Vol. 63, No. 188

Griffith arraigned on animal cruelty charges
Sarah Hawley

shawley@civitasmedia.com

POMEROY — A Pomeroy
woman entered a not guilty plea
on Thursday to 24 counts, including 21 counts of animal cruelty.
Karen L. Griffith of Pomeroy,
appeared in Meigs County Court
alongside her attorney, John
Lavelle, for the arraignment on
all 24 counts.
Griffith is charged with 21
counts of cruelty to animals and
three counts of obstructing official business.

Nine of the counts of animal cruelty allege that Griffith did “keep
animals other than cattle, poultry,
or fowl, swine, sheep or goats, in
an enclosure without wholesome
exercise and change of air”.
Twelve of the counts of animal
cruelty allege that Griffith did
“impound or confine an animal
without supplying it during such
confinement with a sufficient
quantity of good wholesome
food and water.”
Both obstructing official
business and cruelty to animals charges are second de-

gree misdemeanors.
The date of the violations are
from Sept. 12 and 14, and were filed
by Andy Baer, Humane Officer.
Discussion during the hearing
included conditions of bond. The
state asked that the Humane Society
be allowed to make random checks
of the horses in Griffith’s care.
Lavelle argued that Griffith is
presumed innocent and that the
checks would be a violation of
her rights and private property.
Ultimately, Judge Steve Story
said there would be no conditions placed on Griffith’s bond.

Story added that if the state
would like to have checks made,
a motion should be made or a a
search warrant obtained first.
Lavelle also detailed some of
Griffith’s background in arguing
that she is qualified to care for
the animals. Griffith, according
to her attorney’s statements, is
a lifelong Meigs County resident who has a background in
animal science and animal nutrition with course work from Ohio
State University.
Meigs County Prosecutor Colleen Williams said earlier this

week that the Humane Society
received a complaint about horses possible being under nourished. Williams added that there
were a large number of stallions
and mares together on another
property.
Williams said that they are
working with Griffith’s attorney,
John Lavelle, to resolve the care
of the horses and that the county has not taken custody of the
horses at this time.
Griffith is scheduled to appear
in Meigs County Court for a pretrial hearing at 1 p.m. on Dec. 19.

Helping the homeless
MIDDLEPORT — Raising money to help the homeless
was a project carried out at the recent pro-bowl game of
the Big Bend Youth Football League held at the Veterans
Memorial Stadium in Middleport.
Several activities were carried out with almost $400 in
cash being raised to help the homeless.
The event also provided a drop-off point for people who
had good items of clothing and miscellaneous items to
donate toward the mission project.
Bill Davis and other members of the Heaven’s Saints, a
motorcycle club, were there all day to assist in their goal
of raising awareness of homelessness and collecting funds
to provide assistance to alleviate the problem in whatever
way they can.

GALLIPOLIS — Today marks the
50th commemoration of the Assassination of President John F. Kennedy on
November 22, 1963, in Dallas, Texas,
but even with the passage of time, more
questions than answers surround the assassination of the country’s 35th president, according to John H. “Jack” Gordon, Ph.D., a well-respected lecturer and
expert on the Kennedy assassination.
During a special presentation this
past Sunday, Bossard Memorial Library presented Gordon, who has spoken over the past 35 years to students
on more than 100 college campuses
across the United States. During his

POMEROY — While
many Meigs County families
are busy with holiday activities, a group of local volunteers are focusing on filling
empty shoe boxes with school
supplies, small toys, hygiene
items and notes of encouragement for needy and hurting
children in war-torn, famineridden countries.
The world’s largest
Christmas project of its
kind — Operation Christmas Child — is finishing
up by collecting the shoe
boxes and making preparations to get them to a

central location for shipping overseas. Once in
their designated location,
the boxes will be hand delivered to the recipients.
It has been estimated that
nearly a hundred million
gifts for kids worldwide
have been delivered since
the program started 20
years ago.
This year-round project
of Samaritan’s Purse is
coming to a peak now, as
local businesses, churches
and schools finish collecting gifts to fill the
shoe boxes.which are to
be turned in to the Hope

