THEIR VIEW

The stranger
at the table
A stranger appeared just as we were sitting
down for Thanksgiving dinner. And he sat in the
chair that we always leave empty to symbolize
those, who due to death or distance, could not
be with us this year. The stranger then began to
talk—and even sometimes sing.
“Let us bow our heads. Dear Lord, we gather
together to seek thy blessings, to remember and
to reﬂect, to share sadness and joy. We draw inspiration from many people and places.
From Jackie Robinson who endured
James F. bigotry with grit, grace, and excelBurns
lence. From Lou Gehrig who faced
Contributing death with dignity, saying he ‘was
columnist
the luckiest man on the face of the
earth.’ From soldiers who secured
our freedom but never made it back
home, who lie buried at Arlington, overseas, and
elsewhere, white crosses row upon row and Stars
of David to soften death with divine grace.
“Dear Lord, we grieve with those who have lost
loved ones in California wildﬁres
as well as in shootings and other attacks in
Pittsburgh, Parkland, Thousand Oaks, Annapolis,
Charleston, Las Vegas, Orlando, Sandy Hook,
Boston, 9-11, and Oklahoma City. We also grieve
with those who have lost loved ones from illness
and age and suffered far more privately. A farmer’s
wife was so grieved over the death of her daughter
and grand-daughter that she could barely write to
her son-in-law—‘I write
a few words and then have to stop and give way
to my feelings.’
“The farmer himself said these deaths were ‘the
most trying circumstances that I have ever met
with.’ And yet he was able to put his grief in perspective by being thankful for his blessings. ‘We
live in a land of plenty. The all-wise Giver of every
good thing bestows on his unworthy subjects the
necessities and comforts of life—and yet how little
do we appreciate the unbounded love and mercies,
both spiritual and temporal, that He is constantly
bestowing upon us. I blush at my ingratitude,
especially when I am disposed to complain at my
lot and consider it a hard one.’
“Dear Lord, our partisan political divide has
become so viciously toxic, so infected with malice
and vitriol, that my friends here at the table today
may have forgotten these words that I will now
sing as a reminder.
“‘O beautiful for spacious skies, For amber
waves of grain, For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain! America! America! God
shed his grace on thee, And crown thy good with
brotherhood From sea to shining sea.’”
A period of silence followed as we pondered
these words and reﬂected on our blessings, our
family and friends and magniﬁcent country which
are gifts that overcome all the trials and tribulations of everyday life.
When we looked up, the chair was once again
empty. We had been blessed. We are blessed. And
we are thankful.
James F. Burns, a native of Ohio, is a retired professor at the
University of Florida.

Run, turkey, run
Not being much of an athlete or a follower
thereof, I must make a confession. I thought the
Turkey Trot was for turkeys trying to escape hunters, looking for a Thanksgiving bird. Hm. Well, at
least it should be.
This time of the year I have turkeys on the
mind. I hate that the birds are raised just for eating. What a life! And, I feel the same
for all food animals even though I
do partake of said critters. As you
know, I am a believer that animals
have souls as well as do people. Then
we come to those being hunted with
guns. First of all, it is my belief that
we should arm all turkeys with weapons to make the hunt equal. Makes

me now and again. I remember when
Dad loaded my pet calf on the trailer to become
someone’s dinner. “Pam, you did such a good job
with the calf. He walked right onto the trailer.”
Well, darn! I didn’t train it to be meat. I trained it
to be loved, Dad!!!
I am not against farmers or hunters. I am just
for the animals. And, a tofu turkey does not whet
my appetite. Not that I don’t like tofu, soybean
growers. Oh my, it does get complicated. And, I do
love turkey sandwiches the day after. In essence,
this is a traumatic time of the year for the turkeys

THEIR VIEW

Giving’s the reason for this season
Well, friends, we have
made it. We are right in
the thick of the upcoming holiday season, as we
have turned the calendar
over to November. Before
we know it Thanksgiving
will be here; believe it or
not, it’s this Thursday!
High school football playoffs are well under way
and we are over halfway
through the college and
professional seasons.
Basketball and hockey
seasons are hitting their
full stride.
And as we come off the
sugar high of Halloween,
I can get ready for my
favorite of all holidays,
Thanksgiving. My appreciation for the holiday
has only grown over the
years. Granted, I have

