LAGOS, Nigeria -- Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure was named African player of the year for a third straight time on Thursday. He beat out Chelsea midfielder John Obi Mikel of Nigeria in the vote by Africas national team coaches. Toures fellow Ivorian Didier Drogba, the Galatasaray striker and two-time recipient, was third. "To be the winner today is unbelievable," the 30-year-old Toure said. "I am very happy and very, very proud." Toure was instrumental in helping Ivory Coast qualify for its third straight World Cup finals in Brazil, scoring four goals in the six qualifiers he played. He is also a driving force at the heart of Manchester Citys midfield and only Cameroons Samuel Etoo with four has won more African player of the year awards than Toure. In October, Toure joined a U.N. campaign against poaching, warning the slaughter of elephants threatens their very existence in Africa. Nigeria swept all of the other major honours at a gala in Lagos, the countrys seaside commercial capital. Stephen Keshi was named coach of the year after reviving the fortunes of the national team and leading the Super Eagles to their first African Cup win in 20 years. Keshi was captain of the Nigerian team that last won the African Cup of Nations in 1994. The Super Eagles won the team of the year award, and the under-17 Golden Eaglets took away the trophy for the youth team. Even Nigerian supporters were honoured, winning the award for fair play. Egypts Mohamed Aboutrika won an unprecedented fourth award for the best player based in Africa after helping Al Ahly to a record-extending eighth African Champions League title before retiring at the end of last year. Aboutrika scored in both legs of the final against South Africas Orlando Pirates. Al Ahly won Africas club of the year for the fifth time. Hector Herrera Mexico Jersey . The Pelicans had seven players in double figures and stayed in the game despite foul trouble all night for big man Anthony Davis. Davis ended up playing the fourth quarter with four fouls, providing enough of a presence on both ends of the floor to allow his teammates to go strong to the hoop. Diego Laxalt Uruguay Jersey . "It was one of the worst feelings Ive had in hockey for sure," the Edmonton Oil Kings defenceman said. Being forced to sit and watch the first three Canadian games of this years tournament has been almost as painful. http://www.officialsoccerfanshop.com/Mexico/Hugo-Ayala-Jersey/ . But until the 10th inning, the Colorado Rockies outfielder was hitless. That changed quickly when Dickerson drove a two-out, 0-1 pitch into the pool deck beyond the right field fence for the tiebreaking home run in the Rockies 5-3 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks. Javier Aquino Mexico Jersey . Kansas centre Joel Embiid worked out Wednesday for the Cavs, who are trying to decide what to do with the No. Pablo Hernandez Chile Jersey ." That, Smith explained Monday at a news conference, would be the "typical thoughts a defensive player (would have) with the ball." And he heeded his own advice, going 69 yards for a touchdown on that play. He added a fumble recovery later and earned MVP honours as Seattle beat Mannings Denver Broncos 43-8 for the Seahawks first NFL championship.Scottsdale, AZ (SportsNetwork.com) - Martin Laird carded his second straight 5-under 66 on Friday to grab the lead at the Phoenix Open, but the bigger story was who wont be around for the weekend. Laird ended 36 holes at 10-under-par 132. He closed his second round with a bogey at the 18th, and that was his first bogey of the tournament. While that was his first bogey, two of the biggest names in the field - Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson - dropped too many shots and will both miss the cut. It marks the second time ever that the two have missed the cut at the same event. The other time that happened was at the 2012 Greenbrier Classic. Woods struggled to an 11-over 82 and he ended at 13-over-par 155 at the TPC Scottsdale. He missed the cut in his second straight start for the first time in his PGA Tour career. Woods had three pars and a bogey over his first four holes. An unplayable lie penalty at the 14th led to a double-bogey. Woods rinsed his tee shot at the par-5 15th. He found a bunker with his fourth there and needed four more to get down. The triple-bogey dropped him to plus-8 for the tournament. Woods bogeyed 17 and 18 as well. Woods flew the green at the par-3 fourth and hit a pair of poor chip shots. He walked off with another double-bogey, which dropped him into last place. Woods birdied the fifth and eighth, but bogeyed six and seven. He closed with another bogey at the last. I was more committed to what I was doing on my back nine, hit some better shots, but still have a lot of work to do, Woods said. It was not a very good day from the start, until the end, but I fought all day. Mickelson, a three-time winner of this event, struggled to a 5-over 76, which left him at 3-over-par 145. The cut line will fall at plus-1. The conditions during Woods round were not ideal, and they got worse while Mickelson was on the course. Mickelson carded six pars and three bogeys on the front nine. Mickelson dropped two more shots at 12 and 13. He got one back at the par-5 15th, where he rolled in a 5-foot birdie try. Needing one birdie over the final three holes to make the cut, Mickelson made two pars and a bogey to end at plus-3. Daniel Berger, who is playing on a sponsors exemption, posted a 2-under 69 and he stands alone in second place at minus-8. Justin Thomas carded a 3-under 68 to move into thhird place at 7-under-par 135.dddddddddddd Former Masters champions Zach Johnson (70), Bubba Watson (71) and Angel Cabrera (69) share fourth place at minus-6. They were joined there by first- round leader Ryan Palmer (72), Ryan Moore (67) and Robert Streb (70). Rain fell for most of Fridays second round and play was eventually suspended for the night due to darkness. The first round had also been halted by darkness and was completed earlier Friday. The second round will resume Saturday morning at 9:45 a.m. ET with third round tee times starting at approximately 11 a.m. Laird was in the fourth-to-last group out off the first tee. After three pars to open his round, he stuffed his tee shot inside two feet at the fourth. Laird kicked that in for birdie then parred his next three holes. At the eighth, Laird poured in a long birdie effort from off the green to move to minus-7 and within one of Berger. Laird parred four in a row from the ninth before soaring into the lead. Laird drained a 19-footer for birdie at the 13th. He kicked in a short birdie at the par-5 15th to grab the lead at minus-9. After a birdie at 16, Laird made it three in a row as he drained his second straight 7-foot birdie putt. The Scotsman was three clear of the field at 11-under heading to the last. With darkness setting in, Laird missed the green with his approach shot and played his third to six feet. He missed the par effort, but was still two clear with 36 holes to play. Berger, who was in the last group out in the morning wave, opened with nine pars in a row. He traded a bogey for a birdie from the 10th. After five more pars, Berger birdied the final two holes to end at minus-8. Im really happy with the way I performed. The course is playing really tough out there. I made nine pars to start the round and just kind of hung in there, Berger said. NOTES: Laird owns the 36-hole lead for the third time in his PGA Tour career ... He has won one of the previous two times he was in that position ... With the poor weather on Friday, attendance dipped to 81,309 ... The cut will likely fall at 1-over-par 143, and that will mean Robert Allenby, Kenny Perry, Ryo Ishikawa, Jason Dufner, Erik Compton, Padraig Harrington, David Toms and Camilo Villegas will miss the cut along with Woods and Mickelson.
