When the weather starts to turn cold and damp in many parts of the country just before Thanksgiving, there are some teams that seem to thrive and others -- especially those built on speed and quickness -- that sputter.
A good example of that was the stunning upset of nationally ranked Gateway (Monroeville, Pa.) on Saturday night at Heinz Field in Pittsburgh.
Gateway never got untracked in its Western Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic League Class AAAA final against Bethel Park and suffered its first loss of the season, 10-6.
The defeat ended any hopes Gateway had of a mythical national title and sent Bethel Park (13-0) on to this week's PIAA state quarterfinals, where it will meet State College, which is also unbeaten.
Bethel Park moved up to No. 28 in this week's ESPN RISE FAB 50, while Gateway hung on at No. 46 -- quite a tumble from the fourth spot. The team's final ranking will now be determined by how Bethel Park fares for the rest of the playoffs.
Lyle Marsh led the grind-it-out offense of Bethel Park with 27 carries for 113 yards and one touchdown, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
In addition to Bethel Park, there were five other newcomers in this week's new rankings: Hightower of Fort Bend, Texas (fresh off its win over previous No. 17 and unbeaten North Shore); Pearland of Pearland, Texas; Homestead of Mequon, Wis.; State College, Pa.; and Oakton of Vienna, Va.
Another team on the rise is new No. 21 Notre Dame of Sherman Oaks, Calif. The Knights (11-0) made their FAB 50 debut just three weeks ago, jumped up to No. 33 two weeks ago and are now on the outside edge of the top 20.
Several final top-20 positions likely will be nailed down this week as more state championships are decided. The most significant for the national rankings will be Ohio's Division I state final Saturday night at Fawcett Stadium in Canton -- a matchup of No. 10 St. Ignatius of Cleveland and No. 16 Elder of Cincinnati. One group of Floridians rooting for Elder are the fans connected to St. Thomas Aquinas of Fort Lauderdale. St. Thomas Aquinas' mythical national championship hopes are pinned on Elder, as the Florida team delivered Elder's only loss of the season.
The ESPN RISE FAB 50 rankings were compiled by a panel of ESPN RISE and ESPN.com high school editors, which includes Mark Tennis, Doug Huff, Chris Lawlor, Jon Mahoney, Sheldon Shealer, Ronnie Flores and Paul Muyskens.
1. Trinity (Euless, Texas)
Record: 12-0
Points: 250, five first-place votes
Previous rank: 1
Head coach Steve Lineweaver usually relies on a hard-nosed offense based on the run, but when Saturday's battle with Plano began to look like a shootout, senior quarterback Denarius McGhee came up big as a thrower in leading the Trojans to a 42-35 win at Texas Stadium in the second-round of the Class 5A Division I state playoffs. McGhee completed 13 of 20 passes for 302 yards and two touchdowns, while also rushing for a score and directing an offense that piled up 507 yards. McGhee's 26-yard TD pass to Tyree Tucker late in the fourth quarter broke a 35-35 tie. The Trojans' defense had a heck of a time slowing down the Wildcats, who got 142 yards and three scores on the ground from Rex Burkhead, while Carson Meger threw for another 297 yards. Trinity will battle 8-4 Arlington High on Saturday at Texas Stadium in a 5A DI Region I semifinal. The Colts are led by junior QB Matt Joeckel, who hit on a TD pass with 28 seconds left to provide the winning margin in a 28-27 win over Odessa High. Joeckel has thrown for 30 TDs and ran for another 10 this year.
2. St. Thomas Aquinas (Fort Lauderdale, Fla.)
Record: 11-0
Points: 244
Previous rank: 2
The Raiders coasted to a 35-7 win over Coconut Creek in the Class 4A state playoffs. At times, it appeared Aquinas was practicing against Creek and using the game as a tune-up. Senior WR Duron Carter caught three passes for 92 yards and two touchdowns. The Raiders led 28-7 at intermission and played mostly backups in the second half. Next up for STA is a Broward County clash with Fort Lauderdale Dillard and star RB Trabis Ward.
3. Lowndes (Valdosta, Ga.)
Record: 12-0
Points: 241
Previous rank: 3
The Vikings easily picked up their school-record 26th straight win, a 62-21 victory over Bradwell Institute on Friday night at Martin Stadium. The game ball went to junior running back Robert Anderson, who found the end zone four times. The Vikings also racked up over 400 yards of offense. Lowndes will next host Grayson in the state quarterfinals on Friday.
4. Poly (Long Beach, Calif.)
Record: 11-0
Points: 232*
Previous rank: 5
It was a close call for the Jackrabbits in their CIF Southern Section Pac-Five Division playoff opener against Bishop Amat as they rallied for a 21-17 triumph. Senior RB Melvin Richardson, who earlier scored on a 15-yard run, scored the game-winner with 1:23 left on a 1-yard plunge. Poly trailed 10-0 at halftime before taking the lead on back-to-back TDs. Bishop Amat then took a 17-14 lead early in the fourth quarter. Head coach Raul Lara's team still has a tough set of games in front of it before winning the section title and earning a probable berth in the CIF state bowl games, including this week against Esperanza of Anaheim. The Jackrabbits could face red-hot FAB 50-ranked Notre Dame of Sherman Oaks in the final.
5. Armwood (Seffner, Fla.)
Record: 11-0
Points: 232*
Previous rank: 6
The Hawks topped a tough Winter Haven squad 30-14 in the first round of the Class 5A state playoffs. Armwood used its version of the Wildcat formation to rush for over 300 yards with QB Mywan Jackson and RB Tavari Grant. Jackson finished the night with 172 yards and three touchdowns while Grant rushed for 174 yards and added a score. Next up for the Hawks is a rematch against Tampa Bay Tech.
6. Oscar Smith (Chesapeake, Va.)
Record: 13-0
Points: 223
Previous rank: 7
The Tigers' bid for a state semifinal berth seemed well in hand until a late-game scare from Ocean Lakes. Trailing 28-7 with less than three minutes left, Ocean Lakes scored twice and appeared to recover an onside kick with 43 seconds left before a penalty negated the play. Oscar Smith held on for the 28-21 victory. Perry Jones, the Virginia-bound running back, was a one-man wrecking crew, rolling up 228 yards and scoring all four Oscar Smith touchdowns. After pulling within seven, Ocean Lakes attempted a second onside kick but the ball, according to the officials, did not travel 10 yards before Ocean Lakes touched it, returning possession to Oscar Smith, which ran out the clock with three straight kneel-downs. Oscar Smith takes on new FAB 50-ranked Oakton in Saturday's Division 6 state semifinals.
7. Lake Travis (Austin, Texas)
Record: 12-0
Points: 219
Previous rank: 8
Lake Travis looked mortal for a half on Friday night, as Cibolo Steele used a power running game to post a 21-14 halftime lead, even intercepting star QB Garrett Gilbert once. The lead was short-lived, however, as Gilbert ran for two scores and threw for a third in a second half that saw Lake Travis outscore Steele 24-0 on the way to a 38-21 victory in a Class 4A Division I second-round game. Gilbert finished the night with 290 yards, two scores through the air and three rushing touchdowns. Undefeated Alice is up next for coach Chad Morris' squad as it looks to repeat as 4A DI state champions.
8. St. Xavier (Louisville, Ky.)
Record: 11-0
Points: 211*
Previous rank: 9
The Tigers continue to run roughshod over in-state opponents. In a Class 6A regional playoff, St. Xavier routed city rival Pleasure Ridge Park for the second time this season, 48-6. Senior running back Deuce Finch ran for 198 yards and five touchdowns. Senior quarterback Matt Brutscher passed for 128 yards and added a rushing TD. The Tigers have outscored two playoff victims 120-13. Next up is another city foe, Manual, which fell to St. X 57-0 in the regular season.
9. Camden County (Kingsland, Ga.)
Record: 12-0
Points: 211*
Previous rank: 10
The game between the Wildcats and previous FAB 50-ranked Northside of Warner Robins lived up to its pregame billing and was decided in the fourth quarter as Camden County won 28-20. The Wildcats rallied to take the lead on a 5-yard touchdown run by senior RB Greg Baker, his second of the game, with less than 10 minutes in the fourth quarter. Senior RB Daniel Valdez followed that up with a 2-yard touchdown scamper to preserve the win. The Wildcats take on Woodstock at Gilman Stadium in Friday's state playoff game.
10. St. Ignatius (Cleveland)
Record: 13-1
Points: 208
Previous rank: 11
The Wildcats will be seeking their 10th state championship after dismantling North Canton Hoover 34-7 in the Division 1 semifinals. St. Ignatius leads all Ohio schools in titles since playoffs started in 1972, and coach Chuck Kyle was at the helm of all nine between 1988-2001. St. Ignatius, riding a 13-game win streak, had a balanced attack blended with solid defense against Hoover. Patrick Hinkel, a Miami of Ohio recruit, scored four short-yardage touchdowns, including a blocked punt return, and senior quarterback Andrew Holland connected on 18 of 26 passes for 235 yards. The Wildcats will play FAB 50 No. 16 Cincinnati Elder (13-1) on Saturday night in Canton for the title.
11. South Panola (Batesville, Miss.)
Record: 13-0
Points: 200
Previous rank: 12
The Nicholas Parker Show threatens to become The Greatest Show on Earth. Led by the powerful junior, who is making his case early for Mr. Football 2009 in the state, the Tigers ran their victory string to 88 with a 21-14 win over upset-minded Northwest Rankin in the 5A quarterfinals. All Parker did was carry the ball 58 times -- yep, 58 -- for 373 yards and, of course, all three TDs as South Panola never trailed. Parker ran for scores of 11, 33 and 2 yards before more than 7,500 spectators at Robert Dunlap Stadium. That gives Parker 2,185 yards and 26 TDs, but since he didn't play a lot after halftime this year, more illuminating may be the 605 yards he has racked up the past two weeks. Next up for the Tigers will be dangerous Madison Central, coached by Bobby Hall, who has captured four state championships. Madison Central's 42-22 romp over Northwest Rankin earlier this year should be enough to keep South Panola focused.
12. Centennial (Corona, Calif.)
Record: 11-0
Points: 196
Previous rank: 13
It seems like it will only be a matter of time before the Huskies are up into the top 10 and even closer to Long Beach Poly. They won their CIF Southern Section Inland Division playoff opener 62-7 over Yucaipa behind senior running back Arthur Burns, who scooted for 207 yards on 17 carries and scored three TDs. UCLA-bound WR Ricky Marvray also had a strong outing with two TD catches on throws from Taylor Martinez plus a 55-yard punt return for a score. Next up for Centennial is a meeting with Vista Murrieta in the quarterfinals. Vista Murrieta won its first-round game 28-20 over Moreno Valley.
13. Lakeland (Fla.)
Record: 11-0
Points: 188*
Previous rank: 15
Lakeland capitalized on three turnovers and scored five touchdowns in the first quarter to cruise to a 48-6 win against Bloomingdale. Sophomore WR Javares McCoy returned a punt 65 yards and Deonte Gary recovered a blocked field goal and raced 71 yards for a score. The special teams and defense proved to be the difference in the game. Friday, the Dreadnaughts square off with Osceola in a Class 5A state playoff matchup.
14. Phoebus (Hampton, Va.)
Record: 13-0
Points: 188*
Previous rank: 14
The Phantoms turned to their defense for a 14-0 victory over previously undefeated Lake Taylor. The Phoebus defense forced four turnovers, two that resulted in scoring drives, and it held Lake Taylor's explosive running back game to 43 yards as the program secured a third straight state semifinal berth. Senior QB Tajh Boyd connected on a 38-yard scoring pass to DaQuan Romero and Shawne Alston scored on a touchdown run for Phoebus. Phoebus will take on FAB 50-ranked Stone Bridge in Saturday's highly anticipated Division 5 state semifinals. Stone Bridge beat Phoebus last year to win the Division 5 state title.
15. Skyline (Sammamish, Wash.)
Record: 12-0
Points: 178
Previous rank: 16
The Skyline defense shut down a powerful Auburn rushing attack that averaged nearly 400 yards a game and got some big plays from their offense to cruise past the Trojans 38-2 in the Class 4A state playoffs. Junior quarterback Jake Heaps completed 17 of 24 passes for 204 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions. Washington State commit Gino Simone led the way with eight grabs for 95 yards and two touchdowns, including a 55-yard punt return for a score. Saturday, the Spartans will face Ferris (10-1) in the Class 4A semifinals.
16. Elder (Cincinnati)
Record: 13-1
Points: 173
Previous rank: 18
The Panthers advanced to the state Division 1 title game with a 24-10 semifinal victory over previously unbeaten Pickerington Central. Elder, which has lost only to FAB 50 No. 2 St. Thomas Aquinas of Florida, will play FAB 50 No. 10 St. Ignatius in the finals Saturday night in Canton. Elder will be seeking its first state crown since repeating as champion in 2003. Against Pickerington Central, Elder fell behind 10-0 in the second quarter before taking charge. Junior quarterback Mark Miller completed 17 of 26 passes for 251 yards and a touchdown.
17. Permian (Odessa, Texas)
Record: 12-0
Points: 163
Previous rank: 21
While many in Texas were facing tough second-round tests, the Panthers pounced on a shaky Burleson squad Friday night, racing to a 42-7 halftime lead on the way to an easy 56-21 win. Senior quarterback Trevor Adams continued his strong play, completing 17 of 20 passes for 269 yards and two touchdowns while rushing for a third. The road will get tougher for Mojo from here on out, as Permian travels to Texas Stadium to battle FAB 50 No. 33 Allen on Friday.
18. Don Bosco Prep (Ramsey, N.J.)
Record: 9-1
Points: 161*
Previous rank: 20
Don Bosco upended St. Peter's Prep 38-13 in the Non-Public Group IV semifinals. The previous two years, the two-time defending champion Ironmen had bested the Marauders in the finals. Senior running back Dillon Romain ran for 99 yards and three touchdowns, while senior quarterback Brett Knief passed for 109 yards and two scores. The Ironmen will go for their third-straight title when they play rival Bergen Catholic in the finals on Dec. 6 at Giants Stadium. Don Bosco cruised past Bergen Catholic 38-7 in their other meeting this season. But before they meet up with Bergen Catholic, the Ironmen will continue their Thanksgiving rivalry against Paramus Catholic on Thursday.
