all that, Riggs said, and
with the technology
came more efficiency,
more prescriptions
coming through, and
additional insurance
companies to bill.
Even with automation, however, the pharmacy has always kept
its small-town, independent touch. Riggs
often counsels people
about their conditions
and medications, such
as diabetes, and is
always on the lookout
for coupons or offers
to save his customers
money. Health Aid has
always had a delivery
service, as well as
allowing customers to
have charge accounts.
As the only independent pharmacy
remaining in Mason
County, the employees
at the store are more
like family, according
to Riggs. Employee
Connie Bumgarner has
been at the store the
entire 34 years Riggs
has owned it. Other
employees have been
there for 14, 18, 26 and
27 years. Birthday potluck dinners were the
norm throughout the
decades.
Dan and Cathy raised
POMEROY — The Victim
Assistance Program will be
honoring local law enforcement officers.
Alexis Schwab, the Civil
Protection Order Advocate
of the Meigs County Victim
Assistance Program, shared
that Jan. 9 (today) is National Law Enforcement Appreciation Day and was marked
as such in 2015. She said
the purpose of the holiday
is to thank law enforcement
officers for the daily sacrifice
they make for the society and
to spread encouragement
to these dedicated men and
women.
“The officers put their
lives on the line everyday,”
said Schwab.
She expressed the Victim
Assistance Program has been
recognizing Meigs County’s
local law enforcement for
the past two years by giving
them small tokens of appreciation. Schwab said last
year they gave all the local
officers M&M’s. However,
Schwab shared she will be
personally delivering DumDum bouquets and donuts to
the Meigs County Sheriff’s
Office, Middleport, Pomeroy, Rutland, Syracuse, and
Racine Police Departments.
Dum-Dum bouquets and
donuts will be available for
Division of Wildlife Officer
Chris Gilkey and the Major
Crimes Task Force of GalliaMeigs. She said the Victim
Assistance Program will also
be hanging up signs and flyers throughout Pomeroy and
the local law enforcement
will be receiving recognition
on their Facebook page.
Schwab expressed the
importance of showing
appreciation for law enforcement because these officers
put on a gun and badge
everyday and go to work
never knowing if they will
make it home that night. She
said people need to thank

Dan and Cathy Riggs are pictured as they stand behind the counter of Health Aid Pharmacy in
New Haven, a business they have owned for the past 34 years. Dan officially retired in the last
two weeks, and sold the business last Tuesday to Ed Zatta. Zatta is the owner of Swisher and
Lohse Pharmacy in Pomeroy, Ohio, as well as other independent pharmacies in Athens, Ohio,
and Ripley, W.Va.
A prescription for happiness
Longtime pharmacist retires
By Mindy Kearns
Special to the Register
NEW HAVEN, W.Va.
— Longtime pharmacist and businessman
Dan Riggs filled his last
prescription recently
as the owner of Health
Aid Pharmacy in New
Haven, W.Va.
Riggs, along with
wife Cathy, owned the
Bend Area pharmacy
for the past 34 years.
He officially retired in
the last two weeks, and
last Tuesday signed the
paperwork to sell the
business, which will
remain open.
Riggs began his
pharmacy career in
1976 after graduating
from Ohio State University. He and Cathy
moved to Middleport,
Ohio, because it was
halfway between their
parents, who lived in
South Point, Ohio, and
Rainelle, W.Va.
He spent the next
seven years as a pharmacist at Dutton Drug
Store in Middleport.
Riggs said after working there a while, Mr.
Dutton would put him
in charge when he went
south for the winter. It
was then, Riggs said,
that he knew he wanted to own a business
himself.
That opportunity
came in August 1983,
when he learned
Health Aid Pharmacy
was for sale. Dan and
Cathy purchased the
pharmacy and later
made the move to New
Haven in 1986.
Part pharmacy and
part retail, the store
offers everything from
medicines and medical
supplies, to greeting
cards, party and school
supplies, gifts, and
floral items. In 1990,
the couple bought the
property next door and
built on, doubling the
size of the retail operation.
Over the years, Riggs
said he has seen many
changes. When he first
bought the pharmacy,
patient profiles were
kept in a box on paper
cards. When a person
came in for medicine,
he had to locate their
card, write down the
prescription or refill,
hand type a label, and
bill the insurance company by hand.

