Bruce Wolfe of Wolfe Mountain Entertainment and member of the Meigs County Bicentennial planning committee was in attendance to give an update on the plans for the celebration as well as discuss the Meigs County Bicentennial Celebration Ambassador program. The Meigs County Bicentennial Celebration is set for Friday, April 26 and Saturday, April 27, 2019. The planning committee members have been busy solidifying the plans and the merchandise for the event. A parade and several other activities are being planned for the weekend. Wolfe commented the members have been visiting local schools to discuss the celebration and the ambassador program and have plans to visit the Pomeroy and Middleport village councils in January. Wolfe explained the planning committee is searching for one male and one female ambassador for the celebration. According to the Wolfe Mountain Entertainment website, the ambassadors will participate in marketing and media campaigns, participate in the parade performance, speak in public to promote celebration activities, and will represent the celebration activities surrounding the bicentennial events. Wolfe said they are looking for individuals who are at least 15 years of age and are native to Meigs County or currently live in Meigs County. This individual needs to demonstrate to the planning committee how “obnoxiously proud” they are of Meigs County and be an upbeat, positive, genuine individual. Each ambassador will be awarded a $2,000 self directed, self improvement enrichment fund. For entry, the applicant can apply online at Wolfe Mountain Entertainment’s Facebook page or website (http:// www.wolfemountain. com) or can visit the Meigs County Bicentennial Facebook page. Deadline for entry is Saturday, Jan. 19, 2019 at 5 p.m. Also, Wolfe added applications for parade registration will be up on the Meigs County Bicentennial Facebook page later this week. In other business, Wolfe shared Wolfe Mountain Entertainment has been discussing the idea of having a parade near Halloween in correspondence with See APPLICATIONS | 3 Erin Perkins | OVP Meigs County Commissioners Mike Bartrum, Randy Smith, and Tim Ihle discussing agenda items at Thursday’s commission meeting.

COLUMBUS — Ohio House Republicans have picked Speaker Ryan Smith to continue leading the chamber next session, according to the Associated Press. The AP reported “Smith won 34 votes in a closed-door caucus meeting Thursday. He’ll need 50 to prevail in a formal vote to be taken Jan. 7, the first day of the new two-year legislative session. Some votes could come from Democrats. Smith prevailed over rival candidate Larry Householder, a Perry County Republican and former House speaker. Some Householder supporters opposed Thursday’s vote on a technicality and boycotted it. The speakership contest has prompted months of tension in the House. The Smith and Householder camps have jockeyed for control since Republican Speaker Cliff Rosenberger resigned in April amid an FBI probe.” In a statement from the Ohio House of Representatives Majority Communications Department, officials said, “a majority of Ohio House Republican members selected their leadership team for the 133rd General Assembly. Current Speaker of the Ohio House, Ryan Smith (R-Bidwell), was again selected by his legislative peers to serve as Speaker.” Additionally, State Representative Rick Carfagna (R-Genoa Township) will serve as Speaker Pro Tempore, Rep. Bill Seitz (R-Cincinnati) will continue to serve as the Majority Floor Leader, and Rep. Sarah LaTourette (R-Chesterland) will continue to serve as Assistant Majority Floor Leader. The House Republican Whip team will again include Rep. Tom Patton (R-Strongsville) as the Majority Whip and Rep. Bill Reineke (R-Tiffin) as the Assistant Majority Whip.

