Nikki McCray-Penson 
Nikki McCray-Penson, who helped lead the famed 1996 Olympic team that started the United States' current run of seven consecutive gold medals, has died at the age of 51, it was announced Friday.

McCray-Penson starred for the Lady Vols in the 1990s in her native state of Tennessee before playing in the ABL and WNBA and later becoming a college basketball head coach.

She served as an assistant women's basketball coach last season for Rutgers, which confirmed her death. The cause of death has not been announced. McCray-Penson and her husband, Thomas Penson, have a son, Thomas Jr., who turned 10 in February.

McCray-Penson was diagnosed with breast cancer in November 2013, during her tenure with South Carolina, where she was an assistant to her close friend and Olympic teammate Dawn Staley. She was part of Staley's staff as the Gamecocks won the 2017 NCAA championship. Soon after, she took her first head-coaching job, with Old Dominion.

"Thank you my little sister, my friend, my foxhole partner, my teammate, my fast food snacker, my basketball junkie, my fellow Olympian, my gold medalist and now my angel," Staley posted to Twitter along with a statement. "... Suffer no more Nik Nik."

In all, including last season at Rutgers, McCray-Penson had 16 years of college coaching experience, serving as head coach at Mississippi State and ODU. After consecutive 20-win seasons, she left the Monarchs to take over the Bulldogs, who went 10-9 during the COVID-19-impacted 2020-2021 season. In October 2021, before the start of what would have been her second season at MSU, she stepped down to focus on her health.

"Heart hurts like crazy over this one," two-time WNBA MVP and Las Vegas Aces standout A'ja Wilson, star of South Carolina's 2017 title team, wrote on Twitter. "Such a fighter and a warrior with the sweetest gentle soul! Coach McCray you've helped me in many, many ways and you were a true gift from God! Truly will be missed! No more suffering, no more pain! God got a good one."

She returned to coaching this past season, becoming an assistant to Coquese Washington at Rutgers.

"Nikki had a big smile and an even bigger heart," Washington said in a statement provided by Rutgers. "She was full of life, energy, and was so much fun to be around. Nikki touched the lives of many because she made it her mission to uplift others and help them achieve whatever dreams and goals they expressed. She was so devoted to her husband and son, and still gave all of herself to everyone in the program. We will miss her dearly but will keep Nikki's memory alive in our hearts."

A native of Collierville, Tennessee, McCray-Penson helped the Lady Vols win three SEC regular-season championships and two SEC tournament titles. They also made a women's Final Four appearance in 1995, when Tennessee fell in the championship game to Connecticut.

"Our hearts are broken as we mourn the loss of a beloved Lady Vol," Tennessee coach Kellie Harper said in a statement. "We also offer our love and sincere condolences to her family, friends and colleagues across the country. Nikki had a bright and loving personality and touched the lives of everyone she met. Her kind and genuine spirit will be missed."

After college, McCray-Penson was named to the U.S. national team, which trained and toured together from fall 1995 until the 1996 Summer Games in Atlanta. That U.S. team's popularity and success was seen as the springboard to the launch of the WNBA in 1997, and was chronicled in the ESPN 30 for 30 special "Dream On," which was released last year.

"Our hearts are heavy as we learn of the passing of Nikki McCray-Penson," the WNBA said in a statement. "... Our thoughts and prayers are with Nikki's family and loved ones at this time."

McCray-Penson was a three-time All-Star during her nine years in the WNBA and won gold medals with Team USA in the 1996 and 2000 Summer Olympics.

McCray-Penson also led the Columbus Quest to the 1997 ABL championship, as she played in that league before moving to the WNBA. She was the ABL's MVP in 1997.

McCray-Penson was inducted into the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame in 2012.

SYLVANIA, Ala. – The Sylvania Rams relied on a strong running game and defensive pressure to advance to the AHSAA 3A semifinals with a 27-7 victory over Geraldine Friday night at Rams Stadium.

With the victory, the Rams advanced to the semifinals for the first time since 1994.

Geraldine, with momentum in its corner after upset wins over No.5 Winfield and No. 1 Mars Hill Bible, was trying to advance to the next round and avenge a 41-24 loss to Sylvania earlier in the season.

Senior running back Braiden Thomas found running room behind the Rams offensive line all night on his way to four touchdowns.

“Braiden continues to do what he’s been doing. The offensive line has done a really good job of giving him some creases, and he rushed for 300 yards. He’s done a really good job of stepping up his game,” said Sylvania head coach Tyler Vann.

