Dean Wright | OVP Matthew Preston listens to his sentence of eight years in a state facility with a lifetime driver’s license suspension, Monday. Preston was charged with vehicular homicide in connection with the August 2018 death of Gallipolis resident, Robert Baxter. Preston had tested positive for nine different drugs in his system said Ohio State Highway Patrol officials, three of which were cited as being in high enough measurements to cause his impairment. Preston sentenced in vehicular homicide By Dean Wright deanwright@aimmediamidwest. com GALLIPOLIS — In what has been described as part of a growing trend in narcotic-related OVI crimes, a Crown City man was sentenced, Monday, to eight years in a state facility with a lifetime license suspension for the second-degree felony of vehicular homicide which ultimately resulted in the death of Gallipolis resident, Robert Baxter, 66. “On August 15, 2018, my world collapsed,” said Kathy Baxter, Robert’s sister-in-law, as she read a statement written by Robert’s daughter, Caroline Baxter, during 38-year-old Matthew Preston’s sentencing in the Gallia Court of Common Pleas. “I don’t think I’ve been able to breathe right ever since. Our home feels empty without him…I’ve watched my mom suffer and it hurts even more. I’ve seen my grandparents grieve, which no parent should have to do for their child…I’m heartbroken. I’ll never get to have a father-daughter dance at my wedding. I would give anything so that my future children could meet him.” Several statements followed from family members, one saying that a “ﬁve-gallon bucket could not hold all the tears” that had been shed since Robert’s death. “No punishment will ever make our lives whole again or bring Bobby back to us, but we ask the court impose the maximum sentence allowed by law,” read Kathy from a statement written by Robert’s wife, Patricia Baxter. “We hope that during this time Mr. Preston will take full advantage of every opportunity to get himself and his life straightened up and become a productive member of society… Memories are all I have left of the life I once knew because of your choice (to Preston) to drive that August afternoon. I lost my husband, my best friend of 45 years and the love of my life.” Gallipolis Municipal complaint records say that Preston “was traveling westbound on State Route 588 in the area of milepost 6 (Aug. 15, 2018, afternoon of Gallia County). At this location, Preston struck Robert Baxter (Jr.) as Baxter was traveling on a motorcycle eastbound on State Route 588. At the time of the collision, Preston was traveling in the eastbound lane of State Route 588 while attempting to pass a truck on a double yellow line…Due to the impact of the collision, Robert Baxter suffered fatal injuries. (Troopers) were on scene and while conversing with Preston observed signs of obvious impairment. At the request of (the trooper), Preston performed standard ﬁeld sobriety testing and was determined to be impaired. (Troopers) arrested Preston for OVI.” The collision happened at roughly 12:37 p.m. According to case information, Preston reportedly had nine different chemical substances in his body at the time of the collision. Ohio State Highway Patrol ofﬁcials say that three of those substances were in high enough measurements in Preston’s system to cause his impairment while driving. The highest three were heroin, amphetamine and methamphetamine. The others included codeine, morphine, fentanyl, norfentanyl, clonazepam and amino-clonazepam. Law enforcement says drugs are commonly cut with others, so the smaller amounts might have been part of a consumed mixture. Preston had two previous encounters with law enforcement within a 48-hour period, starting Tuesday, August 14, 2018. One encounter was reported to occur at a Rio Grande business at roughly 3:14 p.m. where he was discovered unresponsive with keys in the ignition of a running vehicle. He was reportedly revived with ﬁve doses of Narcan. The second was reported at a business on Jackson Pike with Preston at approximately 11:39 p.m., the same Tuesday evening. He was arrested for OVI, after going through a ﬁeld sobriety test, taken back to the Ohio State Highway Patrol post and processed for the reported incident. Preston was released into the care of an individual who had the situation explained to him, that Preston was still impaired, and who signed a release form to take Preston into their custody and care. Preston was released around 1:30 a.m. in the morning, August 15, 2018.

