VANCOUVER - All Bo Levi Mitchell does is win.He led Katy High School to a Texas state title in 2007, then four years later helped Eastern Washington capture the NCAA Division I FCS national crown. On Sunday night, Mitchell added the Grey Cup to his impressive football resume.Mitchell completed 25 of 34 passes for 334 yards as the Calgary Stampeders earned a nail-biting 20-16 win over the Hamilton Tiger-Cats at B.C. Place Stadium. The 24-year-old pivot was named the MVP in his first career Grey Cup start.Hamiltons Andy Fantuz was the top Canadian with six catches for 81 yards as the Ticats dropped their second straight Grey Cup game. The team lost 45-23 in Regina last year to the Saskatchewan Roughriders and last won the CFL title in 1999.At one point, Mitchell threw 10 straight completions, tying him for the third-longest streak in Grey Cup history before a boisterous B.C. Place Stadium gathering of 52,056 — 1,423 short of a sellout. Being named the MVP after leading a team to a pro football championship is something Mitchell dreamt about growing up.Not necessarily the Grey Cup (MVP) because I didnt know about it, Mitchell said. But once I knew about it this is what I was going to go after.Being able to quarterback this team and look back that we were one of the best teams in the history of the CFL is amazing.Fantuz gave Mitchell kudos after the game.He had a hell of a game, the Chatham, Ont., native said. He was elusive and slippery and hard to bring down.Youve got to give him credit for his poise and demeanour. They were the class of the league, the most consistent throughout the year. We still feel like our team is a championship team but this is their year.But the West Division champions needed two late defensive stands and some luck to secure their first Grey Cup title since 2008.A Delvin Breaux interception of Mitchell put Hamilton at the Calgary 50-yard line. Quarterback Zach Collaros marched the Ticats to the three-yard line before the Stampeders defence stiffened, resulting in Justin Medlocks 17-yard field goal at 9:25 of the fourth quarter to pull to within 20-13.Hamilton regained possession at its 41-yard line with under four minutes remaining and marched to the Calgary 23. Cory Maces sack stalled the drive and set up Medlocks 37-yard field goal to cut the Stampeders lead to 20-16 with just over two minutes remaining.Brandon Banks brought Ticats supporters to their feet with 35 seconds left when he returned a Rene Paredes punt 90 yards for a TD, but it was nullified by an illegal block penalty. Instead of having the lead, Hamilton took over at its 12-yard line.After the game, Banks stormed out of Hamiltons locker-room before the media was allowed in. When a reporter tried to speak to him, Banks kept walking but turned around to say I aint talking to nobody.But Mitchell was more than willing to praise Calgarys defence for twice holding Hamilton to late field goals when the Ticats seemed poised to take the lead.That defence is the best in the league and Ill tell you why, Mitchell said. No matter what those guys are so knowledgeable and know so much about this game.They might give up plays, they might give up yards but at the end of the day were going to win because of that defence.Its been a rapid rise for Mitchell, who joined the Stampeders in 2012 as their No. 3 quarterback behind Drew Tate and veteran Kevin Glenn. After Glenn left the Stamps in December, Mitchell secured the starters job in training camp and won 13 of 15 starts in guiding Calgary to a CFL-best 15-3 record.Mitchell threw for over 3,300 yards and completed 63.3 per cent of his passes with 22 TDs — six behind league leader Ricky Ray of the Toronto Argonauts. He also threw just eight interceptions, the fewest among CFL starters. At just 24, Mitchell appears to be Calgarys starter for years to come.Running back Jon Cornish, who earned a third straight rushing title this year with 1,082 yards in nine games, wasnt a factor Sunday with just 25 yards on nine carries. But he was impressed by his young quarterbacks calm demeanour in the biggest contest of the year.Bo Levi has poise like Ive never seen a person his age have, Cornish said. He just sat in there and did exactly what we needed.We didnt get many points in the second half, they adjusted their defence around a little. But we finished and got the win.Hufnagel also praised Mitchell.He played well, he played lights out, Hufnagel said. He made the one mistake but we didnt move the ball enough in the fourth quarter and that wasnt the quarterbacks fault.Calgary earned its third straight win this season over Hamilton, which after a 1-6 start to the season rallied to a 9-9 mark to finish atop the East Division.Paredes had to handle punting duties in the second half after incumbent Rob Maver suffered an abdominal injury when hammered on a Hamilton punt return. The six-foot, 201-pound Maver was hit from the blindside by Justin Hickman, a six-foot-two, 265-pound defensive lineman, and remained on the field for some time before eventually walking off on his own.Maver celebrated with his teammates on the field after the game but was moving gingerly. He wasnt overly impressed with Hickmans hit but praised Paredes, who averaged over 42 yards on his three punts.It was Hickman? he asked. If hes got to hit a punter like to make a block . . .But Rene was huge coming in.Calgary also lost receiver Maurice Price to a second-half ankle injury.Hamilton was looking for history to repeat itself as in 1999 it beat Calgary 32-21 at B.C. Place. But the loss tarnished a solid showing by Colloras, who finished 25-of-33 passing for 342 yards and a 45-yard TD to Banks.Backup quarterback Drew Tate had two TDs for Calgary. Paredes added the converts and two field goals.Medlock booted a convert and two field goals.A blocked field goal by Calgarys Demonte Bolden loomed large as Calgary took a 17-7 halftime lead. The burly defensive lineman, in his first game since breaking