These days, the “F” in LAFC ought to stand for “France.” Free agent Jeremy Ebobisse became the Los Angeles Football Club’s fifth Frenchman on Monday, as the roster takes shape early in the offseason. The deal runs through 2027, with a club option for 2028. “Jeremy is a proven forward in our league who has scored goals and been a meaningful contributor to his teams throughout his career,” LAFC co-president and general manager John Thorrington said in a statement announcing the signing. “We are incredibly excited to welcome Jeremy to strengthen our attack as we continue in our ambitions to compete for multiple trophies in 2025. We know Jeremy will be a great addition to LAFC on and off the field.” Last year at this time, LAFC had one French player on the roster, the prolific Denis Bouanga, who over the course of 2024 was joined by Hugo Lloris, Maxime Chanot and Olivier Giroud. Meanwhile, Ebobisse spent the year suiting up for last-place San Jose, starting 25 of his 31 MLS appearances while scoring six times — a drop in production with the Silicon Valley side following consecutive seasons with double-digit goals (17 in 2022 and 10 in 2023). With 60 goals and 18 assists in 198 MLS regular season appearances, the Paris-born Ebobisse has been a solid performer inside the league since Portland drafted him No. 4 overall from Duke University in the 2017 MLS SuperDraft.

The forward earned Best XI honors in 2020 when the Timbers won the MLS is Back tournament. Traded by the Timbers to the Earthquakes in the summer of 2021 for more than a million dollars in general allocation money, Ebobisse, a dual national raised in Bethesda, Md., since the age of 2, proved adept at finishing around the goal, linking play, and operating as a hardworking defender.
It's not even Christmas yet, but high school girls basketball season now has its fourth No. 1 team following Mitty's dominance at the Nike TOC. Here are the national high school girls basketball rankings from The Sporting News for the week of Dec. 23. READ: Last week's rankings (Dec. 16) Top 25 High School Girls Basketball Rankings Mitty beat the top-ranked team in the country to win the Nike TOC behind dominance from McKenna Woliczko? Seems like deja vu. One year after leaping to No. 1 following an upset of Long Island Lutheran, the Monarchs have done it again for a shocking 59-34 blowout of Ontario Christian in the finals. Wolizcko was named the MVP again after dropping 38 points and 17 rebounds against Clackamas and 25 points, 10 rebounds, and four assists against Ontario Christian. It's rare to see potential CIF Open Division state championship previews occur during the regular season, but how about this. Ontario Christian doesn't have to wait until a potential March rematch for another crack at Archbishop Mitty – they play again on Jan. 4 at the SI 20 Showcase. 3. Mater Dei (CA) (12-2 – 17th) When was the last time that California teams swept the top three of a national ranking? Not sure, but the last time Mater Dei was ranked this high on a national level was during the 2019-20 and 2019-20 seasons when it went back-to-back as CIF-SS Open Division champions. Mater Dei's only losses came to the only two higher-ranked teams, so it was clear for takeoff in the rankings after upsetting Bishop McNamara. Mater Dei was No. 17 last week, so why didn't Bishop McNamara drop more for the loss? Before getting upset, it had already beaten IMG Academy by 23 points, Central Pointe Christian Academy by 25, Bullis by eight, and Sage Hill by 26. And Bishop McNamara bounced back after losing to beat Clackamas 53-48. Now it's the conference favorite entering another brutal year of Washington Catholic play. Biding time while most other top-ranked teams have gotten their hands dirty with national competition. Westtown did handle Shining Star Sports Academy 73-64 in its one crack at a ranked foe. LuHi has only played five games, but its season-opening wins against Bishop Ireton (79-73) and St. Paul VI (78-44) are already aging particularly well as those downed foes have otherwise been untouchable. Long Island Lutheran opens the Tampa Bay Christmas Invitational as a heavy favorite against ever-dangerous Miami Country Day. Unsurprisingly, Sierra Canyon had no trouble winning the top division at the Tarkanian Classic for the second time in three years, although Couer D'Alene and Vanden managed not to get totally dismantled. Expect a similar showing – or perhaps an even more dominant one – this week at the Glendora Christmas Tournament. Still unbeaten, and for the most part unscathed. Lawrence North is the lone team to give the Bears a scare, losing 52-51 to them on Dec. 12, and that rematch is on Jan. 16. 