Golden Jaguars' Trinidad trip in limbo
The planned encampment of Guyana's Golden Jaguars football squad over the weekend and the planned training camp in Trinidad and Tobago next week seem to be in limbo. The Georgetown and Linden players trained at different locations while the Technical Director Jamal Shabbazz is reported to be overseas and is likely to return to Guyana tomorrow. Sources disclosed that the players would be involved in physical sessions until Shabbazz returns but it is unclear why the players were not encamped as was disclosed by the Guyana Football Federation (GFF) and efforts to contact the Federa-tion's office yesterday proved futile. The sources revealed that the training camp in Trinidad and Tobago was not likely to come off before Guyana play Cuba later this month, but Shabazz or GFF President Colin Klass who is also reported to be overseas would be in a better position to shed light on the squad's current training programme.
Bank robbed in Gulf Shores
A man who told a teller he had a gun held up the BankTrust branch in Gulf Shores on Wednesday afternoon, according to FBI reports. The bank at 1700 Gulf Shores Parkway was robbed about 2 p.m., said Special Agent Angela Tobon, FBI spokeswoman. Tobon said the man walked into the bank, handed the teller a note and demanded money. "No weapon was displayed, but he did say he had one," Tobon said, adding that no one was injured. The man walked out of the bank with an undisclosed amount of cash. Investigators were looking for a late-model red Chevrolet pickup truck with Georgia license plates, Tobon said. There were reports of a truck of that description traveling north on Alabama 59, according to police radio alerts in Gulf Shores and Foley.
MICK MCCABE: Record free-throw streak ends at 102
After his first miss, a time-out was called, and Redford went to the bench while the North Branch public address announcer hailed the record. "People started applauding and my teammates gave me a hug; they knew I was a little disappointed," he said. "But I had to get my head back in the game right away and go out there and knock the second one down." The neat thing about Redford's streak is that he wasn't overwhelmed by the feat. He never dreaded going to the free-throw line -- he actually looked forward to each free throw. "Honestly, I think it helped me focus a little more," he said. "I didn't really feel pressure. Once you're up there, you just let it go. I tried not to think about it too much. Everybody else made a big deal about it. "I think 102 is a pretty good number.
