Prior to the Civil War, it was uncommon for a presidential candidate to personally campaign. This was partially due to a notion that campaigning was not becoming of a candidate, that it was a dirty job best left to party leaders. This idea was destroyed during President Harrison’s 1840 “Tippecanoe and Tyler, Too!” campaign. The other factor was that long-distance travel was simply difficult. Railroads were still in their youth and limited mostly to the east coast. The two primary means of travel were the horse and carriage, limited by poor roads and the rest necessary for the horses, and the steamboat, limited to towns along major rivers. After the Civil War, this all changed. The railroad industry exploded, linking towns large and small across every state in the nation. The result was the “whistle-stop” campaign, wherein candidates traveled by special cars attached to the back of regular trains and made short speeches every time the train stopped. For the Ohio River Railroad, later the B&O, this would’ve meant stops at Letart, Graham Station, New Haven, Hartford, Mason, Clifton, West Columbia, Maggie, Linn (York), Locust Lane (Heights), Point Pleasant, Henderson, Gallipolis Ferry, Ben Lomond, Hogsett, Apple Grove, Mercer’s Bottom, Ashton, and Glenwood. 19 stops, and that doesn’t even include the Kanawha & Michigan line! Up through World War II, this was a common campaign strategy for presidential candidates, as it really let them get out among the people and make their name known. But, like the railroad had replaced the steamboat, it was eventually replaced by the automobile and airplane. The combination of the two worked to drive modern campaigns toward major cities, as candidates could now fly to central locations and the people could come to them. This only intensified with the current rise of social media. The first known presidential candidate to visit Mason County was, and remains, one of the most famous presidents of all time. “Dee-lighted!” to meet anybody and everybody, ex-President Theodore Roosevelt was seemingly trying to do just that during his 1912 Bull Moose campaign, having just finished a 5-state tour of the upper Midwest when he swung east towards West Virginia. In Huntington, his train car was attached to B&O Train #710, which included every stop previously named. In fact, WVU owns a wonderful photo of Teddy at Point Pleasant’s Union Station. The next to come through Mason County was one that, fittingly, has family ties to the area. William Jennings Bryan, the Great Commoner, was the grandnephew of Major Andrew and Parthenia Bryan of Five Mile. His grandparents, John and Nancy Bryan, were originally buried in the ArringtonLong Cemetery in Gallipolis Ferry before they were removed to Scott Depot. He was a candidate during the 1896, 1900, and 1908 elections, though his trip here wasn’t until much later, during the 1924 election, which ran John W. Davis of West Virginia for president and Charles Bryan (William’s brother) for Vice-President. In 1920, after a near derailment on the Mill Creek trestle in Millwood, Senator Warren Harding made known whistlestops at Mason and Point Pleasant and likely stopped at other towns as well. Like any good politician, he was quick to use this to his advantage, proclaiming at Mason that he would protect them from the Democrats’ “derailments.” One that many locals remember is also one that almost didn’t happen. On September 24, 1952, General Dwight Eisenhower was on his way from Huntington to Wheeling with no stops scheduled in between. However, Bartow Jones, who was then a state senator, convinced the politicians to make a whistlestop in Point Pleasant. Of course, they didn’t know that Jones also had a backup, a bulldozer that he had planned to park across the tracks if they said no! Luckily, that wasn’t necessary. Eisenhower stopped here for 15 minutes, and many students were bused over to see him. Not too long after, in 1960, Mason County had quite a few campaign visits! On April 18, Ted Kennedy made stops in Point Pleasant, Mason, Hartford, and New Haven while campaigning for his brother. According to a story passed down to me by Janet Ewing, he ate lunch with the Newtons in Hartford and was mistaken for his brother, JFK, while riding around town in their opentopped car. This was followed up by Robert Kennedy’s visit to Point Pleasant on May 8. Humbert Humphries, Kennedy’s rival for the Democratic ticket, also visited. On May 4, he stopped in Henderson, spoke at the farewell ceremonies for the Showboat Majestic, and visited Tu-Endie-Wei before continuing his campaign tour. I’m sure a closer reading of the old Register papers would find other campaign visits, but that is something to be saved for future articles and/or books.

