Longtime radio personality leaves a lasting legacy
By Conner Becker cbecker@ljworld.com
On a cold, windy Friday night in November, the Lawrence High football team had barely gotten off the bus as raindrops started falling ahead of the Class 6A state regional matchup against Derby — a team that had beaten the Lions in the very same playoff in consecutive years. Without missing a beat, Hank Booth threw on his headset and jumped right into his signature pregame

Royals narrow gap; can’t get past Guardians
By Brian Dulik Associated Press
Cleveland — Top prospect Gavin Williams struck out seven in 5 2/3 innings for his first victory in the majors, brothers Bo and Josh Naylor drove in two runs apiece and the Cleveland Guardians beat the Kansas City Royals 10-6 on Saturday.
Williams (1-1) gave up three runs on eight hits and walked one in his fourth start. The righthander made his debut June 21, two years after being drafted in the first round by Cleveland out of East Carolina.
Both Naylors had two singles and a double as the Guardians had a season-high 18 hits, taking over first place in the AL Central from Minnesota at 45-44. They built a 5-0 lead after four innings en route to moving above .500 for the first time since April 19.
Josh Bell went 3 for 3 with two walks and two RBIs, and Amed Rosario had three hits in Cleveland’s third consecutive victory.
Josh Naylor has 32 RBIs over the last 32 games, while Bo Naylor broke out of a 1-for-19 slump with his second three-hit performance.
The Royals scored six times between the fifth and eighth to close to 7-6, but failed to tie it in the eighth when Nicky Lopez was thrown out at the plate by center fielder Myles Straw on Maikel Garcia’s RBI double.
Bobby Witt Jr. went 3 for 5 with a solo homer, RBI triple and stolen base for Kansas City, which is 0-6 on its seven-game trip. The Royals have been outscored 41-14 and have 38 total hits during the span.
Kansas City starter Brady Singer (5-8) worked five innings, allowing six runs on a career-high 13 hits while striking out three.
The right-hander dropped to 2-4 with a 7.54 ERA in seven road outings.
The Guardians tacked on three runs in the eighth against Nick Wittgren, restoring their fourrun lead. Bell’s two-run single with one out was the big blow, allowing closer Emmanuel Clase to pitch the ninth in a non-save situation.

lights dimmed, Booth recognized every senior on LHS’ roster one last time, the same way he’d done year after year covering his alma mater (class of ’64).
Lawrence said goodbye to that radio icon last week, when the longtime on-air personality and
community figure died suddenly early Friday morning after a short illness at the age of 77, according to Booth’s son, Andy.
For more than five decades, Booth was the guy on the radio everyone knew. From his weekday radio show, “According to the Record with Hank Booth,” on KLWN and the endless sporting events Booth covered behind the mic, he was seemingly everywhere all of the time.

Megan Rapinoe says she’ll retire after season, 4th World Cup
By Haven Daley Associated Press
San JoSe, Calif —
U.S. women’s soccer star Megan Rapinoe is ready to retire after an illustrious career in which she won an Olympic gold medal, two World Cups and never shied away from using her platform to spotlight social issues.
Rapinoe, 38, announced Saturday her fourth World Cup will be her last and she’ll officially retire with the OL Reign at the end of the National Women’s Soccer League season.
Rapinoe and the U.S. team are aiming for a third consecutive title when the Women’s World Cup kicks off on July 20 in Australia and New Zealand. The U.S. plays

The recognition comes as Havili continues her transition into coaching following a playing career overseas. She’s entering her first season as a fulltime paid assistant at Miami, after helping out on a volunteer basis at Purdue last season. Havili has the requisite on-court experience to help mentor the Hurricanes’ setters and the youth to connect with them, but she said she’s found out coaching requires so many additional logistical skills.
When you’re a college athlete, “the meals just show up, the bus is always there, there’s always a flight.” With the added perspective of her first years of coaching, Havili

