TODAY IN HISTORY
Today is Friday,
Nov. 25, the 330th day
of 2016. There are 36
days left in the year.
Today’s Highlight in
History:
On Nov. 25, 1920,
radio station WTAW
of College Station,
Texas, broadcast
the ﬁrst play-by-play
description of a football game, between
Texas University and
the Agricultural and
Mechanical College
of Texas. (Texas won,
7-3.)
On this date:
In 1783, the British
evacuated New York,
their last military
position in the United
States during the
Revolutionary War.
In 1864, during the
Civil War, Confederate agents set a series
of arson ﬁres in New
York; the blazes were
quickly extinguished.
In 1915, a new version of the Ku Klux
Klan, targeting blacks,
Jews, Catholics and
immigrants, was
founded by William
Joseph Simmons, who
proclaimed himself
Imperial Wizard as he
staged a cross-burning
on Stone Mountain
outside Atlanta.
In 1940, the cartoon
character Woody
Woodpecker made his
debut in the animated
short “Knock Knock”
produced by Walter
Lantz.
In 1947, movie
studio executives
meeting in New York
agreed to blacklist
the “Hollywood Ten”
who’d been cited for
contempt of Congress
the day before.
In 1957, President
Dwight D. Eisenhower suffered a slight
stroke.
In 1963, the body of

President John F. Kennedy was laid to rest
at Arlington National
Cemetery; his widow,
Jacqueline, lighted an
“eternal ﬂame” at the
gravesite.
In 1974, former
U.N. SecretaryGeneral U Thant (oo
thahnt) died in New
York at age 65.
In 1986, the IranContra affair erupted
as President Ronald
Reagan and Attorney
General Edwin Meese
revealed that proﬁts
from secret arms
sales to Iran had been
diverted to Nicaraguan rebels.
In 1999, 5-year-old
Elian Gonzalez was
rescued by a pair of
sport ﬁshermen off
the coast of Florida,
setting off an international custody battle.
In 2001, as the
war in Afghanistan
entered its eighth
week, CIA ofﬁcer
Johnny “Mike” Spann
was killed during
a prison uprising
in Mazar-e-Sharif,
becoming America’s
ﬁrst combat casualty
of the conﬂict.
In 2002, President
George W. Bush
signed legislation creating the Department
of Homeland Security,
and appointed Tom
Ridge to be its head.
Ten years ago: A
police shooting outside a strip club in
Queens, New York,
resulted in the death
of Sean Bell hours
before his wedding.
(Two ofﬁcers were
later indicted for manslaughter while a third
faced lesser charges;
all three were acquitted at trial.) Israel
and the Palestinians
agreed to a cease-ﬁre
to end a ﬁve-month
Israeli military offensive in the Gaza Strip

and the ﬁring of
rockets by Palestinian
militants into the Jewish state.
Five years ago: The
U.S. increased pressure Friday on Egypt’s
military rulers to
hand over power to
civilian leaders, and
the generals turned to
Kamal el-Ganzouri, a
Mubarak-era politician
to head a new government in a move that
failed to satisfy more
than 100,000 protesters jamming Tahrir
Square. Former New
York Times political
reporter and columnist Tom Wicker, 85,
died in Rochester,
Vermont.
One year ago: Vice
President Joe Biden
attended an urgent
summit of southeast
European leaders
in Zagreb, Croatia,
focusing on tensions
and security concerns over a surge of
asylum-seekers and
migrants crossing the
region. Pope Francis
arrived in Kenya on
his ﬁrst-ever trip
to Africa and urged
Kenyans to work for
peace and forgiveness amid a wave of
extremist violence
on the continent that
threatened to disrupt
his trip.

A HUNGER FOR MORE

Lessons in
Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving is an
enormously wonderful time to stop and
intentionally offer up
the praise of a heart full
of gratitude to the One
Who has not only created us, but surrounded
us with an abundance of
blessings. How tremendous also is the privilege
of honoring our being
blessed by God by using
our abundance to bless
others, as we pour the
overﬂow of God’s grace
from our lives into the
lives of others around us!
On the other hand, if
your holiday season is
characterized by difﬁculty and loss, Thanksgiving may seem an especially difﬁcult occasion
to express
thanks.
After all, it
isn’t easy
in your
human
nature to
be grateThom
ful when
Mollohan you are