9. Sidwell Friends (DC) (7-0 – 12 th ) Make it seven wins against seven excellent teams for the Quakers. They beat Potomac School 58-35 in their only game of the week. Narrowly avoided disaster against a quality foe in St. Frances Academy, winning 58-55 in its first test of the season. It's a nine-spot drop for Montverde Academy after a major upset to Canadian powerhouse Fort Erie International, which has lost to Bishop McNamara and Paul VI (VA). It didn't help the Eagles' stock that some of the best teams they've beaten, such as Purcell Marian, Winston-Salem Christian, and St. Thomas Aquinas, recently took stop-dropping losses. With that said, Montverde has been without arguably its top player, Agot Makeer, since November. This might not prove to be a season-altering loss. In one of the biggest upsets of the year so far, Hebron Christian fell 55-52 to Langston Hughes on Friday at the Cherokee Invitational. So why didn't Hebron Christian fall more? The Lions defeated Langston Hughes 62-55 six days prior, and Langston Hughes, now on the bubble, is otherwise unbeaten with wins against Holy Innocents' Episcopal, Hoover (AL), and Westminster Academy. 13. Bradley Central (TN) (13-0 – 13 th ) Bradley Central handily defeated McMinn County, Bartlett, and Clarksville Christian to stay unbeaten. After much ado, the Caseys are finally underway and off to a good start. They beat St. Joseph-by-the-Sea 70-44 and Virginia Academy 61-37. The Red Raiders jump back into action after Christmas at the Visitation Christmas Tournament. 16. Pewaukee (WI) (7-0 – 18th) Still nothing but wins of 15 points or more for the Pirates, which defeated West Allis Central 89-4 and Homestead 55-40. They play one of the biggest tests of the season on Friday against Whitney Young. Johnston finally was tested and won a defensive grinder 49-41 against Dowling Catholic. They meet again in conference play on Jan. 24. The tour de force continues. Princess Anne has scored at least 80 points and more than doubled its opponents score in all seven contests, including against recent victims Ocean Lakes (95-24) and First Colonial (97-9). Sitting pretty at 21-0 after a well-earned week off from games. With most of its big tests already in the past, Lincoln has a strong chance at an undefeated regular season. 20. Clackamas (OR) (3-2 – 23rd) Despite two losses, the Nike TOC wasn't a bad showing for the Cavaliers. They were close losses to national title contenders in Archbishop Mitty and Bishop McNamara, and those were sandwiched in between convincing wins against Princeton and Purcell Marian. 21. Putnam City North (OK) (11-1 – Bubble) Getting a rematch three days after a loss sounds like the perfect amount of time to reflect, rest up, and prepare for revenge. Thus was the case for the Panthers, who beat Norman 57-49 on Tuesday after losing 65-62 on Saturday. The rubber match worth a 6A District 2 title is on Feb. 4. Reeling after a 40-38 loss to PHH Prep on Friday. The Ascenders did pick up a nice win the day before, blowing out another Arizona power Bella Vista College Prep 62-24. 23. Duncanville (TX) (11-4 – Bubble) Fired up after beating rival DeSoto 74-55. Duncanville will pick right after Christmas at the Sandra Meadows Classic, which includes a high-profile matchup with Boswell. 24. Cypress Springs (TX) (17-3 Bubble) Now up to 13 wins in a row, including against Etiwanda, Summer Creek, and Audenried, since starting 4-3. It turns out Cypress Springs was missing an important piece, junior guard Tamiah Harrison, in its last loss, which came 51-48 to Frisco Memorial. Its only others were against Lincoln and Duncanville. Etiwanda resumes play after Christmas at the SoCal Holiday Prep Classic. Teams on the bubble: AZ Compass Prep (AZ) Bishop Ireton (VA) Blue Valley North (KS) Boswell (TX) Bullis (MD) Central Pointe Christian Academy (FL) Clovis West (CA) Elizabeth Seton (MD) Grandview (CO) Grind Prep (OK) Guyer Denton (TX) Flower Mound (TX) Langston Hughes (GA) Lyons (IL) Norman (OK) Oak Cliff Faith Family Academy (TX) PHH Prep (AZ) Purcell Marian (OH) River Ridge (GA) Shining Star Sports Academy (VA) South Bend Washington (IN) St. Francis (GA) St. John's (DC) St. Paul VI (VA) Tualatin (OR) Valor Christian (CO) Winston-Salem Christian National (NC)Nick Fuentes Arrested: What Did The Controversial Streamer Do?
