The first Pomeroy Council meeting of 2017 picked up right where the final meeting of 2016 left off — debating a water rate increase. Tuesday’s meeting (moved from Monday due to the holiday) covered new year’s organization, extensive discussions of water and sewer services, and a preliminary discussion of downtown parking meters. Language for the amendment to ordinance 780.16 was given a first reading on Tuesday, with subsequent readings to take place at upcoming meetings. A planned January increase of 4.75 percent in water and sewer service for village customers dominated the final meeting of 2016, and council decided at that time to amend ordinance 780.16 and push the increase to June. Prior to changing an ordinance, three such readings are required by law. A report from a water system consultant hired by the village mid-2016 was discussed at the Dec. 19 meeting, and brought up again by members of the public in attendance during the Jan. 3 meeting. Some of the report’s recommendations, which included large increases in customer billing to stabilize the water system finances, were based on an estimate the village has a water loss rate of 68 percent. Pomeroy resident Randy Smith asked a series of questions to determine whether the council planned to address that number, how the rate became so large, and if contact with the study’s authors had continued following their recommendations. He expressed sympathy that water systems can be extraordinarily problematic to manage, but “something caused this, someone dropped the ball,” he said, later adding that if the recent rate hikes are related to loss of customers, “68 percent of customers aren’t getting a bill.” Clerk Sue Baker posited many village problems stem from the lack of a village administrator. The administrator directly oversees public works, which manages the village’s water and sewer systems. During the Dec. 19 meeting, Councilperson Phil Ohlinger said locating where over two thirds of village water goes is a top priority. “We are not sure that number is accurate,” Ohlinger added, but tackling that issue would be “the first order of business for the village administrator.” Related information offered by the council to residents on Jan. 3 included: the study did not take measurements but was supplied data by the village, some agencies like the fire department do not pay for water use, and according to Councilperson Don Anderson, between 5-20 percent constitutes a normal loss rate. Smith said “It hurts to See HIKE | 5 Middleport man sentenced for Rite Aid break-in Staff Report TDSnews@civitasmedia.com POMEROY — A Middleport man was sentenced to 18 months in prison on Wednesday after previously pleading guilty to a 2015 breaking and entering at Rite Aid in Pomeroy.

Stanley took the helm at the Meigs County Prosecutor’s Office earlier this week. Stanley spent his first two days in office (although the office was technically closed Monday, he was still there) getting things in order before appearing in court for the first time as Prosecutor on Wednesday for a slate of hearings. Stanley told the Sentinel that running the office will be the newest part of his role, as he is comfortable in the courtroom. He prosecuted more than 8,000 Stanley cases while with the Athens City Prosecutor’s Office. One of his main focuses as prosecutor will be the drug epidemic in the area. Stanley said he will be meeting with mem- bers of the Gallia-Meigs Task Force, working to get a handle on the epidemic. One key area where Stanley plans to focus in the effort to help the drug epidemic is educational programs in the schools, including those on drug and alcohol use, sexual assault prevention and dating violence. Stanley also spoke about his desire to work with a mock trial program in the schools. Additionally, a focus will be given to increasing tax foreclosures, something he has been discussing with Treasurer Peggy Yost. Stanley said he plans to be out in the public, hoping to hold town hall meetings to educate the public on what is going on and the resources that are available, as well as listening to ideas and concerns of the community. Stanley said he plans to maintain an open See STANLEY | 5 See KMART | 5 Wood joins Ohio Valley Publishing news team INDEX Obituaries: 2 News: 3 Editorial: 4 Weather: 5 Sports: 6 Classifieds:8 Comics: 9 By Beth Sergent bsergent@civitasmedia.com JOIN THE CONVERSATION What’s your take on today’s news?

My insurance doesn’t cover what? Staff Report COLUMBUS — Owning an insurance policy for your home or apartment should provide a sense of security, but Ohio Lieutenant Governor Mary Taylor said residents may need to Think Again about the details of their coverage before an incident brings Taylor them unexpected repair delays or costs. “Make it a goal to review your insurance, to understand your coverage better and talk with your agent to ensure you insurance needs are met,” said Taylor, also director of the Ohio Department of Insurance. Taylor provided tips on common insurance coverage questions for standard policies: Am I protected from flood damage? Standard insurance generally does not offer protection against flood losses. Flood insurance needs purchased through the National Flood Insurance Program. Your agent can assist you. Also, coverage for sewer drain back up is not included – or is limited in scope – and must be added. What about natural disasters like earthquakes and tornadoes? Damage from an earthquake is not usually covered in a standard policy. You need to purchase separate coverage. Tornado, wind and hail damage are typically covered. What fire coverage is provided? A typical policy will issue payment to replace or repair anything inside the home damaged by flames, smoke, soot and ash. While fire and lightning are usually covered, don’t be surprised if your Staff Report GALLIPOLIS — Local personal trainers are now offering personal training and wellness classes to individuals of all ages and needs.

