Floyd Dale Riffle, 57, had been charged in multiple cases in 2018, most of which were fifth-degree felony charges. On Thursday, Riffle pleaded guilty to the most serious offense against him, the second-degree felony charge of engaging in a pattern of corrupt activity. In pleading guilty to the charge, Judge Linda Warner sentenced Riffle to five years in prison, following the joint recommendation of Prosecutor James K. Stanley and defense attorney Michael Huff. Riffle told Warner that he sold drugs to a confidential informant on three occasions in exchange for money. Stanley stated that the dollar amount exceeded $1,000. Stanley stated, Riffle engaged in a pattern of corrupt activity by trafficking 2.71 grams of heroin, 0.83 grams of fentanyl, and 1.96 grams of methamphetamine on multiple dates within the Village of Middleport, with total sales totaling $1,500. In July 2018, the Major Crimes Task Force of Gallia and Meigs executed a search warrant at Riffle’s Middleport residence following his indictment on 13 Friday, January 11, 2019 s 50¢ New charges filed Ex-corrections officer indicted on four additional felony charges By Sarah Hawley shawley@aimmediamidwest.com POMEROY — Four additional felony charges have been filed in the case against former corrections and probation officer Larry Tucker. An indictment was filed on Wednesday charging two counts of kidnapping, first-degree felonies, along with fourth-degree felony charges of gross sexual imposition and attempted sexual battery. Tucker, 56, of Pomeroy, was previously indicted on 28 charges for crimes against 11 alleged victims. Charges include: six counts of Sexual Battery, third-degree felonies; six counts of Kidnapping, first-degree felonies; five counts of Gross Sexual Imposition, fourth-degree felonies; five counts of Attempted Sexual Battery, fourthdegree felonies; four counts of Attempted Compelling Prostitution, fourth-degree felonies; one count of Theft in Office, a fifth-degree felony; one count of Soliciting, a third-degree misdemeanor. The new indictment appears to be with regard to one victim who was not among the initial 11. According to the new indictment, the alleged crimes occurred between Jan. 1, 2012 and Oct. 31, 2013. The kidnapping charges carry specifications that Tucker allegedly committed the offenses for sexual motivation and that he is a sexually violent predator. The attempted sexual battery charge states that the offense occurred while the victim was in custody and Tucker had supervisory or disciplinary authority over her. The new charges come two weeks after Judge Linton Lewis, who is assigned to the case, granted a motion to See CHARGES | 3 Paying tribute to ‘coach’ See PRISON | 3 Meigs County man arrested on warrant out of Indiana Staff Report RUTLAND — A Meigs County man has been arrested on a warrant out of Indiana following a search of a Rutland Twp. residence.

Yet another Wagner faces pre-trial hearing By Tom Corrigan tcorrigan@aimmediamidwest.com For the second time this week, another member of the Wagner family directly charged with the murders of eight members of the Rhoden family in April 2016, faced Pike County Court of Common Pleas Judge Randy Deering. Charged with 22 counts, most notably including eight counts of aggravated murder each carrying with it death penalty specifications, George Wagner IV was in Deering’s court briefly Wednesday afternoon. As happened in previous pretrials in the Rhoden case, much of the action seem to take place behind closed doors, presumably as prosecutor’s and court-appointed defense attorneys discussed movement regarding discovery and closely related but so-called bill of particulars. Discovery and bills of particular are both attempts by defense attorneys to gain as Tom Corrigan, Portsmouth Daily Times George Wagner IV enters Deering’s courtroom in November for his initial arraignment. He pleaded not guilty on all counts against him. much information from prosecutors as possible prior to going to trial. Unlike his mother, Angela Wagner, who appeared in court Mon- day in jail garb, George Wagner was dressed in street clothes Wednesday afternoon, presumably with Deering’s permission. Wagner was still wearing handcuffs. Deering previously gave permission for George Wagner’s younger brother Jacob Wagner to also appear in court in street clothes. Angela Wagner’s attorneys have now made the same request of the judge. George Wagner’s Portsmouth-based attorney Rick Nash had filed only one pretrial motion on behalf of his client as of early this week according to court records. Nash had requested funds to pay for expert opinions. Ohio law specifically demands courts fund experts “reasonably necessary” in the course of capital trials. In this instance, Deering approved allowing those requests to be made “ex parte,” that is not in the presence of prosecutors. Pike County Prosecutor Rob Junk did not object to that request.

