Southern schools rank high in
state performance evaluation
By Charlene Hoeflich

choeflich@heartlandpublications.com

RACINE — The Southern Local
School system has been ranked first in
its District and second in the Southeast
Region on the performance index of
tests given to students in grades three
through eight and the 10th grade high
school graduation test.
According to a recent report from
the Ohio Department of Education,
Southern was tops in the county and
319th in the state out of a total of 936
public, charter, and non-public schools
ranked. Scott Wolfe, director of federal
programs for Southern Local School
District, reported that according to a Columbus Dispatch story, Meigs County
Schools were ranked as follows: Southern 319, Eastern 516, and Meigs 610.
Wolfe said that next fall a final report
will be released and will include classroom expenditures.

“The ranking list is a powerful tool
we can use to see how local schools
stack up with similar communities
around the state,” said state schools Superintendent Stan Heffner. “Next year,
this list will be coupled with financial
data to give the public a clear way to see
who is delivering the most return on the
community’s educational investment.”
The ranking was released Thursday
for 611 traditional school districts and
325 charter schools was based on only
the performance index, which produces
a score of 0 to 120 points. That means
less than three points separate the 577thranked district and No. 477.
Waterford (Wolfe Creek) in Washington County topped the region with
a 305 ranking. Gallipolis CitySchools
came in at 435 and Gallia County Local
was 342. In Athens County NelsonvilleYork posted a 389, followed by Alexander 456, Athens City 460, Trimble 622,
and Federal Hocking 624.

Jackson County reported Jackson
City with a 437, Wellston 513, Oak
Hill 531, and The Center for Student
Achievement 777. Other Washington
County Schools were scored with Warren taking a 397, Marietta 514, Fort Frye
458, and Belpre 619.
“We are excited to say that we are
in the top one-third of all schools in the
state,” said Southern Superintendent
Tony Deem. “We are proud of the positive things we are doing at Southern,
however, we also realize there is more
work to be done. We will continue to
improve our instruction to better provide
our students with a quality education.“
Earlier Southern High School was
named a State Superintendent’s “Ohio
School of Promise” and the elementary
was rated “Excellent”. This year only
122 Schools out of the nearly 1,000
school districts and 4800 school buildings were recognized as Ohio Schools
of Promise.

Honoring ultimate sacrifice in Vietnam
By Beth Sergent

bsergent@heartlandpublications.com

CLINTON, Ohio — A
Vietnam war hero who died
on the battlefield but lived
his life in West Columbia and
Middleport, Ohio, was honored (and remembered) on the
recent “Ride for the 3095.”
The “Ride for the 3095”
took place in Northern Ohio
the day after Veteran’s Day.
The “Ride for the 3095” honors the 3,095 men and women
who gave their lives in the
Vietnam War by organizing a
massive motorcycle run from
Richfield, Ohio to Clinton’s
Ohio Veterans Memorial Park
which contains a wall with
names of Ohio veterans who
were killed in Vietnam. One
of those names is Staff Sgt. Julia Fluharty (pictured) of Akron and formerly of Point Pleasant, recently honored
Jimmy Stewart.

Commissioners support
chief deputy
Anthony remains absent from post

By Beth Sergent

bsergent@heartlandpublications.com

MASON
COUNTY
—There was no getting
around the topic of the
Mason County Sheriff’s
Department at Thursday’s
meeting of the Mason
County Commission which
began with a show of
eather
solidarity and support for
Chief Deputy Jeff Fields.
Fields, as chief deputy,
has been in charge of the
sheriff’s department since
last Thursday when Mason
County Sheriff David Anthony, II, was arrested on
High: 52

term of Anthony’s $20,000
bond in Putnam County.
“The Commission is
100 percent behind you,”
Commissioner Rick Handley said to Fields in yesterday’s meeting. “It’s
unfortunate we’re in the
circumstances we’re in, but
you are more than capable
as chief deputy to keep the
department running.”
County
Administrator John Gerlach also remarked on the “outstanding
job” Fields did at the real
estate tax sale on Thursday.
Though Fields said little, he acknowledged the
support from commissioners.
Commissioners
said
despite Fields being in
command, Anthony, who
though absent is an elected official, remains sheriff. Commissioners also
seemed to want to reassure
the public that despite the
upheaval and turmoil, the
sheriff’s department is still
operational and providing
necessary law enforcement.
In the last week, commissioners
commented
they have been in contact

with Mason County Prosecuting Attorney Damon
Morgan to see if any other
legal steps can be taken in
this situation. As an elected official, it appears the
commission alone cannot
remove Anthony and as
far as any other options —
they remain to be seen.
Also attending yesterday’s meeting was Morgan
who was asked to sit in on
an executive session concerning personnel. Obviously, speculation is that
the discussion turned to
Anthony. Commissioners
said they did not anticipate
taking action after the session though the outcome
was not known at press
time.
Morgan told The Point
Pleasant Register earlier
this week that his office
would be handling the Anthony case after Anthony’s
motion to waive his right
to a preliminary hearing
was granted in favor of taking a chance with a grand
jury. Morgan said the reasons for recusal the Mason
County magistrates stated
were not applicable to his
office.

Commissioners
open sewer
replacement
bid
By Charlene Hoeflich

choeflich@heartlandpublications.com

POMEROY — A single
bid on a project to replace
or repair three septic tanks
on home sites of low income residents was opened
at Thursday’s meeting of the
Meigs County Commissioners.
The bid of $16,780 was
from Ron Evans Enterprises, LLC of Jackson in the
amount of $16,780. It will
be reviewed with action to
be taken at a later meeting.
Jean Trussell, Meigs County’s grant administrator, reported that the work will be
paid for with an EPA grant
from the Ohio Department
of Development.
Another project discussed during the meeting was the construction
of a waterless restroom in
a handicapped accessible
building to be erected on the
Meigs SWCD Conservation
park area near Rutland. The
proposed building will consist of a 10x20 three room
concrete block building
constructed on a 20 x30 foot
concrete slab poured over a
1,000 gallon concrete holding tank.
Access to the restroom
will be provided by a four
foot wide sidewalk from
the parking lot, another four
foot sidewalk from the existing shelter house and a four
foot wide sidewalk from the
existing walking bridge.
The expectation is that
the project will be carried
out with a Community Development Block Grant (
CBGD) grant but as yet it
has not been put out for bid.
In other business Mike
Bartrum was reappointed
to serve on the SCIP/LTP
county sub-committee. Bills
for the past week totaling
$323,930 were approved for
payment. Attending were
Commissioners
Bartrum,
Tim Ihle, and Tom Anderson, along with Trussell.

AAA8 Long-Term Care
Ombudsman coming
to Meigs County
By Charlene Hoeflich

choeflich@heartlandpublications.com

POMEROY — The Rock
Springs Rehabilitation Center
in Pomeroy and Overbrook
Care Center in Middleport
are two of six facilities in the
eight county region served by
the Area Agency on Aging
8 (AAA8) selected to be included in the Long Term Care
Ombudsman Program being
initiated by that agency.
The program, called “Culture Change,” is being geared
up to support the region’s person-centered care. The Ombudsman program addresses
concerns about the quality of
long-term care services and
negotiates for the solution of
problems that arise between
providers and consumers of
long-term care services.
Culture Change is the
common name given to a
national movement for the
transformation of older adult
services based on personcentered values and practices.
“The Ohio Person-centered Care Coalition, is developing this philosophical
approach to nursing home
care that honors and respects
the voice of elders and those
working closest with them,”
said AAA8 LTC Ombudsman Program Director Kim

Flanigan. “It involves a continuing process of listening,
trying new things, seeing
how they work, and changing
things in an effort to individualize care and de-institutionalize the nursing home environment.”
Person-centered care is
not about more forms, more
lists, more reporting, or more
work. It is about finding a
decent and kind way to serve
older adults that makes their
lives and the lives of their
caregivers more meaningful,
a common-sense approach to
bringing care back into caregiving at the nursing home
and enriching the lives of
those that live and work there.
AAA8 will begin working with facilities across the
8-county region, which includes in addition to the two
facilities in Meigs County,
The Arbors in Marietta, Logan Health Care Center,
Hickory Creek Nursing Facility in The Plains, and the
New Lexington Care and Rehabilitation Center.
For more information
about the program call 1-800331-2644 or visit www.areaagency8.org. AAA8 serves
Athens, Hocking, Meigs,
Monroe, Morgan, Noble,
Perry and Washington Counties.

