NEW ORLEANS — Xavier University of Louisiana and the Greater New Orleans Sports Foundation have partnered to host the Tamika Catchings Legacy Tour Basketball Clinic on July 19 at the Xavier University Convocation Center. This is the second year that Catchings — a legendary basketball player for the University of Tennessee, USA Basketball and the WNBA's Indiana Fever — has conducted nationwide clinics to teach youth basketball fundamentals, sportsmanship and healthy lifestyle choices. The free clinic, scheduled from 10 a.m. to noon on July 19, is open to girls and boys ages 9-14. Catchings is a four-time Olympic gold medalist, a seven-time first-team WNBA selection, a five-time WNBA Defensive Player of the Year and a four-time Kodak/WBCA All-America first-team selection at Tennessee. She was the 2011 WNBA MVP and led Indiana to the 2012 WNBA title. She is the WNBA career leader in rebounds, steals, made free throws and attempted free throws. Catchings was recipient of the 2015 ESPN Sports Humanitarian of the Year award and co-recipient of the 2016 National Civil Rights Museum Sports Legacy award.
"The Greater New Orleans Sports Foundation and Xavier University are great partners and frequently work together to bring sporting events to Louisiana," said Sports Foundation President/CEO Jay Cicero. "This free clinic, in partnership with WNBA Legend Tamika Catchings, is a great way to give back and provide an unforgettable experience for the local youth in our community." Said XULA Director of Athletics & Recreation Jason Horn, "Xavier University is known for its tradition of community involvement and giving back. It is in that spirit that we are pleased to partner with the WNBA and Tamika Catchings for her Legacy Tour Basketball Clinic. We look forward to a fun and educational experience for local youth." XULA's Convocation Center opened in November 2012, seats approximately 4,000 and features all-chairback seating. It was the site of Gulf Coast Athletic Conference basketball tournaments for women and men the past five seasons. This past summer the facility hosted Master P's Hope Nola Celebrity Basketball Game.

3-Star guard and Houston native joins Texas Southern Tigers as freshman in 2018-19.
HOUSTON, Texas -- After receiving a release from his University of Houston National Letter of Intent (signed on November 9, 2017; decommit on May 25, 2018), guard Antoine Davis has committed to Texas Southern University. Antoine is the son of Texas Southern head basketball coach Mike Davis and selected the Tigers over interests from Auburn, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Memphis and SMU. He previously selected Houston over offers from Nevada, Stephen F. Austin, UTEP, Colorado State, Cal State Bakersfield, Massachusetts, Tennessee-Martin and Arkansas Little-Rock.
Davis, who measures 6-foot-2 and 175 pounds, was a 3-star recruit by ESPN and Rivals. As a junior with the Homeschool Christian Youth Association in Houston, he averaged 23.0 points per game.
UH head basketball coach Kevin Sampson had this to say about Davis upon his signing with the Cougars: “I am really excited about Antoine Davis. He comes from a basketball background. He is the best shooter I have seen in this State since I have been at Houston, but he is more than just a shooter,” Sampson said. “Antoine is a self-made player. He is a good ball-handler and a good passer.” “Antoine brings a high basketball IQ because he has been around the game all his life. He is just over the top in shooting skills. He works on his shooting like no one I have ever seen before,” said Coach Tony Lusk, who led Davis with HHA during the 2016-17 season. “He is very quiet but will give you the shirt off his back. He is a model citizen and a good young man to be around.”
His father, Mike Davis, is a long-time college basketball coach and has served as the head coach at Texas Southern since 2012. The Tigers of Texas Southern University saw their magical 2017-18 season come to an end with a 102-83 loss to Xavier University, the No. 1-seeded team in the West Region in the NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Tournament. Making their eighth appearance at the NCAA's Division I Tournament, the Tigers (16-20) claimed their first-ever win at college basketball's premier event with a 64-46 First Four win over North Carolina Central University. TSU's trip to the 2018 Tournament was the fourth in five seasons. Coach Mike Davis also claimed his eighth career Tournament win as a coach in the win over NCCU.

AUSTIN, Texas – Indiana baseball (39-18) picked up a 6-0 victory over the Texas Southern Tigers on Saturday afternoon to advance in the Austin NCAA Regional.
Junior starting pitcher Pauly Milto tossed a complete game for the Hoosiers, as he allowed just four hits while striking out 10 and walking two. It marked Milto's second complete game of the season (also did so against Boston College on Feb. 24). The 10 strikeouts were just one shy of his career-high (11 vs. N.C. State in Lexington Regional last season).
