HUFFMAN, Texas – A Huffman youth baseball team is trying to recoup the losses after at least $2,900 was stolen that should have helped cover costs for an upcoming tournament.
The incident happened Thursday around 11:45 a.m. just after an assistant coach for the Huffman 12U All-Stars said he left a bank in Humble and stopped at a nearby restaurant on FM 1960 Bypass Road West for lunch.
When Marcus Thornton returned to his car, thieves had broken the front passenger window of his truck and the money was gone, he said, believing he may have been followed.
In addition, he said the thieves took several of his son’s championship rings and checks that should have gone to other area youth sports teams or fine arts groups, as he runs a company that helps the groups raise funds.
Thornton reported the incident, believed to be a jugging, to Humble police. The department confirmed an investigation is underway and detectives are looking into the possibility that Thornton was followed from the bank.
However, the strip center where the break-in occurred doesn’t appear to have any exterior cameras.
Team coach Wayne West said the team will be at Swamp Donkeys Seafood in Kingwood at 5 p.m. on Friday, where the owner has agreed to let the boys bus tables to start recouping the money.

MONTREAL — With their stalls positioned next to each other in the back corner of the Montreal Canadiens’ visiting dressing room, the Blackhawks’ Oliver Moore, Nick Lardis and Ryan Greene summoned over CHSN TV analyst Darren Pang on Thursday.
What they wanted to know was whether Pang thought they were the youngest current line in the NHL. If anyone would know, Pang, also a national analyst, probably would.
Pang wasn’t positive, but he definitely thought they had to be close with Lardis and Moore both being 20 years old, and Greene, 22. Officially, they are tied for the youngest line. The San Jose Sharks’ line of Collin Graf, 23, Macklin Celebrini, 19, and Igor Chernyshov, 20, averages out the same.
“They’re as young probably as any line I’ve had in the NHL,” Blackhawks coach Jeff Blashill said before Thursday’s 4-1 loss to the Canadiens. “I’ve had a line in college or junior maybe. So, yeah, they are a young line.”
Blashill chose to put the trio together when Lardis arrived to the NHL last week because he thought they could complement each other well. Greene and Moore had chemistry together with the Rockford IceHogs in the AHL earlier in the season. Greene, a center, has earned more and more of Blashill’s trust throughout the season due to his two-way play, vision and composure. Plus, all three of general manager Kyle Davidson’s draft picks possess speed.
“I feel like we’re obviously young, but we play with a lot of energy, like we’re fast players,” Greene said. “So I think it’s been great, you know. It’s an opportunity that, obviously, (we’re) all like thankful we’re getting and trying to make the best of it, make it work together.”
Together, there is a unique comfort level, too. As welcoming as veterans can be, the dynamic is usually different when younger players are playing with older ones. For Moore, Lardis and Greene, they communicate more freely with each other.
“We know each other so well,” Moore said. “It’s definitely a lot of comfortability.”
In the line’s three games together, they’ve had their ups and downs. In their first game together, they came out flying against the Detroit Red Wings and set the pace. They haven’t consistently found that level since, but they’ve had their share of shifts where they’ve been dangerous. Greene and Lardis had a two-on-one opportunity on Thursday, and Greene drew a penalty during it. Overall, though, Thursday was a tough game. With the line on the ice in five-on-five play, the Canadiens had a 12-6 advantage in shot attempts, 6-0 in shots on goal and 5-3 in scoring chances. The line had a 36.93 expected goals percentage, according to Natural Stat Trick.
“They struggled tonight, to be dead honest with you,” Blashill said. “It is a lot to ask of three guys of that age with that inexperience to step into the NHL and try to get it done. You don’t have anybody that can help carry you around a little bit. They’ve had moments of good, and tonight was not good enough. It’s a process for them. That’s part of what we’re doing here: putting these guys in spots where they’ve got to grow. We’ll see what we do — might mix the lines up a little bit come Saturday, but we’ll see how that goes.”
Like Tuesday against the Toronto Maple Leafs, the Blackhawks held Thursday’s game close enough to win. They just have such a small margin for error right now with their offense being minimal without Connor Bedard.
