Jones, Team USA win gold
The 2013 U.S. National Junior Hockey Team won gold Saturday at the 2013 International Ice Hockey World Junior Championships in Russia.
Among those standing on the podium was Plano native Seth Jones, an alternate captain for the team.
The defenseman, a candidate for the top pick in the 2013 NHL Entry Draft, had the second-most points among defensemen in the tournament with one goal and six assists.
The U.S. National Junior Team won the tournament for the third time (2004, 2010) by defeating Sweden in the finals, 3-1.
"I couldn't be more proud of our players and staff," said Phil Housley, U.S head coach. "This was a total team effort throughout the tournament and it was a very difficult challenge tonight against an excellent Swedish team."

Gentry commits to SMU
Plano West senior Mason Gentry's 2012 campaign marked the first time the defensive end had ever played organized high school football.
There's plenty more to come for the Wolves' defensive standout after committing to SMU on Monday.
Gentry had also received interest from Louisiana Tech and TCU during his recruiting venture, which will end in University Park for the 6-foot-7, 250-pound lineman.
Figueroa returns to cage
For the second straight year, West Plano Crossfit-trained mixed martial artist Edwin Figueroa will be on the UFC's Super Bowl weekend card.
Figueroa returns to action for the first time in a year on Feb. 2 when he meets Francisco Rivera at UFC 156 from the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas.
A McKinney native, Figueroa competed just once in 2012 -- a split-decision victory over Alex Caceres at UFC 143 during which Caceres was penalized two points for kicks to the groin. The points proved decisive in the decision, with the win upping Figueroa to 2-1 in the UFC and 9-1 overall.
Figueroa was scheduled to fight in June at UFC on FX 4 against Ken Stone but was forced out due to injury.