Indiana had 11 hits in the game, which included five extra-base hits and four different Hoosiers collecting multi-hit games. Junior Ryan Fineman led the way as he was 2-for-3 with a home run, double and two RBI. Sophomore Scotty Bradley also went 2-for-3 and drove in a run, while freshman Justin Walker was 2-for-4 with an RBI. Sophomore Matt Gorski additionally added two hits in the win.
In the top of the fourth, Bradley worked a two-out walk to give the Hoosiers a runner. From there, Fineman cranked a double to the right centerfield gap to score Bradley from third. That would be the beginning of three consecutive extra base hits, as Walker and sophomore Jeremy Houston followed with an RBI double and triple respectively to make it a 3-0 advantage.
In the top of the fifth inning, Gorski reached first on a bunt single with one out and then stole second base. Following a pitching change, senior Logan Sowers doubled down the left field line to score Gorski from second to extend the lead to four runs. The fifth run of the game came on an RBI single by Bradley to give the Hoosiers a 5-0 lead.
With one out in the top of the eighth, Fineman added some insurance with a solo home run, his seventh home run of the year.
Indiana will play the loser of Texas and Texas A&M at 3 p.m. ET on Sunday. BOX SCORE
CHAPEL HILL – A two-hour, twenty-eight-minute rain delay slowed down the conclusion of the best season in North Carolina A&T Aggies baseball history.
Once the skies did clear, Purdue, who had a double-digit lead when the delay started in the eighth inning, went on to defeat the Aggies 14-4 in an elimination game at the NCAA tournament Chapel Hill Regional at Boshamer Stadium Saturday.
But there is no timetable on how long the 2018 N.C. A&T baseball team will be remembered. The Aggies (32-25), the No. 4 seed out of the regional, won a school-record 32 games, ended a 13-year Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference championship tournament title drought, they won the regular-season for the first time in 13 years, they won a school-record 16 conference games and they were an impressive 20-11 at home.
To cap it off, they were rewarded with a trip to the NCAA tournament. The Aggies came into Saturday’s game not willing to concede their season would end, however.
Over the first three innings of the game against the Boilermakers (38-20), the second seed out of the regional, the Aggies were their equal. After giving up two runs in the visitor’s first, the Aggies got one of those runs back when junior Dawnoven Smith singled through the right side for an RBI single that scored senior Forest Kimbrell from second after Kimbrell singled and stole second.
It was the Aggies first run scored at Boshamer Stadium in five tries after being shut out by the North Carolina Tar Heels in 2008, 2014 and twice in 2018.
N.C. A&T evened the score at 2 in the second inning when Kimbrell hit a line-drive single over the head of Boilermaker shortstop Harry Shipley into left field. Redshirt freshman Justin Williams scored after he reached on a fielder’s choice and moved to second on a single from senior Greg White.
The Aggies then chased Purdue left-hand starter Gareth Stroh from the game in the third. Smith started Stroh’s troubles by opening the inning with a triple off the 400-foot signage marked on the wall in deep center field. RHP Trent Johnson replaced Stroh and had his first pitch roll to the backstop allowing Smith to score to give the Aggies a 3-2 lead.
But the Aggies relinquished the lead in the fourth. With the bases full of Boilermakers, Nick Dalesandro singled to right field to tie the game at 3 as Evan Warden scored. An RBI sacrifice fly by Skyler Hunter gave the Boilermakers the lead for good. When Jacson McGowan recorded an RBI single through the right side it gave Purdue a 5-3 lead and ended the afternoon of N.C. A&T starter Michael Johnson (RHP). Johnson went 3.2 innings and surrendered six runs with no strikeouts.
“They made it really tough on Michael Johnson and that was kind of the story of the game along with some mistakes and not filling up the zone throughout the game,” said Hall.
Purdue put the game away with a six-run sixth inning to take an 11-3 lead. The Aggies scored their final run of the 2018 season in the ninth inning. Junior pinch-hitter James Rorie reached on a two-base error and White brought him home with an RBI single through the left side.
White was 5-for-9 in the regional including a 3-for-5, one-RBI day on Saturday. Kimbrell went 2-for-5 with an RBI on Saturday and Smith added a 2-for-4 day that included a run scored and an RBI.
“I think we played our best ball in the conference tournament and then we had two weeks off while everyone else was still getting into their rhythm,” said Smith. “That hurt us in some areas, not being able to see live pitching. Our pitchers not getting up there and facing live batters definitely played a factor.”
