Umpire Pulls Child Out Of Dust Devil During Baseball Game
A youth baseball game in Jacksonville, Florida recently had a scary weather event happen during the middle of the game. A dust devil formed right at home plate while 7-year-old Zoya got wrapped up in it. The 17-year-old umpire Aidan came to the kid’s rescue and thankfully was able to pull Zoya out and protect him. Zoya said he just held his breath and hoped that someone was close enough to get him out of the dust devil. His dad poured some water on his face and Zoya went right back to work and continued to play baseball. According to FOX Weather, “dust devils usually form on sunny, hot days with light winds. The dust-filled vortices are created by surface heating and typically only last a few minutes before dissipating.”

Analyzing 9 Options To Be The Next Head Coach For The Sixers
Doc Rivers is out as the Sixers’ coach. Not too surprising. After the performance of his team in game 7, the writing was on the wall. A lot of other successful coaches have already been fired directly after their team came up short like the Sixers. It felt highly unlikely Doc Rivers would come away clean. Sure enough, on Tuesday just before noon, Woj broke the news that Doc Rivers had been fired. And now, the Sixers begin their search for the next head coach.
And this coach is going to have to be the guy. This will be the 3rd head coach of The Process Era. First, there was Brett Brown, who coached the Sixers through the actual tanking years. He stuck around for several more years once Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons were on the court. He led them to 2 straight 2nd round exits and then got the boot after the Sixers got swept in round 1 of the Bubble season. Then it was Doc Rivers. He coached the team to three straight 2nd rounds, along with 3 straight exits. This year’s collapse vs the Celtics was the straw that broke the camel’s back.
Luckily for the Sixers, there are several great candidates for their next head coach, at least on paper. There were winning coaches fired by their teams for coming up short. Guys who coached under Doc Rivers who may be looking for a chance to step into the driver’s seat. Veteran coaches who took last year off and may be looking to get back into coaching. Some of the options being thrown out are great, and some not so much.
Let’s take a look at each name being thrown around and if they will be the right fit:
Jen Scordo was born and raised just outside of Atlanta, Georgia but she has called the Northeast her home for over 20 years. A diehard 5 for 5 fan, she always knew that radio was where she wanted to be and talking sports in Philadelphia is a dream come true as Producer of The Best Show Ever? on 97.5 The Fanatic. She loves to talk and write about Philly sports including the Eagles, the Sixers, the Flyers, the Phillies and the Union.
