atrick Cantlay and Patrick Reed took a threestroke lead over the field and are tied atop the leaderboard following day one of the Hero World Challenge.

Both shot an opening round 65 (-7) at the Albany Golf Course.

Cantlay, a California native who played his collegiate golf at UCLA, has pledged to donate his earnings from the tournament - $500 per birdie – to victims of the California wildfires through “California Strong.”

“That’s a shocker. I closed strong. I think I birdied five out of the last six or something like that,” Cantlay said. “I saw that Jared Goff set up a charity

Executives eager to launch Handball Federation

By BRENT STUBBS Senior Sports Reporter bstubbs@tribunemedia.net BACK in 2013, the Bahamas Handball Federation was formed after Wellington Miller, then president of the Bahamas Olympic Committee, returned from a meeting in Mexico and the president of the International Handball Federation wanted to spread the sport out to countries in the Americas and Caribbean region.

Although they have met and held coaches’ courses here in the Bahamas for beach handball in 2014, Miller said the executive board, headed by himself, is now complete and they are eager to officially launch the BHF to the public.

Yesterday, he introduced the executive board to the media.

Working along with Miller, who also serves as the administrator and chief executive officer, are Lawrence Hepburn as first vice president, Rupert Gardiner as second vice president, Sean Bastian as secretary general and Dawn Knowles as treasurer/finance and funding.

“Sometimes you might be as good in the other sports, so we want to open up avenues and give more opportunities for our young people to participate in sports and at the same time obtain athletic scholarships to top colleges and universities. It’s a new sport. It’s very fast and very

THE 33rd edition of the Father Marcian Peters Basketball Classic is set to tip off in just over a week, featuring some of the top primary, junior and intermediate programmes.

Dozens of teams spread across six divisions will vie for their respective titles December 7-15 at the Kendal Isaacs Gymnasium.

To date, over 60 teams have registered for the week-long event, to be hosted by the Ministry of Youth, Sports, and Culture.

A total of 12 primary boys, five primary girls, 16 junior boys, five junior girls, 13 intermediate boys and 10 senior girls’ teams comprise the field.

In 2017, there were new champions in each division.

In the primary girls’ division, the Temple Christian Suns continued to dominate the group with another tournament title when they defeated the Catholic School champions St Thomas Moore 17-15.

On the primary boys’ side, the Teleos Cherubims defeated the St Francis and Joseph Shockers 21-17.

The Jordan Prince William Falcons junior girls had the most lopsided win of any championship title game with a 28-6 win over Freedom Baptist.

Contrastingly, the junior boys’ division had the closest finish of any title game when the DW Davis Royals got a late field goal as time expired to defeat the Falcons 36-34.

FERGUSON AND BEARCATS ARE ASSURED A BOWL GAME

By RENALDO DORSETT Tribune Sports Reporter rdorsett@tribunemedia.net

CHRIS Ferguson and the Cincinnati Bearcats are assured a bowl game this postseason and many pundits are speculating where the ‘Cats will end up when the full slate of games are unveiled this weekend.

Cincinnati finished the season 10-2, 6-2 in the American Athletic Conference after winning a combined eight games the last two seasons. It was their first 10-win season since 2012.

They await the results of the AAC Championship game between No.8 UCF and Memphis for their final placement in the conference and bowl selection.

PATRICK REED MOVING ON FROM RYDER CUP, SHARES BAHAMAS LEAD

By DOUG FERGUSON AP Golf Writer NASSAU, Bahamas (AP) — Patrick Reed and Tiger Woods are about as far apart as can be on the leaderboard after one round of the Hero World Challenge.

Only they know how close they are after the Ryder Cup fallout.

Reed showed no sign of fatigue in his travels from Dubai to Hong Kong to the Bahamas in successive weeks, making birdie on three of his last five holes yesterday for a 7-under 65 and a share of the lead with late-entry Patrick Cantlay.

Woods was never under par at any point and opened with a 73, eight shots behind, tied for 16th in an 18-man field.

Reed’s comments after Europe won the Ryder Cup still follow him. In a phone interview with The New York Times hours after the loss, Reed blamed Jordan Spieth for them not playing together, US captain Jim Furyk for twice leaving him on the bench and he made it sound as though he was stuck with Woods as a partner in Paris.

“We spoke after the Ryder Cup for a long period of time,” Woods said. “We talked among us and it will stay between us.”

This is one time Reed held his tongue.

After his eighth and final birdie in balmy weather at Albany Golf Club, he acknowledged nothing more than they had talked.

