Carroll girls claim first WCAC outdoor track title; McNamara wins boys' competition
There has never been a crisis of identity for the Archbishop Carroll track and field team. In short-distance track events, few programs in the area can match the Lions' prowess. 'We are who we are,' Coach Rafiu Bakare said. 'We are a sprint power.' That reputation has been forged through results, including state and even national championships. But a Washington Catholic Athletic Conference title remained elusive. The program has produced a parade of dynamic sprinters, but winning a team championship requires a well-rounded performance in all events.

With a dominant final day, DeMatha recaptures the WCAC tennis title
As the DeMatha tennis team formed a celebratory huddle after its dominant performance at Wednesday's Washington Catholic Athletic Conference championships, Coach Mark Dalzell knew he was in for a Gatorade bath. A red wave crashed down onto Dalzell's shoulders, and he slowly trickled away from the group as the cold sports drink began pouring off of his white t-shirt. A large grin was plastered on his face, evidence of a win that felt like it meant a little bit more.

South Florida plans coaching search after Ben Fletcher served in interim role this season
Associated Press TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — South Florida will conduct a national search for a new men's basketball coach after Ben Fletcher filled the role on an interim basis this season following the death of Amir Abdur-Rahim. Abdur-Rahim died at the age of 43 on Oct. 24, 11 days before South Florida's season opener. The Bulls went 13-19 overall and 6-12 in the American Athletic Conference this season under Fletcher, who previously had served as an assistant on Abdur-Rahim's staffs at Kennesaw State and South Florida. The Bulls lost their last five games, including a 73-68 decision against Wichita State in the American Athletic Conference Tournament on Thursday. 'We are eternally grateful to interim head coach Ben Fletcher for his leadership under extraordinary circumstances this season. I also want to thank our staff and student-athletes for their resilience,' South Florida vice president for athletics Michael Kelly said in a statement released by the school. 'Coach Amir would be so proud. A national search is underway for our next head basketball coach.' Abdur-Rahim died from complications that presented while he was undergoing a procedure at a Tampa-area hospital. He coached one season at South Florida and led the Bulls to a 25-8 record and American Athletic Conference regular-season title. He had taken over South Florida's program after leading Kennesaw State to a 26-9 record and NCAA Tournament appearance during the 2022-23 season. ___ Get poll alerts and updates on the AP Top 25 all season.

As a new season begins, the local hierarchy remains just how it has always been remembered. Several private schools have already begun the 2025 season, including top-ranked Bullis. After faltering late in the 2024 season and failing to reach the Interstate Athletic Conference title game, Bullis returns what might be the area's most talented roster and certainly the region's highest-rated recruit in Penn commit Jackson Maher. The senior attackman is rated by Inside Lacrosse as the No. 6 overall player in the class.
