is incredibly itchy at the moment - he has raised it three

SPARTANBURG, S.C. -- The Carolina Panthers made history on Thursday by holding a joint practice with a high school football team.The Spartanburg High School Vikings went through warmups and had a chance to interact with Carolinas coaches and players at Wofford College before breaking off and doing their own work on an adjacent field.Panthers director of community relations Riley Fields said it is the first time an NFL team has practiced alongside a high school team.Fields said the organization wanted to celebrate the NFLs Play 60 initiative by doing something special and unique. He said the Panthers needed to clear everything with the NFL, the NCAA and state high school officials before the project initiative was granted.Everyone said, `Wow this is a great idea, Fields said. ... We felt it was a special day for our players and for the Spartanburg High School football players.Panthers coach Ron Rivera said when Fields initially approached him about the idea he was against it. But the NFL Coach of the Year soon changed his mind once he realized it could be a huge benefit to the high school athletes.To me its about the love of the game and bringing it back to the community, Rivera said.Spartanburg High School coach Chris Miller said he thought it was a joke at first when his office received a call about practicing with the Panthers.It is just an unbelievable opportunity for us, Miller said.Miller said watching an NFL team run through similar drills to what they run in practice was an important lesson for his players.Were constantly talking about it and they are doing it over and over again. Now they see guys who have paid the price and look where it has gotten them, Miller said.Rivera said the experience was also fun for his players.When you talked to some of our guys they had a chance to reminisce about the good old days, Rivera said. I was standing over there watching (the Vikings) earlier and it took me back to playing at Seaside High School. It was kind of neat.Linebacker Thomas Davis, the elder statesman of the Panthers, said it was an opportunity he would have loved to have had as a teenager growing up playing football in Shellman, Georgia.It will go a long way in these kids lives knowing they had an opportunity to practice with Panthers, Davis said. I impressed upon the kids the importance of coming out here and working hard and being able to do your job and listen to your coach.Davis, who regularly exchanges trash talk with Cam Newton during practice, also had a little fun with the high school players.He even convinced one of them to talk some trash to Newton.I was kind of feeding him stuff to say to Cam, Davis said with a laugh. He delivered it pretty well.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Mitch Moreland Jersey .

Lucic scored on a power play at 15:46 of the third period, when he tipped a shot over Stars goalie Kari Lehtonen for a 3-1 lead. As a former offspinner, Kumar Dharmasena would have enjoyed bowling on the Chittagong pitch. But it was a tougher job umpiring. With the ball spinning and spitting, it was a demanding match for the on-field officials and Dharmasenas decisions were constantly challenged. In total 16 of his calls - out and not out - were reviewed with eight overturned, which set an unwanted record of the most reversed decisions for an umpire in a single Test.26.5 Shakib Al Hasan to Ali, no run, another big appeal, this time the finger goes up! Moeen has been dicing with danger, hit on the pads again and Kumar Dharmasena likes it - but England review. Shakib was bowling from over the wicket, the ball again spinning in to the southpaw, as with the review off Taijul... Moeen this time playing the sweep and struck on the front pad. Dont think there was bat/glove on this... Or is that a murmur on Ultra Edge? Yes, it would appear so: S Ravi is convinced, anyway. A scrape of bat tape on it and the decision is overturned!28.2 Shakib Al Hasan to Ali, no run, thats much better! Tossed up, pins Moeen on the front pad, and up goes the finger! Moeen has reviewed, again, but this looks adjacent ... the DRS parameters have been tweaked in favour of bowlers, so if this is clipping, it is out ... the tension is unbearable ...but it is missing! Spinning too much ... golly28.4 Shakib Al Hasan to Ali, no run, another sweep, another appeal, another review! Well this is extraordinary. Umpire Dharmasenas finger is incredibly itchy at the moment - he has raised it three times in six balls! - but this one looked as though it was outside the line. Theres no bat involved ... and indeed, it is outside the line!102.1 Taijul Islam to Broad, no run, huge appeal as Broad is bashed on the pads, sharp spin but was Broad outside the line? He reviews.... Dharmasena has had another shocker, Im afraid. That was missing leg stump! 68.4 Shakib Al Hasan to Rashid, OUT, gentle lbw appeal here, Rashid defending with bat next to pad... Mushfiq asks his bowler if it was pad first and then, with a grin on his face, asks for the review. Itll be close if it was pad then bat.dddddddddddd.. Lots of rocking and rolling on the replay, looks like it did kiss the front leg before thudding into the bat, so we go to Hawk-Eye, impact in line and hitting middle stump! Another decision is overturned, Shakib has a five-for and England are eight down42.6 Ali to Tamim Iqbal, no run, turn and bounce, taken by Root diving to his right at slip, Dharmasena gives it! Tamim, however, reviews straight away - because why not? - and the initial replay suggests it might have come off his upper arm. It was an excellent low catch as the ball diverted past Bairstow, but went quite slowly, as if off something softer (and it turns out fleshier) than the bat. Yep, S Ravi concludes there was no bat or glove involved, checks the lbw just to be sure and then overturns yet another on-field decision! Whod be an umpire, eh?27.5 Batty to Mominul Haque, OUT, down on one knee to sweep, and England review! Batty is adamant that theres something in this ... is it lbw, or an under-edge to bat-pad? Doesnt seem to be bat involved ... the bat hits the ground, but not the ball. Over to HawkEye then, did it pitch inside the line of leg stump? It hit! A huge roar from England as they watch the replay on the big screen, and England have their third wicket!81.1 Stokes to Taijul Islam, OUT, on the stumps, flicks the pad playing across the line, loops past the diving Bairstow... Stokes wanted the lbw and England have reviewed (they were topped up at 80 overs remember). Looked a bit speculative to me but here we go... Past the inside edge, struck in line, Hawk-Eye has it hitting leg stump! England are ecstatic, I thought they had gambled but Stokes just had a feeling it was adjacent and Taijul has to go! In this match of reviews, another dramatic reversal!It is worth noting that the last of those overturns, Taijul on the final morning, was only changed to out because of the new DRS protocols which effectively widened the stumps.