Sisak Steady drop in rape cases closed by police Associated Press 65% NEW YORK — The #MeToo movement is empowering victims of sexual assault to speak up like never before, but what should be a watershed moment for holding assailants accountable has coincided with a troubling trend: Police departments in the U.S. are becoming less and less likely to successfully close rape investigations. The so-called “clearance rate” for rape cases fell last year to its lowest point since at least the 1960s, according to FBI data provided to The Associated Press. That nadir may be driven, at least in part, by a greater willingness by police to correctly classify rape cases and leave them open even when there is little hope of solving them. But experts say it also reflects the fact that not enough resources are being devoted to investigating sexual assault at a time when more victims are entrusting police with their harrowing experiences. “This is the second-most serious crime in the FBI’s crime index,” said Carol Tracy, executive director of the Women’s Law Project in Philadelphia, “and it simply doesn’t get the necessary resources from police.” Police successfully closed just 32 percent of rape investigations nationwide in 2017, according to the data, ranking it second only to robbery as the least-solved violent crime. That statistic is down from about 62 percent in 1964, despite advances such as DNA testing. The FBI provided The AP with 60 62% 55 Percentage of reported rape cases closed by police 50 45 40 35 32% 30 1964 1970 1980 1990 2000 2010 2017 SOURCE: FBI a dataset of rape statistics dating back to the early 1960s — a table that includes more complete data than the snapshot the bureau releases each fall. The grim report card has prompted debate among criminal justice experts, with some attributing the falling clearance rate to an antiquated approach to investigations. “You’d figure with all the new technology — and the fact that the overwhelming majority of victims of sexual assault know their attacker — the clearance rates would be a lot higher,” said Joseph Giacalone, a former New York City police sergeant who teaches at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice. “It’s almost as if forensics and DNA has let us down,” he said. Experts agree that sexual assault is one of the most confounding crimes police confront. Many investigations lack corroborating witnesses and physical evidence. A significant chunk of complaints are reported months or years after the fact. Researchers believe only a third of rapes are reported at all. Historically, some detectives also discouraged women from pursuing tough-to-prove charges against boyfriends, husbands or close acquaintances. The declining clearance rate could mean that investigators in some places are finally classifying rape investigations properly, said Kim Lonsway, research director at End Violence Against Women International. Rather than hastily “clearing” certain tough-to-solve cases, she said, some police departments have begun “suspending” them, meaning they remain open indefinitely. That leaves open the possibility there could someday be an arrest. the revolving loan fund agreement HOME/CHIP.

The surgical crew took me to a room. They discussed the procedure. I gave my consent in the form of a pathetic signature. Then, I gave my consent again because the first signature was a straight line. I was slightly nervous. But before I knew it, I was sound Teen asleep with anesthesia. Testimony The surgery went well. Isaiah I remember nothing. Pauley As I escaped anesthesia’s strong grasp, I pointed to the sky and mumbled words. That’s what they told me. I like to say I came out preaching. According to the surgeon, my wisdom teeth had some of the deepest roots he’d ever seen. Little did he know, his statement gave me a sermon. I’m not writing about wisdom teeth. I’m writing about wisdom. I don’t care about the depth of my wisdom teeth roots. But I really care about how deep my roots are with Jesus Christ. “And now, just as you accepted Christ Jesus as your Lord, you must continue to follow him. Let your roots grow down into him, and let your lives be built on him. Then your faith will grow strong in the truth you were taught, and you will overflow with thankfulness” (Col. 2:6-7 NLT). Let’s talk about tree roots for a moment. You can’t see them. You don’t admire them. You don’t take selfies with them. But without those roots, a tree dies. The health of a tree depends on the depth of its roots. On a spiritual note, the health of a human depends on how deep his or her roots are in Jesus. There’s a story about Jesus cursing a fig tree. “On the following day, when they came from Bethany, he [Jesus] was hungry. And seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, he went to see if he could find anything on it. When he came to it, he found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs” (Mark 11:12-13 ESV). A fig tree is supposed to bear fruit when it’s full of leaves. The tree appeared to have fruit. But upon closer inspection, the tree was fruitless. This made Jesus hangry. “And he said to it, ‘May no one ever eat fruit from you again.’ And his disciples heard it” (v. 14 ESV). After this story, Mark describes the time Jesus clears the Temple. “And they came to Jerusalem. And he entered the temple and began to drive out those who sold and those who bought in the temple, and he overturned the tables of the moneychangers and the seats of those who sold pigeons” (v. 15 ESV). Wow! Jesus goes from cursing a fig tree to throwing shade in the Temple. Has the Messiah gone mad? Nah. But He is angry. The Jews had become an appearance-driven people. Like the fig tree, they appeared to produce fruit for God. Like the Temple, they looked good on the outside. But behind closed doors, they were a mess. I’m afraid this sounds like a handful of people today. As the Scriptures continue, the fig tree is mentioned again. “As they passed by in the morning, they saw the fig tree withered away to its roots. And Peter remembered and said to him, ‘Rabbi, look! The fig tree that you cursed has withered’” (v. 20-21 ESV). The tree was “withered away to its roots.” The foundation didn’t sustain. The tree didn’t live. Friends, how strong are your roots in Jesus Christ? Maybe you can relate to the Israelites. Maybe you appear to follow Jesus from the outside. But upon closer inspection, you’re fruitless. Maybe your religious pretense appears strong, but behind closed doors, you’re full of sin. If so, there’s no better time to start digging into Jesus than right now. Paul writes, “In him [Jesus] lie hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. I am telling you this so no one will deceive you with well-crafted arguments” (Col. 2:3-4 NLT). As 2019 approaches, you’re probably thinking about ways you need to improve. Me too. But in a culture full of self-help gurus and self-centered psychology, I’m writing about God’s Word. Don’t forsake practical advice. But deeper roots in Jesus Christ is the best resolution you can make. Let’s grow deeper roots in Jesus this year.

