Twelve drivers arrested in five days in new crackdown
A dozen people have been arrested for drink and drug driving, as police target offenders in a rural area. Cumbria police said the arrests were made in the Eden area in the last five days. Ten drivers were found under the influence of drugs and two above the legal alcohol limit. "Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is one of the 'Fatal Four' - which are the four main behaviours which cause death or serious injury on the road network alongside speeding, using a mobile phone at the wheel and not wearing a seatbelt," a spokesman for the force said. They added the majority of the people arrested were local residents and there would be more road patrols in Eden and the South Lakes. The force said: "Officers will continue to hold those who are putting other people in danger to account." Follow BBC Cumbria on X, Facebook, Nextdoor and Instagram.

Jordan Scott cements his legacy at South Lakes with another state title
RICHMOND — When South Lakes returned to VCU's Siegel Center with a chance to repeat as state champions Saturday, it didn't bring back many players who received meaningful minutes in last year's Virginia Class 6 final. A Seahawks team flush with talent and depth finally won its first state title last year and accomplished something previous South Lakes teams, even those led by Hall of Famer Grant Hill, could not. Despite losing 11 players to graduation or transfer, the Reston program brought back Michigan State signee Jordan Scott, an emerging forward in Merrick Rillstone and a tight-knit group looking to reach the summit again.

South Lakes, C.G. Woodson advance to Virginia Class 6 boys' basketball final
South Lakes retained four-star Michigan state signee Jordan Scott after winning the program's first state title last winter, but the Seahawks had plenty of work to do in order to have a chance of repeating this season. South Lakes lost 11 players from last year's title-winning team, but the returners who saw what it took to win a state championship slowly adapted to larger roles. South Lakes showcased that growth in a win against No. 14 Hayfield in Tuesday's state quarterfinal, a result that allowed it to host Friday's Virginia Class 6 semifinal against Virginia Beach's Landstown.
