Marshall wins its
first College Cup 1-0
over Indiana in OT
CARY, N.C. (AP) — Jamil Roberts scored in the
98th minute and Marshall beat Indiana to win its
ﬁrst-ever College Cup championship 1-0 in overtime Monday night.
Marshall’s fans rushed the ﬁeld following Roberts’ game-winner. The Thundering Herd became
the ﬁrst unseeded team to win a national title
since Santa Clara in 2006.
“Not bad for a little school from West Virginia
with a bunch of internationals, eh?” Roberts said.
Indiana was making its 16th overall trip to the
championship game. The Hoosiers were trying for
their ninth title and ﬁrst since 2012.
Roberts, a native of England who was drafted by
Sporting Kansas City earlier this year, also scored
the lone goal — on Marshall’s only shot — in the
team’s semiﬁnal victory over North Carolina on
Friday. He ﬁnishes the season with ﬁve goals.
“There’s a moment to be enjoyed right now. I
don’t want to think to far ahead into the future,
and I don’t want to thing about the past four years.
I just want to live in this incredible moment,” Roberts said.
Marshall had eliminated top-seeded Clemson
on penalties and then downed Georgetown in the
quarterﬁnals.
Herbert Endeley scored in the 79th minute and
Indiana advanced to the championship with a 1-0
semiﬁnal victory over Pittsburgh on Friday night.
“We did everything we could to win that game.
It’s the hardest I’ve ever seen this team work,”
Indiana defender A.J. Palazzolo said. “We just
couldn’t ﬁnd the moment to get that goal. But we
had belief. They just had a little lucky goal there at
the end. But they’re a great side.”
The Thundering Herd peppered Indiana goalkeeper Roman Celentano, who made seven saves,
including his dive to deﬂect Vinicius Fernandes’
shot to the corner in the 23rd minute. Celentano
had 10 shutouts going into the ﬁnal.
Victor Bezzera’s free kick was stopped by Marshall goalkeeper Oliver Semmle in the 49the minute, but Indiana was offside. Semmle ﬁnished with
one save.
Roberts’ breakthrough goal came amid a
scramble in front of the net. Celentano stopped a
Marshall shot, but the ball came down and hit the
post, and Roberts popped it into the net.
“Luckily I’m in the right place at the right time,
and that’s what we train for,” Roberts said. “I make
that run 20-30 times in the game but it takes that
one time for the ball to drop, and as coach always

Associated Press

Bob Baffert was suspended Monday from
entering horses at New
York racetracks, pending an investigation into
Kentucky Derby winner
Medina Spirit’s failed postrace drug test.
Baffert will temporarily
not be allowed to stable
any horses at Belmont
Park, Aqueduct Racetrack
and Saratoga Race Course
or run any of his horses
at the New York Racing
Association’s tracks. That
ban includes races at
Belmont Park, with the
Belmont Stakes coming
up June 5.
“In order to maintain a
successful thoroughbred
racing industry in New
York, NYRA must protect the integrity of the
sport for our fans, the
betting public and racing participants,” NYRA
President and CEO Dave
O’Rourke said. “That
responsibility demands
the action taken today in
the best interests of thoroughbred racing.”
Baffert had not committed to entering any
horses in the third leg of
the Triple Crown but had
many in consideration for
other races on Belmont
Stakes day.
NYRA ofﬁcials say they
took into account Baffert’s previous penalties
in Kentucky, California
and Arkansas, along
with the current situation with Medina Spirit,
and expects to make a

ﬁnal determination about
the length and terms of
the suspension based in
information revealed by
Kentucky’s ongoing investigation.
Baffert’s attorney, Craig
Robertson, said in an
email to The Associated
Press that he is reviewing NYRA’s decision and
will discuss the situation
and legal options with his
client before their camp
makes any formal statement.
Kentucky Derby winner Medina Spirit tested
positive for the steroid
betamethasone in postrace testing and faces
disqualiﬁcation unless a
second test comes back
negative. Baffert on May
9 said 21 picograms of
the corticosteroid, which
can be used to help a
horse’s joints, showed up
in the blood sample.
Baffert a day later said
an ointment used to treat
Medina Spirit for a skin
condition daily up until
the Derby included the
substance. Even a trace
amount of betamethasone
in a horse’s system is not
allowed on race day in
Kentucky, Maryland and
New York.
Maryland ofﬁcials
required Medina Spirit
and Baffert-trained Preakness runner Concert Tour
and Black-Eyed Susan
entrant Beautiful Gift
undergo three rounds of
prerace testing before
they’d be allowed to run
last weekend at Pimlico.
All three passed and were
cleared to race.

