From staff and wire reports
South Carolina State’s Javon Hargrave (North Rowan) was one of the big stories of the practices leading up to Saturday’s East-West Shrine Game.
NFL Network’s Daniel Jeremiah called Hargrave “the best player” there.
“He has an excellent combination of quickness and power,” Jeremiah wrote. “He dominated the one-on-one drills.”
Added Chase Goodbread of College Football 24/7: “Hargrave was consistently a headache for East offensive linemen during the practice week with first-step quickness that created backfield disruption.”
Oregon QB Vernon Adams led the West squad to a 29-9 win over the East.
The next big challenge for Hargrave will be the NFL Combine in Indianapolis Feb. 23-29.

PGA
LA QUINTA, Calif. (AP) — Jason Dufner made two great escapes. The first, from Alcatraz, no less.
David Lingmerth got no such reprieve at PGA West’s punishing TPC Stadium Course.
Dufner won the CareerBuilder Challenge with a par on the second hole of a playoff Sunday, taking advantage of Lingmerth’s shot that bounced off the jagged rocks and into the water.
In regulation on the island-green 17th called Alcatraz, Dufner — tied with Lingmerth for the lead — pulled his 8-iron tee shot and thought it bounced into the water.
Instead, it settled into a small sandy area between some of the tangled rocks that circle the green.
“I was like, ‘Man, this is a great break I’m going to take advantage of it,’” Dufner said.
He hooked a chip that struck the flagstick and stopped inches away.
