The council approved the renewal of the fire protection 1 mill levy and the fire protection 3 mill levy. Tim King inquired from the council COLUMBUS — A company which applied for a medical marijuana cultivation license for a proposed facility in Racine and was ultimately not awarded one, is filing an appeal. As previously reported, an application from Ohio Therapeutics LLC for a facility in Meigs County was one of those which was not awarded a license. According to the Associated Press, Cleveland.com reports more than 60 companies have filed appeals after the state rejected their applications for medical marijuana cultivation licenses. According to a listing of scores from the Department of Commerce, the application for the Ohio Therapeutics’ facility, which was to be located in Racine, received a score of 147.64. Harvest Grows LLC, with potential sites in Lawrence County and Cuyahoga County, was awarded one of the licenses with a score of 142.04. There were 20 applicants with a score equal or greater to that of the Ohio Therapeutics application, with 11 of those being awarded licenses. On Tuesday, Brian McDonald, CFO for Ohio Therapeutics LLC, told The Daily Sentinel: “Despite placing 21st of 109 applicants in state scoring for Cultivator Level 1 licensing this past December, Ohio Therapeutics continues to believe its plan to bring jobs and economic opportunity to Meigs County is a viable one. Additionally, we believe that the Ohio Therapeutics team of entrepreneurs and operators represents the best in breed in this space, and is the team to execute this plan in Meigs County. As such, we have requested a hearing date with the state at which time we may choose to have our scoring reviewed. Ohio Therapeutics, along with at least 47 other Level 1 applicants, is pursuing this recourse through the state. We expect to learn our hearing date in the next several months.” Cleveland.com further reports 47 companies that applied for a large grow-license and 16 for a small-grow license have thus far filed appeals with the Ohio Department of Commerce. Those numbers could grow because rejected applicants had 30 days to appeal after being notified by the state. A total of 185 applications were submitted. The state agency in November issued 24 provisional licenses, including 12 for growing operations of up to 25,000 square feet (2,323 See BALLOT | 5 See GROW | 3 Photos by Jeff Bissell | Courtesy Auto students together on a vehicle repair.

POMEROY — Nora Mae Riggs Eason, of Pomeroy, went home to the Lord and loved ones who passed before her when she left us on Saturday, January 20, 2018, in her home. She was surrounded by her loving family all to whom she totally devoted herself and who also loved her dearly and faithfully. She exemplified love, care and concern of others throughout her life. Nora was born on October 15, 1932 to Gladys Pauline Morgan Riggs and Perry A. Riggs in Pomeroy, Ohio. Nora grew up in the Flatwoods Community on the family farm with her sister Joan Riggs Johnson, now of Atlanta, Georgia. Nora attended Chester Elementary and Pomeroy High School, graduating in the PHS Class of 1950. After high school she attended the Holzer School of Nursing and earned her Registered Nurse License, which she maintained for many decades. Nora met Robert Hayes Eason while attending nursing school and they married on July 4, 1953. Nora utilized her nursing training in raising her four children. She was a very skilled nurse and she used those skills while being completely dedicated and taking special care of their oldest daughter, Angela Lee Eason, who had severe Cerebral Palsy. Angela, who was not expected to live after her birth, survived and enjoyed life for 43 years, due to the extraordinary care and dedication of Nora and Bob. Nora made sure Angela was given every opportunity to not only survive, but thrive as an active part of the family, attending church, community events and all her siblings’ sports and music activities through the years. Nora also had a special place in her heart and worked hard throughout her lifetime for special needs children and adults. She did this through her dedication to the development and continuation of what is now known at Carlton School and Meigs Industries, her work for United Cerebral Palsy and the Center for Human Development at Ohio University. Additionally, long after Nora retired and after Angela passed away, Nora and Bob dedicated land in the Chester, Ohio area for a ball park and community recreation area, known as the Angela Eason Memorial Park. She took great pleasure in seeing dedicated community members come together and make the Angela Eason Memorial Park operational for the youth in our community. Nora is survived by her three children, Robert R. (Beverly) Eason, Linda R. (Jeff) Warner, and Hubert (Susan) Eason; 4 grandchildren, Amanda Eason, Robert Jay (Jessica Cleland) Warner, David Warner, and Bostic Eason and her sister, Joan Riggs (Marty) Johnson, Nieces, Marta L. Johnson (Van) Sliger and Paula Johnson (Ed) Hampton, great nieces and nephews, cousins and wonderful group of friends. In addition to her parents Nora was predeceased by her husband of 49-1/2 years, her very dear daughter, Angela Lee Eason and a special nephew Mark Johnson.

