The edition recounts eyewitness accounts, including that of Paul Scott, then age 51, of Middleport, Ohio. His account was reported as follows: “I was in the car. The bridge toppled to one side.

Kevin Craft Photography Those participating in the ribbon cutting of SR 823 were able to drive along a portion of the new highway. The caravan made a U-turn near the Miller’s Run Fallen Timber overpass and proceeded back towards Sciotoville, then back to SR 335 at the Greater Portsmouth Regional Airport where ceremonies took place. A few hundred people, including plenty of local and state politicians, lots of veterans and presumably more than a few car enthusiasts, packed the Sunrise Church of Christ in Minford near the Scioto County Airport early Thursday afternoon. Following some speech making and a brief ribbon-cutting ceremony, most of those present became the first members of the public to drive down at least a stretch of the brand-new Southern Ohio Veterans Memorial Highway, a.k.a. SR 823, long informally dubbed the Portsmouth Bypass. One official estimated the initial motorcade consisted of at least 110 vehicles, ranging from vintage cars to hot rods to several Minford School District buses, as well as various vehicles supplied by several veterans’ groups.

In fact, information is so easy to come by that often individuals become bombarded with the sheer amount of information they are faced with, or even worse they miss important information simply because it was not advertised enough. Too often this is the case when it comes to the services that the Meigs County Health Department offers to the public. As a health department employee, I have had numerous conversations with individuals who are unaware of the services we can provide to them and their community. With this concept in mind, I would like to bring to light one of the programs that is housed at the Meigs County Health Department. The program I am referring to is the Creating Healthy Communities (CHC) Program. The CHC program is a grant funded program awarded by the Ohio Department of Health. The grant is focused on preventing chronic disease in the state of Ohio. In order to prevent chronic disease, the grant addresses three focus areas: tobacco, active living, and healthy eating. In Meigs County, the 2018 grant funding has been used to address the focus areas of active living and come.