The native of Fort Worth, Texas, excelled from her opening moments on campus, starting every match and appearing in every set as a freshman, leading the Big 12 Conference in assists and assists per set along the way. The following year was when everything came together for the Jayhawks for the best season in modern program history, as they went 30-3, fueled in large part by the sophomore American Volleyball Coaches Association All-American duo of Havili and Payne — the first-ever All-Americans for Kansas volleyball. KU won four NCAA Tournament matches, including an upset over No. 1 USC, before falling to Nebraska in the national semifinal.
“I think that’s going to

be so awesome, being able to celebrate that team, honestly,” Havili said.
Junior year brought a Big 12 title, and by the end of her Kansas tenure Havili had won that conference’s setter of the year honor in three straight seasons (no one else had ever done it more than once) as she racked up a school-record 5,255 assists.
She spent a year playing beach volleyball at Arizona as a graduate student, then tried her hand at going overseas to play professional indoor volleyball in Germany and Turkey, but said that it started to take a toll on her mentally during the pandemic. Havili came back home to Texas and worked as a recruiter for a staffing firm while coaching club volleyball on the side.
“I coached a little bit while I was still playing,
“So just wanted to do it now and honestly kind of get it out of the way before we go down to New Zealand so we can focus on the task at hand, which is winning another World Cup.”
At the 2019 World Cup in France, Rapinoe scored six goals over the course of the tournament, including a penalty in a 2-0 victory over the Netherlands in the final. She also finished with three assists and claimed the Golden Boot and the Golden Ball for the best overall player. Rapinoe also took home the
summer camps and things like that,” she said, “never really thought that that was a route that I was going to go down.”
But she came to love watching young players grow into the game, and that combined with the increasing national spotlight on college volleyball made her want to take her coaching back to the collegiate ranks.
“People are tuning in to watch regular-season games on ESPN, they’re going to show this year’s Final Four on ABC, it’s a super exciting time to be in the sport,” she said. Her first call was to Bechard, who she said was thrilled for her and eager to help out however possible, and soon enough she found herself on a call with the Purdue staff laying out her goals, and then heading to West Lafayette, Indiana, to get
Rapinoe is tied with Abby Wambach for third all-time in assists for the U.S. Women’s National Team and is one of only seven players in team history with more than 50 career goals and assists. She first played for the U.S. senior team in 2006.
Rapinoe has played her entire 11-year NWSL career for the Reign. She has scored the sixth most goals in league history with 48. An outspoken advocate for equal pay in women’s soccer and supporter of LGBTQ+ rights, President Joe Biden last year awarded Rapinoe the Presidential Medal
“the whole overall scope of this sport at the collegiate level.”
Joining a staff that had been together for decades required an adjustment but also made clear to Havili the variety of skills she would need to succeed: “the operations, the planning and all these other little things that you don’t think about when you’re a player.”
“They have it down pat,” she said. “The way they run their program is like a well-oiled machine. I basically just kind of learned the ins and outs of this job.”
That set her up to transition to her first paid assistant role with Miami, again after a consultation with Bechard (“He’s just a well-known guy in this country, and it seems like everybody knows coach B”). A visit in January helped her feel
Rapinoe was the first white athlete and first female to kneel during the national anthem in solidarity with former NFL player Colin Kaepernick, according to U.S. Soccer.
She is engaged to be married to women’s basketball icon Sue Bird.
“I don’t even think there are words to say what she’s meant to the growth of soccer in this country, and not just this country, worldwide,” U.S. forward Sophia Smith said. “She is a legend. ... So it is a really sad and bittersweet time. But I’m excited to be able to go on this last journey with her in the World Cup and see all the great things that she does after her career.”
comfortable she would jell well with the rest of the staff — another longtenured group — and comfortable in select other ways. “That was sunshine and palm trees, how can you say no to that?” she said.
In the six months since, charged primarily with mapping out the Hurricanes’ offensive approach during the spring, she’s been delighted to find a “super motivated and competitive” group of players.
“It’s coming up quick and it came a lot quicker than expected,” Havili said, “but I’m excited to jump into the season headfirst.”
Even sooner, though, will be another trip to Lawrence.
“I’m never going to say no if they keep wanting to bring me back,” she said.

Booth hosted his final weekday radio special June 30, finished his 50th year calling Lawrence High football this fall and emceed the annual Rock Chalk Roundball Classic charity basketball game at Free State High on June 8.
To those closest to him, Booth’s persistence to stay involved with the community stands alone, even after selling KLWN, the longtime Booth-familyowned radio station, during the late 1990s. It’s that drive that kept Booth reporting on everything from ballgames to school board meetings.
“He didn’t let anything get in his way,” Andy Booth said. “If he could help someone, he’d drop everything he was doing and he would go do that. Children are no different. He just loved children.”
Andy, a now-retired firefighter from the Lawrence Fire Department, and Amy, a registered nurse, are the two surviving children of Hank and his wife, Sue. The family recently endured another heartbreaking loss when Hank’s second daughter, Becca, died due to a chronic illness in December.

