Hunt named ECAC Coach of the Year

HAMILTON – Colgate head coach Dan Hunt, a Canajoharie graduate, and a pair of Colgate players were part of the 2015 ECAC FCS All-Star Team.

Juniors Pat Afriye on defense and Jordi Dalmau on offense were both first-team selections, while Hunt was named the division’s Coach of the Year. The team was voted on by representatives from the division’s member institutions.

The Colgate trio helped the Raiders to an undefeated run to the Patriot League championship and a return to the NCAA playoffs. Colgate won twice in the postseason and advanced to the FCS quarterfinals – both for just the second time in program history.

Hunt also was named Patriot League Coach of the Year and one of 15 finalists for STATS FCS Coach of the Year. He guided the Raiders to a perfect 6-0 conference record for their eighth Patriot League championship.

Hunt in just two seasons as head coach already owns a 9-3 record against Patriot League competition.

Beyonce to perform at Super Bowl

NEW YORK (AP) – Beyonce is returning to the Super Bowl halftime show.

Pepsi confirmed to The Associated Press on Thursday that the 34-year-old singer will perform at the Feb. 7 show at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California. Last month, Coldplay announced it would perform at the halftime show.

Beyonce headlined the 2013 Pepsi Super Bowl halftime show in New Orleans at the Superdome, where she was joined by her Destiny Child’s bandmates, Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams.

Beyonce and Coldplay recently collaborated on the band’s new album, “A Head Full of Dreams.”

Katy Perry, who performed at last year’s Super Bowl, had the most-watched halftime show in history with 118 million viewers. Other past halftime headliners include Bruno Mars, Prince, Madonna, Bruce Springsteen, U2 and the Rolling Stones.

Reed begins title defense at Kapalua

KAPALUA, Hawaii (AP) – The first round of the new year on the PGA Tour was not an encore for Jordan Spieth – or defending champion Patrick Reed.

Spieth had said earlier in the week that an encore means the show is over, and it sure didn’t look that way at the Hyundai Tournament of Champions. He opened with seven birdies and no bogeys for a 7-under 66 that left him one shot behind when Reed finished strong and made a 15-foot eagle putt on the 18th hole for a 65.

Reed hasn’t won since he rallied to win at Kapalua a year ago, though he hasn’t been far off. He ended last year with six top 10s in five countries, and he showed his comfort level on a Plantation Course in gorgeous sunshine and only a stiff breeze that picked up in the middle of the round.

Reed and Spieth both had eagle putts on three of the par 5s.

The difference was Reed converting on the final hole. They were in the last group and part of a five-way tie for the lead when Reed smashed a 3-wood from 309 yards that trickled onto the front of the green and let the grain take it 15 feet below the hole.

Brandt Snedeker, still battling a head cold, J.B. Holmes and Danny Lee were all at 67, while Fabian Gomez of Argentina was another shot behind.