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Heavy snow and powerful wind created blizzard-like conditions Monday across parts of the Midwest, prompting ofﬁcials to cancel about 1,000 ﬂights at Chicago’s airports and close hundreds of schools. But forecasters warned the most dangerous weather is yet to come: frigidly low temperatures that the region hasn’t seen in a quarter century. Snowplow drivers had trouble keeping up with the snow in Minnesota and Wisconsin, where some areas got as much as 15 inches (38 centimeters). Chicagoarea commuters woke up to heavy snowfall, with more than 5 inches (12.7 centimeters) already on the ground. In Michigan, nonessential government ofﬁces were closed, including the Capitol. But the snow is only “part one, and maybe even the easier part” because temperatures will plummet over the next three days, said Brian Hurley, a meteorologist with the Weather Prediction Center. Wednesday is expected to be the worst. Wind chills in northern Illinois could fall to negative 55 degrees (negative 48 degrees Celsius), which the National Weather Service called “possibly life threatening.” Minnesota temperatures could hit minus 30 degrees (negative 34 degrees Celsius) with a wind chill of negative 60 (negative 51 degrees Celsius). “You’re talking about frostbite and hypothermia issues very quickly, like in a matter of minutes, maybe seconds,” Hurley said. The potentially record-breaking low temperature forecast in Milwaukee is negative 28 degrees (negative 33 degrees Celsius), with a wind chill as low as negative 50 (negative 45 degrees Celsius). The current record of minus 26 degrees (negative 32 degrees Celsius) was set in 1996. “That’s 40 degrees below normal,” Hurley said. “When you think about it in that sense, that’s a big ‘whoa.’” Cold weather advisories are in effect across a broad swath of the central U.S., from North Dakota to Missouri and spanning into Ohio. Temperatures will be as many as 20 degrees below average in parts of the Upper Great Lakes region and Upper Mississippi Valley, according to the National Weather Service. The unusually frigid weather is attributed to a sudden warming way above the North Pole. A sudden blast of warm air from misplaced Moroccan heat last month made the normally super chilly air temperatures 20 miles (32 kilometers) above the North Pole rapidly rise about 125 degrees (70 degrees Celsius). That split the polar vortex into pieces, which then started to wander, according to Judah Cohen, a winter storm expert for Atmospheric Environmental Research, a commercial ﬁrm outside Boston. One of those polar vortex pieces is responsible for the sub-zero temperatures across the Midwest this week. Homeless shelters were preparing for the onslaught of cold. The Milwaukee Rescue Mission’s call volume was “unusually high,” but there should still be enough beds for those who need them, said the mission’s president, Pat Vanderburgh. “We are being especially vigilant during the night,” he said. “Monitoring our doors, our security are going out on the street, we’re partnering individuals that go out proactively looking out for homeless individuals and sharing with them winter clothes and food.” Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel urged residents to check on their neighbors and take safety precautions. He said city agencies are making sure homeless people are in shelters or offered space in warming buses. Hundreds of schools were closed across Michigan as road conditions deteriorated, including Eastern Michigan University. The largest public school districts in Wisconsin and Minnesota also were among those closed, including districts in Milwaukee and St. Paul. Minneapolis Public Schools announced there would be no classes through Wednesday. The cold also prompted ofﬁcials to close some schools in eastern Iowa, while Chicago Public Schools ofﬁcials said they were monitoring the weather ahead of Wednesday’s cold snap.

BUCKEYE STATE NEWS Authorities: More than 1 killed in mobile home fire NEW LEXINGTON, Ohio (AP) — Authorities in Ohio say that more than one person has died in a mobile home ﬁre and others have been injured. New Lexington police and ﬁre ofﬁcials say they have conﬁrmed some fatalities and some people were taken to hospitals with injuries from the blaze reported Monday morning. A 911 supervisor says the ﬁre was reported around 12:30 a.m. Derrick Keylor (KAY’-lor) conﬁrmed there was more than one fatality. He said no information on the number of those killed or injured or their ages was immediately available. Police Chief Scott Ervin says in a news release there is “still a very active investigation” ongoing. The Ohio State Fire Marshal’s Ofﬁce is also investigating. New Lexington is roughly 55 miles (89 kilometers) southeast of Columbus. Ofﬁcers say they found the vehicle at a nearby location and a second gunshot victim in the street near the vehicle. Police say a third person who was shot was found by a neighbor near the site where the vehicle was located. All three people who were shot were taken to a hospital, where one was pronounced dead. The other two remained hospitalized. Authorities didn’t immediately release any other details on the shooting.