Although the CHC grant is housed at the Meigs County Health Department, it truly is a community and countywide effort to make this program prosperous. This grant has positively impacted several neighborhoods and agencies throughout Meigs County. Not to mention, this grant would never be as successful as it has been in Meigs County without the dedicated work of the CHC Coalition and partners who receive the grant funding each year. The CHC Coalition is a passionate group of individuals who are committed to the ongoing improvements of the community they love; they volunteer their time, knowledge, and skills to ensure that selected CHC projects are the best use of funds, are implemented correctly, and are successful and sustainable. If you are an individuals or organization who too is enthusiastic about improving Meigs County in the pursuit of preventing chronic disease, our coalition is always looking to expand and diversify our group. The partners who are awarded the funds are just as steadfast to the CHC program and its goals as the coalition itself. These partners donate their time and assist in financial commitments to make sure that projects are executed productively. In fact, between the allotted CHC grant funds, and the in-kind donations of each established partnership, the CHC program has devoted nearly $50,000 to Meigs County in just 2018 alone. The CHC program’s motto is, “Making the healthy choice the easy choice by transforming the community to create a culture of health through leadership development, system change, and improved access.” It is our goal here at the health department to fight for the health of Meigs County, and this Creating Healthy Communities Program is just one of the ways that our staff is committed to this cause. I hope this overview of the CHC program has informed you of some of the good that the health department has provided in 2018 to the community it so proudly serves. Thankfully the CHC grant has been awarded to the Meigs County Health Department for the 2019 grant year as well, meaning that this great work towards preventing chronic disease in Meigs County will continue with the tackling of additional projects next year. Should you want to know more about the CHC program and the terrific projects that it generates for your community please feel free to contact me at ciara.martin@meigshealth.com. Ciara Martin is the Creating Healthy Communities project director for the Meigs County Health Department. �Opinion 4A Sunday, December 16, 2018 Sunday Times-Sentinel THEIR VIEW A lesson from ‘The Greatest Generation’ As I watched the moving tributes heaped upon former President George Herbert Walker Bush (aka “41”) after his recent passing, I was not surprised to learn of his athletic success as a young man. The attributes that endeared him to so many, such as his ultra competitive spirit and intensity; his love for and loyalty to family and friends; his ability to be single-minded in his approach to problem solving; his habit of deflecting praise to others when things went well, but accepting blame when they didn’t; and his humility, are all attributes that the most successful athletic programs reinforce. As family, friends, and foes alike declared their admiration for the attributes “41” exhibited on a daily basis, Tom Dunn I was reminded of my own father, who Contributing also grew up during “The Greatest columnist Generation.” While he didn’t fight in World War II, he has the same values as “41” did, and he did his best, together with my incredible mother, to pass them on to their children, just as President Bush did. Dad viewed humility as a very important attribute for one to possess. In fact, one of my earliest memories in athletics came when he advised me, “If you’re good at something, you don’t need to tell people about it. They’ll be able to see it without you saying a word.” That was his way of saying, “Just keep your mouth shut and play.” Athletes who insist on prancing, preening, taunting, and trash talking every time they make even an average play cheapen the game. Professional athletes are the worst at this. The pounding on the chest, pointing at the name on the back of their jersey, or standing over a vanquished opponent, as we see exhibited so often on television today, all seem like such “look at me!” actions that the most successful people among us don’t exhibit. These days, it is often hard to tell which team is winning or losing, since the behaviors are exhibited by players of both teams. I sat dumbfounded a year or two ago when I heard studio analysts on an NFL pregame show debating the actions of a wide receiver who had caught a touchdown pass. He had gotten down on all fours by the goal post and had lifted his leg, pretending to urinate like a dog. During the discussion, a couple of the announcers blamed the NFL for this disgraceful performance, because it hadn’t stipulated clearly enough what was and wasn’t acceptable celebratory behavior. Are you kidding me? It was the league’s fault!? Of course, one of the media members engaging in the debate was a former NFL player who, during his career, upon scoring a touchdown once, pretended to pull his pants down and rub his butt on the goal post. Enough said. Suffice it to say that pretending to urinate on a gym floor, acting as if I was dropping my pants, or taunting an opponent never was an option for me as a player. This wasn’t because my coach or the league I played in had sent me a memo telling me how I should behave. It was because I knew that had I ever done so, my father would have come out on the floor, DURING THE GAME, snatched me by the ear, and escorted me off the floor in front of God and country. And, that is exactly how it should be. Similarly, when an all-pro quarterback recently criticized his teammates in the media, there was much debate about whether or not it was proper for him to have thrown his teammates under the bus, especially given that he had thrown a terrible interception at game’s end. In response to the criticism he had received, the quarterback suggested that he had earned the right to publicly critique his teammates’ performance because of his long and successful playing career. This “you have now earned the right to publicly call out your teammates,” was another lesson my dad and the coaches for whom I played forgot to impart upon me. “41’s” parents and coaches must have omitted that advice, too, considering that during his eulogy he was described as a man who, “In victory, he shared credit. When he lost, he shouldered the blame.” That’s what the best teammates do. All former athletes, in the end, become old and washed-up, incapable of performing the physical feats that once came so naturally. For most of us, this occurs in our late teens or early twenties. Even the best athletes in the world are most often finished with their physical feats by the time they are 40. So, if we don’t take something from a game besides playing a game, what’s the point? The personal attributes that President George Herbert Walker Bush exhibited throughout an incredible lifetime and well after he had been confined to a wheelchair, with his baseball skills but a faint memory, are the skills that matter most. The members of “The Greatest Generation” seemed to understand that better than most. We could all probably learn a thing or two from them. Tom Dunn is the former superintendent of the Miami County Educational Service Center. THEIR VIEW Where did we get sidetracked? It seems rather odd, I often think, that despite all the measures taken to ensure our safety these days, we are probably more at risk now than we have been for a long time. Back in the day, it never crossed my mind to wear a helmet when I was riding a bicycle, or a skateboard or moped, for that matter. I do not remember ever wearing a seat belt as a youngster. I learned to drive on the road long before I was of the age to obtain a permit. I assume my dad — and some cousins — figured I should know how to drive before I was legally allowed. At a fairly young age I could run all over town, pretty much anytime I wanted, as long I was home for lunch and supper. Same goes for wondering off into the woods. And I did not need a cell phone or some other device to tell me when that time came. In the warmer months, we ran through neighbors’ back yards and sometimes climbed atop their outbuildings, well into the night, and we found other mischievous ways to entertain ourselves at their expense, but never heard a complaint. We argued and fought a lot as kids. But I rarely, if ever, remember anyone suffering much more than a bruised ego, and usually by the next day we were buddies again. We had wars. All kinds of them. We used sticks as swords and metal trash can lids as shields. We had dirt clod fights stands out. — the only time I On this day we remember getting had quite a crowd, hurt is when I was and as we split up trying to pry one teams we noticed out of the ground that one of the and flipped most boys was carrying of the dirt in my a pellet gun.

