WINSTON-SALEM, N. Danny Rose Jersey .C. -- Brandon Childress is trying to make a name for himself at Wake Forest.Thats quite a challenge for the son of Randolph Childress -- one of the best players in program history and a current assistant coach at the school.Brandon Childress called it a gift and a curse being my fathers son in an interview with The Associated Press, but is embracing the tough task that comes with living up to the family name.Randolph Childress made a school-record 329 3-pointers and scored 2,208 points -- more than every other Wake Forest player in the past 60 years -- from 1990-95 before becoming a first-round draft pick and beginning a 16-year pro career that included stints in the NBA and in Europe.No ones asking his son to duplicate those numbers, of course, though father and son do have some similarities in their game . Both are pure shooters, though itll be tough to match what Dad did in 1995.Randolph scored an Atlantic Coast Conference Tournament-record 107 points over three days, hitting a memorable jumper over a fallen-down Jeff McInnis after a crossover move before hitting the go-ahead leaner in the final seconds of overtime to beat North Carolina for the title.Randolph said Brandon earned the scholarship and hasnt been given anything because of family ties. Scout.com rated Brandon as a three-star recruit out of Wesleyan Christian in nearby High Point.I wanted him to go through the (recruiting) process and know Im not going to push you, and Im not the one thats bringing you here, Randolph said. You earned the right to be here.Instead, theyre asking more of him because of his familiarity with the university, the program and the system: Randolph has been on Wake Forests staff since 2012, and though he was born in Detroit, Brandon lists his hometown as Winston-Salem.The expectation for Brandon is that he comes in, he grasps the system and hes got a head start on all of our freshmen because hes been around the last two years, coach Danny Manning said. So his standard is probably a little bit higher than the other freshmen in that regard.From the outside, it might seem like the younger Childress was always headed to Wake Forest because he saw one of the key recruiters every day.Not the case, both father and son insist.Brandon said his dad didnt put a finger in my recruiting at all and didnt even accompany him on his official visits, but did offer advice on what to expect during the recruiting process. Randolph says that was because he knew his son had to come to a decision on his own.Stanford, Clemson, East Carolina, Charlotte and UNC Greensboro were the main other schools that showed interest, Brandon said.A lot of people think it was simple, but it really wasnt, he said. A lot of schools always wanted to say, `Ah, hes going to play for his father, when I told several coaches that right now, I dont want to play for my father -- I just want to go on my own, and a lot of schools didnt want to give me the opportunity.Turns out, the one school that offered him what he wanted most -- a chance to play in the ACC -- was the one where Dad works.There were always going to be people questioning or saying things -- `Oh, you just went there because of your dad -- and I wanted him to be able to say, your recruitment went through a coaching change (from Jeff Bzdelik to Manning) as well, so you earned that opportunity to come here, Randolph said. There were no strings to tie, there were no promises made or assumptions made that youre going to be here. All I told him was, youre going to work to get here, how difficult it was to get here and once you got here, you had to work even harder.---Follow Joedy McCreary at http://twitter.com/joedyap.

Mousa Dembele Jersey . The 18-year-old American had five birdies in her bogey-free round for a 17-under total of 196. Lee held the overnight lead but mixed three birdies with two bogeys for a 70. http://www.footballhotspurstore.com/Women-Kevin-Wimmer-Tottenham-Hotspur-Jersey/ . After slipping from the summit during the week, the Gunners overcame struggling Crystal Palace 2-0 on Sunday thanks to Alex Oxlade-Chamberlains second-half brace. Andrew Bogut?exceeded all expectations - including his own - with a powerhouse performance as Australia trounced France 87-66 to open an Olympic mens basketball tournament with a win for the first time in 20 years.Bogut was initially considered unlikely to even make it to Rio after damaging his knee in game five of the NBA finals in June.But the newly-minted Dallas Maverick underwent a gruelling rehab program and recovered in the nick of time, showing on Saturday why he was so crucial to the Boomers chances of Olympic success in Rio.He had 18 points on nine-of-10 shooting, five assists and four rebounds and was also an imposing figure on the defensive end.I didnt know how I was going to pull up, said Bogut, whose first points came courtesy of an alley-oop pass from Matthew Dellavedova.But when you make your first basket in an Olympic Games it helps get your confidence rolling and I felt good after that.Tonight everyone will be talking about offence, about dunks, about me scoring and Patty (Mills) scoring, but it was won defensively.We knuckled down defensively. Before the tournament we said that we need to be pricks defensively.We need to be physical because thats the only chance we have to beat a lot of these teams who are a little more talented than us.Mills had a game-high 21 points, outscoring his San Antonio teammate Tony Parker by three.The superstar French guard threatened to take the game away from the Boomers with an astonishing 14-point second quarter, but he was only used sparingly by his coach Vincent Collet in the second halff. Cameron Carter-Vickers Hotspur Jersey. I thought we did a pretty good job of throwing bodies at Parker, said Australian coach Andrej Lemanis.Between Delly (Dellavedova), Patty, Kevin Lisch even through Damian Martin, just making it tough for him, to wear him out over the course of 40 minutes.The San Antonio playmaker drained 14 second-quarter points, including a buzzer beater which slashed Australias lead to 36-33 at halftime.Parker and his former Spurs teammate Boris Diaw - who was traded to the Utah Jazz last month - scored 25 of Frances 33 first-half points between them.Bogut continued to be an offensive threat in the third term, both as a scorer and with two superb assists for Ryan Broekhoff and Mills.Lemanis ended up giving Bogut 22 minutes and 35 seconds of game-time, with the centre playing with heavy strapping and padding on his knee.He did an unbelievable job of looking after himself during the rehab period and doing what he had to do to get here, said Lemanis.Its a great testament to him, how much he wanted to be in the Olympics playing alongside his mates and playing for his country.Fellow big Aron Baynes also had a considerable impact on the match, finishing with 14 points and eight rebounds.Having won their opening match at an Olympics for the first time since the 1996 Atlanta Games, the Boomers will now turn their attention to key games against Serbia on Monday (early Tuesday AM AEST) and the United States two days later.
