Playing his 300th NRL game, Melbournes Cooper Cronk didnt want the spotlight in the preliminary final against Canberra to be on him. Chris Covington Jersey .But a dominant first half at AAMI Park meant Cronk was front and centre.The Storm halfback became just the 25th player to reach the milestone and led his team on to their home ground, with the 30m line marks on either side of halfway changed to 300 in his honour.With a reputation for delivering when the pressure is on, Cronk did just that.He opened with a 40m run after scooping up a grubber kick by his Raiders opposite Aidan Sezer, who was forced to turn and chase him down.Cronk then scored Melbournes first try in the 32nd minute when he ran on to a Cameron Smith ball out of dummy half and dived across the line.It was a special moment with the pair the first 300-gamers to play in the same line-up.Players from both teams raced in as tensions boiled over but the ever-cool Cronk called his teammates away and led them downfield to address them in a huddle as Smith kicked the conversion.That gave the Storm an 8-6 lead to the delight of the mostly pro-Melbourne crowd of 28,261.They had more reason to celebrate with the home side holding on to win 14-12 after a thrilling second half to book a grand final berth and give Cronk another chance to star again.These chances dont come around too often, Cronk told the Nine Network after the preliminary final.It makes you proud to play rugby league for a living.Its great to celebrate 300; weve got some hard work this week and 301 will be a bit of a celebration too, hopefully. Leighton Vander Esch Jersey . Ferrer, trying to win his fourth title on Mexican soil, will next play South Africas Kevin Anderson, who eliminated American Sam Querrey,7-6 (2), 6-4. Also Wednesday, Gilles Simon (6) of France beat Donald Young of the United States 6-4, 6-3, Ukraines Alexandr Dolgopolov downed Frenchman Jeremy Chardy 6-3, 6-4 and Croatias Ivo Karlovic defeated Dudi Sela of Israel 7-6 (4), 6-2. Mike White Jersey . As he recorded his 23rd and 24th points of the evening, a segment of the sellout Air Canada Centre crowd expressed their appreciation for the Raptors point guard with a smattering of MVP chants. http://www.authenticcowboysshopnfl.com/bo-scarbrough-jersey/ .Y. -- Paul Byron and Matt Stajan scored as the Calgary Flames started a five-game road trip with a 2-1 overtime win over the Buffalo Sabres on Saturday afternoon. DURHAM, N.C. -- All of Dukes depth that was trumpeted prior to the season has been mostly an afterthought through the first couple of weeks of the season.The Blue Devils have been limited by injuries and at times nearly alarmed by the volume of ailments.But theyve mostly kept winning -- as they have been expected to do since beginning the season as the countrys top-ranked team.Even with a smaller rotation of players, the Blue Devils have made it work.Its more of an ironman, five-man game, Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said during the weekends Basketball Hall of Fame Tip-Off.The sixth-ranked Blue Devils (4-1) are back in action Wednesday night when William & Mary (2-1) visits for a nonconference game at Cameron Indoor Stadium. This is the start of a four-game homestand for Duke.Its unclear whether any of the three injured freshmen -- Marques Bolden, Harry Giles, Jayson Tatum -- who have yet to make their collegiate debuts will play.Were trying to win with the hand thats dealt us, Krzyzewski said.In Sundays tournament final against Rhode Island, guards Matt Jones and Luke Kennard played all 40 minutes and guard Grayson Allen, who has been bothered by toe and leg ailments, logged 39 minutes.Im just proud of everybody the way we responded to that, Kennard said of the reduced available roster.Duke has won 27 of the 30 previous meetings with the Tribe.Across an eight-season period, William & Mary has knocked off three Atlantic Coast Conference opponents. That includes last falls season-opening upset at North Carolina Staate. Authentic Cowboys Jerseys. However, last weeks outing at ACC member Louisville didnt go well for the Tribe -- a 91-58 loss.William & Mary coach Tony Shaver said he wasnt pleased with the teams competitiveness in the second half. He expects more from his team against another high-level opponent.Its a big challenge, obviously, Shaver said. Theyre pretty good last time I checked. ... I think its a neat opportunity for this club right now because we played so poorly at Louisville. (This comes) in a hostile environment against an extremely talented team.While Shaver said Louisville dictated the game, he was happier with how the Tribe responded in defeating Presbyterian. Now, its another test against a national power.I want to see us go down there and play hard, Shaver said. I want to see us go down there and execute at the level were capable of. Its not going to be perfect. Its not going to be pretty at times.William & Marys Daniel Dixon, a guard coming off a 20-point outing against Presbyterian, said: I think were definitely excited and ready to show we can compete. I dont think we executed well against Louisville and I think thats a big key.This is the third season in a row that the Tribe has a road game against a Top 10 opponent.The Tribe has connected on double-figure 3-pointers in two of its games this season. Senior swingman Omar Prewitt will appear in his 100th career game for William & Mary. Cheap Nike NFL Jerseys NFL Jerseys From China NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys China NFL Jerseys Cheap China Jerseys Wholesale Cheap NFL Jerseys China ' ' '
