Weekend From page 1A The race will begin at 10 a.m. at the Meigs High School parking lot, registration will take place from 8:30-9:30 a.m. Participants of the race should plan on arriving 30 minutes early. Cost of registration is $20, make checks payable to “Brandi Thomas Memorial Scholarship Fund.” The race gets it’s name from the tale of the woman and the fork. As the story goes, a young woman who was nearing death from a terminal illness had one final request of her rabbi. The woman explained, ‘In all my years of attending church socials and dinners, I always remember that when the dishes of the main courses were being cleared, someone would inevitably lean over and say, “Keep your fork.” It was my favorite part because I knew that something better was coming…like velvety chocolate cake or deepdish apple pie. Something wonderful, and with substance! So, I just want people to see me there in that casket with a fork in my hand and I want them to wonder, “What’s with the fork?” Then I want you to tell them: “Keep your fork… The best is yet to come.” A fork is included in each of the registration packets as a reminder to the runners. The Brandi Thomas Memorial Scholarship fund was established in honor of Thomas, who died in 2002 as a result of injuries sustained in an automobile accident.

This coming Sunday, December 1st, is the start of something special – a special time of the year called Advent. Advent is the four weeks before Christmas when we “get ready” and prepare for Jesus’ God’s birth in that Kids cattle barn in Korner Bethlehem so Ann Moody long ago. The word Advent means getting ready for an event that is about to happen. We use these weeks leading up to Christmas as a chance to think about the arrival of Baby Jesus, who will be our Savior, the Light of the World. At church or even at home, you may light Advent candles, say special prayers, mark off the days on an Advent calendar, and/or sing special songs. This first week of Advent we will be thinking about Jesus’ birth and “Hope.” Have you ever thought about hope? I know, you “hope” you get what you want for Christmas, or you hope you get a good grade on a test, or you hope you win the big game. But I’m talking about Jesus and His hope for the world and for each one of us. Jesus’ birth was a promise God gave to us a long, long time ago – a Messiah- that would come and save us from our sins and make a way for us to go to heaven. Jesus was born to fulfill that promise made by God. Because of Jesus, we can be forgiven our mistakes when we do wrong, we can ask Him to help us when we need help, and we can be kind to others like He was. In Jesus, we really even have more than just hope. We have a guarantee – an assurance that we will always have Him with us, and we will always be with Him. The Old Testament called this a covenant. Psalm 33:20 says, “We wait in hope for the Lord; He is our help and our shield.” Think about that verse for a minute. Isn’t that a really great verse to remember? One of these days, we don’t know when, Jesus is coming back to take us all to be with Him, so we wait hopefully for that day. But as we wait, we know that Jesus never leaves us alone. He is our help when we need Him and our shield when we need protection. That is a wonderful promise to always keep in our hearts and minds every day of the year! I “hope” you get what you want for Christmas, and I hope you get an A on your test, and I hope you win the big game. But you know what else I hope more than anything for you? I hope you know Jesus as your Lord, Savior, and friend. Over the next four weeks, remember to live hopefully for the coming of Christmas and Jesus’ birth. There are a lot of fun things going on between now and Christmas Day, but remember the real reason for the season is Jesus! I “hope’ you have a great week! Let’s say our prayer. Father God, thank You for sending Jesus to us to be our hope for the future. Help us over the next several weeks, to remember to have fun with all the festivities leading up to Christmas, but also remember that Jesus is the reason we even have Christmas. Let us live “hopefully” in His love and forgiveness every day. In His name we pray, Amen. Ann Moody is pastor of Wilkesville First Presbyterian Church and the Middleport First Presbyterian Church. Daily Sentinel Celebrating the day after Thanksgiving Another Thanksgiving has come and gone. By now, dinner is reduced to a plateful of leftovers. Christmas decorations escape the attic. Black Friday deals cause us to lose our minds. (It always amazes me how we’re thankful for what we have and rush down Walmart aisles for what we don’t have on the same day). But for those who follow Christ, Thanksgiving is more than a yearly holiday. It’s a way of life. The apostle Paul writes, “Therefore, as you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in him, rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving” (Col. 2:6-7 ESV). On this day after Thanksgiving, I want to study these two verses. May God open our eyes to His Word and stir ing to Christ” our affections for (ESV). Him. In-between Paul writes the these verses, book of Coloswe find the two sians to the verses on which church in Coloswe focus today. sae.

