D.C. Divas Advance to Conference Semifinals with 69-8 Victory
Neal Rozendaal

Falls Church, VA – The D.C. Divas invaded Northern Virginia and celebrated their record-setting 11th playoff berth with one of the most commanding victories in franchise history.

The Divas exploded for ten touchdowns and opened their 2014 playoff journey with a 69-8 victory over the visiting Columbus Comets. It was the Divas’ most lopsided win since defeating the Northeastern Nitro in 2011 by a 77-0 score.

The D.C. Divas (5-3) seized control of the game early. Ashley Whisonant reeled in a 28-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Allyson Hamlin to give the Divas a 6-0 advantage less than two minutes into the game.

The Columbus Comets (5-5) drove deep into D.C. territory on their first offensive possession until a pass was deflected into the hands of Cherre Marshall, who returned the interception to midfield. Moments later, Kenyetta Grigsby ran 31 yards for a touchdown, and Callie Brownson passed to Kentrina Wilson for a two-point conversion and a 14-0 lead.

The Divas took an insurmountable lead late in the first quarter with two touchdowns in a thirty-second span. Whisonant eluded several defenders for her second touchdown reception of the game, a 58-yard scamper that gave the Divas a 21-0 margin. After a kickoff out of bounds, Columbus took over at their own 35-yard line. On the very next play, D.C. defensive back Lindsay Sollers intercepted a Columbus pass and returned it to the Comets’ ten-yard line.

Kenyetta Grigsby then immediately rushed the remaining ten yards for a Divas touchdown, her second of the game. The ball seemed to bounce the Divas’ way all game long, a fact made most evident on the extra point attempt following Grigsby’s second score. Kicker Molly Redmond found the ball in her hands after a botched kick attempt, but she sped to the edge of the field and ran the ball over the goal line for a two-point conversion and a 29-0 lead after one quarter.

The second quarter was more of the same for the D.C. Divas’ unstoppable offense. Wide receiver Kentrina Wilson, who leads the Women’s Football Alliance (WFA) with nine touchdown receptions on the season, added to that tally with a five-yard touchdown catch from Hamlin and put the Divas ahead, 36-0.

On the ensuing kickoff, defensive back Eleni Kotsis recovered the football to give possession right back to D.C. It didn’t take the offense long to cash in, as Kenyetta Grigsby soon rushed five yards for her third touchdown of the contest. Grigsby finished the game with six carries for 76 yards and three touchdowns, and her last score gave the Divas a 43-0 lead.

The potent D.C. offense added one more touchdown before halftime. With just 23 seconds left in the first half, Whisonant took a short pass, got loose down the sidelines, and sprinted 59 yards for a touchdown. Ashley Whisonant ended the game with 160 yards and three touchdowns on just four receptions. Her final touchdown handed the Divas a 49-0 halftime advantage.

The Columbus Comets came into the game ranked #12 in the WFA, but they were hampered all game long by the absences of several key players. Multiple Columbus players, including star back Shelley Gates, missed the game after being injured in the Comets’ regular season finale against the Chicago Force.

In spite of those injuries, Columbus battled gamely all evening, and they finally got on the scoreboard early in the second half with a long touchdown pass. A successful two-point conversion made the score 49-8 with just over two minutes gone in the third quarter.

Divas quarterback Allyson Hamlin had her best statistical game of the season, completing 12-22 passes for 254 yards and five touchdowns. Her final touchdown toss of the evening went to Kentrina Wilson and gave the Divas a 56-8 lead. Wilson, meanwhile, continued to stamp herself as a women’s football superstar with five receptions for 84 yards and two touchdowns.

The Divas’ offensive headliners retired to the bench midway through the third quarter, but the D.C. defense continued to play stellar football, forcing several turnovers. Denee Walker recovered a Columbus fumble, and Lindsay Sollers registered an interception and a fumble recovery.

But the defensive standout of the game was linebacker Alicia Hopkins, who led the team with eight tackles and a quarterback sack. In addition, Hopkins intercepted two Comets passes. Her second interception came with 14 minutes remaining in the game, and she returned that interception to the end zone for a Divas touchdown. Hopkins’ defensive score handed the Divas a 63-8 lead.

With four minutes left in the contest, D.C. scored their tenth and final touchdown of the game. Running back Okiima Pickett raced to the end zone for her first touchdown since suffering a severe leg injury against the Boston Militia in 2012. Pickett finished the game with 63 yards and one touchdown on 11 carries, and her lone score capped off the Divas’ 69-8 victory.

The D.C. Divas and Columbus Comets squared off at Falls Church High School, and the Divas celebrated their first ever appearance in Northern Virginia with the 12th playoff win in franchise history. The Divas’ 69-8 triumph was their most lopsided postseason win since 2003, when they defeated the Connecticut Crush, 76-0, for their first playoff victory.

