will provide regular updates as the project moves through design, tendering and construction.
