Mountain Cats milestone: Pitt-Johnstown rising sophomore Lucas Smith, of Lynden, Ontario, tied for first place in the Sunnehanna Amateur qualifier held Sunday and Monday.
Smith, whose 3-under 67 matched qualifier co-leader Zachary Radtke of Dublin, Ohio, was among six players who advanced to the 84th Sunnehanna Amateur.
According to Mountain Cats golf coach Cody Trabert, Smith made history as the first active or alumni player in Pitt-Johnstown history to qualify for the Sunnehanna Amateur. He shot a 4-over-par 74 in Wednesday's opening round.
'Lucas is coming off an impressive freshman season where he garnered PSAC freshman player of the year and also second team all-conference honors,' Trabert said in an email.

'He set a Pitt-Johnstown record for having the lowest freshman scoring average in program history and tied for fifth place individually at the PSAC championships in the fall.'
Smith played at Ancaster High School in Ontario before joining the Pitt-Johnstown program.
In Wednesday's first round, Smith had a challenging start, but recovered to shoot a respectable 74. He made bogey on No. 2 and had a double bogey on No. 3 before closing the front nine with another bogey to make the turn at 4-over 39.
On the back nine, Smith made birdies on 11 and 13, but had two more bogeys on 14 and 17.
Advancing through the 105-player Sunnehanna qualifier, which was extended a day due to wet weather, were Smith and Radtke as co-medalists; and a four-way tie for third place among Tyler Sabo, of Ashland, Ohio; Adam Horn, of Cincinnati; Ashton McArthur, of Rexburg, Indiana; and Areen Aggarwal, of Columbia, Missouri.

Streamers Cash Nasty And Tylil Brought To Tears After Meeting LeBron James Thanks To Kai Cenat originally appeared on Fadeaway World. In one of the most wholesome moments the streaming world has seen in 2025, streamers CashNasty and Tylil were brought to tears after meeting their childhood idol, LeBron James, a dream made possible by none other than Kai Cenat. The emotional meeting took place just before Fanatics Fest 2025, where LeBron was scheduled to appear alongside other sports icons like Tom Brady, Victor Wembanyama, and Maverick Carter. The NBA legend was also slated to make a surprise appearance on Kai Cenat's Twitch stream, an announcement that had already sent fans into a frenzy. But what followed before the cameras even rolled would end up being one of the most memorable moments of the event. Kai Cenat, known for hosting massive names on his stream from Kevin Hart to John Cena was already mingling behind the scenes when he, CashNasty, and Tylil spotted LeBron James from a distance. Standing beside him was his mother, Gloria James, and longtime agent Rich Paul, who had previously appeared on Kai's stream. That's when Kai and his fellow streamers decided to shoot their shot. Kai Cenat talked to Rich Paul and asked if they could meet LeBron personally. Without hesitation, Rich gave them the green light and led them straight to the King himself. First, Kai was introduced, and soon after, he brought forward his visibly starstruck friends, CashNasty and Tylil, to meet LeBron. For the two streamers, who have been lifelong fans of James, the moment was surreal. They were ecstatic, shaking hands, hugging, and dapping up the four-time NBA champion. They chatted with him, laughed, and even managed to get autographs something both of them said they would treasure forever. After the emotional high of the encounter, the trio made their way backstage. That's when it hit. Both Cash and Tylil were overwhelmed with emotion, breaking down into tears. For two fans who had grown up watching LeBron dominate the league and change the game, finally meeting him in person and having a genuine interaction was a full-circle moment. And they had Kai Cenat to thank. The moment quickly began circulating across social media, with fans praising Kai for not only making the dream happen but also for handling it with sincerity and class. It showed another side to the streaming world, one of real, raw emotion and shared joy. With over 18 million Twitch followers and counting, Kai Cenat continues to redefine the possibilities of content creation. And by helping two of his fellow streamers meet their hero, he reminded the world what fanhood and friendship are all story was originally reported by Fadeaway World on Jun 21, 2025, where it first appeared.

NBA Finals Game 7: LeBron James, others react after Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton's early Achilles injury
Tyrese Haliburton's right leg gave out just minutes into Game 7 on Sunday night, and he had to be helped off the floor. () The NBA world was thrilled to get a rare Game 7 in the NBA Finals. But just minutes into that contest between the Indiana Pacers and the Oklahoma City Thunder on Sunday night, everything shifted. Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton went crashing down to the court during the first quarter, appearing to re-injure his strained right calf during a non-contact moment. He immediately started pounding the floor at the Paycom Center, too, and was extremely emotional as play went the other way. The Pacers quickly ruled him out just a few minutes later with what they called a right "lower leg injury." Further specifics are not known, though Haliburton's father confirmed to ESPN that it is an Achilles injury. Advertisement Almost immediately, players from across the league chimed in on social media. Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James shared what most of basketball fans were feeling in a very not-safe-for-work way. He was far from alone. Even Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes chimed in. Haliburton first went down with the calf injury during Game 5 of the series, though he returned to the court for the Pacers' Game 6 win on Thursday. He had 14 points and five assists in that 108-91 win, which forced Sunday's Game 7. Haliburton was off to a great start on Sunday night, too. He had nine points and went 3-of-4 from the 3-point line before he went down to keep the Pacers in the mix early. Advertisement The Pacers are playing in the NBA Finals for the first time since 2000. The franchise, though they have three ABA titles from before the merger, has never won a league title. While Haliburton's injury doesn't end that quest completely, it does make it that much harder. This post will be updated with more information.
