Notre Dame's Niele Ivey wins a gold medal with Team USA at the U19 Women's World Cup
Notre Dame women's basketball coach Niele Ivey, had an interesting summer job, coaching the Women's Under-19 National Team. It's safe to say that coach Ivey did very well, as she led them to win a gold medal with Team USA at the U19 Women's World Cup in the Czech Republic on Sunday. Team USA, led by head coach Teri Moren, defeated Australia 88-76, claiming its fourth consecutive gold medal in the event. Saniyah Hall was named the MVP after stellar play on both ends of the court. She led the U.S. in scoring (19.9 ppg) and ranked third overall in scoring. For the tournament, she ranked fourth in steals per game (2.9) and eighth in blocks per game (1.1). She finished the week with four games of 20-plus points. Sienna Betts recorded another double-double with 11 points and 11 rebounds and joined Hall on the All-Star Five following a week with five double-doubles over seven games. She ranked second among all players in rebounds per game (10.0) and recorded 14.6 points per game. Coach Ivey added a second gold medal to her resume as an assistant with USA Basketball. Last summer, Ivey earned her first gold with the program while serving as an assistant at the 2024 FIBA U18 AmeriCup in Colombia. Earlier this month, ND's All-American junior guard Hannah Hidalgo helped USA claim gold at the FIBA Women's AmeriCup 2025. It's been a busy summer for the Irish, and hopefully all this winning translated over into the season.

Alabama governor backs withholding video of officer fatally shooting Black student
Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey is supporting a state agency's refusal to release body camera footage in the fatal police shooting of an 18-year-old Black college freshman, saying the case must first be thoroughly investigated. Ivey said she was confident 'the facts will prevail' when the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency completes its investigation into the June 23 shooting of Jabari Peoples by an officer with the Homewood Police Department. 'This case [is] a top priority, and I am confident they are working to efficiently get this done,' Ivey said in a statement Wednesday to NBC affiliate WVTM 13 in Birmingham. Peoples, an aspiring police detective, was killed at a soccer complex where he was sitting in his parked car with his girlfriend. An officer approached his car around 9:30 p.m. because he said he smelled what seemed like marijuana. Peoples' girlfriend, whose name has not been released, has denied he had a gun, said family attorney Ben Crump. The officer, who has not been publicly identified, shot Peoples after he said Peoples reached for a gun in the pocket of his car door, according to the police department. Peoples was shot in the back but there was no exit wound on his body and the bullet was not found inside him, according to an autopsy conducted by an independent medical examiner hired by his family. An autopsy conducted by the Jefferson County Coroner's Office has not been released at the request of the state law enforcement agency. The officer's body camera video documenting the shooting has become a crucial piece of evidence as Peoples' family and girlfriend dispute the department's version of events. The family, local leaders and many Homewood residents are demanding that the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency release it. State Rep. Kelvin Datcher, a Democrat who represents Homewood, said withholding the video undermines public confidence in law enforcement and tarnishes the integrity of the case. 'The point of having body camera footage is to ensure transparency for the community,' he said Thursday. 'There's an urgency for the family to get a look at that video.' Protesters showed up to the Homewood City Council meeting this week calling for the video's release and threatening to boycott local businesses, with the idea that economic pressure might force leaders to change their position. 'We will host sit-ins, we will hold dine-ins and vigils through downtown at the doorstep of your businesses,' the Rev. Wayne Harris told the council, according to WVTM. 'Your commerce will feel our grief, and we will shut Homewood down for justice.'

Watch: Timelapse video shows floodwaters rising rapidly in Texas' Llano River
At least 90 people have died in the catastrophic flash floods that hit Texas over the Fourth of July holiday weekend, including 27 children and counselors at beloved all-girls Camp Mystic. Dozens of people were known to be missing across the state and areas affected by the flooding, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said at a news conference July 6, adding search and rescue efforts were still underway. Extreme flooding began in the Texas Hill Country around 4 a.m. on July 4, as thunderstorms dropped more than 10 inches of rain on the region. The rain overwhelmed the Guadalupe River, causing it to quickly rise and surge over 26 feet in less than an hour on July 4, said Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick. The hardest-hit area is Kerr County. Timelapse footage captured by an eyewitness shows floodwaters from the nearby Llano River rising over a causeway in Kingsland, about 65 miles north of Austin, completely submerging it in just a few minutes. The video was captured around 6 p.m. CST June 4 over 50 minutes by a resident Robert Ivey. "It really only took a few minutes to shut down the roadway," Ivey said. Watch the video at the top of the story. The water in the river had subsided slightly as of Monday morning, Ivey told USA TODAY on Monday, June 7. Extreme flooding in Texas: USA TODAY answers your FAQs The Llano, a spring-fed stream, is formed in Kimble County by the meeting of the North and South Llano Rivers, according to Texas Parks and Wildlife. The main stream flows east through Kimble, Mason, and Llano Counties for approximately 100 miles before joining the Colorado River and forming Lake Lyndon B. Johnson, a reservoir on the Colorado River in the Texas Hill Country about 45 miles northwest of Austin. As search and rescue efforts are underway, more downpours and flash flooding are expected in the region and the National Weather Service extended a flood watch July 7 through 7 p.m. local time for much of central Texas, anticipating that slow-moving thunderstorms will drop heavy rain across the region. Texas Hill Country is no stranger to extreme flooding. In the rugged, rolling terrain it's known for, heavy rains collect quickly in its shallow streams and rivers that can burst into torrents causing flash floods. The Guadalupe has flooded more than a dozen times since 1978, according to the U.S. Geological Survey, but the Independence Day flood is among the worst in its history.