The company is only required to pay for personal property you can prove you owned at the time of loss. How does insurance apply to explosions? Standard insurance will typically cover damage caused by explosions due to certain causes such as a gas leak. What if someone breaks in and steals my belongings? Most standard policies cover items that have been stolen. Certain categories like jewelry, antiques and art often have payout limits unless you purchase additional coverage. If valuable items exceeding those limits are stolen and you don’t have the extra coverage you may receive payment far less than the value. What else isn’t typically covered? Other risks not usually covered in a standard policy includes: terrorism, war, nuclear accident, landslide, mudslide, sinkhole and any others listed in your policy.

(AP) — The auto industry’s relationship with President-elect Donald Trump took a dramatic turn Tuesday as Ford Motor Co. decided to shift investment dollars targeted for Mexico to the U.S., while Trump threatened General Motors with a tax on some imported small cars. Ford is canceling plans to build a new $1.6 billion factory in San Luis Potosi, Mexico, and will instead invest some of that money in a U.S. factory that will build new electric and autonomous vehicles. Ford said last spring it would move production of the Ford Focus small car to the new plant from Michigan. Trump repeatedly criticized the plan, and Ford was among the companies he threatened to hit with a 35 percent tariff on products made in Mexico and exported to the U.S. Trump added General Motors to that group Tuesday, saying in a tweet that the Cruze small cars GM makes in Mexico and sends to U.S. dealers could face “a big border tax!” Ford CEO Mark Fields said Tuesday that market forces dictated Ford’s decision not to build the San Luis Potosi plant. Low gas prices and low interest rates have been hammering small-car sales. U.S. sales of the Focus were down 17 percent through November; by contrast, sales of Ford’s biggest SUV, the Expedition, were up 46 percent. Ford will still move production of the Focus to Mexico, but it will go to an existing plant in Hermosillo that makes midsize cars. Ford will hire around 200 workers in Hermosillo to expand production there. The Wayne, Michigan, plant that currently makes the Focus will get two new products next year, preserving jobs at the facility. Fields said Ford will invest $700 million in the Flat Rock plant to make hybrid, electric and autonomous vehicles. It will also hire around 700 workers starting in 2018. In announcing the Michigan expansion, Fields noted Trump’s promise to make the U.S. more competitive by lowering taxes and easing regulations. “This is a vote of confidence for President-elect Trump and some of the policies he may be pursuing,” Fields said at the company’s plant in Flat Rock. Workers lined up on the factory floor cheered the news. United Auto Workers Vice President Jimmy Settles, the union’s chief negotiator for Ford, told workers he cried when he heard about the investment. Flat Rock, which employs around 3,200 people, was threatened with closure during the recession. More recently, it has seen temporary layoffs because of slowing sales of one of its products, the Ford Mustang. The plant also makes the Lincoln “All these worlds are colliding to make an announcement like we saw today from Ford possible.” — Rebecca Lindland, senior analyst for Kelley Blue Book Continental. Fields said Ford Executive Chairman Bill Ford called Trump Tuesday morning to tell him the news. Fields called Vice President-elect Mike Pence. The company also contacted the Mexican government, which issued a statement regretting Ford’s decision. “The jobs created in Mexico have contributed to maintaining manufacturing jobs in the United States which otherwise would have disappeared in the face of Asian competition,” the Mexico Economy Department said. Fields said Ford will save around $500 million overall by canceling the San Luis Potosi plant. It expects to get some tax incentives from the state of Michigan. Rebecca Lindland, a senior analyst for Kelley Blue Book, said Ford’s decision stemmed from the convergence of politics and market realities. At the same time Trump was attacking Ford for shifting small-car production south of the border, U.S. demand for small cars plunged dramatically. “If the business case is there to make this decision, and then it can make somebody like Donald Trump look better, OK, go with it,” she said. Ford might not have changed its plans if Hillary Clinton had been elected, Lindland said. Unlike Trump, Clinton never threatened to tax imports from Mexico. Trump issued his threat to GM just hours before Ford’s announcement. GM countered that Cruze sedans sold in the U.S. are built in Ohio. Only a small number of Cruze hatchbacks are imported to the U.S. from Mexico. Fields said he’s not worried about the possibility of tariffs. “I’m a strong believer that the right policies are going to prevail because we share the same aspirations that I think President-elect Trump does. We want a very strong U.S. economy,” he said. Among the new vehicles the Flat Rock plant will make is a fully electric SUV that will go 