Learning about dental health By Sarah Hawley shawley@aimmediamidwest.com SYRACUSE — Students and participants at Carleton School and Meigs Industries got a lesson in dental health and hygiene on Wednesday morning. Mr. Tooth, along with many of his friends, visited with the message of “Brush Your Teeth” through a skit and song by “The Rapping Dentist.” The song included information about brushing the teeth and tongue for good dental hygiene. Participating in the skit were Wyatt Shope as the Dentist; Mindy Patterson as the toothbrush; Glenn Hughes as the tongue; Christian Brockert as Mr. Tooth; Sara Richards as toothpaste; and Kristen Roush as the Tooth Fairy. Sandy Philson opened the program by talking with the students and asking questions about brushing their teeth, including how often to brush and for how long, how many teeth they Photos by Sarah Hawley | Sentinel Preschool students at Carleton School are pictured with Mr. Tooth and friends as part of the dental health presentation on Wednesday morning. have and what foods and drinks are good for teeth.

The Cholera epidemics of the 1800s By Jordan Pickens Special to OVP “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” – George Santayana. How, you may ask? A ﬁne example today is the hepatitis A epidemic you see happening in the news at fast food restaurants all around our region. What causes this disease to be transmitted? According to an article in an April edition of the Dayton Daily News, “Hepatitis A is a vaccine-preventable, communicable disease of the liver caused by the hepatitis A virus … . It is usually transmitted person-to-person through contact with an infected person’s stool, or consumption of contaminated food or water.” In other words, unsanitary health practices. Looking back to the ﬁrst half of the 19th century, the world had another epidemic from unsanitary health practices: cholera.

Downriver at Cincinnati, as a preventative measure, the burning of coal, delivered from Pomeroy, on every street corner gave hope that it would stop the disease from spreading. During the second epidemic in 1849, several cholera deaths were noted in Pomeroy and Letart; however, the ﬁrst reported deaths from cholera in that year were in the Baily family of Middleport. Cholera claimed the lives of David Baily and his wife, his daughter and son-inlaw, and David’s sister Mrs. Hudson. According to The Autobiography of Dr. Thomas H. Barton, The Self-Made Physician of Syracuse, Ohio, “The smoke of tobacco was regarded as a preventative and many persons, even women and small boys, had cigars almost constantly in their mouths. Others placed full conﬁdence in garlic…some chewed it constantly, others kept it in their pockets and shoes. Even the time honored custom of hand shaking fell into disrepute and many recoiled with affright at even the [offer] of a hand.” In Columbus, 116 inmates at the Ohio Penitentiary succumbed to the illness. Former President James Polk, a resident of Tennessee, was the most famous person to die of cholera in 1849. Cholera resulted in the postponement of the ﬁrst Ohio State Fair and the Ohio Constitutional Convention of 18501851. A total of 8,000 people in Cincinnati died in this epidemic, including Harriet Beecher Stowe’s infant son. Unfortunately for people stricken with cholera, the treatment was almost as bad as the illness. Doctors routinely prescribed calomel for cholera victims. Calomel contained mercury, and numerous people died from mercury poisoning or suffered other ill effects from this drug. As sanitation improved within the United States, including chlorination of water, the illness became less common. The standard treatment for cholera today is to keep the ill person hydrated with germ-free water or other ﬂuids… none of which include mercury. As the old Ohio ﬂows….

US pending home sales rebound WASHINGTON (AP) — More Americans signed contracts to buy homes in January as lower mortgage rates appeared to give the real estate market a boost. The National Association of Realtors said Wednesday its pending home sales index rose 4.6 percent last month to 103.2. The rebound has come as average 30-year mortgage rates have fallen since peaking at nearly 5 percent in early November. Still, higher mortgage rates in 2018 depressed pending sales by 2.3 percent over the past 12 months. The increase suggests that home sales may rebound this year after months of ﬂagging purchases. Key to any increase in sales is 30-year mortgage rates, which slipped last week to an average of 4.35 percent, according to mortgage buyer Freddie Mac. Lower borrowing costs improves affordability for homes, which until recently have generally seen their prices climb faster than wages.

