Muncy’s Ella Nagel ties sister as school’s all-time assists leader – sungazette.com

SUNBURY — Ella Nagel can read the soccer field perfectly. She knows exactly where her teammates are going to be whether it’s Ava Eyer on a breakaway or Kiki Woodward down along the sideline.
It’s no surprise that Nagle leads Muncy’s team with assists this year. As she entered Tuesday’s PIAA Class A playoff game against York Catholic at Shikellamy, Nagel was sitting at 25 assists, more than double the amount of Muncy’s next highest assist leader.
And on Tuesday, she dished out quite a few more, but these ones are just a little more important to her.
Nagel had an assist on all three of Muncy’s goals and, while it was important to help the Indians secure the program’s first-ever state playoff victory, it was also a nice personal milestone for Nagel.
The three assists pushed Nagel to 28 for the season and 65 for her career as the senior tied former Muncy standout — and her sister — Emilie Nagel.
“I’ve been hearing about it in practice like ‘guys, I need to get this,’” Nagel’s teammate Kiki Woodward said after Tuesday’s 3-0 win against York Catholic.
The last few games, Ella has been receiving texts from Emilie asking her when she was going to tie her record. Now, Ella can call her big sister and let her know she finally did so.
“She’s been texting me every game like ‘Ella, when are you going to do it?’” Nagel said with a laugh. “So I’m going to call her after this.”
Opposing defenders and midfielders know that Nagel can dish out assists easily, so she’s often found herself defended well. But even so, she seems to be able to get passes where they need to be as Ava Eyer or Woodward are able to find the back of the net off Nagel’s passes.
“It is a big milestone and I’m really happy to hit it here with this team,” Nagel said. “I couldn’t be more happy.”
Ella got to play alongside Emilie for two years at Muncy. Emilie graduated in 2023 as she became Muncy’s fifth 50-goal scorer and set the assist record that season. She tied Aleaha Bigelow that fall with 76 career goals for the all-time mark.
For Ella to tie her sister in the state playoffs is a bittersweet moment for her and one she’s proud to have done her senior season. It was something she wanted to do entering this fall, knowing she was within striking distance.
“It’s definitely one of her goals coming into the season. As we got into the playoffs, assists were a secondary to winning. So, whether it was going to happen or not at that point we weren’t sure because you get into this time of the year and the games are going to be 10-0 anymore, right?” Muncy coach Jason Gresh said. “So it’s about if she has to make the pass or have the shot or get the hockey assist by setting the play up, she’s making the correct decisions.”
Ella sits at 65 career assists and 37 career goals as the Indians prepare for another game on Saturday in the PIAA Class A quarterfinals.
“It definitely speaks volumes of what she’s meant to this program and worked her butt off,” Gresh said. “I think there’s a little bittersweetness to tying her sister’s record, but it certainly was a goal and Emilie was her biggest fan and wanted her to do it.”
It’s some sisterly love, and now both Nagels have etched their place in school history as two of the best to ever wear an Indians jersey.
While Nick Becker bested all local bowlers last week with 816 series in the Faxon Sport League, Danielle Barlet …

Elias Diaz: Club option declined – CBS Sports

If not listed, please contact your TV provider.
The Padres declined Diaz‘s (oblique) $7 million club option for 2026 on Tuesday, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
Diaz posted a .607 OPS across 283 regular-season plate appearances in 2025 — his worst mark since 2019. Rather than pay him $7 million to likely act as a backup in 2026, the Friars will instead give the 34-year-old a $2 million buyout and send him into free agency. His defense should still be enough for him to draw interest from other clubs, but he doesn’t offer much fantasy upside at this stage in his career.

Signature push aims to ban trans athletes from girls sports in Maine ballot initiative – WGME

CBS13 has the latest election results.
by WGME Staff
PORTLAND, Maine (WGME) — You may have seen people collecting signatures at the polls on Tuesday. Right now, there's a push to ban trans athletes, specifically from girls sports, and get that on the ballot next year.
We found groups collecting signatures in Portland and South Portland Tuesday.
Their proposed referendum would ban trans athletes from sports teams and locker rooms that don't align with a student's gender at birth.
That would contradict the current Maine Human Rights Act, which bans discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity.
If the petition gets the 68,000 or so valid signatures needed to make the ballot, and voters pass it, schools would be required to designate male and female teams based on student birth certificates, although legal challenges, based on the Maine Human Rights Act, would almost certainly follow.

