Ontheair seen time as a defensive back and wide receiver. She was even team cap- tain for the rivalry game against Corning. Damante said defense has been her favorite po- sition. "I love getting to tackle people," she said. Damante dresses in a separate locker room from the rest of her teammates, who she said have been "pretty good" at accept- ing her. "They're guys, so there's not too much to expect," she joked. Damante said she's learned several lessons through football. She notices the team succeeds more often when they work together as a team as opposed to getting into disagreements. "It brought me a lot of friends and it's taught me to work hard and not to give up no matter what they say," Damante said. The Spartan freshmen end their season at 5:30 p.m. Thursday at Pleasant Valley. Damante said she still hasn't decided if she'll play football again next year, but plans to join the alpine ski team this win- ter. Damante FROM PAGE 1 Mariah Damante the NFL and players were hashing out a new labor deal. He said Smith helped him through his suspen- sion last year, so he's re- turned the favor, texting, calling and encouraging his friend over the last two months. "Yeah, he helped me through mine. And we were going through stuff at the same time, too. So, we were talking together about what I was going through, what he was go- ing through: 'We're go- ing to get through this.' We were there for each other," Miller said. "It was like I know how it is when you get suspended, it just feels like nobody (has your back). So, I just wanted to be the guy that would just keep reaching out to him, like, 'I haven't forgot- ten about you. And I'm not even on your team.' "It's bigger than that. He's my friend. I care about him. I'm happy that he's doing a whole lot better," Miller added. "I'm excited for him to come back and have all that stuff out the way. It's a different feeling when you have all that stuff out the way and can just fo- cus on football." Miller said he's tried to tell Smith about what to expect in returning to ac- tion at midseason. "It's like the start of the season, everything's new, everything's fresh. So, like coming back is easy, re- ally. And like you get sore. I had that first Wednesday practice in pads and I was sore," Miller said. The danger, Miller said, is that you want to make up for all the games you missed. "You want to come back and you want to have four sacks in the first game, an- other four sacks in the next game and catch up to ev- erybody," Miller said. "Like when I came back and I got my first sack, it was like, 'OK I've got one. So, I've got 10 games left. If I can get three sacks this game, four sacks this game, I can catch up to everybody.' "But that's not my game. I just like to go out there and just play. But I feel like Al- don can come back and get 10-plus sacks, 12 sacks. Es- pecially with the type of schedule they got and they'll get Patrick Willis back. They'll get Navarro Bow- man back later in the year. They'll be ready to roll." Miller said he had a clear conscience after serving his suspension and never even considers the possibil- ity that if he slips up again he could face a year's sus- pension. "That's part of matu- rity. You don't even worry about getting in trouble any more," Miller said. He said he suspects Smith's play will reflect the load that's been taken off his shoulders, too. "It's a huge burden lifted. Just to be back on the field with the guys is the biggest part. Being back on the field is huge. It's great. Just lifting weights and watch- ing film and going home. You're back with the guys," Miller said. "So, I know how he feels. I know he's working hard. I know he's training, conditioning and all that. I wanted to change my body. I know he wanted to stay exactly where he is." Miller bulked up by 25 pounds heading into last season. The extra weight made him top heavy and might even have contrib- uted to his torn right ACL in December. He's back down to 245 and said in retrospect he wouldn't have packed on the pounds during his banishment. "I probably would have lost a little weight," Miller said. Smith FROM PAGE 1 ing a regular left fielder, won for the fourth straight year. Perez at catcher and Hosmer at first base have two wins apiece. "We've said from day one, if you can't play de- fense, there's probably not a spot for you in our every- day lineup," Royals general manager Dayton Moore said. Perez said he thought Royals outfielder Lorenzo Cain, third baseman Mike Moustakas and shortstop Alcides Escobar could win Gold Gloves in the near fu- ture. Managers and coaches voted for the awards in their own leagues. The So- ciety for American Base- ball Research's Defensive Index factored about 25 percent into the results. Gold Gloves have often been among the most dis- cussed and disputed of the postseason awards. More advanced ways of measuring glovework such as Ultimate Zone Rating and Defensive WAR have sometimes overtaken sta- tistics such as errors and fielding percentage that often determined the win- ners. Reputation also car- ried a lot of weight over the years. Cincinnati and Phila- delphia, the top two teams in the majors this year by fielding percentage, didn't have any winners. Baltimore center fielder Adam Jones won for the fourth time, Orioles short- stop J.J. Hardy won his third in a row and team- mate Nick Markakis won his second in right field. Markakis has become a free agent since the sea- son ended. There were six first- time winners — Mets cen- ter fielder Juan Lagares, Miami left fielder Chris- tian Yelich, Colorado sec- ond baseman DJ LeMahieu and Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Zack Greinke in the National League and Seattle third baseman Kyle Seager and Houston pitcher Dallas Keuchel in the American League. I feel so excited and happy," Lagares said. "It's a special honor." Other winners were Dodgers first baseman Adrian Gonzalez and Boston second baseman Dustin Pedroia for the fourth time each, Atlanta shortstop Andrelton Sim- mons, Braves right fielder Jason Heyward and Colo- rado third baseman Nolan Arenado. Molina is tied with Bob Boone for third place for most Gold Gloves by a catcher. Ivan Rodriguez won 13 and Johnny Bench 10 in awards that began in 1957. Gonzalez and Pedroia each earned a $100,000 bonus for winning and Hardy, Jones and Marka- kis will get $75,000 each. Gordon, Molina and Perez made $50,000 apiece and Simmons and Heyward earned $25,000 each. The Gold Glove trig- gered contract escala- tors for Perez, with the price of Kansas City's op- tions rising from $3.75 million to $3,825,000 in 2017, from $5 million to $5.15 million in 2018 and $6 million to $6.3 million in 2019. Baseball FROM PAGE 1 a week ago. Auburn is the highest ranked of the 12 one-loss teams in the rankings that will ultimately determine the national semifinals, and set matchups for the other four marquee New Year's Day bowls. Mississippi State held on to No. 1 after a 17-10 victory over Arkansas, when the Bulldogs trailed after half- time for the first time this season. Florida State over- came a 21-0 deficit at Lou- isville and won 42-31. The Bulldogs and Semi- noles are the only remain- ing undefeated teams from power-five conferences, and Long said "it really wasn't close" to any chance of them flip-flopping in the top two spots. "We stayed pretty con- sistent with the way we looked at 1 and 2 with Mississippi State and Flor- ida State," Long said. "Au- burn was a little bit behind in No. 3, but they were a solid No. 3." Marshall, 8-0 in Con- ference USA, again didn't make the Top 25 rankings. Big 12 leader Kansas State moved up two spots to seventh, hopping over Michigan State, which re- mained eighth. "Less about Michigan State, but more about Kan- sas State adding to their body of work," Long said, referring to the Wildcats, who are coming off a 48-14 win over Oklahoma State. Kansas State plays at TCU on Saturday night, and Oregon is at Utah, which stayed 17th in the playoff rankings after a 19-16 loss at Arizona State. The Sun Devils made the biggest upward move, five spots to ninth. That is one spot ahead of Notre Dame, which rounded out the top 10 for the second week in a row, and plays at Arizona State on Saturday. The final playoff rank- ings will be released Dec. 7, the day after most of the conference championships are decided.