If you have been a child or had a child in the last 50 years, chances are great that the program has graced your television set. By 2018, it was estimated that 86 million Americans had watched Bert, Ernie, Kermit, Big Bird, and the rest of the “Sesame Street” gang teach our Tom young children valuable life lessons, Dunn making it the most widely viewed Contributing children’s educational television procolumnist gram in the world. “Sesame Street” was the ﬁrst such program to develop a curriculum based on solid research on how little people learned. Experts created educational goals and a well-conceived curriculum to shape its content, and, even more importantly, the show never stopped evolving as more was learned about child development. “Sesame Street’s” goals were pretty simple. It wanted to use the hypnotic effect television holds over human beings, especially children, in a positive way. Its creators wanted to help better prepare preschoolers, particularly those from low income families, for school. As the program evolved, it focused not only on a child’s academic growth, but also on his or her social, emotional, and behavioral development. Its creators realized that those skills were as important to success as academic knowledge, which led to programs showing children how to develop relationships, how to be tolerant of others, how to manage their emotions, how to solve problems, and the importance of behaving ethically. You may have noticed that at no time has the show ever equated educating kids to incessantly testing them, as our politicians have done. It hasn’t done that because there was no research to suggest that it was an appropriate thing to do. Instead, the program remained dedicated to helping the whole child develop by focusing on his or her emotional, social, and behavioral skills, as well as his or her academic growth. It did this because its creators knew those skills were every bit as important as academic knowledge in achieving success. Meanwhile, our political “leaders” have done just the opposite with their laws. They have, for all intents and purposes, determined that the only thing that matters is a child’s academic prowess and performance on tests, and they have done this with no research to support their approach. Interestingly enough, one of the reasons the show was created ﬁve decades ago was because the research showed that children from disadvantaged economic environments were beginning school woefully lacking in the skills necessary to allow them to be successful. It was well established that when children were ill-prepared to begin school, they started out well behind those better prepared in a multitude of areas, and they were often unable to close the gap. Which is exactly what the research shows today, despite the fact that dozens upon dozens of politically motivated laws have been enacted that promised to help close the achievement gap by focusing only on academic achievement. I wonder how it feels to be outsmarted by Big Bird and Miss Piggy. Additionally, “Sesame Street’s” creators never pretended that it could replace poor or absentee parenting. It only hoped to supplement the skills that were (hopefully) being taught at home. It even touted the importance of “co-viewing” its programs, which is when parents or older siblings watch the program with a small child to ﬁll in the gaps as to what may confuse them about the lessons they are watching. What it never did was pretend that it was acceptable for parents to have children, then wash their hands of any future responsibility to educate them by sitting them in front of a television or sending them to school and expecting someone else to do their jobs. So, why do our politicians continue to adopt that attitude? Why do they insist on ignoring the role parents play in their child’s development while creating “accountability” rules that place the blame for uneducated children solely at the feet of schools? Why don’t they also blame “Sesame Street” for the difference in achievement between children from different economic strata? They don’t do it with “Sesame Street,” because it would be stupid to do so…just like it is with schools. A report released in 2015 by the National Bureau of Economic Research indicated that “Sesame Street” was as effective at preparing children for school as Head Start, more inclusive (since Head Start focuses only on economically See LESSONS | 5 THEIR VIEW A little quiz to end the month Grumble, grumble, “Why celebrate Black History Month?” I guess it’s because we want to, but I promise to look into celebrating Women’s History Month, LGBT History Month, Native American Heritage Month, Hispanic Heritage Month, Asian American Paciﬁc Islander Month and Irish American Heritage Month.