National Stalking Awareness Month POMEROY — January is National Stalking Awareness Month. A news release from the Meigs County Victim Assistance Program states, “It is critical to raise issue of stalking as its own form of gender-based violence as well as a crime that frequently predicts and co-occurs with physical and sexual assault. Stalking impacts over 1 in 6 women and 1 in 17 men in the United States — yet, despite the prevalence and impacts, many victims and some criminal justice professionals underestimate its danger and urgency.” The following is a list of cases that were reported to Law Enforcement in 2018: * Stalking: * Harassment: * Telecommunications Harassment: * Menacing: * Stalking Civil Protection Orders filed: * Violations of Protection Orders: Stalking is defined as a pattern of behavior directed at a specific person that causes fear. Many stalking victims experience being followed, approached, monitored and/or threatened—including through various forms of technology. Victims and survivors often suffer anxiety, social dysfunction and severe depression as a result of their victimization and may lose time from work or school and/or move. Stalking is a terrifying and psychologically harmful crime in its own right as well as a predictor of potentially lethal violence: in 85% of cases where an intimate partner (i.e., boyfriend or husband) attempted to murder his female partner, stalking preceded that attack. Stalking is a crime in all 50 states, the U.S. Territories and the District of Columbia, but can be difficult to recognize and prosecute in a system designed to respond to singular incidents rather than the series of acts that constitutes stalking. National Stalking Awareness Month’s theme – “Stalking: Know It. Name It. Stop It.” – Is a call to action for everyone in Meigs County and across the United States. While police and victim serving professionals are critical, the reality is that the vast majority of victims tell friends or family about the stalking first. “We all have a role to play in identifying stalking, intervening when necessary and supporting victims and survivors,” states the release.

During last year’s muzzleloader season, 13,268 white-tailed deer were checked. Hunters still have opportunities to pursue deer this winter, as archery season remains open through Sunday, Feb. 3. In Meigs County, 338 deer were harvested, up from 310 last year. In Gallia County, 203 deer were harvested, up from 176 last year. The ODNR Division of Wildlife remains committed to properly managing Ohio’s deer populations. The goal of Ohio’s Deer Management Program is to provide a deer population that maximizes recreational opportunities, while minimizing conflicts with landowners and motorists. Hunting Popularity Ohio ranks fifth nationally in resident hunters and 11th in the number of jobs associated with hunting-related industries. Hunting has a more than $853 million economic impact in Ohio through the sale of equipment, fuel, food, lodging and more, according to the National Shooting Sports Foundation’s Hunting in America: An Economic Force for Conservation publication.

During George Wagner’s arraignment in late November, Nash became the only defense attorney to so far ask for bail for any of the suspects directly charged with the Rhoden murders. Deering quickly denied that request. On Wednesday, George Wagner was returned to jail following his pretrial hearing though he will be back in court in March. The Rhoden case continues before Deering Thursday when George Wagner’s grandmothers Fredericka Wagner and Rita Newcomb will both be in court for their first pretrial hearings. Though not directly charged within the murders, both Newcomb and Fredericka Wagner face multiple counts, including felony charges of obstructing justice and perjury. The latter charges stem from false testimony the pair allegedly presented in July to a Pike County grand jury investigating the Rhoden murders. Newcomb also faces forgery charges. The two grandmothers are the only suspects in the Rhoden case to have been released on bail, though each was placed on electronically monitored house arrest and barred from any contact with the family of the victims. Following the appearance of the two grandmothers, the next Rhoden suspect to appear in court is scheduled to be family patriarch George “Billy” Washington Wagner III, who should be in front of Deering Jan. 17. Again, honoring a gag order imposed by Deering on everyone connected with the case, neither the prosecution or defense teams had any comment following Wednesday’s brief hearing.

At the border, Trump moves closer to emergency declaration By Catherine Lucey, Lisa Mascaro and Zeke Miller Associated Press MCALLEN, Texas — Taking the shutdown fight to the Mexican border, President Donald Trump edged closer Thursday to declaring a national emergency in an extraordinary end run around Congress to fund his long-promised border wall. Pressure was mounting to find an escape hatch from the three-week impasse that has closed parts of the government, cutting scattered services and leaving hundreds of thousands of workers without pay. Trump, visiting McAllen, Texas, and the Rio Grande to highlight what he says is a crisis of drugs and crime, said that “if for any reason we don’t get this going” — an agreement with House Democrats who have refused to approve the $5.7 billion he demands for the wall — “I will declare a national emergency.” Some 800,000 workers, more than half of them still on the job, were to miss their first paycheck on Friday under the stoppage, and Washington was close to setting a dubious MEIGS CALENDAR OF EVENTS Editor’s Note: The Daily Sentinel appreciates your input to the community calendar.

