Since then, many additions and improvements have been made at the Gallipolis Railroad Freight Station Museum. Update on Gallipolis railroad museum By Dean Wright Special to OVP GALLIPOLIS — The Gallipolis Railroad Freight Station Museum has continued to push forward over the course of the year despite delays in financial assistance and grant application processes. “We had submitted our grant request to the Ohio General Assembly and we did that a year ago this month and, because of COVID-19, the capital budget was not funded,” said Museum Board Vice President Jerry Davis. “So there was no money for that to be distributed to us this year.” Davis noted that the museum’s application for capital bill funding could still be considered for future approval whenever the state approves such future financial distributions. “What we’ve been able to do and accomplish the past year has been with gracious local donations,” said Davis. “As far as anything major in completing the freight area to open it, we’ve not been able to do so partly because of the grant situation.” Davis, however, lauded the additions of a 1947 Baltimore Courtesy photo The plaque for the 1945 Porter locomotive. and Ohio Railroad caboose and boxcar over the summer as donations from the West Virginia State Farm Museum.

This is the first time Meigs has been in the red category, which is level three of four in the state. Level three means that there is “very high exposure and spread”. There are nine counties — including Gallia — which remain at the orange level two advisory and four counties — Franklin, Montgomery, Lorain and Lake — which are in the highest level four which is purple on the map. Eleven of the red counties are in the watch list, in danger of going to level four. Ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday (and before the updated color map was released), the Meigs County Health Department stated in a news release, “With the drastic increase of COVID-19 cases over the past few weeks, the Meigs County Health Department urges the community to avoid mass gatherings this holiday season. We know Thanksgiving is usually a time to gather and give thanks, but we are not in a usual time. This year we ask you to keep your Thanksgiving gatherings to your immediate family to limit the virus’s spread.” The Meigs County Health Department reported seven additional confirmed cases of COVID-19 on Wednesday. None of the new cases has required hospitalization, although one previously diagnosed individual in the 20-29 age range is now hospitalized. The Mason County Health Department reported 22 additional cases of COVID-19 on Wednesday — making a total of 398 cases since March with 162 currently active. In West Virginia on Wednesday, Gov. Jim Justice reported the current number of active cases in the state has reached a new record high of 14,283. The number of total patients hospitalized also hit a record high of 510 and the number of ICU patients hit a record high of 144.

