Southeastern Ohio as
outdoorsmen and women
take to the woods in
pursuit of Whitetail Deer.

GALLIPOLIS — River Valley High School students in the
Mock Trial Program recently
had the opportunity to observe
a real court trial.
Juniors and seniors, who have
to be in AP classes, were invited
by Gallipolis City Solicitor
Adam Salisbury, the Municipal
Court, and Judge Eric Mulford
to sit in and observe the legal
proceedings. They also got the
chance to tour the facility and
see the workings of the justice
system.
Salisbury was involved with
the case and works with the
Mock Trial program to help
educate RV students about the
legal system. He explained that

“The reason the kids need to

OHIO VALLEY — A song can give

At the recent observance of the 50th

Annie Chapman connected with those
in attendance through song.
Steve wrote “The Silver Bridge” in
1997 and Annie said they performed it
for the first time at the Mason County

CANTON, Ohio (AP)
— A woman accused
of killing her 5-year-old
daughter, who was later
found hidden in her family’s Ohio restaurant,
was sentenced Friday to
22 years in prison after
pleading guilty to involuntary manslaughter and
other charges.
Ming Ming Chen had
been charged with murder, but Stark County
prosecutors changed that
to involuntary manslaughter under a plea deal.
Chen, 30, also pleaded
guilty to evidencetampering, corpse abuse,
child endangerment and
obstructing justice.
The body of her
daughter, Ashley Zhao,
was found hidden in the
family’s North Canton
restaurant after the child
was reported missing last
January. Authorities said
that Chen repeatedly hit
the girl and that Chen’s
husband tried to revive
her before helping to hide
the body.
County Prosecutor
John Ferrero said evidence and interviews in
the case indicate Chen
didn’t plan or intend to
kill her daughter and that
it was a tragedy “committed in a fit of anger by a

mother who had never
bonded with her child.”
Defense attorney Richard Drucker disagreed
with that characterization, saying that Chen
is apologetic and takes
responsibility for her
actions but that if the
case had gone to trial,
they would have argued
that Chen’s husband was
violent toward both the
girl and Chen and that he
also bore responsibility in
the death.
Chen’s husband, Liang
Zhao, earlier pleaded
guilty to charges including obstructing justice
and corpse abuse and
agreed to testify against
his wife. A murder charge
against him was dropped.
His attorney previously
said Zhao maintained his
innocence in the child’s
death.
It was a sad situation
for Chen, who came to
the U.S. illegally from
China as a teenager in
search of a better life,
started a family with an
American citizen who
also was Chinese and
ended up in a violent
household, Drucker said.
“I don’t think she’s a
monster,” Drucker said.
“I think she was a woman
that made very poor
choices in her life at the
time.”
Because she was in the
U.S. illegally, authorities
say Chen is expected to
be deported to China
after serving her sentence.
Court records referred
to her as Mingming Chen,
though lawyers in the
case now spell her name
as three words instead of
two.