There are 15 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Dec. 16, 1944, the World War II Battle of the Bulge began as German forces launched a surprise attack against Allied forces through the Ardennes Forest in Belgium and Luxembourg (the Allies were eventually able to turn the Ger- mans back). On this date: In 1773, the Boston Tea Party took place as American colonists boarded a British ship and dumped more than 300 chests of tea into Boston Harbor to protest tea taxes. In 1905, the entertainment trade publication Variety came out with its first weekly issue. In 1950, President Harry S. Truman pro- claimed a national state of emergency in order to fight “world conquest by Communist imperialism.” In 1960, 134 people were killed when a United Air Lines DC-8 and a TWA Super Constellation collided over New York City. In 1976, the government halted its swine flu vaccination program following reports of paralysis apparently linked to the vaccine. the participants kind of backed away, and the two guys with a beef squared off to settle their disagreement. The guy with the pellet gun — the taller but less stocky of the two — started rolling up his shirt sleeves like he was ready to fight. But as my buddy started toward him, the pellet gun guy suddenly took off running. About half way to his nearby car, with my teammate in hot pursuit, the pellet gun guy stopped, whirled around, and leveled his gun at my buddy. “Halt, or I’ll shoot,” were the exact words that came out of his mouth. When my buddy hesitated, the pellet gun guy made a dash for his car, jumped in, locked the doors, and fired up the engine. In the meantime, my buddy had found a large, thick stick — more like a decent sized tree limb — and as the pellet gun guy hurriedly drove away, my buddy was whacking his car with that big stick, while the rest of us were falling over each other laughing. That was the last BB gun battle I remember. After all, we were coming of age, and BB guns wars started to seem like child’s play compared to cruising and chasing girls. Man, things sure seemed better and more simple back then. I wonder where we got sidetracked? Jeff Gilliland is the editor of The Times-Gazette.

The passenger with me didn’t seem to move at any time. As I pulled up and stopped behind the first Roadway truck; I had stopped dead still; the truck tipped to the right hand side, and the bridge collapsed. It happened so fast the only thing I can recall right here is that I started to pray. We all headed for the water. I could see the steel beams before us. We hit the water and the truck sank like a rock. On instinct, I knew the windows were up and there would be an air pocket for awhile. I held my breath and, knowing the door couldn’t be opened with all that pressure, I tried to find the window knob but couldn’t. Then I panicked and knew that was it. When I found out I couldn’t get the window down, I kept reaching. I found one window a half to three-quarters of the way down. I forced it down and that’s how I got this (show his right wrist had been cut). And that’s how I escaped. I didn’t know how far I had to go up. But I could tell the water kept getting lighter. When I got to the top, my back hurt and I reached for a box floating by. But there was not enough buoyancy to hold me up. I saw a larger box that might hold me. I couldn’t move my feet, so I peddled with my hands to the box and then hollered for help. The boat picked me up about 15 minutes later or maybe it Frank Wamsley “The bridge was shaking, once too often. It went to the left, and then to the right, and it never came back, it just kept going. We went down right with the rest of the scrabble. It was a long way. I couldn’t understand why I made it.” Paul Scott “It happened so fast the only thing I can recall right here is that I started to pray. We all headed for the water.

But I’ll participate in a different kind of Christmas this year.” Also telling the Register his story was Frank Wamsley of Point Pleasant, then 28 years old. “I was in a James Merry Stone truck near the top of the bridge. We were moving at the time, but traffic in front of us was stopped.

The Gallipolis Railroad Freight Station Museum loaded a 1945 Porter steam engine in late August onto its outside rails after acquiring it from the nearby West Virginia State Farm Museum. According to Museum Board Vice-President Jerry Davis, the engine did not have a fire box and was filled with steam. This allowed it to operate in areas where an open flame may be too dangerous for other steam engines. �Sunday Times-Sentinel Sunday, December 16, 2018 7 ANNOUNCING THE BIG PRICE DROP food stores SAVE 50¢ Morning Delight Jumbo Biscuits 16 oz, Assorted Varieties 99 ¢ 1.49 SAVE 44 1.99 ¢ 1.55 ea J.Higgs Cheese Bits Crackers 12.4-13.7 oz Assorted Varieties ea SAVE $ 1 6.99 Farmington Chicken Tenders 40 oz 5.99 ea SAVE 31¢ 2.00 1.69 ea Coburn Farms Cheese Chunks 8 oz, Regular or Light Wylwood SAVE 30 ¢ Potato Puffs 32 oz 1.99 1.49 .99 1.69 ea SAVE 50¢ ea Coburn Farms Sour Cream 16 oz, Regular or Light Worth The Drive From ANYWHERE! %LGZHOO��2+�Ř�-DFNVRQ��2+�Ř�3RPHUR\��2+�Ř�5LSOH\��:9 DECEMBER 2018 Moran Foods, LLC.

In the area of trivia, what appeared to be a 1950s era Chevy became the first private vehicle to break down on the new highway. At least one or two hot rods became the first to leave skid marks on the roadway. By the time you read this in the print the morning of Dec. 14, the 16-mile roadway may or may not be open to the public. Prior to the ribbon-cutting, Ohio Department of Transportation District 9 spokeswoman Kathleen Fuller said the highway would be open for general use by mid-morning Dec.14. However, an ODOT driver, who shuttled all three Scioto County Commissioners along with several members of the media as part of that long initial motorcade, said it was his understanding workers would be out late the night of Dec. 13 removing any barricades from the road, allowing it to open with the first light Dec. 14. “This is a great day,” declared Mike Crabtree, chairman of the Scioto County Commissioners and the first dignitary to speak inside the church.

