Soccer fields destroyed in act of vandalism at southwest Austin park

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:20:50 GMT

AUSTIN (KXAN) -- J. Bouldin started his Monday morning walking out onto a muddy, unlevel field to survey the damage that had been done over the weekend. The mangled piece of land used to be lush with grass and hold four soccer fields for the Lonestar Soccer Club, a local youth soccer organization. Now, the field is unusable for the rest of the season. "It's a tragedy," Bouldin, the field manager for the soccer club, said while looking out at the mud. The soccer fields at Circle C Ranch Metro park were the target of vandalism over the weekend. Someone, or a group of people, had moved limestone boulders and railroad ties that surround the park to get their car onto the field. The mixture of heavy rainfall and an erratic driver resulted in a destroyed field with muddy tire tracks weaving throughout the field.

Broncos mailbag: Should Denver be interested in Austin Ekeler? And what’s up at center?

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:20:50 GMT

Denver Post Broncos writer Parker Gabriel posts his Broncos Mailbag periodically during the offseason. Click here to submit a question.With the contractual drama between former Western Colorado Mountaineer, Austin Ekeler, and the San Diego Chargers, what are the chances that the Broncos bid high for his services in 2024? From Marshall Faulk and Tiki Barber to Darren Sproles and Alvin Kamara, I think Ekeler fits the perfect mold for a Sean Payton type of RB. He’s arguably responsible for the evolution of the dual threat RB.— Jamal Rucker, Portsmouth, Va.Hey Jamal, thanks for writing in.First, you’re on the right track in terms of 2024 as the timing element for this question. Ekeler has made it pretty clear he wants a raise, a trade or both. At this point, what incentive does Los Angeles have to move him? Even if they do end up trading him, it probably won’t be to a draft capital-poor division rival.Now, 2024? Never say never. That’s a long way away in football timing. Cap...

Broncos draft preview: Starting-caliber RBs are regularly found on Day 3. Can Denver nab one?

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:20:50 GMT

Editor’s note: Second of a series of NFL draft previews as it relates to the Broncos. Monday: Quarterbacks. Today: Running backs.Broncos’ in-house offseason moves: Signed Samaje Prine (two years, $7.5 million) and Tony Jones Jr. (one year).Under contract: Javonte Williams (two years), Perine (two years), Jones Jr. (one year), Tyler Badie (one year), Damarea Crockett (one year), Tyreik McAllister (one year).Need scale (1-10): 6. The Broncos have been active in free agency, but the roster numbers are still a bit deceiving. Williams (knee) is no sure bet to be back by Week 1. Badie flashed late in the year, but there aren’t many sure bets beyond Perine. Starting-caliber players can be found on Day 3 at running back, and the Broncos would do well to find one in 2023 or, at the latest, 2024.Top Five1. Bijan Robinson, Texas: Universally regarded among the most talented players in the draft and almost a sure bet to be the first back off the board. He’s been a highlight reel machine s...
