You earned it. | Giannotto SCHEDULE: Memphis basketball releases home nonconference schedule Brown compared Duren to a young version of Shawn Kemp citing his athleticism and size as two factors that remind him of the six-time NBA All-Star He added that what stands out about Duren is his attitude "He just seems like a great teammate who wants to get better and those are the people that I think Penny is lookin to recruit and those are the kind of kids I want to be associated with want to come to practice every day want to get better and I think that's entirely what Jalen is about," Brown said.  Brown said he had been on a Zoom call with Hardaway and Duren before as well and was impressed by his maturity Duren turned down an offer of over a million dollars to play in the G League as well as offers from other top basketball programs HIGH SCHOOL: Jalen Duren chose Memphis. Here's how the Delaware basketball standout got here "When you're able to compete against Miami and Kentucky for a kid of his program and what he's trying to build," Brown said.  Brown said other factors that may have pushed Duren to college basketball over the G League.He would prefer young athletes to assimilate into a college environment that teaches them the importance of an education "I wish the NBA would realize that college basketball might be the greatest minor league system that we have .. I really think they're going to do away with this one-and-done because of this likeness but a lot of times kids that make that decision really aren't ready and we don't talk about those kids that fail I think the system fails more than the kids fail," Brown said Claire Kuwana is a sports reporting intern at the Memphis Commercial Appeal Contact her at claire.kuwana@commercialappeal.com or follow her on Twitter @clairekuwana Today's print edition Home Delivery Atsuko Kuwana relies on a wheelchair to get around but since moving to Hawaii and taking up scuba diving four years ago she has experienced movement in a whole new way "Everyone is pretty much the same under the water — we are all basically 'disabled,' as we can't talk I need extra help to get in and out of the water it's so peaceful down there."googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1499653692894-0'); }); Kuwana suffered a spinal cord injury when her mother went into labor unexpectedly and had to give birth in an unfamiliar hospital have never stopped Kuwana from pursuing and creating opportunities to propel herself forward in life In a time of both misinformation and too much information quality journalism is more crucial than ever.By subscribing Your subscription plan doesn't allow commenting.

said at 2021 SEC Media Days on Wednesday.  RECOGNITION: Alabama football receiver John Metchie III named top Canadian in college football ANALYSIS: 5 things we learned about Alabama football at SEC Media Days 2021 TOPPMEYER: Hey, Nick Saban, is it OK if I call you Nick? came from just being Smith's teammate and observing him off the field bringing in your best self day in and day out and just being consistent," Metchie III said.  Metchie III exploded into the national college football scene after he delivered a standout performance against Texas A&M last season With Waddle's injury expanding his role Metchie totaled 916 yards and six touchdowns on 55 catches.  Metchie III continues to take after Smith and stress the importance of his mindset He said part of why he is such a solid and tough receiver is his competitiveness and ability to put his mind to something and do it and sights are set on another national championship The question remains of whether Metchie III can take what he learned from Smith and help his team to back-to-back titles.  Sigmon will serve as deputy athletics director at OSU.  Sigmon worked closely within the men's basketball

Start your free trial today. but Miller is particularly well-equipped to take advantage of that opportunity Not only did playing under Maryland coach Brenda Frese help prepare her for Reeve’s toughness and passion but the guard’s ability to embrace change—while also knowing what she brings to the table that it’s her story and her success no matter where she is starting anew—is an asset “My