ROCKSPRINGS, Ohio — A slow start and a sectional exit. The Eastern boys basketball team had its campaign ended on Tuesday night inside Meigs High School’s Larry R. Morrison Gymnasium, as the ﬁfthseeded Eagles missed their ﬁrst dozen ﬁeld goal attempts and fell to fourth-seeded South Webster by a 63-50 count. Eastern (11-12) never led in the contest, as South Webster (12-10) opened the game with back-to-back three-pointers. After Garrett Barringer made a pair free throws for EHS, the Jeeps drained two more triples and led 12-2 with 1:22 left in the opening period. The Eagles cut the SWHS lead to 12-4 at the end of the ﬁrst, as Barringer beat the buzzer and connected Eastern’s 13 ﬁeld goal attempt of the night. The Eagles claimed four of the ﬁrst ﬁve points in the second period, but the Jeeps closed the half with a 15-to-5 run and a 28-13 lead. EHS was back within single digits after starting the second half 12-to-5 spurt, but South Webster answered with a 10-to4 run over the remainder of the third quarter and headed for the fourth with a 43-29 edge. The Jeeps claimed seven of the ﬁrst nine points in the fourth quarter and led 50-31 with four minutes to play. Eastern battled back to within 10 points, at 57-47, with 48 second left, but the Jeeps sealed the 63-50 sectional title win with a 6-to-3 run. Following the season-ending setback, ﬁrst-year EHS skipper David Kight was proud of his team for executing the game plan and containing the Jeeps’ biggest weapons. “They took our game plan and executed exactly what Coach (Matt) Simpson and I had asked from them,” Kight said. “We wanted to contain (Shiloah) Blevins, he’s the best athlete we’ve seen this year by far. (Braden) Bockway See EASTERN | 9 Ohio State beats No. 22 Iowa behind freshman’s 29 points COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Less than two weeks ago, Ohio State freshman Justin Ahrens didn’t even play in a home loss to lowly Illinois. Had Ahrens not played against Iowa on Tuesday night, the Buckeyes would not have pulled off a potentially season-changing win. Ahrens had a career-high 29 points and hit 6 of 10 3-pointers as Ohio State rolled to a 90-70 victory over No. 22 Iowa. “I hadn’t played all year, so they probably didn’t have the scouting report,” Ahrens said. “I’m going to keep working and doing what I can do to help this team win.” Ohio State coach Chris Holtmann noticed Ahrens was “invested” on the bench during the team’s Feb. 20 win over Northwestern. He then started Ahrens in the team’s loss at No. 24 Maryland on Saturday. Ahrens had nine points against the Terrapins and came into the game against Iowa with 38 points scored in 18 appearances. But he ended up hitting 7 of 11 shots from the ﬂoor and all nine of his free throws to help the Buckeyes bag their ﬁrst win over a ranked opponent in ﬁve tries this season. “I just tried to bring some energy to our team,” Ahrens said. “I think there is something special about our group.” Ohio State (18-10, 8-9 Big Ten), ﬁghting to improve its NCAA Tournament chances, outscored Iowa 54-37 in the second half. The Buckeyes hit 58 percent of their shots from the ﬂoor, 53 percent of their 3s (8 of 15) and 94 percent of their free throws (16 of 17) after halftime. “It was a fun night for our guys,” Holtmann said. “I love seeing our guys play with that level of joy and happiness. We have tremendous respect for Iowa and how hard they are to stop. We felt like if we couldn’t score the ball tonight it would be hard for us to win.” Kaleb Wesson chipped in 18 points and 11 rebounds for the Buckeyes, Keyshawn Woods scored 13, Andre Wesson had 11 and Duane Washington Jr. scored 10. “Give them some credit,” Iowa coach Fran McCaffery said. “They obviously shot the ball pretty well. We didn’t rebound very well. It’s hard to go on the road and have that happen.” Ahrens scored nine points in a span of 1:08 during a larger 12-2 Ohio State run that put the Buckeyes up 74-56 