GALLIPOLIS — A
new year can evoke a
need for reinventing
oneself, and a trio of
local people want to help
keep residents in Gallia County inspired and
motivated to make those
changes.
Trainers BJ and Bekah
Robinson and Clint
Saunders, have launched

a personal training business in Gallia County,
which includes, corrective movement
programs, therapeutic
exercises, and health and
wellness programs. Their
programs are not, “one
size ﬁts all” programs,
says Saunders. They
offer classes and many
styles of training to all
ages and all needs.
“The war of wellness
begins in the head and

gut,” BJ said.
“If an individual can
start to practice positive
afﬁrmations, that can be
a ﬁrst step in reinventing a person’s life in a
healthy way,” Bekah
chimed in.
Of course, as Saunders
put it: “Starting is the
hardest aspect of beginning a healthy lifestyle
and that is what it is,
being healthy, is a lifestyle.”
The three put their
money where their
mouths are when it

comes to living a healthy
lifestyle themselves. BJ
is a current, professional
ﬁghter and has competed competitively in football, basketball, wrestling
and track and ﬁeld. He
also has an international

Manhunt underway for suspect in killing of officer
ORLANDO, Fla. (AP)
— An Orlando police sergeant was shot and killed
Monday after approaching a suspect wanted for
questioning in the murder of his pregnant exgirlfriend, and a second
law enforcement ofﬁcer
was killed in a motorcycle
crash while responding
to a massive manhunt for
the suspect.
More than a dozen
schools were placed in
lockdown during the
manhunt, and authorities
were offering a $60,000
reward for information
leading to the arrest
of Markeith Loyd, the
41-year-old suspect wanted in the killing of Master
Sgt. Debra Clayton.
Ofﬁcers and deputies
focused their manhunt on
an apartment complex in
northwest Orlando, and
dozens of residences had
been searched. Residents
who were evacuated
from their homes sat on
a sidewalk along a street
with heavily armed ofﬁcers and deputies and a

parked SWAT team truck.
Clayton, 42, was killed
outside a Wal-Mart store
in northwest Orlando
early Monday, and
Orange County Sheriff’s
Ofﬁce Deputy First Class
Norman Lewis was killed
in a crash while responding to a manhunt for
Loyd.
Another Orlando police
ofﬁcer was involved in a
crash while responding to
the shooting but had only
minor injuries.
Authorities said Loyd
previously was a suspect
in the murder of his
pregnant ex-girlfriend in
December.
“He should be considered armed and dangerous,” Police Chief John
Mina said at a morning
press conference. Later
in the day, the chief said,
“It doesn’t matter where
he is. We will track him
down to the ends of the
Earth.”
Orange County Sheriff
Jerry Demings said deputies had been searching
unsuccessfully for Loyd

for several weeks and
believe he was receiving
help from someone.
At an afternoon news
conference, Demings
urged Loyd to turn himself in peacefully.
“If we have to go in
after him, then that jeopardizes and puts at risk
the safety of law enforcement ofﬁcers … and we
cannot control what happens in that situation,”
Demings said.
Mina lauded Clayton,
a 17-year veteran of the
force as a “committed”
ofﬁcer and “a hero” who
gave her life to the community she loves. The
Orlando Police Department said in a tweet
that Clayton always had
a smile and a high ﬁve
for every child she came
across.
Clayton had grown up
in the Orlando area and
was active in programs
that mentored young
people, Mina said.
“She was always the
ﬁrst to step up and help
kids,” the chief said.
Clayton was a supervisor for a patrol division in
the neighborhood where
she was shot, and she
previously had worked
in investigations and as
a school resource ofﬁcer,
Deputy Chief Orlando
Rolon said.
“She made a point,
even outside her working
hours, to do things for
youth and do things for
the community,” Rolon
said.
She was married and
had a college-aged son.
She died Monday at 7:40
a.m., less than an hour
after she was shot while
on duty.