Sacrifice
From Page A1

summer, having recently left
West Virginia and moved to
Akron, I learned the Ohio Veterans Memorial Park nearby,
was sponsoring a motorcycle
ride on Veterans weekend. I
thought I remembered reading that although Stewart was
born in Mason County, that
there was also mention of him
living in Middleport, so I suspected he might be on the wall
at the Ohio park. Through
a quick web search, I found
that he was. I was already in
the process of getting my motorcycle license, and thought
it would be nice if a former
Mason County resident could
sponsor and carry the flag of
a Mason County hero. So, I
signed up. I never knew him,
but felt privileged to honor
him in the 3095 Ride.”
According to his Medal
of Honor citation: “Staff Sgt.
Stewart served in Company
B, 2d Battalion, 12th Cavalry, 1st Cavalry Division. He
was posthumously awarded
the Congressional Medal of
Honor for his actions in the
Vietnam War. According
to his Medal of Honor citation, “Early in the morning
(May 18, 1966) a reinforced
North Vietnamese company
attacked Company B, which
was manning a defensive pe-

rimeter in Vietnam. The surprise onslaught wounded five
members of a six-man squad
caught in the direct path of the
enemy’s thrust. S/Sgt. Stewart
became a lone defender of vital terrain—virtually one man
against a hostile platoon.
Refusing to take advantage of a lull in the firing
which would have permitted
him to withdraw, S/Sgt. Stewart elected to hold his ground
to protect his fallen comrades
and prevent an enemy penetration of the company perimeter. As the full force of
the platoon-sized man attack
struck his lone position, he
fought like a man possessed;
emptying magazine after
magazine at the determined,
on-charging enemy. The enemy drove almost to his position and hurled grenades,
but S/Sgt. Stewart decimated
them by retrieving and throwing the grenades back. Exhausting his ammunition, he
crawled under intense fire to
his wounded team members
and collected ammunition
that they were unable to use.
Far past the normal point of
exhaustion, he held his position for four harrowing hours
and through three assaults, annihilating the enemy as they
approached and before they

could get a foothold. As a result of his defense, the company position held until the
arrival of a reinforcing platoon which counterattacked
the enemy, now occupying
foxholes to the left of S/Sgt.
Stewart’s position.
After the counterattack,
his body was found in a shallow enemy hole where he had
advanced in order to add his
fire to that of the counterattacking platoon. Eight enemy
dead were found around his
immediate position, with evidence that 15 others had been
dragged away. The wounded
whom he gave his life to
protect, were recovered and
evacuated. S/Sgt. Stewart’s
indomitable courage, in the
face of overwhelming odds,
stands as a tribute to himself
and an inspiration to all men
of his unit. His actions were
in the highest traditions of the
U.S. Army and the Armed
Forces of his country.”
As noted earlier, Staff
Sgt. Stewart was one of three
men the Bridge of Honor was
named in memory of, including the late Gen. James V.
Hartinger and Cpl. Edward
A. Bennett. Stewart also had a
small bridge named after him
this year in Meigs County on
US 33 which connects with
Ohio 7 - it was named the
“Staff Sergeant Jimmy G.
Stewart - Veterans Bridge.”

Gas line explosion deemed accidental
By Amber Gillenwate
mdtnews@mydailytribune.com

GLOUSTER, Ohio — A
gas explosion on the Athens/Morgan County line
that left two people injured
and several structures on
Wednesday morning has
been deemed as a “noncriminal” incident by investigators with the Ohio Division of State Fire Marshal.
According to a press released issued on Thursday
by Shane Cartmill, Public
Information Officer with
the state fire marshal’s office, investigators found no
evidence of criminal intent
and, based on evidence and
extensive interviews, the
officials deemed the explosion the result of the ignition of natural gas following a physical failure on the

pipeline.
Reportedly, investigators could not determine the
exact source of ignition, but
believe a spark from debris,
static electricity or nearby
power transformers likely
ignited the natural gas.
Five nearby structures
caught fire from radiant
heat, not from the initial
blast that occurred at approximately 8:30 a.m. on
Wednesday morning at
9436 Taylor Road and 9500
Taylor Road in Glouster,
Morgan County. Two occupied homes, one unoccupied home and one barn
were destroyed by the fire,
while a second barn sustained fire damage but was
quickly extinguished by fire
fighters.
In addition, two individuals sustained minor in-

juries and were both treated
and released.
A total of 14 fire departments responded to
the incident from Morgan,
Athens and Perry Counties and reportedly completely contained the blaze,
that occurred as a result of
a rupture in a 36-inch gas
line owned by the Houstonbased Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company, by 1 p.m.
Wednesday afternoon.
Deputies from sheriff’s
offices of Morgan, Athens, Perry and Washington
County also responded to
the scene, as well as representatives from the Ohio
Emergency Management
Agency and EMA directors
from Morgan and Athens
County. The Ohio Highway
Patrol and Ohio Department of Transportation also

assisted during the incident.
According to Cartmill,
as the Division of State Fire
Marshal and Morgan County Sheriff’s Office investigation has concluded, the
scene will now be handed
over to the U.S. Department
of Transportation (USDOT). The Public Utilities
Commission of Ohio will
also continue to assist the
USDOT in the investigation through its cooperative
agreement with the department.
Cartmill also reported
that the Ohio EPA will continue to monitor any potential environmental impact,
while representatives from
the El Paso Corporation
and Tennessee Gas Pipeline
will also remain at the scene
conducting an investigation
into Wednesday’s incident.

Ohio troopers say they
find gift-wrapped pot
SPRINGFIELD, Ohio
(AP) — Ohio troopers making a traffic stop say they
found a pot present: a giftwrapped package containing 25 individually wrapped
packets of marijuana.
The driver, from Washington state, has been
charged with trafficking and
possession of marijuana and
possession of criminal tools,
both felonies, and a misdemeanor count of driving under suspension.
The State Highway Patrol says the 28 pounds of
pot discovered in the car’s

DAYTON, Ohio (AP) —
An Ohio woman and three
others have been charged
in the death of her 14-yearold daughter, who had cerebral palsy and weighed 28
pounds when she died.
The Montgomery County coroner’s office ruled that
the girl died March 1 from
nutritional and medical neglect complicated by her
chronic condition. She died
minutes after paramedics
rushed her to a hospital.
A Dayton grand jury
indicted the girl’s mother,

charges of involuntary manslaughter and endangering
children. The teen’s former
nurse faces charges including involuntary manslaughter. Two other women are
charged with failing to report child abuse.

Ask Dr. Brothers

Parents apply the
pressure for baby
By Dr. Joyce Brothers

Dear Dr. Brothers: My
parents love my new husband. That’s the good part.
Unfortunately, they have
done nothing but pressure
us to have a baby ever since
we got married, two years
ago. We still are establishing our careers, saving for
a house and are perfectly
happy with our two dogs
as “kids.” We probably will
want a family someday, but
how do we get my folks to
stop with all the baby talk?
So far, we have just laughed
it off, but we are starting to
avoid them. — L.L.
Dear L.L.: It’s not good
to be avoiding your parents
because they are so persistent. That could lead to a
very sad situation in which
you drift apart, or they feel
rejected and hurt. At the
same time, they must begin
to realize that what they are
doing is not only insensitive but unfair to you and
your husband. Perhaps your
strategy of laughing it off is
doing nothing but encouraging them to hope that you
will soon be announcing a
wonderful surprise.
I know it will be an uncomfortable undertaking,
but the two of you need to
consider confronting your
parents and having a kind
but serious conversation
about this troubling topic.
Let them know how much
it bothers you that you can’t
fulfill their dreams at the
moment, but outline the reasons why, just as you have
for me. Tell them that when
the time is right, they will be
the first to know, and assure
them that you are in it for the
long haul. This is an age-old
problem, and most parents
just want to be assured that
there will be continuity of
the family tree and that they
will have the opportunity to
know their grandchildren
before becoming too old
to enjoy them. Some folks
just keep these thoughts to
themselves better than others!
* **
Dear Dr. Brothers: I’ve
been single for many years
after a short marriage eons
ago. I’ve always enjoyed a
good sex life with my partners, and never have had the
urge to settle down and get

Dr. Joyce Brothers
married again. Perhaps this
makes me unusual. Anyway, now that I am drawing
Social Security, I find that
my sex life has dropped off
pretty dramatically. I still
have a couple of men whom
I go out with occasionally,
but they just aren’t interested in that kind of fun.
Should I just give up? —
C.N.
Dear C.N.: The sex life
of older people has been
one of the last bastions of
ageism: The mere topic is
certain to elicit a cringe factor — or jokes — among
those not yet in their mature years. The concept
that Grandpa and Grandma
also have an active sex life
is uncomfortable to young
people. And as a single
older woman, you probably are influenced by the
society around you, which
would just as soon not even
consider your needs. So I
can understand why you are
feeling discouraged about
your romantic prospects for
the future.
But as our society ages
and the freewheeling baby
boomers — many of whom
are single — go kicking
and screaming into their
golden years, there’s been a
resurgence of dating and romance, facilitated by online
dating sites designed just
for them. And with the help
of performance-enhancing
products, there still are
many men who are eager to
continue their sex lives. According to a study out of the
University of California at
San Diego, sexual satisfaction among older women
not only is possible but is
associated with a better
quality of life as they age.
So I would encourage you
to continue looking for love
— just try some new places.

It’s noble to want to do good, but easier said than done
By Thomas Johnson

Last week I wrote of the
unfolding drama at Penn
State University, where a
former assistant football
coach is alleged to have
molested eight or more
boys over a period of years.
Needless to say, there’s no
end in sight to the on-going
flak and fall-out.
F.Y.I.: one who is “alleged” to have done something is only accused of that
wrong; the deed has yet to
be proven and the perpetrator convicted—i.e., “innocent until proven guilty.”
And whereas the courts still
need to ascertain the truth
of the many charges still
coming to light, God already knows all there is to
know.
Leaving this issue alone
for the moment, I’m reminded that the year I attended Penn State was one
of great unrest. President
Nixon was in office that

year, i.e., 1969-‘70, and
his decision to up the ante
in the Vietnam Conflict by
ordering bombing raids into
Cambodia provoked still
more turmoil nation-wide.
Two or so years later,
while I was serving in the
Middle East, our C.O. came
on the ship’s Public Address
system one day, and made a
rather cryptic statement to
the effect Nixon was still
our Commander-in-Chief
and therefore we were obligated to respect and obey
him.
For those of you who
were more privy to the current events of that time—
trust me, half way around
the world we were not!—
that was a reference to Watergate. Inherent in that sordid affair was the reminder
“power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.”
Whatever else yet may
be concluded from the
scandal at Penn State, let no