300 miles on a charge. That is due to go on sale in 2020. The plant also will make a hybrid autonomous vehicle that is scheduled to be released in 2021. Ford also said Tuesday it will release a hybrid version of its best-seller, the F-150 pickup, and a hybrid version of the Mustang in 2020. Two new hybrid police vehicles also are coming over the next five years. �E ditorial 4 Thursday, January 5, 2017 Daily Sentinel THEIR VIEW Voters ready for Trump to make good on promises By Doyle McManus “People are looking for results. Voters What do the voters showed that they who elected Donald were willing to rock Trump want him to the boat in order to deliver? “Jobs,” said Marianne get change. If they Zarlinga, an electrolodon’t get change, gist from North Royalthey’ll be willing to ton, Ohio, who voted rock the boat again.” Contributing Columnist for Trump in November. “Bringing jobs back for America.” “He’s going to be just awesome for that,” chimed in Melinda Berger, a homemaker from nearby North Ridgeville. “I can’t wait!” “He has to improve the health care,” she added. “Thousands of dollars out of pocket before you get any benefits — who can afford that?” “Economy and health care,” Zarlinga agreed. Berger and Zarlinga, two 50-something white women from the Cleveland suburbs, were among the voters who helped Trump win the swing state of Ohio by 8 points. They were among a dozen Trump voters convened last month for a discussion conducted by pollster Peter Hart for the University of Pennsylvania’s Annenberg Public Policy Center. Their priorities for the new administration quickly winnowed down to three: jobs, health care and “drain the swamp,” Trump’s promise that he will change the way Washington works. That’s what his voters heard Trump promise; now, they said, they intend to hold him to it. “Deliver,” Zarlinga said crisply when asked for her message to the president-elect. That adds up to a tall order for Trump, but it’s only fair. During the campaign, he promised that he would “bring back” millions of jobs, enact a “beautiful” health-care plan, and end gridlock in Washington. “People are looking for results,” Republican pollster David Winston told me. “Voters showed that they were willing to rock the boat in order to get change. If they don’t get change, they’ll be willing to rock the boat again.” Job growth may be the easiest part. In a slowly recovering economy, that’s happening already; more than two million jobs have been created this year. And Trump will surely take credit; in fact he already has. When Carrier said it would keep some 800 jobs in Indiana, Trump claimed it was all thanks to him. (He neglected to mention that the company is still sending about 1,300 jobs to Mexico). Last week, he announced that Sprint plans to create 5,000 jobs in the United States this year, including some call center jobs relocated from overseas. (That’s the —Republican pollster David Winston result of a pre-existing investment deal, not the president-elect.) Despite the sketchy details, these developments have already given Trump a modest bounce in several polls. “He showed that he has his eye on the ball,” Winston said. Health care will be harder. “It affects every person in the U.S.,” said Eric Viersulz, a maintenance worker from Lorain County. “If he doesn’t do anything about the system, if it isn’t more affordable,” that will make people “angry,” he said. Polls show that most Trump voters don’t want Obamacare repealed without a workable replacement. (It wasn’t clear whether any of the voters in the group obtained health insurance through Obamacare. Most adults under 65 get health insurance through their jobs.) In a Kaiser Family Foundation Poll after the election, only 15 percent of Trump voters said they wanted the law repealed without anything in its place. Most said they either wanted the law to be “replaced with a Republican alternative” or merely “scaled back.” But Republicans in Congress don’t have an Obamacare replacement ready. And if Trump can’t find a way to bring everyone’s health costs down — a goal for which he has offered no clear strategy — many will be disappointed and angry. As for draining the swamp, Trump has left that ambition mostly undefined. He’s promised not to employ lobbyists in his administration, but lobbyists have been able to join his transition merely by cancelling their registrations. Asked what “drain the swamp” meant to them, the Ohio voters talked about corruption. “Eliminate corrupt politicians and wasteful programs,” offered Kevin Koehler, a deputy sheriff from Lorain County. Asked if they were worried about billionaires in the Cabinet or business conflicts of interest on Trump’s part, they shrugged. “He already has his wealth,” Berger said. “He doesn’t need to profit off anybody or anything.” Others nodded. More important, they See VOTERS | 5 THEIR VIEW House GOP makes bad PR move on opening day By Jonathan Bernstein Contributing Columnist Did the House Republicans already suffer their first defeat of 2017? Or is their retreat only tactical and temporary? After voting on Monday night to gut the Office of Congressional Ethics — with no advance warning — they backed off the decision Tuesday. The office is the independent