Retelling the story of a bridge that 'tore a nation of people apart'

In the 1990s, a group of Indigenous women were accused of fabricating claims of sacred sites to stop the construction of a bridge south of Adelaide. It was a decision that has impacted a community for decades.

Alcaraz, Munar sidelined in Doha

Carlos Alcaraz maintained his winning ways with a 6-4, 7-6(5) triumph over Arthur Rinderknech in his Doha debut. Just two weeks after completing the Grand Slam poker, the top seed continues his dominant form after enjoying personal time and F1 activities in Bahrain.

Meanwhile, Jaume Munar will be sidelined for at least six weeks due to a right arm injury, forcing him to miss tournaments in Doha, Dubai, Indian Wells, and Miami. The 37th-ranked player was in good form recently, reaching the Rotterdam quarterfinals, but his absence won't significantly impact his ranking as he's only defending 110 points from this period last year.

Maryland football reportedly expected to hire Clint Trickett as offensive coordinator

Maryland football is expected to hire former Jacksonville State offensive coordinator Clint Trickett for the same role, multiple outlets reported Tuesday. Matt Zenitz first publicly reported the news.

Pep Hamilton, who served as the Terps’ offensive coordinator in 2025, will assume a “senior advisor type role,” Zenitz reported.

It’s a bit of an unexpected hire, both in timing and Trickett himself. There was no previous indication the Terps were looking to move on from Hamilton, and Trickett accepted a job as Arkansas’ quarterbacks coach in December.

In 2025, Trickett led Jacksonville State’s offense to 246.7 rushing yards per game — fifth-most at the FBS level — on 5.3 yards per carry. Running back Cam Cook led the nation with 1,659 yards and led Conference USA with 16 touchdowns and 295 carries.

Trickett is 34 years old and Maryland’s fifth offensive coordinator in eight years under Michael Locksley. He’s the second of those five without any previous head coaching experience, alongside Josh Gattis.

Trickett was previously Marshall’s offensive coordinator in 2022 and 2023, and Georgia Southern’s passing game coordinator in 2024. He coached under Lane Kiffin at Florida Atlantic — there, he was tight ends coach for Harrison Bryant, who won the John Mackey Award in 2019 as the best tight end in the country.

Trickett may also represent a considerable philosophy shift from previous years of Maryland’s offenses. In four seasons as an offensive coordinator, all four offenses have ran the ball more than they passed. Jacksonville State averaged 46.4 rush attempts and 23.4 pass attempts in 2025.

Trickett played quarterback for Florida State and West Virginia between 2010 and 2014. He threw for 511 yards and four touchdowns in a 40-37 shootout win over Maryland in 2014 as a Mountaineer.