“Whatever I talk about with other players and

HERO WORLD CHALLENGE PAR SCORES

THURSDAY At Albany Golf Club New Providence, Bahamas Purse: $3.5 million Yardage: 7,309; Par: 72 (36-36) First Round Patrick Cantlay 34-31—65 -7 Patrick Reed 33-32—65 -7 Henrik Stenson 35-33—68 -4 Dustin Johnson 35-33—68 -4 Alex Noren 36-33—69 -3 Bubba Watson 32-37—69 -3 Justin Rose 35-35—70 -2 Justin Thomas 35-35—70 -2 Bryson DeChambeau 36-34—70 -2 Keegan Bradley 33-38—71 -1 Jon Rahm 36-35—71 -1 Jason Day 37-34—71 -1 Tony Finau 39-33—72 E Gary Woodland 37-35—72 E Rickie Fowler 37-35—72 E Xander Schauffele 36-37—73 +1 Tiger Woods 36-37—73 +1 Hideki Matsuyama 38-36—74 +2

other guys stays between the guys,” Reed said.

He also said he hasn’t spoken to Furyk, and Reed told the New York Post on Tuesday that he hasn’t spoken to Spieth, but that Spieth has his number.

“It’s been I don’t know how many weeks (since the Ryder Cup), but in the golf world, it’s been a long time,” Reed said. “All of us on our side have moved past that. Basically, when the tournament was over, all of us moved past it and we’re just kind of getting ready for hopefully two years.”

But there’s a Presidents Cup in between, next December in Australia, and while the intensity is not the same, the team concept is intact. And it could get even more awkward considering Woods is the captain.

“I don’t think anything needs to be resolved,” Reed said.

Reed is used to going about life is own way, and he’s not about to made any apologies. He just wants to play good golf, and there was plenty of that on a day that allowed for low scoring. All but three players were at par or better.

Woods was not one of them. His return to tournament competition didn’t start nearly as well as his last one ended.

The World Challenge is his first 72-hole event since he won the Tour Championship at East Lake on September 23, the end of a remarkable comeback season from a fourth back surgery that signalled Woods was capable of winning again.

Woods has been battling a fever. He says his ankles were sore from wear and tear, an issue he says has been around for a few months. On the golf course, he didn’t hit it close enough or make enough putts,

(AP Photo/Dante Carrer) leading to only his third round over par in his last 21 rounds.

Woods made consecutive birdies to get back to even par, and then it came undone on the par-3 12th when his tee shot went left, just inside a hazard line but still in play.

But the chip came out short, rolled down the bank and past his feet into the water. He took a penalty drop, got it on the green and missed the putt to take triple bogey.

“I had a little patch right behind the golf ball and I tried to toe it in there in trying to make sure I actually hit it long,” Woods said.

“It just didn’t come out, and it blew back in the hazard.”

What happens this week is of little consequence.

Most players, except for European Tour members who two weeks ago finished the Race to Dubai, haven’t played in a month and won’t play for another month when the new year starts in Hawaii.

Reed was an exception.

He is playing his 30th event of the year, which includes the Ryder Cup. He was runner-up in Dubai and middle-of-the-pack in Hong Kong, arrived in the Bahamas and found his swing in good order.

Cantlay hasn’t played since a 63-65 weekend in Las Vegas on November 4.

He was planning to take the rest of the year off, especially after going to Miami

the following week to have sinus surgery, giving him a couple of weeks without a club in his hand.

He had never been to the Bahamas, much less Albany, but figured out how to score. Cantlay’s big finish began with a 9-iron out of the waste area to 5 feet on the 13th. He also atoned for a bad drive on the par-5 15th by making a 25-footer, and he holed a 20-foot birdie putt on the 17th before finishing with a 9-iron to 12 feet.

He had the only bogeyfree round, and better yet, made seven birdies. Cantlay and Jon Rahm are donating $500 for every birdie this week to “California Strong” to help those affected by the wildfires.

Hero World Challenge: Reed, Cantlay take 3-stroke lead on day 1 FROM PAGE 1 deal, and I really feel for those people, just seeing the devastation. I mean, there are a couple different fires and seeing just the whole towns getting wiped out. Just doing a little bit to help, I felt like I could do it and I’m happy to help.”

After he finished the front nine at -2, Cantlay birdied holes 13-15, 17 and 18 to finish the afternoon.

“The golf course played much different today obviously with no wind or little wind compared to [the Pro-Am round]. Greens are really fast, and so I got going a little bit with the putter and made some putts,” he said. “I think anytime you can play against the best players in the world, and this field’s obviously small but it’s really, really strong, anytime you can do that and test your skills against the best in the world, I think it makes you a better golfer.”

In his last PGA Tour start at the Shriners, Cantlay racked up 26 birdies, second-most in the field.

Following that event he took several weeks off following deviated septum and sinus surgeries.

“I would be resting, I probably wouldn’t be playing golf, but I’m glad I’m here. I was looking forward to -- I knew I was on the edge for a while, so I was hopeful that I would get in and fortunately I did,” he said.