“He’ll be the first one to tell you that our o-line gets a lot of the credit for that.”

In a tight first half, Geraldine received the kickoff and was forced to punt on its opening drive. Sylvania advanced the ball to the Geraldine 7-yard-line before Jaxon Colvin recovered a fumble to regain possession with :58 left in the first quarter.

Geraldine methodically moved the ball down field on its possession, but failed to convert a fourth-down pass attempt. Geraldine’s defense returned the favor and forced a Sylvania punt with 4:14 left in the half.

The Bulldogs were moving the ball on a promising drive when it lost tailback Carlos Mann for the game.

Mann took a pass from Colvin and outran the Sylvania defense for a would-be touchdown, but he stopped and fell to the sideline with the non-contact injury with 2:35 left in the half.

When the game continued, Ashdon Cooley pressured Colvin and batted away a third-down pass, but Geraldine converted the fourth down attempt to keep the drive alive.

On the next play, Colvin and running back Caleb Hall muffed the exchange and Sylvania recovered the ball at its 34-yard line with 1:15 left in the half.

The Rams moved quickly behind two Thomas 15-yard gains, and Jaxon Smith found Landon Watkins for another 15-yard pickup. Smith got near the goal line on a quarterback keeper, and Thomas powered it in out of the wildcat formation for the 7-0 score after the PAT.

“I thought our defense played really well in the first half. Once our guys got settled in against some formations we hadn’t seen much, they really struggled to block us,” Vann said.

“Aspen, Ashdon, Ky, and Kittle all played well up front, and it changed the game for us defensively.”

In the second half, Sylvania’s offense relied on its run game to score three more touchdowns.

The Rams received the kickoff and Thomas burst through the line for a 72-yard score with 10:34 left in the third quarter and the 14-0 lead after Conner Andrade’s PAT.

On Geraldine’s next possession, Sylvania forced a three-and-out. The Rams offensive line began to control the game and took just a minute off the clock before Thomas again punched it in for the 21-0 lead after the PAT with 6:09 in the third quarter.

“This is three games in a row against playoff competition that we’ve been able to rush for more than 350 yards,” Vann said. “Teams have to put people in the box, and it opens up our pass game and play actions. We didn’t really have to throw it Friday night, but we will need to be able to throw it against [Piedmont],” Vann said.

On its next possession, Caleb Hall gained tough yards out of the backfield for Geraldine and moved the ball into Sylvania territory, but the Bulldogs failed to convert a fourth-and-long pass to turn the ball over on downs with 2:31 in the third quarter.

Sophomore back Aiden Parham picked up a 20-yard gain to move onto Geraldine’s side of the field, but Smith just missed Watkins on a fourth-and-long route to turn the ball over on downs.

Geraldine gained a little momentum on its possession when Colvin hit Cody Satterfield for the 52-yard strike-and-score across the middle. The PAT was good to make the score 21-7.

Geraldine forced a Sylvania punt to regain possession with 8:33 in the fourth quarter and moved the ball through the air with a flip pass to Satterfield and a pass to Hall to get to the Sylvania 12-yard line. On a key play in the game, Jonah Gurley broke up a pass to Elijah Schlageter and Thomas pulled in the interception to end the threat with 5:12 left in the game.

“We tackled better on the back end better than we had the previous two games, and that was huge for us,” Vann said.

Two plays later, Thomas put the game away with a 78-yard scamper for the score with 4:10 left. The Rams failed to convert on the 2-point attempt to leave the final score at 27-7.

Minnesota and Buffalo GOY

Key sequence: Joshua Scott’s interception in the waning seconds of regulation forced overtime after Madison Academy had driven from its 27 to the Sylvania 24. It was only the fourth time this season Creehan had been picked off.

Stat sheet: Sylvania – The Rams had 381 yards on the ground and added 187 through the air. Parham finished with 134 yards on 19 rushes. Scott had seven receptions for 128 yards, including the game-tying touchdown catch late in the fourth quarter. Madison Academy – Creehan completed 11-of-14 passes for 156 yards with two touchdowns and an interception. Jack Doyle had a game-high 12 tackles. Ken Cherry gained 182 yards on 17 carries; Joshua Williams ran for 77 yards and three touchdowns.

