New champions crowned

By BRENT STUBBS Senior Sports Reporter bstubbs@tribunemedia.net

he Ministry of Agriculture and Marine Resources’ second annual Best-of-theBest Regatta concluded yesterday in Montagu Bay with three new champions crowned.

After four days of competition, Stefan Knowles and his Running Tide took the A class title back to Mangrove Bush, Long Island, while Jeff Gale and his Lonesome Dove and It Ain’t Right carried the B and C class titles to Abaco.

Prime Minister Dr Hubert Minnis was on hand to participate in the closing ceremonies, commending Minister Renward Wells and his staff at the ministry for putting on another successful event.

However, there was no comments made, but many felt the regatta could have been bigger and better without the controversy that loomed over the A class and the PM Thunderbird.

As a result of the ministry’s decision to allow the Aliv PM New Thunderbird, formerly the banned Tanqueray, to sail, six of the top A class boats boycotted, leaving just four boats in the fleet.

In the end, the Running Tide walked away with $6,000 for winning the Best of the Best title, while the New Legend got $5,500 for second in a showdown between two Long Island boats.

The Good News out of Exuma finished third and earned $5,000 and the New Thunderbird and

CHAMPION OF THE SEAS: After four days of competition, Stefan Knowles and his Running Tide took the A class title back to Mangrove Bush, Long Island. owner Rev Dr Philip McPhee pocketed $4,500 for its fourth place finish.

There were two Cup races sponsored by Paradise Games and the Running Tide won both of them, adding to their overall purse.

The New Legend, the Aliv PM Thunderbird and the Good News finished in that order. “It wasn’t much boats. A lot of the boats

didn’t sail, so we ended up winning all of the races,” he said. “It’s an issue that has to be sorted out in the near future.

“I understand the reason why they didn’t sail, but at the end of the day, we have to come up with an amicable solution and get it worked out. It ain’t good for the sport for the sports not to participate.”

Knowles was hoping to go for the triple crown in winning all three titles, but he admitted that in the C class, his Whitty K experienced some problems in the first race, but even though they got back into it, they couldn’t catch It Ain’t Right. “We’ll get them back next time,” Knowles said.

GOODISON AND KLEEN WIN THE STAR SAILORS LEAGUE FINALS WITH racing taking place in a balmy, near perfect 15 knots on Nassau’s Montagu Bay, the ‘take no prisoners’ shoot out on the last day of the Star Sailors League Final saw the fleet narrow to seven teams after the quarter-finals and to four after the semis.

Finally this left the finals being contested by France’s Xavier Rohart/Pierre-Alexis Ponsot, Britain’s Paul Goodison sailing with German Frithjof Kleen, Brazil’s Robert Scheidt/Henry Boening and the USA’s Mark Mendelblatt/ Brian Fatih, the latter crew having ‘fast tracked’ straight through after decisively winning the qualifiers on Saturday.

In the final race, Mendelblatt/ Fatih led off the line and all the boats heading out to the left.

Goodison/Kleen benefitted on the right and coming into the weather mark just squeaked in ahead of the Americans.

On the final approach to the finish line, Scheidt/Boening closed, rolling in with more pressure and on some

good waves as Goodison/Kleen looked slow.

However at the very last moment, Goodison/Kleen picked up speed to win by a metre. It was a suitable ending to this ultimate ‘champion of champions’ regatta,

where the winners get to walk away with US$ 40,000 of a US$ 200,000 total prize purse.

Goodison described the final seconds. “I was desperate to soak low to come into towards the pin end [of the finish line] and Frida [Frithjof Kleen] was going ‘YOU’RE GOING TOO SLOW, YOU’RE GOING TOO SLOW – COME UP!’. So there was a little panic. It was a little too close for comfort.”

Kleen added: “It is always super hard to protect yourself from Robert Scheidt because he is the best downwind sailor in the world and he caught us up quite well…”

In fact the two time Moth World Champion and his burly Star veteran crewman had become experts at photo finishes having had a similar experience in the semi-finals.

On that occasion they were in a must-win battle against Germans Philipp Buhl and Markus Koy: The

BUDDY Hield’s productivity off the bench continues for the Sacramento Kings and is approaching milestone numbers for his efficient shooting.

Hield scored 17 points on 7-13 shooting, 3-5 from three-point range in Sunday’s 102-87 loss to the Toronto Raptors at the Golden 1 Centre in Sacramento, California.

