The vehicle reportedly driven by Jason Austin of Lancaster is seen here after
crashing into a fence at Eastern High School.
OHIO VALLEY — A multicounty high speed chase on
Wednesday morning came
to an end after the suspect
crashed through a fence
behind Eastern High School,
according to Meigs County
Sheriff Keith Wood.
Jason Austin, 34, of Lancaster was taken into custody following the chase through two
states and multiple counties.
Wood said the chase on
Wednesday started in Wood
County, West Virginia, with
a reportedly stolen vehicle in
Parkersburg. The vehicle driven by Austin was then chased
into Ohio, with numerous law
enforcement agencies taking
part.
As the vehicle traveled down
Route 7, it crossed into Meigs
County where the Meigs
County Sheriff’s Office
joined the efforts to stop
the vehicle.
Wood said the vehicle
continued down Route
7, going onto Route 33
toward Athens before
turning around at Rain- Austin
bow Lake Road. The
vehicle then turned
off Route 33 onto Route 681
going back toward Tuppers
Plains.
Law enforcement tried to
use spike strips at multiple
locations but were unsuccessful with the suspect reportedly
driving through yards in the
area to avoid the strips. The
vehicle again got on Route 7 in
Tuppers Plains heading toward
Chester.
Deputies were
stationed just below
Eastern Local Schools,
which Wood said led
the suspect to turn into
the parking lot at the
school, going around
back toward the weight
room. Wood said the
suspect crashed through the
fence by the sewer facility near
the school’s football field. He

McKinniss joins
OVP editorial team
Staff Report
OHIO VALLEY — Morgan McKinniss has
joined the Ohio Valley Publishing editorial staff.
McKinniss, a native of Gallia County, is the
son of Terry and Faith McKinniss, longtime
residents of Gallipolis. He’s a 2011 graduate of
Gallia Academy and a 2016 graduate of Marshall
University with a BLA in English Literature. He
currently resides in Clay Township with wife,
Mary.
“We are very glad to have Morgan join our
team,” said OVP publisher, Bud Hunt. “Because
he grew up here many of our readers know
Morgan and I encourage those
who don’t to get to know him. Our
readers will benefit from having an
already familiar face in the newsroom.”
Morgan is also the grandson of
the late Bernard McKinniss and
Barb McKinniss, who were previous owners of “The Telegram” in
McKinniss
Wellston.
With newspaper work in his family, Morgan has an understanding of the power
of the press.
“What we say has always been more important
than how we say it, but how we say it has never
been as important as it is now,” he said. “It is my
goal as a reporter to tell the stories and news of
this community as accurately as possible, and in
a way that is both effective and worthwhile.”
Morgan will be primarily working out of the
Gallipolis Daily Tribune office as well as taking
on some assignments for the Point Pleasant Register.
“With Morgan’s knowledge of the area and
appreciation of seeking out new stories to tell,
I’m sure he’ll fit in well with the OVP team,” Editor Beth Sergent, said.
In addition to reporting, Morgan is a youth
minister for the Good News Baptist Church
on Georges Creek Road. He previously was
employed as a substitute teacher for Gallia Local
Schools and dispatcher for Gallia County 911.
Contact Morgan with story ideas at 740-4462342 or at mmckinniss@civitasmedia.com.

Tribune, Point Pleasant Register, The Daily Sentinel and Sunday

Commissioners recognize Ag Week
By Sarah Hawley
shawley@civitasmedia.com
POMEROY — The
Meigs County Commissioners issued a
proclamation in honor
of National Agriculture
Week during last week’s
meeting.
National Agriculture
Week runs March 19-25.
The proclamation calls
on citizens of the county
to acknowledge and
celebrate the achievements of all those who,
working together, produce an abundance of
agricultural products
that strengthen and
enrich the community
and nation.
According to the
proclamation, American agriculture is the
nation’s largest employer, with more than 22
million people working
in the agriculture industry.
Information from the
Agriculture Council of
America and the Athens-Meigs Farm Bureau
states that there are 588
farms in Meigs County,
with approximately
9,500 cattle and calves
according to statistics
from 2012 and 2014.
According to the
2012 census numbers
provided, the county
saw approximately $9.6
million in cash receipts
for crops, including
corn, vegetables and
greenhouses, with
approximately $4.8 million in cash receipts for
livestock.
In addition to Agriculture Week, Ag Day is
recognized on March 21
as a time when producers, agricultural associations, corporations, universities, government
agencies and countless
others gather to recognize and celebrate what
is provided by American
agriculture.
In other business,
the commissioners
approved $2,500 toward
the replacement of
doors at the Chester
Academy building. The
cost is being split with
the Chester Shade Historical Association.
The commissioners
approved the appointment of Dru Reed to the
Meigs County Board
of Developmental Disabilities as submitted by
Supt. Kay Davis.

