He was five when he started appearing in tv commercials, and by the time he turned 20, keith had starred in various movies, including the romantic comedy “cousins”, the family drama “cheetah and friends” both in 1989, and the black comedy “don’t tell mom the babysitter’s dead” in 1991. keith attended a local high school at which he played football and basketball, but upon matriculating in 1988, he chose to focus on his acting career rather than to enroll at a college. roles in movies keith has been credited with appearing in around 80 movies and tv series, the majority of these roles before turning 20. in 1992, he played ted dickson in the horror mystery “forever”, which received mixed reviews and a couple of his following roles were in the 1994 war comedy “in the army now”, the 1995 action film “the power within”, and the 1996 action sports comedy “downhill willie”.

Rapids select their own player, five others in 2026 MLS SuperDraft

Posted on Friday, December 19 @ 00:01:28 PST (9 reads)

Getting your trinity audio player ready... In one of the weirdest mechanisms in mls, the colorado rapids’ hand was forced to use their sixth-overall pick on their own player in thursday’s 2026 mls superdraft. that was 19-year old rapids 2 standout mamadou billo diop, who on thursday morning was mysteriously included on the list of players eligible to be selected. He signed an r2 contract ahead of the 2025 season and balled out to the tune of 14 goals (fifth in mls next pro) and two assists. but one unnamed mls team found a loophole which the league used precedent to approve his eligibility: since he played high school soccer in florida and did not compete in college or at any mls academy, he could be entered into the draft if a team requested it and the league approved it. There have been a few such instances of high school players being good enough to skip college and enter the draft, but it’s very rare for an active mls next pro player to be involved. so, in order to retain the star senegalese prospect, the rapids used their highest pick, no. 6 overall, to select diop. A proven asset at the level where most draft picks end up, the club may have lost him if it waited any longer. the rapids entered the draft with eight picks, made two draft day trades and walked away with six players and extra general allocation money (gam). One trade was with sporting kansas city, where colorado gave up the 19th overall pick for $50,000 in 2026 gam and the 44th pick. The rapids flipped that pick, along with their natural 40th overall pick, for $75,000 in 2027 gam. here are the five players the rapids selected (not including diop): no. 10 overall: mitchell baker, f, georgetown the sophomore australian forward scored 14 goals and provided three assists in 2025 for a very good hoyas team that won the big east, was seeded seventh in the ncaa tournament and lost in the quarterfinal to eventual national runner-up nc state. He was named a 2025 mac hermann trophy semifinalist. no. 26 overall: wahabu musah, f, clemson in just 13 starts this year, the ghanaian sophomore forward scored six goals for the tigers on the way to a second-team all-acc nod and a first-round exit in the ncaa tournament. no. 56 overall: asher hestad, d, washington the redshirt freshman center back from seattle contributed greatly to the huskies in his debut season, who won the national title in overtime against nc state on sunday. That’s the second-straight draft where the rapids selected a national champion (sydney wathuta, vermont, in last year’s draft). no. 70 overall: koven johnson, m, high point johnson started 17 of 20 games in his sophomore campaign and logged one goal, helping his team win the big south before losing to georgetown in the round of 16 in the ncaa tournament. no. 86 overall: jabari de coteau, d, xavier de coteau, a sophomore from brooklyn, new york, appeared in 17 matches this season and logged a goal against wright state. pios’ mcgowan drafted by revolution: university of denver junior forward kyle mcgowan caught eyes as the only pioneer to attend the draft combine last week. Thursday, he was selected 68th overall by the new england revolution. Mcgowan caught fire with seven goals in the pioneers’ final seven games of the 2025 campaign. He became the seventh player in du history to surpass double digit goals in a single season (11 total). want more sports news?