Police released a video
of Clayton’s body being
taken out of the hospital
to a waiting van in a ﬂagcovered stretcher. A line
of ofﬁcers saluted as the
stretcher was wheeled
out.
Authorities said 17 area
schools were placed in
lockdown after the shooting.
The apartment complex
that was the focus of the
manhunt and shooting in
northwest Orlando was
nowhere near Orlando’s
tourism corridor in the
southern part of the
metro area.
“There will be a large
law enforcement presence in that area until we
can determine he is not
there,” Mina said.
Orlando Mayor Buddy
Dyer declared a day of
mourning in the city.
While at the Wal-Mart
Monday morning, Clayton was tipped off by
someone that Loyd was
in the area. When she
approached him, he ﬁred
multiple shots at Clayton,
who was wearing body
armor, Mina said.
Clayton returned ﬁre
but didn’t hit him, he
said.
Sheriff’s ofﬁcials said a
deputy spotted Loyd ﬂeeing in a vehicle. The suspect pulled into a nearby
apartment complex and
then ﬁred at a deputy,
striking the deputy’s SUV
twice. The deputy wasn’t
harmed, the sheriff’s
ofﬁce said.
Loyd then carjacked
another vehicle, drove
away and then abandoned
the vehicle not far away,
according to the sheriff’s
ofﬁce.

Commerce secretary
pick’s company to
pay $150K EPA fine
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — A company
associated with West Virginia’s newly tapped commerce secretary has agreed to pay a $150,000 ﬁne
after it was accused of violating the federal Clean
Water Act.
The Charleston Gazette-Mail (http://bit.
ly/2ibr9k1) reports federal authorities recently
ﬁnalized a deal with High Tech Corridor Development LLC regarding what federal inspectors
concluded was unpermitted construction work for
an extension of the White Oaks business park in
Bridgeport.
High Tech Corridor is part of The Thrasher
Group, an engineering ﬁrm headed by Woody
Thrasher, Gov-Elect Jim Justice’s pick to be the
next commerce secretary.
The consent agreement was proposed by the
EPA in October and ﬁnalized last month.
Thrasher said in an email that the Department
of Environmental Protection “has not acted in
a responsible manner on this issue.” He did not
elaborate.

found to be at the normal level.
A check by Columbia
Gas on Friday evening
with a reading found
of 2 parts per million,
which is within the normal range.
A recheck on Saturday by a different
Columbia Gas employee
found zero parts per
million in the building.
The check was conducted, making sure that
all gas appliances were
properly vented, which
was the case.
The building was
once again checked on
Monday morning, with
levels in each ofﬁce in
the building at zero.
The only place which
read higher was at the
air intake of the boiler
room, which is normal
in the tube of the boiler.
This check was conducted by EMA Director Jamie Jones using
local ﬁre department
equipment. Jones conducted checks on two
occasions using two different devices.
A fourth check was
conducted on Monday
by an individual who
does contracting checks
on the dorms at Ohio
University. The individual from Lanning
Mechanical in Athens
spent approximately
three hours in the building using what was
described as high-end
equipment to check
each ofﬁce and room in
the building individually. Once again the test
showed no elevation of
levels.
Smith said that the
multiple checks were
conducted to make sure
that the building was
safe for employees and
members of the public
who come to the courthouse. Smith said the
safety of everyone is
the number one priority and knowing the
dangers associated with
carbon monoxide exposure makes it important
to ensure everything is
checked.
The sickness on Friday came approximately
six months after there
was an issue with the

boiler exhaust which
sickened a couple individuals. In that case
the exhausted pipe had
been knocked loose by
someone working on
the system. The exhaust
vent system has been
changed since that time
and is functioning properly.
This time no source
has been able to be
located.
The eight individuals
who tested for elevated
levels were scattered
throughout the courthouse and not centralized to one location.
Carbon monoxide can
come from any source
that burns fuel. Common sources are cars,
ﬁreplaces, powerboats,
wood stoves, kerosene
space heaters, charcoal
grills, and gas appliances such as water heaters and ovens. These
things usually cause no
problems. But if they
are not used or installed
properly, carbon monoxide may build up in an
enclosed space, according to WebMD.
When you inhale carbon monoxide it replaces the oxygen that is
normally carried by the
hemoglobin in your red
blood cells. As a result,
your brain and other
tissues get less oxygen.
This can cause serious
symptoms or death.
Signs and symptoms
of carbon monoxide
exposure include headache, nausea, vomiting,
confusion, sluggishness
and ﬂu symptoms.
Zero to 9 PPM are
considered background
carbon monoxide and
are in the normal range.
A range of 10-35 PPM
is considered a potential hazard and should
be investigated.
Numbers above 36
PPM require a breathing apparatus and the
individuals exposed
should be checked by
EMS and/or physicians.
Structures should also
be ventilated to remove
the carbon monoxide.
The courthouse is
equipped with 12 carbon monoxide detectors
which were all checked
to ensure they were
working properly (they
were working). New
batteries have been
placed in each detector.

