Win or Learn


Win or learn. You never lose, reads the mural in Sant Pere de Ribes, Spain, a town of 30,000 inhabitants 25 miles from Barcelona. The image depicts local hero Aitana Bonmatí Conca, clutching a Ballon d’Or trophy in one arm and embracing a younger version of herself with the other.

The journey of the world’s best women’s player began here, just 670 miles from the site of what Bonmatí hopes will be her next career triumph. After winning nearly every trophy there is to win, the 27-year-old has her sights set on claiming Spain’s first UEFA women’s Euro title in Switzerland. (Bonmatí rejoined the Spanish team after being hospitalized with viral meningitis one week before the start of the tournament.)

It’s been a long and winding road to this point for Bonmatí, starting out in that small Spanish town as the only girl playing soccer among the boys. “My first memory is playing soccer in the schoolyard of Escola El Pi,” Bonmatí says. “Times have changed a lot in recent years. When I was young, I didn’t have the chance to look into the future and see [female] role models to aspire to.”

Aitana Bonmatí grew up in a household where giving up was never an option, where speaking up for your values was simply part of life. When she was born, her parents made the bold decision to reverse the traditional Spanish naming order in favor of gender equality. As a result, she became one of the first people in Spain to carry her mother’s surname as her first name

Equality would continue to guide Bonmatí’s decisions. After being the lone girl on boys’ teams in her hometown, she took the crucial step to join Barcelona’s female academy—Barcelona Femení Academy—when she was 14. Jumping at the chance to wear the same colors as her idols, Andrés Iniesta and Xavi, the players she watched avidly on TV every weekend in the village bar. To play for the club that runs through everyone’s veins in that part of Spain. 

The opportunity had come with a twist, however. Barcelona didn’t have a fully professional women’s team at that time. Playing at the Camp Nou was still only a boys’ dream back then. And Bonmatí’s goal was clear: she wanted to become a pro. She and her family had briefly considered a move to the University of Oregon in the United States, where women’s soccer was already an established and respected reality. But in the end, she opted for Barcelona. 

And three years later, in summer 2015, her decision looked like the right one. Barcelona’s board rewrote the future of European women’s soccer as their women’s team turned professional and Bonmatí—who earned her place in the first squad one year later—could finally forge her path, becoming the idol and role model she never had.

“I think that women’s football has grown a lot [in Spain] in the last six or seven years,” Bonmatí says. “I think Barça has played a fundamental role because since we won the Champions League and since they have bet on us, we have been the most recognized team in Europe and the world.”

The numbers tell the story: Six league titles (Liga F), three UEFA Women’s Champions League titles (appearing in six of the past seven finals), seven national cups (Copa de la Reina) and five Spanish Super Cups catapulted Barcelona Femení into the most famous club in the world. 

“It’s a privilege to have become a role model for so many girls and boys,” Bonmatí says. “Today I can see many people wearing my jersey in Barcelona or around the world and this is something unique that was impossible to imagine just a few years ago.”

The growing popularity of women’s soccer is there for all to see. Twice in less than a month in 2022, Barcelona broke the world record attendance for a women’s soccer match as more than 91,000 fans packed into Camp Nou for two crucial Champions League matches—an accomplishment more wide-reaching than winning trophies. 

“What we have generated at the social level in Barcelona, filling the Camp Nou every now and then, and having a lot of fans at the Estadi Johan Cruyff [the women’s team’s home stadium] every week,” Bonmatí says. “I believe it’s almost impossible for any other team.”

This hugely successful Barcelona team also served as the backbone of Spain’s historic first World Cup triumph in 2023, with Bonmatí awarded the Golden Ball trophy as the player of the tournament. A midfield maestro, Bonmatí dictates the rhythm of the game when in possession, while directing her teammates with a distinctive arm gesture when off the ball.

“My dad says that I look like a policewoman directing the traffic, because I spend a lot of time directing the game with my arms,” Bonmatí says. “I believe this is part of my game and of my leadership, of how I see football. I constantly scan the game and what is happening on the pitch, I evaluate all the possibilities and try to find the best solution.”

The girl who once dreamed of her spot in the local team is now one of the greatest in the game. Just like her idol Iniesta had 13 years previously, she wore the No. 6 jersey for a World Cup-winning Spain team. And whereas in 2010 the chant was “Campeones del Mundo,” the masculine form of champions, this time, it was: “Campeonas del Mundo,” the feminine form. 

As a soccer player, the best that can happen to you is winning the Champions League with your club and the World Cup with your national team. It was an unforgettable day,” Bonmatí says. “We played in Sydney, and I don’t even know how many miles from home we were. In a full stadium, after a month and half of training and a month of tournament. These feelings are really hard to describe, you need to feel them.”

