BOSTON (AP) — JB Frankel hit three of four free throws in the final six seconds to allow Northeastern to hold off Colgate 78-75 on Sunday. Nicolas Louis-Jacques hit three free throws for the Raiders with :07 left to get within two, 75-73, but Frankel hit the second of two to make it a three-point game and, after Jalen Cox hit a pair at the line to pull Colgate within one, 76-75, Frankel hit both free throws to seal the win. Rashad King had 23 points and added eight rebounds for the Huskies (7-3). Harold Woods scored 13 points and added six rebounds. Masai Troutman shot 2 of 7 from the field and 7 of 9 from the free-throw line to finish with 12 points. Brady Cummins led the way for the Raiders (2-8) with 15 points. Colgate also got 14 points, six rebounds, five assists and four steals from Jalen Cox. Louis-Jacques finished with 14 points. King scored 10 points in the first half and Northeastern went into the break trailing 32-28. Northeastern pulled off the victory after a 15-2 second-half run erased a three-point deficit and gave them the lead at 62-52 with 5:58 remaining in the half. King scored 13 second-half points. Northeastern takes on Old Dominion on the road on Sunday, and Colgate visits Kentucky on Wednesday. ___ The Associated Press created this story using technology provided by Data Skrive and data from Sportradar.

Albertsons’ $24.6 billion merger with Kroger blocked by judge
Logitech's Most Affordable Racing Wheels for PlayStation and Xbox Are Down to an All-Time LowPete Hegseth, President-elect Donald Trump's nominee for Secretary of Defense, is continuing to meet with Senators who will decide whether to approve his elevation to the post. There are still questions about reported sexual misconduct allegations, allegations of mismanagement of funds while leading a veterans' charitable organization, and questions about alcohol and drinking issues that he reportedly had while working at Fox News. Those questions have reportedly come up with Hegseth's meetings with senators. Hegseth met Monday with Sen. Joni Ernst, a Republican from Iowa, who is herself a military veteran and a sexual assault survivor. Sen. John Cornyn on Tuesday told reporters he has learned more about Hegseth's reported history with alcohol. "[Hegseth] admitted that coming back from deployment he and a lot of his young single service members did enjoy drinking and partying. I don't find that unusual or abnormal," Cornyn said. "He doesn't currently believe that he has a problem. He has in the past consumed alcohol, but I don't think he would be unique here on Capitol Hill or in the Pentagon for having done that." RELATED STORY | Trump doubles down on support for Hegseth amid contentious nomination process Cornyn and other Republican senators have also reiterated that the allegations of sexual misconduct against Hegseth so far come from anonymous accusers. It's still not clear if accusers would come forward before or during confirmation hearings. Hegseth is expected to meet soon with Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, another pivotal voice in the Senate who could lend crucial support to Hegseth's nominations. Republicans have a large enough majority in the next Congress to not need Democratic votes to confirm any of Trump's cabinet nominations — but that majority is still slim enough that the party can sustain only a few defections.

The secretive private school upending America's most liberal city: 'We don't talk about pronouns here' By JAMES REINL, SOCIAL AFFAIRS CORRESPONDENT, FOR DAILYMAIL.COM Published: 22:41 GMT, 8 December 2024 | Updated: 22:44 GMT, 8 December 2024 e-mail 16 View comments In ultra-progressive San Francisco, parents increasingly seek something a little more traditional for their kids. That's the message from the growing enrollments at Donum Dei Classical Academy and other religious schools in the liberal California city. These private Christian schools weave tradition, faith, and conservative values into the curriculum. Some were founded by Republican fans of president-elect Donald Trump and want Christianity to play a major role in American life. For the parents who use them — this means no 'woke' books on library shelves and no talk of gender identity in classrooms. The popularity of the schools, though a worry for some, suggests a backlash against Golden State progressivism. California this year passed a first-in-the-nation law to make it harder for parents to find out when their kids ask to use a different name or pronouns in class. Its public schools are dogged by complaints about teachers encouraging students to change gender without telling their moms or dads, in some cases directing them to sex-change clinics. Enrollments have grown by some 25 students since Donum Dei opened its doors in 2019 Donum Dei co-founder Nate Fischer (second from left) is a right-wing venture capitalist who donated to the campaigns of J.D. Vance, vice president-elect, and other Republicans Read More REVEALED: The affluent California school that connects students to a sex-change clinic Public school enrollments are falling. Yonahandi Vaca, a social worker whose child attends Donum Dei, said she chose the 66-student K-8 school 'because it aligned with our Christian belief.' 'I feel like they have a fresh approach on education,' Vaca told The San Francisco Standard . 