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change. Of his own will he brought us forth by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures. (James 1:16-18; ESV)” The admonition, “do not be Jonathan deceived,” suggests that there is a McAnulty possibility of being deceived away Contributing from the simplicity of the truth Columnist that James is commenting upon. The Greek term translated as, “deceive,” means to wander, lost and off-course, and is the term used by Jesus to describe a sheep that has gone astray (cf. Matthew 18:12). Understanding this, the question is, in what way is James counseling us not to be deceived, or led astray? A second follow-up question is, how might we be led into such error? James is, most superficially, wanting us to understand that all blessings in life come from God. God, the Giver of Good things, as our Creator and Benefactor, is deserving of our praise, thanksgiving and honor. We are deceived if we give credit for such things to any other or suppose that there is none to whom credit for our gifts is due. A proper worldview, and proper action after, requires a proper recognition of God’s role in our lives. There are many ways to be led into error regarding these things, and men have been so led for thousands of years. Historically, idolatry was one culprit: giving the gratitude and service due God to a man-made phantom of the imagination. Whenever men decide to worship another who is not actually God, they are gone astray. A second possibility is giving credit to men for our blessings. Many a king or politician has tried to convince individuals and followers that they alone are able to provide blessings and that thanksgiving and loyalty should therefore be given solely to them. In a similar vein, there are men who want to claim all the credit for any good in their own lives, telling themselves that it was through their own skill and ability they have succeeded, discounting the idea that even when they have ability, all such are from God. Two men stand out in the scriptures as having forgotten the proper gratitude and deference due God for the gifts and opportunities they had been given. Both were kings. The first, Nebuchadnezzar, deceived himself, and tried to claim sole credit for the strength and wealth of his empire. God humbled him and showed him the error of his ways (cf. Daniel 4). The second was Herod, who wanted others to praise and worship him as God. God struck him so that he was eaten internally by worms and died a slow, painful death (cf. Acts 12:20-23). Both men are given to us as vivid reminders that we should always be thankful to God, not men, and certainly not self. The apostle Paul, writing to the Romans concerning the reasons for God’s wrath, connects said wrath with the failure of men to recognize the person of God, and to subsequently be thankful (cf. Romans 1:18-21). It is a lesson all men do well to heed still today. James, however, in his text, is trying to teach a deeper, more pointed lesson: one aimed specifically at Christians, as illustrated by verse 18, where James mentions those who have been born through the word of truth, and who expected to be the firstfruits of God’s creation. Christians who have come to God through the blood of Christ are the most blessed of all men, for they have received every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ (cf. Ephesians 1:3). They should therefore, logically, be the most thankful and grateful towards God. Additionally, as those who have been most blessed, Christians have been given the most responsibility to shine. The word “firstfruit” denotes the first crops harvested, but also suggests, by implication, that said crops are the best of the harvest. It was the firstfruits which were offered to God (Leviticus 23:20). If Christians are going to properly give themselves to God, they must do so with the proper attitude of Thanksgiving, recognizing both that they have been blessed, and that it is God who has done the blessing. If Christians, who have been blessed through Christ, will not show God the proper reference and gratitude, then how can they reasonably expect others to do so? Rather, we are told, as Christians, “You will be enriched in every way to be generous in every way, which through us will produce thanksgiving to God (2 Corinthians 9:11; ESV).” Our own gratitude, given properly and reverentially, will influence others to do the same. If on the other hand, Christians eschew a general attitude of thanksgiving, but instead display a grumbling, complaining, constantly worried attitude… what then of our influence. For this reason, we read, “Do all things without grumbling or disputing, that you may be blameless and innocent, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and twisted generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world (Philippians 2:14-15; ESV).” Jonathan McAnulty is minister of Chapel Hill Church of Christ. Viewpoints expressed in the article are the work of the author. As the holidays descend upon us, you may be finding yourself seriously disturbed by how world events have disrupted the traditions that you and/ or your family observe. Thanksgiving time may not have been what you are accustomed to. Holiday traditions such as attending Christmas programs, holiday parties, public shopping trips, and even family gatherings may not look at all this year like the ones that you are used to. Traditions can be great. They can help us to structure our efforts, our time, and our resources around important things. Traditions in the church as well as in home and family worship gatherings can be awesome and are often things we look forward to because they help us to break out of the crazy race of life and reengage in the priorities of God, family, and personal growth. On the other hand, they can become their own kind of crazy, too. If we become so driven to attain some sort of “pictureperfect” version of a tradition (the decorations have to be just so, we have to eat at exactly a certain time, or anything like that), then our tradition has become a slave-master to us. The tradition has ceased being a tool to help us arrive at the figurative destination of enjoying a result, then our others’ company, traditions have growing closer to become dead ends loved ones, knowand do not serve us ing God more intiin the way that we mately, and building need to be served: lasting, positive they fail to usher memories, and have us humbly into the instead become an Thom end unto themselves Mollohan calling that God demanding some Contributing has given each of us to know Him sort of illusion of columnist and make Him perfection. known.

But I’ve never written an article with a wedding band on my finger. A lot can change in six years. I’m thankful. I’m not sure what your Thanksgiving looks like in 2020. I hope you have a good meal to enjoy. I hope you have a family to spend time with. But here’s the truth: you might not. Maybe there’s an empty seat at your table. Maybe someone has the virus. Maybe there are some people quarantined. Maybe Thanksgiving seems a little less exciting this year. warm living room. It’s a strange year On a comfortto be thankful. able couch.