Injuries to impact NBA postseason
By Brian Mahoney
Associated Press

The NBA playoffs
should be entertaining,
as they always are.
Just don’t count on the
basketball being as good
as usual.
Not after a truncated
season during which
the injuries were too
frequent, the practice
time too scarce, to allow
teams to peak for the
postseason.
“It’s been much more
devastating to culture
and to establishing
momentum for sure, for
all of us,” Spurs coach
Gregg Popovich said.
“And I deﬁnitely think
that, I hate to say it but
it’s the truth: There’s no
way it can be the best
basketball for all the
teams.”
LeBron James was a
spectator the night the
Lakers raised the banner
for the championship
they won last year, as
he was for most of the
second half of the season
because of an ankle injury. The Brooklyn Nets
assembled an explosive
Big Three of Kevin
Durant, James Harden
and Kyrie Irving, then
went three months in
between getting to play
them for the seventh and
eighth time.
The Utah Jazz won the
Western Conference, but
will have played for more
than a month without
All-Star Donovan Mitchell by the time he returns
from ankle injury.
Rusty or not, at least

those contenders have
their All-Stars. Denver
will play this postseason
without Jamal Murray,
who was sensational
in the bubble last year
while leading the Nuggets to the Western
Conference ﬁnals. The
Celtics made the East
ﬁnals, but now just getting from the play-in to
the playoffs might be
difﬁcult after the seasonending wrist surgery for
All-Star Jaylen Brown.
More than ever,
this postseason might
be more about being
healthy than being great.
The teams still playing
survived this historically
demanding NBA season, but nobody really
thrived.
“So, is the level of play
going to be the same in
these playoffs? I don’t
know, but you know
what, there is opportunity out there for teams,”
Chicago coach Billy
Donovan said.
Championship contenders like to use the
regular season to build a
team ready to roll once
it’s over. The Golden
State Warriors worked
themselves into a postseason powerhouse
that went 16-1 in 2017,
Durant’s ﬁrst season.
He’s unsure if anybody
can ﬁnd that type of
form now.
“I don’t know, but that
stuff does play a factor,
a long regular season,”
said Durant, who along
with Harden had lengthy
absences because of
hamstring injuries.

“It was just a different
year for everybody, getting used to the COVID
year, the traveling on
the road throughout
COVID, just everything,
the protocols. But I feel
like a lot of teams are
excited that they got
through this season and
a lot of teams are excited
that they head into the
playoffs healthy, so we’ll
see.”
The condensed
72-game schedule left
many teams limiting or
simply canceling practices so players could
recover from games.
Coronavirus protocols
kept them from bonding
off the court, not to mention hampered them on
it when players became
unavailable after testing
positive or coming into
contact with someone
who had.
It all contributed to
wrecking a Celtics team
that had championship
expectations but ﬁnished
.500. But coach Brad
Stevens predicts a quality postseason around
the league, with players
who missed time available to play and coaches
able to focus on scouting
reports instead of injury
reports.
“When we were in the
bubble, I thought it was
the highest level I’d ever
seen, just as far as like
intensity, effort, teams
again playing at just a
ridiculous level,” Stevens
said. “And I just think
the playoffs brings that
out of people every year,
and so I anticipate the

playoffs will be great.”
Popovich isn’t so sure.
He has spent a quarter
of a century developing
his teams to peak for the
playoffs, winning ﬁve
NBA championships.
But this team must
win twice in the play-in
tournament just to avoid
missing the postseason
for the second straight
year.
San Antonio had four
games postponed for
coronavirus reasons during its annual rodeo road
trip in February, when
so many previous Spurs
teams began hitting
their stride. Rescheduling them later in the
season changed normal
travel routines and
lineup considerations,
and league rules during
the pandemic prevented
team dinners that long
were as much a part of
Popovich’s team building
as the practice gym.
He sees all that was
lost and doesn’t believe
the impact ended when
the regular season did.
“You need the full season, or as much of it as
you can,” Popovich said.
“It can’t be squished
the way they’ve had
to squish it and with
all the COVID restrictions and things that
have happened to this
team and that team and
the other team, it just
changes the dynamics
for everybody. So, it’s
very difﬁcult, because of
COVID and the injuries,
to imagine that the basketball could be as good
as usual.”

