Participants were Ben Robinette, Layne Stanley, Carlee Swartz, Cade Anderson and Lincoln Rose. During halftime of the junior varsity game between the Marauders and the Tornadoes, fans were selected to attempt shots from half court, the three-point line and finally the foul line with Gracie Hill walking away with $50 for sinking the free throw. Other participants in the shooting contest were Brayden Otto, Taylor Bartrum, Andrea Mahr, Bradley Counts and Josh Kimes. All competitors in the contests received prize money.

When someone is questioning the type of tea they should buy, I want to be able to explain to them how each tea tastes, the aroma of the tea, and how the tea can beneﬁt this person.” Marshell helps to blend teas and creates the concepts for new ﬂavors which she has been doing for over two years.

I am not a doctor but I am learning more each and every day. I love what I do and have a passion for tea and all the beneﬁts it can have.” She stated, that she “ﬁrst and foremost, always checks drug interactions with certain teas and then we go from there.

The project is in its early stages and as such, light on speciﬁcs. But the company envisions Facebook engineers working with news organizations to create new ways of telling stories and novel advertising or subscription models, right from the early stages of development. The company also wants to help promote “news literacy” and support local news.

In my about democracy youth, it would have but found it easy been unimaginable that to retire into his we would ever elect a black president. But we bubble, pleased came through, and he at his own selfwas extraordinary — assurance, the charming, brilliant and applause of his not least a gifted orator, inner circle and the which he proved again pundits who said go in his farewell speech Tuesday night. Some of ahead?” Contributing Columnist it was uplifting, and his critics should say so, but it was self-revealing when he talked about many of us living in bubbles. What he meant, he made clear, was that we tend to surround ourselves with those who “look like us” and “share the same political outlook and never challenge our assumptions.” He could have gone further, saying that even when faced with challenges, there are those whose imperturbable self-esteem and ideological ﬁxations disallow true listening and encourage self-serving rationalization. One of his examples of where to ﬁnd such people was college campuses, and boy does that ever seem the case. You watch the sobbing and screaming and wonder if some protestors have ever once peaked outside their own take on things. I would not go that far in describing Obama, but he once more demonstrated in this speech that his own bubble is hard to pop. He talked, for instance, about turning to our fundamental American values of rule of law, democracy and liberty as enabling us to deal with the highly disturbing issues of our day. But here is someone who has ﬂaunted rule of law, democracy and liberty with unlimited vigor. “We can’t wait for an increasingly dysfunctional Congress to do its job,” he said in 2011 after Democrats lost control of the House the previous year. “Where they won’t act, I will,” he continued, and he followed through on the promise, again and again issuing executive orders on matters that even he himself had in one major instance said required congressional approval. He justiﬁed all this as needed for the nation’s good despite constitutional abridgments, some of which the Supreme Court struck down. Isn’t it likely that he really does care about democracy but found it easy to retire into his bubble, pleased at his own self-assurance, the applause of his inner circle and the pundits who said go ahead? He also spoke out against sharp-edged —Jay Ambrose partisanship even as he took a shot at those who “rage about deﬁcits when we propose to spend money on preschool for kids, but not when we’re cutting taxes for corporations.” The point of cutting taxes for corporations, as numbers of economists agree, is to induce expansion that can lead to more federal revenue and supply the money for such things as more preschool education for kids. On the other hand, maybe he wants to make sure no one ever surpasses his record $20 trillion gross debt. This president also hit those he sees as dismissing facts despite his own unscientiﬁc push for a costly, unilaterally adopted climate plan that will achieve nothing by itself — EPA director Gina McCarthy has admitted as much — or his seeming to take credit for carbon dioxide reductions mostly achieved by free market fracking. He bragged about Obamacare, which has admirably extended insurance coverage to 20 million people who previously had none, but seems blank-ofmind about a downward spiral caused by an absurd redeﬁnition of what insurance is. For all of those bubble questions, he is a striking ﬁgure, this president is, and despite the slow economic recovery, we have lately been doing especially well, as he told us. Among his inspiring speech remarks was his emphasis on solidarity, of trying to put ourselves in the shoes of racial minorities, immigrants, refugees, the rural poor and — liberals should listen — “the middleaged white guy who from the outside may seem like he’s got all the advantages but has seen his world upended by economic and cultural and technological change.” For all my criticisms from maybe a different bubble than his, I see much that has been good and inspiring in him.

