(STATS) -- The top candidates for national offensive and defensive player of the year headline the 2016 STATS FCS All-America Team, announced Tuesday.Quarterbacks Jeremiah Briscoe of Sam Houston State and Gage Gubrud of Eastern Washington and Eagles wide receiver Cooper Kupp, who have been invited to the announcement of the STATS FCS Walter Payton Award, along with Missouri State linebacker Dylan Cole and defensive ends P.J. Hall of Sam Houston State and Karter Schult of Northern Iowa, the three at the announcement of the STATS FCS Buck Buchanan Award, are part of the All-America team that features 100 players from 60 schools across all 13 FCS conferences.CAA Football has the most All-Americans with 16, one more than the Missouri Valley Football Conference, which had the most first-team selections with seven, and the Southern (12) and the Big Sky (11) conferences also reached double figures. Charleston Southern, James Madison and North Dakota State had the high among schools with four selections each.The first-team quarterback honors between Briscoe and Gubrud will be determined by the Payton Award voting, whose top three will be revealed January 6 at the STATS FCS Awards Banquet in Frisco, Texas.Briscoe, a redshirt junior, set the FCS single-season record with 57 touchdown passes and threw for 4,602 yards for Sam Houston, which was the only unbeaten FCS team in the regular season. Gubrud, a redshirt sophomore, set the FCS record with 5,160 passing yards and threw 48 touchdowns. He led the nation with 5,766 total yards, just 33 shy of Steve McNairs FCS record at Alcorn State in 1994.Nobody knows the All-America first team quite like Kupp, who made it for the fourth time. The fifth-year senior caught 117 passes for 1,700 yards and 17 touchdowns, scored two other TDs and threw for two more in another dominant season for Eastern Washington.His biggest attribute is his consistency, and that he continues to find ways to produce when everybodys eyes are on him, Eagles coach Beau Baldwin said.Plus, he has the guts and the toughness not to be worried about any moment -- he just goes out and gets it done.Cole will head to the announcement of the Buck Buchanan Award, also January 6 at the national banquet, with an FCS-high 142 tackles. Schult had 17 sacks -- the Division I high -- and 24 tackles for loss, while Hall had 24 1/2 tackles for loss and 11 sacks.The rest of the first-team offense was running backs Tarik Cohen of North Carolina A&T and Chase Edmonds of Fordham, fullback Joe Protheroe of Cal Poly, wide receiver Karel Hamilton of Samford, tight end Dallas Goedert of South Dakota State, and offensive linemen Julien Davenport of Bucknell, Casey Dunn of Jacksonville State, Zack Johnson of North Dakota State, Mitch Kirsch of James Madison and Brandon Parker of North Carolina A&T.On defense, the other first-team selections were defensive linemen Keionta Davis of Chattanooga and Tanoh Kpassagnon of Villanova, linebackers Folarin Orimolade of Dartmouth, Christian Kuntz of Duquesne and Brett Taylor of Western Illinois, and defensive backs Dee Delaney of The Citadel, Lorenzo Jerome of Saint Francis, Donald Payne of Stetson and Cole Reyes of North Dakota.The first-team special teams selections were kicker David Marvin of Wofford, punter Miles Bergner of South Dakota, long snapper Joshua Appel of Indiana State, kick returner Darius Hammond of Charleston Southern, punt returner Rashad Davis of James Madison and all-purpose selection John Lovett of Princeton.The offensive players of the year in eight conferences and defensive players of the year in 12 conferences made the All-America team.---=2016 STATS FCS ALL-AMERICA TEAM=FIRST TEAMOFFENSE*-To be determined by STATS FCS Walter Payton Award results*QB -- Jeremiah Briscoe, junior, 6-3, 220, Sam Houston State, or Gage Gubrud, sophomore, 6-2, 195, Eastern WashingtonRB -- Tarik Cohen, senior, 5-6, 173, North Carolina A&TRB -- Chase Edmonds, junior, 5-9, 196, FordhamFB -- Joe Protheroe, junior, 6-0, 225, Cal PolyWR -- Karel Hamilton, senior, 6-1, 202, SamfordWR -- Cooper Kupp, senior, 6-2, 215, Eastern WashingtonTE -- Dallas Goedert, junior, 6-5, 250, South Dakota StateOL -- Julien Davenport, senior, 6-7, 315, BucknellOL -- Casey Dunn, senior, 6-3, 290, Jacksonville StateOL -- Zack Johnson, senior, 6-4, 329, North Dakota StateOL -- Mitch Kirsch, senior, 6-6, 290, James MadisonOL -- Brandon Parker, junior, 6-7, 299, North Carolina A&TDEFENSEDL -- Keionta Davis, senior, 6-4, 270, ChattanoogaDL -- P.J.