But many such shootings across the nation have happened in rural communities. Marshall County High School is about 30 minutes from Heath High School in Paducah, Kentucky, where a 1997 mass shooting killed three and injured five. Michael Carneal, then 14, opened fire there about two years before the fatal attack at Columbine High School in Colorado, ushering in an era when mass school shootings have become much more common. Meanwhile, in the small North Texas town of Italy, a 15-year-old girl was recovering Tuesday after police said she was shot by a 16-year-old classmate in her high school cafeteria on Monday, sending dozens of students scrambling for safety. Police in Louisiana, meanwhile, are investigating shots fired as students gathered outside their charter school. “It’s horrifying that we can no longer call school shootings ‘unimaginable’ because the reality is they happen with alarming frequency,” said former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, who survived being shot in the head in 2011. She called on Congress to strengthen gun laws. Tuesday’s shooting, moments before classes would have begun, disrupted some happy moments in the “commons” area of Marshall County High. Sixteenyear-old Lexie Waymon said she and a friend were talking about the next basketball game, makeup and eyelashes when gunshots pierced the air. “I blacked out. I couldn’t move. I got up and I tried to run, but I fell. I heard someone hit the ground. It was so close to me,” Waymon said. “I just heard it and then I just, everything was black for a good minute. Like, I could not see anything. I just froze and did not know what to do. Then I got up and I ran.” Her friend, Baleigh Culp, told the AP in a Facebook message that they were joking and laughing until they heard a loud bang that sounded like someone’s books hitting the floor. “That’s what i expected it to be, until i saw a body drop on the ground,” Culp wrote. “There was bullets flying everywhere. I ran straight out the door and headed to the highway as fast as i could.” Waymon did not stop running either, not even when she called her mom to tell her what happened. She made it to the McDonald’s, her chest hurting, struggling to breathe. “All I could keep thinking was, ‘I can’t believe this is happening. I cannot believe this is happening,’” she said.

No big city has as many opioid deaths per capita as this city. About 1,200 Philadelphians died of a drug overdose last year. That was a 30 percent jump over 2016; more are expected in 2018. The city estimates that 140,000 residents are addicts but only 10 percent of them are in treatment. Officials worry that more people could become addicts because about a third of the city’s adults have been prescribed highly addictive painkillers in the last year, according to the city’s health commissioner, Thomas Farley. Add to that the thousands of addicts from around the region who come to the city to buy drugs and inevitably overdose. The city didn’t make this mess, and it shouldn’t have to clean it up alone. The cost in human suffering and the millions of tax dollars Philadelphia has spent fighting this epidemic are compelling reasons the city this week rightly joined the growing list of communities suing five drug manufacturers — including Allergan/ Actavis; Cephalon and Teva; Endo; Janssen and Johnson & Johnson; and Purdue — for their roles in the crisis. Very significantly, the city is not just seeking monetary damages but also is seeking to stop the companies’ aggressive marketing of drugs. This lawsuit may seem long overdue, but consider that this crisis knocked communities off their feet and they are only now getting up and fighting the root causes. For decades, drug companies used misleading pitches — on the drugs’ safety and dosages — to persuade physicians to prescribe painkillers for managing even minor back pain. They downplayed the drugs’ addictive properties. Famously, some cited the well-regarded New England Journal of Medicine as proof that opioids weren’t dangerous. But the magazine only published a letter to the editor decades ago that said there were few hospital inpatient cases of addiction. It wasn’t a full study or article, which would have required real research, fact-checking and perspective. For the record: Opioids are highly addictive. According to a real study, published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention last March, one out of five people prescribed opioids for over 10 days is susceptible to addiction. This is a deadly problem that starts but is not limited to prescription drugs; when access to those drugs is no longer possible, many turn to street drugs, including heroin. Communities have put enormous stress on their resources to deal with the consequences. Philadelphia treats roughly 14,000 addicts a year. There aren’t enough ambulances to take dying addicts to hospitals, so Fire Department equipment is used. In just one year, Philadelphia spent $370,000 to administer naloxone, the lifesaving opioid antidote, to 10,000 addicts. The cost of fighting drug-related crimes is up to $40 million a year when factoring in costs for the police, the district attorney, public defender, the courts and prisons. Drug companies have to help pay for the problem they played such a major role in creating. They’re not alone, of course. The doctors who didn’t bother to check out the research and overprescribed these dangerous substances should pay, too. But the victims, their loved ones, and the taxpayers have already paid enough.

