Maggie Warpus wins Winter Season MVP
Maggie Warpus is a junior for the Chenango Forks Blue Devils wearing number 5. Across these past few years, she has stuck out with her talents on the court, and she caught the eye of many in winning MVP. She's a 1,000-point scorer that happened this past season, and she helped the team improve on their run at states from last season when they fell in regionals, this time making it all the way to the final four.
'Our whole community is very involved in our sports teams, especially now that our basketball team is so successful,' said Warpus.
She still has a year left to go on varsity, and so does most of the team, as they only graduate one in Lauren Paske. With the team being as young as they are, and the support that comes from the community each time they compete, whether it be regular season or playoffs, win or loss, it allowed the team to grow together, with Warpus leading the charge as they continue to push forward even further toward a state championship.
'I'm hoping to commit before next season so then that would be a weight lifted off my shoulders and it'll also make me confident going into the high school season.'
A big congratulations to Maggie on getting the people's recognition and being voted Winter Season MVP after an incredible run. 1,000 points and a run to final four is no easy task, and we can expect more from her and the team as we move forward into next season.

Bills' Josh Allen Sends Clear Message on What Drives Him This Season
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The Buffalo Bills and superstar quarterback Josh Allen are headed into the 2025 NFL season with only one goal in mind. Nothing but a Super Bowl would make the upcoming campaign count as a success. Last season, the Bills were just one win away from the big game. Unfortunately, they lost to Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC Championship Game. In recent years, Buffalo has looked the part of a Super Bowl favorite on multiple occasions. The team simply has not been able to get over the hump. Josh Allen #17 of the Buffalo Bills warms up before the game against the Indianapolis Colts at Lucas Oil Stadium on November 10, 2024 in Indianapolis, Indiana.

Photo byWith training camp in full swing, Allen is clearly hungry for a championship. He wants to bring one home for the Bills Mafia. Read more: Falcons QB Kirk Cousins Linked to 3 Potential Trade Destinations During an interview with Tom Pelissero in training camp, Allen spoke out about what is driving him this season. "That's the only thing on my mind in camp, is just like, what can we do to bring a Lombardi trophy home?" Allen said. Allen put together the best season of his career last year. He won the NFL MVP, but that didn't mean much to him. Without a championship, the MVP was simply another award, although he was happy to win it. Throughout the course of the year, Allen played in 16 games. He completed 63.6 percent of his pass attempts for 3,731 yards, 28 touchdowns, and just six interceptions, while also racking up 531 yards and 12 more touchdowns on the ground. At 29 years old, Allen seems to have a new sense of urgency. He knows that a championship window can close at any time.

They gave him a massive six-year, $330 million contract. Now, it's time for him to take his game up to another level and bring home a championship. Of course, that is easier said than done and will take a complete team effort. Allen and the rest of the Buffalo roster are highly motivated to get the job done this year. It will be interesting to see what the Bills are able to do this season. Allen's comments are a clear message to both his own team and the rest of the NFL that. Buffalo will be a team to be reckoned with. For more on the Buffalo Bills and general NFL news, head over to Newsweek Sports.

Liberty's Breanna Stewart avoids significant injury on right leg, AP source says
NEW YORK (AP) — New York Liberty star Breanna Stewart avoided a significant injury when she hurt her right leg in a game Saturday night, a person familiar with the situation told The Associated Press. The All-Star forward had imaging done and nothing major turned up, according to the person who spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity Sunday because no official statement had been made. She will travel with the team on its four-game road trip that begins in Dallas on Monday night, the person said. Stewart left the game nearly 3 1/2 minutes into the Liberty's 101-99 loss to the Los Angeles Sparks. She had three points and a rebound. Stewart seemed to injure the leg while running up the court. She went to the locker room and never returned to the bench. 'No update, hopefully she'll be OK,' coach Sandy Brondello said the Liberty's five-game winning streak was snapped. New York was playing the second half of a back-to-back. Stewart had a quiet scoring game in Friday's win over Phoenix, with just six points. She did have eight rebounds, five assists, two blocks and two steals. Stewart came into Saturday's game averaging 19 points, 6.8 rebounds and 4.0 assists on the season to help New York (17-7) to the second-best record in the league. The two-time WNBA MVP hadn't missed a game yet this season. After playing much of July at home, New York will be on the road for five of its next six games. New York also had two other injuries; Kennedy Burke had some cramps and Leonie Fiebich has been dealing with a hand injury she suffered against Phoenix. 'She's tough and resilient, she pushed through it,' Brondello said.
