Breaking: Former Harmony pitcher Caden Scarborough officially signs with Texas Rangers, includes $515,000 signing bonus

If there was any question how bad the Texas Rangers wanted to get sixth round draft pick and former Harmony pitcher Caden Scarborough under contract, it was answered late last week. The Rangers reached contract terms with Scarborough – signing him to agreement that included a $515,000 bonus.

Scarborough became just the second of Texas’ 18-draft picks to reach agreement. Texas released the Scarborough signing moments after they announced that they came to terms with first round draft pick Wyatt Langford – a former University of Florida star who received a $7.69 million signing bonus.

Reached by phone on Wednesday night, Scarborough said he was not sure where or when the Rangers would assign him to his first professional location, but that he “was excited to start his professional baseball journey.”

“It’s been a crazy couple of weeks, but I’m glad it’s over and happy to officially be a Texas Ranger,” Scarborough said. “Wherever they want me to go, is fine – I’m just ready to go.”

Mihaka Saintelus had her sights set on college early in her high school career.

Her top three picks offered different experiences: Babson College in Massachusetts, which is one of the best undergraduate business schools in the country; Florida State University in Tallahassee, where she could experience the big state university experience; and New College of Florida, an honors college known for small classes and independent thinkers.

In high school – because of her good grades and test scores – Mihaka was already receiving advising and coaching from the Sunrise Scholars Foundation, an organization that provides free, comprehensive college counseling support to high-achieving underrepresented students in Florida.

Orlando Health: Cottage Cheese: The Protein Powerhouse That’s a Dreamy, Creamy TikTok Hit

More than 550 million views on TikTok can’t be wrong: Cottage cheese is hot. Blended into ice cream or bread dough or straight off the spoon, it’s fun to watch Gen Z discover the creamy goodness your grandmother loved.

But cottage cheese goes back further than that — curdled-milk cheese is mentioned in Homer’s Odyssey, and there’s evidence of its existence in the Middle East as early as 5,000 B.C. So why the hullabaloo now?

Some put it down to Americans’ insatiable taste for soft and creamy comfort foods. But cottage cheese has survived the eons for a good reason: It’s packed with protein. One cup can contain as much as 25 grams, the equivalent of a double cheeseburger. But as with that burger, there can be other things to be aware of, like the amount of salt and added sugar.
