MARIETTA, Ohio (WTAP) – Today was the final day of the Marietta college youth volleyball camp. Young players grades three through eight came to learn the game and have some fun. Head coach Kristy Newman sees this camp as a great opportunity for her players to get to know the community.
“It’s been great, you know, youth camp for us is an opportunity for our players to get to work with the community and that kind of stuff,” Newman says. “And it’s been really awesome to see. And some of our younger kids, players stepping into roles of leading and running courts and that kind of stuff. And the kids in the community look up to them so much and it’s been really cool to watch them interact with them.”
It’s also a great chance for the Pioneer players to reconnect over the summer. They all come in for the week to run the camp, and enjoy getting to be around each other again.
“It’s so awesome. You know, getting to have them here, we bring them in for a week, and we just kind of get to hang out with them. They get to, they love camp week because it’s hanging out with their best friends, right? So, it’s exciting and getting a chance to build those relationships with our players and getting coach Maggie that experience this week has been really awesome.”
Former Marietta standout player and now assistant coach Maggie Fellers is getting used to being on the sidelines instead of on the court.
“Very different,” Maggie says. “So a girl came up to the concession stand a little bit ago and was like, I had you my freshman year and you were in, like, kindergarten. And seeing her now in like 6th grade. I’m like, it’s crazy just to be a part of that kids volleyball journey is super special.”
Coach Newman and staff took a bit of a different approach to this year’s camp in an effort to get the campers to better learn and enjoy the game. The goal was for the kids to leave camp with a better feel for volleyball and a positive attitude.
“Yeah, you know, this year I think we tried something a little bit different. We wanted them to have more fun while also learning the skills. In the past, we’ve kind of been really skill driven and I think they’ve actually learned more with adding a lot more fun. Rolls into the mix. If that kind of makes sense.”
“Just touches like getting them used to the sport and making them feel comfortable and hopefully creating that love for the sport.”

Ex-Brophy track star Brennen McHenry transfers from Texas to ASU

Graham Rossini on Arizona State’s continued investment in track & field
Rossini said work is underway to rebuild the “track and field infrastructure” at ASU.
- McHenry aims to compete in high jump, long jump and the 100-meter dash for the Sun Devils, hoping to regain his peak form after a knee injury.
One of the best high school jumpers in state history is headed home.
Brennen McHenry, a 2023 Phoenix Brophy Prep graduate, is transferring from the University of Texas to Arizona State University. McHenry is the only high school combo jumper ever from Arizona to clear 7 feet in the high jump and hit 24 feet in the long jump.
With the track and field program at Texas undergoing a change that is seeing an influx of transfers, McHenry didn’t feel that the Longhorns were the best fit for him moving forward.
“I really wanted to go somewhere I was much more valued,” McHenry said. “Our Texas team is kind of going through a rebuild. This was the perfect opportunity for me to come back home.”
Both of McHenry’s parents attended ASU and he grew up attending football games. Being back in the Valley is a dream come true.
“When I was a little kid, I always thought I was going to go to ASU,” McHenry said. “It’s a full-circle moment to be here right now and represent them in athletics and doing track and field. That’s huge for me.”
The day after McHenry entered the transfer portal, he received a phone call from Phillip Butler Jr., the jumps coach at ASU. Butler already had a personalized plan ready for McHenry and acted quickly once he saw McHenry’s name in the portal.
As a senior at Brophy, McHenry exploded onto the scene when he opened the season with a 7-0 in the high jump and ended the year as the AIA state champion in the long jump at 24-10.25, which earned him a scholarship to Texas.
“When I was a senior, that was his (Butler) first year in the program,” McHenry said. “He called my dad and he actually apologized to myself and my dad. He was like, ‘I’m sorry for not recruiting Brennen harder. I was given the team I had and I couldn’t really add to it. I’m really sorry about it. This is my chance to make it up.’ It was very sincere.”
McHenry hasn’t been able to do much of the long jump and high jump in college. He sustained a knee injury after his coaches at Texas had him try out the triple jump.
Since 2023, McHenry has competed in only 13 long-jump competitions and seven high jumps.
The plan is for McHenry to do both the long jump and high jump at ASU and also run the 100 meters, where McHenry owns a personal best of 10.57 seconds. He will train with the sprinters and jumpers at ASU.
McHenry is a part of a 2025 men’s recruiting class that is starting to take shape for the Sun Devils track and field program and head coach Dion Miller.
College track and field coaches across the country are having to re-adjust their approach to team building as the impacts of the House settlement, which allows schools to directly pay athletes, start to take effect with roster limits. Some schools are just focusing on a few events, some are going hard on the transfer portal and international athletes.
ASU also has signed sprinters and brothers Duaine and Dontay Mayrant from California. Their mother, Lashinda Demus, was the 2012 Olympic gold medalist in the 400-meter hurdles.
Additional signees include: Nolan Bartle, the 2025 Texas 6A state runner-up in the 100-hurdles; Kingston Waring, the 2025 California state runner-up in the 300-hurdles; and Nasir Tucker, one of the top junior college long jumpers from Pima Community College in Tucson.
“I think the team is going to be good,” McHenry said. “I really do think the track and field team is going to be much better. We signed some great people so far across the board. I trust Dion with this. He seems like a great coach. I believe this team has great potential. People better look out for us. We’re not going to be quiet. We’re going to be out there.”
McHenry hasn’t been able to quite reach the form he had in high school, failing to record a personal best in the high jump in college. He was able to hit 25-0 in the long jump this past season, adding a couple inches to his personal best.
With specialized training and a new setting, McHenry is energized as he gets ready to compete for the Sun Devils. McHenry said his knee is “pretty close” to being at full strength.
“One of the things that is going to immediately help me is that I’m finding myself here. I’m back home. I’m at a college I really do resonate with and have grown up around,” McHenry said. “I really am expecting some big things for this next season. I believe it’s going to happen with the Sun Devils.
“I want to come there and I want to win the Big 12 championship. I want to bring it home to Sun Devil nation. That’s my goal.”