Pauley Colossians 2:6-7 The dangers of in light of a world Colossae can be deceived by sin. Keep understood by Paul’s that in mind as we warning in verses 4, 5, ponder verses 6 and 7 and 8. Verses 4 and 5 read, “I together. “Therefore, as you say this in order that no one may delude you with received Christ Jesus plausible arguments. For the Lord …” (v. 6 ESV). That looks like a great though I am absent in body, yet I am with you place to start. May we in spirit, rejoicing to see never forget the beauty your good order and the of that statement. After firmness of your faith in all, we have received Christ Jesus the Lord. Christ” (ESV). We didn’t earn Christ. Verse 8 reads, “See We received Him as a to it that no one takes gift. you captive by philosoThe Bible says, “For phy and empty deceit, according to human tra- by grace you have been dition, according to the saved through faith. And this is not your own elemental spirits of the doing; it is the gift of world, and not accord- God” (Eph. 2:8 ESV). On this day after Thanksgiving, may we thank God for giving us the most beautiful of gifts. Paul continues, “… so walk in him, rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, just as you were taught …” (v. 6-7 ESV). But receiving Christ is only the start of a beautiful journey. The apostle Paul instructs the Colossians to walk in their Savior. He instructs them to grow closer to Jesus. He instructs them to become more and more aware of His work in their hearts. Consider what Paul writes to the church in Corinth: “But I, brothers, could not address you as spiritual people, but as people of the flesh, as infants in Christ. I fed you with milk, not solid food, for you were not ready for it. And even now you are not yet ready” (1 Cor. 3:1-2 ESV). As followers of Christ, we’re called to become more and more like Him. Rather than becoming stagnant, we’re called to be “established in the faith.” Upon receiving Christ as Lord, we should seek His face continually. Paul concludes verse 7 by writing, “… abounding in thanksgiving” (ESV). When we consider the gift of Christ, we should abound in thanksgiving. And as we grow closer and closer to Him each day, we should abound in thanksgiving all the more. The beauty of our Savior is worth remembering on the day after Thanksgiving. And every day thereafter. Isaiah Pauley is the Minister of Worship for Faith Baptist Church in Mason, W.Va. Find more at www. isaiahpauley.com The four ‘G’s’ of true gratitude It is an integral part of life that we become people possessing a sense of true gratitude. It is my perspective that the most grateful people are the most blessed people. There are reasons that make that perspective accurate. First, true gratitude is the result of being impressed with a Gift. A gift involves things given with no strings attached. If we are duly sensitive and reasonable, we understand that someone has made an effort to provide the gift, which should make an impression on the emotion. My Dad was an insurance salesman most of his working career. He worked a debit that took him to many back-woods West Virginia residences. The people liked my Dad. They were often very gracious toward him. Many times, they wanted to give him things. Honestly, some of the things he brought home were not very me. So, I rolled good. But, Dad the window back always received up, peeled the what they offered banana, and ate it because he said on my way home. he was impressed With wisdom that they wanted and reasonableto give him a gift. ness (because not Second, true Pastor all things may be gratitude is Ron good for human impressed with Branch the GenerosContributing consumption!), be impressed ity.

I have told heart and a mindset to benefit you in some before the story about way. Their acts of giving the banana. Hamp Carare usually inspired in penter, who once lived near Buckeye, WV, liked themselves by an innate sense of generosity. it when I would stop Being generous means by his little house for a visit.