body established by a new Democratic majority in 2008 in response to multiple scandals in the Republican-majority House. From Monday night to Tuesday at noon, there was a media and Twitter firestorm, including tweets from Presidentelect Donald Trump, who opposed the timing of the scuttling of the ethics office, but not the substance of it. To me, the House’s action raised fewer questions about ethical red flags than it did about the political strategy of the House GOP. For some perspective, let’s step back and ask: Why should the House have any ethics oversight at all, let alone an independent role? After all, the voters can punish members who disgrace themselves. House members have to run every two years (compared with six years for the Senate). Plenty of politicians who get into trouble have chosen to resign rather than wait for the voters’ verdict, while many others have simply chosen not to run for re-election. And for those whose scandals include breaking the law, separationof-powers concerns haven’t prevented prosecutions. Given all of those options, a separate internal ethics process isn’t really essential for protecting the nation from miscreants. Instead, it’s about protecting the reputation of the House — in particular, members of the majority party — from being tarred by the scandals tainting some of their colleagues. It’s inevitable that at least a few of the 435 members of the House will get in trouble. After all, there is little serious vetting in most House “To me, the House’s action raised fewer questions about ethical red flags than it did about the political strategy of the House GOP.” — Jonathan Bernstein elections. At best, local parties and the national party legislative committees can try to sink the campaign of a known ne’er-do-well. But press coverage and even opposition research (and the spending to back it up) are minimal in many House elections, and a party’s ability to gather information is limited. Given this, it makes sense for the House to institute an ethics process serious enough so that when something goes wrong, the leadership — that is, the majority party — can claim to have dealt with it openly and forthrightly. House Republicans learned this lesson the hard way in 2006, when a series of stories about mismanagement and corruption extended to Republicans as a whole. By moving to weaken ethics procedures, Republicans produced a short-term public- relations mess on the opening day of the new Congress. Even worse, had they gone through with their plan (and they still might), they would have guaranteed that any misbehavior uncovered on any of their members would have been seen as the fault of the entire party, rather as an aberration. The party seems incapable of heeding clear incentives and warning signs. Either the members believe themselves to be invulnerable to punishment by the electorate, or they are too incompetent to see the predictable results of their actions. If House Republicans are that far removed from understanding the consequences of what they do, they’re going to botch a lot more than just ethics. Jonathan Bernstein is a Bloomberg View columnist.

In 1925, Democrat Nellie Tayloe Ross of Wyoming took office as America’s first female governor, succeeding her late husband, William, following a special election. In 1933, the 30th president of the United States, Calvin Coolidge, died in Northampton, Massachusetts, at age 60. Construction began on the Golden Gate Bridge. (Work was completed four years later.) In 1949, in his State of the Union address, President Harry S. Truman labeled his administration the Fair Deal. In 1953, the Samuel Beckett play “Waiting for Godot” premiered in Paris. In 1964, during a visit to the Holy Land, Pope Paul VI met with Patriarch Athenagoras I of Constantinople in Jerusalem. In 1970, Joseph A.

Polls of all voters — including the majority that didn’t choose Trump — have found that his approval ratings are lower than any other presidentelect in modern times. A Pew Research Center poll last month found that only 41 percent of voters approve of the job Trump has been doing. Eight years ago, at the same point in Obama’s transition, 72 percent of voters approved. It’s true that Trump’s standing in the polls has slowly risen since the election, but that’s mostly because skeptical Republicans have turned more positive. Democrats haven’t warmed to him yet, although Pew found that some had revised their forecasts of his presidency from “terrible” to merely “poor.” “He’s still in a challenging position,” Winston said. “But he still has the same advantage every president elect has: People want him to succeed.” Indeed, in the Pew poll, most voters who supported Hillary Clinton said they were willing to give Trump a chance. But he’s on thin ice. Even among his voters, Trump’s honeymoon could turn out to be short.

Spearheaded by Jacob Dovenbarger’s game-high 21 points, the visiting River Valley Raiders slipped past the host South Gallia Rebels 48-41 in a non-league boys basketball bout. Dovenbarger — the Raiders’ standout six-foot six-inch senior center — scored in quarters of four, five and six points twice, netting nine total field goals and making the club’s only free throw.

