McCort ends district title drought in close win over Penns Manor
Timely second half turnovers fueled a few late baskets as the Crushers and Comets traded scores, but those ultimately helped McCort build a cushion and raise its first District 6 crown in seven seasons.
'I can't believe it,' said head coach John Hahn. 'I thought I'd be here last year. I thought I'd been here the year before. But, you know, there's there's good teams and I think Laurel Highlands gets us prepared for this, and Penns Manor, we watched them all year long because we assumed that's who was going to be here. And, for this feeling now, this just never gets old.'

2025 PFL World Tournament 9 results: Liz Carmouche wins final, calls out Dakota Ditcheva
Liz Carmouche is not slowing down. Despite turning 41 earlier this year, Carmouche (25-8) is still adding records and titles to her already impressive resume. Carmouche won the 2025 PFL women's flyweight tournament this Friday in the co-main event of 2025 PFL World Tournament 9 at Bojangles Coliseum in Charlotte, N.C. She scored a TKO victory over Jena Bishop (9-3) at the 2:56 mark of Round 3 of their championship fight. On top of taking the 2025 PFL women's flyweight tournament title, Carmouche receives a $500,000 prize for her tournament win. Although the momentum appeared to be on Carmouche's side though the majority of the fight, "Girl-Rilla" had to work hard for her big win. It appeared she edged out Bishop in a close first round, and then found herself in trouble in the second, surviving several close submission attempts from Bishop. In Round 3, that's where the magic happened for Carmouche. She connected a brutal, counter left hook on Bishop's shin, dropped her, and then followed up with a few shots on the ground to close out the show. After the fight, in her post-fight interview, Carmouche called for the opening of the a women's bantamweight division in the PFL and a fight with PFL star and 2024 tournament champion Dakota Ditcheva. "I would love to do a super fight at 135 (pounds), and get that division in here and headline," Carmouche said. "I think that would be amazing. I think when Dakota is healthy, I would love to get a chance to fight Dakota." With this win, Carmouche finds herself on a three-fight winning streak and 12-1 since leaving the UFC in 2020. This latest feat adds to Carmouche's impressive resume. She's a former two-time UFC title challenger, was the last Bellator women's flyweight champion – a title she defended three times, and is now a PFL tournament winner.

DeSean Bishop has 'grown tremendously' in pass protection ahead of 2025 season
Tennessee practiced for a tenth time during fall training camp on Tuesday. Redshirt sophomore DeSean Bishop enters his third season with the Vols in 2025. The 5-foot-10, 208-pound running back appeared in 10 contests during the 2024 campaign. Bishop totaled 455 rushing yards and scored three touchdowns on 74 attempts in 2024. He also recorded one reception for 10 yards in the Vols' season opener against Chattanooga. Following Tuesday's practice, running backs coach De'Rail Sims discussed Bishop's improvement during the offseason. 'I think he's taken a step in terms of leadership, number one,' Sims said. 'He's been a dynamic guy in the room, in terms of holding guys accountable. If somebody is not living up to the standard, he's the first one to get on them, and that's including all factors. 'I think from the pass protection standpoint, he's taken the next step too. From a physicality standpoint, an eye discipline standpoint, he's done a really good job. Running the ball is natural to him, I mean, you're talking about a guy that was highly productive in high school and rushed for a ton of yards, so that came natural. The pass protection piece of it, he's grown tremendously in that and done a really good job this camp.' Follow Vols Wire on Facebook and X (formerly Twitter).
