Ceremony honors those lost on the Silver Bridge By Beth Sergent bsergent@civitasmedia.com POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. — Though the weather on Thursday evening may have kept the crowd smaller than last year, it did not deter some brave souls who wished to honor the memory of the 46 people who perished on the Sil- ver Bridge, 49 years ago. The second annual remembrance ceremony held at the original bridge site was opened by Mason County Commission President Tracy Doolittle, who said the event allowed everyone to “remember the loved ones we lost.” Pastor Ted Nance was then introduced and before giving the opening prayer, spoke about being seven years old when he heard about what had happened on Dec. 15, 1967. Mayor Brian Billings also spoke, saying it was up to those who were alive during that difficult time to relay the memories of what happened to new generations, and to “let us not forget” the people who were lost. Jack Fowler, director of the Point Pleasant River Museum and Learning Center then spoke, giving a history of the bridge which was officially named the GallipolisPoint Pleasant Bridge. It was unofficially named the Silver Bridge due to its aluminum paint which made it unique at the time.

POMEROY — Local agricultural producers and forest landowners with a record of conservation stewardship wanting to improve their operations or natural resources on their farms have until Feb. 3 to sign up for assistance under a federal program designed to help them meet their natural resource goals. The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Natural Resources Conservation Service is currently accepting applications for enrollment in the Conservation Stewardship Pro- gram, the nation’s largest conservation program. Through CSP, agricultural producers and forest landowners earn payments for actively managing, maintaining, and expanding conservation activities like cover crops, ecologically-based pest management, buffer strips, and pollinator and beneficial insect habitat — all while maintaining active agriculture production on their land. CSP also encourages the adoption of cutting-edge technologies and new management techniques such as precision agriculture applications, on-site carbon storage and planting for high carbon sequestration rate, and new soil amendments to improve water quality. CSP is for producers who are already established conservation stewards, helping them to deliver multiple conservation benefits on working lands, including improved water and soil quality and enhanced wildlife habitat. Information about CSP, including national and state ranking questions and enhancement descriptions, is available on the Ohio NRCS website. NRCS has made several updates to the program this year to help See USDA | 5 �DEATH NOTICES/NEWS 2 Friday, December 16, 2016 DEATH NOTICES MEIGS BRIEFS SMITH Editor’s Note: The Meigs Briefs will only list event information that is open to the public and will be printed on a space-available basis.

The sentiment is reflected in songs such as “I’ll be home for Christmas,” and “There’s no place like home for the holidays.” And every year there are probably a dozen or so movies made with exactly that theme. Those unable to be joined with loved ones during such times are often morose or sorrowful over the lost opportunity, and because it is felt to be so important, it is not unusual for individuals and family to Jonathan spend McAnulty much Contributing time, effort and columnist money to travel just to have those few days together. The reason for this is, of course, the fact that we love our families, and even when we are separated by miles, or even years, we still have a longing to be with them, to fill that hole in the heart that is there when they are not. There is a heavenly home waiting for the children of God, and one wonders sometimes how many Christians have the same yearning to be home with their heavenly father, as they do to be with those loved ones they miss here on earth. Jesus spoke to this idea in His Sermon on the Mount, in the context of laying up spiritual treasures instead of earthly treasures. Specifically, He said, “lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” (Matthews 6:20-21; NKJV) When we think of treasures, even when we read those words of Christ, how often do our minds go to the very physical treasures Christ was warning against, and thinking of heavenly treasures as analogous. But the treasures of heaven are not gold, or gems, or precious objects of art. Rather they are the spiritual blessings that come from having a relationship with God, chief amongst of which is that blessing of being near to God, our heavenly Father. There’s nothing wrong