The need for confession is frequently stressed in the Bible, and is important in Christianity. Nevertheless, the quote “confession is good for the soul” is believed to have come to us from the Scots as a proverb sometime in the 1800s, and not from the Bible. This story began shortly after Father Michael Holloran transferred to the St. Columbkille Parish in Wilmington from Dayton. On most weekdays Daily Mass is held at 9 a.m. at the local church, and I have long been a believer that offering the first part of our day at Mass is a good thing to do. It starts the day off right. Shortly after Father Mike’s arrival, he determined and everyone agreed that the church’s loudspeaker system that stammered and crackled was in dire need of upgrading and modernizing. Father Mike, being the prudent man he is, determined the best method to attain the finest speaker system for the church was to first try out a Pat Haley variety of models. During the trial Contributing period Father Mike would often ask columnist me, since I normally sat in the back of the church under one of the speakers, how well the system sounded “back there.” I would give my opinion, telling him when his voice came through loud, clear, or fuzzy and overmodulated. After several trial runs of different models, Father Mike decided a Bose speaker system best suited the acoustics of the church. One Sunday morning not long after the installation of the new amplifiers, I was sitting in my normal seat under the speaker near the back of the church. As many parishioners often do, I silenced my iPhone and placed it on vibrate as I entered the church. As time for the sermon came, my eyelids began to feel heavy. I always strive to achieve middle ground — remain awake, but mellow enough to enjoy the sermon. Some Sundays are better than others. Midway through the homily, Father Mike quoted St. Matthew, “So his fame spread throughout all Syria, and they brought him all the sick, those afflicted with various diseases and pains, those oppressed by demons, epileptics, and paralytics, and he healed them.” When Father Mike said “Syria”, my iPhone mistakenly thought he had said, “SIRI.” I took in a quick breath as my cellphone deep inside my pocket loudly announced, “Sorry. Can you say that again?” With the acoustics of the historic church the announcement reverberated throughout the place of worship. Needless to say, everyone in church, some with flashing eyes, turned around and glared toward the back. As any good Catholic boy would do, I turned around, too, as if seeking the offender, and then quickly bowed my head and continued praying. The pants I was wearing that morning were light-colored, making it easy to see the phone flashing inside my right front pocket. Thinking quickly and perhaps self-servingly, I placed my prayer book over my pocket until the heads of the parishioners had turned back around toward the altar. I was recently reminded of this incident when Father Mike gave the invocation and benediction at a function at the fairgrounds. Should I approach and confess to him the wayward iPhone on that fateful Sunday morning had been mine, or should I just let bygones be bygones? A couple of nights ago Brenda and I were watching a movie, “O Brother, Where Art Thou?” Tim Blake Nelson was playing the part of Delmar O’ Donnell, a not-too-bright individual, with ginger hair, who had just found salvation. Delmar said, “Well that’s it, boys. I’ve been redeemed. The preacher’s done washed away all my sins and transgressions. The preacher says all my sins are forgiven, including that Piggly Wiggly I knocked over in Yazoo.” Another character, Ulysses Everett McGill, said, “I thought you said you were innocent of those charges?” Delmar O’Donnell replied, “Well, I was lyin’. And the preacher says that that sin’s been washed away too. Neither God nor man’s got nothin’ on me now.” “C’mon in boys, the water’s fine!” Delmar added. When the movie was over, I stood up and asked SIRI about redemption. She replied, “Confession is good for the soul.” With that I quietly turned off my phone and went to bed. After all, tomorrow is another day. Pat Haley is former Clinton County Commissioner and former Clinton County Sheriff. THEIR VIEW Youth coalition aims to make a difference The Gallia County Youth Coalition is the youth contingent of Citizens for Prevention and Recovery. We have come together to speak out about our dissatisfaction with the condition of our community due to the drug epidemic. We are here to spread awareness of our community’s current state and to help make a real difference. Even if the people of our community tire of hearing about it, the fact still remains that the drug epidemic affects every single member of our community. Studies have shown that teens from drug abusing families are likely to follow the same path, so, as youth, we experience the Our brains tend effects of the drug to magnify the epidemic first-hand Gallia negative and for in our schools.

We have to crack down on big pharmaceutical corporations, and get these prices under control. It’s why my entire career I have pushed to allow Medicare to negotiate directly with drug companies for lower prices. Right now, the Secretary of Health and Human Services is banned from negotiating to get better prices for people on Medicare, the way the VA or private companies do. This protects big pharmaceutical corporations’ profits, at the direct expense of patients. That’s why I introduced legislation to give Medicare the power to negotiate directly with these corporations, and demand If drug compabigger discounts to nies want taxpayers lower costs. to keep protecting These compatheir monopolies, nies benefit from they need to charge huge taxpayer people fair prices. investment, and If they don’t, we’re then turn around going to hold them and charge those Sherrod accountable. same taxpayers Brown The purpose of exorbitant prices Contributing medicine is to help under government- columnist people – not to line protected monopothe pockets of Big lies – all while Pharma executives. reaping huge profits and I also introduced legpaying out massive CEO islation to crack down bonuses. on drug company price Under our plan, if gouging. drug companies refuse The Stop Price Gougto negotiate in good faith, the Secretary could ing Act would protect Ohioans from prescripforce competition into tion drug price spikes by the market by issuing a requiring drug companies license for the drug to to report and justify their another company, who decisions to increase could produce the drug prices, and penalize comas a generic.

This could result in billions of dollars in savings for taxpayers. President Trump keeps saying he wants to lower drug prices. But just like the jobs he said he’d bring back to the industrial heartland, so far we’ve seen nothing but empty promises. There were more than 4,000 brandname drug price increases in 2018 alone. It’s time we allowed the Secretary to negotiate lower prices for more than 44 million Americans on Medicare, and it’s time we held drug companies accountable for price gouging patients.

It has performed exactly as its architects planned.” The plaintiffs include groups such as the League of Women Voters of Ohio, Democratic organizations, and Democratic voters in GOP-held districts. The state has argued that the Democrats haven’t been unfairly affected since Republicans held 13 of Ohio’s seats in the U.S. House — compared to the Dem- ocrats’ five — before the redistricting. The state’s delegation lost two seats due to reapportionment after the 2010 census. “On its face, this is not an ‘injury,” and it is certainly not an injury ‘fairly traceable’ to the congressional map,” said a state motion to dismiss the suit filed by Republican Mike DeWine when he was still attorney general. DeWine is now Ohio’s governor. The state also argued that the lawsuit is untimely, with the next census only a year away. The American Civil Liberties Union of Ohio has said the challenge to the current 10-year map was made last year because the legal landscape has changed after other legal rulings addressing partisan gerrymandering. A North Carolina case is before the U.S. Supreme Court this month. A federal appeals court last month rejected Ohio’s request to delay the trial pending Supreme Court action on redistricting because of the need for time to potentially redraw the districts before the 2020 House elections if the plaintiffs prevail. Ohio voters last year approved Issue 1, which changes Ohio’s system for congressional mapmaking starting with the next census. Voting rights groups say that doesn’t mean Ohioans should have to wait until after another election to get fairly drawn districts. Associated Press writer Julie Carr Smyth contributed from Columbus, Ohio.

Teen with gun arrested ELYRIA, Ohio (AP) — Authorities say a 14-year-old boy who threatened to shoot $11. The one-day license may also be redeemed for credit toward the purchase of an annual fishing license. Licenses and permits can be purchased online at wildohio.gov and at participating agents throughout the state. A complete list of participating license sales agents can be found at wildohio.gov. Sales of fishing licenses along with the federal Sport Fish Restoration (SFR) program continue to fund the operation of the Division of Wildlife’s fish hatcheries. No state tax dollars are used for this activity. This is a user-pay, user-benefit program. The SFR program is a partnership between federal and state government, industry, anglers and boaters. When anglers purchase rods, reels, fishing tackle, fish finders and motor boat fuel, they pay an excise tax. The federal government collects these taxes, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service administers and disburses these funds to state fish and wildlife agencies. These funds are used to acquire habitat, produce and stock fish, conduct research and surveys, provide aquatic education to youth, and secure and develop boat accesses.