Why not President Oprah? In Trump era, Democrats hail idea
By Thomas Beaumont
and Steve Peoples
Associated Press
DES MOINES, Iowa —
Oprah Winfrey’s impassioned call for “a brighter
morning even in our darkest nights” at the Golden
Globes has Democratic
Party activists buzzing
about the media superstar and the 2020 presidential race — even if it’s
only a fantasy.
Even so, for Democrats
in early voting states,
and perhaps for a public
that largely disapproves
of President Donald
Trump’s job performance,
the notion of a popular
media figure as a presidential candidate is not
as strange as it once
seemed, given the New
York real estate mogul
and reality TV star now
in the White House.
“Look, it’s ridiculous
— and I get that. But, at
the same time, politics
is ridiculous right now,”
said Iowa Democratic
operative Brad Anderson, a former statewide
candidate who also
ran President Barack
Obama’s 2012 re-election
campaign in Iowa.
Winfrey’s speech as
she accepted the Cecil B.
DeMille lifetime achievement award on Sunday
touched on her humble
upbringing and childhood
wonder in civil rights
heroes.
But it was her exhortation of the legions of
women who have called
out sexual harassers —
and her dream of a day
“when nobody has to
say ‘me too’ again” —
that got some political
operatives, in early voting
states such as Iowa and
New Hampshire, thinking Winfrey might be
just what the Democrats
need.
“I think we need more
role models like her that
are speaking to young
women and trying to
restore some hope. The
election of Donald Trump
was a devastating setback
for little girls,” said Liz
Purdy, who led Democrat
Hillary Clinton’s 2008
New Hampshire presidential primary campaign.
Trump’s job approval
rating sat at just 32
percent in December,
according to an Associated Press-NORC poll.
And though polls show
his approval up slightly
since, Trump is the least
popular first-year president on record. He has
also been accused by
multiple women of sexual
misconduct, though he
has vehemently denied
the allegations.
Winfrey, in September
and October, publicly
dismissed the notion of
seeking the nation’s
highest office, though
she noted that Trump’s
victory made her rethink
the requirements of the
office.
A representative for
Winfrey did not reply to
“I think lessons we all
learned from watching
Hillary’s run, and how
her ambition was unfavorably and unfairly viewed,
coupled with Oprah’s
existing popularity, could
give Oprah a strong
start,” Palmieri said.
That’s not to say
Winfrey can’t claim any
significant political influence. It was she who
starred in one of the biggest moments of the 2008
Democratic presidential
nominating campaign.
Amid the bitter battle
of Clinton and Obama for
the early edge in the 2008
Democratic nominating
race, Winfrey headlined

assistance. The report
calls for expediting federal permitting to allow
for broadband internet
expansion in rural areas
and for making it easier
for providers to place cell
towers on federal lands.
Trump was set to
make two moves on
rural broadband Monday, with plans to sign
an executive order and
a memo that the White
House described as
“incremental,” but the
start of an effort to make
progress on the issue.
White House officials
said all work was in the
early stages and did not
offer an overall timeline.
Officials noted the price
tag for rural broadband
expansion has been estimated at $80 billion, but
said the administration
had not determined a
cost.
Starling said Trump
will use the appearance
to highlight the impact
of the tax overhaul on
farmers and small businesses. The president
will also take credit for
working to roll back the
Obama administration’s
interpretation of the
Clean Water Act, which
had greatly expanded the
list of bodies of water
subject to federal regulation. The Farm Bureau
ran a public relations
campaign against the rule
and called it “dangerous
and unlawful.”
The Agriculture and
Rural Prosperity Task
Force report will also
highlight the importance
of addressing the opioid
crisis, which has disproportionately affected
rural communities, Starling said.
Briefing reporters Friday before the president’s
speech, Starling said
Trump will call on Congress to renew the farm
bill this year. The massive federal legislation
funds federal agriculture
and food policy, and it
provides for rural communities.
Trump formed the task
force, which includes representatives from Cabinet
agencies and independent agencies like the
Federal Communications
Commission, in an April

NASHVILLE, Tenn. —
President Donald Trump
is set to pitch his efforts
to help rural America,
promoting his tax overhaul law and economic
development plans on
a visit to Tennessee on
Monday. He’s also reserving a seat at the national
college football championship game.
Trump will become the
first president in a quarter-century to address the
annual convention of the
American Farm Bureau
Federation. With the
trip to Nashville, he will
unveil a report the White
House says will include
proposals to stimulate a
segment of the national
economy that has lagged
behind others.
The White House
released excerpts of the
president’s prepared
remarks Monday. Trump
plans to say that most
of the benefits of the
legislation are “going to
working families, small
businesses and family
farmers.”
The $1.5 trillion package that Trump signed
into law last month provides generous tax cuts
for corporations and the
wealthiest Americans,
and more modest reductions for middle- and lowincome individuals and
families.
Trump also plans to
tout the doubling of the
threshold for the estate
tax and the ability for
companies to immediately write off the full
cost of new equipment.
He plans to say that
“in every decision we
make, we are honoring
America’s proud farming
legacy.”
Central to the report
will be the assessment
that the “provider for an
equalization among rural
America is connectivity;
that high-speed internet
should remain a high priority for the administration,” said Ray Starling,
the special assistant to
Trump criticized ESPN Jemelle Hill tweeting
in October in response
that the president was a

