Sussex 111 for 1 (Nash 62*) trail Glamorgan 252 (Wallace 61, Wagg 57, Archer 4-91) by 141 runsScorecard Luke Wrights decision to insert Glamorgan paid dividends as they fell for a below par 252 in 60.1 overs, before Chris Nash and Ed Joyce compiled an opening partnership of 111 that kept Sussexs hopes of a late promotion challenge simmering. Sussex trailed by 142 at the end of the first day and are well placed to gain a substantial lead on first innings.Not for the first time this season Glamorgan relied on their middle and late order batsmen to get them out of trouble, slumping to 56 for 5 before lunch. The last five wickets added 196 runs with Graham Wagg and Mark Wallace scoring half centuries and Owen Morgan, who last week scored an undefeated 103 as night watchman against Worcestershire, again impressing with 32 not out.Jofra Archer, a former West Indies U-19 player whose breakthrough in all three formats in the past month has won a contract until the end of next season, achieved career-best championship figures of 4 for 91, but he will bowl better than this and be less rewarded.Nick Selman, who three weeks ago carried his bat against Northants, scoring 122 not out, was out to the fifth ball of the innings, and has now failed to score in four successive innings. He was quickly followed by Jacques Rudolph, whose miserable season continued when he gloved an innocuous delivery from Archer down the leg side to the wicketkeeper.The Sussex seamers continued to take wickets, but Glamorgans batsmen contributed to their downfall with some pr shot selection - Will Bragg following one from Steve Magoffin and David Lloyd, who struck his first ball for six, nudging to slip.Wagg and Aneurin Donald began Glamorgans revival with a partnership of 50, before Donald played on to Archer, and although Craig Meschede was out sn afterwards, Wagg went on to score 57 with ten boundaries before giving David Wiese a return catch.Wallace top scored with 61 from 59 balls, putting on 44 with Wagg and 62 with Morgan who surely deserves promotion in the batting order from No. 9. He shared a stand of 33 for the last wicket with Michael Hogan that enabled Glamorgan to gain two batting points.The green pitch was sn put into perspective by Nash and Joyce, who were sn into their stride, striking nine boundaries from the opening 12 overs, as Glamorgans opening bowlers Craig Meschede and Timm Van Der Gugten failed to make any impact.Nash reached his fifty from 89 balls, but Joyce nibbled at one from Meschede three overs before the close, having completed his thousand runs for the season.Nathan MacKinnon Avalanche Jersey . Nine days before the opening ceremony, organizing committee chief Dmitry Chernyshenko said Wednesday that Sochi is "fully ready" and will deliver safe, friendly and well-run games that defy the grim reports that have overshadowed preparations. Lanny McDonald Avalanche Jersey . At a news conference Tuesday where it was thought that the fiery Schallibaum may be shown the dr after a dismal finish to the Major League Soccer season, team president Joey Saputo said no decision has been made on whether the Swiss Volcano will be back in 2014. http://www.hockeyavalanche.com/authentic-lanny-mcdonald-avalanche-jersey/ . Howard Ganz, an MLB lawyer, said in a letter to U.S. District Judge Edgardo Ramos that Rodriguezs claims do not come "remotely close" to what is needed to overturn an arbitration decision in federal court. Mikko Rantanen Avalanche Jersey . The team also announced Tuesday that the Braves will wear a commemorative patch on the right sleeve during the season. The patch, shaped like home plate, carries the number 715, Aarons autograph and a "40th Anniversary" banner. Rob Ramage Avalanche Jersey . Robredo, ranked No. 16, bounced back from an upset loss to Leonardo Mayer in the second round of the Royal Guard Open in Chile last week to down Carreno Busta in 1 hour, 25 minutes. On a day filled mostly with qualifying matches, fifth-seeded Marcel Granollers of Spain also entered the second with a 7-5, 3-6, 6-2 win over Aljaz Bedene of Slovenia, while Guido Pella of Argentina defeated Guillermo Garcia-Lopez of Spain 7-6 (6), 6-4 to advance.A month before Justin Crawford filled two of the most important shoes left open after last season at West Virginia, he was working nights at Taco Bell.Sound appetizing?Crawford, in fact, harbored no affinity for cheesy gorditas. He needed to support his family, a quest that predates his two years at Northwest Mississippi Community College and tk a sharp turn in January.In the week after West Virginia won the Cactus Bowl, Big 12 rushing leader Wendell Smallwd declared for the NFL draft, a major loss for the Mountaineers.WVU planned to sign a pair of backs in its 2016 class, and veteran Rushel Shell was set to return as the workhorse. But offensive crdinator Joe Wickline and running backs coach Jajuan Seider knew they needed something more at the position to operate offensively as envisioned.Right away, film surfaced of Crawford. He had