Boss," could achieve all four of those at once He reassured his dad that it would work for him (and he would say) 'Well they're gonna work for me it was fitting that Kross loved to dress up and play pretend. The minute he arrived home from daycare Kross would change into one of the 25 costumes he had in constant rotation Hughes and his family were staying in Kissimmee last weekend to play in  a basketball tournament for  older brother K'Cyn's  Memphis-based Reform Sports team Kross died after drowning in the pool at the rental home on July 4 according to the Osceola County Sheriff's Office.  Hughes talked to  K'Cyn  and offered him two options: They could drive home that night  or stay and play for an AAU national championship  in Orlando.  his son K'Cyn gave a simple answer:  "I want to play for my brother," the 10-year-old said Reform Sports won the title two days later FRED HORTON: Fred Horton, Shelby County's third-winningest boys basketball coach, is Lifetime Achievement Award winner THE 901: How Penny's decision to stay sets up team for future By the time sheriff's deputies arrived at Acadia Estates Court live-saving measures were already being performed on Kross by Osceola County Fire Rescue.  It's unclear how long Kross had been under water before he was found.  Hughes had been sitting outside on a chair but did not realize his son was missing according to an incident report obtained by The Commercial Appeal which had been redacted to exclude all names.  Hughes was identifiable as "father" in the report.  Hughes advised deputies that he was the only adult in the pool area around the time of the incident He believed Kross was inside the house and did not see him enter the pool or how he was discovered.  Hughes was "extremely distraught," according to the report was "crying hysterically and could not talk" when police attempted to gain information on the event.  Kross was transported to AdventHealth Celebration Hospital A sheriff's department spokesperson said the case has been closed.   his death was reported to the Florida Department of Children and Families WEEKEND IN MEMPHIS: Violent holiday weekend leaves 7-year-old boy dead, 3 people critically injured Reform coach Jelisa Scruggs said Kross' death gave the team renewed purpose. Hughes offered other players the choice to stay or go home and each gave the same response as K'Cyn to stay and it showed a brotherhood," Scruggs said "They supported their brother throughout that entire time If one kid wasn't around him three or four was around him They wrapped their hands around their brother and protected him." Scruggs described the moment as one of the hardest days of her life The group of third-grade boys were ecstatic to win the championship; some players cried and many of them slept with their hats and medals still on that night.  "It was like Kross was in the building," Hughes said described as energetic and spontaneous He was a constant presence in the gym At one Reform game, Kross was hanging out in his usual spot on the team's bench when he asked Scruggs if he could play with the team She told him he could but only if he found a jersey Unsurprisingly, the young boy picked up one of the players' shooting shirts To keep her promise, Scruggs sent Kross onto the court to run around with the team for a short while.  Kross was the boy everyone loved to be around and Kross could make people laugh by just being his carefree self whether that meant snatching the hat off someone's head or playing on the bleachers in the gym.  "If you didn't know the definition of how to have free spirit and how to live your life and have fun "He was a genuine type of glow for the world He just had life in him. It was just pure life."

Tennessee Vols football's first touchdown of the 2021 season on Joe Milton run A $220,000 bet on the Vols was a strong flex considering the program lost a slew of starters to the transfer portal and

information has served as the backdrop for the “Ageuma Shinji” (Horse jumping festival) designated by the prefectural government as an intangible folk cultural property features powerful horses mounted by young people charging up a muddy earthen ramp near the entrance to the shrine At the top is a 2-meter-high mud wall that they are supposed to scale How well they do is said to foretell the state of the coming harvest But next year’s event will almost certainly be different due to concerns about the way the animals are treated The festival had come under intense criticism following revelations the horses are administered stimulants to get them through the ordeal broke its leg and had to be put down this year There were also reports of horses being lashed with ropes before they ascended the slope This year marked the first time since 2019 for the event to be held because of the COVID-19 pandemic Mie prefectural authorities called for aspects of the annual ritual to be reviewed so as not to put an undue strain on the horses taking note of campaigns to stop animal abuse Long-established cultural practices that had triggered howls of indignation over the mistreatment of animals were already an issue half a century ago when legislation was first drawn up to protect living creatures from abuse Diet discussions on the draft of the animal protection law in 1973 tackled live shows in Okinawa featuring fights between highly venomous “habu” vipers native to the island prefecture and mongooses it was argued that the performances had “historic value” and as such could not be regarded as abusive the legislation has undergone repeated revisions in line with growing awareness about animal welfare It was renamed the law on welfare and management of animals and given teeth with provisions for harsher penalties some events and shows referred to as legal when  the legislation was first drawn up have already disappeared no bouts of that kind have been held since a specialized facility in Katsurahama Park closed for good in 2017 A legal revision in 2020 stipulated that putting animals in situations that result in external injuries constituted abuse The snake-mongoose show--a tourist draw generally not found outside of Okinawa Prefecture--can no longer be watched Around the time when the Group of Eight summit was held in Okinawa Prefecture and Kyushu in 2000 the prefecture instructed the organizers of the snake-mongoose show to modify the entertainment program to one that goes without fighting organizers of other time-honored events have taken steps to match the spirit of the times in the hope of conserving their traditions Among them is the Tsunotsuki bull-versus-bull showdown in Ojiya which is designated as a nationally important intangible folk cultural property A veterinarian is now on hand at the festival site following a 2013 legal amendment that rendered it mandatory to provide injured animals with swift and proper treatment a folklore professor at the University of Tokyo who chairs the Ojiya Bullfighting Promotion Council Festival organizers also started study sessions on animal welfare They were gratified to learn that their traditional custom of ending matches in a draw before any real harm was done was highly praised as was their policy of not sharpening the bulls’ horns before a fight The officials believe those rules should be handed down to posterity “We will be preserving Tsunotsuki while changing what can be changed in line with the trend of the times,” said Suga some things that were long taken for granted are no longer compatible with modern norms Asked if any accommodation can ever be reached on such occasions “Enormous efforts are essential for those passing down traditions while outsiders need to continuously build channels in a quest to understand each other’s opinions.” Even time-honored events can be classified as illicit abuse under the law on welfare and management of animals given that it bans putting animals in situations that can result in traumatic injuries “It is possible that events will not be categorized as abuse if appropriate reasons are offered such as handing down a ritual for posterity,” acknowledged an Environment Ministry official the ministry said causing unnecessary pain to animals could be construed as abuse it falls within the judicial scope” to examine individual cases and make specific judgments for each of them (This article was written by Kyoka Watanabe and Takashi Tomioka.)