THEIR VIEW You’re risking death by not doing this This editorial recently appeared in The Sacramento Bee: Every year, public health officials urge Americans to get a flu shot. And every year, millions of Americans come up with excuses not to do it. I never get sick. The vaccine isn’t 100 percent effective. Since lots of others are getting a shot, I’m protected so I don’t need it, too. While not exactly wise, these excuses could fly in other years. But not this flu season — and certainly not in California. On Friday, state health officials reported that 74 people younger than 65 have died of influenza since October, up from 42 people in just one week. A year ago, the death toll was a mere 14, a testament to the threat posed by the H3N2 strain of Influenza A that has been going around this year. The flu is so deadly this year that it has claimed the lives of physically fit people all over the country. Katie Oxley Thomas, a 40-year-old marathon runner and mother from San Jose, died within days of being diagnosed with the flu, as did Kyler Baughman, a 21-year-old bodybuilder from Pittsburgh. Nico Mallozzi, a 10-year-old from Connecticut, was diagnosed with the flu while traveling with his hockey team in western New York. He died on his way back home. So many people are so sick and so scared that hospitals in Southern California are running out of nurses and doctors to treat them. In the East Bay, the antiviral medica- tion Tamiflu is in short supply. There’s also a growing shortage of beds and space for patients to wait and get medical care. Some hospitals have had no choice but to put up tents in parking lots to create makeshift triage centers. Others have cleared out old storage rooms and turned them into emergency rooms. In Santa Cruz, one hospital has enacted visitor restrictions not seen since the days of the H1N1 “swine flu” pandemic in 2009. Those of us in Sacramento have been lucky. The flu hasn’t hit here with the same force. But hospitals are wisely preparing for the worst. J. Douglas Kirk, the chief medical officer at UC Davis Medical Center, told The Bee on Friday: “We have identified and are creating a space that is adjacent to our emergency department where we will create a flu treatment center.” The plan is to open it on Wednesday. It’s important to remember that we still haven’t reached peak flu season, and so some public health officials believe the worst is yet to come. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that, for the first year in more than a decade, every state except for Hawaii is grappling with an outbreak. Admittedly, this year’s vaccine is, at best, 30 percent effective. But even if it doesn’t stop you from getting the flu, it can lessen the severity and length of the illness. So if you’re still waiting to get a flu shot, don’t. For everyone’s sake, including your own, go. No more excuses. TODAY IN HISTORY Today is Wednesday, Jan. 24, the 24th day of 2018.

Horned Frogs upset WVU, 82-73 FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — This was the kind of homecourt celebration Jamie Dixon envisioned for TCU when he returned to his alma mater less than two years ago. Students spilled onto the court, some even lifting Dixon into the air, after the Horned Frogs beat No. 7 West Virginia 82-73 on Monday night. Their first home win over a Top 10 team in nearly five years came on the same day they dropped out of the AP Top 25. “We had lost so many of these, so many opportunities, close games, even the last two years, home games, big crowd, atmosphere,” Dixon said. “We’ve had leads, and we had opportunity, and it just didn’t happen for whatever reason.” Alex Robinson scored 17 points for TCU (15-5, 3-5 Big 12), even with a long 3-pointer at the end of the half taken away by video replay. Desmond Bane scored eight of his 15 points in just over a minute early in the second half to cap a game-changing 23-3 run that spanned the end of the first half and first few minutes after the break. “We just knew this was a big Locals From page 6 with 119.5 points. River Valley (49.5) and Wahama (47) finished 26th and 28th, respectively. St. Joseph Academy won the team title with four weight class champions and a final tally of 246 points.