OHIO VALLEY —
Mark Bridenbaugh, Chief
Executive Officer of
Hopewell Health Centers
and board member of the
Ohio Association of Community Health Centers
(OACHC), was recently
recognized for his outstanding leadership with
community health centers
in Ohio.
Bridenbaugh was
awarded the Dolores J.
Lindsay Award for Outstanding Achievement
and Leadership. Randy
Runyon, President and
CEO of OACHC, made
the presentation with
these remarks, “Mark
Bridenbaugh has been a
brilliant leader, both for
his service to his home
health center, Hopewell
Health Center as well as
for our state association.
He is a great innovator
in the provision of health
and behavioral health
care for the residents his
region and an respected
colleague for his willingness to give advice and
support to fellow health
center CEO’s.”
The association
bestows this award annually to a community
health center executive
who has made significant
contributions to the community health center
movement in Ohio. In
1967, Dolores J. Lindsay
founded the first Health
Center in Ohio — The
HealthCare Connection
(formerly the Lincoln
Heights Health Center)
located in in Cincinnati,
Ohio. Under her management, The HealthCare
Connection (started in a
four-bedroom apartment
in Lincoln Heights) grew
to include both medical
and dental services and
opened two new standalone centers in Mt.
Healthy and Forest Park.
Mrs. Lindsay also led the
charge for increasing services to those with behavioral health and medical
co-morbidities through
partnering with three
local behavioral health
agencies to open five colocated health centers.
Today, Ohio’s Community Health Center
Organizations manage
over 280 locations across
the state. In 2015, Community Health Centers
provided care to over
623,000 Ohioans and
recorded over 2.1 million
patient visits. Providing
care to the uninsured and
underinsured, Community Health Centers have
become the largest health
care system in the nation,
and are considered the
highest rated program
within the U.S. Department of Health and
Human Services.
Like Lindsay, Bridenbaugh has had an illustrious career as a healthcare
administrator in Ohio.

State University and her
medical degree from the
University of Cincinnati.
She has served on the faculties at Georgetown University, Washington DC,
as well as the University

Supporting Earl Neff Pediatric Fund
CHARLESTON — West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey, in accordance with National
Consumer Protection Week 2017, alerted consumers to a phone scam that targets consumers during
tax season each year.
The scam typically starts with a phone call indicating the Internal Revenue Service will arrest the
consumer if they don’t follow instructions. Similar
calls claim to represent the U.S. Treasury Department or legal affairs among other groups.
The consumer typically learns the matter is
urgent in that he or she owes immediate payment.
Threats of imminent arrest often follow whenever the consumer refuses
to cooperate or questions the caller’s
legitimacy.
“Being contacted by the IRS can
be intimidating, especially if they’re
demanding money,” Morrisey said.
“Scammers know this and use it to
Morrisey
their advantage. It’s important to
verify the caller’s authenticity before
taking any action.”
The IRS impostors will, at times, use common
names. They may also claim to know the last four
digits of the consumer’s Social Security number
and pose as their own supervisor anytime the consumer asks for management.
Other characteristics to watch for include, but
are not limited, to the following: Use out-of-state
telephone numbers. Use of automated calling
machines. Use of fake government badge numbers
and phony emails. Follow-up calls claiming to represent a different agency. Caller ID information to
support their bogus representation.
Morrisey strongly urges all consumers to ignore
such calls, do not return voicemails and report
any victimization to the U.S. Inspector General’s
Office on Tax Administration via http://1.usa.
gov/1ClYZbP or via email at Complaints@tigta.
treas.gov or phishing@irs.gov.
Questions can be directed to the Attorney General’s Consumer Protection Division at 800-3688808 statewide or 304-267-0239 in Martinsburg.