with having affection for those who are here on earth with us, and a longing to be with them. Paul, in prison, and thinking of Timothy, whom he regarded as a son, wrote of this saying, “As I remember your tears, I long to see you, that I may “There is a heavenly home waiting for the children of God, and one wonders sometimes how many Christians have the same yearning to be home with their heavenly father, as they do to be with those loved ones they miss here on earth.” —Jonathan McAnulty be filled with joy.” (2 Timothy 1:4; ESV) Such yearnings are perfectly natural But the same apostle wrote of his love for Christ similarly. Elsewhen in prison and facing the possibility of death, he reflected on the opportunities afforded by either chance, and said, “I am hard pressed between the two. My desire is to depart and be with Christ, for that is far better.” (Philippians 1:23; ESV) Christ was in heaven, and Paul, with a great love for his savior, wanted to make that journey to be home with his Lord, for that was the most desirable thing of all. Jesus, for His part, wants that same homecoming and reunion. Thus He promised us, “In my Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also.” (John 14:2-3; ESV) We put a lot of effort into being with the ones we love, even if just for a few days. But we do it because we love them, and that time together is very precious. It follows, that the amount of time we put into being joined with Christ and our heavenly Father is something of a reflection of how much we actually love them. Do we say, with the wise apostle, “My desire is to depart and be with Christ,” or do we eschew such sentiments and think of heaven as something to be put off as long as possible? Home is very much where the heart is. If your heart is fixated on an earthly dwelling place, then that will be your home, and your most fervent desire. Only be setting our hearts on those things above can we really be said to have a heavenly home, and only then are we likely to make the effort to ensure that when the opportunity comes, we are prepared for that journey to be with the God who loves us so. The church of Christ invites you to join us in laying up heavenly treasures. Won’t you join us in study and worship at 234 Chapel Drive, Gallipolis, Ohio. Jonathan McAnulty is minister of Chapel Hill Church of Christ. Having recently had the annual opportunity to once again watch “A Charlie Brown Christmas” with my children, I found myself compelled to consider the wistful wisdom offered to us by the “Peanuts” comic strip creator, Charles Schultz. The world of Snoopy, Linus, Schroeder, Lucy, Sally, Peppermint Patty, and the rest is a bittersweet rehearsal of what so many folks experience in real life, but Schultz’ gentle approach also helps us to find humor in the daily ironies that come their way. Charlie Brown’s idealism in the Christmas special is really a contrast of a person whose heart’s cry is a hunger for more than this life can give with that of a people who not only have forgotten what the real point of Christmas is but also can’t quite remember what the point of their Christianity is. There is a real danger that just as Lucy and the others expect Charlie Brown to come back with their idea of the perfect Christmas tree (a false one made of aluminum), Christians can come to build for themselves artificial spiritual constructs and believe these things to be the means to personal happiness. And just what is an artificial spiritual construct? The first form of such a construct is a thing that we make or possess that we then celebrate as evidence of our spiritual well-being (like a building) and the second form is something WE “do” while neglecting the matters of our heart condition that Jesus found very important (see Matthew 23:23-28 ). An “artificial spiritual construct” then is nothing less than an idol. It is something we’ve concocted either by fashioning it literally with our hands or in the imagining it with animal’s feedbox. our minds that “Who has believed then robs from what they heard God His position from us?

And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; ye shall find the Babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, ‘Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men” (Luke 2:1-14 KJV). So what is the moral of the story in “A Charlie Brown Christmas?” Merely that unlike the aluminum trees of Charlie Brown’s tree lot, the love of God is real and alive and that it reaches to the humble of heart. May your Christmas be focused on the only One Who can give it meaning… Jesus. “The Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen His glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth” (John 1:14 ESV).