Dimopoulos shines in double OT and Northern Illinois beats Fresno State 28-20 in Idaho Potato BowlSocial media users lambasted Alpine for its extravagant farewell to Brad Pitt in Abu Dhabi, contrasting it with the company's light-hearted treatment of Esteban Ocon's exit. Spanning five years with Alpine, Ocon secured an unforeseen Grand Prix victory in 2021 and landed on the podium three additional times. Yet after signing to race for Haas next year, Ocon was abruptly replaced by Jack Doohan for the season's final race, receiving nothing more than a terse statement from his former team. This became glaringly obvious when Alpine lavishly celebrated Pitt, currently filming his F1 movie , taking part in its last event at the paddock, accompanied by a celebratory group photo with the actor. Sydney Thomas shares Jake Paul message she received at Mike Tyson bou - Boxing - Sports - Daily Express US NASCAR CEO weighs in on Michael Jordan lawsuit with damning message for 23XI owner The 60-year-old has spent months filming the highly anticipated 'F1' sports drama, set to release next summer, portraying the character Sonny Hayes. He even featured in the Ferrari team snapshot in Yas Marina along with co-star Damson Idris and has made appearances at various other races during the filmmaking process. Alpine's preference for a significant goodbye for Pitt versus the minimal acknowledgment of Ocon provoked ire among F1 devotees. Twitter user @NotFifthGear remarked: "Alpine gave 'Sonny Hayes' a better farewell than their only race winner in F1...". While @rosbergcore pointed out: "Can say goodbye to Brad Pitt but not the driver that gave you your last win?" @laeberkas posted: "You guys suck really bad. Like you literally gave him a better farewell than Ocon." DON'T MISS Carlos Alcaraz names his future wife and how many kids they will have Dale Earnhardt Jr. had strict broadcast rule before accepting new job Tony Stewart makes career announcement after NASCAR legend became dad Meanwhile, @HoodieUce added: "Listen it's no secret I'm not Esteban's biggest fan but it's not great optics for you to give a farewell to an actor and not the guy who spent five seasons at the team." Despite the disappointment surrounding his departure, Ocon remained composed, sharing his thoughts about moving on to Haas and his upcoming test in Abu Dhabi: "The plan was always to race one last time this weekend and personally say goodbye to you all [Alpine staff] next week," he posted. "I was looking forward to both of those things. This is not how I wanted things to end. That said, the world of F1 is small and I am sure I will see many of you again soon."
When it comes to freedom of religion and the rights enshrined in the 45 words of the First Amendment, the devil is in the details in Iowa. Gov. Kim Reynolds’ administration recently revoked permission for the Satanic Temple of Iowa to place a display in the Capitol and host a holiday celebration around it. The government said the event would harm minors. A year ago, the governor took the opposite stance on the Satanic Temple’s holiday display. Although she said in 2023 that it was “absolutely objectionable,” she explained then why the display was allowed: “In a free society, the best response to objectionable speech is more speech, and I encourage all those of faith to join me in praying over the Capitol and recognizing the nativity scene that will be on display.” The reaction from Reynolds’ faithful supporters was quick back then. A state representative called the 2023 display unconstitutional. Some critics said tolerance has its limits. One conservative commentator said, “Promoting evil isn’t freedom of speech.” That was then. Now is now. The Reynolds administration moved from private prayer against last year’s display to state action this year. Yet, the First Amendment did not change in the past 12 months. But Reynolds’ views of freedom of speech and freedom of religion certainly sound different. They sound like a politician now guided by the views of her faithful, not by the meaning of the First Amendment. Adam Steen, a Reynolds appointee who heads the Department of Administrative Services, explained that he banned the Satanic Temple from erecting its display this year and holding its holiday celebration in the Capitol because “the totality of the event,” in his judgment, would “include elements that are harmful to minors.” Reynolds elaborated in a statement: “The Iowa State Capitol complex is a place that is open to the public, where children and families routinely visit. Because of this, the state’s event policy takes into consideration conduct that would be harmful to minors. This satanic event, which specifically targets children, is harmful to minors and so it was denied.” The organizers’ description of their “Satanic Holiday Joy” celebration does not come near the governor’s view of the event. In