Hield scored 14 in the first half to help the Kings keep pace.

It completed a weekend that began with late game heroics against his former team. Hield finished with 18 points and 7 rebounds in a 116-109 overtime win over the New Orleans Pelicans at the Smothie King Center in New Orleans, Louisiana. He shot 7-12 from the field, including 4-5 on three pointers.

He scored eight points during the Kings’ 11-2 run to end the fourth and his 3-pointer with 36.3 seconds left tied the score at 102 to eventually force overtime.

“It was good to come here and get a win,” Hield told reporters after the game. “We came in here with a great team -- they are in playoff contention -- and they have three great players, A.D., Jrue (Holiday), and DeMarcus and just find a way to win. That’s what we did as a young group.

We feed off the vets’ energy.

Z-Bo (Zach Randolph) was great on the bench. George Hill was talking to us about how to guard them. I made some shots. We all did our part.”

In his last 10 games Hield has shot nearly 60 per cent from three-point range and has averaged nearly 18 points per game in his last four contests since playing just seven minutes and going scoreless against the Chicago Bulls..

On the season Hield is averaging 12.3 points per game, shooting 45 per cent from the field, 47 per cent from three and 88 per cent

THE TRIBUNE

‘CLIMBING THE LADDER OF SUCCESS THROUGH DETERMINATION, RESPONSIBILITY, ENTHUSIASM, ACCOUNTABILITY AND DEDICATION’

Roadrunners Track & Field Club’s 18th annual gala awards banquet

By BRENT STUBBS Senior Sports Reporter bstubbs@tribunemedia.net FOR the 18th consecutive year, president/head coach Dexter Bodie and his executive team took the time out to honour the accomplishments of their Roadrunners Track and Field Club at their gala awards banquet.

The massive presentation, held under the theme: ‘Climbing the Ladder of Success through Determination, Responsibility, Enthusiasm, Accountability and Dedication,’ recognised the athletes for their athletic and academic achievements for this year.

In the ballroom of the Atlantis resort on Paradise Island, Olympian Iram Lewis congratulated the club for its stickability in honouring the athletes and he urged them to continue to carry out the mandate that has become the hallmark of the occasion.

In his remarks, Lewis brought home the importance of the athletes climbing the ladder of success, as outlined in their theme, noting that there were many athletes such as Sir Durward ‘Sea Wolf’ Knowles in sailing, Elisha Obed in boxing, Thomas A Robinson in track and field and Mychal ‘Sweet Bells’ Thompson in basketball, who paved the way.

“It didn’t just start with the ‘Golden Girls’ or the ‘Golden Knights’ or any of today’s modern athletic heroes,” he stressed.

He mentioned that on their shoulders rest the future stars who will emerge out of the Roadrunners Club to become the next superstars in the future.

“Continue coach Bodie and your fine executive team to work with the athletes,” stated Lewis, who predicted that the next Shaunae Miller-Uibo, Chris ‘Fireman’ Brown, Carl Oliver and even Iram Lewis is right in the Roadrunners Club.

Both Bahamas Association of Athletic Associations’ president Rosamunde Carey and Bahamas Parents Association of Track and Field Athletes Harrison Petty also praised Bodie and the club for the tremendous accomplishments they have achieved with their athletes.

Carey, highlighting how she participated in both a half marathon in Orlando, Florida, and a full marathon in Paris, France, encouraged the athletes to never give up.

She emphasized the importance of the athletes ensuring that they put their best foot forward in getting to represent the country when the CARIFTA Games are held here during the Easter holiday.

And when it’s all said and done, Petty said there’s no greater feeling for an athlete than to be able to secure an athletic scholarship and his association will continue to work with the Roadrunners and the other clubs to ensure that they get as many student/athletes off to school.

Lewis, the parliamentary secretary in the Ministry of Works, and his wife were joined by fellow Olympian Carl Oliver, Carey, Petty and his wife, parent David Higgins, sponsor Phil Smith and sponsor William Delancy and his wife, in making the presentations to the athletes.

Two of the top awards presented were the Athletes of the Year and the Dominique Higgins Awards for the most outstanding student-athletes.

Winners of the Dominique Higgins Awards received their trophies from David Higgins, father of Dominique Higgins, who was the first athlete in the club to be recognised for their achievement of a 4.0 grade point average.

