Saturday Sports Update
Left: Curt Fischer has been a legendary high school sports coach in Chautauqua County for over 25 years. Since he began coaching at Maple Grove in 1992, he has been a part of five state championships -- two in football, two in boys basketball, and one in baseball. His run as a Red Dragon coach has come to an end; citing problems with a few parents that recently came to a head, Fischer announced his resignation on Thursday.

Right: American Lauren Davis provided plenty of entertainment on Friday in the best match of the Australian Open thus far. Davis gave top seed Simona Halep a run for her money in Melbourne. She won the first set 6-4, but then Halep won the second set 6-4 and outlasted Davis in a marathon third set, 15-13. Photo by EPA-EFE