jumping festival) after the event came under intense criticism over its treatment of the animals During this year’s festival held at Tado shrine here in May one horse stumbled and broke its front left leg It was administered a painkiller but was put down after deliberations between its owner and a vet Sources said prefectural government officials also observed festival participants repeatedly hitting the horses with traditional “happi” coats or ropes Although such behavior “cannot be described as animal abuse it was still inappropriate” in light of the Welfare and Management of Animals Law the Kuwana city government tweeted about the festival with photos The tweet garnered more than 1,000 comments most of them critical of the decision to put down the injured horse as well as the treatment of the horses Many responses blasted the way the horses were forced to run up a steep slope and jump over the high wall The prefectural government also received about 1,000 complaints about the festival from across the country The verbal improvement instruction will be issued to the shrine and an “ujiko” organization that has traditionally provided horses for the festival according to sources at the prefectural government Ujiko literally means worshippers of a guardian deity of a particular area is held at the shrine on May 4 and 5 every year Horses carrying young riders in traditional warrior attire rush up the steep slope during the festival It is believed that the state of the coming harvest can be predicted by whether the horses can jump over the 1.5-to-2-meter-tall mud wall placed at the top of the slope The festival is believed to have started around 700 years ago during the Nanboku-cho period (1336-1392) The prefectural government has designated the festival an intangible folk cultural property horses belonging to the Mikuriya ujiko organization came from six districts to take part in the festival The six horses each ran up the slope three times only three horses successfully cleared the mud wall after being manually pulled to the top of wall by festival participants the participants hit the animals with ropes and happi coats Some aggressively waved the happi coats or yelled loudly at the horses The “council for measures to prevent accidents at Ageuma Shinji,” whose members include Mikuriya representatives and officials of the prefectural government and the Kuwana city government The prefectural government plans to give verbal instructions for improvements at the meeting But an official responsible for animal protection issues at the food safety section at the prefectural government said improvements must be made for the festival to continue “We would like to report to those concerned the fact that the festival attracted much criticism,” the official said “It’s difficult to continue the festival without making improvements A shrine official said about the reported behavior at the festival: “If that was true We will strive to follow relevant laws and regulations and make sure that historical and cultural values (of the festival) will not be harmed.” The festival had been accused of abusing horses in the past drink sake or were kicked in the lower belly before they ran up the slope the Mie prefectural board of education instructed festival organizers to stop behavior that goes against the spirit of animal welfare Mikuriya decided not to give the horses unnecessary medication or injections during the festival It also decided that people who are not riders will not carry tools Foreign workers the winning ticket

last year horseback riders in the Ageuma Shinji (Horse jumping festival) at Tado Taisha shrine here get their animals to leap over an earthen wall about 2 meters high after reaching the top of the slope is held to divine crop harvests based on whether the horses ridden by young residents in feudal attire can clear the final obstacle the festival came under fire after a horse broke a front leg and was put down last year organizers decided to do away with the earthen wall modify the slope to make it less steep and prohibit riders from inflicting violence on the horses to make them run The steps to lessen the burden on horses were adopted based on a recommendation from the prefectural board of education six horses conquered the slope in turns to applause from spectators “I am relieved that everything went well,” said Yoshichiyo Ito “The festival has changed from its traditional form but it is OK if both people and horses are safe and unhurt.” A 47-year-old resident who watched the festival said: “For someone of my age But we must accept that changes must be made so the festival turns out to be a success.” Some members of an animal protection group held up placards in the front