See ANGELS | 2B Blue Devils fall in conference bout at Ironton, 59-57 By Bryan Walters bwalters@aimmediamidwest.com IRONTON, Ohio — A painful bump on the conference road. The Gallia Academy boys basketball team trailed the final 27-plus minutes of regulation as host Ironton built an eight-point lead through three quarters and eventually held on for a 59-57 decision on Friday night in an Ohio Valley Conference contest in Lawrence County. The visiting Blue Devils (3-2, 1-1 OVC) built leads of 3-0 and 11-9 in the opening four minutes of play, but an Ethan Wilson 3-pointer at the 3:43 mark gave the Fighting Tigers (2-1, 1-1) what proved to be a permanent cushion for the rest of the evening. The Orange and Black ultimately built a slim 18-17 first quarter lead, with Wilson and Gallia Academy junior big man Zach Loveday both contributing 11 points apiece in the opening frame. That, however, was where the similarities ended for each squad’s best player. Loveday — after scoring four quick points — ended up picking up a second personal foul early in the second, reducing the 7-foot-1 center to a simple spectator for the rest of the half. Wilson went to score six points in the second frame as part of 13-7 surge that allowed IHS to open up a 31-24 advantage headed into the break. Charlie Large and Trent Milleson collectively cranked out 14 points during a 15-14 Ironton run to start the second half, giving the hosts a 46-38 edge headed into the finale. The Fighting Tigers twice led by 11 points down the stretch, but a Cory Call layup with 4:25 left in regulation capped an 8-2 charge that pulled the deficit to within a basket at 48-46. Ironton retaliated with four quick points to extend the lead back out to 52-46 with 2:20 left, then Loveday picked up his fifth and final foul with 1:34 remaining. Wilson sank both free throws for a 54-46 lead. Bailey Walked capped an 8-2 run with an oldfashioned 3-point play with 47 seconds remaining, but the Blue and White were ultimately never closer than the 56-54 deficit.

Rebels fend off Federal Hocking, 58-48 By Alex Hawley ahawley@aimmediamidwest.com MERCERVILLE, Ohio —Despite the slow start, the Rebels are back in the win column. The South Gallia boys basketball team trailed by eight points after four minutes of play in Friday’s Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division tilt in Gallia County, but the host Rebels shook it off and snapped their two-game skid with a 58-48 victory over Federal Hocking. The Lancers (0-4, 0-2 TVC Hocking) scored the first six points of the game and stretched their advantage to 10-2 by the four minute mark. South Gallia (3-2, 2-1) scored five straight points to make it a one possession game, but Federal Hocking tallied the final two points of the quarter and headed into the second with a 12-7 edge. After a Rebel twopointer to start the stanza, The Maroon and Gold hit back-to-back buckets and led 16-9 with 6:30 left in the half. FHHS was held without a field goal for the remainder of the period, as the Rebels went on an 11-to-2 run to take a 20-18 lead into halftime. South Gallia — which never trailed in the second half — connected on a trio of three-pointers in the third quarter, stretching their lead to 38-31 Alex Hawley|OVP Sports South Gallia senior Eli Ellis shoots a floater in between a trio of Lancers, during the Rebels’ 58-48 win on Friday in Mercerville, with eight minutes to play. SGHS made its advantage double-digits with a 6-to-3 run to start the finale, but the Lancers cut the margin back to six points with six minutes to play. However, Federal Hocking never got closer, as the Rebels closed the 58-48 win with a 14-to-9 spurt. Second-year SGHS head coach Kent Wolfe talked about using last season’s home loss to the Lancers as added motivation for his team, and what eventually propelled his squad to victory. “They came in last year and beat us here,” Wolfe said. “We were looking to take care of some business here. We got off to a poor start, but our defense kept us in it. We wanted to rely on the three-point shot too much early, but then we started taking it inside. “I thought our half court defense was very good. They do a great job with ball-screens and rolling off of ball-screens, that hurt us a couple of times, but overall we did a real nice job on it.” Along with his team’s defense, Wolfe also noted that changing the tempo helped the Rebels seal their third win of the year. “I thought the press got it to a tempo that we like, 20-18 at halftime is not our tempo,” Wolfe said. “We were able to press, get some shots, make some and get the tempo where we wanted it. Federal Hocking has a very nice team, they do a very nice job controlling the tempo, but I thought we did a good job in spurts of pushing the tempo and making them a little bit uncomfortable.” The Rebels made 21-of55 (38.2 percent) of their field goal attempts, including 7-of-23 (30.4 percent) three-point tries. FHHS shot 18-of-54 (33.3 percent) from the field, including 3-of-20 (15 percent) from deep. SGHS was 9-of-18 (50 percent) from the foul line, where the Lancers were 9-of-12 (75 percent). Federal Hocking won the rebounding battle by a 35-to-26 clip, including a narrow 9-to-8 edge in offensive boards. South Gallia finished with team totals of 13 assists, nine steals, one rejection and 16 turnovers, while the Lancers combined for 12 assists, seven steals, two rejections and 19 turnovers. SGHS senior Braxton Hardy led the hosts with 15 points, coming on one triple, five two-pointers and a pair of free throws.