Spain’s World Cup success is particularly remarkable when you consider the atmosphere in the lead up to the tournament. A few months before the Spanish squad flew out to New Zealand, Bonmatí was part of a group of 15 players to declare themselves unavailable for selection. They stated that head coach, Jorge Vilda, was negatively affecting their health and emotional wellbeing and they would not return until a solution was found.

Driven by the desire to represent their country in the most important tournament, Bonmatí and seven other players later declared themselves eligible. Against all odds, somehow the team came together to reach a common goal, showing the whole world what they can do—an outcome even Bonmatí didn’t anticipate.

“It was a surprise for us and for everyone. We faced a complicated season and we weren’t so close as a team for everything that happened in the previous year. Many times we say that together we are stronger, and in theory it’s true, but it wasn’t the case for our squad competing in the World Cup,” she says. “The year leading [up] to the tournament was tough, and we managed to succeed because everyone, individually, showed the best version of ourselves. It was a combination of talent and the best version of each one of us, and then the stars were aligned.”

What followed has been well documented, as the celebrations were overshadowed by the then-president of the Spanish Football Federation, Luis Rubiales, kissing Spain forward Jennifer Hermoso without her consent.

“Unfortunately we haven’t been able to truly enjoy this achievement because of everything that happened,” Bonmatí says. “So I hope the future will bring us better celebrations than the one we had, because moments like these should be enjoyed not just that day, but every day that follows—and sadly, we weren’t able to celebrate it.”

Under duress, Rubiales resigned and was issued with a three-year ban by FIFA. In their next match against Sweden, their first with a World Cup-winning star on their badge, the team expressed solidarity by raising their fists with Hermoso’s No. 10 inscribed on their wrists and holding a banner that read: #SeAcabó, or “It’s All Over.” Staying silent was never an option.

Winning two FIFA Ballon d’Or awards in the past two years is the ultimate recognition of brilliance on the pitch. But her greatness goes far beyond trophies. Bonmatí has become one of the most influential women’s sports figures of this century.

Even during her most triumphant moments—like her last speech at the Théâtre du Châtelet during the FIFA Ballon d’Or ceremony—she remained focused on what truly matters: her team, and the ongoing fight for equality. 

“I always say I have a responsibility that goes beyond the playing field. I know I have a voice that’s heard and that carries weight. I try to use it to speak up for better conditions or for causes that matter—but the truth is, we need the backing of the institutions that really have the power to make change,” she says. “For me, it’s about belief. When institutions truly believe in what they stand for, when they fight with conviction and consistency, things move forward. But when they act out of obligation, just to tick a box, things rarely go well.”

Heavy is the crown that the world’s best player wears, but Bonmatí is well aware, and well placed, to deal with the responsibility she has been given as the global face of women’s soccer. From her campus for boys and girls in her hometown of Sant Pere de Ribes, to her global sponsorship deals, Bonmatí always pays attention to the values that she wants to share through her image. 

“For me it’s a privilege to have become a role model for so many boys and girls, and I’d like to make an impact on society not only through what I have achieved in football, but also through the values I represent,” she says.

The boys and especially girls in her hometown now have a world famous hero they can meet in the streets. Girls around the world now have an idol they can imitate while playing soccer in the schoolyard, dreaming of a full stadium chanting their name.

Bonmatí and her generation opened doors that will stay open long after they finish playing, but she acknowledges there is still much to accomplish. “I believe a lot has been left undone. Although we have achieved major milestones, the moment hasn’t been fully capitalized on to create a true impact on society, like what happened in England after they won the Euros in 2022, or what the U.S. has been doing for years.”

The 2025 UEFA Women’s European Championships could be such an opportunity for Bonmatí and Spain, looking to make history by bringing home the title for the first time.

“It’s one of the few competitions I have yet to win, so trying to lift that trophy is one of my goals,” says Bonmatí.

Win or learn, you never lose. Just like the mural reads.

Affidavit reveals AI-generated plan in alleged grooming case against Mesquite pastor’s son and volleyball coach

Published

on


An arrest affidavit obtained by CBS News Texas reveals more details about what led up to the arrest of a teacher and volleyball coach accused of grooming a teenage girl to have a sexual relationship with her, including the discovery of an AI-generated document outlining manipulation tactics.

Matthan Lough, 32, was arrested on Dec. 10 on a charge of child grooming, a third-degree felony. His father, Kevin Lough, was the senior pastor of the Christian Center of Mesquite, where some of the alleged grooming took place.

The victim and her mother filed a report with Mesquite police about Lough on Oct. 2. According to police, the victim’s mother found out about the relationship earlier that week.

Mesquite police: Grooming began more than two years ago

The affidavit outlines how the case began with an interaction at a party in the spring of 2023.