A giggling bunch of girls go sledding past my
window and down the small hill on the remnant
carpeting of snow behind my house, and it
reminds me of my sister, Pam.
Sled-riding was the only time she didn’t seem
to mind actually wrapping her arms around me.
Back when the snows were deeper and the
winter’s longer, Pam and I would round-up the
neighborhood kids and trounce off for what
seemed like a mile hike to “Thomas’s Mountain.” The hill was actually only a block away, but it was
our Alps, complete with snow-covered chalets where neighbors from
Maple to River streets gathered for

into the frosty bath of white.
During a big snow, when I was a kid, it
seemed every hill and knoll around burst with
activities from snowman-building to snowballthrowing. Nowadays, I’m surprised when I
notice a stray group of any age taking to the
hills in delight of the snow. When I do, I silently
applaud the rebels who escaped the grip of their

The world seemed to revolve a tad slower
when I was young. Maybe that’s because there
were no high-speed Internets or highways,
or maybe it was simply that I indulged in the
moment easier without the responsibilities
brought on by adulthood.
Whatever the reason, I want to follow the

snowﬂakes full of memories.

That’s especially true of those in
the House. In fact, the representatives’ ﬁrst-day assault on good
sense once again afﬁrmed the sagacity of the late
Louisiana Gov. Earl Long, who said ethics play a
major role in politics — except when they don’t,
which is often. The foolish act ended with the
Republican House majority being chastised by the
amateur television personality about to enter the
White House. The rowdy GOP caucus’s decision
to abolish the independent watchdog ofﬁce of
congressional ethics was chided by nearly every
thinking, honest person in America — and Donald
Trump — forcing the group to quickly reverse its
remarkable misstep.

THEIR VIEW

Russian hacking and glass houses
Many top U.S. intelligence agencies have
concluded that Russian
President Vladimir Putin
directed a secret intelligence operation for the
purpose of discrediting
Hillary Clinton, thereby
helping Donald Trump
win the 2016 presidential
election.
Hillary Clinton has
done more to discredit
herself, going back to
her time as ﬁrst lady of
Arkansas, than the Russians could ever do.
According to an April
2015Quinnipiac University poll, a majority of
U.S. voters, 54 percent,
found Hillary Clinton to
be dishonest and untrustworthy. As Election Day
approached, an ABC
News/Washington Post
poll found 46 percent
of respondents thought
Trump more trustworthy.
Granted, this last poll
followed emails and documents the intelligence
agencies claim Russia
hacked from the Democratic National Committee and the posting of
“fake news” on social
media. Even so, if Hillary
Clinton had consistently
displayed good character,
it would have been difﬁcult for anyone to smear
her.
While Democrats and
some Republicans are
blasting Russia, they
should recall dubious
actions by the United
States. Presidents from
both parties have a long
history of lying and
attempting to dictate who

which include committing

CHARLESTON, W.Va.
(AP) — West Virginia’s chief
medical examiner has been
paying too much to transport
the dead and too many state
prison ofﬁcials drive state
vehicles, according to audit
reports released Monday.
The Legislative Post
Audit Division said the state
sometimes paid vendors
for taking bodies to wrong
locations and paid excessive
mileage reimbursement and
additional fees for transporting two or more bodies
together. The Ofﬁce of Chief
Medical Examiner overpaid
transporters $217,597 over
ﬁve years and the Department of Health and Human
Resources should request
money back, the report said.
The legislative auditor
also found some duplicate
payments, as well as state
reimbursements for “wait
time at the scene,” which
are not allowed.
The department’s Bureau
for Public Health will be
exploring its options regarding the report, spokeswoman Allison Adler said.
Another report said the
Division of Corrections
should evaluate its need for
115 of its vehicles that don’t
meet the state threshold
of traveling 1,100 miles
monthly.
The legislative auditor
also questioned 19 vehicles
assigned to high-level ofﬁcials, including the commissioner, who commute in
them and historically have
never responded to emergencies. The state can save
up to $173,000 in monthly
lease payments by having
those ofﬁcials drive their
own cars or take vehicles
from the division’s car pool,
though it might be less due
to expense reimbursements,
the report said.