The Wahama girls basketball team hit just two of its first 21 shot attempts and ultimately never recovered from the slow start Thursday evening during a 52-45 setback to visiting Belpre in a TriValley Conference Hocking Division contest at Gary Clark Court in Mason County. The Lady Falcons (2-2, 2-2 TVC Hocking) managed to hit two of their first nine shot attempts while jumping out to a small 5-4 advantage at the 3:39 mark of the first quarter, but the hosts missed their final 10 shots as the Golden Lady Eagles (6-2, 4-1) made a 3-0 run to secure a 7-5 edge through eight minutes of play. BHS followed by hitting half of its first dozen shot attempts in the second canto, and the Red and White went almost eight minutes without field goal as the guests extended their lead out to 22-12 with 1:03 left in regulation. Wahama — which had seven turnovers and seven shot attempts in the second frame — ended the half with consecutive baskets and a 4-0 run to close the deficit down to 22-16 at the break. The Orange and Black hit half of their first eight shot attempts, and a Kaitlin Richards basket at the 3:20 mark made it 31-18. The Lady Falcons, however, held BHS without a field goal during a 7-1 surge that pulled the deficit down to 32-25 headed into the finale. Hannah Rose cut the lead down to six points with a free throw 19 seconds in, but Belpre answered with a quick 10-0 run on 5-of-6 shooting that resulted in the largest lead of the game at 42-26 with 5:27 remaining. Rose — who was limited to 10 points through three frames — followed with a trio of 3-pointers as part of a 14-4 charge over three minutes, allowing the hosts to close within 46-40 with 2:30 left. Wahama ultimately closed the gap to 49-45 after a pair of Lauren Noble free throws with six seconds left, but Kyna Waderker mustered the last of her 12 fourth quarter By Bryan Walters 13 total field goals — but zero trifectas — and also went 4-of-11 at the free throw line for WINFIELD, W.Va. — 36 percent.

The Lady Falcons currently have seven healthy players, while Belpre was able to use nine different players over the course of the game. WHS coach John Arnott quickly noted that the start wasn’t beneficial, especially with a limited amount of rest time over the remainder of the game. But, Arnott was also very impressed with how his troops continued to fight through somewhat of a struggling evening. “The first quarter killed us, but I was very pleased that the kids didn’t quit,” Arnott said. “We don’t have a lot of depth and that caught up with us, but we still managed to turn some double-digit deficits into a two-possession game. “We battled through a lot of adversity in this game and we still managed to keep it competitive. Everybody wants to win, but we put ourselves in a position to have a chance at the end. We just need to have a little more balance.” Wahama outrebounded the guests by a 37-35 overall margin, including a 15-12 edge on the offensive glass. The hosts also committed 23 turnovers, three more than the Lady Golden Eagles. The Lady Falcons netted 13-of- 49 field goal attempts for 27 percent, including a 3-of-7 effort from behind the arc for 43 percent. WHS was also 16-of-24 at the free throw line for 67 percent. Rose paced Wahama with a game-high 23 points, followed by Emma Gibbs with a doubledouble effort of 12 points and 16 rebounds. Lauren Noble was next with five points, while Aleisia Barnitz and Harley Roush respectively completed things with four points and one point. Noble followed Gibbs with seven rebounds and Rose also grabbed five boards. Gibbs also had four blocked shots in the setback. The Golden Lady Eagles made 22-of-51 shot attempts for 43 percent, including a 2-of-7 effort from 3-point range for 17 percent. BHS was just 6-of-20 at the charity stripe for 30 percent. Waderker paced Belpre with 22 points and a dozen rebounds, followed by Curstin Giffin with nine markers and six caroms. Richards was next with seven points, while Sydney Spencer and Abbey LaFatch contributed four points apiece.