Being Faithful to Fidelity
Fidelity. It means to be
faithful, dedicated, devoted,
committed, exactness, and
attention to detail. When
we diverge from the Word,
we have issues. The followers of the Lord Jesus
Christ need to be faithful
in thought, word and deed.
Everything that we think,
say and do impacts others
either positively or negatively for the Kingdom of
God.
With that in mind, are we
being faithful, dedicated,
committed with attention to
detail to the Word? Well, for
starters, if we are not reading the Bible then we have
a problem. We can not be
“Sunday Christians” only
showing up on Sundays and
forgetting to live it all the
rest of the week.
Churches have forgotten the importance of fidelity to the Word of God,
staying true to the Bible.
Reason for traditions are
important. Following a tradition for the sake of tradition is wrong. Following it
because there is an understanding of the meaning is
a different story. The “why”
of those traditions and symbolism needs to be taught.
If not, it is a meaningless
endeavor, a fruitless action
that produces momentary
“warm-fuzzies”.
Fidelity to the Word

Carrie Wolfe

means that someone is more
likely going to be offended.
It leaves little room for political correctness. Jesus
was not PC. He would tell
people things about themselves no one else knew.
He exposed sin. Either they
sought repentance and forgiveness or they went on
their way continuing in
their sin. Either way, Jesus
remained faithful and true
to the Word, because He is
the Word.
Our greatest witness
should be in the relationships and people we see on
a daily basis. We should be
reflecting the light of the
Son, Jesus. People should
ask what it is that you have,
and how can they get it too.
The difference is we need to

be the light in the darkness.
It should never be about
throwing judgmental statements out and leaving people to harden their hearts.
The measure for everything
should be the fruit of the
Spirit (love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness,
faithfulness (fidelity), gentleness, self-control).
To be like Him is the
goal of the church and every believer. Sometimes we
succeed and amazing things
happen. Sometimes we
stray from the program and
awful things happen. Hearts
are broken and hardened.
Worst of all, souls remain
lost.
Think about it this way,
if Jesus were your employer and He was doing
an evaluation on you based
on exhibiting the fruit of
the Spirit what would your
score sheet look like?
We must find a passion
for fidelity in our thoughts,
our words and our deeds.
We need to find a passion
for fidelity to the Word in
our churches and in the
Body of Christ. It all begins
in our own hearts. Individually we must begin the
movement to bring fidelity
apart of the culture of the
church once more. If we
can, we can truly live a life
of Grace Out Loud!

Not “I Hope So” but “I
Know So” Part 2

Pastor Alex Colón

Lighthouse Assembly of
God Gallipolis

Last time we learned
about NSF checks and how
disheartening they are when
we receive them. We also
mentioned that hope differed makes the heart sick
and an NSF check causes
such emotions in the life of
the individual.
As we go through life by
chance instead of by faith,
hoping that life gets better
for us as opposed to “knowing that life will get better”
we can call this the “NSF
(Non Sufficient Faith) life”
despite all circumstances
around us”
You see, God has deposited all the necessary faith
we need in order to have a
Bible based faith-filled life.
This encompasses a lot but
suffice it to say that God has
deposited enough inside the
Believer to give us a successful lifestyle. This lifestyle is hinged on the law of
faith working for us.
Remember that the
Kingdom of God works
every time! You might say:
“yeah, but Pastor Alex, you
never know what to expect.
We hear so much bad news
these days — another flu
outbreak, another company
laid off its worker. I really
hope that I will not get laid
off myself. But I cannot be

Alex Colon
sure. I am keeping my fingers crossed.”
Truth is Biblical hope is
not “I hope so” but “I know
so”! You can have a confident expectation of good
happening to you because
you are not like the people
of the world. If you are a
child of the living God, then
you have a Savior watching
over you.
This Savior has given
you the whole estate, the
entire account and not just
a promissory note. In Galatians 4 the Bible tells us that
God has given us and made
us part of His entire estate,
according to the promise of
Abraham.
This is a kingdom promise, a kingdom operation
and a legal matter, which,
I wish I had the space here
to develop this important

teaching. But remember
that if you are a child of
God, you don’t need to just
hope that good happens to
you. You can actually confidently expect by faith that
good is coming your way.
In fact, you can know for
sure that good is yours now
because you have the estate.
You have all your needs met
according to His kingdom
promises. I didn’t say that –
the Bible does because God
did say it.
The poverty religious
mentality has a hard time
believing this truth – but
Bible truth is truth no matter how you slice it. Furthermore, God did not make
us heirs of a future promise
in heaven, but rather, heirs,
partakers, and recipients of
His estate. If you want to
confirm this, read the story
of the prodigal son which
everyone seems to be familiar with. However, keep
in mind that though you
may not be the prodigal son
himself, yet you might be
his brother. Look at what
the father told the prodigal
son’s brother. It’s an amazing revelation.
I do not hope that my life
will be good and successful, but I know so because
of who supplies my needs,
and who takes care of me
and what He has made me
a part of.
Make it a Great “I know
so” Day!

it.

I found it amusing, but
that reminded me of what
Jesus said about those who
practice evil being contemptuous of the light God
has sent into the world—
i.e., Jesus himself. The reason is quite simple: when
compared to and contrasted with Jesus, there is no
degree or element of evil
which is not radically and
explicitly exposed by the
light” (Jn. 3:20).
Richard Nixon behaved
badly for a sitting President,
but he did worse by trying
to hide his wrongful behavior instead of admitting
it. Later, in the mid-‘80’s,
two prominent T.V. personalities, both televangelists,
likewise failed to fess-up
for the wrongs they had
committed, and only did so
after the fact when the truth
came to light.
An old protest song asks
the question, “When will
they ever learn?” For us the

question is this: … when
will we stop pretending
otherwise, and start living
in the awareness that “our
adversary, the devil walks
about like a lion seeking
who he may devour”? (Peter 5:8)
It’s noble to want to do
good, but that’s easier said
than done. Paul acknowledged the inherent, roiling
conflict within us that works
against our wonderful talk
becoming our everyday
walk (Rom. 7:15-25). (Or,
as my father put it—“hell
is full of people with good
intentions.”)
I’m not talking some
simple pratfall, nor even a
more grievous pitfall. We
set ourselves up for doom
and gloom, to fail and become the Devil’s “food”
when we ignore Jesus. His
presence and power is critical to our success and survival as his disciples. Get
the picture?!?

A Hunger For More

By Thom Mollohan

The key to real thanksgiving is a good dose of
reality, particularly when
one wonders what it is for
which one should be thankful. On the one hand, I
could rehearse the fact that
I am beset by human nature,
a nature that is inclined
to revel in sin (disobedience to God). I might even
be tempted to despair over
the fact that, “God looks
down from heaven on the
sons of men to see if there
are any who understand,
any who seek God. Everyone has turned away, they
have together become corrupt; there is no one who
does what is good, not even
one…. For all have sinned
and fall short of the glory
of God” (Psalm 53:2-3; Romans 3:23).
Granted, these are difficult ideas to digest, but
they are important because
just on the other side of the
grim truth of these are beautiful and amazing treasures
awaiting us that will not be
ours if we cannot see what
it cost God for us to possess
them.
Let’s not kid ourselves.
Who do you know that is
perfect… really perfect?
You might know someone who seems to be so,
but were you to look in
his heart, you’d see that he
struggles just like you and I
do. It might be though that
we are oblivious to our own
sin, but keep in mind that
even the subtle presence of
pride over a self-righteous
adherence to the Law is appalling to God, not to mention the horror of outright
haughtiness.
We are loaded with sin
(even if only in the depths
of our hearts) and there
truly is no righteousness
that we might earn or purchase that will satisfy the
holy perfection of God:
“… no one will be declared
righteous in God’s sight by
observing the Law…” (Romans 3:20). But we may yet
be set free from sin’s awful
condemnation and stand in
God’s favor through faith
in God’s Son Who has delivered to us the gift of salvation. “…A righteousness
from God, apart from the
Law, has been made known,
to which the Law and the
Prophets testify. This righteousness from God comes
through faith in Jesus Christ
to all who believe… and are
justified freely by His grace
through the redemption that
came by Christ Jesus. God
presented Him as a sacri-

fice of atonement, through
faith in His blood” (Romans
3:21-22, 24-25a).
What a tremendous
truth! What an amazing
treasure for which to be
thankful! Although I deserve judgment, because of
Jesus’ death on the Cross,
I am given forgiveness if I
truly turn to Him in faith!
Although I deserve punishment, because of Jesus’ sacrifice, I am given grace the
moment in which I choose
to trust in His name! And
although I deserve to reap
the consequences of my
sin (along with all the rest
of humanity), I am given a
new future, a new life, and a
new identity when I forsake
my old life and my old ways
to follow Him!
“Jesus Himself bore our
sins in His body on the
‘tree’, so that we might die
to sins and live for righteousness; by His wounds
we have been healed. For
we were like sheep going
astray, but now we have
returned to the Shepherd
and Overseer of our souls”
(from 1 Peter 2:24-25).
So… any favor that God
chooses to bestow upon me
is already far and away beyond my deserved allotment
and infinitely more than I
have any right, in of myself
and apart from Christ, to expect. What a GOOD God!
If you’ll trust Him as
your Savior and Lord,
you’ll find no surer a foundation on which to build
your life than is the simple
truth that He is good. “Taste
and see that the LORD is
good; blessed is the man
who takes refuge in Him”
(Psalm 34:8).
He is good when the sun
shines and flowers bloom,
but He is just as good when
it is raining and our skies
are gray. He is good when
there is food on the table
and we’ve a nice full feeling after a meal, but He is
just as good when our cupboards are bare and we’re

