Scrimmage report: Palisades passing duo is ready to light up City Section football
There's no need to scout Palisades' football team this fall. Everyone knows the passing duo of quarterback Jack Thomas and receiver Demare Dezeurn is going to be electric. Dezeurn, who ran a 10.32 100 meters as a sophomore last season at Bishop Alemany, made his Palisades debut in a scrimmage on Thursday. Several times he was used as a decoy, opening the door for receiver Harrison Carter to show his stuff. Palisades kept Dezeurn under wraps. "We're not showing anything today," Thomas said. Palisades opens against Washington Prep on Thursday. The team still doesn't have a campus field because of repairs being made after the Palisades fire. Santa Monica College will be the site for several home games. Thomas is already predicting the Dolphins will play Birmingham to decide the City Section Open Division championship. Dezeurn still needs to be cleared by the City Section to play next week. Chaminade faced Santa Margarita in a scrimmage on Thursday, and Eagles coach David Machuca said he was very happy with the play of his team's offensive line considering that Santa Margarita's strength could be its defensive line. Chaminade faces Oaks Christian in an opener next week, with Santa Margarita playing Mission Viejo. The Sierra Canyon-Corona Centennial scrimmage matched two top 10 teams and exposed issues both teams will need to improve on. Sierra Canyon still has a competition going at quarterback, and that's the position likely to decide how far the Trailblazers might advance in the Division 1 playoffs. Their defensive line is one of the best in the Southland. Centennial had trouble running the ball, something that needs to improve since the Huskies have a three-game stretch against Servite, Santa Margarita and Mater Dei in nonleague games. Birmingham's powerful soccer program has supplied three kickers to the football program, giving coach Jim Rose options with special teams. Kicking field goals will definitely be an option. Making adjustments for multi-sport athletes, such as letting them leave early for a club practice, is something coaches must do if they want to attract the best athletes in school.

Vapes can short-circuit when exposed to water, either damaging the device or ruining it completely. If you notice your vape has gotten wet, be extremely careful as a short-circuit could cause the device to overheat or even catch fire. ' Heat Damage He continued: 'If you're lucky enough to be by a pool, it probably means you're also enjoying hot weather.

Wolves players ‘absolutely devastated' club never applied for promotion
The Wolves midfielder Beth Merrick said: 'Imagine fighting for promotion all season, to find out our Championship bid was never submitted.' The Wolves midfielder Beth Merrick said: 'Imagine fighting for promotion all season, to find out our Championship bid was never submitted.' Photograph: Jack Thomas/WWFC/Wolves/Getty The Wolves women's players have said they feel let down by a lack of ambition from their club after learning an application for promotion to the Women's Championship was not submitted, despite the team battling Nottingham Forest for top spot all season. Wolves finished second in the northern section of the third tier in English women's football – the FA Women's National League Northern Premier Division – on Sunday, three points behind Forest, who clinched promotion on the final day to go up to the second tier. Only one team could be promoted. Advertisement Wolves have met all the criteria to play second-tier football but it has emerged the club did not apply, and the players were informed of this during a team meeting on Sunday after full-time in their 6-0 home victory against Liverpool Feds, their final game of the season. Wolves did not wish to comment on the matter when contacted on Monday by the Guardian with a series of questions. Beth Merrick described the situation as 'crazy', before the midfielder said: 'Imagine fighting for promotion all season, to find out our Championship bid was never submitted. As a group we are absolutely devastated to finish the season this way and believe it speaks volumes about the club's ambitions for the women's team. For our staff to have to deliver this news to us moments after is astonishing. 'Our players, staff and fans deserve so much better. The staff have put in hours of dedication, for a bid to never be submitted. It's not about money, it's about honesty and transparency.' Advertisement Any third-tier clubs interested in applying for a second-tier licence, to be ready for promotion subject to their final league position, initially had until 20 December 2024 to express their intent to apply, before the formal deadline to submit a second-tier application, which was on 21 February. The list of criteria included a requirement to provide evidence a club could attract average home attendances of at least 600 spectators, while also requiring clubs to commit to appointing the following staff within one month of next season starting: a head of women's football, marketing manager, head coach, assistant coach, physiotherapist or sports therapist, doctor, a strength and conditioning coach, a goalkeeping coach and several people in specific safeguarding and player-welfare roles, as well as a matchday safety manager. It is also understood that the company running the Women's Championship, Women's Professional Leagues Limited, has proposed to raise the minimum contact hours per week for players up to 20 hours per week, although this proposal remains subject to receiving final shareholder approval. It is understood there was a shocked reaction in the dressing room on Sunday night among staff and players, many of whom are considering their futures at the club. Abbi Jenner, the defender who is on a season-long loan at Wolves from the Women's Championship side Birmingham City, wrote on X that the situation was 'absolutely gutting', accompanied by a broken heart emoji. The midfielder Lily Simkin wrote: 'We feel let down … We took it to the last day to find out it would have all been for nothing anyway. We deserve better.'