What to Watch: Stephenville vs Kilgore in 4A DI UIL State Championship

Posted on Friday, December 19 @ 00:01:28 PST (7 reads)

What to watch: stephenville vs kilgore in 4a di uil state championship andrew mcculloch the stephenville yellow jackets will have an opportunity to add their name to the history books when they take the field for the class 4a division i texas high school football state championship game this week in arlington. stephenville (15-0) will look to wrap up a perfect season in their first state title game appearance since 2021, where the jackets will face the kilgore bulldogs (14-1) in the 4a di uil football state championship game at 11 a.M. On friday, dec. 19, at at&t stadium. here’s an in-depth look at what to watch and everything you need to know about the yellow jackets’ matchup against the bulldogs in the 4a di football state championship game: what’s at stake for stephenville the jackets will have a lot to play for friday morning, including a perfect 16-0 season and their seventh state championship in school history. additionally, though, a victory over kilgore in the 4a di state title game would mean something far greater for stephenville in the big picture. with a win in friday’s state championship game, the yellow jackets would move into a tie for first place with abilene high and brownwood for the most uil football state titles for a big country high school in history. furthermore, it would firmly cement the yellow jackets as the big country’s most dominant 11-man football dynasty of the modern era – with seven state championships since 1993. within the context of the yellow jackets’ own storied history, though, a win friday would help catapult the jackets’ 2025 squad into the discussion of the greatest stephenville football teams of all time. a victory would make the 2025 yellow jackets the fifth team in stephenville football history to finish a season 16-0 and the first jackets squad to finish undefeated since 2021. the yellow jackets are also 6-0 all time in uil football state championship game appearances. most elite defenses in 4a di collide texas high school football fans would be hard pressed to find a pair of more elite defenses than kilgore and stephenville in class 4a. both the bulldogs and yellow jackets have held their opponents to 10 points or less in 10 of their 15 games this year. kilgore boasts three shutouts during a dominant run to the state championship game, which included landslide victories over east texas powers stafford (42-0), bridge city (34-0) and la vernia (49-0). the bulldogs are only allowing 8.5 points per game defensively this season. Kilgore has all the hallmarks of one of the lone star state’s most well-rounded defensive units, but the bulldogs might meet their match against the yellow jackets. stephenville’s defense brought back 10 of 11 starters from a robust unit that led the yellow jackets to the regional finals. the jackets’ defense is only surrendering 9.5 points per contest and has routinely pitched second-half shutouts against some of its toughest opponents, like canyon west plains in the regional finals. from a stacked secondary and a loaded defensive line to a strong linebacker corps, stephenville’s defense has no cracks on any level. senior linebacker hudson butchee, who anchors the yellow jackets’ defense in the middle, has racked up a team-high 145 tackles, 15 tackles for loss and seven sacks this season. up front, army commit and senior defensive tackle kolton dearth headlines an elite group of pass rushers that possess an unparalleled combination of size, speed and strength in the trenches. in the back end, stephenville’s secondary boasts one of the state’s stingiest pass defenses after tallying 14 interceptions and 34 pass break-ups through 15 games this season. jackets’ big guys causing big problems if stephenville can beat kilgore to bring home its seventh state title in school history, then the biggest reason why will be the yellow jackets’ potent combination of size, strength, athleticism and experience along both the offensive and defensive lines. a common theme for the jackets’ opponents in 2025 has been struggling to match stephenville’s physicality in the trenches, particularly when close games stretch deeper and deeper into the second half. in signature victories over abilene wylie, ruston (la) and west plains, the yellow jackets dictated tempo and ran away with all the momentum once the second half kicked off. despite facing a 21-7 deficit with two minutes left in the first half against west plains, stephenville pitched a second-half shutout defensively and then rattled off 34 unanswered points offensively – mainly because the jackets seized total control of the line of scrimmage. on the defensive side, stephenville’s front seven has led the charge in recording 43 sacks and 153 tackles for loss. The yellow jackets ability to swarm the pocket, pressure opposing quarterbacks and eliminate inside running lanes has made it extraordinarily difficult for most opponents to sustain drives against them. the jackets’ single greatest advantage, though, is their offensive line. all five of stephenville’s starters along the offensive line are seniors and juniors who all are listed as measuring between 280 and 315 pounds, giving the yellow jackets’ a college-football-sized o-line at the 4a high school level. few of stephenville’s opponents have been able to match its size up front, but even fewer have been able to keep pace with their speed, conditioning and sheer strength. stephenville’s relentless rushing attack the main beneficiary of the yellow jackets’ outstanding offensive line play this year has been the jackets’ relentless rushing attack, spearheaded by junior running back zyler mcclendon and junior quarterback trot jordan. both in their first full season as starters, jordan and mcclendon have been nothing short of sensational for stephenville. mcclendon – the yellow jackets’ bellcow back – has topped the 100-yard rushing mark in seven of 15 games so far this year. his power running between the tackles and athleticism when stretching the field on outside runs makes mcclendon a genuine threat to score from anywhere on the field when he touches the ball. he has racked up 1,617 yards and 28 touchdowns on the ground while averaging 8.2 yards per carry so far this season. in the postseason, mcclendon has tallied 437 rushing yards and nine touchdown runs despite several blowout victories with limited touches along the way. jordan, meanwhile, has shown himself to be a capable dual-threat quarterback in his first year leading the yellow jackets offense. he’s thrown for 3,163 yards, 44 touchdowns and four interceptions on 189 of 284 passing, but hes made his important contributions recently with his feet. jordan has tallied 474 rushing yards and five touchdowns when scrambling this season, but that doesn’t tell the full story. The junior signal caller has greatly expanded his presence in stephenville’s running game throughout the postseason. he set new career highs in rushing yardage in each of the last three rounds of the playoffs, beginning with 55 yards on the ground against canyon randall. then jordan reeled off two critical long touchdown runs and finished with 87 rushing yards on 10 carries to help fuel the jackets’ comeback win over west plains in the regional finals. finally last week against celina in the uil state semifinals, jordan topped the century mark for the first time by running for 103 yards on 16 carries to help secure a 24-21 nail-biter of a win for the yellow jackets.