Neither, should prayer be considered in terms of pulling God’s strings to get our desires granted. Rather, effective prayer is born out of personal relationship with God, and is to be expedited through faith in God. Second, we should keep in mind that prayer involves dialogue and should not be relegated to mere monologue. In so many terms, state your case—-God allows it—-but give God opportunity to speak back—we must allow it. God speaks to us in concrete terms based upon what He has revealed to us in His Word and through the assured and clear leadership of His Holy Spirit. Listen with intent. Inherent with praying to God is the assent that His will be done. This understanding comes by way of the teaching of Jesus Christ about praying. In teaching us to pray (such as in the Lord’s Prayer), the Lord taught that we should ask that God’s will be done “on earth as it is in Heaven.” God’s will is absolutely carried out in Heaven, and we should expect nothing less here on earth with our concerns and requests. After all, God’s will carries forth the best results. An important prayer factor I learned from reading the Bible is to pray for the completed victory. Concerning whatever may be your request, do not pray to the end that only partial results are experienced. Rather, pray that every base of your request is covered. I think that the Lord likes that kind of praying. Because the Cowboys have not won the Super Bowl since Jeshua’s prayer, January 28, 1996, I have concluded that the Cowboys win only as kids’ prayers prevail. But, if Jeshua and Jamin try to pray on the Cowboy’s behalf to win it all because of the Cowboys’ potential this year, my prayer is that God will not answer their prayer.

New methods and software for evaluating applications will help producers see up front why they are or are not meeting stewardship thresholds, and allow them to pick practices and enhancements that work for their conservation objectives. These new tools also allow producers to see potential payment scenarios for conservation early in the process. “This year, the Conservation Stewardship Program provides even more opportunities for conservation and greater flexibility at the local level to prioritize resource concerns and conservation approaches,” says Terry Cosby, NRCS State Conservationist in Ohio.” Customized CSP tools for Ohio will improve the customer experience during application evaluations.” People interested in the additional opportunities the updated CSP will offer can find information on the new CSP portal, located at http://www.

This one-stop shop, which provides information to help producers determine whether CSP is right for them, will be continually updated as more information becomes available. Changes that producers can expect to see include nearly double the enhancements and conservation practices offered and better reporting tools to tell producers the results of their conservation efforts on their land. NRCS has addressed producer and stakeholder input requesting greater flexibility to address local resource concerns. Now, NRCS will more effectively utilize input from farmers, ranchers and partners in State Technical Committees and local workgroups to inform and expand conservation strategies under the program. Producers will be better prepared to apply because they will know these local ranking priorities and targeted resource concerns in advance. Meigs County producers interested in the program should visit their local USDA Service Center at 113 East Memorial Drive, Suite D, Pomeroy, to submit an application, or contact Carrie Crislip, NRCS District Conservationist at 740-992-6646. NRCS offices will accept applications through Feb. 3, 2017.

While speaking with them it was discovered that the driver was suspended. When the suspects were told that the driver was going to be cited and the car inventoried and towed, the vehicle owner advised the deputy there were drugs and paraphernalia in the car.

Nobody wants to lose to the NFL’s only winless squad. At 0-13, Cleveland has become an unlikely target. “That’s one of the challenges when you go this long without winning a game,” Pro Bowl tackle Joe Thomas said. “You’ve gone from maybe a team that other teams are going to overlook to the team that you’re definitely not going to get overlooked because teams don’t want to be the team that lost to you, and they are going to circle that game.” Three losses from a most imperfect season, the Browns will try to snap a losing streak stretching to last Dec. 13 on Sunday when they visit the Buffalo Bills, who have had their own struggles and whose coach, Rex Ryan, might be in a little trouble. A loss to the dismal Browns could seal Ryan’s fate. On Wednesday, Buffalo defensive tackle said the Bills aren’t looking past the Browns and promised victory. “That’s just a guarantee,” Dareus told the Buffalo News. “We ain’t