ucius Fox continues to earn accolades at each step of his minor league progression with the latest coming in the form of recognition by the Arizona Fall League. Fox was named to the West roster of the league’s 13th Annual “Fall Stars” game, a showcase for several of the game’s top prospects. The Fall Stars game will be hosted Saturday at Surprise Stadium in Arizona, the spring training home of the Texas Rangers and Kansas City Royals. MLB Network will broadcast the game live at 8pm local time and MLB. com will stream the contest live. The game will feature 12 of MLB Pipeline’s Top 100 prospects and seven, including Fox, also played in the SiriusXM All-Star Futures Game. The 21-year-old shortstop is hitting .327 for the Peoria Javelinas with a .439 OBP, an .839 OPS in 13 games. Fox has 18 hits including one double, one home run, collected nine RBIs, six stolen bases and 12 runs scored – tied for third in the league. Fox advanced to the Double-A level for the first time when the Rays assigned him to the Montgomery Biscuits this season. In 27 games with the Biscuits, Fox hit .221 with a .284 OBP, four stolen bases, 23 hits, three doubles, one triple, nine RBI and 14 runs scored. He previously spent 91 games with the Charlotte Stone Crabs of Single-A Advanced of the Florida State League. He hit .282 with a .724 OPS, .371 OBP, 23 stolen bases, 99 hits, 17 doubles, one triple, two home runs, 30 RBI and 54 runs scored. He was named to the Florida State League’s Southern Division All-Star Team at the midseason classic. “Going to Double-A in August, for that one month,you learn a lot,

Fox has been named to the West roster of the league’s 13th Annual “Fall Stars” Game, a showcase for several of the game’s top prospects. and it’s not the ability anymore, it’s about the mental part of the game. I was able to see that for a month, and that helped me,” Fox told MLB.com. “This opportunity has blessed me with the teammates that have been in Double-A and Triple-A and being able to see what they do before the game, how they prepare, what they think about pitchers, how they think about the game, it all makes me a better player. I’m taking it all in and learning something new every day.” Fox said the AFL is serving as a proving ground to sharpen his skills and improvement as he looks to further progress in the Rays organisation.

“Being closer to the big leagues, you want to almost be perfect with your throwing -- you don’t have time to figure it out up there,” he said. “Just working on stealing more bases and hitting -- working counts better, taking pitcher’s pitches, swinging at my pitches and being more disciplined.” The rosters have been announced for the game, but Jazz Chisholm was also listed on a special online ballot with the opportunity to be named as one of two additional players. The Final 2 Fan Vote, presented by Bowman Baseball Cards, concluded voting yesterday with the announcement of the winning players still pending.

BAHAMIAN basketball players at the collegiate level in Canada began seasons in their respective conferences this month and began their trek toward a CCAA National Championship Tournament berth. Samson Cleare has taken on a greater role with the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology (NAIT) Ooks this season as the team looks to contend in the Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference. Cleare has been named team captain in his final collegiate season and has averaged 14.8 points and 7.5 rebounds per game on 57 per cent shooting from the field. He opened the season with a 24-point, 12-rebound performance against Lakeland College. In the second game of the back-to-back he finished with 13 points and four rebounds. In the second series of the season, Grand Prairie Regional College Wolves, Cleare posted games of nine points, 10 rebounds and 13 points, four rebounds. Last season, he averaged 12.3 points and 8.1 rebounds per game. Cleare entered this season ranked sixth in rebounds in NAIT history with 354. The school record is currently held by Sebastian Cava with 512. The Ooks finished last season with a 16-8 regular season record which placed them 2nd in the ACAC North Division. After defeating the RDC Kings in the quarter-final round, the Ooks would find themselves matched up with the No.1 seed and host SAIT Trojans.

Buddy grabs career high 11 rebounds for first double By RENALDO DORSETT Tribune Sports Reporter rdorsett@tribunemedia.net BUDDY Hield has been on a torrid stretch during the final week of October and his latest performance produced one of the best all-around games of his career and a fourth win for his Sacramento Kings. Hield finished with a season high 25 points and a career high 11 rebounds in the Kings’ 107-99 win over the Orlando Magic at the Amway Center in Orlando, Florida, on Tuesday night. It was his fourth straight game scoring at least 20 points and was also the first double double of his NBA career. Hield shot 9-15 from the field, added three assists and was a perfect 6-6 from the line in 39 minutes. “Just trying to help the bigs out rebounding. That effort shows on the stat sheet. We need extra bodies down there and once I get it we can push the ball and that makes us harder to guard if me or Fox gets it out on the break and people fill the lanes or spots up to shoot it.” The Kings outrebounded the Magic 51-48 on the evening. It was the third time in four games that they have posted 50 or more rebounds in a game.

