All NFHS Network events are available to watch online at NFHS Network and through the NFHS Network Mobile Apps for iOS and Android and TV Apps for ROKU The University is currently operating under normal conditions Eva Hodgson and Carlie Littlefield are among five current student-athletes enrolled in the UNC Kenan-Flagler MBA program Filippo Zattarin from men's soccer and Tom Watson from men's track and field junior Eva Hodgson scored 11 points off the bench to help the North Carolina women’s basketball team earn a win at Minnesota in Big Ten/ACC Challenge play Hodgson was again at work as part of a five-member cohort this time presenting a marketing plan in her Introduction to Consulting Skills and Frameworks class (Her team was tasked with coming up with ways Chipotle could increase revenue.) That “It went really well,” said Hodgson who got about 90 minutes of sleep between the 4 a.m arrival at home and the pregame prep with her presentation group prior to the 8 a.m Such is the life of a student-athlete/MBA student a once almost unthinkable double that’s becoming more common with the rise of graduate transfers Hodgson is one of two members of the Carolina women’s basketball team currently enrolled in UNC Kenan-Flagler Business School’s MBA program Both completed their undergraduate degrees – Hodgson from William & Mary and Littlefield from Princeton – before arriving in Chapel Hill last summer They’re the first to play for the Carolina women’s basketball team while also working toward MBA degrees and they’re among five current student-athletes enrolled in the Kenan-Flagler MBA program along with Chris Gray from men’s lacrosse Filippo Zattarin from men’s soccer and Tom Watson from men’s track & field “The fact that Eva and Carlie are balancing this as successfully as they are says so much about them as workers and competitors,” coach Courtney Banghart said “They’re both so diligent and responsible about doing what they need to do in order to succeed in basketball and business school at the same time I think ultimately the focus this requires makes them better in both realms – they’re doing a great job for us and I’m sure this balancing act is going to be impressive to future employers.” While their schedule sets them apart from their teammates a bit their ages set them apart from their classmates The norm for business school is at least a few years of work experience following undergraduate studies so most of their classmates are significantly older than Littlefield (23) and Hodgson (21) But while others bring professional experience into the classroom Littlefield has found some advantages to diving into her MBA studies just a few months removed from her undergraduate classes which culminated in May with an economics degree from Princeton “In Mod 1 we had a microeconomics course and I had just come out of the classroom so I was used to working with those equations and concepts whereas our classmates were used to working with real-life business problems,” she said “I’ve found I bring the number-crunching into the group and my other group members bring the real-world applications.” Their first-year cohort is now in a recruiting-heavy time of the schedule interviewing for summer internships and future jobs Both are in the hunt for internships for the coming summer Hodgson in consulting or internal strategy and Littlefield in finance then hope to play professionally overseas before working full-time They already made big recruiting decisions when they decided to use their remaining eligibility at Carolina following standout careers at their first schools Hodgson was the 2019 Colonial Athletic Association Rookie of the Year and earned first-team All-CAA honors in 2020 when she averaged more than 20 points per game Littlefield was a two-time All-Ivy League selection Both had previous ties to Banghart: Hodgson and Littlefield was recruited by Banghart at Princeton and played two years for her there “Welcoming them both here has meant the world to me “With such a young team I knew their leadership and experience was going to be critical but I also knew that we were getting consistent and relentless competitors that were going to do whatever it took to get this program to where it is now and they are loving it here as much as we love having them.” Littlefield participated in team networking events initiated by Banghart when she was the coach there in which women’s basketball alums talked about their career paths “It was kind of always in the back of my mind,” she said “But after Covid happened and changed my plans a little bit [the Ivy League did not compete in 2020-21 leaving Littlefield with another season of eligibility] ‘Why not get it now instead of getting it further down the line?’ It lined up perfectly.” She took the 2020-21 season off from basketball but continued classes to complete her degree in business analytics in three years she started evaluating graduate transfer options Kenan-Flagler has proven to be a great fit “The relationships you’re able to form not only in your class but at so many networking events … it’s a lot of fun,” Hodgson said “It’s been cool,” she said “The Kenan-Flagler Business School is big on building community so it’s awesome to see how excited our classmates are for us to be in there with them just learning from them and doing different group projects I feel like I’ve learned so much already I’m really happy and just feel blessed to get into such a great program.” Carolina was 8-0 and broke into the top 25 of the coaches’ poll for the first time since the preseason in 2015 along with fifth-year senior Jaelynn Murray averaging 9.5 points and a team-best 3.4 assists per game Hodgson provides a spark off the bench with 10.8 points per game and a 52.9 shooting percentage on and off the court,” Banghart said It’s an honor to coach them and I’m so proud of all that they’re doing with everything on their collective plates They are just perfect representatives of Carolina athletics and they make us better on the court every day.” Read more stories on Carolina Athletics at GoHeels.com The dean of the