gonna be that team. We’re not going to be the team that busts (the Browns’ streak). Nobody in the league wants that to happen (to them), no.” Thomas faked disgust and anger when told about Dareus’ promise. “I hate that guy!” Thomas yelled through a smile. “I’m gonna kill him!” Thomas, though, got somewhat serious when explaining the motivation behind Dareus’ pledge as it’s the same thing driving the Browns, who don’t Bryan Walters/OVP Sports Point Pleasant senior Aislyn Hayman (33) releases a shot attempt during a December 8 contest against Meigs in Point Pleasant, W.Va. GLENVILLE, W. Va. — There will be better days. The Point Pleasant girls basketball team dropped a 63-28 decision to Nicholas County in the opening round of the IOGA Classic, on Wednesday at Glenville State College’s Waco Center. The Lady Knights (1-6) — who have lost three straight games — trailed 10-4 at the conclusion of the opening period. The Lady Grizzlies (2-1) extended their lead to 25-12 by halftime and 48-26 by the end of the third quarter. NCHS capped off the 35-point win with a 15-to-4 fourth quarter run. The PPHS offense was led by senior Michaela Cottrill with seven points, followed by Hannah Smith with six. Aislyn Hayman tallied five points, Morgan Roush and Allison Henderson each added four, while Peyton Campbell and Porsha Mayo both scored one. Anna Hamilton led the victors with 15 points, followed by Olivia Carpenter with 11, Alexis Nicholas with nine, Emily Parker with six and Josie Chapman with five. Zoe Spencer and Kristen Woods both marked four points, Taylor Brown chipped in with three, while Michaela O’Dell, Alexis Montgomery and Maggie Gadomoski each scored two points. Point Pleasant will meet Braxton County in the Class AA girls consolation game, at 5:40 p.m. on Friday. Nicholas County will meet Roane County on Saturday at 3:20, in the girls Class AA championship game. Alex Hawley can be reached at 740-4462342, ext. 2100. See BROWNS | 7 Cavs fans in Tennessee flock to Grizzlies game, but no big 3 MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — When Philip Speering’s mother told him she would do something special for him making good grades, he focused on the Cleveland Cavaliers’ only visit to Memphis this season to play the Grizzlies. Speering, 15, wanted to see LeBron James. He wanted to see Kyrie Irving, Kevin Love and the defending NBA champions. Speering got his wish to attend the CavaliersGrizzlies game Wednesday night, but none of Cleveland’s top three players was even in town. As many NBA teams look to rest their top players more and more, James, Irving and Love were all left home, and Memphis beat the short-handed Cavs 93-85. “Honestly, I feel like they should come and support their (fans),” said Speering, who was wearing a Believeland T-shirt. “I understand rest, but it’s kind of disappointing.” Cavaliers coach Tyronn Lue announced immediately after his team beat Memphis 103-86 in Cleveland on Tuesday night that James, Irving and Love would not make the overnight, one-game trip.

Big Blacks bounce Nicholas in IOGA Tourney By Paul Boggs pboggs@civitasmedia.com GLENVILLE, W. Va. — The Big Blacks’ balanced scoring, and a sticky defense, paced Point Pleasant on Wednesday with its second consecutive boys basketball victory. This time, the triumph came in the inaugural Independent Oil & Gas Association Classic at Glenville State College, as Point Pleasant pushed past Nicholas County 67-50 in the Class AA tournament. With the win, the Big Blacks raised their record to 2-1 — and advanced to Saturday’s (Dec. 17) Class AA boys championship tilt against Braxton County. Braxton, on Monday night, defeated Roane County — as Saturday’s showdown is set for 5 p.m. Against the Grizzlies, Point Pleasant led 13-12 after the opening quarter, but the biggest difference was in the second and final frames. The Big Blacks erupted for 20 points apiece in those two periods, leading 33-23 at halftime — and offsetting an 18-14 Nicholas advantage in the third. Point Pleasant’s margin after three quarters stood at 47-41, but the Big Blacks burst out for a 20-9 output in the final stanza — limiting the Grizzlies to only four free throws and a Nick Nutter three-pointer. While both clubs connected for four threepointers, PPHS held a 24-18 advantage in total field goals — and made as many free throws (15) as Nicholas attempted. Braydon Ralbusky and Doug Workman, with 16 points apiece, paced the Big Blacks’ balanced attack. Ralbusky busted all four of the team’s threes, including a pair in the pivotal fourth quarter. Workman, fresh off his 38-point and seven three-point goal outburst against Gallia Academy, wound up with four field goals and 8-of-14 free throws on Wednesday. Cason Payne pumped in five field goals and 4-of-5 free throws for 14 points, while Will Harbour hit for three field goals and 3-of-4 free throws for nine.

