ANNAPOLIS, Md. -- Two of the most surprising teams in the American Athletic Conference meet Saturday in an unlikely duel for first place in the West Division.No. 24 Navy (4-1, 3-0) knocked off previously unbeaten and then-No. 6 Houston two weeks ago. Memphis (5-1, 2-0) announced itself as a contender by defeating Temple in its AAC opener on Oct. 6.After Saturdays matchup only one will remain unbeaten in league play.It doesnt take a rocket scientist to figure out how important this game is for both teams, Navy coach Ken Niumatalolo said. We both control our own destiny. Whoever wins is going to be in the drivers seat.The Midshipmen made their move with a 46-40 upset of Houston. They were unable to build momentum because their Oct. 13 game at East Carolina was postponed due to flooding caused by Hurricane Matthew.Memphis has gotten off to an equally impressive start behind a potent offense and a defense that leads the nation with 18 forced turnovers.Im really pleased with where we are at the midpoint of the season, said first-year coach Mike Norvell, whose squad is coming off a 24-14 victory at Tulane. We have put ourselves in position for this week to be a huge game.---Some other things to know about the second meeting between Navy and Memphis:VOLUNTEER NAVY: This game holds special meaning for Navy linebacker D.J. Palmore and safety Sean Williams because both hail from the greater Memphis region. Palmore is a native of Bartlett and played at Christian Brothers High in Memphis. Williams is from Cordova, which like Bartlett is a nearby suburb of Memphis. Palmore and Williams are among 17 players on the Navy roster from the state of Tennessee.TOUGH AT CRUNCH TIME: Navy has won its three conference games by a touchdown or less. The Midshipmen needed a last-second goal-line stand to edge Connecticut by four and a gutsy touchdown drive late in the fourth quarter to pull out a 21-14 victory at Tulane. Theyve been in a lot of close games and you can see the character of that football team, which is quite impressive, Norvell said. Memphis is one win away from becoming bowl eligible for the third straight season. Linebacker Genard Avery and cornerback Arthur Maulet both have two interceptions and a forced fumble.FAMILIAR FOE: Norvell, the youngest head coach in the Football Bowl Subdivision at age 35, spent the previous four seasons as offensive coordinator at Arizona State. He directed an attack that saw the Sun Devils score 62 points and roll up 648 yards on the Midshipmen in the 2012 Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl. Mike does a really nice job. We remember Mike from Arizona State, where he always had really potent offenses, Niumatalolo said.HOME SWEET HOME: This is the first time Memphis has played at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium. Navy has a 13-game winning streak at the facility, which opened in 1959. The Midshipmen can set a school record for most consecutive victories at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium by beating the Tigers. Our stadium has become a pretty tough place to play, with the Brigade (of Midshipmen) and the fans, Niumatalolo said. Were going to need all the home-field advantage we can get in this game.TIME TO HEAL: Niumatalolo said the unexpected bye week was a blessing in disguise since Navy was bruised and battered following back-to-back physical affairs with Air Force and Houston. Starting fullback Chris High (hip), backup slotback Calvin Cass Jr. (concussion), No. 3 wide receiver Tyler Carmona (concussion) and starting cornerback Tyris Wooten (undisclosed) were all nursing injuries. Last week was used to mend a little bit, to get some rest, rehab and recover, Niumatalolo said. We had some guys that were pretty banged up, but theyll all be back.---AP college football website: www.collegefootball.ap.org Fake China Jerseys . -- Charline Labonte couldnt have asked for a better homecoming.

Former Sussex seamer Lewis Hatchett is forging a new career as a motivational speaker, inspiring others with the remarkable story of how he overcame a disability to become a professional cricketer.Hatchett was born with Poland Syndrome, a rare condition which appears in only one in 100,000 births and which affects one side of the body in different ways. In Hatchetts case he is missing his right pectoral muscle and the two ribs that would have been behind it, which means his chest is visibly sunken on that part of his body, leaving complications that he has to deal with on a day-to-day basis.His right shoulder muscles overcompensated for the missing pectoral, causing these muscles to be over-used and they become fatigued quickly, resulting in aches, burning sensations and headaches daily along with his right chest offering little protection to his right lung.Although he was advised as a youngster not to play contact sports, Hatchetts determination helped him to overcome his condition. He spent six years as a professional with Sussex, taking 102 wickets in 53 first-team matches in all competitions, and batting in a bullet-proof vest.He was advised to retire at the end of last season because of a lower-back complaint.Hatchett is still adjusting to life outside the Sussex dressing room but he has kept busy by helping his brother Bradley in a business networking business, works as a personal trainer - a course he took with the help of PCA funding while he was playing - and has also begun a career as a motivational speaker.The more I have spoken about my condition and my path into the game, the more I have realised how rare this story is, Hatchett said. Its not just relevant to people with disabilities. A lot of the people who have heard me speak dont have a disability, but tell me that, having heard my story, they realise that they dont have a reason to complain about things that they think are wrong in their own lives.I believe that there aree so many messages in my story that are transferable to all aspects of life and I am really enjoying telling it.dddddddddddd Each time I speak I get better and the feedback is brilliant.Hatchett was not always so comfortable in discussing his condition and for a long time he hid it so that it could not be used as an excuse to not select him.I protected it because I didnt want to give anyone the chance to use it against me, to not pick me or to drop me. I could accept not being selected for my cricket, but not my body, that wasnt an option in my eyes, he said.I worked incredibly hard to make myself the fittest player in the team so no one could use my body against me. I know I did everything possible to play professional cricket and probably went further than I ever should have.My family never made it a big deal. I have a younger brother who is fully able-bodied. We competed against each for years and I didnt see myself as any different for him.I wasnt put in cotton wool. I wasnt protected from anything. As a youngster I knew I wasnt the best player around, but I knew I could work harder than everyone else I came up against and Id give myself a chance, which is what I did.Hatchetts condition meant that he had to work hard to develop his leading right arm for bowling and catching. The vulnerability of his right chest meant that, if struck, the consequences could have been fatal and so he had a specially-designed vest made out of Kevlar to protect the right side of his chest while batting.The chest guard was something I had built in my second year of being a pro because I realised that chest guards that you get off the shelf werent going to cut the mustard with bowlers bowling up to 90mph, Hatchett said. The Kevlar chest guard is literally bulletproof, so when I was batting I could say to bowlers, Im bulletproof! ' ' '