They apologized to Robert’s family for what had happened and said they wished it was something that had never occurred. They said Preston had struggled most of his adult life with pain and addiction due to a back injury that had occurred in his early 20s that disallowed him from continuing his last year of college, although it did not excuse what had happened to Robert. “Clearly, my drug addiction has led me down some very dark paths in the past,” said Preston. “I do know that my actions and decisions ended up causing (Robert’s) death. For that reason, I will always feel the guilt. I realize that by never intending to hurt anyone it does not absolve me of my responsibilities or my actions and bad decisions. I found it very difﬁcult these days leading up to this hearing to ﬁnd the right words to describe how sorry I am to the Baxter family.” Gallia Common Pleas Judge Margaret Evans said that initial reports taken by OSHP troopers interacting with Preston at the scene of the crash indicated that he wished he was able to trade places with Robert at the time. She eventually sentenced Preston to the full eight years allowed by law for his crime as asked by the Baxter family. Preston had over a decade of encounters with law enforcement and court ofﬁcials for various drug issues. OVI charges in Ohio are typically considered misdemeanors. An OVI charge becomes a felony when a suspect has three or more previous OVI convictions within a period of 10 years, according to 4511.19 of the Ohio Revised Code. According to Gallipolis Municipal Court online records, Preston had no previous OVI charges. Preston also was previously charged with two ﬁrst-degree misdemeanor OVI counts and one second-degree misdemeanor possession of a drug abuse instrument as well as a minor misdemeanor for marijuana paraphernalia. He pleaded guilty to one OVI charge and one for possession of a drug abuse instrument in the Gallipolis Municipal Court. The other charges were dismissed. He was sentenced to a mandatory ﬁne of $375, a mandatory one-year license suspension, a maximum of 180 days in jail and credited with 156 already served because Preston never posted bond. His sentence will run concurrent with what was declared in Gallia Common Pleas as per the Ohio Revised Code. For the drug abuse instrument charge, he was sentenced to 90 days in jail, which he was credited with 90, having already served them. “Ours was a call of an overdose,” said Rio Grande Police Chief Josh Davies previously in August 2018 of Preston’s ﬁrst encounter with law enforcement over the 48 hour period before Baxter’s death. “He was unresponsive. We were able to get him responsive and he was transported by squad to the hospital. We did our criminal charges and he had to be treated so there was nothing else we could do because he had to be treated by the hospital. Afterwards, I conversed with the (then Gallipolis City Solicitor Adam Salisbury) regarding charges and he recommended we charge him (Preston) with OVI because he was behind the wheel of the vehicle with the keys in the ignition, the engine running and he was unresponsive.” Preston was at the hospital before Rio ofﬁcers conversed with the solicitor about an OVI charge, said Davies. “There’s ways (charges can be ﬁled),” said Davies. “Obviously, (Preston was out of Rio Grande jurisdiction at the time he was taken to Holzer Medical Center). Usually, a summons or criminal complaint will be ﬁled (with the courts), which is just what we did. We ﬁled a complaint against (Preston). At that time, once he’s taken by the hospital, we don’t know the extent of what’s going to happen…We have to see what happens he recovered his car the next day. Jan. 13 Dispatch received a call from EMS advising they had received a call requesting a squad at an address on Martin Street in Rutland. There was a lot of yelling in the background and thinks it could possibly a domestic situation. Deputy Stacy was sent to the address to secure the scene for the medics. It was determined to be purely a medical call, the yelling heard by the 911 dispatcher was because of a hearing aid with a dead battery. No further action was taken by deputy on this call. Dispatch received a call from EMS advising that they were sending a squad to a home on Grueser Hollow for an unknown head injury. Deputies arrived on scene with the squad. It was determined to be a medical call and no further action was taken by deputies. Tuesday, January 29, 2019 3 way. Upon arrival the vehicle was located sitting sideways in the roadway with only one tire off the road.

(whether an individual survives an overdose). It’s kind of a case by case basis on what the situation is. In an overdose, you may have no charges on him whatsoever.” In an attempt to follow procedure, Davies said Rio Grande police went to converse with the solicitor for legal counsel to make certain what was the best course of action to take next. A warrant was not issued until after the conversation with the solicitor. According to an earlier conversation the same August with Ohio State Highway Patrol Commander Lt. Barry Call, troopers had another incident at a gas station on Jackson Pike with Preston at approximately 11:30 p.m., the same Tuesday evening. He was arrested for OVI, after going through a ﬁeld sobriety test, taken back to the post and processed for the reported incident. Preston was released into the care of an individual who had the situation explained to him, that Preston was still impaired, and who signed a release form to take Preston into his custody and care. Preston was released around 1:30 a.m. in the morning, Wednesday. The fatality which resulted in Baxter’s death happened around 12:37 p.m., that afternoon. “One of (law enforcement) processes is allowing an impaired driver to get a ride (when released),” said Call previously. Of impaired drivers picked up by OSHP in 2018, about 47 percent of them were found to be under the inﬂuence of narcotics and law enforcement expects that number will grow. Call said the post had roughly 350 OVI arrests throughout Gallia and Meigs County. The commander said troopers had followed protocol while handling Preston’s case and that currently no changes in policy were in motion with an impaired driver being released into the care of a sober individual. “As far as our policy and protocol, it hasn’t changed,” said Call after the sentencing. “It’s kind of a freaky instance (the Preston case), if you will…As we spoke before, several months ago, we (Rio Grande police and troopers) followed protocol…It had an effect on my guys at the post because we’re out there to curb behavior.” “Unfortunately in this case, we are stuck with the maximum sentence of eight years,” said Gallia Prosecutor Jason Holdren. “So, justice in a sense was served that he received the maximum OH-70103147 Daily Sentinel Editor’s Note: The Daily Sentinel appreciates your input to the community calendar.