This year’s recipients were Noel James, Rolando

Thompson, Leonard Taylor and Jasmine Thompson, all earning 4-0 GPAs. Phil Smith, representing d’Albenas Agency, one of the major sponsors, presented the Athletes of the Year awards. The recipients were as follows: Girls Under 8 – Takash Seymour; under-10 – J’Kaiyah Rolle; under-12 – Ta-Mia Taylor; under-14 – Sherinique Sears; under-16 – Rowlia Joseph and under18 – Esther Cartwright.

Boys Under-8 – Rolando Thompson; under-12 – Darius Pratt; under-14 – Daniel Ermilus and Malcolm Williams; under-16 – Anton Pratt and Avery Adderley; under-18 – Michael Adderley and under-20 Gabriel Williams.

Although she was one of the most impressive athletes this year, Ta-Mia Taylor said she was still surprised that she received the awards that she got.

“I feel good and I’m very excited about the awards that I got. I think it was a great achievement for me,” said Taylor, a 10-year-old student of Pace Christian Academy, who competes in events from the 200-800 metres.

“I was very surprised with all of the awards that I got.”

It was no surprise for Esther Cartwright, who will be entering her final year as a high school student as a repeat Athlete of the Year.

“I will miss it. Over the years, it’s been a great experience,” said Cartwright, an 18-year-old 12th grader at RM Bailey, who has been the club’s most dominant female sprinter.

“I was pleased with my performance and how I was able to balance my track with my academics, so I was really proud of myself. I will do my best this year to try and get a scholarship. So I have to give it my all this year.”

For Daniel Ermilus, he didn’t mind sharing the podium with Malcolm Williams.

“I feel fine about all of the awards that I got, but I felt I could have done better overall to get more awards than I got,” said the 12-year-old HO Nash grade eight sprinter.

“Next year, I’m looking forward to having a much better season and hopefully making the CARIFTA team. That is my main goal right now.”

Bodie said he was very happy with the way things turned out, despite the fact that they got off to a late start and ended up finishing close to midnight.

“We had a sold out atmosphere and so I just want to say thank you to our sponsors because without them, this would not have been possible,” he said.

“There were a lot of surprises, but God is good.

We hope next year, it will be bigger and better, but shorter. We just want to take this time to tell the athletes to continue to press forward, not just on the track, but in their school work.”

Once again, comedian David Wallace flew in from Grand Bahama to serve as the co-master of ceremonies with Roadrunners’ assistant coach/secretary Mildred Adderley, whose two sons Avery and Michael Adderley were on the honours list.

A number of parents were also singled out for their contribution to the club and sponsors Smith, Petty and Delancy were also honoured for their tremendous support of the Roadrunners.

ROADRUNNERS receive awards at their 18th annual gala awards banquet, held at the Atlantis resort under the theme, ‘Climbing the Ladder of Success through Determination, Responsibility, Enthusiasm, Accountability and Dedication,’ on Saturday night.

Ayton helps Wildcats Jones scores 34, grabs 19 rebounds in her secure 88-82 win over Crimson Tide team’s latest victory

THE Arizona Wildcats were locked into another close game down the stretch when they turned to their freshman phenom to deliver in the clutch.

DeAndre Ayton made a pair of jumpers on consecutive possessions to help the Wildcats pull away for an 88-82 win over the Alabama Crimson Tide at the McKale Center in Tuscon, Arizona, on Saturday.

Ayton finished with 29 points and 18 rebounds, both season highs.

Asked about where his confidence originates to take those shots with the game on the line as a freshman, Ayton said it was a matter of routine.

“I don’t know,” he said.

“That’s the shot I shoot in practice. I work on it. It was open to me and I thought it was a good shot. I’m just happy we got the win, it was a tough game.”

The 18 rebounds were tied for the fourth most by a Arizona freshman, and were the most by any Wildcat since Aaron Gordon grabbed 18 rebounds versus Wisconsin in the 2014 NCAA Tournament.

Tied at 76 with 3:18 left to play, Ayton gave Arizona the lead with a tip-in and followed with one of two at the line on the ensuing possession. Nursing a 79-77 lead, Ayton made both jumpers under the two-minute mark to give Arizona a six-point lead.

“DeAndre was the difference,” Wildcats head coach Sean Miller said. “I just have a hard time believing there is anybody better than

JONQUEL Jones continues to put up phenomenal numbers during the offseason in China and is pegged as one of the early candidates for MVP. Jones is currently averaging 25.7 points and 18.1 rebounds per game for Shanxi Xing Rui in the Women’s Chinese Basketball Association and was named the league’s top performer last week.