lecture, Gordon discussed, in detail,
the events of November 22, 1963,
and a number of the theories that surround the assassination, including his
own belief of what happened that day.
“This goes way back for me, and
I can look around the room and the
majority of the people here remember
November 22, 1963,” Gordon told the
crowd. “I’m very, very pleased to be
with you here today.”
During the lecture that held the
audience in rapt attention for approximately an hour and half on Sunday,
Gordon presented a slide show and
discussed the motorcade footage of
that day, including the famous Zapruder film released 12 years after
the assassination, and other relevant
newsreel footage and photos related
to the event.
In addition, Gordon also discussed
the now infamous Warren Commission and its findings, as well as the
House Select Committee on Assassinations.
The Warren Commission, officially
known as the President’s Commission on the Assassination of President Kennedy, was established on
November 29, 1963, by President
Lyndon Johnson to investigation the
assassination. In its findings that were
released in September 1964, the commission found that Lee Harvey Oswald, alone and unaided, assassinated
the president.
The House Select Committee on
Assassinations was formed in 1976 to
investigate the assassination of Kennedy as well as Martin Luther King,
Jr., and, according to Gordon, the
committee had a somewhat different
take on the assassination of President
Kennedy.
“They concluded, I think, reluctantly, that there was an assassination
conspiracy with President Kennedy.
The chief council really thought the
organized crime connection was the
key and the acoustical evidence —
that was the sound evidence picked
up by the Dallas motorcycle policeman,” Gordon said. “They turned
over a lot of their work to the justice
department. That was 34 years ago
and nothing was ever followed up
by the justice department. There is
just outright disdain [for the justice
department] in not following up on
probably the most important murder
case in the history of our country. …
“The House Select Committee on
Assassinations was on the same track
as the Warren Commission with three
shots only, until they ran into their
acoustical sound evidence and found
that there was fourth shot fired from
the grassy knoll,” Gordon continued.
“That ended up being argued and
debated and never followed through
with.”
Gordon’s own theory on the assassination is that Kennedy was shot a
total of three times on November 22,
1963, once in the neck from the front,
once in the back at a point five inches

below the collar and to the right of the
spine, and one fatal blow to the head.
“It’s my firm belief that the president was hit three times, throat, back
and head, in that order,” Gordon stated. “There are many who believe, particularly a Dr. Gary Aguilar, a physicist, that the president was hit in the
head twice, simultaneously.”
Gordon further discussed the role
of the media in the ongoing debate
about the assassination of the president and the perpetual myth that Oswald acted as the lone assassin.
“The scariest thing about this, in
the 38 years I’ve been researching
this, is that the media keeps pushing
this myth of the lone assassin, and
why? Why can’t they legitimately
do research and find that there’s a
lot more to it,” Gordon stated while
discussing a coup d’etat, or the plan
made by a small group to over throw
a government. “The most important
part of a coup d’etat is not the taking
out of the president or the dictator
or whoever it is, it’s the aftermath,
keeping the noise level down, and the
media is critical in that respect. When
President Johnson gets that volume
from Earl Warren [of the Warren
Commission] with the findings and
the conclusions, but not the exhibits
and the testimony, you can go back
on the microfiche of the Washington
Post and the New York Times, Boston
Globe, all the major newspapers, or, if
they still have the taping of Cronkite
or Huntley Brinkley, they all endorsed
it when it came out. They didn’t take
the 18 months for the exhibits and
testimony to come out to look at the
discrepancies.”
Gordon also discussed the one-bullet theory and the belief of many that
only one bullet was used that day to
kill Kennedy and to injure Governor
John Connally of Texas who was riding in car in front of Kennedy at the
time of the shooting.
“If you take a shot through anyone
of us five and half inches down from
the collar and it comes out the throat,
that’s an upward trajectory, not a
downward trajectory. You have an entrance wound that becomes and exit
wound. You have a bullet that then
goes on and hits Governor Connally
in the right shoulder, shatters his fifth
rib, comes out the right chest, goes
down and to the right through his
right wrist … all the way up to the
head shot and then it’s finally spent
in Connally’s thigh,” Gordon said. “It
doesn’t add up, it just doesn’t add up,
but it’s still endorsed to this day.”
Gordon also explained that he believes that at least six gunshots were
fired that day, a fact that can only lead
one to the conclusion that the assassination was the work of a conspiracy,
with multiple gunmen.
“I think the president was assassinated by a conspiracy. The gun shots
came from two different directions. I
think there are at least six [gunshots]:
his throat, his back, his head, Connally’s shoulder and rib and chest,
Connally’s wrist is five, and then the