The Associated Press 77-year-old self-described democratic socialist will hold high-profile rallies NEW YORK — A young civil rights activist in Brooklyn and Chicago, where he’ll open up named Bernard Sanders was arrested and dragged about his working-class roots and early activism off to jail for protesting school segregation on the — including the arrest South Side of Chicago in — as he tries to prove he’s learned from his the summer of 1963. 2016 stumbles.

It’s all backed by the strongest points. fundraising operation As he launches his in the 2020 Democratic second presidential field. campaign this weekend, For this candidate, Sanders and his team are more than others, the new approach has risks. Turning to a more typical presidential campaign, including an appealing personal story, could help in some areas. But it also could threaten to alienate voters who have been drawn to Sanders’ aggressive policies and no-frills speeches. And while he won over millions of Democrats three years ago as the unpolished anti-establishment alternative to Hillary Clinton, he faces a much more complicated and crowded path to the nomination in 2020. But as the only repeat candidate, Sanders joins the 2020 Democratic field not an outlier, but a front-runner. The decision to shift his headquarters from Vermont to Washington, Shakir said, “is the sign of a confident candidate that’s just like, ‘Hey, we’re going to base this where it’s functionally attractive for me to be based. I’m not trying to play politics with this.’” Shakir and a team that features women and minorities in at least five senior roles so far replaces an overwhelmingly white, male team previously led by former campaign manager Jeff Weaver, who will stay on as a senior adviser. Sanders parted ways with three longtime media consultants who cited “creative differences” in deciding to leave the campaign. To address past concerns about sexual harassment and pay inequity, the new campaign will feature mandatory training highlighting an independent phone line to report issues and a fixed pay scale for virtually every position. By the end of the next week, the campaign expects to have roughly 35 people on the payroll, Shakir said. By comparison, Sanders’ campaign had only around two dozen people on the payroll in June 2015. Weaver said Sanders’ proven ability to raise money allows his second presidential campaign to be much more organized and deliberate with its resources.

The remaining speck of IS-controlled land in Baghouz village is also along the Euphrates from one side and the desert near the Iraqi border from the other. Thousands of civilians were living in a tent encampment and houses along the riverside. IN BRIEF Cop killer pleads guilty PAINESVILLE, Ohio (AP) — A man who struck and killed an Ohio police officer directing traffic and then fled the scene has pleaded guilty to charges. Twenty-four-year-old Brian Anthony, of Kirtland, entered pleas Friday to aggravated vehicular assault, failing to stop after an accident, operating a vehicle under the influence and failing to change lanes when approaching a safety vehicle. Authorities say Anthony struck 41-year-old Mentor police officer Mathew Mazany around 1 a.m. June 24 as Mazany assisted with a traffic stop on a Lake County freeway. Anthony surrendered to police later that day. A Lake County assistant prosecutor said Anthony tested positive for alcohol and heroin. Defense attorney Hector Martinez said Anthony is remorseful and wants to take “full responsibility” for Mazany’s death. Sentencing is April 12. Mentor is about 25 miles northeast of Cleveland. List of accused released COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A Roman Catholic diocese based in Ohio’s capital city has made public the names of 34 priests it says have been credibly accused of sexually abusing minors. The Diocese of Columbus said it reviewed the files of nearly 2,000 clergy who served in the diocese since its formation in 1868. The list includes allegations investigated while priests were still living, after they had died, and whether the abuse happened inside or outside the diocese. The diocese also included the name of a 35th priest whose alleged abuse is outlined in lawsuits but has yet to be confirmed by religious authorities. The Cleveland, Steubenville and Youngstown dioceses have released names of credibly accused priests. 2 arrested for illegal parking HAMILTON, Ohio (AP) — An Ohio sheriff suggests if you’re wanted by the law and have stolen goods in your car, don’t park illegally in a handicap spot in front of his headquarters. Butler County Sheriff Richard Jones says that’s what happened Thursday in Hamilton, a city about 33 miles north of Cincinnati. Jones says deputies approached the illegally parked car and arrested a 35-year-old man when he tried to flee on foot. Jones says the 31-year-old woman who’d parked the car came outside and saw the man being cuffed. Jones says the woman jumped into another parked vehicle and demanded that the driver, who had a baby onboard, help her get away. The driver refused and the woman was arrested. The pair was booked for outstanding arrest warrants. Do you want a quality education at an affordable price? =]\Īh]b\ ;WbYZf Look no further. Picture yo u r s e l f at R i o.

Republican Gov. Mike DeWine’s administration has recommended increasing the gas tax by 18 cents a gallon beginning July 1 and annually adjusting it for inflation to maintain roads and bridges. The Ohio Department of Transportation director has said the increase would provide revenue vital to highway improvement projects. Senate President Larry Obhof says he isn’t sure the road maintenance and construction system is in trouble or that an 18-cent increase is needed. The Republican from Medina Sunday Times-Sentinel says he thinks there should be an income-tax cut in any event. DeWine has described the 18-cent figure as “minimalist.” State House speaker open to idea of more revenue for roads COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio’s House speaker has indicated he’s open to the idea of more revenue for road and bridge maintenance although he hasn’t committed to any changes the House might make in the governor’s proposal for increasing Ohio’s gas tax to raise that revenue. Republican Speaker Larry Householder says a safe, well-maintained transportation system is essential and there’s no question it has a revenue issue. DeWine’s transportation budget calls for the proposed increase to begin July 1, with annual adjustments for inflation. The budget requires legislative approval.