Bennett Contributing Columnist The friendly crowd in Chicago booed when President Barack Obama mentioned his fastapproaching return to private life when he will hand power to his successor, Donald Trump. “No, no, no, no, no,” Obama stopped them, saying next Friday’s “peaceful transfer of power from one freely elected president to the next” is a “hallmark of our democracy.” It was reminiscent of the times he was campaigning for Hillary Clinton when he would mention Trump and hear even louder jeers from Democratic audiences. Rather than play into the crowd’s animosity toward the then-GOP nominee, Obama responded each time this way: “Don’t boo. Vote.” And it provides contrast to the incoming president, who encouraged chants of “lock her up” at his rallies in reference to Clinton and her use of a private email server while secretary of state. To be sure, Obama expressed plenty of criticisms of his Repub- lican foes over his eight years in ofﬁce. But, by all accounts, the man who will follow Obama plans to use emotional, bombastic, off-the-cuff 140-character Twitter rants where his predecessor often opted for Ivy League eloquence and speeches he spent days writing, and as his aides often say with a slight grimace, re-writing. Obama used much of his farewell address Tuesday night not to assess the state of the union but to dissect the “state of our democracy.” “Understand, democracy does not require uniformity. Our founders argued, they quarreled, and eventually they compromised,” Obama said. “They expected us to do the same. But they knew that democracy does require a basic sense of solidarity. The idea that, for all our outward differences, we’re all in this together, that we rise or fall as one.” The speech was vintage Obama, a blend of eloquence, historical reﬂections, honest criticism of both political parties and a plea for all Americans to “help restore the sense of common purpose that we so “Obama used much of his farewell address Tuesday night not to assess the state of the union but to dissect the ‘state of our democracy.’” —John T. Bennett badly need right now.” From his pledge to publicly support any plan to replace his signature health care law that would be “demonstrably better” to his words about minorities to his call for all elected ofﬁcials to “pay attention and listen” to the “middle-aged white guy who from the outside may seem like he’s got all the advantages, but has seen his world upended by economic, and cultural, and technological change,” even his critics said the farewell address was a ﬁnal graceful act for the 44th president. “America will forever be indebted to him … for the character that he showed, and for the class that he showed, and for the dignity that he showed,” Joe Scarborough, a former Republican congressman-turned MSNBC host, said Wednesday morning. “As a man, as a husband, as a father, as a person, in his eight years in the White House, his character was beyond reproach.” Saturday offered an example of how the 44th and 45th presidents communicate and view the ofﬁce so differently. As U.S. intelligence ofﬁcials, the Obama administration and lawmakers from both parties were warning about an escalating threat from Russia, Trump — much like a ratings-minded sports radio host — played the contrarian role. He doubled down on his call for warmer U.S.-Russia relations. But where Obama, the former constitutional law professor, would have started a lengthy lecture aimed at changing his critics’ thinking about what would amount to a 180-degree shift in U.S. policy, Trump resorted to name-calling, writing that only “stupid” people would oppose cozying up to Russian President Vladimir Putin.