Hield scored six points in a 13-2 run to close out the third quarter, and the Kings held on to match their longest winning streak since February 2017. “We had a great training camp, it didn’t show in the preseason at times, but we know what we’re capable of doing,” Hield said. “It just takes a while until we click and we’re clicking at a good time, so we just have to keep rolling and playing together.” Hield’s jumper with 1:28 left to play gave the Kings a 10-point lead (101-91). “We got six stops in a row,” said coach David Joerger, referring to a three anda-half minute sequence after their 13-point lead was cut to three. “We had to get some stops and we got those stops. We locked back in and made some plays.” Since he posted a season low five points in an October 23 loss to the Denver Nuggets, Hield has averaged 23.2 points and 7.8 rebounds while shooting 43 per cent from three-point range in 38 minutes per game. The Kings have also won four consecutive games in that time span. The last time the team won four straight was February 14, 2017. “It shows our poise, it shows our maturity, we’re just going to keep learning as we go. I can’t lie to you, we’ve never been in this

situation before, but it’s fun to see us have coach call a play and we execute. Even when we don’t execute we’ve been figuring a way to get it going and get in our spots to get continuity in our offence,” Hield said. “We just have to stay humble, we can’t let this get to our heads. Stay in the film room, watch film, try to fix our weaknesses and, most of all, have fun. We have to have fun, this is our job. The fans’ spirit has been down for a while so we have to try to build it back up.” Following the Nuggets game, Hield had 23 points and seven rebounds in a 97-92 win over the Memphis Grizzlies. He followed with 22 points and five rebounds in a 116-112 win over the Washington Wizards and 23 points and eight rebounds in a 123-113 win over the Miami Heat. “Next guy up is our mentality. The next guy makes the right play and we play for each other. We use our playmaking ability to our advantage and we grow just by seeing each other succeed on the court,” Hield said. “It started in the offseason. We came in with the mindset that we have to mature, grow up and buckle down the last five minutes of the game. We still make mistakes down the stretch, we just have to keep learning to make it work.”

Battle of Bay Area is more like skirmish for high draft pick By BARRY WILNER AP Pro Football Writer THE Battle of the Bay Area in prime time is more like a skirmish for a high pick in next April’s draft, perhaps even the first overall selection. Yep, that’s how bad the Raiders and 49ers have been so far. When they meet in Santa Clara, California, tonight, how much of the nation will show interest is problematic. How much the folks by the bay and its environs would care is debatable. The 49ers (1-7) are ranked 31st in the AP Pro32, ahead of only the Raiders (1-6). San Francisco is a 3-point favourite over its neighbour. “We’re looking for more consistency. We’re looking for somebody to step up, not only on game day but during the week,” says Raiders coach Jon Gruden, whose return to his dream job has turned very sour. “We’re still working through who are the best corners, who is the best combination for us in every situation. Hopefully we can settle on it soon.” The Niners would settle for any sort of victory. My goodness, they’ve been swept by Arizona, which hasn’t beaten anyone else. At least they have been close in many of their defeats. “It’s something we’ve got to do to get better and

DAVIE, Florida (AP) — DeVante Parker was 15 yards beyond intended receiver Jakeem Grant when things got weird. A defender’s hit redirected the pass, which was dislodged from Grant’s arms as he gathered it in. The ball sailed directly to Parker, who alertly made the catch for a bizarre 46-yard gain . “It shocked me,” Parker said. “I was just in the right spot at the right time.” That’s a refreshing change for the Miami Dolphins receiver, and perhaps a sign of changing fortunes. Parker has been an unlucky underachiever since he was drafted with the 14th overall pick in 2015. This season the injuryprone Parker has missed five games because of finger and quadriceps issues, and he hopes to play two weeks in a row for the first time Sunday against the New York Jets. He’s coming off one of his best games yet. Parker was a rare bright spot in Miami’s 42-23 loss at Houston last week, catching six passes for a career-high 134 yards — including the reception that ranked among the NFL’s goofiest grabs this year. “It felt good to be out there contributing,” he said. The Dolphins hope Parker can continue to give their injury-plagued offence a lift. They’ll be without quarterback Ryan Tannehill (throwing shoulder) for the fourth game in a row Sunday, and at Houston, the 6-foot-3, 215-pound Parker made backup QB Brock Osweiler look good. “DeVante is an extremely talented receiver,” Osweiler said. “He’s a big target, he’s physical, he plays hard. He did some great things for us against Houston, and I expect him to do some great things for us against New York. In fact, I expect him to play even better. I think DeVante is just getting rolling.” Parker’s statistics against the Texans could have been even more impressive, but Osweiler overthrew him in the open on a deep route. They worked on the pattern half a dozen times in practice Wednesday, and Osweiler found his target. “It was much better,” Osweiler said with a chuckle. “Hopefully we got that one cleaned up.” The Jets will be braced for Parker. He had eight receptions and a touchdown against them last year. “He’s a deep-ball threat, obviously, and he can go up and get the ball, and he can catch it over the middle,” Jets coach Todd Bowles said.

