CB Harris ready to shine for KU football squad
He won’t be wearing number three this Fall, but he’s one of Mark Mangino’s best bets to help Kansas fans forget about Aqib Talib. Cornerback Chris Harris is only entering his sophomore year on the hill, but since starting the season opener as a rookie in 2007, he’s been consistently impressive…

Dallas South Oak Cliff High basketball coach James Mays wasn’t surprised the high school grades of Darrell Arthur were deemed legitimate following a Dallas Independent School District investigation. “I knew all along there was no wrongdoing. I’m just thankful it’s over. Our school district recognizes we did no wrong,” Mays said Saturday.
