Boxers deliver standout performances across three days of action
TWO boxers from Blackbird Leys ABC delivered standout performances across three thrilling days of action at the Ed Bilbey Box Cup in Grantham. Senior middleweight Jamal Franklin, 19, and youth welterweight Yousef Elmgraif, 17, represented the Oxford club. In the quarter-finals, Franklin was drawn against the highly-rated Tommy Naismith from York. Over three intense rounds, Franklin displayed sharp technical ability, adapting to his opponent's style and forcing a standing count in the final round. Franklin's dominance was reflected in a unanimous decision victory, setting the tone for a strong weekend. READ ALSO: Great and good pay tribute to former U's youth chief Elmgraif began his campaign against Nauman Ilyas of Solihull. Using his range and dynamic level changes, he overwhelmed his opponent, delivering three standing counts and forced a stoppage in the third round. Day two brought fresh challenges. Franklin faced local veteran Nathan Wallace (34) from Grantham ABC in the semi-finals. Despite Wallace's cut from the previous day reopening early in the bout, Franklin controlled much of the action, effectively evading wild charges while landing cleaner shots. In a result that surprised both corners, the bout was awarded to Wallace on a split decision. Elmgraif's semi-final saw him matched against Hayden Lloyd of Touch Gloves Grantham. Lloyd's style was no match for Elmgraif's relentless pressure and composed aggression, and earned another unanimous decision to book his place in the final. On finals day, Elmgraif faced Aidan Perry of White Rose Boxing Club for the Youth Class B under-67kg title. Undeterred by Perry's height advantage, Elmgraif worked both head and body with relentless forward pressure, again securing a unanimous decision and taking home the gold medal.

Visiting Lady Panthers advanced to Final 4 past Hammond, Canton
Jun. 8—It was a great day for two Panther bands to advance to this weekend's New York State Final Four at the St. Lawrence University Softball Complex on Saturday. Undefeated Section 7 Class D champion Crown Point downed Hammond 13-1 and Section 2's number one state-ranked Class B Champion Chatham advanced past Canton 14-2. Advertisement CLASS D Undefeated Section 7 Champion Crown Point (10-0) continued its heart-warming story ending the game by the 12-run rule in the sixth inning. "This has been an amazing season for us. My son Jeff passed away during the season and our team wasn't together on the field a lot and had to play a lot of games back to the end. He was a great athlete at Crown Point and he was very close to the team. Especially our pitcher Kaitlin Ross. We have been dedicating our games to him," said Crown Point Coach Mike Ross. "Today everything just fell into place. Jeff wore number 13, Kaitlin wears 13 and we had 13 runs and 13 hits. Advertisement Ross struck out sixth in a four-hitter and walked only one defending a lead created by four runs in the fiirst inning and five in third. Addison Hurlbutt rapped a triple and two singles, Makenna Muson triipled and singled, Raegan Thomas singled three times, Briana Duprey singled twice and Margaret Benway and Ross singled for the eighth ranked Panthers. Th Red Devils played good defense led by catcher Addy Graveline who scooped up or blocked any number of potential wild pitches with runners on base, threw out a runner at secondbase on a steal attempt and turned over a bases loaded double play with pitcher Makia Green. "Addy did a great job behind the plate. We didn't have a good hitting day and they got key hits. We didn't walk people all season but today with had 10 walks, that was way too many."

Minnesota softball sensation racking up unreal strikeout totals
Minnesota softball sensation racking up unreal strikeout totals originally appeared on Bring Me The News. There's a softball pitcher in Minnesota who is putting up jaw-dropping numbers, and there's a very high likelihood that she'll shatter the state record for career strikeouts by the time she graduates from United South Central High School in 2026. Mariah Anderson is a 5-foot-3 superstar who has led her team to the Class A state championship game, and she'll be on the mound for Friday's 6:30 p.m. title tilt against Badger/Greenbush-Middle River. Anderson is 24-1 this season with 388 strikeouts in 170 innings, according to MNSoftballHub. She has 20 shutouts and seven no-hitters, including three perfect games. A stunning 76% of the outs recorded when she's on the mound have come via strikeout. Anderson pitched a five-inning perfect game against Blackduck in the first game of the state tournament, and she followed later that night in the semifinals with a 20-strikeout, two-hit shutout against Braham. According to MNSoftballHub, Anderson struck out 403 batters as a sophomore last season. How accurate are those stats? It's not really clear because the Mankato Free Press reported on May 19 that she had 293 strikeouts over 124 innings, and she's struck out 109 batters in 47 innings since. If that's accurate, she's up to 402 for the season. Either way, it certainly appears to be a state record. The single season record, per the Minnesota State High School League, was 341 by Aubrey Quern of Dassel-Cokato in 2024. Anderson is also sprinting towards the career strikeouts record in Minnesota. In the May 19 athlete of the week story from the Mankato Free Press, Anderson was believed to have had 1,264 strikeouts in her career. The 109 she's piled up since then would put her at an unconfirmed total of 1,373, good for second all time. 1,642 Maddie Damon, Kasson-Mantorville, 2010-2015 1,373* Mariah Anderson, United South Central, 2021-2025 1,309 Carlie Brandt, LeSueur-Henderson, 2011-2016 1,178 Lindsey Predovich, Virginia, 1998-2003 1,158 Danielle Schmidt, New Life Academy, 2004-2009 With another year of high school left, Anderson is on pace to shatter the record. As dominant as she is, Anderson hasn't committed to play softball in college just yet. It's an option, but she's also an incredible gymnast and could go that route. This story was originally reported by Bring Me The News on Jun 6, 2025, where it first appeared.
