Latest: Sherman: Amid tragedy, one high school basketball team shows the power of sports

GRETNA, Neb. — This is not a story about high school basketball. It’s not about a treasured coach who died midway through a season. It’s not a story of redemption, sorrow or achievement.It’s about togetherness. This is a story about community and a team that has revealed, through its resilience and fight to honor a lost leader, what the best of sports looks like.Wednesday night at Pinnacle Bank Arena in Lincoln, Neb., Gretna High School will play a first-round game in the Class A boys state tournament against Millard North.Brad Feeken coached the Dragons to win. He coached them with a passion known around Nebraska. His death at age 48 on Dec. 30, 2023, after a battle of more than two years with neuroendocrine cancer marked a new chapter for his players.Gretna starts five seniors and bri...

Latest: Unseen illustrations show the genius of Biba’s Barbara Hulanicki – in pictures

Beloved by celebrities such as Twiggy, Mick Jagger and Cher, Biba made style accessible to young people in the 60s and 70s. “Biba made fashion democratic – their clothes were inexpensive, of good quality and highly cherished,” says Martin Pel, curator of a new exhibition about the store founded by Barbara Hulanicki in 1963. These previously unseen illustrations, found in Hulanicki’s private archives, were made using pencil, pen and ink and gouache, and demonstrate why her designs are still regarded as the gold standard of fashion. “Barbara’s design philosophy followed on from her erstwhile career as a fashion illustrator,” says Pel, “where bold silhouettes and an avoidance of fussy detail made for a stronger look.” ...

Latest: The business of Sarah Nurse: She’s one of the faces of hockey, but her sights are set on more

TORONTO — Sarah Nurse was driving home from a recent PWHL Toronto practice when she got a bit of sage advice.It wasn’t from a podcast or a friend on the phone. The advice came courtesy of a billboard on the side of the road in Canada’s most populous city, featuring her own face with the Adidas slogan “You got this.”“I was like, yeah, I do,” Nurse said with a laugh.The billboard she drove past is one of many across the country, including a massive advertisement at Yonge-Dundas Square — Toronto’s closest approximation to Times Square in New York City — that pairs Nurse with Super Bowl MVP Patrick Mahomes and World Cup champion Lionel Messi.Nurse, 29, has had major partnerships in the past. In 2020, Tim Hortons and Mattel collaborated to make a Barbie doll in her likeness. In 2022, she was...

Latest: Caitlin Clark’s green-light range made her the gold standard in women’s college basketball

IOWA CITY, Iowa — It’s impossible to pinpoint the exact moment when it was determined in Iowa that any shot that left Caitlin Clark’s hands was not just a reasonable shot, but also a good shot. Because there are green lights, and then there are green lights. And Clark has matter-of-factly operated in the latter for much of her career.But there’s a solid argument to be made that it was Feb. 6, 2022.It was Clark’s sophomore season, and while she had been putting up big numbers, she wasn’t yet considered the one-woman wrecking crew that she has now become. To get to that level of lore, a player needs to not just throw the rocks but slay Goliath. And at that point, though she was a massive scorer, she was on a team that hadn’t yet taken down the best opponents. The Hawkeyes were 1-9 against...
