Rodman highlights USWNT roster for match at UCSB Harder Stadium

KEYT on January 8, 2026

Mike Klan

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. (KEYT). – U.S. Women’s National Team head coach Emma Hayes has named a 26-player January training camp to be held at the Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, Calif. The camp will conclude with matches against Paraguay on Jan. 24 at DHSP and Jan. 27 against Chile at Harder Stadium in Santa Barbara, Calif. Tickets for both matches are available on ussoccer.com.

Roughy 11,000 tickets have already been sold for the match at UCSB.

The roster features the return of forward Trinity Rodman, who played in just one USWNT match in 2025, a 2-0 victory over Brazil at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, Calif. In that match, she scored the game-winning goal. Rodman, 23, has the most caps (47) and goals (11) of anyone on the roster. The other 22 field players on the roster have a combined 17 international goals. That match against Brazil was Rodman’s only USWNT appearance since the 2024 Olympic gold medal match on Aug. 10, 2024. Rodman is a Southern California native, growing up in Orange County, not far from DHSP.

As the January training camp falls outside a FIFA competition window, Hayes named a roster made up entirely of players from the National Women’s Soccer League, with Rodman currently unattached, including four first-time call-ups in forwards Maddie Dahlien (Seattle Reign FC) and Reilyn Turner (Portland Thorns FC) and midfielders Riley Jackson (North Carolina Courage) and Sally Menti (Seattle Reign FC). Dahlien and Jackson featured in all five U.S. U-23 WNT events in 2025 and were on the roster for the January 2025 Futures Camp in Florida. Menti was in two U.S. U-23 WNT camps last year.

Dahlien and Jackson also played key roles in the USA’s third-place finish at the 2024 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup in Colombia, a team that featured four additional players on this USWNT roster in defenders Jordyn Bugg and Gisele Thompson, midfielder Claire Hutton and forward Ally Sentnor, who returns from the senior team roster after helping lead the U.S. Under-23 WNT to wins over the Slovakia WNT (1-0) and England’s U-23s (4-2) during the last FIFA window. Sentnor scored in both matches.

At the end of this camp, the USA will face Paraguay on Jan. 24 at DHSP (2:30 p.m. PT / 5:30 p.m. ET on TNT, truTV and HBO Max in English, on Universo and Peacock in Spanish, on Westwood One radio in English and on Futbol de Primera radio in Spanish) before traveling north to face Chile on Jan. 27 at Harder Stadium in Santa Barbara, Calif. (7 p.m. PT / 10 p.m. ET on TBS and HBO Max in English, Universo and Peacock in Spanish, and on the radio in English on Westwood One and in Spanish on Futbol de Primera).

“Once again, our roster presents opportunity, for the coaching staff to evaluate players and for some NWSL players we haven’t seen as much in the National Team environment, as well as for some first-time call-ups, to show they can contribute in 2026, 2027 or beyond,” said Hayes. “We’re looking forward to having a few more training days than usual in this camp as well as getting two matches to see this part of the player pool in game action and hopefully add even more depth and options for our 2026 SheBelieves Cup roster.”

Concurrently with the USWNT’s January training camp at DHSP, the U.S. Youth National Team staff will conduct a National Team Development Camp featuring players born between 2003-2008. The youth camps are part of the continued focus on the U.S. Way, which emphasizes increased programming for Youth National Teams to create more opportunities for young players to advance through the pathway to the senior National Team with the goal of representing their country at a world championship.

Two Columbia murder suspects plead guilty; state seeks 18-year sentence

KMIZ on January 8, 2026

Madison Stuerman

COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

Two men accused of a 2022 murder in Columbia pleaded guilty Wednesday afternoon, just days before going to trial.

They’ll likely serve nearly two decades in prison per the terms of the plea agreement.

Oscar Ashford and Samarion Robins entered guilty pleas to second-degree murder and unlawful use of a weapon. Boone County Prosecutor Roger Johnson said the state agreed to 18 years in prison for each man. Sentencing is set for Monday.

The two were charged in the death of 15-year-old Aubry Doxley in 2022 on McKee Street.

As part of the plea agreement, prosecutors dropped one count of armed criminal action.

Ashford and Robins were set for a joint trial to start on Monday. A pretrial conference was held hours before the guilty pleas were entered.