AARP Safe Driving Class

From page 1A

A safe driving class sponsored by AARP in con­
nection with the Gallipolis Christian Church will
be given on Dec. 14 at the Gallipolis Christian
Church located at 4486 State Route 588, Gallipo­
lis, Ohio 45631 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. (lunch will
be provided by the church).
The Safe Driving Program is a classroom driver
improvement course for all drivers but specifically
designed for those 50 and older. This program
developed by AARP can sharpen driving skills,
help prevent accidents and keep older drivers on
the road longer and more safely.
For many people the Safe Driving Class can also
save money on car insurance. Ohio Law permits
auto insurance carriers to offer a discount on
premiums to qualified graduates of the approved
AARP class. Policyholders should contact their
carriers for more information about such dis­
counts.
Registration forms can be completed by calling
the church office at 740-245-0134. The cost of the
class is $15 for AARP members and $20 for non­
members. Please pay by check or money order
payable to AARP or if cash please have the exact
amount due. ($15 or $20). Change cannot be
made the day of the class.
You will need your AARP member # (if applica­
ble) and also your operator’s license number when
taking the class.
Instructor is James Oiler.

Opening night for Gallipolis In Lights
GALLIPOLIS — A
huge crowd descended
upon Gallipolis City Park
Wednesday evening for
the annual Gallipolis In
Lights Park Lighting.
Serving as the unofﬁcial start of the holiday
season for many in the
area, the lights began to
slowly come on in the
park as a ﬁreworks show,
sponsored by Holzer
Health System, lit up the
night sky over the Ohio
River.
The light balls, which
hang from the trees, have
grown to around 1,800
this year, with some of
that number serving
as replacement light

balls. The tree walk has
also grown, going from
around 160 last year to
216 this year. The trees
are sponsored by individuals, families, churches,
schools, etc., which personally decorate the trees,
making them each stand
out with their individual
stories along the park’s
walking paths.
In addition, there are
lighted archways, the
Santa House, new greenery, an LED Christmas
tree forest, strands and
strands of lights and
much more.
Gallipolis In Lights
runs through the holiday
season. Admission is free.

MEIGS HEALTH MATTERS

Gardening: A Historically Healthy Hobby
The act of gardening
is deeply intertwined
into the history of mankind. In fact, according
to the article, “A Brief
History of Gardening”
by Tim Lambert from
www.localhistories.org
, gardening dates back
to ancient times when
it was completed for
practical reasons, such as
growing herbs and vegetables as a food base.
Yet, Lambert goes on
to mention that as time
moved forward ancient
Egyptians expanded
upon this life preserving
task, and turned gardening into more of a luxurious attainment for the
wealthier populations.
For well-off Egyptians,
they now were able to
grow larger enclosed gardens containing trees to
shade them, vineyards to
enjoy the spirits, and fra-

grant ﬂowers to indulge
in their enchanting natural perfumes.
As time has progressed, gardening
has become even more
elaborate. However,
there is something to be
said about going back
to the basics. With that
in mind, gardening does
not have to be something
that is only obtainable
for the afﬂuent. On the
contrary, gardening is
something that is achievable and accessible by all.
Furthermore, gardening allows individuals
and families to learn
skills that will help
them to secure healthy
and delicious meals for
their entire family on
a fairly small budget.
Unlike going to a big
box store where prices
are increased to make
a proﬁt, gardening