19. Maryville (Tenn.)
Record: 13-0
Points: 161*
Previous rank: 19
Maryville scored in a variety of ways Friday night. The Rebels scored on a fake punt, a fumble recovery and a more conventional rushing touchdown as they defeated Rhea County 28-8 in the Class 4A state playoffs. The win extends the Rebels' winning streak to 73 games. Maryville will play against Greeneville in the state semifinals Friday.
20. Stone Bridge (Ashburn, Va.)
Record: 13-0
Points: 154
Previous rank: 22
In a battle of undefeated teams, Stone Bridge used a stellar defensive effort to propel the team to a 35-6 victory over Edison. Minus a 54-yard scoring run in the fourth quarter with the game well in hand, Stone Bridge's defense allowed only 71 yards on 25 Edison rushes. Stone Bridge also forced three turnovers and blocked a punt. Offensively, Stone Bridge broke a scoreless tie with a 21-point second quarter and tacked on 14 more before Edison scored late in the game. John Bladel and Marcus Harris each scored twice for Stone Bridge. Stone Bridge faces Phoebus in Saturday's Division 5 state semifinals.
21. Notre Dame (Sherman Oaks, Calif.)
Record: 11-0
Points: 151
Previous rank: 33
Big-time junior Ryan Kasdorf continued to shine with 234 yards passing and four more TDs, but some of his teammates took some of the spotlight in a 42-0 win over Compton. The CIF Southern Section Pac-Five Division playoff victory also featured wide receiver James Flynn, who caught three TD passes and now has 19 for the season, and running back Kenny Boggs, who rushed for 104 yards and two scores. Since the Knights came into the playoffs fresh off a 56-21 romp past Bishop Amat and since Bishop Amat nearly knocked off Long Beach Poly in another first-round game, this became another chance for Notre Dame to jump further in the rankings.
22. Dorman (Roebuck, S.C.)
Record: 13-0
Points: 149
Previous rank: 23
Senior RB Ash Butler ran for 113 yards and two touchdowns as Dorman overcame a 14-0 deficit to defeat Lexington 38-14 in the Class 6A state playoffs. Lexington led 14-0 with less than six minutes remaining in the first half, but Dorman responded with 17 points to lead at halftime, 17-14. Dorman will host Byrnes in the state semifinals. Dorman handed Byrnes its only loss of the season earlier this year.
23. North Penn (Lansdale, Pa.)
Record: 13-0
Points: 144
Previous rank: 25
The Knights crushed Downingtown West 51-21 in the District 1 Class AAAA semifinals. Senior running back Tyler Smith had four touchdown runs, including a 52-yarder. Meanwhile, senior quarterback Justin Davey ran and threw for touchdowns. North Penn advances to play regionally ranked Neshaminy (11-1) in the district finals on Friday.
24. Plant (Tampa, Fla.)
Record: 10-1
Points: 132
Previous rank: 26
The Panthers blasted Lakewood Ranch 67-7 in the Class 5A regional quarterfinals. Plant's defense scored a pair of touchdowns and that was enough in the one-sided blowout. Junior LB Mike Mirabella forced a fumble and returned it 10 yards for a touchdown. On offense, sophomore QB Phillip Ely tossed four touchdowns in a 231-yard passing performance. Plant tackles Bradenton Southeast in Friday's contest.
25. De La Salle (Concord, Calif.)
Record: 9-1
Points: 120
Previous rank: 27
With 16 consecutive CIF North Coast Section titles, giving the Spartans a first-round bye in the Division I playoffs is certainly well-deserved. They will play their first postseason game this Friday against 8-3 Deer Valley, which advanced with a 24-20 win over Berkeley.
26. Prattville (Prattville, Ala.)
Record: 11-1
Points: 119
Previous rank: 29
It would be difficult to look any more impressive than the Lions did in crushing highly regarded and previously unbeaten Auburn, 42-0. Playing their final home game, the seniors, who never lost in the friendly confines of Stanley-Jensen Stadium, recorded their seventh shutout of the season. The defense scored two touchdowns, one on a blocked punt and another on a fumble recovery, to complement the usual big game from senior RB Jerodis Williams, who averaged better than a first down a carry in gaining 156 yards on 15 carries, two of which went for touchdowns. In all, the Lions amassed 372 yards. Prattville, which has outscored its playoff opponents 141-30, jumped on top 21-0 after one quarter and cruised. It doesn't figure to be as easy this week as Prattville meets Davidson (11-2) in the Class 6A semifinals.
27. Byrnes (Duncan, S.C.)
Record: 12-1
Points: 118
Previous rank: 30
Junior quarterback Chas Dodd threw for 262 yards and five touchdowns as Byrnes defeated Clover 48-7 in its second playoff game. The Rebels' defense held Clover to 65 passing yards and 110 rushing while the offense totaled 413 yards. The win propels Byrnes to the state semifinals, where it will play the only team to defeat it this season -- Dorman.
28. Bethel Park (Pittsburgh)
Record: 13-0
Points: 114
Previous rank: NR
Bethel Park notched perhaps the most surprising victory of the 2008 season when it upset then-No. 4 Gateway 10-6 in the WPIAL Class AAAA finals for its first WPIAL crown. With the way Gateway was playing this season, it was assumed the Gators would not only roll to the WPIAL title but the state crown, as well. But Bethel Park used a stingy defense to limit Gateway's high-powered offense to only 107 yards. Meanwhile, Bethel Park senior running back Lyle Marsh ran for 113 yards and a touchdown on 27 carries. Bethel Park's reward for its eye-opening win? A meeting with FAB 50 No. 49 State College in the PIAA Class AAAA state quarterfinals on Friday.
29. John T. Curtis (River Ridge, La.)
Record: 11-1
Points: 109
Previous rank: 31
A 29-point first quarter pretty much decided this one early as the Patriots rolled to their 11th straight victory, downing University Lab 49-14 in the second round of the 2A playoffs to jump into the top 30. Junior RB Kenny Cain bounded 30 yards for the first score and the rout was on. Senior QB Evan Ingram scored on runs of 22, 1 and 39 yards as the Patriots rolled to a 42-0 lead before backing off. Remember, that loss to open the season was a 16-pointer to FAB 50 No. 1 Trinity. Next up for Curtis will be Aquinas in the 2A quarterfinals. The Falcons advanced with a shutout win over Homer.
30. Madison County (Madison, Fla.)
Record: 10-0
Points: 104
Previous rank: 34
The Cowboys jumped out to a 21-0 lead behind senior RB Corey Akins en route to a 35-0 shutout over Marianna in the Class 2B state playoffs. Akins ran for 149 yards and three scores -- two in the third quarter to put the game out of reach. The defense, led by LB Justin Hampton, bottled up Marianna RB Bradley Battles and limited him to 75 yards on 24 carries. Madison will next tangle with Pensacola Catholic.
31. Maine South (Park Ridge, Ill.)
Record: 13-0
Points: 102
Previous rank: 32
The Hawks advanced to the state Class 8A title game with a 23-6 semifinal victory over previously unbeaten Bartlett. Maine South will play Hinsdale Central (11-2) in the finals on Saturday in Champaign. Against Bartlett, junior running back Matt Perez rushed 15 times for 125 yards and two touchdowns. Senior quarterback Charlie Goro completed 21 of 29 passes for 177 yards and ran for a score. Maine South has won state crowns in 1995 and 2000 and finished runner-up three straight years from 2003-05.
32. South Pointe (Rock Hill, S.C.)
Record: 13-0
Points: 97
Previous rank: 36
Senior QB Stephon Gilmore accounted for four touchdowns as South Pointe defeated Berkeley 48-14 in the quarterfinals of the state playoffs. Gilmore threw for three touchdowns and rushed for another in the win. Friday, the Stallions will host Laurens in the state semifinals.
33. Allen (Texas)
Record: 11-1
Points: 94
Previous rank: 38
Saturday night's 56-28 rout of Coppell may be dampened by the possibility that Allen could be losing star junior quarterback Matt Brown for the rest of the year. Brown was to be X-rayed on Monday to determine if he has a broken collarbone after taking a hard hit to his left (non-throwing) shoulder late in the first half. Brown has accounted for 40 touchdowns (27 passing and 13 rushing) this year. Jeremiah Williams and Uzoma Nwachukwu led the Allen assault between the lines on Saturday, each scoring three times in the first half as the Eagles stormed out to a 49-14 halftime lead before Brown's injury. Allen finished with a whopping 446 yards on the ground. No. 17 Permian is up next Friday at Texas Stadium.
34. Glenville (Cleveland)
Record: 11-1 (Season complete)
Points: 87
Previous rank: 35
Glenville split decisions with FAB 50 No. 10 St. Ignatius, bowing 8-7 in the regional semifinals.
35. St. Bonaventure (Ventura, Calif.)
Record: 10-1
Points: 86
Previous rank: 37
A probable pick to eventually return to the CIF Division III state bowl game for a title defense, the Seraphs began their postseason by clobbering Newbury Park 38-14 in the CIF Southern Section Northern Division playoffs. Junior QB Logan Meyer passed for 216 yards and three TDs while senior RB Patrick Hall rushed for 104 yards and another score. The Seraphs go up against Paso Robles in the second round.
36. Centennial (Peoria, Ariz.)
Record: 12-0
Points: 77
Previous rank: 39
Often, when two teams meet for the second time in a season, the losing team has the advantage because it makes changes. But not always. Centennial beat Desert Ridge of Mesa 34-7 to open the season and was a point better, 35-7, Friday in the 5A Division II quarterfinals. Senior RB John Hughes was again the focal point, but on both sides of the ball this time. Hughes scored three TDs rushing, gaining 133 yards on 30 carries. However, it was his 44-yard interception return that broke open the game. Think the Coyotes will miss him next year? Well, the third of the Hughes brothers, junior Anthony, gained 153 yards on 15 carries against Desert Ridge. It will be another rematch for Centennial in the semifinals Friday as the Coyotes play Ironwood Ridge, a team it hammered 44-0 three games ago.
37. Hightower (Fort Bend, Texas)
Record: 10-0
Points: 66*
Previous rank: NR
Hightower avenged a 33-9 loss to North Shore a year ago in the state playoffs with a nail-biting 28-21 win on Friday night, sending the previously FAB 50 No. 17 Mustangs home. The Canes got the game-winner from Miami-bound signal-caller A.J. Highsmith, the son of former Miami star and NFL RB Alonzo Highsmith, who scored on a 1-yard sneak with just 33 seconds remaining with Hightower trailing 21-20. Highsmith's game-winning run was necessary only after North Shore rallied from a 20-7 halftime deficit to finally take the lead with under five minutes remaining on Alex Tillman's 7-yard scramble. Tillman threw for 263 yards and two scores while also rushing for 44 yards and a TD in defeat, and North Shore outgained Hightower 389-192. Key turnovers and a blocked punt that set up an early Hightower score, however, were the difference. The Canes battle high-scoring 11-1 Katy Cinco Ranch next. The Cougars crushed Aldine Eisenhower 62-21, and their only loss was early in the year at Southlake Carroll.
38. Union (Tulsa, Okla.)
Record: 11-1
Previous rank: 40
Whether running or passing, the Redskins found no problem racking up yardage against Norman North and won 49-14 in the Class 6A state quarterfinals. Senior running back Jeremy Smith ran for 180 yards and five touchdowns on 27 carries, while senior tight end Tracy Moore caught 10 passes for 103 yards and a touchdown. Union advances to play unbeaten and regionally ranked Midwest City in the state semifinals on Friday.
39. Independence (Charlotte, N.C.)
Record: 12-0
Points: 62
Previous rank: 41
Led by senior running back Harold Blythe's 126 rushing yards and three touchdowns, the Patriots scored 27 unanswered points in their 43-16 win over East Mecklenburg in the Class 6A state playoffs. Independence will next host Butler in the state quarterfinals.
40. Newnan (Ga.)
Record: 12-0
Points: 56
Previous rank: 45
It was a dominant second-half performance for the Cougars, who trounced Tift County 42-0 after leading 7-0 at the break. Newnan's defense picked up its sixth consecutive shutout. DB Jamal Ramsey intercepted a pair of passes in the rout, and QB Russell Powell accounted for over 300 yards of total offense. Newnan is looking to avenge last year's playoff loss to North Gwinnett when they meet Friday in a highly anticipated rematch.
41. Muskegon (Mich.)
Record: 13-0
Points: 52
Previous rank: 43
The Big Reds rallied from a 22-point third quarter deficit to defeat Davison 38-35 in the state Division 2 semifinals. Muskegon advances to play undefeated Warren De La Salle in the title game Friday at Ford Field. Against Davison, the Big Reds recovered two late onside kicks and scored 19 points in the final 4:31 to take the lead with 42 seconds left. A Big Reds' interception in the end zone by Elan Banks on the final play sealed the win.
42. Center Grove (Greenwood, Ind.)
Record: 13-1
Points: 50
Previous rank: 42
The Trojans advanced to the state Class 5A title game with a 49-21 semifinal victory over Ben Davis. The Trojans rushed for 400 yards with senior RB Luke Swift gaining 180 on 18 carries. The Trojans jumped to a 28-0 lead and led 35-14 at halftime. Swift had 238 yards at intermission, including three pass receptions for 92 yards and a 66-yard score. Center Grove will seek revenge in Friday's finals against defending champion Carmel (13-1), which nipped Center Grove 33-32 in the regular season. Carmel's lone loss was to Ben Davis.
43. Jenks (Okla.)
Record: 11-1
Points: 36
Previous rank: 46
The Trojans used a balanced effort to best Edmond Santa Fe 24-3 in the Class 6A state quarterfinals. Sophomore quarterback Sawyer Kollmorgen threw for 170 yards and a touchdown and ran for another score, while sophomore running back Colton Dost ran for 74 yards and a touchdown. According to Tulsa World, Jenks star senior defensive back Gabe Lynn had to leave the game with a strained hip flexor. Lynn is rated the nation's No. 77 overall recruit in the ESPNU 150. No word yet if Lynn will have to miss the Trojans' semifinal game against Mustang on Friday.
44. Bellevue (Wash.)
Record: 12-0