Marauders hold off Eastern, 59-53 By Alex Hawley ahawley@civitasmedia.com TUPPERS PLAINS, Ohio — Picking up right where they left off in 2016. On Tuesday night in Meigs County, in its first game of the new year, the Meigs boys basketball team improved its winning streak to seven games, as the Marauders claimed a 59-53 victory over non-conference host Eastern, which has now lost three straight decisions. The first quarter featured a trio of lead changes and finished with the teams tied at 11. Meigs (7-4) built a 21-15 lead, four minutes into the second quar- ter, but Eastern (3-5) fought back with an 8-1 run and led 23-22 with 50 seconds left in the first half. However, the Marauders scored the final four points of the half and took a 26-23 lead into the break. MHS led for the entire second half, beginning the third period with a 5:00, 18-to-8 run. EHS outscored its guest 9-to-2 over the remainder of the third, cutting the Marauder lead to 46-40. MHS led by as much as 10, 52-42, in the fourth quarter, but with 40 seconds left, Eastern cut the margin to one possession at 56-53. However, the Marauders sank 3-of-4 free throws in the 30 seconds, sealing the 59-53 victory. “I’m glad this one is over with,” Meigs head coach Ed Fry said. “Eastern is always prepared and always plays well, like when they beat us here two years ago. They were prepared tonight and I think they were more ready to than we were.” For the game, the See MARAUDERS | 7 Red Dragons beat Point in OT, 43-41 By Bryan Walters bwalters@civitasmedia.com Bryan Walters/OVP Sports Point Pleasant sophomore Cason Payne, right, rubs a Wahama defender off of a screen by teammate Doug Workman (22) during the first half of a nonconference boys basketball contest on December 27 in Mason, W.Va. SAINT ALBANS, W.Va. — You can’t win them all, no matter how hard you try. Jake Carr hit a go-ahead trifecta with seven seconds left in overtime, allowing host St. Albans to pick up its first win of the season Tuesday night during a dramatic 43-41 decision over the Point Pleasant boys basketball team in a nonconference matchup in Kanawha County. The visiting Big Blacks (7-2) had their seven-game win streak come to a bitter end, but it took the Red Dragons (1-6) more than regulation to accomplish such a feat. Tied at 39 headed into the extra session, Will Harbour came up with Point’s only score in the overtime session — which gave the guests a 41-40 edge late in the contest. Carr’s game-winning three-pointer — his only points of the night — gave SAHS a slim two-point edge as the the Big Blacks raced down the floor for a chance to tie the contest, but the Red and Black ultimately came up empty as time expired. PPHS led 11-9 after eight minutes of play, but St. Albans countered with an 11-9 run of its own in the second period — tying the game at 20-all headed into the intermission. The hosts made a small 10-8 run in the third stanza for a 30-28 edge headed into the finale, but the Big Blacks answered with an 11-9 run down the stretch to knot things up at 39 at the end of regulation. Point Pleasant made five of its 16 total field goals from behind the arc and also went 4-of-12 at the free throw line for 33 percent. Doug Workman paced Point with 19 points, 11 of which came in the first half. Harbour was next with a dozen points, with 10 of those coming after halftime.

