AURORA – With one of the state’s best players and two highly-touted freshmen, Smoky Hill’s window to win its first boys basketball crown is wide open. The Buffaloes have yet to lose in the state of Colorado behind the play of senior Rickey Mitchell Jr., who leads Class 6A at 26.6 points per game. And beyond Mitchell, Smoky Hill features towering freshmen Kai McGrew (6-foot-8) and Carter Basquez (6-5), both of whom are already drawing Division I interest.

But Ms Dobbin, who reached the 200m semi-finals in Tokyo 2020, said that women 'deserve to compete exclusively against competitors who don't have any of the advantages that the female category exists to … [Read more...] about Team GB Olympic runners join revolt over plans that could mean competing against transgender women