Bellevue used its powerful wing-T attack to run past Liberty 35-7 in the Class 3A quarterfinals. The Wolverines gained 406 yards on 50 carries to improve their postseason rushing total to an impressive 1,173 yards in three games. Senior RB Peter Nguyen led the way with 23 carries for 253 yards and three scores. The Wolverine defense was just as impressive, picking off four passes and holding a normally potent Patriots' running game, that featured three of the top five backs in the division, to just 21 yards on 23 carries. With the win, Bellevue advances to the semifinals for the seventh time in eight years, where it will face Capital.
45. Wayzata (Plymouth, Minn.)
Record: 12-0
Points: 24
Previous rank: 48
The Trojans were idle while awaiting Friday's Class 5A Prep Bowl title game at the Metrodome in Minneapolis. Wayzata will play Blaine (11-1) for the crown. The Trojans have outscored four playoff victims 143-32. Blaine dethroned two-time defending champion Eden Prairie and outlasted previous FAB 50-ranked Cretin-Derham Hall in overtime.
46. Gateway (Monroeville, Pa.)
Record: 12-1 (Season complete)
Points: 28
Previous rank: 48
Dorian Bell, an All-American linebacker headed to Ohio State, capped an outstanding career with a 1-yard TD run plus a forced fumble that he recovered in his team's 10-6 upset loss to Bethel Park in the WPIAL AAAA title game at Heinz Field. Gateway's season will be remembered, unfortunately, for the one big upset loss, but for offensive and defensive talent, this team had one of the best lineups in the nation.
47. Homestead (Mequon, Wis.)
Record: 14-0 (Season complete)
Points: 20
Previous rank: NR
The Highlanders won their second state Division 1 championship in three years with a 13-11 victory over defending champion Arrowhead as the two teams met for the crown for the third straight year. A defensive struggle featured a safety on a blocked punt out of the end zone by Arrowhead's Chris Pendergast, a 42-yard interception return for a touchdown by Homestead's Tom Engle, and a blocked conversion kick.
48. Pearland (Texas)
Points: 16
Previous rank: NR
Dennis Walls returned a fumble 65 yards on the opening possession of overtime to lift Pearland past Clear Lake 34-28 and into the FAB 50 rankings. Junior RB Kasey Carrier ran for 176 yards and two scores, and Oilers' QB Sam Allen scored on a 1-yard sneak with 4:33 remaining to force overtime after Clear Lake ran all over Pearland's defense early on, jumping out to a 28-14 lead late in the third quarter. Clear Lake ran for 365 yards in the contest but lost three fumbles, including the game-deciding miscue in overtime. The Oilers get 7-4 Katy Taylor Saturday at Tully Stadium.
49. State College (Pa.)
Record: 13-0
Points: 10
Previous rank: NR
State College makes its FAB 50 debut after defeating Erie McDowell 22-10 in the District 6-8-9-10 Class AAAA subregional finals. The Little Lions advance to play FAB 50 No. 28 Bethel Park in the PIAA Class AAAA state quarterfinals on Friday. In the win over Erie McDowell, junior running back Bernard Smack had a touchdown run and an 82-yard kickoff return for a touchdown. State College senior linebacker Luc Yocum added a 75-yard interception return for a score.
50. Oakton (Vienna, Va.)
Record: 13-0
Points: 8
Previous rank: NR
In a highly anticipated rematch, Oakton turned its playoff game with Chantilly into a surprising rout. Oakton's 52-14 thrashing was a far cry from the team's 17-15 win over Chantilly in October. Oakton led 45-0 and scored on its first eight possessions and ultimately held a 52-0 lead in the second half. Senior QB Chris Coyer scored on three short touchdown runs while senior RB Trey Watts found the end zone twice for Oakton. Next up for Oakton is a FAB 50 clash with Oscar Smith in the Division 6 state semifinals.

