Rhode Island Rams Research Paper
Rhode Island Rams (17-15, 9-9, A-10):
Last season Rhode Island was projected to challenge the Dayton Flyers for the A-10 title but E.C. Matthews suffered a season ending injury just 10 minutes into the opener. The Rams lost their best player and started the butterfly effect on a season plagued with injuries. With Matthews healthy again and four of its top scorers back, Rhode Island is determined to make some noise.
Backcourt:
The 6-foot-5, 295-pound guard will be the Rams clutch player. Two seasons ago, he averaged 16.9 points and 4.6 rebounds per game. Matthews can dish off the ball and make plays. He can also get it done defensively. As a sophomore, he was one of 16 finalists for the Jerry West Award. Jarvis Garrett returns for his junior …show more content…
As a freshman, he led the A-10 in blocks. He enters his senior season ranked second among all active Division I players in career blacks with 247. The 6-foot-7, 230-pound forward is the reigning A-10 defensive player of the year. Kuran Iverson is one of the league's top rebounders. He grabbed 10 or more boards nine times as a junior. Last season he averaged 7.1 rebounds per game. The 6-foot-9, 215-pound senior is also an offensive threat. Iverson averaged 9.8 points per game. Andre Berry is entering his second season with the Rams. The 6-foot-8, 285-pound junior provides depth off the bench. He averaged 3.4 points and 2.6 rebounds per game last year but has the potential for a big game. Nicola Akele is another forward that has a chance to make an impact this season. He is a good shooter. Last season he averaged 2.8 points per game. Rhode Island can expect an immediate impact from freshman Mike Layssard. The 6-foot-9, 280-pound forward was a two-time all-state selection in Louisiana. He has the size and the skill to be a force down low. He averaged 24.6 points, 2.6 blocked shots per game, as a senior for Northwood H.S. Cyril Langevine is a 6-foot-7 three-star recruit. He was one of the top power forwards in America. He averaged 10.0 points and 7.0 rebounds and 2.0 blocked shots for The Patrick School as a senior in New Jersey.

    Hockey Faceoff Book Report

    Like O’Regan, UMass Lowell forward C.J. Smith has been an emotional leader this year for the River Hawks. You’ll find his name on the scoresheet just as often, too, as Smith leads the team in points with 14 goals and 19 assists. He plays a chippy game, and isn’t afraid to crash the net or dig in the corners to pay the price necessary to make a play. His calling card is an effective forechecking game, one based on aggression and a structured system under Head Coach Norm Bazin. Smith didn’t register a point in the regular season against Boston University, but when he scores a goal this year, UMass Lowell is…

    Whenever the Eagles do release Mathews, they will be without a starting, workhorse running back. Luckily for them, this year's draft class is loaded with running backs and the Eagles can wait until the later rounds to grab one.

    Chris Andersen Research Paper

    He was instantly liked because of his easy going manner. He played basketball for the Iola Bulldogs. They were a Class 2A school during his last two years there. "He'd keep practices real light," said Iola's basketball coach then, Rob Stewart. "I'd get on him, and he'd give me the goofy smile." As a junior Chris averaged a triple double. This did not get him much attention. His coach mailed out copies of his box score after his first game of his senior year. He received a lot of replies. The field of interested colleges was greatly reduced because of his grades. Because of this Chris chose to go to Blinn College where he played for Coach Joe Curl. Coach Curl left and things did not go well with the new coach. Chris ended up quitting basketball before…

    Bald Eagle Research Paper

    The bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus), our national bird, is the only eagle unique to North America. The bald eagle's scientific name signifies a sea (halo) eagle (aeetos) with a white (leukos) head. At one time, the word "bald" meant "white," not hairless. Bald eagles are found over most of North America, from Alaska and Canada to northern Mexico. About half of the world's 70,000 bald eagles live in Alaska. Combined with British Columbia's population of about 20,000, the northwest coast of North America is by far their greatest stronghold for bald eagles. They flourish here in part because of the salmon. Dead…

    Today the trophy for the most feared defender in the NBA goes to PJ Tucker of the Toronto Raptors. He’s one of the best defensive players in the perimeter or in the post. His basketball journey started at Texas and has taken him all over the world. He had a stint in the NBA during the 2006-2207 season before playing the next five seasons overseas, in Israel, the Ukraine, Germany, Italy, and Greece. I believe his stints overseas are what fueled his ruthless aggressive defense.…