not sure from where our
next meal will come. God
is good when we’re happy
and a song of joy is in our
hearts, but He is also good
when our sorrow threatens to swallow us up like
a strangling grave. He is
good when we are strong
and our feet fall sure and
steady along the walk of
life, and He is good when
our strength has faded and
we fall to our knees in weariness. He is good when
we’re surrounded by supporters and well-wishers,
but He’s just as good when
we are surrounded by enemies who are bent on hurting and destroying us. God
is good.
Let us be thankful then
that God Almighty is greater than our problems: we
can depend on His strength
and wisdom to lead us
through them victoriously.
Let us be thankful that the
Everlasting Father (see Isaiah 9:6) is full of grace and
mercy without end: we can
depend on His promises to
forgive those who will truly
place their faith in Him and
that He will meet them with
forgiveness and the gift of
eternal life (see Romans
6:23). Let us be thankful
that He is strong and well
able to support, encourage,
and guide those who become His children through
faith in Christ Jesus: we
can depend on His strength
and faithfulness even when
our own blinded sensibilities deny them (see Psalm
27:5). God is good… and
He’s good ALL the time!
Let us begin the holiday
season with revisiting this
heavenly “reality check”.
Let our hearts be open and
soft to the healing touch
of God’s forgiveness and
grace. Let us “drink in”
the amazing and wonderful
truth that God is good and
let our gift to Him be the
gift of thankfulness!
“You are forgiving and
good, O Lord, abounding in
love to all who call to You.
Hear my prayer, O LORD;
listen to my cry for mercy.
In the day of trouble I will
call to You, for You will answer me” (Psalm 86:7).

Occupy protesters coordinate
in marches nationwide

NEW YORK (AP) Demonstrations of Occupy Wall
Street protesters popped up
from coast to coast Thursday
to mark two months since the
movement’s birth in a lower
Manhattan park. Dozens of
protesters were arrested by
midday near Wall Street in
New York, while hundreds
of protesters marched in the
financial district in Los Angeles.
A few hundred demonstrators paraded through lower
Manhattan for several hours
Thursday morning, and about
50 to 60 were arrested as
they thronged intersections
near the New York Stock Exchange, brokerage houses and

banks.
“All day, all week, shut
down Wall Street!” the crowd
chanted.
Helmeted officers hauled
several protesters to their feet
after they sat down in the
street to block traffic. Most of
the crowd then assembled in
Zuccotti Park, from which the
protesters’ camp was evicted
this week. There were more
rallies planned later in the day.
About 500 sympathizers of
the Occupy protest marched
in downtown Los Angeles.
The protesters, chiefly a coalition of labor unions, gathered
between the Bank of America
tower and Wells Fargo Plaza,
chanting “Banks got bailed

out, we got sold out.”
Protesters in Las Vegas
vowed to pitch tents in front
of a federal building. In Albany, N.Y., protesters from
Buffalo, Rochester and other
encampments were coming in
by bus to join a demonstration
in a downtown park.
Police in Portland, Ore.,
closed a bridge in preparation
for a march there.
In New York, where dozens are typically arrested in
periodic marches since the
movement began, police
hauled sit-in protesters to their
feet, handcuffing them and
setting up metal barricades.

CONCEPTIS SUDOKU
by Dave Green

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Tuesday,
Oct. 18, 2011:
This year your community and/
or professional image increases.
Whatever your activity might be, it
takes a lot of time and patience. You
will feel pressured often and will need
to reorient your plans and thinking
accordingly. A partnership plays a
significant role. If you are attached,
your sweetie adds to the dimension of
your life. You could develop a newly
discovered closeness. If you are single,
you need to decide what type of relationship you want. The right person
will surface. CANCER often gives you
additional responsibilities.
The Stars Show the Kind of Day
You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive;
3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
HHHH You visualize the possibilities, but to act on them might mean a
change in your view and perspective.
Don’t think that anything is impossible.
Develop greater security. Start telling
yourself what you do well, as opposed
to what you need to work on. Tonight:
So many invitations.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
HHHHH Keep communication
flowing, though you could hit a boulder in a relationship. You could get
stuck and decide to think in terms of
accepting this person as he or she is.
Communication flourishes and allows
you to gain financially and emotionally.
Tonight: Catch up on a friend’s news.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
HHH Listen to your instincts with
a controlling individual. Push comes
to shove. Your sense of well-being
expands. You are more willing to take
a risk right now. Think about your longterm desires. Also, be sensitive to others. Tonight: Time for a treat!
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
HHHHH You share a lot of feelings. A controlling individual in your life
could push you away or attempt to stop
you from emoting. Everyone’s style is
different. Your feelings are your own.
Many people cannot tolerate feeling
that deeply — hence their reaction.
Tonight: The world is your oyster.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
HHH Rethink a personal matter.
You could choose to say little but think
a lot. Reflect, test out an idea and perhaps use detachment in order to gain
understanding. Though you are passionate, there are times to be cool and
logical. You encounter one of these
periods. Tonight: Know that you don’t
need to be busy all the time!
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

HHHHH A meeting — whether
with a group, several friends or one
person — sets the tone for the day.
Recognize that if you can think of
something, it probably is possible.
Enthusiasm is contagious. Go ahead
and share your excitement; others will
join in. Tonight: Where people are.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
HHH You could push paper around
into little piles on your desk, or you
could dig in and resolve some of the
issues. Return messages and answer
questions. Remain open to a partner.
This person makes you laugh and
loosen up sometimes. Tonight: Burning
the midnight oil.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
HHHHH Others have a different
vision from you. They also might not
have the ability to understand what
you want to present. Learn from how
each individual communicates. When
speaking to each person, try to think
and communicate like him or her. You
might get better results. Tonight: Follow
the music.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
HHHHH Deal with each individual
directly. You could be surprised by
what happens. Most people flourish
with personal attention. Someone
reveals a lot more than usual. At this
point, an important discussion can
happen. Communication blossoms.
Tonight: Be with a favorite person.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
HHHH You might schedule a
meeting, but you could be surprised by
someone with the same idea. People
are unusually innovative and open.
Communication will flourish if you
resist controlling games and power
plays. Caring abounds as well. Tonight:
Where the fun is.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
HHHH Be willing to cancel a gettogether in order to complete a certain
amount of work. You could be too tired
to cover all the bases, nor do you need
to. Be willing to defer or eliminate. You
will want to be 100 percent present.
Don’t allow yourself to settle for less.
Tonight: Put your feet up.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
HHHHH Your creativity emerges
no matter which way you turn. A
romance or loving relationship could
become more intense or rewarding.
Funnel your unusual ingenuity into
what makes a difference for you. Open
up a conversation. Reveal your feelings. Tonight: Midweek break.

Four Turns
WAS DUE Kasey Kahne’s win at
1 HEPhoenix
was his first of 2011 and the

1. Tony Stewart

first for Red Bull Racing since Brian
Vickers went to Victory Lane at Michigan in August 2009. Prior to Sunday’s
win, Kahne had recorded five runs of
sixth or better in the Chase’s eight
races. His 331 points scored during
the Chase are second only to Carl Edwards and Tony Stewart, who have
each earned 356 points.

2. Carl Edwards
3. Kasey Kahne
4. Matt Kenseth
5. Kevin Harvick

FEAT Carl Edwards is looking
2 RARE
to become only the fourth driver in

6. Jimmie Johnson
7. Brad Keselowski

NASCAR history to win championshhips in two separate touring series
divisions. Edwards was the 2007 Nationwide Series champion. He would
join Bobby Labonte (Cup/Nationwide),
Johnny Benson Jr. (Nationwide/Truck)
and his Roush Fenway Racing teammate, Greg Biffle (Nationwide/Truck).

8. Denny Hamlin
9. Clint Bowyer
10. Greg Biffle

SEAT Ricky Sten3 INhouseTHEJr.DRIVER’S
can clinch the 2011 Nation-

wide Series championship at
Homestead-Miami Speedway with a
finish of 37th or better without leading any laps. If he earns a one-point
bonus for leading a lap, he’ll only
have to finish 38th or better, and if he
leads the most laps, a 39th-place run
clinches. His closest rival, Elliott
Sadler, was wrecked in the Phoenix
race by Jason Leffler, all but eliminating Sadler’s hopes at a first title.

11. Jeff Gordon
12. AJ Allmendinger
13. Marcos Ambrose
14. Kyle Busch
15. Martin Truex Jr.
Just off the lead pack:
Carl Edwards

It’s tough to rank Stewart ahead of Carl Edwards or vise versa, but Smoke gets the edge here because
he’s throwing wins on the board — and that’s fun to see.
His consistency — highlighted by consecutive runner-up showings — is unquestioned. Edwards
won the season finale in Homestead last season. Winning a second straight would clinch the title.
Kahne and his Red Bull team have been as good as anyone in the Chase — well OK, outside of the
two guys above. Had he made the playoffs, he’d still be mathematically alive.
Led 49 laps at Phoenix before the brakes started to fade. Then Brian Vickers did neither himself nor
Kenseth any favors by flagrantly exacting some revenge.
Harvick will come up just shy of a championship once again, most likely finishing third. But that’s
OK Kev, you still have the coolest paint scheme on tour.
Johnson’s five-year reign may be over, but let’s not proclaim the Jimmie Johnson Era over. J.J. and
Chad Knaus will probably just come back more focused and determined next season.
Keselowski’s three wins in 2011 are more than Penske’s No. 12 team have enjoyed in the six previous
years combined. It’s possible he could double that number next year.
When asked whether his sports psychologist might help teammate Kyle Busch he said, “We both
have screws loose — it’s just that some are tighter than others. And they’re in different places.”
Bowyer is finishing his tenure at Richard Childress Racing strong with six top 10s in the nine Chase
races thus far. Credit driver and team for hanging tough.
Has averaged a 14th-place finish throughout the Chase which, incidentally, is probably where he’ll
finish in the point standings if Kasey Kahne keeps coming on.
Looked as out to lunch at Phoenix as we’ve seen all year.
Allmendinger will be the next driver to score his first Cup victory.
Between Allmendinger and Ambrose, it’s obvious they’re doing something right at RPM.
Official reason for Kyle’s DNF at Phoenix: Karma.
If this team could ever learn to put an entire race together they’d be dangerous.