A few minutes before midnight, I slipped out of bed, and sat down in the Lazy Boy chair. I waited patiently for the time. By midnight, I calculated that all the Branches would be bedded down for a long winter nap. I was going to call them all, and wake them up for a change! After all, they had always gotten us up super early on Christmas morning. This year I planned to beat them to the punch. The plan was to wake them up, and have them let me talk to one of their kids, whom I would tell to get their parents up right then to open gifts. I was jingling with excitement and laughing all the way. Here was the layout: Micaiah and Alexandria were on a trip to New York. Jamin and Morgan were with Ron, labor you with our Holly, and Justus in Christmas particuMartinsburg, West lars when you had Virginia.

But, before I When it comes to the could start the call, Micaiah interrupted things. He called things of God, man has always tried to beat God thinking I would already to the punch.

When If Jesus Christ is not fully divine, there can be no true Terry stirred and realized salvation. what was happening, she That, of course, is the snickered at me. Now, I have not meant to whole point of it all. Man wants to plan out his own way of salvation. That is why holding true to the Christmas story is so important. When God incarnated Himself in human flesh in the birth of Jesus Christ, He set up the plan which proved that none of us can do anything to provide salvation for ourselves. The Virgin Birth is the key. The Virgin Birth preserved the absolute divinity of Jesus Christ. The Virgin Birth halted the progression of sin that otherwise would have caused to be useless the perfect effect of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the Cross. We might attempt to diminish the divinity of Jesus Christ, or we might try to out plan God on the Lord’s birth issue, but God has already beat us to the punch. In the mean time, just as I was slipping into la-la land, Jeshua called. It was 2:30 a.m. I have got to come up with a better plan for next Christmas, for sure. Any suggestions?

