MCPHEE-MCCUIN HOSTS HER FIRST OFFICIAL PRACTICE AS HEAD COACH OF THE REBELS By RENALDODORSETT Tribune Sports Reporter rdorsett@tribunemedia.net COACH Yolett McPheeMcCuin hosted her first official practice as head coach of the Ole Miss Rebels women’s basketball programme. Ole Miss opens the season with a home exhibition with LeMoyne-Owen on November 2, with the regular season slated to begin at home against Norfolk State on November 6. “I thought the energy of the group was great. I thought they came out and everyone was excited and locked in,” McPheeMcCuin said. “Obviously there is a lot we need to implement and work on but, for the most part, I felt like they controlled the controllables, which is their attitude and their effort.” She was named last April after turning around a Jacksonville programme that had only won 20 games twice in its history prior to her arrival. “In my opinion, everyone is a newcomer because everyone is trying to get better. This is a new system for all parties involved. I’m just looking forward to growing with them and getting them to build chemistry on the floor, and that will happen over time.” Ole Miss women’s basketball will be featured on national TV during six Southeastern Conference contests. All six games will be broadcast on SEC Network, with two coming at home at The Pavilion at Ole Miss on January 6 (Arkansas) and January 20 (Florida), with the other four coming on the road on January 13 (Kentucky), January 27 (Mississippi State), February 18 (Georgia) and February 24 (Arkansas). “Anytime there is a new programme, there is a curiosity that’s out there,” McPhee-McCuin said.

JUDO: WORLD JUNIORS SET FOR ATLANTIS THIS MONTH

TRAVIS MUNNINGS, above and below left, competes for Team Bahamas in FIBA Basketball World Cup China 2019 Qualifiers.

Munnings and Warhawks hope to contend in Sun Belt By RENALDODORSETT Tribune Sports Reporter rdorsett@tribunemedia.net

hen Travis Munnings returned to the University of Louisiana-Munroe Warhawks for his senior season, head coach Keith Richard knew the roster would rely heavily on the Grand Bahama native if they hope to contend in the Sun Belt. The Warhawks opened practice Sunday at Fant-Ewing Coliseum in Monroe, Louisiana, and Munnings’ presence was the main talking point for Richard on the afternoon. “I’m really proud of Travis. He has gotten better every year, freshman, sophomore junior seasons. All-Conference selection last year, second team. He has really worked on his game since he’s been here and he’s improved again for his senior year,” he said. “He’s looked just like you want a senior returning AllConference player to look in the summer and in our preseason practices. We need him to play well this year for us to have a good season.” After testing the market and facing evaluation from scouts and coaches, Travis Munnings withdrew from the NBA Draft and decided to return to the Warhawks. Munnings was named a Louisiana Sports Writers Association (LSWA) Men’s College Basketball Team Third-team selection to add to his postseason accolades. As a junior, he averaged 15.9 points, 7.3 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game. He was previously honoured as Second-team All-Sun Belt Conference selection and won Sun Belt Player of the Week. En route to winning Conference Player of the Week honours, Munnings averaged 21 points and 5.5

rebounds while helping ULM to a homecourt sweep over UT Arlington (84-71) and Texas State (79-71). He also made 9-of-21 three pointers (41 per cent) during that two-game stretch. Munnings led the team in both scoring and rebounding and is a member of the 1,000-point club. As a freshman, the 6’6” forward averaged 7.2 points and 5.4 rebounds and increased those numbers to 13.2 points and 8.1 rebounds per game as a sophomore. “Travis is having an outstanding career. What I hope for him is that we’re really good his senior year.” Calvin Anderson, a senior guard and another Grand Bahama native, also enters his senior season with the programme. Last year, ULM finished 16-16, 9-9 in the Sun Belt and reached the

conference tournament quarterfinals. They won eight of their last 11 regular-season games and extended their season with a berth in the CollegeInsider.com Tournament, where they lost to Austin Peay in the first round. “We’ve finished in the top half of the Sun Belt three of the last four years and that’s what you want to do with any programme is consistent winning,” Richard said. “Obviously, the goal is to go to the NCAA Tournament, win your league and do all those things, every team in every league has that goal and hopefully we can do that this year. “At the very least, you would like to establish a programme that is consistently winning, finishing in the top half of your league.”

