COLLEGE FOOTBALL

Alabama is again top dog in the Southeastern Conference – and perhaps headed to the College Football Playoff. The Crimson Tide ended Georgia’s 29-game winning streak with a 27-24 victory over the No. 1 Bulldogs in today’s Southeastern Conference championship game. Iron Bowl hero Jalen Milroe threw a pair of T-D passes and Number 8 Alabama’s defence dominated much of the way.

(Canadian Press)

Halifax, NS – Friday night, the Saskatchewan Rush dropped their opening game of the 2023/24 NLL season against the Halifax Thunderbirds, 17-12.

A slow start found the Rush down 9-4 after the first quarter and down 11-5 at the mid-way break. 

In the third quarter, Isaac Ngyou scored his first career National Lacrosse League goal, his first of two on the evening. 

Saskatchewan’s transition defenders provided four goals on the evening, but it wasn’t enough as Halifax took the contest. 

Next up, the Saskatchewan Rush will welcome the Rochester Knighthawks to town for their home opener on December 9th

Connor Bedard makes the TMZ headlines, he’s in the gossip big leagues now for all the wrong reasons not through his own fault …. sad. Question- why does his mom tag along wherever he goes? He’s a young man capable of looking out for himself one would think.