FAQ: Thatch Reed Panels
How do I install the Thatch Reed panels on my existing home's roof?:
If you are installing African Reed Panels on an existing roof, you will need to install those panels every 12" Additionally, you will need a grid structure built on the roof to allow for water run-off. This grid structure is nothing more that a series of furring strips first applied vertically on the roof then horizontally. Then the thatch reed panels are applied via staples directly to the strips. This allows for water to naturally run off the roof and not be trapped under the panels.
If I have a Tiki hut in the back yard and want Thatch Reed panels applied to the roof, what do I need to do?:
If you have an existing Tiki hut or Spa cover with a grass or palm roof and want to change to an African thatch roof, you simply remove the existing roof and apply the Reed panels every 12 inches. These need to be stapled on at a minimum pitch of 30 degrees for structures with no sub-roof. The steeper the pitch the more water-proof the structure will be.
How do I attach Thatch Reed panels to my structure?:
We recommend using galvanized 1 1/2" staples, with a 1/2" or 1/4" crown depending on the staple gun. This will require a heavy-duty staple gun which can be rented at your local home improvement store.
Additional Thatch Reed Panel Information:
These thatch reed panels can be used outdoors on top of existing roofs to create a natural thatch roof appearance or they can be used on wood or steel frames such as umbrellas to create a tropical thatch umbrella.
Thatch reed panels, originating from Africa, can expand your architectural project by adding an overall natural beauty. Other than the great authentic appearance, the Natural Thatch Reed Panels offer an additional benefit such as allowing trapped heat to escape through the reeds. The panels contain a high insulation value that provides cool shade in the summer and heat in the winter. Natural thatch reed panels from Africa typically keeps your structure 10 degrees cooler than any other alternative roofing materials in the summer and 10 degrees warmer in the winter.
The natural thatch reed panels can last from 4 to 5 years depending on the environmental conditions. amaZulu offers fire retardant panels that can be purchased with a certificate for the your local Fire Marshall. The thatch reed panels are relatively easy to install. If you have any questions about our architectural themeing products such as natural thatch reed panels, contact amaZulu today.