Tague ricochet is six,” Gordon said. “I
used to get hung up about the exact
location of these people firing from
behind and in front. I don’t anymore. I
don’t think it matters. If there are gunshots from two different directions,
it’s a conspiracy — well thought out
and well-planned, with probably radio communication among the gun
teams, a visual spotter, and those gunmen who can hit a bulls-eye a hundred
times out of a hundred times. Who
knows what happened to them. They
might have been dead, as so many
Hollywood movies used to say when
they made reference to the Kennedy
assassination, ‘the gunman was dead
by sunset.’”
Gordon further discussed Oswald
and his role as the scapegoat in relation to the assassination.
“He said he was a patsy when he
was being led down the corridor and
he asked for legal representation and
never got it,” Gordon stated.
The lecturer further discussed his
own theory that the friction surrounding Cuba, the Soviet Union and the
United States, including the Bay of
Pigs incident and the Cuban Missile
Crisis, played a large role in the subsequent assassination.
“The conspiracy itself is a triangle
to me: organized crime, the CIA and
the anti-Castro Cuba, the three corners of the triangle,” Gordon stated.
“Everything changes after Kennedy is
gone. What we didn’t know, even in
the ’80s and the ’90s, was what Kennedy did to open up channels to Castro on the one hand and Khrushchev
on the other.”
Gordon further encouraged the audience to make their own conclusions
from all of the evidence that exists
surrounding the assassination.
“You are obviously here because
you all have a lot of interest in this
and none of you have to believe my
findings,” Gordon said. “I basically
have stuck to that triangle now for 30
years.”
Gordon also pointed to a commencement speech given by Kennedy
in June 1963 at American University
as a possible beginning of the conspiracy that killed the president later
that year.
“[That speech was] calling for, not
as Neville Chamberlain said, ‘peace in
our time’, but ‘peace for all time.’ It
was very powerful speech and I think
that was when the mechanism was
created to kill him,” Gordon stated.
At the conclusion of his presentation, Gordon took a few questions
from audience members and subsequently left those in attendance with
a word of encouragement for future
research on this topic of such historical significance that has puzzled historians and the American public since it
occurred 5o years ago.
“The cover up is still well in place,
and, I tell you, it’s even tighter now
with what we’re seeing come out,”
Gordon told the crowd. “I encourage
you, whatever your age is, to keep
reading.”

According to a release issued by the
Gallipolis Post of the Ohio State Highway Patrol, Harry and Sarah Roush
were traveling westbound on U.S. 35
in a 1991 blue Chevrolet S-10 when a
2012 Dodge utility truck being driven
by Donald W. Goodson, 46, Albany,
who was also traveling westbound behind the S-10, struck the vehicle in the
rear. The S-10 then reported continued

Goodson was reportedly uninjured in
the crash and has been charged with assured clear distance ahead.

Emergency responders set up a landing zone for two Healthnet helicopters on
Thursday afternoon along U.S. 35 in order to transport two individuals. The highway was closed for approximately 30 minutes as a result of the crash.

According to the Gallia County 911
center, after receiving word of the crash,
units with Gallia County EMS were dispatched to the scene, along with volunteers with the Gallipolis Fire Department. Deputies with the Gallia County
Sheriff’s Office also responded to assist
Ohio State Highway Patrol units.
Reportedly, two landing zones were
set up for the Healthnet helicopters,
and the two helicopters landed on the

four-lane before transporting the injured
motorists to the hospital. The roadway
was closed as a result of the crash. The
closure reportedly lasted for approximately 30 minutes.
No further information as to the condition Harry Roush and Sarah Roush
was available as of press time. This case
remains under investigation. Additional
information will be released as it is
made available.

any differently?

proposition. After all, Jesus ALWAYS

watered it down—indeed, could not

truth-telling to be so objectionable

SEOAL officials meet to discuss league’s future
Craig Dunn
Special to OVP

JACKSON, Ohio — Knowing the
clock is ticking on its fate, Southeastern Ohio Athletic League administrators met Wednesday in Jackson to
discuss the league’s future.
Superintendents, principals and
athletic directors discussed courses
of action and scenarios as membership prepares to drop to an all-time
low four schools at the conclusion of
the 2014-15 school year.
That’s when the conference loses current member Portsmouth, which will
leave the SEOAL to become a member

of the Ohio Valley Conference.
Portsmouth High School will join
current OVC members Chesapeake,
Coal Grove, Fairland, Rock Hill and
South Point, as well as another newcomer — former SEOAL member
Ironton — beginning with the 201516 school year.
PHS will honor its 2014-15 SEOAL commitments and, in basketball,
is working on playing both a full
SEOAL (eight games) and OVC (12
games) schedule that season.
After Portsmouth departs, only
original members Gallia Academy,
Jackson and Logan, as well as Warren
(which joined in 1986), will remain.