According to the affidavit, the victim met Lough at her cousin’s graduation party when he approached her while she was playing volleyball. The victim recognized Lough from church, as his wife was the worship leader for their youth group. Lough asked her if she would be interested in joining a club volleyball team he wanted to start at the church. 

It was not until the fall of 2024 that Lough held tryouts for the team, and the victim was given a spot, the affidavit said. The victim reported a series of unusual interactions with Lough over the following months in which he shared overly personal details about his life and marriage, then began to make flirty and inappropriate jokes, according to the report.

Lough’s inappropriate behavior escalated further over the summer of 2025, when he started sending the victim explicit messages and discussed committing murders, the affidavit said. Lough also repeatedly made sure the victim knew he was carrying a gun, making her fear for her safety.

In September, the affidavit describes the relationship turning physical. Lough allegedly kissed the victim at a church event. Later that month, he sexually assaulted her twice, the victim told police.

The relationship ended after the victim’s mother discovered the inappropriate messages on the victim’s devices. Her mother then contacted Lough’s wife.

Police said that after the victim filed the report, detectives obtained a search warrant and found an AI-generated document on Lough’s iPad titled “Hypothetical Counter-Influence Plan.” The document outlined phases such as “rebuild her autonomy” and “shift the power dynamic,” and provided guidance on how to achieve success.

Fallout from child grooming case

After the relationship was uncovered, police said Lough’s wife left Texas. Court records show she filed for divorce in October.

Lough’s father also resigned as senior pastor of the Christian Center of Mesquite. In a post on the church’s website, its board said the church would work to seek justice for the victim. It also said the church has “initiated an immediate internal review of all child protection policies, volunteer screening processes, and facility access logs to ensure the absolute safety of every child and youth within our care.”

Seniors Ashley Currier and Marin Hangliter as well as sophomore Olivia Baxter of the Clarkson University Volleyball team have been named to the College Sports Communicators Academic All-District® Volleyball team. 

The 2025 Academic All-District® Volleyball teams, selected by College Sports Communicators, recognize the nation’s top student-athletes for their combined performances on the court and in the classroom. To be eligible, student-athletes need to be of sophomore standing both athletically and academically, hold a cumulative grade-point average of 3.50 or better, and have participated in 90% of sets or have started at least two-thirds of their respective team’s matches. 

Baxter, a sophomore majoring in Chemical Engineering, was a Liberty League Second-Team All-Star thanks to her excellence in the back row. Baxter ranked 22nd nationally in digs per set (5.40 dps) and was 57th nationally in aces per set (0.63 aps).

In a match against University of Rochester she nearly posted an incredibly rare feat, coming up just one kill short of a quadruple double (31 assists, 16 digs, 10 blocks, and 9 kills). 

Hangliter, a senior majoring in Environmental Engineering, finished the season averaging 2.62 kills per set, which ranked second on the team. She also was second in the Liberty League in aces per set with 0.64, which placed her 49th nationally in that category.

CSC’s Academic All-America program recognizes the nation’s top student-athletes for their combined performances on the court and in the classroom. Both Kerr and Kubik earned spots on the CSC Academic All-America ballot, which will be announced on January 13, 2026.

One of the top setters in Tennessee history, Kerr currently ranks sixth all-time in both assists (3,259) and assists per set (10.65). The two-time All-American setter has led the team in assists in each of the last three seasons, eclipsing the 1,000-assist mark in both 2023 & 2024.

Kubik led the team in kills (390), kills per set (4.19), points (431.0), and points per set (4.63) this season. She had double-digit kills in 24 matches, reaching 20 or more on four occasions.

The Bowerman presentation next stage for Jordan Anthony

Published

on



FAYETTEVILLE – Jordan Anthony is one of three male finalists from the 2025 season for The Bowerman as each awaits the announcement of this year’s trophy recipient during the presentation that will be held Thursday evening at the Gaylor Texan Resort in Grapevine, Texas.

Started in 2009, The Bowerman is presented annually by the USTFCCCA to the top male collegiate athlete and to the top female collegiate athlete in the sport of NCAA track & field. Coverage of The Bowerman Presentation will be available for free on runnerspace.com starting at 6:20 p.m. (CT).

The Bowerman men’s finalist includes Auburn’s Ja’Kobe Tharp and Baylor’s Nathaniel Ezekiel. While Anthony swept NCAA Indoor 60m and NCAA Outdoor 100m titles, Tharp claimed a pair of NCAA titles in the 60m hurdles and 110m hurdles. Ezekiel won the 400m hurdles at NCAA Outdoor and finished second in the 400m at NCAA Indoor.

Anthony is the fourth Razorback to be a finalist for the men’s Bowerman. Two Razorbacks have claimed the honor with Jarrion Lawson (2016) and Jaydon Hibbert (2023) while Ayden Owens-Delerme was a finalist in 2022.