Texas Longhorns Add Key Coach After Wake Forest Success

Posted on Friday, December 19 @ 00:01:28 PST (8 reads)

Courtney drummond joins texas soccer staff after historic run at wake forest austin, texas - the texas longhorns just added a major piece to their coaching staff puzzle. Head coach margueritte bates officially announced the hiring of courtney drummond as an assistant coach on thursday, bringing in a rising star with a proven track record of player development, tactical savvy, and success at the highest levels of the college game. drummond arrives in austin fresh off a remarkable four-year run at wake forest, where she helped elevate the demon deacons to national prominence. Under her watch, wake forest closed out the 2023 regular season with a program-best two losses, then followed it up by reaching the college cup for just the second time in school history. The deacs didnâ€™t stop there-they punched their ticket to their first-ever national championship game in 2024. for bates, the opportunity to bring drummond on board has been a long time coming. i had hoped for years for an opportunity to work on a staff with courtney, bates said. She brings a tactical acuity to the field that is savvy and honed by international experience. her passion is individual player development and her commitment to that area is unmatched. Her impact on our student-athletes, staff and program will be immediate and exceedingly positive. i cant wait to get started with courtney! drummondâ€™s resume backs that up in a big way. During her time at wake forest, the program brought in three nationally ranked recruiting classes, with the last two cracking the top 25. That kind of consistency in talent acquisition speaks volumes about her ability to both identify and develop elite-level players. on the field, the results followed. Wake forest players earned 13 all-acc honors under drummondâ€™s guidance, highlighted by 2025 acc freshman of the year kylie maxwell-who also landed the no. 1 spot in topdrawersoccerâ€™s midseason freshmen rankings. Thatâ€™s not just a nod to talent, but a testament to coaching that maximizes potential from day one. drummond also mentored three players who earned all-american honors from united soccer coaches, including 2024 mac hermann trophy semifinalist caiya hanks. That kind of development pipeline doesnâ€™t happen by accident-itâ€™s built on a foundation of tactical understanding, individualized coaching, and a sharp eye for detail. perhaps most telling: wake forest sent 10 players to the professional ranks during drummondâ€™s tenure, with athletes landing in the nwsl, northern super league, usl super league, and overseas. Thatâ€™s the kind of track record that resonates with recruits and sets a clear standard for whatâ€™s possible in the program. drummond, for her part, is embracing the opportunity with texas-and the chance to work alongside bates. im incredibly grateful for the opportunity to join the university of texas, drummond said. The power and rich tradition of texas athletics are truly inspiring, and im thrilled to embrace all that comes with being part of such a renowned program. working alongside margueritte to build on her vision for texas soccer is especially exciting. She leads and coaches with intention, consistently pushing her student-athletes and staff to be their best. a true mastermind of the game, margueritte creates a highly competitive environment, while empowering her players the freedom to display creativity and preparing them for the professional level. Her demand for excellence is inspiring, and it is an honor and privilege to be a part of texas soccer. drummondâ€™s coaching experience also extends to the international stage. Sheâ€™s worked within the u.S. youth national team system, serving as an assistant coach across multiple age groups, including the u-15, u-16, u-17, and u-23 levels. That kind of exposure to the game at its highest developmental tiers only strengthens her ability to prepare players for the next level. before her rise at wake forest, drummond spent over a decade with city sc carlsbad, helping shape one of southern californiaâ€™s premier youth programs. She also logged time as an assistant coach at cal state san marcos, where her impact was immediate and sustained. during her tenure, the cougars produced 28 all-conference players and six all-americans, winning three conference titles and making four naia tournament appearances. She was also instrumental in guiding the program through its transition to ncaa division ii before leaving in 2016 to become the girls development academy director at la galaxy san diego. and drummondâ€™s roots as a player? Just as impressive. a standout at cal state san marcos, she started 72 of 73 career matches, scored a freshman-record seven goals in the programâ€™s inaugural season, and helped lead the cougars to back-to-back conference championships in 2008 and 2009. She also played in two naia national championships. now, she brings that full-circle experience-player, coach, developer, tactician-to a texas program thatâ€™s clearly aiming high. With drummond joining forces with bates, the longhorns are adding not just a coach, but a proven architect of success. and if her track record is any indication, texas soccer just got a whole lot tougher to beat.