Officials from those schools discussed
the viability of a four-team conference
and the possibility of adding a fifth
and maybe even a sixth member.
The main questions are whether
one or two schools will join the
league and, if not, whether to proceed as a four-team conference or try
to find landing places for its remaining members. If the league does not
go on, finding places for the four remaining schools is a priority among
the administrators and they will seek
to remain together as a group in another conference.

Head coach Mike Tomlin of the Pittsburgh Steelers watches his
team against the Houston Texans in the first half of the Texans’
17-10 victory on Sunday, Oct. 2, 2011, in Houston, Texas.

Even at 4-6,
Steelers hardly
out of playoff hunt
PITTSBURGH (AP) — The math is tantalizing.
The schedule is favorable.
The middle of the AFC is a mess.
Suddenly, things are looking up for the Pittsburgh
Steelers.
Consecutive wins over Buffalo and Detroit have Pittsburgh (4-6) in position to play meaningful football into
December if not January.
“We feel like we have a good team, but when we mention those things, people say ‘Your record says you’re
not,” wide receiver Jerricho Cotchery said. “We’ve just
got to continue to fight this thing out and see what happens. We have to keep it going.”
Cotchery allows his team’s margin for error is “nonexistent,” though the final six weeks hardly look intimidating.
Starting with Sunday’s game at Cleveland (4-6), the
Steelers face just one team with a winning record the rest
of the way. And even that Dec. 15 showdown with AFC
North-leading Cincinnati is at Heinz Field.
The other five games include two against the Browns, a
Thanksgiving night matchup at struggling Baltimore (46) and a visit by the Miami Dolphins on Dec. 8.
What was billed as the return of former Steelers wide
receiver Mike Wallace could take a backseat to something
considerably more substantial.
Miami and the New York Jets are tied for the sixth and
final AFC playoff spot at 5-5. Pittsburgh already owns the
tiebreaker over the Jets after picking up a victory on the
road last month.
It’s not much hope to cling to, but it beats the alternative. The Steelers were reading the obituary on their season after a humbling 55-31 loss to New England dropped
them to 2-6 at the midway point and 15th in the 16-team
AFC.
Two promising weeks later, they’re 10th with plenty of
time left.
The crossroads may have come in the fourth quarter
against Detroit. The Lions had just botched a fake field
goal attempt but pinned the Steelers at their own 3 early
in the fourth quarter.
Facing third-and-9, Roethlisberger hit Antonio Brown
for a 16-yard gain. The drive ended in a touchdown and
Pittsburgh was on its way to its most significant victory
of the season.
“I don’t know if it’s a turning point, but hopefully we
can look back in 3-4 months and say it was,” tight end
Heath Miller said.
This isn’t the first time this fall Pittsburgh appeared
poised to break out of a rut. The Steelers beat the Jets
and the Ravens after an 0-4 start and spark belief that better days were ahead.
Pittsburgh then went out and bumbled its way to a 2118 loss to Oakland before Tom Brady picked the Steelers
apart and sent the franchise into full-blown crisis mode.
Defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau talked about going
back to “page one” in the playbook after giving up 610
yards to the Patriots. He vowed to simplify things and his
defense has responded with a pair of solid performances.
The Steelers overwhelmed Buffalo quarterback E.J.
Manuel in a 23-10 romp and shut down the high-powered
Lions after surviving a 27-point deluge in the second
quarter.
Detroit quarterback Matthew Stafford completed just 3 of 16 passes after halftime and wide
receiver Calvin Johnson never got his hands on
the ball in the second half as Pittsburgh rallied.

WEIRTON, W.Va. — How does the
Wahama White Falcon football team
follow last week’s exciting 49-27 playoff win over Clay-Battelle last week?
The answer is quite evident … upset the top ranked team in Class A
during quarterfinal round action this
week in a rematch of last season’s
Class A championship game with the
Madonna Blue Dons.
This will be the objective when
Coach Dave Barr takes his Bend Area
team to Weir High School and Jimmy
Carey Stadium at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday for what is materializing as another classic confrontation between
the two successful Class A athletic
programs.
Wahama enters the postseason
confrontation as the eighth ranked
team in Class A and will carry a 10-1
record into the postseason outing.
Madonna is the number one rated
team in the small schools division of
West Virginia and will bring an unblemished 11-0 slate into the quarterfinal round contest.
This will be the third meeting ever
between the two grid teams with Wahama owning a 2-0 mark. The White

