Sarah Hawley | Sentinel

A thin layer of ice covered the surface of the pond on Mulberry Avenue Tuesday morning, a reminder of the winter weather and below freezing temperatures of the
past few days. Even the Mulberry Pond ducks stayed on the shore and out of the icy water on Tuesday morning (pictured at the far left). While Tuesday brought a brief
warm-up and with warmer temperatures expected on Wednesday, the colder temperatures are expected to return later in the week and into the weekend.

Pomeroy Council hears project updates
By Kayla Hawthorne
Special to the Sentinel

POMEROY — The Pomeroy
Village Council gave updates
on several projects, committees
and roles.
Pomeroy Mayor Don Anderson said the U.S. Army Corps
of Engineers, Huntington District, is working on the parking
lot and riverbank stabilization
project. They were able to
grade stone to build up a keyway, which will allow them to
continue working if the river
rises again. The village is still

working to secure the matching
funds of $120,000 to complete
the project. Anderson stated
that they do not want to borrow any additional funds and
are looking at options.
In other business, the council
is waiting for the ﬁnal proposal
for the water meter project.
They expect to receive more
information and start discussing at the next meeting.
The village council members
appointed Adam Salisbury as
the Village Solicitor with ﬁve
votes, as John Musser was
absent from the meeting.

Councilman Nick Michael
was appointed as the Village
Council President.
Councilmen Phil Ohlinger,
Brian Young and Nick Michael
were appointed to the Fireﬁghters Dependency Board.
Mayor Anderson said he
wants to create a Christmas
decorating committee to get
started on planning decorations for the village later this
year. He requested that the
council donates $1,000 on
behalf of the village, despite
Fiscal Ofﬁcer Susan Baker
saying the village could not

afford that price. Anderson
also said the money from the
merchants’ sign rental would
go toward the decoration
costs.
The council went into a
closed, executive session
about the purchase of property. Anderson said there was
no conclusion made.
The next meeting of Pomeroy Village Council is scheduled for Monday, Feb. 4 at 7
p.m.

The Daily Sentinel.

Mary T. Byer-Hill,
Meigs County Auditor, reminds all Meigs
County residents that
the deadline to purchase 2019 dog tags
will be Thursday, Jan.
31, 2019. After Jan. 31,
an additional penalty
fee will be charged.
The law requires that
all dogs be licensed.
Section 955.01 of the
Ohio Revised Code
states that every person who owns, keeps
or harbors a dog more
than three months of
age, shall purchase a
license for that dog
before the 30th day of
January of each year.
You will have the
option to purchase a
one year , three year
or permanent tag for
your dog. The one
year dog tag will be
$12 and is valid for the

calendar year in which
it is issued (2019). The
State of Ohio allows
for County Auditor’s
to provide dog owners
the option of purchasing a dog tag that will
be valid for three (3)
years as well as the
option to purchase a
permanent tag for your
dog. The cost of the
3 year tag will be $36
and $120 for the permanent tag.
Kennel licenses will
also be available for a
person, partnership,
firm, company, or corporation professionally
engaged in the business of breeding dogs
for sale. The cost of
a kennel license will
be $60 and that will
include five tags. Additional kennel tags can
be purchased for $1
each.

If you wish to purchase your tags by
mail, a printable application is available for
both kennel license
and individual dog
license on the Auditor’s website at www.
meigscountyauditor.
org. When submitting
your license by mail,
please include a self
addressed stamped
envelope along with
your application and
payment made payable
to the Meigs County
Auditor.
Dog licenses may be
purchased at the Meigs
County Auditor’s
Office during the hours
of 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., or
at the Meigs County
Canine Rescue and
Adoption Center.
Information provided by the
Meigs County Auditor’s Office.