“Still trying to figure out the golf course. So I feel like I know it little better after today and really looking forward to playing the rest of the three days. It’s a fun event, Tiger’s a great host and I’m happy to be here.”

Reed birdied the first two holes of the day and recovered from his lone bogie of the day on eight to birdie hole nine for a lead at -3.

Reed followed with another four birdies on the back

nine, including No.18 to tie Cantlay.

“I went out there and did what I had to do. Kind of coming into today I felt like I was hitting the ball pretty solid. My coach and I, I was able to kind of get him in town this week and kind of fine-tuned some things compared to Dubai and Hong Kong, to kind of get him in town when it’s supposed to be windy, and when the wind dies down you have to attack this place, you have to make birdies,” Reed said. “To kind of putt the way like I

felt I did today as well as hit the ball and flight the ball how I wanted to was very positive because that was the biggest thing for today is, even though the wind was down, if you’re playing from a high window, then when the wind starts blowing, can you control your ball. I felt like I was able to play out of the windows I needed to today to shoot a low one.”

Reed has three previous top five finishes at Hero, tied for third in 2014, second in 2015 and tied for fifth in 2017.

“I love the place, I love the golf course, and any way to support Tiger as well as support the Hero Challenge is something I want to do.

I mean, my first time ever playing at Isleworth, played pretty solid there and I was able to play with Tiger that year. Then after that I’ve always wanted to make it in the event, tried to come out and play because it’s also a fun spot,” he said. “You know, last event of the year, kind of one of those kind of relaxing type events. Only have 18 guys, but at the same time it allows you to kind of get in that mode of seeing how your game is for the four weeks you’re going to have off until Hawaii.”

Henrik Stenson and Dustin Johnson are tied for third at 68 (-4) while Alex Noren and Bubba Watson are tied for fifth at 69 (-3).

Tiger Woods struggled on day one and is tied at No.16, 73 (+1). He double bogeyed No.12 but birdied two of his final four holes (15 and 18).

“I didn’t quite feel comfortable with my game today even though I drove it great. It was definitely reflective in my scoring today, I didn’t quite feel comfortable and just didn’t quite hit the ball close enough or give myself a lot of looks at it. It’s been a long last week or so. At least this tournament’s now started and we’ve got it underway, now I’m back into the rhythm of playing again, which is nice,” Woods said. “I would like to hit the ball a little bit closer than I did today. I didn’t hit the ball very close, and today was probably the easiest it’s going to be the entire week and I didn’t take advantage of these pretty benign conditions.”

Woods and Hero 2016 champion Hideki Matsuyama will be the first pairing in the field to tee off this morning at 11:15am.

Cantlay and Reed will be the final pair to tee off at 12:43pm.

Baseball needs to be played at the senior level again in the Bahamas THE performance of the under18 men’s national baseball team to the Pan American Baseball Confederation Championships in Panama showed what could and should be done under the newly alligned Bahamas Baseball Association.

The BBA, which saw the reamalgamation of all of the local associations and clubs under one umbrella, took its first national team off to compete in the championships last week. It was the first true representation of the national team that travelled in quite a few years.

While the results were not what they anticipated, head of delegation Marvin ‘Tougie’ Wood said it is encouraging as they look ahead to the future.

He assured the public that the team, which played without any of the professional players, would be able to at least make the playoffs if they get the opportunity to return to the tournament next year.

Sounds good.

I quite agree.

We have the talent, but as he also pointed out, it’s impossible to get the maximum out of the team if the players coming together from Grand Bahama and Abaco only get to practice a couple days before they travel.

Gone are those days of putting the team together at the last minute and hoping that they will gel and perform at their best on the international scene.

The BBA will have to find a way to ensure that the team is assembled months in advance and all efforts must be made for them to practice as a cohesive unit.

Hopefully, the new national baseball stadium will also be completed next year so that the association can utilise the proper playing field because I’m sure it was a cultural shock for those players who would have played in the venue that they did for the first time.

And although the BBA said their concentration would only be on the selection of the national team, they need to provide an avenue for the players to participate in a senior league programme.

These same under-18 players are going to be the future of the sport and in order for them to be able to compete at their best when they travel, they need to play more

games. The Bahamas Association of Independent Secondary Schools is not playing baseball and the Government Secondary Schools Sports Association has a season with just a handful of games.

Thank goodness for Freedom Farm and the Junior Baseball League of Nassau, who provide an opportunity for the older players to participate in a senior league programme.

But even those games are not sufficient.

There has to be a lot more games played in order for our teams to reach their ultimate performances whenever they get the opportunity to travel again.

Whether or not we have the professional players available or not, baseball just needs to be played in the Bahamas at the senior level again.