The Point Pleasant boys basketball team had its remarkable 2018-19 campaign come to an emphatic close on Thursday night as the host Wildcats led wire-to-wire and had six players reach double figures during an 86-45 victory in a Class Bryan Walters|OVP Sports AA Region IV, Section Point Pleasant senior Bradyn Canterbury (15) dribbles past a Nitro 1 semifinal at Alumni defender as classmate Jordan Daubenmire (21) looks on during the second half of Thursday night’s Class AA Region IV, Section 1 Arena. Nitro (16-7) stormed semifinal contest in Nitro, W.Va. out to a quick 5-0 lead 42 seconds into regulation, but the fourth-seeded Big Blacks (8-16) countered with a 6-2 surge over the next minute and a half while closing to within 7-6 with 5:49 remaining. Point, however, missed its final 10 shot attempts of the first quarter, and NHS countered with 21 consecutive points that allowed the hosts to take a 28-6 cushion through eight minutes of play. The Big Blacks ended a 6:33 scoreless drought with a Braxton Yates basket 45 seconds into the second frame, then Hunter Bush tacked on a trifecta 30 seconds later that whittled the deficit down to 28-11 with 6:44 left in the half. PPHS was ultimately never closer, and the Wildcats closed the final six-plus minutes with a 26-7 charge that resulted in a commanding 54-18 halftime advantage. Nitro was near unconscious in the opening 16 minutes of play, making 21-of-37 field goal attempts for 57 percent. The hosts were also 8-of19 from behind the arc during that span. Point Pleasant, conversely, netted only 6-of27 field goal tries before halftime — including a 5-of-21 effort from 3-point range. The Big Blacks also trailed 24-10 on the boards, including an 8-3 discrepancy on the offensive glass. The Wildcats took their largest lead of the night at 68-22 on an Andrew Mahairas trifecta at the 3:45 mark of the third. Point closed the stanza with a 10-5 run and pulled to within 73-32 entering the finale. Both teams scored 13 points apiece down the stretch to wrap up 41-point outcome. See WILDCATS | 2B Busch brothers headlining NASCAR’s West Coast swing CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — The Busch Brothers lead NASCAR into its three-race West Coast swing coming off another set of accomplishments that have established them among the all-time greats of the sport. The Las Vegas natives return home as two of the headliners of NASCAR’s young season. Kyle Busch on Thursday finalized a multi-year contract extension with Joe Gibbs Racing to drive the No. 18 Toyota. This was a contract year for Busch but he locked up his new deal and avoided free agency. Last week, he made his 500th career Cup Series start — a sixth-place finish at Atlanta, where he drove from the back of the field in a backup car — and he set the Truck Series all-time win mark with his 52nd victory. Kurt Busch, meanwhile, celebrated his 650th career Cup start with a surprising third-place finish at Atlanta. He moved this year to Chip Ganassi Racing, a team that has struggled to consistently run up front, and Chevrolet has lagged behind its NASCAR rivals since it debuted the Camaro last season. Enter Kurt Busch, considered a throwback in that his sense and feel of a car can sometimes help engineers diagnose deficiencies. He prides himself in his knowledge and understanding of cars, rarities among many of his peers who simply drive and don’t crunch the numbers. “Each and every week you want to have a shot at it and Ganassi and Chevrolet, everybody knows we’ve got to push hard and we can’t expect anything to happen just off of good vibes or good feelings,” Busch said. “We have to go and apply all of the knowledge we can.” The race Sunday at Las Vegas Motor Speedway will be the first with NASCAR’s entire new competition package. A lesser version of the new rules debuted last weekend at Atlanta and did improve — albeit slightly — the on-track product. Las Vegas is expected to be the first true test of NASCAR’s plan to create closer, tighter racing. NASCAR has reduced both horsepower and downforce, and many believe it will create pack racing at Las Vegas. The new rules and the many unknowns regarding the racing this season have dominated conversation, but there have been other storylines. Earlier this week, Kyle Larson accused Hendrick Motorsports of gaming NASCAR’s inspection system. He basically accused Hendrick, his engine supplier at Ganassi, of cheating and then walked it back later that night on Twitter. “I feel terrible about it,” he wrote. “I meant it jokingly, but shouldn’t have implied they are anything but a strong competitor that gets better as the season goes on.” Ricky Stenhouse Jr. has aggravated half the field through two races with his aggressive driving, and series champions Joey Logano and Martin Truex Jr. are among those who have taken verbal shots at Stenhouse. He was not backing down. “I feel like I do everything that I have to do to make sure our car stays in the front,” he said. One element of the new rules package is that smaller teams may be able to close the gap on NASCAR’s powerhouses; Chris Buescher of JTGDaugherty Racing led the charge at Atlanta with a ninth-place finish. Ryan Preece, his rookie teammate, had a great Daytona 500 debut and a solid run last week until he crashed on pit road.

Notre Dame downs Lady Eagles, 48-38 By Alex Hawley ahawley@aimmediamidwest.com JACKSON, Ohio — One bad run and the postseason is done. The Eastern girls basketball team surrendered the first 11 points in the second half of Thursday’s Division IV district final at Jackson High School, and second-seeded EHS fell to top-seeded Portsmouth Notre Dame by a 48-38 final tally, ending the Lady Eagles’ season and their five-game winning streak. Notre Dame (24-1) — winner of eight straight decisions — took the initial edge in the contest, but the Lady Eagles (159) took a 7-4 lead with an Alyson Bailey threepointer at the 3:57 mark of the first quarter. Back-to-back free throws by Jess Parker extended the Lady Eagle advantage to 9-4 with 3:08 left in the first, but Notre Dame ended the period with an 8-to-2 spurt and a 12-11 edge. EHS senior Kelsey Casto made a free throw to open the second quarter and tie the game at 12, but a 9-to-2 run by the Lady Titans made the margin 21-14 with 2:55 left in the half. Bailey came up with the final three points of the half for the Lady Eagles, trimming the NDHS lead to 21-17 by the break. Notre Dame sank four field goals and a trio of free throws over the first 2:33 of the second half, stretching its advantage Eastern senior Alyson Bailey (24) launches a trifecta over a pair of Lady Titans, during Notre Dame’s 48-38 triumph in the D-4 district final on Thursday in Jackson, Ohio. to 32-17. Back-to-back buckets by Parker and Bailey stalled the spurt, but the Lady Titans immediately got those four points back and led 36-21 with 1:43 left in the third. Eastern scored six of the final seven points in the period, but the Lady Titans began the fourth with a 6-to-2 run and led 43-29 with 5:55 to play. The Lady Eagles claimed the next seven points — five by Bailey and two by Parker — but were held scoreless for the next 2:30, as NDHS added two to its lead. EHS sophomore Kennadi Rockhold made a two-pointer with 1:18 to go, cutting Notre Dame’s advantage to seven points, but the Lady Titans hit 3-of-4 free throws to seal the 48-38 victory. Following the setback, third-year EHS head coach Jacob Parker talked about his team’s effort against the fifth-ranked team in the final D-4 AP Poll. “I’m pretty damn proud of my girls, they executed the game plan very nicely,” Coach Parker said. “You take that 11-0 run out of it, who knows what could happen, but we don’t live in the land of what-ifs. Notre Dame is a great team, and played a great game. I know the scoreboard reflects something different, but I believe we gave them everything they wanted. I’m still super, super proud of my team.” For the game, EHS shot 14-of-51 (27.5 percent) from the field, including 2-of-16 (12.5 percent) from three-point range. Meanwhile, Notre Dame was 18-of-44 (40.9 percent) from the field, including 2-of-13 (15.4 percent) from deep. At the foul line, Eastern was 8-of-11 (72.7 percent), while NDHS was 10-of-16 (62.5 percent). The Lady Eagles claimed a narrow 28-to-27 rebounding edge, despite Notre Dame winning the offensive glass by an 11-to-9 count. Eastern also won the turnover battle by one, forcing 16 and committing 15. EHS had team totals of nine assists, eight steals and one block, while the Lady Titans combined for 10 assists, 10 rejections and nine steals. Bailey led all-scorers with 19 points, featuring the Eastern’s only two three-pointers. Parker had 10 points and three assists for Eastern, Rockhold added six points and five rebounds, while Ashton Guthrie tallied two points. Casto rounded out the EHS total with one point, to go with eight rebounds and three assists. Olivia Barber pulled in six rebounds in the setback, while Rockhold blocked a shot. Parker led the defense with four steals, followed by Bailey with two.