Contributing columnist
during the crack epidemic of the 1980s.
Most of those deaths
were from opioids —
prescription painkillers,
heroin and fentanyl, a
dangerous synthetic
drug. In Maryland,
where I live, opioid
deaths jumped 62 percent in the first three
quarters of 2016. Gov.
Larry Hogan, a moderate
Republican, declared a
state of emergency and
asked the federal government for help.
But you wouldn’t know
that from the American
Health Care Act of 2017,
the House Republican
proposal to repeal Obamacare and replace it with
a smaller, cheaper health
insurance program.
Not only does the bill
offer no solutions for
the drug crisis; it would
make the problem worse
by making dramatic cuts
in Medicaid, the healthcare program that covers
low-income people.
Under Obamacare,
Medicaid was enlarged
to allow people with
incomes up to $16,400
(for a single person) to
enroll, at least in the 31
states that agreed to the
expansion.
The House bill would
roll back that expansion,
mainly by capping federal payments to state
Medicaid programs.
In total, it would cut
Medicaid funding by an
estimated 25 percent,
or $880 billion over 10
years — the largest costsaving in the bill.
The bill also includes
a provision allowing
states to drop mental
health and addition
services from their Medicaid plans. (Obamacare
required those services
to be included.)
Health economists
worry that once federal
subsidies are capped,
states may find themselves choosing whose
Medicaid to fund: mothers and children, elderly
nursing home residents
or drug users.
“They can continue to
take on those responsibilities and pay for it out of
their own budgets, or, if
they are under pressure,
they have to scale back,”
said Richard G. Frank of
Harvard Medical School.
“Historically, states have
been loath to cover substance abuse treatment.”
A Medicaid cut that
large, Baltimore Health
Commissioner Leana
Wen told me, “could cost
the lives of thousands
of people. It’s medically
irresponsible. And it’s
fiscally irresponsible; it
will create costs down
the road.”
Already, Dr. Wen
noted, only about 1 in 10
drug abusers get addiction treatment.
“That’s a statistic we
would not find accept-
able for any other
disease,” she said. “We
wouldn’t accept it if we
were providing insulin
to 1 in 10 diabetics, or
making chemotherapy
available to only 1 in 10
cancer patients.”
Wen works for a Democratic mayor in a Democratic city. But there are
Republicans who agree,
especially governors in
the states that expanded
Medicaid and now rely
on the program for addiction treatment.
“Don’t kill Medicaid
expansion,” Ohio Gov.
John Kasich pleaded this
week on NBC’s “Meet
the Press.” His state had
more opioid deaths than
any other in 2015; an
estimated 151,000 Ohioans are getting drug or
mental health treatment
under Medicaid.
“If you’re drug addicted, if you’re mentally ill,
you have to consistently
see the doctor. From
what I see in this House
bill, the resources are not
there,” Kasich said. “It’s
not that we love Obamacare. It means don’t
throw the baby out with
the bathwater.”
Sen. Rob Portman, an
Ohio Republican, won reelection last year partly
because of his dogged
work to increase federal
spending on the drug
epidemic. Last week,
Portman signed a letter
demanding that states be
given time for an orderly
transition to a new system, at least until 2020,
hopefully longer.
But House conservatives want to cut Medicaid funds even faster
than the bill proposes.
It’s a classic conflict
between Republican
pragmatists and hardliners — and the man in
the middle is President
Trump.
During the campaign,
Trump criticized the
Obama administration
for failing to stop the
drug epidemic and promised that he would fix it.
At a rally in New Hampshire, Trump promised
“a plan to end the opioid
epidemic” and released
a statement saying he
would incentivize state
and local governments to
mandate drug treatment.
And in his formal speech
to Congress last month,
Trump renewed the
pledge. “We will expand
treatment for those who
have become so badly
addicted,” he said, without offering any details.
But the House bill goes
in the opposite direction;
it would cut drug treatment, not expand it. Of
all Trump’s promises,
this might be the cruelest
to break. Has he noticed?