Buckeyes fans struggle with Ohio St’s BCS plight

pion Alabama or No. 2 Florida State.
The fans’ emotions are jumbled.
Some are angry, most are frustrated.
But it’s not as if they’re marching
through the streets of this whitecollar city carrying pitch forks and
torches.
A year after NCAA sanctions prevented the Buckeyes from putting
their unbeaten team on display in a
major bowl game, almost all of the
Ohio State faithful have grown comfortable with their team being left
behind — again — in the race for the
national championship.
“Most people I’ve talked with have
kind of resigned themselves to (the
fact) it’s not in this team’s hands
and that’s the stark reality they have
to face,” said WBNS radio’s Paul
Keels, the play-by-play voice of the
Buckeyes and host of Meyer’s weekly
coaches call-in show. “What they can
cling to is the hope that this team
goes unbeaten, wins the Big Ten
championship, and if they can’t go to
the BCS championship game, well,
then you still have something else to
brag about.
“It just seems as though there’s
been somewhat of a reluctant accep-

tance to the way the whole situation
sits right now.”
Heading into Saturday’s final home
game against Indiana, the Buckeyes
(10-0, 6-0 Big Ten) have few chances to wow the BCS poll voters and
computers. The final regular-season
game is at The Big House against a
Michigan (7-3, 3-3) team that has
played poorly in recent weeks.
Should the Buckeyes win those
two games, they’ll most likely meet
13th-ranked Michigan State in the
Big Ten championship game on Dec.
7 in Indianapolis.
The final BCS rankings come out
the next day. Ohio State fans already
have an ominous feeling how it’ll all
end. If things turn out right, a trip
to the Rose Bowl. But the Buckeyes
would be playing there a few days before the national title is settled and
the crystal football trophy is handed
out.
It’s come to this in present day college football: A berth in the Granddaddy of all Bowls is seen as a bitter
pill to have to swallow.

tendent Phil Howard addressed, and denied, rumors
that JHS has been invited to an
upcoming meeting of the TriValley Conference.
“There are rumors flying
around that we will be invited
to a TVC meeting. We have not
received an invitation from the
TVC,” Howard told The Jackson County Times-Journal, a
sister publication to The Logan
Daily News.
Five years ago, Jackson did
apply for membership into
both the TVC and Southern
Ohio Conference, but were

denied by both leagues.
“We were denied membership
by both the TVC and SOC. We
applied, it was voted upon and
we were turned down. After
that, I made it very clear that
we would not make another application for those two leagues.
We have not and will not,” said
Howard. “What we will do is in
the best interest of our kids and
our district. At the end of the
day, that is having a league for
our kids to play in.”
It was ultimately decided to
fully place the issue in the hands
of league superintendents, who
will form a group plan.
The league expanded to 10

win in a 2011 regular season
matchup at Fairmont State
College before last year’s
classic, 43-42 overtime conquest in the 2012 history
making, Class A title game.
That overtime loss a season ago left a bad taste in
the Blue Dons mouth and
you can bet the Madonna
coaching staff is exploiting
that loss as a major factor in
their pre-game preparations.
The Blue Dons head
coach, Doug Taylor, stated
“This is going to be a big
test for us.” I don’t think we
really have to talk to the kids
about what happened last
year- they know. We view
this as an opportunity to
redeem ourselves. The kids
are excited about the challenge that is ahead of them
to see if we can’t change the
outcome.”
On its way to its fifth
undefeated regular season
in school history Madonna
defeated six playoff opponents during the 2013 regular season. The Blue Dons
own wins over Ohio playoff
teams, Bealsville (63-8)
and Steubenville Catholic
Central (22-17) in addition
to defeating West Virginia
opponents, #13 Wheeling
Central (42-7), #12 Bishop
Donahue (48-20), and #9
Clay-Battelle (35-6). Madonna dealt #16 Tucker County
a 52-0 thrashing in the opening round of the post-season.
Through 11 games this
season Madonna averages
322 yards per game rushing and another 132 yards
through the air. The Blue
Dons have scored 514 points
on the year to average 46.7
points per game offensively.
Defensively Madonna is
giving up an average of just
under 90 yards per game on
the ground and just over 90
yards passing while allowing
the opposition to score 9.6
points per game.
When anyone speaks of
Madonna football the first
thing that comes to mind is
what has been identified as
the “dynamic duo” in senior
quarterback Ross Comis and
senior running back Eliot
Nero.
Comis was chosen as
the player of the game for
the Blue Dons in last year’s
championship game with
Wahama and a first team
Class A All-State selection in
2012. Comis hasn’t missed
a step from his junior year
accolades with nearly 1400
rushing yards this season in
addition to over 1400 yards
passing. He has scored 22
touchdowns and has thrown
for 17 scores.
Nero is also experiencing
an impressive senior season
with 1442 yards rushing and
nearly 300 yards receiving.
He has totaled 22 touchdowns running the football
while adding four more sixpointers receiving.
The Blue Dons feature
a veteran projected starting offensive lineup of 10
seniors and one freshman.
The offensive line averages
nearly 246 pounds and is
anchored by its mammoth
tackle in senior Josh Martin