No, not just with his colossal contract — Harper and the Phillies agreed Thursday to a $330 million, 13-year deal that is the largest contract in baseball history. But as an attraction. Harper zipped to the top of the list as the city’s most popular athlete, adding a dash of star power while raising payroll, projections and prices to a franchise that has lagged in popularity in the shared sports complex behind Super Bowl champions, a Process and a mascot. “One of the best players in baseball,” Phillies manager Gabe Kapler said. With Harper set to take his cuts in Philly, the question is raised: Are the Phillies the team to beat in the NL East? That’s a clown question, bro. The betting odds shifted faster than the Astros’ infield once Harper landed in Philly. The Phillies’ odds at winning the division went from 2-1 to 5-4; the pennant from 7-1 to 4-1 and the World Series from 12-1 to 8-1. After leading their division in early August, the Phillies went 16-33 over the final 49 games early to hit ticket windows and score face value tickets on the cheap (if not resell at a tidy profit) for his debut. Just wait until his jersey goes on sale. Harper wore No. 34 in Washington but that number hasn’t been worn by a Phillies player since Hall of Famer Roy Halladay died piloting a plane in 2017. Harper, who makes the short list with Pete Rose, Jim Thome and Cliff Lee as biggest free-agent signings in franchise history, is one of the few pay-to-watch players in baseball. And Phillies fans — who cheered fellow free-agent Manny Machado during the team’s public flirtation with the San Diego Padres star — will pay stupid money for their seats. But he’s not the only new face in Philly worth watching. Manuel Balce Ceneta | AP “I certainly think that the city Washington Nationals’ Bryce Harper (34) bows his head and raises his arms with clenched fists as the Nationals celebrate and bid goodbye to their fans ending their last home game of the season with a 9-3 rain-delayed win against the Miami of Philadelphia would embrace Bryce Harper,” Kapler said. “I Marlins in Washington on Sept. 26, 2018. think he would be very happy in this city because our fans Series championship.

PPHS coach Josh Williams noted afterwards that Nitro was everything that one should expect from a senior-laden squad that holds the top seed in the bracket. He also believed, given the Wildcats’ effectiveness from behind the 3-point line, that his troops could very well be sitting where Nitro currently is a year from now. The difference will come down to the work they put in this offseason. “We knew we were facing a tough task after watching film and they are the number one seed in this region for a reason. There’s a lot more to Nitro than just a couple of good players to focus on. They have some talented players, good shooters and some depth too. They do a lot of things well … and we were just on our heels all night long,” Williams said. “They represent where we want our basketball program to get. We had a positive year and accomplished some things that we wanted to accomplish, and we have good core scheduled to be back next year. We have a chance to have something special next year, but it’s going to take a lot more hard work between now and then to make that possible. We cannot be satisfied with where our skill set is right now … we need to keep improving.” Point Pleasant’s top three scorers — all of whom average double digits — are underclassmen, so seeing the program go from three wins a year ago to eight now is encouraging with that type of firepower coming back. It was, however, the final basketball game in the Red and Black for seniors Jordan Daubenmire, Evan Cobb and Bradyn Canterbury. Williams noted that the trio left a positive mark on the program and that they should all be proud of what their leadership Bryan Walters|OVP Sports Point Pleasant sophomore Hunter Bush (23) releases a shot attempt over a pair of Nitro defenders during the first half of Thursday night’s Class AA Region IV, Section 1 semifinal contest in Nitro, W.Va. and experience has meant to this squad’s resurgence. “Not every class gets to celebrate championships and those type of things, but our three seniors can take a lot of pride in knowing that they helped us get this program jumpstarted. We more than doubled our win total and won our first tournament game in a few years, so those are things that their leadership brought to the table,” Williams said. “It may take a few years for them to realize what they’ve helped establish here, but they can definitely hold their heads up and take some pride in their time with the program. These guys have played a big part in our future successes.” Nitro outrebounded the guests by a sizable 52-31 overall margin, including an 18-12 edge on the offensive glass. Point also committed 10 of the 18 turnovers in the contest, which also featured 88 combined 3-point attempts. The Big Blacks — who won six of their final 10 contests — netted 17-of65 field goal attempts for 26 percent, including a 10-of-46 effort from behind the arc for 22 percent. The guests were also 1-of-4 at the free throw line for 25 percent. Bush led PPHS with 14 points and Aidan Sang followed with 13 points, with Yates adding eight points and a team-high eight rebounds. Canterbury chipped in four markers, while Kyelar Morrow and Trey Peck completed things with three points each. Daubenmire and Canterbury hauled in four rebounds apiece. Bush, Sang and Damon Thompson also grabbed three boards each in the setback. The Wildcats made 32-of-72 shot attempts for 44 percent overall, including a 15-of-42 effort from behind the arc for 36 percent. NHS was also 4-of-7 at the charity stripe for 57 percent. Brady Jones paced the Wildcats with 14 points, with Zander Schmitt and Joel Sweat each contributing 13 markers. Kolton Painter and Zane Brooks followed with 11 points apiece, while Mahairas also added 10 points. Joey Buckalew and Jonathan Brooks were next with six markers each and Trevor Lowe completed things winning tally with two points. Buckalew grabbed a game-high 12 rebounds for the hosts, who produced all but 13 points from their senior class.

