SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) — Hurricane Lee charged through warm Atlantic waters Friday night and threatened to unleash heavy swells across the northeast Caribbean. It became the season’s first Category 5 storm before beginning to weaken.Down to a Category 3 hurricane by late Friday, it was not expected to make landfall, but meteorologists warned it would generate dangerous waves of up to 15 feet (5 meters) across the northern coast of Puerto Rico and other nearby islands. Lee was on a path that would take it a couple hundred miles (kilometers) northeast of the Caribbean, and tropical storm conditions were not forecast for the region.“Although the hurricane is incredibly powerful, its wind field is not particularly large,” the National Hurricane Center said.The hurricane was centered about 440 miles (705 kilometers) east of the northern Leeward Islands late Friday.

WESTWOOD — Xaverian may have major college football recruits at quarterback and wide receiver, but as long as coach Al Fornaro is leading the Hawks, the thought of them abandoning the run for the pass is silly talk.On Friday night, behind senior back Denzil Pierre, Xaverian ran to its heart’s content in a 32-21 season-opening victory over Everett.Pierre rumbled for 204 yards and a touchdown on 24 carries, while Michigan State-bound quarterback Henry Hasselbeck rushed for three scores.It was uneven at times, but Fornaro will take the victory over a quality opponent and move on.“Very good,’ Fornaro said of Pierre’s play, which also included a two-point rush. “And we had the other guy, Mike O’Connor (54 yards on eight carries) play a little bit. The ability to run the ball does a lot of good things. It keeps it out of their hands. I’m not Woody (Hayes) out of Ohio State, saying three things can happen when you throw the ball, and two of them ar...