But, the giving of a gift by before I tossed it, the Lord spoke to my heart someone to you is an emotional extension of that Hamp was trying themselves. They watch to be generous toward for your response. Sometimes it takes courage to give a gift. Sometimes it takes a lot of time to prepare to give a gift. So, be impressed and grateful with the gesture. Fourth, true gratitude is impressed with the Giver. For me, this is where the kids come to mind. Over the years, I have kept every card or tidbit given to me by the kids. The reason for it is because I am impressed with their thoughtfulness. I am impressed with their own sense of thankfulness directed toward me. But, it does not matter whether the givers are kids, teens, adults, or elderly, find reasons to be impressed for what they do. Thus, the four G’s of true gratitude involved generosity, the gift, the gesture, and the giver. However, these aspects of true gratitude bring us to consider being impressed with the gifts of God. The Scripture teaches us that “every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights…” Whenever we consider the salvation God has provided through the death and resurrection of His Son, Jesus Christ, we should have a sense of true gratitude involving the generosity, the gift, the gesture, and the Giver. Whenever, we consider the providence God directs our way, we should have a sense of true gratitude involving the generosity, the gift, the gesture, and the Giver. The Scripture exhorts us, “In every thing give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.” Do not be like the one who told me recently that they have nothing for which to be thankful. God fills our lives with good things for that to be valid for anyone. Pastor Ron Branch lives in Mason County and is pastor of Hope Baptist Church, Middleport, Ohio. Celebrating God’s generosity and love A truth worth remembering: a gift is only a gift if you don’t deserve it. The Bible reminds us of this basic truth, “Now to the one who works, his wages are not counted as a gift but as his due (Romans 4:4; ESV),” and makes application from the general truth to the specifics of salvation: “But if it is by grace, it is no longer on the basis of works; otherwise grace would no longer be grace (Romans 11:6; ESV) When someone pays us what we deserve, it is not a gift, it is a wage. Typically, with wages, there is an agreement of some sort, a service or item given in exchange for compensation. A failure to make payment is theft, a breach of trust, and is inherently dishonest and wrong. Not so with a true gift. In matters of gift-giving, the only obligation laid on the giver is that imparted by their own desire or promises. You can’t compel someone to give you a gift. Compelling people to give you things apart from their desire to do so is generally considered to be some form give gifts. The of theft. A mugBible tells us ger might think that “God loves he deserves your a cheerful giver money, but his (2 Corinthians thinking it to be 9:7).” God wants so does not make us to be a giving it so. There are Search people, generous and cheerful in many occasions the throughout the Scriptures that generosity, giving without year when giftJonathan resentment or giving is the McAnulty worry or other norm, but even negative attitudes on such occasions, the people receiv- such as are sometimes common during occaing gifts haven’t done sions of gift-giving. anything to deserve How many of these them.

When we feel as ger be gifts, they would if others must give us gifts, we are little more be tribute, or wages, or than spoiled, petulant taxes or some such. children lacking in both This does not mean understanding and that people should not thankfulness. Only when we recognize that we don’t deserve the gift, will we respond with the appropriate level of appreciation and thankfulness for the kindness and thoughtfulness shown towards us. Even if it was a gift we did not want, it was, by nature of being a gift, more than we deserved. If this is true of the gifts men give us, it is even more true of what God gives us. God gives quite generously, but we should never feel as if God is giving to us because we deserve His love and affection. Jesus, speaking of the love and generosity of God, reminds us, “He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust (Matthew 5:45b; ESV).” Just because God has blessed us with food, shelter and clothes does not mean that we must inherently be good people. God gives to us, not because we deserve it, but because He is simply that good and kind. Receiving then those physical blessings we do not deserve, we should be thankful. And being thankful, we should express it with thanksgiving. This is one reason Christians, in particular, should be ever thankful. We recognize that we do not deserve God’s salvation, provided through Christ. Men had done nothing worthy of forgiveness when God sent Christ to die for us. We had no inherent value so as to make God obligated to offer us a plan by which we could be joined with Him for eternity in a realm of joy and peace. Yet God, because He loved us, sent His son to die for us. It was the greatest of gifts, because it was the most undeserved of gifts. And for the receiving of it, let us who have been blessed by that gift be ever thankful.

