Commissioners Randy Smith and Tim Ihle, along with Prosecutor James K. Stanley interviewed all 21 of the applicants for the vacancy left by the resignation of Mike Bartrum. Interviews were conducted Tuesday and Wednesday. Applicants (in no particular order) include: Duane Weber, Shannon Miller, Jeff Vogt, Scott Wolfe, Danny Davis, Tony Carnahan, Clinton Stanley, Bryan Swann, Adam Will, Cole Durst, Paul Gerard, Carson Crow, Paul Briles, James Will, Kimberly Dodd, Rhonda Cullums, Jenny Manuel, Duane Bruce Wolfe Jr., Gary Coleman, Andrea Neutzling, and Mick Davenport. “We interviewed some absolutely amazing people from our community. Everyone had something to say that showed they would be ﬁt for public service,” said Commissioner Smith. Each of the applicants took part in a 10 minute interview and were asked a series of three questions. The questions were as follows: 1. If someone approached you today and asked you “what does a county commissioner do?” How would you answer them? 2. Budget scenarios: If by the middle of the year the sheriff’s ofﬁce budget was run- ning at a $250,000 deﬁcit due to prisoner housing, food and medical what ideas would you have to ﬁx the situation? The applicants were told that state and federal funds, as well as grants were not an option for the ﬁx. 3. Given that you would be ﬁlling an unexpired term through the end of 2020, would you intend to run for election? “It is an incredibly difﬁcult decision. Hardest decision in my six years. We have some very good passionate people putting in for this position,” said Smith of the decision on who to name as the next commissioner. By law, the only qualiﬁcations are the person must be 18 years of age and registered voter in Meigs County. With Bartrum’s resignation effective on Feb. 28, a special meeting has been scheduled for 8:30 a.m. on Friday, March 1 when it is anticipated the new commissioner will be announced. Sarah Hawley is the managing editor of The Daily Sentinel. DeWine proposes 18 cent gas tax beginning July 1 By Lisa Cornwell The Associated Press CINCINNATI — Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine’s administration on Thursday recommended increasing the state gas tax by 18 cents a gallon beginning July 1 and annually adjusting that tax for inﬂation to provide sufﬁcient funding for maintenance of roads and bridges. Ohio’s Department of Transportation director, Jack Marchbanks, introduced the governor’s $7.43 billion transportation budget proposal to the House Finance Committee. The gas tax included in the two-year budget would be adjusted annually with the consumer price index to ensure sufﬁcient funding going forward, Marchbanks said. He said revenue raised the ﬁrst year, by increasing the current 28-cent tax to 46 cents, equates to roughly $1.2 billion and will be split between the department and local governments. Marchbanks told legislators that without more revenue in the face of the “impending transportation crisis,” there will be no funds for any highway improvement projects in the state and roads will deteriorate. Statistics show that deteriorating road conditions lead to more crashes, which lead to more fatalities, he said. “Governor DeWine understands that maintaining the integrity of our roads and bridges is not only important to our economy; it is important to the health and welfare of our citizens,” Marchbanks said. If the Legislature approves the recommendations, the proposal would provide the department in ﬁscal year 2020 with $750 million additional dollars in revenue to pave roads, ﬁx guardrails, ﬁll potholes, clear snow and ice, maintain bridges, and improve safety, Marchbanks told the committee. He said it also will provide local governments with a signiﬁcant increase in the funding, including $1.6 million for every county in the state. Marchbanks has previously said that contracts for road maintenance that totaled $2.4 billion in 2014 may drop to $1.5 billion in 2020, and a $1 billion gap remains in the department budget. A transportation crisis is looming despite “all of ODOT’s multi-million dollar cost-saving efforts to make our agency leaner and more efﬁcient,” he See GAS TAX | 3 INDEX Obituaries: 2 Church: 4 Church Directory: 5 Sports: 6 TV listings: 7 Comics: 8 Classifieds: 9 Weather: 10 Dean Wright | OVP Volunteers work to unload a former Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey’s Circus passenger car at the Gallipolis Railroad Freight Station Museum. Railroad museum welcomes circus car By Dean Wright deanwright@aimmediamidwest. com GALLIPOLIS — Gallipolis Railroad Freight Station Museum volunteers and board members welcomed their latest asset to its Third Avenue location Monday, a former Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey’s passenger car. According to information provided by the museum’s board of directors,” The RBBX 41307 (the car’s formal designation) was built in 1949 (then numbered) Pennsylvania RR (PPR) No. 8267, named the ‘Lewiston Inn,’ (and built) as a 21 roomette slab-sided stainless steel sleeper by the Budd Company, using the Pullman Floor plan 9513.” The 10 by 86 foot car was rebuilt in 1963 as a 64-seat coach with a 12-seat smoking lounge and was renumbered PPR 1505 before then becoming Penn Central (PC) 1505 in 1968. It was eventually sold in 1976 to New Jersey Transit and renumbered NJTR 5439 before being traded to a private car owner in 1992 who then in turn sold it to the circus. It ran in the circus’ blue unit with a house number of 186 and reporting marks of 41307. The car was received from private owners Nelson and Borden Black McGahee at a location in Huntington after selling the car to the museum for around $22,000, said board members. The pair purchased the car in 2017 after the circus went out of business, reported The Huntington-Herald Dispatch. Board President Jim Love said the car was once used to house around ﬁve or six circus trapeze artists and was equipped with refrigerators, toilets, beds and more. “We’ve come a long ways in a couple years,” said Love. “We’d like to turn the car into a meeting place and modify it for educational purposes.” Board Vice-President Jerry Davis said, ideally, the car would be outﬁt with learning stations for all elementary school grades with age appropriate content, as well as to serve other community functions, with monitors and informational displays discussing the station’s history. “The support from the community has just been wonderful,” said Davis. “So many people have come to donate time, labor or money to the effort and we couldn’t be more pleased.” Love ﬁrst approached Gallipolis City Commission about turning the aging station into a museum in April 2016.

