Larry Wilson, II, 37, of Detriot, and Miranda Hawley, 19, of Pomeroy, face multiple charges according to Pomeroy Police Chief Mark Proffitt after investigation and surveillance led to the search of a residence within the Village of Pomeroy. Proffitt and Patrolman Joe Barnhart stated that approximately $35,000 in cash, suspected heroin, marijuana, drug paraphernalia and other drugs were found in the residence on Butternut Avenue during the execution of a search warrant by the department. The individuals were arrested without incident. A loaded .45 semi automatic gun was also found at the residence. The Public Children Service Agency was also called, though the report does not indicate children were present at the time of the arrest. Proffitt stated that the suspected heroin would be sent to the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation to determine the exact weight. Some of the suspected drug was packaged for sale according to Proffitt. He stated that if the substance is determined to be heroin, it is the largest quantity he has seen in his more than 20 years in law enforcement. Barnhart, a former homeland security official, served as lead investigator on the case. He said that the agency had conducted interviews and surveillance, as well as utilizing other resources prior to the execution of the search warrant. Pomeroy Mayor Jackie Welker stated that he was proud of the department for their work in this case. “I hope this will send a message to others that activity such as this will not be tolerated in Pomeroy,” Sarah Hawley | Daily Sentinel added Welker.

Teacher claims self defense in abuse case Beth Sergent bsergent@civitasmedia.com POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. — The teacher accused of felony child abuse and misdemeanor battery on a student is speaking out about the situation — a situation he claims occurred because he was attempting to defend himself. James E. Jones, II, 52, Point Pleasant, is a mathematics teacher at Point Pleasant Junior/Senior High School, but has been suspended without pay after an incident that occurred on Feb. 13 during which he is accused of having a physical altercation with a 16-year-old male student. The criminal complaint filed in Mason County Magistrate Court states Jones was wrestling with a juvenile until they both started choking each other. This occurred in a classroom at PPJ/SHS. According to the complaint, this wrestling/choking got “out of control” and Jones, as the adult, allegedly continued in the activity until the juvenile’s face turned red and his airway was cut off. In addition, students in the classroom are cited as telling Jones to stop, again according to the complaint. The complaint does not state what preceded this “wrestling” or what prompted the situation. Jones spoke to the Point Pleasant Register on Wednesday about the incident, saying there was no wrestling match. He said the day in question was his first day back at work after being out sick with an upper respiratory infection which affected his breathing and his voice. Jones said it was about a minute before the bell was to ring for dismissal, and the student in question started to leave early. Jones said he asked the student to come back into the classroom until the bell actually rang, and when the student didn’t comply, he pulled on the student’s hoody sweatshirt and caught the string. Jones said at this point the student grabbed the lower part of Jones’ tie with one hand, pulling in a downward motion, and with the other hand grabbed the tie near the knot and began choking him. Jones said in an effort to defend himself, he grabbed the student’s hoody strings, crossed them and started to choke the student, as well, to get the student to stop. He said he told the student to let go which the student eventually did. Jones said the See CASE ‌| 5 �Thursday, February 28, 2013 Ohio Valley Forecast Meigs County Briefs Thursday: A chance of snow showers before noon, then a chance of rain and snow showers between noon and 4 p.m., then a chance of rain showers after 4 p.m. Cloudy, with a high near 40.

President Barack Obama will meet at the White House Friday with House and Senate leaders of both parties on the same day the cuts, known in Washington-speak as a “sequester,” take effect. This would put the White House and Congress essentially in the position of looking past the cuts to the next looming fiscal showdown: A March 27 deadline to continue govern- ment operations or force a government shutdown. White House spokesman Jay Carney said the White House talks, arranged Tuesday, are designed to be a “constructive discussion” about how to keep the cuts from having harmful consequences. Obama has been calling for a mix of spending cuts and tax increases to achieve deficit reduction goals. The White House has warned that the $85 billion in cuts could affect everything from commercial flights to classrooms and meat inspections. The cuts would slash domestic and defense spending, leading to forced unpaid days off for hundreds of thousands of government workers.