There are 353 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Jan. 12, 1910, at a White House dinner hosted by President William Howard Taft, Baroness Rosen, wife of the Russian ambassador, caused a stir by requesting and smoking a cigarette — it was, apparently, the ﬁrst time a woman had smoked openly during a public function in the executive mansion. (Some of the other women present who had brought their own cigarettes began lighting up in turn.) On this date: In 1773, the ﬁrst public museum in America was organized in Charleston, South Carolina. In 1828, the United States and Mexico signed a Treaty of Limits deﬁning the boundary between the two countries to be the same as the one established by an 1819 treaty between the U.S. and Spain. In 1915, the U.S. House of Representatives rejected, 204-174, a proposed constitutional amendment to give women nationwide the right to vote. The silent ﬁlm drama “A Fool There Was,” which propelled Theda Bara to stardom with her portrayal of a predatory vamp, premiered in New York. In 1932, Hattie W. Caraway became the ﬁrst woman elected to the U.S. Senate after initially being appointed to serve out the remainder of the term of her late husband, THOUGHT FOR TODAY “Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not his own facts.” — Daniel Patrick Moynihan, U.S. politician and diplomat (1927-2003) Thaddeus. In 1945, during World War II, Soviet forces began a major, successful offensive against the Germans in Eastern Europe. Aircraft from U.S. Task Force 38 sank about 40 Japanese ships off Indochina. In 1959, Berry Gordy Jr. founded Motown Records (originally Tamla Records) in Detroit. In 1966, President Lyndon B. Johnson said in his State of the Union address that the U.S. military should stay in Vietnam until Communist aggression there was stopped. The TV series “Batman,” starring Adam West and Burt Ward as the Dynamic Duo, premiered on ABC, airing twice a week on consecutive nights. In 1971, the groundbreaking situation comedy “All in the Family” premiered on CBS television. In 1976, mystery writer Dame Agatha Christie died in Wallingford, England, at age 85.

The ﬁnal basket of the 71-46 EHS setback was Facemyer’s layup with 33 seconds left. “For about 10 minutes, we executed a game plan,” said Coach Hill. “It was a two-point ball game early in the second quarter. We got away from our game plan and we suffered for it. Take nothing away from Waterford, because they have a very nice ball club, a ball club that’s going to go deep into the tournament and probably win the league.

Jordan Welch and Travis Pottmyer each had six points in the win, Andrew Theiman added four, while Riley Burns scored two points.

Thursday, January 12, 2017 7 Bulldogs hold off Rio Grande men By Randy Payton For Ohio Valley Publishing WILBERFORCE, Ohio — Wilberforce University built a 13-point second half lead, but was forced to hold on for dear life down the stretch in an eventual 69-64 triumph over the University of Rio Grande, Tuesday night, in non-conference men’s basketball action at the Gaston Lewis Gymnasium. The Bulldogs (11-4), who were playing for the ﬁrst time since a Dec. 10 win at Rio Grande and for the ﬁrst time at home since Nov. 21, won for the third straight time en route to completing the season sweep of the RedStorm. Rio suffered its second straight loss and dropped to 5-13 overall. The RedStorm actually outshot Wilberforce from the ﬁeld (50.0%-42.4%) and out rebounded the Bulldogs, 31-25, but were victimized by 20 turnovers which led to a 21-3 advantage in points off of the miscues for the hosts. The game was a backand-forth affair through the ﬁrst 11 minutes, before Wilberforce grabbed control over the ﬁnal nine minutes of the opening half and built a 43-34 advantage at the intermission. The lead grew to 13 points, 52-39, following a three-pointer by Patrick Mitchell with 17:17 left in the contest, but the RedStorm refused to go away quietly. Rio pulled to within 57-55 following a pair of free throws by senior DeVon Price (Pickerington, OH) with 8:17 remaining and trailed just 61-57 after junior Will Hill (Worthington, OH) canned a pair of free throws with 3:52 to play, but the Bulldogs turned turnovers on each of the RedStorm’s next two possessions into a 66-57 lead with 2:59 remaining. Rio got no closer than the game’s ﬁnal margin the rest of the way. Hill was Rio Grande’s lone double-digit scorer, ﬁnishing with a gamehigh 23 points. He also had a game-best ﬁve assists. Senior Josh Thompson (Bronx, NY) led Rio with seven rebounds. Demond Parker led a quartet of double-ﬁgure scorers for Wilberforce with 13 points, while Mitchell ﬁnished with 11 points to go along with a game-best nine rebounds, a team-high three assists and a game-high three steals. Darrion Riddle and Malik Breckenridge added 10 points each in the winning effort for the Bulldogs. The RedStorm return to action on Saturday afternoon when West Virginia University-Tech visits the Newt Oliver Arena for a 4 p.m. tipoff.

