When LSU football coach Les Miles approaches the position of running back by committee, the committee meetings don’t always have the same seating chart.
JACKSON, Miss. — Mark Brunell has started 150 games and has thrown for 182 touchdowns and almost 32,000 yards in a stellar 15-year NFL career. Southern wide receivers coach Eric Dooley describes his group as hungry. They ought to be. “The next guy has to step up. They’re feeding off the opportunity to play,” Dooley said. The Jaguars have 12 wide receivers in preseason camp, and only two of them caught balls last season. Gary Adkins and the Donaldsonville Tigers are looking for good things this season. When your team compiles a 37-8 record and wins a state title in your first year, there may be a tendency to think things can’t get much better. For Sivi Miller, better is a relative term. The only thing the St. Joseph’s Academy coach is interested in now is how her volleyball team can improve for the upcoming season. “We met last weekend and did some team building work,” Miller said. “One of the first things I told them is that this is a new year. The state title and the matches we won last year don’t count. They don’t guarantee us anything this year.” NEW ORLEANS — LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers will visit New Orleans on Nov. 1. With the team adding shoulder pads for the first time this fall, the practice slate included a few competitive and physical sessions. GONZALES — Jesuit High-based Retif also pounded out 13 hits while claiming in a 6-5 win over Brother Martin-based Peake BMW. EUGENE, Ore. — LSU’s Megan McChrystal won two holes late for a 2 and 1 victory over North Carolina’s Sydney Crane on Wednesday. Tyrone Butler, Christian Harris, Reginald Johnson and Malik Kelly teamed to set a national record in 400-meter relay. Listings for Thursday. |