Rosenberg AP Business Writer NEW YORK — Ryan Lemire’s company isn’t waiting to see if federal budget cuts are going to hurt the software and hightech consulting business. It’s finding new customers. Geocent gets 85 percent of its business from contracts with the Navy, Air Force and Department of Veteran Affairs. The company always has done business with non-government clients, but the possibility that its revenue could be cut if automatic federal spending cuts take effect on Friday, made it work on diversifying its customer base even more. The company stepped up its sales efforts to companies and has won new accounts with health care, financial and insurance companies. Among the products Geocent is selling to companies is software to manage employee benefits. “We’ve just put a little more emphasis on it in the face of the uncertainty,” says Lemire, executive director of the Charleston, S.C. operations for Geocent, which is based in Metairie, La. Many small businesses that have contracts with the government are looking for new business elsewhere to blunt the impact of $85 billion in federal budget cuts slated to begin March 1. Researchers at George Mason University, which is located in Northern Virginia, the home of many government contractors, released a forecast of the possible nationwide impact of the cuts and warned that more than 157,000 jobs could be lost at small business contractors. Many contractors have already been feeling the pain. The cuts are the result of a bill that Congress passed in August 2011, mandating the cuts if lawmakers couldn’t agree to reduce the budget. Federal agencies already have cut back their spending in anticipation of the cuts. For defense contractors, the impending cuts are particularly troubling because they’re coming on top of an expected drop in defense spending as the U.S. withdraws troops from Afghanistan. Companies with Pentagon contracts began feeling the pinch of impending budget cuts late last year. The Department of Defense cut its spending more than 22 percent during the fourth quarter. While part of that drop was due to troop withdrawals, Small Business Administration head Karen Mills told reporters last week that in December, contracts were put on hold because of the expected budget cuts. “Small businesses suffered a large part of that,” she said. While Martha Lou “ML” Mackey’s company waits to see if her federal contracts are slashed starting Friday, she’s seeking new customers to make up for the revenue Beacon Interactive Systems stands to lose. Beacon, which gets 90 percent of its revenue from the federal government supplying information management software to the Navy that helps keep ships ready for their missions, decided before the current budget impasse to take the software it developed for the Navy and sell it to manufacturers and other companies. “We were already on that path, and I can assure you we are heartily embracing that path,” Mackey says. Beacon, which is based in Cambridge, Mass., is early in the process of seeking new customers. Selling to a company requires a marketing plan that’s different from the government. “Everything is different: How you record sales, how you price things,” Mackey says.

That includes contractors and subcontractors, their suppliers and companies like retailers that cater to their employees. The study did not estimate how much revenue small businesses might lose due to the cuts. It’s not known how many small businesses are federal contractors. The SBA roughly estimates there are more than 130,000. The George Mason researchers forecast that more than 81,000 jobs could be lost at small businesses that contract with the Pentagon, and another 76,000 could be lost at companies with contracts at other federal agencies. Laurie Moncrieff has been developing products at her company, Adaptive Manufacturing Solutions, to increase her sales outside of the government. The company, based in Burton, Mich. manufactures a variety of industrial products including fuel cells, alternative energy devices that use hydrogen and oxygen to produce electricity. It also manufactures medical equipment and has created a product to help maintain skating surfaces for ice rinks — a competitor to the Zamboni machines that are used at hockey games. Moncrieff is less dependent than many other small business owners on the government, since 30 percent of her revenue comes from contracts, primarily from the Pentagon and the Department of Energy. Her business from government contracts fluctuates — last year, it was 20 percent of her revenue. But she’s still worried that it might plunge with the impending cuts. Christopher S. Rugaber AP Economics Writer WASHINGTON — The political standoff over the U.S. budget is slowing the U.S. economy — more so than any hesitance by