Festival Friday, February 22, 2019 3 ��-HIIHUVRQ�$YHQXH��3RLQW�3OHDVDQW��:9��SYDOOH\�RUJ �4 Friday, February 22, 2019 I was just thinking I was just thinking, and that, speciﬁcally about the inspiration generated by the imagery used in the Bible that conPastor Ron veys instructional spiritual truth. Branch For example, God Contributing once said, “I will columnist be as the dew unto Israel.” The “dew” amounts to a powerful image to consider. I have read that the dew accounts for up to 75 percent of the needed moisture for that part of the Biblical world. The dew brings a lot of daily refreshment for vegetation. Without the dew, the landscape would be utterly parched. But, there is another matter to consider about the image of the dew. Dew occurs when the atmospheric and temperature conditions are right, which causes moisture to condensate on the leaves of the plants. By contrast, this image leads us to consider that God sends spiritual refreshing to our lives whenever the spiritual conditions with us are right. Spiritual revival is the key concept here, for God will send refreshing spiritual revival to our lives, to our churches, and to our nation whenever the spiritual conditions are right between God and us. God will be as the dew, but the spiritual conditions of being right with Him are up to us. The dew imagery is powerful. Another point of imagery is where the Lord talks about “they that dwell under His shadow.” There is distinct spiritual advantage when we strive to live under the shadow that God can cast in our lives. Once, I was umpiring bases at an afternoon baseball game. It was blistering hot on the ﬁeld. The sun was blazing. The humidity was stiﬂing. But, I happened to notice that one of the ﬁeld’s light poles cast its shadow along the ﬁrst base line. And, although it was a thin shadow compared to my portly wideness, it nonetheless produced a certain amount of shade. I found that if I stood in that shadow there was a certain amount of relief gained from the high temperature. Fortunately, it was a clean ball game, which meant I was not often required to move to the middle of the ﬁeld. So, as much as possible, I took advantage of that shadow when there were no runners on base. We often deﬁne experiences of life in general, troubles speciﬁcally, and temptations particularly as producing variations of “heat” with which we must deal. Sometimes the “heat” becomes overbearing. Sometimes it extremely stiﬂes our ability to live comfortably. But, there is relief from the “heat,” and it is found in the manifestation of God’s shadow. His shadow is considered in terms of the relief that His presence in our lives and the affect of practicing His principles and expectations brings to us. Position your life in the shadow that God casts, and see if there is not a noticeable difference. The shadow imagery is powerful. One image with which I am particularly blessed is where it speaks of those that return to God. It says they shall “revive like the corn.” Over the years, Terry and I typically planted large gardens. Of course, a signiﬁcant part of these gardens included large stands of sweet corn. We really liked corn, and Terry canned a lot of it. But, every year, just about time the stalks would start to produce the ears of corn, the winds of a hard storm would hit and lay the corn down ﬂat. The ﬁrst time it happened, we were so disappointed. We were looking forward to the produce with lots of it. But, a neighboring farmer told us that if we gave it time, that the corn would stand back up. And, it did. We often talk about the winds of life, and how these harsh and hard winds seem to blow us down. It is a discouraging experience. But, if we turn to God and depend on Him, we shall stand again — like the corn. It is an encouraging proposition. The imagery of the corn is powerful. I was just thinking about the inspirational and instructional images drawn in God’s Word — and was blessed.