POINT PLEASANT,
W.Va. — Richard Hurt,
49, of Gallipolis, a man
who was sentenced in
Ohio’s Gallia Common
Pleas Court in February
2017 to four years in
an Ohio facility for the
third-degree felony of
tampering with evidence
and ﬁfth-degree felony of
abuse of a a corpse, will
be appearing in Mason
County Circuit Court
Wednesday for a reported
plea hearing.
In September 2017,
Hurt was indicted by
a grand jury in Mason
County for concealment
of a deceased human
body. The hearing on
Wednesday is tentatively
set to start at 10:30 a.m.
Hurt previously admitted
to the act of dismembering Gallia resident Jessica
Berry with a saw.
“It’s been 225 days
today since Tammy (Taylor, Berry’s mother) has
seen her daughter alive,”
said Gallia Prosecutor
Jason Holdren at Hurt’s
sentencing in February
2017. “I think it’s important, Judge, to go through
the facts and somewhat
of a timeline so the court
and everyone understands the seriousness of
Mr. Hurt’s actions in this
case.”
According to Holdren,
July 18, 2016 Jamie Lambert and Hurt picked up
Jessica Berry from her
mother’s home in Gallipolis and Berry took
clothes for a few days.
Hurt had given a statement saying he wanted to
see two women engage in
sexual activity, according
to Holdren. That was the
arranged plan, according to Holdren, for Hurt,
Lambert and Berry to
engage in such that evening. The three proceeded to a home on White
Road in Gallia County.
Berry and Lambert went
into the bathroom of that
home and used heroin
to the point that Berry
became unresponsive
and overdosed. Lambert
assisted her in coming
out of that overdose.
Holdren said she was ﬁne
the rest of the evening.
Berry stayed the night on
White Road.
July 19, 2016, Berry
took additional drugs,
according to Holdren.
She became unresponsive
and Hurt tried to resuscitate her by putting her
in a bath. At some point,
she died. An Ohio Bureau
of Criminal Investigation analysis of Hurt’s
cell phone shows that at
11:30 p.m. of that day,
he searched what to do if
someone had overdosed
with heroin. Hurt later
made a statement, said
Holdren, to law enforcement “I should have taken
this girl to the ER.”
“At some point, in the
evening of July 19 to the
morning hours of July

Senate set to vote on 2 competing plans to end shutdown
By Andrew Taylor,
Jill Colvin
and Lisa Mascaro
Associated Press

WASHINGTON —
Senate leaders on Tuesday agreed to vote this
week on two competing
proposals to end the
government shutdown,
including President
Donald Trump’s plan to
have Congress pay for the
long-stalled wall along the
U.S.-Mexico border. It’s
likely to fail.
The other measure,
from Democrats, also
seems unlikely to pass. It
would temporarily reopen
the government through
Feb. 8 while talks on border security continue.
Either package would
need to hit the 60-vote
threshold to advance on
Thursday, a tall order in
the narrowly divided Senate where Republicans

hold a 53-47 majority.
Trump’s wall is the key
sticking point in his
standoff with Democrats
that has led to a partial
government shutdown.
But the agreement
reached to at least start
voting sets the stage for
senators to give serious
thought to the options
as the shutdown enters a
second month, and some
800,000 federal workers
face another Friday without paychecks.
Senate Democratic
leader Chuck Schumer
predicted Trump’s proposal “will be roundly
defeated.” But the Democratic bill, which already
passed in the House,
“could break us out of
the morass we are in,” he
said.
“If you’re looking for a
way to open up the government, this is the way,”
the New York senator

including $5.7 billion to
fund the wall — “would
break through this stalemate and would reopen
government swiftly and
deliver on a number of
other policy priorities.”
Democrats, though,
panned Trump’s proposal
and said the immigrant
protections are inadequate — only offering
temporary deportation
relief that Trump helped
cause by announcing
an end to the Deferred
Action for Childhood
Arrivals program protecting young “Dreamer”
immigrants.

Boys school shuts down amid fallout
By Bruce Schreiner
and John Minchillo
Associated Press

COVINGTON, Ky. — A Kentucky boys’ school shut down its
campus Tuesday as a precaution
and a small protest was held outside their diocese as fallout continued over an encounter involving
white teenagers, Native American
marchers and a black religious sect
outside the Lincoln Memorial last
week.
President Donald Trump tweeted early Tuesday that the students at Covington Catholic High
School “have become symbols of
Fake News and how evil it can
be” but says he hopes the teens
will use the attention for good,
and “maybe even to bring people
together.”
The recorded images that initially generated outrage on social
media were tightly focused on the
students wearing “Make America

