Sunray football stadium takes significant damage during early morning severe storm
Sunray High School is dealing with significant damage to multiple facilities after major storms moved through the area early Sunday morning. A few weeks before the start of regular season football games, Bobcat Stadium sustained substantial damage, according to photos and videos posted on Facebook by Meteorologist Brenda Hughes. The severe weather produced winds that are estimated to have exceeded 80 miles per hour, knocking down trees, power lines and Sunray's press box, in addition to causing other damage around the Texas Panhandle community. The Bobcats' first home football game of the 2025 season is set for Sept. 19 against Childress, but the teams may have to find an alternative location to meet if Sunray's stadium is still being repaired. According to news reports, Dumas, Borger and Fritch also saw some damage as a result of the storms, but north Moore County received the brunt. After the storm rolled in around 2:30 a.m., city officials in Sunray declared a curfew until 7 a.m. on Sunday, and declared the city a disaster area. There are currently no reports of injuries or deaths resulting from the recent outbreak of severe weather. The city also lost power on Sunday, but with the help of volunteers from Dumas, Stratford, Dalhart — and other nearby communities — Sunray had its power restored by Monday morning. Sunray FFA also hosted a clean-up day, meeting organizers and volunteers at the high school on Monday to begin repair and restoration efforts. To help those impacted by the storms, Feed the Kids will be offering free lunches Monday through Thursday from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at 10th Elm Avenue in Dumas, according to a Facebook post from the organization. The Bobcats went 12-1 in 2024, losing in regional round of the playoffs to Post. Wes Boatmun's team graduated superstar quarterback Armando Lujan and a number of other key contributors, but still managed to reach the 7-on-7 state tournament this summer, and should be primed for a solid season in 2025.

Predicting Oregon Ducks' defensive depth chart at start of fall camp practices
Fall camp has officially kicked off in Eugene, with the Oregon Ducks taking the field for the first time on Wednesday afternoon to begin their Big Ten Title defense. It's a new-look roster, with many young players looking to step into bigger roles vacated by NFL departures. While there may not be a ton of "Oregon experience," there certainly is an abundance of talent. On the defensive side of the ball, a lot of new starters will take over at key positions. The interior defensive line saw players like Derrick Harmon and Jamaree Caldwell take off for the NFL, while Jordan Burch and Jeffrey Bassa departed to the league as well. Out at cornerback, a pair of new starters will need to step up, while the safeties look to capitalize on transfer portal additions and developed talent to reach new heights. There may be a lot of production that needs to be found, but this is a challenge that Dan Lanning and his team are excited to meet. As we monitor practice over the coming weeks, hurdling towards Week 1 and a meeting with Montana State on August 30, the depth chart will shift a bit, with players jockeying for position and working to earn starting roles. At the moment, though, here is where we project things on the defensive side of the ball in Eugene: Defensive Tackle Analysis: I think Bear Alexander is still the starter at this position, and despite his apparent foot injury that held him out of the spring game, I still have Aydin Breland on this list at the No. 2 spot because I think he will be healthy by the time fall camp rolls around. Nose Tackle Analysis: A'Mauri Washington seems to have established himself as the top guy in this position, and there are some impressive underclassmen behind him, with Terrance Green, Tionne Gray, and Jericho Johnson. I don't see anyone taking Washington's place at the top of the depth chart, though. Defensive End Analysis: This is Matayo Uiagalelei's spot, undoubtedly. Behind him, I think we will likely see a lot more of Elijah Rushing this year, who has put on a lot of weight and is up to 275, with coaches raving about his development. I also think that Ashton Porter could have a role to play here as well. Jack Linebacker Analysis: Teitum Tuioti will undoubtedly be the starter here, but it will be interesting to see who slots in behind him. I think Blake Purchase makes more sense at the strong-side linebacker position, but Ashton Porter looked really good in the spring game at this spot. Strong Side Linebacker Analysis: Blake Purchase had one of the best days of anyone in the spring game, and Ashton Porter looked really solid as well, I think those are the two top names to know here. After them, true freshman Nasir Wyatt has been generating a lot of buzz among players early on as well. MAC Linebacker Analysis: Boettcher is a known commodity, and he will be the starter for the Ducks. Behind him, I think we will likely see Jerry Mixon, but Oregon has several young players who could step up into a bigger role. Money Linebacker Analysis: Devon Jackson has steadily progressed each and every year in the program, and he's ready to take on a more significant role now with Jeffrey Bassa graduating. Behind him, Brayden Platt was a highly rated recruit with a ton of upside and was just waiting for his opportunity. Boundary Cornerback Analysis: It seems like Ify Obidegwu has the most buzz at one of the starting cornerback positions after his spring game performance, but he will have to beat out Northwestern transfer Theran Johnson for the job. I also think we see guys like Sione Laulea and Brandon Finney get in on the action. Field Cornerback Analysis: Jahlil Florence is back to full health, and says that he is looking to re-prove himself after missing last year with an injury. The last time he was healthy, Florence was a starter, so it's not hard to see him getting back to that level of play. I'm also excited to see what Sione Laulea can bring to the table as the former No. 1-ranked JUCO player in the nation, who has flashed when given the opportunity. Boundary Safety Analysis: Dillon Thieneman is undoubtedly at the top here, but I was really impressed with what I saw from Aaron Flowers in the spring game. I don't think he will push for the starting spot, but with a team-high eight tackles in the spring game, he definitely will get some minutes this year. Field Safety Analysis: This remains one of the most interesting position battles on the roster between Kingston Lopa and Peyton Woodyard. I think it will be an open competition going into fall camp, and they could end up splitting many of the reps in the end. STAR/Nickel Analysis: This will be an interesting battle to watch between Daylen Austin and Jadon Canady, one that will likely continue throughout fall camp. Behind them, I think true freshman Na'eem Offord could end up getting a lot of opportunity in the nickel as well.

