CAMDEN, N.J. (CBS) — The family of 10-year-old Micah Tennant is speaking out for the first time since the boy died after being shot at a high school football game in Pleasantville last Friday. Micah was remembered at an event designed to help children grieve on Thursday night. The event was organized by Saving Grace Ministries, which helps youth dealing with trauma.

It appears Williamson was on a beach in South Carolina and was casually tossing the pill around. He cocked back and launched the ball down the sand with ease. ZION WILLIAMSON HELPS DUKE EMPLOYEE WITH EPIC GENDER REVEAL Williamson helped lead Duke to a deep run in the NCAA Tournament before the Blue Devils narrowly lost to Michigan State in the Elite Eight. If basketball doesn’t work out for the 6-foot-7, 284-pound forward, there clearly is an option in football for him.

Week 13 games to watch:No. 8 Penn State (9-1) at No. 2 Ohio State (10-0), Saturday, Fox, 9 a.m. PSTThe only game between teams ranked in the College Football Playoff top 25 is getting all of this week’s hype, to the point that ESPN’s “College GameDay” and Fox’s “Big Noon Kickoff” preview shows will both be at Ohio Stadium. The competition between Kirk Herbstreit, Desmond Howard and Lee Corso and Urban Meyer, Reggie Bush and Matt Leinart for Saturday morning football supremacy is likely to be more entertaining than the game. Ohio State is clearly the better team and has been all season, plus it gets defensive end Chase Young, a Heisman Trophy candidate, back from suspension.

The Northern Section on Thursday rejected Paradise High School’s request to have the suspensions of four players lifted prior to Friday’s semifinal playoff game. The four were part of a group of six originally suspended in the wake of an on-field fight in the Bobcats’ 56-0 defeat of Live Oak (Sutter County) last week. Paradise agreed with the suspensions of two of the players — both of whom were directly involved in the incident — but had sought to reinstate the four who were banned for leaving the bench and going onto the field. The Bobcats (11-0) have becoming a rallying point for the Butte County community ravaged a year ago by the Camp Fire. In its appeal filed Wednesday, Paradise Unified School District Superintendent Michelle John made a direct reference to the blaze and the suffering already endured by the town and its residents. “While we understand the Paradise community has endured much adversity,” Northern Section commissioner … [Read more...] about Northern Section upholds suspension of 4 Paradise football players