The Herd (7-4, 5-2 CUSA East) enters the regular season finale tied with Western Kentucky for second place in the divisional standings, plus is one game behind Florida Atlantic in the overall picture.

The team brought in Cherington this month after Neal Huntington was let go after 12 years on the job. Shelton filled the eighth and final manager vacancy, joining Joe Maddon (Los Angeles Angels), Joe Girardi (Philadelphia), David Ross (Chicago Cubs), Jayce Tingler (San Diego), Mike Matheny (Kansas City), Carlos Beltrán (New York Mets) and Gabe Kapler (San Francisco). Beltrán was the only minority hired for a manager opening. The 49-year-old Shelton spent the last two seasons as the bench coach for the Minnesota Twins. Shelton’s previous stops include a season as the quality control coach for the Toronto Blue Jays in 2017 — his tenure overlapping Cherington’s stint as Toronto’s vice president of baseball operations — and seven years as a hitting coach with the Tampa Bay Rays. Shelton broke into the majors as hitting coach for the Cleveland Indians from 2005-09. Shelton’s managerial experience is limited to minor league stints in the Yankees’ organization in the early 2000s. “It is going to be an exciting change of culture in our clubhouse,” Shelton said in a statement. “It is going to be a fun environment in which we will all be held accountable to each other. It will be a player-centric culture built on strong communication and relationships with our players, our staff and the entire organization.” Shelton inherits a team that finished below .500 in three of the last four seasons, though the on-field product during a miserable 25-48 second Game of the week No. 13 Wisconsin (9-2, 6-2 Big Ten, CFP No. 12) at No. 9 Minnesota (10-1, 7-1, CFP No. 8) Ohio State-Michigan is big, but this one is bigger. The winner of Paul Bunyan’s Axe will play Ohio State in the Big Ten championship game Dec. 7. Minnesota lost 14 straight to the Badgers before taking back the Axe last year. The Gophers haven’t won consecutive games in the series since 1993-94. Picked near the bottom of the West Division in the preseason, the Gophers are going for their first 11-win season since 1904 and their first Big Ten title game appearance. Wisconsin is trying to get to the conference championship game for the sixth time since 2011. Best matchup Michigan QB Shea Patterson vs. Ohio State defense Patterson is playing some of his best football the last couple weeks for the 10thranked Wolverines (9-2, 6-2, CFP No. 13), completing 68% of his passes (44 of 65) for 750 yards and nine touchdowns, with one interception, against Michigan State and Indiana. He will be facing the nation’s best pass defense. Secondranked Ohio State (11-0, 8-0, CFP No. 1) has picked off 14 passes, allowed six touchdowns through the air and is allowing just 4.9 yards per attempt. half proved to be just part of Pittsburgh’s issues. Relievers Keone Kela and Kyle Crick were suspended for their roles in separate dust-ups with members of the team’s coaching and support staff. All-Star closer Felipe Rivera was arrested in September on felony charges stemming from an alleged illegal sexual relationship with a minor. Cherington said shortly after his hire the Pirates need to do a better job of continuing to develop players once they reach the major leagues. Owner Bob Nutting expressed frustration at seeing prospects the Pirates let go flourish elsewhere, including Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Austin Meadows and pitcher Tyler Glasnow.

Pittsburgh hired longtime major league coach Derek Shelton as manager on Wednesday, the final piece of a new-look leadership following a last-place finish in the NL Central. Shelton replaces Clint Hurdle, who was fired on the final day of the regular season. “We are confident Derek will help lead an elite playing and coaching environment at the major league level and be a true partner to all of baseball operations as we challenge each other to get better every day,” Pittsburgh general manager Ben Cherington said in a statement. Shelton was the third highprofile hire by the Pirates since the end of a 69-93 season marred by issues both on and off the field.