Americans to spend freely. That consensus emerges from the latest Associated Press Economy Survey just as the budget impasse in Washington is about to trigger automatic spending cuts across the economy. Many of the economists think consumer spending has slowed in response to higher tax burdens but will rebound later in the year. By contrast, they worry that the budget fights in Washington will persist for much of 2013 and drag on economic growth. Twenty-three of the 37 economists who responded to the survey last week say the paralysis in Washington is a significant factor in slowing the economy. The nextbiggest factors they cite, in order: too little job growth, excessive government regulation and taxes, stagnant wages and cautious bank lending. Only eight say they worry about consumers saving more and spending less. The budget impasse that will set off $85 billion in spending cuts starting Friday will shave an estimated half-percentage point from economic growth this year. It will be followed by other key deadlines: Much of the government will shut down March 27 without new legislation to authorize spending. Congress must also agree to raise the government’s borrowing limit in May or the government will risk defaulting on its debt. Meeting those deadlines could involve more spending cuts or tax increases. Either could further slow growth. The economists’ views suggest that the budgetary paralysis hurts the economy in at least two ways: It’s eroding consumer and business confidence, which could reduce spending and investment. And it will trigger the government spending cuts that are about to kick in. These come on top of the reduced takehome pay for most workers caused by the Social Security tax increase that took effect Jan. 1. Businesses “aren’t willing to hire people or invest in plant and equipment knowing the uncertainty,” says Sung Won Sohn, an economics professor at California State University Channel Islands. “The prudent thing to do is to postpone.” The AP survey collected the views of private, corporate and academic economists on a range of issues. Among their views: — The economy will grow 2.2 percent this year, a modest pace that roughly matches the average annual rate since the recession ended in June 2009. In a typical Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

But it hasn’t been enough to repair the damage from the Great Recession. Faster growth — 4 percent to 5 percent annually — would be needed to rapidly reduce the unemployment rate, which is still painfully high at 7.9 percent. — Growth should increase in 2014 to 2.9 percent, economists expect. That would be the fastest for a full year since the recession ended and would roughly match the average for the five years preceding the Great Recession. Still, the economists foresee the unemployment rate at 6.3 percent by the end of 2015 — nearly three years from now. In a normal economy, the unemployment rate is below 6 percent. — Just over half think Europe’s recession will end this year. That could benefit U.S. exporters. The 17 nations that use the euro have been in recession since mid2012. But some encouraging signs have emerged: Germany reported a larger-thanexpected budget surplus this month. And German business confidence rose in February for a fourth straight month. — Nearly half think sales of previously occupied homes will return to normal levels next year. More than six years after the housing bubble burst, residential real estate is finally rebounding. Sales in 2012 reached 4.7 million. That’s still well below the 5.5 million in annual sales considered healthy. But 17 of the economists think sales will return to that level in 2014. Ten others think it will happen in 2015. — Though the economists favor reducing the government’s budget deficit, nearly all prefer doing so over the long run rather than immediately. One consequence of the Washington budget battles was a deal between the White House and Congress to let a cut in Social Security taxes expire Jan. 1. That tax increase cost a typical household with $50,000 in income about $1,000. Retail sales slowed last month as a result. And some big retailers, notably Wal-Mart, blamed the Social Security tax increase for a darker outlook for sales in coming months. But when asked to choose the biggest reasons the economy isn’t growing faster, barely one in five economists cite consumers’ reluctance to spend. Why the lack of concern? Many economists think the damage from higher Social Security taxes will prove temporary. Most think consumer spending will slow in the first three months of this year but then pick up as companies add jobs. Some employers are even willing to pay more: After stagnating since the recession ended, hourly pay has been rising faster than inflation the past three months.