Great Again” hats, who seemed to
laugh derisively as they surrounded an elderly Native American
beating a drum.
Longer videos from wider
perspectives emerged later over
the Martin Luther King holiday
weekend. They revealed the
drummer — Omaha Nation elder
Nathan Phillips — had intervened
between the boys and the religious
sect. That came when the teens
seemed to be getting rowdier, and
the black street preacher who had
been shouting racist statements
against both groups was escalating his rhetoric.
Soon, all sides were pointing
ﬁngers, giving their own accounts
about feeling victimized and misunderstood.
“We just don’t know what the
volatility of the situation is with
these people that react and they
don’t know the full story. And it’s
very scary,” Jill Hamlin of Cincinnati, who was a chaperone as the

boys attended an anti-abortion
rally, told FOX News Tuesday
morning.
The American Indian Movement
Chapter of Indiana and Kentucky
held a small protest outside the
Roman Catholic Diocese of Covington, with activists outnumbered by
the media.
Albert Running Wolf, a Native
American from Fort Thomas, Kentucky, referred to Nathan Phillips
during the event as “an honorable
man” who was trying to be a peacemaker, but ended up being verbally
attacked. He said that Phillips
deserves an apology for what he
endured.
“It doesn’t matter what color
they were, what political factions
they were. It was disrespect—
straightforward.”
Protesters ended the rally on a
street corner near the diocese by
singing a song from the American
Indian Movement while two Native
Americans beat on drums.

ATHENS — The ﬁrst
lecture in Ohio University’s new “Challenging Dialogues” lecture
series will take place
at 7 p.m. Jan. 24 in
Baker University Center
Ballroom A with Dr.
Carolyn Lukensmeyer,
executive director of
the National Institute
for Civil Discourse. The
lecture, which will also
be live-streamed, is free
and open to the public.
Dr. Lukensmeyer is
the founder of AmericaSpeaks, a non-partisan,
non-proﬁt organization
that is internationally
renowned as being a
leader in the ﬁeld of
deliberative democracy
and citizen engagement.
The lecture, entitled
“The Power of In/Civility: Engaging in Challenging Conversations
Across the University,
Community, Nation,”
will include audience
members in a thoughtprovoking dialogue.
Dr. Robert Ingram, Dr.
Laura Black and Dr.
Lukensmeyer will lead a
discussion following the
lecture.
“It is natural for complex cultures to experience opposing forces
that clash, and exploring the ways in which
those on opposite ends
of the spectrum communicate with one another
is extremely important,” said Dr. Lukensmeyer. “Educating the
public regarding how
to engage with, and
respond to, individuals
whose viewpoints differ
from their own is vital
to maintaining a deliberative democracy.”
Prior to her evening
lecture, Dr. Lukensmeyer will also host a

which was formed by
President Nellis in April
2018.
The ongoing speaker
series is anticipated to
vary in style and format
based on topics and presenters; formalized lectures, panel discussions
or multiple “Ted Talkstyle” presentations are
possible.
President Nellis said
he believes it is higher
education’s responsibility to serve the greater
good by expanding and
improving humankind’s
understanding of the
world around us. He
added that he hopes
this lecture series will
help to bring clarity to a
world too often clouded
in confusion.
“I look forward to
hearing Dr. Lukensmeyer’s interactive presentation,” said President
Nellis. “I hope attendees
are able to take the
knowledge they acquire
from this new lecture
series and positively
apply it during their
own difﬁcult dialogues.”

It’s not every day someone comes up to you and
says, “We want you to buy our house.” But, back
in 1958, those exact words were said to George
and me by a lady at church. She then
added something like: “Now that
you are engaged to be married, you
will be needing a place to live. We
need the money you would give us