Marauders fall to Alexander Spartans, 64-53 Tomcats fend off Wahama, 49-37 By Alex Hawley By Bryan Walters ALBANY, Ohio — The roller-coaster start continues. The Meigs boys basketball team is back to .500 on the year, after dropping a 64-53 decision to TriValley Conference Ohio Division host Alexander on Friday in Athens County. Meigs (3-3, 1-1 TVC Ohio) — which has alternated wins and losses to this point in the season — trailed by double-digits eight minutes into play, as Alexander (4-0, 2-0) started with a 16-to-6 run. The Marauders snapped out of it and outscored the Spartans by a 15-to-12 count in the second period, making the AHS lead 28-21 at halftime. The hosts’ advantage was back to double digits, at 43-31, after the third period, in which Alexander outscored Meigs by a 15-to-10 clip. The Marauders poured in 22 points over the final eight minutes, but the Spartans scored 21 to seal the 64-53 triumph and stay unbeaten. The Maroon and Gold made 19-of-53 (35.8 percent) field goal attempts, including 6-of-16 (37.5 percent) three-point tries. Meanwhile, Alexander shot 19-of-42 (45.2 percent) from the field, including 3-of-12 (25 percent) from deep. At the free throw line, Meigs was 9-of-11 (81.8 percent), while AHS was 23-of-29 (79.3 percent). Alexander outrebounded Meigs by a 34-to-28 clip. The Maroon and Gold had team totals of six assists, five steals, one block and 15 turnovers, while AHS finished with nine assists, six steals, four rejections and 13 turnovers. Zach Bartrum led the Marauders with 14 points, half of which came from the charity stripe. Weston Baer posted 13 points and four assists for the guests, while Coulter Cleland hit a team-best three triples and finished with a dozen markers. Nick Lilly scored six points and grabbed a teambest seven rebounds for Meigs, Cooper Darst added four points, while Wyatt Hoover and Ty Bartrum chipped in with two points apiece. Dylan Mecum led the victors with 16 points, including six from long range.

Matt Brown ended up with seven points, Stone Markins-Irwin came in with three, Luke Chapman scored two, while Kaleb Easley and Trey Schaller finished with a point apiece. Meigs will have its chance to avenge this setback on Jan. 18 in Rocksprings. The Marauders will be back on the court at Vinton County on Tuesday. bwalters@aimmediamidwest.com MASON, W.Va. — It was hardly beginner’s luck. Trimble made a pivotal 15-4 second quarter surge and held the Wahama boys basketball team scoreless over the final 4:58 of that span, ultimately allowing the guests to break away for a 49-37 victory on Friday night in a Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division contest at Gary Clark Court in Mason County. The Tomcats (1-0, 1-0 TVC Hocking) were making a late season debut after finishing as the Division VII state runners-up in football two weeks ago, but the guests managed to keep pace with the White Falcons (0-4, 0-2) after coming to a 10-all tie eight minutes in. The hosts fell behind 12-10 a minute into the second frame, but a pair of Jacob Lloyd baskets gave Wahama its final lead of the night at 14-12 with 4:59 remaining in the half. THS, however, hit 5-of-9 shots in the second frame and went on a 13-0 charge over the final 3:58, giving the Tomcats a comfortable 25-14 advantage at the break. Jonathan Frye hit a field goal 17 seconds into the third canto, allowing the White Falcons to close the gap down to nine points. WHS ended up never being closer the rest of the way.

Trimble outrebounded WHS by a 33-19 overall margin, including a 10-3 edge on the offensive glass. The guests committed 19 turnovers, one more than the White Falcons. Wahama — which played without injured starters Dakota Belcher and Jacob Warth inside — connected on 13-of-39 shot attempts for 33 percent, including a 4-of-15 effort from behind the arc for 27 percent. The hosts were also 7-of-17 at the free throw line for 41 percent.

