(AKRON) — Morgan Whitehead got behind the defense to score a basketball with 34-seconds to play to extend a two-point lead to four and then Caitlin Murphy came up with a steal and lay-in moments later to give Gehlen Catholic a 40-34 advantage and the Lady Jays held off Akron-Westfield to win 40-36 in Akron Tuesday night. The game was the War Eagle Conference opener for both teams and keeps Gehlen unbeaten at 3-and-0 for the season.

Akron-Westfield, which fell to 2-and-2 for the season, got a game-high 16 points from Sarah Schroeder and nine from Kayla Tindall. Carli Murphy paced Gehlen’s scoring with ten with Morgan Whitehead and Caitlin Murphy adding eight each.

NEW YORK (AP) – Florida State quarterback Jameis (JAYM’-ihs) Winston is the second freshman to win the Heisman Trophy, one year after Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel (man-ZEHL’) captured it in his first season. Winston set FBS freshman records with 3,820 yards passing and 38 touchdown passes while leading the No. 1-ranked Seminoles to a 13-0 record and berth in the BCS championship game. His 190.6 passer efficiency rating is tops in the country and on pace to set an NCAA record.
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) – The University of Texas has announced that Mack Brown is stepping down after 16 seasons as head football coach but will coach the Longhorns in the Alamo Bowl against Oregon on Dec. 30. Brown went 158-47 after leaving North Carolina for Austin, Texas, in 1997. He enjoyed great success while the Longhorns went 101-16 with one national championship from 2001-09, but the team has gone just 30-20 since.
PHILADELPHIA (AP) – The annual Army-Navy game has gone to the Midshipmen for the 12th straight year as quarterback Keenan Reynolds ran for three touchdowns in a 34-7 rout of the Cadets. Reynolds has 29 rushing touchdowns, breaking the single-season mark for a quarterback previously shared by Ricky Dobbs of Navy and Kansas State’s Collin Klein. Army fumbled five times and was intercepted once in its fifth straight defeat.