The OVP area had zero grapplers compete in a divisional championship, but all three programs came away with at least one top-six game. We lost the last one, we didn’t play very well,” said Robinson, who also had nine assists and seven rebounds. All five West Virginia starters scored in double figures, but the Mountaineers (16-4, 5-3) shot only 33 percent and lost for the third time in four games. Jevon Carter had a team-high 16 points, while Sagaba Konate had 14, Daxter Miles Jr. 12, Lamont West 11 and Wesley Harris 10. “First half, we stopped them seven consecutive times and we didn’t score,” coach Bob Huggins said. “It wasn’t like we didn’t have shots. We had shots. We’re just not making any.” Kouat Noi had 13 points with three 3-pointers for TCU before being ejected because of a flagrant foul with just over 10 minutes left. Vladimir Brodziansky had 14 points, and Kenrich Williams had 14 rebounds. Bane’s quick burst, with two 3-pointers and a heady layup between those long-range shots, pushed TCU ahead 47-34 with 15:28 left. That capped a 12-1 run to start the second half after the Frogs finished the first half on an 11-2 spurt in which Bane made the go-ahead shot. effort. The Big Blacks had six wrestlers finish in the top-eight, with Justin Cornell leading the way with a third place finish at 106 pounds. Cornell went 7-1 overall and had both a pinfall win and a technical fall. George Smith was fourth at 120 pounds with a 4-2 record, while Christopher Smith ended up fifth at 106 pounds with a 5-2 mark and two pinfall wins. Christopher Smith also handed Cornell his lone setback, a 4-1 decision, in the winner’s bracket quarterfinals. Wyatt Wilson was sixth at 138 pounds, And that is even with Robinson’s long 3 going into the break getting taken off the board after officials determined the ball was still on Robinson’s fingertips when the clock hit zero, negating the 35-foot shot and leaving the Frogs’ lead at two instead of five. Robinson and his teammates were already in the locker room when the review took place, and found out it didn’t count “when coach came in and told us.” The Mountaineers trailed by 20 with 5 1/2 minutes left and made somewhat of a dent in that. But overall, WVU made only 25 of 75 shots — and 7 of 27 on 3-pointers, with Carter going 0 for 6 and Miles 1 for 8 from long range. “We’ve got guys that are 2 for their last 15 on 3s, and they’re still shooting them,” Huggins said. Slamming ahead Bane’s two-handed slam dunk with 1:15 left in the first half broke a 31-all tie and put TCU ahead to stay. He then made a putback when JD Miller couldn’t convert on an alley-oop pass from Robinson, but the ball went right into Bane’s hands. which included a 4-3 mark and a pinfall win. Mitchell Freeman went 4-2 and finished seventh at 126 pounds, while Juan Marquez was eighth at 195 pounds with a 3-3 record. The Raiders and White Falcons actaully met one another in the fifth place match of the 120-pound division. WHS also owned a slim half-point lead (47-46.5) headed into that final bout for each program. Jacob Edwards ended up defeating Ethan VanMatre by an 8-0 count to earn fifth place while also catapulting RVHS ahead in the final standing. Edwards went 4-2 overall with a pinfall win, while VanMatre ended up sixth with a 3-3 mark and two pinfalls. Ripley and John Hardin followed SJA with two weight class champions apiece. St. Albans, East Fairmont, Independence, Huntington, Petersburg and Spring Valley also came away with a single divisional champion.

Frustrated by their recent poor play in a season when their NBA title hopes seem to be slipping away, the Cavaliers held an emotional pre-practice meeting on Monday in hopes of clearing the air. They’ve lost 10 of 14 and dropped to third in the Eastern Conference behind Boston and Toronto. With an embarrassing defeat to Oklahoma City on national TV still lingering, the Cavs decided it was time to address their troubled state before leaving for Tuesday’s game at San Antonio. “We aired any griev- ances we had and we’re going to move forward,” said center Kevin Love, who regretted that the meeting was leaked publicly. “Hopefully we’ll be better for it, we have been in the past.” Chaos is nothing new for the Cavaliers, who have had similar blowups in recent years yet managed to overcome any differences and went to the Finals the past three years. Love has been in the middle of controversy before, and after he missed two days with an illness, it was presumed he was involved in Monday’s discussion. “Did I feel like a target?” he said at Tuesday’s shootaround. “I think everybody, most people, were a target. We’re try- work hard and try to do best for the Cavs. That’s all I can do tonight and moving forward these last 35, 40 games and overall just try to help this team.” While Love wants to move on from the team’s latest turbulence, there may be some unresolved issues. When the team arrived at San Antonio’s AT&T Center, Love was the first player off the bus and he walked into the Tony Dejak | AP Cleveland Cavaliers’ LeBron James dunks the ball against the arena by himself wearing headphones and carrying Oklahoma City Thunder in the first half Saturday in Cleveland. a coffee cup.