THEIR VIEW
Between fear and apathy, I’ll take fear
By Jonah Goldberg
Contributing columnist
Dystopia is in the
air these days. George
Orwell’s “1984” is selling like hotcakes — if
hotcakes still sold well
in this low-carb world. Is
the president to blame?
I think historians, no
doubt working from their
subterranean monasteries, bunkered from the
radioactive wasteland
above, will note that
dystopianism, apocalypticism and other forms of
existential paranoia actually predate the Trump
presidency. It’s a fever
that passes from one subset of the population to
another and occasionally
blows up into a full-scale
pandemic. We all carry
the infection in us, sometimes slow-simmering,
sometimes in remission
and sometimes in extremis.
Hollywood has been
running through practice
scenarios of doom nonstop from its founding.
Indeed, end-of-theworldism is, and has long
been, a lucrative market
niche. To believe that,
one need only catch a
“food insurance” ad on
TV.
Under President
Obama, survivalists and
other tribes of doomsday
preppers were the stuff
of late-night comedian
mockery and daytime
MSNBC journalistic
japery. Now they look
more like trendsetters.
Shortly before the
Trump inauguration,
The New Yorker profiled
Silicon Valley moguls
and other liberal onepercenters stocking up
on MREs and ammo.
“I keep a helicopter
gassed up all the time,
and I have an underground bunker with an
air-filtration system,”
an investment banker
told The New Yorker’s
Evan Osnos. “A lot of my
friends do the guns and
the motorcycles and the
gold coins. That’s not too
rare anymore.”
Madonna has a new
little film out in which
she declares we live in
a “new age of tyranny”
where “all marginalized
people are in danger”
and “where being uniquely different might truly
be considered a crime.”
So an insanely rich,
decades-long global
media icon is claiming
the mantle of the marginalized and oppressed.
Where does she find the
courage to speak up?
While it’s always easy
— and often fun — to
point out the irrational
paranoia in others, I generally like this tendency
in American culture,
so long as it’s kept reasonably in check. The
founders were terrified of
tyranny. “The Federalist

School destroyed by
floods, boys’ team
makes state tourney
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — After flooding
destroyed their high school in West Virginia last
summer, the Herbert Hoover boys’ basketball team
spent the entire season practicing and competing
in unfamiliar places.
They’ll also end it in a place they’ve never been
before: the state tournament.
Herbert Hoover struggled through the regular
season with a losing record, then put together
four straight wins in the postseason, including a
double-overtime thriller in the regional finals, to
advance to the 104-year-old tournament for the
first time in school history.
Now the Huskies are ready for what they hope
will be one final incredible road show.
With the destruction from the floods still weighing heavily on the community, the Huskies (13-13)
open tournament play Thursday evening at the
Charleston Civic Center against defending champion Fairmont Senior.
“Nobody expected this out of us,” senior center
Chase King said.
Playing basketball was an afterthought last June
in the community of 1,200 about 20 miles northeast of Charleston. The Elk River rose 10 feet high
in some buildings, destroying bridges and ripping homes from their foundations. Six people in
Kanawha (KUH-naw) County died; 23 were killed
statewide.
Herbert Hoover coach Josh Daniel said every
student was directly affected or had a relative
whose home flooded. Members of the basketball
team joined other volunteers to help in the community in the weeks that followed.
King, who said the floods got into the second
floor of an uncle’s house, spent a week removing furniture from a woman’s home and pressure
washing and sanitizing other places. Senior guard
Kody McGraw went with a church group to clean
up storm victims’ homes and remove debris from
the school’s mud-caked baseball field.
Principal Mike Kelley was among the few who
walked the hallways of the school in the days after
the flood. That was before the school building was
condemned.
Daniel and the basketball team never got to see
the damage to the school firsthand. They weren’t
allowed back in and only saw the buckled floor of
the gymnasium from photographs.
“Just seeing those pictures, so many memories
washed down the drain,” King said.
Those are being replaced by greater ones.
When school started last fall, Herbert Hoover

