Local talent, a big hit for Odessa College Softball
ODESSA, Texas (KMID/KPEJ) – The 2025 roster for the Odessa College softball team features eight players from outside the United States and 12 from the United States. Sophomore infielder Renske Tellekamp from Zoetermeer, Netherlands, leads the team in home runs with 16, and her family was in town and got to see one of them, which Head Coach Doug Eastman called a special moment. The Lady Wranglers finished the regular season at 46-6 overall and 24-0 in the conference as they prepare for their fifth straight World Series. The team is led by four players who used to play high school softball in the Permian Basin, and all four were named first team all-conference this season. 'It's just a neat thing when they can now all come together on the same team. They have the same goals that anybody else does, and they're just helping us win a national championship,' Eastman said. Those players are as follows: Diveli Cherry, Shelby Navarrete – Odessa High Mackenzei Bernal – Permian Jaycie Pacheco – Midland Legacy 'They're just not four locals, they're four starters, they're four impact players to this program, and you can't get that all the time out of a local community.' This season, Navarrete led the team in batting average at .525 and runs batted in with 83, and she was second on the team with 15 home runs. Navarrete was also named the Western Junior College Athletic Conference's most valuable player. Bernal is third on the team in batting average with a .423 and second in runs batted in with 68. Cherry is fifth on the team with a batting average of .330. OC looks to continue the success they've had with the local talent and bring back the first national championship back to Odessa since 1994. 'Being here in Odessa and being a local I think it means more to us because we're bringing it back to Odessa specifically so I think it's very huge for us to come out and win it all,' Navarrete said.

Spokane Councilwoman Lili Navarrete to step down ahead of election
May 15—Spokane City Councilwoman Lili Navarrete, believed to be the first Hispanic or immigrant member of the Spokane City Council, will step down in the coming months, she said Thursday. Navarrete announced in March that she would not run for a new term, citing health concerns. Alejandro Barrientos, chief operating officer at SCAFCO Steel Stud Company, and Kate Telis, a former deputy prosecutor from New Mexico, have both filed to run for the seat. On Thursday Navarrete confirmed recent rumors that she planned to step down ahead of the election. In a brief interview outside City Hall, she cited two recent health scares worsened by the stress of the job and potential employment opportunities that she couldn't juggle with council commitments. She hasn't decided exactly when to step down and hadn't planned on publicly announcing the decision yet, but will fully lay out her resignation plans soon, she said Thursday. Navarrete's resignation opens the door to a short-term appointment to fill her seat, similar to the musical chairs that played out ahead of the council election in 2023. At the time, then-Council President Breean Beggs resigned to accept an appointment as a Superior Court judge, then-Councilwoman Lori Kinnear was appointed to serve as council president, and Priority Spokane Executive Director Ryan Oelrich was appointed six weeks later in August to fill Kinnear's council seat. Oelrich's appointed term was just over two months long; Paul Dillon and Katey Treloar were running at the time for Kinnear's seat, and while election winners are usually sworn in the following January, appointees are replaced immediately after the election is certified, so Dillon took office in mid-November. In a brief interview Thursday, Dillon said neither Barrientos nor Telis should be appointed to fill the seat ahead of their election, arguing it would give the appointee an unfair and undemocratic advantage. Navarrete also was appointed to her seat in January, 2024, to a nearly two-year stint representing south Spokane on the city council, filling a seat vacated when Wilkerson was elected as city council president. At the time of her appointment, she anticipated serving the full appointed term and planned to run for re-election in 2025, she said Thursday. Navarrete immigrated from Mexico City to Spokane in 1988 and wrote in her application for the open seat that while growing up she had not felt represented by city government, noting she had "always wondered why a person of color was not up on the dais" until recently. Prior to her appointment on the city council, Navarrete served as community development officer for the state Commission on Hispanic Affairs and previously as director of public affairs for Planned Parenthood for Greater Washington and North Idaho, where she worked alongside Dillon, the other representative for south Spokane. During her time on council, Navarrete has shepherded an ordinance to encourage the recruiting of more multilingual city employees, worked on a slate of reforms to increase employment and housing rights for the homeless which was ultimately whittled down to the hiring protection dubbed "Ban the Address." Most recently, she introduced legislation meant to prevent federal immigration officers from warrantless raids in city parks.

Boxing world champion set to have controversial win OVERTURNED after rare use of video replay
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) WORLD champion Emanuel Navarrete is set to have his win over Charly Suarez changed to a no-contest after a rare use of video replay. Mexican Navarrete was defending his WBO super-featherweight title in San Diego when he was cut above his left eyebrow in round six. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Emanuel Navarrete is set to have his win over Charly Suarez changed to a no-contest Credit: Mikey Williams/Top Rank By the eighth, ringside physician Dr. Robert Ruelaz ruled the fight needed to be stopped with Navarrete's vision impaired. Per the rules of boxing, if a cut is caused by a punch and the bout is stopped it results in a TKO. But, if deemed to have been caused by a headbutt then the fight goes to the judges scorecards at the time of the stoppage. In this case, Navarrete led on the cards and was awarded a technical decision - retaining his 130lb title. Video replay was used on the night and official Jack Reiss said there was no conclusive evidence to deem that a punch caused the cut. Footage revealed a swiping left hook landing on Navarrete before the two came together shortly afterwards - making it unclear where the cut was caused. But, in a subsequent review days after the bout, the California State Athletic Commission now look set to overturn the result, BoxingScene report. It marks a rare occasion when a fight is overturned using replays in the days following the bout.

But, if Navarrete's win is indeed overturned to a no-contest then he will still retain the title with a rematch expected to be called. He said after the fight: 'I felt it was a headbutt. I saw the review. It seems like a punch, but it exploded two layers of skin. 'I didn't want it to end. I was fine to keep going. I felt like the best rounds were still to come. But the doctor stopped the fight. 'He would be a great opponent. He is a great opponent. So a rematch would be good.' Suarez added: 'I thought I had a chance to win the fight. I had five more rounds to try to win."