The goal is the same, to make sure we are ejecting players properly for the right reasons and if they don’t commit the foul then we’re not going to eject them. I don’t see it as necessarily backing down.” Under the second proposal, players who receive a second targeting foul during the season would be suspended for the entire next game, not just the first half. Steve Shaw said in the two conferences he oversees as coordinator of officials — the Southeastern Conference and Sun Belt — he can recall only one player in each league receiving multiple targeting penalties in a season. The overtime rule change was proposed after LSU and Texas A&M matched a record by playing seven overtimes in their regularseason finale last year. The Tigers and Aggies combined to run 207 offensive plays. On average, 37 Bowl Subdivision games have gone to overtime over the past four seasons. Most end after one round of possessions. Only six games per season have gone past two overtimes, but the concern was those rare marathons came with increased injury risk for players. “We wanted to have something where we don’t change the integrity of our system, which we all love,” David Shaw said. “You pass four overtimes, you pass five overtimes and now you’re worried about player safety.” Current overtime rules give teams alternating possessions starting at the opponent’s 25-yard line. If still tied after each team has two possessions, teams must attempt a 2-point conversion after scoring a touchdown instead of kicking an extra point. If the proposal passes, after the fourth possession, games would come down to a 2-point play shootout, with the first team to get a score and a stop winning. “It still feels like football,” David Shaw said. The committee also proposed eliminating the two-man wedge formation on kickoffs that result in sprinting players running into double-team blocks. A proposal regarding blind-side blocks would make it illegal to attack an opponent with forcible contact from the blind side. LM Otero | AP file Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Kyler Murray poses with the Davey O’Brien football award Feb. 18 in Fort Worth, Texas. Murray’s measurements were among the most anticipated at this year’s NFL scouting combine after he spurned the Oakland Athletics and a career in Major League Baseball for a shot at the NFL. Murray followed his heart Chose football over baseball INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — When Kyler Murray joined the Heisman Trophy club in December, Charlie Ward thought about his initiation in 1993. Back then, the Florida State quarterback was the shiny new star, ready to embark on a world full of options. Everyone wanted to know if the promising dual-sport phenom could become the next Deion Sanders, the next Bo Jackson or perhaps an even bigger celebrity. His talent was off-thechart good, and he seemed destined to be a winner wherever he went. A few weeks later, Ward sealed his fate by working harder on basketball than preparing for the NFL draft. The former NBA player never regretted that decision and doesn’t believe Murray should either after choosing football over baseball. “It was calculated and a risk, but it’s what I wanted to do,” Ward told The Associated Press earlier this week. “It’s the same thing I shared with Kyler at the Heisman dinner — when you make your decision, take your time and know there are consequences. I knew I wasn’t probably going to end up getting drafted (by the NFL) because I wasn’t 100 percent committed.” Murray insisted again Friday at the NFL’s annual scouting combine that he’s all-in on football, assuring Ward he’ll still be the last Heisman Trophy winner to never play a down in the NFL. If everything goes right this week in Indianapolis, at Oklahoma’s pro day in mid-March and during the first day of the April draft, Murray will have one of the rarest resume lines in sports: First-round draft pick by the NFL and Major League Baseball. Not even Ward can’t boast about being a twotime first round pick — though he did start for the 1998-99 NBA runner-up New York Knicks. For Murray, it was an easy call. “Yes, it’s my final decision,” he told a throng of reporters Friday. “I’m here. I’m ready to go. There’s no turning back.” For others, the choice wasn’t so simple. Ward, now a high school basketball coach in Tallahassee, Florida, made up his mind when NFL scouts knocked him for his size and projected him as a mid-round pick. Murray heard similar questions before measuring in at 5-foot-10 1/8 in Indy. Sanders and Jackson, of course, balanced two-sport careers until essentially being forced to choose one. Tim Tebow, the 2007 Heisman winner, bounced around the NFL for several years then began pursuing a baseball career. Some, such as San Francisco Giants pitcher Jeff Samardzija, even have second thoughts. Smaradzija made up his mind after reporting to Notre Dame for football in 2006 after a six-week, minor-league stint. The side-by-side comparison helped the talented receiver select the sport that made him happier. But after working his way from the minors to the majorleague level, Samaradzija wondered if he made the wrong choice when he was sent down in 2009. “I called up my agent and said, ‘All right, start lining up tryouts.’” he said. “We talked a day or two later and let the senses cool. I thought that looked chintzy to just quit right then and there. I wanted to give it a little more (time). It’s a learning process.” Murray believes it won’t happen to him. Since making the announcement Feb. 11, he has continually rejected any notion he’ll change sports — or use baseball as leverage. But football executives can’t simply take Murray at his word. Team doctors will spend this weekend poking and prodding Murray’s body for injuries, scouts will evaluate Murray’s strength and speed, and the league’s decision-makers will probe to see how committed Murray is to the sport. Marcio Jose Sanchez | AP file American Team quarterback Kyle Shurmur, left, runs past National Team defensive tackle Jay-Tee Tiuli during the second half of the NFLPA Collegiate Bowl football game Jan. 19 in Pasadena, Calif. Shurmurs make NFL combine a father-son affair INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — There’s one quarterback at the NFL scouting combine that New York Giants coach Pat Shurmur has absolutely fallen in love with, and it’s not Kyler Murray, Dwayne Haskins, Drew Lock, Daniel Jones or Ryan Finley. It’s Kyle Shurmur, his 22-year-old son who threw 50 touchdowns over the last two seasons for Vanderbilt. “Well, I’m extremely proud of him,” the Giants coach said. “He’s made great decisions. He did an excellent job in high school giving himself the opportunity to go to a place like Vanderbilt. He graduated in 3½ years, helped them win games. He’s a good player. Kyle Shurmur isn’t quite in the same league as the top-flight QBs , but at 6-foot-4 and 225 pounds, a degree in economics and a background that includes a near equal split between under center and shotgun formations over four years in the SEC, he projects as a bona fide pro prospect. Chances are good he’ll be on somebody’s depth chart come fall. Maybe even the Giants’ roster. “I’d be grateful for any opportunity I get,” Kyle said. Even if that means facing his father instead of playing for him. “Any opportunity I get I’ll be really appreciative,” Kyle said. He already has an advantage the other QBs don’t. In preparing for the combine, he received tips not only from his agent, Tom Condon, but he also got plenty of fatherly advice about what to expect. “Growing up I always watched the combine on TV and you only see maybe the bench press, but then you see the onfield drills,” Kyle said, noting it’s so much more than that. “It’s a five-day process. He mentally prepared me for that. My agent and him sort of gave me the scoop of what to expect, five days as opposed to one day.” Of course, Pat Shurmur has been doling out direction all of Kyle’s life. “Everyone thinks he wants me to be a great quarterback,” Kyle said. “I think he wants me to be a great person first and foremost. And I think that’s a foundation for a great quarterback.” An All-Big 10 center at Michigan State, Pat Shurmur never pushed his son to play in the trenches. “No, in fact he said growing up, make sure you play a position where your hand is not in the ground,” Kyle said. Rarely did he talk technique with his son. “I had great coaches at Vanderbilt,” Kyle said. “They coached me hard, coached me well, and he sort of stayed out of it.” While he shares his father’s passion for football, Kyle wants to follow him into the NFL but not into coaching. “My dad was always going into work super early, coming back really late at night. My mom was sort of on her own a whole lot, so I don’t know if I’d love the coaching style,” Kyle said. “But being the player, I got a great opportunity right now and obviously being a player would be amazing. It’s been my dream my whole life.” Kyle had something else the rest of this year’s QB class didn’t: access to the likes of Donovan McNabb, Sam Bradford, Colt McCoy and Brandon Weeden while growing up; he’d help out at training camps in Philadelphia, St. Louis and Cleveland.