Predicting Oregon Ducks' offensive depth chart at start of fall camp practices
Fall camp has officially kicked off in Eugene, with the Oregon Ducks taking the field for the first time on Wednesday afternoon to begin their Big Ten Title defense. It's a new-look roster, with many young players looking to step into bigger roles vacated by NFL departures. While there may not be a ton of "Oregon experience," there certainly is an abundance of talent. On the offensive side of the ball, we will see new starters at every position outside of center, which will be held once again by Iapani Laloulu. At quarterback, running back, tight end, wide receiver, left tackle, left guard, right guard, and right tackle, a new name will emerge, set to take over. That may be a daunting realization, but it's a challenge that Dan Lanning and his team are excited to meet. As we monitor practice over the coming weeks, hurdling towards Week 1 and a meeting with Montana State on August 30, the depth chart will shift a bit, with players jockeying for position and working to earn starting roles. At the moment, though, here is where we project things on the offensive side of the ball in Eugene: Quarterback Analysis: With all due respect to true freshman QB Akili Smith Jr., this is a three-man race for the QB1 position, and in my mind, Dante Moore is the heavy favorite. All three passers looked solid in the spring game, but at this point, if anyone but Moore were named the starter, it would come as a surprise. Running Back Analysis: With Jordan James off to the NFL, Oregon went out and got Makhi Hughes from Tulane, who will likely come in as the new RB1. Of course, Noah Whittington will vie for carries as well, and we could see Dink Riggs or Jayden Limar get into the rotation as well, but I think that Hughes will be the No. 1 player here. Wide Receiver (X) Analysis: With Evan Stewart's offseason injury, the X position comes a bit into flux. It appears that Kyler Kasper is in line to earn the starting job, but there will be a lot of competition, and it wouldn't be surprising to see the likes of Jeremiah McClellan or Jurrion Dickey get some run as well. Wide Receiver (Z) Analysis: Dakorien Moore may be a true freshman, but it appears that the Ducks may struggle to keep him off the field. While Moore appears to have a starting spot locked up, there will be some competition behind him with both Malik Benson and Justius Lowe getting into the rotation as well. Wide Receiver (Slot) Analysis: There are a number of players who might take over in the slot, but my early money is on Justius Lowe, who should be able to beat out Gary Bryant Jr. Also, don't be surprised to see if true freshman Cooper Perry can make a name for himself as well. Tight End Analysis: Kenyon Sadiq is undoubtedly the starter, but what will be interesting to see is how much guys like Jamari Johnson and Roger Saleapaga get into the rotation as well. Oregon could very well have three above-the-line tight ends, which could lead them to going 12- or 13-personnel more. Left Tackle Analysis: Isaiah World will definitely be the starter at the LT position, but who steps in behind him will be interesting to watch. It could be someone like Fox Crader, or Kawika Rogers may step up into the rotation. Left Guard Analysis: Much like the LT spot, Emmanuel Pregnon should be the starter at LG. Kawika Rogers is also in the mix after spending some time there in the spring game. Center Analysis: Iapani Laloulu took over as the starting center as a true sophomore in 2024, so there is no reason to believe that he won't once again be the guy in 2025. Behind him, we will likely see Charlie Pickard, who acted as the starting center when Laloulu moved around to guard in the wake of an injury early in 2024. Right Guard Analysis: Right guard is one of the spots where there is a real battle for the starting spot, whether it's Matthew Bedford or Dave Iuli. Behind them, there are several guys who can slot in, but I like Douglas Utu for the No. 3 spot. Right Tackle Analysis: It appears that Alex Harkey is going to be the guy at RT this year, though I still think Gernorris Wilson can challenge him for that starting spot.
