OHIO VALLEY
— If you’re traveling

notice new markings on
the road — the ﬁrst of
its kind in ODOT District 10.
In an effort to

10 workers last week
installed “elongated

GALLIPOLIS — After
facing court proceedings
in West Virginia, Richard Hurt, of Gallipolis,
appeared Friday in Gallipolis Municipal Court
to face an arraignment
involving two felony
charges in connection
with the discovery of
a dismembered human
body found outside Point
Pleasant, W.Va., a few
weeks ago.
Hurt, 47, faces the
third-degree felony charge
of tampering with evidence and the ﬁfth-degree
felony charge of abuse of a
corpse. Hurt was charged
in West Virginia with concealment of a deceased
human body, a felony as
well.
“We are here for an
arraignment,” said
Municipal Judge Margaret
Evans. “This is municipal
court and so normally it
handles misdemeanors.
The only felony things we
handle in municipal are
arraignments on felonies.
What’s going to happen
here today is the arraignment proceeding.
“The only other thing
that happens in my court
concerning felonies is a
preliminary hearing. The
preliminary hearing is a
probable cause hearing.
It’s a look back to see if
there was probable cause
to believe a crime was
committed and that the
defendant committed it.
That will happen within
10 days. If probable cause
is found, the case will be
transferred to common
pleas court and the whole
proceeding will begin
again with a consideration
by the grand jury of the
charges against Mr. Hurt.
If an indictment is issued,

ing a right turn lane
for Rocksprings Road
for the exit ramp to
US 33 westbound,”
said Thomas Camden,
District 10 studies
supervisor. “This was
expressed as a safety
concern since those
vehicles would not
actually turn onto
Rocksprings Road, but
would travel on past the
intersection to actual
ramp.”
The aim of the route
shields is to get drivers
to go past the Rocksprings Road turn lane.
Along with the
shields, there are
arrows at two locations — one at the
Rocksprings Road turn
lane directing vehicles

Kasich says he is
through with
talking about Trump
DAYTON, Ohio (AP)
— Republican Gov.
John Kasich says he has
nothing further to say
about his party’s presidential nominee.
Kasich has declined
to endorse Donald
Trump and pointedly
didn’t participate in the
Republican National
Convention proceedings
in Cleveland, where
Trump was ofﬁcially
nominated after topping
Kasich and the rest of
the GOP ﬁeld.
“I’ve said all I need
to say about Trump,”
said Kasich, who has
been critical of Trump’s
attacking style, among
other things. “My
actions speak louder

than my words.”
Kasich told the
Dayton Daily News
on Thursday, as he
campaigned with U.S.
Sen. Rob Portman near
Dayton, that he plans
to also campaign for
Senate and House candidates in several other
states, including Florida, Texas and Colorado.
Kasich predicted that
Portman will win reelection against former
Democratic Gov. Ted
Strickland.
“It doesn’t even
matter what happens
at the top of the
ticket,” Kasich said.
“I think he’s been able

New scholarship
endowed at Marshall
Philanthropist Mary H. Hodges
designates gift for area students
Staff Report

HUNTINGTON, W.Va. — Dr. Kevin
W. Yingling, dean of the Marshall
University School of Pharmacy, has
announced establishment of the Mary
H. and J. Churchill Hodges School of
Pharmacy Scholarship.
“Mrs. Mary Hodges is a special friend
of the university, our community and
to me personally,” Yingling said. “Both
Mary and the late Churchill Hodges are
known as community leaders. Their
love for Marshall University is unparalleled as is evidenced by their generous
gifts to both academic and athletic
scholarship programs.”
Churchill Hodges was a two-time
graduate of Marshall, earning an associate degree in chemistry in 1948 and a
master’s in geography in 1953. He then
received a National Science Foundation
Academic Year Institute Scholarship
at The Ohio State University in 195758. He spent 35 years as an educator
in Cabell County, including classroom
teaching and administrative roles as
Supervisor of Science and Director of
Purchasing. He passed away in 2011.
Mary Hodges attended Marshall
beginning in 1950. Her professional
career included working for AAA Travel
Services for 21 years, serving as director of domestic travel for many of those
years.

Commencement.
Mary Hodges said she created the
scholarship at the School of Pharmacy
in honor of Yingling for his outstanding professionalism, quality of care and
genuine kindness.
The scholarship will be given to students who have a ﬁnancial need and are
residents of Cabell and Wayne counties
in West Virginia, Boyd County, Ky., and
Lawrence County, Ohio
The ﬁrst $2,000 scholarship was
awarded last week at the school’s

Camp promotes fun, understanding for kids with asthma
WESTON, W.Va. (AP) —
Around 65 campers participated in the 26th Camp Catch
Your Breath at Jacksons Mill
this past week.
The camp was started to
provide a summer camp to
those children who are turned
away from other camps every
year due to their medical condition, asthma.
The American Lung Association in West Virginia worked
with the United Hospital
Center (UHC) 26 years ago to
co-found the camp.
“Part of the goal of the
American Lung Association
is to ensure that children who
have asthma are able to, ﬁrst of
all, understand their disease,
and second of all manage it,”
Chantal Fields, area director of
the American Lung Association
in West Virginia, said.
She said there is no reason
children with asthma cannot
live a normal life.
“That is exactly the goal of
this camp,” Fields said. “We
bring these children in here
with asthma and spend a week
educating them about their
disease while they have a fantastic time at a summer camp
like any other kid would.”
This is the only camp of
its kind in the state that
helps young children who do
not know much about their
asthma.
“What our parents tell us of
the children who have been to
our camp before (is that)?their

the community.
“Financially it would not
be possible to run this kind
of camp if we did not have a
lot of generous donors,” he
said. “This is their summer
vacation, so it means a lot to
be able to give them that fun
camp experience and yet promote a disease that they deal
with and teach them how to
deal with it on a daily basis.”
On July 25, the campers
attended a special presentation by local wildlife biologist
Jo Santiago, the creator of
Flying Higher. Flying Higher
is an organization that travels
nationwide giving presentations about birds of prey to
youth. Santiago currently has
ﬁve wild birds that she has

Grad exhibits architecture skills

Gallia

By Bill Frye

From page 1A

Associated Press

BECKLEY, W.Va. — Recent high
school graduate Brityn Stump is
already taking steps to pursue a
career in civil engineering.
But despite advancing his aspirations by enrolling into West Virginia
University Institute of Technology
and a summer internship at Thrasher
Engineering, Stump recently took one
more step to close out his high school
career.
Earlier this year, Stump placed ﬁrst
with a gold medal in architectural
drafting at the West Virginia SkillsUSA competition.
That success allowed him to
compete at the national level at the
National SkillsUSA competition in
Louisville, Kentucky.