Bullish Steelers going heavy during win streak PITTSBURGH (AP) — Offensive lineman nirvana arrived for the Pittsburgh Steelers late in the ﬁrst quarter on Sunday against the Miami Dolphins. Ten snaps. All handoffs from quarterback Ben Roethlisberger to Le’Veon Bell. Each one of them chewing up clock, yardage and whatever mettle Miami’s defensive front seven might have brought north to chilly Heinz Field with them. When the drive ended 83 yards and 5:27 later with Bell stretching across the goal line to give the Steelers a 20-3 lead, Pittsburgh’s transformation from aerial circus that produced a quick two-touchdown lead to a battering ram protecting that advantage was complete. “It’s the best feeling for an offensive lineman controlling the line of scrimmage and knowing they can’t stop it,” right tackle Marcus Gilbert said. “That surge off the football, it kills the defense. It demoralizes them.” And it showcased just how versatile Pittsburgh’s offense has become during the eight-game winning streak it carries to Kansas City on Sunday in the divisional round of the playoffs. The Steelers have beaten teams in various ways during their two-month renaissance following a choppy 4-5 start. One week it’s Roethlisberger hooking up with Antonio Brown three times for scores as they did during a Thanksgiving night victory in Indianapolis. The next it’s Bell setting a franchise record with 236 yards rushing in snowy Buffalo. It’s the kind of versatility the Steelers (12-5) believe can make them a tough out going forward, one they showcased during their ﬁrst meeting with the Chiefs in October, when Roethlisberger tossed ﬁve touchdowns and Bell ran for 144 yards in his return from a three-game suspension for violating the league’s substance abuse policy. “We’re a team that’s really balanced,” Bell said . “We can spread guys out, throw the ball all over the place, line up big, run the ball out of shotgun or run or pass out of four-wide. I think we’re really balanced, and we can attack in different ways.” Having a healthy line and one of the league’s most skilled backs certainly helps. The proof of Pittsburgh’s dominance running the ball over the past seven weeks — a stretch in which Bell has piled up 1,002 yards rushing — is that the Steelers haven’t done much to disguise when they’re going let Bell do his thing. When Pittsburgh wants to set the tone, offensive coordinator Todd Haley will often send in 286pound guard Chris Hubbard as a sixth lineman with 270-pound blocking tight end David Johnson. Though technically there are pass options for Roethlisberger when the Steelers go to their “heavy” set, they don’t. It’s a formula borrowed from former Pittsburgh coach Bill Cowher, who championed the idea of throwing early so you can run late. It worked to near perfection against the Dolphins, when Bell broke Hall of Famer Franco Harris’ franchise record for yards rushing in a postseason game by the end of the third quarter. Bell ﬁnished with 167 yards on the ground and Pittsburgh cruised to its biggest playoff blowout in 20 years on a day Roethlisberger threw just 18 passes and just six in the second half. “We have a better understanding of who we are,” coach Mike Tomlin said Tuesday. What Pittsburgh needs to be in Kansas City is potent but also careful with the ball, something that’s been an issue at times recently in the postseason. Roethlisberger has thrown nine interceptions in his past seven playoff games, including a pair against Miami. Marauders just amped it (defense) up,” said Fry. “Against Eastern, we ran the same defense we did tonight, but the energy wasn’t