Now, correct me if Im wrong but I saw one official distinctly pointing at the net indicating a good goal but after an inconclusive review they overturned the goal. Shouldnt the ruling on the ice (good goal) stand after an inconclusive review? Why was this overturned? James Veaudry Pembroke, ON -- Hey Kerry, Youll get a lot of these, but why was the Montreal goal against Nashville Saturday night overturned? Eller puts the puck on net and the on ice ruling from the ref behind the net is a Montreal goal. Rick Monday Athletics Jersey . PAUL, Minn. https://www.cheapathleticsonline.com/2405m-frankie-montasdagger-jersey-athletics.html . Philadelphia is 2-0 against the Senators this season and scored five goals in each victory. The Flyers recorded a 5-0 win in Ottawa on Nov. 12 and then earned a 5-2 home decision on Nov. 19. The Flyers have claimed three straight and four of the last five encounters with the Sens overall and Philly has won two in a row and three of its past four tests in Canadas capital city. Luis Barrera Athletics Jersey . The Clippers were angry about blowing a big lead; the Kings didnt like being in that kind of hole and nearly digging themselves out only to lose. Bert Campaneris Jersey . The next step is a better finish. Bae played bogey-free Friday on another gorgeous day at Riviera for a 5-under 66, giving him a one-shot lead over Aaron Baddeley and Robert Garrigus going into the weekend. For years, Perry Dozier Sr. fibbed. OK, maybe downright lied is more accurate.Hed sign his son, PJ Dozier, up for rec leagues and area tournaments and fudge his sons age.But Perry wasnt trying to turn his son into a basketball Danny Almonte, hoping to buck the system so his son stood out among the competition. No, Perry would tell people PJ was two years older than he was, purposefully putting him at a disadvantage.The way Perry figured it, PJ not only would be challenged by the older, bigger boys, but also would avoid being pigeonholed and stuffed in the post from the first day he touched a ball because he was so much taller than kids his own age.The experiment worked -- well, except for the time PJ dribbled upcourt with tears streaming down his face because he was being pushed around too much by the older kids -- until father and son embarked on a little tour. They hit up all the big youth summer tournaments, and Perry finally had to come clean about PJs age.That summer, PJ finally played with kids his own age.He came home ranked the best fifth-grader in the nation by one recruiting service.It was exciting, but I was 10, PJ said. It didnt really mean anything. I knew I just had to stay the course.He did, following a pretty straight path from elementary school honors to top-20 prospect to McDonalds All American and now, especially since teammate Sindarius Thornwell is suspended, the most important piece of a South Carolina team that is off to an unexpected 8-1 start and No. 16 ranking.How did PJ avoid the child prodigy to child nobody detour? Easily. He might have been the best fifth-grader in the nation, but he wasnt even the best baller in his own family.The Twin Towers -- thats what they were called. Perry Dozier Sr. checked in at 6-foot-10, his twin brother Terry at 6-9. Together they led Baltimores Dunbar High School to a national championship and then both enrolled at South Carolina. Terry would go on to score 1,445 collegiate points and play briefly in the NBA, while Perrys career was cut short by a knee injury. But the Dozier name took hold in the state, associated with basketball excellence.Terry trained PJ for a time, and Perry coached his son for nearly the entirety of his career. They demanded a lot -- Terry maybe even a little more. Wary of keeping a separation between coach and father, Perry made sure he and his son had interests outside of basketball, taking PJ to the golf course or bowling alley regularly where the lone rule was that no one talked hoops.But neither father nor uncle worked PJ the hardest. No, the real taskmaster was his big sister, Asia. A four-star prospect, shed drag her kid brother onto the driveway of the familys home in Columbia, South Carolina, for relentless games of one-on-one, the end coming only when their mother, Theresa, had enough of the squabbling and forced a