or burdened by
your circumstances.
Nor is it easy when the
uncertainty of the future
wheels over your head
like a giant bat of worry
casting its dark shadow
of fearfulness over your
path in life. Neither are
we quick to be grateful
when pain or loss come
to roost in our homes.
But take heart! It is
no trite thing to say and
believe that “God is in
control!” You have One
in your corner Who is
bigger than the universe,
cheering for you even if
no one else is. In a day
when a lot of people
felt forgotten by God,
Jesus came along and
announced that “My
Father is working until
now, and I (also) am
working” (John 5:17
ESV). Human nature
hasn’t changed all that
much: we still wrestle
with that same doubt,
the same temptation
to think that God has
forgotten us, the same
inclination towards
despair when we’ve used

“But take heart! It

up all the “liquor of selfsufﬁciency.”
In the early 1600s
a young man named
Squanto (also called
“Tisquantum”), a member of the Patuxet tribe
of Native Americans
along what is now the
coast of Massachusetts,
was tricked and kidnapped by an English
captain named Thomas
Hunt. Along with 23
other Patuxet and Nauset Indians, he was cruelly treated and stowed
down in the dark and
dank hold of a ship and
taken to Maluga, Spain,
where Hunt attempted
to sell them all into
slavery. Some local
Friars in Maluga, learning of Hunt’s plot, took
Squanto into their care
by which they “disappointed this unworthy
fellow (Captain Hunt)
of the hopes of gain he
conceived to make by
this new and devilish
project.”
Although far from
home and his loved
ones, Squanto learned
about hope in Christ
as he was taught from
the Bible and as he witnessed the loving and
selﬂess work of those in
whose care he resided.
Eventually these Christians found a way to
get him started towards
home and secured him
a place to stay in England. While staying in
the home of John Slaney
in London, he attended
church and learned the
English language. In
1619, he returned to
North America accompanying an English
trading expedition.

But, remembering the
sight of that dog trapped
and dying still breaks my
heart, for it typiﬁes in a
most poignant way the
dire spiritual straits of
the human condition.
All around us are people trapped and dying.
Their lives characterize
a heated pursuit of sin.
And, sooner or later,
they become trapped.
They struggle to free
themselves. Yet, they
are wedged in so tightly
that escape is seemingly
impossible.
Then, sets in the terror
of dying in such a trap.
They call out for help.
Others hear their pleas
for help. Yet, these others only wish the noise
would cease, because it
is disturbing and discomforting. AFTER ALL,
THEY HAVE THEIR
OWN HUNT ABOUT
WHICH TO BE CONCERNED.
But, thank God for the

Savior who has heard
their calls. The Savior
goes searching for the
trapped and dying, for it
is He who has the necessary compassion for
their trapped and dying
situation. The Savior
stoops to break apart the
trap, and victoriously
sets them free from a life
of slow death.
Apostle Paul clariﬁed
it, “Thanks be to God for
His unspeakable gift.”
Let every born-again
believer in Jesus Christ
remember our spiritual
circumstance was not so
different from that of the
trapped and dying coonhound. But, we were
saved and set free by our
Savior Jesus Christ, who
is full of love and compassion for us.
That coonhound had
been at the point of
death. But, when set free
from his wooden tomb,
he made it quite clear
how grateful he was. As
a matter fact, I could not
get rid of him!
By contrast, it is worth
noting how Thanksgiving Day should include a
reverent appreciation to
God for setting us free
from our own trapped
and dying circumstances.