committed to Louisville out of high schl in Columbus, Georgia, and was considering Missouri and South Carolina after he rushed for 1,610 yards and 16 touchdowns as a junior college sophomore.But widespread recruiting attention had evaded the NJCAA offensive player of the year.The first thing I said was, How in the heck is this kid still available? Seider said.He was Smallwd all over again, thought Seider. If Crawford checked out OK, the coach vowed to recruit Crawford with maximum intensity in the four weeks that remained before signing day.Turns out, checking on Crawford found a motivated prospect who didnt care about labels and wanted to work for all that he received.He doesnt have his hand out, West Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen said, which is refreshing.As a first-year player, Holgorsen has not allowed Crawford to speak to the media. So far, hes play is speaking loudly enough. Through three games, Crawford leads West Virginia in rushing with 227 yards while splitting time with Shell. The newcomer has also caught eight passes, most among WVU running backs. He adds a play-making element to an underrated group of skill players as unbeaten West Virginia opens Big 12 play Saturday at home against Kansas State (30 p.m. ET, ESPNU).Holgorsen said he, t, harbored initial concerns about Crawford, who attempted to divide his time between family, academics and ftball in a way that most players fail to understand.You always worry about kids like that, the sixth-year WVU coach said, if theyre going to use [the family] as an excuse to not do what theyre supposed to do -- or if theyre going to use it as motivation to make something of themselves.Crawford largely erased any concerns in the summer, weeks after he arrived on campus in Morgantown. He formed an immediate bond with Shell, who is the father of three children, and went to work at cementing his spot as a leader among the Mountaineers.Hes not afraid to speak his mind, said Seider, the running backs coach. He will say some things that make you wonder. He comes off a little different, but hes exactly what every team needs. He has a voice on the team. As sn as he stepped onn the field in the summer, he brought it.dddddddddddd.And then, Crawford really went to work.In July, he got a job at a Taco Bell near the WVU campus.The coaches in Morgantown learned of Crawfords situation and brought him in for a long talk.Dude, you cant do this when the season starts, Holgorsen said he told Crawford.Crawford said he understd but told the coaches that practice didnt begin for another two weeks. He wanted to keep working -- and he did, until about Aug. 1, supporting his wife and two boys.Thats a kid I want, Seider said, because hes highly motivated. He didnt want to have to do it, but he was being Justin. He was just being a man; thats what I call it. He was being a man and taking care of responsibilities.And this was nothing new.While playing junior college ball in Senatobia, Mississippi, Crawford held several jobs in fast fd and elsewhere, according to Northwest Mississippi CC coach Benjy Parker, who was defensive crdinator at the schl during Crawfords juco career.His team often played Thursday games, so Crawford arranged his work schedule for Friday and Saturday while teammates got their rest.If he had a free minute, he wanted to go work for his money, Parker said. When I saw that, it said a whole lot to me about his character.Justin and Chakeya were married before Crawfords sophomore year in Mississippi.Crawford is one of seven siblings. After his father died, Crawford attended two years of high schl in Gainesville, Florida, then moved to Georgia.When his team won the Mississippi Bowl in December and Crawford accumulated 190 yards and scored twice in his final junior college game, he broke down in tears, wishing that his father could have seen him play at this level.A lot of people saw him running the ball 25 times on Thursday nights, said Jake Long, the Northwest Mississippi athletic academic advisor who has remained close to Crawford. They didnt know the whole story.The whole story now includes a chapter about Crawfords early success at West Virginia.In the Mountaineers 26-11 victory over Missouri to open the season, Crawford rushed 21 times for 101 yards and caught five passes. More notably, Seider said, Crawford scored better than a 95 on the Mountaineers grading scale.He had no missed assignments, Seider said. I lked at that and said it cant be right. But it was.Teammates notice that Crawford has backed up his talk.Its kind of do or die for him, West Virginia quarterback Skyler Howard said. He wants to support his family and wants to put fd on the table, whether thats with a degree or going to the NFL.His wife secured work in Morgantown. Additionally, because of his unique circumstances, Crawford may be eligible to receive extra assistance from West Virginia through his cost-of-attendance stipend.And he continues to work to support his family -- solely, though, as a student and through ftball.
