Virginia Cavaliers - 2019 NCAA Division 1 Basketball CHAMPIONS!!

Ten years after arriving in Virginia, Tony Bennett coached the Cavaliers to a National Championship. The Hoos were led by Kyle Guy, De'Andre Hunter, and Ty Jerome, with key plays throughout from Mamadi Diakite, Kihei Clark, and Braxton Key. The final three games were incredibly close, with UVA losing with less than 15 seconds left in each of them, only to pull them out - versus Purdue, Auburn, and the final victory in overtime over Texas Tech.

Newport at T-Mobile Park

The Newport Knights played in the 2019 High School Baseball at T-Mobile Park, the home of the Seattle Mariners. Jack was set to pitch the 7th inning, but with Newport winning 24-2 they didn't play the 7th. He got to sit in the bullpen and warm up though.