THEIR VIEW
Death, taxes
and the junk in
your basement
This editorial recently appeared in the Chicago
Tribune:
This is a time to relax with family and friends,
catch up on sleep and “Stranger Things” and, we
suggest, contemplate your death.
Not in a macabre way, of course.
We’re hoping that Americans warm to the
idea of importing a Swedish tradition known
as “dostadning” — or “death cleaning.” Which
means that before you die, you toss your junk,
declutter the house, and leave pristine surfaces
and only the most prized possessions for your
heirs. As death and taxes are inevitable, so is the
imperative for someone to deal with whatever you
leave behind.
Margareta Magnusson, the Swedish author of
a new book, “The Gentle Art of Death Cleaning,”
is blunt: If you can’t pawn off your stuff on family
members when you’re alive, why would they want
it when you’re dead?
We love the idea of “death cleaning” — and so,
eventually, will your kids. The author tells The
New York Times that 65 is a good time to start the
process, but hey, feel free to start anytime the urge
strikes. Because, well, you never know.
Our first — and only — rule of “death cleaning”: Be ruthless.
Instead of pack-ratting stuff in the basement,
crawl space, attic and every available corner of
every available room, steel yourself and toss. And
toss and toss and toss. Give to charity. Donate to
friends. Put it on the curb and wave goodbye and
pray that someone takes it before you change your
mind.
If you can’t bear to dump something, ask yourself: Have I used this in the past 10 to 20 years?
Did I even recall it was in the storage room, the
closet? If the answer to either of these questions is
no, then chuck it. You can live without it. No one
else wants it. Repeat that mantra.
We know there are sentimental types who think
that every letter, every birthday card, every note,
everything that they touched in their lives is
somehow to be stored and treasured. Magnusson’s
solution: Create a box or two of stuff that means
something only to you — old love letters, birthday cards, etc. Label it: “To Be Discarded On My
Death.”
Death cleaning needn’t be morbid or disturbing.
Culling through your old photos, high school yearbooks and letters from friends can be delightful.
Enjoy it but don’t get bogged down. Then be merciless about what is essential. If your must-keep
pile requires renting a separate storage locker,
you’re keeping too much.
Yes, Americans are addicted to their possessions. Hoarding is an addiction. That’s why there
are videos, books and gurus waiting to advise
on what author Marie Kondo’s book calls “the
life-changing magic of tidying up.” Her pitch: If a
thing doesn’t “spark joy,” trash it.
That’s excellent advice. We speak from experience. When the dumpsters fill, you’ll be surprised
how much lighter you feel. When surfaces clear,
serenity settles in. Nothing to interrupt the eye
or weigh down future generations. And you don’t
have to be dead to enjoy it.
THEIR VIEW
Thoughts as a busy year ends
Submitted for your
approval, as Rod Serling of “Twilight Zone”
fame used to say, some
thoughts as the year
comes to a close and
another approaches.
* Twelve months ago,
as a tumultuous 2016
logged its final days in
preparation for an arguably crazier 2017, we
in the Ohio Valley were
remarking about how
warm and wet the weather had become, to the
point that some people
joked about celebrating
their Christmas with the
air conditioning pressed
back into service. It was
actually the beginning
of the mildest winter
we’d seen in some time,
with little or no snowfall
and the arrival of spring
offering little excitement
as the warmth to which
we’d become accustomed
continued.
We’re now entering the
second week of a cold
snap that speaks to the
chillier days of late January into February. Little
snow to go with it yet,

Year’s Day celebrates the fact
that we’ve shown up 365 days
in a row. It’s a real accomplishment.

We celebrate the start of

we’ve have made it through.
To get through every day of
an entire year, even for the