with 8:42 left in the game. “Man, it was just great,” Kaleb Wesson said of Ahrens’ breakout performance. “You see him putting up extra shots after every practice. You see it pay off. It’s great to see that kind of stuff.” Ahrens’ 29-point game is tied for the sixth most See OHIO | 9 OVP SPORTS SCHEDULE Thursday, Feb. 28 Boys Basketball (4) Point Pleasant at (1) Nitro, 7 p.m. Girls Basketball (2) Eastern vs. (1) Portsmouth ND at Jackson HS, 6:15 Friday, March 1 Wrestling D-3 Districts at Troy HS, 3 p.m. D-3 Districts at Buckeye Local HS, 4 p.m. D-2 Districts at Heath Local HS, 4 p.m. Rio Grande Athletics Indoor Track at NAIA Championships, 11 a.m. Baseball at IU-Southeast, 3 p.m. Softball at Gulf Shores (AL), 5:30 Saturday, March 2 Wrestling D-2 Districts at Heath Local HS, 9 a.m. D-3 Districts at Buckeye Local HS, 9 a.m. D-3 Districts at Troy HS, 10 a.m. Rio Grande Athletics Indoor Track at NAIA Championships, TBD Baseball at IU-Southeast, 1 p.m. Softball at Gulf Shores (AL), 10 a.m. Photos by Bryan Walters | OVP Sports Point Pleasant defenders Braxton Yates (24) and Kyelar Morrow (2) apply pressure to a Sissonville player during the second half of Tuesday night’s Class AA Region IV, Section 1 basketball contest in Point Pleasant, W.Va. Point rallies past Indians, 75-74 By Bryan Walters bwalters@aimmediamidwest.com POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. — It was like déjà vu in reverse … except for the ﬁnal outcome. That part was just good old-fashioned déjà vu. For the second time this season, visiting Sissonville lost a lead in the ﬁnal seconds of regulation and ultimately dropped a one-point decision to the Point Pleasant boys basketball team on Tuesday night 75-74 in the opening round of the Class AA Region IV, Section 1 tournament held at The Dungeon in Mason County. The fourth-seeded Big Blacks (8-15) were down 12-0 barely over two minutes into regulation and trailed by as many as 18 points with 3:51 left in the fourth, but the hosts ultimately made an 18-0 charge over the ﬁnal 2:53 while rallying back for a 75-74 edge with 22 seconds remaining. The ﬁfth-seeded Indians (4-18) had multiple opportunities to reclaim the lead down the stretch, particularly after PPHS missed a pair of free throws with 3.3 seconds left. The guests, however, came up short on three different possessions — allowing Point Pleasant to advance with the onepoint outcome. The Big Blacks squandered a 20-point third quarter lead against SHS in the ﬁrst matchup at Point back on Feb. 12, but PPHS ultimately used a Bradyn Canterbury layup with ﬁve seconds left to wrap up the 70-69 triumph. Tuesday night, Kyelar Morrow played the role of hero — and did so in back-to-back capacity. Trailing 74-69 with 1:05 left, Morrow nailed a trifecta with 38 seconds left to close the gap down to two points. The Big Blacks followed with a steal and found Morrow again with an open look around the wing. Morrow’s 3-pointer with 22 seconds remaining also found the bottom of the net, allowing the hosts to secure a permanent cushion at 75-74. Sissonville’s ensuing possession resulted in a pair of shot attempts and a foul that put Braxton Yates at the line for a pair Point Pleasant junior Aidan Sang (5) dribbles past a Sissonville of free throws. defender during the second half of Tuesday night’s Class AA Region IV, Section 1 basketball contest in Point Pleasant, W.Va.

West Virginia played Tuesday’s game with only eight scholarship players. “That’s the reason we practice three hours,” McCabe said. “That’s the reason we do the stuff we do in the off season. I just think that our coaching staff prepared us for stuff like that. They prepared us for everything.” McCabe had his second straight game in double ﬁgures with a career-high 25 points and his ﬁrst career double-double with 11 assists. Culver’s seventh double-double of the season came behind 22 points and 21 rebounds. Haley added 18 points and West chipped in 17.

