VERMILLION, S.D. (AP) — Aidan Bouman threw a go-ahead touchdown pass in the fourth quarter and Quaron Adams followed with a 70-yard touchdown on a reverse as No. 4 seed South Dakota pulled away late to beat 13th-seeded Tarleton State 42-31 on Saturday in the second round of the FCS playoffs. South Dakota will host the winner of Saturday’s matchup between No. 5 seed UC Davis and 12th-seeded Illinois State in the third round. The Coyotes (10-2) trailed by seven points four times until Bouman connected with Keyondray Jones-Logan for a 12-yard touchdown and a 35-31 lead with 9:36 left to play. Tim White intercepted a Victor Gabalis pass, giving South Dakota the ball at its own 15-yard line. Adams, a sophomore receiver, raced to the end zone three plays later for his first career rushing touchdown and the Texans (10-4) never recovered in their first trip to the postseason. Gabalis threw three first-half touchdown passes, giving Tarleton State leads of 7-0, 14-7 and 21-14 at halftime. Travis Theis had two short touchdown runs in the first half to pull the Coyotes even and his 2-yard scoring run 51 seconds into the fourth quarter tied it at 28. Tarleton State took its last lead on a 23-yard field goal by Corbin Poston with 11:23 left to play. Bouman completed 18 of 22 passes for 213 yards and also had a 5-yard scoring toss to Jones-Logan off a deflected pass that stood up to a video review and tied the game at 21. Theis carried 25 times for 130 yards. Gabalis totaled 379 yards on 23-for-31 passing with four touchdowns and three interceptions. Darius Cooper caught nine passes for 161 yards and three scores.

Trump encounters Senate GOP limits with failed Gaetz AG push

Dec. 23—At the end of many practices, West Greene boys basketball coach Jim Romanus lets his players try to make half-court shots for fun. Lane Allison took the long-shot idea a lot farther Friday night and made what has to be one of the most incredible buzzer-beaters in WPIAL basketball history. A regulation high school basketball court is 84 feet long. Allison made his shot from about 81 feet. It was truly a length-of-the-court shot that hit nothing but net, gave West Greene a thrilling 51-50 victory against Chartiers-Houston and brought a kid from a small school in Greene County loads of attention. Social media video clips of Allison's shot got tens of thousands of views by Sunday night. "I think it's pretty awesome," Allison said. "It was a one-in-a-million shot, I guess." West Greene coach Jim Romanus said, "I've coached a long time. This is my 48th year overall on the varsity level. I've never seen a shot like that in all my years." There are buzzer-beater shots — and then there is this one. Words can't describe. Look at how Lane Allison of tiny West Greene High School beat Chartiers-Houston Friday night 52-51 in the WPIAL. Literally full court at the buzzer. ESPN SportsCenter are you watching? pic.twitter.com/L53nfSmJwQ — Mike White (@mwhiteburgh) December 22, 2024 There was drama surrounding Allison's surreal shot, and it helps make a story worth retelling. Allison made a 3-pointer to tie the game, 48-48, with 11 seconds remaining. After a timeout, Chartiers-Houston scored a layup with four seconds left. Now check this out: Romanus tried to immediately call a timeout, but the officials didn't see him or hear him. Instead, Parker Burns grabbed the ball and quickly passed it to Allison. But Allison was inbounds by only a few feet. Lane AllisonLane Allison No matter. Allison was West Greene's football quarterback, so he made like he was throwing a deep pass to a receiver. His right arm threw the ball somewhat like a football ... the ball stayed in the air for seemingly five seconds ... it swished ... Allison took off running around the court in celebration ... his teammates and assistant coach chased him ... they caught him under the basket at the other end of the court. Let Allison take you through the unforgettable moments. "After the [Chartiers-Houston] kid flipped one in, I peaked up at the clock and called for the ball," Allison said. "I was thinking coach might call a timeout, but I was going to shoot it no matter what. Thank goodness they didn't give him the timeout. I let it go, and I guess the rest is history. "It was probably about half court that the ball started curving left toward the basket. I started thinking it might have a chance. When it went in, I jumped up, untucked my shirt, and I pretty much blacked out from there. I just remember our assistant coach [Kolton Rush] tackling me into the wall." Romanus remembers the ball traveling through the air for what seemed like about 10 seconds. "When he let it go, I remember hearing the buzzer go off when the ball was about at midcourt," Romanus said. "When it went through, the whole place erupted. It was a once-in-a-lifetime shot." Romanus was asked by a few fans why he didn't chase Allison around the court in celebration like his players and assistant coach. "I told them that I'm 73, and it's hard for me to get around, period, let alone running around," Romanus said with a laugh. And here's another twist to the story. Allison's father, Jeremiah, was working the clock. "When he let it go, it almost hit the ceiling or the rafters," Jeremiah Allison said. "To hear everyone talk, it seemed like it took minutes to come down. I stood up and threw my arms in the air. Then I realized, I need to do what the officials tell me. They got together for a few seconds, and then one of them said, 'Count the bucket.'" Allison is a 6-foot-1 senior guard, a three-sport athlete who came into the season with 1,041 career points. No matter what he does the rest of his career, he has left a legacy — with one shot. "When I went home and went to bed, I couldn't sleep at all," Allison said. "I just had so much adrenaline."