Meigs sophomore Kassidy Betzing (30) captured Division II Honorable Mention all-Ohio girls basketball honors from the Associated
Press.
Meigs’ Betzing makes D-2 all-Ohio girls
By Paul Boggs
pboggs@civitasmedia.com
COLUMBUS, Ohio —
For the past two seasons,
Kassidy Betzing has been
arguably the young Meigs
Marauders’ best girls basketball player.
Betzing was rightly
rewarded for her sophomore season on Tuesday,
when — as announced by
the Associated Press —
she was named all-Ohio
Honorable Mention for
Division II girls.
Betzing, by making
second-team all-Southeast District from the
AP, automatically makes
all-Ohio Honorable Mention.
Last season, as a
freshman, she made
third-team all-Southeast
District.
This year, in leading
the Lady Marauders to
13 victories, the fivefoot seven-inch Betzing
bucketed 11.3 points per
game.
She was the Ohio Valley Publishing area’s only
Division II honoree, as
none from the OVP area
were named to the Division III squad.
Miami Trace, which
will represent the Southeast District as a Division II state semifinalist
beginning today (Thursday, March 16), tallied
two players higher than
Special Mention.
They were secondteamer Tanner Bryant
and third-teamer Victoria
Fliehman.
The Lady Panthers’
head coach, Ben Ackley,
was one of three Division
II Coaches of the Year.
The others included
Andy Holderman of Tipp
City Tippecanoe and
Brindi Kandel of Perry.
Jiselle Thomas of Norwalk was named as the
Player of the Year.
Chillicothe senior Osh
Brown, in capturing the
Division II Southeast
District Player of the
Year, automatically made
the all-state first team.
Joining Fliehman
on the third team was
Jackson junior Rebekah
Green.
Green averaged 23
points per game in leading the Ironladies once
again.
Jackson defeated the
Lady Marauders in the
regular season, but Meigs
managed a measure of
revenge when it won
the Division II sectional
semifinal between the
two clubs.
The AP all-Ohio girls
and boys basketball
teams are selected by a
media panel throughout
the Buckeye State, whose
outlets must be affiliated with the Associated
Press.
Those which make
either first-team or
second-team all-district
automatically make — at
least — either Special
Mention or Honorable
Mention all-Ohio.

TUPPERS PLAINS,
Ohio — On Friday in
the Eastern High School
lobby, one day after the
Lady Eagles’ basketball
season came to an end,
EHS senior Hannah
Bailey signed her letter of intent to join the
Muskingum University
women’s basketball team.
“I’ve always had the
dream of going to college
to play basketball,” said
Bailey, who missed the
majority of her senior
season due to injury. “I’ve
had a lot of fun here at
Eastern, I’m defiantly
going to miss it, but I’m
excited to go out and do
my own thing. With me
getting hurt, a lot of people have doubted me, so
that just gives me more
motivation to exceed at
the collegiate level.”
Bailey was a freshman
member of Eastern’s 2014
state championship squad
and is the sixth Lady
Eagle from that team to
sign to play basketball in
college. Along with missing time in her senior
season, Hannah also lost
part of her junior campaign to injury.
“I wish her nothing
but the best and with her
work ethic I think she’ll
come back stronger,”
EHS head coach Jacob
Parker said. “She is a very
coachable kid, which will
excel her at the collegiate
level. With her being that
coachable already and

with her being a student
of the game, I see great
things in her future.”
Coach Parker noted
that even though Hannah
was out for the year, she
was still an integral part
of the Lady Eagles’ run to
the Sweet 16 this winter.
“She’s been there every
night,” Coach Parker
said. “Whether it be
throwing some passes to

Villanova could be repeat champs
VILLANOVA, Pa.
(AP) — Kris Jenkins
buried the 3-pointer that
sparked book deals, red
carpet photo ops, a White
House trip, a handful of
award banquets and hundreds of perks that come
with winning a national
championship.
But the national title
did come with a tinge of
pressure that lingered
into this season — can
Villanova beat the odds
and become the first
back-to-back national
champs in 10 years?
“It’s always a reminder
that everybody expects
you to do it again,” coach
Jay Wright said. “That’s
part of the challenge.
When people say it’s hard
to repeat, that’s part of
why it’s hard to repeat, is
because you have to deal
with those expectations
all the time, those constant reminders of last
year.”
The reminders of April
were impossible to ignore
this season.
So were the warnings
for the rest of the NCAA
Tournament bracket that
this season’s Wildcats just
might be better than last
year’s edition.
“I don’t know if we’re
better,” Big East player of
the year Josh Hart said.
“I just know that we’re
playing just as well at the
end of the season.”
Duke, Kansas and
North Carolina are championship favorites at the
Las Vegas casinos. But
the shot at basketball history has helped drive the
Wildcats (31-3) toward
becoming the first repeat
champs since Florida in
2006 and 2007.
Led by coach Billy
Donovan, the Gators
were loaded with NBA
talent and the five starters from the ‘06 team
bypassed the pros for a
chance to repeat. Joakim