It’s an old house. But the level of gratitude we have for our home is comparable to a king and his castle. Why? Because we know God is faithful. So, find some little things to be thankful for. Do you have clothes? Praise God. Do you have food? That’s a blessing. Is there a coffee pot nearby? Now, that’s luxury! I’ve never been more thankful for groceries, heat, running water, garbage disposal, a hot water heater, and a dry house. It’s a lot of little things, See YEAR | 9 GOD’S KIDS KORNER Patience and kindness for advent and beyond The Fruits of the Spirit are special skills and abilities given by the Holy Spirit to followers of Christ to advance the Kingdom of God. Galatians 5:22-23 says, “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.” For Advent this year, I want us to think about how we can be prepared for Christmas using these spiritual gifts God gave us. This week, let’s talk about patience and kindness. Christmas shows us both how patient and kind God is with us and that God’s patience and kindness should lead us to be patient and kind while we wait to celebrate Jesus’ birth. As we approach Dec. 25, the Christmas season can make everyone short on both — especially now with the pandemic and being cooped up in the house and not able to see family and friends or go to school as we would like. It can produce short tem- the real gift, our pers and arguments Savior. if we’re not careful.

What a wonderful gift Christmas shows how patient God is with us. He that was and is to all of patiently waited until just us! As Scripture says on more than one occasion, the right time for Jesus God’s kindness is unfailto be born. And when ing.

Be patient and remember the gift in to wait for Christmas to the manger at Bethlehem, come. We all are tired of COVID and want things to be back to the way they used to be. Eventually they will, so remember God’s gifts to us and be good examples of those gifts. Remember also, God is in control, and He wants us to be patient and kind while we wait for things to settle down. Most importantly though, don’t forget the real reason for the season! Try especially hard this week to be patient and kind with those around you. Let’s pray. Father God, thank You for sending Jesus at just the right time and in just the right way, so we could all be saved. You showed Your patience and kindness to us by giving us a way to spend eternity with You, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. Please help us to show patience and kindness to others just like You showed it to all of us. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

In the past, this patient population would have had two different tests — a rapid flu test and a rapid COVID test.

Though the test is only for select hospitalized patients and is not available on demand to the public, due to a limited shortage of reagent, OhioHealth sees it as another critical tool for navigating the coming flu season. “The best approach for those concerned about their flu risk this season is to get a flu shot and continue taking precautions to avoid exposure to COVID, including social distancing and wearing masks in accordance with CDC guidelines,” said Swickard.

Remembering Denise Scarberry By Beth Sergent bsergent@aimmediamidwest.com POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. — I was saddened to learn of the passing of Denise Scarberry on Nov. 20, a local businesswoman who owned Advance Design Hair Care and former organizer of the Point Pleasant Halloween Block Party. Denise’s parents, Lawrence and Barbara Scarberry, have lived next to either my grandparents, and later my aunt and late uncle, my entire life, so I knew her from an early age. I always found her witty and kind - to this day, I remember the card she sent me after my mother passed away and the message with it, which was uniquely Denise. I interviewed her several times for the Point Pleasant Register about the Halloween Block Party which, over the course of two decades, she turned into an event that exploded in popularity and seemed to rival the Mothman Festival in terms of attendance. In 2017, she decided to pass the block party on to the next generation. I knew I had to interview her at