ADRIAN, Mich. – The American Baseball Coaches Association (ABCA) announced its Regional All-Defensive Teams on Thursday afternoon, with each region selecting one player per position. Representing Adrian College on the Region 7 All-Defensive Team for the 2025 season is catcher David Kedrow.

In 321 defensive chances, he recorded 285 putouts, 33 assists, and committed just three errors, finishing the year with an impressive .991 fielding percentage.

TEMPE – Sun Devil Women’s Tennis head coach Jamea Jackson announced the hiring of Diego Nava as an assistant coach and promoted Charlotte Chavatipon to assistant coach as well.

Coming from Louisville, Nava boasts coaching experience at the collegiate and junior level, spending two seasons with the Cardinals and mentoring three players in the ITA Top 100 this past season. 

In 2024, he assisted the development of the All-American duo of Natan Rodrigues and Etienne Donnet, who made the semifinals at the NCAA Doubles Championships and finished with a program-best No. 4 in the year-end ITA Doubles Rankings this past May.

“I’m so excited to welcome Diego as our new assistant coach for the women’s tennis program,” said head coach Jamea Jackson. “He brings an exceptional level of experience and insight to our team and I’m confident our student-athletes will thrive under his guidance.” 

Before joining Louisville, Nava spent 18 months at the United States Tennis Association (USTA), working as an independent contractor with the top junior and professional American players and helping them train at the USTA Player Development campus in Orlando.

Nava played collegiate tennis for five seasons (2017-22), spending four seasons at Loyola Marymount and being ranked as high as No. 32 nationally in doubles play as a sophomore. The California native transferred to Xavier for one season, during which he reached a career-best ITA ranking in singles, ranking No. 51 in the country. 

Chavatipon was previously part of the program as a volunteer assistant coach this past season after playing collegiately at Texas for four years. She helped the Longhorns win two national championships in 2021 and 2022 and compiled a career record of 90-34 in singles and a 79-29 record in doubles during her tenure in Austin. She earned spots on the NCAA All-Tournament Teams in 2021 and 2022.

“We were incredibly lucky to add Charlotte as a volunteer assistant last year. Her love of the game, her infectious personality and her experience at the top of college tennis added so much to our team and our coaching staff,” said Jackson. “I’m delighted she will join our team as an assistant coach this upcoming season.”

In her senior season, she went 10-0 in conference play and had an impressive 17-5 dual match record from the No. 3 spot in singles. She primarily played alongside current Sun Devil Vivian Ovrootsky in doubles, where they went 18-4 as a duo. 

Chavatipon helped Texas win national championships in her first two seasons. As a sophomore, she recorded three top-75 victories in doubles and went 22-4 during the spring. In the NCAA Tournament, she recorded three-straight wins to cap the season and help clinch the doubles point against No. 2 Oklahoma in the national title match.

As a freshman went 25-1 in singles play and finished her first season in Austin on an 18-match winning streak. In the NCAA Championship, she clinched the doubles point and was the first player off the court in singles helping Texas win the national title.

Nava earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology from LMU, then earned a master’s degree at Xavier in sports administration before entering the coaching profession in tennis. Nava’s hometown is Woodland Hills, California. Chavatipon majored in applied movement science, and her hometown is Fullerton, California.

MOBILE, Ala. (WALA) – West Fowler, a 16-year-old trampoline gymnast from Gulf Breeze, Florida, is officially headed to Spain this fall as a member of Team USA. He’s been selected to compete at the 2025 Trampoline Gymnastics World Championships, taking place November 6 through 9 in Pamplona. West will represent the U.S. in the Double Mini Trampoline event, where he’s already recognized as one of the top athletes in the world. He’ll also serve as the alternate for the tumbling competition.

West began gymnastics at just one year old, growing up in the sport thanks to his parents, Blain and Alie Fowler, who own a gym. He currently trains at Panhandle Perfection Gymnastics in Gulf Breeze and on the Pensacola State College campus. In addition to his trampoline success, West is also a standout in artistic gymnastics. He was the regional Level 10 All-Around champion this season and took home individual titles on pommel horse and vault.

A student at Florida Virtual School, West balances intense training and travel with his education. His goal is to compete at the highest level in both trampoline and artistic gymnastics, and with his upcoming appearance at the World Championships, he’s well on his way.

Good luck, West!

Trump bulldozing his way into NIL business? College sports must have ‘real boundaries’

According to SEC commissioner Greg Sankey, despite Donald Trump‘s involvement in the Jeffrey Epstein controversy, the president apparently still has time to butt into college sports’ name, image, and likeness legislation.

According to SEC commissioner Greg Sankey, despite Donald Trump‘s involvement in the Jeffrey Epstein controversy, the president apparently still has time to butt into college sports’ name, image, and likeness legislation.

During a recent round of golf with the president, Sankey says Trump reaffirmed his goals to implement what Sankey dubbed “real boundaries” on the polarizing new system.

“It’s not a secret. I had a chance to visit with the President, along with Pete Bevacqua, the athletics director at Notre Dame,” Sankey bragged, via ESPN. “We met and played golf at Bedminster, and his interest is real. My takeaway: he wants to be supportive of college athletics, make sure that it’s sustainable, the Olympic program, and the Olympic development.”

He added: “Work that’s done on college campuses was on his mind. The support of women’s athletics was on his mind, but having some kind of real boundaries, and we’ve been in active conversations.”

The proposed executive order aims to create national standards for NIL, address athlete compensation, and provide clarity on the employment status of college athletes, according to WIBC. It also seeks to grant antitrust exemptions to the NCAA and other governing bodies to provide more stability.

Since July 2021, college players have controlled how their identities are used in marketing and promotional activities, and in some cases, earned large sums of money, essentially making them professionals who play on college courts and fields.

The NCAA’s prior restrictions on student-athletes being paid for their likeness led to legal challenges, culminating in the Supreme Court’s 2021 ruling, which found that these restrictions violated antitrust laws.

This paved the way for the NCAA to adopt an NIL policy and for states to enact legislation allowing student-athletes to monetize their NIL.

While the system is imperfect and has irked old school coaches — like seven-time national champion coach Nick Saban, who left the University of Alabama in Jan. 2024 due to NIL — some feel players deserve at least some of the immense revenue spawned by the thrills they provide.

Nonetheless, NIL has sparked an ethical debate surrounding its free-agent nature, and lack of leverage coaches have versus paid players, who can transfer as many times as they please for bigger paychecks. And Trump appears to have found way to leverage it all.

Rian Chudzinski signed with Moncton in the QMJHL. (Dave Arnold/NEHJ)

In Part 1 of the boys’ prep coaches survey, we focused on the players and teams of this past season. Part 2 looked ahead to next season.

But a large cloud of uncertainty hangs over prep entering this coming season, and that’s what Part 3 is focused on.

The CHL ruling.

Beginning last November, CHL players became eligible to play NCAA Division 1 hockey. This means many things.

For starters, NCAA programs have brought in quite a few current CHL players to begin this fall. They have also committed future CHL talent. There are, at least for now, fewer spots in Division 1 college hockey. More on that in a separate story.

But where this could really impact prep is that players now have the option of going to the CHL for junior hockey. Around here, the Quebec Maritimes Junior Hockey League has regional rights to New England players.

The CHL also includes the Ontario Hockey League, which has rights to players from states like New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, and the Western Hockey League.

So, we asked prep coaches what they think the fallout will be. All coaches were granted anonymity.