Fending off the Defenders

By Alex Hawley
ahawley@civitasmedia.com

RACINE, Ohio —
What goes around,
comes around.
The Southern girls
basketball team — which
lost in the ﬁnal seconds
in its last game — was
propelled to a 54-51 victory over non-conference
guest Portsmouth Clay
by a Josie Cundiff threepointer with 2.3 seconds
left, on Saturday in
Meigs County.
The Lady Tornadoes (6-5) — who had
dropped four straight
decisions prior to Saturday — trailed by a 17-13
margin, eight minutes
into play. Clay (7-4)
— which has now lost
two games in a row —
pushed its lead to 31-to25 by halftime and 46-39
by the end of the third
period.
The Lady Panthers
were held to just ﬁve
points in the ﬁnale, as
the Lady Tornadoes
stormed back to claim
the 54-51 victory.
Cundiff’s game-winning trifecta was one of
just two three-pointers
for SHS on the day.
Meanwhile Clay drained

GALLIPOLIS, Ohio — Visiting River Valley had nine players reach the scoring column
while picking up its third consecutive victory Saturday night
during a hard-fought 55-43
decision over the Ohio Valley
Christian boys basketball team
in a non-conference matchup of
Gallia County programs in the
Old French City.
The Raiders (4-8) traded
a pair of leads with the host
Defenders (7-5) in the opening eight minutes of play, but
a 17-5 surge over the opening 5:10 of the second canto
allowed RVHS to turn a narrow
9-7 edge into its largest lead of
the night at 26-12.
OVCS, however, countered
with a 10-0 run over the ﬁnal
2:25 of the half, allowing the
Blue and White to close to
within 26-22 at the break.
Elijah McDonald’s trifecta
at the 7:29 mark of the third
period allowed the hosts to
close to within a possession at
28-25, but the Silver and Black
responded with a quick 7-0
spurt that led to a 35-25 cushion with 5:34 left.
The Defenders twice closed
to within six points the rest of
the way, the last of which came

at 47-41 with 6:37 left in regulation. The Raiders ultimately
closed the game with an 8-2
run to wrap up the 12-point
triumph.
River Valley — which held
a big advantage in both height
and roster depth — used
those strengths throughout
the course of the night. The
guests forced 20 turnovers and
claimed a 46-27 overall edge
in rebounds, including a 14-3
advantage on the offensive
glass.
The Defenders, however, hit
9-of-23 three-point attempts in
the setback, which marked the
seventh time in the Raiders’
last nine outings that they had
surrendered at least eight trifectas in a game.
RVHS coach Bryan Drummond expressed a ton of
respect for the hosts following
the game, but he also thought
that this win showed a great
deal of character about his
troops as they move forward
with a practically healthy roster.
“Give OVC a lot of credit.
They are scrappy and they
can shoot the basketball from
outside and they did some
things defensively that gave
us trouble,” Drummond said.
“All in all, it’s a good win by
our guys — mainly because we

basketball contest in Gallipolis, Ohio.

had so many players contribute
to what we did tonight. We
still have things to improve on
between now and the rest of
the season, but we are doing
some positive things right now
and we are getting close to full
strength. We deﬁnitely have
some momentum.”
Ohio Valley Christian —
which had only ﬁve players
score — battled more than

depth and size issues in the
contest. The hosts went 0-for-3
at the free throw line over the
course of the evening, while the
Raiders netted 9-of-16 charity
tosses for 56 percent.
River Valley was whistled
for 13 fouls on the night, while
the hosts were called for only
10 fouls. The last of the fouls,

NELSONVILLE, Ohio —
Decisions, decisions.
And, just how close encounters they were for the Gallia
Academy High School wrestling squad.
As a result, the Blue Devils
ﬁnished third on Saturday
in the annual meat-grinding
Nelsonville-York Invitational, as
some talented teams from the
Southeast, Central and East
districts all invaded Ben Wagner Gymnasium in Nelsonville.
Gallia Academy, of the 18
total teams and 17 which

scored points, placed third with
226 total points.
In placing in all but three of
the 14 weight classes, the Blue
Devils secured six top-three
placements — three runner-up
ﬁnishes combined with three
thirds.
Unfortunately for Gallia
Academy, it lost all three of
its championship matches by
narrow hard-fought decisions
— and thus took third behind
champion West Jefferson (260
points) and runner-up Caledonia River Valley (237.5 points).

