SPORTS BRIEFING
FOOTBALL
National team tops American in Senior Bowl — Texas
A&M’s Kellen Mond was the Senior Bowl Most Valuable
Player but two fellow Southeastern Conference Western Di-
vision products made the decisive big play. Arkansas’ Feleipe
Franks threw a 21-yard touchdown pass to Mississippi tight
end Kenny Yeboah in the fourth quarter to help seal the Na-
tional team’s 27-24 victory over the American team Saturday.
Franks, a graduate transfer from Florida, set up the all-SEC
West scoring connection with a 29-yard completion to Louis-
ville’s Dez Fitzpatrick. Fitzpatrick had six catches for 90 yards
in the showcase game for senior and graduate NFL prospects,
earning offensive player of the game honors. Mond was the
MVP with a huge third quarter when he passed for 141 of his
173 yards and a pair of touchdowns after a slow start. North
Carolina running back Michael Carter also had a big game.
Carter scored on a pile-driving 12-yard run late in the third
quarter to help the National retake the lead after a Mond-led
comeback. Jamie Newman completed a 10-yard touchdown
pass to Trevon Grimes with 49 seconds left for the American
team after Franks and Yeboah made it a two-score game. The
former Wake Forest quarterback, who transferred to Georgia
but opted out before the season, set it up with a 35-yard com-
pletion to Bowling Green tight end Quintin Morris. Tulane
defensive lineman Cam Sample was the defensive player of the
game. Sample had seven tackles and a share of a sack. Miami
Dolphins coach Brian Flores led the National team and Caro-
lina’s Matt Rhule coached the American team.
GOLF
Reed tied for lead at Farmers amid rules controversy
— Patrick Reed was involved in another rules controversy
Saturday in the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines. He
also had a share of the lead with Carlos Ortiz. On the par-4
10th, Reed hit a 190-yard shot out of a bunker with a TV re-
play showing the ball bounced once before settling into the
rough. Believing the ball didn’t bounce, Reed picked it up to
see if it was embedded before a rules official arrived. Reed
told the official that no one in his group, as well as a nearby
volunteer, saw it bounce. Reed was awarded a free drop and
saved par. He bogeyed four of the next six holes before birdie-
ing No. 18 for a 2-under 70 and a share of the lead with Ortiz
at 10 under. Ortiz had a 66 on the South Course. In December
2019 in Tiger Woods’ Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas,
Reed was penalized two strokes for appearing to deliberately
improve his lie in a bunker. The incident on 10 overshadowed
Reed’s eagle on the par-5 sixth when he reached in two and
made a 40-foot putt to get to 12 under. Sam Burns (70), Lanto
Griffin (72), Viktor Hovland (73), Jon Rahm (72) and Adam
Scott (72) were two shots back at 8 under. Rory McIlroy (70)
was in a group of four at 7 under.

Platforms like the West

Campaign cite statistics of
COVID-19 cases and deaths
among young people — zero
in Oregon ages 0-19 — while
point to other states that have
played through the pandemic
— transmission rate of high
school athletes in states like
Utah found to be lower than
the general population — and
the eagerness for the adults to
take any safety measure neces-
sary to get kids back playing.
But at the crux of the cam-
paign is a study conducted by
the University of Wisconsin

ducted by the University of
Wisconsin School of Medicine
in July — completed by a team
of physicians, child health ex-
perts and researchers — found
that approximately 68% of the
more than 3,000 student-ath-
letes surveyed, reported feeling
anxiety and depression at levels
nearly twice as high as surveys
in years past.
“The results of the study are
both striking and concerning,”
said Dr. Claudia Reardon, as-
sociate professor of psychiatry
at the University of Wisconsin
School of Medicine and Public
Health, in a press release. “We
know that exercise and physi-
cal activity are powerful anti-
depressants and anti-anxiety
interventions, and we strongly
encourage public health ex-
perts and school administra-
tors to thoughtfully consider
both the benefits and risks of
prolonged school closures and
sport cancellations.”
Oregon was one of the few
states in the country to not
have official high school sports
competitions this past fall. Now
the state is approaching yet an-
other decision to start back up
for the first time in 11 months,
despite the current restrictions,
or further delay already short-
ened sports schedules.
Student-athletes have been
able to continue to practice in
some capacity but without the
same regularity or team-wide
drills that help build toward a
season.
“It is challenging right now,
they can work on their skills —
basketball players can work on
dribbling and shooting — but
ultimately they are missing out
on the aspects that are most

His team will have to con-
tend with the full-time Action
Express entry, which brought
in reigning NASCAR cham-
pion Chase Elliott for his sports
car debut.
Hendrick sent a handful of
its employees to Daytona, in-
cluding former Johnson crew
chief Chad Knaus and Jeff
Gordon, who was part of the
Rolex winning team in 2017 for
Wayne Taylor Racing. Johnson
climbed atop the pit stand after
his drive to chat with both El-
liott and Gordon.
Elliott seemed despondent
after his first run in his first
sports car race. He said he was
“terrible,” “way off the pace,”
and “didn’t do a good job at all.”
His No. 31 Action Express
entry had slipped to last in his
class after the driver change be-
tween Elliott and Mike Conway.
But the Cadillacs appeared to
have an edge, at least according
to Acura factory driver Dane
Cameron. The Acura program

The drivers of the No. 48 Cadillac DPi, led by seven-time NASCAR Cup
Series champ Jimmie Johnson, left, are ready to race Saturday as the
Rolex 24 at Daytona got a green flag. Johnson’s teammates are Kamui
Kobayashi, Simon Pagenaud and Mike Rockenfeller.

to IMSA’s top series.
That includes Wayne Taylor
Racing, which returned to Day-
tona as winner of the last two
Rolex 24’s and three of the last
four dating to Gordon’s win.
But the team switched from
Cadillac during the offsea-
son and is still adjusting to the
move. The transition has been
eased by drivers Ricky Taylor,
Helio Castroneves and Alexan-
der Rossi, who all piloted the
Acura the last three years for
Team Penske.
But the Cadillacs — there are
four in the seven-car DPi class
— have so far been leaders of
the pack.
The Ganassi entry was the

important of being on a team,”
Ahlf said.
Perhaps most troubling is
the issue of taking time away
that cannot be made up. Unlike
professional sports, in which
athletes are able to opt out for
a year, or college, in which stu-
dent-athletes are able to sit out
a year without losing eligibil-
ity, high school athletes do not
have that luxury.
Once high school is over, it
is over.
“I played baseball in college
and coached basketball,” Ahlf
said. “I can’t imagine what it
would be like to have a full year
of not having sports. It was
such a big part of me growing
up. I can’t imagine not having
it for a year. You can’t go and
get it back.”

two hours in the race behind
starter Renger van der Zande,
who along with Kobayashi won
two-straight with WTR and
both are seeking to become the
first driver to win three consec-
utive Rolex watches.
Ganassi, who has eight Rolex
victories, is also using reign-
ing IndyCar champion Scott
Dixon and Kevin Magnussen,
who moved to sports cars after
seven seasons in Formula One.
As Dixon awaited his turn in
the car, he marveled at the job
Johnson has done over the last
two months. Dixon and John-
son will be Ganassi teammates
in IndyCar.
“I think a lot of people, what
they see, especially on our team,
is just his work ethic and he
grinds out everything,” Dixon
said. “He’s just trying to get up
to speed as quick as possible. ”
Johnson acknowledged he’s
an old dog trying to learn new
tricks.
“It’s been fun really challeng-
ing myself behind the wheel in
an entirely new way,” Johnson
said.