there. Tonight, we brought that energy along with the defense. We rotated guys in and out all night to keep fresh legs going, and I think that pressure over time just wears you down.” The initial quarter featured seven lead changes — with Southern actually leading 14-13 at the ﬁrst stop. But the Marauders reeled off 10 unanswered points in the ﬁrst two minutes and 45 seconds of the second, and withstood six straight Tornado markers to eventually stake a 32-25 advantage at halftime. Then, Mattox and Musser made back-toback three-balls in the third frame’s opening minute, as a Musser assist to Jared Kennedy quickly stretched the Marauder lead to 15 (4025). For Southern, which slipped to an even 5-5, it was the exact opposite of the second-half start it wanted. In all, in the middle two quarters, Meigs outscored the Purple and Gold 37-21. “Even though with all the turnovers we had in the ﬁrst half, to only be down seven, I actually felt pretty good coming out in the second half. In the second half, we had to take better care of the basketball and get off to a good start. And we didn’t,” said Southern coach Jeff Caldwell. “We practice against it (1-3-1 zone defense), but you can’t simulate that athleticism and quickness that they have. Meigs is a very talented team coming in here playing very good basketball of late. We were right there with them, but the start of the second half, we let it get away from us.” The Marauders shot 43-percent (24-of-53) from the ﬁeld, which was boosted by nailing seven of a dozen (58-percent) three-pointers. Four Meigs members mustered double ﬁgures, paced by a strong double-double from senior center Jared Kennedy. Kennedy connected on seven ﬁeld goals towards 15 points, while Zach Bartrum bucketed ﬁve total ﬁeld goals — including a trey — for a dozen. Kennedy also grabbed 13 rebounds and made three blocks, while Mattox made off with ﬁve steals and dished out four assists. Mattox and Musser made four total ﬁeld goals apiece towards 11 and 10 points respectively. Weston Baer on two baskets, Zach Helton on a ﬁeld goal and 2-of-2 free throws, Dillon Mahr on 3-of-4 foul shots, and Bailey Caruthers on the club’s other trifecta rounded out the Marauders’ scoring. Crenson Rogers, on six ﬁeld goals and 6-of-9 free throws, paced the Tornadoes and all scorers with 18 points. Weston Thorla, on ﬁve ﬁeld goals and 2-of-2 free throws, chipped in 13 for Southern. Tylar Blevins busted two triples towards eight points, as Thorla, Blake Johnson and Dylan Smith all made one three-ball. Smith sank Southern’s only other free throw, while Trey Pickens posted a basket to round out the team’s scoring. “Meigs is a good team and we play a tough non-league schedule. All the schools we play with the exception of one are bigger schools,” said Caldwell. “We go up against some good athletes right there, and hopefully that just makes us better.” Southern travels to Eastern on Friday night for a TVC-Hocking matchup, while Meigs —at 3-0 in the TVC-Ohio — ventures to undefeated and division co-leader Vinton County (10-0, 4-0 TVC-Ohio). The winner will take over sole possession of ﬁrst-place in the TVCOhio. From page 6 the third, scoring eight unanswered points to open up a 40-25 advantage. For the ﬁnal 14 minutes and 30 seconds, the Tornadoes never got closer than a dozen — while the Marauders managed exactly six 16-point leads (45-29, 46-30, 48-32, 56-40, 58-42 and 62-46) from there. While Meigs made seven three-pointers, including three by Christian Mattox and two by Luke Musser, it was the Marauders’ 1-3-1 extended zone defense that truly made the most difference. The