schools prior to the 2006-07
season but has since lost Athens
(Tri-Valley Conference), Zanesville and Marietta (East Central Ohio League), Chillicothe
(South Central Ohio League)
and Ironton, with Portsmouth
next to depart.
All of the remaining members
have had flirtations and dialogue
with joining various leagues in
the past few years.
Logan had meetings and discussions with the Mid-State
League and Ohio Capital Conference; Warren with the Tri-Valley
Conference and Muskingum
Valley League, and Jackson and
Gallia Academy with both the

TVC and OVC. Gallipolis has a
standing offer to join the OVC to
become its eight member but has
thus far declined the offer.
The SEOAL — the state’s oldest non-city athletic conference
— was formed in 1925 and is
currently in its 89th season.
The league approved its
complete 2014-15 schedule at
Wednesday’s meeting and also
set uniform starting times for
football, volleyball, soccer, basketball, baseball and softball.
The primary change is joining the statewide trend in
starting football games at 7
p.m., a half-hour earlier than
the 7:30 kickoffs that have

been in place for many years.
A growing segment of leagues
have adopted 7 p.m. kickoffs in
order to get their players and
fans home at a more reasonable
time in addition to adjusting
to games that are taking longer and longer to play due to
spread offenses, higher scoring
and more pass incompletions,
all of which result in additional
clock stoppages.
Paul Boggs, sports editor of
The Jackson County TimesJournal, contributed to this report. Craig Dunn is the sports
editor of the Logan Daily News
and is also the SEOAL media
representative.

Steelers
(7-2 295). The remainder of
the interior line include seniors; Adam Robertson (6-4
235) at the other tackle position, Shane Livada (5-11
235) at center and Garrett
Bever (5-11 260) and Austin
Bell (6-1 225) at the guard
posts.
The receivers consist of
seniors Will Bowser (6-1
185) Marcello Biondillo (510 165) and Tyler Ewusiak
(6-3 225). Bowser is Comis’
favorite target with 17 receptions for 618 yards and
five touchdowns while Biondillo has 17 catches for 320
yards and two scores.
The lone underclassmen
in the list of probable offensive starters for Madonna
is freshman Joey Ewusiak
(6-2 170) joining Comis and
Nero in the Hancock County
teams backfield.
The White Falcons are
coming off an exciting 49-27
playoff win last week over
Clay-Battelle. The Bend
Area team rallied from a 1914 deficit with 35 points in
the final quarter. As a team
Wahama averages just over
49 points per contest while
allowing the combined foe to
score just over 14 points per
outing. The Bend Are team
averages 343 yards rushing
and nearly 96 yards passing
per game while giving up
143 yards on the ground and
another 84 yards through
the airways.
Individually, the White
Falcons leading scorers are
Kane Roush with 226 points
on the year and Colton Neal
with 114 points. The duo is
also the leading rushers for
Wahama with Roush amassing 1492 yards in just 118
carries with Neal picking up
961 yards in 111 tries.
Senior quarterback Hunter Bradley has ran for 288
yards while connecting on
37 of his 74 aerials for 874
yards. Bradley has tossed 14
touchdown passes and has
only been intercepted three
times. Bradley’s top two targets have been Roush with
18 catches for 508 yards
and nine scores and Wyatt
Zuspan with 13 receptions
for 172 yards and two touchdown catches.
The probable interior line
starters include seniors Josh
Haddox, Wesley Harrison,
and Lane Sparks, along with
juniors Brent Larck and
Garrett Miller. Sophomores
Jesse Hesson and Clayton
Sines also receive a great
deal of playing time in the
trenches for the White Falcons.
The Bend Area team starters will also likely include seniors Brandon Stewart and
Randall Robie along with
juniors Demitrius Serevicz,
Wyatt Wooten and Timmy
Gibbs and sophomore Jared
Nutter.
Saturday Night’s winner
will advance to the Class A
semifinal affair against the
winner of Saturday afternoon’s Williamstown-Bishop
Donahue survivor. Kickoff
time at Jimmy Carrey Stadium on the campus of Weir
High School is 7:30 p.m.

