Prep talk: Receiver Darren Haggerty of Viewpoint shows off his athleticsm
Darren Haggerty of Viewpoint High is an example of a football player who's going to benefit from showing what he can do in track and field.

Quarterback Luke Fahey led Mission Viejo to the championship of the Millikan seven-on-seven tournament, beating San Diego Lincoln in the final. San Juan Hills won the tournament at Dana Hills and Charter Oak took its own tournament title. …

Spurs CEO breaks silence amid new arena negotiations
The post Spurs CEO breaks silence amid new arena negotiations appeared first on ClutchPoints. As the City of San Antonio moves forward with new arena plans for the San Antonio Spurs, recently elected mayor Gina Ortiz-Jones is still calling for a strategic pause in search of more information. The potential Spurs home is tied to what's been dubbed Project Marvel – a proposed sports and entertainment district that would prominently sit downtown. Spurs, Sports & Entertainment CEO R.C. Buford released a statement ahead of a scheduled vote by City Council on whether to negotiate within a framework of terms. 'We're pleased to take this next step in the process, which will ultimately give the voters the opportunity to decide on the arena project this November,' Buford continued while alluding to an eventual possible citywide vote. 'As part of the proposed term sheet, the Spurs' total commitment will be $2.1 billion. What has been consistent throughout this process is our commitment to ensure no tax impact on San Antonio families and our assurance to cover 100% of any and all construction cost overruns.' The term sheet is at the heart of the debate led by Mayor Jones-Ortiz, who was elected via runoff in early June. 'From our very first conversations with city leaders, this has always been about more than a venue,' Buford added. 'It's about building a place that fosters opportunity, creates lasting memories and ensures San Antonio continues to thrive for generations to come.' The contents of the Spurs' terms Mayor Ortiz-Jones continues to adamantly state that the city does not have enough data for an initial vote among elected local representatives, citing that the firm that conducted the economic analysis has ties to a Spurs ownership partner. Amid those claims, the Spurs, who've called the Alamo City home for more than 50 years, released details on their commitments included in the proposed nonbinding agreement. Among them: -$500 million Spurs direct contribution toward the $1.3 billion arena cost -Spurs cover 100% of any and all cost overruns -$1.4 billion Spurs guarantee, alongside private developers, in private development projects to create jobs and enhance family entertainment opportunities -$75 million Spurs Community Benefits Agreement over the 30-year lease term -$2.1 billion total Spurs commitment all-in (arena contribution, overruns, private development guarantees, and community benefits) -No cost to San Antonio homeowners or renters – because the financing structure doesn't rely on property taxes or even sales taxes -No money diverted from the city's general fund -$489 million City contribution -$311 million County contribution The Spurs organization added that their commitments have grown in a few areas and that they're excited to reinforce the strength of their investment in San Antonio and Bexar County. The five-time NBA champions add that the changes reflect the progress made once all parties, including themselves, City staff, and the County had the opportunity to work together at the negotiating table. The franchise maintained that it's a collaborative process that's allowed each group to contribute in earnest and with due diligence to shape the framework of the term sheet. It's a project going on three years in the making. The Spurs state they look forward to continuing a transparent process with City Council and community and view the term sheet as an important step toward the shared goal of creating a vibrant downtown that will benefit the entire community. 'We're grateful to the San Antonio City Council, City Manager Erik Walsh, Judge Peter Sakai, and the Bexar County Commissioners for the time and commitment they've invested in this process,' Buford concluded. 'Their leadership has been invaluable in helping us reach this milestone, and we look forward to continuing this work together on behalf of the people of San Antonio and Bexar County.'

Cardiff fear for 'pretty serious' Tanner injury
Cardiff City fear that winger Ollie Tanner could be facing a long spell on the sidelines after suffering an ankle injury in their 1-0 win at Wimbledon on Tuesday night. The 23-year-old, who has only recently signed a new four-year contract, collided with an advertising board just before half-time and had to be carried off . "It was an ankle injury, it didn't look a good incident and it's not an insignificant injury, it looks pretty serious," said Cardiff manager Brian Barry-Murphy. "We'll scan it tomorrow [Wednesday] and reassess from there, but he's on crutches at the moment and will be going to hospital." Tanner was hurt trying to prevent the ball going out for a goal kick. "In this moment he'll regret going for the ball but that's the natural instincts of a player of his qualities to go for the ball and never give up on it," Barry-Murphy added. "There's no point looking back, from this moment onwards we'll look forward to help Ollie in every way we can, and make sure he has a speedy recovery to get back as soon as possible." Cardiff's win, which continued their unbeaten start under new boss Barry-Murphy, came late courtesy of Isaak Davies' 92nd-minute winner and kept Cardiff second in League One as they chase an immediate return to the Championship.

6 Chiefs won't practice on Tuesday; Steve Spagnuolo weighs in
Ahead of their practice at their home facility at the Truman Sports Complex on Tuesday, the Kansas City Chiefs listed six players who would not take the field due to injury or illness: linebacker Jack Cochrane (knee bruise), offensive lineman Ethan Driskell (appendectomy), safety Mike Edwards (hamstring), cornerback Nazeeh Johnson (shoulder), defensive tackle Omarr Norman-Lott (ankle) and wide receiver Jalen Royals (knee). Late Monday afternoon, Kansas City placed defensive end Felix Anudike-Uzomah on the Reserve/Injured list. Even though he is practicing, cornerback Kristian Fulton has yet to play in a preseason game as he recovers from offseason knee surgery. 'Well, the unknown is Kristian right now because we haven't had him out there,' said defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo. 'Jaylen [Watson] has missed some time, and now we've got [Johnson], who is a little dinged up. More than any group on the defense, that back end has to have a lot of continuity, and that comes with reps. So with a couple of different moving pieces, there's a little bit of concern there, so hopefully we can start to gel that together.' The Chiefs play their final game of the 2025 preseason against the Chicago Bears at home on Friday at 7:20 p.m. Arrowhead Time. Chiefs head coach Andy Reid has already confirmed that the starters will see playing time.