Tornadoes, in excess of 20 turnovers against Nelsonville-York and 27 at Belpre last Friday, committed 25 more against Meigs. Fry said his club combined high energy with defensive pressure in turning over the Tornadoes. In opening up a 23-14 second-quarter lead only two-and-a-half minutes in, the Marauders forced four straight Southern turnovers. “I told the kids that I think we could put more pressure on them (Tornadoes) than Belpre could, so let’s see what we could do. We didn’t do anything special, we Paul Boggs can be reached at 740446-2342, ext. 2106 �SPORTS/CLASSIFIEDS 8 Thursday, January 12, 2017 Daily Sentinel Tigers-Tide II gets a place in the history of great games TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — You thought last year’s College Football Playoff championship game was great? The rematch was even better. And it will take a place in the history books. Clemson won its ﬁrst national title since 1981 with its 35-31 victory over top-ranked Alabama on Monday night, avenging its 45-40 loss in last year’s championship game. Heisman Trophy runner-up Deshaun Watson delivered as he has so many times in his career, throwing a 2-yard touchdown pass to Hunter Renfrow with a second remaining to ﬁnish a night when the Tigers amassed 511 yards against college football’s most vaunted defense. Oh, and Clemson denied Alabama a ﬁfth national title in eight years. Here are a few other epic games that belong in the club: Oh, and Kenyan Drake returned a kickoff 95 yards for another score. Clemson didn’t ﬂinch. Clemson’s Watson threw four touchdown and had 478 total yards — 403 passing. NOTRE DAME 10, MICHIGAN STATE 10 (1966) A tie is an epic? When it comes to this one, it tops the list. Ara Parseghian’s Notre Dame team came into the game unbeaten and ranked No. 1. Duffy Daugherty’s Michigan State team also was unbeaten and ranked No. 2. The game, sometimes referred to as the “Game of the Century,” ended in controversy as Notre Dame, playing at Spartan Stadium, elected not to try for a score on the ﬁnal series. The not-soFighting Irish ended up No. 1 in the ﬁnal AP poll. The game featured Terry Hanratty getting knocked out of the game after a sack by Michigan State’s Bubba Smith. The Irish had the ball with 1:01 left after rallying to tie the score, and needed about 40 yards to get into Joe Azzaro’s ﬁeld goal range. Parseghian chose to run out the clock. Alabama ﬁnished the same season 11-0-0. ALABAMA 45, CLEMSON 40 (2015) With one big play after another — by both teams — Alabama beat Clemson in a thrill-a-minute game.

Ohio State also was unbeaten, ranked No. 2, but appeared to be no match for the speedy ‘Canes. Led by freshman running back Maurice Clarett, though, Ohio State outplayed Miami for much of the game. But it was a still debated pass interference call in overtime that gave the Buckeyes another chance, and Automotive MARK PORTER FORD $$$$$$$$$ est several years earlier, pulled off one of the greatest upsets to win its ﬁrst national title. Led by gawky yet efﬁcient quarterback Bernie Kosar, Miami built an early lead and the hometown crowd rocked the Orange Bowl. The potent Cornhuskers needed a trick play — a “fumblerooski” TD by lineman Dean Steinkuhler — to stay in the game. They pulled within a point with less than a minute left, but instead of kicking the extra point that would have assured a championship, coach Tom Osborne decided to go for the win with a 2-point try. Turner Gill’s pass was swatted away by Ken Calhoun, and Miami beneﬁted when higher ranked teams lost in earlier bowl games and rose from ﬁfth to No. 1 in the ﬁnal AP poll.