IN approximately two weeks, the international judo community will descend on the Bahamas as the island nation hosts the sport’s elite talent from around the world. A total of 510 judokas, including 295 men and 215 women from five continents and 81 countries, are expected to compete at the World Junior Judo Championships in the Imperial Ballroom at the Atlantis resort October 17-21. The Bahamas has registered a 14-member team of nine men – Jevon Bethel, Desmond Bootle, Davante Sweeting, Andrew Munnings, Dre Hall, Desmondo Bootle, Lyle Sherman, Daleon Sweeting, Larry Marshall - and five women – Jasmine Russell, Mya Beneby, Breanna Major, Raven Pennerman and Sasha Ingraham. Team members most recently competed at the Ocean State Judo Championships in Providence, Rhode Island, and won the best team trophy. “We have some things to work on, but we are right where we need to be to have success at the Jr World Championships,” said Oneysi Pons, head coach of the national team. The World Junior Judo Championships will be the largest sport tournament ever held in the Bahamas in terms of numbers and diversity of countries. “It is time to support this team,” says D’Arcy Rahming Jr, high performance director of the national team. “The championships are upon us and the athletes have trained hard and the results are showing. But they need the support to carry them over the edge.” He added: “We have never had a team this good and this well-prepared.” Rahming also serves as the judo head coach for the University of Bahamas Mingoes, which features several national team members on its roster. “They are training right now for the World Junior Championships,” he said during UB Media Day. “Many of the UB team will be competing at the tournament and we are very proud of them. These guys are training at a very high level and they are the best

Knights strike gold in St Lawrence Invitational Tournament By RENALDODORSETT Tribune Sports Reporter rdorsett@tribunemedia.net THE Niagara College Knights, with several Bahamian players on their roster, were back on the floor for the preseason as they prepare to contend in the Ontario Colleges Athletic Association. Van Hutchinson Jr, Kevin Cooper, Stephone Augustine, Livingstone Bromwell and the Knights have gone 3-1 thus far, including the gold medal at the St Lawrence Invitational Tournament. They began with a 68-63 loss to the Centennial Colts. Hutchinson finished with 11 points and 11 rebounds, Cooper added 10 points and 10 rebounds, while Augustine made his debut with four points and eight rebounds. Game one of the SLC Invitational was a 78-67 win over the Algonquin Thunder. Hutchinson had 23 points, seven rebounds

and four assists, Cooper scored 15 and Augustine finished with 12 points and 10 rebounds. In game two, the Knights won 99-78 over the Vanier Cheetahs. Hutchinson went off for 28 points, eight rebounds and four assists, Cooper had eight points and nine rebounds and Bromwell scored 17 with seven rebounds. In the gold medal game, Niagara won 80-74 over St Lawrence. Hutchinson again stuffed the stat sheet with 15 points, seven rebounds, four assists and three blocks while Cooper had five points and three rebounds. Hutchinson, who played much of last season recovering from an ankle injury, will be looking to lead the Knights back to the playoffs in his third season. Despite the injury setback, the 6’5” guard averaged 16.9 points, 10.9 rebounds and 4.6 assists per game and led the Knights in several statistical

Lions in the tournament’s consolation final and did not qualify for the OCAA Championships. In 2016, the Knights finished fourth in the OCAA tournament and did not advance to the National Championship. They finished the threeday event in fourth place after losing in the bronzemedal game and were forced to play without Hutchinson for the duration of the tournament after losing him to an ankle injury. That season, he led

the team in scoring at 14.6 points, 10 rebounds and 4.5 assists per game. The team finished in second place in the OCAA West and were also ranked No. 4 in the OCAA national rankings for the majority of the second half of the season. “Every year has been a growing process,” Hutchinson said. “Last year was different because I had that injury at the end of year one and I dealt with that all year. I’m healthy now so I’m really looking forward to big things from myself and from my team. The Knights are a combined 38-16 over the last three seasons. Hutchinson and Cooper are a part of a strong Bahamian connection at Niagara that last season also included Jordan Wilson and Jarrad Richardson. This year the team welcomed incoming players and fellow Noble Preparatory Alumni, Bromwell and Augustine.

“We head to Canada as a brotherhood and that’s the way we keep it,” Hutchinson said. “We basically treat it like fraternity brothers. We’re family, so with us together we’re even more excited for the season as a unit. I’m ready, everyone’s ready and we’re just excited to get it going right now.” In July, Phil Mosley was announced as the new head coach of the Niagara Knights men’s basketball programme. Mosley is the 12th head coach in Knights men’s basketball history. Most recently he spent 2017-18 as the first chair assistant under interim head coach Mike Hurley. “The programme itself, every year I’ve had a different head coach, different system, so it was a constant learning process. We also had a new athletic director so the whole department had changes.” The Knights begin the season October 19 against the Redeemer Royals.

