Matthew Stafford Lions Jersey . Sarah Reid
and Mellisa Hollingsworth, along with Eric Neilson and John Fairbairn were named
to the team, while a third racer for both men and ladies could be named
depending on the remaining results on the intercontinental circuit. Montgomery
- from Russell, Man. - has already said that this year may be his last in
skeleton, despite the fact that he would have to win his final four races next
month to earn the third mens spot. Montgomery won gold in the mens skeleton
event in Vancouver in 2010 and became an instant celebrity with his colourful
personality.
Matthew Stafford Youth Jersey . LOUIS --
David Ross never expected to be on a World Series podium.
Golden Tate Womens Jersey . The 18-year-old
Januzaj has made his breakthrough at United this season, including scoring twice
in a 2-1 win over Sunderland before the recent international break. His
performances have sparked a debate about where his international future
lies.When I was young, they kept feeding me fairy tales. You may have a similar
story. But maybe... Just maybe... This is one time when make believe should make
you believe. How long does Cinderella stay at the dance? Sometimes, the carriage
doesnt turn into a pumpkin. Right now, Whitby, Ontarios DyShawn Pierre, small
forward for the No. 11 seed Dayton Flyers of the Atlantic-10 Conference, is
living the fairy tale during March Madness. After defeating in-state rival The
Ohio State University Buckeyes, then to go on to edge a team who spent much of
the regular season as the No. 1 team in the country in the Syracuse Orange, led
by Brampton, Ontarios Tyler Ennis, Pierre and his mates kept the dream alive by
slaying another dragon in the Stanford Cardinal, a solid team led by two other
Canadians, Dwight Powell and Stefan Nastic. DyShawn and his teammates have
pushed forward to take the Flyers back to a place they havent been in 30 years,
The Elite Eight. Standing in the path to the yellow brick road of the Final Four
is an extremely tough, senior-laden, defensive-minded University of Florida
Gators squad. With a coach in Archie Miller, who implicitly trusts every player
on the Dayton Flyer roster, from the first man to the 12th, DyShawn Pierre is
set to lead his team further on their quest for the ultimate brass ring: The
NCAA Mens Basketball Championship. I sat down with DyShawn Pierre to find out if
the soft-spoken sophomore is really a lion disguised as a lamb. Who is DyShawn
Pierre? Oooh! I never really thought about that before, but... in terms of
basketball, Id say Im a total team guy. Outside of that, Im just a guy whos
truly concerned about others... God, family, friends... those things are
important to me. In three words, how would your teammates and friends describe
you? Ummm... Passionate. Aggressive. Can I get back to you on the third one? In
three words, would your coaches describe you in the same way? I hope they see me
as a player who can help make the game better for me and my teammates, who just
plays the game hard and competes. But Id say... Ummm... Coachable. Humble.
Quiet. How heavy is the Dayton Flyers bandwagon now that you guys slayed a
couple huge dragons in The Ohio State University and Syracuse? (Laughs) I dont
know about that. We do know we have a lot of people behind us, but what these
guys in the locker room... what we do together with the help of the coaches and
of course the fans is a blessing. We just want to take it as far as we can.
Describe your mindset once you knew your team would be facing OSU. It was very
exciting. Playing in March Madness is an honour. Playing with a guy who
transferred from Ohio State gave it some other elements, but wee just see it as
another opportunity to prove ourselves.
Kerry Hyder Lions Jersey. Was there a lot of
personal, in-state rivalry talk and emotion involved? No, it wasnt really
personal. I mean, we have Jordan Sibert, who transferred from OSU and guys from
Ohio, but all we wanted to do is compete and get the win, no matter who was in
front of us. Now that youve beaten Stanford, how do you think you guys match up
against Florida? Honestly, I havent been watching too much, really. Floridas
very good. They were No. 1 in the country...the No. 1 seed in the entire
tournament. Its going to be a tough matchup. But were here for a reason, too.
Whats the best thing about this March Madness experience for you? Anything can
happen. People dont believe in the Dayton Flyers. We do. We stick together. We
believe. With so many Canadians affecting the outcomes of games in a major way
in March Madness, what do you think this means for the future of the Canadian
National Team? Our national team has a very bright future. Steve Nash, Jay
Triano and Rowan Barrett have done a great job in developing the program. The
coaching is excellent. I would love to play if I were invited to compete. With
so many other great young players in the program, Id love to go back to compete
and contribute. Weve seen players have big March Madness performances in the
past and turn that into a high NBA draft status. Has this been something youve
thought about seriously at all? Not really. I mean, its a dream. But right now,
Im very focused on what were trying to achieve here at Dayton. Its a special
group of guys and I love how together we are and what I think we can accomplish.
Youre climbing up the list of most famous people from Whitby, Ontario. Theres
former two-time Stanley Cup champ and Olympic Gold Medalist NHLer Adam Foote,
the late WWE wrestler Test (Andrew Martin), the rapper/musician k-os... and you!
Do you climb that list with every March Madness win? (Laughs) I guess so. I
didnt even know there was a list like that. Whatever happens, my team and I have
gotten a lot of support from fans, friends and family. While I cant respond to
each and every one personally, I am grateful... very thankful to everyone. This
whole experience has been awesome. I wont forget it. If DyShawn Pierre had to
walk away from basketball forever after Dayton wins the National Championship,
what would he do with the rest of his life? What? NOOO! I really couldnt see my
life without basketball. I really love the game. Somehow, someway, I would want
to be a part of something basketball-related. More than anything, though, Id
just like to enjoy life. Its been a humbling experience so far. I cant wait to
see what the future holds.