VAN WERT — Persian Gulf War veteran James Redmon was in a different fight Monday, in a courtroom battling for his right to carry a concealed handgun.
He was treated for post-traumatic stress disorder more than six years ago. Van Wert County Sheriff Thomas Riggenbach cited PTSD as the reason he denied Redmon a concealed handgun license in a March 6 letter.
The 44-year-old Redmon said Riggenbach misinterpreted the law and he should get his license.
The matter was argued in a courtroom Monday and as it turns out, there's a little more to the story.
Redmon was once charged with two felonies, aggravated burglary and aggravated assault. The burglary charge was dropped and he pleaded guilty to the aggravated assault as part of a procedure that allowed him to accept treatment in lieu of conviction. After successfully completing treatment the conviction never was entered so there is no felony on his record that would disqualify him.
Riggenbach said Monday he also took Redmon's criminal history into consideration when making his decision even though he does not have a conviction.
"I did the right thing based on what the law tells me to do," Riggenbach said.
But Redmon said there's more to the 2006 criminal case that is not a conviction.
"I was a combat vet who beat up a drug dealer trying to save someone's life," he said.
Redmon said he warned a drug dealer to stay away from someone and was trying to keep that person from using drugs. The dealer did not listen so he kicked in the door to the drug dealer's house and beat up the dealer.
The sheriff said the criminal history combined with the PTSD was the reason for denial.
"I'm not going to deny a concealed carry license solely on a PTSD issue," he said. "I took the totality of all the information and circumstances that I had in front of me to make my decision."
Riggenbach said he follows Ohio law, which says a sheriff "shall issue" a license. The "shall issue" language removes most discretion from sheriffs when issuing a concealed handgun license. He said he's issued 276 licenses this year since he became sheriff and only has denied two.
The section of the law the sheriff cited in the letter to Redmon deals with whether a person has been committed to a mental health facility or ruled to be incompetent, neither of which apply to Redmon.
Judge Charles Steele of Van Wert Common Pleas Court asked both sides to file written legal arguments. He will make a decision sometime after that, probably in about a month.
In the meantime, Redmon said he will continue to carry a gun openly for all to see, which is legal in Ohio. He has carried that way for the past 14 years, he said.
Redmon said he is not a risk to the public.
"If I'm out on the street with a weapon the public is safer. I'm a trained expert," he said.
Redmon decided to apply for his concealed handgun license so he could carry a loaded gun in his truck instead of separating the gun from the ammunition every time he drove his pickup truck. Ohio law allows a concealed handgun license holder to carry a loaded gun in the car.