THEIR VIEW
Our decreasing
life expectancy
in America
The Editorial Board at Newsday
A consistent increase in life expectancy is
one of society’s bedrock measures of progress.
When people are living a bit longer each year
it means we are eating better, exercising more,
becoming more prosperous, reducing stress, facing less danger, and learning how to treat and
prevent illnesses. The average life expectancy of
an American has increased about 30 years since
1900.
Such a trend means things are improving.
So what does it signify when for the first time
in 55 years, the United States saw life expectancy decline for two years in a row, as it did in
2015 and 2016?
It means this country is sick, and growing
sicker. It means this country is killing itself,
with drug addiction and suicide its methods of
choice, and that Alzheimer’s is a disease it cannot get a handle on.
The life expectancy of a baby born in 2016
declined about one month over one born in
2015, to 78 years and seven months on average.
That measure had declined two months from
2014 to 2015.
The last time life expectancy in the United
States declined two years in a row was 19621963, when a flu epidemic tilted the figures.
The last time it declined for even one year was
in 1993, and that was caused at least partly by
the AIDS epidemic.
The biggest reason for the sad change is an
opioid epidemic that led to about two-thirds
of the 63,600 drug deaths in 2016, an increase
of about 20 percent over the previous year’s
record-setting tally of drug deaths. That’s a
death rate that’s tripled nationally since 1999.
On Long Island, opioid deaths increased 24
percent in 2016, with 539 lives cut short. That’s
a 64 percent increase in five years, and the indications thus far are that 2017 continued this
trend.
Another reason for the reduction in life expectancy is a rate of suicide that’s been steadily
increasing for the past 30 years and left about
45,000 people dead in 2016, an absolutely
staggering tally. And yet another is the fastgrowing incidence of Alzheimer’s deaths, which
increased more than 5 percent to 116,000 from
2015 to 2016.
And not surprisingly, all the loss in life expectancy for 2016 was actually for men, whose
average dropped from 76.3 years to 76.1 years.
The average for women remained unchanged, at
81.1 years.
Men are three times more likely to kill themselves than women are, and 50 percent more
likely to die of an opioid overdose.
There is something terribly sad about this
decline, particularly the drug deaths and suicides. Life expectancy in the United States is
years less than in comparably wealthy countries.
And it appears a big reason is that people are
choosing to take their own lives, or finding
them so uncomfortable and unhappy that the
pain must be dulled with heavy, deadly drugs.
That so much of what is killing us seems to
involve despair and mental illness and preventable life choices offers both hope and sadness.
It’s clear the trend is reversible. But it’s also
clear we need to be as committed to fighting
suicide and addiction as we have been in the
past toward AIDS and influenza if we are going
to change that trend.

Seeing his customers on
a regular basis, buying
animals from 4-H’ers
at the Mason County
Fair, and taking part in
providing scholarships
to Wahama High School
seniors are all things he
noted he will miss as a
business owner.
Riggs said he was
always told by his father
to find a job he enjoyed
doing, and added the
Lord helped him in
doing that.
In fact, it was God that
Riggs said he turned to
when deciding to retire
and sell the business. He
prayed for two things,
he said. One was that he
could find a buyer who
would keep the pharmacy open in New Haven,
and the other was that
his employees could stay.
Riggs found both in
new owner Ed Zatta,
who purchased the business on Tuesday. Zatta
is also an independent
pharmacy owner who
has Swisher and Lohse
Pharmacy in Pomeroy,
Ohio, as well as others in
Athens, Ohio and Ripley,
W.Va.
As for the future,
the first thing Dan and
Cathy said they plan to
do is spend more time
with their grandkids.
While they will remain
in New Haven, the
couple said they plan to
travel, taking an Alaskan
cruise at some point, and
visiting faraway friends.
Volunteering is also on
their retirement to-do
list.