On hand witnessing the ceremony was Mr. DeWine’s newest colleague, Gov. Matt Bevin of Kentucky. During his remarks, Mr. DeWine remarked that he and Gov. Bevin need to work together on some notable projects, most notably the Brent Spence Bridge in Cincinnati. For the uninitiated the Brent William Spence Bridge is the bridge that ‘Bill’ Lutz takes Interstate 71 and Interstate Contributing 75 trafﬁc across the Ohio River. columnist The bridge, built in 1963, is one of the busiest bridges in the country. Roughly $417 billion of goods and services cross that bridge every year, along with 160,000 motor vehicles each day, even though it was designed to only carry 80,000 vehicles. And for anyone who has travelled the bridge, it’s an adventure. Four lanes of trafﬁc each way, no emergency lanes, and travelling north the signage is poor, at best. And the trafﬁc … many times the trafﬁc on the bridge is backed up for miles. On more than one occasion, I have been known to cut across and take the Interstate 471 bridge back and forth across the river. So, when Gov. DeWine and Gov. Bevin get together to try to tackle one of the nation’s largest infrastructure struggles, Gov. DeWine is going to be coming with one additional challenge. There isn’t much money in the state’s transportation piggy bank. Preliminary data from the Ohio Department of Transportation shows that in their ﬁscal year 2020 and 2021 budget plan, most of the state’s transportation dollars are going to go to simply maintain what exists. There is no ﬂexibility to add capacity or new infrastructure. Add to this that the state’s Turnpike Bond program is about to expire, and we are quickly in a position where our state’s transportation capital program has been cut by nearly 30 percent from ﬁscal year 2014 to ﬁscal year 2020. And the problem is exacerbated by the fact that trafﬁc congestion and poor transportation infrastructure is a cost that we all bear. According to the Texas Transportation Institute’s Urban Mobility Scorecard, Ohio drivers spend over 201 million hours in trafﬁc congestion. In terms of dollars and cents, congestion costs the average Daytonian $590 a year in lost wages, wear and tear on a vehicle, gasoline, etc. Remember the bad trafﬁc on the Brent Spence Bridge? Trafﬁc congestion costs the average Cincinnatian $989 a year. So, what’s a new governor to do? He’s faced with huge infrastructure problems that are not getting better and decreased resources to help ﬁx the program. Fortunately, the state of poor transportation has not fallen on deaf ears. A strong coalition of business and government folks are coming together to help begin the conversation on the state of Ohio’s roads. This newly minted coalition, Fix Our Road Ohio, or FOR Ohio, has brought together Ohio’s small villages, large cities, townships, counties, chambers of commerce, business leagues and other organizations to shine a light on the poor state of our state’s transportation infrastructure. FOR Ohio has put together a comprehensive and cohesive list of policy options that should at least get a fair hearing at our statehouse and get the conversation started on how to get our state’s infrastructure back on track. The list will provide options to increase the state’s fuel tax and options to have it grow with inﬂation; currently Ohio has one of the lowest fuel tax rates in the Midwest. Other options look at how to deal with alternative fuel and electric vehicles as well as providing new opportunities to provide for public transit with dedicated funding. On its face, no one likes the idea of increased taxes. But, I would venture to guess far fewer people think our state’s transportation infrastructure is in an acceptable condition. In addition, our infrastructure is already costing our individual drivers and commuters hundreds of dollars a year as it is. Groups like FOR Ohio are important to help bring attention to an important economic issue in our state. Our state leadership would be well advised to give this group the opportunity to share their issues and give their policy options an opportunity to be discussed and debated.

