Volleyball notebook: O’Bryant boys all grown up

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 20:32:40 GMT

Paul Pitts-Dilley hadn’t heard of the rule. Frankly, how would he?Before he became the O’Bryant boys volleyball head coach 15 years ago, Pitts-Dilley attended a game as a new teacher at the school. Warmups passed, the opposing team was ready to go and game time arrived, but there was a delay.“(O’Bryant) had to wait for a sixth player to show up,” Pitts-Dilley said. “Then I learned a rule that I didn’t think existed, that for every 10 minutes you don’t have six players, you lose a set. … When I took over, the numbers were really low.”It’s difficult to picture given the Tigers we see today. As soon as you walk through the double-doors into the gym for a home game, the courts are packed with players slugging balls around for warmups. Two sub-varsity teams bolster the program, with 30-plus student-athletes coming out to play over the last seven seasons.The varsity team is a serious Div. 2 state title threat.

Bruins notebook: Brad Marchand filling leadership void

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 20:32:40 GMT

SUNRISE, Fla.–Brad Marchand arrived in the collective consciousness of the North American hockey-watching public a dozen years ago. In the Stanley Cup playoffs, he was an impactful player, notching 11-8-19 totals in 25 games. But it was in the highly contentious Finals against the Vancouver Canucks that he really made a name for himself, most notably with a post-whistle speed-bagging of Daniel Sedin’s head.This is a much different Brad Marchand we are seeing today.In the absence of captain Patrice Bergeron in this playoff series against the Florida Panthers, and in Game 3 David Krejci as well, Marchand has led not only with his play on the ice but also his restraint against a team that is attempting get him off his game with physicality.“I think he’s taken it upon himself, without Patrice being here, to be our mature leader, the guy who is leading us. And he’s doing a great job,” said coach Jim Montgomery. “I think he’s dragging people into the fight be...

Interior Secretary Deb Haaland defended her department’s approval of the contentious Willow oil project on Friday, saying that despite President Joe Biden’s campaign promise to end new drilling on federal lands, “We’re not going to turn the faucet off and say we’re not drilling anymore.”Speaking to the annual conference of the Society of Environmental Journalists, Haaland said the Biden administration is “following the science and the law when it comes to everything we do, and that includes gas and oil” leases considered by her agency, which oversees U.S. public lands and waters.Despite Biden’s pledge, “We’re not going to say we’re not going to use gas and oil. That’s not reality,” Haaland said. “So we are doing the best we absolutely can.”Haaland’s comments came after the administration faced sharp criticism from some of its strongest supporters — especially young climate activists — after Interior approved the $8 billion Willow project on March 13.