We have all done that, haven’t we? Perhaps we were reading a book and put it down and then later couldn’t remember where we put it. Maybe we were watching television and couldn’t remember where we put the remote control. I have even put my coffee cup in the microwave oven and later couldn’t remember where it was. What do we do when God’s Kids we misplace something? We usually Korner retrace our steps to all of the places Pastor Ann we have been until we find it. Moody Our Bible lesson today is from Luke 2: 41-51 and about some parents who misplaced something. Now, these weren’t just any parents — it was Mary and Joseph — the parents of Jesus. Mary and Joseph didn’t misplace something like a book or some keys. They misplaced Jesus! Here is how it happened. Mary and Joseph went to Jerusalem every year for the Feast of the Passover. When Jesus was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem just as they always did. After Passover, they began their journey home, but Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem. Joseph and Mary didn’t know it. They thought He was with some friends or family members who were traveling with them. After they had gone a day’s journey, they began to look for Jesus among their relatives and friends, but He wasn’t there. When they couldn’t find Him, they were very worried, so they decided to return to Jerusalem to look for Him. After searching for three days, they finally found Him. Guess where He was? He was in the temple, sitting in the middle of the teachers, both listening to them, and asking them questions. When Mary and Joseph saw Him, they were astonished. His mother asked him, “Son, why have you treated us this way? Your father and I were so scared that something had happened and were looking for You everywhere.” Jesus answered, “Why were you looking for Me? Didn’t you know that I must be in my Father’s house?” You see, even as a child, Jesus knew that He must follow the path that His heavenly Father had laid out for Him, and at that moment, the most important place for Him to be was in His Father’s house - the temple. Sometimes you and I may lose Jesus too. We get so busy in our daily routine that we never give Him a thought. Then, one day we realize that He is missing from our lives. Do you know what we need to do when that happens? We need to retrace our steps and go back to the place we left Him. Where do we usually find Him? In His Father’s house - the church! Jesus said it was important for Him to be in His Father’s house. It is also important for you and me to be in His Father’s house too every week. Why? Because His Father’s house is our Father’s house too! It is a house of worship, a house of prayer, a house of peace, a house of love, a house of joy. What better place could there be for a child of God than to be in the Father’s house? Many of you already attend a church. If not, ask your parents or a friend to take you to a church this Sunday - God’s house. Let’s say a prayer together. Dear Father, we come into Your house to worship You. Thank You for giving us a place to worship, pray, and find Christian love. Help us to remember that there is no better place for your children to be than in Your house every week. Amen. Happy New Year!

Cleveland’s quarterback was voted winner of the Joe Thomas Award, player of the year, on Wednesday by the local chapter of the Pro Football Writers of America. In addition, Mayfield, whose play has sparked the biggest one-season turnaround in club history, was named AFC Offensive Player of the Week after throwing three touchdown passes in a win over Cincinnati. BEREA, Ohio (AP) — Baker Mayfield went from scowling at Hue Jackson to glaring at critics. Three days after he tried to embarrass his former coach with a prolonged stare down in the closing minutes of Cleveland’s win over Cincinnati, Mayfield owned up to his actions and then said he doesn’t regret them. “I don’t get why people have a problem with football being a competitive sport,” Mayfield said Wednesday as the Browns (7-7-1) prepared for their season finale in Baltimore. “You’re supposed to play with emotion. You’re supposed to play with passion. Quite honestly, if you don’t like it, whatever. Football is not meant to be a soft game. I could care less.” With the Browns clinging to an eight-point lead Sunday, Mayfield connected with tight end David Njoku for a gamesealing 66-yard gain. As he ran past Cincinnati’s sideline, the rookie quarterback looked directly at Jackson, who was fired earlier this season by the Browns. Mayfield then kept his eyes trained on Jackson as he shuffled and backpedaled his way down the field. Following the game, the No. 1 overall pick, who has guided the Browns to the biggest one-season turnaround in franchise history, said “No idea what you’re talking about” when asked about his antics, which came a few weeks after he gave Jackson the cold shoulder following a game in Cincinnati and called his former coach “fake” on social media. The glowering gaze — and an earlier crude gesture he performed on the sideline after throwing a touchdown pass — drew criticism that Mayfield simply dismissed. He’s not going to change his act. “I’ve said it, I’m not a cookie-cutter quarterback, but everybody is different,” Mayfield said. “Everybody leads a different way. Everybody is competitive in a different way. I’m not trying to be anybody else. I’ve been who I am and that’s gotten me here. I’m going to continue to do that because I try to improve every week. I’m not trying See MAYFIELD | 7 OSU, Washington welcome a more traditional Rose Bowl ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — It will be a Rose Bowl of firsts when No. 5 Ohio State faces No. 9 Washington. The Buckeyes and Huskies will meet for the first time in the Granddaddy of Them All, despite each team making its 15th appearance. The Big Ten and Pac-12 champions will meet for the first time since 2014 and for the first time since the introduction of the College Football Playoff the following year. Urban Meyer and Chris Petersen will each be making his first appearance in the game as a head coach. New additions to old traditions mean the Rose Bowl is no consolation prize for teams that had national championship aspirations. “I think this is how it’s supposed to be,” Washington running back Myles Gaskin said Wednesday as the teams visited the Disneyland Resort. For Ohio State (12-1), visits to Pasadena have been few and far between in spite of their success this century. The Buckeyes won their ninth conference title since 2002 this season but are playing in the Rose Bowl for just the second time in that span. Jim Tressel led Ohio State to a 26-17 win over Oregon in the 2010 Rose Bowl for his only appearance in the storied game, and Meyer’s third Big Ten title team is bringing him to California for the first time. Ohio State won the inaugural CFP after the 2014 season, and the Buckeyes defeated Southern California in the Cotton Bowl last season with the Rose Bowl hosting what would be an instant classic semifinal between Georgia and Oklahoma. Meyer is set to retire after the Rose Bowl and said his career would have felt incomplete without leading a team in the first and oldest bowl game. “To never have the opportunity to coach in the Rose Bowl and say I’m done, that would have been very hard,” Meyer said.

