Sermon had rushed for 112 yards against Michigan State, 331 yards against Northwestern and 193 yards against Clemson in his three previous games. Monday, his night was over after one carry for two yards when he suffered what appeared to be a collarbone injury. “You saw what he did the last two games. When we needed him most he gave us his best. Losing him was huge and I think we felt that,” wide receiver Chris Olave said after Alabama’s 52-24 win over the Buckeyes in the championship game. Tight end Jeremy Ruckert said, “It’s deﬁnitely a huge loss, especially how productive he’s been these last couple of weeks. We’ve been relying on him in the run game. We rushed pretty good in the ﬁrst half. Losing him was deﬁnitely detrimental.” Quarterback Justin Fields was Ohio State’s leading rusher with 67 yards on six carries. Master Teague replaced Sermon and rushed for 65 yards on 15 carries and scored two touchdowns. Fields said, “He was hot these last few weeks. When one man goes down we have to bring up the next man. We would have liked to have Trey out there, he’s a baller, he’s a warrior.” Davis injured All-American guard Wyatt Davis left the game late in the ﬁrst half with a knee injury and had to be helped to the locker room at halftime. During his postgame Zoom conference, OSU coach Ryan Day said, “He kind of re-injured his knee. He’s sore right now. I’m not sure what the diagnosis is right now.” All the unavailables These players were listed as unavailable by Ohio State for Monday night’s game: Cam Brown, Jacolbe Cowan, Dominic DiMaccio, Ty Hamilton, Jaylen Harris, Blake Haubeil, Dawand Jones, Cade Kacherski, Mitchell Melton, Tyreke Smith, Tommy Togiai, Kourt Williams, Miyan Williams. Lots of diplomas Ohio State had 22 players who have already graduated on its roster for Monday night’s game. Alabama had 16.

Raiders, Devils fare well at NYHS By Bryan Walters bwalters@aimmediamidwest.com NELSONVILLE, Ohio — Two in the top three ain’t bad. The wrestling programs from River Valley and Gallia Academy respectively placed second and third this past Saturday at the 2021 Steve Yinger Memorial Invitational held at Nelsonville-York High School in Athens County.

The 120-pound division was not listed in the ﬁnal results. The Raiders had all eight of their grapplers ﬁnish in the championship ﬁnal of their respective divisions, with the Silver and Black posting a 35-5 overall mark and 27 pinfall wins en route to four titles and a quartet of runner-up efforts.

GAHS posted a 34-24 overall record and also scored 24 pinfall wins. Hudson Shamblin was the lone Gallia Academy wrestler to win a weight class title after going 5-0 with four pinfall wins in the 160-pound division.

From the sideline to the sofa. His phone turned off, Stefanski, who was isolated from his team and family after contracting COVID-19 last week, felt helpless, torn as he paced. “I don’t plan on doing that again,” he said. Stefanski expects he won’t have to, and Cleveland won’t have to wait another generation between postseason appearances. The Browns’ strange 2020 season, which outkicked being bizarre a while back and has rolled into a new year, continues They’re one of four teams left in the AFC with a matchup set for By Doug Ferguson Associated Press Some volume is returning to the Masters, just maybe not the head-turning roars. Augusta National Chairman Fred Ridley said Tuesday the club intends to allow a limited number of spectators for the Masters on April 8-11, provided it can be done safely, given the coronavirus pandemic. In other areas, the Masters in April will be a lot like the last one in November. Ridley said it will be conducted with similar health and safety standards. Those standards last fall included mandatory COVID-19 testing and masks being worn. Ridley said holding the Masters with only essential personnel made the club conﬁdent in its ability to stage a major championship with limited fans.