At the pretrial conference, prosecutors revealed cell phone data that they said showed Robins and Ashford in the area of McKee Street when the shooting happened that left Doxley dead and two others hurt.

One of those hurt included Tavan Williams-Patrick. Court documents placed him in the back seat of the car during the shooting. Charges were dropped against Williams-Patrick in Aug.

Prosecutors said cell phone data also placed Ashford and Robins at an area hospital following the shooting, when Williams-Patrick was dropped off.

A final disposition and sentencing hearing for Robins and Ashford is set for Monday afternoon.

Charges are still active against another defendant, Daniel Ayers. Court documents say he allegedly told Doxley’s cousin, Coriana Simmons, what had happened. Ayers claimed Ashford was driving the car while Robins fired shots out of the passenger window. Ayers told Smith he did not fire any shots.

However, the state believes the shooting was retaliation for a shooting Ayers was involved in days prior, along with conflicts dating back to 2020.

Ayers is set to go to trial in April for his charges of second-degree muder, unlawful use of a weapon and armed criminal action.

DAVIESS COUNTY, MO. (News-Press NOW) — A 26-year-old man is dead after failing to stop at a stop sign and being struck by a large truck on Missouri Route 6 near Gallatin on Wednesday. 

The fatal crash occurred on Wednesday around 6 p.m. after a 26-year-old man traveling south in a 2005 Chevy Equinox on State Route DD failed to stop at a stop sign and was struck by a 2007 Chevrolet Silverado going west on Missouri Route 6, roughly a mile west of Gallatin.  

The crash forced both vehicles off the south side of Missouri Route 6, with the Equinox eventually coming to rest on its wheels facing north. 

The driver of the vehicle, a 26-year-old man from Lawson, Missouri was pronounced dead at 7:15 p.m. by a deputy at the direction of the county coroner. He was not wearing a seatbelt at the time of the crash according to a crash report.

After the collision, the Chevy Silverado overturned and struck a utility pole before coming to rest on its driver’s side. 

A 38-year-old man from Union Star driving the Chevy Silverado sustained minor injuries in the crash and was transported by Cameron EMS to Mosaic Life Care in St. Joseph. 

The Daviess County Sheriff’s Department provided assistance on scene. The Highway Patrol does not release the names of those involved in reports.

8 more New World screwworm cases reported in Mexico near border with Texas

KVIA on January 8, 2026

Nicole Ardila

EL PASO, Texas (KVIA) — Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller says Mexico’s National Service of Agro-Alimentary Public Health, Safety, and Quality has confirmed eight new cases of New World screwworm in the Mexican state of Tamaulipas. That is near the border with Texas.

The number of total confirmed cases in Tamaulipas since December 30, 2025, is now 11.

“It’s just plain cowboy logic—when you’re seeing this many cases, this fast, it tells you there may be established screwworm fly populations in Tamaulipas,” Commissioner Miller said. “We’re grateful sterile fly deployment has begun, but make no mistake: Texas producers need to stay on high alert along our border.”

The Texas Department of Agriculture says there is no history of the infected animals having traveled outside of Tamaulipas.

“Producers should be checking livestock every day and treating any wound as a potential entry point,” Commissioner Miller said. “Pay close attention to navels on young animals, isolate anything suspicious, and report concerns without delay. Early detection and aggressive surveillance are how we protect Texas livestock.”

Update (1:26 PM): A second New World screwworm case has been reported in a cow in the Mexican state of Tamaulipas.

Today, Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller issued a warning to livestock producers after news of the second case in just over a week broke.

The case was detected in a seven-year-old bovine in González, Tamaulipas, which is located 215 miles south of the border with Texas. Officials say the cow had no reported history of movement outside of the state.

“The screwworm now may be moving closer on its own, with no apparent link to commercial animal movement,” Commissioner Miller said. “Texas producers must act now—stay informed, stay vigilant, and prepare immediately. We cannot drop our guard for even a moment.”

ORIGINAL STORY (January 8, 2026): Veterinarians have a new warning for pet owners after a recent New World screwworm case was reported in Mexico, less than 200 miles from Texas.

ABC-7 spoke with Dr. Priscilla Bowens, President of the El Paso Veterinarian Medical Association about how pets can get affected.