WASHINGTON —
With three strong hurricanes, wildfires, hail,

Monday. That ties 2011
for the number of billiondollar disasters, but the
total cost blew past the

Lady Tornadoes
fall to Lady
Panthers, 54-36
By Alex Hawley
ahawley@aimmediamidwest.com
PORTSMOUTH, Ohio — The Lady Panthers
gradually pulled away and then finished strong.
The Southern girls basketball team dropped a
54-36 decision to non-conference host Clay on
Saturday in Scioto County, with the hosts outscoring the Purple and Gold in each period.
SHS (2-8) trailed by just three points, 15-12,
after one quarter of play, with five different
Lady Tornadoes scoring in the stanza. Clay
went on an 11-to-7 second quarter run, stretching its advantage to 26-19 by halftime.
The hosts held Southern to just five points in
the third quarter, as they extended the lead to
34-24 headed into the finale.
The Lady Tornadoes combined for 12 points
over the final eight minutes, but the Lady
Panthers capped off the 54-36 victory with a
20-point period.
Collectively, the Purple and Gold shot 14-of51 (27.5 percent) from the field, including 1-of5 (20 percent) from three-point range. From the
charity stripe, SHS shot 7-of-15 (46.7 percent).
As a team, Southern recorded 27 rebounds,
three assists, six steals and three blocks, while
turning the ball over 24 times.
The Lady Tornado offense was led by senior
Jaiden Roberts with eight points, half of which
came from the free throw line. SHS senior Lauren Lavender was next with seven points, while
Phoenix Cleland and Baylee Wolfe both recorded six points and seven rebounds.
Josie Cundiff hit Southern’s lone trifecta and
finished with three points in the setback, while
Paige VanMeter, Shelbi Dailey and Shelby Cleland scored two points apiece.
Lavender, Phoenix Cleland and Bailee Floyd
had each assisted on one basket for the Purple
and Gold. The SHS defense was led by Phoenix
Cleland with two steals and two blocked shots.
The hosts were led by Jensen Warnock with
a triple-double of 16 points, 11 rebounds and
10 rejections, to go with a team-best six steals.
Cameron DeLotell had 12 points on a quartet of
three-pointers, while Sophia Balestra earned a
double-double of 10 points and 15 rebounds.
Regan Osborn scored seven points for the victors, Hunnter Adams added five markers, while
Ashley Hurt finished with two points.
The Lady Tornadoes won’t battle Clay again
this regular season.
After continuing non-league play with River
Valley on Monday, Southern will get back to
work in the league on Thursday when Belpre
visits Racine.

Blue Devils push past Point Pleasant
By Alex Hawley
ahawley@aimmediamidwest.com
POINT PLEASANT,
W.Va. — Not a great
start, not a great finish,
but what the Blue Devils
did in between made all
the difference.
The Gallia Academy
boys basketball went on a
37-11 run over the middle
two quarters of Saturday’s
non-conference game in
Mason County, as the
Blue Devils claimed a
60-39 victory over Point
Pleasant in the ‘Battle of
the Bridge’.
After a pair of lead
changes in the opening
quarter, the teams were
tied at 12 with 1:30 to
play in the stanza. Gallia
Academy (8-1) sank a
two-pointer with 10 seconds to go in the period
and never trailed again.
The Blue Devils started
the second quarter with
four straight buckets off
of Point Pleasant (1-6)
turnovers. GAHS outscored its host by a 22-4
clip in the period and
went into the half with a
36-16 lead.
Gallia Academy’s lead
grew to as many as 30
points, at 50-20, in the
third quarter, but the
guests settled for a 51-23
lead headed into the
finale.
The Blue Devils scored
the first four points of the
fourth quarter, stretching
their lead to a game-high
31 points. The Big Blacks
closed out the game with
a 16-to-5 run, making the
final margin of 60-39.
“It was the first time
we’ve had back-to-back
games,” GAHS head
coach Gary Harrison
said. “We knew that eventually our defense was
going to kick in, we’ve
been playing such good
defense, giving up about
37 points a game. We
wanted to apply ball pressure and we wanted to
gradually get into that.
“What we’ve worked
on for two months now
is our defense. In our 18
days off, we worked a lot
on that and we’re getting
better at it.”
The Blue Devils shot
26-of-68 (38.2 percent)
from the field, including
2-of-13 (15.4 percent)
from beyond the arc.
Meanwhile, Point Pleasant shot 15-of-39 (38.5
percent) from the field,
including 6-of-15 (40
percent) from deep. From
the free throw line, GAHS
was 6-of-10 (60 percent)
and PPHS was 3-of-8
(37.5 percent).
“They were much more
aggressive and their
strength just started to
wear on us,” PPHS head
coach Josh Williams said.
“They’re a very strong,
physical team. We stood
a lot and didn’t keep the
movement going. We
didn’t read our keys, they
were pressuring us —
ball pressure and denying
that first pass — and I
felt like we missed a lot of
back door opportunities.
“It doesn’t mean we
would have scored,
because you still have the
gate keeper to deal with,
PPHS freshman Malik Butler (20) makes a post move on GAHS
junior Blaine Carter (right), during Gallia Academy’s 60-39 victory
on Saturday in Point Pleasant, W.Va.
but at least we would
have been attacking the
basket.”
The Blue Devils outrebounded their host by
a 41-to-25 tally, including
21-to-6 on the offensive
glass. Gallia Academy
committed 11 turnovers,
over half of which came
in the fourth quarter,
while the Big Blacks gave
the ball away 24 times.
PPHS claimed a 4-to-3
edge in blocked shots,
while GAHS earned
a 14-to-7 advantage
in steals. Both teams
recorded 12 assists in the
contest.
“I look back at last year
when we averaged 18-or19 turnovers a game, this
year we’re down around
10-maybe-9,” Coach Harrison said. “We’ve really
cut it in half and that’s
why we’re being successful. It goes from the top
to the bottom, they’re all
doing a great job.”
The Blue Devils were
led by Cory Call with 14
points and three assists,
followed by Zach Loveday
with 12 points and 12
rebounds. Caleb Henry
had eight points, Logan
Blouir recorded seven
points and three assists,
while Evan Wiseman finished with five points.

