The Arena Football League (AFL) is back.   The AFL is like a cat with nine lives, just when you think they were dead, they come back to life.  The league begins its third edition of the original indoor football league which began in 1987.  The original AFL ran from 1986-2008 then again from 2010-2019.  Both leagues failed due to financial troubles.  Arena fans are hoping the league is on a better financial foundation to make a strong start but with teams in Salina, Kansas and Billings, Montana the question will be if the new AFL will have enough viable markets to survive. The third edition starts with an ambitious plan with 16 teams in their return.  Some are teams from other indoor leagues and a few teams have been resurrected from previous AFL franchises.  The league is already planning to add the Arizona Bandits and Chicago Rush in 2025. Teams will play 10 games with the top three teams in each division making the playoffs.  The division winners will get a first-round bye.  ArenaBow

In the first year of bowling, Jacksonville State recently won the 2024 National Championship in College Bowling with a thrilling 4-3 over Arkansas State.  The match was played in front of a national television audience and a packed house at Detroit's historic Thunderbowl lanes. Former McKendree Coach Shannon O'Keefe knows how to build a championship program as she led McKendree to the 2017 and 2022 titles.  She led Jacksonville State to success with her first team. In a battle between the nation’s top two teams (the 12th time they had met this season), the top-ranked and top-seeded Jacksonville State Gamecocks (103-23) found themselves in a 3-2 hole behind No. 2 Arkansas State Red Wolves with their backs against the wall. The Red Wolves definitely pushed Jacksonville State, reversing momentum after a back-and-forth start to win the fourth and fifth games to take a 3-2 lead and pull to within one win of their first national title. It didn’t faze the Gamecocks, however. They sett
