There will be new start times for the @RIIL_sports state cross country championship meets on Saturday, Nov. 7, at Ponaganset High. The boys' race will start at 11:30 a.m., instead of the usual 2:15 p.m. time, and the girls' race will begin 45 minutes later.

Former NFL quarterback A.J. McCarron will be the head coach of next spring's new @UFLRhodeIsland team. McCarron last played for the St. Louis Battlehawks in 2024 and served as the Birmingham Stallions' head coach last spring before that team folded.

The United Football League is coming to R.I. in 2027 -- an expansion team will play at Pawtucket's Centreville Bank Stadium, and the team name, colors, etc., will be announced at the stadium on Oct. 18. valleybreeze.com/news/pawtuc… via @TheValleyBreeze

It's back to Holy Cross on Thursday morning for the @UDPost14 baseball team, which won its 5th straight American Legion state title: Post 14 will play Essex, Vt. in its regional opener. Here's a look at an eventful twinbill sweep for the state crown. valleybreeze.com/news/lincol…

Blackstone Valley Schools has won the D-2 championship on Jaxon Boyes' goal 1:47 into the fourth OT. The AMP is going crazy!

We're going to a fourth OT. Next goal wins the championship.

Here we go again: We're headed to OT of the D-2 boys' hockey championship game between Blackstone Valley Schools and @LHSRI_Athletics, thanks to a goal by BVS senior Colin Dorgan with 30.2 seconds left on regulation. You can't make this up. @Fic27 @PCDAthletics @SaintRays

I had a wonderful afternoon with Ms. Bessette's first-grade class at the Francis J. Varieur Elementary School in Pawtucket, talking about the sports they played and reading "Marathon Mouse" to them. What a great bunch of kids! Thank you for the invitation! @PSDRI_Schools

Scituate High senior Ryan Larsh became the 11th basketball player in his school's history, and only the third from the boys' program, to score 1,000 career points in today's 59-24 win over Block Island, the fifth in a row for the Spartans. @RIBCABasketball @SpartanPrideRI