were engaged, and when we got married, we would need a place to live.
But, buy their house? Before we got married? Use
their furniture for awhile? It seemed just a little
odd. But, I knew this woman, and we trusted her
completely. She also added that they would need
for us to pay them for it by the middle of the next
month, which would be November, while our wedding wasn’t going to take place until two months
later in January of 1959.
When I went back to work the next day, a person from Sunbury Savings and Loan came in the
ofﬁce to ﬁle their real estate documents. I jokingly
said to him that George and I had a chance to
buy a house, and we weren’t even married yet. I
expected him to laugh, or say something like, “Are
you crazy?” But, instead, he said, “I’m sure we
could help you with that. Come to our ofﬁce Saturday morning, and we’ll see if we can work out
a way to help you get that house. We may be able
to loan you the money.” The money? How much
money are we talking about? I need to remind
you that this happened back in 1958. That year
the prices for land and homes, as well as people’s
salaries, were nothing like today. The price for the
house was $7,000. It was on a quarter of an acre
lot and had three bedrooms, one bath, living room,
dining room, kitchen, utility room and a front
porch. There was a one-car garage in the side
yard, and it also had four apple trees, one large
pine tree, and three big elm trees spread over the
rest of the property.
With nothing to lose, we decided to check out
said company, and after discussing the terms, we
thought it just might work out. But, there was one
situation that had to be addressed. It just so happens that I had just turned 22 and George was still
20. In order to sign a mortgage, a person has to be
at least 21 years of age. And so, with that piece of
information, we assumed the transaction wouldn’t
be going through. However, they suggested that as
an unmarried woman, we could put the house in
my name alone. And that way, I, alone, would be
the only one to have to sign the mortgage. Back
in the 50s, you never heard much about a single
22-year-old woman buying a house and taking out
a mortgage by herself. But, soon after that morning, on Nov. 15, 1958, Sunbury S&amp;L and I owned
a house, and the deed and mortgage were in my
name alone.
The ﬁrst 10 years of living in our house passed
quickly, and we had a “mortgage burning” party,
since the mortgage was then paid off. During
those years, George built another room onto
the house, as well as a double-car garage and
a screened in patio. He also tore out 1/2 of the
kitchen wall to make a counter for the beneﬁt of
having more sitting space to eat. Being near an
elementary school, it was a good place to be raising our two daughters.
Like us, day by day now, our house is getting
older. It needs a facelift, as well as some fresh
paint. The hinges are creaking and the ﬂoor
boards are squeaking. It makes me think of that
No. 1 song from Your Hit Parade days in the 50s
called “This Old House.” It is aging just as we are
at this time of our lives. And, to bring us up to
date on the purchase from so long ago, we now
have a Survivorship Deed made out so that our
home is now in both of our names. And, this one
house has been our only home for every day of our
entire 60 years of marriage.

ren. “(The Point Pleas­
ant homeowner) had
received a phone call and
said Hurt had called her
and asked if she would
be going home alone.
(The owner) was gone
for a few days. (The
owner) thought it was
odd for Hurt to ask that.
(The owner) advised
she returned home and
called Hurt at 3:39 p.m.
(The owner) advised
that she asked Hurt to
come to her residence to
talk to him. (The owner)
advised Hurt told her
he had a lot going on
and would not be com­
ing over. (The owner)
stated she went out to
her garage and opened
the door which leads to
the deck. Upon opening
the door, she detected
an odor. (The owner)
advised the floor portion
of the deck had been
neatly placed in its origi­

nal location.”
The owner made
contact with another
individual she knew
through work. Both dis­
cussed hearing about the
previous investigation
being run by the Gallia
Sheriff’s Office in search
of Berry. Both women
became suspicious due
to Hurt’s recent behavior.
Daughters of the home­
owner inspected the floor
portions where the deck
behind the garage had
been replaced before hap­
pening upon the grave
site.
“Mr. Hurt, without
being asked, went over,
removed the deck, but
kept one piece intact to
place it over the grave, ”
Holdren said.
According to state­
ments, Hurt drove by the
location several times the
following day to see if the
body had been discov­
ered before being picked
up by West Virginia law
enforcement. He later
made a confession. Hold­
ren said Hurt confessed
to tearing down the deck
to bury the body and
intended to build another
deck over the grave.
The grave, according
to Holdren, was four
feet deep and three feet
wide. The grave was cov­
ered with lime and dirt.
Holdren said reports said
that cuts made to Berry’s
body were made after she
had passed. The report
also said there were no

obvious signs of injury
on the body. Autopsy
records acquired by Ohio
Valley Publishing listed
the reason of death to be
undetermined.
“The purposes of sen­
tencing are to protect the
public from future crime
from the offender and
to punish the offender,”
Holdren said. “I believe
you would be hardpressed to think of facts
that are more heinous
and egregious than what
we’ve got here. Judge,
this case has shined a
very bright light on sev­
eral things. One is that
drugs, specifically heroin,
are stealing away our
loved ones in this county.
Mr. Hurt knows that...
Yet, he takes advantage
of those addicted to
heroin, to play out and
fulfill his fantasy. The
other issue that comes to
light is that the penalty in
this case does not come
close to fitting the crime.
I’ve talked to Tammy
on many instances. She
is committed as am I
to working with our
legislation to change
this because this is a
true injustice. The only
sentence appropriate in
this is a maximum prison
term to run consecu­
tively. No parent ever
wants to bury a child, let
alone knowing the child
was treated in such a
manner.”
Also at the hearing in
February 2017, Jessica’s