LeBron James captivates crowd in his Los Angeles Lakers debut By BERNIE WILSON AP Sports Writer SAN DIEGO (AP) — LeBron James rubbed his hands in chalk powder at the scorer’s table, yelled “Yes!” to ecstatic fans in the first few rows and the Los Angeles Lakers’ new era was underway. Playing in the same arena where Magic Johnson made his regular-season debut for Los Angeles 39 years ago, James captivated the crowd from the start of the Lakers’ exhibition opener Sunday night, a 124-107 loss to the Denver Nuggets. The opening tip came James’ way and he tapped it to fellow newcomer Rajon Rondo, who threw an alleyoop pass to JaVale McGee for the game’s first score. James missed his first shot, a turnaround fadeaway, but then made a no-look bounce pass from about 27 feet out to Brandon Ingram for a dunk. A minute later, James hit a long 3-pointer. He finished with nine points, three rebounds and four assists in just more than 15 minutes. “It was great to get back on the floor and then just start a new journey for myself and hear the Lakers fans that we have here in San Diego,” said James, who was married here in 2013. “It was great feeling to go out there and hear the roar from the fans here. I very much appreciate it.” The three-time NBA champion, four-time NBA MVP and 14-time All-Star said he played a little more than expected, “and I felt pretty good.” Seeing James in a Lakers uniform for the first time “was awesome,” said coach Luke Walton, who grew up in San Diego. “When you’re coaching the Lakers and you look out and see LeBron wearing your team’s colours, it’ a pretty good feeling.” While the Lakers have a lot to work on, fans hope James’ arrival will turn

He left the Cleveland Cavaliers for a four-year, $153.3 million free-agent deal with the Lakers. “It always feels different for me anytime you change uniforms,” he said. “It felt different when I changed from wearing a St VincentSt Mary jersey to wearing a Cavs jersey from a Cavs jersey to a Heat jersey, back to a Cavs jersey and now being a Laker. It definitely feels different and takes a little bit of time getting used to.” He, Rondo and fellow veterans McGee, Lance Stephenson and Michael

Beasley signed to team with the Lakers’ talented young core. James was the focus on and off the court Sunday night. He was cheered from the minute he ran onto the court with his new teammates for warmups. He played the first eight minutes before being subbed out. When he came back in midway through the second quarter, he was greeted by a roar. As he stood near the scorer’s table during a video review, a fan yelled: “LeBron, we love you!” and the superstar responded with a hang-loose sign.

Walton said James and Rondo “were great. Their commitment to pushing it, defensively. I thought the first group as a whole played really well, to start. Both groups were fouling way too much. They hit 30-some free throws. “It’s going to be tough to win a game like that. But there’s some new rules we have to get adjusted to from this summer. The first group I thought played really well, obviously being led by the two of them out there.” Asked before the game what stands out about James, Walton said, “His intelligence. He sees everything. He knows even before drills. He knows

where he’s going. His work ethic. He’s out there prepractice with the guys, post-practice with the guys. Taking care of his body in the weight room. “He’s the ultimate professional.” The Lakers’ regularseason opener is October 18 at Portland. Their home opener is two nights later against Houston. This was another big night for an LA basketball team at San Diego’s sports arena. In 1975, John Wooden coached his final game here, leading UCLA to its 10th NCAA title in 12 seasons. In 1979, Johnson made his NBA debut when Los

Angeles beat the thenSan Diego Clippers in the season opener. After Kareem Abdul-Jabbar made a buzzer-beating sky hook, Johnson hugged the centre like they’d just won the championship. Seven months later, they did win the NBA title. Johnson is now the Lakers’ president of basketball operations and James was the prized acquisition of an offseason roster revamp. As a kid, Walton used to watch his father, Bill, play for the Clippers, although the Hall of Famer’s years in his hometown were largely marred by injuries.

CHIEFS TOP THE BRONCOS, 27-23 By ARNIE STAPLETON AP Pro Football Writer

DENVER (AP) — Patrick Mahomes rallied the unbeaten Kansas City Chiefs back from a 10-point deficit in the fourth quarter for a 27-23 win over the Denver Broncos last night. The Chiefs (4-0) took a two-game lead over the Broncos (2-2) in the AFC West with their sixth straight win over their rivals. Down 23-13, Mahomes directed a 12-play, 75-yard drive that ate up more than six minutes and culminated with a 2-yard TD toss to tight end Travis Kelce, then added a 60-yard touchdown drive, handing off to Kareem Hunt for the 4-yard score with 1:39 remaining. It was the first time since 2004 that the Broncos blew a 10-point fourth-quarter lead at home.

JUDO: WORLD JUNIORS SET FOR ATLANTIS THIS MONTH FROM PAGE 1 we have ever trained in the country.” In May, the Bahamas Judo Federation hosted trials to determine the development team for the World Juniors in addition to the Youth Olympic Games. The majority of the male team with the exception of two members comes from those living in the athlete house. Bahamas Judo has invested in the athlete house to ensure that athletes are training a minimum of 25 hours a week. The house is free to athletes and meals and rides to school and training are free. The Federation is funded by the public and sponsors. Anyone interested in finding more information about the federation may write to bahamasjudo@gmail.com. According to BJF President D’Arcy Rahming, The Judo Junior World Championships will represent a major economic and cultural boost for the Bahamas and will showcase the country to millions of the judo followers worldwide. The multicultural event is set to create an atmosphere that will feature thousands of local and international patrons. “It’s going to be quite an amazing number of rooms and people coming in to enjoy the competition. We’re hearing that a lot of people are coming, not just for the competition, but to

This is also an Olympic qualifier, so anybody who breaks through here will get a shot at going to the Olympic Games (in 2020 in Tokyo, Japan). That’s what we’re hoping for, to get a couple of these guys to get through.”