The Waterford boys basketball team led wire-to-wire and remained unbeaten in league play Tuesday night following an 82-40 victory over visiting Wahama in a Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division matchup in Washington County. The Wildcats (4-1, 4-0 TVC Hocking) had 10 different players reach the scoring column as the hosts picked up their third consecutive win. Four of those 10 scorers also reached double digits. The White Falcons (3-4, 2-3), conversely, had eight players score in the setback, but none of them cracked double figures. The Green and White stormed out to an early 19-12 advantage after eight minutes of play, then used a small 13-8 second quarter run to secure a 32-20 lead at the intermission. The hosts kept that momentum going in the second half as Waterford made an 18-11 run in the third canto, which made it a 50-31 contest headed into the finale. The Wildcats, however, caught fire down the stretch after closing regulation with a 32-9 surge — wrapping up the 42-point outcome. The Red and White made three of their 15 total field goals from behind the arc and also went 7-of-12 at the free throw line for 58 percent. Noah Litchfield led the White Falcons with nine points, followed by Philip Hoffman with eight markers. Mason Hildreth and Travis Kearns were next with six points apiece, while Jacob Lloyd chipped in four markers. Randy Lantz contributed three points in the setback, while Isaiah Pauley and Tyler Bumgarner rounded out the scoring with two points apiece. Waterford netted 31 total field goal in the triumph, with 10 of those coming from behind the arc. The hosts were also 10-of-13 at the charity stripe for 77 percent. Bryce Hilverding paced the Green and White with a game-high 16 points, followed by Cody Harris with 14 points and Jordan Welch with 13 markers. Tyler McCutcheon also had 10 points for the victors. Issac Huffman was next with nine points, while Andrew Thurman and Riley Burns respectively added seven and four markers. Noah Huffman, Austin Pratt and Travis Pottmeyer also had three points each in the triumph. Bryan Walters can be reached at 740-446-2342, ext. 2101. Raiders From page 6 — in his season debut — added the other in the second stanza. In a close contest throughout, River Valley led 12-8 following the opening quarter, followed by a 26-20 advantage at halftime — and a 36-28 lead after three periods. The only frame the Rebels won was the last at 13-12. The win gave the Raiders (3-8) a twogame winning streak — after eight consecutive losses following their season-opening win at Eastern. South Gallia (1-8) got its first victory of the season nine days ago against Green — after opening the season at 0-7. “It was a dogfight. It’s tough to play that game in that environment. But it was a good win for us and we are hoping to get going. We are getting better and more confident,” said River Valley coach Bryan Drummond. “Jacob Dovenbarger was huge for us and Layne Fitch was an energizer in his return tonight.” River Valley overcame only making one of eight free throws — by holding a 22-14 advantage in total field goals. Besides Dovenbarg- Point From page 6 respectively rounding things out with three points and two points. The Red Dragons netted 17 total field goals — including four trifectas — and also went 5-of-6 at the charity stripe for 83 percent.

Patrick Brown finished with three buckets (six points), along with two from Tre Craycraft (four points) and one apiece by Jacob Campbell (two points) and Ian Polcyn (two points). The Raiders also won without sharpshooting guard Jarret McCarley, who did not play. Caleb Henry, on seven field goals and a foul shot, paced the Rebels with 15 points — as Curtis Haner had two twos and two threes towards 10. All 10 of Haner’s points came in the first half, as Austin Stapleton —on three field goals including the team’s other two triples —netted nine fourthquarter points. Austin Day dropped in two buckets for four points, while Colton Bowers bagged three freebies. However, the Rebels hurt themselves from the foul line — converting only 5-of-14. Both teams return to the road, and return to Tri-Valley Conference action, on Friday night. South Gallia goes to Federal Hocking in the TVC-Hocking, while River Valley visits Alexander in the TVC-Ohio.

The Hannan boys basketball team suffered its fourth straight setback, as the Wildcats dropped a 68-54 decision to non-conference host Sherman, on Tuesday night in Boone County. The Tide (3-3) led by a narrow 17-15 margin, eight minutes into play. The hosts outscored Hannan (2-5) by a 21-to-13 edge in the second quarter, and Sherman led by 10, 38-28, at halftime. SHS extended the advantage to 54-41 by the end of the third quarter and the Tide finished off the 68-54 win by outscoring Hannan 14-to-13 in the finale. Hannan was led by junior Malachi Cade, who posted a game-best 27 points. Chase Nelson scored nine for the Wildcats, Corey Hudnall added eight points, while Dalton Coleman chipped in with six and Chandler Starkey contributed four points. SHS junior John Craig led the victors with 22 points, followed by Caleb Duncan with 16 and Bailey Kirk with 13.

Red Raiders upset WVU in OT, 77-76 LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) — Anthony Livingston had been practicing taking 3-pointers from the corner before the game. That’s what gave him the confidence to take the gamewinner for Texas Tech. “It was definitely a tough challenge for us,” Livingston said of Tuesday night’s 77-76 overtime upset of No. 7 West Virginia. “I shot that shot I think over a hundred times before the game, the same exact corner shot. So, I shot that shot with a lot of confidence.” His shot went through with 4.6 seconds left in overtime and Jevon Carter missed a desperation 3 for the Mountaineers, who had won eight straight. West Virginia coach Bob Huggins was asked what’s next for his team. “We’re getting home at 6 in the morning, what do you think we’re going to do?” Huggins said. “We’re going to sleep.” Nathan Adrian hit a 3-pointer in the final seconds of regulation for the Mountaineers (12-2, 1-1 Big 12) to tie the game at 67 and force overtime. Zach Smith had 15 points to lead the Red Raiders (12-2, 1-1), who finished 7 of 13 from 3-point range and shot 25 of 49 overall.