sister, Dawn Berry, deliv­
ered Taylor’s statement
to the court.
“Why did you do
that?,” said Dawn, utter­
ing her mother’s words.
“What you have done to
my daughter, how can
you live with yourself?
How can you sleep at
night knowing what you
did? How can you sit
there and say what you
say when you dismem­
bered my daughter’s
body? You know how
many lives you have
affected. ...”
Also speaking were
Defense Counsel Ronald
Janes and Hurt.
“Nothing I can say
explains the outrageous­
ness and stupidity of
these acts,” said Janes
in February 2017. “I can
only remind the court
that if the narrative is
correct, although he
misled law enforcement
on July 29, 2016, within
48 hours later, Mr. Hurt,
when confronted by
West Virginia authorities
admitted and accepted
responsibility for his
actions. That starts to
say something positive
about this senseless, stu­
pid, irrational behavior.”
During the hearing in
Gallia Common Pleas
Court, Hurt apologized
to Jessica’s family and
said “I accept responsibil­
ity for my actions.”

“He was employed at
Kyger Creek. I under­
stand one of the things
the court will look at
is his exemplary work
record and his (military)
service to the country.
My comments should not
be interpreted that I am
diminishing any of those
things. But after doing
this, he was able to work
July 22, 2016, July 26,
2016 and July 29, 2016,
all those days at Kyger
Creek as if nothing had
happened.”
The defense offered no
objection while Holdren
addressed the court.
Holdren continued
that on July 24 the same
year, six days after Taylor
had seen her daughter
last, she reported Berry
missing. Taylor was also
concerned because Berry
had also been addicted to
heroin and had only two
Narcan opioid revival kits
left. Berry had overdosed
previously eight times.
July 29, Holdren said,
was important because
Hurt encountered law
enforcement. After dis­
membering the body and
taking it to West Virgin­
ia, he said to law enforce­
ment he had picked Berry
up from the White Road
residence and taken her
to a VFW post. Berry left
his vehicle and he had
not made contact with
her since, Holdren said
according to statements
taken from Hurt.

CENTENARY, Ohio — Those offensive struggles.
The Gallia Academy girls basketball team was
held to single digits in each of the four quarters
as visiting Ironton claimed a season sweep on
Monday night with a 60-24 Ohio Valley Conference victory in Gallia County.
The host Blue Angels (6-10, 2-7 OVC) fell into
a 16-4 ﬁrst quarter hole and ultimately never
recovered as the Lady Tigers (7-8, 7-3) followed
with a 20-7 second quarter surge to secure a
commanding 36-11 intermission advantage.
The Orange and Black used a 16-5 run in the
third to extend their lead out to 52-16, then
both team traded eight points apiece down the
stretch to wrap up the 36-point outcome.
The Lady Tigers also posted a 69-33 decision
in Lawrence County back on Dec. 6, 2018.
The Blue and White made eight total ﬁeld
goals — including a single trifecta from Preslee
Reed — and also went 7-of-10 at the free throw
line for 70 percent.
Maddy Petro paced the hosts with nine
points, followed by Reed and Junon Ohmura
with ﬁve markers each. Koren Truance and
Chasity Adams also added three and two points,
respectively.
Ironton netted 26 total ﬁeld goals — including ﬁve 3-pointers — and also went 1-of-3 at the
charity stripe for 33 percent.
Haylee Stevens hit four trifectas and paced
IHS with a game-high 14 points, followed by
Samantha LaFon with 12 points and Riley
Schreck with 11 markers. Jada Rogers was next
with nine points and Lydia Hannan contributed
four points.
Kameren Arden chipped in three points for
the victors, while Elli Williams and Abigail Patterson added two markers each. Sophie Caines
completed the scoring with a single point.