Those markers — along with growing effects to national parks, food inspections and the economy overall — left some Republicans on Capitol Hill increasingly uncomfortable with Trump’s demands. Asked about the plight of those going without pay, the president shifted the focus, saying he felt badly “for people that have family members that have been killed” by criminals who came over the border. Trump was consulting with White House attorneys and allies about using presidential emergency powers to take unilateral action to construct the wall over the objections of Congress. He claimed his lawyers told him the action would withstand legal scrutiny “100 percent.” Such a move to bypass Congress’ constitutional control of the nation’s purse strings would spark certain legal challenges and bipartisan cries of executive overreach. A congressional official said the White House has directed the Army Corps of Engineers to look for billions of dollars earmarked last year for disaster response for Puerto Rico and other areas that could be diverted to a border wall as part of the emergency declaration. The official spoke on the condition of anonymity because the official was not authorized to speak publicly.

Faith is a vital part of what it means to be a Christian, alongside Hope and Love (1 Corinthians 13:13), and it is Faith, acting as Search the a synecdoche (a figure of speech in which a part Scriptures represents a whole), which Jonathan summarizes what God McAnulty wants from man. Thus the Lord proclaims, “The Righteous man lives by faith.” (Habakkuk 2:4; Romans 1:17). Likewise, the Scriptures say concerning the Christian life, “We walk by faith, not by sight.” (2 Corinthians 5:7) It is quite literally impossible to be a true Christian apart from Faith. Yet central as Faith should be to a Christian’s life, it is a philosophy often honored in word more than in deed. While most claim to have faith, far fewer actually live by faith. Many do not even understand what Faith is, where it comes from, or how true faith should affect them. Biblical Faith is neither blind trust nor is it a mere mental assent to truth. Many claim, quite mistakenly, that faith is believing without reason to believe. But the Faith that God wants is quite grounded in sound reasoning, truth, and a preponderance of the evidence. Consider the words of John as he closes out His gospel. He says concerning the works of Christ he records for us: “these are written so that you may believe.” (John 20:31). That is, John was presenting evidence in order to build faith. Likewise, the apostle Paul tells us “Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” (Romans 10:17). God offers reasons, in His words to men, about why they should believe, and also tells them what it is they should believe in. In the book of Hebrews, the Bible has quite a bit to say about Faith, including offering a definition of Faith, which helps us to understand it as something more than an ephemeral dream. “Faith” we are told, “is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen.” (Hebrews 11:1; NKJV) The words translated as “substance” can also be translated as “assurance” or “confirmation.” The word translated as “evidence” likewise denotes “conviction,” “assurance” and “proof.” In other words, Faith is grounded in a solid reality, at the heart of which is the truthfulness of God’s message, backed as it is with many proofs of genuineness and accuracy. Likewise, many assume that as long as they agree with the right propositions, their faith is sufficient to be pleasing to God. James, the brother of the Lord, very poignantly reminded his readers that when it comes to such thinking, even the demons and unclean spirits believe, and they tremble. (cf. James 2:19) But that does not mean they are in a right relationship with God. Jesus spoke to Jews who believed in Him, and told them that they were if their father the devil, because their actions were of a devilish nature. (cf. John 8:31-47) If they truly wanted spiritual freedom, they needed to do more than just assent to the identity of Jesus. Jesus told them that they needed to “abide” in His words. (John 8:31) When God spoke of the righteous man, God characterized that man not as a mere believer, but as one who lived his faith. When Paul says, “we walk by faith,” the word “walk” denotes a manner of life lived on a path of obedience. The faith, spoken of in Hebrews 11, by which our spiritual ancestors obtained a good report from God, was a faith that believed and then acted. It was the faith of Abraham, who, when told to go, obeyed and went (Hebrews 11:8). It was the faith of Noah, who, when told to build an ark, was moved to build that ark (Hebrews 11:7). It was the faith of Moses, who, when told to lead, got up and led the people of God from Egypt (cf. Hebrews 11:23-28). A man cannot say to live by faith if he never actually does anything that his faith tells him he needs to be doing. More than assent, God wants action and obedience. Otherwise, as God also tells us, “Faith without works is dead.” (James 2:17, 26) As we begin the new year, lets resolve to have a living, vibrant faith. One that will be fully pleasing to God. The church of Christ invites you to put your faith into action and come worship and study with us at 234 Chapel Drive, Gallipolis, Ohio. Likewise, if you have any question you would like answered or addressed, please share them with us. Jonathan McAnulty is minister of Chapel Hill Church of Christ.