Shipyard redevelopment includes concert/festival spaces, playground, dog park and beach

GREEN BAY (WLUK) — The City of Green Bay is ready to move forward with phase two of the Shipyard project.
The outdoor space sits along the west bank of the Fox River, just north of the Mason Street bridge.
A riverfront promenade, boat slips and a kayak launch are just part of the original redevelopment of the Shipyard. The swings and serenity of the former brownfield appeal to locals.
“I actually brought my grandbabies here just the other day, just so they can take a look at it. This is a great place, we can come here,” said Mary Trevino of Green Bay.
With another $10 million, including half in grant funding, for the project, the city is prepared to attract even more people to the riverfront.
Officials unveiled concept renderings for phase two of the Shipyard during a committee meeting. The plans lay out what the city and residents want to see in the project.
“A lot of different features, a lot of different things. It will really kind of bring this park kind of to the next level,” said James Andersen, the deputy director of Green Bay’s Parks, Forestry and Recreation Department.
Plans include the addition of a great lawn — a space where festivals and concerts can be held. A statement art piece framing the riverfront will be the focal point, and a stage could be brought in for shows.
The Shipyard will also include a dog park, a playground for kids of all ages and a splash pad.
Andersen said, “We’re putting a lot in here, but the things that are in here are going to really be, I think, a little bit higher level than what we’re traditionally used to in a neighborhood park.”
Close to the water with river views, there will be a beach. The city is proposing space for two to four sand volleyball courts where leagues or tournaments could be played.
“Near the bridge is going to be where the sand volleyball courts and beer garden are,” Andersen said. “You’re also going to have an urban beach feel, with hammocks and different things that people can put their toes in the sand.”
The Shipyard isn’t just a park. It’s meant to be a destination for recreation and tourism.
“There’s a lot of different things in here, amenities that will bring people together. But it’s really the programming and the space activation that will anchor this and that comes obviously down the road once you have the amenity,” added Brian Johnson, executive director of OnBroadway and a Green Bay city councilmember.
Construction on phase two at the Shipyard is expected to get underway sometime next year.
In phase three of the project, the city would like to see a container park built. It would be a space for businesses to operate, within the park, attracting more visitors.

