Prep talk: Joshua Sur gives lift to Corona baseball team
Corona High's 10-0 baseball team team is filled with stars, so it's hard for any unsung players to break through. Senior outfielder Joshua Sur is doing just that.

Steve Adams reportedly agrees to three year, $39 million extension to stay with Houston Rockets
The best evidence of how much Steven Adams came to mean to the Houston Rockets came in the fourth quarter of Game 4 in their playoff series against the Warriors: Steve Kerr employed the hack-an-Adams strategy, in part to get him off the court. Golden State didn't have an answer for him on the glass and kept trying the strategy the next few games (with not much success). Adams will remain with the Rockets on a three-year, $39 million extension, a story broken by Shams Charania of ESPN. This is a good deal for the Rockets, the $13 million a season average price tag is below the mid-level exception for next season. With a few teams looking for a quality center, larger offers may have been available to Adams on the open market. Also, it's not yet known if the third year of this contract is fully guaranteed. This contract could ultimately set the market for other veteran backup centers, such as Al Horford. Rockets GM Rafael Stone traded for Adams during the 2023-24 season, knowing he would be out for the remainder of the season but seeing him as a fit as a backup center this season. Adams had to be brought along slowly, but as his minutes ramped up his value to this team — particularly on the offensive glass and setting strong picks — became evident. By the end of the season, coach Ime Udoka was playing a double-big lineup with Adams and Alperen Sengun for stretches. Adams didn't put up big counting stats — after the All-Star break he averaged 4.3 points and 6.3 assists a game in almost 16 minutes a night — but his value to the team was clear. Now the Rockets have locked up their guy for the coming years.

UFL championship game live updates: TV channel, live stream, how to watch
UFL championship game live updates: TV channel, live stream, how to watch Show Caption Hide Caption Greg Olsen talks Tight End University and what he's excited for in the 2025 NFL season Greg Olsen stops by to talk about another year of Tight End University and who he's excited to watch as the NFL season inches closer. Sports Seriously The United Football League will crown its champion for its 2025 season on Saturday. The Michigan Panthers and DC Defenders will square off for the right to hoist the UFL championship trophy. Neither the Panthers nor the Defenders have won a championship in the modern era of spring football. Michigan won a title during the original USFL days in 1983, but the current Panthers are technically unrelated to that team and have not appeared in a championship game since the 2022 USFL reboot. Meanwhile, DC only came into existence ahead of the 2020 XFL season and lost its lone championship game appearance in 2023 to the Arlington Renegades. Mike Nolan's Panthers enter the championship sporting the UFL's highest-scoring offense and are fresh off a 44-29 USFL conference championship game win over the three-time reigning spring-league champion Birmingham Stallions. Dual-threat quarterback Bryce Perkins was named the UFL's Offensive Player of the Year and will be asked to continue to lead Michigan's offense to success, alongside bruising running back Toa Taua. Shannon Harris' Defenders are coming off a stellar defensive effort against the St. Louis Battlehawks in a 36-18 XFL conference championship win. They are spearheaded by quarterback Jordan Ta'amu, who led the UFL in touchdown passes and will rely heavily on their top-ranked passing offense to match Michigan's output. USA TODAY Sports is tracking all the action from St. Louis as the Panthers and Defenders battle for the UFL championship. Below are the updates and highlight plays from the game. UFL EXPANSION TIMELINE: Why spring league is exploring new cities, teams UFL championship game start time Time: 8 p.m. ET (5 p.m. PT) The Michigan Panthers vs. DC Defenders UFL championship game will kick off at 3 p.m. ET on Sunday, June 8 at The Dome at America's Center in St. Louis.