Gray traded from Yanks to Reds
NEW YORK (AP) —
Adding Sonny Gray to a
rotation already improved
by the offseason acquisitions of Tanner Roark
and Alex Wood has the
Cincinnati Reds thinking
about their ﬁrst NL Central title since 2012.
“I think we have a
group of guys that can
hold their own with anybody in this division. I
really do,” president of
baseball operations Dick
Williams said Monday
after ﬁnalizing a trade
with the New York Yankees for Gray. I know our
guys feel a sense of conﬁdence.”
Gray’s unsuccessful
stretch in New York
ended when the Yankees
traded the pitcher after
the 29-year-old righthander agreed to a contract with the Reds that
added $30.5 million from
2020-22 and includes a
2023 club option.
New York received
inﬁeld prospect Shed
Long and a high pick
in this year’s amateur
draft, then ﬂipped Long
to Seattle for 21-year-old
outﬁelder Josh Stowers.
The Yankees sent the
Reds left-hander Reiver
Sanmartin.
Derek Johnson, the
new Reds pitching coach
for manager David Bell,
was Vanderbilt’s pitching
coach when Gray played

for the Commodores from
2009-12. Johnson lives
in Nashville, Tennessee,
Gray’s offseason home,
and they keep in touch.
“It’s a guy who’s really
talented and a guy who I
think’s right in the middle
of his prime and also a
hungry guy,” Johnson
said. “I think that’s the
thing that we’re all counting on. I know what kind
of competitor Sonny is
and I know that last year
didn’t sit well with him
at all and he’s going to be
out to try to prove something not only to other
people but obviously to
himself, as well.”
After ﬁnishing last
in the NL Central at
67-95, the Reds acquired
Roark from Washington
and Wood from the Los
Angeles Dodgers, joining
a rotation that includes
Anthony DeSclafani and
Luis Castillo.
“It’s the best rotation
we’ve had in ﬁve years,”
general manager Nick
Krall said. “It makes you
feel better about where
you are.”
Cincinnati and New
York agreed to a deal
Friday, pending a window for Gray to reach a
long-term deal. Gray and
the Yankees settled on
a $7.5 million, one-year
contract on Jan. 11 that
avoided salary arbitration. He had been eligi-

ble for free agency after
this season, and his new
deal raises his guarantee
to $38 million over four
seasons.
Gray had a physical
Monday in Goodyear,
Arizona, where the
Reds hold spring training, while his agent, Bo
McKinnis, worked out
the contract with Krall.
For Williams, the longterm deal was key.
“We always wanted to
add three starters if we
could do so economically,” he said. “We didn’t
want to be in a position
where all three starters
would be becoming free
agents next year.”
Gray was 15-16 with
a 4.52 ERA overall
for New York, which
acquired him from Oakland in July 2017. He
was dropped from the
rotation last August
after he smirked when
fans booed as he walked
off the Yankee Stadium
mound in the third
inning of a 7-5 loss to
Baltimore. Gray had
a 6.98 ERA at Yankee
Stadium last year and a
3.17 ERA on the road.
“We really didn’t see
anything that was diminishing in terms of the
velocity and spin rates
and things like that,”
Williams said. “From
a physical standpoint
everything appears to be

there. And we think he’s
still at his age got plenty
of upside and shouldn’t
have any problem recapturing where he was.”
Yankees general manager Brian Cashman
had said throughout the
offseason he intended to
trade Gray, but Cashman
waited until CC Sabathia
was cleared to resume
working out following a
procedure last month to
insert a stent to clear a
blockage in an artery to
his heart.
New York receives the
Reds’ competitive balance round A selection,
currently 36th overall.
Gray is 59-52 with a
3.66 ERA in six seasons
with the Athletics and
Yankees. He was an AllStar in 2015, his second
straight 14-win season.
Long, 23, hit .261 with
12 homers, 56 RBIs and
19 steals last year with
Double-A Pensacola of
the Southern League.
He was drafted in 2013
and requires a spot on
the 40-man roster.
Stowers, 21, was
selected by Seattle in
the second round with
the 54th overall pick
last year and signed for
a $1.1 million bonus.
He hit .260 with 15
doubles, ﬁve homers,
28 RBIs and 20 steals in
58 games with Class A
Everett.

Cleveland Cavaliers’ Ante Zizic (41), from Croatia, and Chicago
Bulls’ Lauri Markkanen (24), from Finland, and Chandler
Hutchison (15) battle for the ball in the first half Monday in
Cleveland.

