Kentucky takes Game 2, series against Oklahoma
Kentucky takes Game 2, series against Oklahoma The Oklahoma baseball team picked the wrong part of the regular season in which to struggle. In the penultimate weekend of the regular season, the No. 16 Sooners have now dropped both of their first two games against Kentucky, falling 8-5, on Saturday. The Wildcats clinched the set with the win and the Oklahoma, which plays No. 1 Texas next week, seems unlikely to host a regional in the NCAA Tournament without taking that series against the Longhorns or winning the SEC Tournament. Kentucky jumped on OU quickly, scoring four runs in the first inning another in the second to open a 5-1 lead. Oklahoma starter Cade Crossland walked two batters, hit another and gave up sacrifice fly, a two-run triple and an RBI single as the Wildcats sent eight batters to the plate in the opening frame. Crossland had been staked to a 2-0 lead before he even took the mound after Easton Carmichael knocked in Jason Walk with an RBI single and Jaxon Willits followed with an RBI groundout. But the Sooners right-hander ultimately worked just three innings, giving up those five runs on three eights, four walks and and two hit batters. Kentucky tacked on three more runs to put the game away in the fifth inning, though Oklahoma brought the tying run to the plate in the sixth. Scott Mudler hit a two-out, two-run double in the inning an inning after he popped a solo home run. The double put him at second base and Mason Hamlin at third. But Dawson Willis lined out to center field ending things. The Sooners will almost certainly drop in the USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll rankings when the poll is released Monday. An upset over the Longhorns could keep Norman Regional hopes alive, though OU will likely earn a No. 2-seed in the NCAA Tournament. Sunday's finale against Kentucky is scheduled for noon Sunday.

Sheffield city centre begging and street drinking ban to begin
A ban on city centre street drinking, begging and other anti-social behaviour in Sheffield is set to public space protection order (PSPO), which was approved by the council last year, comes into force on the rules, those caught indulging in certain activities in a defined area, such as urinating in the street, drug use and loitering, could be fined up to £ Paul Ferguson, from South Yorkshire Police, said existing legislation meant issues in the city could not be challenged "robustly". He said the new powers would "be used proportionately and progressively with the aim of preventing harm to individuals and the wider community".A report to Sheffield City Council last year suggested a PSPO was needed for the "continuous and unreasonable" anti-social behaviour in parts of the city over two thirds of 1,205 individuals surveyed supported the introduction of the order, along with 67 out of 77 Crossland, chair of the council leisure committee, said: "[The order] is about protecting people and stopping anti-social behaviour that might make anyone feel unsafe or insecure."Tim Renshaw, of the Archer Project, previously said the homeless charity was working with the council and police around the said: "We are working with them to say, 'how can we make it a support system rather than something just about enforced displacement?'"Is it an opportunity to build support, or is it just going to become something to stop people from seeing anti-social behaviour - we'll see."

Summer school continues in Columbus thanks to donation
CHEROKEE COUNTY, Kan. — With the help of a donation, the Columbus school district can host another year of summer school. Crossland Construction has stepped up to donate $30,000 to the school district. For the past several years, administrators have used 'Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief funds' provided during COVID to fund summer school. But those funds have run out, prompting Crossland to step up to help. The money will help cover transportation, staffing, as well as breakfast and lunch, and other food services. 'When you take an 11-week break in the summer, they're losing more than just what maybe a typical kid would lose. So we want to keep just the exposure for those kids,' said Kelly Walters, Columbus USD 493's district reading specialist. 'This summertime is really vital for them to just be continuing to work at it, even if it's something small, even if it's 30 minutes a day. And so being able to offer that is, like I said, it's a game changer for some of these kids,' said Anna Moser, Park Elementary principal. Summer school is set to start in two sessions, the first will run from June 2 through June 12, and the second will start July 28 and wrap up sometime in August before the start of school.

World War II soldier missing for decades laid to rest in emotional South Carolina ceremony
Draped in an American flag with only 48 stars, a casket held the remains of U.S. Army Pvt. 1st Class Arthur W. Crossland Jr. Friday at Northeast Presbyterian Church before family members he'd never met, military dignitaries and a church full of South Carolinians paying their respects in an hour-long service. Almost 80 years to the day after his death at 19, Crossland — simply Jr. to his family — was later laid to rest at Fort Jackson National Cemetery with full military honors. The flag had been presented in 1946 to Crossland's parents, Arthur W. Crossland Sr. and Lauda Mae Stallings Crossland, a year after their son was reported missing in 1945 along with a purple heart. It was held as a memento by his brother, Paul Dillard 'Red' Crossland, who passed in 2017. Having found the flag the day before the funeral, Crossland's nephew Billy Crossland said. 'We knew pops would have wanted that flag used.' Billy said the day was emotional, 'We've heard the stories our whole lives, always hearing the stories from our grandparents and my dad, over and over. Now we know. He was always listed as missing and we never knew for sure how he had died.' The 19-year-old triggered a mine in France on March 15, 1945, and disappeared in the explosion. U.S. troops withdrew without recovering his remains while engaged in battle with German forces near Althorn, France. Those remains were eventually labeled Unknown X-535 and interred at Normandy American Cemetery. They were exhumed in 2022 and identified as Crossland's using science that didn't exist in World War II. Crossland is buried at Fort Jackson National Cemetery near his brother, who also served in the United States Army. 80 years after dying, a South Carolina soldier will be laid to rest at Fort Jackson National Cemetery