By the numbers: 0, Madison Academy first downs in the third quarter. The Mustangs were held to 4 total yards in the quarter after rolling up 293 yards in the first half. … 2,583, passing yards for Creehan this season, with 25 touchdowns. … 5, years since Sylvania advanced to the state quarterfinals. The Rams fell to Randolph County in the third round in 2017.

The SEC on CBS Game of the Week takes on the ultimate shine as No. 3 Georgia hosts No. 1 Tennessee in a battle of two SEC East foes looking to stay undefeated on the season. Not only does this massive showdown carry divisional implications within the toughest conference in the country, but there are apparent College Football Playoff implications based on the first release of the rankings earlier this week. 

The Bulldogs held off rival Florida last weekend 42-20, which included a fourth-quarter surge after the Gators stormed back in the third quarter. Tight end Brock Bowers continued his stellar season, catching five passes for 154 yards and a touchdown. Meanwhile, the Volunteers dispatched Kentucky 44-6 last Saturday on Rocky Top in a game that was never in doubt. Quarterback Hendon Hooker, one of the top candidates for the Heisman Trophy, threw for 245 yards, passed for three touchdowns, and scored one on the ground. 

So what will happen on Saturday in Athens, Georgia, as these two SEC titans clash? Let's break down the game and make a pick.

The Sylvania Rams (7-2, 5-2 Class 3A-Region 6) faced off with the Westbrook Christian Warriors (4-5, 2-5 3A-Region 6) on Friday night, with a lot on the line for the Rams. 

The Rams locked in their postseason berth as the region’s No. 2 seed with a 45-22 win over the Warriors.

“Offensively, I felt like we played fairly well despite having to face adversity [with injuries] up front,” said Sylvania Head Coach Tyler Vann. “There were multiple times where our guys were moving them two or three yards.”

On third-and-goal from the 4-yard line, Smith found Brant Kittle in the back of the end zone for a Sylvania touchdown. Conner Andrade’s PAT was good for the 7-0 lead early in the second quarter.

The Rams’ defense made an adjustment and forced a three-and-out. Braiden Thomas finished the next drive from three yards out for a 14-0 lead after the PAT.

Josh Scott hauled in an 18-yard pass from Smith to move the Rams into field goal range, but the attempt was blocked to close out the half at 14-0.

The Eagles opened the second half with a promising drive, but the Rams’ defense made a red zone stand to force a turnover on downs.

Sylvania followed runs by Aiden Parham and Thomas and a completion to Landon Watkins to move down field, and Smith opened the fourth quarter with a scramble for a touchdown and the 21-0 lead.

After forcing another turnover on downs, Sylvania moved into scoring position on Smith passes to Watkins and Scott. Thomas then finished the drive with his second touchdown of the night. Andrade again made the PAT for the 28-0 lead with 3:50 left in the game.

“Defensively, we bent but didn’t break. Our guys stood tall and got a stop or forced a turnover. I was proud of their effort,” Vann said.

Smith finished 12-of-20 passing for 151 yards and a touchdown. Thomas ran 20 times for 143 yards and two scores, and Parham picked up 53 yards on 10 carries. Scott finished with 58 yards receiving, while Watkins caught four passes for 54 yards.

By Roger Scott
For Southern Torch
 smothered Glencoe 42-7 Friday night as the Rams bank another region win behind an attacking defense and a balanced offense.

The Rams racked up 470 yards of offense for its homecoming game and limited the Yellow Jackets to one touchdown in a dominating performance.

Sylvania (5-1 overall, 3-1 in 3A, Region 6) received the kick and moved the ball 60-yards before missing a field goal on its opening drive. The Rams then held Glencoe to a three-and-out on its opening drive.

After the punt, sophomore back Aiden Parham picked up 16 yards on a run off right tackle, and Josh Scott hauled in a 55-yard pass from Jaxon Smith to the Glencoe 3-yard-line. Braiden Thomas finished the drive with a touchdown at 2:42. Conner Andrade’s kick made the score 7-0 with 2:42 in the first quarter.

On its next drive, the Yellow Jackets didn’t find much running room. Sylvania’s defensive line stuffed the run, and Ashdon Cooley blocked a punt that Thomas recovered and returned to the 25-yard line. Thomas then finished the drive with a run for the score. Sylvania led 14-0 after the PAT with :44 left in the first quarter.

“Offensively we did a really good job up front moving them. Didn’t start the way we wanted to. They were doing some things we haven’t seen this year on defense with their linebackers running through. We went with some different options, and our line made good adjustments with their movement and steps,” said Sylvania Head Coach Tyler Vann.