'I had never heard of classical, and that was really attractive to me: learning things the old way, with cursive and Latin.' The $20,000-a-year school sits in the residential Bernal Heights neighborhood, where Pride flags decorate many windows. It's expanded by some 25 students since opening in 2019. Anonymous contributions jumped from $45,692 that year to $773,319 in 2023. It 'exists to be a gift of God to the families and churches who call San Francisco home,' says its website. 'We seek to impart a rich classical Christian curriculum full of Scriptural truth and life-giving experiences ... in the hands of our godly, experienced teachers and education partners,' it adds. Meanwhile, Nativity High School opened this fall with 20 students in Inner Richmond. The 25-student Saint John of San Francisco Orthodox Academy in the Richmond opened in 1994, and Stella Maris, in Inner Richmond, has doubled its enrollment to 86 students since its 2021 reboot. They're all located in plush neighborhoods beloved of San Francisco's tech executives and other millionaires, where homes change hands for between $1.3 million and $1.8 million. Many were opened in the past five years. Across the US, the number of religious schools grew by 4.8 percent over that time, says Arcadia Education, a consultancy. Marilyn Bridon, an art teacher and assistant to the head at Stella Maris, a fast-growing classical Christian school, says classes are different to some nearby public schools. Elon Musk famously pulled his Space X and X firms out of California after a state law this year helped children change sex in school without telling their parents Read More EXCLUSIVE: The trans school conspiracy exposed: Midwest teachers trade tips on 'subversively and quietly' transitioning kids without telling their parents, and skirting Republican gender laws, in workshop funded by federal government Students attend Mass on Fridays and are encouraged to get involved in their parish. There's also a 'triage' system to ensure 'woke books' don't appear on library shelves, she said. 'We certainly don't talk about pronouns in our school,' Bridon told The Standard. 'Parents don't want kids exposed to outside influences that are prevalent in our city.' The schools are variously affiliated with Orthodox and Catholic teachings. Donum Dei is not linked to any particular sect of Christianity, but requires students to have at least one parent involved with a Christian church. The schools focus on classical subjects, such as grammar, logic, and rhetoric. They avoid gender ideology, critical race theory, and diversity, equity, and inclusion. Helen Sinelnikoff-Nowak, an administrator and teacher at Saint John of San Francisco Orthodox Academy, says parents want something more traditional for their kids. 'A lot of people in our community have said it's important to them that we're not too far out there, too far to the left,' said Sinelnikoff-Nowak. 'I'm not preaching to parents, but I hear them, and that's what they're looking for.' Controversially, some of the schools don't teach evolution. This has raised questions about science teaching in the schools — and whether creationism is presented as fact. When asked about this, Donum Dei Principal Trisha Mammen reportedly said: 'God made earth and man. We did not come from slime.' The school did not answer DailyMail.com's request for comment. Administrators have also blocked a journalist from attending public information sessions about the academy. Other religious schools in San Francisco avoid creationism. Those guided by the Archdiocese of San Francisco 'teach what science can prove,' says Peter Marlow, a district spokesperson. The growing popularity of classical Christian schools comes as San Francisco edges politically to the right. The percentage of city voters who cast ballots for Trump grew from 12.8 percent in 2020 to 16.7 percent in 2024. The Nativity High School opened this fall with 20 students in Inner Richmond The 25-student Saint John of San Francisco Orthodox Academy in the Richmond opened in 1994 Meanwhile, in ballot measures, California voters opted to get tougher on drug and theft crimes and to allow forced labor in prisons. San Francisco was once America's least religious city. This year, it fell behind Seattle, according to a US Census Bureau survey. Local education consultant Vicky Keston says about one-in-ten of her clients are interested in Christian schools and want teachers to 'focus on academics over politics or social justice.' 'In my experience, there are a solid number of parents looking for a school like this,' she said. 'Some parents prefer questions about gender identity to be taught at an older age and for young children not to be actively suggested that they reconsider what their gender is.' Donum Dei was founded in 2019 by right-wing venture capitalist Nate Fischer and his wife, Meghan. They and other co-founders are linked to Calvinism and Dominionism, which promotes a society governed by biblical rules. Fischer's venture capital firm New Founding pours money into tech startups that promote right-wing values, such as gun ownership rights, vaccine skepticism and the gender binary. According to the Federal Election Commission, he donated some $14,000 to Republican candidates in recent election cycles, including J.D. Vance and Ted Cruz.