Last week, the NWS was detected in a six-day-old calf in the state of Tamaulipas, Mexico.

“We need to be vigilant because we are along the border, the southern border, with our neighbor Mexico,” said Bowens. “And it can make its way potentially to the United States and devastate, not only agricultural, livestock, but also it can affect pets and people.” 

It all starts when a fly lays their eggs in an open wound of a living animal and the eggs could hatch within 12 to 24 hours.

Your pet can come in contact with a screwworm if the fly lays an egg in an open wound, cut or even a suture from getting spayed or neutered.

The veterinarian recommends keeping an eye out for an unpleasant odor, if your pet is licking excessively, in pain or if you see something moving.

Depending on where the screwworm is located on the body, it can cause severe health issues for your pet like difficulty for chewing or breathing.

“I know this sounds really gross, but if you see something moving around in live tissue, quickly, alert your veterinarian,” she said. “Do not try to get it out yourself because this condition can worsen quickly and can cause further tissue damage and even death in pets.”

Right now the border is closed to cattle import, but stay alert for your pet and check their skin.

Avoiding the post-holiday slump

KVIA on January 8, 2026

Hillary Floren

The holidays are over, and this week means back to school for tens of thousands of borderland students.  If you’re having a hard time getting back into the swing of things, don’t be too hard on yourself.  It’s a transition that could take some time, and experts say that’s ok.

Psychologist Dr. Adriana Hort says the month of January tends to bring with it feelings of sadness, blues, depression, and more.  

Experts recommend keeping routines as stable as possible, while making sure they stay active and connected to others. 

“There is this thing we call behavioral activation, which is a treatment tool for symptoms of depression and depression itself, that’s just getting us to do something. Instead of waiting to feel good and motivated, you do it and then the mood will follow,” Hort says.   She sa ys parents can talk to their children about how they feel about going back to school.  Asking if they’re nervous or stressed, and then sharing problem solving tactics with them.  

For younger children, help them label their feelings, since they may not have the words to express their emotions.  One coping skill is to set small goals, like setting aside 15 minutes for a dedicated activity to get children invovled.  Involve praise, and positive reinforcement.

“Let’s say, oh, my child’s in bed all day, and they don’t want to do anything. A small goal can be 15 minutes of a fun activity, and then you really want to focus on the praise and making it feel good, because what, what really Battles depression is that positive reinforcement,” Hort adds.

And no matter what age you are…time outside in the sunlight can do a world of good.  Sunlight helps with seratonin levels, and has a positive impact on mood.

Snow Thursday evening to Friday morning

KRDO on January 8, 2026

Mackenzie Stafford

TODAY: We are tracking a cold day Thursday as a cold front moves into southern Colorado. An initial round of precipitation will move in to the region early Thursday morning. This will create light snow showers for those in higher elevations and rain showers for those closer to the eastern plains. A second round of precipitation will move into the region in the evening bringing snow and heavy snow for some later this afternoon and evening.

TONIGHT: Snow will continue to fall Thursday evening becoming more widespread by about 11 p.m. We also drop down to a low around 20 degrees in Colorado Springs tonight. This will create potentially slick and icy roads overnight into Friday morning.

EXTENDED: As the most recent data shows the snow moving into southern Colorado later, we can expect some snow Friday morning, pushing south and clearing out by the afternoon. Strong winds are also expected Friday morning causing potential visibility issues due to blowing snow.

    BELL COUNTY, Kentucky (WLEX) — A mother’s plea for justice echoes through Bell County 34 years after her daughter’s brutal murder remains unsolved.

Greta Renee Henson was just 24 years old when she was found dead in her Middlesboro home on January 7, 1992. The young woman, described by her mother as “good-hearted” and “beautiful,” was discovered bound and gagged with two gunshot wounds to the back of her head.

34 Year Murder Case Unsolved Bell County family seeks answers in daughter’s 34 year old unsolved murder By: Kayleigh Randle Posted 6:12 PM, Jan 07, 2026 and last updated 1 hour and 17 minutes ago BELL COUNTY, Ky. (LEX18) — A mother’s plea for justice echoes through Bell County 34 years after her daughter’s brutal murder remains unsolved.