And why not? The Pittsburgh Steelers running back was in the final minutes of a historically productive on Sunday in Buffalo when he darted to the sideline and saw Bills cornerback Ronald Darby in his way. Did the NFL’s most patient and arguably its most productive runner lower his shoulder to send all of his 230ish pounds into the 190ish pound Darby? Did he plant his surgically repaired right knee and spin away as he’d done earlier? Um, no . “I just wanted that highlight I guess,” Bell said with a smile. Bell flew instead, vaulting when Darby appeared ready to dive at Bell’s legs. Only Darby stood up halfway through Bell’s jump and the most vital part of Pittsburgh’s resurgent offense landed with a decidedly ungraceful thud after picking up 14 of his franchise record 236 yards rushing in a 27-20 victory . It wasn’t, Bell admits, the best idea he’s ever had. And while coach Mike Tomlin didn’t feel the need to pull Bell aside and ask Bell to keep himself earth-bound going forward, Tomlin didn’t have to. Lisa Bell took care of it for him, reminding her son there’s nothing wrong with a little discretion. “She’s telling me to stop jumping,” Bell said with a laugh. “She’ll say that every single time. She’ll tell me to stop jumping, it’s dangerous. I give her a heart attack.” His mother isn’t the only one Bell is giving anxiety. Opponents are rapidly running out of ways to keep Bell in check for the surging Steelers (8-5), who travel to Cincinnati (5-7-1) on Sunday riding a See BELL | 7 �SPORTS Daily Sentinel Browns than if they were playing a 3-10 team. “No one wants to be that team that gets From page 6 beat by us because we want to be remembered don’t have any wins right now, and everyone along with the 2008 knows it,” Griffin said.

Bell is averaging 205 yards from scrimmage over the last month, thrusting himself into the fringe of the MVP conversation in the process. Heady territory considering Bell missed the first three games while serving a suspension for a second violation of the league’s substance abuse policy. “You can’t treat him like you treat a regular running back,” Cincinnati cornerback Adam Jones said Wednesday. Probably because Bell isn’t one. He has the size to shoulder a heavy workload, the hands of a wide receiver and a preternatural patience that seems almost counterintuitive for a position predicated on sprinting as fast as you can as far as you can until something gets in your way. Bell outgained the Bills all by himself (298 yards to 275 for Buffalo). His 67 receptions are second on the team behind Antonio Brown and two behind Arizona’s David Johnson for the most by a running back, and Johnson hasn’t missed a game all season. “It’s going to be a team effort stopping that guy,” Jones said. “He brings a lot to that offense.” Except, it seems, when he faces the Bengals. The last two times Bell has faced Cincinnati, he’s ended up leaving with a season-ending injury. In the 2014 regular season finale he hyperextended his left knee after getting hit low by Reggie Nelson. In Week 8 last season he tore the MCL in his right knee while getting tackled on the sideline by volatile linebacker Vontaze Burfict, who appeared to celebrate the hit, a serious no-no in the eyes of Bell’s teammates. Bell insists there won’t be a third time, stressing he’s “just got to be smart” and not get involved in any war of words with Burfict or anyone else. “I’m going to go out there and beat them with football plays,” he said. “I’m not going to get out there trash talking. I’m going to get out there and play football.” Besides, Bell has another avenue available if he wants to get personal. The 24-yearold spends his down time in the music studio inside his suburban Pittsburgh home. Working under the name “Juice,” Bell has already collaborated with Snoop Dogg in a track Bell says he’ll drop if Steelers win the Super Bowl. While he’s offered the occasional diss at media talking heads he’s steered clear of namechecking any specific players. “I just feel like I’m not about to give them any pub (through) my music,” Bell said. “They can listen to the lyrics and see if I’m talking about them or not.” Bell likes to time the release of certain