that last, big shindig she hosted. When I tracked her down at Riverfront Park, she was serving tray after tray of hot dogs. When I told her I wanted to interview her for the paper about her “retirement,” she looked at me, as if to say, “Why would you want to do that?” She graciously agreed to let me do the story, though during the interview, she never stopped working - taking questions from volunteers, and me, without missing a beat. A year later, I returned to the block party to cover it for the paper again and spotted Denise, still serving up food and volunteering. That was Denise - faithfully there. And, she was faithfully there for all those families who were treated to free food, candy, games, and fun, for at least one night a year. I know words fall well short of healing the loss I’m sure those who loved her most are feeling. I am so very sorry for you all. During a complicated time of social distancing and small gatherings in which we are all navigating, Denise’s obituary stated a celebration of life is planned for a later date. Instead, friends were asked to line Viand Street in Point Pleasant on Tuesday to say goodbye, and they did — all along the funeral procession’s route, wearing masks, and silently showing support for the woman who gave back to many who never knew her name, and many more who did. During a week when we give thanks, give thanks for those faithful volunteers who are left, as well as the ones who left a legacy. Appearing here is the 2017 article I wrote about Denise’s last block party, titled: A Halloween tradition: Scarberry retires her title as head party planner POINT PLEASANT — “I love Halloween.” This is the simple and sincere explanation as to why Denise Scarberry has organized the annual Halloween Block Party for the last 20 years in Point Pleasant, an event which has grown from a handful of trick-ortreaters, to hundreds jamming into Riverfront Park. However, like all good things, they must come to an end…though the block party will hopefully continue. For Scarberry, it’s time to pass the tradition on to a new leader. “It’s sad but I think it’s time for me to move on and somebody else to come in and take it over,” she said. Scarberry said she begins working on the next year’s block party the day after the last one is over. “It’s a lot of work,” she said during her interview for this story; an interview which took place at the block party while she fixed tray after tray of hot dogs. The idea for the block party was started by the local junior women’s club and then Scarberry and her volunteers stepped in to keep it going, seeing the potential for the event which provided a safe space for children from every socioeconomic background. That space would provide not only candy but a free meal, free games, prizes, inflatables and memo- Card Showers Lou Long will be celebrating her 90th birthday on Nov. 30, cards may be sent to Holzer Assisted Living 300 Briarwood Dr. Gallipolis, OH, 45631. Beth Sergent | OVP ries. Scarberry said the party couldn’t happen without the businesses, organizations and a core group of volunteers who help her put it on. “I have a lot of businesses that set up, plus my faithful volunteers,” she said. Ironically, Scarberry almost missed her last block party. The night before it was set to happen, she was in Nashville at a oncein-a-lifetime concert at Bridgestone Arena, attending the “All In For The Gambler: Kenny Rogers’ Farewell Concert Celebration” featuring a slew of celebrities like Dolly Parton, Lionel Ritchie and the Gambler himself. The day of the block party, Scarberry was returning home from Nashville when a piece of metal ended up in her tire in God’s country. A tire shop was finally located and despite the detour, she got back on the road. She said she was on the phone with her volunteers the whole way. Still, it was cutting it close. “I didn’t know if I was going to make it,” she laughed. “I thought I was retiring early.” “Denise has been doing this 20 years like a strange year to be thankful. But knowing Christ and being content with His provision is From page 4 great gain. It’s a luxury. So, what do you have but they are huge blessings. And in this season to be thankful for today?