easy. There are long, tough

From Pomeroy to Puerto Rico
Rotary helps bring light to
hurricane ravaged island
By Sarah Hawley
shawley@aimmediamidwest.com
POMEROY/PUERTO
RICO — Rotary clubs
in Meigs County and
Puerto Rico, along with
the national Rotary are
teaming up to bring light
where there has been
none for several weeks.
In September, the
island territory of Puerto
Rico was devastated by
the impacts of Hurricane
Maria. With 95 percent
of the island’s residents
without water, electric
cell service or forms of
communication, relief
for the area was hard to
come by.
While it may seem like
Puerto Rico is a long
way from the shores of
the Ohio River, there
is a unique connection
between the island nation
and the Pomeroy area,
which also connects the
Rotary clubs in the Pomeroy to the club in Arecibo.
Carolyn (Allman)
Montañez grew up in
Pomeroy, graduating from
Pomeroy High School.
After graduating, Carolyn went to New York to
study art fashion design
at the Fashion Institute of
Technology (FIT). It was
New York where she met
her husband, an engineer
from Puerto Rico.
Moving to Puerto
Rico, Montañez and her
husband had factories in
Puerto Rico and Costa
Rica, while she also spent
30 years teaching English. Montañez is also fluent in Spanish.
Even while living in
Puerto Rico for more
than 50 years, Montañez
and her family made regular trips back to Pomeroy
for Thanksgiving at her
family home. The family
still maintains her parents
home in Pomeroy.
For 40 years, Montañez
and her late husband have
been involved with the
Rotary, with Montañez
joining when women
were permitted to do so.
Montañez explained
that in the days following Hurricane Maria she
and other would have to
stay in one location of the
home once darkness set
in as there was no way to
see to move around the
house.
In her 53 years on the
island it was the worst
she had seen. Montañez said that the storm
destroyed everything,
leaving residents without
the ability to get basic
needs such as water,
food, medication and
other needs. The island
was paralyzed. Cash was
needed to purchase any
items which were available, gas was needed to
get to the items, and none
of that was available due
to the storm.
It was dark from 6 p.m.
to 6 a.m., with Montañez
unable to see and afraid
to fall if she were to move
around in her home. She,
like many others, had to
rely on the amount of
food they had, but had no
way to keep things cold.
She said she survived on
a half glass of water a day,
rationing what she had
available in her home.
When the rains came
again, residents were
able to collect rain water
to use for bathroom and
laundry usage.
Montañez had already
planned to come back
to the mainland United
States for Thanksgiving
so she went ahead with
her plans and has since
returned to Puerto Rico
where she lives on the
northern coast, about an
hour from San Juan.
Unlike the mainland
United States, when
disaster strikes, relief
supplies are able to be
trucked in to the area.
That is not the case with
an island.
Montañez’s daughter
Carolee Montañez-Allman was in Washington
D.C. at the time the hurricane hit Puerto Rico
working on another grant
project for Rotary. When
the hurricane hit and the
devastation became evident, Montañez-Allman
asked if the funding she
was working on could be
routed to a program for
disaster relief. MontañezAllman, who lives in Virginia, visits Puerto Rico
regularly to be with her
mother since the passing
of her father. There are
other family members
on the island as well.
When the hurricane hit it
took a few weeks before
Montañez-Allman was
able to get a flight in to
Puerto Rico to check on
her mother.
Now, the Rotary Club
of Arecibo (Puerto Rico)
is working with other
Rotary Clubs to provide
solar-powered flashlights/
cell phone chargers with a
USB port to those in the
vulnerable population on
the island.
The Rotary Club of
Washington D.C. provided the initial $5,000
for Phase I of the project,
with Phase II launched
in late November. Phase
I covered the first 100
lights to be sent to
the island. The Rotary
worked with Governor
Ricardo Rosello of Puerto
Rico in facilitating some
of the distribution efforts
through appointed state
officials.
While distributing the
lights for Phase I, the
group came across many
disabled and elderly
who could not technically operate or afford
fuel-powered generators.
The battery lights which
were being used would
run down quickly, with
batteries not available.
Candles were also used,
but could be a fire hazard and did not provide
much light.
The lights provided
through the Rotary
project provide about
10 hours of light from a
single charge, and last
approximately seven
years should the lights
be needed during future
outages.
While batteries, fuel
and other energy sources
are in short supply on
the island, the sun is
frequently shining, making the solar lights of the
project more useful than
many others.
The goal for fundrais-

Damage like that seen in the photo could be seen around the
island.

Puerto Rico from the hurricane.

documents and inspect the lights which are being funded through

ing in Phase II is $50,000
which would allow for
the distribution of 5,000
free light/chargers to the
elderly and disabled, particularly in rural areas.
Montañez and Montañez-Allman recently met
with the Pomeroy-Middleport Rotary who has
agreed to serve as the
fiscal agent for Phase II
of the project, accepting
donations to enable the
purchase of the lights.
The Rotary Club of
Weston, West Virginia,
was also among the first
to join in the efforts on
the project “Light for
Puerto Rico,” donating
$500 for the cause.