Joe Wieskamp had 17 points to lead Iowa (217, 10-7), and Tyler Cook added 12 points. The ﬁrst half was played fairly evenly with seven ties and three lead changes. OSU’s C.J. Jackson splashed a 3-pointer in the ﬁnal minute to stake his team to a 36-33 halftime advantage. There were swings each way as Iowa’s Jordan Bohannon produced four points on a possession after OSU’s Holtmann was assessed a technical foul. Ahrens also had a four-point play as Iowa’s Nicholas Baer was hit with a ﬂagrant foul for grabbing him on a drive attempt. Eastern From page 6 is extremely good in his own right, and extremely skilled. We didn’t want them to kill us, we were going to make the other guys beat us from the perimeter for 32 minutes, and that’s exactly what they did. “We didn’t quite have our legs under us at the beginning, that could have been nerves. We haven’t seen their length all year long, we’ve seen big teams, but not really their length. The tournament is a different breed, it’s a different creature, if we would have played the ﬁrst half like we played the second half, things might have been different. Hat’s off to South Webster, congrats on the sectional title and good luck at the Convo.” For the game, Eastern shot 20-of-54 (37 percent) from the ﬁeld, including 5-of-18 (27.8 percent) from beyond the arc. Meanwhile, South Webster was 19-of-49 (38.8 percent) from the ﬁeld, including 10-of26 (38.5 percent) from three-point range. At the foul line, EHS was 5-of8 (62.5 percent), while SWHS was 15-of-20 (75 percent). EHS senior Isaiah Fish led all-scorers with 19 points, featuring a trio of three-pointers. Barringer recorded nine points and 10 rebounds for the Eagles, while Sharp Facemyer and Colton Reynolds scored seven points each, with Reynolds earning a team-best three assists. Mason Dishong contributed four points, seven rebounds and three steals to the Eagle cause, Blaise Facemyer chipped in with two points, while Ryan Dill added one marker. Jacob Ruth and Braden Bockway both made three triples ﬁnished with 16 Tempers ﬂared in the second half as McCaffery and his son, Iowa freshman Connor McCaffery, were hit with technical fouls. Big picture Ohio State: The Buckeyes came into the game on the NCAA Tournament bubble and badly needed the win over a ranked team. They still have two more games against ranked opponents, visiting No. 14 Purdue Saturday and hosting No. 19 Wisconsin on March 10. Iowa: The Hawkeyes had won ﬁve of six heading into the game but couldn’t overcome Ahrens and the Buckeyes. Still, most projections have Iowa safely in the NCAA ﬁeld of 68.

Mayock said he’s spoken to just about every top quarterback in the NFL since 2004 and he’s asked them all the same question: What bothers you the most? “And almost every topﬂight quarterback says, ‘immediate pressure up the middle,’” Mayock said. “It disturbs sight lines, forces you to readjust your feet. So, I think we’re at the point now where people are throwing the ball so much that you’ve got to ﬁnd a way to affect it regardless.” Broncos new coach Vic Fangio concurred, saying it’s no longer enough to have two great pass rushers such as Denver’s duo of Von Miller and Bradley Chubb. “You want four guys that the quarterback can feel caving in on him,” Fangio said. “And that’s critical in the pass rush. And that’s an area that we need to improve in.” There’s plenty of those players in Indianapolis for interviews, physicals and testing this week. Despite the down year for QBs, there’s still plenty of intrigue at the position thanks to Kyler Murray, who followed Mayﬁeld from the state of Texas to Oklahoma, won the Heisman Trophy like Mayﬁeld did, and is now following the Cleveland Browns’ starting QB to the NFL after spurning the Oakland Athletics. and six lead changes alone in the second frame, and neither squad led by more than a single From page 6 possession.

Trae Zimmerman scored 14 points and earned two steals in the win, Tanner Voiers added 11 points and six assists, while Shiloah Blevins ﬁnished with six points and 15 rebounds. This was the ﬁnal game in the prep careers of EHS seniors Sharp Facemyer, Blaise Facemyer, Isaiah Fish, Dylan Creath, Noah Browning and Evin Bauer, who Coach Kight credited as foundation for the future of Eagle basketball. “I love them, I wish I could have spent more time with them than just one year,” Kight said. “They bought into what I wanted them to do from the very beginning. Great leadership, great kids, and they are the foundation for this new era of Eastern basketball.” The Eagles have now had double-digit wins in back-to-back seasons, with this year’s total of 11 victories as the program’s most since the 2010-11 campaign. Coach Kight is hoping to build on what his squad did this winter, as they look to end a six-year sectional title drought next season. “We did some good things this year, there’s deﬁnitely a lot of things we can build on going into next year,” said Kight. “We’ve got some kids back, and we’ve got some other kids coming who were successful at the jay-vee level. We’re going to get back in the gym sometime in April, and hopefully the bitter taste of not making it out of here sticks with them so we can change some fortunes and get out of here next year.” South Webster returns to action in the district semiﬁnal against New Boston at 2 p.m. on Sunday at Ohio University. line position, inside, outside, it’s outstanding. And it carries deep into the draft.” It’s not only the rush, but the push. Defensive ends led by Ohio State’s Nick Bosa and Clemson’s Clelin Ferrell are prized pass rushers, but nowadays players such as Clemson D-tackles Christian Wilkins and Dexter Lawrence are just as highly valued for their interior pressure. “I think we’re getting to the point in this league where we’ve become such a pass-ﬁrst league that you take those guys wherever you can get them,” said Mike Mayock , who parlayed a 14-year run as the NFL Network’s draft guru into INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — This year’s class of quarterback prospects isn’t as sexy as last year’s group led by Baker Mayﬁeld and Sam Darnold. Nor does it feature the tantalizing talents of next year’s headliners: Tua Tagovailoa, Justin Herbert and Jake Fromm. There are a few passers who merit ﬁrst-round consideration, but what teams will see an abundance of at the NFL scouting combine this week are the players who will make their living chasing, corralling and clobbering quarterbacks. “To me, it’s all about big guys,” NFL Network analyst Daniel Jeremiah said. “Premier talent and depth at the defensive MIDDLEPORT, Ohio — The Middleport Youth League will have baseball and softball signups for boys and girls ages 4-16 on Saturday, March 2, and Saturday, March 9 from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. at the Middleport Jail.