Lancers knock off Wahama, 48-41
By Bryan Walters
bwalters@aimmediamidwest.
com
STEWART, Ohio —
The second quarter
made all the difference.
The Wahama boys
basketball team was
more than competitive
for three periods, but
an 18-7 second quarter
run ultimately allowed
host Federal Hocking to
pull away and claim a
48-41 victory on Friday
night during a Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division contest at
McInturf Gymnasium in
Athens County.
The Lancers (2-5, 2-4
TVC Hocking) — who
had dropped 28 consecutive league decisions — picked up their
second straight conference triumph on the
heels of a solid first half
showing as the visiting
White Falcons (2-7,
1-4) trailed by as many
as 16 points early in the
third canto.
The Red and White,
however, twice clawed
to within six points
over the final seven-plus
minutes of regulation,
but ultimately never
came closer the rest of
the way.
FHHS took a small
7-5 edge through eight
minutes of play, but
the hosts made a 12-0
run to start the second
frame en route to a 19-5
cushion before Wahama
answered with a 7-6 run
to close out the final
minute for a 25-12 halftime deficit.
The Maroon and
Gold followed with a
9-6 spurt to start the
third for a 34-18 edge
midway into the canto,
but WHS answered
with a 9-2 run as Jacob
Warth’s tip-in at the
buzzer made it a 36-27
contest headed into the
finale.
Noah Litchfield
capped a quick 3-0 run
with a free throw at the
7:06 mark for a 36-30
deficit, but FHHS countered with a 9-4 run
that ultimately proved
to be too much to
overcome. The White
Falcons closed back to
within 45-39 following an Abram Pauley
trifecta, but the hosts
ended the game with a
3-2 run to wrap up the
seven-point triumph.
Wahama outrebounded the hosts by a sizable 55-35 overall margin, but also committed
21 of the 26 turnovers
in the contest.
The White Falcons
connected on 15-of-51
field goal attempts for
29 percent, including

SOUTH POINT, Ohio — A
slow start led to a bad finish.
Host South Point made a 21-4
first quarter run and ultimately
never looked back on Saturday
night during a 78-51 victory over
the River Valley boys basketball
team in a non-conference matchup in Lawrence County.
The visiting Raiders (3-8) —
fresh off a 51-49 win at Nelsonville-York just 24 hours earlier
— never found any offensive
rhythm early on as the Pointers
(3-4) stormed out to a 17-point
cushion.
SPHS — which dropped a 10481 decision to Fairland the night
before — followed with a 19-14
second quarter run and took a
40-18 advantage into the break.
The Blue and Gold then made
a small 20-16 spurt to start the
second half for a 60-34 edge
headed into the finale before ending regulation with a small 18-17
run to wrap up the 37-point outcome.
The Silver and Black made 17
total field goals — including five
three-pointers — and also went
12-of-18 at the free throw line for
67 percent.
Jarret McCarley led the guests
with 17 points, followed by
Brandon Call with 14 points and
Jordan Lambert with 13 markers.
Patrick Brown was next with six
points, while Darian Peck and
Smith completed the scoring
with two points apiece.
The Pointers netted 29 total
field goals — including 11 trifec-
tas — and also went 9-of-11 at
the charity stripe for 82 percent.
Tayshaun Fox paced the hosts
with a game-high 26 points, followed by Austin Webb with 18
points and Douglas Shaffer with
nine markers.
Jared Whitt was next with
eight points, while NaKyan
Turner and Dustin McCarty each
contributed four points. Chance
Gunther added three points,
while Derek McCarty, Roger
Staggs and Joel Morrison completed the winning tally with two
points apiece.

