Olympian Asher Hong rolls to second national title at the U.S. gymnastics championships

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Asher Hong cruised to his second national title in men’s gymnastics on Saturday, pulling away from the field for an easy victory at the U.S. Championships.

The 21-year-old Hong, part of the five-man team that earned bronze at the Paris Olympics last summer, posted a two-day total of 170.020 to win easily despite a rare miscue on the high bar during the first rotation on Saturday.

Not that it mattered. Hong became the 13th man to win multiple national titles with ease. The 2023 champion entered with a massive lead of over four points thanks to six steady routines Thursday.

Hong finished with the top scores on floor exercise, vault and still rings, events where the rising Stanford senior’s power easily translates.

The real race was for second, where Frederick Richard ‘s two-day total of 162.555 was just enough to slip by Fuzzy Benas at 162.310. Richard managed to finish runner-up despite voluntarily taking 0.6 points in deductions for wearing a nonconforming uniform on parallel bars, high bar, pommel horse and rings.

Rather than don the stirrup pants that have long been the norm, Richard wore gray shorts with matching leggings underneath, a small sacrifice the 21-year-old says he’s willing to make while competing at domestic elite meets in hopes of making the sport a little “cooler” to potential fans.

Colt Walker was fourth in the final meet before the world championships in Jakarta, Indonesia, in October.

Two-time national champion Brody Malone, who skipped floor exercise and vault to put a little less stress on his surgically repaired right knee, placed first on parallel bars, second on rings and third on pommel horse to put him in a strong position to return to worlds for the first time since 2022.

Stephen Nedoroscik, the pommel horse specialist who became a viral sensation while winning two bronze medals in Paris, was fifth in his return to competition following a lengthy post-Olympic break that included a stint on “Dancing With the Stars.”

While Hong, Richard, Malone and Nedoroscik are pressing on, the fifth member of the 2024 Olympic team — Paul Juda — announced his retirement Saturday night.

Jays Land Four Star Katrelle Harmon

The Creighton Bluejays landed their highest rated player in the 2026 class as 4-star Katrelle Harmon committed to the Jays. The 6-4 guard out of Seattle by way of Wasatch Acadamy in Utah was a heavily recruited player after his excellent showing in the summer circuit. Harmon chose Creighton over Alabama, Iowa, Rutgers, Washington and Oregon. The Seattle native joins Jaiyden Coon as the second member of the 2026 class

Bluejay Banter was granted an exclusive question and answer session with Katrelle after he announced his commitment at 7:30pm central time.

BJB: First, congratulations on the commitment Katrelle. Tell us what were the most important factors in choosing Creighton over the other schools?

Harmon: The biggest factors were the culture of the program, style of play and the relationship built with the coaching staff. Creighton plays a fast-paced style that really fits my game. I also felt a strong connection with the players—it’s a team-first mentality here, and everyone is locked in on winning. On top of that the fan support, facilities and commitment to basketball are second to none.

BJB: Trey Zeigler was the main assistant you dealt with at Creighton. Share what your relationship was with coach Zeigler and why you connected with him.

Harmon: Coach Zeigler was genuine from the very beginning. He didn’t just recruit me as a player, he got to know me as a person. He’s straightforward, but also encouraging and I felt like he believed in me and my potential right away. That trust and honesty made it easy to connect with him.

BJB: Coach Huss joined the staff this spring and visited you this summer. What were your impressions of coach Huss?

Harmon: Coach Huss made a great impression on me. He’s energetic, detailed and has a great basketball mind. You can tell he really cares about developing players and holding them to a high standard. I could see right away that he’s passionate about the game and about helping this program compete at the highest level.

BJB: For those fans that haven’t seen you play, describe your game and what you bring to the court?

Harmon: I’d say my game is built on versatility and competitiveness. I can score in different ways—driving, shooting or playing off the ball—but I also take pride in my defense and making the right play. I bring energy, toughness and a willingness to do whatever the team needs to win,

BJB: With no football hoops is king at Creighton. What are your thoughts about playing before rabid 18,000 fans at the CHI Health Center?

Harmon: It’s exciting. Not every player gets a chance to play in front of that kind of crowd and at Creighton its every night. I can’t wait to feel that energy, feed off the fans and give them something to cheer for. Playing in the CHU Health Center is going to be special. It’s one of the best environments in college basketball.

BJB: What are your thoughts about the Creighton campus and the city of Omaha?

Harmon: The campus feels like home. Everything is close, the facilities are top notch and the people are welcoming. Omaha has a great mix. It’s big enough to have everything you need but it still has that tight-knit community feel. I can see why people love it here.

BJB: How much was Creighton’s recent success in the NCAA tournament a determining factor in your decision to pick the Bluejays?

Harmon: Seeing Creighton compete deep into March showed me that this program knows how to win on the biggest stage. It’s proof that the coaching staff can develop players and that the team’s style of play works against the best in the country. As a competitor, you want to be part of something like that. Creighton is a program with a real chance to make runs in the tournament every year.

Harmon made his commitment while participating in the Strictly HS 3×3 Nationals in Minnesota. He is ranked as the 66th best player in the class of 2026, according to the On3 rankings.

Meet Cam Little, the Jaguars kicker who just booted a 70-yard field goal

Jacksonville Jaguars kicker Cam Little dropped jaws across the NFL world on Saturday night after he nailed a 70-yard field goal in a home preseason game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

It’s unofficially the longest field goal in NFL history in either the preseason or regular season. Even if it doesn’t “count” since it wasn’t in an official game, it’s still absolutely staggering all the same.

So, who is Little? Well, he’s a 2024 sixth-round draft pick out of Arkansas who earned the Jaguars kicking job in his rookie season. He went 27-for-29 in his first season, a 93.1-percent completion rate.

He enters his second NFL season on fire with his absolutely astounding 70-yard field goal. We have a feeling NFL fantasy managers across the globe are about to flag Little for their rosters this season.

Seriously, you’re going to want to know who this guy is. Jaguars fans likely know how clutch Little is as the team’s primary kicker. The whole NFL world will know who he is by the end of the weekend.

When does the Jaguars’ season start?

The team’s season opens at home against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday, Sept. 7.

OKC Thunder jersey history No. 40 – John Brisker (1972-75)

The Oklahoma City Thunder (and the Seattle Supersonics before them) have 51 jersey numbers worn by the players who have suited up for the franchise since its founding at the start of the 1967-68 season. To commemorate the players who wore those numbers, Thunder Wire is covering the entire history of jersey numbers and the players who sported them since the founding of the team.

And while those Supersonics jerseys may not remain part of the franchise history should a new team be established in Seattle as was the case with the return of the Charlotte Hornets, they are part of the Thunder’s history today.

For this article, we continue with the 38th jersey number in the series, jersey No. 40, with 11 players in total having donned the jersey in the history of the franchise.

The third of those players who did so in the Seattle SuperSonics era, wing alum John Brisker. After ending his college career at Toledo, Brisker was picked up with the 219th overall selection (there were many more rounds in that era of the draft) of the 1969 NBA Draft by the Philadelphia 76ers.

The Detroit, Michigan native instead elected to sign with the ABA’s (defunct) Pittsburgh Pipers/Condors, playing three seasons with them before signing with Seattle in 1972 for his final three seasons in the NBA.

During his time suiting up for the Sonics, Brisker wore only jersey Nos. 42 and 40 and put up 11.9 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 1.8 assists per game.
