Welker was invited Sept. 22 to the Ohio State Capitol building in Columbus to receive an award from the “Ohio’s Hill Country Heritage Area Foundation,” in recognition of his achievements and positive impact on the local economy. POMEROY — Even before ﬁlling the vacancy left by the late Mary McAngus, and later being elected to the position, Pomeroy Mayor Jackie Welker knew that a leadership role in local government was what he wanted to achieve. “It was sort of a natural progression,” he said, after moving from the position of president of council to mayor. “I was just wanting to continue to be involved.” One of Welker’s ﬁrst projects that he remembers was the task of razing six former properties that had been known for drug issues and were abandoned and condemned. And one of Welker’s last projects was also one of this favorites — the new skate park located near Mechanic Street. The park ofﬁcially opened Dec. 12, although it was completed Dec. 5, and is the work of Welker and Brewce Martin, among others. Ofﬁcial plans for the park began when Martin received the call from Pomeroy Mayor Jackie Welker earlier in 2015 about the project that progress has been made quickly. Welker said the grant for the skate park was around $30,000 and provided by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources. After receiving the OK, Martin said he went down to the spot for the park — a spot of land near Pomeroy’s ﬁre station and basketball court — and began to plan. Ground was ﬁrst broken Oct. 13 of this year. Martin said that aside from drawing up plans and digging out the area for the park, the team had to put in the wooden transitions, set the rebar, or reinforcement bars, and pour what Martin described as “100 yards of concrete” over multiple days. The skate park, which Martin and Welker hope to someday expand, has areas called transitions and two “bowls,” or pits, about the size of swimming pools to allow skaters to perform. One of the bowls has been aptly named “the peanut bowl.” “I worked on the skate park for years and I hope Mayor-Elect (Bryan) Shank will continue to improve upon that Mechanic Street area,” Welker said. “We can see it as a nice big green See MAYOR | 5 Area man is sentenced in burglary case By Beth Sergent bsergent@civitasmedia.com POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. — One of two men arrested after multiple break-ins at the home of a local family, has entered into a plea agreement and been sentenced in Mason County Circuit Court. Zachary M. Cline, 30, Henderson, entered a plea of guilty to felony conspiracy. Upon his conviction, Judge David W. Nibert sentenced Cline to not less than one, nor more than ﬁve years, in prison. He was given credit for 225 days already served in jail and charged $277 in court costs. He is currently housed at the Western Regional Jail. Cline was indicted by the Cline September term of the grand jury, along with Michael R. Richmond, 28, Point Pleasant, in regards to the case of breakins at the home of Deron and Missy Deem, on Letart Rd. just outside Point Pleasant. Cline was indicted for burglary, petit larceny, conspiracy. Richmond was indicted for burglary, three counts; petit larceny; grand larceny; conspiracy. Richmond has entered a not guilty plea to the charges and a hearing in his case is set for January 2016. As previously reported, back on April 2, Missy Deem said her two daughters arrived home to ﬁnd a back door unlocked and the family later discovered jewelry and a television missing. Then, on April 23, another burglary, this time more jewelry was missing and someone had unsuccessfully attempted to remove a large, ﬂatpanel television bolted to the wall. After the second break-in, Missy told the Point Pleasant Register she and her husband realized See BURGLARY | 5 — NEWS Obituaries: 2 Opinion: 4 Weather: 5 Welcoming the ‘Visiteur’ at area gallery By Beth Sergent bsergent@civitasmedia.com POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. — With Christmas lights starting to come down in some places, there are still beautiful things to see in Point Pleasant. More recently, Gallery at 409 hosted its annual Christmas Gala which is both a fundraiser and a celebration of the past year. This year’s celebration included the unveiling of the latest work by Jamie Sloane of Gallipolis, Ohio. The main piece at the gala was Sloane’s “Visiteur No. 1” which will be on display through the end of this this month. Joining Sloane at the gala was Miranda Wood, formerly of Gallia County, who was the model for the painting. Though Wood was all smiles, her counterpart on canvas was not, and is quite ﬁerce looking, though not in a “fabulous” way. She is far removed from Wood’s personality in real life. Wood currently teaches kindergartners at a private school. Sloane has said he wanted to create a character in his head in terms of the persona in the portrait who has Wood’s face. He said when he ﬁrst met Wood, it was almost like he’d met her before, in another time. He jokingly likened it to him being a jester in her court with Wood having the power to take his head off. This thought was both amusing and inspiring, helping him churn out a regal looking ﬁgure on canvas with a discerning eye to all those who enter Gallery at 409.

