USA Football will award nearly $2 million in grants for football equipment, field improvements and automated external defibrillator equipment  for youth, middle and high school football programs, the organization announced this week.

USA Football is the sport’s national governing body and a member of the U.S. Olympic Committee.

Applications are being accepted online through April 20 at 4 p.m. ET at usafootball.com/grants. Youth leagues must be 501(c)(3) compliant to be eligible.

Equipment grants are valued at up to $1,500 for youth organizations and up to $2,500 for high school programs and include equipment, uniforms, equipment reconditioning and flag football equipment, USA Football said. Plans are to award more than $1.5 million in equipment grants this summer based on “need, merit and a program’s commitment to coaching education and best practices,” according to a news release.

USA Football also will award eight $50,000 field-building grants based on merit and need. Municipalities, school systems and tax-exempt youth leagues are eligible for the grants with the money to be used toward the purchase of a synthetic field.

USA Football will award AED packages to five football programs for the organizations to keep the cardiac equipment on site. Sudden cardiac arrest is the leading cause of fatalities during exercise for U.S. children and teens.

Since 2009, USA Football as awarded more than $9 million in equipment grants and field-building grants and benefited more than 200,000 youth and high school players, according to a news release.

“With the strong support of our partners, USA Football’s grant programs help high schools and youth leagues continue to make positive differences in young people’s lives through the fun, fitness and inherent values of the sport,” USA Football Executive Director Scott Hallenback said in a statement. “Even with successful fundraisers and adhering to budgets, some organizations may find challenges in properly equipping their teams. We’re proud to help create great football experiences for the good of young athletes.”

In the days leading up to the McDonald’s All American Games in Chicago, USA TODAY High School Sports will be catching up with various players to talk about their experiences. In this entry, we talk to Cypress Lakes (Texas) center Nancy Mulkey, who has signed to play at Oklahoma.

Being in Chicago has been really fun. Getting to play with all the top players in the nation is exciting and getting to bond with everyone has been awesome. The whole thing has been a great experience. I’ve never been to Chicago.

Going to the Ronald McDonald House was my favorite thing we did and getting to spend time with everyone. The practices have been really intense. We do conditioning and we go over plays and then we scrimmage against each other. Getting to play against the top players makes me a better player and it makes other players better to go against me.

I don’t have a specific goal. I was looking on the McDonald’s website and I saw nine blocked shots was the record for girls. I’m trying to beat that. I just have to be aggressive and go after the ball.

A lot of people are asking me about the dunk with Josh Jackson. We were sitting next to each other before the whole thing happened. He was talking to me and told me he was in the dunk contest. I said, “Well, you want to dunk over me?” He was like, “I was going to ask you if I could if I make it to the final round.” It was like, “OK, cool.” I didn’t think he was going to do it. All of a sudden, he pointed at me going into the final and said, “Come here.” Even though he cleared me, my heart was racing. On the first one, I didn’t know he missed it and that he had it to do it again. My first thought was my head could cut get off here at anytime, but he made it. He cleared it pretty well. His arm was in the basket.

Everybody ran on the court just because I’m 6-9, and it’s not easy to jump over a 6-9 person. It was awesome. People were giving me high-fives and giving him high-fives.

I’m rooming with Erin Boley. Lauren Cox and Joyner Holmes from Texas and I’ll get to play with them even more in the Big 12 in Oklahoma. I’m really looking forward to that.

Two-time Olympian Candace Parker is heading to Rio in hopes of winning her third Olympic gold (Robert Hanashiro, USA TODAY Sports)

Six years ago, Candace Parker was selected as the No. 1 player overall in the WNBA Draft by the Los Angeles Sparks after a stellar career at Naperville (Ill.) Central and the University of Tennessee.

She’s won the WNBA Most Valuable Player award twice and the Rookie of the Year, been All-WNBA First Team four times and made the All-WNBA Defensive Team twice. She will attempt to bring home her third Olympic gold medal this summer in Rio.

And while she wants to win a WNBA title to complete her lengthy basketball resume, she already has an important title: Mom.

Parker, who turns 30 next month, and former Duke and NBA player Shelden Williams have a daughter, Lailaa, who turns seven in May. “As much as what I’ve given her, she’s given me 10 times more,” Parker said.

As part of Girls Sports Month, USA TODAY High School Sports spoke with Parker about being a mom, what continues to drive her, what she still wants to accomplish and what advice she has for young athletes.

MORE: Complete coverage of Girls Sports Month

Q: You were the Rookie of the Year and MVP in the WNBA in the same year in 2008. Only Wilt Chamberlain and Wes Unseld have done that in pro basketball history. Why were you able to have such a quick impact?

A: I think as a rookie coming in – it’s your year to play, your year to learn, your year to prove yourself.  That year I just remember having all those things and just trying to learn from my vets and get better every day.