Brown doesn’t see it that way. According to a transcript provided by HBO, the four-time All-Pro told LeBron James on James’ HBO show “The Shop” that there’s “too much smoke” between Brown and the team for Brown to play for Pittsburgh in 2019. Brown’s conversation with James marked his first extended public comments since requesting a trade last month. The Steelers are shopping Brown but general manager Kevin Colbert has stressed the team won’t cut him or make any personnel move that would be detrimental to the team, reiterating there’s a possibility the Steelers won’t move Brown if they don’t receive what they consider fair value. Brown, speaking with a group that included James, rapper Meek Mill, actor Jamie Foxx and New Orleans Pelicans center Anthony Davis, took issue with the way the team has portrayed him after benching him for the regular season finale against Cincinnati. Brown says he told head coach Mike Tomlin he was banged up, and Tomlin then told him to go home. Tomlin said the team benched Brown because Brown declined to update them on his health in the 24 hours leading up to kickoff. “It’s a controlled environment to where they could, they could kind of determine if, if they want to let me eat or not,” Brown said. Brown said the team only labeled him a “distraction” after he started “doing his own thing.” “That’s the narrative they try to create,” Brown said. Brown added he has a problem with quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. Brown said Roethlisberger “feels like he’s the owner.” Brown pointed to Roethlisberger’s comments about Brown running the wrong route in the end zone in the final moments of a loss to Denver late in the regular season. Roethlisberger threw an interception on the play. Brown feels Roethlisberger should have taken more responsibility. “I’m over here wide open!” Brown said. “You need to give me a better ball! But it’s like in the league, you’re going to have a guy from the team that’ll be like, ‘Boy, you can’t say nothing.’” NFL salary cap jumps $11 million to $188.2 million NEW YORK (AP) — The NFL’s salary cap will jump $11 million next season to $188.2 million. In the ninth year of the 10-year labor agreement, the cap moves up from $177.2 million. It has increased in every year of the contract, with the biggest move in 2015 to 2016, when it went up by just under $12 million. This is the third year out of four in which clubs must reach 89 percent in cash spending, and the NFL Players Association said Friday that four teams are under that threshold: Dallas, Buffalo, Indianapolis and Houston. League expenditures for benefits are $40.5 million per team. Add that to the salary cap number and each club’s player costs are above $228 million. Benefits includes pension payments to former players; the Bell/ Rozelle retirement and disability plan for active players; annuities and 401 (k) plans; health care; injury protection and severance; veteran performance-based pay; a separate pool of performance-based pay that’s essentially a cash bonus to players who outperform their contracts. With the NFL’s revenues at more than $14 billion and every team worth at least $1.6 billion (Buffalo), with a high of about $5 billion (Dallas), it’s hardly a surprise how high the cap has gone. In the first year of the current CBA, reached after a lockout of the players from March-July 2011, the cap was $120 million. It has increased by at least $10 million every year since 2014, when it went up to $133 million from $123 million. There should be plenty of money available to free agents when the league’s business year begins March 13. On average, teams have about $35 million in space after making offseason moves, with more certain to come. Also, only placekicker Robbie Gould of San Francisco has been given a franchise tag; the deadline is Tuesday. Two clubs, Philadelphia and Jacksonville, still must make moves to get under the cap. Agents for players can begin negotiating freeagent deals with teams on March 11, but can’t officially close them before 4 p.m. EDT on March 13. Alliance finds new partners in commercial world Changes to NBA All-Star Game ‘an earring on a pig’ By Barry Wilner Associated Press BOSTON (AP) — NBA Commissioner Adam Silver says he would consider shortening the regular season, but only if the league could develop something meaningful to do to replace the games — and revenue — they would be giving up. Speaking at the MIT Sloan Sports Analytics Conference on Friday, Silver raised the idea of replacing the AllStar Game with a midseason or preseason tournament in which teams would compete for a separate championship, like they do in European soccer. Or groups of teams could compete in minitournaments in Asia or Europe. The problem, Silver said, is how to make these other events meaningful. “The All-Star Game didn’t work,” he said, calling it “an afterthought” of the weekend despite changes like tinkering with the rosters through a player draft that was made public for the first time. “I get it. We put an earring on a pig.” The league is unlikely to make any changes — at least not any time soon — if only because a 70-game schedule like the one Silver discussed would require each team to give up six home games. Although players and coaches would love to see a shorter season, none is excited about taking a 20 percent pay cut. But the analytics conference in Boston’s Bay Bay convention center gives Silver the opportunity to think aloud about ways to make the NBA better. In past years he has addressed possible changes to the draft to discourage teams from tanking, but this year’s hot topic was New Orleans Pelicans star Anthony Davis. Silver said Davis’ public trade request (through his agent) was a problem for the league, but not all that different than other players who made the request behind the scenes. It’s too early to tell what impact the Alliance of American Football will have on the sport itself. After all, this is its fourth weekend of games. Away from the field, with an infusion of backing to the tune of $250 million from Tom Dundon, owner of the NHL’s Carolina Hurricanes, the AAF is finding its footing. It’s also finding what co-founder Charlie Ebersol calls “substantial interest” in the league in such areas as sponsorships and partnerships, with three new partners signing on since the season opener three weeks ago. “It has been an interesting ride for us, and part of the challenge of launching is that we were focused on the product on the field,” Ebersol says. “We needed to make sure we got that right. “Then the first weekend we had huge ratings. I got to meet Tom and he stepped in as chairman. It also brought a lot of sponsors to the table we had not had before. A lot of the traditional sponsors had come to sample us and would say, ‘I want to see what happens.’ We only began negotiating the bigger partnerships and that story is only growing. We’re blessed that the growth of the league week after week allows us to engage with them.” Indeed, Ebersol notes, the AAF’s increase in viewership on the night of the Academy Awards spurred more interest in his eight-team league. “A lot of the agencies are coming to the table,” Ebersol adds, then promises “you are going to see the financial and automotive (industries) now integrating into our broadcasts over the next few weeks.” For now, there are six official partners, including three newcomers since Feb. 9 in Navy Federal Credit Union (banking); Wheels Up (aviation); and At Home (home decor). Others are MGM Resorts (gambling), the league’s first partner; New Era (head wear); and STARTER (uniform). Why would a company get involved with a startup sports venture, particularly in pro football, where the NFL, even with its warts, is so dominant? MGM, for example, is an investor in the league, whose season will end on April 28 with a title game. The CEO of At Home, Lee Bird, attended the Alliance opener on Feb. 9 in San Antonio with his son. He not only signed up as a partner, he began calling other potential partners, encouraging them to get involved. “When the Alliance debuted with this unique platform allowing us to continue to reach customers through high-quality spring football, we leapt at the opportunity to become a partner,” Bird says. “The Alliance gives us an ideal vehicle to promote At Home …” The company even has branding on the jerseys of the Salt Lake Stallions and San Antonio Commanders this season. Dundon, whose Hurricanes have become among the most creative marketers in hockey, is looking for more such integration in the Alliance. “Because the broadcast looks good and there have been good ratings,” he says of the games televised by CBS, CBSSN, Turner and NFL Network, “what we need to think through is how do we give our partners or sponsors more than buying a traditional ad? Redesigning the football, perhaps? How we do replay? Multiple broadcasts that are streamed if the viewer is not a person who wants to watch the regular traditional broadcast? These are some of the things we think are pretty exciting, so how do we get the real benefits for us and (league sponsors)? “We want to keep this league very intriguing with the things we have in mind, innovation with sponsors and technology, and hopefully do what people want to get more engaged with the brand and with our football.” Ebersol points to strong merchandise sales, noting that some DICK’S Sporting Goods outlets have sold out of AAF paraphernalia in league cities. “We do special displays in the eight markets, and they have needed restocking in multiple markets,” he says. “Someone had to go to three stores to get the product they wanted.” What Ebersol, Dundon and Pro Football Hall of Fame executive Bill Polian, the Alliance’s other founder, believe America wants is what the AAF says it can provide: quality spring football as something of a developmental league for the NFL, with which it has no affiliation.