In her latest game she finished with 34 points and 19 rebounds, while her team crushed Xinjiang by a 23-point margin 102-79.

Her week also included 24 points and 20 rebounds in a marquee matchup against the Seattle Storm’s Breanna Stewart with her Shanghai club. She also dropped a season high 40 points and 14 rebounds in an 88-82 loss to the top ranked team in the league, Beijing Great Wall.

Jones is the league’s second leading scorer behind Stewart’s 26.7 points per game.

Shanxi XR is currently fourth in the WCBA standings at 6-4.

Led by Jones, Shanxi XR has been the second ranked scoring team at 82 points per game and second ranked assist team at 15.8 per game and tops in rebounding at 37.9 boards per game.

The WCBA is the toptier professional women’s basketball league in China and is the women’s counterpart to the Chinese Basketball Association.

Ayton shot 12-18 from the field and made one of his two three-point attempts.

“He does what he does.

It’s like routine for us now, we expect him to dominate, we expect to go to him and for him to do well,” Allonzo Trier said.

Trier scored 20 of his 25 points in the second half.

Arizona began the year ranked at No.2 but plummeted from the top 25 after a winless appearance at the Battle 4 Atlantis with losses to NC State, SMU and Purdue. The Wildcats (7-3) notched their second marquee win of the week, following a huge win over No. 7 Texas A & M. Alabama (7-3) made the score 84-80 on with 34 seconds left to play, but Trier made free throws down the stretch to seal the win.

Arizona had an early 10-0 run that put them up 24-13.

The Crimson Tide fought back behind their defence, using a 13-2 run to tie it at 26-all. Ayton nearly had a double double at halftime with 15 points and nine rebounds, but Alabama made a late three to take a 40-38 lead.

“I knew where we were, were six games in at the time. We had five or six guys that are newcomers and hadn’t played much college basketball so that was an eye opening experience for them,” Trier said of the Battle 4 Atlantis and the way forward for the ‘Cats.

“Us upperclassmen and guys that have been there before we have to do a much better job. We weren’t on top of our games like we should have been.

We have been working hard, focusing on the right things, challenging each other in practice and coach Miller is doing the right job of preparing us.”

Jones’ last offseason propelled her into becoming the WNBA’s Most Improved Player, an AllStar and an All-WNBA Second Team selection, leaving fans and pundits eager to see what this offseason will bring.

Jones was selected No. 5 overall by Woori Bank in the Korean Basketball League and led the team to a championship title. On the season she averaged 15.8 points, 14.3 rebounds and 2.8 blocks - all team leads - in 24 minutes per

game for Woori Bank in 38 games.

At the league’s award ceremony, Jones earned the Foreign Most Valuable Player Award, Defensive Player of the Year award and was named “Best Five” in the league.

Her performance led WNBA general managers to vote Jones as the player most likely to have a breakout season in the WNBA. Jones finished the year averaging 15.5 points and 11.9 rebounds per game - a dramatic increase from her rookie season when she averaged 6.8 points and 3.7 rebounds per game.

She also set a new WNBA single-season record with 403 rebounds for the season and added 20 double-doubles.

GOODISON AND KLEEN WIN THE STAR SAILORS LEAGUE FINALS FROM PAGE 1 winner progressing to the final, the loser eliminated. Winning that particular race within a race had been especially important for Kleen.

“I was working hard to catch the Germans in the semi-final!

You could see the difference between us - we were rolling more and that helped us,” he said.

Despite losing the final, Robert Scheidt said it was a great race.

“A lot happened – position changes, tacking on each other, penalties – and then we had a

photo finish. We managed to do a good gybe on the inside and we got a little bit more pressure so that when we converged, I thought at one stage that we had got those guys.

“But in the end I couldn’t go low because I was blocked by the race committee boat. They deserved it and for us to be part of that was really exciting,” he said.

It was interesting to note that three of the four finalists were former Laser sailors who competed at the Athens Olympics in 2004. On that occasion Scheidt claimed gold, Goodison was

fourth and Mendleblatt seventh.

Throughout the Qualifiers this week, Mendelblatt and Fatih had been the stand-out crew but perhaps suffered from coming into the Finals cold whereas the other teams had already warmed up in the quarter-finals and semis.

Goodison was delighted by the outcome.

“I am over the moon - I didn’t expect this at all.” Given today’s slightly breezier conditions, the smart money had been on the Star veterans, rather than a newbie to the class like him.

