Jeri Kievlan is the founder and head coach of the Santa Cruz Mountains Renegades, a competitive youth fastpitch softball program in Santa Cruz County.

The program was created by Kievlan to provide a year-round feeder program for girls 12 and under to develop their skills for high school teams. Kievlan’s fellow coaches and players have all benefited from her guidance, and that was no more evident than over the weekend of Oct. 18-19, as the Renegades smashed the competition in the All-Star Monster Mash Tournament, scoring 54 runs and winning six games in a row.

Following their celebratory showing, coaches and players united to share their insight about the team, the season and what lies ahead.

In a season that Kievlan describes as “truly special,” the Renegades 14U softball team has shown that small-town determination can compete with the best. Despite facing older, stronger teams, this group of middle school athletes has powered through with grit, unity and a love for the game that feeds their desire to persevere in the sport.

“This season was all about fire, grit and hard work,” said Kievlan, who has led the Renegades with passion and purpose. “The girls wanted it not just for themselves—they wanted to perform well for each other.”

The Renegades entered the 14U division this year, where seventh graders faced off against high school freshmen, which was no small challenge. But instead of being intimidated, the players took it as an opportunity to grow.

“We expected a growth year,” Kievlan said. “They’ve exceeded every expectation. This team has the right attitude and culture, and they know how to have fun and work hard.”

The team’s commitment shows in their demanding schedule—three to four practices a week focusing on fundamentals, agility, strength training, mental toughness and team bonding. Supported by an all-female coaching staff with elite-level playing experience, the Renegades have built an environment that balances discipline and joy.

“We still have work to do,” Kievlan added. “But we’re humble, we’re hungry and we’re proving that small towns can compete with the big cities.”

Assistant Coach Alegra Erot-Reveles echoed that sentiment, emphasizing the team’s chemistry.

“This team is just so much fun to be a part of,” she said. “Their growth in skills, strength and love for the game is so exciting to watch. There are no egos here. They truly care for one another.”

Coach Annalise Bryant added, “Watching these young ladies develop their confidence and teamwork has been inspiring. Their friendships and memories will last a lifetime. They’re not just becoming athletes—they’re becoming remarkable young people.”

As for the athletes, they’ve got their bats at the ready to compete in the upcoming M&M Classic in November, and they’re looking ahead to score another decisive win. A handful of the players weighed in on the season thus far, and their aspirations in life.

First baseman and outfielder Maddie King (eighth grade, SLVMS) said her first full year of competitive ball has been transformative. She’s worked on fielding and hitting faster pitches, with hopes of one day becoming a historian.

Skylar Dowling (eighth grade, Baymont, Scotts Valley) loves the camaraderie of her team and said her biggest lesson has been learning to work hard and support others. Her dream? Joining the Army.

Catcher and outfielder Taylor Johnson (seventh grade, SLVMS) said, “Catching is my favorite!” She’s learned to “QTIP—Quit Taking It Personally,” and plans to be an ultrasound technician.

Ali Rice Torrez (eighth grade, New Brighton) praised “the team and the culture on the Renegades,” focusing on staying positive and pushing her speed. She hopes to become a lawyer.

Lucy Davison (seventh grade, SLVMS) loves “being with my team and winning tournaments.” She’s working on confidence at the plate and dreams of becoming an interior designer.

Kylie Kievlan (seventh grade, Baymont, Scotts Valley) said her highlight was being invited to the Midwest Summer Nationals. She’s also learning how to balance being coached by her mom: “On the field, she’s not ‘Mom,’ she’s ‘Coach.’” Her future goal: to become a labor and delivery nurse.

Tigers avoid arbitration with seven players

Published

on


The Tigers on Thursday reached agreements on one-year deals for 2026 with a flurry of players to avoid arbitration.

Thursday marked the deadline for teams to exchange proposed salary figures with unsigned players that would be used in a potential arbitration hearing to determine their salary. Detroit announced it came to terms with seven players:

• OF Riley Greene: $5 million
• 1B Spencer Torkelson: $4.075 million
• OF Kerry Carpenter: $3.275 million
• RP Will Vest: $3.95 million
• UTIL Zach McKinstry: $4.2 million
• SP Casey Mize: $6.15 million
• LHP Tyler Holton: $1.575 million

The Tigers entered this offseason with a long list of arbitration-eligible players, including two-time AL Cy Young Award winner Tarik Skubal. The club did not come to terms with Skubal, which means they might need an arbitration hearing to determine his salary figure for the 2026 season.

A source told MLB.com’s Mark Feinsand that Skubal filed for $32 million, while the Tigers countered with $19 million. Skubal’s figure would set a new record for the highest salary earned by a pitcher in arbitration. The current record is held by former Tigers lefty David Price, who earned $19.75 million in 2015, and the record for any player is $31 million by Juan Soto.

Greene is coming off a strong 2025 campaign in which he earned his second consecutive All-Star nod and his first Silver Slugger Award. He recorded an .806 OPS and logged career highs in homers (36) and RBIs (111). This marked the 25-year-old’s first year of arbitration eligibility. He’s under club control through 2028.