Buckeyes
beat USC in
Cotton Bowl
Defense powers OSU to 24-7 win
By Jim Naveau
jnaveau@limanews.com
DALLAS – Ohio State had much to be proud of
in its 12-win season and its 24-7 win over USC in
the Cotton Bowl, but its offense on Friday night
wasn’t necessarily one of those things.
But there are other ways to win football games
than rolling up big offensive numbers. And the
Buckeyes used two of those ways to beat a traditional rival — ways like playing defense and
watching an opponent set fire to any chance it had
to win the game.
Ohio State sacked possible NFL No. 1 overall
draft choice Sam Darnold eight times and the only
touchdown its defense allowed was set up by a
fumble at its own 15-yard line.
USC had four turnovers – three fumbles and an
interception – and its three first-half turnovers all
led to OSU touchdowns as the Buckeyes built a
24-0 lead with 5:27 left in the first half.
No. 5 Ohio State (12-2) has won at least 12
games in five of the six seasons Urban Meyer has
been its coach and has won 12 or more in seven
seasons overall.
“Our defensive line won that game. And our
secondary,” Ohio State coach Urban Meyer said.
“That quarterback (Darnold), I have a lot of
respect for him. But the best way to disrupt a
quarterback is to get after him and we did.”
Defensive ends Sam Hubbard, with 2.5 sacks
and 3.5 tackles for losses, and Nick Bosa, with 1.5
sacks, led the defensive pressure on Darnold.
Meyer said OSU’s defense was “dominating and
relentless against an excellent quarterback.”
“Our defense was dominating. Our offense
didn’t play very well,” he said.
The Buckeyes’ defense played without their No.
1 cornerback, Denzel Ward, who made a last-minute decision – or at least a last-minute announcement – that he would not play in the Cotton Bowl
to avoid an injury that might hurt his NFL draft
standing.

Lady Marauders
push past Lady
Cardinals, 50-34
By Bryan Walters
bwalters@aimmediamidwest.com
MARIETTA, Ohio —
A little late, but a nice
holiday gift nonetheless.
The Meigs girls basketball team snapped a
three-game losing skid
in rather convincing
fashion on Friday following a 50-34 victory over
East Cleveland Shaw
in the opening round
of the 2017 Ohio River
Tournament held at
Ban Johnson Arena on
the campus of Marietta
College in Washington
County.
The Lady Marauders
(5-5) found themselves
in a small 8-7 hole after
eight minutes of play,
but the Maroon and
Gold countered with
a pivotal 30-16 charge
over the next two quarters that all but sealed
the deal on returning to
.500 this season.
MHS had five different
players score during a
14-9 second period run
that turned a one-point
deficit into a 21-17 intermission advantage, then
Marissa Noble netted
eight points — including
two trifectas — as part
of a 16-7 third quarter
surge that extended the
lead out to 37-24 headed
into the finale.
Noble added another
six points down the
stretch as Meigs closed
regulation on a 13-10
run to beat the Lady
Cardinals by a 16-point
margin.
The Lady Marauders made 21 total field
goals — including five
three-pointers — and
also went 3-of-8 at the
free throw line for 38
percent.
Noble led MHS with
a game-high 19 points,
followed by Kassidy
Betzing with 11 points
and Madison Fields with
10 markers. Becca Pullins was next with six
points, while Madison
Hendricks and Devin
Humphreys completed
the winning tally with
two points apiece.
SHS netted 13 total
field goals — including
five trifectas — and also
went 3-of-10 at the charity stripe for 30 percent.
The Lady Cardinals
were also held to singledigit scoring in each of
the first three periods of
play.
Deleah Gibson paced
Shaw with 17 points and
Jasmine Manuel added
five points, followed
by Paula Taylor and
Lexi Gordon with three
points each.
Shaniyah White,
Demaria Collins and
Dominique Tomoto also
had two markers apiece
in the setback.
Meigs will face Marietta in the second day
of the Ohio River Tournament on Saturday at
11:15 a.m.