He said that it’d be different if had beaten people up, but that all he did was touch someone. “Obviously if you read into it, none of this makes sense,” Jones said. “We’re going to see how it goes and I’m more than eager that this will be dismissed pretty soon.” Jones, whose NFL career was nearly ended by suspensions and arrests before the Bengals signed him in 2010, said he planned to discuss the situation with Bengals coach Marvin Lewis. A Bengals spokesman said Tuesday the team was aware of the incident, but wouldn’t comment until the legal case was resolved. Authorities said Jones tangled with hotel security investigating after he was pounding on hotel room doors Monday night. Cincinnati police said he pushed a security employee and poked him in the eye, then struggled, kicking and head-butting, as officers tried to put him into a COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Standout middle linebacker Raekwon McMillan has become the third member of Ohio State’s defense to declare for the NFL draft. He follows All-American safety Malik Hooker and cornerback Gareon Conley, who announced this week they would skip their senior seasons for the NFL. McMillan’s decision, announced Wednesday via Twitter, wasn’t unexpected. A unanimous All-Big Ten player the past two seasons, McMillan had 15 tackles and a sack of Clemson quarterback Deshaun Watson in Ohio State’s 31-0 loss to the Tigers last Saturday. Other Buckeyes who haven’t made an announcement but could leave early for the draft include defensive end Tyquan Lewis, cornerback Marshon Lattimore and H-back Curtis Samuel. Quarterback J.T. Barrett seemed to indicate in his postgame comments Saturday that he would stay for his senior season. Texas hires Ohio State’s Beck for OC AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — New Texas football coach Tom Herman has hired former Ohio State offensive coordinator Tim Beck for the same position with the Longhorns. Hiring Beck fills one of the last major spots on Herman’s staff as he tries to turn a program after three consecutive losing seasons under Charlie Strong. The Longhorns haven’t played in a bowl since the 2014 season. Beck also was previously the offensive coordinator at Nebraska and an offensive assistant at Kansas. He joins Texas after Ohio State lost 31-0 to Clemson last week in the College Football Playoff. Contract details for Beck at Texas were not released Tuesday. Beck’s contract must still be approved by the university’s Board of Regents. Raiders to start Connor Cook at QB against Texans ALAMEDA, Calif. (AP) — The Oakland Raiders are going with rookie Connor Cook at quarterback in their wild-card game against the Texans. Cook gets the nod with Pro Bowler Derek Carr out with a broken leg and backup Matt McGloin nursing a shoulder injury that could make it tough for him to practice enough before Saturday’s game at Houston. Cook will be the first quarterback ever to make his first career start in the postseason. Despite appearing in just one game as a rookie, the Raiders (12-4) say Cook showed some “swagger” when he replaced McGloin in the second quarter on Sunday in Denver, and has their confidence heading into the game against the Texans (9-7) because of what they’ve seen all year. John Minchillo | AP Bengals cornerback Adam “Pacman” Jones speaks to reporters as he is released from the Hamilton County Justice Center after be charged with felony harassment with a bodily substance, Wednesday in Cincinnati. He is also charged with assault, disorderly conduct and obstructing police. An attorney representing Jones has told a Hamilton County judge that he “vehemently denies” the charges that led to his arrest. police vehicle on the initial charge of assault. He was charged with two more misdemeanors, of disorderly conduct and obstructing official business, and a felony charge of harassment with a bodily substance was added after the sheriff’s office said he spit on a nurse’s hand at the jail. A judge Tuesday set bond at $37,500 and ordered Jones to provide a blood sample and be tested for communicable diseases. The sheriff’s office said it had to wait until medical staff was available Wednesday morning, so Jones remained in jail overnight. Public defender Lauren Staley said in court Tuesday that Jones “vehemently denies” that he assaulted anyone and will hire an attorney to contest the charges. Jones will be subject to potential NFL discipline after the case is resolved. Jones pleaded an equivalent of no contest to a misdemeanor charge of conspiracy to commit disorderly conduct in a 2007 Las Vegas strip club melee. Jones was blamed for instigating violence that led to the shooting by someone else of two club employees, one left paralyzed from the waist down. He was ordered to pay more than $12.4 million in damages. He was suspended as a Tennessee Titan by the NFL throughout the 2007 season, then was suspended again during the 2008 season as a member of the Dallas Cowboys. The Titans made the Atlanta native the sixth overall pick out of West Virginia University in the 2005 draft, and he started 28 games in