Troy Aikman helped the Cowboys become the first team to win three titles in four seasons in the 1990s — and Brady matched him a decade later. Starr, Bradshaw, Staubach (they called him Captain Come- back), Montana, Aikman. Vince Lombardi, Noll, Tom Landry, Bill Walsh, Jimmy Johnson. None of them have a claim to the sustained excellence of Brady and Belichick, the only duo to go to seven Super Bowls and win five. “He cast a wizard spell over us that changed everything,” tackle Nate Solder said of Belichick and the message at halftime, when the Patriots trailed 21-3 before going down 28-3 in the third quarter. Joking aside, the Patriots probably never panicked because they can lean on things such as 16 consecutive winning seasons (Dallas has the record with 20) and an NFL-best 34 playoff games and 25 postseason wins for Brady. “At halftime, I would say we weren’t down at all,” said Brady, who won his fourth Super Bowl MVP award by leading two fourth-quarter touchdown drives that included 2-point conversions to force overtime. “We were disappointed in the way we played, and we knew that we could go out and do a lot better in the second half.” Brady and Belichick fall short of the nine NBA titles that Bill Russell and Red Auerbach won together in Boston, or the six that Michael Jordan and Phil Jackson celebrated in Chicago. There will always be argu- ments for the multiple dynasties of the New York Yankees, who have 27 World Series titles. Short- stop Derek Jeter and manager Joe Torre won four together in a span of five seasons from 1996 to 2000, not to mention Mickey Mantle and Casey Stengle or Lou Gehrig and Joe McCarthy. And don’t forget about the Montreal Canadiens, who won 16 NHL titles in 27 seasons from the 1950s to the 1970s. Then again, leagues were smaller and rosters were thinner back then, and the conversation was nearly about Atlanta ending its championship drought. “To come back and just stall and just give Tom Brady a glimpse of a chance to come back, we did that,” Falcons receiver Taylor Gabriel said. “It’s tough to lose like that in the Super Bowl.” Instead, the spotlight is firmly back on Brady, Belichick and the Patriots, who might not even be done — they’re already favored to repeat in 2018.

Running a box-and-one defense, the Grizzlies were able to keep the Eagles’ (14-4, 11-0 OOL) offense in check in the first half. Freshman star Mick Schimmel was held to just four points in the game and the Grizzlies (4-13, 3-8) trailed by just two points at 27-25 at halftime. “We definitely had to adjust to their defense,” Nixyaawii coach Shane Rivera said. But in the second half, the Eagles got in a rhythm and went on to outscore Helix 34-9 in the second half. A big reason for the success was sophomore Deven Barkley who led all scorers with 24 points. “He hit a couple of outside shots, but for the most part he was able to penetrate and get to the basket,” Rivera said of Barkley. “We put Chandler Case at the high post and he (Deven) exploited the defense and did a good job given that Schimmel wasn’t a factor.” Case turned in a double-double for Nixyaawii with 15 points and 10 rebounds. Justin Williams led Helix with 18 points and Grant Christman added eight points. Helix heads to Cove on tonight, while Nixyaawii heads to Powder Valley on Wednesday. ———— GHS 7 18 7 2 — 34 NCS 16 11 16 18 — 61 HELIX — J. Williams 18, G. Christman 8, J. Shaw 6, J. Sprenger 2, G.

BURNS 42, RIVERSIDE 38 (OT) — At Boardman, the Riverside Pirates were just seconds away from an upset over Burns, but late-game magic and too many missed opportunities led to a Riverside defeat 42-38 in overtime on Saturday night. Riverside (6-13, 2-7 EOL) led 38-35 with just seconds left in regulation when Burns attempted a 3-pointer. The shot missed, but bounced to Burns’ Kai Dahl who stepped behind the 3-point line and put up a shot, one that banked into the basket just as the buzzer sounded, sending it to overtime. “The kids played really, really hard and I’m happy for how well they played,” Riverside coach Clair Costello said. “We just can’t score right now and had some bad breaks.” Eon Castillo led Riverside with 12 points and five rebounds, while Ricardo Rosales had nine points. Zane Taylor led Burns with 10. Riverside next plays its season finale at Umatilla on Friday night at 7:30 p.m. ———— BHS 11 15 3 9 4 — 42 RHS 3 13 13 9 0 — 38 BURNS — Z. Taylor 10, K. Dahl 9, S.

Girls Basketball BURNS 46, RIVERSIDE 41 — At Boardman, the Riverside Pirates led for a portion of the fourth quarter, but did not have enough to hang on against the solid Burns Hilanders with a 46-41 defeat on Saturday. “We played so poor (Friday) against Irrigon and then we played so well tonight and we should’ve had them (Burns) beat,” Riverside coach Clair Costello said, “We just turned it over too much and didn’t make enough baskets when we needed it.” Lacey Mashos led Riverside with 14 points and Alondra Caldera had 10 points. Skylar Wightman had six points and four assists. Riverside next plays at Umatilla on Friday night. ———— BHS 6 16 8 16 — 46 RHS 11 6 7 17 — 41 BURNS — Taylor 16, C.

NIXYAAWII 73, HELIX 19 — At Mission, Mary Stewart drilled 10-11 shots from 3-point range and scored 41 points to lead the Nixyaawii Golden Eagles to a blowout victory over the Helix Grizzlies on Saturday night. As a team, Nixyaawii (18-0, 11-0 OOL) shot 47 percent (27-57) from the floor and turned the ball over just four times as they won for the 18th straight game. Helix (8-8, 4-6) had its two game win streak snapped with the loss on Saturday. Nixyaawii next heads to Powder Valley on Wednesday night, while Helix will head to Cove on Tuesday. ———— GHS 0 7 3 9 — 19 NCS 19 20 28 6 — 73 NIXYAAWII — M. Stewart 41, M. Schimmel 7, K. Melton 6, E.