Also on the list, which will be cut to 15 on Jan. 2, are previous finalists John Lynch, Steve Atwater, Tony Boselli, Steve Hutchinson, Isaac Bruce, Edgerrin James and Alan Faneca. Five former players will be elected to the class of 2020 on Feb. 1, the day before the Super Bowl. They will be inducted into the Canton, Ohio, shrine in August. The hall also will induct 10 senior candidates, three contributors and two coaches in a special centennial class in 2020. There are 14 defensive players, 10 on offense, and one special-teamer, Steve Tasker, who also played wide receiver for Buffalo. Four players make the semifinals for the first time: linebacker Carl Banks, running backs Fred Taylor and Ricky Watters, and defensive tackle Bryant Young. Every other semifinalist for 2020 has gotten this far before. There are six defensive backs in the group: Polamalu, Lynch, Atwater, Ronde Barber, LeRoy Butler and Darren Woodson. Five receivers make the list: Wayne, Bruce, Torry Holt, Hines Ward, and Tasker. There also are five linebackers: Willis, Banks, Clay Matthews, Sam Mills and Zach Thomas.

(AP) — Mayor Peter Nystrom says he plans to fight hard to preserve his town’s little piece of Americana. For a quarter century on baseball nights at Dodd Stadium, children have played on the hill next to the right field fence while neighbors chat in the stands and watch future major league stars. But Major League Baseball has proposed a contraction plan that could end those summer nights at Dodd and other parks across the nation by eliminating its affiliation with 42 minor league teams, including the Connecticut Tigers, Norwich’s single-A New York-Penn League team. The contraction plan is being proposed as Major League Baseball and the National Association of Professional Baseball Leagues negotiate a new Professional Baseball Agreement to replace the one that expires after the 2020 season. The 176 minor league teams affiliated with the NAPBL combined to draw 41.5 million fans this year. Nystrom, a Republican, said he learned of the plan about a month after MLB signed off on a new 10-year lease deal between the Tigers and Norwich. The city already has upgraded the 6,000seat stadium’s lights and heating and cooling system and has $100,000 Big Ten From page 1B 4-4) would finish above .500 in Big Ten play for the first time since 2007 if it beats Northwestern (2-9, 0-8) at home. … Maryland (3-8, 1-7), which visits Michigan State, has scored 145 points in its last nine games after scoring 142 in its first two. … Elijah Collins of Michigan State (5-6, 3-5) is the school’s first player to record three 100-yard rushing games since Javon Ringer in 2005. Long shot Michigan, 9 ½-point underdog at home to Ohio State The Wolverines have found their stride the last month and are hungry to flip the series. They’ve in its annual budget for more improvements. He said minor league clubs are a vital part of the fabric of towns and small cities such as Norwich and he doesn’t believe they will let contraction happen. “I’m writing to every municipality affected by this,” he said. “These are community centers. Dodd Stadium is a community center. To me, this is a stab in the back.” Mike Quill, the mayor of Auburn, New York, said his city also was caught by surprise. It owns both the single-A Doubledays, another team on the contraction list, and the park in which they play, which was just upgraded with a new artificial turf field. “I know other clubs are in the midst of multimillion-dollar renovation projects,” he said. “What happens with those now? I’m more than interested in looking at what we can do. I’d be really interested in talking with (Nystrom).” U.S. Rep. Joe Courtney, a Democrat who represents Norwich, said he believes MLB has underestimated the clout these communities have. He co-authored a letter to MLB officials outlining the negative implications of contraction and reminding them Congress has the power to reconsider the league’s antitrust exemption. More than 100 col- lost seven in a row to the Buckeyes and 14 of the last 15. Ohio State, coming off a 28-17 win over Penn State, looked unbeatable until the Nittany Lions rallied in the second half. Michigan can draw confidence from that. Player to watch Nebraska QB Adrian Martinez The Huskers’ game against Iowa could come down to Martinez. He’s had a bumpy sophomore season, and two of his top four receivers could be out. Martinez has become a more confident runner in recent weeks, and that could serve him well. He played one of the best games of his career in last year’s 31-28 loss to the Hawks, accounting for 336 yards and three touchdowns.