The Bible says, “For all have uge and underneath are the everlasting arms.” Our God is strong-armed. Several times in Scripture it is said that the Lord delivered by His strong right arm. I have long imaged God as having big arms. Recently, while exercising at the Body Barn in Mason, I saw a certain young man wearing a shirt with the words, “How do you like these guns?” The words were in reference to his arms, for his were large and muscular. Perhaps the most sought after physical feature by those who lift weights is to have those big guns and to be strong-armed. Our God is strong-armed for a definite purpose. It does not matter how heavy our burden is, His strong arms are capable of handling our load. How goes the long-time illustration? When we saw but one set of footprints in the sand, “it is then, my child, that I picked you up and carried you.” We can depend upon those strong, everlasting arms to bear our heavy burdens. We can depend upon those strong, everlasting arms to carry us through when our spiritual legs give out of strength from beneath us. The arms of God—-what a consideration. This is why Deuteronomy 33:27(a) means so much to me, and why it was such a thoughtful gift from this boy of mine. Pastor Ron Branch lives in Mason County and is pastor of Hope Baptist Church, Middleport, Ohio. A time of new beginnings This is an exciting time. It is the beginning of a brand new year - 2019. Some people like to make New Year’s resolutions or promises to themselves about what they plan to accomplish in the New Year. The number one resolution that people make is, “I am going to lose weight.” I don’t think too God’s Kids many people succeed since seems to be the number Korner it one resolution year after Pastor Ann year. I know that it usuMoody ally makes my top ten list of things I would like to accomplish in the New Year, but I still weigh about the same! Even if you don’t make any New Year’s resolutions, this is still an exciting time. It is a time that we can forget our past mistakes and look forward to new opportunities that lie ahead of us. It is a time of new beginnings. Jesus experienced times of new beginnings in his life too. One of those times was when He was baptized. (Luke 3: 21-22) Jesus was baptized by John the Baptizer that we talked about a few weeks ago in the Jordan River. There were a couple of very important things that happened when Jesus was baptized. First of all, the Bible tells us that the heavens opened, and the Holy Spirit came down in the form of a dove and landed upon Him. The second thing was that God spoke and said, “You are My Son. I love You, and I am well-pleased with You.” This event marked the beginning of Jesus’ ministry here on earth. Up until that time, He had not performed any miracles, but with God’s stamp of approval and with the spirit of God upon Him now, Jesus began to perform great miracles. From this new beginning, many people began to understand that Jesus was truly the Son of God, and they began to follow Him. Our own baptism represents a new beginning for us, as well. When we are baptized, it shows the world that just as Jesus raised from the dead through the glory of God the Father, we also live a new life in Him. (Romans 6:4) God may not always be well-pleased with some of the things we do, but I think that He looks down with an approving smile when He sees us trying to walk with Jesus. New beginnings — God gives us opportunities for new beginnings every year and every day. Let us make the most of them as we live a new life in Christ through the power of His Holy Spirit. Let’s say a prayer together. Dear Father, thank You for new beginnings. Help us to make the most of them — not through our own strength — but through the power of the Holy Spirit that dwells within us. In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.