Villanova NCAA college basketball head coach Jay Wright talks to fans before boarding a bus as
the team departs Villanova, Pa., on Monday for a game in the first round of the NCAA Tournament,
in Buffalo, N.Y. Teams chasing a college basketball title are contending with an unexpected wrinkle
that’s making last-minute travel plans even tougher: the anticipation of a storm bearing down on the
Northeast that’s expected to dump snow and wind.
overall seed in the NCAA
Tournament. Florida beat
Ohio State in the title
game and became the
first program since Duke
in 1992 to repeat.
Florida was a champ
in 2006, relying on size,
shooting and maybe
some obscurity to win
its first national title.
The Gators took a far
different path a season
later, playing with lofty
expectations, mounting
pressure and the highest
of profiles.
They received more
media attention, causing
some players to believe
every loss was magnified
and every ho-hum win
was expected.
“I felt like once we
got to the tournament, I
could sense that our guys
felt pressure,” Donovan
said. “It was a little bit
different with that team.
I think they felt pressured
during the tournament.
I think once they got to
the Final Four, actually,
I think some of the pressure subsided, which
you would have thought
would be the opposite.”
Florida made a second
straight title look easy —
creating an aura of invincibility.
“Anytime you win like
that, and you have your
whole starting team
come back, the expectations change, and in a lot
of ways, you get critiqued
under a microscope, and
sometimes, that can take
the joy out of it,” Donovan said. “It’s like, you
win, but you didn’t win
by enough. You lost, but
you shouldn’t. All those
things get factored in.”
The Wildcats had some
of the same scrutiny, but
in a major sports market
like Philadelphia, the biggest victories or toughest losses never seem to
reach the same level of
feverish fan reaction as
the Eagles, Phillies, Flyers and even the 76ers.
Villanova spent eight
weeks at No. 1 in the AP
Top 25, were joined by
Kansas as the only teams
who spent the entire
season in the top 10, and
won Big East season and
tournament titles. The
Wildcats are the first
defending champion to
earn the tournament’s
overall top seed since,
yup, Florida in 2007. The
Wildcats also have the
fewest losses entering
the NCAA Tournament
by a defending national
champion since Duke lost
three times in 2001-02.
That’s the resume of
a program primed for a
repeat.
Wright, who also led
Villanova to the 2009
Final Four, has refused
to let the season become
defined by a championship.
“I think when you’re
a one seed to fans and
media, it would look like
a failure,” he said. “We’re
not afraid of failure, we’re
not afraid of people defining us as failures. As long
as we play hard for each
other, we’re good.”
The Wildcats, a No. 2
seed last season, aren’t
as stacked with potential
first-rounders as those
Gators. But Hart, Jenkins
and Jalen Brunson lead
the returning starters
that are tournament
tested and have the
championship experience
that can only help them
survive potential early
tests against Wisconsin,
Virginia, Florida and
maybe Duke just to reach
the Final Four.
After winning the
conference title in New
York, the Wildcats knew
the hard part had just
started.
“A lot of them said,
‘We’re not done yet,’”
Wright said.

