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. — Bulletin wire reports POWERBALL The numbers drawn Saturday night are: 1 Oregon Lottery results As listed at oregonlottery.org and individual lottery websites 2 NBA EASTERN CONFERENCE W L Pct Phila. 14 6 .700 Brooklyn 13 8 .619 Milwaukee 11 8 .579 indiana 11 8 .579 Boston 10 8 .556 atlanta 10 9 .526 Cleveland 9 10 .474 Charlotte 9 11 .450 new york 9 11 .450 Orlando 8 12 .400 Chicago 7 11 .389 Miami 7 12 .368 Toronto 7 12 .368 detroit 5 14 .263 Washington 3 12 .200 WESTERN CONFERENCE W L Pct utah 15 4 .789 l.a.

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 TOP 25 SCORES Saturday’s Games no. 13 South Florida vs. Cincinnati, ppd. no. 18 Gonzaga 79, Saint Mary’s (Cal) 52 no. 24 West Virginia 79, TCu 70 no. 25 South dakota St. at denver, ccd.

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 Nigel Cook/(Daytona Beach, Fla.)

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.