Bobcats claw past South Gallia, 67-59
By Alex Hawley
ahawley@aimmediamidwest.com
FRANKLIN FURNACE, Ohio
— It all came down to the second half.
Midway through Saturday’s
non-conference boys basketball
game in Scioto County, South
Gallia and Green were tied at
33. The Bobcats outscored the
Rebels by a 34-26 count after
the break, however, as the hosts
claimed a 67-59 victory.
South Gallia (1-8) and Green
(8-4) were tied at 18 after the
first quarter, and both teams
marked 15 points in the second
period.
The Bobcats went on a 20-to11 third quarter run, and took
a 53-44 lead into the finale. The
Rebels scored 15 points over the
final eight minutes, but GHS
scored 14 to seal the 67-59 victory.
The Rebels — who lost starters Braxton Hardy and Curtis
Haner to fouls — were led by
Hardy with 26 points on nine
two-point field goals, a pair of
three-pointers and a 2-of-3 mark
from the line. Eli Ellis also hit
nine two-pointers, to go with
six free throws for a total of 24
points.
SGHS senior Austin Stapleton scored six points on a trio
of two-pointers, while Jared
Burdette hit one trifecta and finished with three markers.
The Bobcats were led by Tanner Kimbler — who surpassed
the 1,000-point milestone for
his career in the win — with 26
points, 12 of which came from
lone range.
Tayte Carver was next for
GHS with 21 points, followed
by Gage Sampson with eight.
Caden Blizzard and Rylee Maynard scored five points apiece
in the triumph, while Zach Huffman chipped in with two.
For the game South Gallia was
8-of-15 (53.3 percent) from the
free throw line, where Green
was 11-of-23 (47.8 percent).
The Rebels won’t have a
chance to avenge this setback
in the regular season. SGHS
returns to the court on Tuesday
when Waterford visits Mercerville.

Overachieving Ohio State stuns No. 1 Michigan State
COLUMBUS, Ohio
(AP) — After missing
the NCAA Tournament
the last two seasons,
roster shake-ups and a
coaching change, Ohio
State surged back toward
national relevance with
a signature win over the
country’s top-ranked
team.
Keita Bates-Diop
scored a career-high 32
points, and the surprising Buckeyes stunned
No. 1 Michigan State
80-64 on Sunday, bringing the fans at Value City
Arena streaming onto
the court to celebrate.
“This is a moment
our fans and our players
will remember for a long
time,” first-year coach
Chris Holtmann said. “It
feels really good.”
Ohio State (13-4, 4-0
Big Ten) put together
an electrifying 12-0 run
to finish the first half
and then kept its foot on
the gas to win its third
straight and take down
the best team it is likely
to see this season. The
mistake-prone Spartans
(15-2, 3-1) lost for the
first time in their last 15
games, dating back to a
seven-point loss to thenNo. 1 Duke on Nov. 14.
The Buckeyes thumped
a Michigan State team
that was leading the
nation in most offensive categories but shot
poorly and committed a
dozen turnovers.
“We all knew we could
do it,” said Ohio State
forward Jae’Sean Tate,
who scored 13 points.
“And that’s where it all
started. You can’t go into
a game against a team
like Michigan State not
believing that it’s pos-
sible to win. I think that’s
the biggest factor of us
winning tonight, just the
belief that we could do
it.”
The Buckeyes blew
some big leads last season, and Tate said they
didn’t feel safe until the
last minute of the game,
despite being up by 14 at
the half and leading by as
many as 25 in the second
half.
“We just kept saying,
don’t fold,” he said.
The Spartans, who
came in leading the
nation with a 53.3 fieldgoal percentage, shot just
39 percent. Joshua Langford and Miles Bridges
each scored 17 points.
Michigan State coach
Tom Izzo said a confident Ohio State team ran
into the Spartans on an
off day. The Buckeyes
were ready for them. It
was a simple as that.
“Don’t go searching
now,” Izzo said. “We’re
15-2 and we had great
practices. There was no
thinking that we were
better than we are. We
ran up against a team
that played awfully well,
and the place was hopping.”
Bates-Diop hit 12 of 21
attempts from the floor,
including 2 of 4 from the
3-point line. He had tied
his career high with 27
points against Iowa three
days ago. C.J. Jackson
added 14 points for Ohio
State.
Kam Williams opened
up the second half with
a slam, and the Buckeyes never trailed again.
Michigan State pulled
to within 14 points with
6:25 left but couldn’t get
closer.