Q: Is there something at a certain point during the year where it just clicks and you just know you’re able to play at your absolute peak?

A: I think it feels good when you get in your rhythm and your body feels good. Your shot’s going in. When you get into that mode, it’s a fun place to be.

Q: You won the dunk contest in the McDonald’s All American Game. You were the first woman to dunk in an NCAA Tournament game, the first woman to dunk twice in a college game and the second woman to dunk in the WNBA. But you obviously dunked before you did it in a game. What do you remember about the first time? 

A: I think I was more excited about dunking for the first time because I was 14 and my brothers didn’t dunk until they were 16. I was excited that I was able to do it before they did.

Q: What was it like growing up with your brother Anthony, who played in the NBA?

A:  I talk to Anthony every day. Still. He’s my hero. I look up to him. He’s the best guy and to have him as your hero growing up was a great role model to follow.

Q: At this point in your career, what do you still look forward to?

A: I want to win a championship.  I haven’t won a WNBA championship yet and it’s the last thing to check off the resume. I’m looking forward to the Olympics in Rio and hopefully we can win that fifth straight gold medal.

The other thing is just enjoying the journey.  My daughter is 6 now, so she knows mommy plays basketball. She’s not into sports, but she follows it a little bit so I just want to make her proud.

RELATED: Fever coach Stephanie White: ‘Be in the moment’

Q: What’s the No. 1 thing you can impart early on your daughter?

A: I really just tell her that you wake up every day with a choice – you can choose to be happy. … I just want her to enjoy the moment and I’m enjoying her.  As much as what I’ve given her, she’s given me 10 times more.

Q: You were a two-time winner of the Gatorade National Girls Basketball Player of the Year and then won the Gatorade National Female Athlete of the Year. You were back to present the award last summer. What was that like?

A: It felt extremely weird to see my name on the banners so far to the left – and as the years are passing we’re going right so it felt a little strange. I felt old.  … Being on the stage and presenting, I remember sitting in the stands and out there waiting for the Gatorade Player of the Year to be called.  And just the excitement.  To realize this isn’t an ending point, this is a starting point.  Your career is a blank slate and that has to be exciting.

Q: Your recruiting was very well chronicled before you selected Tennessee. What are some of your memories of that process? 

A: The thing I remember is just the amount of experiences that I had.  I was able and fortunate enough to go to different campuses and to meet different people and to really choose someplace that I wanted to go.  And I was really lucky from that aspect because I think a lot of people don’t get to choose where they want to go.  I really took in that process and built great relationships over the years because of it.

Q: As someone who has maximized her potential, what would you say to young athletes about maximizing their potential?

A: Enjoy the moment, experience it, take a lot of pictures and snapshots in your head because it goes fast. (Olympic sprinter) Allyson Felix is a really close friend of mine. We met in 2003 at the Gatorade Player of the Year event, and 12 years later hanging out in LA, she comes to my daughter’s birthday parties. She comes over and gets killed at cards with me and my husband (laughing), but it’s fun to build these type of relationships. Honestly, the awards and honors are fantastic, but I think what you get so excited about is the relationships you build because of them.

Gorjok Gak (Photo: 247 Sports)

Australian center Gorjok Gak, who played for Victory Rock Prep (Bradenton, Fla.) has received his release from Oklahoma State days after Brad Underwood was hired as coach, he announced on Twitter. He will reopen his recruitment with the spring signing period set to start in two weeks.

Underwood, who led Stephen F. Austin for three seasons, replaced Travis Ford, who was fired this month after eight seasons with the Cowboys. Victory Rock coach Loren Nelson told The Tulsa World last week Gak was likely to look elsewhere following Ford’s firing.

He had considered UConn, Florida, Missouri and Nebraska, according to Rivals.com, before signing with Oklahoma State in November.

The 6-11 Gak is ranked as the No. 10 player in the state of Florida by ESPN.com. He was a key part of a Victory Rock team that won The Grind Session National Championships event last weekend.

After setting national high school indoor records at one and two miles and 1,500 meters already this season, Hunter is a serious threat to the outdoor records at those distances. Only two high school boys have run faster miles than Hunter’s 3:57.81 indoor record. Both were outdoors: 3:53.43 by Alan Webb, South Lakes (Reston, Va.) in 2001, and 3:55.3 by eventual world record breaker Jim Ryun of East (Wichita, Kan.) in 1965.

Amir Coffey led Hopkins to the 6A state title in Minnesota, the first crown the usually dominant program has won since 2011.

His college destination is within his home state, having signed with the University of Minnesota.

But before he becomes a Gopher, Coffey will be on his way to New York to take part in the Jordan Brand Classic. Coffey received an honorary banner Wednesday as part of the Jordan Brand Classic Senior Night Tour presented by American Family Insurance.

