Bayne Brian (285) Dual match to watch: Parkland, Jan. 16 Outlook: Last year’s impressive Zephyr squad showed the box Whitehall is in pretty well. 18 wins, a trip to the D-11 duals, the first state medalist since 2010 in the slippery, dynamic, fun-to-watch Kai, four regional qualifiers; all terrific accomplishments. The three losses? Bethlehem Catholic and Nazareth, then Northampton in the D-11 duals. We like to refer to the Zephyrs, Parkland, Emmaus, the Bethlehem public schools and Stroudsburg as the EPC’s “middle class” – they are several cuts above the rest of the league and they compete against each other with zeal and elan, but they are not near scaling the top of the league. Nothing would be better for D-11 wrestling than for some of the “middle class” to become elite, but that’s an enormous ask. Whitehall’s start to 2024-25 is typical: a 58-12 loss to Nazareth, then romping to win the Case Flynn Duals at Pottsville with six dual triumphs, the closest by 21 points. The Zephyrs can, and will, beat anybody outside of the very elite. But the D-11 3A powers – to which Notre Dame is now added – are just at another level. Whitehall’s focus for improvement could be in getting more state qualifiers and medalists, and with all four regional qualifiers from last back, including state medalist Wilmont Kai, that seems a reasonable ask. A prediction or two: Another fine season, perhaps at the head of the “middle class”. A couple more state qualifiers (Pascoe and Hopkins?) perhaps; Kai higher on the state medal stand.

The Buccaneers made the biggest jump of any team in the NFC standings in Week 14, with their win moving them from eighth place into fourth in the NFC playoff picture. Atlanta has self-destructed as of late, but still beat Tampa Bay twice, so the Bucs will have to have a strong finish to the season to secure a spot in the playoffs. While Baker Mayfield and the Buccaneers offense has been the bright spot as of late, Todd Bowles’ defense has struggled throughout the year and injuries have made it even harder on that side of the ball. Tampa Bay lost starting CB Antoine Winfield Jr. on Sunday adding to a laundry list of injured players who won’t be available as the Bucs attempt to make a push for the postseason. On Tuesday, they added a linebacker with Pro Bowl experience which will help with depth as the Buccaneers continue to attempt to string together wins for a chance to play in January. ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that the Buccaneers were adding former Pro Bowl linebacker Deion Jones, signing him to their practice squad. Jones had his best NFL season with the Atlanta Falcons in 2017 where he led the team with 138 combined tackles (91 solo) and also recorded ten pass deflections, three interceptions, and a sack in 16 games and starts. In his NFL career, which has included stops with the Falcons, Bills, Panthers and Browns, Jones has 731 tackles, 53 pass deflections, 13 interceptions, 12 sacks, 5 forced fumbles and 2 fumble recoveries. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers need depth at defense and it wouldn’t be a surprise if Jones is elevated to the 53-man roster sooner rather than later.

Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly is not escalating a war of words with Mexico, after the Mexican president criticized Canada’s culture and its framing of border issues. “I fundamentally believe that many conversations, when it comes to diplomacy, are always better when they remain private,” Joly said Monday during a teleconference from Brussels. The rift between the two trading partners started with U.S. president-elect Donald Trump’s declaration that he plans to impose 25 per cent tariffs on all goods from both countries unless they stop the flow of migrants and illegal drugs into the U.S. Several federal and provincial officials in Canada responded by saying the issues at the Canadian border are vastly different from the Mexican border. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, for example, has voiced concerns that the level of Chinese investment in Mexico goes against the economic-security goals of Ottawa and Washington. Some premiers have called on Canada to negotiate a trade deal with Washington independent from Mexico, ahead of the 2026 review of the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement, which replaced NAFTA during Trump’s last tenure in the White House. In a Monday press conference, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said Mexico “must be respected, especially by its trading partners.” She also noted that Canada has “a very serious problem with fentanyl consumption,” more than Mexico, and possibly as a result of some drug-decriminalization measures. “We are not going to fall for a provocation of which country is better,” she said, chalking some criticism from Canada up to political pandering. “Mexico should not be used as part of (Canadian) electoral campaigns,” she said. Yet Sheinbaum also said Canada “could only wish they had the cultural riches Mexico has,” saying her country has civilizations dating back thousands of years. Asked to respond, Joly said she is reaching out to Mexican officials after speaking with the U.S., including about the “very important trade agreement” that includes all three countries. “I know there has been many conversations in Canada about how we can work together and how we can, at the same time, protect our interests,” she said. “We have a positive relationship with Mexico, and we need to work with the country; that’s definitely my goal.” Christopher Sands, director of the Canada Institute at the Woodrow Wilson Center in Washington, said tensions between both countries played out in the NAFTA renegotiation, when there was limited communication between Ottawa and Mexico City. “The Canada-Mexico relationship has always been the weakest part of the triangle of North America,” he said. “There was a lot of feeling during the (CUSMA) negotiations that Mexico was willing to go it alone, and that Canada particularly toward the end was on the outside looking in, and had to fight its way back to the table.” He said Washington would rather have a trade pact with all three countries so it can limit the time and attention it needs on continental issues. “The U.S. is probably the most trilateral of all three countries,” he said, with a caveat. “I think Donald Trump looks at this going into 2026 and says, ‘Great, divide and conquer.’” Sands added that Sheinbaum and her predecessor have implemented nationalist policies that have been at odds with Washington. “The Mexican government has been moving in a direction which is antithetical to the North American project (through) nationalizing parts of the economy, by reversing energy reforms, by doing deals with the cartels. (They are) sometimes working co-operatively with the Americans in the borders, and sometimes not.” Sheinbaum indicated a week ago that she would be writing a letter to Trudeau. That has not been made public, although she did release a letter she had sent to Trump.
