HAMILTON - The McMaster Marauder defence almost did it all in the 107th Yates Cup final— including scoring their teams only touchdown. Billy McKinney Jersey .They snagged five interceptions, held the Guelph Gryphons offence to just 264 yards and stalled a last-minute drive as McMaster won the Ontario University Athletics football championship 20-15 in front of 4,554 at Ron Joyce Stadium on Saturday.I think our D played their best football when we needed it most, said McMaster head coach Stef Ptaszek. I think their young quarterback (Guelphs freshman backup James Roberts) played a great game but he was playing against I think the best defence in the conference. You win championships with defence and thats certainly true today.Third-ranked McMaster will host the Atlantic champion sixth-ranked Mount Allison Mounties next Saturday in the national semifinal Mitchell Bowl. McMaster has now won the Yates Cup three of the past four years and were Vanier Cup champions in 2011.McMaster defensive lineman Mike Kashak scored the Marauders only touchdown, intercepting a screen pass in the second quarter and running it 30 yards into the endzone.I saw the screen develop, said the third-year player who was hoping to just interrupt the play. He threw the ball and I was there to make the play.Once the 245-pounder caught the ball there was only one thought on his mind.Dont drop it! he said.The Gryphons hadnt lost this season since falling in overtime 34-27 to McMaster in the first game of the regular season. This time they pulled to within a field goal early in the fourth, but McMaster held on.Guelph starting quarterback Jazz Lindsey, who left last weeks OUA semi against Western early after getting banged up, completed one of six pass attempts for 13 yards, zero TDs and three interceptions before being pulled midway through the second quarter and replaced by Roberts. One of Lindseys interceptions had come in the endzone with Guelph threatening on the McMaster seven-yard line.Roberts completed 17 of 29 pass attempts for 183 yards, zero touchdowns and two interceptions.I think we just couldnt finish our plays, or any execution, he said. We just didnt finish enough and thats why we lost.The Gryphons had a chance to win it on their last possession, down 20-15 and the ball on their own 54 with 1:27 left in the game. They drove to the McMaster 35 before stalling with 27 seconds left in the game and McMaster ran out the clock.I thought we had enough time, Roberts said. We just didnt produce, again. We didnt execute the way we usually do.Running back Robert Farquharson scored Guelphs only touchdown on a 41-yard run in the first quarter.McMaster kicker Tyler Crapigna was good on all three field-goal attempts, hitting from 32, 34 and 39 yards. Guelph kicker Daniel Ferraro went one-for-two, making a 43-yarder two minutes into the fourth to pull within a field goal— but missing a 44-yarder soon after that would have tied the game.McMaster quarterback Marshall Ferguson completed 24 of 34 pass attempts for 191 yards, zero TDs and three interceptions.He gave all the credit to his defence for the win.We didnt do anything on offence to help our D for the ninth time out of 10 weeks, he said. We had our chances to blow the top off I think, but we didnt really take them, so we gutted it out like we have all year.McMasters Joey Cupido had two interceptions, Kashak had the one pick-six, and Allan Dicks added another two for the Marauders. Guelphs Michael Carney, Nicholas Parisotto and Colin Mandich each picked off Ferguson.The Mauraders began the second half up 12-9.They made it 14-9 midway through the third after Ferraro conceded his second safety of the game— coming after Roberts was sacked on the Guelph three-yard line. Crapigna soon made it 17-9 with a 34-yard field goal, but conceded a safety to end the quarter to make it 17-11 McMaster heading into the fourth.Ferraros 43-yard field goal made pulled Guelph to 17-14 with 13 minutes left in the game.On the very next play Mandich intercepted Ferguson and ran it back to the McMaster 37, which set up a 44-yard field goal attempt for Ferraros that would have tied the game with about 10 minutes left— but he went wide left.Crapignas 39-yarder made it 20-14 with 7:55 left.