Seymour giving back For all those persons who have followed Anfernee Seymour’s career to the professional ranks, you would know that it was not an easy one.

But it’s so encouraging to see that despite all that he went through, Seymour has found the time to give back to help those young baseball players who are looking up to him and other pro players.

This weekend, Seymour will be hosting his first baseball camp at Freedom Farm in Yamacraw on Saturday and Sunday.

It’s the place where he got to hone his skills before he left St Augustine’s College to complete his high school at American Heritage in Delray Beach, Florida.

Now with the Miami Marlins’ organisation, Seymour is one of about 20 players who are playing minor league baseball. But he’s putting on the clinic to help develop some more players to follow in their footsteps.

Not many players take the time to come back and give back to the sport.

Seymour is one of those players that does and his efforts must be commended.

He’s also providing an opportunity for girls to develop their skills in softball with American Olympian Natasha Watley joining in to share her expertise in the sport.

Just as the young ball players need some more assistance in baseball, Watley is coming to provide that for the female softball players.

The clinic is scheduled to start at 10am on Saturday and 12:30pm on Sunday. It’s something that local baseball and softball players should take advantage of.

Well done Anfernee Seymour.

NPBA: Rockets top High Flyers 93-87

By RENALDO DORSETT Tribune Sports Reporter rdorsett@tribunemedia.net THE Sun Oil Rockets scored an early-season win over the defending Division II champions in the New Providence Basketball Association.

Crosley Wilmore led the Rockets with 22 points while Bertrum Minnis posted a double double with 19 points and 13 rebounds in the Rockets’ 93-87 win over the Breezes High Flyers. Cameron Chery scored 15 while Craig Gibson scored 11 for the Rockets. The High Flyers missed 20 free throws and

shot just 26-46 from the line, while the Rockets converted 23 on 33 attempts.

Dave Davis led the High Flyers with 18 points and 11 rebounds, Jeremy Neely scored 16 and Davonte Gibson added another double-double with 13 points and 12 rebounds.

Clinging to a two-point lead with less than a minute left in the fourth quarter, Chery made jumpers on consecutive possessions to seal the Rockets win.

The Rockets led 70-64 early in the fourth, but the High Flyers went on a 9-2 run to take the lead. A Hank Davis jumper gave his team a 73-72 lead near

the eight-minute mark and he followed with a layup on the ensuing possession to go ahead by four.

Their lead reached as much as seven on a Gibson free throw (81-74).

Crispin Gibson capped a Rockets run with a three pointer to regain the Rockets lead 86-85 with two minutes left. Breezes were outscored 7-2 down the stretch.

A poor shooting night from both teams, the Rockets were at just 37 per cent and 25 per cent from threepoint range. The High Flyers shot 41 per cent and just 15 per cent from beyond the arc.

active. So we’re hoping that we can get it into the schools and hopefully at the university level.”

With Knowles, who is in charge of the Primary Schools Sports Association for the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology, Gardiner, as a member of the Government Secondary Schools Sports Association and Bastian, a member of the athletic team at the University of the Bahamas, all on board, Miller said they are on the right track to achieving their goal.

“We have already put on seminars with coaches here and we intend to do more next year,” he said.

“We have a good management team put together and so we could do a lot of things.”

Hepburn has attended a series of meetings with the international body and he said they are looking to implement a lot of the programmes that they have received in pushing the sport forward here.

“Many of those initiatives will help us to grow the sport more rapidly,” Hepburn said. “Some of those initiatives are the invitation of other countries to come here and assist us with coaching courses and to allow our athletes to go into their countries so that they can develop their skills in handball.

“So those things, along with the newly developed North American Team Handball Federation, will assist us more quickly in getting more equipment and other resources for the development of the sport.

Recently, we had the separation in the Pan American Team Handball Federation and the Bahamas is now a part of the Northern Division, so we look to receive more readily support from

the international body to help us.”

In February, Hepburn revealed that the BHF will host another clinic, through the assistance of the regional body, to help them push the sport forward.

“We are going to be recriting teams because the Bahamas has been welcomed to bring their teams to the international community,” Hepburn stated.

“Thery’re not concerned about how many teams we have. They just want to see our participation and so the Bahamas is being welcomed to bring their teams.

“So we are going to be reaching out to the community as early as January for the formation of national teams. I think this is a good way to go.

“As you would recognise, this thing starts from the ground go up. This is from the federation level. So we are working our way down to the formation of associations and get more people exposed to the sport so that we can grow it.”

As one of the most exciting sports, according to Hepburn, who pointed out that it’s not the one where players knock the ball against the wall, but rather it’s team handball where there are more players involved.

He said it’s considered to be one of the most exciting sports to participate in Europe and it’s growing fast in the United States.