NELSONVILLE, Ohio — Bad breaks on the road continue. The Eastern boys basketball team — fresh off back-to-back home wins —suffered its third straight one-possession loss on the road in Athens County on Saturday, falling to non-league host Nelsonville-York by a 53-52 tally. Eastern (9-6) — now 3-2 outside of the Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division this season — fell behind 15-to-9 after eight minutes of play. The Eagles got two points back in the second quarter, outscoring the Buckeyes (7-10) by a 14-to-12 count to make the Nelsonville-York advantage 27-23 at halftime. The guests were in front by a 39-36 tally at the end of the third period, as the Eagles went on a 16-to-9 run featuring seven ﬁeld goals in the quarter. Eastern scored a dozen points over the ﬁnal eight minutes, but the hosts tallied 17 and slipped away with the 53-52 win. The Eagles made 22 ﬁeld goals, including a trio of threepointers in the contest, while NYHS sank 23 ﬁeld goals, including a quartet of triples. At the foul line, Eastern was 5-of-8 (62.5 percent), while Nelsonville-York was 3-of-7 (42.9 percent). EHS senior Isaiah Fish led the guests with 11 points, featuring ﬁve ﬁeld goals and one free throw. Next was Colton Reynolds with 10 points, including three from beyond the arc. Garrett Barringer ﬁnished with eight points for the Eagles, while Mason Dishong came up with seven. Blaise Facemyer and Ryan Dill both ended with ﬁve points, with a three-pointer apiece. Derrick Metheney scored four points for the guests, while Sharp Facemyer rounded out the team total See BUCKEYES | 7 Ohio State ends five-game skid with win over Huskers LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — The shot clock was about to hit zero when Ohio State’s Luther Muhammad launched a shot from behind the key. The ball hit the front of the rim, bounced off the backboard and dropped straight through. “To be honest, every time I let it go I feel like it’s good,” Muhammad said. “That one, that was a straight heat check. I just felt like, ‘Today’s my day. God is on my side today.’ “ That funky 3-pointer — Muhammad’s third in a ﬁve-minute span of the second half — stemmed the momentum Nebraska was starting to generate and helped carry the Buckeyes to a 70-60 win that ended their longest losing streak in 21 years. Muhammad scored 18 of his career-high 24 points in the second half, including two other 3s during a 20-5 run that propelled the Buckeyes (136, 3-5 Big Ten) to their ﬁrst win in six games. “This group has been pretty tied together even through as hard a stretch as any of us could have dreamed of,” OSU coach Chris Holtmann said. “They’ve stayed together, and ﬁnally some things went our way.” James Palmer and Glynn Watson Jr. combined for 37 points to lead the Cornhuskers (13-7, 3-6), who have lost three straight games and ﬁve of seven. Nebraska played without Isaac Copeland for all but a minute of the second half after he landed awkwardly when colliding with an Ohio State player under the basket. The athletic department announced Saturday night that Copeland tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee and is out for the season. Ohio State started breaking open the game after Nebraska took its last lead, 38-36. The Buckeyes badly beat the Huskers on the boards, 45-31 overall and 14-7 on the offensive end. “I think this shows what type of team we are when we play the full 40 minutes,” guard C.J. Jackson said. “We obviously know Nebraska is a good team. They’ve been struggling here late. They’ve been ranked this year. We just know once we play the full 40 minutes we can play with anybody.” Disgruntled fans gave a sarcastic cheer when Nebraska got a long rebound of a missed Ohio State 3-pointer with about 6½ minutes left.

AFC wins 3rd straight Pro Bowl ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — The Pro Bowl has long been considered a laughable representation of the NFL game. It reached a new level of comedy Sunday as several players swapped positions during the annual all-star game. Jacksonville Jaguars cornerback Jalen Ramsey caught a touchdown pass in the ﬁnal minute, capping a dominant performance for the AFC defense in a 26-7 victory over the NFC in steady rain. It was the third consecutive victory for the AFC, all of them at Camping World Stadium. The last two were played in sloppy weather, with the latest one also coming amid temperatures in the mid-50s. It was far from ideal conditions, raising speculation about the game’s future in Orlando, but fairly ﬁtting considering the effort players provided. It was two-hand touch most of the day, with ofﬁcials blowing plays dead at the slightest hint of contact. “Who cares, man?” New York Jets safety Jamal Adams said. “At the end of the day, we’re like little kids out there just playing in the mud, playing in the rain.” Regardless of the elements, the AFC made the plays the NFC didn’t. Kansas City’s Patrick Mahomes completed an 18-yard touchdown pass to Indianapolis’ Eric Ebron on the opening possession, helping Mahomes earn the offensive Most Valuable Player award. Mahomes pleaded with voters to give it to Chiefs fullback Anthony Sherman, who caught three passes for 92 yards and ran for a score. “Sherman had my vote. Sherman had my vote,” said Mahomes, who completed 7 of 14 passes for 156 yards. “I thought I told everybody on the camera. He made some plays out there. For a fullback, we have one of the best in the league so I’m always happy to try to get him a little vote like