Syracuse faces off with WVU ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — It’s easy to tell that West Virginia has plenty of respect for Syracuse quarterback Eric Dungey, since at least one of the Mountaineers compared him to Will Grier. And that’s high praise. There is one distinct difference, of course: When the Orange (9-3) and the Mountaineers (8-3) renew their rivalry in the Camping World Bowl on Friday, Dungey will be on the field and Grier will not. West Virginia’s star quarterback ended his collegiate career a game early so he can begin preparing for the NFL draft, and the Mountaineers will have to deal with both his decision and the playmaking dynamo that is Dungey in this one. “He can make things happen in the air and, if he needs to, with his feet,” West Virginia defensive lineman Ezekiel Rose said. “They extend plays, he knows how to run, and he’s a very versatile guy. He brings everything. He’s actually really smart, so I’m expecting him to do some things like I see in practice from Will.” Dungey leads a Syracuse offense that is averaging 40.8 points per game and he does it in the dual-threat style — he’s one of three active quarterbacks with more than 8,000 career yards passing and another 1,000 rushing. He’s only es, but in bowl games it always seems like it’s the opposite. I think it’s going to come down to the two defenses, the special-teams play and the offenses of both teams will probably be third.” Here’s some other things to know going into Friday’s Syracuse-West Virginia matchup: Grier’s numbers Grier was stellar this season, completing 266 of 397 passes for 3,864 yards and 37 touchdowns. Allison is a pro-style quarterback, whose tendencies somewhat mimic Grier’s in that regard, while Lowe was recruited as more of a dual-threat player. Grier announced earlier this month that he would be sitting out to begin his draft preparations. The West Virginia Mountaineer celebrates a touchdown, during WVU’s win over Youngstown State on Sept. 8 in Morgantown, W.Va. Missing Mountaineers 29 rushing yards shy of 2,000 in his career, and his college finale will be his postseason debut. “It’s the first bowl game for basically everybody on the team,” Dungey said. “There’s just a lot going on.” Former Miami quarterback Jack Allison and freshman Trey Lowe will both get time as Grier’s replacements for the Mountaineers. Allison is 6 for 10 this season, and Lowe has yet to attempt a pass in 2018. “Guys can elevate pretty quickly when they’re not a backup anymore,” West Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen said. West Virginia averaged 42.3 points per game this season, and the Mountaineers still have plenty of options on the offensive side of the football. That’s why Syracuse coach Dino Babers thinks it’ll be the guys lining up against Dungey, Allison and Lowe who will decide the outcome on Friday. “I think it’s going to be very interesting,” Babers said. “Everyone keeps talking about the offens- Top offensive tackle Yodny Cajuste will join Grier in sitting out the bowl game for West Virginia, citing a desire to prepare “for the next chapter in my life.” Wide receiver Gary Jennings also won’t play in what would have been his collegiate finale, though his decision was because of injury — a high ankle sprain has nagged him for the better part of two months. He would like to play in the EastWest Shrine Game next month.

