Eustis, Wildwood to start at top
Two of the hottest basketball teams from the Lake/Sumter area heading into next week's boys basketball district tournaments may be Eustis and Wildwood. Coincidentally, they also are the two area teams entering the tournaments as top-seeded teams.
Going into Thursday night's games, Eustis (18-5 overall, 7-0 in district) is riding a six-game winning streak and is No. 1 in the Class 4A, District 7 Tournament at Bishop Moore. South Lake (13-9, 6-1), which is playing in the Montverde Academy Invitational Tournament this week, is the second-seeded team.
Wildwood (19-4, 7-1), which met Leesburg on Thursday night, is the top-seeded team in the 3A-7 tournament at Mount Dora and has won 10 games in a row. Ocala Trinity Catholic (18-4, 7-1) is seeded second, but the Celtics are ranked No.
Benni McCarthy takes no prisoners as Sunderland are left fit to drop
A new year, but the same old story for Sunderland. Roy Keane’s team dropped into the Barclays Premier League relegation zone last night thanks to a combination of Wigan Athletic’s draw away to Liverpool and their inability to perform away from Wearside. A seventh successive defeat on the road means that Sunderland have taken only two away points all season and have yet to keep a clean sheet on their travels. "It’s not nice, but I’ve said that the priority for us is not to be there come May," Keane said. "We had a chance to get further away from it tonight, and these opportunities keep slipping us by. Our home form is keeping us in touch." They could count themselves unlucky at Ewood Park, although a less charitable view would be that they shot themselves in the foot — twice.
The thrilling woes of that thing called 'love story'
It's the only off note in this otherwise irresistible anthology of 27 love stories sure to make hearts flutter well beyond Valentine's Day. My Mistress's Sparrow Is Dead was edited by Eugenides at Dave Eggers's behest, to benefit the Chicago chapter of 826 National, his writing programs for teens, a cause as worthy as amour. Eugenides's point is that love stories – as opposed to love itself – thrive on obstructions: sparrows, dead or alive. As he explains in his introduction, they "depend on disappointment" and "nearly without exception, give love a bad name." What he doesn't mention is that reading love stories thrillingly combines the pleasures of prurience and schadenfreude. Unlike Zadie Smith, who commissioned new stories by hip young writers for "The Book of Other People," her anthology for Eggers's literacy project, Eugenides sought suggestions rather than submissions from contemporary authors.
