Josh Brillante is content to keep plugging away in Sydney FCs midfield - until the next time he gets a crack at goal from distance.Until Saturday night Brillantes professional career read six years, six clubs, about 100 appearances, zero goals.He could hardly have altered that last statistic with more pizzazz at Suncorp Stadium, taking advantage of Brisbanes first-half sloppiness to barrel home a 20-metre strike that proved unstoppable even for man of the match Michael Theo.The expertly taken finish belied Brillantes apparent lack of taste for the back of the net.Yet the Bundaberg-born 23-year-old described it as my type of goal from his ideal shooting range, and the perfect platform on which to build another element of his game.Im quite happy to get the monkey off the back, now hopefully I can pull a few more out of the bag. Brillante told AAP.My position is not a position you really expect to be scoring all the time, but its something I want to add to my game and definitely I think I can do that.Because if youre a midfielder who can score goals its definitely a big positive.Until the net beckons again, hes more than happy to continue making inroads in a vital but largely unsung role.Brillantes central pairing with Brandon ONeill has added enviable balance to Sydneys squad, their positional discipline and strong distribution helping the team tick all the way up the pitch.Thats part and parcel of being a midfielder, he said.Working away and giving help to the defenders and a bit of support to the attack, he said.Im not too fussed. I just do what I can for the team.While Thomas Kristensens second-half equaliser for the Roar forced runaway A-League leaders Sydney to drop their first points of the season, the Sky Blues display will further boost confidence before hosting winless Adelaide this Saturday.For Brillante, just playing regularly in a successful team has been a revelation following two well-documented turbulent years in Italy with Fiorentina.That was an important thing I wanted to bring back because it was so frustrating that I wasnt playing much - it was hard to enjoy it, he said.At the moment Im enjoying the way were playing and being on the pitch. Thats a huge thing for me. Jeff Bagwell Astros Jersey . Miikka Kiprusoff had just announced his retirement after a decade-long run in Calgary and it would be up to Berra and Ramo to fill the void.

Rennia Davis, a 6-foot-2 wing and the No. 12 prospect in the espnW HoopGurlz Top 100, announced Sunday that she has signed with Tennessee.The senior at Ribault (Jacksonville, Florida) signed her national letter of intent on Wednesday but kept it a secret.I woke up [Tuesday] morning, and throughout the day all I could think about was the color orange, Davis said. My top three choices came down to Kansas, Maryland and Tennessee. I also considered Oklahoma and Georgia Tech. I dont like to rush, so I took my time in the process, and Tennessee is my choice.Davis, who helped lead Ribault to a Florida state title as a junior, is, simply put, a gamer. She wants the ball in her hands at crunch time. And she knows what to do with it. Shes ultra-athletic with deep range and is explosive off the dribble. After winning the state title, Davis lifted Ribault to a national title at the Dicks Sporting Goods high school tournament at New Yorkks Madison Square Garden in April.dddddddddddd Davis scored 23 points in the final and was named MVP.To say shes off to a fast start this season would be an understatement.

She followed that up with a 43-point game on Wednesday.Davis is the fourth member of Holly Warlicks class, which leapfrogs Connecticut and moves to the top of the class rankings.

But, ultimately, it was my decision. ' ' '