Perhaps just as encouraging as
the results were the plays the Steelers were able to produce. Lawrence
Timmons recovered a fumble and returned it 30 yards to set up a score.
Nose tackle Steve McLendon
forced Lions holder Sam Martin to
fumble during the fake field goal and
safety Will Allen intercepted Stafford
in the fourth quarter to put Roethlisberger in position for the gameclinching touchdown.

“Man, I have no idea.
Because it’s not in our
hands,” he said, smiling.
He said about all anyone
following the Buckeyes can
hope for is that the team
wins by a landslide in each
of its games.
“Just make it look easy,”
he said. “Maybe (the voters) will switch it up in
the future. We hope for the
best.”
It’s not just the top two
teams that worry Ohio
State fans. Unbeaten Baylor has climbed into the
No. 4 spot in the BCS
rankings, right behind the
Buckeyes. In the system’s
migraine-inducing mathematics, the Buckeyes are
1.045 points behind Alabama and .792 points behind Florida State — but
only .0013 ahead of Baylor.

going up against an Alabama team and possibly

After all, the Buckeyes

against Southeastern Conference teams. One win
in the 2011 Sugar Bowl
against Arkansas was vacated due to NCAA violations.
But there’s always hope,
right?

who say, ‘Hey, at least
we’re in the championship
game.’ You can think back
to 2002, when they went
into that title game and
were heavy underdogs,”
Keels said, referring to a
31-24 double-overtime victory over Miami for the Big
Ten’s most recent national
title in football. “They at
least had the chance.
“But there are people
who fall into that ‘be careful of what you wish for’

week, with Baylor on their
heels, there’s a little more
anxiousness (for fans),”
said Matt McCoy, sports
director at Columbus radio
station WTVN, where he
hosts Ohio State-centric
shows. “I got an email from
a guy who said, ‘Can you
imagine if Ohio State gets
passed over for the title
game for Baylor?’ I can’t
remember exactly what he
said after that, but it was
along the lines of, ‘The
world is officially ended.’”
There’s also a subset of
Ohio State fans who would
be perfectly happy if the
Buckeyes run the table,
miss out on the national
title game, but end the season with winning streak —
and dignity — intact.
They remember the lopsided losses in the national
championship games after
the 2006 and 2007 seasons
— the former to a Florida
team coached by Meyer.
Maybe sitting out the title
game, and holding on to
the possibility that the

Those were the kind of plays Pittsburgh didn’t make for several weeks
early in the season, something that
weighed on them in the locker room.
“When you’re not getting them,
you try to downplay it like it doesn’t
matter,” safety Ryan Clark said. “But
when you’re getting them you understand they help you win.”
A pattern that will have to continue
if the Steelers want to avoid missing
the playoffs in consecutive seasons
for the first time this millennium.
“We’ve got to be mentally tough,”

Fantasy Grind: Bold moves, ESPN injury expert Bell
Oskar Garcia

The Associated Press

The fantasy football
playoffs are getting close
— time to keep an extra
eye out for maneuvers that
seem wacky and unexpected opportunities.
With Seattle and Cincinnati on byes, don’t be all
that surprised if their defenses get dropped along
with Seahawks kicker
Steven Hauschka, the top
fantasy kicker in the game
and also the second-most
dropped player in Yahoo
as of Tuesday night.
Or maybe owners will
keep them and drop a
running back likely to get
plenty of touches the rest
of this season. Among the
top 25 most dropped running backs on Yahoo are
Fred Jackson with Buffalo
on a bye, Miami’s Lamar
Miller and Atlanta’s Steven Jackson.
A tiny sliver of owners
on ESPN and Yahoo are
even dropping Green Bay
quarterback Aaron Rodgers, apparently unable to
wait out his injury.
Besides Rodgers and the
Seattle defense, perhaps,
the moves aren’t as desperate as they might seem.
Simply put, the weeks
before the playoffs regularly force fantasy players
into tough decisions that
result in names on the
waiver wire that are higher than replacement level.
That’s when — if the
circumstances are right —
you pounce.
Just make sure if you
pick up someone’s leftover Ray Rice or Roddy
White, you’re doing it with
a purpose beyond feeling as though the player
should be owned in your
league. Unless you’re in a
deep keeper league, every
player you carry on your
roster should have some
reasonable chance to start
for you between now and