Browns try to
beat former head
coach, Bengals
CINCINNATI (AP) — A jogging Hue Jackson
didn’t break stride as he left the practice ﬁeld. The
recently ﬁred Browns head coach was trying to
outrun questions about what it’s like being on the
opposite sideline this week.
Jackson left Cincinnati after the 2015 season
and spent two-plus seasons trying — futilely — to
get the Browns to win. Now he’s back in town ,
trying to beat them in a pivotal game.
He’s hoping his insights give the Bengals (5-5)
an edge Sunday in the intrastate rivalry. The
stakes are high for Cincinnati, which has dominated the series lately and wants to keep it that way.
“Everybody wants to count us out right now,”
center Billy Price said. “Everybody wants to put
us in the dumpster and light us on ﬁre, but we still
have a lot to accomplish. We have a lot of things
going on. We have a lot of winnable games coming
up here.”
The Browns (3-6-1) merely would like a victory
away from the shore of Lake Erie.
Cleveland has lost 25 consecutive road games,
one shy of the NFL mark held by the Detroit Lions
from 2007-10. The Browns’ last win on the road
came at Baltimore, where Josh McCown led them
to a 33-30 overtime victory on Oct. 11, 2015 —
back when Jackson was the Bengals’ offensive
coordinator.
Whether the streak endures or ends will come
down to whether the Bengals ﬁgure out a way to
stop Cleveland’s rookie duo on offense.
Last week, Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson
and running back Gus Edwards became the ﬁrst
rookie QB/RB duo to run for at least 100 yards in
the same game, leading Baltimore to a 24-21 victory over Cincinnati. The Bengals have given up
more than 200 yards rushing in each of the last
two games.
By contrast, Cleveland beat Kansas City 28-16
before heading into its bye week. Rookie Baker
Mayﬁeld tied a club rookie record with three
touchdown passes, and rookie Nick Chubb ran for
a career-high 176 yards, including a 92-yard touchdown that was the second-longest by a rookie in
NFL history.
“I think it is our guys believing in it, knowing
that we do not need anything else besides what
we have in this locker room, blocking out the
distractions and coming together,” Mayﬁeld said.
“Things happen, and you can use it for good. We
did.”
Can they do it again against their former head
coach?

OVP Super 25 Football Team
Big Blacks, Blue
Devils earn 17-of-25
spots on 2018 squad
By Bryan Walters
bwalters@aimmediamidwest.com

GALLIPOLIS, Ohio —
Another season of high
school football. Another
season of passing out
accolades to the Big
Blacks.
Only this time, they
had to share some of
those major honors with
the Blue Devils across the
river.
Point Pleasant once
again dominated the
selection process while
landing an area-best 10
choices on the 2018 Ohio
Valley Publishing Super
25 Football Team, as
voted on by the sports
writers for the Gallipolis
Daily Tribune, Point
Pleasant Register and
The Daily Sentinel publications.
The OVP Super 25
team consists of only
players on programs
within Gallia, Mason and
Meigs counties, and the
selection process was
based on overall contributions to each individual’s
team — whether it be on
offense, defense or special teams.
This area “all-star”
squad was also assembled
to reward and acknowledge some of our ﬁnest

as well as going unbeaten

PPHS frontman David
Darst — who guided
Point to its 11th consecutive postseason appearance — had previously
won coach of the year
honors in each of the last
three seasons, including
the last two outright.
The Big Blacks (9-2)

Browns
From page 1B

Some things to
watch at Paul Brown
Stadium:
Oh that defense
The Bengals ﬁred
defensive coordinator Teryl Austin
after becoming the
ﬁrst team in the
Super Bowl era to
allow 500 yards in
three straight games.
Coach Marvin Lewis
assumed the job of
defensive coordinator as well as hiring
Jackson as a special
assistant on defense.
The change didn’t
make enough of a
difference as the
Bengals got run over
in Baltimore. Their
main focus this week
is stopping Chubb.
Series-ly one-sided
The Bengals have
won seven in a row
against the Browns,
the longest winning
streak by either team
in the intrastate
series. The Bengals
have won the last
seven by 30, 21, 34,
14, 13, 24 and 24
points. The Bengals are 7-1 against
Browns rookie quarterbacks under Lewis,
who is in his 16th
season. The only loss
was 34-24 at Cleveland in 2012 behind
Brandon Weeden.
One, two
Not only are the
Browns hoping to
avoid infamy with
their 26th straight
road loss, they’re trying to start a winning
“streak.”
Cleveland hasn’t
won two straight
games since 2014,
when the Browns
reeled off three in a
row while improving
to 6-3 under thencoach Mike Pettine.
That seems like an
eternity ago for the
Browns, who have
gone 8-56-1 since that
modest run.
Playoffs?
While the game
has signiﬁcance for
Cincinnati’s playoff
hopes, the Browns
aren’t yet ﬁnished
ruminating about the
postseason. They’d
likely have to win
their last six games
to end a playoff
drought dating to
2002.