that.” Adams, who made headlines for sacking the New England Patriots mascot during a Pro Bowl skills competition, was named the defensive MVP thanks to an interception and a sack. “It’s a great achievement, but the main thing was to come out here and get the victory,” Adams said. “That was the main thing, just to get the money, man. That’s what we wanted.” Mahomes and Adams each got a luxury vehicle. AFC players will get $67,000 each for the victory, $8,000 more than the guys who lose the Super Bowl next week in Atlanta. The Pro Bowl losers will get $39,000 each. The AFC defenders earned their share of the pot. The conference allowed the NFC 148 total yards and 10 ﬁrst downs while intercepting three passes and notching seven sacks. Ramsey got in on offense late, catching a 6-yard slant pass from Houston’s Deshaun Watson with 19 seconds remaining. Los Angeles Chargers rookie safety Derwin James failed to haul in the 2-point conversion. “Man, me and Deshaun, that’s my brother from another mother,” Ramsey said. “We’ve been plotting and scheming all week, manifesting, and it just came about.” New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley, Dallas running back Ezekiel Elliott, Tampa Bay receiver Mike Evans and New Orleans’ Alvin Kamara all got in on defense for the NFC. Evans notched an interception. The AFC led 20-0 early in the fourth quarter, looking like it might record the ﬁrst shutout in Pro Bowl history. But Dallas’ Dak Prescott found Atlanta’s Austin Hooper for a 20-yard score on fourth down with 9:09 remaining. The NFC had plenty of chances before that. The conference failed to score on a fourth-and-goal run early. Chicago’s Mitchell Trubisky, Minnesota receiver Adam Thielen and Prescott threw interceptions. Trubisky was sacked by Adams on a ﬂea ﬂicker, and Dallas’ Amari Cooper had a wide-open touchdown pass bounce off his face mask. Seattle’s Russell Wilson also was sacked four times. Mascot madness Adams’ hit on the Pats mascot went viral, leading to false reports about the guy being hospitalized. “It’s dying down now,” Adams said. “He never went to the hospital. They blew it up. It was all for the fans. I gained some fans and I gained some enemies, put it like that.” In-game hijinks Indianapolis Colts tight end Eric Ebron had his phone tucked into the pocket of his sweatshirt and used it between the third and fourth quarters. Ebron took pics with opposing players, working his way around the entire NFC defense. Another no-call Adams hugged a line judge who didn’t throw a ﬂag on an obvious pass interference play against Green Bay receiver Davonte Adams. Davonte Adams dropped to the ground in disbelief, and several NFC teammates protested.

An offensive foul and a double technical at the 1:33 mark of the third period ultimately spoiled a tightly-contested battle of former rivals Saturday night as visiting Warren made a 23-8 surge over the ﬁnal nine-plus minutes to claim a 53-35 decision over the Gallia Academy boys basketball team in Gallia County. The host Blue Devils (9-6) managed their ﬁnal lead of the night as Logan Blouir converted a basket for a 27-25 cushion, but Noah Nichols countered with a trifecta that gave the Warriors (11-4) a permanent lead. That 3-pointer also sparked a quick 5-0 run that resulted in a 30-27 edge with less than two minutes remaining in the third. On the Blue Devils’ ensuing possession, Cory Call came off of a screen and moved outside the arc in front of the GAHS bench. Contact was made between Call and the defender as Call tried to establish position, which resulted in the offensive foul call. Both Call and Gallia Academy coach Gary Harrison were issued technical fouls shortly after the play, and the PARKERSBURG, W.Va. — Keeping a good thing going. The Hannan boys basketball team picked up its second straight victory and won its third decision in four outings on Friday night with an 82-47 decision over host Parkersburg Christian in a non-conference matchup in Wood County. The visiting Wildcats (5-9) had 10 players reach the scoring column, including four in double ﬁgures, while leading wire-to-wire in the 35-point triumph. HHS received nine points from Dalton Coleman as part of a 24-6 ﬁrst quarter run, but the Knights managed to keep things a bit more competitive in the second frame as Hannan went on a small 13-12 spurt to secure a 37-18 cushion at the break. Chandler Starkey added eight points in the third canto as part of a 24-18 run that extended the lead out to 61-36 entering the ﬁnale, then the Blue and White closed regulation with a 21-11 surge to wrap up the 82-47 outcome. Starkey paced Hannan with 17 points, followed by Coleman with 15 points and the duo of Casey Lowery and Ryan Hall with 11 markers apiece. Chase Nelson was next with seven points, while Andrew Gillispie and Justin Rainey respectively added ﬁve and four markers. Claeb Gussler and Matthew Qualls completed the scoring with three points apiece. Trey Bennett paced PCHS with a game-high 23 points, followed by Wyatt Eaton with 18 poiints and Kaleb Dean with three markers. Izaia Nazelrod completed the scoring with two points.

The Warriors netted 17-of-38 shot attempts to beat the Chicago Bulls 104-101 on Sunday. “We haven’t been in that situation often,” Drew said. “But when we do get there, I think it is important moving forward that we learn how to play down the stretch, learn how to execute, we learn how to, defensively, get the stops that we need.” NBA-worst Cleveland improved to 10-41 after dropping 18 of 19.