TVMA �SPORTS 10 Thursday, February 28, 2019 Daily Sentinel Penguins beat Blue Jackets 5-2 COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — After the Columbus Blue Jackets beefed up their roster at the NHL trade deadline for a Metropolitan Division playoff run, the injury-plagued Pittsburgh Penguins came to town looking more vulnerable than usual. Missing some top defensemen, the Penguins jumped out to a threegoal lead anyway and then held off the new-look Blue Jackets, cruising to a 5-2 win Tuesday night in a game marked by monster hits and scufﬂes. Jared McCann scored twice and Matt Murray made 21 saves as Pittsburgh — which began the day tied for the second wild card in the Eastern Conference — snapped a two-game skid. The Penguins were without blue-liners Kris Letang (upper body) and Brian Dumoulin (concussion), who were hurt in the outdoor game Saturday at Philadelphia. Pittsburgh defenseman Ollie Maata was already on injured reserve with a separated shoulder. But the Penguins held Columbus in check, even after another defenseman, Chad Ruhwedel, went out after a big hit from Blue Jackets captain Nick Foligno. Ruhwedel and wing Bryan Rust, injured in a violent collision with Jay LaPrete | AP Pittsburgh Penguins’ Matt Cullen, left, checks Columbus Blue Jackets’ Matt Duchene during the second period Tuesday in Columbus, Ohio. The Penguins won 5-2. Columbus newcomer Adam McQuaid, will be evaluated Wednesday, coach Mike Sullivan said. Jake Guentzel, Evgeni Malkin and Sidney Crosby also scored for Pittsburgh. “We’ve got nothing but character in here, for sure,” Murray said. “It’s tough seeing teammates go down, they were important guys for us, so we had a job to do and tonight everybody stepped up, so it was awesome to see.” Oliver Bjorkstrand and Cam Atkinson scored and Sergei Bobrovsky stopped 22 shots for the Blue Jackets, who lost after posting back-toback shutouts last week and making a ﬂurry of moves before Monday’s trade deadline. Columbus started the day in third place in the division. Columbus added cen- ter Matt Duchene, wing Ryan Dzingel, defenseman McQuaid and goalie Keith Kinkaid. All but Kinkaid played on Tuesday night, with Dzingel, a former star at Ohio State, picking up an assist for his new team. Crosby sent a centering pass from the left corner to Guentzel in the slot and he went top shelf on Bobrovsky with 6:15 left in the ﬁrst period to open the scoring. NASCAR rules package gets early passing grade HAMPTON, Ga. (AP) — The verdict is still out on NASCAR’s new competition package following its innocuous debut at Atlanta Motor Speedway. The race was not the best in NASCAR history, nor was it unwatchable. It was, if nothing else, better than last year’s race at Atlanta and that is a win for NASCAR right now. Series ofﬁcials ﬁnally conceded last season that the on-track product was failing to attract new fans and needed an overhaul. The result was a package that reduced horsepower and increased downforce, efforts to bring the cars closer together and present more passing opportunities. What that actually meant on the track was a mystery before Sunday’s race at Atlanta, won by Brad Keselowski following his brief bout with a stomach virus.