As well or better than any other wireless router you can buy. Check the WiFi certification online (there is no need to take Apple's word for this, info is available). Compare the certified specs of the Extreme to the small handful of truly competitive units that are on the market. Then compare the prices.

WVU opens the 2014 football season this Saturday in the Chick-Fil-A Classic in Atlanta against No. 2 Alabama.
The Crimson Tide is favored by as much as 26 points.
Over 20,000 West Virginia fans are expected to attend the game in the Georgia Dome.
After winning back-to-back national titles, Alabama was knocked out of contention by arch rival Auburn in last year's regular season finale. The Tide went on to fall to Oklahoma in the Sugar Bowl.
WVU is coming off its worst regular season in more than a decade.
The Mountaineers finished 4-8 last season, including setbacks to a Kansas team which hadn't won a Big 12 game in years and blowing a big lead at home against Iowa State.
Clint Trickett will be the WVU quarterback. Alabama coach Nick Saban has been keeping his choice of signal caller close to the vest.
Marshall, rated in the top 25 in some pre-season polls, is expected to have its best season in years.
MU is No. 20 in the USA poll and is ranked No. 25 by Sports Illustrated.
The Herd has quarterback Rakeem Cato and a lot of other talent back from last year's 10-4 squad.
MU reached the Conference USA championship game last season and beat Maryland in a bowl game.
The Herd opens the season at Miami, Ohio, at 3:30 p.m this Saturday.

Common cause of Well pump overheating:
Well pumps are designed with the intake to the pump section directly above the motor. Most overheating problems are due to failure to install the well pump per the manufacturer's specifications. Each pump manufacturer will list "cooling requirements" specifying a minimum flow requirement of water over the motor to achieve proper cooling. For example, a 4" motor and pump that delivers 10 gpm be installed in a 6 well casing. The motor and pump will require 13 gpm to reach the required cooling flow of water over the motor. If you cannot verify incoming water is below pump and motor setting, a FlowSleeve of 4 inches is required.
The FlowSleeve routes the water over the motor creating the flow needed to cool the motor and insure a properly running pump. Storage tank, cisterns, ponds, water wells, and aeration systems installations are in definite need of a FlowSleeve.

This is an optional Jammin Products Hinge Pim Support, and is intended for use with the Traxxas Slash. The Jammin carbon fiber front hinge pin support greatly improves the rigidity and support of the front hinge pins. CNC machined, designed and tested in the USA.

Jammin Products Slash Hinge Pin Support
5 Stars for Looks. 2 Stars for increased performance over stock and pricing. Cool yes, worth the price probably not. Hard to tell from use but mine did not last long. Admittedly the front end collision that ended this parts life was substantial and would have broken the traxxas fiberglass version as well, but I don't think that there is a large enough separation of speed from the traxxas oem part breaking and this carbon fiber part breaking. Now if your not a basher and medium to high speed front end collisions are not common place occurance for you or if your buying strictly for looks then Jammin has the product for you here

- Category: Philadelphia Flyers Top Prospects
- Written by Brendan Ross
Nicolas Aubé-Kubel, LC
Shoots: L
Height: 5-11
Weight: 179
Born: 1996-05-10
Hometown: Slave Lake, AB, CAN
Drafted: 2014 by Philadelphia Flyers, 48th overall
Oct 24th, 2014- Through 10 games with Val-d'Or, Aube-Kubel has recorded four goals and five assists to go along with a plus-4 rating Zach Hopkins
Oct 2014- After being sent back to the "Q", Aube-Kubel has inked his entry-level deal with the Philadelphia Flyers. After scoring six goals in the preseason for Val-d'or, the 2014 second rounder has recorded two goals and one assist in three contests –Zach Hopkins
June 2014 - The Philadelphia Flyers selected skilled foward Nicolas Aube-Kubel with the 48th pick in the 2014 NHL Draft. Brendan Ross
May 2014 – Entered the QMJHL as a top 2012 pick (7th overall), Nicolas Aube-Kubel is a dynamic offensive forward capable of dazzling individual dangles and one-on-one rushes. Slender in build, Aube-Kubel competes in the tough areas of the rink and isn't afraid to take some risks offensively attempting some serious toe-drags. Keep an eye out for Aube-Kubel's shot as it features both quickness and pinpoint accuracy and acts as one of his most dangerous assets. He weilds a tricky stick that works as well defensively as it does offensively forcing turnovers almost at will. Aube-Kubel and his teammates enjoyed a nice long ride in 2013/14 when the Val-d'Or Foreurs captured the QMJHL Championship and represented their league in the 2014 CHL MasterCard Memorial Cup tournament. As high scoring teammate Anthony Mantha graduates to the pro leagues it will be Aube-Kubel who will be carrying the torch so look for a potential breakout season in 2014/15. Brendan Ross
Skilled offensive centerman with promising upside.

