Aviators Soar Back from the Brink!

In a heart-pounding Week 9 clash on May 23 at Historic Crew Stadium, the Columbus Aviators unleashed a furious late-game comeback to stun the Birmingham Stallions 36-29!

Birmingham looked in control for much of the day, building a late 29-21 lead behind solid running and timely throws from Dorian Thompson-Robinson. But the Aviators refused to quit.

Enter Jalen Morton in his first start — pure magic. The dual-threat QB torched the Stallions with his arm and legs, engineering a game-tying drive from their own 9-yard line. He capped it with a heroic rushing TD, followed by a jaw-dropping two-point conversion catch by Keke Chism to knot it at 29-29 with under four minutes left.

Then came the dagger. On Birmingham’s next possession, cornerback D.J. Miller Jr. jumped a route and raced 36 yards for a game-sealing pick-six, sending the home crowd into absolute frenzy!

Columbus improved to 3-6 and kept their playoff dreams breathing, while the Stallions dropped to 4-5 in a brutal collapse. What a thriller — Morton’s performance and that defensive strike turned a likely loss into one of the most exciting wins of the UFL season! 🏈🔥

Emotional post!!! 😢
When I found out my mom was pregnant with my sister, I thought it was crazy because of how far they were into life. I distinctly remember saying my father wouldn't be around to see her graduate high school due to how much older he was. I'm glad I was wrong. Last night my little sister became the second personal in our family to graduate college (after myself). I chose not to walk across the stage when I did, because I diminished the fact that it was an Associate Degree (self esteem issues I've always struggled with). Sitting inside The Marion Palace last night for her ceremony, I then realized I was wrong again and realized I missed out. Everyone, from all walks of life and all ages, rather it was a recent high school grad who went straight to college, military vets, those in their 40s, or some much older, were all there being recognized for their achievement and to walk across the stage. But what hit me the deepest was the fact that despite my father's health and being 80 years old, he was not only able to stick it out and see my sister graduate high school, but college also, along side our grandmother, our mom, and siblings. That moment in itself meant the world. I am so very proud of her navigating life through her racing, her job, and college to get to this point and obtain her Associate of Applied Science in Radiologic Technology. The world is a big place and I wish you nothing but the best and Im so grateful we were all able to sit there last night and see it all come together. Love ya sis 💙.

With all of that said, I had to come out of sport mode to do some cap and gown photos for her!

UFL matchup between the Houston Gamblers and Columbus Aviators ended in a 24–17 win for Columbus, fueled by a dominant first half and timely defensive stops late.
Columbus surged early, putting up 21 first-half points and forcing Houston to play from behind the rest of the night. The Gamblers stayed competitive, but injuries at quarterback and stalled drives kept them from completing the comeback.
A strong defensive stand from Columbus, kept the ball in the offenses possession to control the game where they ran 67 plays to Houstons 37. Columbus combined efficient quarterback play from McClendon with a fast start, while Houston’s injuries and inconsistency under center proved too much to overcome in a 24–17 result.

A look into the Columbus Crew vs Orlando City Soccer match up

Orlando City secured their first road point of the 2026 MLS season with a hard-fought 1-1 draw against Columbus Crew on April 12, 2026. Marco Pašalić opened the scoring early for Orlando, but a late goal from Diego Rossi in the 80th minute salvaged a point for the Crew, who dominated possession.

Some of these will be on MaxPreps and SBLive in a natural color edit, but not all. Not sure when I'll get to those. Figured I'd switch it up compared to normal on this one though.