Carl Edwards and Tony Stewart
entered Sunday’s Kobalt Tools 500
at Phoenix International Raceway
separated by three points at the top
of NASCAR’s championship standings. And after finishing second (Edwards) and third (Stewart), they’ll
go to the season finale in Homestead, Fla., still three points apart.
Stewart led the most laps in
Phoenix, and appeared to be headed
toward his third consecutive victory,
but surrendered the lead on lap 294
when he was forced to pit road for a
splash of fuel.
That handed the lead to Kasey
Kahne, who has been on a tear of his
own lately. Kahne led the final 14
laps, beating Edwards to the finish
line by .802 seconds. The win was
Kahne’s eighth top-15 run in the last
nine races — an admirable feet for
a team that likely will not exist next
year due to Red Bull pulling out of
NASCAR’s ownership ranks.
“It feels great to get a win for Red
Bull and get a win in the 4 car,”
Kahne said. “It’s something new for

Throttle Up/Throttle Down

KASEY KAHNE He scored a huge win
for the soon-to-be defunct Red Bull Racing team at Phoenix, once again
proving he’s able to elevate the
team and its equipment. Even
better for Kahne: he is heading
to Hendrick Motorsports at
season’s end.
BRIAN VICKERS Kahne’s Red
Bull Racing teammate was more
concerned with getting payback
than winning a race at Phoenix.
Vickers has been involved in on-track incidents the last three weeks.

both of us (Kahne and crew chief
Kenny Francis) to come over and
have a one-year deal. It takes time to
get familiar with things and the people and working together. To win a
race at this level, as competitive as
everything is right now, for myself,
to see how happy all the pit crew
guys were, it was pretty cool.”
Meanwhile, Edwards and Stewart
are locked in a razor-thin battle for
the title, using different means to
achieve the same goal.
Edwards has used consistency to
claim the top spot in the point standings — his worst finish since Bristol
in late August was an 11th at treacherous Talladega. He and the No. 99
team have seemingly tip-toed through
the Chase, averaging a 5.2-place finish thus far. He grabbed the lead at
Dover in the Chase’s third event, but
still has yet to win a playoff race.
“(It’s) a zero sum game, one of us
is going to win, one of us is going to
lose,” Edwards says. “It’s neat to me
that Tony and the guys on the 14
(team) are running so well, won so
many races, performing on a high
level. It’s going to mean more if
we’re able to beat them in this

Sam Hornish Jr.’s win in the Nationwide Series
race at Phoenix International Raceway was his first
NASCAR victory.
A three-time IndyCar champion and winner of the 2006 Indianapolis 500, Hornish’s foray into NASCAR began in ’06 when he
entered two Nationwide Series races under the Penske Racing banner. By 2008, he was racing full-time in NASCAR’s premier Sprint
Cup Series in Penske’s No. 77 Dodge.
Over the course of the next two seasons, Hornish struggled in
Cup equipment, and when sponsorship ran dry, he found himself
in a part-time Penske ride in the Nationwide Series in 2011.
While many opined that Hornish should make a return to the IndyCar Series, where he is largely considered one of the greats of
his generation, he stood firm that NASCAR was where he wanted
to be. And that’s what made his win on Saturday special.
“There were many times where I shook my head and go ‘Why
did I do this?’” Hornish said. “But I did know that I would always

n

championship because of that.
“We haven’t gone out and got the
trophies that we have in other
Chases, but we’ve performed better
than we ever have. If they’re beating
us, they’re beating us at our best,
and I think that’s pretty neat.”
Stewart, on the other hand, has attacked the playoffs with reckless
abandon, throwing caution to the
wind, ripping off four playoff wins
to pull just shy of even with Edwards with one race remaining. His
performance is in stark contrast to
the 26-race regular season when
Stewart’s No. 14 team failed to sniff
Victory Lane.
“We’ve had one of those up-anddown years and we’re having a run
in this Chase now where we’re hungry,” Stewart said after his third
Chase win. “We’re hungry for this.
I feel like our mindset into these
next three weeks, we’ve been nice
all year to a lot of guys, given guys
a lot of breaks. We’re cashing tickets
in these next three weeks.”
One final weekend, two determined drivers and three points separating them.
May the best team win.

regret not trying it, so I’m just really, really excited
that we were able to keep it going. It ranks right
up there (with the biggest wins of my career).”
“Phoenix has always been one of my favorite places,” an emotional Hornish continued. “I started my first Nationwide Series race
here, my first Sprint Cup race, won my first IndyCar Series race
here and now I’ve won my first Nationwide Series race here.”
So what does this mean for Hornish’s NASCAR career going forward? Team owner Roger Penske believe 2012 could be a big one
for Hornish and crew chief Chad Walter:
“I feel for Sam. He’s been real humble for the last 12-18 months,
coming off being an Indy 500 winner, coming over here (with) aspirations to run up out front.
“I think this sets up for what we want to do next year. Obviously,
our goal is to run for the championship in Nationwide with Sam
next year. Alliance (Truck Parts) is our partner and Chad the crew
chief and this is a great win for us.”

Crew Chief’s Take: “Long straightaways
transition into corners where speed must
be maintained — at least partially — to
set up a pass in the center off. A car that
can pick up the throttle quickly off the corner is one that can pass. That track was
such a disaster when it opened. They
shaped it like Indy, only smaller, but didn’t
realize that squared-off corners are just
dangerous on a track that’s a mile and
half, not two. So they rounded the corners,
and then stage three was tapering the
banking. It took a bunch of money and revamping, but they got it right.”

Classic Moments
Homestead-Miami Speedway
The 2004 Ford 400 in Homestead marks the
final race of NASCAR’s inaugural Chase for the
Championship.
Kurt Busch enters the event 18 points ahead
of Jimmie Johnson and 21 up over Jeff Gordon,
but on lap 93 the wheels come off. Literally.
Busch loses his right front wheel while running
second to Greg Biffle, when the hub completely
detaches from the car. Luckily, Busch has already ducked to the pit access road, although
he nearly hits the pit road wall in the process.
Amazingly, Busch never loses a lap, and
wins a game of points-leader leapfrog, finishing fifth while Johnson is second and Gordon
third. Eight points separate Busch from Johnson, marking the tightest points finish in
NASCAR history.

Athlon Fantasy Stall
Looking at Checkers: Points leader Carl Edwards has two wins and six top 10s in seven
starts at HMS.
Pretty Solid Pick: Tony Stewart is going to be
on Carl’s bumper all race long. Or maybe in
front of it.
Good Sleeper Pick: AJ Allmendinger has yet
to win a Cup race, but that may change on
Sunday. He’s never finished worse than 11th in
Homestead.
Runs on Seven
Cylinders: Kyle
Busch has typically
thrown in the towel by
now. This year is probably
no exception.
Insider Tip: This
one’s for all the
marbles.
Your
lineup needs to include either Edwards or Stewart.

Pleasant have combined
to win the last 15 Class
AA state championships
in wrestling, but these two
accomplished schools have
never met on the same football field before.
That is, until Saturday
afternoon.
The top-rated Big Blacks
(11-0) host the ninth-seeded
Golden Bears (10-1) in a
pivotal Class AA quarterfinal at 1:30 p.m. at the Ohio
Valley Bank Track and
Field located on the campus
of Point Pleasant Junior-Senior High School in Mason
County.
Both Point Pleasant and
Oak Glen have long been
known for sending athletes
and teams to the state tournament in numerous sports,
with wrestling being the
most common link between
the two programs.
The Big Blacks finished
as Class AA runners-up
three times to Oak Glen at
the state meet from 2007
through 2009, which ended
up being the final crowns
for the Golden Bears since
beginning their streak back
in 1997.
Point ended Oak Glen’s
13-year reign as champion
by capturing the program’s
first wrestling title in the
2010 campaign, then the
Big Blacks repeated as
Class AA champions last
winter.
Even fifth-year head
football coach Dave Darst,
who is 34-20 overall during
his tenure at PPHS, cannot
help but mention the rivalry
between these two schools

during the winter months.
He also notes that he is
excited about adding some
fall history to this story.
“I’m an old wrestling
coach myself, so I do understand the rivalry between
the two schools there. We
have a lot of wrestlers on
this football team, so a lot
of us already respect any
athletic program that wears
the Oak Glen name,” Darst
said. “Those people up
there do an outstanding job,
and that’s why they usually
have success.
“We are excited about
the opportunity to add another chapter to this rivalry,
and also to see something
new.”
The similarities in wrestling are trickling over to
the gridiron, as both programs are enjoying recordbreaking seasons following
last week’s playoff victories.
Point Pleasant, playing
in its ninth postseason ever,
won just its second playoff
game with a 41-0 victory
over 16th-seeded Ritchie
County. The Big Blacks
posted their first-ever postseason shutout in their
first-ever postseason win at
OVB Track and Field. Point
has also won 11 games only
once in any one season in
history (1979).
OGHS, making its thirdever postseason appearance,
won just its second playoff
game with a 28-20 road win
over eighth-seeded Roane
County. The Golden Bears
had never won 10 games in
any one season before last
week and also joined the
1993 squad (North Marion)
in earning a playoff victory.
Both Point Pleasant and
Oak Glen have been to the
state semifinals once before
in football, which is where
the winner of Saturday’s