Temptation comes from within. “Each person is tempted should note that this is not a when he is lured and enticed by promise that God’s people will his own desire (James 1:14).” always take the way of escape If temptation is internal, then God has provided. There are plenty of examples one can ﬁnd we should not be surprised to ﬁnd that the method of escape God provides might also be an internal one. Frequently the “way of escape,” is selfcontrol, an ability to say, “no,” to ourselves or to others, and an opportunity to remove ourselves from a situation. A man who is tempted to drunkenness is not going to be offered a “way of escape” in which all the alcohol around him suddenly disappears. Rather he is going to have to learn to turn away from friends encouraging him to bad behavior, avoid those places where he is most tempted, and ﬁnd activities to replace the ones leading him astray. A man tempted to anger is not going to ﬁnd a “way of escape” in which all the people around him are now nice, polite and agreeing with all his ideas. Rather God is going to instruct such a man in how to be patient, kind and long-suffering towards those that wrong him or disagree with him. A man pressed by ﬁnancial burdens is not going to necessarily ﬁnd a “way of escape” in which God providentially sends a cash windfall and all the bills are instantly paid. In such a circumstance, the “escape” may involve hard work, frugality and better ﬁnancial decisions; or alternatively lessons in contentment regardless of circumstances. Simply put, when God promises to provide a way of escape, He is not shifting the burden of resisting temptation from our shoulders to His. In spiritual laziness we often want God to do all the work for us. But that’s not how God works. He will show us the way out of the situation, but it is our responsibility to heed His word and make the decision to take the way out. God’s love: The greatest gift of all one who gives it.

So if ever we love “things” in place of our First, a gift of true love is never given to buy or win the affection of the beloved. It is given as God, we can be sure that such things are at risk an expression of delight and devotion of the one of being stripped from us. God is, after all, a jealous God. Such things, these lesser gifts, are who gives it. It represents the sacriﬁcial regard actually hindrances in our receiving His greatest of the giver for the one gifted and is a way of gift. He would rather we be naked and hungry saying, “I love you more than what this cost when ﬁnally we enter into the comfort of our me.” Such gifts, therefore, represent some sort eternal home with Him then for us, in this life, of sacriﬁce. The sacriﬁce may not be material, but could be time taken to painfully seek out and to be blissfully content with all manner of pleasures and conveniences as we stroll along into acquire the gift for the sake of the beloved. If the gift is slighted or rejected, the giver may the waiting ﬁres of hell. “For God so loved the world, that He gave His persist in his expressions of love, yet every effort only Son, that whoever believes in Him should turned away runs the risk of being the last for not perish but have eternal life. For God did there is little joy in spurned affection and only not send His Son into the world to condemn pain when sacriﬁce is held in contempt. One might suggest that one who has given such gifts the world, but in order that the world might be saved through Him” (John 3:16-17). also give the recipient the gift of choosing how No one can out-give God because there is no to respond.

