Sunday night at 10 sports
this upcoming season with a slight sense of relief. the miners are expected to sign 4 star 6 9 forward brodricks jones! jones touched down in el paso last night for his official visit and this was the scene at the airport! utep fans making sure by the time he left was a miner! jones was ranked as the 102 player in the class of 2015 in the country and had previously signed his letter of intent to play at san diego state. jones even tweeted out today saying quote “i am signing with th university of texas at el paso. hashtag utep very blessed and fortunate.” this would be huge for the miners as jones fills an immediate front court need with matt willms being lost for the season while recovering from foot surgery. head coach tim floyd couldnt comment about the signing./ the final round of the 74th annual city golf championship wrapped up today– and el pasoan tanner gore picked up where he left off.. sinking birdie after birdie. gore here in the white with an attempt at birdie…and i think you know what is going to happen here. makes it look so easy as he sinks the birdie putt! and mike frias with a chip onto the green for birdie and he comes up just short! he would go on to tap that in for par. ian milne here in the blue also with a shot at birdie and he just misses the cup with what looks like an inch!! gore was the only one to birdie the hole while everyone else saved par. and at the end of the day tanner gore is your winner of the 74th annual city golf championship! he shot a 211 and finished at 5 under par! congratulations!! it was the final round of the quicken loans national..and we have rickie fowlers number one fan! copying fowler’s all orange look… even dyed his hair orange! hashtag… swaggg and fowlers play was as good as that little mans hairdo! fowler putting for birdie from just off the green at the 11th… he rolls in the 20 foot putt… he would birdie the next hole and finish the day at 15 under. but troy merritt entered the final round tied for the lead… he has never won on the pga tour. right here his tee shot on the par-3 16th… merritt’s ball takes a big bounce and rolls right by the pin! merritt would make the birdie putt. merritt putting for birdie on the 18th .. merritt reads it perfectly.. and knocks it in to finish with a birdie! merritt shoots a 67… wins his first career tournament on the pga tour at 18 under par. chihuahuas at home tonight looking to even the series with the reno aces. and this is one way to do it! jake goeberrt with the solo shot! that makes it 1- nothing. hope that didnt hit a car! and then in the bottom of the 6th.. pena up to bat in that good looking jersey!! and he messes around and gets a triple!! im telling yah its the jersey!! he would round the bases and be safe this was followed up a middlebrooks double…and the chihuahuas win at home 4-1. does that look pretty similiar?? ok maybe she looks a little more intimidating. if you havent already heard of this woman–then its about time you did. ronda rousey is quickly becoming one of the most iconic athletes in sports and i have no shame when i say i am truly scared of her. take that and jump in the ring with her..id tapout before the match even started. ufc 190 in rio de janeiro, brazil… ronda rousey puts her bantamweight title on the line against bethe correia … these two had a looot of bad blood building up to this fight…and it showed. rousey came out aggressive taking the center off the octagon and landing some shots on correia … moments later… ronda had correia up against the cage where she dropped her with a combination… rousey defeats correia by ko in the 1st round in 34 seconds to defend her ufc bantamweight title … rousey telling correia dont cry!!!! “i consider the manner settle and that i am not going to have to think about her ever again after this day but i know she will have to think about me plenty. as far as i’m concerned, its over and done with.” while we wait on brodricks jones to officially sign his letter of intent to play with the miners– the upcoming season actually looks promising. and this could only look better for more recruits in the future. armoni brooks is a 6 4 guard out of mcneil high school in austin. he is even considered one of the best shooters in the entire state of texas! it is still a ways out from the 2016 season but 6 schools have already made him offers! brooks is expected to visit utep in september. brooks said utep is still in his radar for next season. we shall see in the coming months. a final look at storm track weather when we return.
