Baseball Top 10: St. John's spends entire season on top
After three months that featured no shortage of high-intensity battles, drama and trophy lifts, The Washington Post's high school baseball rankings finish just as they began: with St. John's on top. The Cadets continued their reign as the area's most dominant program in recent years by putting together a near-perfect 2025 campaign, one that featured just a single loss — none to D.C.-area teams — and culminated with a ninth Washington Catholic Athletic Conference title in 10 seasons. Their dominance earned them country-wide acclaim, landing them in the top 10 of a handful of national rankings, and they never budged from the No. 1 spot in The Post's rankings. St. John's will finish there, having gone wire-to-wire as the top squad in the region.

Reverend Canon Harald Thomas, who died on May 16 at his home in Pontnewydd, Cwmbran, after a long illness, had supported a number of Torfaen Borough Council's civic leaders in the role. Council leader Anthony Hunt said: 'Harald was a great friend to many of us and well known for his work through things like the Cadets.' The former British Airways manager was ordained at the Holy Trinity Church in Pontnewydd in 1997 following years of involvement with the church community and recognised with an MBE in the 2007 new year's honours list aged 73. Pontnewydd born and raised he married wife Dorothy at the church in 1963 after a five month whirlwind romance and was a father of two and a grandfather and great-grandfather. He had been a regular compere at community events and summer festivals and served as a chairman of both Cwmbran's Congress Theatre, which he had fought to save from closure, and the Pontypool Jazz Festival while he'd also been involved in local community councils.

‘Our next police officers' Pigeon Forge Police Department launches first-ever junior police academy
PIGEON FORGE, Tenn. (WATE) — The Pigeon Forge Police Department wrapped up its first-ever junior police academy for children between 12 and 16 years old. The class serves as a way to get the children involved with law enforcement early. The group of 24 learned everything from de-escalation tactics to how to properly put on handcuffs. East Tennessee food pantries brace for potential SNAP cuts amidst rising food costs 'What we're doing right here is we are looking at these young men and women in our community, and it's a recruitment tool,' Detective Donnie Mashburn said. 'We are getting them prepped, getting them started, and an honest look at what we do every day, so we are excited about that, and hopefully, maybe they'll be some of our next police officers.' The Junior Cadets went through training exercises that simulated what police officers have to do often. Some of that included hand-to-hand combat, which in this case served as a lesson in self-defense, clearing rooms, and taking a written test that went over everything they learned this week. Mashburn was right in the middle of a lot of the training that went on. He said it was great seeing the children be able to have fun while learning. Remainder of Bonnaroo cancelled due to weather 'Just teaching them so many things. They love the defensive tactics, and that's near and dear to my heart,' Mashburn said. 'In talking to them, it's not about fighting, it's about taking care of yourself and defending yourself, but if you have to, you know how to defend yourself properly. That's been a special topic for me.' Mashburn said he put his body on the line for one of the taser learning sessions today, hoping the children, seeing what happened instill a respect for law enforcement and show them not to run from the law. 'That tazing does not feel good,' Mashburn explained. 'They saw that, so they know not to run from the law, do what we tell you, it was neat to see that.' Honoring Charlie: Knoxville community tees off to remember young golfer's selfless spirit The week-long academy ended with an obstacle course and awards for those involved. Mashburn told 6 News he's grateful they were able to put on an event like this and thankful for the help of Sevier County Cares and the Sevier County Department of Alcohol and Drug Programs for helping with the academy. We are told the police department hopes to put on more of these academies in the future. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