Freddie Kitchens was already in the building. The 44-year-old Kitchens, who had a dazzling eight-week run as interim offensive coordinator, is finalizing a contract to become Cleveland’s ninth coach since the franchise’s 1999 rebirth, a person familiar with the decision told The Associated Press. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the team is not commenting on the imminent hire. As of late Wednesday night, the Browns still had not officially announced Kitchens as their coach. However, there are no obstacles blocking his hiring and he’s expected to be introduced at a press conference on Thursday. The Browns selected Kitchens over six other candidates, including Gregg Williams, who went 5-3 as Cleveland’s interim coach but is not being retained. The first candidate to interview for the coaching vacancy, Williams, who served as the team’s defensive coordinator, issued a statement thanking Browns fans for their support. “I want to personally reach out to all the Cleveland Browns fans and the people of Cleveland to say thank you for your support,” William said. “It has been an honor to coach this team and we loved living in this community with the finest, most passionate fans in the world. I am proud that we were able to help get the Browns back to the winning tradition the fans deserve. “I am humbled to have worked for such a storied franchise and will always love the city of Cleveland, this city deserves a winner! Please continue to support this team and the incredible group of men. I wish you all the very best and always remember #Comegetsome!” Kitchens has no previous head coaching experience, but his work with Cleveland’s offense — most notably quarterback Baker Mayfield — in See KITCHENS | 7 OVP SPORTS SCHEDULE Friday, Jan. 11 Boys Basketball Meigs at River Valley, 6 p.m. Hannan at Point Pleasant, 7:30 Fairland at Gallia Academy, 6 p.m. Trimble at Eastern, 6 p.m. Covenant at Ohio Valley Christian, 7:30 South Gallia at Waterford, 6 p.m. Southern at Miller, 6 p.m. Wahama at Belpre, 6 p.m. Girls Basketball Covenant at Ohio Valley Christian, 7:30 Saturday, Jan. 12 Boys Basketball Point Pleasant at River Valley, 6 p.m. Wood County Christian at Hannan, 2 p.m. Ohio Valley Christian at North Pleasants, 5:30 Girls Basketball Williamstown at Eastern, 6 p.m. Ohio Valley Christian at North Pleasants, 4 p.m. Wrestling Eastern, Meigs at Alexander, 10 a.m. Point Pleasant at Fandetti-Richardson Brawl, TBA Wahama at St. Mary’s, TBA Swimming River Valley home meet, 10:30 Rio Grande Athletics Bowling at Buckeye Baker Classic, 11 a.m. Indoor Track and Field at Otterbein INV, 11 a.m. Bryan Walters|OVP Sports South Gallia senior Jessica Luther, seated right, will be continuing both her cross country and track and field careers after signing with Kentucky Christian University on Tuesday, Jan. 8, 2019, inside the SGHS library in Mercerville, Ohio.

Current KCU cross country and track coach Chuck Wentz — a former standout at Fairland High School — has been tasked with starting an indoor track program while also expanding expectations in the outdoor track and cross country programs. As the Knights also head into a new league — the Appalachian Athletic Conference — Wentz believes that Luther has all of the characteristics needed to be successful in the school’s upcoming push for accelerated growth. “She’s already had some challenges in her life and the fact that she’s already back out here competing and wanting to lead, I think it speaks volumes of her character and commitment,” Wentz said. “She’s a leader and that’s the type of athlete we at Kentucky Christian are looking for as we try to grow our programs. She’s someone that we feel comfortable with in being a cornerstone for what we want to do over the next four years. “It’s a good area for runners, but sometimes you have to dig a little bit to find them. It’s a good day for us at KCU to add Jessica, but it’s also a good day for South Gallia. It proves that hard work pays off no matter where you are from, and we are excited to have her.” Luther holds numerous records in both cross country and track and field, but SGHS coach Marcus Meyers says it’s her presence that makes the most difference in any given season. “As far as studentathletes go, Jessica is the best of the best. She’s dedicated to the sport and the school and her studies. Between her efforts and what she has overcome, she’s been the heart and soul of the cross country and track teams during her time here,” Meyers said. “She’s a hard worker with great work ethic and she tries to make people around her better. She’s going to do good things over the next four years at Kentucky Christian.” Located in Grayson, Kentucky Christian is a NAIA-affiliated program that also competes as a member of the National Christian College Athletic Association. KCU is a private four-year undergraduate school that has roughly 500 students on campus every year. When asked about what drew her to sign on with KCU, Luther noted the campus was very similar See RUNNING | 7 �SPORTS/CLASSIFIEDS Daily Sentinel SPORTS BRIEFS Wildcats From page 6 Brayden Cunningham marked six points and six rebounds.

SCOTT POWELL, JUDGE, COMMON PLEAS COURT, PROBATE DIVISION,MEIGS COUNTY, OHIO 1/11/19 Kitchens From page 6 the season’s second half vaulted him ahead of the other six candidates interviewed by the Browns, who were looking for the right coach to lead them following a stunning turnaround season. Kitchens will get the chance. Under his leadership, Mayfield, the No. 1 overall pick in last year’s draft, threw 19 of his NFL rookie record 27 touchdown passes while erasing any doubt that he could be the coveted franchise quarterback that has eluded the Browns for decades. Kitchens and Mayfield formed a strong relationship during their time together, and Browns owners Dee and Jimmy Haslam along with general manager John Dorsey are counting on the pair taking Cleveland to new heights. It’s a spectacular rise for Kitchens, who began the season as the team’s running backs coach. He took over the Browns offense when coordinator Todd Haley was fired an hour after coach Hue Jackson’s dismissal on Oct. 29 and Kitchens quickly showed he had coaching chops. He revamped the offensive scheme, using multiple formations and tweaking the game plan to include calls that he knew (304) 675-1333 or fax to (304) 675-5234 REAL ESTATE FOR RENT AUTOS Apartments/Townhouses Apartments/Townhouses Auto Classic/Antiques � %HGURRP DSW � PL IURP +RO]HU ��������� PRQWK SOXV GHSRVLW ������������ RU ������������ Wanted: Information and/or Location of a Model A Ford Coupe built in the 50's or early 60's by Raymond and Leonard Fields from New Haven WV.