MCPHEE-MCCUIN HOSTS 1ST OFFICIAL PRACTICE AS HEAD COACH OF OLE MISS REBELS FROM PAGE 1 “Ole Miss is a national brand, so a lot of people recognise it already. There’s not a place I go that I don’t hear Hotty Toddy,” she said during a recap of the summer months. “I think success for me would be putting out a product on the floor that our fans will be proud of. When you come and watch us play, you can see that there is a new era, and where it is going. You’re going to see young women that enjoy playing the game. You’re going to see young women that enjoy playing with each other and for each other.” The Rebels ended last season with a 12-19 record and a second round loss in the SEC Tournament. The daughter of legendary Bahamian coach Gladstone “Moon” McPhee and educator Daisy McPhee, she became the ninth head coach in Rebels history.

Valerie Nesbitt became the first local player signed by McPhee-McCuin in her tenure leading the Rebels. Nesbitt, a sophomore at Chipola College, committed to join the Rebels for the Fall 2019 campaign. Prior to her post at Ole Miss, McPhee-McCuin completed an historic tenure with the Jacksonville Dolphins where the programme accomplished several new feats. In her final game at JU, the Dolphins saw their season come to an end in the opening round of the WNIT when they were eliminated with a firstround loss to the University of Central Florida Knights. It was the second consecutive season the Jaguars came up just short in a bid for the NCAA Tournament but earned a berth to the WNIT. McPhee-McCuin also signed a Bahamian player - Shalonda Neely - to join the programme while at Jacksonville.

Daniel Lascau, sport director for the International Judo Federation, voiced the support of IJF President Marius Vizer. “The Junior World Championships is an important event of our international calendar and of our strategy because the junior age category represents the future of our sport. “Many big names before becoming World and Olympic Champions, performed first in Junior and everybody will look carefully at the results of the event to discover who will be the

next generation of heroes,” he said. He said the IJF saw fit to grant the Bahamas the role as hosts after an impressive showing during the Commonwealth Youth Games. The 2017 edition of the games was hosted in Zagreb, Croatia, and featured 590 judokas from 83 countries and five continents. The Atlantis resort’s convention centre will also feature a Bahamian cultural village among several other attractions. The event will also give locals and visitors alike a chance to learn about the Bahamas.

IJF development director Jose Rodriguez said he is familiar with the Bahamas’ ability to host international sporting events from his track and field associations in the 1980s. “Congratulations to the Bahamas for being chosen as hosts,” he said. “This is a fantastic event. The Bahamas is no stranger to me, I came from track and I used to come here often in the 80s and I know what Bahamas can do to put on a show. I was a big fan when I heard of it because I experienced the excitement of your event and your

country. There will be many people here that will have never seen an ocean before and when you think about it, their first experience will be here in the Bahamas and what an experience they will have when they come here. I encourage you to get your schools ready to come out and support and get them to learn about the 80 plus countries that will be here. Show them what the Bahamas is all about and show them what you can do. It will be a great experience and I am sure that from this event, judo will be different in the Bahamas.”

THE TRIBUNE

Yelich, Brewers beat Cubs 3-1 for NL Central title By JAY COHEN AP Sports Writer CHICAGO (AP) — Christian Yelich’s easy smile and champagne-soaked T-shirt said it all. A division title is much more fun than a Triple Crown. Yelich collected three more hits as the Milwaukee Brewers won their first NL Central title since 2011, beating the Chicago Cubs 3-1 yesterday in a tiebreaker game. The silkysmooth slugger stalled in his bid for the league’s first Triple Crown in decades, but he starred once again as the Brew Crew captured the biggest prize of the day. “I know how hard it is to get to this point and I’m proud to be a part of this group,” Yelich said as Milwaukee’s boozy party swirled around him, filling every inch of the cramped visitors’ clubhouse at Wrigley Field. Lorenzo Cain hit a goahead single in the eighth inning to help Milwaukee to its eighth straight win and home-field advantage throughout the NL playoffs. The Brewers will host the wild-card winner starting Thursday in the best-of-five Division Series. Chicago stays at Wrigley for tonight’s wild-card game against Colorado. The Rockies lost 5-2 to the Los Angeles Dodgers in yesterday’s second tiebreaker for the NL West title. “It’s no fun. Of course we’d prefer the other route,” manager Joe Maddon said. It’s a quick turnaround after falling short in their bid for a third straight division title, but the Cubs will have ace left-hander Jon Lester on the mound for the elimination game.