They’ve bought in to Stefanski’s team-aboveall message, which isn’t unique. But it’s one that has been re-enforced during a season when injuries have forced the Browns to count on players who began the year buried on the depth chart or elsewhere. Cleveland’s offensive line depth is so decimated by injuries — and Pro Bowler Joel Bitonio being out with COVID19 — that during the nerve-racking fourth quarter as the Steelers rallied, the left guard was Blake Hance. He spent 16 weeks on the Jets’ practice squad before the Browns signed him in an emergency last week. Quarterback Baker Mayﬁeld introduced himself to Hance in the locker room before the game. Stefanski hopes to do the same soon. “I am looking forward Sunday against the reigning Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs. Given little chance without their coach, several key players and unable to practice much last week, the Browns pulled off a stunning, 48-37 wild-card win at Pittsburgh that exorcised years of failure and painful frustration against their rivals. Perhaps it kicked off a new era for a franchise that means more to its city than many in the NFL. When the Browns arrived back in Cleveland at around 3 a.m. Monday, their plane was welcomed at the airport by barking, chanting fans. Another drought over. “We have to keep it going,” said Stefanski, who anticipates returning to the team’s facility on Thursday. Naturally, the Browns missed having their rookie coach while playing their ﬁrst playoff game since the 2002 season. Stefanski’s steadiness to it,” Stefanski said. He’s also eager to get back to coaching his team after a stomach-churning night as a fan. However, before he watches his next game, Stefanski might want to brush up on his remote skills. He admitted that at the moment when the Browns jumped to a quick lead — and began a turnover avalanche with safety Karl Joseph’s TD fumble recovery in the end zone after the Steelers’ ﬁrst snap from center sailed over quarterback Ben Roethlisberger’s head — Stefanski was seeing something different. No, not Netﬂix. “I guess that my feed for whatever reason — I must have hit pause or something — was about 45 seconds behind,” he confessed. “I heard my kids going crazy upstairs so I had an inkling something good was going to happen.” Something good is happening in Cleveland.

Ofﬁce hours are Monday through Friday 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Daily Sentinel House races to oust Trump By Lisa Mascaro, Zeke Miller and Mary Clare Jalonick Associated Press WASHINGTON — The U.S. House pressed swiftly Tuesday toward impeaching President Donald Trump for the deadly Capitol attack, taking time only to try to persuade his vice president to push him out ﬁrst. Trump showed no remorse, blaming his accusers instead for the “tremendous anger” in America. Already scheduled to leave ofﬁce next week, Trump is on the verge of becoming the only president in history to be twice impeached. His incendiary rhetoric at a rally ahead of the Capitol uprising is now in the impeachment charge against him, even as the falsehoods he spread about election fraud are still being championed by some Republicans. As lawmakers reconvened at the Capitol for the ﬁrst time since the bloody siege, they were also bracing for more violence ahead of Democratic President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration, Jan. 20. “All of us have to do some soul searching,” said Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., during a House rules debate, pleading for a change of heart among colleagues still backing Trump. Trump, meanwhile, warned the lawmakers off impeachment and suggested it was the drive to oust him that was dividing the country. “To continue on this path, I think it’s causing tremendous danger to our country, and it’s caus- G a l l i p o l i s NOW OFFERING COVID-19 RAPID TESTING WITH AN OFFICE VISIT If you’re not feeling well and are worried you may have COVID-19, Damia Hayman, FNP-BC and her staff can help you get tested and provide medical management of your symptoms.