THOMAS (AP) Texas (5-3) when they visit the Broncos (3-5). “That’s weird, too,” Sanders said. “I know it’s going to be weird for him.” The Broncos talked about moving on without their former captain, but they just couldn’t avoid the void that was evident in the locker room and on the football field where his friendship, leadership and mentorship made his a profound presence. “I was sad,” quarterback Case Keenum said. “He’s going to be one of those guys I’m going to tell

my kids and hopefully my grandkids that I got to play with that guy. I got to throw the football to that guy. “Special. Special player. Special person. I wish him the best.” General manager John Elway said it was tough trading the team’s longesttenured player, but it freed up room both under the cap — $14 million in 2019 — and on the field for rookie receiver Courtland Sutton , the second-round draft pick who’s already shown big play ability. “We think he’s ready to go,” Elway said. “Hopefully this accelerates his maturity.” “I was definitely sad to see him go,” Sutton said, but he kept turning back to a piece of advice he received from Thomas: do your job lest you cost somebody his. “So, being put into this position, I have to make sure I’m producing every day in practice, film-wise and then of course every time we have a game,” Sutton said.

UB Mingoes forward Antwan Bevans heads to the basket against Calumet Saint Joseph players in University Park at the Governors State Tip-Off Classic on October 26. The Mingoes lost 82-77. Bevans scored eight points to go along with 10 rebounds in the loss.

UB Mingoes men’s basketball team opens the season with losses UNIVERSITY PARK, Illinois – The University of The Bahamas Mingoes men’s basketball team lost both games at the Governors State University Jaguars Tip-Off Classic over the weekend. Head Coach Bacchus Rolle said that despite the two losses the team still comes out a winner as there are core qualities that the team developed over the weekend tour. “We learn from this week that we have to trust the system even though we’re down,” he said. “We have a system and just because we’re being pressured it’s not the time to run away from the system. In fact because we are being pressured and it’s difficult is when you should lean on the system more and go away from individualism.” He added that the team also learned to trust their training. “We have to learn to trust the process and know that our system works because we’ve seen the success with it,” he said. “We should be able to turn this into wins down the stretch.” Coach Rolle said the team also gained a bit of cohesion on the trip because of the bonding time the team had. “As we leave Chicago to play in our homecoming games and the NPBA season the team has built that bond and togetherness that will pay off down the road. “We’ve seen some spots on the floor where we are a totally cohesive unit and we’ve seen sometimes where we are just playing hero ball and we’ve cooled that down because we’ve come together so great as a unit.” Governors State University is located in University Park - a village just south of Chicago.

FRIDAY NIGHT University of The Bahamas 77 Calumet St Joseph 82 JUSTIN Smith hit four three-pointers to lead the UB Mingoes with 16 points en route to losing the opening game of the Governors State University Jaguars Tip-Off Classic Friday night. The Mingoes led by as much at six points at one point in the game but lost focus in the last two minutes. Romero Cornish hit a three-pointer with 2:53 to go in the game to put the Mingoes up by four, 74-70. Calumet answered with a three-pointer from Core’von Lott to slice the UB lead to one at 74-73 with 2:31 on the clock. An exchange of free throws and a jumper with about 1:40 to go tied the game at 75 - the fourth tie of the game that also saw eight lead changes. Calumet caught fire with a 6-0 run to go up 81-75 with about 25 seconds to go and the Mingoes ran out of gas. “We strayed away from what we tried to do with the team concept and fell back on to a lot of individual play,” head coach Bacchus Rolle said. “We had some miscues and it just slipped away there at the end and it was a game we could have easily have won.” Ramon Dames and Romero Cornish put up 14 points to go along with eight assists from Dames. Antwan Bevans and Kemsy Sylvestre each had 10 boards as well. SATURDAY NIGHT University of The Bahamas 80 Governors State 98 THE Mingoes led the host team Governors State