Kitchens, who was a three-year starting quarterback at Alabama, wasn’t afraid to be creative as he used wide receiver Jarvis Landry on running plays and to throw passes, and he got major production from rookie running back Nick Chubb, left tackle Greg Robinson and receiver Breshad Perriman — three players under-utilized by Jackson and Haley. Kitchens and Williams kept their players focused and motivated following the mid-season coaching change and the Browns went 7-8-1 following an 0-16 season in 2017 under Jackson. As the team’s success grew, Kitchens never campaigned to be Cleveland’s coach but leading a team was always a goal. “Definitely. No doubt,” he said. “I heard the other day somebody say something about I wasn’t ready to be a head coach. I mean, who the hell’s ready to be a head coach? You have a resume that you check off the list and everything?” The barrel-chested Kitchens became a fan favorite in a city that loves underdogs. “I like it here and I like it here a lot, and everybody around here knows that I like it here,” Kitchens said last month. “I love the town of Cleveland.

After six games, it had allowed an average of 30 points, had given up 37 or more points in three consecutive losses, was languishing near the bottom of the league’s overall rankings and showed no sign of a turnaround. Today, those performances are almost recognizable. Though the names remain essentially unchanged, the Colts overcame that dismal start and have emerged as one of the NFL’s stingiest units and a key cog in Indy’s playoff run. “We feel good, we’ve been rolling,” rookie linebacker Darius Leonard said. “We just want to keep it going. We want to keep everything rolling.” Leonard and his teammates face their biggest challenge yet in Saturday’s divisional-round game at Kansas City. But the timing couldn’t be better for a young, suddenly sturdy defense that still has plenty to prove. Over the past six weeks, the Colts have given up 12.0 points per game, posted their first shutout in four years and ascended to No. 11 in the rankings. But many wonder whether the defense can hold up against the league’s highestscoring team. So far, Indy (11-6) has passed every test. The defense has played a vital role in two five-game winning streaks. Indy is one of two teams that have not allowed a 100-yard rusher this season and have had at least one turnover in 16 of 17 games. Outsiders have noticed the turnaround by a unit once regarded as a weak link. “I think the players have bought in and they play hard,” Coach group wants ejection ruled out on some targeting hits THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. (AP) — Todd Gurley roots for running backs when he watches football. A playoff duel between arguably the two best ball-carriers in the NFL would be irresistible to him as a fan. Gurley won’t be watching the Los Angeles Rams’ playoff game against the Dallas Cowboys from his couch, however. He’ll be in the Coliseum on Saturday night to go up against Ezekiel Elliott in a tantalizing matchup that should play a large role in deciding which team moves on to the NFC championship game. “It’s not really about us,” Gurley said Wednesday night. “It’s a team game. Obviously, we’ve got to hype it up, Zeke versus Gurley, but it’ll be a good game. He’s a great back, and I guess I’m not too bad myself.” The good feelings are mutual between these elite running backs when the Cowboys (11-6) visit the Rams (13-3). Gurley and Elliott are friends who realize they have a remarkably similar style of play, adding an extra bit of intrigue to an already compelling matchup. “He’s a big, fast back,” Elliott said about Gurley. “He can run The Associated Press Nick Foles is proving to be Mr. Clutch PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Just call him Nicky Numbers. Nick Foles is a backup quarterback in Philadelphia but he’s one of the most clutch postseason players in NFL history and his stats prove it. Foles has won four straight playoff games, leading the Eagles on game-winning drives in the fourth quarter in the Super Bowl last February and in a 16-15 victory at Chicago in a wild-card game last week. He has the best passer rating (105.2) and highest completion percentage (69.8 percent) of any quarterback in postseason history with at least 150 attempts. Foles is 125 of 179 for 1,432 yards, 10 touchdowns and three interceptions. Two of those picks came against the Bears when Foles played with injured ribs and seemed to have trouble following through on his passes. Still, he tossed a 2-yard TD pass to Golden Tate on fourth down with 56 seconds remaining. Foles also has the best passer rating (146.5) on third and fourth downs in postseason history, completing 40 of 52 passes for 522 yards and six touchdowns with no interceptions in five career playoff games. And, he has a TD reception on the “Philly Special” play against the Patriots. Here’s a look inside more numbers heading into the divisional round of the playoffs: SIX SEED MAGIC: The Eagles and the Colts are trying to become only the third No. 6 seed to win a Super Bowl, joining the 2005 Steelers and 2010 Packers. Only three others advanced to the conference title game: the 2008 Eagles, 2008 Ravens and 2010 Jets. CHASING PITTSBURGH: The Cowboys have 35 postseason victories and the Patriots have 34. The Steelers are first with 36 wins and also first with six Super Bowl titles. Dallas and New England each has five. GUNSLINGERS: Patrick Mahomes, who led the NFL with 50 touchdown passes, and Andrew Luck, who was second with 39, have the most combined regular-season TD passes (89) among any opposing quarterbacks in a playoff game in the Super Bowl era. The Colts visit the Chiefs on Saturday. “When you keep doing the same things over and over again and you get good at the fundamentals of the game, then you can start adding a little bit to your package because the guys understand the basics,” Eberflus said. “You can never move on or never forget the basics of what your system is about. That to me is the hustle, the intensity, taking the ball away and being smart players.” Eberflus, initially hired by Josh McDaniels and retained by Frank Reich after McDaniels backed out of the job, scrapped the 3-4 defensive front from previous coaching staff and installed the Tampa-2 preferred by general manager Chris Ballard. Reich was on board, too, remembering how the system helped the Colts win a Super Bowl during his first stint with the team. The scheme relies largely on speed and trust and was a perfect fit for a team trying to rebuild. Only three full-time starters returned in the same spot this season while a fourth, Jabaal Sheard, moved from outside linebacker to defensive end, but the simplicity shortened the learning curve for everyone, including the youngsters. And after six games, things started to mesh. Leonard became the breakout star, the pass rush became more consistent and the run defense tightened up. “We go into this game knowing that we can beat the best,” Leonard said. “Once you go in as an underdog, there’s a lot more chips on your shoulder. It makes you want to play harder. It makes you want to win more.” Gurley meets Elliott in big-time showcase By Eric Olson 15-yard penalty, meaning there was no malicious intent on the hit.