Hall will have to say goodbye to a special senior class in RHP Marcello Betances, RHP Josh Bottenfield, third baseman A.J. Hunt, shortstop Forest Kimbrell, RHP K.J. McAlister, catcher Adan Ordonez, LHP Jonah Owenby, second baseman Milton Rivera, center fielder Myles Sowell, RHP Josh Stikeleather and left fielder Greg White.
Key sluggers in Smith and Zach McLean will return along with promising second baseman Justin Williams. Sophomore outfielder Shane Faulk also has a lot of promise and the Aggies played all season without All-MEAC shortstop Brandon Melendez. Sophomore Camden Williamson will also be coming back from injury.
Strong defensive outfielder Jason King and Rorie, a reserve first baseman, are slated to come back.
Perhaps best of all for the Aggies is that most of their pitching staff that posted a 4.18 ERA is back including weekend pitchers Johnson and Tim Luth (RHP).
“Our seniors may not have the ability to reflect on it this season for a few days because they’re disappointed in having their season ended today,” said Hall. “One day they’re going to be able to look back and be proud that they were a major part in building the foundation of this program.
My goal is to have this group of seniors come back and see an even better product than they saw when they were here and see guys have a better experience as well. We want to keep growing and getting better. I want them to be very proud of where we end up.”

LOS ANGELES, California — Two tables filled with family, friends and colleagues cheered at the mention of Fox Sports reporter Pam Oliver’s name during the 2018 Gracie Awards. She hadn’t taken the stage, but her father-in-law, phone in hand, began taking photos.
“She is the best ever at her job,” said Kevin Burkhardt, a play-by-play announcer for the NFL on Fox, during his introduction of Oliver. “She’s a trailblazer and an icon, and I’m lucky to call her my friend.”
Oliver, in a sequined pantsuit, was camera-ready as people pulled out their cellphones when she accepted the 2018 Gracie Award for on-air talent-entertainment and sports at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel. The awards, sponsored by the Alliance for Women in Media, recognizes “exemplary programming created by women, for women and about women in all facets of media and entertainment,” according to its website.
“When I first heard [I was a recipient of the award], I was very excited because I knew about the Gracies,” Oliver said. “I went and looked at the previous roster from 2017, and then I saw some of the women that have been honored with me and I was floored. To somehow stand out and be amongst that group of women, I was somewhat thinking, gosh, I’m a little starstruck. Then you are like, ‘How did I get into this?’ Then I’m like, ‘You know what? I earned it,’ so I’m really honored. It’s really a career highlight.”
Among the women honored at this year’s Gracies were Rita Moreno, April Ryan, Issa Rae, Hoda Kotb and Niecy Nash.
“I had an opportunity to talk to a lot of media leading up to tonight about what it is I do and how much I love it,” she told the hundreds of women there. “There are two common denominators related to how I was raised, and my passion. One is sports and the other was journalism. One of my favorite questions is, ‘What can you teach young girls that want to do what you do?’ My thing first and foremost is you have to protect your dream. … I’d like to dedicate this to my family and parents who are up in heaven, John and Mary, probably talking about how proud they are of their daughter, and that’s given me wings for so many years.”
NASHVILLE, Tennessee — Growing up, Demontrae Jefferson was almost always the smallest guy on the court. But even at 5-foot-7, he dominated the playgrounds of Milwaukee. Now his aspirations are bigger.
“It’s always been a dream of mine to play in the NBA,” said Jefferson, who’s featured in a mixtape that has more than 3 million views on YouTube. “The knock on me is my height. So when I play guys that are 6-1, 6-2, I have to show that they can’t guard me.”
Trayvon Reed — at 7-feet-2 — was always the biggest guy on the court, so NBA aspirations were always a given. Even on a troubled road that’s taken him to three college programs in four years, those dreams never faded.
“To play in the NBA, that’s the reason why I’m doing this,” Reed said. “People have always told me you’re so big, you’ll be in the NBA one day. I just hope that I can get a shot.”
Reed’s height and a wide wingspan will earn the junior an NBA look one day. Jefferson, despite his size, will get a look just for the way he’s dominated his position in almost every game he’s played this year (which has included averaging 24.2 points against the four ranked schools — Gonzaga, Kansas, Baylor and TCU — that Texas Southern has played this year).