BOWLING
GREEN,
Ohio (AP) Matt Weller made
a 23-yard field goal as time
expired to lift Ohio past
Bowling Green 29-28 on
Wednesday night.
The Bobcats (8-3, 5-2
Mid-American Conference)
took over on their own 10yard line for the game’s last
drive with 7:34 remaining.
After the Bobcats crossed
midfield, they were stuffed
on a third-and-1 on the Bowling Green 46. However the
Falcons (4-7, 2-5) committed
an offside penalty on fourth
down, allowing the drive to
continue.
Tyler Tettleton accounted
for 53 of the Bobcats 83 yards
on the final drive and finished
with 128 yards and a touchdown on 23 carries, and 194
yards and touchdown on 18
of 27 passing.
It was Ohio’s fourth
straight win overall and fifth
straight against the Falcons.
Matt Shilz had three
touchdowns and 232 yards on
23-of-34 passing for Bowling Green, which lost its third
straight.

contest will find itself in the
Class AA bracket. The 1993
OGHS team and the 1979
Point squad that defeated
George Washington both
played in eight-team qualifier brackets.
Coach Darst was a senior
on that 1979 Point Pleasant
squad, so he truly has a feel
for the similarities between
the two 11-0 teams at PPHS.
Darst also notes that being
one win away from school
history is a great motivator
for his troops.
“With a win this week,
we can argue that this is the
best group to ever put on the
Red and Black,” Darst said.
“Our numbers offensively
and defensively speak for
themselves, and we have
never been 12-0 before.
There are a lot of reasons
for us to play hard Saturday.”
The Big Blacks are
outscoring opponents by
510-88 margin this season,
averages of 46.4 and eight
points, respectively. Point
has two shutouts this season (Ravenswood 37-0) and
is plus-10 in turnover differential against an overall
strength of schedule of 4668.
In fact, PPHS has scored
37 or more points in 10 of
11 contests this fall and has
yet to surrender more than
18 points defensively in any
one outing. Point has also
been even or better in turnover differential in all 11 of
its games.
Those efforts on both
sides of the ball were apparent in last week’s win over
Ritchie County, as Point
Pleasant’s defense limited
the Rebels to just 88 yards
of total offense while jumping out to a 21-0 halftime
advantage.
The Big Blacks ended
up churning out 427 yards

of total offense in the win,
which increased Point’s offensive output this fall to
4,676 yards — just over 425
yards per game. Defensively, PPHS has surrendered
just 2,300 yards, an average
of 209 yards per contest.
It’s those kinds of things
that has coach Darst optimistic about his Big Blacks
right now.
“Getting the win last
week was one thing, but
I think it was the way we
went about it defensively
… that made it a real statement,” Darst said. “We
were efficient on offense
and our defense was dominant, and that’s what we
have to do right now to win
these games.”
The task doesn’t get any
easier for Point this weekend, as Oak Glen enters
its 10th season under head
coach Tony Filberto (47-55)
with multiple strengths and
weapons on both sides of
the ball.
The Golden Bears are
outscoring opponents by
367-167 clip, which respectively averages out at 33.4
and 15.2 points. OGHS
owns one shutout (Tyler
Consolidated 58-0) and is
5-1 in road games this fall,
with the lone loss coming
at Indian Creek (OH) by a
34-7 margin back in Week
3.
The Bears currently own
an eight-game winning
streak against an overall
strength of schedule of 3181. OGHS has scored 28 or
more points in eight of its
11 contests, and the Bears
have also limited opponents
to 20 or fewer points eight
times.
When asked about his
concerns with Oak Glen,
Darst simply spoke about

card teams for the postseason, meaning
10 of the 30 teams make the playoffs.
Selig said he hopes the expanded playoffs can start next year, but he said the
specifics are being worked out. The
players’ association favors the move.
“You do things for a long period of
time. The addition will really help us in
the long run,” Selig said.
Owners also approved longtime San
Francisco Giants executive Larry Baer
to replace Bill Neukom as the team’s
controlling owner.
In addition, MLB executive vice
president Rob Manfred said progress
was made on a new collective bargaining agreement to replace the deal that
expires Dec. 11.
Selig saluted McLane, who bought
the team in 1992 for about $117 million.
The Astros struggled mightily on the
field last season, losing 106 games.
“Drayton should have a wonderful
legacy of what he did for the Astros, got
them a new ballpark and did all these

things,” Selig said. “He sure left a much
better franchise than we he came in.”
Crane founded a Houston-based logistics company in 2008. He is chairman and chief executive officer of Crane
Capital, a private equity fund company.
Two years ago, he was attempting to
buy the Chicago Cubs and last summer
he tried to purchase the Texas Rangers.
In September, Crane expressed frustration at how long it was taking MLB
to move on the sale and noted there is a
Nov. 30 deadline.
In 1997, employees of Crane’s former company, Eagle USA Airfreight,
filed complaints with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission saying
there was discrimination. Eagle settled
the case in 2005 for about $900,000.
Selig acknowledged the long vetting
process.
“I’m very comfortable today telling
you he has put together a good group in
Houston,” the commissioner said.

Browns not
scoring
touchdowns
at home

BEREA, Ohio (AP)
There’s a joke floating
around Cleveland that goes:
Why is Browns Stadium a
safe place to go during a tornado? Because there’s never
a touchdown there.
Ba-dum-bum.
It’s not that funny, but it’s
somewhat true.
Cleveland hasn’t scored
a TD in two straight home
games,
a
131-minute
drought dating to Oct. 2.
Since Colt McCoy’s touchdown pass to tight end Benjamin Watson during garbage time of a 31-13 loss to
Tennessee, kicker Phil Dawson has accounted for all 18
points scored at home by the
Browns, who have gone 25
consecutive drives without
taking the ball across the
goal line.
“It’s frustrating,” McCoy
said Wednesday. “We spend
a lot of time working on
the red zone. We dedicated
a whole day to it, so we’ve
just got to find a way to get
down there and punch it in.”
The winless Indianapolis
Colts are the only team with
a longer current drought (29
drives) than the Browns,
who made four trips inside
St. Louis’ 20-yard line last
week but came away with
just four field goals by Dawson. It’s almost as if someone has posted a “Dead
End” sign near the goal line.
It’s not like the Browns
(3-6) have had many chances, either. Cleveland has
only had 18 possessions
inside the “red zone,” the
league’s second-lowest total. The worst figure belongs
to the Jacksonville Jaguars
(3-6), who will visit the
Browns on Sunday in what
on paper is shaping up to be
a colossal dud.
There are obvious reasons for the Browns’ scoring
struggles. A new offensive
system, injuries, a young
quarterback and few dependable playmakers have
contributed to Cleveland’s
inability to reach the end
zone. There’s been a trickledown effect they can’t seem
to stop or reverse.
“How do you bust
free from the touchdown
drought? Scoring touchdowns,” said Watson, doing
his best to explain the deficiency. “How do you score
touchdowns? Execution in
the red zone. How do you
execute in the red zone? Execution in practice. How do
you execute in practice? Pay
attention in the meetings. It
goes all the way down.
“It’s not a one-trick thing
that just happens and you
don’t just get lucky in the
red zone. When you see
teams score a lot of points,
it’s because they’re precise, it’s because they make
plays, it’s because stuff isn’t
always open and they somehow manage a way to get in
there. It takes a total team
effort. And a lot of times it’s
just that effort.”
The Browns can’t score
touchdowns early, late or
often. Amazingly, they have
not scored a TD in the first or
third quarters of any game.
Cleveland’s
offensive
players are aware of the
miserable scoring stats,
and would like to fix them.
However, there’s not much
they can do but keep working at making things better.
“At some point, it’s important not to dwell on it,”
Pro Bowl tackle Joe Thomas
said. “Sometimes when you
look at certain statistics that
are not going your way,
coaches and players can
make it more than it is. Not
that it’s not a big deal, but
when you think about it so
much, it kind of becomes a
mind block rather than going out one play at a time
and taking care of business.
“The natural response
is to get tight and nervous
once you get down in the
red zone, and that’s where
you start missing throws or
you get penalties or you’re

what stuck out on the game
film.
“Their offensive line
is huge and they have a
hard-running quarterback
that will punish you. They
are physical and very wellcoached, and we have been
very impressed by what
they do defensively because
they don’t make mistakes,”
Darst said. “We just have to
physically beat them, which
is what you would expect
from opponents this time of
year.”
Leading the way for Oak
Glen is senior quarterback
Lucas McDowell (6-2,
205), who has completed
16-of-32 passes for 250
yards to go along with three
touchdowns and three interceptions. McDowell, however, is most dangerous as
a runner, as the senior leads
the rushing attack with 200
carries for 1,648 yards and
17 TDs.

OGHS also uses a second
quarterback in junior Justin
Stivason (6-0, 230). On the
season, Stivason is 23-of-54
passing for 258 yards, with
five TDs and five interceptions thrown.
Running back Dylan Davis (6-2, 230) is the remaining focal point of the rushing attack, as the senior has
churned out 712 yards and
nine TDs on 146 carries.
Junior Josh Weltner (5-8,
150) is 33-for-41 on extra
point kicks and also has a
27-yards field goal to his
credit.
Oak Glen also has an
X-factor with senior wideout Jeff Hissam (5-9, 170).
The senior has 333 yards
and seven TDs on 20 receptions to go along with 140
rushing yards and a score
on nine totes. Hissam also
has four kick returns and
two punt returns for TDs, as
well as five interceptions.

