Jackson hits another hole-in-one
COLUMBIANA — There is no off season for Columbiana junior Maddie Jackson.
Jackson hit a hole-in-one Wednesday at Valley Golf Club.
She used a sand wedge to ace the 125-yard second hole. It was her second ace on that hole.
Jackson is a member of the Columbiana High School girls golf team and the girls cross country team. She ran at the regional cross country meet in Boardman on Saturday.
The ace was witnessed by her golf partner and father, Jeff Jackson.
Cavaliers’ Allen breaks finger
CLEVELAND (AP) — Cavaliers center Jarrett Allen is listed as questionable for Friday’s NBA Cup game against Toronto after breaking the ring finger on his left hand.
Allen sustained the injury during Wednesday’s 125-105 loss to the Boston Celtics, which snapped Cleveland’s three-game winning streak.
An X-ray on Thursday revealed a non-displaced fracture, meaning the broken bone pieces remain in their original position and are not out of alignment. The Cavaliers said Allen will undergo a series of treatment and evaluation leading into their next game.
Allen is averaging 14 points and seven rebounds in Cleveland’s first five games.
The Cavaliers are already without starting point guard Darius Garland (toe) and forward Max Strus (foot) as they continue to rehab from offseason surgery.
Jackson throws four TD passes in return
MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — Lamar Jackson threw for 204 yards and four touchdowns, showing little rust in his return from a right hamstring strain, and the Baltimore Ravens routed the Miami Dolphins 28-6 on Thursday night.
Jackson completed 18 of 23 passes in his first start since Week 4 against Kansas City, and the Ravens (3-5) won their second straight as they hope to make a run in the wide-open AFC North.
Tight end Mark Andrews made two touchdown catches. Jackson’s other TD passes went to tight end Charlie Kolar and receiver Rashod Bateman.
Derrick Henry rushed 119 yards on 19 carries. Jackson ran the ball five times for 14 yards.
The two-time MVP connected on his first nine passes of the second half before he finally missed DeAndre Hopkins on a deep throw in the final minute of the third. The game was out of reach by then, and Jackson had already thrown his fourth TD — a 9-yard toss to Bateman that put Baltimore up 28-6.
Tua Tagovailoa, who completed 25 of 40 passes for 261 yards with an interception, led the Dolphins 80 yards down the field early in the fourth, a promising drive that included two fourth-down conversions. But receiver Malik Washington fumbled at the 10, and Dolphins fans began to exit Hard Rock Stadium en masse with more than 10 minutes remaining.
De’Von Achane had 14 carries for 67 yards. Jaylen Waddle caught six passes for 82 yards.
The Dolphins (2-7) outgained the Ravens 226 yards to 109 and held them to 1 of 6 on third down in the first half, but Miami trailed 14-6 because of a slew of mistakes.
On Miami’s second drive, rookie Tahj Washington fumbled at the Dolphins 4, and Andrews caught a 2-yard TD from Jackson on fourth down on the Ravens’ ensuing possession.
Achane led the Dolphins back down the field with runs of 19 and 22 yards, but a false start by offensive lineman Larry Borom on fourth-and-1 forced Miami to kick a field goal, which Riley Patterson missed from 35 yards out.
The Ravens’ offense answered again.