Chiefs coach Andy Reid said. “They’re accurate with their assignments.” Reid isn’t alone. Leonard, the league’s leading tackler, was named first-team All-Pro last week, and first-year defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus interviewed Sunday for the Cleveland Browns’ head coaching job. Though he wasn’t hired, the dramatic ascension could help Eberflus stay on the coaching radar. What’s changed? Not much personnel-wise from opening day. Defensive tackle Al Woods and linebacker Skai Moore both wound up on injured reserve. Margus Hunt moved from defensive end to defensive tackle and Pierre Desir claimed one of the starting cornerback spots. Otherwise, the lineup remained as consistent as Eberflus’ message. inside. He can run outside. He can run through you, jump over you, around you, make you miss. He’s a great asset out of the backfield. Just a guy who has a well-rounded game and really doesn’t have any weaknesses.” Indeed, no backs in the league exemplify the current ideal combination of power, speed and versatility better than Gurley or Elliott, who have established themselves as destroyers of defenses behind two of the league’s best offensive lines. Gurley and Elliott are dangerous as ball-carriers and as passcatchers. They’re the centerpieces of their respective offenses, with Elliott’s 381 touches leading the NFL and Gurley ranking fourth with 315 touches after sitting out the Rams’ past two games with a knee injury that appears to be healing well. Although they’ve played only seven combined NFL seasons, they’ve already compiled individual accolades to back up their stature. Elliott won the NFL rushing title last month for the second time, while Gurley led the league in touchdowns and finished third in the rushing race this season after winning the NFL’s Offensive Player of the Year award last season. “He has everything you want in a running back,” Cowboys coach Jason Garrett said of Gurley. “He’s quick, he’s fast, he’s explosive, he’s strong, has great instincts for the game, great feel for the game, outstanding vision. He can beat you with speed. He can beat you with power. He can beat you cutting back. He can beat you when they hand him the ball. He can beat you when they throw him the ball. He’s great running after the catch. He plays with a competitive spirit. He’s just a fantastic player.” Garrett then realized he knows another back with very similar qualities. “In some ways, I probably did describe Ezekiel Elliott,” he said. “Both big-time players who can do everything you want them to do on the field and embrace carrying the burden for their team.” Their skills aren’t limited to taking handoffs, either. Elliott was also the Cowboys’ leading receiver this season with 77 catches for 567 yards. He has touched the ball at least 20 times in each of his past nine games.