Follow the reporter at http://www.twitter. com/dansewell $650M in untaxed gambling freebies need review By Julie Carr Smyth AP Statehouse Correspondent COLUMBUS — Failing to tax more than $650 million worth of promotional freebies at casinos and racinos has been a direct hit to Ohio’s school districts and local governments, and the practice should be reconsidered, a divided legislative panel recommended Monday. In its strongly worded report, the Joint Committee on Gaming and Wagering urged state lawmakers to consider revoking tax exemptions to the gambling parlors “to protect the interests of Ohio’s schools, local government, and taxpayers.” A technical analysis of spending and revenue data since 2012 didn’t bear out industry claims that offering free money to customers ultimately increased taxable income at Ohio gambling houses, the report said. The analysis, conducted by the ofﬁce of state Sen. William Coley, a Middletown Republican who chairs the committee, showed no pattern between how much a casino spent on promotional freebies and its overall revenue. “The results raise serious questions as to whether it is in Ohio’s best interest to continue with the current tax exemption on promotional play,” the report said. Penn National Gaming spokesman Bob Tenenbaum said the casino operator strongly opposes elimination of promotional spending tax credits. “Any change in the current promotional tax credit would, as we told the committee, negatively impact casino revenues, hinder the growth of the industry in Ohio, and make it more difﬁcult for Ohio gaming facilities to compete with those in neighboring states,” he said. Tenenbaum said that would drive customers to facilities in Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Indiana and Michigan that Ohio’s casino legalization decision aimed to avoid. The report called that argument “specious” — though at least one legislator who signed onto it said he is sympathetic to the casinos’ position. “I don’t support the recommendation to tax promotional items,” said state Rep. Stephen Slesnick, a Canton Democrat. “That kind of gives a leg up to Ohio’s casinos that allows them to offer a special opportunity to people who want to go and gamble.” Of 26 states that offer commercialized gambling, Ohio is one of nine that neither limit nor tax promotional spending, the report said. Nine others cap promotional spending, and the remaining eight tax promotional spending as they do other dollars wagered.

Intuition is a bell that tinkles to snap us out of the habit of living by rote memory. Sure, routines provide structure to our lives, but change is the one constant we can count on. In order to slough off our habitual responses, we must rely on that subtle gut feeling to nudge us in the direction that is organically life-enhancing. It always tickles me when I know my electricity is off and I ﬁnd myself ﬂipping on the light switch anyway. I’m a few feet away before I realize I’m standing in the dark and wondering how many responses I make daily that are made in a repetitive semi-conscious state. I don’t want to roll through life just ﬂipping switches out of habit. I want Michele Z. to make conscious choices— ones that are less automatic and more driven by Marcum �98><3,?>381� divine design. Last year my mom got sick and her �96?783=> doctor tested her for several possible causes that could cause her symptoms. Several weeks passed with mom getting worse and still no answers. As I spoke with her on the phone, the word “gallbladder” seemed to hang in the air above me, but the medical tests had indicated it was ﬁne. At my insistence, she had another test performed on it and the doctor found her gallbladder was only functioning at eight percent and was indeed the ailment that was causing her distress. Thankfully, I had dismissed the risk of sounding absurd and heeded my gut feeling. Much like our hunches, bells grab our attention. They ding us into and out of classes and alert us to cease the old year and commence a new one. Bells announce new beginnings at weddings and fresh endings at funerals. The “State House Bell” was adopted by slavery abolitionists and renamed the “Liberty Bell” as a symbol of freedom. In April of this year, it tolled in commemoration of the 150th anniversary of the end of the Civil War and a subsequent new beginning for the freed slaves. Unlike the slaves, we need not wait to live freely, but, we get accustomed to waiting for alerts to tell us that it’s time to move on to the next activity or appointment. We often neglect to notice the bells that only we can hear — the ones that are pulled by our heartstrings like when we know we should take a walk with a friend, but choose to wash the car instead or when we join another committee knowing its mission isn’t our calling, or when we mindlessly trudge to work even though our passion is embedded on a different career path. We will keep stumbling through a maze of mistakes unless we allow our internal bells to rattle us out of familiar patterns. So, listen to your inner voice and follow its lead as you ring in your new year — your own truth.