Jaguars at the half 42-41 but it seemed as if the home team was determined to not lose their own tournament. Out of the first half, the Jaguars started raining threes on the Mingoes to go along with a 7-0 run with about 12 minutes to go to go up 10 on UB. Governors State never let go of the pressure after that and went on to win 98-80 Coach Rolle said it best: “The second half killed us.” “We went into the second half up and we knew those guys were not going to roll over and play dead and they came out with a lot of intensity, especially on the defence. “That intensity forced a lot of turnovers and unfortunately we made a lot of miscues and some really bad decisions with regards to passing that turned the ball that led to easy baskets and we lost focus on a few of their key players. They hit a lot of threes down the stretch that blew the game wide open.” In the loss, Justin Smith led the team with 25 points (six three-pointers). Kemsy Sylvestre added 24 points and eight boards. Antwan Bevans also had a strong showing with 13 points. Coach Rolle said the team has to stay in the game, especially when they start to go down. “We come from this game understanding the value of not giving up,” he said. “We had a rough first game with our starters logging a lot of minutes and had to come back the second night logging a lot of minutes. It’s difficult but we have to understand that we have to play through it.” The Mingoes next play the homecoming double header against The University of The Virgin Islands November 9-10 at The Kendal G L Isaacs Gymnasium.

College Football Picks: Showdown on Saturday to shape the CFP race By RALPH D RUSO AP College Football Writer THIS will probably be the best Saturday of the college football season. With four games matching top-15 teams, including No. 1 Alabama at No. 4 LSU, the stakes are high, the story lines intriguing and the playoff ramifications plentiful. Both Southeastern Conference divisions could be settled if Alabama wins because the winner of No. 6 Georgia at No. 11 Kentucky in the SEC undercard will be East champions. No. 12 West Virginia is at No. 15 Texas in a matchup of Big 12 contenders. The conference’s playoff chances could take a hit if the Mountaineers pick up a second loss. The Big Ten has a similar game at the Big House where No. 5 Michigan tries to stay in prime playoff position against No. 14 Penn State. Outside the ranked vs. ranked games, No. 7 Oklahoma faces a potentially tricky road test at Texas Tech. No. 3 Notre Dame is at Northwestern, with the Wildcats on a four-game winning streak. Why wait for the weekend? No. 9 Central Florida hosts Temple on Thursday night in a battle for first place in the American Athletic Conference East. On Friday night, No. 23 Virginia hosts Pitt with firstplace in the ACC Coastal on the line. Who would have expected that at the beginning of the season? No. 10 Ohio State plays its first game since losing to Purdue, with Nebraska (fresh off its first victory) coming to Columbus. No. 15 Utah could just about clinch its first trip to the Pac-12 championship game by beating Arizona State. There’s a lot going on.

REAL MADRID WINS IN 1ST MATCH AFTER FIRING COACH LOPETEGUI By TALES AZZONI AP Sports Writer MADRID (AP) — Real Madrid began life without Julen Lopetegui with a comfortable win in the Copa del Rey on Wednesday, when it was Barcelona that struggled to defeat a third-division opponent. Barcelona needed an injury-time goal to win 1-0 at Cultural Leonesa, while Madrid cruised to a 4-0 victory over third-tier Melilla in a first-leg match in the round of 32. Interim coach Santiago Solari was on the bench as Madrid won with goals from Karim Benzema, Marco Asensio, Alvaro Odriozola and Cristo Gonzalez in a match played in Spain’s small enclave in Africa. It was Madrid’s first game since Lopetegui was sacked on Monday, a day after the team was crushed 5-1 by Barcelona at Camp Nou Stadium for its fifth loss in seven matches in all competitions. “I’m happy because the team worked hard and showed character,” Solari said. “The players showed they are fully committed.” Benzema scored his sixth goal of the season from

close range after a low pass by Odriozola in the 28th minute, and Asensio added to the lead with a one-timer from near the penalty spot after a nice set up by youngster Vinicius Junior on the final play of a rainy first half. Vinicius Junior helped set up Odriozola’s 79th-minute goal, his first with the club. Odriozola then made the cross for the injury-time goal by Gonzalez, also his first with the main squad. Benzema was one of the few regular starters on the team, along with captain Sergio Ramos and goalkeeper Keylor Navas. Benzema and Ramos played only the first half, being replaced by Federico Valverde and Nacho Fernandez, respectively. Solari, who hasn’t been ruled out as a permanent replacement for Lopetegui, pleased fans in his debut by including Vinicius Junior in the lineup. Lopetegui had seldom used the 18-year-old Brazilian forward who arrived amid high expectations in the summer but had played mostly in the “B’’ squad. One of the best players in the match, Vinicius Junior nearly scored in the 72nd with a powerful

