Much hype has been made this year about the NFL draft of Zach Banner and Jamal Agnew – two young football players with Chamoru blood that has made the pinnacle of all football.
This past weekend, they crossed paths as Agnew’s Detroit Lions held off Banner’s Cleveland Browns 38-24 in Detroit.
Banner (OT) was activated for the first time this season after being held out of the first eight games of the season. Agnew (PR/CB), meanwhile, leads the league in punt return yards (347), punt return average (18.3) and punt return touchdowns (2).
Thanks to Zach for getting the photo for GSPN!

Guam’s Wayne Blas completed his 13th Boston Marathon and 38th marathon overall.
The island’s record holder in the distance, Blas finished this year in 2:35:21.
“I’m very happy with this result because seven months ago, I was sidelined with a stress fracture that kept me out for three months. No running! To come back on an abbreviated marathon build and finish one of the toughest races strong and healthy was a big win for me.”
His time of 2:29:38 at the 2023 Chicago Marathon and World Marathon Majors Age Group Championships stands as the Guam National Record.
