The thing I love about Uysk the most is that even if he's the smaller man size wise in the ring, he rarely takes a step back. He fights like the bigger man even when he isn't. What a fighter! #UsykDubois.

Gritty final. Thought Spain had that with the run they've been on in past two years. Portugal didn't flinch at all in that penalty shootout. Don't be surprised if these two meet up in knockout stages of next year's World Cup. Sign me up!.#UEFANationsLeague #NationsLeague.

Ashland's Dakota Kruty just misses Div. I long jump final by three quarters of an inch. Pretty tough D1 field. Just a junior, he'll look to be back next year. #OHSAA.