a post on Facebook, organizers wrote, “Our goal was to promote tolerance and acceptance of diverse religious beliefs, with a theme of finding light in the darkness and welcoming the darkest nights of the year with joy and camaraderie.” The statement added: “As a peaceful law-abiding organization, we will embody the spirit of wisdom and compassion in the face of injustice.” Kim Reynolds and Adam Steen lack the authority to decide what constitutes a religion or which faith groups are worthy of access to the Iowa Capitol and which are not. The First Amendment requires even-handed treatment of everyone. As organizers explained, the only difference between the traditional Christmas celebrations that occur inside the Capitol and the Satanic Temple’s event is that one is about celebrating Jesus, while one is not. Iowa is not alone in facing this controversy. A holiday display by the Minnesota Satanists was vandalized this month at the State Capitol in St. Paul. A spokesman for Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz said the governor does not agree with the display. But the official told the Minnesota Star Tribune, “The First Amendment means that he does not police speech in the State Capitol. That’s true whether it’s a religious display, a political protest, or a Minnesotan advocating for a policy.” Steen, the Iowa official who nixed the Satanic Temple event this year, apparently based his decision on organizers’ plans for costumed characters around the display to carry sticks as symbolic weapons. And Steen believed either the sticks or the images could harm children. There is certain amount of irony in the position of state officials. State government is disregarding the First Amendment and prohibiting a religious display that does not square with the religious views of the governor and Steen. In contrast, officials often point to the Second Amendment’s right to bear arms as the reason for not doing more to combat the danger of school shootings. There have been far more students killed or wounded in gun violence in Iowa public schools than in celebrations hosted by the Satanic Temple at a government building. What this boils down to is the group’s name. Were the Satanic Temple called the People’s Faith Community, it is unlikely public outcry would follow. The seven tenets of the Satanic Temple include this one that might help guide Gov. Reynolds and Director Steen: “People are fallible. If one makes a mistake, one should do one’s best to rectify it and resolve any harm that might have been caused.” Admission of error does not appear forthcoming, so the courts may need to resolve this disagreement over the meaning of the First Amendment. And resolving any harm likely will include the payment of thousands of dollars to the temple’s lawyers if they succeed in educating state officials on one of America’s foundational freedoms.

The win stretched Bayern’s lead to eight points ahead of the rest of the 11th round, and Kane took his goals tally to a league-leading 14. The England forward is the fastest player to reach 50 goals in the Bundesliga in what was his 43rd game. However, coach Vincent Kompany should be concerned by his team’s ongoing difficulty of scoring in matches it dominates. Bayern previously defeated St. Pauli and Benfica only 1-0. Kompany’s team had to wait until stoppage time before Kane sealed the result with his second penalty. Two minutes later, Kane scored with a header after controlling Leon Goretzka's cross with his first touch for a flattering scoreline. “We had to be patient,” Kane said. “And at halftime that’s what we said, to keep doing what we’re doing. We had a few chances in the first half and we just had to be a bit more clinical and obviously, thankfully, we got the penalty to kind of open the game up.” Mads Pedersen was penalized for handball following a VAR review and Kane duly broke the deadlock in the 63rd. Bayern continued as before with 80% possession, but had to wait for Keven Schlotterbeck to be penalized through VAR for a foul on Kane. Kane sealed the result in the third minute of stoppage time and there was still time for him to grab another. It’s Bayern’s seventh consecutive win without conceding a goal since it conceded four at Barcelona (4-1) on Oct. 23 in the Champions League. “You can see now that we have a solid defense and that's the basis, also in games like today's,” Bayern midfielder Joshua Kimmich said. “When it's a game of patience, then it's important for us to know that sometimes one goal will have to do. Like today we added two more before the finish, but in the end you only need to score one more than the opponent.” Bayern next hosts Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League on Tuesday, then Borussia Dortmund away in the Bundesliga next weekend, before defending champion Bayer Leverkusen visits in the third round of the German Cup.