Hendrick set to become NASCAR’s best
DOVER, Del. (AP)
— Hendrick Motorsports has a mission to
dethrone The King.
Just ask Kyle Larson.
Larson has spent mere
months on the job driving for Rick Hendrick,
and promptly learned
how seriously the team
owner took his passion
for catching Petty Enterprises — anchored,
of course, for years by
Richard Petty — on
NASCAR’s career list for
most wins by one organization in the Cup Series.
“He mentions it
almost every time I feel
like I talk to him,” Larson said.
Hendrick should feel
real chatty these days
after Alex Bowman won
Sunday at Dover and
Hendrick swept the top
four spots for the ﬁrst
time in team history. It
moved HMS’ Cup wins
total to 267, one shy of
Petty’s mark of 268.
Bowman has four
career wins on that
scorecard and Larson
added his ﬁrst earlier
this season. The list
is topped by Hall of
Famer Jeff Gordon, who
won 93 races and four
championships driving
for Hendrick. Jimmie
Johnson had 83 wins
and a record-tying seven
championships before
bolting for IndyCar.
NASCAR Hall of Famer
Terry Labonte added 12
wins.
There are 20 names
on the list. Five drivers
have one win for Hendrick and Chase Elliott

with 11 is the only other
driver to crack double
ﬁgures. Petty Enterprises, founded by Lee
Petty and last owned by
Richard, last competed
in 2008.
“I really tried not to
think about it until this
year,” the 71-year-old
Hendrick said. “This
year when everybody
started talking about it,
then I thought, man, this
is in reach.”
With Elliott, Larson,
Bowman and William
Byron in the stable, the
record is not only within
reach but Hendrick can
put Petty (196 of his
record 200 wins were for
Petty Enterprises) well
behind in the rearview
mirror.
“I just want to be the
guy that ties them and
beats them,” Bowman
said. “All four of us want
to be that guy. It’s cool to
put us one closer. I want
to be the guy that gets
those wins for Mr. H.”
NASCAR’s inner ownership circle boasts a
king, a captain (Roger
Penske) and a coach (Joe
Gibbs). At Hendrick, the
man who has called the
shots since 1984 is simply Mr. H.
Larson drives the
No. 5 for Hendrick, the
number he used when
Hendrick Motorsports
launched in 1984. Geoff
Bodine drove the No.
5 to three victories in
the 1984 season (seven
overall).
“I think a few years
back, I thought it would
be impossible,” Hendrick

said. “If you had told
me in 1984 that you’re
going to be here for this
long or that you had an
opportunity to win all
these races and championships, (I’d) kind of
pinch myself because it’s
just really hard to do.”
Hendrick’s drivers may
have made success look
easy on the track, but
the hardships have been
as much a part of his
story as the championships.
Already a car dealer,
Hendrick had a championship drag boat team
under his belt when he
launched with fewer
than 20 full-time employees and a small shop.
He became a technical
adviser for the Tom
Cruise movie “Days of
Thunder” and was one of
the four original owners
of the Charlotte Hornets.
He battled a rare form of
leukemia, pleaded guilty
to mail fraud and was
later pardoned by President Clinton. He was
struck by more tragedy
in 2004 when a plane
owned by Hendrick
Motorsports crashed. All
10 people aboard were
killed, including Hendrick’s son, brother and
twin nieces.
Yet, he guided and
grew his Hendrick
Motorsports team into
the dominant program in
NASCAR.
The lean years hit, and
Johnson failed to win a
race over his ﬁnal three
full seasons. Hendrick
failed to advance a driver
into the championship

round from 2017-19, a
stretch that included a
woeful 2018 season in
which Elliott accounted
for the only three wins
for the entire organization.
Elliott, though, delivered a championship to
Hendrick last season and
the momentum rolled
into this year: Bowman
has two wins, and Byron
and Larson each have
one. Bowman, who is
expected to sign a multiyear contract extension,
Larson and Byron are
under 30 years old.
“I think we are set for
a really good run here for
the next years, multiple
years,” Hendrick said. “I
like where we are.”
At Dover, Hendrick
joined Peter DePaolo
Racing (1956 at Titusville and 1957 at North
Wilkesboro) and Roush
Fenway Racing (2005
Homestead-Miami
Speedway) as the only
race teams to claim the
top four spots in a Cup
race.
Now it’s almost time
to catch The King — but
not without a tip of the
feathered cap to the one
who set the standard.
“I’ll say this about
Richard — nobody in
this sport has ever given
as much as he has,”
Hendrick said. “To see
him on pit road, see him
signing every autograph.
I’ve got one of his autographs when I couldn’t
get in the garage area
through the fence at
Martinsville. I know
what that feels like.”

