Snowboarding

Holland second overall

Sandpoint’s Nate Holland took a beating from the wind and finished 32nd in the Snowboard Cup race at Stoneham, Quebec, but still held on to his overall second place in the final World Cup SBX standings.

“Nate was pretty bummed,” said coach Peter Foley. “He’s had a great season and had a shot at the title, but he had some really bad luck in the qualifiers.”

Cowboys’ super fan dies

Wilford “Crazy Ray” Jones, the boisterous Dallas Cowboys fan who energized crowds for decades with his cowboy getup and sideline cheerleading, died Saturday. He was 76.

Jones died at his home, said Tracy Moberly, a friend of the family. Diabetes and cardiovascular disease were listed as causes of death, according to the Dallas County medical examiner’s office.

Known as the Cowboys’ unofficial mascot, Jones entertained fans with sideline antics and magic tricks while wearing his signature chaps, six-shooter and blue vest.

Though he was not paid by the Cowboys, he was given a special parking space at Texas Stadium.
