SPARTANBURG, S.C. -- The Carolina Panthers made history on Thursday by holding a joint practice with a high school football team.The Spartanburg High School Vikings went through warmups and had a chance to interact with Carolinas coaches and players at Wofford College before breaking off and doing their own work on an adjacent field.Panthers director of community relations Riley Fields said it is the first time an NFL team has practiced alongside a high school team.Fields said the organization wanted to celebrate the NFLs Play 60 initiative by doing something special and unique. He said the Panthers needed to clear everything with the NFL, the NCAA and state high school officials before the project initiative was granted.Everyone said, `Wow this is a great idea, Fields said. ... We felt it was a special day for our players and for the Spartanburg High School football players.Panthers coach Ron Rivera said when Fields initially approached him about the idea he was against it. But the NFL Coach of the Year soon changed his mind once he realized it could be a huge benefit to the high school athletes.To me its about the love of the game and bringing it back to the community, Rivera said.Spartanburg High School coach Chris Miller said he thought it was a joke at first when his office received a call about practicing with the Panthers.It is just an unbelievable opportunity for us, Miller said.Miller said watching an NFL team run through similar drills to what they run in practice was an important lesson for his players.Were constantly talking about it and they are doing it over and over again. Now they see guys who have paid the price and look where it has gotten them, Miller said.Rivera said the experience was also fun for his players.When you talked to some of our guys they had a chance to reminisce about the good old days, Rivera said. I was standing over there watching (the Vikings) earlier and it took me back to playing at Seaside High School. It was kind of neat.Linebacker Thomas Davis, the elder statesman of the Panthers, said it was an opportunity he would have loved to have had as a teenager growing up playing football in Shellman, Georgia.It will go a long way in these kids lives knowing they had an opportunity to practice with Panthers, Davis said. I impressed upon the kids the importance of coming out here and working hard and being able to do your job and listen to your coach.Davis, who regularly exchanges trash talk with Cam Newton during practice, also had a little fun with the high school players.He even convinced one of them to talk some trash to Newton.I was kind of feeding him stuff to say to Cam, Davis said with a laugh. He delivered it pretty well.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFLVapormax Plus Pánská . The mixed zone is not a place to make friends. Nike Vapormax Panske .

There are fears for Ethan Lowes immediate playing career with the North Queensland back-rower being ruled out for the rest of the NRL finals series with a spinal cord injury.It had emerged before the Cowboys home sudden-death semi-final against Brisbane on Friday night that Lowe had been struggling with a neck complaint from last weeks qualifying final loss to Melbourne.But Cowboys coach Paul Green still surprised a big media contingent in Townsville on Thursday when he revealed the full extent of Lowes injury.Ethan Lowes season is finished, he said.Unfortunately, he has injured his spinal cord. As you can imagine, it is pretty serious and pretty sensitive.Outside of that, I cant comment too much. Its really devastating.Green was saying little when pressed further on Lowes injury or even how it had occurred during the Storm defeat.As a I said, due to the nature of the injury and the sensitivity surrounding it, I am not going to comment any further, Green said.The 25-year-old Lowe had enjoyed a breakout year in 2016, at one stage earning a Queensland State of Origin 18th man call-up.He had played every game - all 25 - this season, averaging 14 hit-ups, 33 tackles and more than 120m per match.The CCowboys will be hoping Lowe can follow in the footsteps of fellow North Queensland forward James Tamou who made a successful recovery last year from a serious neck injury.ddddddddddddCoen Hess, just 20, will start in the back row for Lowe with 2015 premiership interchange player John Asiata added to the bench.Queensland under-20 and Junior Kangaroo rep Hess has played just six games this season but that has included the past four for the Cowboys.His development pathway has been good, Green said of Hess.He has handled every step up he has been given. Its a great opportunity for him on a big occasion.But he has done a good job for us at the back end of the season.Green was just as comfortable adding Asiata to his squad.John has played in some big games, he said.He was a part of our grand final team. Weve got full confidence in those boys (Asiata, Hess).Green is sweating on winger Antonio Winterstein (ribs) but had earlier officially ruled out centre Kane Linnett (hamstring).He confirmed eight-game player Javid Bowen would run out in the grand final re-match for Linnett.
