Ohio State football names summer workout 'Dudes of the Week' for June 18
Ohio State football names summer workout 'Dudes of the Week' for June 18 We continue to get closer and closer to the start of the college football season (73 days for Ohio State fans, but who's counting?), but in the meantime, the Ohio State football team continues to go through summer workouts as it prepares to open up fall camp on July 31. (Reminder: The first three fall camp sessions are open to the public via ticket purchase). There's not a whole lot of news coming from the Woody Hayes Athletic Facilities, but we have seen some highlights of the program's fun "June Olympics," between the staff and players, and we get a feel for which players are performing the best in summer workouts when the program announces its "Dudes of the Week." We're not sure what goes into that, but the OSU Football Creative Team just announced the three guys recognized for this week. That trio is safety Caleb Downs, center Carson Hinzman, and linebacker Payton Pierce. There's not a whole lot of fanfare with these nominations or announcements, but you can bet these three are carrying themselves like leaders, working hard, and providing a great example for the rest of the team. There's still a few more weeks before fall camp opens, and there's no schedule of how long the program will recognize guys for this, but as they do, we'll bring it to you so we can all get an idea of who is impressing the coaches and peers during workouts.

The Scottish seaside hidden gem village that was crowned 'most picturesque'
The Daily Record is back with our first Village of the Week of June. Each week, we look across Scotland for a town or village that is truly special, and for the first of the summer season we have chosen a destination unlike any other. St Abbs is a small fishing village located near Eyemouth along the Berwickshire coast. The Scottish Borders village was first known as Coldingham Shore, before its name was changed during the 1890s. As reported by the Daily Record, the village was previously crowned the "most picturesque" village in Scotland. Photography experts at ParrotPrint also named the destination as among the most scenic in the whole of the UK. St Abbs is most famous for its dramatic coastal scenery and magnificent cliff-top views. It features idyllic fishermen's cottages, while its pristine waters provide the perfect backdrop for beautiful photographs. The village is situated near the St Abbs Head National Nature Reserve, which consists of around 200 acres. The reserve is famous for its seabird colonies, with guillemots, kittiwakes, razorbills, and many more calling it home. In addition to the St Abbs Head National Nature Reserve, other top beauty spots in the area include St Abbs Harbour and the St Abbs Head Lighthouse. The former hosts the weekly St Abbs Market on Fridays where visitors can pick up artisan goods and homemade treats, while the St Abbs Head Lighthouse dates back to the 19th century. St Abbs is also known for its connections to Hollywood, with the village being used as a filming location for both blockbuster movies and music videos. It can be seen as New Asgard in the 2019 film Avengers: Endgame, as well as Harry Styles' video for his 2019 single 'Adore You'. Meanwhile, when it comes to food, one of the best eateries in the village is Ebbcarrs Cafe. Here, customers can enjoy everything from local seafood to sandwiches and baked treats. Keep reading for a few photographs showcasing some of St Abbs' highlights. For additional travel inspiration, a selection of the Daily Record's past Towns and Villages of the Week can be found here:

Portland High's Mia Humphrey named The Tennessean Student of the Week; program pauses for summer break
One teen came out on top in a neck-and-neck race for best speech and debate student in Middle Tennessee. More: Greenbrier's Aidan Raymer tops close Student of the Week poll for esports, STEM, robotics More: Riverdale's Danielle Clark named The Tennessean Criminal justice Student of the Week Portland High School senior Mia Humphrey and Davidson Academy senior Harrison Massey battled for the accolade, sharing 47,824 votes of the total 48,908 votes cast this week. Humphrey ultimately pulled ahead, raking in 25,628 votes. Massey earned 22,196 votes. School officials nominated Humphrey for being a "true leader and role model who consistently demonstrates excellence in all she does". The teen is a two-time district champion, a state champion and two-time national qualifier for the Tennessee High School Speech and Drama League - a first for the school, Portland High School Speech Communications/Sociology Teacher and Head Speech Team Coach Linda Starnes said. She's a dual-sport athlete in soccer and basketball, ranks in the top 10% of her graduating class and is a recipient of the Speech Communication Departmental Award. Davidson Academy senior Harrison Massey earned a top spot alongside other Middle Tennessee student nominations by recently winning the TV Newscasting category at the Tennessee High School Speech and Drama League State Tournament for the fourth consecutive year. 'To my knowledge, that has never been done before,' Davidson Academy Speech Communications and Film Appreciation Teacher Mickey Hutson said. In The Tennessean's final Student of the Week feature for the 2024-2025 school year, young speakers took the stage. Six names were submitted for this week's poll. Student of the Week nominations are submitted to The Tennessean each week by principals, teachers, administrators and staffers at participating Tennessee high schools. The Tennessean will be pausing its student feature for several weeks due to summer break, but we have plans for some exciting summer features. Curious? Look for at least three new polls to launch during the summer ahead of our regular weekly feature, which will resume at the beginning of the 2025-26 school year. Until then, let's take a closer look at this week's student nominees and what makes them all stand out: James Lawson High School officials say rising senior and upcoming captain of the school's debate team Abbie DeWeese lends a helping hand to her educators and peers. 