In the aftermath of Jota's long-term injury - which could keep him out till next year - places are available on the Hoops' bench.

McCardle signed his first professional contract back in 2023 aged just 15, when he featured in the U18 squad. The central midfielder was then called up for the U21s, where he added a goal against Lazio in the UEFA Youth League to his resume.

Marshall Mitchell: Mitchell City Council to consider purchasing property at 1515 N. Sanborn
Mar. 30—MITCHELL — The Mitchell City Council will meet at 5 p.m. on Monday, March 31, at 1515 N. Sanborn for a tour of the CHR building as part of a council work session. The council will evaluate it to consider purchasing the property at a discounted sum, according to council president Kevin McCardle. "People have talked about moving City Hall, and that might be an option," McCardle told the Mitchell Republic. "We're just gonna go up there and check our options out." The property at 1515 N. Sanborn Blvd. is a two story and one story sprawling brick building with 75,800 square feet of office space with portions of the building being built in 1987, 1992 and 1996. It is listed for sale at $5,999,999. Amenities include a reception area, multiple conference and office spaces, a large shared break area with kitchen and in-suite restrooms. "We wanna see what kind of shape it's in. If it's worn down and needs a lot of work then there's no reason to do it," McCardle said. The property includes a parking lot. Previous real estate listings included the empty 110,889 square foot lot behind the building. The property is south of Muth Electric and across the street from the Village Bowl at the corner of North Sanborn Boulevard and West Fifteenth Avenue. The property is owned by Martin and Associates, according to the Davison County Geographic Information System. The South Dakota Secretary of State lists Matthew J. Martin of Sioux Falls as the owner of Martin and Associates. "Probably once a year we'll drive around and look at the sidewalks, or drive around and look at different things that we think need to be done in town," McCardle said. Immediately following the tour, the council will return to City Hall at 612 N. Main Street to discuss setting goals for the next 10 years, and to discuss various city projects. Residents are welcome, but no citizens' input will be heard.

'Gran inspired me to act and now I'm in the leading role'
When James McCardle read the script for new comedy Four Mothers, it instantly put him mind of the woman who opened his eyes to the acting world. His gran, Betty Feeney, sparked the Glasgow actor's lifelong love of performance with her stories of seeing Frank Sinatra play in the city. The 35-year-old has traded his west of Scotland drawl for a Dublin accent in the new production from Irish filmmaking brothers Darren and Colin Thornton. But aptly for a film that will begin previews on Mother's Day, he has taken inspiration from home into his first leading role. "I'd love to have been able to take my gran to see it," he told BBC Scotland News. "She'd recently passed away when I read the script. She came from Govan, at a time when Sinatra would come to Glasgow and they'd do Noel Coward plays or Greek tragedy at the Citizens' Theatre and we'd go. "That was where I was introduced to this world first, so I think it is for her." The film, which opens nationwide on 4 April, follows McCardle as Edward, a gay Irish writer who finds himself at the mercy of his own elderly mum, played by Fionnula Flanagan, and three other mothers, abandoned for the weekend while their sons go off to enjoy themselves at a Pride event in Ibiza. The Thorntons drew on their experiences of caring for their own elderly mother for the film, which screened at the Glasgow Film Festival earlier this month and won the audience award at the London Film Festival last year. McCardle, who has also appeared in Mary Queen of Scots and Star Wars: The Force Awakens, said the brothers had created a script which found moments of levity despite the heavy subject matter. "You read a lot of scripts that are trying to be funny, and they don't make you laugh but I was howling with laughter at this one," he said. "And then next page, you're crying. It's not twee, it's bittersweet. "We are a nation of carers now but we've never really seen that represented. Anyone who has cared, or been cared for, will realise that in those darkest moments there's always something funny or absurd that you shouldn't be laughing at." Opposite Flanagan and Dhearbhla Molloy, Stella McCusker and Paddy Glynn, who play the other three mums, McCardle was not short on inspiration. "I learned a lot from them," he said. "They take what they do seriously but not themselves seriously." McCardle's most recent televised role was in the ITV drama Playing Nice, alongside former Rada classmate James Norton. He has also received recent acclaim for the stage play Angels in America which has had a run in London and on Broadway. Four Mothers came with the additional challenge of picking up a Dublin accent, but he was able to lean on friend Andrew Scott in an effort to sound authentic. He said: "The Irish accent has been notoriously butchered on screen and they're quick to tell you. "That was a pressure, but I just got obsessive. "Even in Glasgow, there are very different accents so they were very strict about what they wanted." McCardle grew up in the city's Darnley area and planted the seeds of his future success by becoming involved in youth theatre as an early age. It was an experience that he continues to hold dear. When the PACE Theatre company launched its plans to redevelop a disused building in the centre of Paisley as the first dedicated theatre for children and young people, McCardle was one of the first to back it. Although delayed by the contractors going into administration, they say James's ongoing support has been "invaluable" The theatre's CEO, Grant Mason, said: "We know that his achievements to date are an inspiration to our young people, many of whom will recognise shared background and experiences. "But he's also been incredibly generous with his time with our young people, offering invaluable advice and mentorship."

Cottonwood braces for severe weather after last year's deadly tornado
DOTHAN, Ala (WDHN) — With the town of Cottonwood still dealing with the effects of a deadly tornado that swept through the area, residents are using last year's experience to help better prepare for the incoming round of severe weather. The Wiregrass is under a severe weather threat heading into the weekend, and for Cottonwood resident Janet McCardle, this latest round of severe weather has her anxious that her community could experience another major weather event. 'When you open your front door, the whole inside was sucked out of that house over there and the trees were gone,' said McCardle. State of emergency declared in Alabama ahead of dangerous weekend storms In January 2024, an EF-2 tornado ripped through the small wiregrass town, nearly destroying the downtown area and leaving one woman dead. Since then the town and all of its residents have continued its long road to recovery, attempting to rebuild what was lost, which included multiple homes, the senior center, and the fire department. After experiencing such devastation first-hand, McCardle says she is now taking pre-preparations more seriously. 'I have an interior hallway in my home, and that's where I'm fixing to place me and my mother. We will have a chair, helmets, blankets in there in the hallway; along with my weather radio and some flashlights if we need a place to go,' High probability of tornados in the Wiregrass Saturday night McCardle says that she was one of the lucky few, that didn't have an extreme amount of damage done to her home. With just a few trees ripped from the ground, but after seeing what last year's tornado did to her community, she says she will always strive to be ready for the worst–if the time comes. 'I'm taking it more seriously now. You just can't not be too careful…It's something that once you live through it, yes, you're going to take it seriously every time it comes around again.' According to McCardle, her son lives in a trailer but is moving his entire family into a nearby relative's home and she advices anyone in the same living situation to do the same.
