Travis Perry enters the transfer portal
Lexington, Ky. (FOX 56) — Travis Perry entered his name just before the college basketball transfer portal closed on Tuesday night. The Eddyville native had been a fan favorite of Big Blue Nation, along with fellow freshman and Kentuckian Trent Noah.
Perry had a storied career at Lyon County High School. He led Lyons to their first-ever state championship in 2024, and for his efforts, he was named Mr. Kentucky Basketball. Perry also owns the all-time KHSAA scoring record with 5,481 career points, which is the seventh-most all-time in the entire country, according to MaxPreps.

Perry even started in four contests toward the end of the season when the Wildcats were without a true point guard.
Perry is just the second UK player on scholarship to enter the portal this offseason. Kerr Kriisa transferred to Cincinnati after missing the majority of last season with a foot injury.

GEORGETOWN, Ky. (FOX 56) — The Scott County softball team is two wins away from a state championship after stepping up last week with some big-time wins over Bullitt East and Rowan County at John Cropp Stadium. 'Take one hit at a time, one inning at a time, one day at a time, one game,' Head Coach James Wagoner said.

Bengals rookie Shemar Stewart stands firm in contract battle: 'I'm 100% right'
The Cincinnati Bengals' contract conundrums continue. First-round pick Shemar Stewart is not practicing at the team's mandatory minicamp this week because he has yet to sign his rookie contract. Cincinnati ironed out Tee Higgins' contract situation this offseason, but the Bengals are still dealing with top edge rusher Trey Hendrickson. Now, their first-round pick is holding out until he gets a deal he likes. Stewart, the Texas A&M product who went 17th overall in the 2025 NFL Draft in April, has yet to practice this summer, and the Bengals are reportedly trying something no other team in the league has done yet by voiding future guarantees for Stewart. The unprecedented contract maneuver is not sitting well with Stewart, and he sounded off about the front office Tuesday while at the Bengals' complex. "I'm 100% right," he said of his stance about his rookie deal, according to "I'm not asking for nothing y'all (the Bengals) have never done before. But in y'all case, y'all just want to win arguments (more) than winning more games." Stewart said he "can't say" what he is asking for in his contract. In the meantime, he's still attending meetings and doing what he can off the field to be ready for the season. "I still study my playbook. Taking down the right notes, and then, whenever I get some free time, I go out to train," he said. But Stewart wants to be on the field with his teammates. He says he has been preparing properly in the offseason for his first crack at the NFL. "You gotta get your body somewhat prepared to play football, especially me coming from college. The NFL is a way physical game, even though I played in the SEC, which is very physical. Nothing compares to actually playing in the NFL. I thought I'd be on the field by now." Stewart was considered a raw prospect coming out of the Aggies' program, someone who possesses tremendous athletic ability but needs to shore up the technical aspects of playing outside linebacker. He's hoping to do that for years to come in Cincinnati, and though the contract situation is less than ideal, he doesn't have any ill will for the franchise. "I'm still new here. We still have a long future ahead of us," he said. However, Stewart is making it clear he's doing nothing wrong with his contract negotiations. The ball is in the Bengals' court.
