With one last stop, Bullis is too much and makes it three straight IAC titles
After tumbling to the court while fighting for a rebound on the final play of the Interstate Athletic Conference championship game, the Marquette-bound conference player of the year remained seated as Bullis students stormed from the bleachers to meet the Bulldogs at midcourt. When Stevens got to his feet, he avoided the scrum as he walked to the scorers' table to join a developing handshake line.

NRL world erupts over 'terrible' incident as Ezra Mam boos backfire badly on Dogs
Broncos star Ezra Mam defied the boos to deliver a masterclass second half comeback against Canterbury on Friday night. But NRL fans were left seething over a controversial second half incident that went missed, and should have seen Canterbury fullback Connor Tracey sin-binned in the 22-18 loss at Accor Stadium. Brisbane were missing four of their best players on State of Origin duty and Selwyn Cobbo had a shocker at fullback in place of Maroons' 18th man Reece Walsh after gifting the Dogs two of their tries. But after looking dead and buried after trailing 18-0 at halftime - courtesy of tries to Bulldogs trio Marcelo Montoya, Matt Burton and Viliame Kikau - Mam engineered an epic turnaround that helped Brisbane seal their fourth-straight win. Mam was booed every time he touched the ball, as Bulldogs fans let the Brisbane No.6 know exactly what they thought about his drug-driving controversy from last year. But after a poor first half in which the Dogs ran rampant, the controversial Broncos playmaker stood up in the second 40, laying on three tries to help Brisbane snatch a miraculous four-point win. The result kept the Broncos within two wins of the top four and the injury-hit Warriors, and marked their second victory over Canterbury this year. Michael Maguire's men scored four tries in the final 20 minutes to complete the epic turnaround, and Mam was at the heart of just about everything as Brisbane kept the Dogs scoreless in the second half as Mam had the last laugh on his detractors. Booing backfiring on the Bulldogs, Ezra Mam killing the Dogs #NRLBulldogsBroncos — Paul Kneeshaw (@Stick_Beetle) July 4, 2025 Ezra was unreal that last 20mins. What an effort from him and the rest of the team #NRLBulldogsBroncos — BH (@BHolloway4) July 4, 2025 Hey Doggies fans. Some advice. Don't Boo Ezra Ma'am. He carved the dogs up. — MickintheGong🍞 (@MickinGong) July 4, 2025 The boos stopped once the Broncos hit the lead off the back of 3 Ezra try assists. Funny that🤣 — Michael McLucas (@Jebadude) July 4, 2025 Canterbury were also missing several players on Origin duty, with coach Cameron Ciraldo making a late call to shift Matt Burton to centre and start with Lachie Galvin at No.6. But the move raised more questions about how Canterbury's star recruit fits into the Bulldogs' halves combination, with Galvin and Dogs No.7 Toby Sexton both guilty of pushing too many passes and searching for points.

Mam then lay on a beautiful cut-out ball to put centre Delouise Hoeter between two defenders to reduce the deficit to eight points, before interchange Billy Walters scurried over from dummy half to score in his 100th game for the club. With Brisbane two points down in the final 10 minutes and smelling blood in the water, controversy erupted when Kotoni Staggs was blatantly taken out by Tracey after kicking for himself down the right touchline. Referee Todd Smith, the linesman and the Bunker all failed to award the Broncos a penalty, leaving viewers furious on social media, but Brisbane got the ball back after Galvin batted the ball into touch. Fortunately, the officiating howler did not end up costing Brisbane victory as Mam produced another moment of magic off the ensuing set to wrap up an incredible win. The Broncos five-eighth juggled the ball before a sweetly timed sort ball for Brendan Piakura sent the Brisbane second-rower crashing over for the match-winner and silencing the home fans. "The way Reyno (Reynolds) and Ezra are coming together, they are starting to grow together a bit," Brisbane coach Maguire said after the game. "Ezra took the game on. I saw Reyno talk to him at halftime about what they needed to do, and he went out there and did it."