Voting rights law gets Supreme Court challenge WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court’s conservative justices voiced deep skepticism Wednesday about a section of a landmark civil rights law that has helped millions of Americans exercise their right to vote. In a fast-paced, 70-minute argument, the court’s liberals and conservatives engaged in a sometimes tense back and forth over whether there is an ongoing need in 2013 for a key provision of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. The measure requires states with a history of discrimination, mainly in the Deep South, to get approval before making changes in the way elections are held. Chief Justice John Roberts asked the government’s top Supreme Court lawyer whether the Obama administration thinks Southerners “are more racist than citizens in the North.” The answer from Solicitor General Donald Verrilli was no. The question, and others like it from the conservative justices, largely echoed the doubts they first expressed four years ago in a similar case that ended without resolving the constitutionality of the latest renewal of the voting rights law in 2006. They questioned whether there remain appreciable differences between the places covered by the law and those that are not. They also wondered whether there was any end in sight for a provision that intrudes on states’ rights to conduct elections and which was regarded as an emergency response to decades of state-sponsored discrimination in voting, despite the Fifteenth Amendment’s guarantee of the vote for black Americans. While the justices and law- yers uniformly praised the effectiveness of the advance approval requirement since it took effect in 1965, Justice Anthony Kennedy said the country passed other important laws that also ran their course. “Times change,” he said. If Kennedy sides with his four more conservative colleagues, there would be a five-justice majority to cut back on the law or get rid of it entirely. As his administration was defending the voting rights law, President Barack Obama was across the street unveiling a statue of civil rights pioneer Rosa Parks, who in 1955 famously refused to give up her seat on a city bus in Montgomery, Ala., to a white man. The court will have to decide whether the conditions that gave rise to that seminal event are, like the statue, a part of history, or whether they persist in parts of the nation. The court’s four liberal justices appeared uniformly to be willing to defer to the decision by Congress that more progress needs to be made before freeing states from the special federal monitoring. Case incident lasted “maybe 20 seconds”, and no one went to the floor in a wrestling match. Jones is also charged with a misdemeanor battery charge in a separate criminal complaint which alleges while engaged in the “wrestling match” with the juvenile on Feb. 13, Jones struck the student in the nose but denied doing this on purpose. Jones told the Point Pleasant Register he did not hit the student in the nose during the altercation on Feb. 13. He said last spring, this same student jumped him from behind in the hallway between classes, and in an effort to jerk away from the student, Jones said he accidentally hit him in the nose, but the student was not injured. Jones said this incident was reported to PPJ/SHS administration, but no disciplinary action was taken. Jones said he also requested the student be moved from his classroom at the beginning of this school year, but this did not happen either. Jones said he received a letter from Superintendent Suzanne Dickens about what happened on Feb. 13. In the letter, Dickens speaks about a student, whom Jones said is the student involved in the altercation. Dickens says a student brandished a knife in Jones’ class, also on Feb. 13, threw it into the tiles in the ceiling multiple times and, at one point, the knife fell, nearly striking another student. Dickens states Jones took no action and then engaged in “roughhousing” in the classroom. Jones said he had no idea a knife was in the classroom, saying he was helping a student at the front of the classroom, and this incident with the knife allegedly took place at the back of the classroom. He said he learned of the knife incident later that evening. Jones also said in the letter, Dickens accused him of having a classroom climate where regular instruction was not occurring — an accusation Jones also denied. The Point Pleasant Register asked Dickens about the knife incident and whether the student was disciplined for it, but she said she could not comment on personnel or student issues. Jones does not deny an altercation with a student took place on Feb. 13 but maintains he was defending himself. Jones said he will request a hearing with the Mason County Board of Education about retaining his employment at a board meeting set for 6 p.m., March 12 at the Mason County Career Center. He said he hopes parents, students and friends show up to support him and states he holds no ill will towards the student on the other end of the controversy. Jones said he has been a full-time math teacher at PPJ/SHS since 2002. He remains free on a $32,000 surety bond. BUNDLE & SAVE!

