WINNIPEG -- The Winnipeg Blue Bombers have locked in their starting running back for 2015, after announcing that Paris Cotton has signed a two-year contract
extension.
Max
Pacioretty Jersey . Cotton, 25, started the final four games of 2014 after
taking over for Nic Grigsby, rushing for 341 yards on 55 carries with three
touchdowns. He eclipsed the 100-yard mark twice in his final three games,
averaging six yards per carry over his four starts. “His numbers speak for
themselves, to be quite honest, said General Manager Kyle Walters. ”He got an
opportunity and simply made the most of it. You look at what he did in those
four starts, and it makes us eager to see what he can do over a full 18 games.
Paris is a great young man with strong work ethic, an abundance of athleticism,
and a team-first attitude, the Bombers second-year GM continued. He’ll have an
opportunity to be the starting tailback with us next season.” Cotton also caught
ten passes for 92 yards, and returned nine kickoffs for 184 yards. The move
crosses off an important item on the teams off-season checklist, after a season
that endured many highs and lows. Overall, 2014 saw marked improvement from
2013, as the Bombers won seven games (four more than the previous year) while
competing for a playoff spot. They also appear to have their franchise
quarterback in Drew Willy. On the other side, though, an eight-game losing
streak eventually sidelined any hope of making the playoffs. The ground game,
both defensively and offensively, plagued the Bombers through 2014, highlighted
by a league-worst 152 yards per game against. With Cotton, though, their
offensive rushing attack appears on track. “Having the chance to showcase my
abilities late in the season was a blessing,” said Cotton. “Obviously we didn’t
accomplish what we wanted to this season, but I feel the foundation is really
there. Drew is a great quarterback and we are only going to get stronger the
more time we play together.” Cotton said the thought of going elsewhere or
exploring other options didn’t even cross his mind. “I knew all season this
franchise is solid, from top to bottom. Coach Mike O’Shea is a first class
coach, someone who players want to play for, he said. And once I had my
opportunity, I was so grateful and wanted to get something done here as soon as
possible. I’m really excited for what is ahead.” Head Coach Mike OShea, who
guided the Bombers to a 5-1 start in his rookie season, said hes excited to see
what Cotton can do over a full 18-game schedule. “The last few games, Paris
reminded us of what we liked coming out of training camp,” said OShea. “He is a
dynamic running back who possess quick feet and a burst of speed. We are looking
forward to seeing what he can do for a full season.” Cotton originally signed
with Winnipeg after impressing at the club’s Florida mini-camp last April. Prior
to that, he played four years at Central Michigan, leading them in rushing in
his final two seasons.

second in as many nights as the Vancouver Canucks defeated the Carolina
Hurricanes 3-0 on Friday.CHICAGO -- Chicago Bulls fans chanted "MVP" when
Joakim Noah made big plays. Noah doesnt like the attention. "Thats not whats
important to me," Noah said. "Its just all about this team right now. Weve been
through so much. Its not about individual accolades." Noah turned in another
MVP-type performance on Saturday night, finishing with 23 points and 11 rebounds
in the Bulls 94-87 victory over the Sacramento Kings. "First thing is his game
is through the roof right now. His confidence is through the roof," teammate
Taj Gibson said. But Noah would rather focus the attention on the team and how
it withstood the Kings comeback. Gibson scored seven of his 19 points in the
fourth quarter, Mike Dunleavy added 16 and DJ Augustin had 12 for the Bulls
(37-29), who are fourth in the Eastern Conference and improved to 3-2 on their
six-game homestand. "It was very physical out there tonight," said Noah, who
added eight assists, five blocked shots and three steals to his 33rd
double-double. "That was a good win. We didnt let frustration get to us. We
stuck with it." Isaiah Thomas led the Kings with 26 and DeMarcus Cousins had 25
points and 14 rebounds. The Kings (23-43) won the rebounding battle 55-40, but
committed 16 turnovers and were 23 of 37 at the free-throw line. "Thats a lot of
points to be left on the court," Kings coach Michael Malone said. "The reality
is were just not good enough to not take advantage of all of those free throws."
Both teams struggled on offence, with the Bulls shooting 40 per cent and the
Kings 37 per cent. "The fact that we allowed a team that does not score a lot in
transition score 20 fast-break points, obviously that wasnt part of our game
plan," Malone said. The Kings are 2-4 on their seven-game road trip. Cousins hit
a layup with 1:01 left to cut the Bulls llead to 88-85.

and the Bulls made four of six free throws to seal the win. The Bulls led 48-43
at halftime before the Kings outscored them 20-16 in the third to pull within
one. The Bulls have won four straight at home against the Kings, the only team
below .500 to visit during the homestand. Noah had 17 points and five rebounds
and Rudy Gay led the Kings with 10 points at halftime. Noah scored 12 points in
the first quarter, which ended 23-23. "Noah is an incredible player. I say hes
the heart and soul of that Bulls team," Cousins said. The game was more
competitive than the teams previous meeting. The Kings routed the Bulls 99-70 at
Sleep Train Arena on Feb. 3, when the Bulls finished with season lows in points
and shooting percentage (28.2). "Thats a good team even though their record is
not too well," Gibson said. "They tend to play well at times. It was a battle
tonight." NOTES: Dunleavys right eye was black and blue and he wore tape above
it. He received 10 stitches after he caught an elbow when he drew a charge
Thursday in the Bulls 111-87 win over Houston. ... Evans started at power
forward for the Kings to match up against the Bulls front line. Malone said the
Kings will decide who plays the position based on each games matchup.
Derrick Williams has played both forward positions. ... Malone was impressed
with G Jimmer Fredette, who played 41 games with the Kings this season before he
signed with the Bulls on March 2. "He was always in the gym, even on off days,
committed to getting his work in," Malone said. "Even when he was not playing
and part of the rotation, he never dropped his head, kept on working, kept on
supporting his teammates. Thats why I think the Bulls at some point will be able
to use him." ... The Kings are 10-24 on the road.