In his ﬁrst remarks to reporters since last week’s violence, the outgoing president offered no condolences for those dead or injured, only saying, “I want no violence.” Impeachment ahead, the House was ﬁrst pressing Vice President Mike Pence and the Cabinet to remove Trump more quickly and surely, warning he is a threat to democracy in the few remaining days of his presidency. The House was expected to approve a resolution calling on Pence and the Cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment to the Constitution to declare the president unable to serve. Pence, who had a “good meeting” with Trump on Monday, their ﬁrst since the vice president was among those sheltering from the attack, was not expected to take any such action. After that, the House would move swiftly to impeachment on Wednesday. Trump faces a single charge — “incitement of insurrection” — in the impeachment resolution after the most serious and deadly domestic incursion at the Capitol in the nation’s history. During an emotional debate ahead of the House action, Rep. Norma Torres, D-Calif., urged her Republican colleagues to understand the stakes, recounting a phone call from her son as she ﬂed during the siege. “Sweetie, I’m OK,” she told him. “I’m running for my life.” But Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, a top Trump ally just honored this week at the White House, refused to concede that Biden won the election outright. Democratic Rep. Jim McGovern, D-Mass., tied such talk to the Capitol attack, interjecting, “People came here because they believed the lie.” A handful of House Republicans could vote to impeach, but in the narrowly divided Senate there are not expected to be the two-thirds votes to convict him, though some Republicans say it’s time for Trump to resign. The unprecedented events, with just over a week remaining in Trump’s term, are unfolding in a nation bracing for more unrest. The FBI has warned ominously of potential armed protests in Washington and many states by Trump loyalists ahead of Biden’s inauguration and Capitol Police warned lawmakers to be on alert. The inauguration ceremony on the west steps of the Capitol will be off limits to the public. The ﬁnal days of Trump’s presidency will be like none other as Democrats, and a small number of Republicans try to expel him after he incited the mob that violently ransacked the Capitol last Wednesday. A Capitol police ofﬁcer died from injuries suffered in the riot, and police shot a woman during the violence. Three other people died in what authorities said were medical emergencies. Few Republicans were expected to support either piece of legislation, but some were heavily weighing their decisions. Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., spoke to House GOP colleagues late Monday of the signiﬁcance of the impeachment vote and encouraged them to consider it a “vote of conscience,” according to a person granted anonymity to discuss the private call. She has spoken critically of Trump’s actions. In the Senate, Republican Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania joined GOP Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska over the weekend in calling for Trump to “go away as soon as possible.” No member of the Cabinet has publicly called for Trump to be removed from ofﬁce through the 25th Amendment. Biden has said it’s important to ensure that the “folks who engaged in sedition and threatening the lives, defacing public property, caused great damage -- that they be held accountable.” Fending off concerns that an impeachment trial would bog down Biden’s ﬁrst days in ofﬁce, the president-elect is encouraging senators to divide their time between taking taking up his priorities of conﬁrming his nominees and approving COVID relief while also conducting the trial. Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer suggested in a letter to colleagues Tuesday the chamber would do both. As Congress resumed, an uneasiness swept the halls. More lawmakers tested positive for COVID-19 after sheltering during the siege. Many lawmakers may choose to vote by proxy rather than come to Washington, a process that was put in place last year to limit the health risks of travel. Even Republicans who have resisted the proxy system are now cleared to use it by House Republican leader Kevin McCarthy. Among Trump’s closest allies in Congress, McCarthy was among those echoing the president, saying “impeachment at this time would have the opposite effect of bringing our country together.” Democrats say they have the votes for impeachment. The impeachment bill from Reps. David Cicilline of Rhode Island, Ted Lieu of California, Raskin of Maryland and Jerrold Nadler of New York draws from Trump’s own false statements about his election defeat to Biden. Judges across the country, including some nominated by Trump, have repeatedly dismissed cases challenging the election results, and former Attorney General William Barr, a Trump ally, has said there was no sign of widespread fraud. The impeachment legislation also details Trump’s pressure on state ofﬁcials in Georgia to “ﬁnd” him more votes, as well as his White House rally ahead of the Capitol siege, in which he encouraged thousands of supporters last Wednesday to “ﬁght like hell” and march to the building. The mob overpowered police, broke through security lines and windows and rampaged through the Capitol, forcing lawmakers to scatter as they were ﬁnalizing Biden’s victory over Trump in the Electoral College. ɗɷŒŵþąŵɎɷűąŵĜŒŵňɷÚŊþɷĪŊƄąŵűŵąƄɷþĪÚĞŊŒŻƄĪøɷƄąŻƄŻ ɗɷűŵąŻøŵĪöąɷňąþĪøÚƄĪŒŊŻɷÚŊþɷŒƄĦąŵɷƄŵąÚƄňąŊƄŻ MCHD ɗɷŵąĜąŵŵÚŁŻɷƄŒɷŻűąøĪÚŁĪŻƄŻɷ Call to schedule an appointment TODAY!