No real implications for home-field advantage in the AFC. Not much hype either, at least not the kind that typically accompanies a meeting between the New England Patriots and Pittsburgh Steelers. Not with both teams coming off the kind of numbing road losses that can linger for weeks if not handled properly. Yes, the Patriots (9-4) and Steelers (7-5-1) still lead their divisions, even if it doesn’t necessarily feel like it. Not after the New England found itself on the wrong end of the “Miami Miracle” last week while Pittsburgh slipped to a third straight defeat in Oakland , one that left its postseason prospects iffy at best. “It’s not ideal, but we are in (first),” Steelers defensive end Cam Heyward said. “We haven’t won the games we’re supposed to and that’s on us. … But there’s still a lot on the line.” Particularly for Pittsburgh. The Steelers lead Baltimore by just a half- game in the AFC North. Pittsburgh will reach the playoffs for a fifth consecutive season by winning its final three games. It makes the math pretty easy. The task itself is considerably harder considering New England’s mastery over Pittsburgh for the better part of two decades. The Patriots have won each of the past five games between the two perennial AFC powers, including a 27-24 victory at Heinz Field last season that included a chaotic fourth quarter featuring a New England rally and an overturned call on a seemingly obvious go-ahead touchdown grab by Steelers tight end Jesse James in the final minute that ultimately led to an NFL rule change. While Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger shrugged off his team’s spotty record when facing Tom Brady — who is 11-2 all-time against Pittsburgh — by pointing out “we are not the only team that has issues with them” — he’s well aware his club’s margin for error has vanished. Bryan Walters|OVP Sports Point Pleasant sophomore Wyatt Wilson locks in a hold on a Riverside opponent during a 152-pound match at the Jason Eades Memorial Duals tournament on Dec. 8 at Point Pleasant, W.Va. Point pounds Patriots, Huskies By Bryan Walters bwalters@aimmediamidwest.com POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. — Good morning double-A, this is your official wake-up call. The Point Pleasant wrestling team sent a state-wide message to the rest of the Class AA programs in West Virginia on Thursday night following a pair of resounding victories over Independence and Herbert Hoover in a trimeet held at The Dungeon in Mason County. The Big Blacks — who entered their Alumni Night tri-meet ranked second in Class AA — left little doubt about their grappling capabilities after posting wins of 57 and 33 points against the sixthranked Huskies and the top-ranked Patriots. PPHS collectively posted a 22-6 overall mark in the two headto-head competitions, which included records of 8-4 against Independence and 10-2 against HHHS. The Big Blacks defeated IHS 54-21 and also handed the Huskies a 69-12 setback. The Patriots ended up defeating Herbert Hoover by a 40-35 overall margin in the other contest of the night. Point Pleasant had 16 different grapplers compete between the two contests, and the hosts ended up finishing the night with 10 wrestlers going unbeaten. The Big Blacks also recorded pinfall wins in all but six of their 22 victories. In all, it was an extremely impressive and productive night for Point Pleasant … and PPHS coach John Bonecutter paid respect to his troops after such a dominant performance. “These were big wins for us. I am very excited with how we wrestled tonight,” Bonecutter said. “The kids really stepped up and took care of business tonight. We definitely have some momentum moving forward.” Mackandle Freeman (113), Christopher Smith (120), Derek Raike (126), Justin Bartee (132), George Smith (138), Wyatt Wilson (152), Juan Marquez (195) and Wyatt Stanley (285) all posted perfect 2-0 marks in their respective weight classes. Freeman, Raike, Marquez, Stanley and George Smith all recorded a pair of pinfall wins, while Bartee and Christopher Smith added a pinfall win apiece. Isaac Short and Parker Henderson both went 1-0 at 106 pounds, with Henderson recording a pinfall victory. Mitchell Freeman (145), Zac Samson (160), Logan Southall (170) and Nazar Abbas (182) completed the evening with identical 1-1 records in their respective weight classes. Samson, Southall and Abbas also scored a pinfall victory each. Short (14-0), Henderson (15-0), Bartee (15-0) and Wilson (10-0) are still unbeaten this season through three events.

Bengals try to maintain slim chance CINCINNATI (AP) — Joe Mixon had one of the best games of his career in yet another Bengals loss — making it seven of their past eight, and counting. He sees no reason to slow down even as another season slips away in Cincinnati. “Right now, we are down but we ain’t out, so that’s how I’m approaching it,” the second-year running back said. “I’m going to approach it like we’re in.” Technically, the lastplace Bengals (5-8) aren’t eliminated from playoff contention despite their thirdlongest losing streak in coach Marvin Lewis’ 16 seasons. They could still get the AFC North title if they win out and the Steelers, Ravens and Browns all fall apart the rest of the way. A loss Sunday to the Raiders (3-10) would eliminate the pretense and leave Cincinnati with a third straight losing season and a lot of big questions to address in the offseason: Does Lewis stay? Who’s the next defensive coordinator? Will anything really change so long as Mike Brown runs the franchise? By contrast, the Raiders are already in next-year mode. Following a 24-21 win over the Steelers , they fired general manager Reggie McKenzie and launched into a front-office reshuffle in preparation for coach Jon Gruden’s second season back with the Raiders. They don’t have a general manager and they’re not sure where they’ll be playing next season before moving to Las Vegas in 2020, but all that’s for later. First, they have to finish a season in flux. “When you get here, it’s just rainbows and butterflies because you made it to the NFL,” quarterback Derek Carr said. “All of a sudden, you get new friends every year.

The IOC normally awards Olympics seven years before they’re scheduled, though that calendar has been in flux because so many cities have dropped out. Last year, the IOC handed out the 2024 and 2028 Summer Games at the same time because there were only two cities left in what began as a much bigger contest for 2024. Paris will host 2024, Los Angeles will host 2028, and if Salt Lake wins 2030, it would mark the first time since the IOC began staggering the Games two years apart, in 1994, that the same country has hosted back-to-back. At this time, Salt Lake could be considered a favorite in a 2030 contest that hasn’t really taken shape yet. Hirshland said the USOC has the luxury of time to refine Salt Lake City’s bid.

In the aftermath, Park City and other mountain towns near Salt Lake City preserved and improved upon many of the venues, and continued hosting key international events. The freestyle world championships will be held in Park City in February. Utah organizers say they could host the games for $1.35 billion, some $50 billion less than it cost in Russia for the 2014 Sochi Games, which are the most expensive games ever and stood out as a blaring warning signal that the IOC needed to streamline its bloated Olympic structure.

