Some uncertainty remains on timing for the high school winter sports season. Whenever the ball is tipped in boys basketball, it will mark the beginning of a new challenge for Narragansett.
Antwan Walker pulled down an offensive rebound and went back up with it. His putback was off the mark, but teammate Malik Martin grabbed the miss. When his own follow got blocked Martin scratched for another rebound. Walker then went to the floor to trigger a jump ball after a missed 3-point…
Leave it to one of the best athletes in South Kingstown High School history, a member of the class of 2020, to sum up the mix of heartbreak and perspective that defined sports for much of 2020.
CRANSTON — A season that brought a lot of happiness ended one step short of the happiest ending for the South Kingstown High School field hockey team.
JOHNSTON — The Narragansett girls soccer team’s season began and ended with 3-1 losses to Toll Gate.
JOHNSTON — Another hard-to-believe championship drought is over.
PROVIDENCE – Remember Friday, Dec. 11 as the target date for R.I. high school winter sports teams to begin practicing?
JOHNSTON — It was a long road to the championship game for the Narragansett High School boys soccer team, and not just because the game was held well north of the tower.
There weren't any former URI football players competing in the NFL in Week 1 or 2, but it’s almost a certainty you’ll see some Rams hit the gridiron at some point this season. Five players who spent time in Kingston either made an NFL roster or practice squad in the run-up to the 2020 season.
Everything is in place for the URI men’s and women’s basketball teams for their 2020-21 seasons. From rosters to schedules, both Ram squads are ready to hit the ground running. Now they just have to hope that there is a 2020 season.
Jim Norman, who passed on July 28 at 85, was fondly remembered this week as the “Voice of the Rams.”
There was a shoe-shaped shadow above fall sports at URI, and last Friday, it finally dropped. Both the Atlantic 10 and CAA conferences made moves to, at the very least, postpone their seasons to next year, if not outright cancel them.
Amidst the madness of the pandemic, you will find an oasis of sanity at the local shooting range. Say what? At the shooting range?

KINGSTON – The No. 3 Dayton Flyers dominated the URI men’s basketball team on Wednesday night. The lopsidedness of the Atlantic 10 meeting can’t be better illustrated then by consecutive plays in the second half: first, player of the year candidate Obi Toppin threw down a vicious windmill du…

Colby Corson hit the shot of the year on Monday night. With his Narragansett Mariners trailing Pilgrim by three points, Corson rebounded a missed free throw and somehow connected on a one-handed full-court heave to tie the game. The Mariners would go on to win in OT, 83-78. Corson had 31 poi…