Tennessee Stars Visit Kids With Gifts in Heartwarming Holiday Mission

Posted on Friday, December 19 @ 00:01:28 PST (9 reads)

In a season often defined by bowl prep and final practices, two tennessee seniors decided to make a different kind of impact-off the field, and straight from the heart. defensive backs jalen mcmurray and william wright took time this holiday season to give back to the knoxville community thatâ€™s supported them every step of the way on rocky top. The duo organized a holiday toy drive, collecting donations and gifts for the boys & girls club of the tennessee valley and east tennessee childrenâ€™s hospital. and they didnâ€™t just drop off a few boxes and call it a day. On thursday afternoon, mcmurray and wright personally delivered the toys, bringing smiles, laughter, and a little early christmas magic to kids who could use a boost this time of year. â€œi had people i looked up to growing up,â€? Mcmurray said. â€œAnd possibly being that person for somebody else-it makes my day, makes my year, honestly. Being able to give back and inspire, thatâ€™s what this is all about.â€? thatâ€™s the kind of perspective you love to hear from college athletes. These are two guys who understand the platform theyâ€™ve earned-not just for what theyâ€™ve done between the lines, but for the example they can set beyond them. wright echoed that sentiment. â€œWe get so much support from the knoxville community while weâ€™re playing football. as seniors, we wanted a way to give back to the kids. Weâ€™ve been volunteering at the childrenâ€™s hospital and the boys & girls club, and we just wanted to spread some joy during the holidays.â€? itâ€™s a full-circle moment. The same community thatâ€™s cheered them on every saturday-through the ups, the downs, the pick-sixes and goal-line stands-is now seeing those same players give back in a way that goes far beyond football. and make no mistake, mcmurray and wright still have one more game to play. Theyâ€™ll suit up one final time for the big orange when tennessee takes on illinois in the music city bowl on dec. - but no matter what happens on the field in nashville, theyâ€™ve already made a lasting impact where it matters most. this wasnâ€™t about stats or accolades. It was about presence. about showing up, giving back, and reminding everyone-especially the kids-that being a vol is about more than just football. Itâ€™s about community, leadership, and heart. thatâ€™s legacy work. And mcmurray and wright are walking out of neyland with theirs firmly intact.

Posted on Friday, December 19 @ 00:01:28 PST (9 reads)

Getting your trinity audioplayer ready...A recent sunset is reflected in the westlake pond as waterfowl make their way across the pond. According to kidsinnaturesc.Com, “the neighborhood we know now as westlake was the site of an indigenous uypi awaswas ohlone village called chalamu, and was one of three villages in the santa cruz area.” In the 1950s, bogard construction founder victor bogard sr. Bought the property and named it westlake. He later donated the land to the city to use as a park. Bogard, who built twin lakes church, high street community church, long marine lab, projects at cabrillo college and uc santa cruz as well as hundreds of homes in carbonera and the upper westside, died in 2002.