We’re indebted to her and what she’s done.” When Scarberry looks back on the early days of the party, she said maybe 50 kids would show up but now, that number is in the hundreds and not just from Mason County. Visitors come from across the area. “It’s a lot bigger than I ever dreamed,” she said. “It’s a fun event and I’ve enjoyed it but I don’t really get to see the costumes (the kids wear) because I’m always working. I love to see the little kids (dressed up) and playing our homemade games.” Scarberry herself hasn’t got to dress up and celebrate trick-ortreat since she took over the block party. “I hope someone will continue the madness,” Scarberry said with a smile. © 2020 Ohio Valley Publishing, all rights reserved.

TVMA �Sports 10 Friday, November 27, 2020 Ohio Valley Publishing Playoff rankings: ’Bama, ND, Clemson, Buckeyes By Ralph D. Russo Associated Press Alabama was No. 1 in the first College Football Playoff rankings of the season Tuesday night, followed by Notre Dame, Clemson and Ohio State. Texas A&M was fifth and Florida sixth, giving the Southeastern Conference three of the top six teams. Alabama is No. 1 in the CFP rankings for a record 19th time. Unbeaten Cincinnati from the American Athletic Conference at seventh has the best ranking for a non-Power Five team in the seven-year history of the selection committee’s top 25. No. 8 Northwestern, Georgia and Miami rounded out the top 10. Another unbeaten team from outside the Power Five was not so highly regarded by the committee. BYU was slotted 14th, behind No. 11 Oklahoma (6-2) and No. 13 Iowa State (6-2), among others. The Cougars were No. 8 in the latest AP Top 25. The highest-ranked Pac-12 team was Oregon at 15th. Southern California was 18th. Much like this entire college football season played in a pandemic, the rankings schedule has been delayed and truncated this year. The 13-person selection committee usually starts ranking teams around Halloween and produces six rankings before the final ones that determine which 12 teams will play in the semifinals and major bowl games. This is the first of four reveals leading up to the only ones that really count, scheduled to be released on Dec. 20. The coronavirus pandemic didn’t stop the selection committee from meeting in person as usual at the Gaylord Hotel in Grapevine, Texas, just outside Dallas. And the playoff itself is scheduled to go off as scheduled with the semifinals on Jan. 1 in the Rose Bowl and Sugar Bowl, and the championship game Jan. 11 at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida. Because of the strange season, these initial committee rankings had more intrigue than normal and several questions to answer. “We embraced the See PLAYOFF | 11 OVP SPORTS SCHEDULE Friday, Nov. 27 Boys Basketball Gallia Academy at Meigs, 7:30 River Valley at Eastern, 7:15 Saturday, Nov. 28 College Football Bowling Green at Ohio, noon Oklahoma at West Virginia, 7:30 Girls Basketball Rock Hill at River Valley, 6:30 Eastern at Shenandoah, 1 p.m. Photos by Alex Hawley | OVP Sports River Valley senior Hannah Jacks (2) shoots a two-pointer over South Gallia’s Tori Triplett (3), during the Lady Raiders’ five-point win on Tuesday in Bidwell, Ohio. Lady Raiders slip past South Gallia, 47-42 By Alex Hawley ahawley@aimmediamidwest.com BIDWELL, Ohio — It all came down to the finale. The River Valley and South Gallia girls basketball teams were tied at 33 three quarters into Tuesday’s non-conference clash in Gallia County, with the hosts Lady Raiders pulling out a 47-42 victory after a 14-to-9 fourth quarter. The Lady Raiders (1-1) were ahead 7-6 at the end of the opening period, which featured four lead changes. The Lady Rebels (0-1) scored the first five points of the second quarter, but RVHS claimed the next five for a 12-11 lead. South Gallia was back in front after a two-pointer by Jessie Rutt at the 4:24 mark of the second quarter, but a Lauren Twyman got the lead back for the hosts with a trifecta 14 seconds later. River Valley outscored South Gallia 8-to-1 over the remainder of the half and went into the break up 23-14. A 7-to-4 run to start the second half gave the Lady Raiders their largest lead of the night, at 30-18. SGHS went on a 15-to-3 run over the rest of the period, tying it at 33 on a Macie Sanders three-pointer with just two seconds left on the third quarter clock. A two-pointer by Rutt 30 seconds into the fourth gave South Gallia its first lead of the second half, at 35-33. RVHS freshman Emma Truance tied it at 35 with 6:55 to play, and then Hannah Jacks hit back-toback buckets to give the hosts a 39-35 lead. A putback basket by Ryleigh Halley got SGHS back to within two points, but Jacks hit three straight fast break layups, making the Lady Raider lead 45-37 with 2:55 to play. South Gallia scored the next five points, getting back to within a single possession on a Makayla Waugh two-pointer with 36 seconds left. However, Truance sank a pair of free throws 12 seconds later, capping off the Lady Raiders’ 47-42 win. For the game, SGHS claimed a 35-to-33 edge in rebounds, including 14-to-13 on the offensive glass. However, the Lady Rebels committed 27 turnovers, four more than RVHS. The Silver and Black finished with 15 steals, 12 assists and five blocks in the contest, while the guests combined for 14 steals, seven assists and one rejection. River Valley made 19-of54 (35.2 percent) field goal attempts, including 3-of-13 (23.1 percent) three-point tries, while South Gallia was 16-of-53 (30.2 percent) from the field, including 4-of-19 (21.1 percent) from deep. Both teams made half dozen free throws, RVHS in 12 attempts for 50 percent, and SGHS in 15 tries for 40 percent. Jacks led the Silver and Black with team-highs of 21 points, seven rebounds, four assists, four steals and three rejections. Truance tallied 11 points in the win, Twyman added six points, while Sierra Somerville scored three.

Brooklin Clonch each had two points for the victors. Rutt paced South Gallia with 11 points and six boards, followed by Sanders with 10 points and six rebounds. Tori Triplett came up with eight points and a team-best three assists for the guests, while Ryleigh Halley added six points and six rebounds. Waugh recorded four points for the Red and Gold, Kennedey Lambert added two points, while Gabby Spurlock scored one. Leading the SGHS defense, Rutt and Sanders had three steals each, while Triplett had two steals and a block. These teams are slated to meet again on Jan. 18 in Mercerville.

