continued to compete as hard as
they could.
Aubrey will return to tourna-
ment play today.

Whataburger Tournament
SAGINAW - The Sanger
Lady Indians were unable to
stop Waco La Vega, especially
from the 3-point line, and they
suffered a 70-50 loss in the
Whataburger Tournament.
‘We were not ready to play
the No. 2 team in the state,”
Sanger coach Tracy Sykes said.
‘We turned the ball over too
much on the press and could not
stop [Calveion] Landrum from
draining the 3.”
Despite the loss, the Lady In-
dians returned to finish the day
with an exciting one-point win
over Jarrell. Carissa Spiker
drained 15 points to boost Sang-
er in the 51-50 win.
Sanger will return to tourna-
ment play today.

Curtis McElhinney made 39
saves, and 11 players had at least
one point for the Blue Jackets.
Colton Sceviour, Tyler Seguin
and Patrick Sharp scored for Dal-
las. The Stars had their five-game
point streak snapped (4-0-1).
Kari Lehtonen allowed three
goals on 14 shots in the first peri-
od and was replaced by Antti
Niemi to start the second. Niemi
finished with 18 saves.
The Blue Jackets seemed
motivated by Tortorella’s

and was weak mentally. Colum-

Jenner just 35 seconds in and
jumped out to a 3-1 lead in the
first period.
Later in the game, with the
Blue Jackets holding one-goal
leads both times, they turned in
two critical penalty kills that
sparked a pair of timely goals.
Not long after Dallas pulled
within one in the second period,
Hartnell took a slashing penalty
in the attacking zone. But in-
stead of hurting the Blue Jack-
ets, it gave them boost. Saad
scored his 14th just more than a

tight at 18:43 to make it 4-2.
Hanging onto a 4-3 lead in
the third period against the
league’s highest-scoring team,
the Blue Jackets killed off a hold-
ing-the-stick penalty to Saad.
Just more than 3 minutes later,
Hartnell scored his team-lead-
ing 15th into a vacated net after
Niemi went past the hash marks
to clear the puck but instead
passed it directly to Hartnell.
Sharp scored his 14th only
1:12 into the third on a feed from
Jason Spezza.

Philadelphia
Eagles fire coach Kelly
The Philadelphia Eagles
fired Chip Kelly with one game
left in his third season, dumping
the coach after missing the play-
offs in consecutive years.
Kelly was released Tuesday
night just before the end of a dis-
appointing season that began
with Super Bowl expectations.
The Eagles are 6-9 after going
10-6 in each of Kelly’s first two
seasons. They were eliminated
from playoff contention after
losing to Washington at home
on Saturday.
The Eagles also fired Ed
Marynowitz, who was vice presi-
dent of player personnel.
Kelly made several bold
moves that backfired after as-
suming full control of personnel
decisions last offseason. Since
March 2014, he released receiver
DeSean Jackson, traded run-
ning back LeSean McCoy, didn’t
re-sign wideout Jeremy Maclin,
cut Pro Bowl guard Evan Mathis
and traded quarterback Nick
Foies.

ry. The six-time All-Star finished
his career in 1966 with the Cali-
fornia Angels.
He was often seen in spring
training, many times riding a
golf cart with former pitcher
Luis Tiant, pausing to take pic-
tures and chatting with fans at
the club’s complex in Fort
Myers, Florida. He visited Fen-
way Park often after he retired
from his work as a scout, in-
structor and in the front office.
Malzone made it to the big
leagues in 1955 after serving two
years in the Army (1952-53) dur-
ing the Korean War.
Malzone won the Gold Glove
three consecutive seasons (1957-
59) and played in every game in
two straight seasons from 1958-
59. His consecutive-game streak
of 475 remains the team’s lon-
gest since 1920.
There weren’t many re-
bounds to be had on a night
when UNT shot 50 percent (21-
of-42) from the field. Reese
scored 13 points and Brown add-
ed 11 to give the Mean Green

He also gave big money in
free agency to running back De-
Marco Murray and comerback
Byron Maxwell. Murray has
been abust and Maxwell has un-
derperformed.
Johnson helped UNT weath-
er the storm when Sam Houston
(5-8) went on a pair of second-
half runs. The Bearkats went up
41-35 with a 10-2 burst before
UNT answered with back-to-
back 3s from Ja’Michael Brown
and Johnson.
Johnson hit another 3 after a
10-0 Sam Houston run late in
the second half gave the Bear-
cats a 58-56 lead.
Reese took care of the rest af-
ter Jamal Williams scored for
Sam Houston to tie the score at
61. The junior hit four free
throws and a jumper for six
straight points that helped UNT
pull away.
