Penn State All-America wrestler Braeden Davis has been charged with three misdemeanor and two summary offenses after a March 29 early-morning incident at Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity house in State College.
Davis, 20, is facing charges of resisting arrest, evading arrest or detention on foot, criminal trespass, consumption of liquor or malt or brewed beverages, and public drunkenness, according to State College Police and first reported by onwardstate.com.
Police said Davis and an unnamed friend twice had been asked by the fraternity to leave the premises and were arguing with a security employee when police arrived. Police said they could smell alcohol on Davis’s breath.
The report noted that Davis asked police if he could leave, and when an officer said he could not until proper identification was completed, Davis moved his friend in front of the officer and the officer saw that as an attempt to flee.
The complaint said when Davis attempted to leave, he was caught within 10 yards and a struggle ensued. While being subdued, Davis broke an officer’s wristwatch and radio earpiece and ripped the body camera out of the officer’s vest.
Davis was taken to the police station and later transported to Mount Nittany Medical Center for an alcohol overdose, the complaint read. Police said Davis’s blood alcohol content was .225%.
The Belleville, Michigan, resident just completed his sophomore season at 133 pounds on Penn State’s national championship wrestling team. He finished fifth at that weight class in Philadelphia on March 22. He wrestled at 125 pounds as a true freshman and won a Big Ten title but did not earn All-America status.
“We are aware of the charges against Braeden Davis,” a Penn State Athletics spokesperson said. “These alleged actions do not reflect the values and standards of our program and will be addressed. We will not comment any further as this is an ongoing legal matter.”

Bishop Bambera comments on election of Cardinal Robert F. Prevost as new pope

SCRANTON — The Most Rev. Joseph C. Bambera, Bishop of Scranton, released the following statement on the election of Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost, as the new pope, who has chosen the papal name Leo XIV:
“Today is a day of great joy and thanksgiving in the life of the Church as we welcome a new Successor to the See of St. Peter.
“I invite all the faithful of the Diocese of Scranton to join me in fervently praying for our new Holy Father, Pope Leo XIV, who has been chosen today by the College of Cardinals as the 267th Pope.
“While the election of Pope Leo XIV is historic as the first North American to be elected pope, his vast missionary experience of walking among the poor and serving those on the margins with humility, will serve him well as he echoes Christ’s call of going forth and making disciples of all nations to all people.
“With this selection, I believe the Cardinals have recognized the vibrancy, faithfulness and strength of the Church in the United States. For generations, American Catholics have sought to embrace the Gospel with compassion — and having a shepherd chosen from among us is both humbling and affirming. It also speaks to the goodness that has grown in the church of North America — a goodness bearing fruit in service and evangelization.
“We entrust Pope Leo XIV to the care of the Holy Spirit. May his heart be open to divine guidance, and may he be filled with strength, wisdom, courage, insight and compassion for the great responsibility that lies before him.
“This is a beautiful moment for our Church to show its unity. Let us remain united in prayer — and especially hope — in the weeks and months ahead as the 2025 Jubilee Year continues.”

Scott Baio is a proud dad.
The Happy Days star, 64, excitedly announced that his 17-year-old daughter Bailey DeLuca Baio has committed to Providence College as a Division 1 golfer on the Friars team.
“Proud dad moment. Division 1 in The Big East Conference,” Baio wrote in a post on X on May 6 alongside a poster announcing Bailey’s commitment.

In a second post on X, Baio shared a photo of Bailey pointing to a sign that reads, “Welcome to Friartown,” at an airport baggage claim.
In the replies, former Olympic figure skater Todd Eldredge said, “That’s Wicked Pissah! She’ll learn that New England term soon enough. Congrats!” Baio replied, “Thanks so much. My daughter is thrilled PC has hockey teams and people ice skate at the arena on the off season!
Actress Kristy Swanson, who starred alongside Baio in the 2021 film Courting Mom and Dad, offered her congratulations as well, writing, “What a gal, so well deserved.” Baio responded, “Have your son go to PC as they have a good hockey team!”