Blake Griffin had 27 points and eight rebounds, Chris Paul added 19 points -- including a go-ahead layup in the final minute -- and the Clippers beat the Hawks 109-108 on Saturday night for their season-high seventh straight win. "In the locker room, I almost felt like we lost the game, because we expect a lot from themselves," Paul said. "But the name of the game is winning. So obviously, were happy we won. But theres a lot of things we need to clean up." The Pacific Division leaders got 13 points and 12 rebounds from DeAndre Jordan, and 17 points from Matt Barnes on the eve of his 34th birthday. The Clippers shot 53.2 per cent from the field, improving to 22-1 when shooting 50 per cent or better. "The Clippers are a really dangerous team," Atlantas Kyle Korver said. "We tried to eliminate their fast-break points, and they had one little stretch in the third quarter and they had a couple of plays that were hurting us with Blake and Chris. But other than that, I think we did a pretty good job." Griffin made 11 of 19 shots while extending his career-best streak of games with 20 or more points to 22. Jamal Crawford had three points in 10 minutes off the bench after missing three games with a left calf strain. DeMarre Carroll scored 19 points in Atlantas 14th loss in 15 games and sixth in a row. The Hawks have gone from four games over .500 to 26-35 during this sudden freefall but are still eighth in the Eastern Conference, 2 1/2 games ahead of Detroit for the final playoff berth. The Clippers had lost seven of the previous nine meetings, including 107-97 defeat in Atlanta on Dec. 4. Barnes missed that game because of a torn retina in his left eye. "The first thing you do is watch the last time you played them, and that was a good basketball team that night," Clippers coach Doc Rivers said. "They were playing so well at that time, then all of a sudden they just fell on hard times. A lot of that is confidence. When you start losing, you start pressing. Theyve also made a lot of trades and (roster) moves, and I think that affects your team." The Hawks have dropped their last 10 on the road, their longest drought since losing their final 13 in 2006-07. The Hawks were 12 for 28 from 3-point rannge. Dave Winfield Blue Jays Jersey. It was the 27th time they made at least 10 from behind the arc, tying the club record they set last season. All-Star forward Paul Millsap scored 14 points in his second game back, after missing the previous five with a bruised right knee. Korver was 3 for 3 behind the arc against the team with the leagues best 3-point defence, two games after his NBA-record streak of 127 games with a 3-point basket ended at Portland. Paul began the final quarter on the bench with the Clippers holding an 88-78 advantage. Danny Granger, playing his third game for the club since signing as a free agent, hit a 16-footer and a 20-footer 33 seconds apart and Willie Green added a 3-pointer for a 98-87 lead with 8:41 to play. The Hawks closed to 102-100 with an 11-2 run capped by Korver, who recorded his seventh four-point play of the season and 12th of his career. He also had a four-point play in the previous meeting. Jeff Teagues driving layup tied it at 107 with 1:35 remaining, but Paul responded with a driving layup with 54 seconds to go. The Hawks, whose 19 turnovers were converted into 25 points by the Clippers made a costly one under their own basket with 33 seconds left. But Griffin missed two free throws, giving Atlanta another life. Teague was fouled by Jordan with 1.2 seconds left and after missing the first free throw made the second when he was trying to miss. "I just told Blake in the locker room that I think this is the worst Ive felt about a win this season," Barnes said. "This was just a nasty win, a different kind of win. But at the end of the day, it was a win. We still have a lot to work on. With my game, its more mental that anything -- cut down turnovers and play solid defence." Already playing without injured forwards J.J. Redick and Jared Dudley, the Clippers had to go the final 9:50 of the second quarter without newly acquired forward Glen Davis after Big Baby picked up his first three fouls in a 3:53 span. Davis finished with four points in 13 minutes. NOTES: Rivers played eight seasons with Atlanta and is still the Hawks career assist leader with 3,866. "Its shocking, especially because of the fact that I didnt know I still had it," said Rivers, whose final regular-season game with them was on April 21, 1991.
