FORT LAUDERDALE — Luis Suárez scored 30 seconds into the match and again in the sixth minute and that was all goalkeeper Drake Callender needed as Inter Miami beat FC Cincinnati 2-0 on Saturday night to become the first team this season to clinch a spot in the playoffs. Inter Miami (17-4-5) avenged a 6-1 drubbing in Cincinnati earlier this season and moved eight points ahead of second-place Cincinnati (15-8-3) in the Eastern Conference and in the Supporters’ Shield race. Rookie defender Marcelo Weigandt picked up his first career assist and fellow rookie defender Yaniick Bright notched his...

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on August 24, 2024. Posted in Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, Miami Marlins, MLB, Sports.

MIAMI — Pete Crow-Armstrong hit an inside-the-park home run and the Chicago Cubs beat the Miami Marlins 6-3 on Friday night.

Hyde5: Skylar Thompson, rookie Washington have good nights; Dolphins receivers get even more banged up vs. Bucs

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on August 24, 2024. Posted in Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, Miami Dolphins, NFL, Sports.

Miami Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel said he wanted to put the backup quarterbacks Mike White and Skylar Thompson in “adverse situations” to judge them. I’m not sure how that factors into Thompson looking like the better quarterback Friday night in the preseason finale against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and seemingly to finish grabbing the job. Thompson’s stats Friday through three quarters: 15 of 18 for 149 yards and a touchdown. That’s the best preseason performance for either quarterback this summer. The only way it could not be Thompson’s job is how this “adverse situation” factors in....

MIAMI — Lourdes Gurriel Jr. drove in four runs, including a go-ahead, pinch-hit three-run double in the seventh inning, and the Arizona Diamondbacks rallied to beat the Miami Marlins 10-8 on Wednesday night. Jake McCarthy and Geraldo Perdomo homered for the Diamondbacks, who swept the three-game series and are a major league best 31-13 since July 1. “It seems like someone steps up every night,” McCarthy said. “There is a belief here that if we’re out of it late, we’re not really out of it. I just think 1 through 9, no matter how the lineup shaped out, we put something good together every...

Broward school metal detectors working but challenges continue, board members say

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on August 22, 2024. Posted in Education, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, News.

A week after a chaotic rollout of metal detectors, Broward Schools are still working out the kinks. Although most students can quickly walk through the metal detectors without them going off, the devices still require a lot of security staff, preventing them from manning other parts of campus, school district officials said during Wednesday’s School Board meeting. They also said they are still working out plans of what to do when thunderstorms or other inclement weather make it impractical for students to wait outside in line. And one School Board member said she’s hearing concerns from...