“This morning we had a look at the trophy and I saw Bart’s

name on it [the late Andrew Simpson, who won Star Gold in Beijing 2008 as part of the British Olympic team with Goodison] and Frida mentioned that the top crew got the Andrew Simpson Trophy.

“Somewhere up there I am sure Bart was smiling on us and making us hike a little bit harder.

It is a great honour to race against these guys and I feel so happy to have won and I feel so grateful to have had Frida who has been my mentor, my pain in the ass, my everything for the last 10 days.”

And what will he do with his share of the prize money? “Well,

I have a new Moth being built, but I think my family might get some better Christmas presents this year!” concluded the two time Moth World Champion, Laser Olympic gold medallist and now Star Sailors League champion. The celebrations continued at the Nassau Yacht Club when a Gala Dinner was held as Dennis Conner handed out the prizes to the athletes - who wore their Star Sailors League official blazers, kindly supplied by Think Pink.

Oladipo scores career-high 47, Pacers top Nuggets in Overtime INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Victor Oladipo had a career-high 47 points and added seven rebounds and six assists in the Indiana Pacers’ 126-116 overtime victory over the Denver Nuggets on Sunday.

The Pacers used an 8-0 scoring run, capped by Thad Young’s putback with 5 seconds left in regulation, to tie it. Then, Indiana got the first nine points in overtime to secure its fourth straight victory, outscoring the Nuggets 12-2 in the extra period.

Myles Turner added 24 points and eight rebounds, and Lance Stephenson had 12 points, six rebounds and six assists for the Pacers. Oladipo made six 3-pointers, with the biggest coming with 2:10 to play in the third quarter to give Indiana its first lead of the game.

Trey Lyles led the Nuggets with a careerhigh 25 points.

CELTICS 91, PISTONS 81 DETROIT (AP) — Al Horford had 18 points, Kyrie Irving added 16 and Boston beat Detroit to get revenge for a rare loss.

The Eastern Conference-leading Celtics bounced back from a loss Friday night at San Antonio, extending their feat of losing consecutive games only once this season.

The Pistons, meanwhile, have lost six straight for the first time since late in the 2014-15 season.

Boston shut down the Pistons after giving up a season-high 118 points to them in a loss at home last month. The Celtics held Detroit to a season low in points and forced it to miss two-thirds of its shots.

Anthony Davis added 29 points and DeMarcus Cousins 23 for New Orleans, which looked out-of-synch in the third quarter and in danger of dropping a second straight at home before Holiday took over.

Rajon Rondo, who sat out the Pelicans’ surprising collapse against Sacramento on Friday night, returned with 13 points and 18 assists.

Philadelphia’s Ben Simmons, who played one season at LSU before being selected first overall in the 2016 draft, had 27 points and 10 rebounds. J.J. Redick had 28 points.

Kyle Lowry added 15 points, 12 rebounds and six assists on an off-night shooting, Serge Ibaka scored 20 points, and C.J. Miles had 11 for the Raptors. They won for the first time in Sacramento since 2014.

DeRozan shot 9 of 15 and was 7 of 11 on free throws while going over the 12,000point mark for his career. He went into the day six points shy of the milestone.

TIMBERWOLVES 97, MAVERICKS 92 MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Karl-Anthony Towns had 28 points, Jimmy Butler scored 10 of his 22 in the fourth quarter and Minnesota beat Dallas.

Towns added 12 rebounds, including four on the offensive end, for his NBA-leading 21st double-double of the season. Minnesota committed 18 turnovers but hit four free throws at the end to pull away in a game in which no team led by more than six points.

After winning the two titles in the National Family Island Regatta in Georgetown, Exuma in April, Gale said his Lonesome Dove and It Ain’t Right earned the rights to compete in the Best of the Best Regatta for the first time.

And he said it was good to come to the Best of the Best and duplicate the feat.

“It was fantastic. I like the elimination process. I thought it was pretty cool,” said Gale about

competing in three races over the first three days to determine who will get to compete for all the marbles on the final day.

In the B class, Gale’s Lonesome Dove collected $5,000 for her overall victory.

The Susan Chase got $4,500 for second, Lady Sonia picked up $4,000 for third, the Tari Anne got $3,500 for fourth and the Lady Nathalie ended up with $3,000 for fifth.