The game is April 15 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.

“This is my first nationl all-star game and playing in a game with all these guys is probably the most exciting thing I’ve accomplished so far,” he told news reporters. “Some of the best players in the world played in this game when they were in high school — Carmelo, Durant, all those guys — so it’s pretty cool.

RELATED: See who else is going to the Jordan Brand Classic

Coffey, a 6-7 small forward, is ranked as the No. 32 player overall in the ESPN 100 and in the top 10 at his position.

The state title capped a tumultuous time in which he missed most of his junior season with a torn knee ligament and then pushed through injuries as a senior, including a banged-up tailbone suffered in the state quarterfinals.

Despite the pain, Coffey went out and scored 19 points with six rebounds and three assists in a 64-55 victory against Lakeville North in the state title game.

“I worked hard to get back with a lot of physical therapy and working hard in the gym with weight training and getting better as a player,” he said. ” (When I was rehabbing) I imagined some of the success but not as much as I’ve had.”

When: 6 p.m. ET, Thursday

TV: ESPNU

About Findlay Prep: The Pilots are 28-1 and riding a 10-game winning streak, entering the tournament. Their lone loss was in late January to Nevada rival Bishop Gorman (Las Vegas) 77-71 in the Big City Showdown. The Pilots have wins against two other teams in the field, beating Wasatch Academy (Utah), 79-61 in mid-December in Las Vegas and St. Benedict’s Prep (N.J.) 91-76 at the HoopHall Classic in Springfield, Mass. Wasatch and Findlay would meet in Friday’s semifinals if both schools win Thursday.

All-American Alterique Gilbert led Miller Grove to a Georgia state title (Photo: Miller Grove basketball)

Findlay Prep has been in the DICK’S/National High School Invitational every year since its inception, winning titles in 2009, 2010 and 2012 but has not been to the championship game since.

Findlay Prep is led by a stellar junior class that includes five-star power forward PJ Washington, ranked among the top 25 players in the Class of 2017; guard Markus Howard, who was the state of Arizona’s leading scorer last season before transferring to Findlay; and forward Tristan Clark, a Baylor signee. But the senior class is strong too with shooting guard Carlos Johnson, a UNLV commit signee and point guard Skylar Mays, a Baton Rouge native who is returning home to play for LSU.

About Miller Grove: Coach Sharman White took his team back to the top of the mountain with its seventh state title in eight years. Miller Grove beat Allatoona (Acworth) 50-48 to win the Class AAAAA crown.

This will be the program’s first appearance at the DICK’s Nationals because Georgia’s state association previously did not allow teams to play beyond the state finals. Wheeler (Marietta, Ga.) opened the door last year for Georgia schools when the state approved its participation. “Our ultimate goal has always been to win a Georgia state championship and we know without that accomplishment, we would not have received this invitation,” White wrote in his monthly blog for USA TODAY High School Sports. “Participating in the DICK’s National tournament does not in any way overshadow our state championship, it only enhances it.”

When you talk about Miller Grove, the conversation starts with McDonald’s and Jordan Brand All-American Alterique Gilbert, a point guard heading to UConn. Gilbert was named American Family Insurance ALL-USA Second Team this week. He leads a team that has four other seniors play prominent roles: forwards Colin Young and Raylon Richardson and guards Naquante Hardy and Aidan Saund.

What to expect: The nightcap of Day 1 should provide an interesting matchup with a Findlay Prep team that averages more than 100 points per game and usually is way ahead by halftime. Miller Grove hit 100 three times this season but has been a good defensive team and has been in more close games if it comes down to the end. A backcourt duel between high-scoring Gilbert and Howard could ignite the crowd.

Josh Jackson from Prolific Park (Napa, Calif.) and Frank Jackson from Lone Peak (Highland, Utah) shared MVP honors Wednesday night at the McDonald’s All American Game in Chicago.

Josh Jackson had 19 points, shooting 9-for-11 from the field, and had four rebound and three assists.

The Duke-bound Frank Jackson had 16 points and was 6-for-10 from the field overall and 5-for-7 from three.

The finals rosters and team designations have been set for the Jordan Brand Classic on April 15 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y., officials said.

In all, 21 players were selected with Duke signee and No. 1 overall player Harry Giles selected but unable to play because of a knee injury.

Four Kentucky signees are in the game, with two on each team. Malik Monk and Wenyen Gabriel will play for the West team with Bam Adebayo and De’Aaron Fox suiting up for the East. Future Michigan State teammates Cassius Winston and Miles Bridges are both on the East while future Duke teammates Frank Jackson and Jayson Tatum will be on opposite sides (Jackson is on the West and Tatum is on the East).

Shamorie Ponds from Thomas Jefferson figures to have the homecourt advantage, playing in his hometown of Brooklyn. He recently committed to St. John’s.