To open the second quarter, Sylvania forced a short Glencoe punt. Parham then took a short pass from Smith and found a seam for the 62-yard touchdown. Andrade was good again to bump Sylvania’s lead to 21-0.

In the second quarter, Glencoe’s Garret Gaskin caught a first-down pass from quarterback Nolan Fairley, and Austin Mann ran for another first down. The Rams defensive clamped down along the line and stuffed two runs, and Scott broke up a fourth-down conversion attempt to force the change of possession at the Rams 31-yard line.

“We played really well on defense. We handled their rushing game, which we knew we had to do. I think they had 76 yards rushing at the half, and that’s pretty much all they do,” Vann said.

A catch by Scott, a Thomas run, and a scramble by Smith marched the Rams down the field. Thomas capped the drive untouched on a 4-yard run for the 28-0 lead.

On its next drive, Fairley picked up a first down, but on the next play faced pressure from Cooley and was intercepted by John Robert Dixon. With Griffin Turner in at quarterback, Scott picked up 12-yard and 21-yard gains through the air. The Rams couldn’t finish the drive, however, and turned the ball over on downs at the 39-yard line.

Glencoe received the second-half kickoff and had its best drive of the night. After picking up two first downs, Fairley ran the ball around right end for the 52-yard score. The PAT was good for the 28-7 score with 7:12 in the third quarter.

After the kickoff, Sylvania moved the ball quickly downfield behind a Thomas run and a 25-yard completion from Turner to Watkins. Parham punched it in from two-yards-out and Andrade’s PAT increased the lead to 35-7.

“I felt like we could have run the ball more if we wanted to, but I saw this week as an opportunity to work with our passing game. We threw the ball well; quarterbacks missed a few throws and our receivers had a couple of drops. But this was a good game to work on the things we needed to,” Vann said.

On Glencoe’s next possession, Connor Montgomery picked up 30 yards around left end to the Sylvania 30-yard line. Ky Shankles recovered a bad snap on the next play, but the Rams were forced to punt just before the end of the third quarter.

Glencoe was again forced into a short punt on its next possession. Sylvania began its drive on the Glencoe 28-yard line. Shawn Gimm gained six yards on a carry before Turner completed a short pass to Watkins, who scampered into the end zone for the score and 42-7 final score.  

“We have to continue to get better, continue to work on us. If we want to finish second in the region and host a playoff game, we have to put in the effort we need every single day to improve,” Vann said.

The Rams finished with 270 yards through the air and 200 on the ground. Thomas finished with 91 yards on the ground and three touchdowns, Parham and Watkins each had a touchdown, and Scott led the Rams with 95 yards receiving. Quarterbacks Smith and Turner combined to complete 12 of 24 passes.

Sylvania travels to Plainview on Thursday, while Glencoe (2-4 overall, 0-4 in region play) hosts Piedmont on Friday.

The Rams’ defense forced multiple turnovers and relied on their offense as Geraldine failed to capitalize on good field position in the 3A, Region 6 battle.

“On the whole, I was pleased with our effort, despite the injuries we had during the game. We had guys come in and step up, and I was proud of them,” said Sylvania Head Coach Tyler Vann

Closing words

Chad Barger, the offensive coordinator for the Pioneers the previous three seasons, has been elevated to head coach.

“I am honored to be named head football coach at East Ridge high school,” Barger said. “Coach Tim James is East Ridge football, and I am forever grateful that I had the opportunity to work for him for three years.

“We just hope to continue with the dedication and pride he had for his school and community. I am thankful for Principal Juan Moreno entrusting the football program to me without hesitation, and I just hope we create the type of program the school, community and county can be proud of.”

An announcement to address USC and UCLA's intensions is expected Thursday afternoon, sources close to the situation tell Dodd. USC and UCLA first need to inform the Pac-12 of their decisions to leave the conference before applying for membership to the Big Ten. At that point, the Big Ten can vote on whether to expand their league, a development that could occur as early as Thursday evening.

The twelve wins were the most in school history and also the first 10-0 regular seasons since Sylvania began playing football in 1947.

Since then his teams have qualified for the playoffs in every season except 2000, won eleven region championships and won at least ten games in eleven of those years.

In 2014, the Fyffe Red Devils won their first State Championship with a 28-17 victory over Elba in the title game. They finished the season with a school record 15-0 slate. They duplicated that in 2016 and 2018 2019 2020 (3A) with state  championships.