clicking as

arrive
COLUMBUS, Ohio
(AP) — When Ohio
State’s passing game was
sputtering last month, J.T.
Barrett kept saying everything was OK. Even after
the loss to unranked Penn
State, the quarterback
insisted no big changes
were necessary and the
offense was on track.
The quiet Texan’s conﬁdence and patience paid
dividends.
The Buckeyes went out
and routed then-No. 10
Nebraska 62-3 to open
November and swamped
Maryland by the same
score a week later, with
Barrett throwing for 680
yards and six touchdowns
in the two games.
The wind blew down
Ohio State’s passing
attack last week against
Michigan State, but the
Buckeyes escaped with a
17-16 win. Mike Weber
rushed for 111 yards and
a touchdown, and Barrett ran for 105 yards
and threw a 24-yard
touchdown pass to Curtis
Samuel.
No. 2 Ohio State is
preparing to face the
best defense it’s seen all
season in No. 3 Michigan
on Saturday, with terriﬁc
linebacker/defensive back
Jabrill Peppers, a gamechanger who has to be
accounted for on every
play, and perhaps the
nation’s best secondary.
Michigan leads the nation
in limiting opponents to
245.6 yards per game.
“We have a respect
for them,” wide receiver
Terry McLaurin said.
“Just watching a couple
of clips within the last
couple of days, the press
man, they’re going to load
a lot of the box and as
a group we have to beat
man coverage. That’s why
you come to Ohio State.
That’s why they recruit
you, to come beat man
coverage.”
While Barrett spread
the ball around earlier in
the season, Ohio State’s
offensive resurgence has
been built around the
dual-threat quarterback;
Weber, who is the third
Ohio State freshman ever
to run for over 1,000
yards; and Samuel, a
hybrid back who runs the
ball and catches passes
with equal skill. Wide
receivers have become
mostly supporting players.
“We’ve got a lot of
different things in our
offense that allow us to
utilize all three of those
playmakers, and there’s
other guys, too,” center
Pat Elﬂein said. “Our
receivers are playing
well, they’re blocking
well, which allows for the
whole offense to open up.
As long as we keep doing
that, we’ll hit our shots
and we’ll keep playing
Buckeye ball like we have
been.”
Barrett said it begins
and ends with the play of
the offensive line. During
the October swoon, the
line struggled in pass protection and Barrett was
constantly on the run.
Adjustments were made.

Waterford tops Hocking polls
By Alex Hawley
ahawley@civitasmedia.com

The Waterford Wildcats
ruled the Tri-Valley Conference
Hocking Division this fall, winning team titles in football, volleyball and golf. A preseason
media poll, conducted by the
Ohio Valley Publishing sports
department, suggests that
Waterford fans will enjoy the
winter months just as much.
The Waterford boys and girls
basketball teams were both
unanimously chosen to repeat
as league champions, each garnering all six ﬁrst place votes
for a perfect 54 points.
The Lady Wildcats completed their second straight perfect
run through the nine-team
league last winter en route to
their ﬁrst-ever state championship.
Finishing second in the girls
poll was Eastern, which is the
last TVC Hocking team to
defeat Waterford. The Lady
Eagles — who were second
in the league last year with a
13-3 record — ﬁnished with 46
points in the poll.
The Lady Tornadoes — who
were third in the league last
year with with a 12-4 mark —
received 42 points and ﬁnished

third in the poll.
Fourth in the girls poll was
Trimble with 33 points, followed by Belpre with 32. THS
was ﬁfth in the league last
year with an 8-8 record, while
the Lady Golden Eagles were
fourth with an 11-5 campaign.
South Gallia received 22
points and placed sixth in the
poll, the same spot that the
Lady Rebels ﬁnished in the
league last winter after a 5-11
campaign.
Federal Hocking —which
was seventh in the league last
year with a 4-12 record —was
picked to ﬁnish seventh again
after getting 20 poll points.
Miller was eighth in the
league last winter with a 3-13
record and received 15 poll
points, placing the Lady Falcons eighth.
Wahama — which hasn’t
won a league game in any
of the last three seasons —
received six poll points, placing the Lady Falcons ninth.
Following Waterford on
the boys side was 2015-16
co-champion Trimble, which
received 47 points. The Wildcats and Tomcats both posted
14-2 league records last winter.

Southern came in three

poll with 37 points. Southern’s

but the Purple and Gold had

no seniors on last year’s team.

Meigs’ Luke Musser (14) goes for a layup during the
Marauders’ 64-57 victory over Belpre on December 1,
2015 at Larry R. Morrison Gymnasium.