Redman said neither Moron nor his grandmother Wood called the Littlefield non-emergency number one of Moron's friends saw a Snapchat video Moron posted that showed Rodriguez lying in a pool of blood told jurors the evidence collected in the case will show his client's earlier statement that Rodriguez killed herself would be supported by physical evidence He said he expects jurors will learn that the back of Rodriguez's left hand tested positive for gunshot residue indicating that she was holding the weapon He said investigators also found no trace of gunshot residue on his client's hands Olguin told jurors that a mental evaluation showed Moron had below-average intelligence and was borderline intellectually disabled making him susceptible to making a false confession "He's a dumb kid who just witnessed a traumatic event," he said He said those factors coupled with Moron's family's history with the Littlefield Police Department could explain his behavior with police that day "Certain things happened in the past that give this particular family a good reason not to trust the police," he said jurors heard from two witnesses - Rodriguez's father Ramon Rodriguez told jurors that his daughter went on a trip to Midland with Moron and Wood the day before the shooting The next morning he heard Moron's car honking outside and went out to see Moron fighting with his daughter He said Moron was dragging her out of the vehicle and the couple continued fighting inside his home He said the couple appeared to argue about Rodriguez talking to other boys at the party the night before tripped in the entryway and he saw the tan handle of what looked like a pistol tucked in his front waistband Rodriguez said he threatened to call the police and went into his bedroom to get his phone By the time he returned to the living room his daughter and Moron were gone Rodriguez said he didn't end up calling the police because he didn't want Moron to get in trouble He said later that morning a relative called him Rodriguez told jurors that he and his wife made their way to Lubbock to stay with their daughter during her last moments of life listened to her heartbeat and her last words: "I love you Rodriguez described his daughter as a bright girl who loved photography playing basketball and participating in church activities He said he never saw any signs that she struggled with suicidal thoughts He said he would have sought help for her if he did Wood told jurors she didn't remember Rodriguez coming with them to Midland She said she and her grandson returned late that night She told jurors that as she prepared to turn in for the night a young woman she knew from the grocery store knocked on her door and asked if she and her friends could party at her house Wood told jurors that the woman and the people she was with had a cooler of beer but appeared too young to drink she said she allowed them to party in her front yard Wood said she drank a beer the party goers brought and was dancing with them when one of the partygoers got sick in her bathroom she told them to move the party to the park across the street She said she believed Rodriguez was also drinking that night and stayed the night with them after she got sick Wood said Rodriguez woke up the next morning and began vomiting again She said her grandson drove Rodriguez to her parent's house but returned with her shortly The couple didn't appear to be arguing when they left or when they returned She said her grandson told her that Rodriguez's parents didn't want her there Wood said the couple went to her grandson's room but told them that she was taking Rodriguez home She said a gunshot rang out as she prepared to take the girl home Wood said her grandson told her Rodriguez shot herself She told jurors she didn't know anyone in the house was armed Investigators would later recover one firearm in Wood's home that was under a couch That weapon was not the gun involved in Rodriguez's death Wood's testimony would be the first mention of a second firearm in the case Wood told jurors that a stranger approached her at a mall parking lot and offered to sell her two loaded pistols who had a prior conviction for aggravated robbery told jurors she was unaware she was prohibited from having access to a gun outside of her home She told the jury she kept one in her home under the couch where she slept and the other under the front seat of her vehicle which her grandson was driving the day of the shooting during her testimony Wood gave conflicting statements about which gun she kept in her home and which one was in her vehicle Redman presented Wood with a picture of the weapon found in the home but Wood identified it was the pistol she kept in her vehicle "Who took that gun out of the car and put it under the couch?" Redman asked Wood "I can't answer that cause I do not know," she replied She said she didn't say anything about the second firearm because no one asked her about it and they asked me all these questions," Wood said The trial recessed for the day and Wood was expected back on the stand the next day The recess was extended until Monday after Self informed the parties that he was infected by COVID-19 granted Olguin's motion for a mistrial and the jurors were dismissed DETROIT – Many Metro Detroit residents were awakened by an emergency notification early Monday morning after an explosion at an apartment complex in Detroit Multiple people were injured in the explosion at the apartment complex off Littlefield on March 31 Related: What we know about possible Metro Detroit explosion that triggered emergency alert It’s believed the explosion happened at around 4 a.m., but the notification was sent out around 6 a.m. “POSSIBLE EXPLOSION AT 13910 LITTLEFIELD/UNCONFIRMED AT THIS TIME. UNKNOWN CAUSE.” Some residents may have received a notification that was labeled as extreme, while many received an emergency notification. The Detroit Fire Department confirmed with Local 4 that they sent the notification in error. The notification was meant to be sent only to residents in the surrounding area of the possible explosion but was sent to multiple areas in Metro Detroit by mistake.