“We’ll be ready. This team has responded all year,” said Anthony Rizzo, who homered for Chicago’s run. Yelich singled home Milwaukee’s first run and won the NL batting title with a .326 average. He had 110 RBIs, one behind the Cubs’ Javier Baez, and finished with 36 home runs, two shy of Colorado’s Nolan Arenado. The tiebreakers were game 163 of the regular season and Arenado’s homer counted in the totals. Joe Medwick in 1937 was the last NL player to win the Triple Crown. Miguel Cabrera did it for Detroit in 2012. Milwaukee trailed Chicago by as many as five games in September, but manager Craig Counsell’s club pushed the season to an extra day with a furious finish and then used its deep lineup and bullpen to outlast the playoff-tested Cubs. “It just shows the heart and the mentality that this team has,” Cain said. “Never give up. Continue to fight each and every day in each and every at-bat. We’re going to continue to do that in the playoffs.” Orlando Arcia, batting in the eighth slot, had a careerhigh four hits, and Josh Hader closed out another dominant relief performance for the Brewers. “All the guys in the ‘pen, they’re attacking the zone and putting us in a good position to win ballgames,” Hader said. Jose Quintana pitched six-hit ball into the sixth inning, but Chicago’s bullpen faltered at a key moment. Rizzo, Baez and Daniel Murphy accounted for the Cubs’ three hits. The game was tied at 1 before Milwaukee opened the eighth with three

Arcia singled on a 0-2 pitch from Justin Wilson (4-5), Domingo Santana had a pinch-hit double and Cain greeted Steve Cishek with a single back up the middle. After Yelich struck out swinging — a rare occurrence during an extraordinary stretch for the NL MVP favourite — Ryan Braun got the Brewers an insurance run with a run-scoring single to center. It was more than enough for Milwaukee’s vaunted bullpen. Corey Knebel (4-3) extended his scoreless streak to 16 1/3 innings with a perfect seventh, and

Hader worked two innings for his 12th save. Rizzo had one last chance for Chicago, but he flied to right with Baez on second for the final out. When it was over, Hader wrapped his arms around catcher Erik Kratz as the rest of the Brewers poured out of the dugout. A sizable portion of Milwaukee fans in the crowd of 38,450 chanted “Let’s go Brewers! Let’s go Brewers!” — a rarity at Wrigley over the past few years. “We could hear ‘em, we could really hear them and we fed off of that,” Yelich said. “We wanted to bring this home for them.”

Yelich also heard repeated “MVP!” chants when he singled in each of his first three at-bats. He drove in Arcia with his twoout hit in the third. Jhoulys Chacin sailed into the fifth inning with the lead, retiring 11 of his first 12 batters. But Rizzo led off with a massive drive to right for his 25th homer, tying it 1. The crowd roared as Rizzo rounded the bases and then popped out of the dugout for a curtain call. Chicago had a chance to grab the lead in the sixth, but Joakim Soria escaped the threat by striking out Baez with runners on first and second.

“That was the big moment,” Counsell said. Chacin allowed one hit in 5 2/3 innings, setting up Milwaukee’s bullpen quite nicely. The right-hander struck out three and walked two in another solid effort in a career year. Quintana kept the Cubs in the game with another stingy performance against Milwaukee, allowing one run in five-plus innings. The left-hander is 4-1 with a 2.13 ERA in seven starts against the Brewers this year. UP NEXT The Rockies and Cubs split six games this season, with each team scoring 33 runs.

KARATE COMBAT REACHES NEW HEIGHTS AT WORLD TRADE CENTER By DAN GELSTON AP Sports Writer NEW YORK (AP) — Bruce Lee never dodged a shattered champagne flute. But one of the earliest KO’s suffered at Karate Combat’s debut card in New York came when broken glass lined the path toward one corner of the sunken pit where fighters would enter. Sweep the leg? How about a sweep of the aisle before someone cuts a foot. Such were the consequences of serving from an open bar outside The Pit, a respite for the bow tie and designer gown crowd dressed more appropriately for a ballroom than a barroom brawl. The nattily attired mix of affluent investors, corporate sponsors and the beautiful people made for a lavish setting atop One World Trade Center. So did the scenery.

“The view, you know?” Latvian fighter Edgars Skrivers said. “I have to enjoy it.” Karate Combat set its sights high — 102 floors high — as it became the first sports league to hold an event at the observation deck. The league skipped the ring girls for a tinge of sightseeing, as the Statue of Liberty and Empire State Building stood as the main attractions outside the pit. The crowd of maybe 100 people on Thursday night was standing-room only. As in, there was only standing room available at the private event. No seats (so no cup holders for the beers), no souvenirs and certainly no ticket-buying fans. Brandon Lazo, who trains as a Muay Thai fighter, scored an invite to the “One World” event early Thursday through a social media contest. “It’s nice and exclusive,” he said.