Not that they’ve ever been easy, at Why are Americans upset, and least in my lifetime. Our size, divermore willing than usual to rally to sity, and multi-layered government structure; the number and complexity outlying candidates? I don’t think there’s any great mystery. For startof the problems our political leaders ers, we have a society that is deeply face daily; and the divided politics concerned about economic insecurity; of our time, which make settling on as the Pew Research Center reported coherent policies especially challengrecently, the American middle class ing — all these combine to make — for decades the stable anchor of being a politician in a representative economy and society — is in trouble democracy one of the most demanding jobs around. Several features of the and no longer in the majority. People are moving up, but most are not, and current political landscape, however, some are moving down. Small wonder give politics a sharper edge and make that immigration causes so much it far more difﬁcult to navigate. For starters, our political discourse, concern. You can add to this the fear of terfrom city councils to state legislatures rorism and a deeply unsettled view to Congress, is less forgiving than of the major changes taking place in it was a generation ago. Political American society: the rise of big data opponents are no longer just people and its attendant loss of privacy; the with whom we happen to disagree migration ﬂows that whittle away — they’re people who need to be at some communities while causing shamed into silence. They can’t be trusted, they can’t be negotiated with, others to change unrecognizably from month to month; the tensions that they’re self-serving and unpatriotic, diversity, arguments over gender, and when they’re not incompetent, and racial conﬂict all produce; the they’re scheming, ill-informed and illﬂuid and ever-changing patterns of intentioned. This rhetoric is not just religious belief and identity that have calculated demonization. The extent shaken many communities loose from to which politicians today genuinely the institutions that once moored distrust the other side is something them; the decline of the traditional, objective media. America today is an uneasy place, and we see this reﬂected in voters’ frustration and pessimism. With next year’s elections still almost a year away, voters are mostly just looking around. They like candidates who express their anger and resentment, but that’s in part because they’re not measuring candidates by whether they seem ﬁt for the presidency or Congress or the governor’s mansion. Voters are just now starting to hold candidates up to the standards of the ofﬁces they seek; as they do, the unsettled political environment in which we ﬁnd ourselves will grow a bit less uncertain. But the long-term issues — the fears and uncertainty and the forces driving them — won’t have gone away. Which is why I feel great sympathy for politicians at the moment. The skills we need in our political leaders, like the ability to approach those with whom they disagree with a measure of good will and an openness to negotiation and compromise, are not held in high esteem by the voters or by the loudest voices in their own parties. It’s easy for a politician to pander to anger and frustration. It’s much harder to face a roomful of disparate opinions and forge a consensus behind a solution. Yet that is precisely what many politicians recognize our country needs. �//��+736>98�3=�+��3=>381?3=2/.�#-296+<M��8.3+8+� %83@/<=3>C�#-2996�90��69,+6�+8.��8>/<8+>398+6� #>?.3/=O�+8.�+� <90/==9<�90� <+->3-/M��%�#-2996� 90� ?,63-�+8.��8@3<987/8>+6��H+3<=L��/�A+=�+� 7/7,/<�90�>2/�%L#L��9?=/�90�"/:</=/8>+>3@/=� for 34 years. OUR VIEW We should learn from children how to get along As 2015 comes to an end, it is far from difﬁcult to remember the tumultuous year that was and the task that lies ahead. As part and parcel of any election cycle, solutions to our ills are being bandied about by candidates for public ofﬁce, especially the overﬂowing ﬁeld for president. There seems to be very little agreement as to what those solutions should be. Getting agreement on any topic is impossible it seems, which is par for the course in American politics, because let’s face it, if you agree with your opponent on any matter at all, you just aren’t original and have no business leading. But with all the dissension out there, there could be a way to ﬁnd a solution to all of these social and religious upheavals, and it may never be a more ﬁtting time to offer it than now, during the Christmas season. The problem is, while it is sensible and actually is profound in its way, there is no way it could ever be instituted. Not everyone observes Christmas, and despite the opinions of many, that’s OK. A difference of opinion is actually not a bad thing because it fosters discussion and growth — although you wouldn’t think that were true the way things have been going. And while not everyone observes or believes, there is a message that applies to everyone, no matter their faith, race, sexual orientation, or socioeconomic position. We all began in the same way, which is where the solution to the world’s hatred and divisiveness resides. As we age it is assumed experience and maturity are good things, but when talking about the sad state of our world, full of hatred, violence, and venom, it is exactly the aging and maturation process that breeds issues such as those causing so much heartache and death around the world. When you were a child, someone at some point told you to mind your own business — in one way or another, though the words may have been different — because you were a child and had no concept of what you were discussing. Instead it has always been assumed adults had what it takes to run the world, but that isn’t true. These same adults are bigots, prejudiced, greedy, cruel, violent, jaded, and otherwise stilted in their view of the world. But, no, this adult outlook has and will ruin the world. Want to solve the world’s ills? Take a few notes from the playbook that is being a child. Here are some of the most important rules children live by that the rest of the adult world could learn from: s��>2/<�-236.</8�.9�89>�2+@/�=538� color, other than it is different and has no effect on how they play hide and seek.