The 39th installment of the McDonald’s All American Games were Wednesday night, with the West winning the boys game, 114-117. Josh Jackson, from Prolific Prep (Napa, Calif.), was named co-MVP with Duke signee Frank Jackson (Lone Peak, Highland, Utah).

Behind its tournament victory in the Gulf Coast Classic II, Curry (Jasper, Ala.) remains atop this week’s USA TODAY High School Sports/National Fastpitch Coaches Association Super 25 softball rankings.

Auburn-bound senior pitcher Ashlee Swindle earned nine wins over the course of the tournament — including five on the final date — while allowing only 18 hits and threw three shutouts. She already has 162 strikeouts on the season with a 0.38 ERA.

In nine wins, Curry outscored the opposition 63-9. Justus Perry batted .800, Kaylee Horton hit .739, and Emily Aaron hit .579. The trio combined for 31 RBI during the tournament.

The final game was a 2-0 victory against Westminster Christian (Huntsville, Ala.). Those teams figure to see each other again. Curry is the No. 1 4A team in the state; Westminster Christian was No. 2.

Rounding out the top five are No. 2 Etiwanda (Calif.) – which will face a strong Norco (Corona, Calif.) team this week – No. 3 Oakleaf (Orange Park, Fla.), No. 4 Crown Point (Ind.) and No. 5 LaGrange (Texas).

The Kissimmee Klassic Softball tournament kicks off this week in Florida, meaning some shuffling could be coming. Oakleaf, No. 18 Newsome (Lithia), No. 25 North Fort Myers and Gainesville, which was ranked earlier in the season, are all in the tournament field.

Five newcomers join the rankings: No. 16 Clovis (Calif.), No. 17 Reed (Sparks, Nev.), No. 19 Penn (Mishwaka, Ind.), No. 20 West Forsyth (Clemmons, N.C.) and No. 22 Eastlake (El Paso, Texas).

The Super 25 will be released every Thursday through June 9.

About Riverdale Baptist: The Lady Crusaders (36-3) return to New York in hopes of winning their third DICK’s Nationals — their last title was in 2014 — and bring Kaila Charles, who might be the best individual player in the event. Charles spent the early part of the week in Chicago for the McDonald’s All American Game. Charles, a 6-1 forward heading to Maryland, is ranked No. 25 in the ESPNw HoopGurlz rankings. She has posted 25 doubles-doubles this season. Riverdale Baptist will play defense from opening tip to buzzer and has allowed an average of 46 points per game.

Riverdale has size with the 5-11 Charles, 6-1 Georgetown signee Morgan Smith and 6-1 Mangela Ngandjui, who averages a double-double with 10 points and 11 rebounds. Smith averages 10 points per game. Teyjah Oliver is a threat from the perimeter and has signed with East Carolina.

About St. Francis: The school is the first girls team from Georgia to play in the DICK’s Nationals after the state association set the precedent last spring by allowing the Wheeler (Marietta) boys to compete. The starting five are four juniors and a sophomore so this might be just their first appearance and not their only appearance. Maya Dodson, a 6-1 forward, is ranked No. 11 in the ESPNw Hoop Gurlz 60 and is being recruited by Connecticut, South Carolina, Stanford, Notre Dame, Maryland, Duke and Tennessee, among others. Kasiyahna Kushkituah is a 6-3 junior ranked No. 5 in the ESPNw 60 and averages 11 points and eight rebounds. Jala Jordan, a 6-1 sophomore, is the team’s leading scorer at 14 points per game and has 13 doubles-doubles this season. And if you want to see a familiar name, the daughters of former NBA player Theo Ratliff — Yasmen and Alexis — come off the bench and are 6-4.

What to expect: Riverdale Baptist has played a difficult schedule and has been battle-tested. The question here is whether St. Francis can slow down Riverdale’s attempts to force turnovers and speed up the pace using its full-court pressure defense. Riverdale Baptist has been to the DICK’s Nationals before, but key players Charles and Morgan Smith transferred in this season. As is always the case at this tournament, big-time recruits are on both sides. Riverdale has a slight edge.

In the 400 hurdles, McLaughlin has set the freshman (55.63) and sophomore (55.28) class records the past two years and will now target the junior class and national record of 55.20 set 32 years ago by Leslie Maxie of Mills (Millbrae, Calif.). McLaughlin is on target after setting the 400 meter (flat) record indoors in March at the New Balance Nationals, running 51.84 to top the mark of 51.93 set in 2006 by last year’s top Diamond League pro 400 runner Francena McCorory while at Bethel, Hampton, Va.

Marshall destroyed the indoor 60-meter hurdles high school record at the New Balance Nationals, setting marks of 8.08 in the semis and then 8.01 in the finals, while also getting the 55-meter mark at 7.46 en route and garnering athlete of the meet honors.