Photos by Bryan Walters | Daily Sentinel Members of the Eastern boys basketball team pose for a picture after earning a district trip to the Convocation Center following a 55-42 victory over Southern in a Division IV sectional final contest at Meigs High School. Eagles soar past Southern, 55-42 Bryan Walters bwalters@civitasmedia.com ROCKSPRINGS, Ohio — There was a difference of one possession between Eastern and Southern in a regular season split. The difference between the two was much greater in the postseason rubber match. Eastern allowed just 10 firsthalf points and ultimately led by as many as 22 points overall during a 55-42 victory over Southern in a Division IV sectional final Tuesday night at Larry R. Morrison Gymnasium on the campus of Meigs High School. The fifth-seeded Eagles (9-14) led all but 3:24 of the 32-minute affair, as the guests jumped out to a 13-6 advantage after eight minutes of play. The Tornadoes (1013) made their final basket of the first period at the 1:10 mark after a layup by Dennis Teaford made it a 10-6 contest. Fourth-seeded Southern went on to miss its next 18 consecutive field goal attempts — including a 0-for-14 effort in the second quarter — over a 10:37 span, which finally ended with a Teaford basket at the 6:32 mark of the third canto. By then, EHS owned a 2812 advantage and was well on its way to victory. The Eagles — who claimed a sizable 47-28 edge in rebounding — committed a dozen turnovers in the final stanza, but SHS could never get closer than 10 points the rest of the way. It is the 16th sectional title overall and fifth in six years for the EHS boys basketball program, and it is also the first for secondyear head coach Corey Britton. Britton spoke afterwards about the importance of this win for his troops. “We had one goal at the beginning of the year, and one goal only, and that was for us to make it to the Convo,” Britton said. “We were 3-12 at one point this season and nobody believed in our kids. All the credit in the world goes to our kids, because they kept plug- Eastern junior Chase Cook (30) releases a shot attempt over Southern defenders during the first half of Tuesday night’s D-4 sectional final contest at Larry R. Morrison Gymnasium in Rocksprings, Ohio. ging away and they kept believing. We got it done … and it’s an amazing feeling. I’m so proud for those kids right now.” Conversely, it was a tough night for sixth-year SHS coach Jeff Caldwell — who watched the Tornadoes’ streak of five straight district appearance come to an end. Caldwell noted that the second quarter scoring lull certainly didn’t help things. “If you can’t score, you can’t win. Eastern was having trouble scoring in the first half as well, but the difference was that they were hurting us on offensive rebounding and they were able to get some easy buckets off that,” Caldwell said. “Eastern played with a lot more confidence than we did, and it seemed like they got all the loose basketballs and converted some of those into points. That was the difference tonight.” Eastern won the first matchup by a 54-51 decision at home back on December 14, but the Tornadoes salvaged a split by claiming a 50-44 decision in the final game See EAGLES ‌| 8 OVP Sports Schedule Lady Defenders rally past Parkersburg Christian, 56-47 Thursday, Feb. 28 Wrestling GAHS at OHSAA D-2 Championships, 3 p.m. Friday, March 1 Boys Basketball OVCS vs. Emmanuel Christian at OCU, 6 p.m. PPHS-Hurricane winner vs. Winfield-Nitro winner, 7:30 Girls Basketball OVCS vs. Emmanuel Christian at OCU, 3 p.m. Wrestling GAHS at OHSAA D-2 Alex Hawley ahawley@civitasmedia.com Championships, 10 a.m. PARKERSBURG, W.Va. — Now that’s saving your best for last.

EHS netted 7-of-27 shots in the opening 16 minutes for 26 percent, while Southern was 3-of-23 from the field for 13 percent. Carnahan and Pullins added consecutive scores to push the lead out to 28-10 before Teaford’s basket at 6:32 ended Southern’s field goal drought, but the Eagles answered with an 11-7 run to take their first 20-point lead at 39-19 with 2:10 left in the third. Eastern finished the period with a small 6-4 spurt to secure a 45-23 cushion headed into the finale, its largest lead of the game. The Eagles committed seven turnovers and had zero shot attempts in the opening 3:05 of the fourth, and SHS went on a 16-4 charge to pull to within 49-39 with 2:23 left in regulation. EHS closed the game with a 6-3 run to wrap up the 13-point triumph. Eastern advances to a Division IV district semifinal contest at 6:15 p.m. Monday at the Ohio University Convocation Center in Athens. The Eagles will face the winner of the Portsmouth Clay-Portsmouth Notre Dame contest held Wednesday night at Lucasville Valley High School. EHS connected on 17-of-48 field goal attempts for 35 percent overall, including a 3-of-10 effort from threepoint range for 30 percent. The guests committed 25 turnovers and were also 18-of-29 at the free throw line for 62 percent. From Page 6 at Charles W. Hayman Gymnasium back on February 15. SHS owned a slim 