It’s how Karate Combat wanted to make a splash in the city. The upstart league has eschewed a traditional TV model (for now) in hopes the revenue will flow from media deals, live streams and sponsorships. The nine-fight, full-contact fight card was found on plenty of browsers, from YouTube and Facebook to UFC Fight Pass and Dr Oz’s CombatGO. “There’s a hole in the market for something that’s pure martial arts,” said 36-year-old Rob Bryan, who cofounded the league with Michael DePietro early last year. “The goal was to create a product that was exciting and still resonated with the mainstream audience,” he added. Karate is about to get its biggest taste of the mainstream since Daniel LaRusso had to wax on and wax off with Mr Miyagi. The sport has been added to the 2020 Olympic Games

and will feature three weight classes and eight events. Karate Combat said it had about 100 Karatekas from 30 countries in the league, and several competitors with Olympic aspirations. But for the fighters who find the Olympics out of reach, Karate Combat could open the door to a new measure of success, especially as legalised sports gambling could become a boon for niche sports. “Karate Combat is the new thing,” Skrivers said. Forget traditional fight locales such as Madison Square Garden or Las Vegas casinos. Karate Combat could serve as a travel agent for the wellheeled sports fan, running events under its banner on Miami Beach and at the Zappeion Courtyard in Athens, Greece.And once there, the fight announcer bellows, “Fighters, enter the pit!”

Bas Rutten, the 53-year-old former UFC heavyweight champion, was at the broadcast table and could be heard throughout the venue calling the action. They fight inside a pit built with 45-degree embankments that allows for unobstructed views and that Karatekas can use as a type of springboard during their three-round, threeminute fights. The fights are scored with music that has a “Stranger Things” theme vibe and offensive techniques (minus knee and elbow strikes) are scored more highly than counter-strikes. “It’s like the old-school karate finishing move where you’ve got the guy on the ground and — bang! — you give him the old knockout blow,” veteran judge Joel Bekker said. “That’s what they want. There’s no extended grappling on the ground. They don’t want to see pulling guard and submission moves. “They want to see

one guy knock the other guy down and finish.” The fights early on the card seemingly broke down into staring contests that hardly evoked images of “Street Fighter” and others featured undisciplined fighters throwing wild haymakers. Elhadji “Black Magic” Ndour was one of the few to pull off an impressive win. He said he was evolving into an entertainment-style fighter the league has embraced. “You can’t change yourself overnight,” he said. With a view of the lower Manhattan skyline, social media influencers sipping wine and cocktails, and venues plucked from the Travel Channel, Karate Combat may not change the sport overnight, but the dawn of a new day could be looming for anyone who’s thrown a spinning heel kick. “We’re just looking to push the sport of karate further,” Bryan said.

Titans building confidence and momentum with 3 straight wins By TERESA M WALKER AP Pro Football Writer NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Mike Vrabel has been preaching about playing aggressive from the moment he arrived in Tennessee. A month into the season, the Titans are doing just. At 3-1, the Titans are off to their best start since 2013 under their first-year head coach, having won three straight — each by three points. Now Vrabel has a team that just got a big confidence boost from a 26-23 overtime win over the defending Super Bowl champion Eagles. “We’re trying to build our reputation as a team and a player on what we’re doing and what we will do as opposed to what we’ve done,” Vrabel said. Vrabel already has made it clear he’ll gamble on his Titans, going for it on fourth

down more than anyone in the NFL. The Titans have executed, converting five of seven attempts. Three of those came on their gamewinning drive in overtime . The Titans converted a fourth-and-15 with Marcus Mariota completing a 19-yard pass. They picked up first down on fourthand-4 on defensive pass interference. Facing fourthand-2 with Ryan Succop lining up for a 50-yard field goal attempt and a tie, Vrabel put the offence back out, and Mariota hit Dion Lewis for a 17-yard completion. Three plays later, Mariota found Corey Davis for the game-winning touchdown. Vrabel rewarded the Titans with a day off yesterday and game balls all around. The last time the Titans started 3-1, they finished 7-9 and Mike Munchak was fired for not making changes on his coaching staff.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The defending Super Bowl champions look mediocre. At the quarter point of the season, the Philadelphia Eagles (2-2) have an inconsistent offence and a defence that can’t stop anyone on the road. But coach Doug Pederson isn’t ready to make major changes following a 26-23 overtime loss at Tennessee. “We have to be more efficient in all three areas, obviously, offence and defence,” Pederson said yesterday. “But our efficiency as we look at it as a staff and as coaches, we have to be careful that we are not just on a whim swapping people out. If you start doing that, it starts moving other people around as well. “We’re going to take these next couple of days and really evaluate everybody, evaluate us as coaches, too, and see if there’s a change to be made, we’ll make it. If not, then we’ll leave it alone. At the same time, we can also coach a little bit better and get our guys prepared in a situation to play.” Defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz watched his unit waste a 17-3 lead midway through the third quarter by allowing a touchdown, field goal and touchdown on the next three possessions. After the Eagles took a lead in overtime, the Titans converted on fourth-and-15, fourth-and-4 and fourthand-2 on the winning drive. The secondary was torched by Marcus Mariota, who was 30 of 43 for 344 yards and two touchdowns. Ryan Fitzpatrick

