Saturday Sports Update
Top: The Buffalo Bills will be honoring safety Damar Hamlin in multiple ways during their regular season finale against the New England Patriots on Sunday. One of the ways is having the "3" on each of the 30-yard lines on the field at Highmark Stadium outlined in color; each NFL stadium around the country is doing the same thing. Meanwhile, Bills players will also be wearing "3" patches on their jerseys. The actions follow Hamlin going into cardiac arrest during Monday night's game in Cincinnati. Photos by the Buffalo Bills
Bottom left: Friday marked another step on the road to recovery for Hamlin. The team announced that he is no longer on a breathing tube, and he also had a conversation with the team via FaceTime from his hospital bed in Cincinnati. Head coach Sean McDermott told reporters that the conversation was a surprise for his players. During the conversation, Hamlin told his teammates, "Love you boys." Photo by the Buffalo Bills

The Hillbillies jumped out to an early 13-point lead, but that advantage disappeared by the 3rd quarter, and they wound up losing 73-51. Fry was one of three Fredonia players in double figures on the night with 11 points. Photo by Greg Larson