Children are clean slates with no preconceived notions of prejudices. Those are behaviors taught to them by adults and once ingrained are difﬁcult to remove, if it is ever possible to do so. Maybe the leaders and citizens of this world should stop thinking as adults and begin to think as children once again, as the adult way of doing business does not seem to be going so well. Besides, who among you would not relish the chance to be a happy, carefree, loving and forgiving child once again?

(AP) — The closest you’ll get to an admission that the Chiefs were staring at a season down the drain may have come from linebacker Derrick Johnson, who stood in a quiet corner of the locker room Sunday. Kansas City had just held off the Cleveland Browns 17-13 for a franchise record-tying ninth straight victory, and then clinched a spot in the playoffs when Pittsburgh lost to Baltimore. “We got as far as you could get in the hole,” Johnson said, “to still make it to postseason play.” The Chiefs (10-5) could do even better, too. If they beat Oakland next Ed Zurga | AP Kansas City Chiefs running back Charcandrick West (35) runs away from Cleveland week at Arrowhead Stadium, Browns defensive end John Hughes (93) and inside linebacker Craig Robertson (53) and the Broncos lose to Cinduring the first half of an NFL football game in Kansas City, Mo., on Sunday. cinnati on Monday night or next week against San Diego, Kansas City would capture the most improbable of AFC West titles. “There is still a lot to play for,” said Alex Smith, who threw two touchdown passes against the Browns. “I think this team and this locker room have a good mindset about going about their business.” The Chiefs jumped to a 17-3 halftime lead Sunday and looked like they were cruising to an easy win against a team that had quit. But their offense became listless over the ﬁnal two quarters, just as Johnny Manziel was pumping some life into the Browns. The former Heisman Trophy winner led Cleveland (3-12) to 10 straight points, then took over at his 30 with 1:52 left and no timeouts. The Browns picked up three ﬁrst downs, and then Manziel connected with Darius Jennings on fourth-and-10 from the 32 with time ticking away. The clock ran out before Manziel could get off another snap, and he spiked his helmet in frustration. “I’m deﬁnitely shouldering a lot for this loss,” he said. “Regardless of what our record is, where we are in the season, it sucks not to win, especially when our coach and the other 10 guys put us in a position to try to get us in the end zone there at the end. I just felt like I didn’t do the right thing in crunch time. I think that’s the moral of the entire story of the game.” See BROWNS | 7 Maryland beats Buckeyes top SC State, 73-57 Marshall, 87-67 COLLEGE PARK, Md. (AP) — Maryland center Diamond Stone is ﬁnding his scoring touch just in time for his Big Ten debut. The freshman continued his recent strong stretch Sunday, ﬁnishing with 16 points as the fourth-ranked Terrapins pulled away for an 87-67 victory over Marshall. “He makes it look so easy,” Maryland coach Mark Turgeon said of Stone, who was 8 of 10 from the ﬁeld. Forward Robert Carter added 19 points as Maryland (11-1) shook off 19 turnovers and countered Marshall’s perimeter-focused offense with a heavy emphasis on inside play. “That was our plan,” Turgeon said. “I thought we shot too many jump shots early. But we settled down. We went inside.” After a sluggish start to the season, Stone has scored in double ﬁgures in his last ﬁve games, including a career-best 16 points three times. And the McDonald’s All-America has done it primarily while coming off the bench, he says, for the ﬁrst time “since fourth grade.” He was Turgeon’s ﬁrst sub against Marshall and played a career-high 25 minutes in his ﬁnal game before Maryland opens the Big Ten season against Penn State on Wednesday. “I kind of accepted it and I realized that we’re a team and it’s not just all about me,” Stone said of his role. “And if we’re winning and I’m coming off the bench, then it’s a good win.” Rasheed Sulaimon added 14 points, while Melo Trimble had 13 and hit three 3-pointers, part of a season-high 13 for the Terrapins.