101-98 edge in overall scoring headed into Tuesday night. Southern’s only lead of the night came at the 6:49 mark of the first after Trenton Wolfe converted a layup for a 2-0 edge, but Chase Cook followed with five straight points over the next two-plus minutes — allowing EHS to claim a permanent lead at 5-2 with 4:36 left in the canto. Cook and Max Carnahan followed with consecutive baskets for the Eagles’ biggest lead of the first quarter at 10-2 with 3:24 remaining, but Teaford added consecutive buckets to pull the guests to within four with 1:10 left in the period. SHS was never closer the rest of the way, and Kirk Pullins converted an old-fashioned three-point play with 46 seconds left — allowing the guests to secure a 13-6 edge after one period of play. Southern made a small 3-2 run over the opening five minutes of the second canto, but a Troy Gantt free throw at the 2:50 mark sparked a 9-1 surge to close the half — giving the Eagles their biggest lead of the half, a 24-10 cushion at the intermission. Eastern owned a 24-16 rebounding edge in the first half and committed just eight turnovers, compared to 10 Max Carnahan led Eastern with 12 points, followed by Chase Cook and Kirk Pullins with 11 markers apiece. Zakk Heaton and Troy Gantt respectively chipped in eight and seven points, while Christian Speelman and Brent Welch rounded out the scoring with four and two markers. The Tornadoes were 15-of-49 from the field for 31 percent, including a 2-of-13 effort from behind the arc for 15 percent. SHS had 23 turnovers and also went 10-of-19 at the charity stripe for 53 percent. Tristen Wolfe paced Southern with a game-high 18 points, but only four of those came in the first half. Dennis Teaford was next with seven points, followed by Hunter Johnson, Trenton Deem and Zac Beegle with four markers apiece. Taylor McNickle and Tanner Roush each chipped in two points, while Chandler Drummer rounded out the scoring with one marker. It was the final basketball game for Southern senior Adam Pape, who had his season end a few weeks ago to a knee injury. Caldwell was praiseful of his lone upperclassman and all that he has meant to the Purple and Gold over the years. “Losing Adam hurt us. He always gave us great effort and most of the games we won were games that he played well in,” Caldwell said. “We are certainly going to miss him, and I wish him nothing but the best in the future.” OVP Sports Briefs Wahama HOF Trustee meeting MASON, W.Va. — The Wahama High School Athletic Hall of Fame Board of Trustees will be conducting its first meeting of the 2013 season at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, March 5, at the Riverside Golf Club.

Harbaugh’s team won the Super Bowl, beating his brother Jim’s San Francisco 49ers 34-31 for the Ravens’ second NFL title. He graduated from the southwest Ohio school in 1984. A bronze, life-size statue of Harbaugh will be added to the Cradle of Coaches display on a plaza outside Yager Stadium early next year, joining the statues of Paul Brown, Bo Schembechler, Weeb Ewbank, Ara Parseghian, Earl “Red” Blaik, Carm Cozza, Paul Dietzel, and John Pont. The statues honor Miami graduates who have been named a coach of the year at the college or professional level, won a national college or NFL title, or been inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame or the Pro Football Hall of Fame. “To me, there is no greater recognition in coaching,” Harbaugh said in a statement. “To be included with these great men is something only dreamed about.” When the Ravens won the Su- per Bowl, Harbaugh joined Ewbank and Brown as Miami alumni who have taken their teams to NFL titles. Ewbank won NFL titles with the Baltimore Colts and a Super Bowl title with the New York Jets. Paul Brown won NFL titles with the Cleveland Browns before the Super Bowl era. Buckeyes hope Ex-NFL, WVU QB Pat White on comeback trail they’ve learned from earlier game COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — There’s something about traveling to Northwestern that seems to summon problems for the Ohio State Buckeyes. A year ago, the Buckeyes were ranked 10th and the Wildcats were headed for a losing record in the Big Ten. Yet it took Jared Sullinger’s banked-in turnaround with 3.1 seconds left for Ohio State to escape with a 75-73 win. In 2011, the Buckeyes were 22-0 and No. 1 in the nation while Northwestern was just 3-6 in the conference. This time, David Lighty made a late steal and Sullinger hit a foul shot in a 58-57 white-knuckler. “The last two times it really came down to the last minute,” Ohio State forward Sam Thompson said on Wednesday. The 16th-ranked Buckeyes (20-7, 10-5 Big Ten) have a lot riding on the outcome when they play at troublesome Northwestern (13-15, 4-11) on Thursday night. It won’t take much to remind them of how dangerous the Wildcats can be. Just two weeks ago Northwestern came to Value City Arena and set the pace and controlled the game for most of the first 35 minutes. But the Buckeyes strung together a late 12-0 run to pull out a 69-59 win that might mislead some to thinking they were more in control than