The Joanie Loves Chachi alum is often posting content with his daughter on social media. In March, the father and daughter duo recapped Bailey’s golf tournament in a three-part video series on Instagram just one week before the budding golfer took over her dad’s account to share their trip to a polo game.
In September 2024, Bailey and her father co-posted an Instagram video showing what a day in her life is like as she hit the golf course.

Baio shares Bailey with his wife Renee Sloan. Shortly after Bailey was born on Nov. 2, 2007, doctors were concerned she had a rare metabolic disorder called glutaric acidemia type 1. After three months, it was determined that Bailey did not have the condition, but the Baios started a foundation to help children with the disorder following the scare.

Former Alabama coach Nick Saban is expected to co-chair a new presidential commission on college sports reform, initiated by President Donald Trump.
The commission aims to address significant issues in college athletics, including Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) payments, transfer rules, and conference alignments.

A source told The Athletic that Saban, a vocal critic of the current NIL system, will work alongside a prominent businessman with deep ties to college athletics.
The initiative follows a meeting between Trump and Saban at the University of Alabama’s spring graduation, where they reportedly discussed the state of college sports.
The outlet also reports that the President will be “very engaged” with the commission as they attempt to steer collegiate sports in a better direction.
Saban responded to the news late last night on X, writing, “It’s Time to get College Football back on Track!!!”