That’s when the sophomore scored 17 of his career-high 24 points to help Ohio State win its fourth straight with a 73-57 victory against South Carolina State on Sunday night. Bates-Diop was 8 for 14 from the ﬂoor, including 5 of 9 on 3-pointers, and tied a career-high with 10 rebounds. “My teammates found me in the right spots and I was really open most of the time,” he said. With leading scorer Marc Loving shut out in the ﬁrst half and playmaker JaQuan Lyle struggling to score, the Buckeyes turned to Bates-Diop. By the half, he topped his previous OSU best of 16 points set Nov 20. against Texas Arlington. He made 5 of 7 3-pointers while his teammates missed all eight tries from beyond the arc. Despite that, the Buckeyes led 34-21. “Marc and JaQuan can’t have bad ﬁrst halves,” Ohio State coach Thad Matta said. “Marc did a very nice job of coming back into the game. He got Keita a couple of shots and got him going but with this group, we can’t have a couple of guys who are just OK or not into what we’re trying to do. It’s got be a collective group for us to be an effective basketball team.” The Buckeyes completed their nonconference schedule with an 8-5 record.

See BUCKEYES | 10 �SPORTS Daily Sentinel Tuesday, December 29, 2015 7 Ravens, Mallett shock Steelers 20-17 BALTIMORE (AP) — The Baltimore Ravens fully expected to beat the Pittsburgh Steelers — even if few others gave them a chance of pulling off the upset. In a season of defeats and injuries, the Ravens added a memorable chapter to this contentious rivalry with a 20-17 victory Sunday. The Ravens (5-10) had lost three straight, the last two by a combined 69-20 score. In this one, however, they turned back the Steelers (9-6), who were riding a three-game winning streak and striving for a playoff berth. “This might sound brash, but we believed the whole time that we were going to beat Pittsburgh,” Ravens cornerback Jimmy Smith said. “Records, score, how good they’re playing — nothing matters when you’re playing Pittsburgh.” Smith had an interception and limited the dangerous Antonio Brown to 61 yards, part of a strong defensive effort that gave Baltimore with its ﬁrst season sweep of its AFC North rivals since 2011. “It makes this season because obviously we can’t go to the playoffs,” Smith said. Making his seventh career start — the ﬁrst with BaltiPatrick Semansky | AP Pittsburgh Steelers free safety Mike Mitchell (23) sacks Baltimore Ravens more — Ryan Mallett went quarterback Ryan Mallett (7) during the second half of an NFL football game in 28 for 41 for a career-high 274 yards and a touchdown.

Isaiah CrowSTILL STREAKING: The ell added 88 yards rushing and Chiefs joined the 1970 Bengals a touchdown for the Browns. as the only teams to start 1-5 “I talked earlier this week and make the playoffs. This is about planting seeds and their second nine-game winmoving forward,” embattled ning streak in three years under Browns coach Mike Pettine Andy Reid. “Instead of looking said. “I think that second half at the whole wall, we’re just laywas an indication. It’s one of ing one brick at a time the best way possible,” Chiefs safety Eric Berry said. “Hopefully when you look up, that wall is the best you could possibly do.” BOWE’S NO-SHOW: Browns WR Dwayne Bowe was active for only the seventh time this season but did not catch a pass against his former team. He spent his ﬁrst eight seasons in Kansas City, making a Pro Bowl in 2010, before signing a two-year, $13 million contract with Cleveland. PETTINE, PLEASE: Several more players offered their by the Ravens on Dec. 15, he was the fourth quarterback to start for Baltimore in a span of six weeks. “Getting the start was awesome,” he said. “Getting a win was even better.” The stunning, agonizing loss ended Pittsburgh’s 10-game winning streak in December. The Steelers are still in contention for a wild-card berth, but they will need to beat Cleveland next week and get some help. “We didn’t handle the business in the stadium today, so we’re left to look around at other stadiums,” coach Mike Tomlin said. “Such is life this time of year when you don’t do what you’re supposed to do. And we didn’t today. We take ownership over that.” DeAngelo Williams ran for 100 yards and had six catches for 53 yards. Ben Roethlisberger went 23 for 33 for 227 yards with two interceptions. “We controlled our own destiny and we gave the ball away,” Roethlisberger said. Baltimore, which came in with a minus-15 turnover differential, had two takeaways and did not commit a turnover. Up 20-10 with just over seven minutes left, the Ravens appeared to clinch the upset when Smith ran 101 yards with an interception for a touchdown. But Baltimore’s Courtney Upshaw lined