the championship, either
because of a favorable
matchup or injury.
Some fantasy players
will take things even further, either tanking a game
to try to manipulate playoff seeding or sacrificing
one week for better positioning for a playoff run.
If this sounds like you, just
remember a few things:
— Make sure everything you do falls in line
with your league rules.
— It doesn’t matter if
you’re in first place and
have a two-game lead on
the next guy or girl. You
haven’t clinched anything
until your platform says
so.
— Even if you handpick
your opponents and path
to the title, your top mission is still scoring the
most points you can each
week. That’s on you, not
someone else.
Gamesmanship is great,
but don’t outsmart yourself.
———
THE REAL BUSTS
It’s a conversation every
year: Who are the biggest breakouts and busts?
There are many ways to
measure, and here’s another: The following players
are owned the most often
on last-place teams in CBS
Sports leagues.
QB: Tom Brady, New
England; Colin Kaepernick, San Francisco. Some
people believe Brady is on
the upswing after throwing for 296 yards and a
touchdown Monday night
against Carolina. Kaepernick’s rushing numbers
aren’t enough to make up
for his low passing totals.
There are 15 quarterbacks who have more total
points in standard leagues
that tally four points per
touchdown passing.
RB: C.J. Spiller, Buffalo; Trent Richardson,
Indianapolis; Ray Rice,
Baltimore; Steven Jack-

son, Atlanta; Maurice
Jones-Drew, Jacksonville.
All five players were taken
on average in the first two
rounds of fantasy drafts
this year.
WR: Roddy White, Atlanta; Marques Colston,
New Orleans; Hakeem
Nicks, New York Giants;
Larry Fitzgerald, Arizona;
Steve Smith, Carolina.
It’s probably not hard to
guess that Fitzgerald has
been the most productive
of this group this year. But
20 receivers have been
even better, including Riley Cooper and Jerricho
Cotchery.
No tight ends made
CBS’s top 12 list of players
most often on last-place
teams. But as a bonus,
here’s a list of the players
most often on first-place
teams:
QB: Peyton Manning,
Denver; Matthew Stafford,
Detroit.
RB: LeSean McCoy,
Philadelphia;
Jamaal
Charles, Kansas City; Matt
Forte, Chicago; Marshawn
Lynch, Seattle; Knowshon
Moreno, Denver.
WR: Calvin Johnson,
Detroit; DeSean Jackson,
Philadelphia; Jordy Nelson, Green Bay; Demaryius Thomas, Denver.
TE: Jimmy Graham,
New Orleans.

RINGER
TIME:
STEPHANIA BELL
ESPN’s injury expert,
Stephania Bell, doesn’t
think it’s a sure thing that
the NFL is seeing more
injuries this season than
in years past, though she’s
kept plenty busy and fantasy owners certainly seem
to believe it’s the case.
“Somehow I hear people
say that every year. Is every year the worst we’ve
ever seen? It’s a fascinating question,” said Bell,
a licensed physical therapist who has a practice in
California and analyzes

Karen Schiely | Akron Beacon Journal | MCT photo

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson catches the ball for a first down in front
of Cleveland Browns defensive back Joe Haden during the first quarter at Cleveland Browns
Stadium Sunday, Sept. 9, 2012 in Cleveland, Ohio. The Eagles defeated the Browns, 17-16.

injuries for ESPN (http://
es.pn/16d6Odh).
“I, for one, would be reluctant to throw that out,”
she said.
But Bell says NFL teams
are approaching injuries
differently in terms of how
they’re handled and reported. And while it might
be easy for fans to point to
rules governing hits, concussions and the league’s
collective
bargaining
agreement, spikes or dips
are possible in any given
season, making it hard to
judge even one year in isolation, she said.
“They’re removing players from injury now differently than they were
before,” Bell said. “Think
about the fact that now

everything’s much more
public.”
But no matter how 2013
ends up comparing with
other years, Bell says this
season has reinforced for
her that running backs are
the most fragile position
in fantasy football.
“It’s playing out again
this year — not that it’s always going to be dramatic
abuse but we see all these
guys banged up,” Bell said.
Bell said it’s tough to
find any top running backs
who haven’t appeared on
their team’s injury report
at some point this season,
making it understandable
why more teams are turning to two-running back
sets.
As a fantasy player, Bell

said she uses her expertise
most often on draft day,
changing her priorities
based on players she believes have a higher chance
of hurting themselves during the year. She says that
the biggest predictor of future injury is prior injury,
and soft-tissue injuries are
often more troublesome
than bone breaks or other
random contact injuries.
“I will hear people talk
about guys and if there’s
something about their injury history I don’t like,
they become undraftable
for me,” she said.
She’s happy if they end
up staying healthy and
performing well, but “I’m
still going to say I made
the right decision for me.”