Two Lady Knights named to all-state soccer teams By Alex Hawley ahawley@aimmediamidwest.com POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. — A pair of Lady Knights were selected to the Class AA-A all-state first team, ending a twoyear drought for the PPHS girls. Point Pleasant — which went 8-5-3 this season — was represented on first team by junior midfielder Kady Hughes and senior defender Kira Henderson, both first-time all-state honorees. Hughes put in 16 goals this season, the team leader, while coming up with eight assists, second most on the squad. Henderson — the team captain — anchored a PPHS defense that shut out 10 opponents this fall. The Coach of the Year award in Class AA-A went to Williamstown’s Ben Rinehart.

Friday, November 27, 2020 11 Jags turn to QB Glennon against Browns JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Mike Glennon’s first start in more than three years took a circle of benchings that involved five quarterbacks and two teams more than a thousand miles apart. Try to follow along: Glennon got benched in 2017 for then-Chicago rookie Mitchell Trubisky, who got benched this season for Nick Foles, who got benched last year in Jacksonville for rookie Gardner Minshew, who got replaced this month by rookie Jake Luton, who is now benched in favor of Glennon. Whew! Jaguars coach Doug Marrone made Glennon his starter for Sunday’s game against Cleveland (7-3) three days after he considered pulling Luton during a 27-3 loss to unbeaten Pittsburgh. Luton completed 16 of 37 passes for 151 yards and four interceptions against the Steelers. “I think he gives us the best chance to win,” Marrone said of Glennon. “Mike’s experienced and that’s why we brought him in here, to be able to fill in whenever we need him. So he’ll get his opportunity.” Luton went winless in three starts for Jacksonville (1-9), which has dropped nine in a row — tied for the longest single-season skid in franchise history. Luton replaced Gardner Minshew (thumb) during the team’s bye week and has completed 54.5% of his passes for 624 yards, with two touchdowns and six interceptions. He also was sacked seven times. His inexperience showed in all three outings, first failing down the stretch in close games against Houston and Green Bay, then looking mostly lost against the blitzing Steelers. “I told Jake that: ‘Hey, we really appreciate everything. We really like a lot of things that you’re doing, but we’re just going to take a step back and just kind of digest things for a while,’” Marrone said. “He’s fine and I think he’s got a chance to become a good football player in this league.” Minshew resumed throwing last week, but Marrone hasn’t seen enough to believe Minshew is ready to return. He could end up serving as Glennon’s backup Sunday. Either way, Jacksonville will have three different starting quarterbacks for the first time since 2010, when Trent Edwards and Todd Bouman filled in a game each for David Garrard. The 30-year-old Glennon has started 22 of 29 games over seven NFL seasons with Oakland, Arizona, Chicago and Tampa Bay. He has 36 touchdowns passes and 20 interceptions. His last start came in Week 4 in 2017 with the Bears. The 6-foot-7 Glennon has bounced around in recent years, playing for Oakland (2019), Arizona (2018) and Chicago (2017) after beginning his career in Tampa Bay (2013-16). The Buccaneers drafted him in the third round in 2013. He made $18.5 million during his one season with the Bears.