(AP) — Barry Brown had repeatedly driven down the right side of the lane for buckets, or at the very least a foul, helping Kansas State slowly emerge from a 21-point secondhalf hole against West Virginia. So with the game on the line in the final minute, was there any question what he would do? Brown hesitated at the top of the key, took a couple dribbles to his right and got an off-balance leaner over the Mountaineers’ Derek Culver to go with 28.9 seconds left Wednesday night, giving Brown 29 points for the game and the Wildcats a wild 71-69 victory. “We tried everybody on him. It wasn’t like he did it against one particular guy,” Mountaineers coach Bob Huggins said later. “The puzzling thing for me, he has it on the right side. He’s right-handed. He’s a very heavy righthanded finisher, and we continued to let him drive it to the right.” Brown didn’t engineer the biggest comeback in school history alone. Mike McGuirl added 18 points and Kamau Stokes, dealing with a lingering foot injury, had 12 as the Wildcats (11-4, 1-2 Big 12) beat the Mountaineers for only the second time in their last 11 meetings. “I wouldn’t say we were struggling the first half to score. We got open shots. We just were missing them,” Brown said. “It was just a matter of putting the ball in the basket, and in the second half we were able to stay confident and we began to 8 AM WEATHER 2 PM 19° 31° Temperature The AccuWeather.com Asthma Index combines the effects of current air quality, pollen counts, wind, temperature, dew point, barometric pressure, and changes from past weather conditions to provide a scale showing the overall probability and severity of an asthma attack.

Rutgers won 64-61. SPORTS BRIEFS 36° 32° Statistics through 3 p.m. yesterday 26°/22° 42°/25° 68° in 2018 -9° in 1982 PISCATAWAY, N.J. (AP) — Rutgers may not be the doormat of the Big Ten Conference anymore. Montez Mathis hit two contested layups and Geo Baker nailed a jumper with 10.3 seconds to play as the scrappy Scarlet Knights posted their biggest conference win under coach Steve Pikiell, a 64-61 decision over No. 16 Ohio State on Wednesday. “This is a big win for us, a building block win for us,” freshman guard Ron Harper Jr. said. “Until today we hadn’t beaten a Big Ten team and today we beat a ranked Big Ten team. So this is a building win for us and expect the Scarlet Knights to be taking steps forward from now on. We don’t look to turn back from this.” The win was the Scarlet Knights’ first against a ranked Big Ten team since an upset of No. 4 Wisconsin in January 2015 under then-coach Eddie Jordan. Their last win against any ranked team was last year when they beat No. 15 Seton Hall at home. This was a gutsy win, too. Rutgers (8-6, 1-3) blew a 10-point second-half lead, fell behind by three and scored the final six points to hand the Buckeyes (123, 2-2) their second straight loss. They also did it with leading scorer Eugene Omoruyi sidelined 8 PM ALMANAC High/low Normal high/low Record high Record low First major win for Pikiell knock down shots.” West Virginia (8-7, 0-3) led 42-21 early in the second half before Kansas State used a 17-0 run to get back in the game. Still, the Mountaineers had a shot to win in the final seconds, but Culver’s off-balance shot in the lane missed wide and the Wildcats secured the rebound. Xavier Sneed added a foul shot and West Virginia couldn’t get off a half-court heave. Lamont West finished with 21 points and Culver had 17 for the Mountaineers, who have never lost their first three Big 12 games. In fact, they’ve won at least 11 each of the past four seasons. “We had as good of shots as they did,” Huggins said. “We just didn’t make them.” Many fans showed up to Bramlage Coliseum to see the Big 12’s two worst offenses wondering whether the first team to 50 would win, and for a while it looked as if 40 might do it. Kansas State’s only field goal over the first 11-plus minutes came on a goaltending call, and at one point the Wildcats went more than seven minutes without a point. It wasn’t until Stokes hit a jumper just before the final media timeout that they scored from more than 3 feet out. Not that West Virginia was lighting things up. The Mountaineers were 6 of 14 from beyond the arc in the first half, and a series of turnovers and sloppy execution allowed the Wildcats — down 20-3 at one point — to stay within 36-21 at halftime.
