North Carolina loses to California in season opener 35-30
North Carolina loses to California in season opener 35-30 North Carolina had questions at quarterback leading up into its game against California, questions that will likely continue after losing to the Golden Bears 35-30 at home in the first game of the 2017 season. UNC, which finished last season 8-5, was 14 point favorites at home over Cal, which came into the season with a new coach, Justin Wilcox. But the Tar Heels were the ones who struggled offensively and had one too many breakdowns on defense. Those breakdowns resulted in 54-yard and 67-yard touchdown passes from Cal quarterback Ross Bowers. On offense, UNC coach Larry Fedora used a committee of quarterbacks on Saturday. Both Brandon Harris and Chazz Surratt played. But after Harris threw his second interception late in the third quarter, Surratt played the rest of the way. Surratt performed well at times, but did not make many big plays. He relied mainly on his feet to pick up first downs when he was in trouble. Harris threw for 60 yards and completed 7 of 16 passes. Surratt threw for 161 yards, and completed 18 of 28 passes and a touchdown. He also ran for 64 yards on 15 carries and a touchdown. Cal struck first on an 7-play, 85-yard touchdown drive in the first quarter. It took just under two minutes to complete and ended with a 10-yard touchdown pass in the corner of the end zone from quarterback Ross Bowers to wide receiver Jordan Veasy. UNC responded with a score on its next drive. After a few big runs by true freshman Michael Carter to get the ball to the 2-yard line, Carter scored from 2 yards out, to tie the game 7-7. The Tar Heels scored two more times, a field goal and a 9-yard touchdown by Carter again to go up 17-7, before Cal answered back. Late in the second half, UNC forced Cal to a third-and-long deep in its own territory with less than two minutes left in the first half. Cal quarterback Ross Bowers threw an incomplete pass, but UNC defensive lineman Jalen Dalton hit him in the head and well after the throw. Dalton was ejected for targeting, and Cal advanced the ball 15 yards to its 33. After that, Bowers threw a 67-yard touchdown pass to Vic Wharton III to bring Cal within three points with 1:08 left in the first half 17-14. Both teams came out slow in the second half. California scored on a 54-yard touchdown pass by Bowers with 4:23 seconds left through the third quarter. Harris threw another interception in UNC territory on the next possession. But UNC’s Smith intercepted it back and nearly returned it for a score before being tackled at the 4-yard line. Surratt threw his first career touchdown pass from 4 yards out to put UNC up 24-21. But Cal answered right away, putting together a long touchdown drive to regain the lead 28-21. Cal kept the lead for good.

FHL Highlights 1/24/16 Dayton Demolition vs Danville Dashers
Demolition Quiet the Dashers 3-2 in OT By Lee W. Mowen DAYTON, OHIO - A Sunday evening battle was the perfect way to start the new week, with the Danville Dashers and the Dayton Demolition keeping it close. With a major penalty kill and intense offensive pressure, the Wrecking Crew outlasted the Dashers 3-2 in overtime. Justin Brausen dropped a pass to the slot for Scott Morongell for the first goal of tonight's game, at the 15:41 mark of the 1st Period. Brausen's vision behing the goal line marked his 20th assist on the season with Morongell's net-burial counting for his fourth. Dayton, while unable to push anything past Matt Anthony in the first, outshot the Danville crew 9-7 after one. Dayton got on the board with a Harry Mahesh Power Play goal at the 5:44 mark of the 2nd. Mahesh, scoring his seventh goal of the year, moved the puck smoothly past Danville's goalie, with some help from Myles McCauley (his first game with Dayton) and Jacques Lamoureux. The Dashers got the lead again at the 11:33 point of the 2nd, with Ray Tremblay's ninth tally (and a Derrick Schwartz and Justin Levac assist to go.) Danville had another one-goal lead after forty minutes. The only goal of the 3rd Period was marked at the 11:35 bracket, with a Mike Henderson redirect from the captain Brian Marks and Chris Wilcox, registering his first point in Dayton. Fans at Hara Arena then collected all of their breath at the 15:25 mark, when Ryan Timar was charged with a High Stick major and a Cross-Checking Minor. The Dashers would have seven minutes with a man down and up to start the OT. The Demolition Penalty Kill unit came to play today, as they would hold Danville scoreless in four opportunities. After Dayton's crew killed off a long advantage, Martin Uhnak and company went to work on Matt Anthony. With just 12 seconds to Dayton and Danville's third shootout, it was Uhnak's 11th goal of the year to give the hometown crowd a smile on Sunday and a 3-2 OT win. Matt Anthony was solid in the pipes tonight, turning away 39 saves on 42 shots. Brent Troyan was the victor tonight, with 23 saves on 25 shots and a couple of long stretches to boot. Anthony's record dropped to 20-6-3, whereas Troyan improved his young record to 2-2-0. Dayton improves to 7-15-3 with their second straight OT triumph; Danville fell to 23-7-3. Myles McCauley was the third star tonight with his first assist with Dayton, Brian Marks chimed in as the 2nd star with two assists, and Martin Uhnak's OT goal gave him the top star. Dayton hosts Danbury, Berlin, and Port Huron this Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. For more information on tickets and broadcasting info, please visit demolitionhockey.com.
Blackburn Rovers v Wigan Athletic FA Cup 3rd Round 3rd January 1998
Blackburn were flying high at the top of the Premier League at the time, with Latics in Division Two (now League One). Over 5000 Latics fans made the journey, in what must be one of our biggest ever away followings. Manager at the time was John Deehan, with Roberto Martinez playing in midfield and putting through the ball for David Lee for Latics first goal. Manager of Blackburn was Roy Hodgson, who tried to belittle Latics great 2nd half comeback attempt by claiming Blackburn could have won 10-0. Blackburn Rovers: T Flowers P Valery J Kenna C Hendry S Henchoz T Sherwood G Flitcroft D Duff K Gallacher (J Wilcox 71) S Ripley (J Beattie 76) C Sutton Wigan Athletic R Carroll S Green S Morgan P McGibbon C Greenall R Martinez I Kilford (D Lowe 58) D Lee P Rogers J Smeets G Jones
3-9-12 Tri-City Storm vs Omaha Lancers
Omaha came into this one wanting to avenge the loss from last Sunday. They ran into a goalie that was on his game in Wilcox, but they were finally able to solve that riddle in the third period and get to the business of scoring goals. Another tremendous performance from Alex Lyon let this one end in a shutout. Highlights....
