How to Watch North Carolina Courage vs. San Diego Wave FC
San Diego Wave FC will look to finish a double-game week on a excessive after they tackle the North Carolina Braveness for the primary time, Sunday in Cary, North Carolina.
San Diego misplaced their first sport of the common season on Wednesday, 1-0 at Racing Louisville. Savannah DeMelo’s unstoppable free kick was the distinction, and the lineup rotations and maybe the absence of head coach Casey Stoney resulting from COVID leaving Wave FC simply that little bit flat and unable to summon a objective of their very own. I didn’t assume they’d be invincibles, and despite the fact that it was a loss, the efficiency wasn’t abject, simply not fairly ok on the highway. Nonetheless loads to construct on.
The Braveness are additionally on brief relaxation, after shedding 2-1 towards the Orlando Satisfaction at residence on Wednesday. North Carolina have made some main adjustments to their roster since final season, however after profitable the Problem Cup, they appeared like they’d be capable of dominate below present head coach Sean Nahas like they’ve performed prior to now. However with two losses within the common season to date and a sport postponed in any other case, they’ve been coping with fixture congestion already to wrap up the Problem Cup and most not too long ago, a COVID outbreak on the workforce. It appears to be like like that outbreak is over for the second, nevertheless.
So I believe this can be a reasonably attention-grabbing sport for either side. One might argue North Carolina want a win way more, however San Diego would like to match their growth sisters Angel Metropolis and hand the Braveness a debut loss. We’ll see how this intriguing encounter shakes out.

North Carolina man charged with 9 felonies after shooting at tree crew
YANCEY COUNTY, N.C. (WTVD) — A tree-trimming crew in North Carolina had a harrowing encounter when a man with a criminal record opened fire on them.
This happened near Murphytown in the Green Mountain area of Yancey County. According to a statement from the Yancey County Sheriff’s Office, 36-year-old Lucas Wilson Murphy shot three tree workers while they were clearing trees for a power company.
All three sustained serious injuries. They were taken to a hospital for treatment.
31-year-old Shelby Teague, whose husband Brandon Teague, 32, was part of the five-member crew, is still grappling with the incident. The couple have three children together.
“To have somebody crazy running through the woods is not a risk that you would think about,” she told ABC affiliate WLOS
She is thankful her husband wasn’t hurt, but three of his colleagues were.
“I’m trying not to be angry,” Shelby said. “We could have lost a bunch of good men.”
Authorities said during the exchange, an officer-involved shooting happened. Murphy was injured and taken to a hospital.
Murphy is charged with nine felony counts detailing that he assaulted five crew members with a long rifle with intent to kill.
Previous Criminal History
Shelby is angry Murphy was not in jail for previous charges.
Murphy’s misdemeanors, dating back to 2013, carry little to no jail time. This includes resisting public officers, driving while intoxicated and carrying a concealed weapon.
In 2021, the most serious case where he went to trial involved a charge that he shot and tried to kill his brother.
A law enforcement source who spoke anonymously told WLOS that Murphy’s brother refused to cooperate and minimized what happened.
Because of this, the jury could only find him guilty of assault.

Amid torrential rains and flooding, 21 North Carolina river sites fail fecal bacteria testing this week
RALEIGH, N.C. (WNCN) — A group says more than 20 North Carolina river sites failed testing for fecal bacteria this week after several days of torrential rains and nearly a foot of rainfall in some spots.
Leading up to Friday, there were several days of flood warnings and nearly a foot of rain fell in some North Carolina areas — such as Sampson County with 11 inches. Other spots — such as Durham County — received more than 9 inches of rain.
Sound Rivers, a group that monitors more than 50 recreational sites along North Carolina rivers, says that heavy rain can lead to more pollution in rivers.
“Swim Guide results are in, and they definitely reflect the impact all this rain is having on our waterways,” the Sound Rivers group said on Friday.
Full rainfall totals for Central NC for a week ending Friday
Some flood warnings continued this weekend with one still active Saturday along the Tar River at Tarboro in Edgecombe County.
“Remember, more stormwater runoff means more nasty stuff gets washed into the water,” Sound Rivers wrote Friday after 21 North Carolina river sites failed their weekly testing.
In the previous Swim Guide report, just six sites failed.
In the Raleigh area, three sites along the Neuse River failed the week ending July 26, according to Sound Rivers.
Just east of Raleigh in Wake County, these canoe launch sites met water quality standards less than 60 percent of the time: Buffaloe Road, Milburnie Park and Poole Road.
Elevated levels of fecal bacteria in the water can bring an increased risk of gastrointestinal illness and skin infections for pets and humans, Sound Rivers says.
East of the Wake County area along the Neuse River, these seven sites also failed water quality testing:
-
Maple Cypress boat ramp in Grifton
-
Glenburnie Park
-
Town of Bridgton Park
-
Upper Broad Creek at Black Beard Sailing Club
-
Lawson Creek Park in the New Bern area
-
Slocum Creek boating access in Havelock
-
Pierce Creek at the Sea Harbor Yacht Club in Oriental
Closer to the North Carolina coast, 11 sites failed the testing along the Tar and Pamlico rivers:
-
Sunset Park on the Tar River in Rocky Mount
-
Tar River Reservoir in Rocky Mount
-
River Road boat ramp on the Tar River in Tarboro
-
Town Common on the Tar River in Greenville
-
Wildwood Park on the Tar River in Greenville
-
Port Terminal on the Tar River in Greenville

Mason’s Landing on the Pamlico River in Washington
-
Havens Gardens on the Pamlico River in Washington
-
Dinah’s Landing just off the Pamlico River at Goose Creek State Park
-
Cotton Patch Landing on Blounts Creek just off the Pamlico River
Sound Rivers issues a report on various recreational areas of rivers in North Carolina after testing dozens of recreational sites each week throughout the summer.