AUSTIN, Texas—Hosting its first regional at UFCU Disch-Falk Field since 2011, No. 1 seed Texas Baseball opened with a 10-0 win over No. 4 seed Texas Southern to move to 1-0 in tournament play. The Longhorns will meet No. 3 seed Texas A&M on Saturday at 6 p.m.
Texas starter Chase Shugart (5-3) dealt against the Tigers. The junior right-hander went six shutout innings, allowing just four hits while fanning five on the night and his offense got going early to put the Longhorns out in front.
In the second, DJ Petrinsky worked a one-out walk and Tate Shaw, who reached base in four of five plate appearances on the night, followed with a single to put runners on the corners. A failed pick-off then advanced Shaw to second and allowed Petrinsky to score to put Texas on top, 1-0. After Jake McKenzie singled through the left side to again place Longhorns on the corners, David Hamilton squeezed home Shaw on a bunt single and Texas led, 2-0, after two.
In the third, the Longhorns broke things open. Zach Zubia opened the frame with a single before Masen Hibbeler drew a walk. With one away, Petrinsky drove the first pitch he saw over the left field fence to push the Texas lead to 5-0. The Longhorns would tack on one more in the inning thanks to a Duke Ellis RBI single and Texas was on top, 6-0, after three. WATCH ESPN REPLAY: Texas Southern vs. #13 Texas (Site 7 / Game 2) (NCAA Baseball Championship)
Texas wasn't done, however. In the bottom of the fifth, Shaw drew a walk and McKenzie singled to center for his second hit of the ballgame. After a fielder's choice error loaded the bases, Kody Clemens took a 1-0 pitch to center field to plate two and pushh the Longhorns lead to 8-0.
Then, with Clemens on first and Hamilton on second, the duo recorded a double steal with Hamilton swiping home to make it 9-0. The straight steal of home was the first for a Longhorn since Mark Payton did so on March 25, 2011, at Oklahoma State.
Petrinsky drove in the Longhorns' 10th run of the ballgame in the eighth when he plated Hibbeler, who had doubled to lead off the inning, and Matteo Bocchi finished with three innings of one-hit baseball for his first career save.
The Longhorns and Aggies meet Saturday evening at 6 p.m. to advance to the championship game of the regional. Saturday's contest will be televised nationally on ESPN2. UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS ATHLETIC COMMUNICATIONS

VIRGINIA STATE UNIVERSITY ATHLETICS MEDIA COMMUNICATION
ROCKLEDGE, Florida -- The 2018 season is rich in quarterbacks across FCS college football. It's only natural the wide receiver class is highly talented as well.
Last year's top three in the FCS in receiving yards - Sam Houston State's Nathan Stewart, UC Davis' Keelan Doss and New Hampshire's Neil O'Connor - are back and part of 12 returning 1,000-yard receivers set to chase the mark again.
Here is a countdown of the 10 best wide receivers in the FCS:
10. (Tie) Elijah Bell, North Carolina A&T, Jr., 6-1, 221
He's a difference-maker who consistently breaks tackles to reach the second level of a defense. He followed up 2016 MEAC rookie of the year honors with an even bigger sophomore campaign, catching 64 passes for 953 yards and 11 touchdowns. 10. (Tie) Dejon Brissett, Richmond, Sr., 6-2, 190
An ability to win 50-50 balls led to Brissett breaking out as an All-CAA wide receiver in 2017. After opening with a 172-yard outing against Sam Houston State, Brissett grabbed 63 receptions for 896 yards and seven touchdowns on the season while combining with big-play teammate Cortrelle Simpson to headline the fourth-ranked passing attack (341.0 ypg) in the FCS.
GREENSBORO, North Carolina — The program waited 13 years to get back into the NCAA baseball tournament.
And so N.C. A&T’s postgame team meeting under a searing sun was not a happy place Friday afternoon.
Michael Busch went 2-for-3 with a long home run and five RBIs, and top-seeded host North Carolina shut out fourth-seeded A&T 11-0 in the first game of the Chapel Hill Regional at Boshamer Stadium.
The Aggies (32-24) drop into the loser’s bracket and play an elimination game at 1 p.m. Saturday against the loser of tonight's game between Houston and Purdue.
“They’re as frustrated as I am,” A&T coach Ben Hall said. “That wasn’t a good (postgame) huddle right there. Because that’s not the team I’ve seen over the last couple of weeks.”
NEW ORLEANS — Xavier University of Louisiana and the Greater New Orleans Sports Foundation have partnered to host the Tamika Catchings Legacy Tour Basketball Clinic on July 19 at the Xavier University Convocation Center.