Thursday’s game began to turn against the Blackhawks after two penalties in the final minutes of the second period. Dominic Toninato took the first one. The Canadiens scored on their power play, but it was overturned when challenged for offside. A minute after the Blackhawks killed that penalty, Frank Nazar took another one. The Canadiens began that power play strongly, but couldn’t get a goal before the period ended. But 20 seconds into the third period, they scored and went ahead. They carried the play most of the period from there and added two more goals to secure the win.
“I thought we came out, we played pretty strong, relatively even through the first two periods,” Blackhawks defenseman Matt Grzelcyk said. “We took probably too many penalties at the end of the second. They just completely outplayed us in the third. I think they had a level of desperation that we couldn’t match. That’s unacceptable on our end.”
The Blackhawks had their share of scoring chances at five-on-five. It wasn’t completely lopsided in that respect. Notably, Tyler Bertuzzi had a few chances that just missed. The Blackhawks know they need more offense if they’re going to win, though. They’ve scored a total of three goals in the three games without Bedard. The Canadiens had a 35-15 advantage in shots on goal.
“We passed up shots in scoring areas, so that would be step one,” Blashill said. “You can’t pass up a shot in a scoring area. We literally passed it out of a scoring area into a non-scoring area. That’s nonsensical. We’re going to have to simplify that piece of it and make sure we have much more of a shooting mentality and create the chaos off the shots.”
The one goal the Blackhawks did score Thursday was a much-needed one for Nazar. Grzelcyk found him at the back post, and Nazar knocked it into the net in the first period. It was his first goal in 22 games.
Nazar didn’t have much interest in discussing the goal coming in a loss, but Blashill did. Blashill thought it was coming.
“I think he’s been playing good enough to deserve that,” Blashill said. “We just talked about it today, him and I, that, ‘If you just keep it up, you’re going to get rewarded.’ It was good for him to get rewarded. It’s unfortunate it wasn’t in a win, but we’re going to need him these next few games here to get hot and really feel it offensively, and that’s a confidence thing. So certainly scoring helps that.”
Nazar finished the game with nine shot attempts.
Quick hits
• Louis Crevier, who is from Quebec, was the go-to Blackhawks player for the Montreal media before Thursday’s game. He was swarmed by a group in the Blackhawks’ dressing room after their morning skate.
• Thursday’s game included three overturned goals due to challenges. The Blackhawks correctly challenged two for offside, and the Canadiens challenged another for goaltender interference.
• Blackhawks defenseman Artyom Levshunov returned Thursday after being a healthy scratch in the last game and played a team-high 21:58.
ATLANTA — The Arthur M. Blank Family Foundation is committing millions of dollars to help six metro Atlanta school districts expand access to middle and high school sports.
According to a release from the foundation, more than $6.3 million will be split between through grant funding from the foundation and a partnership with Atlanta United, the Atlanta Falcons and PGA TOUR Superstore.
Citing data from the Aspen Institute, the Blank Family Foundation said average families in the United states spent more than $1,000 on their children’s primary sports participation in 2024, a reported 46% increase from 2019.
The funding from the grants is aimed at lowering participation costs and increasing the variety of sports offered through the metro Atlanta area, as well as improving sports experiences for students.

Elite Athletes’ Families Gravitating Toward the Sport
As Wisconsin prepares to face Kentucky in the NCAA women’s volleyball Final Four, the roster includes Carter Booth, the 6’7″ daughter of Calvin Booth, who played 10 years in the NBA and served as GM of the 2023 NBA champion Denver Nuggets.
“Volleyball really appealed to her. She gravitated toward it early. She never really played basketball,” Calvin Booth told Front Office Sports. “There wasn’t really a fork in the road to make a decision.”
Cari Spears, who plays at Texas, chose volleyball despite both parents playing professional basketball. Her father Marcus Spears is an ESPN NFL analyst and former Cowboys first-round pick, while her mother Aiysha Spears was a first-team All-SEC basketball player at LSU and WNBA first-round pick.
“I wish it was some intricate story, but it’s what she chose,” Marcus Spears said. His wife introduced Cari to volleyball at age five, and she committed to the sport immediately.
