NT government sued over 44yo mother's death in police watch house — and more

The family of a woman who died in police custody in Tennant Creek is suing the Northern Territory government for negligence, alleging officers failed in their duty of care after her arrest and that the 44-year-old was held in an "overheated" cell.

Here’s a recap of Tuesday’s 2A semifinals at UVU, with No. 1 Kanab advancing to the semis. This story will be updated.

Kanab 48, North Summit 33

Any team that’s had to play Kanab this year has had to ask itself, “What are we going to do about Rylee Little?“ That question is a lot easier to answer in theory than in practice, as the 6-foot-4 Utah commit stands as one of the top recruits in the state.

North Summit attempted to pack the paint and double Little when possible. That strategy kept it close for a half, but Kanab’s dominance won out in a 48-33 semifinal win.

North Summit took a brief three-point lead late in the second quarter. The Braves played in a zone and doubled Little when they could.

While Kanab was holding its own on the boards, Little went off the court because of foul trouble. However, a three-point play from Kaycee Castagno kept it tied at halftime. Castagno ended with 14 points and five steals.

“Taylin (Kelly) and Kaycee Castagno stepped up," said Kanab head coach Klint Glover. “Kaycee never quit. She got the and-one at halftime, and that’s what we were hoping with Riley in foul trouble. We wanted to go even at halftime and win it in the second half.”

Holding out through the first half was successful for Kanab as Little dominated the second half both offensively and defensively. Kanab also started more aggressively attacking the high post to break through the zone.

“We put a guard in the high post in the second half and Jaydee Houston picked up where she left off," Glover said. “We kind of hurt them there, but they’re well coached. They knew what they had to stop and they did a good job.”

She used her length to her advantage to pull in 21 rebounds, 11 of which were offensive. Little protected the paint with five blocks and four steals. North Summit shot just 27% from the field.

Offensively, Little led Kanab with 17 points. The Cowboys quickly pulled the game out of reach with a 6-0 run to start the third quarter and an 8-0 run in the fourth. Kanab outscored North Summit 27-12 in the second half.

“She’s special, not just as a basketball player, but she’s unique in so many ways, uniquely good,” Glover said. “She mothers these kids and is so positive with them, about as good as I’ve ever seen. She really has a lot of patience, and yet she has a lot of fight in her too.”

NFL Combine tracker: 3 safeties the Browns must watch (who aren't Caleb Downs) originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.

While the hype surrounding Caleb Downs is reaching a fever pitch in Indianapolis, can the Browns front office really afford to draft him with their sixth overall pick? With so many needs at offensive line and wide receiver, grabbing Downs is a “nice to have” that Cleveland can’t justify.

One area lacking on the club’s stellar defense has been a true ballhawk at safety. Grant Delpit is more of a thumper who’s at his best creeping closer to the line of scrimmage. This week’s NFL Scouting Combine is the perfect stage to hunt for that center fielder who can create turnovers. 

Here are three ballhawking prospects who might not have the "Downs" name brand yet, but possess the upside traits that GM Andrew Berry can target after Day 1 in April’s draft.

1. Dillon Thieneman (Oregon) - 6’0”, 205-lbs

Projected Round: Early 2nd

• Pros: A hyper-productive "stat-sheet stuffer" with elite range. He finished his college career with eight interceptions and over 300 tackles, showing a rare ability to play the "centerfield" role while also flying downhill to erase screens.
• Con: He lacks "thumper" physicality; he’s a wrap-up tackler who can struggle to halt the momentum of larger power backs in the hole.

2. Bud Clark (TCU) - 6’1”, 185-lbs

Projected Round: 3rd – 4th

• Pros: A pure takeaway artist with 15 career interceptions. Clark is a long, rangy playmaker who dominated Senior Bowl practices by high-pointing the ball and showing elite recovery speed in man coverage.
• Con: His frame is notably thin, which raises concerns about his durability and "stopping power" when tasked with defending the run in a physical division.

3. Bishop Fitzgerald (USC) - 5’10”, 205-lbs 

Projected Round: 4th – 5th

• Pros: An All-American with a quarterback’s brain that is always hunting for the ball. His "checkmate" instincts allowed him to rack up 10-interceptions and 14-passes defended over the last three seasons, utilizing upper echelon pattern recognition to jump routes before the receiver breaks.
• Con: Measured at 5'10", he lacks the prototypical height and length of an NFL free safety, which can lead to him getting out-muscled by "box-out" tight ends.

Adding one of these turnover creators, along with Delpit and re-signing Ronnie Hickman, would give the Browns versatility and depth at safety that they haven’t seen in a long time.