Have you ever noticed that when you read some things in the Bible God’s Kids they just Korner seem a little Pastor Ann backMoody wards or upside down to our usual thinking? Today’s Scripture is one of those that we really have to think about in order for it to make sense, and I’ll warn you, it is not always easy to do. Think about what you do and how you feel when someone is mean to you or says hateful things about you. We naturally want to “get back” at them or get revenge somehow to get even with them for what they did or said. But in Luke 6: 17-38, Jesus says that is not what we should do at all. And furthermore, Jesus tells us we should not judge others but forgive them. I don’t know about you, but those are not my ﬁrst thoughts when someone is not nice to me, but I know, it should be now. Jesus was preaching to the people when He said, “But I say to you people who are listening to me, love your enemies. Do good to those who hate you. Ask God to bless the people who ask for bad things to happen to you. Pray for the people who are mean to you. Give love and mercy the same as your Father gives love and mercy. Don’t judge others, and God will not judge you. Don’t condemn others, and you will not be condemned. Forgive others, and you will be forgiven. Give to others, and you will receive.” (Selected verses) That’s very to the point isn’t it? Jesus tells us exactly what He expects us to do — no ifs, ands, or buts. If we only like and are nice to people who like us, then that is easy; everybody does that, He says. What is more difﬁcult is to be kind to them, pray for them, not judge them, and forgive them. Jesus says if we can do that we are acting like Him and will be rewarded. Those are reasons enough to do what Jesus wants, but doing these things also shows our love for Jesus and is a good example to others of our Christian belief. Then it gives us a chance to make those enemies into our friends. Pray that when somebody does any of these things to you that you will be able to remember what Jesus wants you to do. You will not only be showing your Christianity but also happier in the end yourself. Let’s pray. Father God, help us to always remember the wise words that You tell us because we know it is the right thing to do. We should never want to be mean just because someone is mean to us. We must always treat others as we want to be treated ourselves. In Your name we pray, Amen.

Greg Holland was cut from $14 million to $2 million this season. Daniel Murphy fell from $17.5 million to $10 million. While Manny Machado agreed to a pending $300 million, 10-year contract with San Diego and Bryce Harper is likely to top Giancarlo Stanton’s record $325 million, 13-year deal, many lessthan-superstar veterans have been routed on the free-agent market. Players want change, and management could be open to negotiations for alterations to the collective bargaining agreement as part of an extension of the current deal, set to expire in December 2021. “It’s really clear there’s been a redistribution of how clubs are looking at veteran players,” agent Scott Boras said Wednesday. “We have a clear problem in the industry of a noncompetitive cancer. Like any patient with a malady, we have to address it immediately. Otherwise it is going to get steadily worse.” Of the 111 announced agreements among the 164 players who exercised their free-agency rights after the World Series, 36 were for minor league contracts and 26 were one-year deals for less than last year’s average salary of just over $4 million. In all, 46 players got one-year contracts, 19 two-year deals and seven three-year agreements. Just three longer contracts for free agents have been announced: left-hander Patrick Corbin’s $140 million, six-year deal with Washington, outﬁelder A.J. Pollock’s $60 million, ﬁve-year contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers and pitcher Nathan Eovaldi’s $68 million, See BASEBALL | 7 McDowell defends Daytona 500 decision not to push Logano CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Michael McDowell was still digesting his ﬁfth-place ﬁnish at the Daytona 500 when Joey Logano appeared at the front of his car, angrily pointing at the Ford logo. He was questioning McDowell’s loyalty to the brand. “He shows up pointing at the Ford emblem, pushing on the Ford, making his point ‘Hey, you are a Ford driver, why didn’t you push me?’” McDowell told The Associated Press on Tuesday. “It’s a two-way street, and if I got out of the car and started screaming at Joey for not going with me, everybody would say I was ridiculous and that I don’t belong up there and am not fast enough. God forbid I don’t push him to a win, now I’m the bad guy.” The tension between a pair of Ford drivers is the fallout from a disappointing Daytona 500 for the blue oval brand. The manufacturer debuted its new Mustang at Daytona International Speedway and positioned its stable of drivers as heavy favorites to win “The Great American Race.” Most manufacturers align their teams to work together at Daytona and Talladega with the goal of getting one of their drivers — doesn’t matter who — into victory lane. Ford fell short in the ﬁnal overtime sprint to the checkered ﬂag on Sunday, perhaps because McDowell made a lane change that separated him from Logano. Both drivers were trying to win, yet both probably needed to work together to have any See DECISION | 7 OVP SPORTS SCHEDULE Friday, Feb. 22 Boys Basketball (8) Meigs vs. (1) Wheelersburg at Jackson HS, 6 p.m. Tolsia at Hannan, 6:30 Wrestling WVSSAC Championships, 11:30 D-3 sectionals at Blanchester HS, 5 p.m. D-2 sectionals at Alexander HS, 6 p.m. Rio Grande Athletics Baseball vs Fisher at VA Memorial Stadium, noon Saturday, Feb. 23 Boys Basketball (7) Gallia Academy vs. (2) Jackson at Southeastern HS, 3 p.m. (5) Hannan at (4) Buffalo, 7 p.m. (6) Wahama at (3) Wirt County, 7 p.m. Wrestling D-2 sectionals at Alexander HS, 10 a.m. D-3 sectionals at Blanchester HS, 10 a.m. WVSSAC Championships, 10:30 Rio Grande Athletics Softball at USC-Beaufort, noon Softball vs. Reinhardt at Hardeeville (SC), 2 p.m. Point hosts tourney opener Wahama, Hannan start postseason with road contests By Bryan Walters bwalters@aimmediamidwest.com The postseason roads are set in West Virginia as the 2019 boys basketball sectional tournament brackets were released this week throughout the Bryan Walters | OVP Sports Mountain State.

