Bozeman hires Bryan Normand as head baseball coach
PANAMA CITY, Fla. (WMBB) – Deane Bozeman High School has officially named Bryan Normand as its next head baseball coach, succeeding legendary coach Jeff Patton. Normand, who most recently served as an assistant coach at Arnold High School, brings more than two decades of coaching experience to the Bucks. A Louisiana native, he moved to Bay County in 2007 and has held coaching positions at Arnold, North Bay Haven, and Liberty County. During his career, Normand helped build North Bay Haven's baseball program from the ground up, leading the team to its only two playoff appearances. He was also part of the Arnold coaching staff that reached the FHSAA Final Four. 'I like to say I'm a players' coach,' Normand said. 'I build great relationships with my players. One of the things I think I'll miss most from my time at Arnold is the van rides with the seniors. We always had a strong bond.' Normand takes over for longtime head coach Jeff Patton, a Bay County baseball legend who retired this year after more than 20 years at the helm. Patton leaves behind a Hall of Fame-worthy legacy, having built the program from the ground up. Bozeman baseball coaching legend, Patton retires 'Everybody says I have big shoes to fill with Jeff Patton,' Normand said. 'I don't plan on filling his shoes—I'm bringing my own. We'll honor him, maybe bronze his shoes and hang them above the dugout. But at the end of the day, I'm here to keep winning ballgames and championships.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

Comedian and 'WTF' Podcast Host Marc Maron Reveals His Struggle with Anxiety Led to Decision to Never Be a Dad
Marc Maron reveals the reason behind his decision not to have children Anxiety Club features behind-the-scenes content and commentary from fellow comedians about how mental health impacts their daily lives The upcoming documentary arrives on Jolt on Aug. 15Marc Maron is opening up about the reason why he never became a father. In an all-new Jolt documentary titled Anxiety Club, the WTF podcast host, 61, joins fellow comedians as they find humorous ways to share how fear and mental health have held them back from living life. 'Most of what you're reacting to is something your brain is making up,' Maron says in the trailer. He later confesses, 'My anxiety stopped me from having children.' Tiffany Jenkins, Baron Vaughn, Aparna Nancherla, Mark Normand, Eva Victor and Joe List also reflect on their relationship with anxiety through exclusive interviews, standup performances, sketch videos, therapy sessions and everyday life. The opening scene of Anxiety Club sees Normand, 41, doing a sunset comedy show on a rooftop. 'I love a roof gig. If this goes horribly, I can just jump right off,' he says as the crowd laughs. Next, List, 43, is seen in a comedy club cracking jokes about how many times thoughts about his parents dying or him being diagnosed with cancer cross his mind per day. Again, the response from the crowd is laughter. '[In] other professions, mental health may not have been a big topic, but comedy has always destigmatized things by saying, 'Okay, this is okay to talk about,' ' one commentator explains in an on-camera interview. A skit of Jenkins' 'anxiety' and 'brain' having a conversation is shown next, as she talks about the condition being common, yet people still not knowing how to cope. According to Nancherla, 'Anxiety is warning you about a danger that isn't actually there.' Normand takes cameras with him for his day-to-day life, which includes sleeping with a weighted anxiety blanket that 'feels like a hug.' For Vaughn, the emotion feels like a 'turbine' in his brain. 'I am scared of getting murdered. I have a horrendous fear of the ocean. I think about my kids breaking their neck and getting paralyzed a lot,' Jenkins tells a therapist during a therapy session as footage of her kids doing flips at an indoor trampoline park begins to play. Per a press release, 'All of the comedians in Anxiety Club have created standup or sketch material about their mental health that is not only funny but uniquely relatable and disarming to audiences. Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. 'With comedy, vulnerability, and honesty, these comedians provide remarkable insight into anxiety — the most prevalent mental health disorder affecting an estimated 300 million people worldwide,' the release continues of the Wendy Lobel-directed documentary. In a more serious scene, List says during an on-camera interview, 'I guess there's a lot of pain there. Fear and anger. I think it's a desire for the feeling of peace for myself and people I love.' Carolin Ehrenburg, Jonathan Gray and Scott Sinkler produce Anxiety Club. Jeff Spivack is a co-producer and Ehrenburg edited the film. Anxiety Club arrives on Jolt on Aug. 15.

Michigan State transfer guard commits to Santa Clara following two years in East Lansing
Michigan State basketball landed guard Gehrig Normand out of North Richland Hills, Texas in the 2023 recruiting class. The guard played two years in East Lansing before making the decision to transfer. A 6-foot-5 guard, Normand could never really find time to get on the floor for the Spartans. In his two years, he redshirted for one, and in year two, he only played in 13 games for the Spartans. Following the 2024-25 season, Normand entered the transfer portal. Now, the former Spartan has found his new home. Late on Saturday night, Normand has announced that he has committed to Santa Clara of the West Coast Conference. He will have three years of eligibility with him when he gets to the west coast. Normand averaged 0.6 points and 0.2 assists during his time in East Lansing, but was known as an outstanding teammate at MSU.