Conservatives push big issues to fore at Supreme Court

WASHINGTON —
Abortion. Guns. Religion.
A Trump-fortiﬁed conservative majority is making
its presence felt at the

Supreme Court by quickly
wading into high-proﬁle
social issues that have
been a goal of the right
for decades.
For years, frustrated
conservatives, including

some justices, chided a
court with a majority of
Republican appointees
for not going far enough
or passing on issues they
thought demanded the
court’s attention.

Surgical Capabilities:

Now, with three appointees of former President
Donald Trump on the
nine-member court,
longer-serving conservative Justices Samuel Alito
and Clarence Thomas
can cobble together ﬁvejustice majorities even
without the vote of Chief
Justice John Roberts.
The Trump-appointed
justices represent “not
only a shift of ideology but a shift of power.
There are ﬁve justices to
right of Roberts,” said
Boston College law professor Kent Greenﬁeld.
“What that means is that
the chief is not in control
of the court anymore.”
In the seven months
since Justice Amy Coney
Barrett joined the court,
conservative majorities
have issued a series of
orders in favor of religious worshippers who
had challenged restrictions imposed because of
COVID-19.
Barrett provided the
ﬁfth vote in several cases.
Roberts has been unwilling to second guess elected ofﬁcials in these cases
and, prior to her death
in September, Ginsburg
also had voted to keep the
restrictions on religious
services in place.
Perhaps even more

will, in all likelihood,

Abortion. Guns. Religion. A Trump-fortified conservative majority
is making its presence felt at the Supreme Court by quickly wading
into high-profile social issues that have been a goal of the right for
decades. The justices announced Monday that they will hear an
abortion case that could undermine nearly 50 years of abortion
rights rulings and agreed last month to decide whether Americans
have a constitutional right to carry guns in public for self-defense.

come before the court
takes its long summer
break.
A decision to hear a
case takes just four votes
and is no guarantee of
its outcome. But on guns
and abortion in particular,
the court with a less-conservative lineup passed
up several opportunities
to wade in.
Thomas, the longestserving current justice,
has long complained
about his colleagues’
timidity on these topics.
For nearly 30 years, he
has called on the court
to overturn the landmark
Roe v. Wade decision that
extended abortion rights
across the country. He
was one of four justices
who would have overturned Roe in 1992, in his
ﬁrst term on the court.
Instead, a ﬁve-member
majority composed entirely of justices appointed
by Republican presidents
reafﬁrmed constitutional
protections for women
seeking abortions.
On guns, Thomas has
lamented that his colleagues treat the Second
Amendment “right to
keep and bear arms” as
a second-class right, a
phrase that Barrett herself
used when she was an
appeals court judge.
The court’s shift to the
right grows out of two
untimely deaths and one
crucial retirement.
It began ﬁve years ago,
when Justice Antonin

Scalia died suddenly
and Senate Republicans
refused to act on President Barack Obama’s
nomination of Merrick
Garland to take Scalia’s
seat. Had Garland, now
the attorney general,
been conﬁrmed, it would
have given the court a
majority appointed by
Democratic presidents
for the ﬁrst time in 50
years.
Instead, the seat
remained empty, Trump
shocked the world by
winning the presidency
and Justice Neil Gorsuch
joined the court in April
2017.
A year later the court’s
“swing vote,” Justice
Anthony Kennedy, retired
and Trump put Justice
Brett Kavanaugh in his
seat.
Kennedy’s retirement
essentially put Roberts at
the ideological, though
right-leaning, center of
the court, and the chief
justice has resisted public
perceptions of the court
as merely a political
institution. He has voted
with the liberal justices
to uphold the Obama era
health care law and strike
down a Louisiana abortion regulation.
But Ginsburg’s death,
which led to Barrett’s
conﬁrmation days before
the 2020 election, ended
a brief period in which
Roberts controlled how
far the court would go in
either direction.
