AKRON, Ohio -- For a chance to see LeBron James, Rodneka Price drove seven hours and stood in line for another six. "I might cry when I see him," she said. James is being welcomed back Friday night by the city where he first bounced a basketball. The NBA superstar is being celebrated with an event expected to draw more than 25,000 people to InfoCision Stadium. James grew up in Akron and has maintained a strong connection with his hometown. James recently re-signed with the Cleveland Cavaliers after four years in Miami. To show its appreciation, Akron is throwing James a homecoming party to coincide with an annual "Wheels for Education" event hosted by his familys foundation. Fans began lining up at 11 a.m. to get a prime seat to see James, the four-time league MVP who hopes to end a 50-year championship drought in Cleveland. Melissa Rumner and her son, Nick, were first in a long line which wrapped around the stadium on the University of Akrons campus. "We had to be here to welcome him back," Rumner said as 10-year-old Nick stood by wearing one of the white No. 23 jerseys James popularized during his seven seasons with the Cavs. "Were so happy to have him back." Nick was confident James would return to Cleveland. "I knew he was coming back," said the red-head, who was counting down the minutes before the gates opened. Price packed up a car of six people and drove to Ohio for the first time so she could help welcome back James. She said his announcement that he was returning to his home to try and win Cleveland its first championship since 1964 touched her. "It all makes sense," she said, wearing a "Return Of The King" T-shirt. "He made a promise and hes going to stick to it." Ruben Sierra Rangers Jersey .

Halak, 28, split his eighth NHL seasons between the St. Louis Blues, Buffalo Sabres and Washington Capitals, compiling a 29-13-7 record in 52 games.With Saskatchewan running roughshod over everyone, and Winnipegs opponents finding plenty of success running the ball against them, it will indeed be the run game at the forefront of the Blue Bombers and Roughriders annual Labour Day Classic at Mosaic in Regina. Quarterback Drew Willy may have a sore finger on his throwing hand, but its a pair of lineup changes in the Winnipeg trenches that could make a significant impact in the 51st Labour Day Weekend meeting between the prairie rivals. After missing last weeks 24-16 win over the Alouettes with a toe/foot injury, defensive end and promotional face of the franchise Jason Vega is a healthy omission from Winnipegs 46-man roster. "No, it will be Kashawn Fraser again," said head coach Mike OShea before boarding the bus with his team to Regina on Friday afternoon. "Kashawn played at a pretty high level in the last game - practiced at a high level all week." "A player got hurt. Another player stepped in (and) did extremely well. He let him compete again during the practice week, and Jason Vega did extremely well also, but as weve done in the past its hard to make changes to the roster when were coming off a win, right? We have a lot of depth on defence." It will be the rookie Frasers fifth dress and third start on the Bombers defensive line this season. Another change Winnipeg will make - but in the case of have-to more than choose-to - is starting an International at right guard with Canadian Patrick Neufeld recovering from an injury to his left leg suffered in the fourth quarter against Montreal. "The time that I did spend (on the practice roster), it was a humbling experience. I basically got better at what I can do. I basically got better in my technique," said Jarvis Jones, who comes off the PR to dress for his first game since starting Winnipegs final seven games of 2013 at tackle. "Its a lot different than tackle. The footwork and stuff is different... Its just your angles are differentt, basically.dddddddddddd The way you leave the line. The way you attack guys, thats a little different at guard than tackle." Jones will be working to keep his quarterback protected from a fervent Roughriders pass rush that includes CFL sack-leader John Chick (12). But it was an incident in practice this week that startled many regarding the health of Drew Willy. Late in practice Thursday, Winnipegs first-year starter smacked his throwing hand on the helmet of defensive back Don Unamba and was in noticeable pain. The team took a walkthrough pace on Friday as Willy often squeezed his rarely-gloveless fist between infrequent short throws. "I just really wanted to see the most pain I could feel in the finger," answered Willy when questioned why he went without his throwing glove the day after the incident. "I plan on being out there (on Sunday). Thats really all Im going to say about it." "I was more frustrated about it because getting hurt in practice, you never want that to happen." NOTES: Even with International Jarvis Jones in for National Patrick Neufeld, Winnipeg wont have to make any ratio adjustments. They have started eight Canadians for the latter half of their season, making the seven starters this week Matt Bucknor, Teague Sherman, and Jake Thomas on defence, and Rory Kohlert, Cory Watson, Chris Greaves, and Steve Morley on offence. ... Joining Neufeld on the sidelines at practice this week was Canadian rookie O-lineman Matthias Goossen. Mike OShea says hes just "banged up." ... Also off the 46 this week is running back Paris Cotton, and linebacker Abe Kromah who came in last week for the now-returning Ejiro Kuale (shoulder). ... Canadian Louie Richardson returns following a glute injury that kept him out the last two weeks. ... Offensive lineman Dan Knapp (various), linebacker/safety Johnny Sears (hamstring/quad), and cornerback Donovan Alexander (knee) all practiced this week but remain on the one-game injured list. ' ' '