Braid: Who's the boss at Calgary city hall? Council budget debate shows bureaucracy in chargeFrance (30) 37 Tries: Flament, Villiere, Penalty, Bielle-Biarrey Cons: Ramos 3 Pen: Ramos 3 Argentina (9) 23 Try: Gallo, Ruiz Con: Albornoz 2 Pen: Albornoz 3 France avenged their summer defeat by Argentina with a comfortable victory in Paris to maintain their winning run in the Autumn Nations Series. Thibaud Flament powered over from close range to hand the hosts an early lead but the boot of Tomas Albornoz kept the Pumas in touching distance. Gabin Villiere finished off a flowing French move for their second try before Juan Martin Gonzalez was sent to the sin bin for deliberately knocking on the ball with Louis Bielle-Biarrey poised to score a third. France were not to be denied, however, and they were awarded a penalty try before reaching the interval at Stade de France with a healthy 30-9 lead. The Pumas, who were narrowly edged out by Ireland in their last outing, recovered after the break and were held up over the line before Thomas Gallo crossed for their opening try. Bielle-Biarrey showed his class at the other end to latch onto his own kick through and score his 10th Test try in 14 appearances to restore France's advantage. Argentina remained resolute and Ignacio Ruiz came off the bench to score a powerful consolation but France claimed their sixth win in their past seven meetings against the South American side. Les Bleus, who last suffered defeat in July when they were beaten 33-25 by Argentina in Buenos Aires, have won all three autumn games after victories over Japan and New Zealand. Speaking to TNT Sports, France lock Emmanuel Meafou said: "We knew it was going to be an 80-minute game. We saw last week how Argentina went all the way against a good Irish team. "We are happy with the win. We have three from three [in the autumn] and we will look to build on that in the Six Nations next year."

The Hawks also placed defenseman Alec Martinez on injured reserve with a neck injury, retroactive to Dec. 7. Nazar leads all AHL rookies in goals (11) and points (24) as of Friday, and he ranks seventh and sixth in those categories among all skaters. The 5-foot-10 center recently had a four-game point streak in which he recorded three goals and five assists. The Hawks have been playing better under interim coach Anders Sorensen , who has emphasized getting defensemen more involved on offense, but they still rank third from last in goals per game (3.17). The Hawks drafted Nazar at No. 13 in 2022, and he’s generally regarded as the team’s top offensive prospect. Chicago Blackhawks prospect watch: Injuries tested Frank Nazar’s resilience — and now he feels more mature for camp He played his first three NHL games at the tail end of last season, scoring a goal in his Blackhawks debut against the Carolina Hurricanes on April 14. He’ll get his first chance this season against the New Jersey Devils at noon Saturday (CHSN) at Prudential Center. Meanwhile, with Martinez joining Seth Jones (right foot) on IR, the Hawks will be without their top two defensemen.

It’s impossible to talk about Marvel Rivals without talking about Overwatch ; the two hero shooters share a lot of the same DNA, and the team at NetEase clearly looked at the wildly popular FPS and cribbed a few notes. Now that Marvel Rivals is a successful game in its own right, attracting its own fan base, some of the old arguments that plagued Overwatch are recurring — and many players are hoping that this time, things will turn out differently. Take, for instance, the game’s three roles. There are the high-damage Duelists, team-defending Vanguards, and supportive Strategists. A common, and admittedly aggravating, issue is to load into a game only to have everyone immediately lock in Duelists. Vanguards and Strategists simply aren’t as popular, maybe because it’s harder to get a cool quadra-kill with their abilities. If you played Overwatch back in 2016, this probably sounds very familiar. Players from that era remember watching their teammates lock in as Hanzo and Widowmaker, leaving them to reluctantly play as a tank or healer. I remember playing Mercy for many games in a row, hoping in the next game one of my teammates would recognize my despair and let me finally play Pharah. They never did, because random gamers online are rarely known for their charity. Overwatch solved this problem in 2019 with role queue; players would go into a game knowing each team had to have a certain lineup of tanks, healers, or damage characters. If you played one of the less popular roles, you’d even get extra rewards. Blizzard also spent a lot of time tweaking Overwatch ’s balance to fit into this structure, with characters receiving balance changes or even full reworks to make sure they fit into the squad. With Overwatch 2 , Blizzard even removed a person from each team, turning the 6v6 game into a 5v5 instead. Marvel Rivals doesn’t have a role queue system, nor is it as stringently balanced as Overwatch . Characters like Jeff the Land Shark , while they are potent healers, are also able to pull off game-changing abilities like pulling the entire enemy team into their maw and spitting them off the edge of the map. This means that while queuing up, you could run into a team full of Strategists, or a team with a heavy Vanguard front line protecting just one or two Duelists. Right now, Marvel Rivals allows for such flexibility and freedom — and once upon a time, so did Overwatch . One of the factors that led to the addition of role queue was the GOATS meta , named after the team that popularized the composition of three tanks, three healers. GOATS dominated high-level Overwatch play for a time, including pro games, and it was criticized not just for being frustrating to play against but also boring to watch. But Marvel Rivals isn’t beholden to a professional circuit or competitive expectations; it’s very much a loosey-goosey take on the genre where most heroes are, in the right hands, at least a little bit broken. That is a big part of why some fans like the game so much; if they wanted to play a high-stakes competitive shooter, they would simply go play one of the existing esports-heavy games on the market. Still, the conversation around whether role queue is necessary or should be added continues to be one of the major topics in the Marvel Rivals community, and it has been for months . The Marvel Rivals devs at NetEase told Dot Esports they have no plans to add role queue at this time, and they have the chance to break apart from the Overwatch path and push what makes Marvel Rivals so unique. Until we find a way to convince all the Duelist fans out there to occasionally flex into tanking or healing, it’s likely the debate will continue to rage on fan forums and social media.