“It’s the Heisman of track and field,” noted Arkansas men’s head coach Doug Case. “I think Jordan has had the best combined season with indoor and outdoor. The points he scored at conference and national championships were part of a tremendous season. I feel he should be the No. 1 candidate to win the award.

“We have tradition here at Arkansas with the Bowerman. We’ve had two winners who were superstars as well. Jordan is right in that category with those guys.”

Jordan Anthony | 2025 Postseason Meets

Indoor    
SEC   10 points
  60m 1) 6.54 =PR
NCAA   10 points
  60m 1) 6.49 [6.47 UA record in prelim]
     
Outdoor    
SEC   21.5 points (Commissioner’s Trophy | High Point Scorer)
  100m 1) 9.95 [UA record]
  200m 1) 19.93 [No. 2 UA]
  4 x 100m 3) 38.60
     
NCAA   16.5 points (High Point Scorer)
  100m 1) 10.07
  200m 4) 20.01
  4 x 100m 3) 38.72

In completing his first full season of collegiate track and field instead of sharing time with the football program, Anthony delivered a pair of national sprint titles and three SEC titles while claiming high point honors at both SEC Outdoor and NCAA Outdoor Championship meets.

Aided by the scoring efforts from Anthony, Arkansas placed fourth in team scoring at the NCAA Indoor and were third at NCAA Outdoor. The Razorbacks were named John McDonnell Men’s Program of the Year as they produced three podium finishes in cross country, indoor and outdoor track and field for the 2024-25 season.

It marked the first three NCAA trophy season by a Division I men’s program in nine years and the first by the Razorbacks since 1999-2000.

Anthony earned the Commissioner’s trophy at the SEC Outdoor Championships as the high-point scorer with 21.5 points as the Razorbacks claimed the team title.

Twenty of those conference points came in sweeping the 100m and 200m with stellar performances of 9.95 and 19.93 as Anthony became just the third sprinter in SEC history to achieve the sweep with sub-10 and sub-20 second times.

Named the SEC Outdoor Runner of the Year, Anthony became the first Razorback to attain the honor since Caleb Cross in 2012.

Anthony was also the high-point scorer at the NCAA Outdoor Championships with 16.5 points. Combining the NCAA Indoor (10 points) with his NCAA Outdoor tally, Anthony produced the most points between both championships in 2025 with 26.5 points.

“It was a great season and being healthy is a very important part of it,” said Case. “I think we did a great job in the weight room. Our training room did a great job of keeping him healthy. In coaching him, I brought him along really slowly. I didn’t try to push the speed on him too soon. I tried to prolong his season all the way into NCAAs. It ended up working out pretty good.

“For Jordan to be dedicated to that in the short period of time we had to work to get him to that level, I think he did a tremendous job of being focused on his season and the goals he wanted to achieve. It kind of proves if you really put your nose to the grindstone in a short period of time you can get a lot of stuff done.”

Anthony established UA school records in the 60m and 100m with times of 6.47 and 9.95. In sweeping the NCAA titles, Anthony became the first sprinter since Christian Coleman of Tennessee in 2017 to claim the NCAA 60m and 100m titles. Anthony was also the lone sprinter to reach the NCAA Indoor 60m, NCAA Outdoor 100m and 200m finals this season.

In addition to setting school records in the 60m and 100m, the 19.93 performance in the 200m ranks second on the Arkansas all-time list behind a 19.89 registered by Wallace Spearmon, Jr. in 2005.

Having a reunion tour in 2025, Jordan visited his previous collegiate stops on his journey to Arkansas. First was College Station, Texas, as the SEC Indoor was hosted by Texas A&M. Kentucky hosted the SEC Outdoor and then there was a return visit to College Station for the NCAA West First Rounds where Anthony sprinted to a blistering time of 9.75w seconds with a 2.1 aiding wind.

“It was great, honestly, because due to the fact people believed I was fast but I couldn’t really show that I was fast because of my previous injuries,” said Anthony. “I knew my time would come and I knew what I would be capable of doing. When I got out there it just turned to magic.”

Another reunion occurred at the Mt. SAC Relays in Walnut, California, near where Anthony was born in the Los Angeles area. There he won the 100m in a then career best of 9.98 to initially break the Arkansas school record.

In winning the NCAA Indoor 60m, Anthony feels that was his best executed race during the season while his most significant race was winning the SEC Outdoor 200m.

“I hit exactly every angle I needed to hit,” stated Anthony of the 60m race. “Then 40 to 45m out I was already celebrating because I knew I had the race won.

“My most important victory was probably the 200m at SEC Outdoor. Just shutting everybody up and quieting the stands since nobody even thought that I would be in the picture of winning the 200m. That was a really big moment for me. It put a dagger in everybody’s heart.”