tracks on the heels of big performances. His latest “Get Wit It ” came out last week and there’s more on the way. By his math he can put together a handful of songs in a couple of days and give himself a chance to decompress before the cycle begins again. He also keeps it relatively clean, moms being moms and all. “My mom loves my music,” he said. “She knows I’m smart. She knows I’m not going to go hectic with it.” No promises on the hurdling though. Friday, December 16, 2016 7 Browns’ Pryor agrees with ‘garbage’ rant BEREA, Ohio (AP) — Surprisingly, Terrelle Pryor didn’t disagree with Adam Jones’ heated outburst about him. He’s got an argument with the media, though. Following Cincinnati’s win over Cleveland on Sunday, Jones, the Bengals’ chatty cornerback, tore into Pryor, calling him “garbage” several times . At one point, Jones grabbed a trash can inside the locker room and called out Pryor’s name to see if he was inside the bin. Pryor made only catch for 3 yards in the 23-10 loss. “He’s right,” Pryor said. “I was garbage. One catch, 3 yards. It was an accurate statement.” But while Pryor seems to have moved on from Jones, his new beef seems to be with how he’s being covered. On Wednesday, Pryor, who didn’t talk after the game and declined an interview request Mon- day, chastised reporters for saying he got into an on-field argument during the game with Browns quarterback Robert Griffin III. As the Browns were driving for their only touchdown, Pryor and Griffin had an exchange as Cleveland was forced to call a timeout. Griffin explained that Pryor wanted to run a play that was called and the Browns had to use a timeout because the play clock was winding down. Pryor contends he and Griffin were not fighting. “You guys can’t assume, because me and Rob wasn’t arguing,” he said. “I go and read in the articles you guys are saying that I am arguing with my teammate. That’s trying to break up this team and all we’re trying to do is come in here and fight for a win. “I come in here and talk to you guys face to face. I’m very honest with you guys, have fun with you guys, and then you guys paint a picture about me to be a bad person. “And try to put some type of stigma between me and my teammates. So I appreciate if you guys would stop assuming and get the actual story before you write something.” Pryor’s temper has been an issue before, prompting coach Hue Jackson to address it with the 27-year-old former quarterback. Jackson wants Pryor to channel his emotions in a positive direction. “Terrelle understands,” he said. “We have common ground. I support Terrelle 100 percent, but there are certain things that he knows I want our players to emulate. It is not that. We will move from there and grow from it. “Terrelle’s passion is one to win. It does not come from a bad place. He is not a belligerent man or anything like that. I just think sometimes that energy gets directed the wrong way and energy needs to stay on the field and do what we need him to do to be successful.” Pryor, who can become a free agent in March, maintains he’s a team player and that his passion drives him. “You can ask all of my teammates, I’m not a guy that causes any beef or drama on the team,” he said. “That’s not me. Am I on the sidelines fiery, am I in the game fiery, absolutely. I wouldn’t think that the fans or my coaches or anyone else would want me to not play that way any other time. “And if I play any other way and just shut up and didn’t do anything, I don’t think I’d play as well, so I’m just continuing to try to get better. “I’ve got to get better and that’s all I’m looking forward to.” Jackson voted AP college football POY LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — For someone who is not completely comfortable in the spotlight, Lamar Jackson has come to embrace it all: the speeches, the truckload of trophies, even all those tweets about his outfits. But after a week of award shows, interviews and photo opportunities, the Louisville quarterback just wants to get back to the place that made him the most decorated college football player of the year. “It feels like I haven’t played football in a year, I’ve been away so long,” Jackson