Mount St. Mary’s beats New Orleans 67-66 to open First Four
DAYTON, Ohio (AP) —
Diminutive point guard Junior
Robinson fearlessly dribbled
into the heart of New Orleans’
defense, pulled up and hit
yet another of his oh-so-soft
jumpers. This one decided a
frenetic opening game for the
NCAA Tournament.
The smallest player in
Division I scored 23 points
Tuesday night, including that
go-ahead jumper with 1:27 to
play, and Mount St. Mary’s
held on for a 67-66 victory
over New Orleans in the First
Four.
The 5-foot-5 Robinson carried the Mountaineers (20-15)
to only their second NCAA
Tournament win, making
jumpers with so much arc they
appeared to tease the ceiling.
“The way he plays out there
— his speed, his athleticism
— it’s just so special,” coach
Jamion Christian said. “When
you’re a smaller guy, you’re
naturally going to have a chip
on your shoulder and you want
to go out there and show the
world the things you can do.”
The Mountaineers will head
to Buffalo to play defending
national champion and top
overall seed Villanova in the
East Regional on Thursday.
Help Wanted General
They had a charter flight waiting after the game.
“It’s a dream come true,”
guard Elijah Long said. “But
this is March Madness, and
this is part of the madness.”
Mount St. Mary’s led most
of the way, but New Orleans
(20-12) pulled off a comeback
befitting its resurgent season.
The Privateers had a chance
for a final shot, but Erik
Thomas’ inbound pass with
2.6 seconds left was off target
and stolen by the Mountaineers’ Chris Wray.
The Privateers’ tournament
appearance was part of a huge
turnaround for the school,
which was severely damaged
by Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
They went 10-20 last season,
but won the Southland’s
regular season and tournament titles for the first time in
school history.
Their final comeback came
up short.
After trailing by as many as
11 in the first half and nine in
the second, they briefly took
a 64-63 lead on Christavious
Gill’s free throws with 1:48
left. Robinson responded with
his soft jumper, and the Mountaineers held on.

Pick a winner? Las
Vegas casinos can’t
agree on NCAA fave
LAS VEGAS (AP) — Can’t decide the winner in
your March Madness bracket? Don’t feel bad. Las
Vegas casinos can’t agree on an NCAA Tournament favorite, either.
The Wynn Las Vegas and Westgate SuperBook
originally listed Duke as the odds-on pick to win
college basketball’s national championship on Sunday. But both books switched to North Carolina as
the favorite on Tuesday, less than 48 hours after
the brackets for the tournament were revealed.
Meanwhile, MGM Resorts International had
Kansas as a 5-1 favorite, while William Hill opened
with North Carolina and tightened its odds after
early wagers.
“This year, a lot of people believe there are eight
to 12 teams that can take home the tittle,” said Jay
Kornegay, Westgate’s sports book director. “The
odds are so close in the top contending teams that
any time you have an influx of money, that can
change the odds and make that team the favorite
at that time.”
At Westgate, North Carolina was followed by
Kansas at 6-1 — which leapfrogged original favorite Duke. The Blue Devils were at 7-1 and top
overall seed Villanova at 8-1.
“It’s uncommon; it’s a wide-open year,” said
Nick Bogdanovich, head oddsmaker for William
Hill, which runs more than 100 sports books in
Nevada. “Usually, there are seven or eight teams
that you can narrow it down to. But this year, I
think there are more teams that can win it than
ever before.”
The American Gaming Association, a lobbying
group for commercial and tribal casinos, estimates
that about $10.4 billion will be wagered on the
three-week hoops extravaganza that starts Tuesday night with play-in games and ends April 3
with the national championship game in Phoenix.
That’s $1.2 billion more than last year and only
$295 million of that will be bet legally, mostly at
sports books in Nevada.
Las Vegas casinos are getting ready for large
crowds, so much so that some resorts open overflow areas to accommodate basketball fans. To get
a seat, some will start lining up early Thursday.
Johnny Avello, the longtime oddsmaker and
sports book director for the Wynn Las Vegas, said
Duke was his favorite despite the ups and downs
the team saw this year.
“They could have been worthy of a 1-seed,
but the committee gave them a 2-seed… They
deserved to be my top team going into the tournament,” Avello said. “Plus, we’ve taken money on
them all year.”
Sports books are also taking proposition bets
— unique wagers offered on specific outcomes —
including on how many tournament games the Big
East Conference will win and the number of total
No. 1 seeds that will reach the Final Four.