The Vinton County boys and Alexander
girls were picked to repeat as Tri-Valley
Conference Ohio Division champions, in
a preseason media poll, conducted by the
Ohio Valley Publishing sports department.
The Lady Spartans — who were one of
three teams to share the league crown last
year — received 45 poll points and ﬁve of
the seven ﬁrst place votes.
The two teams that Alexander shared
the league crown with ﬁnished second
and third in the girls poll as NelsonvilleYork had 39 points and Vinton County
ﬁnished with 34 points and a pair of ﬁrst
place votes. The Lady Spartans, Lady
Buckeyes and Lady Vikings each went
10-2 in the league in the 2015-16 season.
Meigs — which was sixth in the league
a year ago, with a 3-9 record — took
fourth in the poll with 29 points.
The Lady Bulldogs and Lady Raiders
— who tied for fourth in the league last
winter, with matching 4-8 records — ﬁnished ﬁfth and seventh in the poll, earning
26 and 11 points respectively.
Wellston — which is currently on a

17-game league losing skid — claimed
12 poll points, placing the Lady Rockets
sixth.
On the boys side, Vinton County was
the unanimous ﬁrst place pick, garnering
all seven ﬁrst place votes for a perfect
49 points. The Vikings were 10-2 in the
league last winter, earning their ﬁrst outright league championship since the 201112 season.
Athens and Meigs tied for third in
the league last year with matching 8-4
records. The Bulldogs took second in the
poll with 40 points, while the Marauders
were fourth with 29 points.
Alexander — the league runner-up last
winter, with a 9-3 record — took 33 poll
points and ﬁnished third.
The Buckeyes received 21 poll points,
placing them ﬁfth. NYHS was sixth in the
league last winter with a 2-10 mark.
Wellston was ﬁfth in the league a year
ago with a 4-8 record, and the Golden
Rockets received 14 poll points to ﬁnish
sixth.
River Valley rounded out the seventeam league with 10 poll points. The
Raiders went 1-11 in league last winter,
ﬁnishing seventh.

doing what they
need to do, and if
our O-line plays well
then we have a good
day on offense,”
Barrett said. “The
main thing is that
the offense has really
opened things up for
the guys running and
also for me running
the ball.”
Michigan coach
Jim Harbaugh said
Barrett is hard to
predict because he’s
able to do so many
things well. The
junior is responsible
for 99 touchdowns
in his Ohio State
career, seven shy of
Drew Brees’ Big Ten
record.
“Slippery,” Harbaugh said. “Tough
runner, like a running
back, but he’s got
the vision of a quarterback, he’s got the
throwing ability of a
quarterback. There’s
times where he can
put the ball into the
tightest of windows.
He plays with a lot of
conﬁdence. He’s an
outstanding player.
It’s a unique combination for a quarterback to have all those
things.”
Samuel has
emerged as the go-to
guy for Barrett. He
leads the team in
receiving with 790
yards and seven
touchdowns, and has
rushed for another
650 yards and seven
scores. In what
promises to be one of
the more intriguing
matchups of the day,
Samuel could line
up in the slot and be
staring across at Peppers.
That’s a matchup
that makes the game
even more intriguing,
if that’s possible. The
winner stays in the
mix for the College
Football Playoff.

… Purdue’s offense ranks

ranks 121st in third-down
defense, yielding ﬁrst
downs on 49.1 percent.
… Indiana has recorded
15 sacks and 52 tackles
for loss over the last ﬁve
games. … Maryland has
started seven true freshmen, tied with South
Carolina for most in the

FBS. … Illinois LB Tre
Watson is averaging 10.8
tackles in Big Ten games
to lead the conference.
He’s made 41 stops in the
last three games. … Justin
Jackson last week became
the ﬁrst Northwestern
player to rush for 1,000
yards in three seasons.
LONG SHOT
Michigan State is a
13-point underdog at
Penn State and, if Ohio
State beats Michigan earlier in the day, would love
to mess up the Nittany
Lions’ opportunity to go
to the Big Ten championship game. The Spartans
clinched the 2015 East
Division title with a
39-point win over Penn
State. They haven’t had
much to celebrate this
year. They’re 0-3 in Big

Ten road games, have had
20 different starters and
ﬁelded nine freshmen.
After losing by a point to
Ohio State last week, a
win here would make the
season for Sparty.
PLAYER TO WATCH
Minnesota LB Blake
Cashman has been coming up big since early
November and played
his best game last week,
ﬁnishing with 10 tackles,
two sacks and a forced
fumble in the win over
Northwestern. Cashman
began the season playing
mostly on special teams.
He has 19 tackles and
ﬁve sacks in his last three
games. The Gophers need
him to keep doing what
he’s been doing if they
hope to upset ﬁfth-ranked
Wisconsin (No. 6 CFP).

