Shes the rookie in the star-studded NSW Swifts side for the trans-Tasman netball grand final, but emerging defender Maddy Turner knows more than most about winning big games.South Australian Turner has started every game for the Swifts since joining the team this season.She has slotted in seamlessly alongside Diamonds star Sharni Layton and proved a good replacement for retired international Julie Corletto.Winning grand finals has become a healthy habit for 20-year-old Turner.She has been part of the winning team in the last four 21 and under national championships, where she was named tournament MVP for the last two years.I played in South Australia and we got three (titles) in a row for the under 21s at nationals and then with NSW we won this year, Turner told AAP.Turner and Layton will both be conceding 9cm in height to Firebirds shooters Gretel Tippett and Romelda Aiken.Asked how Layton and herself could counter that, Turner quipped: Jump?There have been matches this year when Turner was the only non-international in the Swifts starting seven, but she hasnt been intimidated by playing alongside so many established stars.From the start it was a pretty welcoming environment, Ive just got so many players that I can learn off. Turner said.The big selection decision looming for Swifts coach Rob Wright is whether to change his midcourt.In last Mondays semi-final he opted to start Abbey McCulloch at wing defence and moved Laura Langman to centre and left Diamonds midcourter Paige Hadley out of the starting seven.If Hadley returns to the run on side she will face her former NSW age group and Australian World Youth Cup teammates, Kimberley Ravaillion and Gabi Simpson.Rav and me and Gabi grew up playing together, so its good always to come up against them and see what you can do, its always a really good tussle against each other, Hadley told AAP.Hopefully on Sunday the combination that gets out there in the midcourt can really get on top of them and put pressure on them.I think if we can stay there right to the end, weve got a really good chance to mow them down with our fitness and our skills. Matt Hunwick Sabres Jersey . Here are his mid-season NBA awards. MVP: (KEVIN DURANT-Thunder) - Has been sensational this season and more importantly, the most consistent player in the league. Considering that his team has been without star guard Russell Westbrook and with the free agent departure of sharpshooter Kevin Martin, hes had to carry the majority of the load to not only keep his team afloat but more importantly, at an elite level. Jake McCabe Sabres Jersey . William Carrier opened the scoring for Cape Breton (6-4-2), but Andrew Ryan tied the game and Brent Andrews put the Mooseheads (8-6-0) in front for good with a short-handed goal at 13:49 of the second period. http://www.sabresteamstoreonline.com/authentic-jake-mccabe-sabres-jersey/ .Y. -- Syracuse has turned up the defence at the right time all season, and when High Point threatened to pull off a monumental upset the second-ranked Orange did what they do best with their quick hands and savvy play.

Alabama?coach Nick Saban said he isnt aware of a pending transfer for Blake Barnett,?despite a report that the second-string quarterback has left the program.According to the report from AL.com, Barnett intends to transfer, which would make him the fourth quarterback to do so from Alabama since 2014, joining Parker McLeod, Luke Del Rio and Alec Morris.I know theres a lot swirling around about Blake Barnett, Saban said Wednesday. He did come to see me today before practice with some concerns about his future. Blake is a fine young man, hes done a great job with this program and wed love to see him be a part of the program in a future. But we also want him to do whats best for him.I dont have a final decision on that. Nobody has told me that. You may know more about it than I do, so I cant make any more comments about it other than that.Barnett, a redshirt ffreshman, started Alabamas season-opening game against USC before he was pulled in favor of Jalen Hurts.dddddddddddd Barnett, a former five-star product from California, appeared in three games and completed 11 of 19 passes for 219 yards and two touchdowns versus the Trojans.Redshirt junior Cooper Bateman?would become the clear No. 2 quarterback on the Crimson Tides depth chart with Barnetts departure. Bateman started one game last season and was the primary backup to then-starter Jake Coker.Hurts, a true freshman, has started each of Alabamas past three games and has thrown five touchdowns and just one interception. He also has rushed for three scores.Top-ranked Alabama (4-0) will host Kentucky on Saturday night in Tuscaloosa. ' ' '