Torkelson (who’s also under club control through 2028) had a career year in his fourth big league campaign. Over 155 games, the 26-year-old slashed .240/.333/.456 (all of which were career highs) with 31 homers (tied for a career high), 78 RBIs and a 117 OPS+ (a career high).

Carpenter hit a career-high 26 homers this past season and slashed .252/.291/.497 over 130 games. He went on to hit two homers and log a .910 OPS over eight postseason games, both of which led Detroit. He, too, is under club control through 2028.

Vest and McKinstry are each under club control through 2027. Vest recorded a 3.01 ERA in 68 2/3 innings over 64 appearances. McKinstry earned his first All-Star nod and Silver Slugger Award while recording a .771 OPS and 113 OPS+ (both career highs) over 144 games. He appeared at every position but catcher and center field.

Mize earned his first All-Star selection while going 14-6 with a 3.87 ERA and a 3.89 FIP in 149 innings over 28 starts. The 2026 season is his final year of club control before he can become a free agent.

Holton recorded a 3.66 ERA over 70 appearances (including six starts as an opener) in 2025. He’s under club control through ‘28.

Detroit previously came to terms with outfielder Matt Vierling ($3,255,000), reliever Beau Brieske ($1,157,500) and catcher Jake Rogers ($3,050,000) in November to avoid arbitration.

Money Is Ruining Sports At All Levels

Published

on


Jameson416

Jan 08, 7:41 AM

The unfortunate part with a lot of it is you simply can’t find appropriate competition at the “local/rec” level for several sports. This is especially true for baseball leagues by the ages of 9 or 10. If your kid can play, and wants to improve and play with similarly talented kids, travel becomes the only option in a lot of places. It really sucks, bcz there are a lot of travel teams that really arent even that good, and if everyone would just agree to play rec, the leagues could be strong… but thats just not the way it works out in most cases. Thankfully that mentality hasn’t overtaken football in our area, and I’ll never be a proponent of single sport specialization.

I really like what the above poster said about “being ok spending the $, if the kid is willing to work.” That’s pretty much 100% where we are as well. My oldest is way more into it and so thats what we do, including private training etc… my middle child is actually prob a better natural athlete (speed, quickness, etc) but he just isn’t to the point of caring that much yet, which we’re totally fine with. Im a firm believer in meeting your kids where they are, seems to make for a better outcome.

I wholeheartedly agree though, youth sports have become outrageous. But where do we go from here?

BACKGROUNDER: Supreme Court to Hear Oral Arguments for West…

Published

on


On January 13th, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court will hear oral arguments for West Virginia v. BPJ and Little v. Hecox, cases arguing that West Virginia and Idaho’s bans preventing transgender students from playing on the school sports teams that align with their gender identity violate both Title IX and the United States Constitution’s Equal Protection clause.  As transgender youth continue to face numerous targeted attacks from healthcare to education, these cases mark another key moment in the fight against anti-LGBTQ+ discrimination that could have implications beyond the sports world.

Human Rights Campaign Senior Director of Legal Policy Cathryn Oakley released the following statement ahead of oral arguments:  

“The issues at play in these cases are basic fairness and equality. Every child, no matter their background, race, or gender, should have access to a quality education where they can feel safe to learn and grow–and for many kids that involves being a part of a school sports team. To deny transgender kids the chance to participate in school sports alongside their peers simply because of who they are is textbook discrimination—and it’s unconstitutional.

“The legal support for the challenges to these clearly discriminatory laws is clear.  Yet in these cases, we once again have the Alliance Defending Freedom, the Project 2025-affiliated group that brought the case that overturned Roe v Wade as well as many anti-LGBTQ+ lawsuits, fighting to dismantle well-established civil rights protections. These bans aren’t just about attacking trans kids–they’re about policing gender. The Court should follow the law, reject this callous bullying, and ensure every child in school can feel safe and supported in their educational journeys.”

2x World Cup Champion and HRC Board Member Ashlyn Harris released the following statement ahead of oral arguments:  

“It’s not an exaggeration to say that sports saved my life. Not only did it teach me about leadership, accountability, and teamwork, it gave me a sense of belonging and safety that I needed to survive. Every kid deserves this opportunity, and it breaks my heart to see efforts to take sports away from trans kids who just want a place to play and belong. As a 2x World Cup Champion, I can say unequivocally that the types of bans in front of the Supreme Court do nothing to solve the actual problems facing women’s sports that I spent my career fighting for–including equitable pay, safety, and a lack of resources and respect. Instead, they hurt all women and girls by encouraging folks to police what we look like and how we show up in the world. Let’s stop with the bullying and let all kids play.”

Details of the Cases: 

West Virginia v. BPJ is brought by the ACLU, the ACLU of West Virginia, Lambda Legal and Cooley LLP, who are representing a West Virginia family and their daughter Becky (B.P.J), a middle school student who was not allowed to try out for girl’s sports because she is transgender. B.P.J asserts  that the ban violates her rights under Title IX and the Equal Protection Clause of the U.S. Constitution. The U.S. Department of Justice under the previous administration supported her case, and B.P.J. won the protection of a preliminary injunction.  The Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the injunction as well. 