Bulls snap
10-game skid,
defeat Cavs
CLEVELAND (AP) — Somebody was bound to
break a long skid Monday — Zach LaVine and the
Chicago Bulls seized the opportunity.
LaVine scored 25 points and the Bulls broke a
10-game losing streak, beating the Cleveland Cavaliers 104-88 in a meeting of teams that began the
day with the worst records in the NBA.
“It stinks to lose 10 in row,” said guard Kris
Dunn, who scored 13 points and was one of ﬁve
Bulls to hit double ﬁgures. “A game like this can
galvanize us.”
Chicago (11-36) never trailed and has won all
three games this season against Cleveland (9-39),
which has lost 16 of 17 overall.
“We talked about the ﬁrst quarter starts,” Bulls
coach Jim Boylen said. “Our energy and spirit
were good, kind of gave us momentum into the
rest of the game.”
The Bulls hit 15 of 29 3-pointers and built a
21-point lead in the fourth quarter. Chicago won
for the ﬁrst time since Dec. 28 against Washington.

Baylor defeats West
Virginia 85-73

Lady Falcons fend off Southern

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) — Both Baylor and
West Virginia upset AP Top 10 teams on Saturday, but
only one team got to build on that momentum.
Makai Mason scored a season-high 29 points as the
Bears cruised to an 85-73 win over West Virginia on
Monday night.
Baylor (12-6, 4-2 Big 12) survived a second-half
comeback attempt to grab their fourth win in ﬁve
games.
“Anytime you play a West Virginia team with Coach
Huggins, you got to ﬁght them for 40 minutes,” Baylor coach Scott Drew said.
Baylor got out to as much as a 17-point lead in the
ﬁrst half behind big 3-point plays by Devonte Bandoo.
The Bears extended their lead to 59-38 with just
under 16 minutes left.
“I felt pretty relaxed,” Mason said. “We did a great
job of preparing, so that deﬁnitely helped.”
Then freshman Brandon Knapper started to turn
the tide for the Mountaineers (9-10, 1-6), leading his
team to a quick 13-2 run to cut the Baylor lead to 10
with just under 11 minutes to go.

Raiders
From page 6

I give Southern a lot
of credit because they
haven’t won a game and
they never rolled over.
They played hard and
gave us a really tough
test.
“Now, I am proud of
the fact that our girls
gutted one out. It wasn’t
pretty and it wasn’t perfect, but we found a way
to get out of here with a
victory while not being
at our best. This does
give us some momentum
going forward, but we are
going to have to step up
the intensity a bit over
the next few weeks.”
Conversely, SHS coach
Alan Crisp only found
disappointment in the
ﬁnal outcome because he
was — for the most part
— pretty pleased with the
rest of the evening.
“This was a small victory for us over the course
of this year. We played
pretty well tonight and
started doing some things
that we’ve been trying
to do all year, but the
problem is we are just not
scoring,” Crisp said. “The
kids gave a great effort,
we aren’t quitting and we
are improving, so there
are some encouraging
things to take away from
this one. We just have to
keep getting better as the
tournament approaches.”
Phoenix Cleland gave
Southern its only lead of
the night with a basket
49 seconds into play,
but Kelsey Brown and
Hannah Jacks added
consecutive baskets that
provided the hosts with
a permanent lead at the
5:25 mark of the ﬁrst.
The Lady Raiders —
behind six points apiece
from Jacks and Kaylee
Gillman — ended up
closing the opening canto
with a 12-4 run to secure
a 16-6 edge.
The Lady Tornadoes
cut the deﬁcit down to six
on three separate occasions in the second frame,
and a 9-5 run allowed the
guests to close to within
21-15 at the break.
The Silver and Black
extended the lead back
out to 10 points on two
different occasions in the
third, the last of which
came at 27-17 after a
Brown basket at the 4:32

mark.
Southern closed the
third period with a 6-1
spurt and faced a 28-23
deﬁcit headed into the
ﬁnale.
The guests went almost
three minutes without a
point as the Lady Raiders
made a quick 8-0 surge
out of the fourth quarter
gates, extending the lead
out to 36-23 with 5:31
remaining.
The Purple and Gold
were never closer than 11
points the rest of the way
as the hosts ended regulation with an 8-7 spurt
to wrap up the 14-point
outcome.
The Lady Raiders netted 18-of-62 ﬁeld goal
attempts for 29 percent,
including a 5-of-17 effort
from behind the arc for 29
percent. The hosts were
also 3-of-4 at the free
throw line for 75 percent.
Jacks led RVHS with a
double-double effort of 17
points and 14 rebounds,
followed by Gillman with
12 points and Brown with
nine markers.
Cierra Roberts, Savannah Reese and Lauren
Twyman also had two
points apiece for the victors. Brown and Reese
also grabbed six and four
rebounds, respectively.
The Lady Tornadoes
made 11-of-43 shot
attempts for 26 percent,
including a 1-of-7 effort
from behind the arc for 14
percent. The guests were
also 7-of-12 at the charity
stripe for 58 percent.
Phoenix Cleland led
SHS with 11 points, followed by Jordan Hardwick and Shelby Cleland
with six points apiece.
Kayla Evans was next
with three points, while
Brooke Crisp and Ella
Cooper rounded things
out with two points each.
Shelby Cleland hauled
in a team-high 13
rebounds, with Phoenix
Cleland and Evans respectively grabbing eight and
six caroms.