Experts from the World Anti-Doping Agency were heading to Moscow to finally receive the trove of data they’d been seeking for two years. Instead of getting ready to hand it over, Russian authorities stayed busy in a round-the-clock endeavor to keep changing, deleting and manipulating the data. Granular details of the plot are sprinkled throughout WADA’s previously confidential 89-page report, obtained by The Associated Press. Among the most brazen projects, the report says, was the rewriting of memos to make it look as though the man who exposed the plot was leveraging the Rus- sian doping scheme to line his own pockets. The rewrites were also designed to eliminate any record that one of Russia’s own key defense witnesses in the case had done anything wrong. “Treat all the files the same, and you can take your Bonus home,” said one of the doctored messages, purported to have been written by whistleblower Grigory Rodchenkov to another worker, Timofey Sobolevsky, at the now-infamous Moscow antidoping lab. In fact, the original messages were to Sobolevsky from a key Russian witness and purveyor of the plot, Evgeny Kudryavtsev. Those simply said “OK,” and “Tim, we will soon be giving it.” Kudryavtsev has called Rodchenkov, who lives in hiding in the United SCOREBOARD NFL National Football League All Times EST AMERICAN CONFERENCE East W L T Pct PF PA New England 10 1 0 .909 300 117 Buffalo 8 3 0 .727 231 173 N.Y.

Rodchenkov was not part of the original exchange. The doctored message was one of thousands of manipulations that were concocted long after Russia had agreed to hand over the data in its original form. In fact, Russia was doctoring files as late as Jan. 16, 2019, while WADA’s team was already in the building, one day away from leaving Moscow with the now-sullied data in tow. The details of the deception, portrayed by WADA investigators as the “smoking gun” in the Russian manipulation case, are included in the report, which spells out the ways Russia reworked data that was supposed to be used to prosecute doping cases stemming from its state-run system to win Olympic medals. Sprinkled throughout the 89 pages are a number of explanations the Russians gave for the discrepancies — among them, system malfunctions and routine spaceclearing operations that occurred at the beginning of every year — each of which is incisively batted down by the WADA team of investigators, who went to painstaking lengths to conduct forensic research on 23 million megabytes of data. Regarding the forged messages, the investigators drew a forceful conclusion: The Russians were so focused on altering the messages that made them look the worst that they scoured through 11,227 of the exchanges to “identify and delete 25 highly inculpatory messages.” “They therefore planted fabricated evidence into the 2019 … database that would allow them to blame those discrepancies on Dr Rodchenkov, Dr Sobolevsky” and another worker, the report said. “Such bad faith is indeed stunning, and … it provides a lens through which the explanations offered by the Russian authorities for the following subsequent events should be observed.” On Tuesday, the day after the release of WADA’s conclusions — along with the recommendation to ban the Russian flag and its dignitaries, but not all of its athletes, from the next two Olympics — the reactions out of Russia were varied. Foreign minister Sergei Lavrov called it the latest attempt among Western efforts “to put Russia in a defensive position accused of pretty much everything in every sphere of international life.” But Yuri Ganus, the head of the Russian AntiDoping Agency, said the sanctions “were to be expected, and they’re justified.” RUSADA was basically the only Russian actor that came off relatively unscathed in the WADA report, in large part because it has been totally revamped in the wake of the scandal. But as the report spells out in alarming detail, the government was busy trying to cover its tracks and tell new stories right up until WADA packed up the data and took it away. WADA’s executive committee is scheduled to review the report