BOISE, Idaho (AP) — Freshman wide receiver George Dimopoulos threw a 25-yard touchdown pass to Dane Pardridge on the first play of double overtime and Jordan Hansen ended the game on a fourth-down sack to give Northern Illinois a 28-20 victory over Fresno State on Monday in the Idaho Potato Bowl. Dimopoulos, who played quarterback in high school, also converted the two-point conversion when he passed it to quarterback Josh Holst for his second completion of the season. Holst, a freshman walk-on, was making just his third start at quarterback as NIU was without starter Ethan Hampton, who entered with 1,600 yards and 12 touchdowns to go with six interceptions. Holst completed 18 of 30 passes for 182 and two touchdowns for Northern Illinois (8-5). He was also intercepted on the first play of the game. Both teams missed a 35-yard field goal in the final three minutes of regulation, including Dylan Lynch's third miss of the game on the final play to send it to overtime. Fresno State started overtime with a touchdown when Bryson Donelson was left wide open out of the backfield to haul in a 9-yard touchdown pass. NIU needed five plays, and a defensive holding penalty, to score as Holst found Grayson Barnes for a 3-yard touchdown. Donelson finished with 15 carries for 82 yards and a touchdown for Fresno State (6-7). He added three catches for 28 yards and another score. Dual-threat quarterback Joshua Wood was 16 of 23 for 180 yards and a touchdown. Mac Dalena made six catches for 118 yards to help go over 1,000 yards for the season. Fresno State was without 14 players, including starting quarterback Mikey Keene after he transferred to Michigan. Two top-three receivers, Jalen Moss and Raylen Sharpe, also did not play as the Bulldogs were forced to use five new starters. Get poll alerts and updates on the AP Top 25 throughout the season.

(AP) — New Jersey gambling regulators have handed out $40,000 in fines to two sportsbooks and a tech company for violations that included taking bets on unauthorized events, and on games that had already ended. In information made public Monday, the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement fined DraftKings $20,000. It also levied $10,000 fines on Rush Street Interactive NJ and the sports betting technology company Kambi. According to documents released by the state, Rush Street accepted 16 bets worth $1,523 in Nov. 2021 on a college basketball game between the University of North Carolina-Asheville and Tennessee Tech University after the game had already concluded with a UNC victory. Kambi told the enforcement division that a trader had failed to manually remove that game from its betting markets, saying it had stopped receiving messages from its own sports data provider due to a network connectivity error. Kambi said it has updated its guidelines and retrained its traders to prevent a recurrence. Kambi, which is based in Malta, did not immediately respond to a message seeking comment Monday. Rush Street declined comment, and DraftKings had no immediate comment Monday. DraftKings stopped using Kambi in 2021. In March 2022 Rush Street took seven bets totaling just under $2,900 on three Magic City Jai Alai games after the results were already known. Kambi told the division it experienced a connectivity issue that allowed the bets to be accepted after the games were over. An explanation of what Kambi did to address the situation was blacked out in documents released by the division. A month earlier Rush Street took 13 wagers worth $8,150 with pre-match odds on a Professional Golf Association match after the event had already begun. In this case, Kambi told the division a newly hired trader failed to enter the correct closing time time for bets on the event. The trader and a supervisor underwent retraining. DraftKings was fined for taking bets on unapproved events including Russian basketball for nine months in 2020 and 2021. It eventually voided over $61,000 in bets and returned the money to customers after being directed to do so by the state. In this case, Kambi told the division it misidentified this particular Russian basketball league as one that was approved for wagering in New Jersey. DraftKings told the state it did not catch the error, either. In 2020, DraftKings accepted 484 wagers on unapproved table tennis matches. Kambi incorrectly enabled the events for wagering without conditions required by the state, the division said. In Feb. 2022, the division said DraftKings took pre-season NFL bets involving specific players but did not give the state specific information on what information was to be included in the bets, drawing 182 wagers worth nearly $7,000 that were later voided and refunded to customers.
