Stoneham knocks off second-seeded Abington on the road

ABINGTON – On a frigid November night, No. 15 Stoneham rallied after three first-half fumbles to pull off a 22-14 upset over No. 2 Abington in the first round of the MIAA Division 6 football tournament.Early in the season, this would have seemed unlikely at the very least. The Spartans started out 0-4 and had to win the final four contests of the season just to reach the tournament. Head coach Bob Almeida said that the improvement the team has shown since the early struggles is night and day.“The things that we weren’t able to do earlier in the year we are able to do now,” Almeida said.Stoneham stormed down the field via the rushing attack and put a quick six points on the board. The Green Wave struggled on the next drive and punted back to the Spartans but forced a fumble just plays later.Abington would have more success this time, pushing down the field before a 29-yard connection from Michael Reilly and A.J. Nash would even the score. Stoneham would fumble the ball again early on...Ravens nearing full strength with return of Odell Beckham Jr., Gus Edwards and others to practice

The Ravens waived cornerback Kevon Seymour on Thursday, which in and of itself wasn’t a major transaction — the 29-year-old had played just 13 defensive snaps, though he was a stalwart on special teams. The decision was telling, however, about the state of Baltimore’s once-depleted secondary.Eight games in, the Ravens (6-2) are near the healthiest they’ve been all year after suffering a glut of injuries during the preseason and through the first few weeks of the regular season.They took another step forward with the return of four players to practice Thursday, as wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. (shoulder), running back Gus Edwards (toe), left tackle Ronnie Stanley (shoulder) and outside linebacker Odafe Oweh (ankle/knee) were all full participants in Owings Mills after none of the four practiced Wednesday.Running back Keaton Mitchell (hamstring) and safety Daryl Worley (shoulder) were also full participants for a second straight day, while safety Marcus Willi...Family seeks answers after two teens shot dead at Halloween house party

SAN DIEGO (AP) — A California jury has awarded $332 million to a man who sued chemical giant Monsanto Co. contending that his cancer was related to decades of using its Roundup weedkiller.A San Diego Superior Court jury awarded damages Tuesday in a lawsuit filed by Mike Dennis, 57, of Carlsbad. He was diagnosed in 2020 with a rare form of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.His lawsuit contended that his illness was related to Roundup’s active ingredient, glyphosate.Dennis had treatment and has been in remission for nearly three years but there is no cure, Adam Peavy, one of his attorneys, told KNSD-TV.“His doctors have told him it’s going to come back and we’re just waiting to see if that happens,” Peavy said.The jury found that Monsanto, which is now a division of pharmaceutical and biotechnology giant Bayer, failed to provide warnings of Roundup’s risks. But jurors also ruled partially in Bayer’s favor by finding the product design wasn’t defective and the compan...St. Lawrence Seaway workers ratify three-year collective agreement

CHICAGO — When you think of dynasties and the United Center, the Chicago Bulls championships of the 1990s and the Blackhawks Stanley Cup wins in the 2010s likely come to mind. But there are other dynasties that have played a pivotal role in creating the Madhouse on Madison and will once again be front and center when the stadium hosts the Democratic National Convention in August.“This is a big deal,” said typically understated Bulls president and chief operating officer Michael Reinsdorf as he sat alongside Blackhawks chairman and CEO Danny Wirtz. “The United Center becomes the epicenter with all the eyes watching around the world,” Wirtz said. “Chicago has a real good opportunity to step-up and show what we’re all about.”The two come from famous families in the world of Chicago sports. Their fathers - who were close friends - formed the partnership that paid for, built and still operates the United Center.