The "Gaviota I", skippered by Captain Julio Torres, put Oregon angler, Dean Millhollin, in the right spot that resulted in a trophy-sized 68-pound dorado. The angler used 50-pound monofilament and a Petrolero lure, fishing in the Los Arcos area, just a few miles from the Cabo Harbor. The overall fish counts for a total of 19 days reflected 1 blue marlin, 8 sailfish, (7 released) 9 stripers released 2 wahoo, 5 skipjack tuna, 20 yellowfin tuna and 77 dorado. Overall, it was a really good fishing week for the entire fleet and there were many happy anglers.
La Paz: Good fishing for tuna in the 8- to 15-pound class and dorado up to 30 pounds. Heavy rains in the last three weeks have muddied up the waters here, but fishing has been consistent. Jonathan Roldan of Tailhunter International reports that the area has gotten more rain in the last three weeks than it received in the last three years.

They're not kidding about the Forefront thing.
The team at Smith, having spent decades reducing lens fogging, knows quite a bit about ventilation. One look at the Forefront Helmet, with its breathable Koroyd tube structure, shows how willing they are to depart from convention to create a product that's truly great. The Koroyd tubes are tiny, extruded, co-polymer tubes that absorb about 30% more impact than traditional EPS foam, and, due to their hollow nature, allow air to flow freely in a way that foam simply can't. On top of that, the microstructures allow for less material to be used in the construction of the helmet, which adds up to a highly-protective helmet that weighs in at just about 285grams.
It's not just a cool-looking helmet that protects your head, though. The AirEvac system, borrowed from its snow helmets, moves hot air away from your glasses or goggles to keep them fog-free. The visor has two positions to keep the sun out of your eyes, and there's also a threaded brass insert on the top of the helmet designed to accept aftermarket mounting kits for GoPro cameras and Light and Motion lights. The helmet's fit is secured via Smith's VaporFit retention system, which anyone familiar with Smith's snow line will be familiar with.

Will you be getting the mips version of this helmet in?
Gavin McBride
yes!! we will be, smith is in the process of getting those in stock themselves. It is around the corner, just no definitive date yet.
Erika Schultz
Super light weight and comfy
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
So light I forget I'm wearing a helmet. The honeycomb tubes and vents provide great ventilation. I like the styling of the matte black ombr� and wear it with my Smith PivLock sunglasses for a great matching fit. Haven't taken a spill on the dome yet but it seems like solid construction and I feel safe hitting the trails hard!
are the mips version in yet? and if I order this one would I get that version?
Grant Kates
These are not the MIPS version.
I am interested in the Smith Forefront bike helmet. Do you post to Australia and if yes how much would it cost?
Also, my head size is 59 cm, what would the best helmet size?

Perfect MTB Helmet
I've been wearing the Smith Forefront for the last several weeks now and it's absolutely perfect for my riding style. Riding here in WV has a lot of steep climbs that will get you over heated. But with this helmet it breaths great and is very comfortable. I hate wearing helmets but this is not an issue with this helmet. I looks incredible as well. I've tried many different brands but POC and the Smith are by far my favorites. And for me the Smith is now my go to over my POC. Price is alittle steep compared to other helmets. But spend the money, you won't be disappointed.
Trevor D.
Do you have an ETA on the MIPS version of this helmet?
Laura Feasler
It kind of depends on the color/size you want, but we should start getting those in at the end of this month through mid April!
Mike Hulme
Love it
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Great helmet. Great looks, great coverage, and it's nice and light. I think it's more expensive than it should be, but the technology is cool.
I really like how the visor articulates up. This is great for climbs when you want full vision, or when you set it on the ground after a ride, it prevents the visor from stressing.
I like the new radical design with the hexagon tubes on the inner material. However, these tubes don't always line up with the flow of air, so it doesn't breathe quite as well as it should.
Overall, it's a little overpriced, and the airflow is about 80% of a regular MTB half-shell, so it lost 1/2 a star. All that considered, it's still my favorite helmet so far.
Rapee L.
How is the airflow on this helmet? does it get hot? I'm trying to decide either to go for the forefront or the hex.
Dan Be
Hey Rapee L,
This helmet vents extremely well. It has large opening around the helmet which help to extract heat and moisture. The Giro Hex helmet also vents very well. Personally I think this Forefront helmet will vent better than the Hex.
Mike Hulme
It vents OK, but not as well as some other lids. I still love it though, but due to the hex design, the "tubes" don't always align with the flow of air.

Dome Protection
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
This helmet has been hard to get in my size and desired color. Everyone wants these things and for good reasons! It is super light, fits my head great and doesn't bobble around as my old helmet did. The honeycomb venting also allows for great air flow in the summer when you are hot. It is winter now so I haven't put it to much use yet but come summer I can't wait to put this thing on!
Pete OBrien
Great Fit!
I bought the camera/ light mount for $15 from the Smith website. It showed up in 2 days (Utah). It's a super solid mount that takes the shakiness out of my POV shots and it's very easy to snap a light on and off. I'm impressed at how comfortable the Forefront is and will probably get the Overtake for road riding.
Ian Matteson
Light, Streamline, Easy to Adjust
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
This bad boy is very light and lets air rush right into your brain! I love fit and the easy adjustability. The visor has 2 modes and is not detachable which is unfortunate but doesn't take away from this product. Very lightweight and you'll barely notice this thing on your head!
Mike T
Nice helmet
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I've spent the majority of the summer and fall using this helmet. Overall, I really like it. It's lightweight, it fits my head, and I think it looks cool. The only downside to the aerocore is that it doesn't allow air to flow quite as well as a completely open vent. Not at all a dealbreaker in my book, but noticeable when the temps get hot AND you are not moving quickly (like a slow grind uphill). Once the speed rises, the vents help the airflow a lot.
I'll also add that I took a nice OTB digger and somehow my bike landed on my head. I have a shaved head, and the aerocore scraped a nice honeycomb design into the top of my scalp. No biggie, but it did sting in the shower for a day or two.
I really like this helmet, and would buy it again.

Testing the Forefront in sloppy weather
Does this helmet allow for a light to be strapped on?
Adam D
While the Aerocore construction has plenty of advantages, unrestricted, large vents isn't one of them, which is why Smith integrated camera and light mounts. Using a threaded brass insert atop the helmet, you're able to pick up an aftermarket mount kit with custom mounts for GoPro helmets, as well as Light and Motion lights. While it does require accessories, the upshot is that the mounts are far more secure than the standard strap mounts used to mount those items to other helmets. The benefit is immediately clear when your POV footage becomes a LOT less shaky. And Smith is currently working with a handful of other manufacturers to expand the mount offerings.
Is this helmet recommended for use in road...
Is this helmet recommended for use in road cycling?

This helmet can be used on the road, but Smith offers a road specific helmet, the Overtake. We plan on having the Overtake available for purchase soon.