Accent Group’s Sports Direct rollout begins – ragtrader.com.au

This comes months after Accent Group – the Australian fashion and footwear conglomerate that manages 30 brands, including the likes of Hoka, Platypus and Hype DC – secured a deal with Frasers Group in the United Kingdom to manage its sporting retail business in Australia and New Zealand.
To mark Sports Direct’s first-ever Australian store opening, Accent Group has secured Collingwood’s Nick Daicos to star at launch on Saturday, November 15. 
The second store opening will be at the newly renovated Chatswood Chase in Sydney, with that opening in March 2026. This forms part of an ambitious plan to open 30 Sports Direct stores over the next three years, across major cities. 
“Australia’s passion for sport is unmatched, and that made it the perfect next step for Sports Direct,” Accent Group CEO Daniel Agostinelli said. “With Accent’s retail expertise and Sports Direct’s global capabilities, we’re creating a new kind of one-stop sports destination, combining global brands with unbeatable range.” 
The new store opening will stock major sporting brands such as Nike and Adidas, alongside exclusive brands like USA Pro, Karrimor and Sondico. Sports Direct also sells into Australia via a dedicated website. 
“We know sport is part of Australia’s DNA – from grassroots clubs to global stages – and we’re here to celebrate that,” Agostinelli said. “Whether you’re a weekend player or a professional athlete, Sports Direct goal is to help everyone to feel like a champion in their chosen sport – no matter the sport, no matter the ability, no matter the style.” 
When the deal was initially struck in April this year, Accent Group and Frasers Group confirmed there will be 50 store openings over the next six years, which could reach 100 in the long-term.
Founded in the UK in 1982 and part of Frasers Group, Sports Direct operates more than 700 stores globally across Europe and Asia.
According to a report by CBRE, in collaboration with IBISWorld, Australia’s fitness and athletic clothing stores market was valued at $4.2 billion in 2024.

Knowing answers lie on defense, skidding Wizards take on Celtics – CBS Sports

If not listed, please contact your TV provider.
The Washington Wizards will be striving to end a five-game losing streak when they visit the Boston Celtics on Wednesday night.
Inconsistency at the defensive end of the court has been a major issue for Washington, which has allowed at least 119 points in six of its seven games. The Wizards enter Wednesday’s matchup allowing an average of 127.0 points per game. Brooklyn (127.6) is the only NBA team allowing more through Monday’s games.
“It’s all about defense,” Washington guard Bilal Coulibaly said. “Playing defense is going to get us more wins, so that’s what we gotta do. … We all have to be on the same page and focus.”
The Wizards held the Knicks to 22 points in the first quarter and 21 points in the fourth quarter during New York’s 119-102 home victory Monday, but Washington surrendered a total of 76 points in the middle two quarters.
“Just get better,” Washington coach Brian Keefe said. “That’s what you can control. That’s the great thing about our group. They’re always focused on what we can learn and then take that information and bring it into the next game, and I think we’re seeing that. We’re growing in certain ways. That’s all you can do.”
The Celtics have plenty of things to fix as well. Boston is 1-3 at home this season and will be desperate to avoid a third straight home loss Wednesday. Boston blew a 14-point first-half lead and dropped a 105-103 decision to Utah at home Monday. The Jazz scored 38 points in the third quarter after being held to 36 points in the first half.
“Our first half was great, and I think the third quarter, they got the best of us, and they played harder than us,” Boston coach Joe Mazzulla said. “It was a combination of just transition, offensive rebounds, and then some of their dribble-drive stuff, not being able to defend without fouling. So you have to be able to put a full game together. The first half was good. Third quarter cost us, and when it’s a close game like that, it’s anybody’s game.”
Boston shot 11-for-51 on 3-point attempts (21.6%) in the loss. The Celtics are shooting 31.2% from 3-point territory this season. Only Indiana has a worse 3-point field-goal percentage (30.2).
“It’s a new team, so we’re figuring it out,” Boston guard Payton Pritchard said. “We’re learning. We’ve got a lot of things we’ve got to keep getting better at and we’re willing to work. So we’re going to get better at it and we’ll grow. And by the end of the season, I can promise we’re going to be a better team than when we started. So that’s a promise.”
Forward Kyshawn George is Washington’s leading scorer (17.9 ppg). Center Alex Sarr leads the team in rebounds (8.4), assists (4.1) and blocked shots (2.1) to go with 17.3 ppg.
Jaylen Brown (26.8 ppg) leads Boston in scoring, but guards Derrick White (26.3%) and Pritchard (21.3%) have both struggled from behind the 3-point arc.
“Just gotta figure out a way to play for 48 minutes,” White said. “It’s simple. I mean, it’s not simple, but that’s what we have to do.”