Associated Press give him 10 touchdowns in the first 10 games this season. Claypool is the first wide receiver in the Super Bowl era and fourth in league history with at least 10 TDs in the first 10 games of his career, joinng Billy Howton (11 TDs in 1952), Bill Groman (10 in 1960) and Harlon Hill (10 in 1954). GIVING THANKS: Detroit’s Matthew Stafford is set to make his 10th career Thanksgiving Day start, which would tie Troy Aikman for the most in NFL history. Stafford has gone 4-5 in those starts and could have the most Thanksgiving losses ever if the Lions lose to Houston. Only Aikman (5-5) and Bart Starr (2-5-1) have also lost five starts. Stafford, whose 2,705 yards passing are the most ever on Thanksgiving, also can have the most TD passes. He enters the game with 17, one behind Tony Romo. HEAVY LOAD: Jaguars undrafted rookie James Robinson gained 94 yards from scrimmage to give him 1,011 for the season. He’s the fifth undrafted rookie to gain at least 1,000 yards from scrimmage in the common draft era, joining Dominic Rhodes (1,328 in 2001), Phillip Lindsay (1,278 in 2018), Clark Gaines (1,124 in 1976) and LeGarrette Blount (1,021 in 2010). Robinson has 78.3% of Jacksonville yards rushing this season. Only nine players have gained a larger amount for a season since 2010. COMEBACK KIDS: Indianapolis overcame a 14-point deficit to beat Green Bay 34-31 in overtime, marking the 11th straight week that a team rallied from at least 13 points down to win. The only other time that happened was 2015. There have been 33 games so far in which a team overcame a double-digit deficit to win, the most through 11 weeks in NFL history. OVP SPORTS BRIEFS Rio Grande’s Woods honored by RSC December. The No. 15 Mountaineers open the season against South Dakota State on Wednesday in the Bad Boy Mowers Crossover Classic in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. MIDDLETOWN, Ohio — University of Rio Grande forward Lexi Woods averaged a strong double-double in two games to earn River States Conference Women’s Basketball Player of the Week for Nov. 16-22. Woods, a 5-11 sophomore from Waverly, Ohio, averaged 24.0 points. 14.0 rebounds and shot 61 percent from the field on the week. She also put up 2.0 assists, 1.0 block and 1.0 steal per game while making all eight of her free throws. Woods did all of her damage while playing just 22 minutes per game. Despite 30 points and 17 rebounds from Woods, Rio Grande lost to Asbury (KY), 104-87, in a non-conference game. She followed that up with 18 points and 11 rebounds on 8 of 12 shooting in a 100-51 win over Great Lakes Christian. Rio Grande (1-3) has its next scheduled game Dec. 12 at home versus Point Park (PA). Alabama’s Saban tests positive for virus Alabama coach Nick Saban has tested positive for COVID-19 just days before the Iron Bowl. The 69-year-old Saban previously received a false positive ahead of the game with Georgia but didn’t have any symptoms. He was cleared to coach in the game after subsequent tests leading up to the game came back negative. Elsewhere, No. 7 Cincinnati’s game at Temple this weekend was canceled because both teams are dealing with COVID-19 issues. The American Athletic Conference said the game scheduled for Saturday could not be made up on Dec. 5, even though both teams have an open date, because the league’s protocols “would not allow for a sufficient number of players to be available for competition on that day.” The unbeaten and conference-leading Bearcats’ next game is scheduled for Dec. 12 at No. 24 Tulsa, which had its game scheduled for Saturday against Houston postponed because MORGANTOWN, W.Va.

The best ranking in any selection committee top 25 by a team from outside the Power Five had been No. 8 for unbeaten UCF in the final 2018 rankings. At worst, Cincinnati is lined up nicely to win out and grab the spot guaranteed to the top Group of Five conference champion in the New Year’s six bowls. The contenders for that spot if Cincinnati collapses down the stretch are Coastal Carolina from the Sun Belt at 20, Marshall from Conference USA at 21 and the Bearcats’ AAC rival Tulsa at 25. BYU is not only outside the realistic playoff race, but the Cougars would still need to rise a few spots to have a shot at getting an at-large invite to one of the lucrative New Year’s Six games. “Great motivation for our guys,” BYU coach Kalani Sitake said on ESPN while mostly taking the high road about the rankings. A bid to the Fiesta, Cotton or Peach bowls would be worth $4 million to the independent Cougars, who are not eligible for the spot reserved for the Group of Five. BYU has only a game against San Diego State on Dec. 12 left on its schedule, but is looking to add opponents. There were some discussions in the last few days with Washington, which had its game this weekend against Washington State called off, but it didn’t work. Well, how about Cincinnati? The Cougars and Bearcats are both off Dec. 5. It always comes down to risk/reward. The Cougars could certainly use a boost. The Bearcats still have likely two games with Tulsa. Would that be enough for the Bearcats to move into playoff position if some of the teams in front of them are cleared out? BYU would definitely give that resume a lift. �Ohio Valley Publishing Countdown to Christmas 24 6 1 2 3 4 5 12 7 8 9 13 14 15 19 10 11 18 17 16 23 21 W ELCOMI NG M UNC HK I NS NEED HELP WITH YOUR CHILDCARE?
