Report – Roma Looking To Hijack Inter Milan's Signing Of Parma Striker
Report – Roma Looking To Hijack Inter Milan's Signing Of Parma Striker Though Parma star Ange-Yoan Bonny has been a step away from joining Inter Milan, Roma could hijack the deal at the 11th hour. Per Il Messaggero via FCInterNews, new Giallorossi boss Gian Piero Gasperini is a big-time admirer of the 21-year-old. Advertisement Everything looked set for the Frenchman's transfer to the San Siro. However, after Inter failed to sign Bonny for the Club World Cup, there's a small window of opportunity for Roma. And the capital-based giants seem determined to exploit it. Roma Planning to Hijack Inter Milan Signing of Ange-Yoan Bonny VENICE, ITALY – NOVEMBER 09: Ange-Yoan Bonny of Parma celebrates after scoring his team's second goal during the Serie A match between Venezia and Parma at Stadio Pier Luigi Penzo on November 09, 2024 in Venice, Italy. (Photo by) Despite Roma's involvement in the race, Inter are still at the head of the queue. Indeed, they've already agreed personal terms with the young gun. Furthermore, Parma's €25 million asking price doesn't seem to be a major obstacle for Inter. Meanwhile, Gian Piero Gasperini doesn't seem concerned about Inter's advantage in this race. Advertisement On the contrary, he is ready to rival the Nerazzurri for Bonny's services as he aims to reinforce Roma's attacking options. Despite signing Artem Dovbyk last summer, the Giallorossi could use another top striker.

The Times' softball player of the year: Kai Minor of Orange Lutheran
Four years ago, after seeing freshman outfielder Kai Minor for the first time during the first softball practice, Orange Lutheran High coach Steve Miklos remembers arriving at home and telling his wife, 'This girl is special.' And she was. Minor, headed to Oklahoma after four spectacular seasons at Orange Lutheran, saved her best for her senior season, exceeding even the highest of expectations with 44 hits, a .500 batting average, 34 RBIs and 17 doubles for the Trinity League championship team. Defensively, she was a wizard with her glove. 'She makes plays routine that others wouldn't make,' Miklos said. For a season of exceptional performances, Minor has been selected The Times' player of the year in softball. 'It was a joy to see her develop not only as a great player but as a mentor to younger players,' Miklos said. He called Minor 'the best player' in his 28 seasons of coaching. Her speed was used on the bases and on defense. Opposing coaches who had never seen her play always came away impressed. 'People watch her and they're amazed,' Miklos said. 'They go, 'Who's that?'' She's a five-tool player in the world of softball. 'She hits for power, she's a line-drive hitter, a great baserunner. She's complete,' Miklos said.

The Times' baseball coach of the year: Andy Rojo of St. John Bosco
St. John Bosco High, a sports powerhouse, had been waiting years to get its baseball program to a high level. It finally happened under second-year coach Andy Rojo, who guided the Braves to the Southern Section Division 1 championship and Southern California Division I regional championship, a first in school history. 'He just held us accountable from the first day in the fall,' pitcher Jack Champlin said. 'Every practice was a grind. Every day has been a grind. He's keeping us held to a higher standard.' For taking St. John Bosco to its first Trinity League title since 2017 and directing the Braves to a 30-4 record, Rojo has been selected The Times' baseball coach of the year. Rojo came from the college ranks when St. John Bosco hired him. He had been an assistant coach at Long Beach State and before that Riverside City College while also helping USA Baseball identify amateur talent. 'He talks at the right time and builds personal relationships and everyone is willing to lay it out on the line for him,' Champlin said.