Top women’s water polo teams prevail, Day 1 of World C’ships sees low attendance
SINGAPORE – Day one of the World Aquatics Championships may have kicked off with a swathe of empty seats in the 3,000-seater OCBC Arena, but it was still business as usual for the big guns as the women’s water polo tournament got underway on July 11.

SINGAPORE – Day one of the World Aquatics Championships may have kicked off with a swathe of empty seats in the 3,000-seater OCBC Arena, but it was still business as usual for the big guns as the women’s water polo tournament got underway on July 11.
Olympic silver medallists and world No. 6 Australia recorded the biggest win of the day with an opening 34-2 win over the 22nd-ranked Singapore. In the other Group A game, Italy came from behind to down New Zealand 14-9.
Despite the defeat, the hosts felt they had improved from their 32-1 loss to the same opponents in their championship debut in Doha a year ago.
Singapore goalkeeper Rochelle Ong said: “There are definitely still more things to work on in defence and attack, but we have grown as a team in terms of chemistry, strategies, gameplay and bonding since we last played Australia.
“We are excited for our upcoming games against New Zealand (July 13) and Italy (July 15) and we aim to continue to improve.”
Earlier in the day, Olympic champions and world No. 1 Spain kicked things off with a 23-4 drubbing of South Africa in Group D, while 11th-ranked Britain came from behind to beat France (10th) 12-9.
In Group B, world No. 2 the Netherlands thumped Argentina 25-6, while China was level at 4-4 with defending champions and world No. 3 United States, who eventually pulled away with a 15-9 win.
Japan gave Asia something to cheer about with a 25-12 victory over Croatia in Group C, while Hungary edged Greece 9-8 in a rematch of their 2024 semi-final, which the Hungarians won in a shoot-out after a 9-9 draw.
Recent rule changes have made the game faster as the maximum first and second ball possession times have been reduced for both the men and women.
Singapore goalkeeper Rochelle Ong said: “Game play is definitely a lot faster now, and we have to be more mobile in moving the ball, and be more careful of the time. It forces us to play a more dynamic game, to move the ball quicker and try to find a free man to score.”
While the changes appear to suit the faster and stronger teams, South Africa skipper Shakira January felt they also provide the impetus for weaker teams to improve.
She said: “The professionals swim so much faster, so it’s better for them and more challenging for us because we take a little bit longer to get up the pool. But we have to do our best with our coach to be fitter and faster so we can become more competitive.”
As the action heats up in the pool, the players – many of whom are here for the first time – have only praise for the hosts’ sporting facilities, accommodation, food, hospitality and cityscape.
Noting that the people she has met here are “so nice and welcoming”, January said: “The competition venue is nice and big, and the pool is triple the size of what we see in South Africa. We don’t have facilities like this at home, so it’s so nice to come and play here.”
Spain centre-forward Paula Leiton struggled with the 32 deg C heat and 80 per cent humidity, but liked how the pool’s water temperature was cool and regulated, while China’s Zhang Qishuo enjoyed the food options at her team hotel.
There have been some teething issues for the first-time hosts.
Netherlands captain Sabrina van der Sloot noted that the team bus was arranged too early as they arrived at the OCBC Aquatic Centre more than two hours before their 10.35am start time – they usually arrive 90 minutes ahead of their match.
While she liked how it “feels like a special competition pool”, she also noted that the lane line fasteners on the drain covers may cause players to trip, pointing out that players have broken their toes at other venues. During the Greece-Hungary match, there were also a number of lengthy Video Assistant Referee review delays.
Local players also hope to see more fans turn out to watch them play.
While some of the July 11-Aug 3 championship events, such as the high diving finals and some swimming and diving finals are already sold out, the first-day attendance for water polo was in the low hundreds and mostly comprised the athletes’ friends, international fans and Team Nila volunteers.
The Straits Times understands that sales for tickets – priced between $10 and $140 – for the water polo, open water swimming and artistic swimming events have been slower.
Ong said: “My family, friends and colleagues are here to watch, and that’s good enough for me because they don’t usually get to watch me play in person.
“But I do agree that more people can come and watch women in sports, or just top-level aquatic sports in general. Hopefully, over the weekends, there will be more Singaporeans bringing their families down to come and watch us play.”
