-off and 14-2 became 38-3 when Danielle Hazell (1-20), second to Shrubsole in the world standings, removed Fargana Ho
CORVALLIS, Ore. -- Oregon States Tres Tinkle is still learning how to balance basketball and family -- no easy task when his dad is his coach.The sophomore forward has his own apartment now, taking those first steps toward independence. He hasnt quite mastered dinner, however.I still go home most nights for a home cooked meal. Its better than what Im probably going to making for myself, he said, laughing. But its good being close to the gym and the campus. Late nights, Ill walk over here and shoot.The Beavers, embarking on their third season under coach -- and proud dad -- Wayne Tinkle, open at home on Friday night against Prairie View A&M. Oregon State hopes to build on last season when the team went 19-13 overall and got into the NCAA Tournament for the first time in 26 years.But it will be a challenge. The Beavers have just one senior on their roster. Star guard Gary Payton II, who led the team with an average of 16 points a game, is playing in the NBA development league and fellow starter Malcom Duvivier has left the team for personal reasons.Oregon State has a promising group of young sophomores, including the younger Tinkle, Drew Eubanks and Stephen Thompson Jr.Tinkle, the teams co-captain with Eubanks, is the Beavers top returner in average points per game (13.1), rebounds (5.4) and assists (1.1). As a starter, he averaged 15.1 points in 11 games.But he missed the end of last season because of a foot injury which required offseason surgery. He was cleared for full practice three weeks ago and is expected to start Friday.It was tough for sure, missing five of the biggest games of the year is not fun, and especially our past history of not making it for so long, Tres Tinkle said. It stings because you want to be out there, because you worked with them all year and those are your best friends and your brothers competing. You just wish you could be out there helping them.He also said watching from the bench was a valuable learning experience.I think I just learned the game through a coachs eye, I was able to examine the open spots on the court and things like that, he said. It helped to put that into my game, where I saw other people doing things. I was able to learn and understand what the coaches were looking at.Tinkle and his dad arent the only father-son duo on the team. Thompson, who averaged 10.6 points per game last season, is the son of assistant coach Stephen Thompson.And a younger Thompson, Ethan, signed a letter of intent to play for the Beavers on Wednesday. The 6-foot-4 shooting guard is a four-star recruit out of Bishop Montgomery High School in Torrance, California.Coach Thompson posted a photo on Twitter with the words: I would like to congratulate my son Ethan Thompson on officially becoming a Beaver. This is one of the proudest moments of my life.At Pac-12 media day, Tres Tinkle said that every day it gets easier to differentiate between his dad and coach Tinkle.It was tough for me just to know who Im talking to. Once that got figured out, it made things way easier and weve just been growing from there. Obviously, we have days where some are better than others, the younger Tinkle said. But if we look back and reflect on it, its unique, and its awesome to have him by my side the whole way.Wayne Tinkle said he agrees the experience is precious.By no means is this just a father-son experience. Weve got our whole program, our university and everybody behind us, he said. But the side bar of it is were able to enjoy some pretty special moments together.---More college basketball: http://collegebasketball.ap.org/Fake Air Max For Sale .

Edwards struck seven fours in her 11th fifty in T20 internationals - her first half-century in the format in 11 innings, since the unbeaten 75 made against South Africa at Northampton in September 2014.After England posted 153-7 Bangladesh fell well short despite posting their highest ever T20 score of 117-6 thanks to a new record fifth-wicket partnership of 64 between Salma Khatun and Nigar Sultana (35) - a stand broken by a neatly-executed Sarah Taylor stumping, made standing up to Anya Shrubsole (2-27).England went on the offensive after winning the toss; Tammy Beaumont (18 off 14) put on 34 in 4.1 overs with Edwards - lofting Salma for a glorious six over long on - before being bowled on the charge, looking to hit Jahanara Alam (3-32) across the line.Sarah Taylor (nine) struggled to find fluency despite an early scoop for two and was stumped by Sultana off Fahima Khatun as she attempted to force the pace.Two balls later Heather Knight drove a low catch back to Khadija Tul Kubra but from 71-3 Edwards pressed on to reach her fifty off 41 balls.The captain enjoyed a reprieve three runs later when the capped Salma shelled a routine caught and bowled chance and had another escape on 57 when Jahanara couldnt quite get across at extra cover.Nat Sciver (27 off 22), herself dropped at midwicket by Rumana off Salma on 26, couldnt make the most of the reprieve and picked out long on as she sougght to go over the top.ddddddddddddDanni Wyatt and Katherine Brunt kept up Scivers momentum after Edwards walked past a Rumana Ahmed delivery before falling to successive Jahanara deliveries at the end of the innings.Bangladesh, who had never scored more than 115 in a Twenty20, struggled from the first over of their chase - a wicket maiden in which Brunt (1-17) bowled Sharmin Akhter leg stump.Anya Shrubsole, currently No 1 in the T20 rankings, should also have struck in her opening over but Wyatt shelled a straightforward chance offered by Fargana Hoque before shed scored.The seamer swiftly made amends, forcing Ayasha Rahman to drive to Edwards at mid-off and 14-2 became 38-3 when Danielle Hazell (1-20), second to Shrubsole in the world standings, removed Fargana Hoque (19).Edwards impressive all-round display was capped when she slid, gathered and shied with success to run Rumana (19) out with a direct hit.England captain Charlotte Edwards: Its always nice to start with runs but the win is the most important thing. We got a good total and even though there is a bit we can do with our bowling and fielding it was a good all-round performance and run out. I will be talking about my run out and catch for some time!England coach Mark Robinson: I thought we were a bit safe on a really good wicket and lost our way and our intent in the middle overs - we dont want to be like that. We were also a bit lazy with our decision-making with the ball but maybe its good to leave a bit in the tank.Watch highlights of England Womens victory over Bangladesh Women at 6pm on Sky Sports 2.