NEW YORK (AP) Moments after his team lost
a day-night doubleheader
at Yankee Stadium in late
September, Joe Maddon
wandered into the Tampa
Bay clubhouse.
The twin defeats left
the Rays in a precarious
position with only a week
remaining in the regular
season. Rather than raise
his voice, Maddon delivered a simple message.
“You guys are great,”
Maddon recalled telling
them, “and I know you
can still do this.”
Eternally
optimistic,
Maddon won the AL Manager of the Year award
Wednesday. He certainly
clinched the honor in the
last month, when Tampa
Bay overcame a ninegame deficit and trumped
Boston for the wild-card
spot.
Kirk Gibson, meanwhile, took a more
stern approach starting
in spring training. He
even brought three Navy
SEALs to camp.
The SEALs wrote D,
W and I on a board. The
letters stood for a sense of
purpose, not a traffic offense: “Deal With It.”
“They bought into it,”
said Gibson, voted the NL
Manager of the Year after
the guiding the Arizona
Diamondbacks to a worstto-first finish.
Gibson was a clear
choice for guiding the
Diamondbacks to a runaway NL West title. A
former MVP as a roughand-tumble outfielder, he
was honored in his first
full season as a big league
manager.
“I certainly had a vision,” Gibson said during
a conference call while
on vacation in northern
Michigan, adding, “It’s
certainly not all because
of me.”
Maddon was an easy
pick in winning the AL
award for the second
time. The Rays made the
biggest September rally
in baseball history for a
team that claimed a playoff berth, sealing it on the
final day of the regular
season.
“I like to think of it as
a validation of the Rays’
way of doing things,”
Maddon said of the award

during a conference call
while visiting family and
friends in Hazleton, Pa.
Maddon led Tampa Bay
to the playoffs for the third
time in four years. After that, his name popped
up in speculation about
managerial openings with
Boston, the Chicago Cubs
and St. Louis. The Cardinals have already hired
Mike Matheny.
“I don’t want to have to
go anywhere else,” Maddon said.
The awards were announced by the Baseball
Writers’ Association of
America. The NL Cy
Young winner will be revealed Thursday, with
Clayton Kershaw of the
Los Angeles Dodgers the
leading candidate.
Gibson and the Diamondbacks went 94-68,
a year after he took over
in midseason as Arizona
went 65-97. Stressing
fundamentals and details
from the first day of camp,
the 54-year-old Gibson
pushed his team into the
playoffs, where it lost to
Milwaukee in the 10th inning of the deciding Game
5 in the opening round.
Gibson drew 28 of the
32 first-place votes and
got 152 points. He was
the only manager in either
league to be listed on every ballot.
Ron Roenicke of the
NL Central champion
Brewers was second with
three first-place votes and
92 points. Tony La Russa
of the World Series champion Cardinals was third
with the other first-place
vote and 24 points. Voting
was completed before the
start of the playoffs.
Maddon added to the
AL honor he won in 2008.
The 57-year-old manager
who likes to speak on a
vast array of subjects he
mentioned Mozart, his
iPad and a puppy on his
conference call never panicked during a trying year.
The Rays cut $30 million in payroll during the
winter, losing the likes
of Carl Crawford, Matt
Garza and Carlos Pena.
The Rays’ big addition,
slugger Manny Ramirez,
retired during the first
week instead of facing a
100-game suspension for
a second positive test for

Five of the eight Class
AA playoff games last week
resulted in losses for the
higher seeds, which did get
noticed by Darst and the
top-seeded Big Blacks.
However, with a 2-8
overall record in the playoffs and a chance to make
more school history Saturday in front of a capacity home crowd — don’t
expect Point Pleasant to be
overlooking Oak Glen.
“I don’t think we will
overlook anyone at this
point, especially given
our football history in the
playoffs,” Darst said. “Our
seniors have been here the
last three years and not won
a playoff game before last
week, so that is why I believe that our team’s focus
is truly where it needs to be.
We realize that we have to
take care of this one.”

afraid to make a mistake.
You can’t play that way.”
With his offense stuck
in a rut, Browns coach Pat
Shurmur, pulling double
duty as Cleveland’s offensive coordinator and play
caller in his first season,
expanded the playbook last
week against the Rams with
mostly positive results. The
Browns caught St. Louis
off guard with a wildcat
formation, two handoffs to
wide receivers and a nifty,
double-reverse pass for
21 yards from McCoy to
backup quarterback Seneca
Wallace.
However, the trick play
turned out to be illegal because of two forward passes.
On the play, wide reSports editor Paul Edgar
of the The Review in East ceiver Josh Cribbs was supLiverpool, Ohio, contrib- posed to hand the ball to
Wallace, but he flipped it touted to this report.
ward the line of scrimmage,
which would have been fine
except another pass was
thrown.
Shurmur said he knew
the play was illegal as it

happened. The Browns
were not penalized and the
Rams did not challenge the
ruling.
“The first exchange
(Cribbs to Wallace) was
practiced all week as a handoff. Three times,” Shurmur
said. “In the game, it got
flipped. That kind of stuff
happens all the time. I was
well aware what happened.
And, I know the rules.”
Shurmur also knows his
team needs to score to win,
but he didn’t have much of
an answer when asked how
the Browns can end their
touchdown drought.
“Score
touchdowns,”
Shurmur said, adding he
isn’t worried about the lack
of scoring killing his team’s
confidence. “I don’t worry
about that. You just keep
working to get better. These
guys don’t have a problem
with confidence. We’ve just
have to go out and get it
done.”
Last week, the Browns
made four trips inside the
red zone, but only got as

close as the 4-yard line.
That’s when they lined up
for Dawson’s 22-yard field
goal attempt he missed after a botched snap threw off
his timing and St. Louis defensive lineman James Hall
penetrated the middle to deflect it wide.
The Browns realize they
can’t always count on the reliable Dawson to save them
every week, not with the
wind and weather turning
November and December
kicks into adventures. They
need to get into the end
zone and score touchdowns,
which seems simplistic but
has been anything but easy.
“I’m surprised,” Watson
said. “We play offense to
score points. We’re all disappointed with ourselves.
We’re disappointed we’re
not putting points on the
board to help our defense
and to win. It feels great to
move the ball down field,
but at the end of the day,
it’s about putting points on
the board. Do we want to
change that? Yes.
“We all have questions
why and we’re working on
solutions, but I don’t have
them right now.”

Gibson, Maddon win Managers
of Year; La Russa 3rd
Nebraska’s rise to prominence
started at Big House
a performance-enhancing
substance.
The Rays overcame an
0-6 start and injuries to
star Evan Longoria and
others, relying on a pitching staff anchored by AllStars James Shields and
David Price and recently
picked AL Rookie of the
Year Jeremy Hellickson.
Tampa Bay won its final five games, rallying
from a 7-0 deficit against
the Yankees on the last
day to finish 91-71 and
earn a playoff spot. The
Rays lost to Texas in the
first round.
“My goal has been to
make the Rays into the
next century’s Yankees,
Red Sox, Cardinals,” he
said.
Maddon drew 26 of
28 first-place votes and
had 133 points. Jim Leyland of the AL Central
champion Detroit Tigers
got the other pair of firstplace votes and 54 points
and Ron Washington of
the AL champion Rangers
was third with 31.
Gibson was a two-time
World Series champion,
winning with Detroit and
the Dodgers. He was the
fourth former MVP to win
the manager award, joining Joe Torre, Frank Robinson and Don Baylor.
Gibson hit two especially memorable home
runs during his 17-year
career. He connected for
the shot that clinched the
1984 crown for the Tigers in Game 5 against
San Diego, and launched
a
bottom-of-the-ninth,
pinch-hit homer off Dennis Eckersley to lift the
Dodgers over Oakland in
the 1988 opener, hobbling
around the bases and
pumping his arm.
As a player, Gibson acknowledged he sometimes
was “a little emotional …
a little stupid.”
“As a manager, you
can’t lose your composure,” he said.
Gibson and Bob Melvin (2007) have won the
manager award with Arizona. Gibson received a
three-year contract extension after the season,
with options for two more
years.
“I still want to win a
World Series as a manager,” he said.

Venus to make comeback
against Serena in Colombia
MILAN (AP) Venus Williams will
make her comeback in an exhibition match
against her sister Serena in Colombia on
Wednesday, two months after pulling out of
the U.S. Open because of an immune system disease.
Venus told Thursday’s Gazzetta dello
Sport that she has changed her diet to increase vegetables after being diagnosed
with Sjogren’s syndrome, which can cause
fatigue and joint pain.
After playing Serena in Medellin next
week, Venus will join her sister against Italians Francesca Schiavone and Flavia Pennetta in another exhibition match Dec. 3 in
Milan.
Serena also hasn’t played since losing to
Samantha Stosur in the U.S. Open final in
September.
“I did a lot of medical therapy and a serious evaluation of my diet to understand
which foods help control the symptoms

better,” Venus Williams told the Gazzetta,
which is sponsoring the Milan exhibition.
“And that’s why I’ve completely
changed my diet and filled it with a lot of
vegetables. In the meantime, I’ve continued to keep myself fit with tennis and in the
gym. I’m very confident in my progress.”
Venus’ ranking has fallen to No. 103
because of injuries. She is planning to return to the WTA Tour in January at the ASB
Classic in Auckland, New Zealand.
“The London Olympics are a big goal,”
the five-time Wimbledon champion said. “I
would like to continue playing at my best
level. I love tennis and the racket seems like
it was made explicitly for my hand.
“Within the next 12 months, I’m expecting to get back to the top of the rankings in
singles and doubles. I want to play all year
long. I’ve still got a lot of work to do but it
doesn’t scare me I’m used to it.”