said. “I can’t wait to get back out there, put on those pads and grind.” Jackson returns to Louisville as The Associated Press college football Player of the Year, the latest addition to the sophomore’s haul of postseason awards. The youngest Heisman Trophy winner received 42 of 61 first-place votes from AP’s panel of media voters. Jackson received 153 points overall, followed by Clemson quarterback Deshaun Watson (73) and Alabama defensive lineman Jonathan Allen (32). Watson received 10 first-place votes and Allen three. Jackson’s runaway selection seemed fitting in a season in which he outraced defenders on his way to an impressive collection of highlights and hardware. The 19-year-old opened the season by accounting for a school-record eight touchdowns against Charlotte. Then he had a flashy goal-line hurdle over a Syracuse defender the next week while rolling to an ACC-record 610 yards. He showcased his improvement in the pocket and quick, nimble footwork during a five-TD outburst against Florida State in a statement win for the program. “His ability to picture plays is something that he really worked on and got better at,” Louisville coach Bobby Petrino said. “One of the things that is really neat was how he became a leader during the season. “I can remember a couple of times in practice where he would look at me and go, ‘He was short on that route.’ And I would say ‘Yes, yes he was.’ And I would go ahead to the receiver to correct him and Lamar goes, ‘That’s OK, Coach. I got him.’” The 6-foot-3, 205-pound Jackson has passed for 3,390 yards with 30 touchdowns and rushed for a school-record 1,538 and 21 scores. His combined TD total broke Watson’s Atlantic Coast Conference record of 47 set last season, and he established single-season conference rushing marks for yardage and TDs by a QB. After earning ACC honors from media and coaches as the league’s top player, Jackson last week won the Maxwell and Walter Camp awards. He’s still trying to get his mind around the deluge of individual accolades and attention — especially being a Heisman winner. IOGA Luke Grose, on seven total field goals and 2-of5 fourth-quarter free throws, led the Grizzles and all scorers with 17 points. Jacob Grose garnered 7-of-8 foul shots towards nine, as Nutter netted three deuces in addition to his trey. Trey Milan, on three field goals and a firstquarter freebie, scored seven — while Tanner Huffman had a two and a three for five points. In addition to Nutter in the fourth and Huffman in the second, Luke Grose in the first quarter and Isaac Sergeon in the second sank trifectas for Nicholas County. Paul Boggs can be reached at 740446-2342, ext. 2106 with “tired legs.” All three were listed as not with the team due to “rest.” “It was pretty much the circumstance. It wasn’t like, ‘We’re coming to Memphis; we’re going to sit our guys.’” Lue said. The reasoning still doesn’t sit well with fans. Jaden Jenkins, 14, of Memphis, was decked out in his Cavaliers shirt in the pregame. He noted it was “pretty upsetting” when he heard James wasn’t playing, but “even worse,” when Love and Irving were added to the mix. “If a player only plays one game at a particular location, they should play that night,” Jenkins said. Mark Edge and his 12-year-old son, Coleman, of Bartlett, Tennessee, a Memphis suburb, “marked the game on the calendar” as soon as the schedule was released. The father said it might be the only NBA game they attend this season. “It’s like if you had a lollipop and someone stole it,” Coleman Edge said. The disappointment was tempered somewhat when a member of the Cavaliers security staff approached and said the team liked to have people in Cleveland gear on its bench during pregame. At that point, Coleman was escorted to the Cavs’ bench. He wouldn’t see James or Irving, but he was perhaps sitting in the same seat they would have occupied if they made the trip to Memphis. And his father could find a bright spot to the whole episode. “We’re kind of disappointed,” Mark Edge said, “but it’s still a nice father-son night. We’re still making memories.” From page 6 buckets, and Braxton Yates with one field goal rounded out the Big Blacks’ scoring.