Union for D-3 title, 24-16 SHENANDOAH, Texas (AP) — After falling to Mount Union last year in the Division III championship game, Mary Hardin-Baylor not only wanted to get back to the title game — and beat the Purple Raiders. The Crusaders did that Friday night. Jase Hammack threw for 147 yards and two touchdowns, Markeith Miller rushed for 90 yards and a score and Mary Hardin-Baylor won its second title in three years, beating Mount Union 24-16. Hammack rebounded after losing a fumble in the first that led to the Purple Raiders’ lone touchdown by completing 11 of 19 passes and rallying the Crusaders (15-0) from a 10-0 deficit. T.J. Josey caught five passes for 78 yards and a touchdown for Mary HardinBaylor, which lost to the Raiders (14-1) 12-0 last year in the Amos Alonzo Stagg Bowl. “The goal since the beginning of fall camp was to get back here and have a shot at Mount Union just because of the way last year ended,” Mary Hardin-Baylor coach Pete Fredenburg said. “I think it says an awful lot about these players and coaches that kept pushing and kept driving. It’s incredible.” D’Angelo Fulford was 18 of 37 for 194 yards and rushed for 45 yards, and had a 1-yard touchdown run to put Mount Union up 10-0 - the first time the Crusaders have trailed this season — with 3 1/2 minutes left in the first quarter. Josh Petruccelli added 57 rushing yards and Justin Hill caught five passes for 71 yards for the Raiders. Both teams finished with 303 yards. “I thought we were fortunate to get some points on the board early,” Mount Union coach Vince Kehres said. “We took advantage of the turnover there and extended a drive with the fake punt. They have a great defense. Nobody’s scoring a lot of points on that defense. They executed pretty well down the stretch, and we couldn’t quite finish a couple of plays.” Trailing 24-13, the Raiders cut the lead to eight on Cory Barnett’s third field goal with seven minutes left. After stopping Mary Hardin-Baylor a yard short on a fourthand-2 at the Crusaders 40, Mount Union’s drive stalled at Mary HardinBaylor 16 with two straight incompletions with a minute left. Following a three-andout by Mary Hardin-Baylor, Mount Union had one last chance, but Fulford was sacked by Khevon Shepard and injured on third-and-10. Mount Union’s lateral play on fourth down failed. Hammack found Josey for a 36-yard touchdown pass, which Josey caught falling into the end zone with 1:27 remaining in the first quarter. Miller gave the Crusaders a 14-13 lead with a 2-yard touchdown run right before halftime. “We always felt like that when you get into a game like this with so much significance, the key thing was to maintain the confidence level that we have, don’t panic,” Fredenburg said. “Everything is going to take care of itself. We felt like we could play with Mount Union. We felt like our team was a team of destiny.” After Anthony Avila’s field goal in the third quarter, Hammack upped the lead to 24-13 midway through the fourth, finding K.J. Miller for a 16-yard touchdown pass. Bucks beat Cavaliers, 114-102 Senators ask FBI to investigate CLEVELAND (AP) — Giannis Antetokounmpo played as if he had a point to prove. The Milwaukee star rebounded from his worst game of the season to match his career high with 44 points and the Bucks beat the Cleveland Cavaliers 114-102 on Friday night despite missing two starters. Two nights after being held to a season-low 12 points in a loss to Indiana, he was 14 of 19 from the field, made 16 of 21 foul shots, and had 14 rebounds and eight assists. “You’ve got to put that game in the past,” Antetokounmpo said. “You put it in the past and move forward.” Khris Middleton, the Bucks’ second leading scorer, was out with a sprained right finger. Malcolm Brogdon, fourth on the team in scoring, didn’t play because of a sore left hamstring. Bucks coach Mike Budenholzer wasn’t surprised Antetokounmpo took over with his team short-handed. “Obviously, a monster game for Giannis,” he Blackmun for lying to panel By Eddie Pells that nobody on the USOC staff could corroborate Blackmun’s account of a meeting.

He wants to be great.” Asked what a team can do to slow down Antetokounmpo, Cavaliers coach Larry Drew said, “There’s not an answer to that. He’s a terrific player. He’s elevated his game over the years. He can hurt you in so many different ways.” Not only was Antetokounmpo coming off a subpar game, Wednesday’s 113-97 loss was Milwaukee’s largest margin of the season. Antetokounmpo made an instant impression after Milwaukee won the opening tip when he dunked on Osman on a set play in the halfcourt offense. to acting attorney general Matthew Whitaker and FBI director Christopher Wray. “The Subcommittee takes its oversight role seriously, and it appears that Mr. Blackmun has made false claims and misled our Subcommittee — harming the investigation and ability to develop policy,” the Senators said in a statement. “Just as importantly, survivors of abuse have had to wait longer for the truth and longer for systemic changes to help prevent others from similar injury.” Blackmun did not immediately return requests for comment from The Associated Press.