1ST-PLACE DOLPHINS HARDLY LOOK LIKE THE AFC EAST’S BEST TEAM By STEVEN WINE AP Sports Writer DAVIE, Florida (AP) — The standings yesterday offered small consolation for the first-place Miami Dolphins. They hardly felt or looked like the best team in the AFC East after a 38-7 loss at New England. The drubbing left the Dolphins with a deceptive 3-1 record, injuries issues and room for recrimination. “That’s why today is always the toughest,” said coach Adam Gase, who has dealt with the day-after blues before. “Everyone is brutally honest. You’re going to have conflict; you’re going to have some back and forth. Today is an emotional day. “It’s a bad feeling when you get drummed in a division rival’s stadium. It’s not something you like to experience, and you’re mad you can’t do anything about it now.” Instead, the Dolphins began looking ahead to another road game Sunday against Cincinnati (3-1) while wondering who will be available to play. Centre Daniel Kilgore (torn left triceps) and cornerback Bobby McCain (knee) joined an already long injury list with serious ailments, and tackle Ja’Wuan James was also banged up. The rout will test the team’s culture, which Gase found wanting during a sixwin season in 2017. There were signs of strife Sunday when defensive tackle Jordan Phillips had an angry outburst on the sideline after coming out of the game. Gase defended defensive line coach Kris Kocurek’s rotation pattern. “There’s a reason we’re subbing the way we’re subbing against that team,” Gase said. “It’s not a secret why we’re doing it. Whatever Kris wants the

EAGLES defensive end Michael Bennett (77), tight end Josh Perkins (83) and tight end Dallas Goedert (88) leave the field after losing to the Titans in overtime on Sunday. The Titans won 26-23. (AP Photo/Mark Zaleski) had 402 yards passing and four TDs against the Eagles in Tampa’s 27-21 victory in Week 2. Cornerbacks Jalen Mills and Ronald Darby are having trouble in one-onone coverage, but lack of pressure by the defensive linemen isn’t helping the coverage guys. Mills gave up several big plays, but it doesn’t appear the team is ready to demote the thirdyear pro. “It’s tough. These corners are on islands a lot,” Pederson said. “I think I look at it from an offensive perspective. When you see a guy that maybe you can attack, you try to attack and that is what offences are doing right now. And he’s a good player, we have

a lot of confidence in him, he has a lot of confidence in himself, and a lot of it just comes down to just detail the work and understand the situation. He is working through it, he’ll get better and we’ll get better as a team.” The defence was missing safety Rodney McLeod, who had knee surgery last week. Corey Graham replaced him and made a glaring mistake allowing the conversion on fourth-and-15. At home, the defence has been dominant against Matt Ryan and the Falcons and Andrew Luck and the Colts. On the road, it’s been a struggle. “We play at home, we’re in front of

our crowd, it’s loud, our defence feeds off of that,” Pederson said. “You go on the road, you’re playing in their home stadium, it’s loud. It’s a strange dynamic. It’s hard to really put a finger on it, quite honestly, because it’s the same players, it’s the same scheme, same team, and we should end up almost feeding off the environment and all of that. But it’s something that we can learn from, we will learn from, and we’ve got to fix it quick.” The Eagles host the Minnesota Vikings (1-2-1) in an NFC championship game rematch on Sunday. The stakes are lower but both teams are desperate for wins.

PATRIOTS defensive tackle Adam Butler, right, sacks Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill (17) in the second half on Sunday. (AP Photo/Elise Amendola) D-linemen to do, that’s what we’re doing.” The Dolphins have cause to be testy, with their fast start now looking like a mirage. They’ve been outscored this season 90-82, and outgained by 435 yards. The offence ranks thirdworst in the NFL, and the secondary’s a mess, with even top cornerback Xavien Howard getting burned Sunday for two touchdowns. Gase struggled to explain how his team could play so badly after winning its first three games. He said the opponents were more physical, which hadn’t happened previously, and that wasn’t the lone issue. One familiar problem was penalties — 10 for 89 yards. “Nothing went right,” Gase said. “Nothing we did was good.” Receiver Albert Wilson offered an assessment that was candid but mystifying, given the high stakes against the division’s perennial powerhouse: “We didn’t have any energy going in.” Miami’s defensive front four looked especially listless, allowing Patriots rookie Sony Michel to run for 112 yards and his first

career touchdown. “It was a lot of shooting yourself in the foot — misalignments, missed tackles, self-inflicted wounds,” defensive end Cameron Wake said. “And maybe some physicality as well.” Because the Patriots’ defensive line also dominated, the Dolphins couldn’t run the ball, and Ryan Tannehill had little time to throw. He was able to target Danny Amendola only three times and Jakeem Grant twice even though both “were open the whole game,” Gase said. Absent was the creative play-calling of earlier games that led to chunk yardage. “When you’re not getting first downs, you’re not moving the football, you’re not getting the defence on their heels a little bit, it’s tough to get those play calls in,” Tannehill said. This year’s offensive line was expected to be the best Tannehill has played behind, but three of the five starters are now hurt, with guard Josh Sitton earlier sidelined for the season. That leaves Tannehill in a precarious position, much like Miami’s lead in the AFC East.