they actually ever were. Asked why every game at Welsh-Ryan Arena seems to tilt on one play, Ohio State coach Thad Matta was at a loss. “I don’t know. I honestly don’t know,” he said. “We’ve had some sizable leads. Last year, we were up pretty good. We were scoring at a great clip but we were scoring 2s and they were scoring 3s. They kept chipping away, chipping away, chipping away.” Shaking his head, he added, “I don’t know. I wish I did know.” From the outside, there’s no way that the Wildcats should be hanging with any of the elite teams in the Big Ten. After all, they’ve lost several top players to injury and had only seven scholarship players available for the close loss at Ohio State. One thing that wily coach Bill Carmody has in his corner is his version of the Princeton offense, a precision attack that forces opposing teams to play defense until the shot clock is winding down. A typical set might entail a dozen passes around the perimeter as the Wildcats probe the opposition to see if they can spring a player free with a pick for an easy backdoor layup. If they can’t get the closest of shots, they’ll settle for the longest — pumping up 3s to turn the game into a longrange shooting exhibition. It’s something that Big Ten opponents aren’t accustomed to seeing — an amazingly patient team content to wait for the right shot. Adding to the problems of playing against such an offense is that just about everybody else in the conference likes to race up and down the floor and score in transition, then hurry back and play a few seconds of defense against a team trying to do the same thing. No one likes to be vigilant on defense for 35 seconds at a time, hoping to not get embarrassed by a wide-open Wildcat dunking behind them. Barring a shocking series of upsets in the Big Ten tournament, Northwestern (13-15, 4-11) will extend its unwanted distinction of being the Division I team that has waited the longest to play its first NCAA tournament game. The Buckeyes have not forgotten how close they came to losing the first meeting. Since it’s only been 14 days since the Buckeyes were bedeviled and beguiled by the Wildcats’ version of the Princeton offense, it remains fresh in their memory. “Guys remember that offense,” said Thompson, a Chicago native who has a large group of friends and family coming to the game. “We were able to really get good perspective in film of what the coaches were talking about just because we had played them so recently. That’ll definitely help us.” Ohio State still has a major goal of grabbing one of the four first-round byes in the Big Ten tournament. It also wants to burnish its NCAA resume. The Buckeyes haven’t lost at home to Northwestern since 1977, a string of 29 consecutive wins in Columbus. In Evanston, Ill., however, every single game seems to be a trap. MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) — Former Miami Dolphins and West Virginia quarterback Pat White wants to return to the NFL. White’s father, Bo, said Wednesday his son is going to work out as part of West Virginia’s pro day in Morgantown on March 14. Bo White says Pat has been in San Diego the past few weeks working with personal quarterbacks coach George Whitfield, whose clients have included NFL quarterbacks Ben Roethlisberger, Cam Newton and Andrew Luck. Whitfield, who didn’t immediately return a telephone message, said on Twitter that he and the 27-year-old White “have been focused on his upcoming ‘relaunch.” The Dolphins selected White in the second round of the NFL draft in 2009. He played in 13 games in the Dolphins’ “wildcat” package but failed to complete a pass and was released before the start of the 2010 season. The mobile White went 34-8 as a starter at West Virginia, becoming the first quarterback to start four bowl victories in college football history. He held the NCAA record for rushing yards by a quarterback until it was broken by Michigan’s Denard Robinson in 2012 with 4,495. Although White threw for 6,049 yards and 56 touchdowns in college, his quickness — he scored 47 rushing TDs at West Virginia — could be an asset as NFL teams mull whether to join San Francisco, Seattle and Carolina in incorporating the readoption running game into their offenses. In January, White watched the Senior Bowl near his hometown of Daphne, Ala., telling reporters, “I know that I can still do it. I just want to come out here, shake hands, show my face and let coaches know that I’m interested.” USA Football to train coaches in safety INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — USA Football’s youth player safety program takes a major step this weekend with the first workshops for its Heads Up Football initiative. The national governing body of the sport in the United States will conduct the workshops Saturday and Sunday, with 21 trainers teaching the concepts of Heads Up Football to youth league leaders across the country. Among the youth coaches taking part will be former Atlanta Falcons linebacker Buddy Curry; Chuck Kyle, head coach at Cleveland’s St. Ignatius High School, winner of 11 Ohio Division I state titles and three USA Today