Genes give Portie her athletic prowess, but work to compete is all her
Sam Houston junior two-sport star Aubrey Portie is the American Press Female Athlete of the Year. (Rodrick Anderson / American Press) A s a daughter of Division I athletes, athleticism courses through Aubrey Portie's blood. There was added pressure for her to succeed that others didn't have. Still, she channeled their knowledge to hone her abilities to excel as a multi-sport athlete, become a state champion and this year's American Press Female Athlete of the Year. 'It's a tough area to be in sometimes because, if I'm not succeeding well, then they know like what I'm doing wrong or what I need to fix,' Portie said. 'It's just tough because they are so hard on me because they know how good I can be, but I really appreciate them. 'I'm glad that they know what they're talking about to help me grow and be better at the sport that I play.' The Sam Houston junior shortstop helped lead the Broncos to their first state championship since 2015. As a powerful 5-foot-10 outside hitter, Portie and the Broncos reached the volleyball semifinals for the first time since 2009. 'It was pretty awesome to do that in both,' Portie said. 'That was definitely a different experience for volleyball because we made it to state my sophomore year, but it was not really anything the same as this past year. 'It was just a great learning experience, and it was just something that I was really looking forward to and that we worked for all season.' Portie's mother, Sarah (Everingham) Portie, was a four-time all-Southland Conference softball infielder (1994, '95, '97, '98) and coached the Barbe High softball program for two decades. Her father, Jarrod Portie, was an all-district baseball and football player at Jennings High School and went on to pitch for McNeese State from 1998 to 2001. He helped lead Jennings to the Class 3A baseball semifinals in 1996 and 1997. 'My dad is my hitting coach,' Portie said. 'I do hit a lot on my own, but there are days that I ask them to hit with me. '(Mom) helps with my hitting, too. She has obviously played it a while and coached it, so she knows the little things. Her being the one who travels with me to all my tournaments, she gives me some pointers and helps me out through it all.' With a brother, Riggins, a year younger than her, Portie said she always had someone to compete against. When she was younger, she played on the same youth baseball team as her brother, and eventually moved to softball. In her second season as a starter on the high school level, Portie was part of one of the most feared lineups in the state. The Broncos combined for 57 home runs and scored 357 runs on their way to the Non-select Division I state championship and a 30-2 record. Portie accounted for 14 of those home runs while batting .519 with eight doubles, two triples, 48 RBIs, 55 runs and 12 stolen bases. She had a .628 on-base percentage with four strikeouts in 81 at-bats. She earned all-district first team, Class 5A all-state honorable mention and American Press All-Southwest Big School honors. 'I had a year underneath my belt,' Portie said. 'I knew what I was going into, so it wasn't anything really new to me.' In junior high, she added three sports, including volleyball. 'I just grew up in the world of softball because of my parents,' Portie said. 'My dad played baseball, so I just grew up around that sport. But volleyball was just a random thing. 'One day, going into middle school, I was like, 'I think I want to try out for volleyball.' I didn't even know how many people were on the court at a time or any of the rules, but I made the team and started playing volleyball since then.' On the volleyball court, Portie earned co-district MVP honors and played in the Louisiana Volleyball Coaches Association Top 100 Player Showcase for a second consecutive season. She was ninth in the state with 466 kills in addition to 80 blocks 68 aces, 505 digs and 59 assists for the 39-7 Broncos. 'I did a lot of extra work,' Portie said. 'I did a lot of jump training with Barry Painter, and I feel like that has helped me grow as an athlete. 'My freshman year, I was not 5-10. I was definitely more like 5-5, 5-8, so just growing a couple of extra inches and learning your body. I would just say that I was more aware and just an overall better athlete.'