tournament-bests of 21
total pinfall wins and
eight top-four ﬁnishers en route to a 34-13
overall record and a ﬁnal
tally of 183 points.
Norwood ﬁnished the
23-team, two-day event
as runner-up with 151
points, with Reading
(132.5), Bethel-Tate
(125.5) and Blanchester
(125.0) rounding out
the top-ﬁve spots in the
mostly Cincinnati area
based tournament.
PPHS — which did
not have entrants in
the 126-, 138- and 170pound divisions — had
all but three grapplers

ﬁnish as top-six placers
while also landing three
wrestlers in weight class
ﬁnals.
Point Pleasant also
went a perfect 3-for-3
in those championship
bouts, allowing the Big
Blacks to join Norwood
as the programs to come
away with the most individual titles.
Bethel-Tate was the
only other program to
win multiple titles with
two. Goshen, Blanchester, Summit Country
Day, Indian Hill, Reading and host Madeira
also earned an individual crown apiece.
Senior Grant Safford
posted three pinfalls and
went a perfect 4-0 at 182
pounds, while junior

Brian Gillispie had two
pinfall wins while going
4-0 in the heavyweight
division.
Senior Austin Wamsley also won the 145pound weight class with
three pinfall wins and a
15-0 technical fall while
going 4-0 overall.
The Big Blacks had
a trio of third-place
ﬁnishes from junior
Jacob Roub, sophomore
George Smith and freshman Justin Cornell.
Roub had two pinfalls
and went 5-1 overall at
152 pounds, while Smith
(113) and Cornell (106)
each had two pinfall
wins and a 4-1 record
in their respective divisions.
Senior Andrew

Roach was fourth at

pinfall wins and a 4-2
mark. Junior Caleb Lane
was also fourth at 120

while classmate Juan
Marquez earned a pinfall
win and a 2-2 record at
220 pounds.
Freshman Nazar Abass
also went 1-2 overall at
160 pounds for the Big
Blacks.
“I’m very proud of the
boys for the way they
battled this weekend,”
PPHS coach John Bonecutter said after the
event. “Anytime you go

into Ohio, you are going
to wrestle tough competition — especially
in that part of the state.
We are improving in a
lot of areas and working toward being more
consistent from match to
match, and this weekend
was a step in that direction.”

“There were some
things we could have
done better, but I
thought my guys gave
me everything they had
to give,” Rice said. “We
turned the ball over too
much and we couldn’t
really match up with
their size on the boards
or the depth of their

worked their butts off
nonetheless. I’m proud
of the way the kids

Lady Lancers edge Raiders
By Paul Boggs
pboggs@civitasmedia.com

BIDWELL, Ohio —
Unfortunately for River
Valley, the Lady Raiders’
quick start on Saturday
didn’t quite equate to a
winning result.
That’s because, by
being outscored 28-16 in
the middle two quarters,
host River Valley fell to
Federal Hocking 50-47 in
a non-league girls basketball tilt.
River Valley roared out

Steelers
assistant
coach
arrested
PITTSBURGH (AP)
— Former Pro Bowl linebacker and current Pittsburgh Steelers assistant
coach Joey Porter was
charged early Monday
with assaulting a doorman at a bar and a police
ofﬁcer who intervened
hours after the team’s
wild card win over the
Miami Dolphins.
The altercation happened at about 9:30 p.m.
Sunday, following the
Steelers’ 30-12 home victory over the Dolphins in
the opening round of the
NFL playoffs.
According to a criminal
complaint, ofﬁcer Paul
Abel was working security at another nearby bar
when he was told by an
off-duty ofﬁcer that the
doorman at The Flats on
Carson Street was being
threatened by a Steeler.
Abel said he arrived to
ﬁnd the doorman refusing to let Porter — who
appeared to be intoxicated — into the club.
“Last time you were
here, you threatened to
kill me,” Abel overheard
the doorman saying to
Porter. “You need to
leave. You are not getting
in.” Police didn’t immediately explain the context
of the remark, but online
court records don’t show
any charges relating to
such an incident.
Abel, the 5-foot-6,
145-pound ofﬁcer who
ﬁled the complaint,
said Porter, 6-foot-3 and
260 pounds, ignored
him when he asked
what was going on and
grabbed him by the
arms and lifted him off
the ground. The doorman, described as 6-foot
and 195 pounds, wasn’t
aggressive with Porter
and had his hands in his
pockets, according to the
complaint.
Abel said he pulled
Porter away from the
doorman, according to
the complaint. That’s
when Porter grabbed
the ofﬁcer’s wrists “so
tightly that I could not
pull them away from him,
no matter how hard I
tried,” the ofﬁcers said in
the complaint.
Porter backed away but
then refused to put his
hands behind his back.
Porter eventually
allowed himself to be
handcuffed but yelled,
“You’re lying, I never
touched you,” as Abel
arrested him, the complaint said.
Porter was charged
with aggravated assault
on the ofﬁcer, simple
assault on the doorman, resisting arrest,
disorderly conduct, deﬁant trespass and public
drunkenness.

