Parsons Nudges Past LaVallee for Surprise Gold in Snowmobile Speed and Style
Joe Parsons knows how to finish. He just managed to slip past defending champion Levi LaVallee in the final of snowmobile speed and style. Although LaVallee dominated Parsons in the speed component of this race, Parsons laid down some difficult moves, including a few double back-flips, during his style routine to edge LaVallee for the gold in a tight battle. Parsons finished second in the seeding session, flew past novice Sam Rogers in the quarters, and barely came out on top in the semis versus Corey Davis to earn a spot in the finals and, eventually, take the gold.

Duke is number 1
With the loss by wake forest in the past 2 days the duke blue devils will move up to the number one spot in the country. On Saturday however Maryland comes into town and they will have to validate the number one rank. On Wednesday the game of the year so far will take place when the Devils go into Wake. It will be a good duke defense against the explosive offense of Wake. I can't wait. 7:00 ESPN.