Georgia football lands 4-star WR over 3 SEC rivals
The post Georgia football lands 4-star WR over 3 SEC rivals appeared first on ClutchPoints. Two months ahead of the 2025 college football season, Georgia landed its next major class of 2026 recruit. Kirby Smart continued the never-ending recruiting process by adding four-star receiver Craig Dandridge to the Bulldogs' evolving offense. Advertisement Dandridge committed to Georgia over offers from Tennessee, Oklahoma, Florida, Georgia Tech and Stanford, On3 Sports' Hayes Fawcett reported. The athletic wideout is rated as the 38th-best wide receiver prospect of the class by 247 Sports. Upon landing in Athens, Dandridge will be a part of Georgia's new offensive era. The Bulldogs' current top wideouts — Zachariah Branch, Dillon Bell, Noah Thomas and Colbie Thomas — are all expected to leave after the 2025 season. Georgia's current group of young receivers includes four-star freshmen CJ Wiley, Talyn Taylor and Landon Roldan. Three-star prospects Tyler Williams and Thomas Blackshear are also competing for snaps. Craig Dandridge joins Georgia football's class of 2026 Joshua L. Jones / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images Dandridge is only the latest recruit to join Georgia's 2026 college football recruiting class. The Bulldogs' incoming class is currently a top-three group in the country, led by five-star quarterback Jared Curtis. Advertisement Coming off a disappointing 2024 season, Smart has been active in recruiting during the 2025 offseason. Georgia has not let off the gas, seemingly obtaining a new high-profile recruit every few days. While the hype for the 2026 season is already high, Georgia will have to get through a challenging 2025 season. After losing quarterback Carson Beck in the transfer portal, the Bulldogs have a massive question to answer under center. They are currently slated to have former backup Gunner Stockton take over, despite how poorly he played in Beck's stead in the 2024 postseason. In addition to Beck, Georgia also lost defensive stars Mykel Williams, Jalon Walker and Malaki Starks, who were all taken in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft. Offensive linemen Dylan Fairchild and Tate Ratledge also departed, along with running back Trevor Etienne. The draft departures added to the Bulldogs' transfer portal losses, setting up substantial changes on both sides of the ball.

Point spread set for Georgia football's season opener
The Georgia Bulldogs open their 2025 college football season against the Marshall Thundering Herd at home. Georgia is heavy favorites against Marshall and figures to be massive home favorites again in Week 2 against the Austin Peay Governors. Georgia football's 2025 schedule is easy to start the season, which should help projected starting quarterback Gunner Stockton get settled into the UGA offense. However, in Week 3 Georgia will face a serious road test as the Bulldogs travel to play the Tennessee Volunteers in what is expected to be Stockton's first ever road start. Coach Kirby Smart and Georgia will harp on not overlooking Marshall. The Thundering Herd won the Sun Belt championship last season and went 10-3. Marshall recently shocked Notre Dame on the road in a stunning 2022 upset, we know the Thundering Herd are capable of beating major college football powers. The season opener also represents a new era of Marshall football under first year head coach Tony Gibson, who was previously the defensive coordinator at NC State. Georgia vs Marshall game odds: All college football odds via BetMGM Georgia vs Marshall way-too-early prediction, pick: Georgia has not even started fall camp, so it is way-too-early to feel confident about a prediction. Initially we didn't have Georgia covering the significant 38.5-point spread, but after looking future into the two teams, we envision Georgia absolutely crushing Marshall. The Bulldogs have impressed in season openers recently and face a Marshall team that had 50 outgoing transfers and brought in 55 transfers (no Football Bowl Subdivision team had more incoming transfers, per 247Sports). Marshall had just the No. 84 incoming transfer class in the country and will be very transfer-dependent. Marshall's 2025 offseason makes Georgia's tumultuous offseason seem less crazy. Prediction: Georgia 48, Marshall 6 Georgia vs Marshall channel, start time: TV: ESPN Kickoff time: 3:30 p.m. ET Get more betting analysis and predictions at Sportsbook Wire.
