DENVER — Hamilton College Head Women’s Basketball Coach Mahogany Green was selected by her fellow classmates to receive the 2025 WeCOACH NCAA Women Coaches Academy Class #54 Impact Award on Wednesday, May 21.

The award recognizes a member of the Academy class who leads by example with an elevated, selfless commitment to the encouragement of other’s success and an unwavering dedication to their own personal and professional achievement. More than 80 women coaches were part of this year’s NCAA Women Coaches Academy.

Green has won 78 games since she arrived on the Hamilton campus in 2018. The Continentals have finished with a winning record four times and earned four New England Small College Athletic Conference championship tournament appearances under Green.

The four-day event offered transformational experiences focused on leadership development and personal growth for women coaches from all sports and collegiate levels, including both two-year and four-year institutions. These women represented 24 different sports, including several NCAA emerging sports, and came from a diverse collection of institutions across NCAA Divisions I, II, and III, the NAIA, CCCAA, NJCAA, and NWAC.

Since its inception, more than 2,300 coaches have graduated from the NCAA Women Coaches Academy. The program centers on holistic leadership development, providing women coaches with the skills, confidence, and community to elevate their effectiveness both personally and professionally. 

 

EA Sports released the full trailer for EA Sports College Football 26 on Thursday morning, with Alabama wide receiver Ryan Williams and Ohio State wide receiver Jeremiah Smith as the premier athletes on the cover of the game.

 

 

It’s the second year EA Sports has released the game after renewing it following the legalization of NIL in college athletics. Last season, over five million new players picked up the game that now features the biggest names in college football.

With the trailer release came the announcement that over 300 real-world coaches are in the game for the first time ever, including the NCAA games that were discontinued in 2014.

 

The initial coach to debut the coaches in the game is Ohio State’s Ryan Day, who led the Buckeyes to the 2025 College Football Playoff National Championship, securing his first victory in the national championship game. He previously had lost to Alabama in the 2020 College Football Playoff National Championship.

 

 

However, with 134 schools in the game, 300 new coaches can only mean one thing: Coordinators must be in the game as well. We assume Alabama head coach Kalen DeBoer will join the ranks of the SEC coaches in the game (the trailer debuted Steve Sarkisian of Texas, and Georgia head coach Kirby Smart is on the cover), but could that mean we see Alabama’s coordinators in the game too?

 

If we do, it will be the first video game adaptation of Alabama offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb and defensive coordinator Kane Wommack. Similar to real life, coordinators will have the ability to leave the player’s school and accept a head coaching job somewhere else.

 

Grubb joined Alabama as the Crimson Tide’s offensive coordinator after spending one season in the same role with the Seattle Seahawks of the NFL. Wommack is entering his second year as Alabama’s defensive coordinator after being the head coach at South Alabama for three seasons. Wommack led the Tide’s defense in 2024 to a top-ten ranking for the first time since 2017.

WILLIAMSBURG — Jazmyn Johnson, a Williamsburg resident and gymnast, will continue her academic and gymnastics career at Fairmont State University.

Johnson began competing in gymnastics at an early age, and knew she wanted to earn a scholarship to compete in college. She also knew that for a chance at a scholarship, her skills would have to wow the judges.

“When I would see other people at different gyms get higher scores than I would, it would motivate me, because I knew I could get those scores too, but only if I worked hard,” Johnson said.

After switching gyms, Johnson began training at World Class Gymnastics in Newport News.

“When I first got to World Class, I was training level seven, and I got moved up very quickly to level eight. I did one year of level eight and did very well and got very high scores. Me and a couple of my other teammates were on the Virginia state team that year. That’s basically when they chose a group of level eight gymnasts at states to represent your home state,” Johnson said.

While training for level nine, Johnson faced a few setbacks with injuries. Due to a torn ligament in her foot, Johnson had to take time off training.

“It really wasn’t my best year because I didn’t get my skills as quickly as everybody else did because of my injury. My coaches were training me for level ten after that season. I did one competition and I really wasn’t very confident during the one competition. I didn’t have as many skills as I wanted to and I’d never really been in that position before,” Johnson said.

As a senior at Lafayette High School, Johnson began looking at colleges as the recruitment process began. When she stepped foot on the Fairmont State University campus, she said it felt like home.

“My call with Fairmont felt very different. I knew that I wanted to visit and see how the experience was. When I went to visit, it was something I wasn’t expecting. It wasn’t too big, it wasn’t too small. It was 100% something that I wanted to do. It just felt like home when I was there,” Johnson said.

Johnson signed on to Fairmont State to compete for the school’s acrobatics and tumbling team. She says that acrobatics and tumbling is a mix of cheerleading and gymnastics.

“Acro is kind of like cheerleading. They do stunting, they do a whole bunch of tumbling, and I think they even have, like, a little dance section. It’s very, very different from gymnastics with the cheerleading aspects included,” Johnson said.

As she prepares to head to Fairmont State in the fall, Johnson wants to leave behind a piece of advice for future gymnasts.

“Trust the process. There will be days where you aren’t 100% sure that you want to do gymnastics anymore. You will go through those moments of stress in life. Believe in yourself and show up for yourself,” Johnson said.

The 2026 Fairmont State Acrobatics and Tumbling season will kick off in February.