Bask in our balmy weather, laze on the shores of South Padre Island, enjoy our sizzling cuisine and let us entertain you by our many cultural events. So, pack light and come on down now, or plan ahead for your next winter getaway to the Rio Grande Valley, where short sleeve shirts are all you’ll need! For more Rio Grande Valley fun in the sun, check out the following link... The trouble with the debut is that Atlanta is unlike any other intermediate track in NASCAR and the asphalt on the 1.54-mile quad-oval is the oldest in the series. The track is rough and bumpy, passing is always difﬁcult and the racing is not likely to be replicated again this season. So Atlanta was really just a sneak peek of what NASCAR hopes will dramatically improve over its upcoming three-week West Coast swing. “I’d have to say a solid B. No one gets an A on their ﬁrst exam, I don’t think,” winning team owner Roger Penske said. From his vantage point high above the track on the spotter stand, Penske said, he twice watched Joey Logano pick his way through trafﬁc to the front of the pack. He saw drivers using the preferred top lane slip to the bottom going into Turn 2 and stay there down the straightaway, and the cars generally just seemed under control. “You didn’t see any accidents, which maybe the fans like that, but I thought overall the package showed well,” Penske said. “It wasn’t a crash-fest, which everybody said it was going to be potentially. It looks like there’s a lot of equal cars running out there. It’s going to come up to the drivers and the strategy, which is what we want.” NFL combine snubs can look to Lindsay for inspiration DENVER (AP) — More than 330 of college football’s ﬁnest players are gathering in Indianapolis this week for the NFL’s annual combine, where they’ll be poked and prodded, timed and tested, quizzed and questioned. Not all the players who will get drafted in April are on the invite list. The combine simply can’t accommodate all worthy candidates, and some prospects will work their way into teams’ draft plans via their impressive pro day performances or private team workouts in the coming weeks. Emblematic of the inexact science of projecting which players will succeed in the pros is this: Super Bowl 53 featured 30 undrafted players on the rosters of the New England Patriots (16) and Los Angeles Rams (14). More than a third of the 300-plus players invited to the combine last year didn’t get drafted, whereas 38 players who weren’t at the combine did. Among them were P.J. Hall, a defensive tackle from Sam Houston State who was drafted by Oakland in the second round, and two players from Southern Miss: defensive back Tavarius Moore, a 49ers’ third-rounder, and running back Ito Smith, a fourth-round selection by Atlanta. The biggest snub last year was Colorado running back Phillip Lindsay , the ﬁrst undrafted offensive player ever selected to the Pro Bowl. Lindsay understandably has chips on both shoulders, one for going uninvited to the combine and the other for going undrafted altogether, and he ﬁgures one had plenty to do with the other. “Oh yeah, it’s disrespectful. But it fueled my ﬁre and got me here to where I am today,” Lindsay said. “Maybe I wasn’t meant to go to the combine.” Miffed that John Elway had used a seventhround selection on Arkansas running back David Williams, whose career numbers over four years with the Razorbacks didn’t even add up to Lindsay’s senior stats, the Colorado native nearly took the Baltimore Ravens’ offer before calling back and accepting the Broncos’ proposal. “But I’m going to win the starting job,” Lindsay added as he hung up on his new employer, vowing to beat out Williams, third-round pick Royce Freeman, incumbent Devontae Booker, and anyone else they would bring in. At 5-foot-8, Lindsay was accustomed to the underdog role, so he was ready to put his immeasurable attributes such as desire and hustle up against anyone’s bench press, 40-yard dash or vertical jump. “It comes down to heart,” Lindsay said. “It comes down to you not sitting here and letting people tag you as something. They’re sitting here telling you this is who you are. How dare somebody tell you this is who you are? That’s why it’s funny when these commentators tell you he’s going this round or he’s not this, he’s not that. “We don’t sit here and critique how they talk on TV, and a lot of time what they’re talking about, it’s stupid.” OVP SPORTS BRIEFS Trio to represent Rio the national qualiﬁers at 14:12.53.
