KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Dee Williams returned a punt 39 yards for a touchdown in the third quarter to put No. 19 Tennessee ahead for the first time and the Volunteers shut down Texas A&M the rest of the way in a 20-13 victory Saturday.“That’s something I’ve worked hard for all season,” Williams said. “My job is to always stay ready.”Vols punter Jackson Ross backed up the Aggies to the 1 — with Williams keeping the ball from going into the end zone. The Vols defense followed with a three-and-out setting up Williams for the pivotal return.“Dee's punt return changed the game,” Tennessee coach Josh Heupel said. “We had 10 guys competing their butts off to get him into the end zone. It was a huge turning point.”Jaylen Wright rushed for 136 yards for the Volunteers (5-1, 2-1 Southeastern Conference).

SAN FRANCISCO – Mikatoa Scanlan was exhausted, spending the time in between plays huffing air with hands on hips. But with Archbishop Riordan needing a stop, the beefy 280-pound defensive tackle jumped in front of and intercepted a screen pass to end Archbishop Mitty’s potential game-tying drive late in the fourth quarter. Riordan’s offense scored the insurance touchdown two plays later to clinch the West Catholic Athletic League victory.In a game where Archbishop Riordan and Archbishop Mitty spent 48 minutes making play after play after play, trading touchdowns on Riordan’s senior day, it was only fitting that a Crusader senior was the one who clinched the San Francisco school’s 56-42 win. “Even though we gave up a lot of points in the first half, we still fought to the end of the game,” Scanlan said.

California will soon be home to a task force dedicated to fentanyl overdose prevention. School districts will need to think through body shaming, and prepare policies on how to prevent it. And community colleges will be required to provide in-state tuition for some in Mexico, including low-income students that live less than 45 miles from California’s border.Those were among 100 new measures Gov. Gavin Newsom signed into law Friday, working through the last of a stack of 1,046 bills sent to his desk from the legislature dominated by his fellow Democrats.In his final day of bill signings Friday — the deadline was midnight Saturday — Newsom vetoed just two bills, for a total of 890 signed and 156 vetoed in 2023. That’s a slight uptick in rejecting proposed legislation that reflects both his concerns about the state’s finances in an uncertain economy, as well as his national political ambitions.“Newsom has been put in a position of serving as the leg...High school football: Serra rolls through Bellarmine, extends WCAL win streak to 11
