(STATS) -- For one of the top passing offenses in the FCS to have two of the nations leading receivers isnt a major surprise.Having two quarterbacks capable of running that attack certainly is.Thats just the case at Lehigh with Nick Shafnisky and Brad Mayes, playing the role of mentor and mentee while becoming close friends despite competing with one another. Its not even clear which one -- or maybe both -- will play this weekend with the Mountain Hawks looking to extend one of the FCS longest winning streaks and inch closer to a national ranking.Shafnisky is a senior captain who is No. 1 on the depth chart, but hes had a nagging ankle problem that forced him out of last weeks 35-3 whipping of Georgetown and caused him to sit out at Yale earlier this month. All Mayes did that day was set a school record with 524 passing yards and match another with six TD passes in a 63-35 victory, earning Patriot League offensive player of the week -- an honor Shafnisky won the previous two weeks.Mayes came off the bench for an ailing Shafnisky last Saturday and was impressive again, completing 19 of 26 passes for 247 yards and two touchdowns in less than three quarters.Coach Andy Coen, whose team ranks fourth in the FCS with 350.3 passing yards per game, may need to start the sophomore again because hes not sure if Shafnisky will play this week against Holy Cross.Were blessed to have these two guys that are actually tremendous players, Coen said. And Nicks been a tremendous leader and I think that leadership is really starting to rub off on Brad, which is great.Mayes backs up his coachs belief, soaking up every last bit of guidance the unselfish Shafnisky offers.My biggest mentor so far would be (Shafnisky), Mayes said. I dont think Ive had anyone really in my life so far whos been able to teach me things on and off the field.Even realizing Mayes is his heir apparent, Shafnisky has embraced the relationship. If anything, maybe the competition has fueled him to be better because Shafnisky is the ninth-rated passer in the FCS.Having Troy Pelletier and Gatlin Casey as options down the field has made both Shafnisky and Mayes look good. The junior wideouts are 1-2 in the FCS in receiving yards.Whats been really good about our passing attack, it hasnt been these long, long throws, Coen said. Its been these shorter throws when guys are running in stride and then you just cant catch em.While Pelletier leads the way with 838 yards and also ranks atop the FCS with 60 receptions, no pass-catcher in the nation has been hotter than Casey. His 677 receiving yards over the past four weeks are the most of anyone in the FCS or FBS, and his nine TD receptions in that span are tied for the most.Hes doing a great job for us, Coen said. He has tremendous speed. Once he puts his foot in the ground, he can really take off.So has his team.Lehigh (5-2, 2-0) has won five in a row, and the only FCS teams with longer winning streaks are Sam Houston State and The Citadel. Those powers are both 6-0 and rank No. 1 and 5, respectively, in the STATS FCS Top 25.The Mountain Hawks have an outside chance to join them in the poll next week. They received the fifth-most votes of any team not to make the latest Top 25 and are facing a Crusaders squad which just handed previously ranked Harvard its first loss.If you watch the game tape, it wasnt a fluke, Coen said of Holy Cross (3-4, 1-1), which had six sacks against the Crimson and leads the Patriot League with 20.The fleet-footed Shafnisky is more capable of escaping the pressure. Hes rushed for 177 yards and five touchdowns.Mayes isnt known for his scrambling ability, but if given the chance Saturday, hes now better equipped to run from trouble than he was a couple of years ago -- thanks greatly to Shafnisky.He teaches me leadership skills off the field which Ive really excelled in, and just on the field being able to look at things like reading a defense, or going through your reads and being able to escape the pocket and make a play, which hes really good at, Mayes said. Other than that, hes just one of my best friends. Wholesale China Jerseys .

The Boston Celtics waived former first-round pick R.J. Hunter in advance of Mondays deadline to trim the regular-season roster to a maximum of 15 players.Unable to find a trade that could have saved the team from eating salary or brought back an asset, the team elected to simply move on from Hunter, the 28th pick of the 2015 draft.The one part of the business that, no matter what, every time sucks, is when you have to make roster decisions, said Celtics coach Brad Stevens, who recruited Hunter when Hunter played high school basketball in Indianapolis. Because its real people and certainly Ive known R.J. for a long time. I think hes really improved, I think hes gotten better. I had a pretty decent long talk with him this morning and I told him this is part of the path to a great career, right? And I truly believe hell have a great career.Boston had been exploring possible deals for both Hunter and 2014 first-round pick James Young in the final days before the final roster trim. Rivals knew the Celtics had to cut a player and were reluctant to part with anything of value in order to facilitate a deal.Celtics president of basketball operations Danny Ainge said he believes Hunter will find another NBA opportunity.It was a very difficult decision and I guess thats a good thing, said Ainge. We had a really good training camp, a lot of guys played really well and theres really no reason why we waived R.J. other than we had 16 bodies and that position is probably needed less than we need other positions. But I will say that James and Jordan [Mickey] and Demetrius [Jackson and], Terry Rozier had fantastic training camps.The Celtics came to camp with an overstocked roster knowing they might have to simply cut a former first-round pick. The team waived second-round pick Ben Bentil on Friday.?Bentil signed with the Indiana Pacers on Monday, but he is likely ticketed for their D-League team in Fort Wayne.Boston will carry two rookies on this years roster in No. 3 pickk Jaylen Brown and No.dddddddddddd 45 pick Demetrius Jackson, who provides emergency ballhandling depth. Two more 2016 draft picks are stashed overseas in Guerschon Yabusele and Ante Zizic, while another second-rounder, Abdel Nader, is expected to land with the teams D-League affiliate in Maine.Celtics brass decided that, because Hunter and Young had some positional redundancy, the team had to simply pick one to move forward with. The front office wrestled with the decision, but, ultimately, the 15th player on the roster was unlikely to impact the teams success during the 2016-17 season.James won the job. He played well. Day in and day out, the last six weeks, he won the job, said Ainge, who also challenged Young, the 17th pick in the 2014 draft who just turned 21, to show more progress in his third year.Young said he was eager to show the team they made the right decision keeping him around.I feel like this is even better than the draft really, earning this position, said Young. Im really blessed to be a part of this and [there is] not much I can do but keep getting better.Ainge was at peace with having to move on from a first-round pick.Right now the hardest thing is I like R.J. and weve invested time in him, Ainge said. But I see Jaylen and Terry and Jordan Mickey and Demetrius Jackson and Abdel Nader, who had a terrific summer with us, and the two kids over in Europe [Yabusele and Zizic] that are playing fantastic right now. I mean the draft is the draft, as we all know. You have some good selections and some that dont fit and dont work for you, so Im not disappointed in that regard at all. Im glad we have another pick next year and well keep taking our swings and try to find the right guys.The Celtics used a first-round pick received from the Los Angeles Clippers as part of the Doc Rivers exchange in 2013 to draft Hunter.