Charles “Rick” Littlefield GA to Charles Winston Littlefield and Bertha Nadine Manion Littlefield He was a professor teaching at many Universities across the United States He is survived by his brother Mike Littlefield of Elberton.  Berry Funeral Home and Crematory of Elberton is in charge of the funeral arrangements for Mr she now fears that diagnosis could make him a target Because it could put him on a list somewhere Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F announced the creation of a national autism registry aiming to find the causes of the condition and aid research the agency denied the platform would be a “registry” but said it would “leverage large-scale data resources and foster cross-sector collaboration,” according to a Friday statement Many autism advocates criticized the announcement because of its lack of details around patient privacy “The use of registries and registry data in general can be a valuable tool in helping to understand the causes of diseases and disorders the lack of clarity around how data will be collected maintained and tested for accuracy raises red flags,” the Autism Science Foundation said in a statement Northwest Autism Center founder Dawn Sidell said a registry is “not necessarily a negative.” But she worries how data could be collected and used “It is good to know how many individuals there are with autism so we can make projections about where to put funding and support But adherence to ethical and privacy guidelines are essential I understand people’s concern because we’ve learned some pretty valuable lessons over the decades about safeguarding privacy when we collect data.” In the announcement of a plan to discover the cause of autism by September Kennedy said the condition “destroys” families and children Kennedy also claimed autism was a disease he aimed to cure and suggested it was caused by “environmental toxins.” Many of them will never use a toilet unassisted,” Kennedy said last week While she does think searching for the cause of autism could be helpful Sidell wishes the focus was on how to improve services “There has been research into causes of autism as long as I can remember if not predominate focus on how we provide services and support And on that we are sorely behind,” she said At Spokane’s annual autism walk last weekend That is a waste of time and money,” he said Spokane resident Jamie Sanders said Kennedy’s comments are “just making it worse” for autistic people facing stigma Sanders’ 18-year-old son is nonverbal and requires care But even though he is not able to live independently he is still capable of living a fully realized life “Comments like that make people look at my son and think he needs to be cured but I feel like we should celebrate those differences rather than making people feel bad for it,” she said Sanders worries Kennedy’s rhetoric might pave the way to a return to mass institutionalization – when people with autism and other neurodivergent conditions were automatically placed into an institution away from society “I wonder what they would do with a registry I feel like we’re heading back in time with institutionalization excitedly flapping his arms behind him – a common form of stimulation many children with autism use to self-regulate He likes cars and being outside and physical humor write letters of the alphabet and do simple math Littlefield worries her son “might be a little bored” in kindergarten But Jack also struggles to communicate with his peers and even his parents He just chooses not to use them,” she said “He doesn’t communicate his wants and needs even though he knows the words to get those wants and needs met ‘I need a diaper changed’ or ‘I’m hungry’ or ‘Somebody hurt me.’” Littlefield and her husband noticed Jack’s lack of communication when he was 18 months old It took more than a year-and-a-half to get an autism diagnosis Jack’s communication has drastically improved but it remains unclear what level of support and services Jack will need as he grows to adolescence sees a lot of herself in Jack and hopes his communication will improve as hers did But she worries the stigma of an autism diagnosis may grow alongside him “Any sort of negative messages that your kid gets pounded into their head is never going to be great for them growing up Some of the rhetoric I’m hearing is dangerous and scary to me,” she said “Being autistic doesn’t make you less human.” Give directly to The Spokesman-Review's Northwest Passages community forums series -- which helps to offset the costs