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP)
It’s been almost a half century since Nebraska’s last
visit to Michigan Stadium,
the place where one of the
most powerful college football programs of the modern era emerged.
Bob Devaney earned his
first signature victory on
that sunny September afternoon in 1962, upsetting the
Wolverines 25-13 in what
was supposed to be, according to the Detroit Free Press,
an “opening-day breather”
for the home team.
The rest is history.
The 17th-ranked Huskers (8-2, 4-2 Big Ten) go
into Saturday’s game at No.
20 Michigan (8-2, 4-2) with
479 wins since 1962, an average of better than nine a
year.
The next-highest victory
total among major-college
teams over that span is 438,
by Oklahoma. Michigan is
sixth on the win list since
‘62, with 419, but its total of
892 is the most of all time.
Games between Nebraska and Michigan have been
few and far between. Now
that both are members of
the Big Ten’s Legends Division, they’ll play annually.
Their most recent meetings:
Nebraska’s 32-28 win in
the 2005 Alamo Bowl and
Michigan’s 27-23 win in the
1986 Fiesta Bowl.
Before that came the
1962 game in Ann Arbor on
the day Nebraska showed a

glimpse of its future.
“We knew it was a big
game, but we didn’t know
how big a game until we
looked at it later in the season and realized it was the
game that put Nebraska
back on the map,” said
Dwain Carlson, a lineman and team co-captain.
“It was the beginning of, I
guess, the success story that
later on was written about
Nebraska.”
Devaney began pointing
toward the Michigan game
the day he was hired to replace Bill Jennings. Devaney grew up in Michigan
and coached under Duffy
Daugherty at Michigan
State. He knew it would not
go unnoticed if a team from
the Big Eight, which had
Oklahoma and little else
to brag about at the time,
could knock off a Big Ten
team like Michigan.
Devaney also knew the
Wolverines, though favored
by 10 points, were vulnerable because of heavy graduation losses.
“The Big Ten and Notre
Dame were the two brands
in college football (then),”
said Nebraska football historian Mike Babcock, who
has authored 10 books on
the Huskers. “According to
Bob, they had picked that
game out as one where if we
can go up to Michigan and
win that game, it will draw
attention to the program and
it’ll also give the players

confidence.”
There was a crisis of
confidence at Nebraska entering the ‘62 season. Jennings had left ample talent
in Lincoln, but the Huskers
hadn’t posted a winning record in eight years.
They opened the season
with a 53-0 rout of overmatched South Dakota. The
trip to Michigan was next.
All-America
fullback
Bill “Thunder” Thornton’s
status for the game was in
doubt because of a dislocated shoulder, but he came
on in the second half and
scored two touchdowns.
Dennis Stuewe ran for a
team-high 60 yards and a
touchdown. The defense
held Michigan star Dave
Raimey to 59 yards.
Bob Brown dominated
on both sides of the ball as a
right guard and middle linebacker. The Huskers loved
to run sweeps to the short
side of the field, with Brown
pulling from his guard spot
and knocking down anyone
in his way.
Reported the Free Press:
“An itinerant band of Cornhuskers paid their first visit
to Michigan in 45 years,
looking for work. They
found a fertile field, ready
for shucking. And, man,
how they shucked it.”
According to the Detroit
News, “The Cornhuskers
of Nebraska chugged along
like a well-oiled threshing
machine.”

CHAPEL HILL, N.C.
(AP) In a sport where coaches are always searching for
bigger, stronger, faster players, undersized runners are
thriving in the Atlantic Coast
Conference with their bigplay potential this season.
Running backs like North
Carolina’s Giovani Bernard,
Clemson’s Andre Ellington,
Virginia’s Perry Jones and
Kevin Parks, and Maryland’s Davin Meggett all
rank among the league’s top
rushers while standing 5 feet,
10 inches or shorter. They’re
versatile enough to line up in
the backfield, split out wide
or catch the ball in open
space to create mismatches
against slower defenders.
With their compact
frames, they can hide behind
offensive linemen until reappearing suddenly through an
open lane or run low enough
to maintain balance while
bouncing off a hit.
“It’s definitely an advantage,” said Bernard, the first
UNC player to run for 1,000
yards in 14 years. “Each size
has its own advantage. I just
use that as mine.”
A year ago, running backs
like Georgia Tech’s Anthony
Allen (239 pounds), Miami’s
Damien Berry (217), Virginia’s Keith Payne (255),
Virginia Tech’s Darren Evans (223) and Clemson’s Jamie Harper (230) all ranked
among the league’s top 10
rushers. Four of those runners stood at least 6 feet tall
and the average weight of the
top-10 running backs was
216 pounds.

This season, only one
of the nine running backs
listed among the league’s
top rushers stands at 6 feet
while the average weight of
those backs is 198. The biggest guy in that group is Miami’s Lamar Miller, a 5-11,
212-pound sophomore who
is second with 110.8 yards
rushing per game.
Virginia Tech’s David
Wilson leads the league
in rushing with 136 yards
per game at 5-10 and 201
pounds. Bernard is third in
the ACC with 101 yards
and is listed at 5-10 and 205
pounds, though he says he’s
really closer to 5-8.
Then comes Ellington
(5-10, 190), Jones (5-8,
185) and Meggett a 5-9,
215-pound back described
by Terps quarterback C.J.
Brown as “a bowling ball
back there.”
Outside the league leaders, Florida State’s Devonta
Freeman (5-8, 200) and
Wake Forest’s Brandon Pendergrass (5-9, 200) each lead
their teams in rushing yardage.
While coaches would
love to have a big power
back with breakaway speed,
Clemson coach Dabo Swinney said he’s focused on taking advantage of every available weapon.
“I just want the best
player,” Swinney said. “I
want someone who when we
hand it to him, he stretches
the field, breaks tackles,
catches the ball. They come
in all shapes and sizes. …
I think you have to have a

combination, guys that bring
different flavors like BaskinRobbins.”
North Carolina interim
coach Everett Withers was
the Tar Heels’ defensive
coordinator while his team
faced all five of the top-rushing bigger backs in 2010.
He said the versatility of the
smaller backs have made
them more valuable in passfriendly schemes.
“That’s became a big factor in college athletics: how
many ways you can get explosive plays,” Withers said.
“You’re starting to see a little
bit more of the smaller receivers in the slots now because they’re able to get the
ball and run after the catch.
It’s the same thing with the
running backs, (finding) a
guy that can miss a tackler in
space and go not only 10, but
go 20 or 30 (yards).”
They’ve all done that.
Bernard has two touchdowns
of at least 55 yards. Ellington
has three touchdown runs of
at least 35 yards, including
a 74-yarder. Jones has a 47yard rushing touchdown and
a 78-yard receiving score.
Three of Parks’ touchdowns
have been at least 19 yards,
while Meggett has a 20-yard
TD run.
To listen to Parks, it’s
about more than just speed.
“I think we get lost,”
Parks said. Defenders “look
in the backfield and they
see us, and then they don’t
and then they see us again.
It’s kind of like a little hideand-seek game sometimes to
them.”

COLUMBUS – Anyone
who believes in bad omens
might have sensed that the
breaks weren’t going to
bounce Ohio State’s way
long before it 26-23 loss to
Purdue on Saturday went
to overtime.
On the game’s opening
kickoff, the ball bounced
off Carlos Hyde in the
end zone, erasing any
possibility of an OSU
return.
Then two plays later,
Braxton Miller’s ﬁrst
pass of the game bounced
off the hands of both
T.Y. Williams and Jake
Stoneburner before falling
to the ground for an
incompletion.
Ohio State (6-4, 3-3 Big
Ten) will try to rebound
from that loss in its ﬁnal
home game of the season
when Penn State (8-2, 5-1
Big Ten) comes to Ohio
Stadium at 3:30 p.m. this
Saturday.
Penn State, a 17-14 loser
to Nebraska on Saturday,
went through one of the
most tumultuous weeks
ever in college football last
week.
Coaching legend Joe
Paterno was ﬁred and the
Nittany Lions’ reputation
as one of the most respected
programs in the country,
along with the university’s
reputation, was tarnished
by allegations of sexual
abuse by former defensive
coordinator
Jerry
Sandusky.
Nebraska jumped out to a
17-0 lead before Penn State
fought back to score twice
in the second half and had
the ball near midﬁeld when
the game ended.
Penn State is still is on top
of the Big Ten’s Leaders

Division, one game ahead
of Wisconsin. So the
Nittany Lions have a lot
more to play for than just
restoring their reputation.
Ohio State’s goals
will have to be adjusted
after its chances to win
the Leaders Division and
play in the ﬁrst Big Ten
championship game were
all but vaporized in the
shocking ending of its loss
at Purdue.
“We’ve just got to win
the rest of them. That’s
our mentality,” offensive
lineman Jake Mewhort said
after the loss at Purdue.
“We’re not going to work
any less, we’re not going
to give any less effort.”
Effort has never been in
question, but as Saturday’s
loss showed, Ohio State is
thinner in both talent and

On the other hand,
during Saturday’s game,
linebacker Andrew Sweat
had to leave with a head
injury in the ﬁrst half and
his replacement Ryan
Shazier was one of the
standouts of the game with
seven tackles
and OSU’s only sack.
Penn State leads the Big
Ten in scoring defense at
12.9 points a game but is
eleventh in scoring at 21.0
points a game.
Tailback Silas Redd
(1,059 yards) leads the
offense. Quarterback Rob
Bolden (1,386 yards, 7
touchdowns) gets most of
the playing time, but Rob
Bolden (526 yards, 1 TD)
also plays.
