Caitlin Clark continues to earn praise off the court. Fans discovered she donated $2,000 to a fundraiser for a late Indiana Fever supporter. The gesture quickly spread across social media.

Jessica Schoffel passed away in July. She was a dedicated Fever fan known online as @FeverBandwagon. Friends and family created a GoFundMe in her memory.

"Jessica Schoffel (October 8, 1981 – July 17, 2026) of Acton, MA grew up in Trumansburg, graduated from Charles O. Dickerson High School in 1999 and was a beloved elementary school teacher in Littleton, MA. As a kindergarten student, she joined her parents, Linda and Rob, in the original Trumansburg Community Playground build," the fundraiser reads.

"In memory of Jessica, we will donate buddy bench(s) to the Trumansburg Playground. A buddy bench is designed to help kids combat isolation and bullying, encourages students to practice empathy and to invite their peers to join in play, goals which were always a priority in Jessica's classroom. We will also donate children's books about the concept of buddy benches for teachers to use in their classrooms."

Schoffel grew up in Trumansburg and later worked as an elementary school teacher. The fundraiser notes she joined her parents in the original playground built when she was a kindergarten student. Her classroom priorities aligned with the goals of the buddy bench project.

Clark has not publicly commented on the donation. Even though she didn't make a lot from it, fans still found out about her classy gesture.

This is not the first time Clark has given back. Earlier this year, she donated $50,000 to Peyton Manning Children's Hospital at Ascension St. Vincent. Fans regularly point to her willingness to support causes connected to the community.

The Indiana Fever star remains sidelined until Saturday. Her off-court actions continue to draw positive attention. The donation provides a tangible way to honor a fan who supported the team.

Caitlin Clark's gesture offers a reminder of the impact players can have beyond the game.

One of the state’s top prep boys basketball stars is taking his talents to Florida for his final high school season.

Milwaukee Juneau standout Dooney Johnson announced on Instagram he will play at East River High School in Orlando, Florida.

Johnson, who has committed to Gonzaga University, led Juneau to the WIAA Division 4 state title last March.

“DEAR MILWAUKEE … THANK YOU. NOW IT’S TIME FOR THE NEXT CHAPTER,” Johnson wrote on his Instagram page.

Johnson, a 6-foot-6 guard, was the Milwaukee City Conference Blue player of the year as a junior and was also named to the Wisconsin Basketball Coaches Association D4 all-state team.

In the state semifinal against Regis, Johnson scored six points in the first half before erupting for 21 after halftime to lead a 72-54 win that clinched a spot in the championship game. In the title win over Cambridge, Johnson had 23 points, seven rebounds, four blocks and two assists in a 62-54 victory.

Before his commitment to Gonzaga, Johnson was being recruited by Cincinnati, Indiana, LSU, Marquette, Nebraska, Southern Methodist, Washington and Wisconsin among others.

Seahawks receiver Tory Horton's promising rookie year ended with surgery to repair a fractured shin.

He's currently absent from practice. Coach Mike Macdonald was asked about it during a Friday press conference.

“He’s still working through his stuff," Macdonald said. "He’s going to be out for a period of time."

Asked what was up with Horton, Macdonald smiled and said, "Sorry, I just don't want to tell you."

One of the basic realities of training camp and the preseason is that teams have no obligation to say anything about injuries. That obligation doesn't attach until the days before the first game of the regular season.

Until the NFL changes the rules regarding injury information in August, no team will be required to say anything about the health status of players, until September.

ODESSA, Texas (KMID/KPEJ) - The Compass Cougars are coming off a 9-2 season, but they know the road to another successful year will be tougher in 2026.

Compass enters a new district with a more challenging schedule, giving the Cougars another opportunity to build on the progress they've made under third-year head coach Boe Smith.

Smith has watched the program grow since taking over, and he said the players' work ethic has been a major part of that progress.

“You see the facilities, but they never make any excuses,” Smith said. “To them, that's just their home, and they show up every day, they work hard, they play for one another, and that's all you can ask for in a team.”

The Cougars will also benefit from continuity on both sides of the ball. Compass is moving to a run-pass-option (RPO) system on offense, while the current group will run the same offense and defense for the first time in four years.

Smith said that familiarity should allow the Cougars to focus more on the small details that can make a difference on Friday nights.

“It's the execution of it. It's the understanding of it, fitting where you're supposed to when you call an offense,” Smith said. “It's knowing where that sixth step is instead of five, and attention to detail. So, those are real big things for us this year.”

Senior captains Kasen Smart and Remington Hinesly will be among the leaders for the Cougars this season.

Hinesly said the offense has the potential to be more dangerous this year, particularly with an improved wide receiver group.

“I feel like we have a better wide receiver core and we can kind of air the ball out more,” Hinesly said. “We feel like we can really get the ball moving this year.”

Defensively, Hinesly believes Compass has the talent to make life difficult for opposing offenses.

“I feel like we have the best defense we've ever had and we have an elite linebacker core and defensive backs,” Hinesly said. “So I feel like it's gonna be really hard to run the ball on us and our DBs are gonna make sure they can't throw.”

Smith said the Cougars will also expand their defensive approach, adding more coverage and blitz packages as the players become more comfortable in the system.

With a tougher schedule ahead, Compass knows it will have to be ready early.

For Hinesly, who is entering his senior season, the goal is clear: make the playoffs and make the most of the final season with his teammates.

“I want to play to the best of my ability, and I want to be able to help our team grow, not only on the team, but as brothers and as family,” Hinesly said.

The Cougars open the 2026 season against Crane, giving Smart an early opportunity for revenge after the Golden Cranes ended his season a year ago.

Compass will look to build on last year's success with an even deeper playoff run in a new, more competitive district.

Dave Campbell’s Texas High School Football Magazine predicts the Cougars to place fifth in District 2-3A Division I.

Compass kicks off the season on August 28 on the road against the Crane Golden Cranes.