The White Falcons (5-4, 4-3 TVC Hocking) battled through one tie and four lead changes in the opening period before taking a slim 15-13 edge, but the Red and White followed with a dominant 19-8 second quarter surge that secured a comfortable 34-21 cushion headed into the break. The host Rebels (1-9, 0-5) twice pulled to within 10 points early in the third stanza, but a Litchﬁeld basket with 2:27 left gave WHS its largest lead of the night at 44-29. SGHS, however, made a quick 7-2 run to close out the canto for a 46-36 deﬁcit headed into the ﬁnale. The Red and Gold hit ﬁve of their ﬁrst nine shot attempts in the fourth as part of a 13-3 charge, which allowed the Rebels to knot things up at 49-all with 4:45 remaining. After ending up tied again at 54-all with 2:36 left, the White Falcons reeled off a 5-3 run over the next two minutes for a slim 59-57 lead. Coming out of a timeout with less than 15 seconds remaining, South Gallia’s Caleb Henry was given the ball on a clear-out — and the sophomore forced overtime with a short jumper with seven seconds left while knotting things up at 59. Henry converted an oldfashioned three-point play to start the extra session, then Curtis Haner drilled a corner trifecta that gave South Gallia its largest lead of the night at 65-59 with 2:23 remaining. Philip Hoffman answered for WHS with a trifecta at the 2:12 mark for a one-possession game, then the guests caught a break as a SGHS player was whistled for a technical foul with 1:28 left. Litchﬁeld nailed both free throws for a 65-64 deﬁcit, then followed with a basket on the ensuing possession that gave Wahama a 66-65 lead with 1:22 remaining. The hosts reclaimed the lead on a pair of Henry free throws with 54.2 seconds showing, but Litchﬁeld clinched things with two charity tosses with 31.3 left. South Gallia managed to get a potential gametying shot off at the end of overtime, but the attempt By Alex Hawley ahawley@civitasmedia.com CENTENARY, Ohio — Talk about your strong ﬁnishes. The Gallia Academy boys basketball team scored 23 points in the fourth quarter, including the ﬁnal seven points of the game, as the Blue Devils knocked off Ohio Valley Conference guest South Point by a 66-60 margin, on Tuesday in Gallia County. Gallia Academy (7-3, 3-1 OVC) outscored the Pointers (6-3, 2-2) by an 18-16 count in the opening quarter, but South Point used a 12-to-9 second quarter run to take a 28-27 advantage into the halftime break. GAHS outscored its guest by a 16-to-15 total in the third quarter, leaving the game tied at 43 with eight minutes to play. The Pointers hit four three-pointers, two two’s and a free throw in the ﬁnale, as they took a 60-59 lead. The Blue Devils ﬁnished with a 7-0 run, however, as the hosts took the 66-60 win. Justin McClelland led the Blue Devils with 17 points, including 12 from long range. Justin Peck was next with 13 points, followed by Evan Wiseman with 12 and Zach Loveday with 11. Rounding out the GAHS scoring were Miles Cornwell and Cory Call with seven and six points respectively. Tayshaun Fox led the Pointers with 19 points, followed by Jared Whitt with 16. Logan Wade and Elijah Adams both marked eight points in the setback, Douglas Shaffer chipped in with six points, while Tanner Hall contributed three points. GAHS was 9-of-19 (47.4 percent) from the free throw line, while SPHS was 6-of-7 (85.7 percent). Gallia Academy will go for the season sweep of the Pointers on February 7, in South Point. The Blue Devils will look to make it back-toback wins on Friday night, when Fairland visits Centenary. South Point plays host to Ironton on Friday.

Can Osweiler lead Texans to historic upset By Rob Maaddi Associated Press Before this weekend, just ﬁve NFL playoff games since 1966 have featured a team favored by at least 15 points. Just one of those underdogs won the game (Google “Joe Namath” if you need more information on that). Oddsmakers don’t think Brock Osweiler should guarantee the 16-point underdog Houston Texans can beat Tom Brady and the Patriots in New England. In fact, even if Brady were not playing, the Patriots would be favored by nearly two touchdowns. “Normally, he is worth six to seven points to the spread, depending on the opponent,” said Scott Cooley, spokesman for BookMaker, an offshore book and casino. “But in this situation it changes a bit because the Patriots have a very capable backup in Jimmy Garappolo, who we’ve seen perform well in meaningful games. If Brady wasn’t playing this weekend, we would make the Patriots 12- to 13-point favorites.” The Patriots (14-2) beat the Texans 27-0 in Week 3 with third-string quarterback Jacoby Brissett leading the way. Brady, of course, will be under center against the Texans and he’s playing some of his best football. He’s taking nothing for granted because coach Bill Belichick wouldn’t have it another way. “There is nothing easy about this game for our offense,” Brady said on WEEI radio in Boston. Osweiler is 1-0 against Brady. Peyton Manning’s former backup rallied Denver from a 21-7 deﬁcit in the fourth quarter to beat the Patriots 30-24 in overtime last season. But this isn’t the same Osweiler — he was benched last month — and the Texans (10-7) are not last year’s Super Bowl champion Broncos. The Patriots are used to double-digit point spreads in the playoffs. They’ve been involved in the ﬁve largest spreads since 2000, according to Pro Football Reference. They’re only 1-3 covering the spread as favorites, but 3-1 in the won/loss column.