He said he just returned from a meeting in Chicago where the newly formed United States Handball Association has agreed to provide some assistance to the Bahamas in getting the sport up and running here.

“We’re receiving more attention now because this region is behind in getting its programme up and running,” Hepburn said.

Hepburn said they hosted a camp in the summer

where they had some players introduced to the sport, but with their executive board in place, they

Leonard scores 37, Raptors beat Warriors 131-128 in OT

By IAN HARRISON Associated Press

TORONTO (AP) — Kawhi Leonard scored a season-high 37 points, Pascal Siakam added a career-high 26 and the Toronto Raptors overcame a 51-point performance from Kevin Durant to beat the Golden State Warrirors 131-128 in overtime on Thursday night, extending their winning streak to seven.

Kyle Lowry had 10 points and 12 assists, Serge Ibaka scored 20 points and Danny Green had 13 as the Raptors snapped an eightgame losing streak against Golden State and won a contest billed as a potential NBA Finals preview.

Toronto improved its league-leading record to 19-4.

Durant scored 40 or more in three straight for the first time, finishing with his highest total of the season. He also had 11 rebounds and six assists.

Klay Thompson scored 23 points and Jonas Jerebko had 16 of his 20 in the fourth quarter and overtime, but Golden State lost

to Toronto for the first time since March 2014.

Lowry’s 3-pointer with 55 seconds to go in the fourth quarter put the Raptors up 119-113 but Durant replied with back-to-back 3s of his own, including a game-tying shot with 8.6 seconds left.

Leonard drove and kicked to Ibaka on the final possession, but the Raptors big man couldn’t get a shot off before the buzzer, sending the game to overtime.

Green hit a tiebreaking 3 with 2:07 left in the extra session, and Toronto added to its lead when Lowry stole the ball from Andre Iguodala, leading to a pair of free throws by Siakam.

Jerebko’s dunk cut the gap to three but Toronto caught another break when Iguodala was called for travelling. Siakam was fouled and made one, with Leonard grabbing the rebound on the missed second shot. Siakam was fouled again, and capped it with another pair from the line.

Golden State was without star guard Stephen Curry, who sat for the 11th straight game because of a strained left groin. Curry is

Leonard connected on his first six shots of the

game and scored 13 points in the first quarter. Siakam added 10 for the Raptors, who were up by 18 points in the first and led 38-25 after one.

Thompson scored nine points in the second and Durant added eight as Golden State cut the deficit to single digits. Leonard scored nine for Toronto, which led 67-58 at the half.

Durant capped an 18-point third quarter with a 32-foot pull-up 3, the final basket in a personal 13-point streak.

DURANT SCORES SEASON-BEST 44 POINTS, WARRIORS HOLD OFF KINGS

By JANIE MCCAULEY AP Sports Writer OAKLAND, California (AP) — Klay Thompson will be thrilled with the winning shot any way it comes.

Kevin Durant will gladly accept that a jump ball he tipped away against Willie Cauley-Stein in the waning moments meant nearly as much as all those jumpers and free throws he hit in a sensational scoring performance.

Thompson put back his own miss with 5 seconds left, Durant scored a season-high 44 points, and the Golden State Warriors barely held off the Sacramento Kings 117-116 on Saturday night in a wild finish between the Northern California neighbours.

“I don’t know if I got fouled, but who cares I got the putback,” Thompson said. “You’ll take a gamewinner any way you can get it I don’t care how ugly it is.”

Durant tipped a jump ball to the backcourt just before the buzzer sounded, but a replay review was held to determine whether the Kings had called timeout — which was granted with 0.3 seconds on the clock.

The Warriors subsequently called their own, and the Kings failed to get a shot.

“I just tried to tip it as far away from their basket as possible,” Durant said.

Durant converted two free throws with 1:27 left and also had 13 rebounds and seven assists, while Thompson wound up with 31 points — the second

Buddy Hield had 28 points on 12-for-21 shooting and seven rebounds.

Rookie Marvin Bagley III contributed 20 points and a season-best 17 rebounds off the bench, but missed the first of two free throws with 1:08 remaining.

“That was a very good basketball game to watch, to be a part of. I thought we competed our tails off,” Kings coach Dave Joerger said.

Thompson shot 12 of 26 with five 3-pointers as Splash Brother Stephen Curry missed his ninth straight game because of a strained left groin. Fellow All-Star Draymond Green is still nursing a sprained right toe.

Durant’s 3-pointer with 6:22 left got Golden State within 108-105, then he converted a tying threepoint play the next time down before Quinn Cook’s go-ahead 3 the following possession.

Durant had 16 in the second quarter, making all eight of his free throws.

He finished with a seasonhigh 16 free throws on 17 attempts.

The two-time reigning NBA Finals MVP also committed seven of the Warriors’ 14 turnovers.