It became a large part of Booth’s life, beyond just a career, said Kim Murphree, a former news director at KLWN.
Booth gave Murphree her start at KLWN to work Sunday mornings in 1998, and she spent 15 years at the station working alongside him. As she climbed the ladder from programming Sunday church services to the Saturday morning show, Murphree saw how Booth’s commitment to providing unparalleled service to listeners set him apart.

How the NBA’s new in-season tourney will work
By Tim Reynolds
The unveiling Saturday of the long-awaited plans for the in-season tournament that’ll start in November likely brought some questions, since it’s a new concept and will make the schedule a bit unclear when the list of games for the 2023-24 slate gets released later this summer.
All 30 teams will take part. And every game will count in the stats and standings — except the championship game in Las Vegas on Dec. 9.
How does this work?
First, let’s start with the easy answer. Every game counts in the regular-season standings — except the championship game.
(More on that later.)
Teams will play four group-stage games. The group winners go to the quarterfinals, as do two wild-card teams. Quarterfinals, semifinals and the final are all single elimination.
How were groups picked?
Teams were assigned to a five-team group, with this past season’s order of
regular season finish setting the pods from which they were selected. The teams that finished first, second and third in each conference were in one pod; the teams that finished in spots 4-6 were in another; spots 7-9 in another; spots 10-12 in another and spots 13-15 in the last.
The winner of each group goes to the quarterfinals, along with the best two second-place teams. Tiebreakers will likely come into play there. For
tiebreakers within a group, head-to-head comes first.
If there’s a tie for the best second-place team in all groups, the tiebreakers are:
l Point differential in the Group Stage;
l Total points scored in the Group Stage;
l Record from the 202223 regular season.
l Random drawing.
What’s at stake?
Well, the games all count, so the results will obviously factor toward who makes the “real”
playoffs that start in April.
Other than that, teams will play for the NBA Cup — the new trophy — and bonus money for the quarterfinalists, semifinalists, runner-up and champion. Players could get as much as $500,000; for some guys in the league, that’s a game check, but for many players, that’s still a significant amount of money.
Does everyone still play 82 games?
This is a trick question. The answer is yes, sort of.
Teams will get an 80game schedule (including the four group stage games) in the next few weeks. Teams that don’t make the playoffs of the in-season tournament will play two games (filling the two missing games in their 82-game schedule) against other non-knockout-stage teams on Dec. 6 and 8.
For quarterfinalists, that game becomes the 81st on their schedule. Quarterfinal losers will play the other quarterfinal loser from their conference, filling the 82nd spot on their schedule.
Semifinalists will have 82 game slots filled by the quarterfinals and semifinals. Semifinal losers won’t play any extra game; they’ll be at 82 already.
This leaves the two championship-gamebound teams. That Dec. 9 game in Las Vegas will end up as one of 83 games on their schedules — which is why it won’t count on their records or for statistical purposes.
Regular season play resumes Dec. 11.
Will all teams still play 41 home games?
No. Some teams will play 40 games at home or on the road instead of the customary 41, and some teams could also find themselves at home or on the road 42 times.
Bulls 83, Raptors 74
Nate Darling scored 15 points to pace Chicago (1-0) in its victory over Toronto on Friday. Javon Freeman-Liberty pitched in with 12 points, six rebounds and four assists. Dalen Terry and Henri Drell added 10 points apiece. Terry added six boards, four assists and three steals. Gradey Dick, the 13th overall pick, finished with 10 points, four rebounds and three steals for Toronto (0-1). Markquis Nowell led the Raptors with 17 points and five assists. Moses Brown tallied 14 points, nine rebounds and four blocks.
Cavaliers 101, Nets 97
Sharife Cooper scored 26 points on 8-of-11 shooting to lead Cleveland (1-0) to a victory over Brooklyn (0-1) on Friday.
Emoni Bates, a second-rounder and the Cavaliers’ only pick in this year’s draft, finished with 16 points on 5-of-18 shooting. Isaiah Mobley pitched in with 15 points, nine rebounds and six assists. Sam Merrill totaled 15 points, 10 rebounds and five assists. Armoni Brooks and Jalen Wilson both had 17 points for Brooklyn. First-round pick Noah Clowney scored four points on 1-of-9 shooting with five rebounds. — The Associated Press
Popovich, NBA’s winningest coach, signs 5-year contract with Spurs
By Tim Reynolds Associated Press
Las Vegas — Gregg Popovich evidently doesn’t plan to leave the San Antonio Spurs anytime soon.
The NBA’s winningest
coach has signed a fiveyear contract to remain coach and president of the team, the Spurs announced Saturday. There has often been speculation about the 74-year-old Popovich’s future, though after the team landed the
chance to draft Victor Wembanyama last month it was presumed that the five-time champion would continue coaching. And now, it’s official. The Spurs announced the move in a two-sentence release, not detailing any
of the terms, without any quotes from Popovich or team personnel. Popovich took over as coach of the Spurs in December 1996. He’s won 1,366 games — 31 more than Don Nelson, who was the career wins
leader before Popovich caught him. He’s also third in playoff wins with 170, behind only Phil Jackson (229) and Pat Riley (171). And Popovich is one of only five coaches with at least five championships;
Jackson won 11, Red Auerbach won nine and Popovich is in a group with Riley and John Kundla as winners of five. He’ll enter the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame next month.

