Alabama knocks off No. 1 Georgia for SEC title

ATLANTA  — Alabama is again the top dog in the Southeastern Conference — and perhaps headed to the College Football Playoff — after ending Georgia’s 29-game winning streak with a 27-24 victory over the No. 1 Bulldogs in the Southeastern Conference championship game Saturday. Now the big question: Is Georgia’s bid for a third straight national title over? Iron Bowl hero Jalen Milroe threw a pair of touchdown passes and No. 8 Alabama’s defense dominated much of the way after giving up a score on Georgia’s opening possession — a compelling playoff statement for a Crimson Tide team that lost at...

Can the Hurricanes flip Chaminade-Madonna stars Jeremiah Smith, Cedrick Bailey?

Chaminade-Madonna’s 47-7 win over Miami Archbishop Carroll in the Class 1M state semifinals on Friday may have been Jeremiah Smith’s last home game in South Florida. Unless Mario Cristobal has anything to say about it. The Hurricanes are still persistently recruiting the nation’s No. 1 prospect in the final weeks before the Early Signing Period, which begins on Dec. 20, hoping to get him to flip his commitment from Ohio State to the hometown program, which already has commitments from two of his teammates, Joshisa Trader and Zaquan Patterson. Miami is making a late push for Smith and his teammate,...

FSU QB Tate Rodemaker’s status uncertain

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Already down star quarterback Jordan Travis, Florida State might be without his successor, too, when the No. 4 Seminoles play No. 15 Louisville in Saturday’s ACC championship. Tate Rodemaker will be a game-time decision, the Seminoles said Friday, opening the possibility that true freshman Brock Glenn could start. Rodemaker took a hit to the head on a targeting penalty in the second half of last week’s win at Florida. Coach Mike Norvell said during Friday’s ACC championship game news conference that Rodemaker was evaluated on the sideline and cleared to return. On Sunday, Rodemaker...

By ALANNA DURKIN RICHER and ERIC TUCKER (Associated Press) WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump is not immune from prosecution in his election interference case in Washington, a federal judge ruled Friday, knocking down the Republican’s bid to derail the case charging him with plotting to overturn the 2020 presidential election. U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan’s decision amounts to a sharp rejection to challenges the Trump defense team had raised to the four-count indictment in advance of a trial expected to center on the Republican’s multi-pronged efforts to undo the election won by Democrat Joe...

No. 13 Florida Atlantic, led by Martin’s 20 points, cruises and hands Liberty its first loss of the season

BOCA RATON — Alijah Martin scored 20 points and Vlad Goldin added 18 points and seven rebounds as No. 13 Florida Atlantic cruised past Liberty 83-58 on Thursday night in the opening game of the Field of 68 Tipoff Classic.

Chris Perkins: Dolphins are winning and having fun, and coach Mike McDaniel is a big reason for both

MIAMI GARDENS — The Dolphins lead the league in offense, points, and fun. Yeah, you read that one correctly. Fun. In short, the first-place Dolphins (8-3) are mixing business with pleasure in a way that’s hardly ever seen in the NFL. They’re always laughing and joking and smiling. “I feel like we have more fun than any other team in the NFL from meeting with a couple of guys on different teams and asking around and talking,” running back Jeff Wilson Jr. said. “I’m not going to put any names out there, but I feel we have one of the most fun teams to be on. “But we’re still about business. Don’t...

Families are complicated, composed of people who may have little in common but bloodlines, sometimes weighted down by secrets, lies, myths. Add to that mix a horrific event, so horrible it’s hard to wrap one’s mind around, and the complications grow. Family dynamics are the foundation of the deeply moving, highly effective “The Berlin Diaries,” receiving a first-rate production through Sunday, Dec. 10, at Theatre Lab, on the campus of Boca Raton’s Florida Atlantic University. “The Berlin Diaries” is an autobiographical play written by Andrea Stolowitz, who began working on the piece several...
