Frank Mitchell: Arrival of my first grandchild means even as a Man City fan I have a soft spot for his Newcastle team
There has been a very important development for Frank Mitchell – the birth of his first grandchild One of my old teachers crossed my mind this week. Mr Hoben guided me to O level success in economics. He usually wore a grey suit with a V neck jumper over a shirt and tie. His narrow eyes and thick rimmed glasses suggested a crossness but his most memorable feature was his accent. It was regional English and sounded similar to some of the soldiers who would stop and search us as teenagers. He stretched his words as people from his home town tend to do. His first name was Paul but we all called him Charlie. It didn't take much to get a nickname in the '70s. One day he was chastising a time waster by warning him that he would not accept anyone trying to be a 'Char-Lee' during lessons, and from that day this strict but outstanding teacher from Sunderland had been renamed.

I may be a Man City fan but I do have a soft spot for Newcastle – especially now it's my grandson's team

(AP Photo/Michael Conroy) Former Iowa forward Owen Freeman, the 2023-24 Big Ten freshman of the year, has signed with Creighton. The 6-foot-10 Freeman averaged 16.7 points and 6.7 rebounds in 19 starts this season for the Hawkeyes before missing the final two months following finger surgery. He shot 63.8% from the field and blocked 35 shots. Freeman has two years of eligibility remaining. Advertisement 'He is a proven scorer at the high major level and is only scratching the surface in terms of his potential,' Creighton coach Greg McDermott said. 'Our offense will allow his versatility to be on full display. We can't wait to have him in a Bluejay uniform.' The Bluejays also secured a transfer from Nik Graves, a junior guard who averaged 17.5 points per game this season with Charlotte. Also Friday, former Minnesota forward Frank Mitchell signed with St. Bonaventure. Mitchell averaged 4.9 points and 4.7 rebounds for the Golden Gophers this season. He finished with two double-doubles in his last three games with Minnesota. Prior to Minnesota, Mitchell spent a year at Canisius, where he averaged 12.1 points and 11.6 boards. He began his college career at Humber College in Toronto, where he helped lead the Hawks to the 2022 CCAA National Championship and the 2022 OCAA Provincial Championship. He sat out the 2022-23 season under NCAA transfer rules. Advertisement ___ Get poll alerts and updates on the AP Top 25 throughout the season. Sign up here. AP college basketball: and