Rivera 1st unanimous HOF pick
By Jake Seiner
AP Sports Writer

NEW YORK — Mariano Rivera has become
baseball’s ﬁrst unanimous Hall of Fame selection, elected Tuesday
along with Roy Halladay,
Edgar Martinez and
Mike Mussina.
Rivera received all
425 votes in balloting
by the Baseball Writers’
Association of America
announced. The quartet
will be enshrined in
Cooperstown along with
Today’s Game Era Committee selections Harold
Baines and Lee Smith on
July 21.
Ken Griffey Jr. held
the mark for top percentage at 99.32 when he
was on 437 of 440 ballots two years ago.
Rivera is baseball’s
career saves leader
with 652. With a steady
demeanor and a fearsome cut fastball, he
won ﬁve World Series
over 19 seasons with the
New York Yankees. He
was always at his best
in October, getting 42
saves with a 0.70 ERA
over 16 postseasons,
including 11 saves in the
World Series.
Halladay, an ace with
the Toronto Blue Jays
and Philadelphia Phillies,
got 85.4 percent and will
be the ﬁrst posthumous
inductee since Deacon
White in 2013 and Ron
Santo in 2012. Halladay
died in November 2017
at 40 years old when an
airplane he was ﬂying
crashed into the Gulf of
Mexico off the coast of
Florida.
Martinez was a .312
hitter over 18 seasons
with Seattle. He got 85.4
percent in his 10th and
ﬁnal try on the writers’
ballot. He and Baines
will join 2014 inductee
Frank Thomas as the
only Hall of Famers to

submit a ballot. Ballou
announced Tuesday he
had changed his mind
and sent a ballot that
included Rivera.
Rivera and Smith
will be the seventh
and eighth relievers in
the Hall, joining Hoyt
Wilhelm (1985), Rollie
Fingers (1992), Dennis
Eckersley (2004), Bruce
Sutter (2006), Rich
Gossage (2008) and

Hurdles cleared, Patriots head to Super Bowl
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP)
— Tom Brady smiled his way
through the week leading up to
Sunday’s AFC championship
game, mostly brushing aside questions about being an underdog for
one of the few times during the
Patriots’ unprecedented run of
titles.
But when Rex Burkhead
crossed the goal line for a 2-yard
touchdown to give New England
a 37-31 overtime win over the
Kansas City Chiefs, Brady let joy
alter his usual coy demeanor.
He ripped off his helmet and
leapt wildly in the air as his teammates rushed the ﬁeld around
him. The Patriots were heading
back to another Super Bowl.
It will mark their third straight

appearance for the Patriots and
ninth overall for Brady, who again
will be chasing a record sixth
ring.
A victory over the NFC champion Los Angeles Rams would
also put an emphatic stamp on
what may have been the Patriots’
toughest road to a Super Bowl
since Brady and Bill Belichick
earned their ﬁrst ring together
in 2001.
“The odds were stacked
against us. It hasn’t been that
way in a while and it certainly
was this year,” Brady said.
The obstacles that Brady
referred to occurred both on and
off the ﬁeld for this latest incarnation of the Patriots.
The offseason saw the depar-

ture of several key players from
last year’s team that came up
short in a Super Bowl loss to
Philadelphia. Receiver Brandin
Cooks was traded to the Rams
and cornerback Malcolm Butler, running back Dion Lewis,
receiver Danny Amendola, and
offensive linemen Nate Solder
and Cam Fleming all left in free
agency.
Then came news that stalwart
receiver Julian Edelman would
be suspended for the ﬁrst four
games of the regular season for
violating the league’s policy on
performance enhancers.
It helped contribute to a surprise 1-2 start and the ﬁrst —
albeit small — signs of age for
the 41-year-old Brady.