picks.
Senior linebacker Jacob

player of the year after
accumulating 82 tackles,
15 tackles for loss and
two forced fumbles.
Campbell was joined

were also chosen to the
2017 OVP Super 25
team.
Excluding the coaches,
the Big Blacks have had

gave credit to his offensive line for their consistency this season.
“They’ve been amazing,” said Solich. “I knew
we had a good experience line coming in, but
then they continued to
perform at the level they
did which was special.
Obviously, it helps your
running backs to have
that kind of a line. The

Ouellette — who
caught one pass for 17
yards — posted a gamehigh 169 yards on 15 carries, with a pair of touchdowns. During the game,
Ouellette surpassed the
1,000-yard mark for the
season, making him one
of only four running
backs in program history
to reach the milestone in
multiple campaigns.
Irons caught one
seven-yard pass and carried the ball 18 times for
126. White caught three
passes for 63 yards and
now has a program record
2,530 career yards, surpassing LaVon Brazill.
Rourke was 5-of-14
passing for 87 yards, to
go with 18 carries for
86 yards and four touchdowns.
On defense, senior
Evan Croutch had teamhighs of 10 tackles, six
solo tackles and two tackles for a loss. Croutch and
Amos Ogun-Semore each
recorded a sack, with
Conrad grabbing his ﬁrstcareer interception.
For the Zips, Edwards
had a team-best 19 yards
on 11 carries. Kato Nelson was 24-of-41 passing

for 356 yards and four
touchdowns, with Williams hauling in a gamebest seven passes for 81
yards and a touchdown.
Jamal Davis led the
Akron defense with
team-highs of 11 tackles
and two tackles for a
loss.
Prior to the game,
Ohio honored its senior
football players, competing for the ﬁnal time at
Peden Stadium.
“I’m just really glad
for the seniors that they
were able to get this
done and come up with
a satisfying win,” Solich
said. “They’re a special
group and I look forward
to going to a bowl game
with them.”
This marks the ﬁrst
time since 1968 that
Ohio has won all of its
home games. It’s the ﬁrst
time since 1988 that the
Bobcats went unbeaten
at home, with one tie
that season.
The Bobcats are now
20-14-1 against Akron in

Solich improving to 11-3
against the Zips.

Older signs to join OVU softball
By Alex Hawley
ahawley@aimmediamidwest.com

ROCKSPRINGS, Ohio
— A hand-in-mitt ﬁt,
catcher’s mitt that is.
The Ohio Valley University softball team has
a new catcher headed
its way, as Meigs senior
Ciera Older signed her
National Letter of Intent
to join the Fighting Scots
on Monday inside Larry
R. Morrison Gymnasium.
Older — who has spent
two seasons on the Lady
Marauders varsity squad,
with one still to come —
talked about signing with
the Division II school and
how important it was to
her to continue playing
softball after high school.
“Softball is something
I’ve done for a really
long time and it’s pretty
important to me,” Older
said. “It’s something I’ve
always done with my
father, so it’s a way for us
to connect. I’m excited to
play for four more years.”
Older has helped the
Lady Marauders to 32

Swann and travel ball coach Bryan Cooper.