Penn State’s current roster features three daughters of pro athletes: Caroline and Ava Jurevicius, whose father Joe Jurevicius had a 10-year NFL career, and Alexis Ewing, daughter of NBA Hall of Famer Patrick Ewing. Tim Duncan’s daughter Sidney plays at Stanford. Jackie Taylor, daughter of late NFL safety Sean Taylor, plays for North Carolina. Willie McGinest’s daughter plays at USC.
The pipeline continues to build. Kevin Garnett’s daughter Kapri is in Michigan’s incoming signing class. Steph Curry’s daughter Riley (13) and LeBron James’s daughter Zhuri (11) are both competing in youth volleyball.
Scale of Youth Participation
Youth volleyball operates on a massive scale that many outside the sport don’t recognize. Calvin Booth described convention centers hosting over 100 courts with continuous action. “There’s games going on from 8 am till 8 pm,” he said. “The amount of girls playing the sport is probably mind-blowing if you’re not really familiar with it.”
Marcus Spears drew a direct comparison to basketball. “You can go to a convention center and see 6,000 girls playing volleyball, whereas with a basketball tournament it’s probably 800.”
Media Coverage Accelerating Growth
Television networks have significantly increased volleyball coverage in recent years. In 2023, Fox aired a Wisconsin-Nebraska game immediately following an NFL broadcast window. Nebraska also hosted a match in its football stadium that drew over 90,000 fans, which Big Ten Network televised.
This year, ESPN delivered its most-watched women’s college volleyball season on record. A Nebraska-Kentucky game on ABC drew 1.2 million viewers.
Katie George, ESPN sideline reporter and former ACC Player of the Year at Louisville, explained the network’s approach. “One of our bosses once said you have to show the game to grow the game. The more that we’ve shown volleyball, the more people across the country are falling in love with it, because it’s such an easy watch.”
George highlighted the sport’s appeal: “There’s a fast-paced nature, and you’re seeing something unbelievably athletic happen in women’s volleyball every 10 seconds. People are diving all over the floor, laying their bodies on the line.”
Looking Ahead
The combination of expanding media coverage, massive youth participation, and high-profile athlete families choosing the sport creates conditions for continued growth. The scale difference between volleyball and basketball participation at the youth level (6,000 versus 800 at comparable tournaments) suggests volleyball’s grassroots foundation may be stronger than commonly understood in the broader sports industry.

Colorado Springs, Colo. and Hartford, Conn. (December 19, 2025) — USA Ultimate, the national governing body for the sport of ultimate in the United States, and 2-4-1 Sports, a global nonprofit dedicated to making sports accessible through its award-winning sport sampling, announce a formal partnership aimed at bringing the sport of ultimate to thousands of young people across diverse communities.
Under a new partnership agreement, 2-4-1 Sports will integrate ultimate into its school-based and camp programming — introducing new players to the sport and creating pathways for continued engagement through USA Ultimate’s youth membership and collaboration with local disc organizations.
USA Ultimate will provide technical guidance, curriculum support, and promotional visibility, while endorsing 2-4-1’s model as a proven framework for long-term athlete development.
“Having recently testified before Congress on the state of youth sports in this country, it was reaffirming to see bipartisan acknowledgment that access, affordability, and where sports live matter just as much as competition,” said Steve Boyle, Executive Director of 2-4-1. “Our partnerships with national governing bodies like USA Fencing and now USA Ultimate validate the boots on the ground work we are doing every day in schools and communities. We love ultimate because it is incredibly accessible. Kids can play it almost anywhere, often with minimal equipment, and the sport naturally teaches problem solving, self regulation, and conflict resolution. It is one of the best entry points for helping kids fall in love with being active and connected through sport.”
The partnership also includes collaboration with the Ultimate Foundation, USA Ultimate’s philanthropic arm, to co-develop grant opportunities and expand access for underserved youth and girls nationwide.
“This partnership embodies our mission to grow the sport of ultimate and ensure that every child has the opportunity to play,” said Kevin Erlenbach, CEO of USA Ultimate. “2-4-1’s approach to sport sampling and social-emotional learning is a natural fit for ultimate’s emphasis on inclusivity, self-officiating, and community.”
Together, the organizations will identify pilot sites, co-host events, and create training resources that combine physical literacy, play, and ultimate to help children build lifelong healthy habits.