Great-aunt irritated by lack of thanks for birthday gifts
Dear Annie: I have a family of grandnieces and nephews who never say thank you or let you know they received their gift. They are young, and I’d blame my niece for not teaching them, but she has five children, and I can imagine it’s hard for her to find the time to teach them to say thank you. My mom, the greatgrandma, stopped sending them gifts because she never heard if they liked them or even if they received them. I don’t want to do

that. I blame the parents more and would still send $20 for each of their birthdays. So I sent the oldest,
British police procedural is smart, topical
PBS imports the British series “DI Ray” (9 p.m., PBS), a smart procedural available to digital streamers since February.
Parminder Nagra (“The Blacklist,” “Bend It Like Beckham”) stars in the title role as Rachita Ray, a police officer long sidelined by bureaucratic indifference. Or perhaps oldfashioned racism.
ROYAL STARS HOROSCOPE
For Sunday, July 9:
my 14-year-old grandniece, a birthday card with a $20 bill in it, and I sent a text wishing her a happy birthday on her birthday. She thanked me for the birthday wishes but never mentioned the card. So I waited a few days and texted her to see if she got the card, and she replied “yes.” That’s it — just “yes.”
She’s 14, and I’m starting to feel like my mother — that if she can’t even type the words “thank you,” why do I bother? I waited six weeks to see if she
would mail a thank-you card, but nothing.
The other grandnieces and nephews from other families send us a text with a picture or video thanking us. They are all out of state, and all I want is an acknowledgement that it got there and how it meant a lot to them that we are thinking of them on their special day.
It’s just this one family, and I didn’t want to treat them differently, like my mom does. My husband says to overlook it because
it’s how they are raised, but I feel I should let my grandniece know that if she can’t appreciate the gift, then I will just wish her a happy birthday through text and call it a day. I feel she’s old enough to understand that she should thank someone.
— Unappreciated Dear Unappreciated: You are correct that she is certainly old enough to understand. Her mother is doing her a disservice by not teaching her the importance of gratitude. It has the power to
create great things. It is your money, so do what makes you feel most comfortable, and if that is not giving her money anymore, then don’t give it. But I would convey to her WHY you have stopped. She might not even know. A mother is not the only person who can influence good manners on a child. A great-aunt can certainly have a positive influence, so talk with her first.
— Send your questions to dearannie@creators.com.
You are an independent thinker. You are confident, strong-willed and eager to explore what life has to offer. You have a creative imagination. Expect exciting changes this year, along with increased personal freedom. Let go of anything that holds you back. Seek out new opportunities and be ready to act on them.
The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19)
might be involved with a charitable organization with a mandate to help those who are less fortunate. Tonight: Check your finances.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
HHH This is a good day to make your plea to authority figures, because people feel warmhearted and sympathetic to each other today. It’s as if they know what it’s like to walk a mile in someone else’s wedges. Tonight: Cooperate. This Week: You are admired! Schmooze with younger, creative people.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
In the opening scene, she’s shown talking a disturbed man into surrendering his knife and himself to authorities. In less delicate hands, he might have been shot or gone on a more deadly rampage.
Once her moment of grace under fire goes viral, police authorities feel compelled to add her to the homicide division. There, she’s clearly treated as a token hire, a nod to cultural and political sensitivities and a “tick on the box.” Born and raised in Leicester, she’s still seen as defined by her Punjab heritage. And the resentment doesn’t end with her mostly white and native British colleagues. The South Asian community in Birmingham also sees her as a sellout, and she’s pelted with insults in many different tongues and dialects.
“DI Ray” hardly reinvents the detective drama. But it takes an interesting glance at a force trying to reform itself by better representing the public it polices from the point of view of a smart officer with an uneasy relationship with both her colleagues and the community.

l 2023 U.S. Women’s Open Golf Championships (2 p.m., NBC).