wins in two seasons with
the team, playing in 20
games as sophomore,
before appearing in 17 as
a junior.
Meigs head coach
Bryan Swann noted that
Older has stepped into
the varsity catching role
without his squad missing a beat.
“She’s played for us
since her sophomore
year,” Swann said. “We
plugged her in at catcher

after one of our catchers
left, and she’s been solid
there. She’s a solid blocker and she’s got a good
arm. She’ll contribute at
Ohio Valley and make an
impact there, I’m sure of
that.”
In two seasons with
the Maroon and Gold,
Older has 17 hits, 13 runs
batted in and nine runs
scored. As a junior, Ciera
had a .986 ﬁelding percentage, second-highest

on the team among
players with at least 10
total chances. Older tied
for the most defensive
chances on the team with
69 last season. Older will
be a part of the rebuilding process for Ohio
Valley, which won just
ﬁve games a year ago,
including three in the
Great Midwest Athletic
Conference. Still, less
than an hour from Meigs
High School, OVU was
just what Ciera was looking for in a college.
“I wanted to go to a
smaller school,” Older
said. “We did a visit on
my try-out day and I
toured the campus, it
was smaller and it was
a Christian school, so I
thought it was a nice ﬁt
for me.”
Older — who holds 3.1
GPA at MHS — plans on
an Early Childhood Education major, with plans
to enter grad-school after
completing her degree.

Lady Raiders down South Gallia, 52-45
By Scott Jones
sjones@aimmediamidwest.com

BIDWELL, Ohio —
And so it begins.
The River Valley girls
basketball team — which
trailed by seven points
after the ﬁrst quarter —
outscored the visiting
Lady Rebels 41-27 over
the remainder of the
contest, as RVHS claimed
52-45 season-opening victory in Gallia County.
South Gallia (0-1) utilized a 14-2 run to build
the early advantage with
5:08 to go in the ﬁrst
quarter. The Lady Raiders (1-0), however, manufactured a 9-4 scoring run
of their own to cut the
deﬁcit to 18-11 by the
conclusion of the stanza.
The Silver and Black
continued their rally in
the second quarter, as
Sierra Somerville sank
two free throws to give
the hosts their ﬁrst lead
of the contest at 23-22
with 3:17 to go in the
half. From there, River
Valley furthered its
advantage by way of a
9-4 scoring run to carry a
32-26 lead into the intermission.
The Lady Rebels cut
the deﬁcit to one-point
(34-33) within the opening three minutes of the
second half, but the Lady
Raiders ended the quarter with a 10-5 run and a
44-38 lead.
Both squads struggled
from the ﬁeld in the
fourth period, each going
without a ﬁeld goal until
RVHS pushed its lead to
46-38, with 5:00 remaining in the ﬁnale, en route
to seven-point, 52-45
win.
“I was a little worried
with how we came out

SGHS junior Alyssa Creemens attempts a three-pointer during
the Lady Rebels 52-45 setback to River Valley on Friday night in
Bidwell, Ohio.

at the start,” RVHS head
coach Stephen Roderick
said. “We were down
14-2. These girls took
a knock out punch and
they got back up. I’m
so proud of them. They
didn’t let the early margin discourage them.
Everyone was involved.
We haven’t been able to
do that very well in my
previous year. That didn’t
happen tonight. If we
keep up that attitude and
clean up some of our mistakes, we can keep this
thing rolling.”
For seventh-year SGHS
head coach Corey Small,
the key to success this
season for his program
depends on his group of
returning players.
“I think the girls played
really hard and showed
a lot of heart,” Small

said. “They never quit.
We jumped out early,
but kind of ran out of
gas. Our conditioning is
something we need to
work on, but it’s out ﬁrst
game and I still think we
can have a bright season.
We have things to work
on, but the kids are determined and work hard.”
River Valley attempted
only nine more ﬁeld goals
than SGHS in the game,
with the Lady Raiders
shooting 20-of-64 (34.2
percent) including 1-of13 (7.6 percent) from
three-point range, and
the Lady Rebels shooting
18-of-55 (32.7 percent)
including 5-of-25 (20 percent) from long distance.
From the free throw line,
RVHS was 11-of-13 (84.6
percent), while the Red
and Gold was 4-of-12