Blister Gear Review
Check out this highly anticipated gear review for the Forefront:
Andrew Meehan
Ultimate All-Mtn Helmet
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Although smith is new to the bike helmet game, they are certainly pioneers when it comes to producing some of the most lightweight durable winter sports helmets on the market, and this is no different.
I've had mine for about a month now, and the one thing I notice about this helmet is actually how little I notice it. The air venting through the helmet allows air to move freely between your dome piece and the helmet, and after a while I just forgot that I had it on. I've taken a few falls with it, and there are very little signs of wear.
If your familiar with smith products already, this helmet is going to be no different that what you already expect from them. The quality is high, and no corner has been cut.
Andrew Whiteford
First ride impressions
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I took my first ride wearing the Smith Forefront last night. Basic adjustments were quick and easy (twist dial at the back, chin strap, ear triangle- to use technical terms) and I really didn't think about the helmet until towards the end of my 2 hour ride. The Forefront only came to mind several times as I pedaled towards the sun and thought about how my visor (neon orange) highlighted the colors and looked light something I should instagram, but I was having such a good time I forwent social media. Roughly an hour later as I slowly chugged up Hagen's Highway trail, I realized I could feel cooling air coming through the "straws" of the Forefront's core. Granted, I've got short hair, but I've never really noticed this before. I was impressed. I'll update this after a few more rides, but it's a solid start. I've got to get my hands on the GoPro mount to see how it compares to the stability of the "vented helmet strap" that I'd usually use.

LOS ANGELES — "The Help" remained Hollywood's top draw with $14.3 million on a slow late-summer weekend whose business was even more sluggish as many East Coast theaters closed to ride out the storm there.
Irene was downgraded from a hurricane to a tropical storm Sunday, but the weekend already was a lost cause for many theaters in its path. Studio executives estimate that about 1,000 theaters shut down for at least part of the weekend and that business may have been off 15 to 20 percent because of the storm.
NEW YORK — Derek Jeter is a free agent again.
After three years together, the Yankees captain has broken up with Minka Kelly, the actress' representative told The Associated Press.
Jeter, in Baltimore for a series against the Orioles, would not comment.
Kelly was a frequent visitor to Yankee Stadium while the two were dating.
In a rare public display of their relationship, Kelly was included in the HBO documentary on Jeter's chase for 3,000 hits, "Derek Jeter 3K."
Kelly is best known for her role in "Friday Night Lights" and is now filming ABC's remake of "Charlie's Angels."

LOS ANGELES — Al Pacino says he got burned while making "Scarface."
Literally, he grabbed the hot barrel of a gun that had just shot 30 rounds during one of Tony Montana's violent scenes.
"My hand stuck to that sucker," the 71-year-old actor recalled. He couldn't work for two weeks.
Pacino relayed the experience during a discussion with "Scarface" co-stars Steven Bauer, Robert Loggia and F. Murray Abraham and producer Martin Bregman at a party Tuesday heralding the film's Blu-ray release.
Part of the charm of the film, Pacino said, is that it wasn't initially a hit.
LONDON — Amy Winehouse had no illegal drugs in her system when she died, and it is still unclear what killed the singer, her family said Tuesday.
The family said in a statement that toxicology tests showed "alcohol was present" in the singer's body but it hasn't yet been determined if it contributed to her death.
The 27-year-old soul diva, who had battled drug and alcohol addiction for years, was found dead in her London home on July 23, and an initial post-mortem failed to determine the cause of death.

|John David Jaquint Jr., 28, left, and Danielle Weisler – shown in a surveillance video still – both of Fairfield, Calif., are wanted in connect to an alleged kidnapping of a Fairfield woman that came to light following an alleged vehicle theft in Lakeport, Calif., on Monday, May 6, 2013. Photos courtesy of the Lakeport Police Department.
LAKEPORT, Calif. – Police are searching for two Fairfield residents alleged to have been involved in a kidnapping and vehicle theft.
Lakeport Police reported that they are looking for John David Jaquint Jr., 28, and Danielle Weisler, who is believed to be between 25 and 30 years old.
Jaquint is said to be armed and dangerous, according to Lt. Jason Ferguson.
Ferguson said that at 10:20 a.m. Monday Lakeport Police officers responded to a reported vehicle theft from the parking lot of the District Attorney's Office.
Upon their arrival officers learned that a female reported being kidnapped from Fairfield on Sunday by Jaquint, her estranged boyfriend, and Weisler, Ferguson said.
Ferguson said the alleged victim told the officers that she was held at gunpoint against her will and threatened during the night while in a motel room in Fairfield.
She reported she was driven to Lake County Monday morning, in her vehicle, because both she and Jaquint had court proceedings, according to Ferguson.
The alleged victim told police that as Jaquint left for the courtroom, she exited her vehicle and contacted courthouse security, who in turn contacted police, Ferguson said.
She told officers that Jaquint walked out of court and saw her speaking to security so he got into her vehicle, driven by Weisler, and fled the area, according to Ferguson.
He said the alleged victim described her vehicle as being a 2004 burgundy-colored Volvo sedan bearing California license 6XUZ573 with a cracked front windshield.
The victim reported that Jaquint is in possession of a double barreled shotgun which he keeps in the back seat, Ferguson said.
John David Jaquint Jr. is described as a white male adult, 5 feet 10 inches tall, 210 pounds, bald, with partial sleeve tattoos on both arms and tattoos on his left side chest.
According to the alleged victim Jaquint is affiliated with the Aryan Brotherhood, a white supremacist prison gang, and is considered armed and dangerous.
Danielle Weisler is described as a white female adult, 5 feet 5 inches tall, 180 pounds with blonde hair and dark framed eyeglasses.
As part of the investigation, officers requested a be on the look out for the vehicle through Lake County Central Dispatch, Ferguson said.
The investigation is ongoing and anyone with information is asked to contact the Lakeport Police Department at 707-263-5491.
Note: The original press release incorrectly stated the make of the vehicle. Police reported Monday night that it was, in fact, a late model Volvo sedan.

Comments: I didn't love this racquet. Although I was once a one-time 5.5 player, my age and other factors had me
in search of a new racquet. My daughter's (solid 4.0 player) Dunlop's were lots of fun and so I thought something along those
lines might work. I prefer a 95 head size but those days have diminished. Nonetheless, with the racquet, it just feels poorly
constructed. Rather than be weighted with a proper tapering, it just has an off-the-cliff feel. While this is great for quick reflex
net shots, or that last moment of ball contact creating spin, that's not much to speak of when desiring an all-around racquet.
From: Jon, 3/15
Comments: I bought this strung with Black Widow at 60 lbs. Although I play for fun and exercise, I could tell the
racquet improved my game, it is true -- better equipment makes things easier. Nothing wrong with this racquet at all, especially
for someone picking the game back up after years of not playing, like me, and on a budget too. Great racquet and great price ! I
am going to buy another.
From: Mark, 10/14
Comments: My coach had me try this one, and I was hooked. The following week, I bought a brand new one. My
is so much stronger with it!
From: Valarie, 11/13
Comments: I upgraded to this racquet from the Dunlop Aerogel 550 Lite and can tell a huge improvement in
after only a few practices. Serves are great, with lots of power due to the easy maneuverability. I string mine with GSI Snake-Bite at
59 lbs. Worth demoing!
From: Jared, 9/13
Comments: I love it. Very light and durable.