The rebound was knocked out to half court by a Wahama player, which allowed the remaining time to expire off the clock. After committing only four turnovers in the ﬁrst half, Wahama coughed up possession 15 times after the break — which included eight turnovers alone in the third period. The Red and White, however, had only one miscue — as well as a 4-0 edge on the offensive boards — in the overtime session. The Rebels committed two of their 15 total turnovers in the extra frame. Wahama also claimed a 44-37 overall edge on the glass, including a 14-12 advantage on the offensive end of the boards. There were seven ties and 11 total lead changes in the tightly-contested battle, and WHS coach Ron Bradley was thankful to get out of Tuesday night on the winning side of things. “Every win in this league is a great road win,” Bradley said with a chuckle. “We didn’t handle the pressure very well when we needed to. We didn’t do a good job of understanding the situation late with a lead, rather it be taking ill-advised shots or throwing bad passes … and it almost came back to get us. We were very fortunate to squeak this one out tonight. “We made plays when we needed to, especially at the free throw line, and I am proud of the kids for their efforts. I also want to give South Gallia a lot of credit for how hard they played, because they played their guts out. I told our kids we’d be in for a dog ﬁght … and sure enough we were.” The Rebels missed their ﬁrst six shots of the second quarter and ﬁnished the ﬁrst half just 8-of-29 from the ﬁeld. The hosts were also outrebounded 19-12 in the opening 16 minutes of play. Wahama, conversely, netted 12-of-23 shot attempts in the ﬁrst half. SGHS Larry Howell was pleased with the overall Wahama defenders Jacob Lloyd and Noah Litchfield trap South Gallia’s Joey Woodall along the baseline during the first half of Tuesday night’s TVC Hocking boys basketball contest in Mercerville, Ohio. effort from his troops, but he’d also like to see a little more growth in regards to putting together four solid quarters on the hardwood. “We had a tough ﬁrst half and we challenged them at halftime to come out and play harder. That was exactly what we did, but we just dug ourselves a little too much of a hole there in the second quarter,” Howell said. “I’m proud of their efforts tonight, but I’d really like to see a little more consistency out of them. We’re halfway through the season, so we aren’t quite the young group that we were at the beginning of the year. It’s time for us to take that next step forward, and that involves playing a complete game.” The White Falcons connected on 20-of-55 ﬁeld goal attempts for 36 percent, including a 3-of-10 effort from behind the arc for 30 percent. WHS was also 25-of-38 at the free throw line for 66 percent. Litchﬁeld led Wahama with a double-double effort of 24 points and 13 rebounds, both gamehighs. Hoffman was next with 14 points and nine boards, while Jacob Lloyd chipped in 11 markers. Mason Hildreth and Travis Kearns respectively added eight and seven points, with Randy Lantz rounding out the winning tally with four markers. Hildreth also hauled eight caroms for the Red and White. The Rebels netted 23-of66 ﬁeld goal attempts for 35 percent, including a 9-of-26 effort from threepoint range for 35 percent. The Red and Gold were also 12-of-18 at the charity stripe for 67 percent. Caleb Henry led SGHS with a double-double effort of 22 points and 10 rebounds, followed by Haner and Eli Ellis with 14 points apiece. Ellis also hauled in nine rebounds, while Austin Stapleton chipped in seven markers and eight caroms. Colton Bowers was next with six points, while Josh Henry and Austin Day completed the scoring with two markers each. Wahama now has its ﬁrst winning streak of the year, while South Gallia has dropped its last two overall decisions. Bryan Walters can be reached at 740446-2342, ext. 2101.