He earned something of a bad-boy reputation while at Oklahoma, where among other things, he grabbed his crotch while taunting Kansas players; tried to plant a Sooners flag in the middle of Ohio State’s field after a win; and got arrested for public intoxication and disorderly conduct during the offseason in Arkansas.

Yes and no. The 21-year-old Edmunds appeared to have Gronkowski stopped just short of a first down in the fourth quarter on Dec. 16 only to have Gronkowski extend his 6-foot-7 frame past the marker. Edmunds, giving away 6 inches and a good 50 pounds to Gronkowski, didn’t mope or waste a second trying to shake the cobwebs out. He went right back to work. It’s kind of his thing. The player who was a bit of a surprise first-round pick when the Steelers took him with the 28th overall pick in April has proven to be one of the few constants during an uneven season for Pittsburgh (8-6-1), which needs to beat Cincinnati in the regular-season finale on Sunday and hope Baltimore loses to Cleveland to win a third straight AFC North title. Edmunds has played 1,132 snaps through 15 weeks, tops on the team and the sixth-highest total in the league. Not bad considering he tore the labrum in his shoulder late better, that I can say he has done better than any tight end I have had, is what he is doing after the catch,” coach Kyle Shanahan said. “He does a good job beating man coverage, and does a good job in his routes and does a great job blocking. But when that ball is in the air, the play is just starting. He is trying to catch it. He runs angry and runs confidently, that he expects to score on every look.” Here’s a look inside some more interesting numbers heading into Week 17: SPLENDID START: Cleveland’s Baker Mayfield heads into the final week with 24 TD passes, the second-most ever for a rookie. Mayfield needs three TD passes this week to break the record set by Peyton Manning in 1998. RECORD RECEPTIONS: McCaffrey and Philadelphia tight end Zach Ertz have already set receiving records. McCaffrey’s 106 receptions this season are the most ever by a running back, beating the mark of 102 for Forte in 2014. McCaffrey has also joined Forte and Hall of Famer LaDainian Tomlinson (2003) as the only players with at least 1,000 yards rushing and 100 catches in a single season. Ertz has 113 catches already this season, breaking the record of 110 set by Jason Witten in 2012. RUN TO DAYLIGHT: Running the ball has never been easier in the NFL, with the average carry going for 4.42 yards per attempt. That would be the highest mark for a season in the NFL since at least 1940. The previous high was 4.29 ypc in 2011. This season is also on pace for the fewest rush attempts per game with just 25.9, a tick below the 26.0 mark set in 2016.

Maybe it’s because he always felt like he belonged. Edmunds comes from a football family. His father, Ferrell was a Pro Bowl tight end for the Miami Dolphins in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Older brother Trey is both his teammate and his roommate after signing with the Steelers in September and younger brother Tremaine Edmunds is in the midst of his own solid rookie season as a linebacker in Buffalo.

He changed addresses again, leaving his Cleveland home for the second time to join the Los Angeles Lakers in the biggest move of free agency over the summer.

And even without a title, it may have been his most significant year. For the third time, James has been selected as The Associated Press Male Athlete of the Year — after 2018 saw him continue to excel on the court, open the “I Promise” school for at-risk children in his hometown of Akron, Ohio, and further use his voice as an activist who bristled at being told to “shut up and dribble.” “I would describe it Darren Abat | AP file The Los Angeles Lakers’ LeBron James (23) was named The Associated Press Male Athlete of the Year on Thursday.

And what’s most inspiring, and no surprise given his talent and focus, is how he’s done all of this while embracing his unique opportunity to positively impact communities in need.” James becomes the third man to win the award at least three times, joining Lance Armstrong (a fourtime winner from 2002 through 2005), Tiger Woods (1997, 1999, 2000 and 2006) and Michael Jordan (1991, 1992 and 1993). 6:30 7 PM 7:30 Wheel of Jeopardy!