A 5-foot-6 native of New Philadelphia, Ohio, Carter leads the RSC in scoring at 20.2 points per game and is second in ﬁeld goal percentage at .482. Carter also adds 6.9 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 2.3 steals per game while shooting 76 percent from the foul line. She led all the voting and was the top choice for the AllRSC First Team. The remaining nine All-RSC First Team honorees, along with the 11-player Second Team, the league’s Champion of Character team and other individual award winners were announced Tuesday afternoon by league ofﬁcials. WVU Tech head coach Anna Kowalska was voted as the RSC Women’s Basketball Coach of the Year. In her ﬁrst season in charge of the Golden Bears, Kowalska has led them to the overall RSC regular-season championship and the RSC East Division title. WVU Tech is 21-9 overall, 16-1 RSC, has already earned an NAIA national tournament bid and will be the No. 1 seed in the conference championship.

(AP) — Longtime Syracuse basketball coach Jim Boeheim struck and killed a man standing along an interstate late Wednesday night as he tried to avoid hitting the man’s disabled vehicle, police say. Syracuse police say 51-year-old Jorge Jimenez was an occupant in a vehicle with three others when they lost control and hit a guardrail before midnight Wednesday on I-690 in Syracuse. Boeheim struck Jimenez as he stood on the side of the road while trying to avoid the vehicle in the middle of the highway. Jimenez was taken to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead, police said. “I am heartbroken that a member of our community died as the result of last night’s accident,” Boeheim said in a prepared statement. The 74-year-old Basketball Hall of Fame coach said he and his wife Juli “extend our deepest sympathies to the Jimenez family.” He said he would not comment further “out of respect for those involved.” Police said Boeheim is cooperating with the investigation. “He stopped immediately and exited the vehicle,” said Syracuse Sgt. Matthew Malinowski. Police said sobriety tests administered to Boeheim and the unidentiﬁed driver of the other vehicle were negative for any signs See BOEHEIM | 7 �SPORTS/TV Daily Sentinel Baseball rather than older and better?” agent Jay Reisinger said. “It’s more than a coincidence that guys remain unsigned.

Instead, Ford wound up locked out of a Joe Gibbs Racing and Toyota podium sweep. Logano ﬁnished fourth ahead of McDowell. McDowell didn’t want to hear about brand loyalty in the aftermath of the race: “I just told him that my team doesn’t pay me to push Joey Logano to a win.” McDowell is winless in 286 Cup starts since 2008 and doesn’t drive for one of NASCAR’s superstar teams. He moved last season to Front Row Motorsports, one of NASCAR’s smaller teams, and managed one top-10 ﬁnish but was tied for a career-best 26th in the ﬁnal Cup standings. “I don’t have many chances to win races,” McDowell said. “I have maybe four or ﬁve shots a year to try to win a race. These other guys, they have 35 more chances. I needed to take my chance to win a race.” Logano is NASCAR’s reigning champion and a former Daytona 500 winner. So when McDowell found himself lined up with the leaders in the closing laps of the Daytona 500 he was racing for the victory with no time to consider team alliances. He pulled out of the bottom lane, away from Logano, and tried to hook onto Kyle Busch in the top lane. The move hampered Logano’s shot to catch Hamlin for the win. Opener McDowell has watched replays, spoken with Logano and Ford executives, and said he now realizes his best bet for a win would have been staying in line behind Logano. “You’ve got a splitsecond decision to make a move and I had the momentum and thought it was best to go the outside and thought that was the right move,” McDowell said. “Looking back at it, if I could do it over again, the bottom would have been better for me.” He remains adamant it was not his responsibility to help Logano win. Teamwork between manufacturers can work, but often depends on where drivers fall in the alliance. Team Penske and Stewart-Haas Racing are the big shots at Ford. McDowell and the Front Row Motorsports group seem more like distant cousins. McDowell said he, David Ragan and their teams were not privy to the Penske and SHR pit strategy at Daytona; SHR driver Clint Bowyer weaved around McDowell late in the race, a move that dumped McDowell into a slower middle lane, then cut McDowell off to create another late multicar accident as Bowyer tried to force his way back into line. “Those guys don’t work with Front Row Motorsports at all,” McDowell said. “They don’t help us at all. They want us to be there to support them when they need it, but they don’t let us in on when they’re going to pit, they don’t share strategy, they don’t tell us what’s going on.