Now, Stump returns to Raleigh
County having placed second in the
nation in architectural drafting.
Stump said that for the competition
he and his competitors were put into
a “real world scenario” that had them
dealing with a customer who gave
them what they wanted in a house.
Stump then had to take those
requests and turn them into an actual
blueprint that featured a 1,600-squarefoot “c-shaped” home with three
bedrooms, two-and-a-half bathrooms
with a courtyard and both private and
public sectors.
This wasn’t Stump’s ﬁrst trip to the
national competition as he had done
it the year prior. But this year his
work earned him a silver medal and
the knowledge of being among the top
students in the nation with architectural drafting skills.

said to Combs. “We’re here to try to
deliberate the best we can for all the
residents of Gallia County. You have a
subset of those residents that you will
be representing. I think we’ll almost
always be in harmony. However, there
may a time when that might not be
true. We hope you will understand
where we come from and respect that
and we will try to do that for you.”

Combs said she is originally Stanford, Ky., part of Appalachian Kentucky. Combs said Gallia reminded
her a lot of home as Stanford had a
population of maybe 1,000 individuals
— smaller than Gallipolis.
Durbin will continue to help Combs
get acquainted with the area before
ﬁnally retiring after serving as the
Gallia Board of Developmental Disabilities superintendent for 21 years.

murder case.”
If convicted of tampering with evidence in Gallia Court of Common Pleas,
Hurt could face up to three years in
prison and a $15,000 ﬁne. If convicted
of abuse of a corpse, he could face up
to another year in prison and a $2,500
ﬁne.
Gallia County Prosecutor Jeff Adkins
requested bond be set at $500,000 with
a 10 percent surety “based on the seriousness of offenses.” The prosecutor
said further charges may potentially be
pending based on the eventual completion of scientiﬁc testing and examination of evidence.
Hurt’s counsel, Courtenay Craig, disagreed with Adkins, saying that Hurt
was a lifelong resident of Ohio and had
worked for 27 years with Ohio Valley
Electric Company. He said Hurt had no
other criminal history in any state. He
asked the court to consider home conﬁnement and felt that $500,000 seemed
“a bit egregious at this point.”
“I understand that there are tests to
come back,” Craig said, “but my client
is not accused of killing someone. He’s
accused of tampering with evidence
after the fact and the abuse of a corpse.
I understand while it’s distasteful, it’s
not a murder case.”
Adkins said he stood by his previous
request because it is still not known
what the evidence will bring forth.
Judge Evans ruled in favor of Adkins’
request.
Hurt’s preliminary hearing has been
set in municipal court at 10:30 a.m.
Aug. 24.

— Courtenay Craig,
Defense attorney

Complaint paperwork states that the
Gallia Sheriff’s Ofﬁce and Ohio Bureau
of Criminal Investigation assisted
authorities in Mason County, W.Va.,
once a dismembered body was discovered July 30. Hurt reportedly confessed
to investigators that he used a saw to
dismember the remains of missing
woman Jessica Berry, 32, of Gallipolis,
at a residence on White Road in Gallia
County. Berry supposedly overdosed
from drugs at the location. Hurt reportedly provided a false statement to Gallia
deputies in regard to Berry’s disappearance.
Hurt reportedly said he disposed
of the saw and Berry’s clothing in the
trash to be collected by a local trash service and taken to a landﬁll.
Law enforcement has yet to conﬁrm
whether the remains discovered in West
Virginia belong to Berry. According to
Gallia County Sheriff Joe Browning, a
report dated July 24 indicated Berry’s
family had not seen her for days and
were growing concerned. Deputies
spoke with the woman’s mother, Tammy
Taylor, who stated her daughter had
entered a red or maroon car with some
friends July 18 and family had not seen
or heard from her again.
Hurt is currently being held in the
Ross County Jail in Chillicothe.

State line
ends at
Columbus

Warning to those who train preachers

U. S. Senate candidates Republican Rob Portman and Democrat Ted Strickland have set a
schedule for three debates prior to election day on
Nov. 8.
Those debates will take place in Cleveland,
Youngstown (75 miles from Cleveland) and
Columbus.
Did we miss something? Was the state line redrawn and now stop at Columbus?
We completely understand political campaigning is all about numbers and population centers.
However, to not have a debate in the southern or
northwestern parts of the state is not fair to voters
and supporters of either candidate. Holding two
debates slightly more than an hour’s drive apart is
a little like rubbing voters’ faces in the mud.
It’s easy to draw some conclusions as to why
these two areas of the state are being ignored, but
that doesn’t make it right nor acceptable.
Cincinnati in southwest Ohio is the hometown
of Portman, the Republican incumbent. Northwest
Ohio is known as blue-collar, which tends to lean
toward Democrats. One can imagine Portman
staffers vetoing a Lima site and Cincinnati, which
was lobbying for a debate, was taken off the table
by Strickland campaign staff.
Cincinnati will likely see its share of campaigning, actually probably more than most would care
for. However, the other parts of outstate Ohio will
be subjected to parachute visits. Both candidates
will drop into our area for a photo op and a sound
bite lamenting that other debates could not be
agreed on and likely blame their opponent.
Then again it may be the weekend between
Cleveland and Youngstown debates was arranged
so each candidate can attend a Cleveland Indians
baseball game and throw out a ﬁrst pitch. Of
course, then they probably couldn’t agree who
would perform that ceremony on Saturday and
who would pitch on Sunday. As a solution they
will probably have to do it at the same game, but
then each candidate would likely want a different
catcher.

Look who’s over the hill! In August, we will be
celebrating the 81st anniversary of Social Security.

In 1935, President Roosevelt

signed the Social Security Act,
which gave birth to Social Security,
(almost) as we know it today. The program was
created primarily as a response to the growing rate
of poverty within the elderly population.
Here we are in the future, and Social Security
has come a long way from 1940, when Ida May
Fuller became the ﬁrst person to receive a beneﬁt
check. In 2015 alone, almost 60 million people
received Social Security beneﬁts.
The number of beneﬁciaries is growing daily,
and Social Security is developing ways to make
conducting business with us easier and more
secure. With several services available online,
including my Social Security, you might never
have to visit a ﬁeld ofﬁce. This is especially beneﬁcial for the aging community or those living in
remote areas, as traveling to ﬁeld ofﬁces may be
difﬁcult.
Choosing when to retire is an important decision. At www.socialsecurity.gov/estimator you can
get an estimate of your future beneﬁt amount. You
can use “what if” scenarios to see how your beneﬁt amounts will change with different retirement
dates and future earnings estimates.