(33.3 percent).
The Lady Raiders won
the rebounding battle by
a 40-to-31 margin. The
visitors committed 26
turnovers in the setback,
three more than River
Valley.
RVHS sophomore Hannah Jacks led the hosts
with a 14 points, while
Somerville, senior Kelsey
Brown and freshman
Lauren Twyman poured
in 10 points apiece,
respectively, for the Silver and Black.
Beth Gillman added
ﬁve points, including on
trifecta, as Cierra Roberts provided two points.
Kaylee Tucker concluded
the scoring totals for
River Valley with one
point.
Kiley Stapleton led
the Lady Rebels with 14
points, including two
trifectas and a 2-of-2
performance from the
charity stripe. Christine
Grifﬁth was next with
seven points, while
Amaya Howell and
Alyssa Cremeens ﬁnished
with six points apiece,
respectively. Olivia Johnson rounded out the scoring totals for the visitors
with two points.
The non-conference
contest served as the ﬁrst
game of the 2018-19 campaign for both squads.
The Lady Raiders return
to the hardwood for their
ﬁrst road date of the season, as they travel to face
Gallia County foe Gallia
Academy on Monday.
The Lady Rebels return
to action when they tipoff for their home opener
on Tuesday against
Symmes Valley.

Cavs hand 76ers
first home loss
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — On paper, it looked
like a mismatch. The Cavaliers didn’t view their
game against the 76ers that way and it showed.
Jordan Clarkson scored 14 of his 19 points
in the fourth quarter, Rodney Hood had 25 and
Cleveland stunned Philadelphia 121-112 on
Friday night, snapping the 76ers’ perfect home
record.
Philadelphia entered as the NBA’s lone undefeated team at home at 10-0, while the Cavaliers
were 0-8 on the road with the worst overall
record in the league at 2-14.
“We’re not really going to look at our record
and count ourselves out of any game,” coach
Larry Drew said. “We knew it was going to be a
tough task. We knew we had to be on point on
both ends of the ﬂoor. I’m just happy our guys
played with the effort and energy they did. And it
ﬁnally paid off.”
Colin Sexton added 23 points, Cedi Osman
scored 20 and Tristan Thompson had 18 points
and 13 rebounds for the Cavaliers, who had lost
three in a row, including Wednesday’s 109-105
home defeat to the Lakers in LeBron James’
return to Cleveland.
“Despite our record, we’re tough and resilient,”
said Andrew Harrison, who made a key 3-pointer
with 5:12 remaining. “We all play hard. If we continue to do what we’re doing, (the record) will
get better.”

Steelers take
6-game win
streak to Denver
DENVER (AP) —
The Pittsburgh Steelers
can unnerve plenty of
defenses with the NFL’s
best pair of pass catchers
and the league’s top tight
end tandem.
Not Denver’s.
“We’ve had a tough
game every week,” Broncos cornerback Chris
Harris Jr. said. “We
haven’t had any easy
games. So, this is just
another top offense that
we get to see, another
great challenge and we’re
up for it.”
The Steelers (7-2-1),
bursting with playmakers in wide receivers
Antonio Brown, JuJu
Smith-Schuster, tight
ends Vance McDonald
and Jesse James and running back James Connor,
are the third consecutive
opponent to bring a winning streak of at least
ﬁve games into their
matchup against the
Broncos (4-6).
The 1976 Tampa Bay
Buccaneers were the last
team to face that sort of
gantlet, wrapping up an
0-14 season with losses
to the Raiders, Steelers
and Patriots by an average of 40-10.
The Broncos snapped
the Chargers’ six-game
roll with a stirring comeback last week capped by
Brandon McManus’ ﬁeld
goal as time expired —
one game after his errant
kick as time expired
allowed the Texans to
escape with their sixth
straight win.
“We’ve seen it all
already,” Harris said.
“Now, it’s just another
challenge, another great
offense, another great
quarterback and receivers. We’ve had some success this year playing the
top offenses.”
In addition to letting
Deshaun Watson and
the Texans duck out of
Denver with a win, the
Broncos had their chanc-