In addition, data shows older players spent more time on the disabled list. The system since 1976 has been based on seniority. Clubs control the salaries of young players, those with roughly three-to-six years of service are eligible for arbitration and those with more than six are free. For decades, many players in the second half of their careers had deals that reﬂected earlier production more than their current output. “There has been an explosion in data, and when you have more data you have fewer gaps that require some intuitive or subjective assessment,” Alderson said. “The second aspect of this is people running clubs are all exposed to the same data, and the data is only minimally subject to interpretation.” Data also is causing teams to shed veterans during the offseason in favor of rebuilding. The cost of amateurs residing in the U.S., Puerto Rico and Canada was capped in the labor contract that started ahead of the 2012 season and the price of international amateurs was capped before the 2017 season. Boras, whose top free-agent clients include Harper and Keuchel, suggests adding wild-card teams, so more teams try to compete later into the season. “There is a clear evidence of tanking in our industry,” he said. “Clubs are choosing to lose and tank and the decrease in competition for the better teams does not require them to be as good. So they have less incentive to build the depth of their roster.” frustration with Joey is, ‘Don’t come to me talking about brand loyalty when you guys don’t do nothing to help us. And you want me to help you when you don’t do anything for us?’” McDowell’s ﬁnish was a career best in the Daytona 500, placing him ninth in the Cup standings as NASCAR shifts to Atlanta Motor Speedway this weekend with a new rules package that is designed to tighten the on-track competition. The idea behind the rules is to slow the cars to keep them closer together and improve passing opportunities. If it works, then drivers like McDowell might be able to consistently compete with the big teams. McDowell has seven career top-10 ﬁnishes, all but one was at either Daytona or Talladega. “If this package races like Daytona and Talladega, I’m going to be in a great spot,” McDowell said. “Hopefully we can have some highlights and put ourselves in a position to make some noise.” Carter 12.2 rebounds per game.

He hopes it ﬁnally shines on him and the Cavaliers in the second half of a depressing, gloomy season. Offering optimism about his future and Cleveland’s, Love returned to the practice ﬂoor with his teammates on Wednesday following the league’s annual midseason celebratory interruption. The ﬁve-time All-Star recently came back after missing more than 50 games following foot surgery. He was rested for the Cavs’ ﬁnal game against Brooklyn — part of his recovery plan — before the break, but Love was planning to play Thursday against Phoenix and intends to build up his minutes over the next few weeks.

Overall, he’s pleased with his progress and believes the Cavs are close to turning a corner. The team has been besieged by injuries, but with Love back and forward Tristan Thompson close after missing 13 games with foot soreness, the Cavs are as healthy as they’ve been in months. There won’t be any playoffs this season, but Love is excited about what the Cavs can accomplish down the stretch.

The Buckeyes overcame a sluggish start and found their footing in the second half to pull away from Northwestern 63-49 on Wednesday night behind Kaleb Wesson’s 22 points and eight rebounds. Kyle Young and Duane Washington Jr. each added eight points off the bench for the Buckeyes (17-9, 7-8 Big Ten), who snapped a two-game losing streak and stayed on the bubble for now with ﬁve regular-season games remaining — four against teams ranked in the AP Top 25. “I think we knew we really needed this game,” Washington said.