Many men who stand

Ohio woman accused of trying
to strangle mom sentenced
WILLOWICK, Ohio (AP) — A northeast Ohio
woman is heading to prison after authorities say
she and her sister tried to strangle their mother
with computer cables on Thanksgiving.
Twenty-ﬁve-year-old Joanna Barnes was
sentenced Wednesday to seven years in prison after
pleading guilty earlier to felonious assault. Her
23-year-old sister, Jennifer Barnes, pleaded guilty
to an identical charge and also was sentenced this
month to seven years in prison.
Police in Willowick, east of Cleveland, say the
two wrapped USB cables around their mother’s
neck. Investigators say Joanna Barnes grabbed
a towel and her sister grabbed a pillow and they
pressed down on their mother’s face.
The mother escaped with neck injuries.
A mental health evaluation concluded the sisters
had mental health issues, but the prosecutor says
that didn’t justify their actions.
Joanna Barnes said the family was troubled but
said there was no justiﬁcation for her actions.

Man who bought
remains gets probation
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — An Ohio man has
received three years of probation after admitting
he purchased remains of eight Native Americans
reportedly stolen from a farm.
Mark Beatty was ordered to pay a $3,500 ﬁne and
$1,000 in restitution to the Miami American Indian
tribe in Oklahoma at his sentencing in federal court
on Thursday.
The 57-year-old Wellston man agreed to publish
an ad warning others not to engage in the illegal
excavation of Native American bones and artifacts.
Beatty also was sentenced to perform 100 hours
of community service in a program supporting
interests of Native Americans.
Beatty pleaded guilty last year to one count of
trafﬁcking in Native American remains.
Defense attorney Ritchey Hollenbaugh said
Beatty was fully cooperative, returned everything
and understood the delicate nature of the remains.

Ohio officials to release July
unemployment rate, jobs data
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — State ofﬁcials are set
to unveil Ohio’s unemployment rate and other jobs
data for July.
The Friday report from the Ohio Department
of Job and Family Services will show job gains
and losses across sectors such as construction,
manufacturing and health care.
Last July, the state’s jobless rate was 4.7 percent.
The state’s unemployment rate ticked down to 5
percent in June but was up from a year ago.
Ohio sectors that reported job gains in June
included construction and manufacturing.
Losses were reported in mining and logging and
educational and health services.
The nation’s unemployment rate held steady at
4.9 percent last month, unchanged from June.

Annual ‘Black Family
Reunion’ event kicks off
CINCINNATI (AP) — A yearly event that aims
to promote the strengths, traditions, values and
coping skills of black families is kicking off in
southwest Ohio.
The 28th annual Midwest Black Family Reunion
runs Friday through Sunday at several locations
in the Cincinnati area. The event will feature
religious speakers, food, music and games as well
as free health screenings that address race-based
disparities.
The Cincinnati Enquirer reports the festival also
aims to dispel negative myths and stereotypes
about the demise of the black family.
The Cincinnati event is the nation’s longestrunning Black Family Reunion.
Rockford, Illinois, is the only other city in the
U.S. that still holds the Black Family Reunion.

Man pleads guilty in fatal
horse-drawn buggy crash
JEFFERSON, Ohio (AP) — A man has pleaded
guilty in a drunken driving crash involving a horsedrawn buggy that left one woman dead and her
daughter seriously injured in northeast Ohio.
The Star-Beacon newspaper in Ashtabula reports
52-year-old Jeffrey Fleming pleaded guilty Thursday
in Jefferson to charges of aggravated vehicular
homicide and operating a vehicle while under the
inﬂuence.
Authorities say the Williamsﬁeld man rearended the Amish buggy on U.S. Route 322 on Dec.
23. The buggy’s driver was injured. Her mother,
68-year-old Clara Miller, died.
Fleming told the judge he never saw the buggy.
His attorney said Fleming had apologized to the
Miller family.
Authorities say Fleming’s blood alcohol level was
about 0.27 percent. That’s more than three times
the legal limit.
He’s scheduled for sentencing on Oct. 14.

Vehicles drive along the Ohio Turnpike in Strongsville. Ohio Turnpike Executive Director Randy Cole tells The Associated Press that
testing of self-driving vehicles could begin on the toll road in late 2016 or in 2017. Cole says the route that takes Interstate 80
from Pennsylvania to Indiana is set up well for testing autonomous vehicles because it already has a fiber network along the entire

The Lucky Cat Museum isn’t just
Robertson’s dream-come-true. It’s her
everyday.
“Being a cat-obsessed freak is natural to me,” she said with a laugh.
For Robertson, this whole thing
started, actually, with the real-life
inspiration for the maneki-neko. All
and any kind of feline, really.
The fuzzy and fat. The needy and
the aloof. Curious and anxious.
The lucky and the unlucky.
And it started early, at the very
beginning. Like from the ﬁrst hours of
her life. Robertson’s ﬁrst cat wasn’t a
pet. It was her nursemaid, she said.
“There hasn’t been a time in my life
when I didn’t have pet cats,” Robertson said. ” … (we) really seem to gel.”
She loves that cats can take care
of themselves. That they come to
her if they want attention. And that
it’s harder to get that attention from
them. So she feels really loved when
they do want that attention. Oh, and
of course, they are freaking adorable.

The Lucky Cat Museum, however,
subscribes to one narrative: The temple cat. Look closely for a miniature
display on Tokyo’s Gotoku-ji shrine.
The story goes something like this:
A lord is riding by a dilapidated temple. A storm rolls in.
The lord and his horse seek shelter
under a nearby tree. He spots the
priest’s cat, paw raised, beckoning
him. (Remember, to Westerners that
motion looks like a greeting, a wave.
In Japan, it means “come here.”)
Some unseen force compels the lord
to comply. Moments later, lightning
strikes the tree.
That’s what lucky looks like.
In honor of this good fortune, that
lord revived the shrine. And now,
people from around the globe visit
Gotoku-ji and purchase Lucky Cat
ﬁgurines to honor granted wishes.
Robertson ordered a Gotoku-ji ﬁgurine to join her collection. It hasn’t
arrived yet, but the wish has.

ﬂight home.
Back at the Lucky Cat Museum,
one case is full of the classic white
cat holding a gold coin, popularized
in the mid-century. The kind you recognize from restaurant counters and
shop windows.
There’s a whole row of solar-powered metallic cats waving at visitors.
A cluster of Lucky Cat-designed telephones in the corner. Feline-themed
toilet paper rolls and ﬁnger puppets,
too.
Another clowder — that’s what
you call a group of cats — hails from
Hawaii. One is carved from lava rock.
All of them are throwing up a shaka
or hang loose sign.
A shelf shows an assortment of
matchbooks. One massive inﬂatable
greets at the door.
Some were constructed a century
ago. Others, earlier this year.
There are also myriad legends
around this folk hero, popular
since Japan’s Edo Period. That’s