es against Jared Goff
and the Rams and twice
against Patrick Mahomes
and the Chiefs. They lost
those four games by a
combined 12 points.
“Close calls against
really good football
teams,” Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger
said. “This is deﬁnitely a
team that is much better
than their record shows.
They’re a team that’s
kind of sitting there.”
Ready to pounce.
“They got a big win
last week and need to
get this win,” Roethlisberger said. “We don’t
look at records. We look
at going on the road to
a tough place to play
against a really good
football team.”
Other subplots in the
Steelers’ ﬁrst trip to
Denver since the playoffs following the 2015
season:
Orange crunch
The Broncos counter
Pittsburgh’s dynamite
duos with the league’s
most proliﬁc pass-rushing pair in Von Miller
and rookie Bradley
Chubb, both of whom
are riding ﬁve-game sack
streaks.Miller and Chubb
have combined for 19
sacks, 21 tackles for loss,
29 QB hits, ﬁve forced
fumbles, two fumble
recoveries and one interception.
“It’s unbelievable,
maybe the best one in
the game right now,
those two guys,” Roethlisberger said.
Road warriors
The Steelers are
15-1-1 in their last 17
road games, though
the going has typically
been difﬁcult in Denver.
Pittsburgh has dropped
four of its last ﬁve visits
to the Mile High City,
including a pair of playoff setbacks in 2012 and
2016.

Mickelson wins match against Woods
By Joe Reedy
Associated Press

Phil Mickelson beat
Tiger Woods in overtime
Friday in their $9 million pay-per-view match
in Las Vegas that ended
up free for many viewers because of technical
problems.
Mickelson won on
the 22nd hole, making
a 4-foot birdie putt on a
specially set up 93-yard,
par 3. The match at
Shadow Creek Golf Club
ﬁnished under ﬂoodlights.
Mickelson said to
Woods after the match:
“Just know I will never
let you live that down.
It’s not the Masters or
the U.S. Open, but it is
nice to have a little something on you.”
Woods said he enjoyed
the match, even if he was
on the losing end.
“You couldn’t have
made this event any better than it was,” he said.
“It was back and forth
and very competitive on
a golf course that was
playing on the tricky
side.”
The match made for
some compelling golf
at times, if only most
people would have been
able to see it. Technical
difﬁculties marred the
event, which was billed
as golf’s ﬁrst pay-perview broadcast.
Some viewers unable
to view it on their
televisions after paying $19.95. Turner and
Bleacher Report representatives sent out links
on social media allowing
people to view it for free
on their computers and

Phil Mickelson lines up a putt on the first green during a golf
match against Tiger Woods at Shadow Creek golf course Friday,
in Las Vegas. Mickelson won the event billed as golf’s first payper-view broadcast.

mobile devices.
There were over 500
people on hold online
waiting for assistance
during one point.
“We experienced some
technical issues on B/R
Live that temporarily
impacted user access to
The Match. We’ve taken
a number of steps to
resolve the matter, with
our main priority being
the delivery of content
to those that have purchased the PPV event,”
Turner spokeswoman
Tareia Williams said in
an emailed statement.
Only 700 invited
guests were allowed to
watch the event at Shadow Creek. The match
was billed as a chance
for viewers to watch an
untraditional golf broadcast as both golfers and
their caddies were mic’d
up. It also featured live
odds from MGM resorts
and a drone was used for
live shots.
There was some banter between Woods and
Mickelson early on but
not much as the stakes
increased.

Mickelson said on the
15th hole to Woods that
“I’m trying to be more
talkative but I’m not on
this back nine.”
Woods understood and
responded that they were
going back to their old
mode of “trying to beat
each other’s brains in.”
The most revealing
moment on the front nine
happened after Woods
missed a 4-foot, short
par putt on the second
hole to give Mickelson an
early advantage.
“I was half a second

from giving him that
putt because he always
makes those,” Mickelson
said to his brother, Tim,
who was his caddie.
Mickelson was 1 up
through the front nine
before Woods seized
the lead with birdies on
the par-4 11th and 12th
holes. Mickelson then
squared it with a birdie
on the par-3 13th and
retook the lead when
Woods bogeyed the par-4
15th.
Woods tied it with
birdie from the fringe of
the green on the par-3
17th. Both birdied the
par-5 18th and then
parred the ﬁrst playoff
hole before it went to
the par-3 extra hole —
which was pitch shots
off the practice putting
green — that they kept
playing until there was a
winner.
After he birdied the
17th, Woods said to caddie Joe LaCava “just like
old times, buddy.”
Mickelson also said
it was like old times for
him against Woods after
that trademark shot.