Michigan State guard Matt McQuaid, center, goes up to shoot between Ohio State forward Andre Wesson, left, and center Micah Potter
during the first half of an NCAA college basketball game in Columbus, Ohio, on Sunday. Ohio State won 80-64.
Ohio State last beat the
No. 1 team in the country in 2007, when the
then-No. 2 Buckeyes beat
Wisconsin 49-48.
Big picture
Michigan State: The
discombobulated Spartans let the game slip
away at the end of the
first half and couldn’t
adjust in the second.
Michigan State will surrender the top ranking,
likely to No. 3 Villanova
after No. 2 Duke lost on
Saturday night.
Ohio State: The Buckeyes made the most of
their momentum and
played solid defense to
pull off the upset.
Are the Buckeyes back?
Bates-Diop stopped
short of saying that
Ohio State has returned
to the level it reached
under Thad Matta, the
ex-coach who led the
Buckeyes to the NCAA
Tournament in nine of
his 13 seasons.
“That’s what we came
here for, to be on those
teams that are always
the top teams in the
country,” he said. “We’ve
had a down couple of
years, obviously. … This
is the start of it.”

Beamer, Brown head HOF class
ATLANTA (AP) — Coaches Frank
Beamer and Mack Brown were selected Monday for the College Football
Hall of Fame, part of a class of 13 that
includes former players Ed Reed and
Calvin Johnson.
Brown won 244 games in a 30-year

Jaguars beat Bills 10-3 in ugly game
JACKSONVILLE, Fla.
(AP) — Blake Bortles
never had a game like
this.
Not in college. Not in
high school. Not in peewee football. Not even in
the backyard against family and friends.
Bortles put together
one decent drive all day,
doing as much with his
legs as his arm, and the
defensive-minded Jacksonville Jaguars eked out
an ugly and sometimes
unwatchable 10-3 victory
against the Buffalo Bills
in an AFC wild-card game
Sunday.
Bortles became the
second starting quarterback in the past 25 years
to win a playoff game
with more rushing yards
(88) than passing (87).
Atlanta’s Michael Vick
also did it against the St.
Louis Rams in the 2004
playoffs.
“That’s usually not
ideal for a quarterback,”
Bortles said.
It was enough to help
the third-seeded Jaguars
(11-6) get to the next
round against No. 2 seed
Pittsburgh.
The sixth-seeded Bills
(9-8) will head home after
ending the longest, current playoff drought in
North American professional sports.
“We had bigger goals,”
Buffalo linebacker Preston Brown said. “Once
we got in the dance, we
didn’t want to be one and
done. We didn’t want
to treat this like a bowl
game, go down to Florida
and everybody relaxes.
We wanted to move on.
“This really stings to
lose in this way when you
hold them to 10 points.
We just didn’t find a way
to hold them to zero
points to win the game.”
Bortles was a big reason Jacksonville won its
first playoff game since
January 2008. He was big
reason it was so close,
too.
This was far from a
passing clinic. It was
more like a painful exercise in overcoming poor
passing.
Bortles made up for it
with his scrambling ability. He had several long
runs, with the highlight
coming in the fourth
quarter when he fumbled
a shotgun snap, picked
it up and outran two
defenders for an 18-yard
gain.
The play prompted a
Bills assistant to slam his
clipboard to the ground,
which left Bortles smiling
as he flipped the ball to
an official.
“We weren’t sharp. We
made some bad plays and
did some stupid stuff,”
Bortles said. “But we
found a way to win, and
that’s all that matters.”
He completed 12 of 23
passes for 87 yards, with
a touchdown. His TD
pass to backup tight end
Ben Koyack late in the
third quarter was his best
throw of the game. It also
was a gutsy call on fourthand-goal from the 1.
Bortles did the rest on
the ground, picking up
first downs and helping
Jacksonville win its first
playoff game at home
since the 1999 season.
“He found a way,” cornerback Aaron Colvin
said. “You’ve got to find
a way. Whatever it takes,
we’ve got to get to these
goals we talked about. All
this work we put in in the
offseason is for moments
like this. For him to find
a way and do it with his
legs, I have the utmost
respect for him.”
Phelan M. Ebenhack | AP
Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles (5) rushes for yardage past Buffalo Bills outside linebacker Lorenzo Alexander (57) and
free safety Jordan Poyer (21) in the first half of their wild-card playoff football game Sunday in Jacksonville, Fla. The Jaguars won 10-3.
The Bills had plenty of
chances down the stretch,
but a huge penalty
against tight end Charles
Clay, a dropped pass by
Zay Jones and then a
tackle that knocked quarterback Tyrod Taylor out
of the game ended any
threat of a comeback.
Taylor’s helmet
slammed hard against
the ground after getting
thrown down by Dante
Fowler Jr. He had to be
helped off the field, forcing backup Nathan Peterman into the game with
1:27 remaining.
All-Pro cornerback
Jalen Ramsey tipped and
then intercepted Peterman’s third pass, and the
Jaguars ran out the clock.
“I don’t care what people call it, we got a play-
off win,” Ramsey said.
“We’re going to come to
work for another week
while other teams are sitting home.”