By defeating the Comets, the Divas advance to the WFA conference semifinals against the top-ranked Boston Militia. On July 5, the Divas will travel to Boston, where they will face the Militia in the playoffs for the sixth consecutive season.

Tips for Exercising Success

 

Weight lifting, swimming, cycling, jogging, skiing, aerobic dancing, walking or any of dozens of other activities can improve your health. Whether it is a structured exercise program or just part of your daily routine, all exercise adds up to a healthier heart and mind. Here are some tips for exercising success:

• If you have been sedentary for a long time, are overweight, have a high risk of coronary heart disease or some other chronic health problem, see your doctor for a medical evaluation before beginning a physical activity program.
• Choose activities that are fun, not exhausting.
• Add variety. Try not to rely too much on one activity or repeating workout, but develop a repertoire of several that you can enjoy. That way, exercise will never seem boring or routine.
• Wear comfortable, properly fitted footwear and comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that is appropriate for the weather and the activity.
• Find a convenient time and place to do activities. Try to make it a habit, but be flexible. If you miss an exercise opportunity, work activity into your day another way.
• Use music to keep you entertained.
• Surround yourself with supportive people. Decide what kind of support you need. Do you want them to remind you to exercise? Ask about your progress? Participate with you regularly or occasionally? Allow you time to exercise by yourself? Go with you to a special event, such as a 10K walk/run? Be understanding when you get up early to exercise? Spend time with the children while you exercise? Try not to ask you to change your exercise routine?
• Share your activity time with others. Make a date with a family member, friend or co-worker. Be an active role model for your children.
• Don't overdo it. Do low- to moderate-level activities, especially at first. You can slowly increase the duration and intensity of your activities as you become more fit. Over time, work up to exercising three or four times per week for 30-60 minutes.
• Keep a record of your activities. Reward yourself at special milestones. Nothing motivates like success!

Some Alcohol Good?

DALLAS (CNN) -- Consuming two to six alcoholic drinks per week can greatly reduce the risk of sudden cardiac death, according to a new report from researchers at Harvard Medical School.

The Physicians' Health Study used data from 21,537 men over a 12-year period. Researchers found that men who had two to four drinks per week lessened their risk for sudden cardiac death by 60 percent. Those who had five to six drinks per week lowered their risk by 79 percent.

Though some alcohol is good, more may not be better. Rates of sudden cardiac death increased among people who had more than two drinks per day, the study found.

The research did not look at drinking patterns. However, it is generally agreed among scientists that binge drinking, or drinking large amounts of alcohol in brief periods, can cause abnormal heart rhythms that can lead to sudden cardiac death.

Though the study's findings are considered significant, its authors are not recommending that people start drinking.

"Based on the data, I wouldn't recommend that non-drinkers start drinking," said Christine M. Albert, M.D., lead researcher. "One has to consider all the risks and benefits of drinking alcohol. You don't know how likely a person is to become addicted to alcohol, and there is also the risk of cancer to consider."

Previous studies have found that heavy alcohol consumption may increase an individual's risk of certain types of cancer.

"Consuming two or more drinks per day has been associated with an increased breast cancer risk in women. This study was done only in men, so we can't be sure if our results would apply to women as well," said Albert.

Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is responsible for about half of all deaths from heart disease, the nation's biggest killer. SCD is usually caused by irregular heart rhythms. Heart attack, the death of heart muscle due to loss of blood supply, rarely causes SCD.

Prior studies have pointed to a similar beneficial effect of alcohol when consumed in moderate amounts. This study, however, is the largest to date. It is published in the American Heart Association's journal, Circulation.

