Nothing could ve prepared him for the news he would receive during his shift. I actually got a text that morning from a college coach saying, Dwayne, congratulations! I saw you on (TV), Johnson said. It caught me off guard because I wasn t even aware of it. I just asked him, Where did you see it? And then I ended up getting a video sent to me by my mother.

The cranberry pudding everyone remembers was more akin to a cake than a custard. It was topped with an incredibly sweet, buttery sauce that was balanced by the mouth-puckering cranberries strewn throughout the moist crumb of the pudding.

The winter holiday season is a time to get together with family, reconnect with old friends, share stories, eat delicious food, and generally celebrate life.
This year, however, will be a little different. Weâre still reconnecting and sharing (and eating), weâre just physically a little further apart. Regardless of how socially distant we are, the Christmas spirit always brings us closer together. My friend Steve recently told me a story that shines a little light on that spirit.
It was the seventh rejection that proved to be the most important.
In the closing seconds of yet another tight matchup with Penn, Crown Point s 6-foot-4 forward swatted a running right-handed shot by Kingsmen guard Grace Schutt to seal the Bulldogs 44-42 home victory Dec. 5.
The Purdue commit fell to the floor as the final buzzer sounded, while the rest of her teammates jumped for joy. I was actually on the ground when everybody else was celebrating, but they all lifted me up. They re great teammates, Stoddard said. The entire game they just funneled everybody into me, which helped me get blocks.
Hammond coach Larry Moore Jr. knows Harold Woods wishes he had another chance.
The Wildcats senior guard missed a short jump shot against Lawrence North that would ve capped off an upset victory over the Wildcats, who are ranked as the No. 1 team in the state by the Indiana Basketball Coaches Association.
Instead, No. 20 Hammond left the Sneakers for Santa Shootout at Brownsburg on Dec. 5 with a 52-51 loss. Woods finished the game with two points on 1-of-8 shooting from the field. He was definitely bothered by it, Moore said. His head was down, but I told him to keep his head up. . The other guys (Darrell) Reed and Reggie (Abram) supported him through that moment, and that (senior) core is who is going to lead us all year.