Offensive lines key in Super Bowl ATLANTA (AP) — The Los Angeles Rams and New England Patriots are bringing two of the top scoring offenses in the NFL to the Super Bowl. The reason they’ve both played so well has a lot to do with the big guys playing up front. Los Angeles had the same offensive line starters for all 16 games and both playoff contests. Their consistency has been key to everything Rams coach Sean McVay does with a team that averaged 32.9 points per game, ranked second in the league. A line that has nobody who has ever played in a Super Bowl is being rewarded. “Having that consistency is big in everything we do,” left tackle Andrew Whitworth said. “We know each other very well at this point, and that’s something that you can rely on when you’re in a tight game, when you need to execute at an important time in the game.” The line has been just as dependable for the Patriots. Tom Brady has not been sacked in either of New England’s two playoff wins, with defenses getting only three quarterback hits while chasing an offense that is part of a team averaging 27.3 points per game, ranked fourth in the NFL. It hasn’t gone unnoticed by the Patriots’ 41-year-old quarterback. In the days after their AFC championship game victory over Kansas City, Brady posted a picture on Instagram of his spotless Elise Amendola | AP file New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady (12) calls a play during the first half of the AFC Championship Jan. 20 against the Kansas City Chiefs in Kansas City, Mo. The Los Angeles Rams and New England Patriots are bringing two of the top scoring offenses in the NFL to the Super Bowl. jersey. He tagged each of his offensive linemen in the post, writing, “Not even 1 grass stain!” The last time Brady wasn’t sacked through two playoff games was the 2003 season, when he wasn’t sacked at all during the Patriots’ three wins, including their Super Bowl victory over Carolina. “I think they’ve performed incredible all year really,” Brady said. “We really haven’t had many sacks this year and I think they’ve done such a great job protecting, and the run game, I think that speaks for itself. That was just an incredible effort last week and we’re going to need it again because this group is obviously exceptional at (the defensive line). “The D-line is certainly a great strength of theirs. We’ll be challenged. All those guys will be challenged.” The 37-year-old Whitworth is the cornerstone of the Rams’ offensive turnaround, providing brilliant blocking and steady leadership ever since he left Cincinnati to join McVay on the West Coast two years ago. He has started every game except one in the past two seasons — and so have left guard Rodger Saffold, center John Sullivan and right tackle Rob Havenstein. The Rams’ continuity on the line is remarkable in the modern NFL. Their only change from 2017 to 2018 was made at right guard, where Austin Blythe replaced the suspended Jamon Brown for the ﬁrst two games of this season and played so well he never relinquished the spot. The Rams’ offensive line is a reliable barometer for the success of their powerful offense. When the linemen are playing well, as they did through the ﬁrst 10 weeks of the season, quarterback Jared Goff operates smoothly behind his protection and Todd Gurley ﬁnds gaping holes in their opponents’ defensive fronts. When the line struggles, as it appeared to do at Detroit and Chicago in December, the offense stalls. Goff was pressured 51 times in a four-game stretch late in the regular season after getting pressured just 78 times in the ﬁrst 10 games, directly leading to the Rams’ losses to the Bears and the Philadelphia Eagles. “Everybody knows how much I love those guys,” Gurley said. “They’re responsible for everything. We’ve got the best line in the game, in my opinion, and they show it on the ﬁeld every week.” New England lost two starters on its offensive line in the offseason when tackles Nate Solder and Cam Fleming left in free agency. But with Marcus Cannon and Trent Brown taking their spots, joining center David Andrews and guards Shaq Mason and Joe Thuney, Brady was sacked 21 times during the regular season, compared with 35 times last season. New England knows it will take a similar effort against a Rams’ defensive line that also features All-Pro Aaron Donald, Dante Fowler and Ndamukong Suh. Andrews said one of the things they are so good at is changing up things, with Suh sometimes playing nose guard, and lining up on the edge other times. “Obviously they’re both dynamic players,” Andrews said. “Aaron Donald is the best defensive football player in the league, there’s no doubt about that. So it’s going to be a big challenge. We’re going to have to do a lot of things well.” US beats Panama 3-0 in Berhalter’s debut GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Gregg Berhalter became only the third U.S. coach in the modern era to start with a win, Djordje Mihailovic and Christian Ramirez scored in their national team debuts and the Americans beat Panama 3-0 Sunday night in an exhibition between nations that started inexperienced lineups. Walker Zimmerman also scored for the U.S., which used a roster of players all from Major League Soccer and drew just 9,040, its smallest for a home game since October 2016. Berhalter made a surprise pick as captain, choosing defender Aaron Long in his third inter- national appearance rather than 31-year-old midﬁelder Michael Bradley in his 143rd. Seven U.S. players made