CINCINNATI — This is not the one
you notice.
It’s one of a thousand collectibles in
this Essex Studios space and it’s not
the one that’s dancing. Or chatting in
Japanese at the push of a button.
It’s not the one covered in crystals
from claw-to-crown. It doesn’t even
have an eye-popping patterned complexion like ﬂowers or ﬂames.
This one isn’t even technically
gray. This cat’s coat is a worn-out
black. Posed on his hind legs, he’s a
bit scraggy and a lot lanky. Parts are
missing, one ear is chipped.
His left paw is raised.
That is what makes him the one.
That beckoning paw turns this feline
ﬁgurine into a beloved talisman.
It is Micha Robertson’s ﬁrst manekineko, or Lucky Cat statue. In 2002,
it was an impulse buy at the Cheviot
Goodwill. Today, it is the bedrock of
Robertson’s Lucky Cat Museum, an
ever-growing display of the Japanese
charms that opened four years ago.
“For me, one of the big draws is
that is such a basic idea: It’s a cat
with its paw up,” Robertson said. “So
many people interpret it in so many
different ways. It can be shaped to ﬁt
all sorts of different themes and ideas
and feelings. It’s just kind of amazing.”
And as her personal collection
grows, so does the museum. They are,
in fact, the same thing.
Last month, it moved into a ﬁrstﬂoor space almost twice as large as its
previous spot in Essex Studios. Once
just by-appointment-only, the free gallery and gift shop is now open a few
hours a day, ﬁve days a week.
With each addition comes a new
variation on the charm. Robertson
owns so many forms of this fortune
cat that the museum is organized
around different themes, styles and
sizes, materials and meanings.
Almost all come from online auctions and ship from Japan. But she’s
never been to the Lucky Cat’s native
country. With ﬁngers crossed,
Robertson hopes that trip is on the
horizon. And there is room for her
and a full shipping container on that

Rio volleyball
tied for 5th in
preseason poll
By Randy Payton
URG Sports Information

FLORENCE, Ky. - The University
of Rio Grande has been tabbed as
the No. 3 pick in the East Division
and is tied with Indiana University
Southeast for ﬁfth place overall in
the 2016 River States Conference
Volleyball Preseason Coaches’ Poll.
The RedStorm, who ﬁnished 26-8
overall and 8-4 in the Kentucky
Intercollegiate Athletic Conference
last season, tied IU Southeast with
82 points in balloting of the league’s
head coaches.
Rio Grande will open its regular
season schedule this weekend in
Miami Gardens, Fla. at the STU
Classic hosted by St. Thomas University. The RedStorm will face
Florida Memorial and Warner (Fla.)
on Friday, while tangling with the
host Bobcats and Doane (Neb.) on
Saturday.
Indiana University Kokomo was
the consensus favorite in the poll.
The Cougars claimed the top
spot - the ﬁrst time any IU Kokomo
team has ever topped a conference
preseason poll - after voting was
conducted from the league’s 12 volleyball head coaches. IU Kokomo
received the maximum number of
11 ﬁrst-place votes and 121 points in
the voting. Coaches were not permitted to vote for their own teams.
IU Kokomo had a very impressive
season in 2015 with a record of 34-5
overall, 11-1 conference and a KIAC
Tournament championship. The
Cougars made their ﬁrst appearance
in the NAIA National Championship
Opening Round and battled yearly
national power Madonna (Mich.)
before beforing bowing out of
nationals.
The River States Conference was
formerly known as the Kentucky
Intercollegiate Athletic Conference
but underwent a re-branding effective July 1, 2016.
The volleyball standings will be
divided into River States Conference
East and West Divisions in 2016,
each with six teams. IU Kokomo was
picked as the preseason favorite in
the West Division, and Point Park
(Pa.) University was picked as the
favorite in the East Division.
Point Park was the KIAC Tournament runner-up to IU Kokomo last
year, which resulted in the third trip
to the NAIA national tournament
in a ﬁve-year span for the Pioneers.
Point Park was 17-24 overall, 9-3
KIAC in 2015 and garnered 105

Stadium in Huntington, W.Va.

Marshall looking to reload
By Bryan Walters
bwalters@civitasmedia.com

HUNTINGTON, W.Va.
— Great programs don’t
rebuild, they simply reload.
After three straight 10-win
seasons and bowl victories
to cap off a trio of successful campaigns, the Marshall
University football program
is aiming for more of the
same in 2016.
The Thundering Herd
followed up their only Conference USA championship
season in 2014 with a 10-3
overall mark last fall, which
included a 6-2 ﬁnish and a
second place tie with Middle
Tennessee State in the East
Division.
Marshall also captured the
program’s 10th bowl victory
in its last 11 chances with
a 16-10 decision over Connecticut in the St. Petersburg Bowl — the program’s
ﬁfth straight triumph in
bowl appearances.
The Herd suffered signiﬁcant losses on both sides of
the ball due to graduation
and early departures, but
seventh-year MU coach Doc
Holliday (50-28) believes
that the 2016 gridiron season has the potential to be
just as successful as year’s
past.
That is, as long as his players are willing to do their
collective parts.
“Our standards and expectations are always high here,
and we don’t ever go into a
season not expecting to win
a championship,” Holliday
said. “We have good players
and good coaches and we
must continue to develop.
We also cannot forget what
has gotten us to where we
are.
“We just have to keep
working hard, not get complacent and keep holding
each other accountable. If
we can do those things, we
have a chance to be successful this fall.”
The Herd lost signiﬁcant
contributors to from a year
ago, most notably linebacker
Evan McKelvey — who
accounted for a team-high
121 tackles while earning
C-USA Defensive Player of
the Year honors.
In fact, Marshall will be
missing six of its top 10
tacklers from a season ago,
as well as its leading rusher
(Devon Johnson) and its top
two receivers in Davonte
Allen and Deandre Reaves.
The current group of
cornerbacks have one start
combined between them,
and special teams also took
a hit with the losses of punter Tyler Williams and long
snapper Matt Cincotta.
There are a few question
marks as to who will be stepping in to ﬁll those roles, but
Holliday also believes that
his returning players can
help bridge the gap in the
early part of the year.
“We lost a lot of production on both sides of the
ball, but we also have a lot

of players coming back that
can help replace that production,” Holliday said. “We just
have to work hard to make
sure that that happens.”
The Green and White
do have their fair share of
strengths in 2016, which
includes solid lines on both
sides of the ball, the team’s
top scoring threat in the
passing game and three of
the team’s top ﬁve rushers
from a year ago.
The Herd will also have a
productive sophomore quarterback with a season under
his belt, a handful of tested
wideouts and a reliable kicking game to throw into the
mix of positives.
Getting everybody to buy
in to this year’s approach has
been the early goal for Holliday and his staff. So far, he
has liked what he has seen.
“The kids are in good
shape and we’ve had a week
to go through some things,”
Holliday said. “The kids
look good, but we have a
long way to go. We just have
to keep working hard every
day and keep getting better.”
After averaging 31.3
points per game last fall, the
biggest strength of the Herd
appears to be on the offensive side of the ball.