on Dec. 9 and decide whether to accept the sanctions recommended by the compliance review committee. OSU’s talent rises to topple Michigan By Larry Lage AP Sports Writer ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Ohio State has turned one of the greatest rivalries in sports into a one-sided series against Michigan by simply having more talent on the field. That seems to be true throughout the rosters and it makes the largest difference on the offensive and defensive lines, where the biggest players on the field can control The Game. The Buckeyes (11-0, 8-0 Big Ten) are the top team in the College Football Playoff rankings and are No. 2 in The Associated Press poll at least in part because Urban Meyer left first-year coach Ryan Day with a roster full of highly touted recruits. Jim Harbaugh, meanwhile, has been unable to match his style points on the recruiting trail with enough significant signings to beat Ohio State on the field. Michigan’s coach was hailed as the man who could make college football’s winningest program respectable in The Game again, but he has fallen short four times. The 10th-ranked Wolverines (9-2, 6-2, No. 13 CFP) are certainly not devoid of gamechanging players, but they have not matched up well with their rivals in the past and that’s not expected to change Saturday at home. Recruiting rankings help to explain why Ohio State has won seven consecutive games for the second time in 15 years and is a victory away from a school-record winning streak in the series. Michigan had the better recruiting class earlier this year for the first time since 2010, according to 247 Sports composite rankings, and those talented freshmen aren’t enough to overcome the sea of five-star players with superior size and skill in scarlet and gray. The Buckeyes, how- Jay LaPrete | AP file Head coach Jim Harbaugh and his Michigan Wolverines face the Ohio State Buckeyes, who have locked up the East Division, so they likely would survive a loss to Michigan on Saturday if they win the conference championship game. But the Wolverines, 0-4 against Ohio State under Harbaugh and losers in 14 of the last 15 in The Game, would love to cause their rival even just a little anxiety. ever, are on pace to have a recruiting class rated higher than Michigan’s in 2020. Day said he keeps close tabs on the Wolverines’ recruiting efforts, posting a list of their prospects for his staff to see. “Compare our guys to theirs just about every day, every week,” he said. Day said Michigan’s recruiting outlook have been posted in Ohio State’s facility since he was an assistant for Meyer. “It just gives you some awareness of where we’re at, the battles that we’re in against certain guys,” he said. “We rank our people. We just want to always know exactly who those guys are because we know we’re going to be playing them. That’s what’s important.” Ohio State lost a star on the defensive line when Nick Bosa chose to enter the NFL draft last year before his senior season, but the program had plenty of players to fill in. Chase Young was ranked No. 7 overall coming out of high school and has developed into a Heisman Trophy candidate. Fellow defensive end Zach Harrison was rated as the top recruit at his position last year, No. 12 overall, and he hasn’t even cracked the starting lineup. On offense, sophomore guard Wyatt Davis was a five-star recruit ranked as the top player at his position and has lived up to the billing. Michigan has a quartet of four-star recruits and a three-star prospect among its starting offensive linemen. Senior guard Ben Bredeson, a second-team All-America player last year, is the best of the bunch and was rated No. 39 overall coming out of high school in Wisconsin. Michigan’s big guys up front gave quarterback Shea Patterson enough time to throw the last two weeks that he became the first player in school history to throw four-plus touchdown passes in two straight games. “At times, throughout the season, it has felt like 7-on-7,” Patterson said. “A lot of credit goes to those guys.” The Wolverines signed some of the top recruits in the country to play