debuts, including ﬁve starters — the most since in the starting lineup since Sept. 3, 1992, at Canada. Mihailovic was joined by fellow newcomers Corey Baird and Jeremy Ebobisse in the midﬁeld, and outside backs Nick Lima and Daniel Lovitz also made debuts. Jonathan Lewis and Ramirez made debuts in the second half. The only veterans were Bradley and 27-year-old forward Gyasi Zardes. Mihailovic put the U.S. ahead in the 40th minute from just inside the penalty area off a cross from Baird. Zimmerman scored his second goal in ﬁve appearances in the 80th minute, knocking in a header from about 7 yards after Nick Lima intercepted a pass after Panama started a counter following a U.S. corner kick. Ramirez tapped in a cross from Lewis in the 89th. Goalkeeper Zack Steffen wasn’t tested much in the ﬁrst half but got out his left hand to block Edson Samms’ close-range shot 10 minutes into the second half. Sean Johnson replaced Steffen with about 15 minutes to go. POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. — When the pace picked up, the Mavericks pulled away. The Point Pleasant boys basketball team trailed by just two points at halftime of Saturday’s bout in ‘The Dungeon’, but visiting James Monroe put up 48 second half points on its way to a 74-61 victory. The Big Blacks (2-11) connected on ﬁve ﬁeld goals, including two three-pointers in the opening quarter, but still trailed JMHS (9-4) by a 14-12 tally. PPHS matched its ﬁrst period output in the second, but James Monroe scored 12 points of its own and took a 26-24 lead into the break. Out of the half, Point Pleasant had its best offensive quarter of the night, scoring 20 points, including 18 from beyond the arc. The Mavericks, however, also hit six three-pointers on their way to 26 points in the third, making the margin 52-44 with eight minutes to play. A trio of triples and a quartet of deuces gave the hosts 17 points in the fourth quarter, but the Mavericks sealed the 74-61 triumph with 22 points in the ﬁnale. Point Pleasant didn’t attempt a free throw in the contest, with JMHS going 8-of-16 (50 percent) from the foul line. PPHS sophomore Hunter Bush led the hosts with 26 points, including 18 from three-point range. Kyelar Morrow hit three trifectas on his way to 13 points, Braxton Yates made two triples and ﬁnished with 10 markers, while Trey Peck hit one three-pointer and wound up with seven points. Rounding out the hosts’ tally, Bradyn Canterbury ﬁnished with two points. McKinley Mann led the victors with 26 points, followed by John Sauvage with 15, Jaylon Lewis with 13 and Andrew Hazelwood with 11. Dalton Bradley scored nine points to cap off the winning tally. Point Pleasant will have its second of three straight home games on Tuesday against Meigs. Alex Hawley can be reached at 740-446-2342, ext. 2100. No. 1 Vols beat WVU 83-66 for 14th straight win KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Lamonte’ Turner made the most of a rare start for Tennessee. Turner scored 23 points and the top-ranked Volunteers held West Virginia scoreless for a 9 1/2-minute stretch Saturday on its way to an 83-66 victory. The 21-year-old Turner also had ﬁve assists in his ﬁrst start since the 2017 SEC Tournament. Coach Rick Barnes said he replaced Yves Pons with Turner because he wanted a second ball handler against West Virginia’s defense, but he wasn’t sure if he would stay with the same starting lineup. “Starting or coming off the bench, it really doesn’t matter to me, honestly,” said Turner, who found out about the start during Tennessee’s Saturday morning shootaround. “I’m just trying to come out and do whatever I can to help my teammates win, help my team win. I think tonight it called for me to start because they do a lot of pressing, and two ball handlers would really help us.” Even while coming off the bench, Turner had been playing signiﬁcantly more minutes than Pons. Turner was the 2018 SEC co-sixth man of the year but missed nine of Tennessee’s ﬁrst 12 games this season as he recovered from a shoulder injury. Turner went 8 for 10 from the ﬁeld to help Tennessee (18-1) erase its ﬁrst double-digit deﬁcit of the season. Tennessee took command by ending the ﬁrst half on a 24-2 run and scoring the ﬁrst four points of the second half. That put the Vols on track for their 14th consecutive victory in the school’s longest win streak since it opened the 1922-23 season with 14 straight wins. “I think they’re as good as anybody in the country,” West Virginia coach Bob Huggins said. Grant Williams scored 19 points for Tennessee, and Jordan Bowden had 15. Admiral Schoﬁeld ﬁnished with 14 points and 10 rebounds. Esa Ahmad scored 16 points and Derek Culver had 15 for West Virginia (9-11), which lost for the seventh time in its last eight games. The Mountaineers began the day shooting just 31.9 percent from 3-point range, but they made ﬁve of their ﬁrst seven attempts from beyond the arc to grab a 19-7 advantage. After taking that 19-7 lead with 11:05 left in the half, West Virginia scored just two more points before halftime. The Mountaineers missed 13 straight shots at one point. “I think that’s the best we’ve played on defense all year,” Williams said. Huggins said the Mountaineers “created a lot of our own problems” during that collapse late in the ﬁrst half. Huggins noted that an inbounds pass hit an open player in the foot on one occasion, and that West Virginia didn’t bother passing to an open player in another sequence. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