Little v. Hecox is brought by the ACLU and the ACLU of Idaho, Legal Voice, and Cooley LLP on behalf of Lindsay Hecox, a transgender student at Boise State University who was impacted by  Idaho’s 2020 transgender athletics ban. Hecox asserts that the ban violates her rights under the Equal Protection Clause of the U.S. Constitution. A federal judge issued an injunction blocking enforcement of Idaho’s anti-transgender sports ban, which was later upheld by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.

Last year, the Supreme Court decided to take up the cases together, hearing oral arguments on January 13th, 2026. A decision is expected in Spring of this year.  

Potential Impact of these Cases: 

The state bans in these cases are being challenged on two grounds: Title IX and the Equal Protection Clause of the U.S. Constitution. 

The Supreme Court will have to weigh whether Title IX’s prohibition of discrimination on the basis of sex in federally funded educational programs includes a prohibition of discrimination on the basis of gender identity, specifically in the context of sports.  

  • If the Court rules that Title IX does not include prohibitions for discrimination on the basis of gender identity, specifically for sports or more broadly, it would allow these anti-transgender sports bans to stand.  
    • Additionally, Title IX governs different types of sex-based discrimination beyond sports, including the use of people’s names and pronouns, what bathrooms a person can use, what dress codes they have to adhere to, whom they can take to prom, and even whether they can openly identify as LGBTQ+. 
    • Therefore, undermining Title IX protections for transgender people could create pathways for increased discrimination and exclusion in federally-funded educational institutions for all LGBTQ+ people. 
  • If the Court rules that Title IX does include prohibitions for discrimination on the basis of gender identity in sports, the Plaintiffs (Hecox and B.P.J.) would win their challenges and the state bans, and others like them across the country, would fall. 
  • On Equal Protection grounds, the Court will again be asked to determine what level of constitutional scrutiny anti-transgender laws must survive if they are to stay in effect.  Depending on the rationale the Court uses to justify the level of scrutiny they choose, that level of scrutiny could have implications for anti-transgender laws other than sports.

The Human Rights Campaign (HRC) is the nation’s largest LGBTQ+ civil rights organization working to achieve equality for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ+) people, with 3.6 million members and supporters. The HRC Foundation (a 501(c)(3)) works to ensure LGBTQ+ people are safe, seen and supported where it matters most: at school, at work and in every community across the country. From the courtroom to the classroom, from Congress to corporate America, HRC and the HRC Foundation build power through partnerships, storytelling, and action—working to create a future rooted in equity, freedom and belonging for all LGBTQ+ people.

All eight teams are expected to compete in the tournament, which will determine the league champion and the top four automatic playoff berths.

Scoggin added that this will be the final year of the league tournament.

Teams in the league are Irvine, University, Portola, Northwood, Woodbridge, Laguna Beach, St. Margaret’s and Sage Hill.

The last regular season league games are Tuesday, Jan. 27. The full schedule for the league tournament will be announced later, Scoggin said.

The Trinity League is also having a post-season league tournament this season, Feb. 2-4.

Panther alums show up against varsity

Published

on


ANAHUAC— Dusting off old sneakers, Anahuac High School alums joined in a friendly game of basketball against the new generation of Panthers, taking a couple of wins while raising funds for a worthy cause.

The Anahuac High School Gym was packed on Saturday, Dec. 20, for the 2025 Anahuac Panther Alumni Basketball Game, hosted by the Anahuac Youth Sports Organization in partnership with the Anahuac Independent School District.

“We are so proud of how this event turned out,” AYSO Communications Officer Samantha Humphrey said. “There was so much joy in the Panther Den, and it was incredible to see multiple generations come together for such a special night.”

Generations of Panther basketball players and fans enjoyed a day of basketball, with nearly 300 in attendance, all gathered for some lighthearted competition that served as a fundraiser supporting local youth sports.

With graduating classes dating back to 1998, a total of 28 men and 10 women returned to the court to see if they still had their skills.

Two men’s alum teams, coached by Tristan Lewis and Deray Williams, played in the opening game, followed by the women’s alum team, coached by Samantha Humphrey and Tori Lewis.

As for the game results, the 4 p.m. game saw Williams Alumni defeat Lewis Alumni.

At 5 p.m., Women’s Alumni faced Girls Varsity, with the alum team taking the win. At 6 p.m., the Men’s Alumni took the victory over the Boys Varsity.

Fans also competed during some three-point contests throughout the evening.

Winners included Meagan Perry, Women’s Three-Point Contest; Zachary Childress, Men’s Three-Point Contest; and Cullen Cotton, Open Three-Point Contest.

Perry received a prize of $110, Childress earned $170, and Cotton was awarded $250.

The evening was full of energy and Panther pride as alumni, current students, families and friends came together to support a sport they hold dear.

AYSO wishes to share a special thanks to AISD, the alum players, coaches, volunteers, referees and the community for making the evening a great success.

For more information about upcoming events or to find out how to get involved with AYSO, contact AYSO, follow the organization on social media, or join the group on Facebook at Facebook.com/groups/AnahuacYouthSportsOrg.