relatively blind eye to fantasy football.
Weekly fantasy football
is considered gambling in
a handful of states, most of
which have differing definitions of what’s legal, mainly
relating to the amount of
luck vs. skill is involved in
the game being wagered on.
That debate is currently
brewing across the country
as daily-game fantasy sites
fight for their survival.
When it comes to office
pools, though, Bernhard
says you don’t have to be a
lawyer to understand the
basic idea.
“Clearly, it’s betting
something of value on an
event whose outcome is in
doubt, and that’s the definition of gambling,” he said.
“But it’s not something
legal authorities are looking
to crack down on.”
The NCAA looks at it differently.
Back in 2003, Washington’s Rick Neuheisel was
famously fired for participating in a high-stakes
March Madness pool —
even though he’s a football
coach.
Just last month, five
players on the University
of Richmond baseball team
were suspended for playing
fantasy football.
Freeman labeled that
story an instance of a
school delivering “absurd
punishments for students
engaging in mainstream
activities.”
The numbers show
there’s nothing more mainstream than filling out a
bracket.
Even if the studentathletes fueling all this madness aren’t allowed to.

year academic scandal
has hit yet another delay.
Spokeswoman Joanne
Peters said in an email
Wednesday that UNC
hasn’t submitted its
response due this week
to five NCAA charges
because it is “awaiting
guidance from the committee on infractions on a
new schedule.”
That comes as the
attorney for a woman at
the center of the scandal
said he is working with
the NCAA to set up an
interview after she had
previously refused to
speak with investigators.
Deborah Crowder, a
retired office administrator in the formerly named
African and Afro-American Studies (AFAM)
department, filed an
affidavit late last week
defending the quality
of courses offered while
attorney Elliot Abrams
wrote a letter saying
the NCAA had falsely
charged her with wrongdoing.
Abrams told The Associated Press on Wednesday that the NCAA
contacted him Friday, the
day after he sent those
documents.
“We are working with
the NCAA to obtain
access to the investigative file and develop a
schedule for her to be
interviewed,” Abrams
said. “We understand it’s
a big development in the
case, and look forward to
an opportunity to answer
questions the NCAA may
have.”
NCAA spokeswoman
Emily James didn’t immediately return an email
Wednesday.
UNC faces five top-level
charges, including lack of
institutional control, in a
case that grew as an offshoot of a probe launched
in 2010 into the football
program.
The AFAM irregularities are focused on
independent study-style
courses misidentified
as lecture classes that
didn’t meet and required
a research paper or two
while featuring significant
athlete enrollments.
The NCAA first
charged UNC in May
2015 and the school had
90 days to respond, but
that process paused shortly before that deadline
when the school reported
additional information for
the NCAA to review.
It took eight months for
the NCAA to send a second Notice of Allegations
(NOA) in April 2016 and
jumpstart the stalled case.
Then, after UNC filed
its response last August,
the NCAA took the
unusual step of sched-
uling a hearing solely
to address procedural
issues UNC had raised
— such as challenging
the NCAA’s jurisdiction
by saying its accreditation agency was proper
authority to handle the
matter.
The NCAA then sent
a third NOA in December, which reworded an
improper-benefits charge
tied to athlete access to
the courses that had been
removed between the first
and second versions.
Initially tied to conduct
by academic counselors,
the charge now focuses
on Crowder and former
department chairman
Julius Nyang’oro.
Crowder cooperated
with a 2014 investigation
by former U.S. Justice
Department official Kenneth Wainstein into the
AFAM irregularities.
His report estimated
more than 3,100 students
were affected between
1993 and 2011, with
athletes across numerous
sports accounting for
roughly half the enrollments in the problem
courses.
Wainstein’s report
focused blame largely on
Crowder and Nyang’oro,
noting Crowder graded
papers despite being an
office administrator and
not a faculty member.
James has triple-double,
Cavs beat Pistons 128-96
River Bend Animal Clinic

CLEVELAND (AP)
— LeBron James got his
52nd career triple-double
Tuesday, and that doesn’t
even count perhaps his
most notable assist of the
night.
James had 16 points,
11 rebounds and 12
assists, Kyrie Irving had
26 points and the Cleveland Cavaliers used a
blazing start to overpower the Detroit Pistons
128-96.
James was overpowering at moments, sometimes even against his
own teammates.
He flattened Irving
while grabbing a rebound
in the third quarter, but
helped him to his feet
before dribbling the ball
up the floor.
James said he was surprised to see Irving in his
path.
“I’m not going to let
him stay on the floor,”
James said. “I gotta get
my guy up and make sure
I get the ball up the court
before the eight-second
violation.”
Cleveland had lost four
of five, so a few laughs
were welcome.
Cavaliers coach Tyronn
Lue chuckled at the mention of his two best players colliding.