Paradox: What kills may also cure

This Bug's Deadly Venom May Help Save Lives Regular readers of Cancer Defeated know our goal is to give information on natural remedies that can replace or complement conventional medicine's 'slash and burn' surgeries, chemotherapy and radiation. I've recently come across an unusual supplement that's being touted as a 'natural chemotherapy.' But unlike conventional chemo, this remedy has no side effects, and patients feel better when they're on it. In fact, pain relief seems to be the clearest, best-established effect of this substance. In one trial it was more effective than a powerful prescription pain killer. And if the studies hold up, it not only kills pain, but cancer cells, too! Here's what we were able to find. . . Continued below… Video of the Week: "Shocking Confessions of a Drug Company Insider" In this exposé, a top executive of a major pharmaceutical company spills the naked truth about the drugs you and your family take... which drugs heal, and which ones KILL... what doctors turn to when they don't know the cure... what they do when they themselves or their loved ones are stricken with disease or illness... what life-saving resource they insist should be in every home. Watch this must-see video now because your life -- or the life of your loved ones -- may depend on it. It's called Escozine, and this all-natural product contains serum that comes from the venom of the Caribbean blue scorpion, a relative of the spider. This species of scorpion, found in the Dominican Republic, grows to several inches in length, and its venom is described as "moderate". (I wouldn't want to find out exactly what that means.) A chemical in the bite of this creature has the power to heal as well as wound. Scientists have discovered a peptide in its venom called chlorotoxin. The same chemical that paralyzes the scorpion's prey also happens to target and destroy cancer cells. The Medolife company markets its Escozine product through companies operating in the U.S. and the Dominican Republic. They are in clinical trials and apparently aim to get FDA approval. The company reports that the product has: 89.5 percent success rate in clinical trials No side effects or toxicity Approval and certification for oncological treatments A cancer survivor named Peggy, posting on the Cancer Survivor Network page of the American Cancer Society, said, "I am still alive today because of Escozine. I have or had stage four metastatic Her2 positive breast cancer. I underwent two rounds of chemo and eight weeks of radiation. . .I had a double mastectomy and everything removed that could possibly get cancer. It finally was in my liver and both lungs when the doctor said I had two months to live. I started Escozine and eight weeks later my CAT scan showed the cancer retreating. I am now 18 months later and no detectable cancer." That's a remarkable story, but don't get carried away. It often happens that late stage cancer patients go into complete remission if they stumble on just the right treatment for them. But unfortunately, the same treatment may not be as effective for others. The evidence I've seen so far does not suggest that most users will experience as big a miracle Peggy did (how I wish – and pray!) But the anecdotal evidence paired with the scientific studies suggest that Escozine is worth a second look. It could put a sting on cancer cells! So how does scorpion venom help cancer patients manage their disease? A potent painkiller and inflammation fighter For starters, the serum used in Escozine appears to be a natural pain killer. In one study, groups of mice were either given: a) different amounts of blue scorpion serum, b) a powerful, pain killer called Paracetamol or c) neither substance (a control group). Compared to the control group, animals that took Paracetamol showed 47% less pain. However, those given high concentrations of blue scorpion serum exhibited 55% less pain than those that were not given any pain killers! In another study of mice with artificially induced inflammation, scientists gave one group an anti-inflammatory drug called Dexamet. A second group received Escozine and a third group got no medication. The group that received blue scorpion serum had up to 38 percent less inflammation than the control group. Medolife provides these study results as proof that Escozine can be used as a complement to traditional cancer therapies to help ease some of its side effects. But they're really excited about the studies that show… Escozine attacks cancer cells with a vengeance! More than 15 years of research show that thousands of people suffering different types of cancer and immune system disease have experienced significant relief from the Escozine serum. For example, one pre-clinical trial conducted by Medolife involved testing on abnormal cells from four types of malignancies. Investigators placed these damaged cells in test tubes and exposed them to blue scorpion serum. In the case of all four malignancies, the number of abnormal cells decreased after being exposed to the venom. Remarkably, one group of cells decreased by 60 percent after one week of exposure. It will take testing in live subjects to confirm these results found in lab cultures. Another eight-year open-label clinical study conducted at the University of California in San Diego involved 8,302 cancer patients with a variety of cancers in various stages of severity. Nine out of ten (89.5%) showed an improvement in the quality of life after using Escozine. Essentially, these scientific studies have shown that Escozine's health benefits include its ability to: Work cooperatively with cancer treatments to improve the body's immune system, thus enhancing its ability to fight against malignancies and cellular abnormalities. Quickly reduce pain and inflammation to increase comfort, improve range of motion and increase the quality of life. Starve malignant cells, depriving them of nutrition and energy needed to grow and wreak havoc on your body. Replenish minerals and vitamins lost during cancer treatments, such as calcium, magnesium, potassium, sodium, manganese, iron, zinc, copper, aluminum, selenium and more to keep your body running in optimal condition Improve T-cell response—that is, your body's natural mechanism for killing abnormal malignant cells. It's one thing to read scientific data and analyses. But it's something else altogether to hear from folks who have used a product. Grateful users sing its praises! Here are comments from some patients who used the supplement while undergoing cancer treatment: Russian patient E.R., undergoing treatment for cervical cancer, had this to say about her use of Escozine: "In four days, I noticed the pain was greatly reduced." Colorado, USA patient B.A, diagnosed with brain tumor cancer, exclaimed: "After I took Escozine with my chemotherapy, the side effects completely disappeared." Kansas, USA patient and breast cancer survivor P.H. stated that Escozine has "more potential for healing than any other medicine offered by my oncologist."  It's wonderful to learn a natural substance not only relieves pain, but, at least in some cases, totally cures cancer – AND is backed by a company that might gain mainstream approval of the treatment.