national championships; and John Roderique, head coach at Webb City (Mo.) High School, winner of eight state championships and formerly an assistant with NCAA Division II national champion Pittsburg State University. “Youth leagues have a tremendous opportunity in 2013 to adopt USA Football’s Heads Up Football program,” Cincinnati Bengals coach Marvin Lewis said. “USA Football has earned my trust — they put the safety of our kids first and offer the training youth coaches need to be exceptional teachers. “All of us in the football community, at each level of the game, need to be com- mitted to raising youth football’s standards, and Heads Up Football does that.” Heads Up Football is a comprehensive approach to a safer game and features proper tackling techniques; education of leagues on Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, concussion recognition and response protocols; and instruction on properly fitting helmets and shoulder pads “Heads Up Football promotes a safer, better game,” USA Football Executive Director Scott Hallenbeck said. “We are proud to have this group help us lead America’s youth football community as Heads Up Football mas- ter trainers, helping to set the highest standards of player safety and coaching education in any youth sport.” In the program, coaches, parents and players are taught concussion-related protocols at the start of the season at a league-wide clinic, then have them reinforced throughout the season. Proper tackling without using the head is taught, as well. The tackling technique was developed with contributions from USA Football’s Tackle Advisory Committee. Members of the committee include Northwestern coach Pat Fitzgerald, UCLA coach Jim Mora and former NFL running back Merril Hoge. JGR eager to get to Phoenix after Daytona debacle Nobody is as eager to get to Phoenix this weekend as Joe Gibbs Racing, the team that can only view the Daytona 500 as a disaster. JGR was running 1-2-3 at one point of “The Great American Race” and in prime position to put one of its drivers in Victory Lane. Instead, Matt Kenseth went to pit road with an engine issue after leading a racehigh 86 laps. Kyle Busch followed him a few moments later. Both could only watch in street clothes as Denny Hamlin tried to carry the JGR banner. He led three times for 33 laps, only to get stuck in the wrong lane in the closing laps and fade to a 14th-place finish. It was a bitter outcome for the organization and for manufacturer Toyota, which had put a huge emphasis on the Daytona 500 and had all six of its factory cars running 1-through-6 at one point of the race. In addition to Kenseth and Busch’s engine woes, Michael Waltrip and Martin Truex Jr. didn’t have full power at the end of the race. As NASCAR moves into the desert for Sunday’s race at Phoenix International Raceway, Kenseth said he be- lieves JGR showed at Daytona it’s a strong organization. “Despite not getting the finish we deserved last weekend at Daytona, I’m really pleased with how our season began during Speedweeks,” Kenseth said. “We had really fast cars and our No. 20 team had great pit stops so I’m excited with how we ran at Daytona and really thankful to be part of this team. I’m just looking forward to getting to Phoenix and building upon what we have already started for this year.” It was Kenseth’s first race with JGR after leaving Roush Fenway Racing, and he was seeking his third Daytona 500 title. Busch’s disappointment showed Sunday at Daytona. He’d won his qualifying race earlier in the week and thought he had a shot at winning his first Daytona 500. “I’m glad to go back to a race track where drivers matter and car handling matters,” he said. “The best way to get over the disappointment of the Daytona 500 is to get back in the car and have another chance at winning the next one. I wish the race was today, to be honest. I’m ready.” Busch has made no secret that 2012, when he won only once in all three of NASCAR’s national series, was the worst season of his career. Because his temperament often overshadows his talent, he’s earning a reputation as a driver who may never win a Sprint Cup title. He said this week he’s more determined than ever. “I’m here to work hard and I’m here to win and bring home trophies and championships, that’s what my ultimate dream is,” he said. “I don’t know whether it’s the Lord upstairs just making me wait or what. Even if I did win one championship, I’m not done, I’m not leaving. I still want to win more. You still have that same hunger and drive to get as many as you can. “It just plays out as it does, sometimes. Sometimes it’s your year and sometimes it’s not your year.” ——— BIG FINISHERS: Jimmie Johnson was only partly joking when he likened the Daytona 500 to the lottery — every driver in the field had a shot at holding the winning ticket. One glance at the finishing order proved Johnson’s theory: Michael McDowell and JJ Yeley, who more often than not are forced to start-and-park their rides, both finished inside the top 10. fever Visit our website to show off your auto racing knowledge & sprint to the cup for great weekly prizes!