to a 16-9 lead following
the opening period, but
only scored six points in
the second stanza — as
the Lady Lancers forged a
22-22 halftime tie.
Federal Hocking, which
won its third affair over
a Tri-Valley Conference
Ohio Division club this
season, then outscored
the Raiders 15-10 in the
third canto.
The Raiders won the
fourth frame 15-13,
but it wasn’t enough to
overcome the late 37-32

deﬁcit.
With the loss, River
Valley fell to 2-9, while
the Lancers picked up
their fourth win in their
last ﬁve contests to
improve to 5-7.
The Lady Lancers
also overcame only making half of their 26 free
throws — by meshing as
many (13) as River Valley
even attempted.
River Valley held an
18-17 advantage in total
ﬁeld goals, but Federal
Hocking hit three three-

pointers compared to
none for the Silver and
Black.
Erin Jackson, on six
ﬁeld goals and 5-of-6
free throws, led the Lady
Raiders with 17 points.
Jessica Steele scored
six ﬁeld goals and 2-of-3
foul shots for 14 points,
while Jaden Neal — on
ﬁve ﬁeld goals and 2-of2 freebies — notched a
dozen.
Jackson, Neal and
Steele scored a basket
apiece for River Val-

ley’s only second-period
points.
Beth Gillman with a
pair of ﬁrst-quarter free
throws, and Maggie
Campbell with a thirdframe bucket, rounded
out the Raider scoring.
Six players accounted
for all 50 points for the
Lady Lancers, paced by
Destiny Tabler with a
game-high 21.
Tabler, on seven total
ﬁeld goals which included
two threes, also sank ﬁve
of Federal Hocking’s free

throws.
Kaylli McPherson
added nine points for
Federal Hocking, while
Hannah Dunfee and
Audrey Blake each
chipped in eight.
The Lady Raiders
returned home, and
returned to TVC-Ohio
Division action, on Monday night for a makeup
matchup against Nelsonville-York.

Surging Minnesota outlasts Ohio State, 78-68
MINNEAPOLIS
(AP) — Conﬁdence
and poise are suddenly
in ample supply at Minnesota. Newcomers to
the lineup have provided
instant sparks and critical production.
The most tangible factor in the turnaround,
though, has to be the
defense.
Amir Coffey had 19
points on 7-of-11 shooting, helping the Gophers

stave off another setback
at home with a 78-68 victory over Ohio State on
Sunday night.
“You can’t take for
granted the little things
at home because you’re
going to have a great
crowd,” Minnesota coach
Richard Pitino said.
“That’s not what’s going
to win you the game.
What’s going to win the
game is great defense.”
The Gophers, who

entered the game with
the best ﬁeld goal percentage defense in the
Big Ten, held the Buckeyes without a basket for
an 8:03 stretch early in
the ﬁrst half on their way
to a 26-8 lead.
Akeem Springs scored
18 points on 5-for-8
shooting from 3-point
range for the Gophers
(15-2, 3-1), who have
already topped their
Big Ten win total of

last season and beat the
Buckeyes for only the
second time in the last
12 meetings.
“You’ve just got to be
tough. You’ve got to get
those 50-50 balls. You’ve
got make the critical
stop down the stretch,”
Springs said.
Jae’Sean Tate had 20
points and nine rebounds
and Trevor Thompson
had 15 points and 15
rebounds for Ohio State

(10-6, 0-3), but Tate also
committed ﬁve fouls and
seven turnovers. The
Buckeyes have lost their
ﬁrst three conference
games for the ﬁrst time
in coach Thad Matta’s 13
seasons.
“We’ve just got to
ﬁgure out a way to just
come out and play on
the court like we do
when we’re down by
10,” Tate said. “We can’t
wait.”