of 231-of-384 passing for
2,608 yards to go along with
23 touchdowns and only
eight interceptions as a true
freshman last fall.
Holliday is hoping for
even more from his signalcaller in 2016, especially
with his progression in the
last 12 months.
“Any time you play a
freshman quarterback, you
expect to go through some
growing pains,” Holliday
said. “He’s matured a lot in
the last year and he’s had a
great offseason. He’s got the
intangibles and he’s a lot further ahead than he was this
time a year ago.”
Litton was also beneﬁt
from having tight end Ryan
Yurachek return as a target.
The junior led MU last year
with nine touchdown grabs
and hauled in 44 passes for
417 yards.
Wideouts Deon-Tay
McManus, Justin Hunt and
Emanuel Byrd all had at
least 19 catches and 200plus yards of receiving last
fall, with McManus leading
that trio with 36 receptions
for 337 yards. Hunt also led
the group with four touchdowns grabs.
Another boost for the
offense came in the form of
a rare sixth year of eligibility
for tackle Clint Van Horn,
one of four starters return-

experience and leadership
will not only help at the
point of attack, but also in
the locker room and beyond.
“He just brings so much
toughness and leadership
to this football team,” Holliday said. “He’s just a good
football player and a good
leader, and we’re glad to
have him back.”
The Herd will have a
variety of options and experience at the running back
position, with at least four
players expecting to take
on signiﬁcant roles in the
ground attack.

poll.
IU East was picked third overall in the preseason poll
with 98 points and is coming off a season of 24-15, 10-2
KIAC. The Red Wolves were picked second in the East
Division and had an appearance in the KIAC Tournament semiﬁnals last year.
Asbury (Ky.) University was 21-14 overall, 9-3 KIAC
as another 20-win team and took fourth place overall
in the preseason poll. The Eagles received 83 points in
the league voting and were predicted third in the West
Division.
Next up and not far behind are Rio Grande and IU
Southeast, with 82 points each. IU Southeast, 18-17
overall, 8-4 KIAC, earned a spot in the KIAC Tournament semiﬁnals a year ago. IU Southeast was picked
second in the West Division.

especially with him being a bigger back,” Holliday said.
“Hyleck (Foster) was very versatile and both (Tony) Pittman and (Keone) Davis were able to get a lot of experience when Rock went down last year, so I feel like we
have some playmaking options at the position.”
Redshirt junior Nick Smith led MU in scoring in 2015
after connecting on 18-of-25 ﬁeld goal attempts and all
28 of his point-after tries.
Defensively, the Herd’s biggest strength will come
from the trenches — most notably in the form of redshirt senior Gary Thompson. Thompson led the MU
defense last year with 12.5 tackles for loss and nine
sacks to go along with 59 total tackles.
Redshirt sophomore Ryan Bee and redshirt junior
Blake Keller also bring a combined 98 tackles — including 14 for loss — and four sacks back to the frontline.
Senior Devontre-a Tyler is one of the few experienced
linebackers coming back after producing 51 tackles and
a sack last fall, while senior safety Tiquan Lang trailed
on McKelvin in tackles after posting solid stats of 91
tackles and two interceptions — both of which resulted
in touchdowns.
Junior safety Kendall Gant (39 tackles, 2 INTs) and
redshirt junior cornerback Rodney Allen (29 tackles, 3
INTs) will also bring some experience to the secondary.
“I think the strength of our defense will be our ability
to run. Our defensive front is very athletic and has some
depth,” Holliday said. “We lost a lot of production at our
linebacking positions, but I also feel like we have some
guys back there that have the potential to replace that
production. The secondary is also young, but it’s going
to be talented.”
Of Marshall’s 16 All-Conference USA selections from
a season ago, only Bee, Yurachek, Thompson, Lang
and senior offensive lineman Michael Selby are returning. Selby, Van Horn, Yurachek and Thompson have
also been nominated as preseason C-USA choices for
2016.
The Thundering Herd will have only 14 seniors on
the roster this fall, and that group will play a key role in
how successful things end up going.
“The thing I can say over the last few seasons is that
our seniors have played their best football … and we
need to have that happen again,” Holliday said. “There
aren’t that many seniors on this roster, but the ones we
do have will have to play well.”
Marshall will have a nice luxury in its 2016 schedule,
with seven of its dozen contests slated to happen in the
friendly conﬁnes of Joan C. Edwards Stadium — including its ﬁrst three of the season and ﬁve of its ﬁrst seven
overall.
The Herd will face a tough non-conference stretch
against the likes of Morgan State, Akron and Louisville
to open the home season before traveling to Pittsburgh
for its ﬁnal tuneup before C-USA action.
MU should certainly be seasoned and tested before
league play begins, but Holliday is conﬁdent that facing
tough competition will only make the Green and White
a better team as the year progresses.
“We’ll embrace our tough schedule, but right now we
just have to get better as a football team,” Holliday said.
“The good thing is that we have seven of them at home,
so we will just have to prepare and make sure that we
are ready to go.”
Marshall has never had four consecutive 10-win
seasons at the Division I level, but Holliday notes that
achieving such a feat would be just another step in the
right direction for the program.
Holliday — who is a perfect 4-0 in bowl games as MU
head coach — would also like to see the program take
another step closer to reaching the six straight bowl
appearances achieved between 1997 and 2002, which
currently serves as best in school history.
“We have high expectations here and I don’t want
to be anywhere that expectations aren’t that way. Fortunately, expectations are high here and that’s a good
thing,” Holliday said. “This was the winningest college
football program in the Nineties, and hopefully we can
continue to get it back to where it was.”
The Thundering Herd begin the 2016 campaign at
6 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 10, when they welcome Morgan
State in a non-conference contest.

By Alex Hawley

To be the man, you have to beat the man, and for

Hocking Division, Trimble has been the man.
The Tomcats — who enter this season with a
31-game league winning streak and three consecutive TVC Hocking titles — were chosen as the
unanimous favorite to win the nine-team league yet
again, in a preseason media poll conducted by the
Ohio Valley Publishing sports department.
THS received all six of the ﬁrst place votes, ﬁnishing with a point total of 54. Waterford — which

for fourth with Miller — was a unanimous second
place pick, ﬁnishing with 48 points in the poll.
Third in the poll was Belpre, which went 7-1 in
the league last year, for the Golden Eagles’ bestever TVC Hocking record. Belpre received four
third place votes and two fourth place votes, making the Golden Eagles’ total 40.