truce.She actually restricted us from playing one another for a while, Asia said. The games would almost always end in tears, usually PJs. Hes accustomed to winning and hes always had that failure isnt an option attitude, so I didnt have to say much. The end result would be enough for the tears.The two grew up in basketball together, Asia winning two state titles at South Carolinas Spring Valley High School and climbing her way up the recruiting rankings, PJs career drawing so many eyeballs that a website, pjdozier.net, chronicled his progress. PJ doesnt know who started the site and hasnt visited it in years, but its like walking into the pages of a scrapbook. Scroll to the bottom and youll find articles from as far back as that groundbreaking fifth-grade year and piictures of a scrawny kid with a big smile kissing trophies bigger than he is.dddddddddddd.As the scrawny kid gave way to a more seasoned player, things started to change -- most notably, on the driveway. Asia remembers her baby brother coming home after a month of summer hoops looking a whole lot less babyish.Where did all of those inches come from? she remembered saying to her mother.With PJs preteen growth spurt officially kicking in, she wisely opted out of one-on-one dogfights, choosing instead more winnable games of H-O-R-S-E.Those early sibling battles, though, paid their dividends for brother and sister. Asia earned her states Gatorade Player of the Year and Miss Basketball honors before becoming the latest Dozier to earn a scholarship to South Carolina. Four years later, she would graduate as a two-time captain, a three-year starter, a Final Four participant and part of the winningest class in Gamecocks history.Hot on her tail, along came PJ, bringing home more state Player of the Year honors for the familys trophy case, and attracting equally premiere programs: Louisville, Michigan and North Carolina all made the short list and, of course, South Carolina.Continuing the Dozier family legacy seemed the obvious choice.I was truly concerned, Perry said. I wanted what was going to be best for him and I thought the pressure of staying home might be too much.But Perry also recalled his own recruitment, when his mother mindfully toed the line between offering guidance without swaying her boys. Choosing a college, she told them, was both a deeply personal decision and their first adult decision and therefore not up to her to make. Perry took his moms advice to heart and backed off, letting PJ find his own way.He did his homework, carefully considering each of his choices, picking his sisters brain for the benefits and pratfalls of staying at home. Ultimately he opted for South Carolina, taking a flier on coach Frank Martin, who was still trying to resurrect the Gamecocks program, and taking on the extra pressure by staying home.To me, that showed a lot about his character, Martin said. It was us and the blue bloods, and he not only could have gone to one of the blue bloods, he could have gotten away from the extra scrutiny. For him to say no to that, that told me who PJ really was.Who he is, his father and sister both say, is a kid who is naturally gifted. Sports come easily to him -- those golf and bowling outings turned PJ into a terrific golfer and an even better bowler -- but he does not choose the easy road.There is, after all, only one place to go from being the nations best fifth-grader.Bust, PJ said. I never wanted that to come into play.So instead of showing off his ranking, he tucked it away. Even as a 10-year-old, he recognized that elementary school success doesnt equate to a guaranteed future. He worked with his uncle, listened to his father and tried to be better than his sister. When he walked into a gym, instead of trying to reward people who came to see him score some eye-popping number of points, he played his game.Consequently, the top fifth-grader not only became a top prospect who became a McDonalds All American who became a star on a top-25 team, but he also flip-flopped the Dozier family pecking order.We were the Dozier boys, Perry said of himself and his brother Terry, and now all of a sudden life has changed. Now Im PJs dad, and you know what? Its an awesome feeling. I like that title much more than the Dozier twins. ' ' '