Bengals’ season comes down to win at Baltimore
CINCINNATI (AP) —
The chances have dwindled down to this one.
The Bengals’ streak of
reaching the playoffs a
club-record ﬁve straight
seasons is on the line in
Baltimore this weekend .
Win there, and they’re
still in the hunt for another AFC North championship.
Lose there, and it’s all
pretty much over.
“We keep saying every
week we’ve got a chance,
we’re still in it,” defensive
coordinator Paul Guenther said. “At some point,
we’ve got to be in it.”
The Bengals (3-6-1) are
mired in third place after
a horrendous stretch of

games.
Since the end of September, they’ve won only
one game — against the
winless Browns at home.
They’re 1-4-1 in their
past six games, their
worst such stretch since
they dropped 10 straight
in 2010 while on their way
to a 4-12 ﬁnish. That’s
the most recent time they
failed to reach the playoffs.
They’re very fortunate to be still in it.
The Ravens (5-5) have
dropped ﬁve of their past
seven games. The Steelers
(5-5) lost Ben Roethlisberger for a time and have
struggled to regain their
footing.

With two games left
against the Ravens and
one at home against the
Steelers , Cincinnati has a
chance to win the division
if it runs the table and the
Steelers stumble.
Baltimore has the
toughest closing schedule,
which includes a game at
New England. The Ravens
ﬁnish on the road against
Pittsburgh and Cincinnati.
So there’s still a longshot chance, so long as
the Bengals win in Baltimore and keep going.
“We’ve still got most of
our division games left,”
cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick said. “We’ve just got
to win out.”
And they’ll have to win

out without their top
two receivers. A.J. Green
strained his right hamstring during a 16-12 loss
to Buffalo on Sunday and
is sidelined indeﬁnitely.
Running back Giovani
Bernard — second on the
team in receptions — tore
his left ACL and is out for
the season.
The Bengals are going
to have to redesign an
offense that was struggling even before the
injuries.
“It’s not just at the
positions where guys got
hurt,” left tackle Andrew
Whitworth said. “It’s all
over. There are going to
be new people that are
the onus of what we do.

They’re going to wear the
hat and they’re going to
have to carry us.”
The Bengals have
dropped ﬁrst-round playoff games each of the
past ﬁve seasons, an NFL
record.
They haven’t won a
playoff game since the
1990 season, the sixthlongest streak of playoff
futility in league history.
In order to have another
chance at ending the
streak, they’ve got to start
a winning streak.
“We continue to let
opportunities slip away,”
coach Marvin Lewis said.
“At some point, we’ve got
to go and win games or
we will be out of it.”

RG3 returns to practice with Browns
BEREA, Ohio (AP) —
Robert Grifﬁn’s day of
thanks came a little early.
For the ﬁrst time since
breaking a bone in his left
shoulder in Cleveland’s
season opener, Grifﬁn
practiced on Wednesday,
a signiﬁcant step for the
quarterback whose career
has been undermined by
injuries and whose future
remains unclear.
Grifﬁn arrived at
the team’s facility not
knowing if he had been
formally designated for
return by the team. Once
he received news he was
going to practice, RG3
could hardly contain himself.
“I put my shoulder pads
on and went out and ran
around like a little kid,”
he said.
On the ﬁeld, an energized Grifﬁn slapped
hands with teammates
during drills, and at one
point ran and jumped on
offensive coach Pep Hamilton’s back.
His wait was over, and
Grifﬁn celebrated.
Grifﬁn’s return is a
much-needed dose of posi-

tive news for the winless
Browns (0-11) , whose
season took the ﬁrst of
many downward turns
when he got hurt late in
the fourth quarter of his
Cleveland debut.
His injury changed the
direction of Cleveland’s
season. It not only sidelined him for 10 weeks,

but his latest medical
setback prevented the
Browns — who signed
him to a two-year, $15
million in March — from
being able to assess the
26-year-old as their franchise quarterback, a position that has remained
both bafﬂing and vacant
over the past 17 seasons.

While there’s no guarantee Grifﬁn will play again
this season, he believes he
can be Cleveland’s starter
for seasons to come.
“No doubt,” he said.
“I have the conﬁdence
in that. I can’t speak for
coach or anyone else, but
they’ve expressed that to
me. I still feel I can be the

guy for this team, for this
organization, and I look
forward to going out and
proving it.”
First, he has to prove
he can take contact, and
the way Browns quarterbacks have been getting
pummeled lately, that test
could include being run
over by a truck.