Gallia Academy’s Blue Angels compete in 2 golf matches
By Paul Boggs

GALLIPOLIS, Ohio — The
Gallia Academy girls golf team
took part in a pair of dual matches last week, including on Thursday in which it hosted Waterford
in an 18-hole match at Cliffside
Golf Club.
The Blue Angels, in their third
match of the season and ﬁrst on
the home course in Gallipolis,
shot a 441 with Waterford ﬁring
a 378.
Five of the six Blue Angels on
the roster competed on Thursday, led by Kimberly Edelmann,
who was the medalist runner-up
with a 95.
She was the only Blue Angel
under 100, with the other three

counting scores being Molly
Fitzwater with a 109, Breanna
Justice with a 114 and Sydney
Crothers with a 123.
Katie Fraley, the ﬁfth Gallia
Academy score and only noncounting card, posted a 141.
Waterford was led by match
medalist Abby Eichmiller with
an 86.
The Wildcats were state qualiﬁers in girls golf a year ago.
On Wednesday, the Blue
Angels invaded Crown Hill Golf
Club — and played a nine-hole
dual tilt with Westfall.
The host Mustangs prevailed
193-229, as both teams battled
through a rain-soaked course in
which water affected both the
fairways and greens.
Edelmann managed medalist

runner-up honors in that match
also, shooting a 46 and birdieing
the short par-4 sixth hole.
She drove the green and twoputted for the birdie.
Justice followed her with a 52,
while Fitzwater wound up with
a 56.
The fourth counting card was
a 75, as a trio of Blue Angels —
Fraley, Crothers and Carley Johnson — amassed that number.
Westfall was led by medalist
Ella Seeley with a 43, as Piper
Lewis, Lauren Martin and Cierra

FLORENCE, Ky. — Asbury (Ky.) University edged
out a crowded top half of the 2016 River States Conference Women’s Soccer Preseason Coaches’ Poll to
claim preseason favorite honors, the league ofﬁce
announced on Friday.
Asbury, which claimed ﬁrst place in the regular
season last year at 12-5-1 overall and 7-1 conference,
received the most points and a league-high four ﬁrstplace votes in the polling of the conference head
coaches.
The nine ﬁrst-place votes were spread among four
different teams, and the top four teams were separated by just eight points in the voting. Asbury’s 57
points edged out Point Park (Pa.) University with
53 points (2 ﬁrst-place votes), the University of Rio
Grande (Ohio) with 51 points (1 ﬁrst-place vote) and
WVU Tech with 49 points (2 ﬁrst-place votes).
The River States Conference was formerly known as
the Kentucky Intercollegiate Athletic Conference but
changed its name in a rebranding effort effective July
1, 2016.
The top four teams in the preseason poll reﬂect the
KIAC Tournament semiﬁnalists from last year. Point
Park came out on top as KIAC Tournament champion
after beating Rio Grande in the semis and WVU Tech
in the ﬁnals. WVU Tech reached the ﬁnals with a
semiﬁnal upset at Asbury.
Point Park won its ﬁrst conference title and made
its ﬁrst NAIA National Championship Opening Round
appearance last year. The Pioneers were 12-7-2 overall, 6-2 KIAC and ended the year in the “receiving
votes” category of the NAIA Top 25 Poll.
Rio Grande’s KIAC Tournament semiﬁnal appearance came along with a ﬁnal record of 8-10 overall, 6-2
KIAC last year. WVU Tech had the most overall wins
in the conference with a record of 14-6 overall, 5-3
KIAC in 2015. The Golden Bears reached the conference ﬁnals as the No. 4 seed.
Ohio Christian University would have been a playoff
team last year at 11-9 overall, 5-3 KIAC, but the Trailblazers were not eligible for conference or national
postseason as ﬁrst-year NAIA members. OCU took
ﬁfth place in this year’s preseason poll with 35 points.
Cincinnati Christian University is sixth in the poll
and received 26 points. The Eagles are coming off a
season of 5-13 overall, 3-5 KIAC. Carlow (Pa.) University is right behind in seventh place with 25 points
after a 7-9, 3-5 KIAC campaign in 2015.
Midway (Ky.) University (17 points) and Brescia
(Ky.) University (11 points) round out the preseason
voting in the nine-team conference. The top six teams
make the River States Conference Tournament, and
the champion automatically qualiﬁes for the NAIA
National Championship Opening Round.

Steelers defend Jones
after throwing 4
interceptions in loss
PITTSBURGH (AP) —
The Pittsburgh Steelers
didn’t put all the blame on
quarterback Landry Jones
for Thursday’s preseason
loss against Philadelphia.
Jones threw four ﬁrsthalf interceptions, including one that was returned
for a touchdown. But
the Steelers were quick
to defend their backup
quarterback following the
17-0 loss.
“Some of it was good
plays by them and some
of it was negligence by us,
whether it’s route-running
or throwing,” Steelers’
coach Mike Tomlin said.
“I understand that it falls
under his stat line, but
those are unit plays.”
Second-year wide
receiver Sammie Coates
took the blame for Jones’
ﬁrst interception. It
happened on the opening play of the Steelers’
second drive when Nolan
Carroll stepped in front
of a pass intended for
Coates and returned the
interception 38 yards
for a score. “I should’ve
come off that ball harder,”
Coates said. “It was all
my fault. Not on the quarterback at all.”
The second interception came at the end of
a lengthy drive that saw
Jones march the Steelers to the Philadelphia
8-yard line. Jones moved
the Steelers 71 yards in
14 plays, picking up two
third downs along the
way before a Cobi Hamilton fade was broken up
by Leodis McKelvin and
intercepted by Malcolm
Jenkins.
“It was a real good
throw,” Hamilton said.
“He couldn’t put it any
better. I just have to go up
and make the play.”
It was a similar story
on the third interception.
Jones moved the Steelers
60 yards on 10 plays, converting two more third
downs, but another pass
intended for Coates was
picked off in the end zone
by Aaron Grymes.
“I didn’t jump or do
anything,” Coates said.
“When the quarterback

gives you a chance to go
up and get the ball, you
have to make the play.”
Jones absorbed a heavy
hit and released a wobbly throw on the fourth
interception, an easy one
for Jaylen Watkins, who
camped under the throw.
Jones ﬁnished the game
12 of 20 for 111 yards
with his four turnovers.
“You can’t ever ﬁnd
comfort in those things,”
Jones said. “It was probably as bad as it looked
out there. You want to go
out there and put your
best foot forward and play
the way you know you’re
capable of playing.”
Jones, the Steelers’
2013 fourth-round pick,
took the bulk of the
snaps last season when
the Steelers played ﬁve
preseason games. It was
largely inconsistent at
times, as the former Oklahoma standout mixed
good and bad on the practice ﬁeld with several upand-down gameday showings. But the extended
preseason prepared Jones
for his ﬁrst meaningful
regular-season action last
season, as he ﬁlled in
when starter Ben Roethlisberger missed time
with a sprained MCL and
bruised tibia. Jones rallied the Steelers to victories against Arizona and
Oakland, but struggled
during a loss at Kansas
City.
That experience helped
Jones enter his fourth season with additional conﬁdence in his abilities and
more time under center.
Tomlin has preserved
Roethlisberger during
training camp practices
and sat his veteran quarterback for the ﬁrst two
preseason games, allowing more opportunities
for Jones.
Jones seemingly took
a step back Thursday,
throwing four interceptions in a losing effort.
Regardless, the 27-yearold quarterback plans to
take the most recent outing against the Eagles as
a learning experience and
grow from it.

