Never be dead.Thats been Canberras mantra this season and they lived by it on Sunday at GIO Stadium, staging one of the NRLs greatest escapes to beat Newcastle 29-25 in golden point.A miraculous Jordan Rapana try was the difference and puts his side on the brink of the top four.Down 22-0 just before halftime, the Raiders looked destined for an unthinkable loss to the competition cellar-dwellers.But four unanswered tries - including a double to skipper Jarrod Croker - in regular time set them up for a grandstand finish in front of 9,731 fans.Locked up at 24-all, five-eighth Blake Austin kicked what looked to be the match-winning field goal inside the final 90 seconds.But Trent Hodkinson replied moments later with a successful attempt of his own after the Knights regained possession from a short kick-off to send the game to golden point.Its the second time this season the teams have played beyond the 80 minutes, having drawn 24-24 in round three.On that occasion there were seven missed attempts at a field goal, but there were only five on Sunday.The last wayward kick was by Austin, on which Rapana - who earlier jarred his shoulder - somehow pounced to score and seal the victory.Theyre the little pieces of play that make or break teams, coach Ricky Stuart said. I missed it to be quite honest.After we missed the field goal I think I was abusing somebody.But it was just wonderful to get that feeling.Stuart lauded his sides tenacity in the first half, when Rapana (shoulder), Croker (concussion) and man mountain Shannon Boyd (knee) all came off hurt.None of the injuries appear to be serious.Theyre a very, very tough and resilient bunch of players that Im very fortunate to be coach of, he said.Ive had media talk to me all week about complacency - its not in the joint.Croker said the team had been in similar situations before and constantly spoke about hanging tough.Its not an ideal situation to be in, but we talk about having pride in the jersey, we talk about never being dead and we showed that today, he added.It was the Raiders fifth win in the past five games and puts them just one point outside the top four.For the last-placed Knights it marks their 10th successive loss.Theyll have a much-needed bye next week while the Raiders host North Queensland next Monday. Joe Theismann Redskins Jersey . Wilson hit Schenn from behind during Tuesday nights game in Philadelphia, earning a five-minute major for charging and a game misconduct. He has a phone hearing with the department of player safety, which limits any potential suspension to five or fewer games. Charley Taylor Redskins Jersey .ca NHL Power Rankings for the second straight week, ahead of the Pittsburgh Penguins and Colorado Avalanche. https://www.redskinssportsgoods.com/Womens-Derrius-Guice-Inverted-Jersey/ . -- Adam Snyder returned to the San Francisco 49ers this season because the offensive lineman thought it was his best opportunity to win a championship. Sonny Jurgensen Youth Jersey . But now that hes in the NHL, the Calgary Flames centre showed big improvement in that department by scoring the winner in the eighth round of a 5-4 shootout victory over the Winnipeg Jets on Monday. Earnest Byner Youth Jersey . -- James Young couldnt wait to apply those tweaks to his jump shot, and the first one he made against UT Arlington told him it could be a good night. PARADISE ISLAND, Bahamas -- Michigan State spent the first 30 minutes playing with energy and building a huge lead, then the last 10 nearly giving it all away.Still, the 24th-ranked Spartans came away from the Battle 4 Atlantis with a win -- and the end of a brutally tough opening month of the schedule in sight.Miles Bridges scored 21 points to help Michigan State hold off Wichita State 77-72 on Friday in the Battle 4 Atlantis third-place game.Eron Harris added 13 points for the Spartans (4-3), who bounced back from Thursdays loss to No. 20 Baylor in a game that left coach Tom Izzo saying his injury-hit team looked awfully tired and maybe a bit overwhelmed by the early schedule.Theres no question that this team has been through a lot, Izzo said. But thats what I challenged them with. I dont challenge them with effort, heart, I dont challenge them very often with character issues. But I did challenge their character a little bit.Izzo said he sensed great focus from his players Friday morning.The most important thing is finding a way to get off the mat, he said. That is the most important lesson I can teach these guys whether it be in life or in basketball.Michigan State led by 18 midway through the half and held a 15-point lead with 8:05 left, only to see the Shockers (5-2) turn to fullcourt pressure to get back in it. Wichita State ran off a 14-0 run to get to 66-65 on Daishon Smiths layup over Bridges with 4:13 left.We got stops, Smith said. We were able to put our athleticism into the game, and thats what we did.But the Shockers couldnt quite push ahead. Bridges and fellow freshman Cassius Winston hit key 3-pointers. And when the Shockers had one more chance to tie it, Smith missed a long straightaway 3.Bridges grabbed the rebound and hit two clinching free throws with 4.7 seconds left.Darral Willis scored 16 points to lead Wichita State, which shot 36 percent.BIG PICTUREWichita State: As bad as things looked midway through the second half, the Shockers showed a downright scary fullcourt press to get back in it.dddddddddddd. Coach Gregg Marshall has tried to talk more about defense than the teams offensive potential during three days in Atlantis; that finish might have reinforced it to his team, too.Marshall also didnt rule out the possibility of using pressure defense more going forward.Ill just have to evaluate us and evaluate my coaching and evaluate our personnel and try to figure out a way to play more like the team in the second half than the team in the first half, he said.Michigan State: The Spartans looked fresh and showed a balanced offense for about 30 minutes. From there, they did just enough to hang on.We didnt beat the Lakers, but we won a big game, Izzo said, and we did it with old-style grit for 90 percent of that game.POLL IMPLICATIONSThe Spartans will give voters an interesting decision for the next AP Top 25 . Yes, all of the Spartans losses in this brutally tough opening month are to ranked teams. But will that be enough to keep a 4-3 team in the poll? Stay tuned.Wichita State had a shot to play its way in, but two straight losses to ranked opponents ended that chance for now.BRIDGES IN ATLANTISBridges, a 6-foot-7 freshman from Flint, Michigan, went 6 for 11 from the field and made 4 of 8 3-pointers.Once I get going, the basket opens up a little bit more for me, said Bridges, who scored 22 in the opener against St. Johns and had 15 against Baylor.UP NEXTWichita State: The Shockers return home for a Tuesday game against Southern Nazarene, a Division II program from Bethany, Oklahoma.Michigan State: Things dont get any easier for the Spartans.