After trekking back-and-forth along the 6,095-yard Keene Trace Golf Club for three days under up-and-down weather conditions in Nicholasville, Kentucky, the historic journey by the Kansas State women’s golf team paused on Wednesday shortly before 12:45 p.m. That’s when the indomitable Wildcats smoothly completed the 18th hole of the final round in the 2025 NCAA Lexington Regional, thus putting the final touches on a brilliant performance that will extend their dream season for another couple weeks.
Ticket punched.
K-State is going to the national championship.
Let that sink in. Let it marinate like second-year head coach Stew Burke, assistant coach Rinko Mitsunaga, and the Wildcats did three hours after the regional, after holding the “TICKET PUNCHED” sign on the golf course, and now sitting in an Italian spot they found prior to the regional and had revisited every day, the chatter and laughter intermixed with heaping spoons of pasta during a late lunch, as the players relived their individual journeys during the day, and as the Wildcats’ first appearance in a regional since 2017 elevated into the first national championship berth in history for a program that has authored one of the greatest comeback stories ever witnessed in K-State sports.
“A lot of people told me it couldn’t be done, that this was a hard job,” Burke said, his cellphone pressed to his ear amid restaurant noise. “There were doubters about what we could achieve here. But this is the standard. This is what we want to accomplish every single year. I’m so incredibly proud of what we’ve started to build here. With the right support and right recruits coming in over the coming years, there’s no reason why we can’t build on this and go even farther in future years.”
K-State tied for second place behind ACC Champion and No. 1 seed Florida State. Meanwhile, the legendary career of Carla Bernat continues as the Augusta National Women’s Amateur Champion and 2024-25 Big 12 Women’s Golfer of the Year fired 12-under par 204 to win the Lexington Regional individual title — beating Florida State’s Mirabel Ting and Lottie Woad, who rank No. 1 and No. 2 in the World Amateur Golf Rankings. Bernat’s performance in the final round included an albatross on the par-5 fifth hole, which was the first albatross in her collegiate or international career.
“Carla really had a great tournament and built well into the week,” Burke said of Bernat, who led the field by going 9-under par on the par 5s. “Winning a regional against the No. 1 and No. 2 players not just in the country but the world is no easy feat. It was special to see her albatross at hole 5, and it came right when we needed it as a team. To win once in college golf is an unbelievable achievement, but eight times is truly remarkable. She has a bright future ahead of her after college, but let’s first try and add to that total in California.”
Just as Bernat has captured attention in Augusta and Lexington, she’ll arrive with her team at the 2025 National Championship on May 16-21 at Omni La Costa Resort & Spa in Carlsbad, California, as one of the standouts to watch.
The rest of the Wildcats won’t be far behind.
It was just last week that Burke sat in his cream-colored office at Colbert Hills Golf Course and emphatically declared that the Wildcats, who missed out on a regional last season, and were selected as the No. 5 seed for the Lexington Regional, needed to force their way to a spot at the table. The top four seeds in Lexington were No. 1 Florida State, No. 2 USC, No. 3 TCU and No. 4 Vanderbilt. How would the Wildcats respond in the field of 12 teams? Could they be one of the top five finishers and advance to the national championship?
Here were the final overall results: 1. Florida State (-15), No. 2 K-State (-10), No. 2 Georgia Southern (-10), No. 4 USC (-7), No. 5 Vanderbilt (+2).
“Our mantra all week was, ‘They don’t want us here. We’re K-State. We’re not supposed to be at this party,'” Burke said. “The girls took that personally, went out and played with swagger. They pushed our way in. We weren’t going to let what it was in the past dictate what we were going to be in the future. That’s the cool part.
“History is made.”
K-State entered with firepower with Bernat and Big 12 Champion Sophie Bert, freshman Nanami Nakashima, sophomore Alenka Navarro and junior Noa van Beek. The players took turns helping the team score. This was, indeed, a team effort.
After going 8-under par over the second nine holes of the first round on Monday, K-State battled rainy conditions for an even-par 288, which was good for second place. van Beek and Bernat each posted a score of 2-under par 70 to sit in a tie for third place individually. On Tuesday, K-State shot an even par again to reside in third place overall with a 36-hole score of 576, while Bernat fired a 4-under par 68 to remain in contention for the individual regional championship title.
The night before the final round wasn’t kind to Burke.
“I tossed and turned a little bit,” he said.
There was so much to do. He had a list of things to bring to the golf course. Then the team had to check out of its hotel. Then there was the rental car, and making sure it was packed and ready to go so the girls could enjoy a peaceful breakfast. Burke had never overslept in his life. It was also his biggest fear. The fuss over preparation for Wednesday allowed little time for him to lie in darkness and stare at the ceiling, thinking of the approaching final round that could alter the perception of K-State women’s golf.
Once on the golf course, it was on.
K-State, which entered Wednesday in third place and just six shots clear of the cutline, turned in the round of the day at 10-under par 278, which tied for the eighth-lowest round in program history. K-State’s three-round total of 10-under par 854 was the sixth-lowest 54-hole score in program history and 12 shots clear of the cutline.
The Wildcats proved to be brilliant in the clutch.
After finishing a collective 12-over par on the back nine holes over the first two rounds, K-State went 5-under par on the back nine on Wednesday, which was the best of any squad in the 12-team field. K-State recorded a regional-leading 20-under par on the par 5s, tied for first with two eagles or better, and finished second with 47 birdies, just one birdie behind team regional champion Florida State.
“Our girls had each other’s backs,” Burke said. “It’s not about who plays well and who’s No. 1. They know they all need each other to have great rounds and great scores. If they don’t have a good round, they don’t wallow. They know the goal is to move the team. We have a really good team-based culture. Just seeing the desire to keep moving up the leaderboard and to beat teams and force our way in there is pretty cool.”
The national championship begins on Friday, May 16, with the first of three days of stroke play. Following Sunday’s third round, the field will be cut to 15 teams and the top nine individuals on non-advancing teams for the fourth and final round on Monday, May 19, to determine the top eight teams that will advance to match play as well as the 72-hold individual champion.
The team national champion will be determined by a match-play format that will consist of quarterfinals and semifinals on Tuesday, May 20, followed by the finals on Wednesday, May 21.
Monday’s final round of stroke play, and all three rounds of match play will be shown on GOLF Channel.
The TV audience will see K-State, one of the top comeback stories this year in the world of women’s golf, working to keep its dream season going.
“The girls have two coaches that believe in them and have a vision and a clear plan of where we want to go with this team,” Burke said. “Of course, they were nervous and a little anxious Wednesday.”
He paused.
“This was uncharted territory,” he said. “This had never been done before.”
Until now.
Ticket punched.
K-State is going to the national championship.
