Berkeley, CA (SportsNetwork. Lions Official Jerseys .com) - Hall of Fame trainer Jerry Hollendorfer saddled three horses for Saturdays $100,000 California Derby at Golden Gate Fields, and it was his Cross the Line that gave the conditioner an eighth win in the stakes. Breaking from the inside post in the eight-horse field, Cross the Line and jockey Juan Hernandez stalked the pace going up the backstretch in the 1 1/16- mile stakes. Cross the Line, co-owned by Hollendorfer, went wide around the final turn to engage 42-1 longshot Midnight Destiny for the lead. Hollendorfers colt went past the longshot and posted a 1 3/4-length victory, followed by 2-1 favorite Soul Driver and stablemate Stand and Salute. Completing the order of finish were Broughton Kitten, Steel, Midnight Destiny, Sandor the Hound and Rye Patch. Steel was Hollendorfers third horse in the race. The time for the Cal Derby was 1:44.79 on Golden Gates synthetic main track. The California Derby is the local prep for the $200,000 El Camino Real Derby at Golden Gate. The El Camino Real Derby is part of the Road to the Kentucky Derby series. Cross the Line, the 9-2 fourth choice, registered his second career win in his fourth start. The $60,000 from Saturdays victory puts his earnings at $83,920. We took our time with him, said Hollendorfer. Hes a big horse and he wasnt responding really well early on. He had some time off after we bought him at the sale. It looks like he might get a little more ground. Juan did a real good job with the horse, so a lot of credit goes to him. I will point him to the El Camino Real Derby with the expectation that he would run pretty well in there. Hollendorfer has now won the event four straight years with earlier wins from Russian Greek (2012), Zeewat (2013) and Exit Stage Left (2014). The trainer also found the winners circle with Cause to Believe (2006), Chocolate Candy (2009), Pike Place Dancer (1996) and Bwana Bull (2007). Cross The Line returned $11.40, $4.80 and $3.60. Soul Driver paid $3.60 and $2.80, and Stand And Salute paid $3.00 to show. Wholesale Lions Jerseys . -- The Seattle Seahawks and wide receiver Sidney Rice have agreed to terms on a deal.

The Canadian skicross racer appeared to have the bronze medal locked up in the mens final at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics, only to wipe out while trying to make a pass in the biggest moment of his career.Atlanta, GA (SportsNetwork.com) - After patiently waiting for his time to come, Blake Sims more than showed he was ready for the moment. With the fifth-year senior throwing for 262 yards and two touchdowns in a near-flawless performance, No. 1 Alabama left no doubt of its imminent inclusion in the College Football Playoff with a 42-13 manhandling of 14th- ranked Missouri in the SEC Championship Game. The Crimson Tides authortative victory virtually assured them of playing in one of the two national semifinal games to be held on New Years Day, most likely in the Sugar Bowl as the top overall seed in the four-team playoff. It was also allow Sims the opportunity to attempt to do what A.J. McCarron and Greg McElroy did before him -- quarterback the Crimson Tide to a national championship. The first-year starter connected on a sharp 23-of-27 passes, with 12 of his completions going to Heisman candidate Amari Cooper, and Alabama (12-1) churned out 242 yards on the ground in dealing Missouri a second straight loss in the conference title game. The East champion Tigers fell 59-42 to Auburn in Atlanta a year ago. Derrick Henry and T.J. Yeldon each ran for a pair of touchdowns, with Henry amassing a career-high 141 yards on 20 carries. DeAndrew White added 101 receiving yards and a touchdown on four catches, with Cooper contributing 83 yards in the blowout. Jimmie Hunt racked up a career-best 169 yards on six receptions for Missouri (10-3), but the Tigers mustered just 41 rushing yards while allowing 504 total to the Crimson Tide. Maty Mauk couldnt match Sims exploits, with the Mizzou signal-caller finishing an inconsistent 16-of-34 for 272 yards and a touchdown. Sims was named the games MVP afterward and stated his case right away. He hit on his first nine passes, five of which came on a 10-play, 68-yard opening drive in which Alabama effortlessly moved down the field to grab an early edge on Yeldons 1-yard touchdown run just over 3 1/2 minutes in. Missouris offense, on the other hand, mustered a meager 27 yards and one first down over its first four possessions. But the Tigers were still able to keep it a 7-0 score into the second quarter, aided by a 43-yard missed field goal by Adam Griffith on Alabamas fourth series. The Crimson Tide had no problem extending the lead on their subsequent drive, however, as White got behind the Tigers defense to haul in Sims perfectly thrown deep ball for a 58-yard touchdown with 11:48 left in the first half. The big play turned out to be a doubly crushing blow for the Tigers, as star defensive eend Shane Ray was ejected on the score for delivering a blow to Sims head well after the throw. Lions Stitched Jerseys. Missouri did manage to generate something positive on its ensuing trek, as Hunt came down with Mauks up-for-grabs heave for a 32-yard gain that positioned Andrew Baggett for a 33-yard field goal that cut the deficit to 14-3. Alabama countered with another impressive offensive set, a 14-play, 75-yard march in which Sims converted three third-down situations with completions. Yeldon finished the jaunt with a 2-yard run to send the Crimson Tide into the break owning a commanding 21-3 advantage. Sims went 15-of-17 for 160 yards over the first two quarters, while Cooper had 10 catches totaling 61 yards at the half. Missouri regrouped after the intermission to make a bid to get back in it in the third quarter. Mauk escaped a rush on 3rd-and-10 to fire a 63-yard deep strike to Hunt down the left sideline to begin the third quarter, then hit Bud Sasser on a slant shortly afterward for a 1-yard touchdown on 4th-and-goal. Mauk and Hunt were at it again on the Tigers subsequent drive, teaming up for a 47-yard gain on another 3rd-and-10 play that led to Baggetts 33-yard field goal which pulled Missouri within 21-13 with 4:37 to go in the third quarter. The Tigers next three possessions resulted in two punts and a lost fumble, however, as Alabama pulled away. Three clutch catches by Cristion Jones, the last a 6-yard touchdown grab, highlighted a 10-play, 64-yard series that put the Tide up 28-13 early in the fourth quarter. Alabama then ripped off 90 yards in just six plays after getting the ball back, with Henry capping the drive by breaking free for a 26- yard touchdown run with under eight minutes left. Henry then scampered 45 yards to the Missouri 1-yard line following a Tigers turnover before powering over the goal line on the next play for the games final points.