Ravens look to clinch wild-card berth vs. Bengals
BALTIMORE (AP) —
The Baltimore Ravens
fully understand the
ramifications of Sunday’s
regular-season finale
against Cincinnati.
“It pretty much lets us
know if we’re going to be
on the couch next week
or on the field,” Ravens
tackle Brandon Williams said. “Definitely
don’t want to be on the
couch.”
Beat or tie the Bengals
(6-9), and the Ravens
(9-6) end a two-year hiatus from the postseason.
Lose, and Baltimore will
need help (a loss or tie
by either Buffalo or Tennessee) to get in.
So, the plan for the
Ravens is to take care of
business themselves.
“This is the most
important game for us
this season,” tight end
Benjamin Watson said.
“We understand the
urgency of it.”
This could be the final
game for Marvin Lewis
as Cincinnati’s head
coach, now in his 15th
season with the Bengals.
Lewis brushed aside
reports that he’s preparing to move on, insisting
that his future is secondary to guiding Cincinnati
to an upset.
“I’m not going to
reflect if this is my last
game or not,” Lewis
said. “You never know
when the last game is,
so I don’t do any reflection.”
His players aren’t sure
what to expect.
“We don’t have enough
validation as to whether
or not that’s true. It’s all
speculation,” defensive
end Carlos Dunlap said.
“Come the new year, it
may be a new year. But
right now we’re going to
prepare for the Ravens
as if we were playing in
Week One.”
Ah, Week One. This
game is a rematch of the
season opener, when the
Ravens set the tone for
Cincinnati’s season in a
20-0 rout.
coordinator from 19962001.
“I have incredible
memories,” Lewis said.
“Obviously, with the
franchise moving there
in 1996 and the things
that we were able to do.”
Lewis earned a Super
Bowl ring with the 2000
Ravens. He has enjoyed
a good run with Cincinnati, and was asked if his
players might want to
send him out on a high
note.
“I don’t know where

Suspended NC State guard faces felony assault charge
CLEVELAND (AP) — Suspended North Carolina State
guard Markell Johnson is facing
a felony assault charge in his
home state of Ohio.
According to a court document, Johnson was among
four people indicted Dec. 5 in
Cuyahoga County. The document states they “did knowingly cause serious physical
harm” to a male victim on or
about Oct. 8.
Court records show Johnson
has pleaded not guilty and posted $5,000 bond on Dec. 20. The
case was continued Thursday
until the next pretrial hearing
scheduled for Jan. 8, according
to online court records.
Athletic spokesman Fred
Demarest said the school
learned of the indictment Dec.
14 and indefinitely suspended
Johnson that day. N.C. State
announced the suspension two
days later.
At the time, team spokesman
Craig Hammel cited a violation
of the school’s student-athlete
code of conduct but provided
no further details.
According to the school’s
code of conduct, a studentathlete charged with a felony
is indefinitely suspended from
athletics participation, pending the resolution of charges.
Johnson played in the Dec. 9
win against UMKC after the
indictment, though Keatts said
the program “acted appropriately as soon as we found out
about it.”
Bengals
touchdowns and only two
interceptions over the past six
games. Baltimore is 5-1 during
that span.
SHOWING UP: The Bengals gave two uninspired
performances in 33-7 and
34-7 losses to the Bears and
Vikings before rebounding last
week with a 26-17 win over
the Lions.
That seemingly ended the
questions about whether they’d
packed it in during their second straight losing season.
“We’re confident right now
because the last few weeks
had been pretty rough, almost
demoralizing,” safety George
Iloka said. “When you start
losing by 20 points, 30 points,
it’ll do something to you as a
player. But I’m happy how we
responded last week. I’d say
right now, we’re confident.”
SUGGS APPRECIATION:
It’s been a heck of a season for
35-year-old Terrell Suggs, who
has 11 sacks for a Baltimore
team that leads the NFL with
33 takeaways.
“Obviously, there is no
one that has seen Terrell
more than I have, literally,
since his pro day at Arizona
State,” Lewis said. “A physical linebacker, defensive end,
whatever you want to call it.
He just produces year-in and
year-out.”
Williams said: “When you
look at the outside linebacker
position, that’s the first person
you think of. He’s an X-factor.
As long as he’s there, you have
a chance. It’s great to have him.
Hopefully he has many more
years to go.”
LINE SHUFFLE: The Bengals have lost left tackle Cedric Ogbuehi and right tackle
Andre Smith, forcing them
to improvise for the last two
games of the season. Against
the Lions, they moved left
guard Clint Boling to tackle
— he hadn’t played there since
college — and gave secondyear guard Christian Westerman his first NFL start. The
combination worked well, but
it should be tougher against
Suggs and the Ravens.
From page 3B
the Ravens aren’t looking forward to it.
“If anybody tells you that
they don’t think about it, they
are lying,” Watson said. “They
are trying to be the ‘tough
football player.’ We definitely
think about it, but I will tell
you, it is one of those things
where you know what it is
going to be this time of year.”
Ravens quarterback Joe
Flacco said: “I would rather
play in 65 degrees and sunny,
but it is what it is.”

