Most student athletes are built to give it their all each day looking for maximum results.In Hanover, the students could very well become the teachers, as the girls’ junior sports stars are putting on their own MasterClass in how to take care of business on and off the field, court, and arena.The Hawks have a stuffed roster of 15 juniors, most of them multi-sport athletes as well as captains for their squads, who own a combined 4.47 GPA.What is the phenomenon that makes these girls so special?“This group is so special due to their work ethic in all aspects of their high school experience.

It was a pretty significant injury that I had,” said Foligno. “It’s a credit to our medical staff, therapist Scott Waugh, that I’m a little further along than we were probably expecting. There’s no real timetable. It’s just a matter of me feeling as good as I need to feel. When that time comes, we’ll know when I’m ready. It’s hard, because you see me out there skating but I’m still working toward feeling as good as I can for the team when I want to come back and step in. That’s all we’re focused on.

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 23:59:04 GMT

NORTH RIM, Ariz. (AP) — The public will have to wait a little longer to visit the North Rim at Grand Canyon National Park this year.Like other parts of the West, northern Arizona received an abundance of snow over the winter, and park officials say pushing back the opening from mid-May to June 2 will give them more time to plow the main state road that leads to the rim and allow staff to reopen visitor facilities.“We appreciate the patience and cooperation of our neighbors and visitors with this delay as our partners and park staff work to open the North Rim roads, trails and facilities safely,” Superintendent Ed Keable said in a statement Friday. According to park officials, the North Rim has received more than 250 inches (6.35 meters) of accumulated snowfall since October. That marks what is believed to be the second-snowiest on record for the North Rim since 1925, although there are some years of missing data during that time period. Photos shared by the park showed impassable ar...

In a separate incident, two British-Israeli women were shot to death near a settlement in the occupied West Bank.The spasm of violence in Israel and the West Bank has heightened fears of an even more intense surge, with the rare convergence of the holy Muslim ...