It didn’t exactly turn out that way. Burnett spent most of training camp and much of the early season battling various injuries, forcing Edmunds to take on a starting role immediately. “When I first came in, just going out there, trying to put everything out there show Coach (Mike Tomlin) and (general manager Kevin) Colbert why they drafted me,” Edmunds said. “My mindset is always to go out there and try to play, whether it was special teams, defense or whatever.” Edmunds is third on the team LeBron James is the AP’s male athlete of 2018 Kelce, Kittle chase Gronkowski’s record for best TE season SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — Getting a Twitter follow from Travis Kelce was one of the major accomplishments this season for San Francisco 49ers second-year tight end George Kittle. Now heading into the final game of the season, Kittle is in a race with Kelce for the most productive season ever for a tight end. Kelce goes into Kansas City’s season finale against Oakland with 1,274 yards receiving, the fourth-most ever for a tight end. He needs 54 yards against the Raiders to break the mark set by New England’s Rob Gronkowski in 2011. But Kelce might need more than that to hold off Kittle, who goes into San Francisco’s finale against the Los Angeles Rams with 1,228 yards on the season and a chance to pass not only Gronkowski but also Kelce with a big game. Kelce and Kittle have put up their huge numbers this season in very different ways. Kelce is more a downfield threat, with his average catch coming 7.5 yards beyond the line of scrimmage, a number comparable to some of the most productive receivers in the league like Antonio Brown and Michael Thomas. Kittle does most of his work after the catch, gaining an average of 9.8 yards after making the catch — a number surpassed only by four running backs who make their average catch in the backfield. Kittle has 775 yards in all after the catch, trailing only Carolina running back Christian McCaffrey with 824. The only other players since at least 2010 with more yards after the catch in a season are Le’Veon Bell (816 in 2014) and Matt Forte (788 in 2014). “The thing he is doing in his final season at Virginia Tech. He was worried it would hinder his progress. Hardly. A full 19 games (including preseason) into his first year as a professional, Edmunds — voted the team’s Rookie of the Year on Wednesday — looks just as fresh as he did when he arrived in town in early May. “He’s durable,” safety Sean Davis, named Rookie of the Year in 2016, said. “He hasn’t missed. We ask him to do a lot. He does it. He does a good job with it. He’s picking the game up well.” Edmunds didn’t really have a choice.

The Grizzlies won 95-87. Grizzlies beat Cavaliers, 95-87 MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — The Memphis Grizzlies took advantage when Cleveland missed its first 12 shots. Then the Cavaliers came storming back, and Marc Gasol and his teammates had just enough to hold on for a wire-to-wire win. Gasol had 20 points, nine rebounds and six assists, and the Grizzlies beat the Cavaliers 95-87 on Wednesday night despite nearly blowing a 17-point fourth-quarter lead. “They’re a team that doesn’t quit. They have a really good coach and some young talent over there,” Memphis guard Mike Conley said of the Cavaliers and coach Larry Drew. “We had to finish the game out.” Kyle Anderson and Conley added 15 points each, with Conley handing out eight assists.

When the Grizzlies point guard converted both free throws, the lead was back to 90-82, and the Grizzlies finished out their second straight win. The late rally seemed contrary to a game that started so poorly for the Cavaliers, who had only one made free throw until the 4:26 mark of the first. “It was the start of the game that really put us in a little bit of a hole,” Drew said. “The first six minutes, we just couldn’t make a shot.” Despite the poor start, the Cavaliers still were within striking distance before Conley’s four straight points. “That’s a solid team,” Anderson said of Cleveland. “Their record doesn’t do them justice. They’re still a bunch of good guys that play together.” The Cavaliers play at Miami on Friday.

The Grizzlies were up 78-62 about midway through the fourth quarter, but Cleveland rallied to get within 86-82 on a drive by Osman with 1:19 left. “We were just playing hard, trying to cut the lead and win the game,” Clarkson said of the burst, adding: “I mean we were right there, making plays.