Greta Renee Henson was just 24 years old when she was found dead in her Middlesboro home on January 7, 1992. The young woman, described by her mother as “good-hearted” and “beautiful,” was discovered bound and gagged with two gunshot wounds to the back of her head.

“She was a good girl. She’s nice, kind. Good-hearted. She was really good-hearted,” said Josephine Henson, Greta’s mother.

The discovery haunts Josephine to this day. She and Greta’s father found their daughter’s body when they walked into the home that January morning over three decades ago.

“We went in and found it. It was awful, I mean, it was awful. I had this awful feeling. It was like I was gone or something or lost or something. I don’t know, it was an awful feeling,” Josephine said.

According to state police, Greta was found with her hands and feet tied. She had been shot twice in the back of the head with what investigators believe was her own revolver. The murder weapon has never been recovered.

Despite the passage of 34 years, no arrests have been made in connection with Greta’s death. Her killer remains free.

“I guess it’s not that easy sometimes. But I believe they will be brought to justice. I believe they won’t get away from God you know. They can’t run from God,” Josephine said.

The loss has left an irreplaceable void in Josephine’s life.

“You just miss her. I’ve had times where I feel like in a room or sitting in a room or something there and close to me,” she said.

Josephine believes her daughter’s murder was premeditated and suspects the killer may have known Greta personally. However, police have been unable to identify or arrest a suspect.

Now, Josephine is making a public appeal for anyone with information to come forward.

“If they know anything about who murdered my daughter. I want them to come forward….she deserves justice. She needs justice over here in Middlesboro,” Josephine said.

If you know someone or something connected to the unsolved case, you can contact Kentucky State Police Post 10 or anonymously submit a tip.

Two women honored for heroic rescue attempt during deadly Snake River boating accident

CNN Newsource on January 8, 2026

    TWIN FALLS, Idaho (KIVI) — More than four months after a tragic boating accident on the Snake River claimed the life of a 19-year-old man, two women who risked their lives attempting a rescue have been recognized for their heroism.

Madison Moorefield and Bree-Anna Ferrell received the Distinguished Civilian Service Award from the Twin Falls County Sheriff’s Office during a ceremony that fell on what would have been victim Landon Wade’s 20th birthday.

The accident occurred on Aug. 31, 2025, when Wade and Andrew Hauser were thrown from their boat after hitting a wake on the Snake River.

Moorefield was kayaking nearby when she witnessed the men fall into the water.

“There was nothing in their way; they weren’t being dumb. They literally just hit a wake and went in,” Moorefield said.

She immediately paddled toward the men as fast as she could. During what she said, felt like an eternity, she watched Wade, who was fully unconscious, being held up by his hair by Hauser, who was starting to drown himself while trying to save his friend.

As Moorefield reached the scene, fellow kayaker Ferrell also paddled over to help. Together, they secured Hauser, who was still conscious. Ferrell then dove into the water, attempting to reach Wade, who was sinking.

“There was no thinking, there was just doing,” Ferrell said. “There’s somebody in the water that needs help, I want to be that help.”

The stretch of the Snake River where the accident occurred is approximately 20 feet deep with dark, murky water, making diving extremely difficult for anyone without proper equipment. Despite their efforts, the women were unable to reach Wade.

“I thought that I had him, and he just kept slipping from me, and so watching him dive down that was the hardest part,” Ferrell said.

Moorefield said that not being able to reach Wade is what “eats me alive the most.”

Sgt. Ken Mencl, who was on marine patrol that day, praised the women’s extraordinary actions.

“To see two women on kayaks risk their lives and paddle out, and do what they did, is extraordinary,” Mencl said.

He noted that the women’s information and assistance made it possible for crews to quickly recover Wade’s body. Their willingness to help in a tragic situation stood out to law enforcement.

“It’s not common for people who see somebody in a tragedy to stop and to risk their own life to help somebody that’s needing it,” Mencl said.

Wade’s family was able to join the ceremony by video from California. The timing of the recognition ceremony on Wade’s birthday held special meaning for those involved.

“The fact that his parents showed up today was amazing. The fact that today is Landon’s birthday, I felt like I got to share that day with him,” one of the honorees said.

The Twin Falls County Sheriff’s Office offers regular boating safety classes for the public.