BARCELONA SURVIVES Ousmane Dembele led Barcelona’s reserves in a difficult match in northern Spain, and it was his cross from a set piece that led to Clement Lenglet’s winning header a minute into stoppage time. Cultural Leonesa challenged the four-time defending champions throughout the match and had a few good chances to break the deadlock. “We made some mistakes, but what was important was to win,” Lenglet said. “It’s was a good away result.” The hosts had midfielder Sergio Marcos sent off with a second yellow card after Barcelona’s goal.

(AP Photo/Javier Gandul) shot that struck the crossbar. Solari, who had been coaching Madrid’s B team, is a former Argentina midfielder who played for Madrid in the early 2000s. He helped the team win the 2002 Champions League, being involved in the play that led to

Zinedine Zidane’s superb winner in the final. “We are working as if Solari will be our coach for the rest of the season,” Madrid defender Fernandez said. “He knows the club, has experience. We are not the ones making these

decisions, so let’s see how it goes. “But he is a great coach,” he added. Among the other possible candidates to replace Lopetegui are former Chelsea manager Antonio Conte and Belgium manager Roberto Martinez.

OTHER MATCHES Girona conceded in the 88th but equalized six minutes into injury time to earn a 2-2 draw at Alaves in a match between top-tier teams. Valladolid, owned by former Brazil striker Ronaldo, cruised to a 2-1 win at second-division club Mallorca, while Getafe netted late to secure a 2-1 victory at Cordoba, another second-tier club. The return matches in the round of 32 are scheduled for December.

Nadal pulls out of Paris Masters, will lose No. 1 ranking By JEROME PUGMIRE AP Sports Writer PARIS (AP) — Returning from one injury to play at the Paris Masters, Rafael Nadal pulled out with another one. This time it wasn’t the troublesome right knee which had sidelined him since the US Open semifinals in early September, but rather an abdominal injury which just crept up on him. Given his history of injuries, Nadal listened to advice and did not play his second-round match against Fernando Verdasco yesterday. “The last few days I start to feel a little bit the abdominal, especially when I was serving,” Nadal said. “The doctor says that is recommended to not play, because if I continue the abdominal maybe can break and can be a major thing.” This latest injury will cost him his No. 1 ranking, which goes back to longtime rival Novak Djokovic next week.

Djokovic lost his top ranking to Andy Murray at the Paris Masters two years ago. As he then struggled to come back from a lingering elbow injury, the 31-year-old Serb’s ranking plummeted to No. 22 in May this year. But Djokovic has completely turned his form around, winning four of the last five tournaments he has entered, including Wimbledon, the US Open and most recently the Shanghai Masters. The 14-time Grand Slam champion’s brilliant comeback makes him the first player to reach No. 1 after being ranked below 20th in the same season since Marat Safin in 2000, according to the ATP Tour. Djokovic faces Damir Dzumhur in the third round, the first time they have played each other. For Nadal, it is the second straight year he has withdrawn from the Paris indoor tournament and he is not sure if he will play at the season-ending ATP

Asia swing to recover, missing tournaments in Beijing and Shanghai. “It has been a tough year for me in terms of injuries so I want to avoid drastic things,” Nadal said. “The doctor says if I want to play the tournament, I want to try to win the tournament, the abdominal with break for sure.” Nadal is optimistic his latest injury will pass, providing he does not rush back. “It would not be fair to say it’s a real injury today but what is sure, if I continue it will be a real injury,” he said. “When you come back after injuries, and you push a little bit, the body at the beginning some issues can happen.” Roger Federer also advanced to today’s third round after big-serving Milos Raonic retired before their match with a right elbow injury. Raonic injured himself during a three-set win against Jo-Wilfried Tsonga on Tuesday. “In the middle

I just go day by day,” the 17-time Grand Slam champion said. “The most important thing for me is to be healthy, be healthy and have the chance to compete weeks in a row. Something that I was not able to do this year,

playing only nine events and retiring in two.” Nadal has dealt with off-and-on knee problems for years and the 32-yearold Spaniard prefers to be cautious. At the US Open, he retired during his match against Juan Martin del Potro. He then skipped the