his leg in September, batted down Medlocks 26-yard try with the Stampeders leading 14-0.Mitchell countered by marching Calgary 87 yards on eight plays, setting up Paredes 11-yard field goal at 12:43. But Collaros found a streaking Banks at 13:39 to make it a 10-point game.It was a dreadful opening quarter for Hamilton, which posted -12 yards rushing and just four net yards. Calgary had 120 net yards, thanks to Mitchells 117 passing yards.Members of the Stampeders receive $16,000 for the win while the Ticats earn $8,000 apiece.Juwan Simpson worried he may be handing over some of that cash after the Grey Cup broke while he was hoisting it over his head in celebration.I think Im the one that did it, said Simpson. I dont know. I grabbed it and was excited, and all of a sudden, it got a little (loose.) Some glue and some duct tape and itll be good.But I got me a Grey Cup cheque, he said. In a worst-case scenario, I can pay for it. Adidas NMD R1 Rabatt . The Pope greeted Klose at his general audience Wednesday and the pair had a long chat. Klose is German like the pope, although he was born in Poland. In Sundays derby, Lazio took the lead in the seventh minute after Maarten Stekelenburg brought down Klose, resulting in the Roma goalkeeper being sent off and a penalty that Hernanes converted. Adidas Deerupt Runner Rea . A receiver doesnt make the catch on a passing play and instantly motions to the ref – and everybody else – for a pass interference flag. http://www.nmdsverige.com/falcon-adidas-skor.html. Lack made 20 saves for his third shutout of the season as the Canucks blanked the St. Louis Blues 1-0 in the first post-Olympic game for both teams night. Adidas Stan Smith Dam Rea . A Swiss Federal Tribunal ruling published Friday said that FIFAs disputes panel and the Court of Arbitration for Sport correctly imposed the sanction for Nantes enticing Guinea forward Ismael Bangoura to break his contract with Dubai club Al Nasr in January 2012. Adidas Falcon Sverige . Harrison Barnes had 15 points and Reggie Bullock scored 11 for the Tar Heels (17-3, 4-1 ACC), who took the court for the first time without starter Dexter Strickland. The junior guard tore his right ACL last Thursday at Virginia Tech and will miss the rest of the season.The Vancouver Canucks, who struggled into the Olympic break, will try to restart their season on a positive note as they host The St. Louis Blues The Canucks may have needed the break more than any team as they went into the hiatus having lost seven in a row, including a winless five-game road trip to close out the pre-Olympic schedule. Vancouver has lost seven in a row in regulation for the first time since Dec. 26-Jan. 6 during the 1998-99 campaign and is on its longest skid of any kind since going 0-5-3 from Jan. 9-31, 2009. The Canucks have 63 points on the season, one back of Phoenix and Dallas for the second wild card spot in the Western Conference. The break did allow Henrik Sedin some additional time to heal from a rib injury that has held him to just two games since Jan. 18 and caused him to sit out the Olympics. "Henrik is landing this morning," head coach John Tortorella told reporters on Wednesday morning. "We hope hell play tonight." However, forward Ryan Kesler wont play tonight due to a hand injury suffered while blocking a shot for Team USA on Feb. 15. He did not miss time during the Olympics, but had an MRI on Monday and is day-to-day. Vancouver recalled center Kellan Lain from the American Hockey League on Monday. Eddie Lack will get the start in goal. Regardless, the Canucks will look to get on track while playing their next three as the home team. That includes March 2 in the Heritage Classic versus Ottawa to be played at BC Place, which features a retractable roof. The Canucks have won two prior meetings with the Blues this season and are 5-0-2 in the last seven encounters overall. Vancouver also is 3-0-1 in its past four versus St. Louis at home. T.J. Oshie had one of the more memorable experiences during the Winter Olympics, even if the American was unable to get his country a medal. Oshie was part of a Team USA squad that failed to medal in Sochi, though the 27-year-old was briefly the talk of the Olympics after he scored four times during an eight-round shootout to help lift the U.ddddddddddddS. to a win over Russia during group play. The forward became a media sensation and U.S. hero for his clutch performance, though he fizzled out like the rest of Team USA, which failed to beat Canada in the semifinals before falling in defeat to Finland in the bronze medal game. "It was pretty crazy after that shootout. Its all a little bitter now that we get back and have nothing to show for it, but it was a pretty cool couple of days after that seeing some of my family on some major TV shows and stuff like that," said Oshie. The Blues do return a number of players who collected medals in Sochi, including gold medal-winning defensemen Alex Pietrangelo and Jay Bouwmeester of Team Canada as well as forwards Alexander Steen and Patrik Berglund, who picked up silver with Sweden. Steen continued his solid campaign that has seen him score a career-high 28 goals through just 46 games on the season. St. Louis comes out of the break having gone 3-0-1 in its previous four while winning seven of its last 10. The Blues are even with the idle Chicago Blackhawks for the top spot in the Central standings with 84 points, three behind the Anaheim Ducks for the most in the NHL. The Blues play their next three on the road looking to maintain that success, something Oshie believes his club can do. "I think so. Weve got some guys coming off some pretty big highs, getting a gold and silver medal, and weve got some other guys like myself and (forward David) Backes that are fired up we didnt get anything," Oshie said. "I feel like after big losses like that, it inspires you to work harder. Its always easy coming back to this group of guys." ' ' '
