He jumped from the dang car.“I was removed for benching a quarterback who was the athletic director’s nephew,” O’Brien explained to me Monday at Empower Field, “and the district athletic director’s son.”This was back at Citrus High School in Inverness, Fla., during the fall of 2019. His first autumn as a prep head coach. Did we mention that his team was 8-1 during Coach OB’s first nine games at the helm?Or that Citrus was cruising to its first playoff berth in six years? Or the ’Canes’ stellar record of 13-25 in the four seasons before O’Brien showed up?“I was asked to move to a middle school 30 minutes away,” the first-year Eagles coach continued. “They said that if I wanted to stay in the district and stay in Florida, that was going to be the move.”Instead, O’Brien threw open th...

Nosewicz is a generation older than the tournament’s 22-year-old mean, but don’t tell him that, as he believes he’s still coming into his own on the course amid a career year.“I don’t feel like I’ve hit my ceiling yet,” Nosewicz said. “I’m still hungry, I’m not satisfied and I want more. I just keep getting up early to play. I’m still chasing it. And maybe every year, I do something better than I did the year before.”That’s been the case this year, when Nosewicz won the Color...