NELSONVILLE, Ohio
— An unfortunate case of
déjà vu.
For the second straight
Friday, the Southern boys
basketball team dropped
a four-point decision after
being tied in the final
minute of the game, this
time falling to non-conference host Nelsonville-York
by a 53-49 count in Athens County.
The Tornadoes (5-4)
— who’ve now been on
the wrong end of three
straight decisions — dug
themselves into a hole in
the opening quarter, trailing 14-2 at the conclusion
of the period.
Southern rebounded
with a 16-to-9 second
quarter run, and Nelsonville-York (4-3) had
its lead cut to 23-18 by
halftime.
SHS knocked two more
points off of its deficit in
the third quarter, outscoring the Buckeyes by a
17-to-15 clip and trimming
the NYHS lead to 38-35
with eight minutes to play.
The Purple and Gold
began the fourth quarter
with a 8-to-3 run and led
43-41 with 5:22 to play.
Nelsonville-York claimed
the next four points, however, and never trailed
again.
Southern tied the game
three times over the
remainder of the game,
with the Buckeyes establishing the lead for good
with just 23 seconds to
play. The Orange and
Brown hit a pair of free
throws after that, capping
off the 53-49 win, their
second straight triumph.
The Tornadoes shot
22-of-54 (40.7 percent)
from the field, including
just 1-of-14 (7.1 percent)
from three-point territory.
The Buckeyes were 22-of48 (45.8 percent) from
the field, including 1-of-7
(14.2 percent) from deep.
Both teams attempted a
dozen free throws, NYHS
making eight (66.7 percent) and SHS sinking
four (33.3 percent).
The hosts won the
rebounding battle by a
44-23 count, while also
earning advantages of
10-to-5 in assists and 4-to2 in blocked shots. Southern picked up an 11-to-8
steals advantage and committed 16 turnovers, 10
fewer than NYHS.
SHS senior Dylan Smith
led the guests with 14
points and a team-best
three steals, while Trey
McNickle was responsible for Southern’s only
triple and finished with 13
points. Brayden Cunningham and Weston Thorla
scored nine points apiece,
with Cunningham grabbing
a team-best nine rebounds.
Coltin Parker and Jensen Anderson rounded
out the Tornado scoring
with two points apiece.
Reece Robson led the
victors with a doubledouble effort of 12 points
and 12 rebounds. Jonathan Richards made the
team’s lone trifecta and
finished with 11 points,
while Ethan Bohyer,
Mikey Seel and Justin
Perry scored seven points
apiece. Brayden Allen
contributed five points to
the winning cause, while
Chris Beyette added four.
These teams won’t meet
again this season, but the
Tornadoes will finish with
a 2-1 record against TriValley Conference Ohio
Division opponents.
Southern gets back to
work in the TVC Hocking
Division on Friday when
it visits Eastern.