By Bryan Walters
bwalters@civitasmedia.com

GALLIPOLIS, Ohio — A
lifelong passion can take you
places.
Former Gallia Academy standout and current St. Catharine
College sophomore Cole Tawney
recently enjoyed a once in a lifetime wrestling experience after
participating in an excursion
to Russia as part of the 2016
Freestyle Wrestling Invitational
Tour.
Tawney — a three-time state
qualiﬁer and three-time SEOAL
champion while at GAHS —
spent two weeks in the heart of
the old Soviet Union as a member of the Brian Church USA
Wrestling club, whose coach
is Silver Level certiﬁed and a
veteran tour leader with USA
Wrestling.
During those 14 days, Tawney
met some of the best wrestlers
from his own country while also
competing against some of the
ﬁnest grapplers on the Asian
continent.
This trip was meant to serve
not only as a test between
some of the best wrestlers on
the planet, but also to allow all
who participated in the event to
appreciate the universal respect
between the competitors.
The cost of the experience
wasn’t cheap, as Tawney had to
produce close to $3,000 for his
two weeks in Russia. Thanks to
extra help from his hometown,
he was able to fulﬁll a more than
memorable dream.
“This trip really helped me
in a lot of ways,” Tawney said.
“The ﬁrst thing I learned was
how much my hometown had
my back in helping me with
donations for this trip. It also
helped me with my wrestling
because I learned quite a few
things over there that I am
eager to try using in the upcoming season.
“Also, in being over there as a
competitor, I was able to learn a
lot more about the Russian culture than say a normal tourist
in a hotel might learn. It really
opened my eyes to see some of
the differences between our two
cultures, but it was deﬁnitely an
experience that will always stay
with me.”
In discussing some of the differences between the United
States and Russia, a few everyday things immediately popped

Submitted photo

into his mind … rather it be lack
of ice for cold drinks or the fact
that instead of hot dog stands
in public venues, the Russians
sold corn on the cob wrapped in
bacon.
He also noted that the very
ﬁrst thing he wanted when he
returned to the state was an ice
cold water.
But, as rough as some of
that may sound, his two weeks
wasn’t all bad. In fact, between
the sightseeing tours and some
of his accommodations … it was
exactly the opposite.
It also helped that wrestling is
a fan-favorite sport in Russia.
“It wasn’t all rough. I remember staying at one of the coach’s
mansions and it was close to a
four million dollar home, complete with therapy equipment
and training facilities,” Tawney
said. “Another time we stayed
at a place that was built around
a large cut-down oak tree, and
that stump served like a picnic
table. All the food was set out
on it and we all just sat around
it like a dinner table.
“The Russian community
really loves wrestling, and we
were treated like royalty during our time there. We get off
the train or our of a car and not
once did I ever have to carry my
bags. I just remember feeling
very respected and it was a cool
experience, no doubt.”
Tawney also got a taste of
foreign culture one night following a day of competition, which
ended up being something that
he may or may not volunteer for
again if given the chance.
“There is a Russian tradition
where they slap you on the back

with birch leaves to help alleviate pain and stress,” Tawney
said. “Honestly, it’s not the most
pleasant feeling at the time …
but I absolutely did feel better
the next day.”
Between visiting historic
landmarks such as The Kremlin,
shopping in Moscow and also
taking a tour to St. Petersburg,
Tawney was able to take in such
sights that so few from the United States will ever see.
As much as he enjoyed that
part of the trip, however, he said
the one constant — the most
gratifying thing to come away
with — was the competition he
shared with his opponents from
another land.
“I know I am biased, but I feel
very blessed to have been able
to meet so many different people from all walks of life and still
know that all of our differences
didn’t matter once we got on the
mat,” Tawney said. “To be able
to share the mat with another
wrestler is one of the greatest
bonds you can achieve in this
sport because each of us knows
what it took to get to where we
are.
“There is a lot of respect
earned in suffering through
a match with an opponent.
Regardless of where you are
from, it is that struggle that
leads to the bond that opponents
share. You learn a lot about
someone between hand shakes
before and after matches.”
Cole is majoring in Elementary Education at St. Catharine
College.

Hill’s early TD helps Bengals to 30-14 win over Lions
DETROIT (AP) — Jeremy
Hill scored a touchdown on
Cincinnati’s ﬁrst possession,
but that was it for the Bengals
when their top offensive players were in the game.
“I think we need to score
more points,” Hill said. “We
left too many on the ﬁeld when
we were out there. We did ﬁnish one drive, which we didn’t
do last week, but we need to do
a better job of converting third
downs.”
Hill ran for a 9-yard touchdown, and the Bengals went
on to a 30-14 victory over the
Detroit Lions on Thursday
night, but this was not a great
offensive show by either team’s
ﬁrst stringers. Cincinnati beneﬁted from a defensive touchdown and didn’t really put the
game away until the second
half.
Hill hurt his left hand in Cincinnati’s preseason opener last
week, but he had three carries
for 16 yards against the Lions
and also caught a pass.
Former Cincinnati wide
receiver Marvin Jones, signed
by the Lions in the offseason,
had four catches for 65 yards
against his former team.
“It was neat seeing them,”
Jones said. “Those are the guys
I’ve gone against every day for
four years, so it was good to
kind of be on the other side
and go against them.”
Detroit’s Matthew Stafford
was 8 of 11 for 113 yards,
but the Lions went without a
touchdown until the ﬁnal minute of the game.
Cincinnati’s Derron Smith
returned an interception 60
yards for a touchdown in the
second quarter.
Andy Dalton was 7 of 9 for
78 yards for the Bengals.

In the ﬁrst quarter Thursday
when the top players were in,
the Lions passed for 103 yards
and rushed for 14.
“I think across the board,
I don’t think we did a lot of
things well,” Detroit coach Jim
Caldwell said. “I don’t think we
tackled well, I don’t think we
ran the ball well, I don’t think
we stopped the run very well.
So we’ve got work to do.”
Rookies
Bengals: WR Tyler Boyd
continues to impress. After
a 40-yard catch in last week’s
game, he made a nice diving
grab of Dalton’s pass for a
26-yard gain on Cincinnati’s
ﬁrst possession. Boyd later
caught a 12-yard touchdown
pass from AJ McCarron with
12 seconds left in the ﬁrst half.
“That’s why he’s here — he’s
supposed to make plays,” Cincinnati coach Marvin Lewis
said. “He’s a smart kid who
understands how to play this
game, and he’s done a good
job of taking advantage of the
opportunities he’s getting.”
Lions: TE Cole Wick was
beaten by a pass rusher in the
ﬁrst quarter on a play in which
Stafford was hit and fumbled,
but he also had two catches for
26 yards.
Injury update
Bengals: T Jake Fisher
walked off slowly in the ﬁrst
half with a sprained right
ankle. He took over at RT after
Cedric Ogbuehi injured his toe
last week, so now Cincinnati’s
depth could be tested even
further.
Lions: The absences of TE
Eric Ebron and LB DeAndre
Levy weren’t huge surprises,
and Detroit didn’t appear to
have any major health issues
among those who played.