The two cup races, also sponsored by Paradise Games, saw the Susan Chase and the Lady Sonia split the top two spots. The Lonesome Dove got third in the first race and fourth in the second, while the Tari Anne was fourth and third respectively.

“We performed exceptionally well,” Gale said. “The competition was outstanding. Our competition has always been with

Buzzy Rolle and Stefan Knowles, so it was good to win over them.”

For her overall victory in the C class, Ir Ain’t Right got $4,000. Whitty K, in second, got $3,500, Bul Reg got $3,000 for third, Xena $2,500 for fourth and Smashie, Fugitive and Termite all got $1,500 for fifth, sixth and seventh place respectively.

Paradise Games’ cup races saw the Whitty K win the first one, followed by It Ain’t Right and Bul Reg. In the second race, Bul Reg won with the Whitty K second and It Ain’t Right third.

Buzzy Rolle, skipper of Bul Reg, said it was tough facing It Ain’t Right and Whitty K. “We made a couple of mistakes.

Against It Ain’t Right and Whitty K, you can’t expect to make those mistakes,” Rolle said. “But we’re fortunate that we were still able to come out with a third place.”

from the free throw line, in contention to join the elite 50-40-90 club.

The 50–40–90 club is considered a group of players who have had a shooting percentage at or above 50% for field goals, 40% for three-pointers, and 90% for free throws during an entire NBA regular season while also achieving the NBA minimum number of makes in each category. Only seven players have had 50–40–90 seasons.

And even though he had his hands full sailing, Rolle joined in the controversy, saying that it was quite disappointing not to see all of the top A class boats compete.

“We all wanted to see them compete,” he insisted. “When you have boats like the Tida Wave and the Courageous and the Lady Muriel, they are some big losses.

“When you have rules, you have to stick by them. We have a guideline with the boats we have to stick with it. We just have to get it together. Other than that, the regatta went fine, especially in the B and C classes.”

Sydney Forbes, chairman of an appointed seven-man committee from the ministry, ruled unanimously that the Aliv PM Thunderbird was ineligible to compete, but Minister Wells overruled that decision and granted the boat permission to compete.

As a result of that decision, Forbes said the other A class boats made the decision not to sail in the regatta. Looking at what transpired, Forbes said he still feels they made the right decision.

“As far as I’m concerned, the Best of the Best has not proven to be the Best of the Best,” he said.

“If you check the A class, none of the boats that competed, were not the top boats. “So yes, you had a series of races which you termed the Best of the Best, but in my opinion, it was not as good as it was last year.”

Unlike the initial event last year when all of the boats had to qualify to compete by winning one of the regattas held from January to October, this year the ministry opened the entry list to all boats that wanted to compete. As a result, the C class had a record 27 boats that competed.

Eagles lose Wentz to injury, beat Rams 43-35 to win NFC East

By BERNIE WILSON Associated Press LOS ANGELES (AP) — Carson Wentz threw for 291 yards and four touchdowns before leaving with a knee injury and Jake Elliott kicked the go-ahead 33-yard field goal with 3:45 left for the Philadelphia Eagles, who beat the Los Angeles Rams 43-35 in a thriller yesterday to clinch the NFC East title.

Two sources familiar with the injury tell The Associated Press that doctors believe Wentz has torn his left anterior cruciate ligament and will miss the rest of the season and playoffs.

Wentz needs an MRI to confirm the severity of the injury. Both people spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because they weren’t authorised to

release the information.

Wentz was hit hard as he dived into the end zone on a play that was called back because of holding.

He stayed in the game and threw a 3-yard touchdown pass to Alshon Jeffery four plays later to give the Eagles a 31-28 lead.

Nick Foles replaced Wentz on the next drive for Philadelphia (11-2).

The NFC West-leading Rams (9-4) then went up 35-31 on Todd Gurley’s second short TD run.

Elliott kicked a 41-yard field goal to pull the Eagles to 35-34. His go-ahead field goal was set up when Chris Long, a second-round draft pick of the then-St Louis Rams in 2008, had a stripsack of Jared Goff, with Rodney McLeod recovering. Elliott kicked a 54-yarder, but the Eagles

NFL CAPSULES COWBOYS 30, GIANTS 10 EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Dak Prescott threw three touchdown passes and the desperate Cowboys spoiled Steve Spagnuolo’s debut as interim coach, as well as the return of quarterback Eli Manning to the Giants’ starting lineup.

