BEAVER TOWNSHIP — South Range entered Monday’s Northeast 8 Conference (NE8) match vs. Niles undefeated, having won its first four contests before drawing with Girard in its last game. The Raiders could not match the offensive firepower of the two-time reigning conference champion, ...
BATON ROUGE, La. — Former Cleveland Browns tight end Dae’Quan Wright participated in a walk-through practice conducted by first-year LSU coach Lane Kiffin on Monday as the 11th-ranked Tigers prepared for Saturday night’s season opener against Clemson. Whether Wright or a couple other players who spent part of this offseason with NFL clubs — defensive lineman Zxavian Harris and defensive back Blake Cotton —- ever suit up for LSU remains in doubt because of litigation.

Donald joined a light practice at the Rams’ training complex later Sunday, shaking hands and exchanging hugs with Myles Garrett and the rest of his teammates, both old and new. While he hasn’t ...
PITTSBURGH — Pittsburgh Steelers general manager Omar Khan said cornerback Joey Porter Jr. knows how the club feels about him. The team, however, doesn’t feel strongly enough to adjust its long-held standard of not negotiating during the season in hopes of getting something done. While Khan declined Monday to get into specifics about talks with Porter — who is about to enter the final season of the four-year rookie deal he signed after being the first pick in the second round of the 2023 draft — he reiterated that the team wants Porter to finish his career in ...