Wake Forest tops Texas
A&M in Belk Bowl, 55-52
Alabama, Clemson
complete their
classic trilogy
CHARLOTTE, N.C.
(AP) — Wake Forest
coach Dave Clawson
called it a fitting ending
to senior quarterback
John Wolford’s adversityfilled career — one
where nothing seemed
to come easy.
The four-year starter
who battled through
two difficult sack-filled
3-9 seasons to begin his
career, threw for 400
yards and four touchdowns to help Wake
Forest beat Texas A&M
55-52 in the Belk Bowl
on Friday.
“If you write the
movie script, as soon as
he walks out that door
there’s a girl that falls
in love with him and
he gets married and
lives happily ever after,”
Clawson said. “It’s a storybook ending. You can’t
make this stuff up.”
Clawson said Wolford,
who was named the
game’s Most Valuable
Player, deserves every
accolade he receives
given how he helped
put the Wake Forest
program back on the
map with toughness and
tenacity.
It was Wake Forest’s
second straight bowl
season with a bowl win
and its first eight-win
season since 2008. The
Demon Deacons won
seven games last season.
“Two years ago there
weren’t a lot of big John
Wolford fans,” Clawson
said. “For him to go out
and ignore the critics
and believe in himself is
really a testament to his
character and the type of
person he is.”
For Texas A&M (7-6),
the future now belongs
to Jimbo Fisher , who
will coach next season.

is the 2011 GMAC Bowl
where Marshall and East
Carolina combined for
125 points.
Running back Matt
Colburn ran for 150
yards and provided the
go-ahead score with 2:18
left in the game.
Wake Forest’s defense
stopped the Aggies on
downs on their final
drive to seal the win,
which was no easy
task considering Texas
A&M’s potent offense.
Aggies quarterback
Nick Starkel threw for
a Belk Bowl-record 499
yards and four touchdowns — three of those
to NFL-ready wide
receiver Christian Kirk,
who caught 13 passes
for 189 yards.
But Wolford got the
win.
“Football’s a game
in which you face a lot
of adversity ,” Wolford
said. “I’m not the only
one who’s faced it. This
team has battled for four
years, and to get the win
today in such a great
game, I’m so proud of
them.”
Scotty Washington
had nine catches for 138
yards and a touchdown
for the Demon Deacons,
while tight end Cam
Serigne had nine catches
for 112 yards and a
score. Tabari Hines
added eight receptions
for 58 yards and two
touchdowns.
Clawson said he had
a feeling it would be a
shootout .
“I told our offensive
coordinator before the
game, ‘Go fast. I don’t
know how much it’s
going to take. … Keep
your foot on the gas,’”
Clawson said. “This
game was going to come
down to whoever could
outscore the other team.”
Wake Forest spotted Texas A&M (7-6)
a 14-point first quarter
lead following a pair
of special teams miscues, but rattled off 31
straight points in a span
of 11 minutes, 16 seconds to take a 31-14 lead
in the second quarter.
Texas A&M battled
back to take the lead
late in the third quarter
behind Starkel and Kirk.
“After that first quarter, it felt like an old
Western Athletic Con-
ference shootout,” said
Banks, whose future
with the team remains
uncertain. “We wanted
to stay positive with the
kids and not get down
on them. They were
starting to get down in
the first half. We got
down three scores, and
I was like, ‘guys, there’s
nine minutes left in the
second quarter.’”
TAKEAWAYS: Texas

think strongly about
heading to the NFL
after his 13 receptions
set a Belk Bowl record,
breaking the mark held
by Hakeem Nicks. He

after the game but said
earlier in the week he
would take some time
before making a decision
on whether to return to
Texas A&M.