his first two seasons. His NFL career was in doubt before he became a regular Bengals starting defensive back and punt returner. In Cincinnati, he was acquitted in 2013 on an assault charge in Hamilton County after a woman accused him of punching her in a nightclub. Earlier that year, he paid a fine for disorderly conduct after police accused him of making offensive comments during a traffic stop. He also pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct in January 2012 after an arrest at a Cincinnati bar. AP Rankings: Pats finish regular season at No. 1 NEW YORK (AP) — Going into the playoffs, the New England Patriots are once again a strong favorite to reach the Super Bowl. The Patriots finished the regular season with an NFL-best 14-2 record. Tom Brady and Bill Belichick have a firstround bye and home-field advantage throughout the AFC playoffs and will start their drive for their seventh Super Bowl appearance in Foxborough on Jan. 14. The Patriots also finished the season as the unanimous choice for the top spot in the final AP Pro32 poll of the season, released Tuesday. New England received all 12 first-place votes for 384 points from balloting by media members who regularly cover the NFL. “The 14-2 Patriots own home-field advantage in the AFC,” said Rick Gosselin of The Dallas Morning News. “But does it really matter? New England was the only NFL team to go 8-0 on the road this season.” Dallas and Kansas City remained at No. 2 and 3, respectively. Dallas has Joe Theismann slams 49ers for giving Colin Kaepernick award NEW YORK (AP) — Former Washington Redskins quarterback Joe Theismann isn’t happy with the San Francisco 49ers’ decision to give Colin Kaepernick an award for “inspirational and courageous” player. Kaepernick sparked a national debate by kneeling during the national anthem before games as a way of protesting racial injustice and police brutality. Kaepernick received the Len Eshmont Award last week. The prize is described as the team’s most prestigious honor; its recipient is decided by players. Theismann noted the team’s 2-14 record during an appearance on Fox News on Tuesday and questioned what Kaepernick has inspired. He said, “Everybody has the right to express their opinion, but not in the workplace.” Theismann called on the NFL to adopt a policy requiring players to stand for the anthem. the top seed in the NFC. “And now for the hard part. After a brilliant regular-season performance earns the Cowboys the No. 1 seed in the NFC playoffs, they try and become the first team to win a Super Bowl with a rookie quarterback,” Newsday’s Bob Glauber said. “But Dak Prescott doesn’t seem overwhelmed by the moment, and wunderkind running back Ezekiel Elliott looks ready to build on a spectacular regular-season performance.” The Chiefs wrapped up the AFC West title and a first-round bye. “What the Chiefs have done in four seasons under Andy Reid and John Dorsey should serve as a model for teams starting the rebuild process this offseason,” said Jenny Vrentas of The Monday Morning Quarterback. “Reid trusted Dorsey to build a deep roster; Dorsey trusted Reid to coach and develop their players. The result was steady forward progress and sweeping the toughest division in football.” NFC South champion Atlanta and AFC North winner Pittsburgh both inched up, to No. 4 and 5, respectively. “No one is talking about Matt Ryan or the Atlanta Falcons,” said Charean Williams of the Fort Worth Star Telegram. “Something tells me that’s just the way they like it.” The Giants and Packers, who will meet on Sunday afternoon in Lambeau Field, tied for No. 6. “Very hot right now, but banged-up on defense,” NBC’s Tony Dungy said of the Packers. “If they can handle the Giants, I could see them winning in Dallas.” NFC West champ Seattle was No. 8 and hosts Detroit on Saturday night. “Should have an easy time with Lions,” Fox Sports’ John Czarnecki said of the Seahawks. The Raiders dropped five spots to No. 9 and may have to use Connor Cook at quarterback in their wild-card game against the Texans on Saturday. Miami remained at No. 10 as the Dolphins go to Heinz Field and face the Steelers on Sunday. Denver, which missed the playoffs and needs a coach after Gary Kubiak resigned for health reasons, finished No. 13. “Went from 7-3 on their bye week to 9-7 and out of the playoffs,” ESPN. com’s Jeff Legwold said. “They lost an eight-point lead with three minutes to play in Denver against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 12 and weren’t the same since. “Now Gary Kubiak has retired and they enter the offseason with huge questions in the offensive line and in need of a head coach.” Carolina, the Broncos’ opponent in Super Bowl 50, finished No. 24. “Cam Newton and the shell-shocked Panthers looked like they never recovered from that Super Bowl loss to Denver,” said Ira Kaufman of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Cincinnati, which won the AFC North last season, failed to qualify for the first time in six seasons and was at No. 25. And the Bengals’ division rival, the Browns, were 1-15 and last in the poll.