up offside on the play, negating the TD, and Williams scored his second touchdown with 6:33 left. The Ravens held on. On fourth-and-15 at the Pittsburgh 37, a pass from Roethlisberger to Markus Wheaton fell incomplete following the two-minute warning. The Steelers didn’t get the ball again until there was 4 seconds left. “We were thinking we were going to beat them, and we knew it,” Ravens defensive back Lardarius Webb said. Down 13-3 at halftime, the Steelers got back into it with the aid of two pass interference calls totaling 53 yards. The penalties, against Smith and Kendrick Lewis, led to a 1-yard run by Williams that cut the deﬁcit to three points. Later in the quarter, the Ravens put together a 13-play drive that concluded with a punt. Though the march did not produce points, Baltimore kept the ball away from the Steelers for nearly seven minutes and pinned Pittsburgh on its own 9. Roethlisberger threw his second interception a few minutes later. Mallett then connected with Chris Givens for 39 yards and Kyle Juszczyk for 34 to set up a 3-yard touchdown run by Javorius Allen, making it 20-10. support of Pettine, who fell to 3-17 in his last 20 games. “The kind of season we’ve had, any other team would have quit — packed their bags and been ready to head home,” Browns wide receiver Travis Benjamin said. “As long as Coach Pettine is our head coach, we will forever ﬁght with him.” HITTING A THOUSAND: Jeremy Maclin eclipsed the 1,000-yard mark on a TD reception in the ﬁrst quarter. He’s just the fourth wide receiver under Reid to reach 1,000 yards, joining Terrell Owens (2004), Kevin Curtis (2007) and DeSean Jackson (2009-10) in Philadelphia. “He’s a heck of a player,” Smith said. “He just consistently wins.” PICK ME: Marcus Peters had his eighth interception, matching Bobby Hunt (1962) for the franchise rookie record. He also has 280 return yards, ninth-most in NFL history. “I just make my plays when they happen, man. That was a huge turnover for us,” Peters said. “We needed it.” Want The Best Deal On TV & Internet? Get DISH! 19.99 $ /mo. for 12 months. Not eligible with Hopper.

Carter added his ﬁnal points of the game on a thunderous transition dunk off a feed from Trimble, and Jake Layman and Jaylen Brantley each hit two 3-pointers. Brantley’s second, off a pass from Trimble, made it 77-51 with 6:32 to play. “It’s a great win for us,” Turgeon said. “If you’d told me we were going to be up 25, 26 against this team, I knew we had to play well to do it.” TIP-INS Marshall: The Thundering Herd fell to 5-18 alltime against current Big Ten schools, including 2-3 against Maryland. … Marshall had not played a team ranked higher than Maryland since facing No. 3 Syracuse in December 2011. Maryland: The Terrapins improved to 7-0 at Xﬁnity Center. … Maryland plays one more nonconference game, at home against Bowie State on Feb. 9. … Senior guard Trevor Anzmann scored his ﬁrst career points with a 3-pointer in the game’s ﬁnal minute. BRANTLEY’S REUNION Brantley ﬁnished with eight points and hit 3 of 4 ﬁeld goals against his former team, one game after scoring a career-high 14 points against Princeton. “I think his conﬁdence has come the furthest, and that’s really what’s important,” Turgeon said of the sophomore transfer. ‘OUT OF GAS’ Marshall hit only 1 of 13 3-point attempts in the second half after missing all 13 of its second-half 3-pointers on Dec. 17 against West Virginia, its other game against a ranked opponent. “We ran out of gas in the second half,” D’Antoni said. Buckeyes From Page 6 “Anytime you can put no one on shorter than 6-foot7 on the ﬂoor, it creates an optical illusion out there. For them to block nine shots, we haven’t had a game this year where anybody blocked that amount. They blocked jump shots. They blocked layups.” TIP-INS South Carolina State: The Bulldogs were picked to ﬁnish eighth in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference preseason poll. They are 1-1 in league play. … South Carolina State doesn’t have any players from Ohio but director of athletics Paul Bryant is from Dayton. Ohio State: Although the Buckeyes played the Bulldogs for the ﬁrst time, they are familiar with the MEAC having compiled a 19-0 record vs. current members. The most recent meeting prior to Sunday was last season, a 97-55 win against North Carolina A &T. QUOTABLE: Garvin was impressed with the speed of Ohio State guard A.J. Harris, who had ﬁve assists in the second half with four of them leading to alleyoops dunks. “He changed the tempo of the game. Also, picking up our point guard full court got us out of rhythm. He’s so quick, he turns off the lights and can be in bed before it gets dark.” Start the New Year Off Right!