Alabama-Clemson III.
Already, they’ve
produced a matching
set of classics that rank
among the greatest
national championship games in college
football history. Two
years ago, Alabama won
45-40 in a breakneck
affair that featured 40
points, a successful
onside kick and a kickoff return for a touchdown in the final 10 1-2
minutes . Last season,
Clemson rallied from a
two-touchdown deficit
and the Tide’s go-ahead
TD with just over 2
minutes remaining to
win 35-31 on Deshaun
Watson’s 2-yard scoring
pass to Hunter Renfrow
with a single second
hanging on the clock .
The stakes are a bit
different this time.
Instead of meeting in
the title game, Round
3 falls a week earlier
in the College Football
Playoff semifinals.
Clemson claimed the
top seed despite a loss
to lowly Syracuse back
in mid-October , while
Alabama stirred up the
biggest debate when
it landed the fourth
seed after a setback to
Auburn in its final regular-season game and
failing to even qualify
for the Southeastern
Conference championship .
In the end, it’s hard to
fault the selection committee for bending to
the will of history.

seems right.

NFL changes concussion protocol after Savage incident
“I think we handled it
the way it was supposed
to be handled,” Texans
coach Bill O’Brien said.
“I think just speaking for
us here at the Texans it’s
always about trying to do
the right thing, doing the
right thing by the player,
doing the right thing by
the rules. That’s what we
try to do.”
O’Brien said he was
glad to see that improvements to the protocol
were made in the wake of
Savage’s injury.
“I think there’s a lot
of things that can be
improved,” he said. “I
think anything where you
can help — obviously the
safety of the player in this
game is the most important thing (and) I think
anything like that helps
when you try to improve
that process.”

HOUSTON (AP) —
The NFL and the players’
union announced a series
of changes Friday to the
way potential concussions are handled during
games following an ugly
incident in which Texans
quarterback Tom Savage
was allowed to return to
the field after a hit left
him on the ground, arms
shaking.
Among the changes is
the addition of an expert
watching games from a
central location with the
authority to alert sideline
medical teams to look
into an incident. And
if a player shows signs
of a seizure or similar
responses, as Savage did,
they will be removed
from the game and cannot return.
The NFL has been
under increased scrutiny
the past several years
over player safety when
it comes to head injuries.
A $1 billion settlement of
concussion-related claims
from more than 20,000
former players took effect
earlier this year, resolving
thousands of lawsuits that
accused the NFL of hiding what it knew about
the risks of repeated concussions.
The jarring injury to
Savage prompted a joint
review of concussion
protocol by the NFL and

Cleveland Browns offensive tackle Joe Thomas says Cleveland’s coaching situation will have no
bearing on his decision whether to keep playing. Thomas played in just seven games before tearing
his left triceps on Oct. 22 against Tennessee and undergoing season-ending surgery. Before he
was injured, Thomas, a 10-time Pro Bowler, had not missed a snap in his NFL career, playing 10,363
consecutive offensive snaps. The 33-year-old put off his decision on continuing his career until the

“We are going to basically start going all-in

teams do every year
and give the coaches an
opportunity to improve
on the win-loss record
they have had so far.”
Before he got hurt,
Thomas had played
every snap of his career,
reaching 10,363 consecutive plays — believed
to be a record. While
he has rehabbed his

Of one mind: Mayfield and Riley ascend together at Oklahoma

“The two of them
ascending together
has been really neat to
mWjY^"�\ehc[h�EabW^ecW�
coach Bob Stoops said.
After being doubted so
often, Mayfield found in
Riley a coach who saw
the potential for greatness that in Mayfield the
player always knew was
possible — if only he had
the opportunity to show
_j$�?d�h[jkhd"�H_b[o�\ekdZ�
a quarterback who could
make his creative Xs

in a lot of ways,” Riley
said earlier this week in
southern California. “We
both came in as walk-ons
to this game and kind of
understand that life and
kind of the climb you
have to have.”
That’s where the
similarities end when it
comes to their playing

Maybe the most difficult decision Riley has

Mayfield of his captaincy
and not allow him to start