The Shockers held their largest lead of the game with a jumper from Oliver with about 32 seconds to go in the first (18-11). The Shockers would take that lead into the second quarter. Mingoes would go on a 12-4 run to take the lead 23-22 off a deep jumper from Dames with 7:19 on the clock.

The Shockers would take the lead back to end the half 39-35.

With about 3:00 to go in the fourth quarter and the matchup tied at 76, UB would go on a 9-2 run capped by a clutch 3-pointer from Justin Smith, with the assist from Dames, to go up 84-78 (1:01). This 6-point lead was the largest of the game for UB.

The Shockers had a few looks to get back in the game but could not convert as the Mingoes went on to win 87-84. “We started off a bit slow but we stuck to the game plan and that’s what paid off here for us tonight,” head coach Bacchus Rolle said. “We are beginning to trust the game plan and it’s paying off with us now at 4-0 so far in the season.”

Nichols, who again came off the bench for the third straight game, said he had a personal goal for the night and it showed in his numbers. “We are just staying positive and staying disciplined and staying together and going hard to get these wins,” he said. “We know we could play way better than we did tonight so we know what we are capable of on the court.”

“This is the award I want all of the schools to come after, the more teams you bring to the tournament, the better your opportunity to win this trophy and be recognised as one of the top schools.”

Reid told the Tribune in previous interviews that immediate goals would include expanding the reach to have more girls’ teams.

“It is always our intention to have more girls play.

Even though the games in the divisions for girls are good, we need to have more girls in the tournament.

This was originally a girls’ tournament, so to have a decline in numbers in those divisions is a little disappointing,” he said.

Cowboys stifle Drew Brees 13-10, end Saints’ 10-game win streak

By SCHUYLER DIXON AP Pro Football Writer ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Ezekiel Elliott scored the only Dallas touchdown and the Cowboys stifled Drew Brees and the Saints, ending New Orleans’ 10-game winning streak with a 13-10 victory last night.

The Cowboys (7-5) won their fourth consecutive game and assured they will at least remain tied for the NFC East lead.

The Saints (10-2) were shut out in the first half had a season low in points while missing on a chance to perfectly match Dallas from two years ago, when thenrookie sensations Elliott and quarterback Dak Prescott won 11 straight after dropping the opener.

Brees had his fewest yards passing in a half since joining the Saints in 2006 with 39, and couldn’t get a potential winning drive going in the final minutes.

Instead, Jourdan Lewis’ interception — just the third of the season for Brees — gave the Cowboys a chance to run out the clock from the New Orleans 1 after an interference penalty in the end zone.

The Cowboys tried to play keepaway from the NFL’s highest-scoring offence late in the fourth quarter, with Prescott desperately scrambling 11 yards for a first down on third-and-10 and Cole Beasley catching a third-down pass and diving for 5 yards on third-and-5.

But Prescott fumbled on a sack with Dallas in position for a field goal, giving Brees another chance from his 15 with more than two minutes remaining.

On the second play, though, Brees threw where

he expected a receiver to be but Jordan was the only on there.

He dove forward, just keeping the ball off the ground.

Marshon Lattimore was called for interference against Amari Cooper in the end zone, giving Dallas a first down at the 1 with 1:58 remaining.

The Cowboys just enough time to end the game, with the play clock matching the game clock after Prescott took a knee for the third time.

Brees was 18 of 28 for 127 yards, actually the second straight game and third overall under 200 yards for the MVP contender.

The only touchdown drive for the Saints was aided by three first downs on Dallas penalties.

The biggest was Randy Gregory’s roughing-thepunt penalty on Thomas Morstead.

Two plays later, Brees dropped a deep throw to a backpedaling Keith Kirkwood in the end zone for a 30-yard score to get New Orleans within 13-10.

Prescott had 194 of his 248 yards passing while helping the Cowboys to a 13-0 halftime lead — the first scoreless first half for the Saints since 2014 and their first deficit in five games.

The Cowboys held the ball for more than 21 minutes in the first half, but settled for field goals twice.

The only touchdown was a 16-yard screen pass to Elliott. Trailing 10-0 in the second quarter, coach Sean Payton went for it on fourth-and-goal from the 1 and chose a handoff to Alvin Kamara. He was stuffed, and the Cowboys kept the ball another nine minutes to get a field goal.

STEVENSON LOOKS FOR KNOCKOUT VS GVOZDYK IN WBC TITLE FIGHT QUEBEC CITY (AP) — Canadian Adonis Stevenson says he needs “just one punch” to defeat Oleksandr Gvozdyk, while the Ukrainian believes the long game will lead to victory.

They’ll fight for the WBC light heavyweight championship on Saturday at the Videotron Centre.