NFL trade deadline live updates: Latest rumors, news, updates on deals – USA Today

The NFL trade deadline is here, presenting teams with one last window to transform their roster for the stretch run of the season.
The lead-up to the 4 p.m. ET cutoff for swaps has featured a handful of more minor deals, with several notable starters and depth pieces being sent to new destinations. But there’s yet to be a true blockbuster. Might that change at some point on Tuesday, Nov. 4? There aren’t many big-name players firmly on the trade block, but Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has already piqued interest by revealing Monday that he’s agreed to a deal on which he’s yet to disclose the details.
USA TODAY Sports will have live updates on the latest news, rumors and completed deals all the way past the deadline, so check back often Tuesday for all the freshest developments:
The New York Jets are selling off top players in stunning fashion.
Not long after the team agreed to trade two-time All-Pro cornerback Sauce Gardner to the Indianapolis Colts, news broke that the Jets were also dealing defensive tackle Quinnen Williams to the Dallas Cowboys for a 2027 first-round pick, 2026 second-round pick and defensive tackle Mazi Smith, according to multiple reports.
Williams, 27, is a three-time Pro Bowl selection who had become the lynchpin of the Jets’ defensive line.
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones revealed in September that he had asked about acquiring Williams in a potential deal for Micah Parsons but was rebuffed. Now, Jones lands a player who can fulfill the longstanding need to fortify the interior line.
Dallas earlier in the day agreed to acquire linebacker Logan Wilson from the Cincinnati Bengals in exchange for a seventh-round pick.
New York, meanwhile, now looks poised to dominate the NFL draft in the coming years with three additional first-round picks.
The Chicago Bears are bolstering their edge rush in light of an injury.
The Bears on Tuesday agreed to acquire defensive end Joe Tryon-Shoyinka and a seventh-round pick from the Cleveland Browns in exchange for a sixth-round pick, according to multiple reports.
Tryon-Shoyinka, 26, is a former first-round pick who recorded 15 sacks in four years with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. In Cleveland, however, he has participated in just 6% of the team’s defensive snaps.
The Bears were looking for additional help along the defensive front after losing Dayo Odeyingbo for the season to a torn Achilles suffered in Sunday’s win over the Cincinnati Bengals.
“We’ve got some depth,” Bears coach Ben Johnson said Monday. “You can never have too many pass rushers. You can never have too many cover players on the back end either. That’s how I have always felt since I’ve been in this league. I know (general manager) Ryan (Poles) and his crew have been doing their due diligence all throughout the fall, all the way up until tomorrow to make sure we’re turning over every stone to make sure if there’s a way that we can improve this roster, we’ll do that.
The Seattle Seahawks aren’t done equipping Sam Darnold with downfield weapons.
The Seahawks on Tuesday agreed to acquire wide receiver Rashid Shaheed from the New Orleans Saints, according to multiple reports.
Shaheed, 27, is in the final year of his contract. The speedy receiver averaged 17.5 yards per catch last season but is down to 11.3 this year under first-year coach Kellen Moore.
His ability to stretch defenses could prove noteworthy for Sam Darnold, who leads the NFL in air yards per attempt at 9.6, according to Next Gen Stats.
The NFL trade deadline finally has its blockbuster deal.
The New York Jets are trading cornerback Sauce Gardner to the Indianapolis Colts in exchange for two first-round picks, according to multiple reports.
Gardner seemed to confirm the reports on Twitter.
Amid questions of what key pieces the 1-7 could part with as the franchise’s reset continued under first-year coach Aaron Glenn and general manager Darren Mougey, Gardner’s name seldom came up. The two-time All-Pro signed a four-year, $120.4 million extension that made him the NFL’s highest-paid cornerback.
Nevertheless, he’s now on the move.
Gardner moves from the bottom of the AFC to the top in joining the 7-2 Colts, who had a glaring need at cornerback with Charvarius Ward on injured reserve. In a year filled with bold moves, general manager Chris Ballard once again made an uncharacteristically bold strike in acquiring Gardner.
The Las Vegas Raiders granted Jakobi Meyers his trade request after all.
The Raiders are sending the wide receiver to the Jacksonville Jaguars in exchange for fourth- and sixth-round draft picks, the Jaguars announced.
Meyers, who turns 29 on Sunday, sought a split from Las Vegas ahead of the season, when he asked for a trade in the summer while entering the final year of his contract. The Raiders denied his request, however, and he leads the team with 33 catches on the season.
At 2-6, however, the Raiders’ hopes of contending in the AFC West are dashed, and the team recoups some draft capital. Brock Bowers reaffirmed his standing as the focal point of the Raiders’ passing attack with 12 catches against the Jaguars in his return to action Sunday, but Las Vegas also is bringing along rookie receivers Dont’e Thornton Jr. and Jack Bech.
