PITTSBURGH -- Sidney Crosby saw a small opening and took advantage for one memorable goal.Crosby put Pittsburgh ahead to stay with a dazzling score in the second period, and the Penguins beat the Dallas Stars 6-2 on Thursday night.There arent too many players in the league that would even think to make that type of play, Penguins coach Mike Sullivan said. Its a heads-up play by an elite player that thinks the game at an extremely high level and differently than most.Crosby also had two assists as Pittsburgh bounced back nicely from Wednesdays 5-3 loss to the New York Islanders. Eric Fehrs third goal of the season was No. 100 for his career, and Patric Hornqvist, Conor Sheary, Nick Bonino and Ian Cole also scored.Crosby got his league-leading 16th goal in the final 30 seconds of the second. Crosby, from behind the goal, initially tried to bank a shot off Stars goaltender Antti Niemi. When that plan was unsuccessful, he batted his own rebound out of the air, off Niemi and into the net.I was just trying to get it to the net on the first one, Crosby said. The second one, it was just kind of laying there for me. It was pretty slow, so it was a good one to get.Marc-Andre Fleury made 33 saves for Pittsburgh. Fleury, who won for the first time in five starts, has six wins in his last nine home games.He wasnt surprised by Crosbys goal.I see him do that in practice a lot on me, Fleury said. I was glad though because it was big for us.Tyler Seguin and Devin Shore scored for the Stars, who continue to struggle on the road. Niemi, playing in his 400th career game, stopped 34 shots.Dallas has three wins in 14 road games this season. The Stars have lost three straight and seven of their last 10 overall.I think we all take pride in here, Seguin said. Its just not good enough. Its frustrating and we have to dig deeper, especially in those big moments and find ways to win hockey games.Crosby has 16 goals in 18 games after missing the first six because of a concussion. He has six goals and 12 points in his last eight games.The Penguins are 7-0 following a regulation loss and 16-0-1 after the previous 17 regulation defeats dating to last season. Pittsburgh also snapped a four-game skid against the Stars.The defending Stanley Cup champions were an inconsistent group throughout the majority of November, alternating wins and losses most of the month.The Penguins hope Crosbys goal can help turn things around in December.I think we expect better of ourselves every game, Crosby said. Were working hard, but I still think we can execute better.Game notesStars D Stephen Johns, a Pittsburgh native, registered an assist in his first game against his hometown team. ...

Dele Alli Tottenham Jersey . -- The Bishops Gaiters are showing they belong among the countrys top varsity football teams.CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. -- A Tennessee high school basketball team had a culture of hazing and bullying even before three of its players were charged with raping a teammate, according to an investigation into the incident.But the investigation released Friday also said there was no evidence that Hamilton County school officials or Ooltewah High School administrators knew or should have known such an incident would occur.Gatlinburg police say three Ooltewah players assaulted a freshman teammate with a pool cue Dec. 22 in an apparent hazing incident while the team was participating in a holiday tournament. Police have said the pool cue tore through the freshmans clothing and into his rectum, forcing emergency surgery. The three were charged as juveniles with aggravated rape.Hamilton County school officials then commissioned an investigation conducted by attorney Courtney Bullard.Bullard, who conducted 40 interviews, reported that nine Ooltewah players said the team participated in an activity they called racking in before the Gatlinburg incident. When racking in, they said, upperclassmen turned out the lights in the locker room, grabbed a freshman and punched him from the neck down, without the intent to cause injury.Many players described `racking in as horseplay or `boys being boys, Bullard said in her report. This description is indicative of a desensitization and minimization of the behavior and a lack of education on what constitutes hazing.Bullard also said she couldnt substantiate whether coach Andre Montgomery and assistant coach Karl Williams were aware of the hazing and bullying but they certainly were aware of excessive horseplay. But she added that there was no prior culture of sexual harassment on the basketball team and the assailants had no prior history of reported similar conduct.Bullards 24-page report recommended making training on Title IX mandatory for all Hamilton County Deparrtment of Education and school administrators, specifically identifying and addressing bullying, hazing and harassment.dddddddddddd She also recommended training on proper reporting, and the repercussions for failure to report.Title IX is a federal law that prohibits sex discrimination in federally funded education programs.The report provides an opportunity to enhance our practices, provide better support and safety for all our students moving forward, interim Hamilton County Department of Education superintendent Kirk Kelly said. The recommendations will serve as a guide to provide ongoing monitoring and development of best practices.Kelly added that while this has been a difficult time for many, it will mean officials are better positioned in the future to respond to problems.Rick Smith, who was superintendent at the time of the incident, announced in March that he would retire July 1 and take leave effective immediately.Montgomery, Williams and assistant principal Allard Nayadley were charged in Hamilton County with failure to report child sexual abuse to the proper authorities, though charges against Williams were dropped in May.Montgomery was indicted in May on four counts of failing to report child sexual abuse.Nayadley entered a pre-trial diversion program in May. If he complies with terms of that program, which include performing community service and taking a class on mandatory reporting, the charges can be removed from his record. He also recently announced he was resigning.In addition, Gatlinburg police detective Rodney Burns faces aggravated perjury charges in Hamilton County stemming from his testimony in a preliminary hearing for the three Ooltewah High School officials.---Information from: Chattanooga Times Free Press, http://www.timesfreepress.com ' ' '