Defending champion Stevenson (29-1-1, 24 KO) knows undefeated Gvozdyk (15-0-0, 12 KO) will be a tough opponent.

“He’s hungry, he will want to go far in the boxing match,” Stevenson said yesterday at a news conference. “But as the fight goes into the late rounds, he will become tired because I will be hitting him hard.”

The 41-year-old Stevenson said he’ll be going for the knockout, a strategy endorsed by trainer Sugar Hill Steward, nephew of the legendary Emanuel Steward.

“I love knockouts,” Steward said. “No disrespect to the other fighters, but my late uncle always said, ‘Don’t leave anything to the judges,’ so that is why Adonis will be going for the knockout.”

Stevenson’s last fight was May 19 in Toronto, when the bout ended in the champion’s favour after a majority draw against Sweden’s Badou Jack. It was Stevenson’s ninth successful title defence since winning the belt against Chad Dawson in 2013.

Gvozdyk was a bronze medallist at the 2012 London Olympics. He’ll have Teddy Atlas, boxing analyst on ESPN for the last 21 years, in his corner.

Bills trending upward as they renew rivalry with Dolphins

By STEVEN WINE AP Sports Writer MIAMI (AP) — The season is heading in opposite directions for the Miami Dolphins and Buffalo Bills, which has brought them closer together in the AFC East standings.

The Bills (4-7) have won two games in a row to stoke enthusiasm about their long-term outlook with rookie quarterback Josh Allen, while the Dolphins (5-6) have lost two straight and six of eight to sour their season. Both teams will likely be playoff spectators, as usual, but there will be a stark contrast in moods when the longtime rivals square off Sunday.

• Here are things to know about the 109th game between the Bills and Dolphins, and the first of two meetings in December: TRENDING The Bills have a shot at only their second threegame winning streak since September 2011. They’ve gained more than 300 yards in each of the past two games after failing to do so in the first six. And they finished strong last week, scoring twice in the fourth quarter to beat Jacksonville 24-21. That made the Bills 2-1 in one-score games.

They beat Tennessee 13-12 in Week 5.

“One of the things that you always want to check off year to year, especially when you first get into the transition of taking over, is that you develop the mindset to win close games,” second-year Bills coach Sean McDermott said.

“You saw the Tennessee game, you saw this past week’s game, and we’re there as far as that goes.

That’s a mindset that’s easier said than done.”

Just ask the Dolphins, who blew a double-digit fourth-quarter lead to lose for the second time this season last week at Indianapolis.

“We gave it away,” running back Frank Gore said.

SUPPORT THE BLOOD BANK

DOLPHINS head coach Adam Gase, left, watches from the sideline as quarterback Ryan Tannehill walks past him to the bench on September 30. The Dolphins have lost two in a row, while the Bills have won their past two. The teams meet Sunday in Miami.

(AP Photo/Steven Senne) “We should have won that game.”

To keep their faint playoff hopes alive, the Dolphins need to beat the Bills twice, and then some.

“For us to control our destiny, we have to win out,” running back Kenyan Drake said.

MOTIVATED The matchup of sub.500 teams may lack lustre, but Bills defensive tackle Jordan Phillips said he’s fired up about it. Released by the Dolphins during Week 5, he said the move to Buffalo turned around his career, and he’s eager to settle old scores against Miami.

“If you watch me play, I don’t hold anything back,” Phillips said. “I’m an emotional guy, and whatever happens happens.

I’m not going to get any flags or anything like that, but I’m going to show my emotions.”

Phillips will need to get on the field first. In seven games with Buffalo he has played 163 snaps.

VERSATILE The Dolphins are braced for the 6-foot-5 Allen as a multi-purpose threat after he set a Bills record by rushing for 99 yards against Jacksonville.

“He had a run on a draw where he stiff-arms a defensive end, makes one of the DBs miss and then runs through one of the linebackers, all in 14 yards,” Miami coach Adam Gase said. “That athletic

ability just surprises people because of his size.”

Allen’s counterpart, 30-year-old Ryan Tannehill, said he couldn’t offer any recollections regarding the challenges he faced as a rookie quarterback.

“That was so long ago, I feel like I’m 90 compared to my rookie year,” Tannehill said with a laugh.

PICKS A knack for takeaways has been the Dolphins’ strength. They rank second in the NFL with 17 interceptions, and cornerback Xavien Howard is tied for second in the league with five.

Howard has nine interceptions in his past 16 games, the most of any player over that stretch.

“If he can get his hands on it, he’s catching it,” Gase said. “That’s really the part you don’t see a ton with corners.”

NEW STAR Miami’s Leonte Carroo will likely see significant playing time because of injuries to the receiving corps. Carroo, who began the season on the practice squad, said he received almost 300 congratulatory text messages after making a 74-yard touchdown catch against Indianapolis.