Saints survive Panthers Villanova returns to No. 1 in
NEW ORLEANS
(AP) — Saints All-Pro
defensive end Cameron
Jordan grinned playfully as he glanced up
at a bottle of red wine
in the top shelf of his
locker and asked if
anyone knew Carolina
quarterback Cam Newton’s address.
A bottle with the
name “Jordan” on the
label — even if it isn’t
made by the Saints
star’s family — might
be the last thing Newton wants right now.
Drew Brees and his
receiving corps came
through when Carolina
stifled New Orleans’
prolific backfield, and a
relentless Jordan spearheaded a late defensive
stand to seal a 31-26 an
NFC wild-card round
victory on Sunday.
“You can’t be more
happy about the way
we played in terms of
how we finished the
game,” Jordan said.
“We almost let them
back in the game, but
here I am standing as
winner. Here I am, as
a Cam Jordan, sending
Cam Newton a bottle of
Jordan wine.”
Brees passed for 376
yards and two touchdowns, but one more
completion would have
considerably lowered
the stress level on the
Saints’ sideline. Coach
Sean Payton kept the
offense on the field on
fourth-and-short with
two minutes remaining and Carolina out
of timeouts, hoping
for one more first
down that would have
allowed New Orleans to
run out the clock.
But Brees couldn’t
find an open receiver,
was flushed out of the
pocket and decided
his best option was to
throw it up for grabs.
It was intercepted by
safety Mike Adams,
which turned out better for New Orleans
than an incompletion
because it meant the
Panthers had to start
from their own 31
instead of mid-field.
Still, Newton completed three straight
passes to move the
Panthers to the Saints
26-yard line with 58
seconds left before New
Orleans’ resistance
stiffened.
“I’m frustrated,”
Newton said. “I hate
that I couldn’t do
enough to get a win
today for a lot of guys
that I think so highly
of.
“I just have to be
better,” he added. “I’m
not going to take the
cowardly way and point
somebody else out.”
The comeback bid
began to fizzle when
Jordan induced an
intentional grounding
penalty on Newton,
making it third-and-25
on the Saints 34 and
a requiring 10-second
runoff that left 20 seconds on the clock.
After an incompletion in the end zone,
Vonn Bell sacked Newton on a safety blitz,
ensuring the Saints
(12-5) swept all three
meetings with Carolina
(11-6) this season, in
addition to winning the
first postseason game
they’ve played in four
seasons.
“The coaches wanted
to get the ball out of
the quarterback’s hands
fast,” Bell said. “They
dialed it up and I said,
‘Go make a play.’”
Brees’ touchdowns
went for 80-yards to
Ted Ginn and 9 yards
to tight end Josh Hill.
Fullback Zach line and
running back Alvin
Kamara each ran for
short touchdowns, the
latter set up by Michael
Thomas’ 46-yard reception.
“What we’ve shown
offensively is we have
a lot of ways to be
effective,” Brees said,
mentioning clutch
first-down catches by
Brandon Coleman and
Willie Snead in addition to the big plays
by Ginn and Thomas.
“The ball was spread
around quite a bit and
guys were making plays
when they had the
chances.”
Thomas caught eight
passes for 131 yards on
a day when the Saints
needed the passing
game to compensate
for a ground game that
struggled to get going.
Thomas said when he
noticed the Panthers
playing with one safety
deep instead of their
usual two, “you’re licking your chops with a
quarterback like Drew
Brees and the talent we
have. We knew what we
had to do and it was on
the receivers.”
Ginn, a former
Panthers receiver,
celebrated the sweep
of his former team by
holding up a broom in
the locker room.
