Sun shut down Aces again to clinch playoff berth

Aug. 25—MOHEGAN — It was news to Connecticut Sun head coach Curt Miller when he found out over an hour before Tuesday night’s game that his team would clinch a playoff berth with a win over the Las Vegas Aces.

Miller said he wasn’t going to tell his team.

He lied.

“Trust me, he made us aware,” the Sun’s DeWanna Bonner said with a grin. “We were like, ‘OK, we just want to win.'”

The Sun went out and once again got the league’s highest-scoring team stuck in mud. They won 76-62 in a battle between first-place teams to sweep the three-game regular-season series with the Aces before 4,012 at Mohegan Sun Arena.

Connecticut (18-6) its sixth straight game, a season high. It was also the third time this season it held Las Vegas under 70 points. The latter had averaged a league-high 90.5 points.

“So proud of our effort, our tenacity, our toughness tonight against an elite team,” Miller said. “They play at the fastest pace. They’re the league-leaders in points in the paint You name it, offensively, analytically, they’re the best in the league. And they have great depth.

“For us to hold them again in the 60s is just a credit to how hard we play (defensively).”

Connecticut also took sole control of first place after the Minnesota Lynx knocked off the defending WNBA champion Seattle Storm 76-70. The Sun has a one-game lead over both teams with eight games to go.

Seattle swept the Sun this season.

Bonner scored 14 of her 18 points in the second half along with nine rebounds, four assists and three steals for Connecticut.

Briann January had the hot hand in the first half for the Sun. She scored 12 of her season-high 19 in that half and added three steals.

Brionna Jones had 15 points, eight rebounds and four steals, Jonquel Jones…

MILFORD TWP., Pa. – A 65-year-old man died after he drove his vehicle into flood waters in Bucks County Wednesday as the remnants of Hurricane Ida brought heavy rains to the region.

Donald Allen Bauer, of Perkiomenville, was found dead in the vehicle around 6 a.m. Thursday, according to a state police news release.

Troopers were dispatched to the 1900 block of Trumbauersville Road in Milford Township around 11:15 p.m. Wednesday for the report of a missing person from a vehicle that had driven into the flood waters of Unami Creek, state police said.

Arriving troopers and fire department personnel tried to retrieve the vehicle. However, the conditions were too severe, and crews postponed the search efforts at 11:30 pm. Wednesday, state police said.

A 54-year-old woman, also of Perkiomenville, was able to get out of the vehicle and was transported to St. Luke’s Upper Bucks campus, state police said.

Troopers and fire department personnel returned to the scene Thursday around 6 a.m. and found Bauer dead inside the vehicle, according to state police.

Williamstown football preview, 2021: New era set to begin for the Braves

Williamstown Braves

Head coach: Tom Kelly (first season)

Last year’s record: 7-2

2021 Starting SI rating: 82.42

Division: WJFL American

Division opponents: Millville, Shawnee, Lenape, St. Augustine, Vineland

Key players: Turner Inge, RB/LB, Sr.; Keyshaun Watkins, QB/RB, Sr.; Jayden Wright, OL/DL, Sr.; Barry Alexander, DL, Sr.; Paul Williams, RB/DB, Sr.; Chad Davis, DL, Sr., Nasir Lane, DL, Sr.; Jacob Pederson, P, Sr.

Outlook: Tom Kelly is the Braves’ third coach in three seasons. Frank Fucetola left the Braves prior to the 2020 season after over two decades with the program, the best years coming at the end of his tenure where Williamstown established itself as one of the best teams in the state.

Long-time offensive coordinator Pat Gallagher took over for one season, going 7-2, and now the job falls to another former Williamstown assistant in Kelly.

A strong senior class graduated but there’s still plenty of talent left, including Villanova commit Turner Inge, who will lead the Braves from the offensive and defensive backfields. Inge was the leading rusher with 545 yards and nine scores.

Williamstown is a two-time defending sectional champion and finished last year strong to vault into the Top 20 at season’s end. It will be challenged out of the blocks, especially with a matchup at St. Augustine in Week 2.

Schedule

  • Sept. 3: Rancocas Valley
  • Sept. 10: at St. Augustine
  • Sept. 17: Kingsway
  • Sept. 24: Lenape
  • Oct. 1: at Shawnee
  • Oct. 8: at Washington Twp.
  • Oct. 15: Millville
  • Oct. 22: at Vineland
