Jonathan Drouin gave Halifax the boost it needed

Aidy Boothroyd says neither he nor Gareth Southgate has anything to prove before the FA pick Englands next manager. Southgates promotion to interim England manager for an initial four games has seen Boothroyd elevated to U21 boss as his replacement, but that period comes to an end next week following the senior squads friendly against Spain on Tuesday. England face Scotland in a World Cup Qualifier at Wembley on Friday ahead of that game, while the U21s host Italy on Thursday before a trip to play France, but Boothroyd insists he and Southgate have already shown their credentials. To be perfectly honest I dont think Gareth needs to audition and I dont think I do, said the ex-Watford manager, who has moved up from the U20s.We are what we are, people know us and know our character and know that we work together well as a team and work with the other development teams and the staff and everybody that works at the FA.

We have a really good relationship with everybody so weve both had the experience of management and weve both worked with a lot of players so you just carry on and do what you have to do and what will be will be, Im sure. Boothroyd has led the U21s to victories over Kazakhstan as well as Bosnia and Herzegovina in his two games in charge and is expecting the FA to conduct a relaxed process when determining the permanent positions. Whether I go back to the U20s, stay with the U21s or go and work on the ground staff I will have to just wait and see, he added. Boothroyd is expecting an informal selection process from the FA Dan (Ashworth, technical director) is very hands-on, I see him every day just about or I speak to him every day and the same with Gareth.We work very closely because the 21s and the 20s are close age groups so I am sure it will be very informal and we will all know. Despite their close relationship, Boothroyd joked there was one reason he wouldnt always respond to Southgate.Very often I wouldnt take his calls because he wanted my players but apart from that we get on very well, he told Sky Sports News HQ. Hes stepped up for the four games, Ive stepped up for the four games.Well bring something different because were different personalities but well both want the same thing. We want England teams to do well.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- After blowing a 16-point lead to its arch-rival last season, Florida State was determined not to let it happen again Thursday night.The seventh-ranked Seminoles were able to keep the pressure on the No. 23 Gators and steadily pulled away during the second half in an 83-58 victory.Since a two-point loss to top-ranked UConn on Nov. 14, Florida State (9-1) has won eight straight. None though might have meant more than beating its in-state rival for the fourth time in their last five meetings.I wish I could say I expected this, Florida State coach Sue Semrau said about the 25-point win, which is the fourth-largest margin it has defeated Florida. This is a big win. We want to be a great defensive team and we continue to get better.Ivey Slaughter got her 20th career double-double (13 points, 10 rebounds) as she was one of five FSU players to score in double figures. The Seminoles had 17 offensive rebounds, outrebounded the Gators by 10 overall and had a 19-2 advantage in second-chance points.Everyone on this team can guard which makes it easier to get stops. It just comes down to toughness, Slaughter said.Leticia Romero led Florida State with 21 points, Shakayla Thomas added 16, Brittany Brown 13 and Imani Wright 12.In all but one of the games during the winning streak, Florida State has held a lead of at least 21 points or more.Ronni Williams led the Gators (6-3) with 20 points. It was Floridas second loss to a ranked team in five days, with both coming on the road.I am very disappointed. It was a weak rebounding effort by us. We did a poor job, especially in the first half of boxing them out, Florida coach Amanda Butler said.BIG PICTUREFlorida: The Gators came into the game averaging 74.9 points but were held to a season low. They are 0-3 when scoring fewer than 70 points this season and 51-99 in Amanda Butlers 10 seasons at her alma mater.Florida State: The Seminoles were 2-6 against Top 25 teams during the regular season last year, which is a big reason why they didnt host the first two rounds of last seasons NCAA Tournament.dddddddddddd FSU though is 2-1 this season with the lone loss being by two points to top-ranked UConn. The win should also help bolster their RPI rating as the season progresses.POLL IMPLICATIONSFlorida State could make a case for the top five after a decisive win over a ranked opponent while Florida is likely to drop out after another loss. This marked the first time in 73 meetings that both teams were ranked when facing each other.KEY SEQUENCEFlorida State held a 47-39 lead with 5:11 remaining in the third quarter when Imani Wright fouled Delicia Washington and was also called for a technical for a shove after the foul. Eleanna Christinaki originally went to the line and made two free throws but officials should have had Washington shoot first.After the officials realized their error and corrected it, they took Christinakis points off the board. Washington missed both of her shots and then Christinaki was 1 of 2 when she retook the technical shots. Florida got the ball off the inbound but Dyandria Washington missed a 3-pointer.That was a huge sequence. They tried to make a game of it but we were able to keep our poise, Semrau said.The Gators were able to get to 49-43 before FSU scored 12 straight points to put it out of reach.UP NEXTFlorida: The Gators will remain in Northwest Florida to face North Carolina A&T on Sunday in a neutral-site game at Gulf Coast State College in Panama City.Florida State: The Seminoles are at UAB on Saturday. The two teams met last year, which FSU won 84-44.---More AP college basketball at http://collegebasketball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25---Follow Joe Reedy on Twitter at www.twitter.com/joereedy ' ' '