on the defensive line when they landed Rashan Gary and Aubrey Solomon, but Gary skipped his senior year to enter the draft and Solomon transferred to Tennessee. That left four- and three-star recruits — Kwity Paye, Carlo Kemp and Aidan Hutchinson — none of whom was ranked among the top 100 overall to match up with elite talent on the other side of the line. “Last year, they had a really good front last year, so they were able to run a lot of different stuff,” Davis said. “Not saying that they don’t have a great front this year, they do.” Buckeyes’ home airport X’s some M’s ahead of game COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The hometown airport of the Ohio State University Buckeyes is marking the days leading up to the team’s most anticipated game of the season with some visual antics. John Glenn International Airport has placed X’s over some highly visible M’s around the terminal ahead of Saturday’s rivalry game in Ann Arbor between No. 2 Ohio State and the 10th-ranked Michigan Wolverines. The X’s obscure M’s in the word “Columbus” on a mosaic and an exit sign, as well as in the airport’s CMH call letters at the International Gateway entrance. The airport says letters integral to safety or direc- tional information were excluded from the prank. Rivalry week also is highlighted on the giant video monitor in the ticket lobby, where opportunities are offered to take a photo with Brutus Buckeye. �COMICS 4B Friday, November 29, 2019 BLONDIE Daily Sentinel By Dean Young and John Marshall BEETLE BAILEY By Mort, Greg and Brian Walker Today’s answer RETAIL By Norm Feuti HAGAR THE HORRIBLE HI AND LOIS By Chris Browne Written By Brian & Greg Walker; Drawn By Chance Browne THE BRILLIANT MIND OF EDISON LEE By John Hambrock BABY BLUES ZITS By Jerry Scott & Rick Kirkman By Jerry Scott and Jim Borgman PARDON MY PLANET By Vic Lee CONCEPTIS SUDOKU by Dave Green 5 9 1 2 By Hilary Price 6 8 7 7 8 4 3 7 1 3 6 9 Difficulty Level By Bil and Jeff Keane 11/29 2 9 6 4 7 1 8 5 3 1 4 3 8 9 5 7 2 6 7 5 8 6 2 3 4 1 9 6 2 4 1 3 7 9 8 5 5 3 9 2 8 6 1 7 4 8 1 7 5 4 9 3 6 2 2019 Conceptis Puzzles, Dist. by King Features Syndicate, Inc. 3 8 2 7 6 4 5 9 1 By Bunny Hoest & John Reiner Today’s Solution THE FAMILY CIRCUS 9 6 1 3 5 8 2 4 7 DENNIS THE MENACE THE LOCKHORNS 11/29 Difficulty Level Hank Ketcham’s 5 4 9 3 4 7 5 9 1 2 6 3 8 RHYMES WITH ORANGE 2 1 7 6 2019 Conceptis Puzzles, Dist. by King Features Syndicate, Inc.

It’s a massive spike from the roughly $2,000 it had raised before Tuesday night’s stunning result became the talk of college basketball. Bain said Wednesday that the donation totals had “skyrocketed” when he checked the website several times after the game. “I was just in disbelief at what basketball had done for my family,” the 6-foot-6, fifth-year senior guard told the Associated Press by phone. “It was truly a blessing.” The initial fundraising goal of $25,000 was increased to $50,000 — only to have it, too, (740) 446-2342 or fax to (740) 446-3008 XXX�NZEBJMZTFOUJOFM�DPN�t�HEUDMBTTJöFET!BJNNFEJBNJEXFTU�DPN HEUMFHBMT!BJNNFEJBNJEXFTU�DPN surpassed by early in the afternoon. GoFundMe spokeswoman Aja Shepherd said the Bain family site was the second-most popular campaign Wednesday — surpassed only by one for victims of an earthquake in Albania that had killed at least 30 and injured more than 650 — with more than 1,500 donors from all 50 states giving an average of $36. Bain said his family “lost everything inside” its single-story home in Freeport, Grand Bahama. His father Norris, a minister, runs the Tabernacle Baptist Church, which Nathan said has “a couple hundred” congregants and an affiliated K-12 school with an enrollment of about 800. Both suffered severe damage from the Category 5 storm that hammered the islands, with their home and the church “gutted.” Dorian hammered the northern Abaco and Grand Bahama islands before giving a glancing blow to the southeastern United States. There were 67 confirmed deaths and 282 people were still missing as of late October along with $3.4 billion in losses for the Bahamas, according to a recent report.