Flacco throws 2 TD passes, Ravens trip up Steelers 26-14 By WILL GRAVES AP Sports Writer PITTSBURGH (AP) — Eric Weddle walked into the interview room in full uniform. Then the Baltimore Ravens well-bearded safety did a little dance and made a proclamation. “I told you,” Weddle said. “These ain’t the same Ravens.” After two years and two painful near misses, he might be right. Baltimore can win in Pittsburgh again, fueling confidence the Ravens can win anywhere. The proof came in a cruelly efficient 26-14 victory over their AFC North rivals on Sunday night that looked an awful lot like how it used to look when Baltimore had it going earlier in head coach John Harbaugh’s tenure. Joe Flacco threw for a 363 yards and a pair of scores. Justin Tucker kicked four second-half field goals. Baltimore’s defence did the rest, keeping Ben Roethlisberger and Antonio Brown under wraps over the final 30 minutes as the Ravens

(3-1) ended a three-game losing streak to the Steelers (1-2-1). “You can’t become a true Raven until you win in Pittsburgh,” Weddle said. “I’ve officially become a Raven. What a great team win.” Pittsburgh managed just 47 yards in the second half, sputtering in a place the Steelers have so often soared. Not this time. Not on a night they converted just 2 of 12 third downs and didn’t take a snap in Baltimore territory after halftime. “I just didn’t make enough plays, point blank,” Roethlisberger said. “I’ll take ownership on this game. Squarely on me.” Two years ago, the Ravens fell on Brown’s “Immaculate Extension” on Christmas night. Last winter, Baltimore scored 38 at Heinz Field ... and got beat on a field goal in the final minute. Those memories have been hard to shake. “I think it was all in the back of our heads,” Weddle said. “The way we’ve lost here has not been fun.”

Sunday night appearances. Baltimore brought Pittsburgh’s run to an abrupt end. Roethlisberger finished 27 of 47 for 274 yards with a touchdown and an interception for the Steelers. Brown caught five passes for 62 yards, including his second touchdown pass in as many weeks. Yet Pittsburgh couldn’t generate anything in the second half. The Steelers mustered three first downs after the break and there was no balance to be found. Pittsburgh ran the ball 11 times for 19 yards, the absence of All-Pro running back Le’Veon Bell — who has yet to sign his franchise tender — growing more acute by the week. Harbaugh awarded one of the game balls to the defence. Defensive coordinator Don Martindale accepted after putting together a plan that Weddle said had the Ravens a step ahead. It certainly looked that way. While Pittsburgh floundered, Flacco put together a string of clockconsuming possessions that

(AP Photo/Don Wright) Maybe that’s what made this one a little sweeter than most. Even Harbaugh admitted this wasn’t just another opponent and this wasn’t just another victory, answering loudly “yes it does” when asked if there was a different vibe this time around. The Steelers (1-2-1) came in having won nine straight

ended with field goals by the ever reliable Tucker as Baltimore proved its strong start was no fluke. Harbaugh called Flacco’s play “phenomenal.” Flacco isn’t quite ready to go that far. If anything, he was angry the two teams were tied at the half after Baltimore let an early 14-point lead get away. The Steelers came in hoping the defence was slowly starting to find itself after forcing four turnovers last Monday night in Tampa during a victory Pittsburgh believed would resuscitate its season. Not quite. Flacco wasted little time helping Baltimore race to a 14-0 advantage. He found John Brown open on a 33-yard touchdown pass on Baltimore’s opening possession. Brown was double covered when Flacco let the ball go. By the time Brown chased it down in the end zone, both Steelers were two steps behind him and the Ravens were in front. Three snaps later Baltimore had the ball back thanks to a strip by safety

Tony Jefferson. It took the Ravens just four plays to go up two touchdowns, when Flacco flipped the ball in the flat to a wide-open Collins. The score marked the 13th straight red-zone trip by Baltimore that ended with a Ravens touchdown, the longest streak to start a season in NFL history. Baltimore’s 14th red-zone trip ended up far differently and briefly swung momentum. The Ravens had the ball at the Pittsburgh 2 with a chance to move ahead three scores when Steelers free safety Sean Davis ripped the ball from Collins and Pittsburgh rookie strong safety Terrell Edmunds recovered. Pittsburgh put together a lengthy drive that resulted in a Chris Boswell field goal to get within 14-6. The Steelers tied it with 2:50 left in the first half on a pretty 26-yard back-shoulder throw by Roethlisberger to Brown in the end zone and the ensuing 2-point conversion grab by Conner. Baltimore, however, kept coming as Pittsburgh crumbled.