DETROIT (AP) — Antoine Davis dribbled slowly past midcourt, went toward the right sideline and created space from the defender with a jab step to the right before putting the ball between his legs to his left and stepping back for a 30-foot shot. Swish . The Detroit Mercy guard broke Stephen Curry’s freshman 3-point record with the higharcing shot from deep on the right wing early in the second half of an 87-85 win over IUPUI on Thursday night. “I couldn’t help but smile,” Davis said at a postgame news conference. “I was trying to keep my composure with crowd clapping and the standing ovation. “The feeling is unreal.” The no-doubt shot was No. 123 beyond the arc this season, surpassing the mark Curry set at Davidson 12 years ago. “I’ve heard about him, yeah,” said Curry, who wasn’t aware earlier this week he was still holding the Division I record for 3-pointers made by a freshman. “Records are meant to be broken, for sure.” Davis’ feat was celebrated briefly in front of just 1,786 witnesses at Calihan Hall, where the public-address Carlos Osorio | AP Detroit Mercy guard Antoine Davis (0) attempts a 3-point basket as IUPUI guard Nick Rogers (10) defends during the second half of an NCAA basketball game Thursday in Detroit.

Davis swished a 30-footer from the right wing for shot No. 123 beyond the arc to surpass the mark Curry set at Davidson 12 years ago. announcer informed the crowd that history was made while a graphic was shown on the video boards to recognize Curry’s record was broken. “I was nervous for him the last two weeks,” said Titans coach Mike Davis, sitting alongside his son at the postgame news conference.

And, he’s playing 37-plus minutes per game. “He has trained hard over the last four or five years for this moment,” his father said.