“It was a long wait for family and friends and college buddies to see me go out there and make a play,” Carroo said. “A lot of people back home and just everywhere showed me a lot of love.”

European soccer weekend: 3 derbies in England on Sunday

By The Associated Press WHAT to watch in the leading soccer leagues in Europe this weekend: ENGLAND It’s derby day in the Premier League on Sunday.

The pick of the meeting of neighbours is Unai Emery’s first chance to take on Tottenham since succeeding Arsene Wenger at Arsenal. A change in manager has transformed the mood at Arsenal but the team is worse off in the standings.

Tottenham is in third place, three points ahead of Arsenal. After 13 games last season, Arsenal was a place higher in fourth, with Tottenham a point behind.

Liverpool is transformed this season, though, heading into the Merseyside derby against Everton.

Juergen Klopp’s side remains unbeaten and is only two points behind leader Manchester City, having been 14 points adrift at this stage last season.

Chelsea’s unbeaten start was ended by Tottenham last Saturday. Now Fulham

makes the short trip to Stamford Bridge with former Chelsea manager Claudio Ranieri seeking a second successive win since being hired by the last-place team.

The main game on Saturday sees Manchester United travel to Southampton after falling 14 points behind City with a draw against Crystal Palace last weekend.

— By Rob Harris in London SPAIN Sevilla faces a tough challenge to its league lead when it visits Alaves on Sunday.

Alaves is the revelation of the season. The small Basque Country club hasn’t lost any of its six home matches and has risen to fourth place.

Victories at its Mendizorroza Stadium include 1-0 over Real Madrid last month.

Led by Andre Silva’s eight goals, Sevilla has a record of seven wins, to go with a draw and a loss, over the last nine rounds.

Barcelona will be without striker Luis Suarez,

contributing eight goals and seven assists after appearing in all 12 league games.

Alcacer has nine goals in seven appearances and scores on average every 29 minutes.

Mid-table Freiburg has only two points from its last three games.

Borussia Moenchengladbach, four points behind Dortmund, hopes to keep pace with the league leader with a win at fourth-place Leipzig on Sunday. Fifthplace champion Bayern Munich, nine points off the pace, visits Werder Bremen on Saturday.

— By Ciaran Fahey in Berlin.

ITALY Injury-depleted Roma is in turmoil ahead of the visit by third-place Inter Milan on Sunday.

A loss to relegationthreatened Udinese last weekend and a 2-0 collapse to Real Madrid in the Champions League — even though Roma advanced to the knockout rounds — have left coach Eusebio Di Francesco under pressure.

LIONEL MESSI who is sidelined for two weeks because of a right knee injury, when it hosts Villarreal on Sunday trailing Sevilla by one point in second place.

Third-place Atletico Madrid visits Girona also on Sunday. Real Madrid is in sixth ahead of hosting Valencia on Saturday.

— By Joseph Wilson in Barcelona.

GERMANY Borussia Dortmund is looking to captain Marco Reus and striker Paco Alcacer to maintain its unbeaten start to the Bundesliga. The leaders host Freiburg on Saturday.

Reus is enjoying his best ever season for Dortmund,

Languishing in seventh place, Roma is without four injured starters: Striker Edin Dzeko, winger Stephan El Shaarawy and key midfielders Daniele De Rossi and Lorenzo Pellegrini. Unbeaten Juventus visits Fiorentina on Saturday, while second-place Napoli isn’t in action until Monday against Atalanta.

— By Andrew Dampf in Rome.

FRANCE Bordeaux coach Ricardo will have to produce another upset to end Paris Saint-Germain’s victory procession on Sunday.

Runaway leader PSG travels to the wine-making region of Bordeaux tipsy on a 14-game winning run in Ligue 1 and boosted by a 2-1 win against Liverpool in the Champions League.

Although Bordeaux is only in 12th place, that will not deter Ricardo, who has a taste for knocking down favourites.

In 2007, he coached Bordeaux to a League Cup final win against Lyon few expected given Lyon’s

near-untouchable status at the time.

PSG enjoys an even higher level of domestic superiority these days, but Ricardo — a tough and uncompromising Brazil defender who played for PSG from 1991-95 and managed the club from ‘96-’98 — will have his players well prepared.

A PSG defeat will hardly make much difference to the standings, given that second-place Lyon is 15 points behind.

Lyon was impressive going forward during a 2-2 home draw with Premier League champion Manchester City in the Champions League, but also defended poorly at times.

Lyon’s defence faces another tough test in Saturday’s trip to fourth-place Lille, which has one of the league’s top scorers in Nicolas Pepe.

Also on Saturday, thirdplace Montpellier is away at Thierry Henry’s Monaco side, which is in 19th place.