Prescott threw a go-ahead 20-yard score to tight end Jason Witten with 7:38 to play. Rod Smith scored on an 81-yard pass play with 4:08 left and added a 15-yard scoring run a little more than a minute later after an interception by Sean Lee. Prescott, who was 20 of 30 for 332 yards, also threw a 50-yard scoring pass to Dez Bryant as the Cowboys (7-6) stayed in the playoff hunt with three games left in the regular season. Dan Bailey added a 21-yard field goal as the Cowboys finished with 454 yards.

JAGUARS 30, SEAHAWKS 24 JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Blake Bortles threw two perfect passes for touchdowns and Jaydon Mickens set up another score with a 72-yard punt return.

The Jaguars (9-4) intercepted three passes by Russell Wilson, including two on deep balls, and won for the sixth time in their last seven games. This victory, coupled with Tennessee’s loss at Arizona, moved Jacksonville atop the AFC South.

got an automatic first down on a personal foul on Aaron Donald. Elliott kicked the winner four plays later.

The game ended on a crazy play, when Philadelphia’s Brandon Graham grabbed a lateral by Tavon Austin out of the air on the game’s last play and scored what was ruled a 16-yard fumble return.

The Eagles clinched their first division title since 2013.

WENTZ AND GOFF This was the eighth time in the Super Bowl era that quarterbacks taken No. 1 and No. 2 overall in the same draft squared off.

Goff was the first pick overall in 2016, followed by Wentz.

It’s the first time since 2010 that the Jaguars have had the outright division lead this late in a season.

CARDINALS 12, TITANS 7 GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Phil Dawson kicked four second-half field goals and the Cardinals shut down Tennessee’s offense nearly all day.

Dawson connected from 47, 23, 32 and 35 yards and missed from 40 for the Cardinals (6-7), whose victory came two weeks after they beat then-AFC South leader Jacksonville on the same field.

The Cardinals intercepted Marcus Mariota twice in the second half after the Titans (8-5) nursed a 7-0 lead at halftime.

CHARGERS 30, REDSKINS 13 CARSON, Calif. (AP) — Philip Rivers passed for 319 yards and two touchdowns, and the Chargers continued their ferocious playoff push with their fourth straight victory.

Tyrell Williams caught a 75-yard touchdown pass and Hunter Henry had another scoring grab for the Chargers (7-6), who have won seven of nine after an 0-4 start to their relocation season.

While outscoring their opponents 131-53 during their winning streak, the Chargers also moved above .500 for the first time since September 2015 with a dominant offensive performance against Washington.

LIONS 24, BUCCANEERS 21 TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Matthew Stafford passed for 381 yards with an injured throwing hand and set up Matt Prater for a 46-yard field goal in the closing seconds.

Stafford made his 109th consecutive start despite being limited in practice after his right hand was stepped on during the previous week at Baltimore.

He completed 36 of 44 attempts against the Bucs (4-9), and the Lions (7-6) overcame two interceptions and a fumble to stop a two-game losing streak.

BRONCOS 23, JETS 0 DENVER (AP) — The Broncos snapped their longest losing streak since joining the NFL in 1970 thanks to wide receiver Demaryius Thomas’ big game and a return of Denver’s stingy defense.

Trevor Siemian threw for 200 yards and his favorite target was Thomas , who caught eight passes for 93 yards and a touchdown as the Broncos (4-9) avoided tying their franchise futility record of nine consecutive losses set way back in 1967.

On third-and-6, Hundley threw a short pass to Adams, who broke a tackle and went in untouched with 5:05 left as the Packers (7-6) won in overtime for the second straight week — and third time this season.

49ERS 26, TEXANS 16 HOUSTON (AP) — Jimmy Garoppolo threw for a careerhigh 334 yards and a touchdown to help the 49ers to their second straight win. Garoppolo again showed that he could be the answer for the 49ers (3-10) at quarterback, going 20 of 33 in his second start for the team.

Acquired before the trade deadline from New England, Garoppolo threw for 293 yards in his debut last week to help the 49ers to a 15-14 win at Chicago.

BEARS 33, BENGALS 7 CINCINNATI (AP) — Rookie Mitchell Trubisky threw for a touchdown and ran for another in his best showing yet, and the Bears ended a five-game losing streak with their most lopsided victory in five years.