'She has been incredibly helpful to not only me, but also to the novice debaters,' James Lawson High School Varsity Debate Coach and English Teacher Amanda Clarke said. 'She runs our practices, checks in with the new debaters at our tournaments in between rounds, she's always willing to lend a helping hand, and she works tirelessly on learning the material and preparing for her own debate rounds,' Clarke said. DeWeese also consistently places in the top speaker and team awards at tournaments. Portland High School senior Mia Humphrey was nominated by school officials for being a "true leader and role model who consistently demonstrates excellence in all she does". Humphrey has served as a member of the speech team for three years. She was vice-president her junior year and president in her senior year. Portland High School Principal David Woods says Humphrey earned first place in every competition she entered this year, a product of her talent, preparation and drive. 'Mia Humphrey is the embodiment of what we at Portland High School celebrate in our students: achievement, integrity, leadership and a drive,' Woods said. 'As President of the Speech Team, Mia has inspired her teammates through her dedication, positivity and ability to lead by example.' Woods says Humphrey is a two-time district champion, a state champion and two-time national qualifier for the Tennessee High School Speech and Drama League, securing the school's first ever two-time national qualifier. 'In her role as a competitive speaker, Mia has honed invaluable life skills, confidence, persuasion, and critical thinking (that) not only serve her in competition but have also made her a powerful communicator in the classroom and beyond,' he said. 'Through countless hours of research, writing, and performance, she has learned to analyze topics, communicate with clarity and impact and stand tall in high-pressure situations.' Humphrey ranks in the top 10% of her graduating class and is a recipient of the Speech Communication Departmental Award. She's also a dual-sport athlete in soccer and basketball, where she continues to demonstrate teamwork, discipline and perseverance while balancing her academic and athletic commitments. Montgomery Bell Academy Director of Debate Josh Clark nominated senior Kavneer Majhail and junior Russell Howard for their remarkable team accomplishments. 'Kavneer has had one of the most historic months I can ever remember for a debate student,' Clark said. '… they did all these things together,' he said. 'I'm one proud coach.' Clark says Majhail kicked off the historic month in April by winning the National Debate Coaches Association National Championship in policy debate alongside his partner, Howard. Majhail and Howard competed in 11, two-hour debates over three days before defeating the St. Marks School of Texas in the final round on a 3-0 decision. They attended the Tournament of Champions two weeks later. According to Clark, it's the most prestigious national debate championship. 'Only 90 teams qualify for this tournament, and it's the goal of every policy debate team in the country to qualify for this prestigious tournament,' he said. The teens were undefeated in the preliminary debates, finishing 7-0. 'This made them the top seed heading into the single-elimination debates,' he said. In the elimination rounds, they won their round of 32, the Sweet Sixteen and the quarterfinals debate, Clark said, before losing a close 2-1 debate in the semifinals to Northview High School in Duluth, Georgia. "Their semifinal finish means they finished as the 3rd-best team in the nation at the T.O.C., the country's most prestigious policy debate tournament," he said. Another two weeks later, the teens headed to the Mock Trial National Championship in Phoenix, Arizona where they represented Tennessee as the state champion mock trial team against 49 other states and several foreign countries. The Montgomery Bell Academy Mock Trial team finished 11-1 on judge ballots, securing the Mock Trial National Championship for the first time in school history, Clark said. 'Kavneer is also a great young man. He's kind and participates in so many ways on our campus,' he said. Majhail was named an All-American, top lawyer honors and serves as one of the debate team captains at his school. He plans to compete on Dartmouth's prestigious debate team in the fall. Davidson Academy senior Harrison Massey earned a top spot alongside other Middle Tennessee student nominations by recently winning the TV Newscasting category at the Tennessee High School Speech and Drama League State Tournament for the fourth consecutive year. 'To my knowledge, that has never been done before,' Davidson Academy Speech Communications and Film Appreciation Teacher Mickey Hutson said. Hutson began the Speech Program at Davidson Academy about four years ago after serving as a coach and teacher at Collierville High School and Arlington High School in Shelby County for 35 years. He nominated Massey, who was chosen, by his peers, as Mr. Davidson Academy, saying 'Harrison was a dream to have in class'. Rossview High School officials say senior Jalen Soto has won numerous awards this school year as a member of the Speech Team in Dramatic Interpretation, Duo Acting, Duet Improvisation and Humorous Interpretation at over eight speech tournaments in Tennessee. Soto qualified in Dramatic Interpretation for NSDA NATIONALS in Des Moines, Iowa in June. 'He has broken into finals at every tournament, sometimes doubling and tripling, and always placing mainly top three or 1st every time,' Rossview High School Theatre Director and Speech and Debate Coach LuEllyn Boyer Wilcox said. After graduation, Soto plans to attend Belmont University to continue developing his love for theatre, speech and music and pursue a future career in the industry. 'I have taught for over 36 years and truly see the talent Jalen exudes in the Arts, Academics and Community every day,' Wilcox said. 'I can't wait to see what his future holds!'
