Birmingham Classic: Venus Williams' Run Ended By Jelena Ostapenko

BUFFALO, N. Y. — Maybe the worst 12 minutes of the season will be a turning point for the Colorado Avalanche. Even if it isn’t, it did set up one of the wildest comebacks in recent franchise history. The Avs spotted the Buffalo Sabres a four-goal lead, still trailed by three after 40 minutes and then roared back for a 5-4 win Tuesday night at KeyBank Center. Nathan MacKinnon scored twice, Artturi Lehkonen added the game-winner and Scott Wedgewood made 22 saves in 48 minutes of shutout relief to help the Avs avoid what looked like an ugly start to this season-long five-game road trip. “After the first 12, it was pretty good,” MacKinnon said.

Four years ago, Zayne DeSouza was an out-of-shape, unmotivated 14-year-old whose primary obsession was video games. But after his oldest brother lit into him, DeSouza began his journey to becoming a rare in-state high school recruit by CU football head coach Deion Sanders. “He came home one day from practice just before his first game as a freshman, and he’s usually a quiet guy, but he got pretty mad because the coach wouldn’t move him from the line,” recalled Weston DeSouza, Zayne’s brother, who is 10 years his senior.

By HYUNG-JIN KIM and KIM TONG-HYUNG SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — South Korea’s main opposition party on Wednesday urged President Yoon Suk Yeol to resign immediately or face impeachment, hours after Yoon ended short-lived martial law that prompted troops to encircle parliament before lawmakers voted to lift it. Yoon didn’t make any immediate public response to the opposition’s demand.

FORT COLLINS — When putting together this year’s schedule, Cherry Creek had a problem. No other top Class 5A football program besides Regis Jesuit and Pine Creek wanted to, or could, face the Bruins in non-conference play. So Cherry Creek was forced to schedule three out-of-state bouts in Utah, Nebraska and Texas in order to ensure the Bruins had enough games. Those road trips molded Cherry Creek for its seventh straight Class 5A title appearance on Saturday, where the Bruins are a heavy favorite against Legend at Canvas Stadium. “We learned a lot about our team (from those games),” Cherry Creek head coach Dave Logan said.

Under the direction of head coach Deion Sanders, the Colorado football program has gone through a remarkable transformation in two years, mainly bolstering the roster through the transfer portal. Sanders’ recruiting of the high school ranks has been underrated nationally, though, and on Wednesday – the two-year anniversary of his introductory press conference – the Buffs are set to sign one of the best groups in the Big 12 for the class of 2025.