The Jaguars, meanwhile, receive midseason reinforcements for a passing attack that has been decidedly uneven in Liam Coen’s first season as coach. Rookie two-way threat Travis Hunter landed on injured reserve last week, while Brian Thomas Jr. is dealing with a high-ankle sprain, per multiple reports.
Jerry Jones might not be done dealing at the NFL trade deadline.
After completing a trade with the Cincinnati Bengals for linebacker Logan Wilson on Tuesday, Jones indicated on 105.3 The Fan that other moves were in process.
“Obviously with a (4 p.m. ET) deadline, they’re in the works, and they better be in the works or you’re going to miss this train,” Jones said.
Jones also said he envisioned Wilson, who is under contract through 2027, as a multi-year solution for the Cowboys’ defense.
“He knows how to get in the gaps,” Jones said. “For what we need right now, he can come in immediately right now and help us.”
Tuesday’s swap between the Cincinnati Bengals and Dallas Cowboys enacted change for the league’s two worst defenses in points allowed.
But did either unit really shift its outlook?
Neither the Cowboys nor the Bengals ended up with a high mark in our trade grades. Read here for the full explanation.
Jerry Jones has his mystery deal in place after all.
Just hours after casting some degree of doubt on the move he said earlier Monday was already complete, the Dallas Cowboys owner agreed to a deal with the Cincinnati Bengals to acquire linebacker Logan Wilson, according to multiple reports.
Wilson, 29, gets his trade request fulfilled after he was benched for rookie Barrett Carter. The sixth-year veteran has played in just 67% of Cincinnati’s defensive snaps this season, his lowest amount since his rookie campaign.
Jones also checks off another box in landing a player who will be under team control for multiple years, with Dallas now having the linebacker signed through 2027.
Leave it to Jerry Jones to figure out a way to seize the spotlight leading up to the NFL trade deadline.
The Dallas Cowboys owner commanded plenty of attention with his initial suggestion Monday that he had agreed to a deal that would not be revealed until Tuesday.
“A lot of action going on right now in terms of trading,” Jones said on “The Stephen A. Smith Show” on SiriusXM Radio. “We certainly have made a trade, and we may make a couple more trades before that deadline. We’ve made one. We possibly could make two more, and I’m going to wait and let you read about that when we send the papers in tomorrow.”
After Dallas suffered a 27-17 loss to the Arizona Cardinals on Monday night to drop the team to 3-5-1 at midseason, Jones seemed to strike a different tone, though he insisted his feelings hadn’t changed.
“We could conceivably see something that we ought to do, in spite of tonight,” Jones told reporters following the game. “And the answer to your question: There is no trade right now. … But there is one I can do. Without question, there is one I can do, and I’m leaning toward doing it.”
Only a few hours left to sort it all out.
Ravens receive: OLB Dre’Mont Jones
Titans receive: 2026 fifth-round pick
Eagles receive: OLB Jaelan Phillips
Dolphins receive: 2026 third-round pick
Eagles receive: CB Jaire Alexander, 2027 seventh-round pick
Ravens receive: 2026 sixth-round pick
Eagles receive: CB Michael Carter II, 2027 seventh-round pick
Jets receive: WR John Metchie III, 2027 sixth-round pick
Steelers receive: S Kyle Dugger, 2026 seventh-round pick
Patriots receive: 2026 sixth-round pick
49ers receive: DE Keion White, 2026 seventh-round pick
Patriots receive: 2026 sixth-round pick
Rams receive: CB Roger McCreary, 2026 sixth-round pick
Titans receive: 2026 fifth-round pick
Jaguars receive: CB Tyson Campbell, 2026 sixth-round pick
Browns receive: CB Greg Newsome II, 2026 seventh-round pick
Chargers receive: OLB Odafe Oweh, 2027 seventh-round pick
Ravens receive: S Alohi Gilman, 2026 fifth-round pick
Bengals receive: QB Joe Flacco, 2026 sixth-round pick
Browns receive: 2026 fifth-round pick
Browns receive: OT Cam Robinson, 2027 seventh-round pick
Texans receive: 2027 sixth-round pick
Jets receive: CB Jarvis Brownlee Jr., 2026 seventh-round pick
Titans receive: 2026 sixth-round pick
The 2025 NFL trade deadline is at 4 p.m. ET on Tuesday, Nov. 4.
The cutoff comes just after the midseason point, with team owners having voted last year to push back the deadline by one week. After Tuesday, teams will not be able to make official trades until the start of the new league year in March, though they can unofficially agree to deals with one another after the completion of their season.

Cavaliers' Darius Garland: Could return Wednesday – CBS Sports

If not listed, please contact your TV provider.
Garland (toe) could make his season debut Wednesday against the 76ers, ESPN’s Shams Charania reports.
Garland, who underwent offseason surgery to repair his big toe, is expected to be upgraded on the official injury report. Whether that’s a questionable or a probable tag remains to be seen, but this is a huge boost for the Cavaliers. Once Garland does get the green light to return, it’s likely that he would have some type of restrictions early on.