'It's really hard': Town still without grocery store after harrowing fire
Lucy Johnson of Cheverus shoots in the second half against Scarborough on Sept. 12. She is the second straight Stags player to win the Miss Maine Field Hockey award after her sister, Lily, took it last year. Derek Davis/Staff Photographer AUGUSTA – After setting the career goals record, winning 71 of 72 games and earning three state championships, there was one more accolade for Lucy Johnson to win. She took care of that Sunday afternoon. The Cheverus senior was named the 26th winner of the Miss Maine Field Hockey award, becoming the second straight Stags player and member of the Johnson family to win it after sister Lily took it last year. “I was very nervous, but it’s great, and I’m very proud of the accomplishments myself and I’m glad that my sister and I get to share this bond, for sure,” Johnson said. “It shows that I have a lot of heart and dedication to the game. ... I’ve been playing since I was five, and I just can’t imagine my life without it.” Lucy Johnson after she was awarded Miss Maine Field Hockey on Sunday at the Augusta Civic Center. Drew Bonifant/Portland Press Herald It’s the second time two sisters have won the award, with the first being Greely’s Amanda and Julia Chase in 2002 and 2004, respectively. Johnson beat out Biddeford’s Ayla Lagasse for the award, and earned an honor many likely felt was inevitable since her sophomore season when she scored 49 goals, the second most goals tallied in a season. With 34 this fall, Johnson finished with 152 goals, 41 higher than the record she broke and 14 clear of Winthrop’s Madeline Wagner in second place. “It’s good ... to have something to reach for to make you a better player. I hope some girl out there right now sees that number, 152, and smashes it, and that’s how Lucy will know she really succeeded,” Cheverus coach Andrea Musante said. “When you see someone like Lucy and what she’s done, that’ll only help grow the game.” Johnson, who will play next alongside Lily at Boston University, said that legacy point has been significant to her as she’s wrapped up her high school field hockey career. “I definitely think so,” she said. “I try to set really good examples for many people in the future, and for people coming into Cheverus. I know a few of the younger girls, they’ve told me they look up to me and it really means a lot to me. I try to set that example for them, hopefully they see it through.” While much has been said about Johnson’s speed, stick handling, ball control and lethal shot, Musante said her competitiveness stood out most, which was exemplified in her playing through frequent knee pain this season and her ability to raise her game when the Stags needed it. “She would fight, she would show up and produce the same results no matter what the situation was,” she said. “She never laid down, it doesn’t matter if she was double- or tripled-team. She always found a way.” Musante pointed to the 2023 Class A final, when Johnson was marked heavily by Skowhegan defenders but still scored the winning goal with 58 seconds left in a 2-1 victory. Lucy Johnson of Cheverus celebrates after scoring her first of two goals against Biddeford on Nov. 6. She will play for Boston University next year. Derek Davis/Staff Photographer “It was like, ‘She showed up. She did it again,’ ” Musante said. “When she hits the field and the whistle blows, she has an incredible fire and passion.” It all culminated in the award Sunday, which Johnson said is more meaningful considering it follows Lily’s victory a year ago. In her acceptance speech, Johnson addressed her sister who was away at school, saying “no one has chemistry like us.” “It’s definitely very special,” she said. “I always think of her every day, I miss playing with her and I’m really excited to play with her next year so we can share this bond.” We invite you to add your comments.

MILAN, Italy (AP) — Atalanta went to the top of Serie A when Ademola Lookman scored with three minutes remaining to beat AC Milan 2-1 on Friday. Atalanta’s ninth win in a row was a fitting gift to coach Gian Piero Gasperini, who was awarded the coach of the month award earlier in the day for guiding his team to a perfect record in November. Charles De Ketelaere put the home side ahead with a towering header after 11 minutes only for Milan to level 11 minutes later. Theo Hernández released Rafael Leão on the right wing and his inviting cross was converted by Álvaro Morata. Milan, which lost Christian Pulišić to a knock before halftime, looked set to end Atalanta’s impressive run but Lookman nipped in at the back post to nod home a corner in the dying moments. Atalanta has 34 points, two more than Napoli, which has a game in hand against Lazio on Sunday. Milan was in seventh place. Serie A champion Inter defeated Parma 3-1 and extended the Milan club’s unbeaten run to 13 games. Federico Dimarco put the home side ahead five minutes before halftime when he worked a neat one-two with Henrikh Mkhitaryan and fired a low shot past Zion Suzuki. Nicolò Barella made it two eight minutes into the second half when he finished a fast counterattack with aplomb. Marcos Thuram's 10th goal of the season made it 3-0 in the 66th. A Matteo Darmian own goal gave some late consolation for Parma. AP soccer:
