CORNER BROOK, N. Jonah Bolden Jersey .L. — Braden Calvert’s Manitoba team won’t have much time to savour its second straight men’s gold medal at the M&M Meat Shops Canadian Junior Curling Championships. The mad dash back to Winnipeg will begin at approximately 2:15 a.m. local time in Corner Brook Monday as the team catches the bus to the airport in Deer Lake — approximately three hours after finishing off its 8-6 gold-medal game victory over Saskatchewan’s Jacob Hersikorn at the Corner Brook Civic Centre. Two flights later, the team is scheduled to land in Winnipeg to an undoubtedly memorable airport reception with friends, family and local media. And then, Tuesday, it’s off to Brandon for practice day at the Manitoba men’s championship in preparation for Wednesday’s first-round game against East St. Paul’s Evan Martin. So much for a week-long celebration. “I’m in a little bit of shock right now,” marvelled Calvert, a 19-year-old University of Manitoba student. “We’re just overwhelmed and super-excited about winning the national championship, and I’m sure it’ll sink in a little bit more tomorrow.” Sunday’s win — marking Manitoba’s third straight M&M Meat Shops Canadian Juniors men’s gold medal, after Calvert’s victory last year in Liverpool, N.S., and Matt Dunstone’s win the year before in Fort McMurray, Alta. — capped a brilliant week for Dunstone, third Kyle Kurz, second Lucas Van Den Bosch, lead Brendan Wilson and coach Tom Clasper. After losing their opener to Quebec’s Félix Asselin, the Manitobans rattled off 10 straight victories en route to gold. In the final, Manitoba never trailed, taking single points in the first two ends, one more in the third and a beautiful chap-and-lie deuce in the sixth to go up 5-2. “It wasn’t an easy shot, and definitely wasn’t easy to look at from the hack,” said an admiring Kurz of the sixth-end masterpiece. “You couldn’t see the inside of it, and if it’s heavy at all, it’s hanging outside and we’re not getting our deuce. But I had full confidence in him making that shot; he makes those left, right and centre.” Saskatchewan would bounce back with deuces in the seventh and ninth ends, sandwiched around a Manitoba single to tie the game. In the 10th, though, Hersikorn’s last-rock draw attempt came up short and Calvert didn’t need to throw his last rock. “I think being here once and doing it once definitely helped us focus on what we had to do and helped us handle the nerves a bit better,” said Calvert. “I thought we were a lot more comfortable this year.” It was an all-around good week for the team; back at the Calvert family cattle ranch in Carberry, it was calving season. Braden’s older brother Trevor handled one of those births, and immediately named the newborn Tommy in honour of the team coach. While that aspiring bull is taking its first tottering steps, the Calvert team will have aspirations of its own at the Manitoba men’s championship. “It’s pretty neat to go to an event where you have Jeff Stoughton, Mike McEwen and Reid Carruthers at it, guys you’ve watched on TV and idolized for years,” he said. “It’s amazing to know that we’ll have a chance to play them. We’ll have a lot of fun at that event.” Once the Manitoba championship is done, Calvert will turn his attention to wearing the Maple Leaf at the 2015 World Junior Championships, beginning Feb. 28 in Tallinn, Estonia. Last year in Flims, Switzerland, the Canadian team lost the bronze-medal game to Norway. “We can’t await to put the Maple Leaf on and try to do Camada proud, and hopefully do a little bit better than last year.

It was a sign that the top-ranked Seminoles (2-0) may be ready to put to rest some of the questions about their youth. They had 10 different players catch a pass and seven had a rush in a 37-12 rout of lower-tier FCS opponent The Citadel on Saturday. Winston threw for 256 yards and two touchdowns, and the 18th consecutive win set a FSU school record. It was a contrast to last week, when Florida State force-fed the ball to seniors Karlos Williams and Rashad Greene. "In our offence, we may call it somewhere, but it doesnt have to go there," Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher said. "We dont force the ball. Thats what weve got to have, diversity around the board. Guys can catch it and run it. The quicker those young guys developing, the better were going to be." Winston completed 22 of 27 passes and the offence scored touchdowns on all four first-half drives and field goals on his two third-quarter drives. The Heisman winner sat down with a 34-0 lead. The Citadel quarterback Aaron Miller completed 3 of 11 passes for 46 yards and a touchdown and ran for 61 yards. The Bulldogs (0-2) had eight rushers carry in their triple-option offence and the ground game accounted for 250 of the teams 322 offensive yards. "It was loud, very loud," Miller said. "My offensive line, the first plays, they told me they cant hear me. Im yelling at the top of my lungs and Im figuring Im not going to have a voice by halftime." The Florida State offence was able to drive up and down the field with little resistance while its starters were on the field. In the choppy season-opening win against Oklahoma State, Winston seemed to force the ball to receiver Greene, who finished with 203 yards on 11 receptions. Williams was one of just two running backs to carry the ball against the Cowboys, and had 23 of the teams 31 rushes. "Im comfortable with everybody, because thats how this offence is," Winston said. "We try to give everybody the ball and a lot of people had touches this gamee. Wholesale 76ers Jerseys. Thats how Coach Fisher does things. "Its not a one man show, everyones going to get that rock." Fisher said Winston tried to force some big plays last week, but he was patient against the Bulldogs. Williams and running backs Mario Pender and Freddie Stevenson had six combined receptions for 46 yards. All-ACC tight end Nick OLeary was supposed to ease the losses of 2013 receivers Kelvin Benjamin and Kenny Shaw, but was also limited last week. He caught a team-high five balls for 51 yards and a touchdown Saturday. He dropped what would have been another score. The Seminoles welcomed back receiver Jesus "Bobo" Wilson from a one-game suspension stemming from the theft of a motor scooter. He scored his first career touchdown on a 12-yard, first-quarter reception. Freshman running back Dalvin Cook, the 2013 Florida Mr. Football, scored his first career touchdown in his first game with a 5-yard run in the second quarter. "They have depth, speed, size, everything," Citadel coach Mike Houston said. "Not (any weaknesses) from our angle. Thats the best football team weve ever faced." The Florida State starting defence pitched a shutout, but lost three defensive linemen in the process. Starting defensive tackle Eddie Goldman went down during the first series of the game and his replacement, sophomore Justin Shanks went down in the second series. Starting nose guard Nile Lawrence-Stample was injured in the second quarter. All three were lost for the game with lower leg injuries and Goldman was seen on crutches and wearing a boot on his left foot after the game. "I dont know how bad the injuries are," Fisher said. "When you play these kind of teams, they are constantly cutting knees and ankles. ... Nothing illegal about it, thats just football." The Seminoles were already thin on the interior of the defensive line with defensive tackle Timmy Jernigan now playing for the Baltimore Ravens. There are seven freshmen defensive linemen on the roster. The Seminoles host Clemson on Sept. 20, the same day Citadel travels to Charleston Southern. ' ' '