The Jake Paul Vs. Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. Fight Card: The Odds And How To Bet It
ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA - JUNE 26: Jake Paul and Julio Cesar Chavez Jr from Mexico face off prior to ... More their fight at Honda Center on June 26, 2025 in Anaheim, California. (Photo by Cris Esqueda/) Though it's unclear whether the Jake Paul vs. Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. fight will be competitive (or if it's mostly a farce), the rest of the fight card on Saturday night has legit action that has meaningful consequences for the combatants. Here's everything you need to know about the Jake Paul vs. Julio Cesar Chavez fight card, including the odds of the fights, their records and a prediction on who will win. U.S. viewers can watch the fight card on DAZN for $59.99 beginning at 8 p.m. ET on Saturday. Jake Paul (11-1, 7 KOs) vs. Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. (54-6-1, 34 KOs) Say this for Paul. This time, he's at least fighting a former world champion who's not over the age of 50, the first time he's ever done that. You'll recall, of course, that Paul is coming of a unanimous decision victory vs. a 58-year-old Mike Tyson last November. Though Chavez won a middleweight title in 2011, he's coming off a stretch where he's lost three of his last six fights. Paul is the -650 betting favorite (bet $650 to win $100). Meanwhile, Chavez is the +425 underdog (win $425 on a $100 wager). I don't see much of a path for Chavez to win (he probably doesn't have the power to really hurt Paul, especially since Chavez is moving up so high in weight, and at this point of his life, he can't or won't outbox Paul), but I could see Paul stopping Chavez (or Chavez quitting on the stool). You can get Paul by stoppage at +137, and there's value there. Gilberto 'Zurdo' Ramirez (47-1, 30 KOs) vs. Yuniel Dorticos (27-2, 25 KOs) Making the first defense of his cruiserweight title after beating Chris Billiam-Smith by decision in November, Ramirez now will take on one of the more powerful punchers in the 200-pound weight division's recent history. And while Dorticos, a former cruiserweight world titlist, is past his prime, he still has his power, scoring knockouts in his last four victories. It's been four years since Ramirez lost his only fight to Dmitry Bivol for the light heavyweight title, but so far, his descent to cruiserweight has been a success. Dorticos will try to change that. LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA - OCTOBER 02: Gilberto Zurdo Ramirez looks on at The Mayan on October 02, ... More 2024 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Cris Esqueda/) As a -1400 favorite (bet $1,400 to win $100), there's absolutely no reason to put any money on Ramirez's money line. Dorticos is the +750 underdog (win $750 on a $100 bet), and it wouldn't be unreasonable to wager on that line. But there's almost certainly more value on Dorticos to win by stoppage at +1200, even though that's not likely to happen. As for zeroing in on a way to make money on a Ramirez victory, it'll be tough. He's -105 to win by stoppage and +105 to win by decision. Floyd Schofield (18-0, 12 KOs) vs. Tevin Farmer (33-8-1, 8 KOs) This is a classic crossroads fight as the young prospect/contender in Schofield takes on the veteran former champion in Farmer to see if the youngster is good enough to fight (and possibly) win a title. Schofield has some solid victories, and his team thought enough of him to make a fight vs. Shakur Stevenson that was supposed to occur in February. But Schofield had to pull out of the fight only a few days before with a mysterious illness. Now, Farmer, a former junior lightweight titlist who is coming off two very competitive fights vs. William Zepeda as a lightweight, wants to see how good Schofield could be. Schofield is the -190 favorite (bet $190 to win $100), but I like Farmer, who's the +155 underdog (win $155 on a $100 wager), to pull off the upset. He's been so close to beating higher-profile fighters in the last couple of years, and against Schofield, he's finally going to get his big victory. Since Farmer doesn't have much knockout power, I'd go with him to win by decision at +210. Holly Holm (33-2-3, 9 KOs) vs. Yolanda Vega (10-0, 1 KO) Despite the fact she's 43 years old and hasn't fought a professional boxing match in 12 years, Holm is back. She's a former junior welterweight and welterweight world titlist, but she also boxed in a different era. Think of it this way: Holm owns a victory vs. Christy Martin. So, um, why is she back? 'I think I'm going to be better,' she said. 'I've learned over this last decade, it's not just going back to what I did 10 years ago. It's the fighter that I've become now, and the skill set that I learned throughout the last 10 years.' For what it's worth, Vega has fought five times in the past 19 months, so at least she's been active. I have no idea what Holm has left. It probably isn't much, but I guess the real question is this: is whatever Holm still possesses enough to beat Vega? Holm is the -550 favorite (bet $550 to win $100), while Vega is the +375 underdog (win $375 on a $100 bet). I'd probably skip both money lines and just focus on the chances of this fight going the distance. Even though it's an unappetizing -900, I'd go with the fight to go all 10 rounds. Or you could just skip this bout entirely. Parlays If you were looking for a fun parlay for this card (and this is only for entertainment purposes), I might take Paul to stop Chavez at +137, Ramirez to beat Dorticos at -1400, Farmer to beat Schofield by decision at +210 and the Holm-Vega fight to go the distance at -900. If all those hit, you'd win $775 on a $100 wager.