We’ve been able to thrive under a certain amount of chaos at some points. The good thing about us is we’ve got better throughout the course of seasons and we’ve peaked at the right time. We’re hoping that it’s not any different.” LeBron James refused to address the meeting, saying “I don’t want to talk about it” three times. James enters the matchup with the Spurs needing seven points to become the seventh player in league history with 30,000. Mike Vrabel named Tennessee Titans coach as their new coach Monday. They agreed to terms with Vrabel on Saturday , just five days after firing Mike Mularkey coming off the franchise’s first playoff win in 14 years. This is the first head coaching job for Vrabel, 42. Titans controlling owner Amy Adams Strunk noted Robinson and Vrabel have known each other for years. She also likes Vrabel’s experience and vision for building on back-toback 9-7 seasons. “I believe he will do everything he can to bring this town a championship,” Strunk said. Vrabel is coming off his first season as defensive coordinator for the Texans. Vrabel started his NFL career in Pittsburgh under coach Bill Cowher before signing with New England under coach Bill Belichick, and he finished in Kansas City. In 2011, he joined the staff at his alma mater, Ohio State, coach- ing linebackers and then defensive linemen. He said nobody’s ever really ready to be a head coach for the first time in the NFL, though Vrabel feels as ready as he can be thanks to his doctorate degree in coaching he picked up working with some of the best in the game. “There will be things that I take from New England, from Pittsburgh, from Ohio State, from Houston,” Vrabel said. “I mean there will be things that I take from everywhere. You draw on these experiences just like everybody else would in life … The nice thing is now there’s things that I didn’t like that Billy did, I get to change them. So there’s things I like that he did, I get to use them.” Vrabel went to Houston in 2014 and coached linebackers with the Texans for three seasons before becoming coordinator. The Texans won the AFC South in 2015 and 2016 thanks in part to strong defenses. The unit slipped this season amid injuries to players including J.J. Watt and Whitney Mercilus. Building on the Titans’ playoff win in Kansas City means putting Marcus Mariota in position to blossom. Whoever Vrabel hires as his offensive coordinator will be Mariota’s third going into his fourth NFL season, and Ohio State cooffensive coordinator Ryan Day reportedly is the early favorite for the job in Tennessee. “I think Amy’s going to trust me to hire the right guy for Marcus,” Vrabel said. “Jon’s going to trust me to hire the right guy for Marcus or I wouldn’t have been hired.” And Vrabel made it very clear he knows the potential for Mariota, the 2014 Heisman Trophy winner and No. 2 pick overall in 2015. He recalled Mariota pulling a hamstring MERCHANDISE PUBLIC NOTICE Apartments/Townhouses Want To Buy $600 FREE RENT Ellm View Apts. Rent: $425 & Up Includes: AC, W/D hook up & much more.

This was Robinson’s first head coaching search since being hired in January 2016, two days before the Titans took the interim tag off Mularkey. The Titans went 21-22 with Mularkey taking a team that had the NFL’s worst record at 5-27 combined over 2014 and 2015 to a team that lost in the AFC divisional round to New England. Mularkey was fired less than 48 hours after that loss. The Titans interviewed only three people with Vrabel first to meet with them Thursday. The Titans also interviewed Carolina defensive coordinator Steve Wilks and Los Angeles Rams offensive coordinator Matt LaFleur .

Main Street, Pomeroy, Ohio 45769 OH-70026316 NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Tennessee general manager Jon Robinson got his NFL start as a scout with the New England Patriots, the same team his new head coach Mike Vrabel won three Super Bowl rings as a linebacker. Yes, it seems like the Titans are trying to implement the Patriot Way in Music City. Vrabel said that’s what it looks like — until the Titans win big themselves. “You have to be able to win championships before people start giving you ways to do things,” Vrabel said Monday. “So that’ll be our ultimate goal. … Until we can win a championship doing that, there’s not going to be this Titan Way.