Griffin throws 2 TD passes in Browns’ 24-13 loss to Falcons
CLEVELAND (AP) — Robert Grifﬁn III gave the Cleveland Browns some
hope with a strong home debut.
Grifﬁn threw two touchdown passes
in the ﬁrst half in the Browns’ 24-13
exhibition loss to the Atlanta Falcons
on Thursday night.
Grifﬁn found wide receiver Terrelle
Pryor streaking down the right sideline
on Cleveland’s second drive of the game
for a 50-yard scoring strike. Grifﬁn connected with tight end Gary Barnridge
for a 22-yard touchdown pass in the
second quarter.
“Those were two great plays,” Grifﬁn
said. “TP running by a guy and making
a play and Gary making an amazing
catch. We were able to get things clicking a little bit working the long ball”
Grifﬁn signed with the Browns (0-2)
after being released by Washington. He
was 6 of 8 for 96 yards in four series,
and ran for 36 yards on three carries —
including a 22-yarder.
Devonta Freeman scored on a 19-yard
run to cap Atlanta’s ﬁrst drive. Matt
Ryan played three series and completed
6 of 11 passes for 78 yards.
Atlanta (2-0) trailed 13-10 at halftime,

Injury update
Falcons: PK Nick Rose handled all

than we were in the ﬁrst week. We
made some plays in the passing game
and we ran the ball well.” — Ryan on
the offense.
Browns: “As a receiver, if the ball
is anywhere in your area you try and
make the catch. It was a good ball, great

protection.” — Pryor on his touchdown
catch.
Oops
C Cam Erving ﬁred a shotgun snap
over Grifﬁn’s head in the second quarter, sending the quarterback racing
for the ball. Grifﬁn recovered for what
would have been a 24-yard loss, but
had his facemask grabbed by linebacker
Sean Weatherspoon.
“I don’t want to have to coach that,
but it’s something we have to ﬁx,”
Browns coach Hue Jackson said. “That
was disappointing to have the ball go
over the quarterback’s head.”
Falcons debut
Veteran DE Dwight Freeney, signed
last week, played his ﬁrst game with
Atlanta after signing last week.
“It’s hard to get the rust off,” he said.
“I got about six to eight plays. I felt a
little rusty, but that’s what preseason is
for.”

Weber undaunted by replacing Elliott in Ohio State backfield
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) —
If Jim Harbaugh had his way,
Mike Weber would be running
around in maize and blue this
summer instead of preparing
to be the starting tailback for
hated rival Ohio State.
Coming out of Detroit’s Cass
Tech High School as a four-star
recruit in 2015, Weber committed to play for Michigan
coach Brady Hoke. But after
Hoke was ﬁred, he changed
his mind and chose Ohio State
following a feverish recruiting
battle between Harbaugh and
Buckeyes coach Urban Meyer.
Harbaugh said losing Weber at
the last minute left a bruise.
In Columbus, Weber was redshirted last year after a knee

injury in training camp and told
to soak up all he could from
Ezekiel Elliott, one of Ohio
State’s greatest ball carriers.
Elliott left after the season and
was a ﬁrst-round pick by the
Dallas Cowboys. Then Weber’s
chief competition at tailback,
ﬁfth-year senior Bri’onte Dunn,
was kicked off the team for
breaking the rules.
That cleared the path for
Weber, who now will get
his chance to be the next
marquee back in a program
that produced Eddie George,
Archie Grifﬁn and Howard
“Hopalong” Cassady — it’s a
job Meyer calls “a Cadillac position in sports.” His teammates
call the 5-foot-10, 210-pound

Weber “Baby ‘Los,” because his
aggressive, bruising running
style is reminiscent of Carlos
Hyde, who ran for nearly 3,200
yards at Ohio State before
going to the NFL in 2014.
No pressure, right?
“I really just go out there,
play my hardest,” Weber said.
“I know people compare me
from recent backs that we
had. We had some great backs
out here. I used to be worried
about trying to live up to those
standards, but really I’m just
now focused on being myself
and doing everything I can to
help this team win.”
Coaches acknowledge that
Weber alone probably won’t
be able to make people forget

Elliott, who not only ran for
more than 3,900 yards and 43
touchdowns in three seasons
but also was a superb pass
blocker. Meyer has said the
H-backs, particularly Curtis
Samuel, will carry the ball this
season, and Antonio Williams,
a freshman who enrolled early
and participated in spring practice, also will be in the mix at
running back.
Quarterback J.T. Barrett likes
what he sees from Weber so far.
“He’s low to the ground,”
Barrett said. “I think he’s a
hard runner, but it’s hard to get
at his legs because he’s so low.
Being behind Zeke for a year
… you see that playing running
back it doesn’t matter if you’re

blocking, running, blocking for
me, all these different things,
you just have to go at a high
tempo all the time. And I think
he’s deﬁnitely learned that from
Zeke, which is going to come
out in his game.”
The redshirt year, besides
helping Weber mature, also
gave him a chance to work on
his body and ﬁtness. Strength
coach Mickey Marotti helped
him develop a workout and
nutrition plan, and the transformation was dramatic,
evident in the side-by-side
“before” and “after” photos
Weber posted on social media.
Meyer put it this way: “A little
fat kid turns into a good-looking running back.”

USA men’s hoops gets by Spain, will play Serbia for gold
victory Friday, another tight matchup
between the teams that met in the last
two championship games.
Klay Thompson scored 22 points for
the Americans, who will play Serbia
on Sunday for their third consecutive
Olympic title. Serbia beat Australia
87-61 in the second semiﬁnal.
“This is where we wanted to be,”
Kevin Durant said. “We talked about
it all summer and to be here for the
ﬁnal game, to win the gold, for all the
marbles, we like our chances.”

The Americans pulled away to win
118-107 in 2008 and held on for a 107100 victory in London, but the defenses
made their mark in this one. The U.S.
was just good enough again against
Spain, with bodies falling more than
shots and several technical fouls keeping the teams from ﬁnding an offensive
ﬂow.
It certainly wasn’t pretty, but Olympic
gold never loses its luster.
“It’s an amazing feeling now,” center
DeAndre Jordan said. “We really want

to accomplish this.”
It was the lowest-scoring game for the
Americans in the Olympics since the
2004 semiﬁnals, when they managed 81
in a loss to Argentina.
But Jordan made his presence felt
in the middle with 16 rebounds and
four blocked shots to go with his nine
points.
Durant added 14 points on the day he
moved past LeBron James into second
place on the U.S. Olympic career scoring list. Kyrie Irving had 13 for the U.S.