Slugfest: No. 6 Oklahoma
outlasts No. 12 WVU 59-56
MORGANTOWN,
W.Va. (AP) — No. 6 Oklahoma has been scoffed at
for handing points and
yards to opponents like
presents, and it wasn’t
any different against No.
12 West Virginia. Yet a
couple of defensive gems
now have the Sooners
playing for their fourth
straight Big 12 championship.
Oklahoma scored two
defensive touchdowns to
support another brilliant
performance by Kyler
Murray and the Sooners
beat No. 12 West Virginia
59-56 Friday night to earn
a spot in next week’s title
game.
Oklahoma (11-1, 8-1,
No. 6 CFP) survived a
wild and mostly defenseless affair that featured
1,372 yards of offense to
earn a rematch Dec. 1 in
Arlington, Texas, against
No. 11 Texas, which beat
Kansas earlier Friday.
“We’ll certainly be
excited to play those
guys,” Oklahoma coach
Lincoln Riley said. “But,
more than anything, one
huge goal we set out was
we want to be the only
team ever to win four of
these in a row.”
Oklahoma also kept
its College Football Playoff chances alive. The
Sooners remain the only
Big 12 team that West
Virginia (8-3, 6-3, No. 13
CFP) hasn’t beaten since
the Mountaineers joined
the league in 2012.
Oklahoma players sang
West Virginia’s anthem,
John Denver’s “Take Me
Home, Country Roads”
on the way to the locker
room after the game.
“It was fun,” Murray
said. “There’s no other
way to describe it.”

Murray ﬁnished 20
of 27 for 364 yards and
three touchdown passes
and converted a late
fourth down to seal a
matchup of Heisman Trophy hopefuls. West Virginia’s Will Grier threw
for four touchdowns and
a career-high 539 yards
on 32 of 49 passing. But
Grier lost two fumbles,
both of which were
returned for touchdowns.
“When you score two
touchdowns defensively,
you like your chances,”
Riley said.
Oklahoma linebacker
Caleb Kelly had a 12-yard
TD return in the second
quarter.
With the Mountaineers
trying to regain momentum early in the fourth,
Grier was spun around
by defensive end Kenneth
Mann during a scramble
and lost the ball. Oklahoma linebacker Curtis
Bolton picked it up and
ran 48 yards for a touchdown to put the Sooners
ahead 59-49.
“I’m disappointed for
our seniors. We fought
hard and came up a little
bit short,” West Virginia
coach Dana Holgorsen
said. “As well as we
played offensively, giving
them 14 points is inexcusable.”
Grier said he was trying to throw the ball out
of bounds when Mann hit
him.
“They got to me quite a
bit tonight,” he said “To
scoop and score both of
those is pretty impressive
on their part. They made
some plays.”
Martell Pettaway’s
17-yard TD run with 4:20
left made it a one-score
game. But Oklahoma
recovered the ensuing

The takeaway
Oklahoma: The Sooners were unremarkable
on defense yet again, but
those two stellar plays
were the difference.
On offense the Sooners
surpassed 290 rushing yards for the sixth
straight game, coinciding
with their six-game winning streak. They also
improved their nationalbest road winning streak
to 20 games dating to the
2014 season.
West Virginia: The
Mountaineers matched
the Sooners punch for
punch offensively but
made a few more mistakes than Oklahoma
and ﬁnished the regular
season with two straight
losses, a huge disappointment for a team that
believed they had the
right mix to win their
ﬁrst league championship. The Mountaineers
will also likely miss out
on a New Year’s Six bowl
for the seventh straight
season.
“We didn’t make our
goal,” Holgorsen said.
“It’s a damn shame.”