Pats, Eagles square off in Super Bowl 52 By Arnie Stapleton Associated Press Tom Brady and the New England Patriots are going back to the Super Bowl in search of a sixth title. They’ll face a Philadelphia Eagles team looking for their first Lombardi Trophy. Brady led the Patriots (15-3) back from a 10-point, fourth-quarter deficit to beat the Jacksonville Jaguars 24-20 in the AFC championship game Sunday. Starting his 36th playoff game, Brady shook off an injury to his right hand and the loss of top target Rob Gronkowski to rally the Patriots to their record 10th Super Bowl appearance. The Patriots will try to match the Pittsburgh Steelers’ six Super Bowl trophies when they face the Eagles (15-3) on Feb. 4 in Minneapolis. Nick Foles, the backup QB who was thrust into the starting role when Carson Wentz blew out his left knee last month, led the Philadelphia to a 38-7 rout of the Minnesota Vikings in the NFC championship game. Foles threw for 352 yards and three touchdowns, showing poise and moxie in going 26 for 33. The Vikings were hoping to become the first NFL team to serve as host to a Super Bowl in its own stadium, but they followed up their “Minneapolis Miracle ” with a “Flop in Philly.” So, they’ll clear out their lockers long before the Eagles and Patriots and their fans take over U.S. Bank Stadium for Super Bowl 52 in two weeks. Oddsmakers like the chances of Brady winning a sixth Super Bowl ring , making the Patriots nearly a touchdown favorite to beat the Eagles. The Patriots and Eagles, who last won an NFL title in 1960, several years before the first Super Bowl, met in the Super Bowl after the 2004 season with the Patriots prevailing 24-21. Hours after Brady’s game-winning 4-yard TD pass to Danny Amendola with 2:48 remaining in Foxborough, the Eagles won for the fourth time in five tries under Foles. It started out ominously, however. The Vikings celebrated Kyle Rudolph’s 25-yard touchdown catch from Case Keenum on their opening drive by mimicking the Olympic sport of curling for their TD celebration. It was the Eagles who had all the fun after that. Patrick Robinson’s spectacular 50-yard interception return got Philadelphia started. Then Foles and his offense tore up the league’s stingiest scoring defense, with long TD throws to Alshon Jeffery and Torrey Smith. LeGarrette Blount had an 11-yard scoring run when things were decided in the first half, and the Eagles were headed to an NFL title game the Vikings (14-4) hoped to be in at their own stadium. “You know everyone was against us,” Foles said. “Coming out here and stick together and (we) come away with an amazing victory against a great team.” Blake Bortles and the stingy Jaguars (12-7) led New England 20-10 early in the fourth quarter, but couldn’t hold against the defending champions. The NFL’s second-ranked defense kept Brady and the Patriots at bay for most of the game, but lost linebacker Myles Jack and defensive tackle Marcell Dareus on consecutive plays on New England’s winning drive. It was New England’s 13th win in 14 games since their 2-2 start. Their only stumble since September was a 27-20 loss at the Dolphins on Dec. 11. Brady, wearing a black bandage on his right hand after needing stitches to close a cut that happened on a play during practice earlier in the week, showed no signs of being hampered. And, with the game — and the season — possibly on the line, the Patriots star came up big again. “I’ve had a lot worse,” Brady said. “I didn’t know that on Wednesday. It was a crazy injury. Wednesday, Thursday, Friday was a little scary. Then I started getting some confidence and today we did just enough to win.” Brady finished 26 of 38 for 290 yards and two touchdowns to Amendola. It’s the eighth Super Bowl appearance for Brady and coach Bill Belichick, who have won five times — including last year’s 34-28 overtime rally against the Falcons. “It’s pretty amazing,” Brady said. “Just to be on a team that wins these kinds of games, it’s just a great accomplishment.” Courtesy photo Rio Grande’s Jasmine Smith gets off a shot around Alice Lloyd’s Alex Clifton during Sunday afternoon’s game at the Newt Oliver Arena.

Holden, Smith and Payne also had two blocked shots each and freshman Chyna Chambers (Columbus, OH) had a game-high four steals. Clifton had 16 points and nine rebounds to lead Alice Lloyd, while Haley Hall had 16 points of her own and Kayla Wilson finished with 15 points, seven rebounds, five assists and four steals. The game, which featured six ties and five lead changes, was marred by 49 personal fouls and 57 combined free throw attempts. Rio Grande shot just 29.4 percent from the field (10-for-34) in the second half and finished 24-for-67 (35.8 percent) for the game. Alice Lloyd connected on just 31.6 percent (12for-38) of its shots in the first half and finished at 36.6 percent (26-for-71) for the game.