BILLS 13, COLTS 7 ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — LeSean McCoy scored on a 21-yard run with 1:33 left in overtime to secure the Buffalo Bills’ 13-7 win over the Indianapolis Colts in a wintry, white-out setting best suited for snow shoes and sled dogs. McCoy finished with 156 yards rushing and topped the 1,000-yard mark for the sixth time in his career on a slick, snow-covered field.

CHIEFS 26, RAIDERS 15 KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Kareem Hunt ran for 116 yards and a touchdown and the Chiefs shut down Derek Carr and his offense to snap a four-game losing streak. The suddenly stingy Chiefs (7-6) also made a big statement in the crowded AFC West race. They are tied atop the division with the Chargers; the Raiders are 6-7.

PANTHERS 31, VIKINGS 24 CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Jonathan Stewart ran for 103 yards and three touchdowns, and the Panthers snapped the Vikings’ eight-game winning streak. Cam Newton threw for a touchdown and ran for 75 yards as the Panthers (9-4) racked up 216 yards on the ground against the league’s No. 2 ranked defense to pull even with the Saints atop the NFC South standings.

ATLETICO WINS 1-0 AT BETIS TO STAY IN HUNT IN SPAIN

By JOSEPH WILSON Associated Press BARCELONA, Spain (AP) — Saul Niguez scored the only goal as Atletico Madrid beat Real Betis 1-0 to keep Diego Simeone’s team in the chase for the Spanish league title yesterday.

Atletico stayed undefeated through 15 rounds and retook third place ahead of Real Madrid.

Atletico’s third straight league win came after it failed to advance to the knockout stages in the Champions League earlier this week.

The victory played out in classic fashion for the team that Simeone has long forged into one of Europe’s toughest football teams to crack.

MAN CITY WINS DERBY, EPL TITLE RACE TURNING INTO PROCESSION

By STEVE DOUGLAS Associated Press MANCHESTER, England (AP) — Surely nothing can stop Manchester City now.

The race for the Premier League title is turning into a procession after City beat fierce rival Manchester United 2-1 yesterday, extending its lead to 11 points in a record-breaking start to the season.

This 14th straight victory for City is a record run in a single topflight season. No team has ever had this many points — 46 — after 16 games in the Premier League.

To put City’s form into context, 46 points would have secured eighth place in the league last season.

It’s only early December.

Pep Guardiola’s team is doing it in style, too. Having already beaten Liverpool 5-0 and overwhelmed Chelsea in a 1-0 win at Stamford Bridge, City came to Old Trafford to play the other member of the current top four and had 65 per cent possession and almost twice the number of shots.

For most of the first half and in the final stages of the second half, United was overrun in a stadium where it hadn’t lost in any competition since September 2016 — against City, 41 home games

to award a penalty for what he thought was a trip by Otamendi on Ander Herrera. Instead, Herrera was booked for simulation.

“We can speak about anything you want,” Mourinho said, “bring any football theory, bring any stats, ball possession, you can bring anything you want. But like last season, there is a huge penalty (not awarded) in a crucial moment of the game.”

Guardiola, unsurprisingly, saw it differently.

“We won,” Guardiola said, “because we were better.”

And in a nod to his critics, Guardiola added: “I am happy because so many people say you cannot win in England playing like this.”

In the other neighbourly rivalry on derby day in the Premier League, Wayne Rooney converted a penalty to earn Everton a 1-1 draw at Merseyside rival Liverpool. Arsenal scored in the 88th minute to salvage a 1-1 draw at Southampton in the day’s other game.

Both fourth-place Liverpool and fifth-place Arsenal can only realistically think about second place now, which says a lot considering the Premier League hasn’t even reached the busy festive period yet. That is the standard being set

by City.

Both came from defensive mistakes from United striker Romelu Lukaku at set pieces, with David Silva (in the 43rd) and Nicolas Otamendi (in the 54th) the gleeful recipients with close-range finishes.

Marcus Rashford equalised in first-half injury time, also benefiting from a defensive mistake from Otamendi, and United manager Jose Mourinho was left to bemoan the failure of Michael Oliver

SUPER MARIO Mario Balotelli’s cushioned volley from the edge of the penalty area gave Nice a 2-1 win at fifth-place Nantes.

The Italian striker had just missed a more straightforward chance when he curled a firsttime volley into the bottom right corner in the 75th minute, with speedy winger Allan Saint-Maximin again the provider.

It was Balotelli’s ninth goal in 12 league games and prompted one fan to sprint onto the field to congratulate him. The match was briefly held up while security staff wrestled the intruder to the ground and then removed him.