Buckeyes slip past Nebraska COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Playing its fourth game in eight days, No. 13 Ohio State seemed vulnerable Monday night. Facing a surprising Nebraska team that upset Michigan last week, the Buckeyes were at risk of letting one slip away. But that didn’t happen. Keita Bates-Diop, the Big Ten’s top scorer, had 14 of his 20 points in the second half and the surging Buckeyes ground out a 64-59 win over the Cornhuskers for their ninth straight conference victory. Nebraska (14-8, 5-4 Big Ten), fresh off a 20-point win over then-No. 23 Michigan on Thursday, tied it at 46 with 7:56 left with a 3-pointer from James Palmer Jr., who finished with a careerhigh 34 points. The lead changed six times in the next four minutes. A pair of foul shots by Palmer cut Ohio State’s lead to four with 2:19 remaining, but the Cornhuskers couldn’t pull any closer. Jae’Sean Tate put the Buckeyes (18-4, 9-0 Big Ten) up by six with a layup with 1:02 left, and a pair of foul shots by Kaleb Wesson stretched it to eight. Palmer hit a 3-pointer with 12 seconds left, but Nebraska ran out of time. “I think mentally we just stayed together,” said Tate, who had 17 points. “There were times you could see we struggled. In the first half, we were getting a little frustrated, but I think we did a great job in the second half, especially later on, coming together and staying together.” Neither team lit up the scoreboard. Ohio State shot 44 percent to Nebraska’s 39 percent. Seeing double The secret is out about Bates-Diop, which means he is regularly double-teamed now. That was the case Monday, when the Cornhuskers did a good job of neutralizing him in the first half. Later in the game his teammates figured out how to get him the ball. “They were doubling me pretty much everywhere,” he said. “Every time I drove someone was coming. Besides slipping screens and just moving around a little bit more with the ball, my teammates found me. It was mostly just layups to the basket.” Big picture Nebraska: The surprising Cornhuskers knocked off a ranked team last week and are a better squad than last season with Palmer carrying the load. But they couldn’t outlast the gritty Buckeyes, who are on a roll. “I thought we did a lot of good things defensively,” Nebraska coach Tim Miles said. “I was disappointed with our offense in the second half. A game like this you’re only going to get so many chances.” Ohio State: The Buckeyes may have been fatigued after a rugged traveling schedule and three straight games on the road. But they found a rhythm in the second half and locked down another critical Big Ten win over a scrappy team. Buckeyes rising Every week seems to bring another pleasant surprise for Ohio State. By beating Nebraska, the Buckeyes surpassed their win total for all of last season. Earlier in the day, they moved from No. 22 to No. 13 in the AP Top 25, their highest position since 2014. Browns hiring fired Steelers coordinator Haley CLEVELAND (AP) — Hue Jackson is finally handing off his Browns offense. Cleveland’s coach, who has handled gameplanning and play-calling duties while going 1-31 over two seasons with the Browns, is hiring former Pittsburgh offensive coordinator Todd Haley. Jackson interviewed other quality candidates but chose Haley, who spent six seasons guiding Pittsburgh’s highpowered offense before he was fired following a playoff loss last week, a person familiar with the negotiations told the Associated Press on Monday night. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the team has not announced the move. A former head coach with Kansas City, Haley’s familiarity with the AFC North will be a huge plus for Jackson as he tries to turn around the Browns following a historic 0-16 season. The 50-year-old Haley worked in Pittsburgh with some of the NFL’s best offensive players — quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, running back Le’Veon Bell and wide receiver Antonio Brown. The trio made the Steelers a challenge for any defense, and the team ranked in the Top 10 in scoring in each of the past four seasons. The Steelers averaged 25.4 points per game last season while the Browns managed a league-low 14.6. Haley will inherit an offense in Cleveland with far less talent than he had in Pittsburgh, but the Browns are expected to upgrade their offense through free agency and in the draft. They’ll likely use either the No. 1 or No. 4 overall picks on a quarterback and could land Southern Cal’s Sam Darnold, UCLA’s Josh Rosen or Wyoming’s Josh Allen, the top three prospects. Haley became the fall guy after Steelers were bounced by Jacksonville in the AFC playoffs. He was criticized for failing to have Roethlisberger sneak on two failed fourth-down plays. Haley called a wide pitch that lost yardage and Roethlisberger threw an incompletion on the second critical play as the Steelers were beaten 45-42 by the Jaguars, who advanced to the conference championship. Haley reportedly had a strained relationship with Roethlisberger, and that disconnect could have hastened the Steelers electing not to renew his contract. Haley went 19-27 and had one playoff appearance with the Chiefs, who fired him late in the 2011 season. Prior to that, he worked as Arizona’s offensive coordinator in 2007-08. The Cardinals scored a franchise-record 427 points in Haley’s second season. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
