Five years ago: Democrat Hillary Clinton conceded the presidential election to Republican Donald Trump, telling supporters in New York that her defeat was “painful, and it will be for a long time.” But Clinton told her faithful to accept Trump and the election results, urging them to give him “an open mind and a chance to lead.” One year ago: President Donald Trump fired Defense Secretary Mark Esper, injecting more uncertainty to a rocky transition period as Joe Biden prepared to assume the presidency; Trump said Christopher Miller, director of the National Counterterrorism Center, would serve as acting secretary. Attorney General William Barr authorized federal prosecutors to pursue “substantial allegations” of voting irregularities before the presidential election was certified, despite no evidence of widespread fraud; the action raised the prospect that Trump would use the Justice Department to try to challenge the outcome. The Trump administration blocked government officials from cooperating with President-elect Joe Biden’s team on a transition. Georgia’s two Republican senators called for the resignation of the state’s top election official, Brad Raffensperger, a fellow Republican, who had said there weren’t enough doubtful votes to tip Georgia into the Trump column.

Seth Fletcher was serving a two-year sentence at Chillicothe Correctional Institution in southern Ohio in April 2020 when his attorney says he was tackled, handcuffed and dropped by guards. The 21-year-old Fletcher was left paralyzed from the chest down with a spinal cord injury. Fletcher was seized during a strip search on April 3, 2020, when guards caught the inmate with a cigarette they suspected was laced with drugs, accord- ing to reports by the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and the Ohio Highway State Patrol. Guards dropped Fletcher while dragging him to a suicide watch cell and poured water on his face and into his nose when he asked for water, records show. One guard bragged afterward that he had waterboarded Fletcher. Fletcher filed a federal civil rights lawsuit against the prisons agency, and the settlement was announced last week in a federal court filing. Prisons spokesperson JoEllen Smith said the parties agreed to settle and the terms were being worked out.

Senior Elicia Wood gave the Point Pleasant football team a permanent lead with a 19-yard field goal with 3:30 left in regulation as the guests held on and claimed a hard-fought 17-14 victory over Winfield Friday night in a Week 11 non-conference matchup in Putnam County. The visiting Big Blacks (9-1) never trailed in the contest after building leads of 7-3, 7-6 and 14-6 through the end of each of the first three stanzas. The Generals (5-5) — who entered the game needing a win to keep their slim playoff hopes alive — rallied to tie things up after a 31-yard touchdown pass from Brycen Brown to Carter Perry with 9:09 remaining, making it a 14-all contest. PPHS — which came up short at the end of the first half on a 1-yard rushing attempt — didn’t make the same mistake twice as the guests were left facing a fourth-and-goal at the WHS 2. Wood was sent in to attempt the 19-yard field goal for the lead, and the senior 3-year starter delivered with a true kick through the uprights for a 17-14 edge with 3:30 left. The Generals moved their ensuing possession down to the PPHS 45, but Trey Peck came up with the Point’s only takeaway following an interception with under two minutes remaining. The guests ran the clock down to all zeroes from there to complete the 3-point triumph. The Big Blacks — winners of nine in-a-row now — entered the game fifth in the Class AA ratings and will likely move up after No. 4 Lincoln lost to Bridgeport on Friday night. A top-4 finish in the standings would mean that PPHS would be eligible to host at least two playoff games in the next few weeks. Point Pleasant established an early lead at the 5:05 mark of the first period as Gavin Jeffers rumbled 53 yards. Wood tacked on the first of two successful PAT kicks for a 7-0 advantage. Mor Ilderton added a 30-yard field goal with 2:01 left in the opener, then tacked on a 32-yarder with 3:57 left in the half — allowing the Generals to enter halftime down 7-6.

Black Knights fall in state finals By Colton Jeffries cjeffries@aimmediamidwest.com BECKLEY, W.Va. — That darn luck of the Irish. The Point Pleasant boys soccer team fell 4-3 in overtime to the Charleston Catholic Irish in the finals of the WVSSAC Class A-AA Boys Soccer State Tournament Saturday morning. Down two goals with seven minutes to go, the Black Knights scored two goals to force overtime. The start of Saturday’s game was the definition of ‘deadlock’, with both teams’ defenses doing a good job of containing the opposition. The first shot on goal occurred 18 minutes in, with Point senior Nick Cichon-Ledderhose kicking a free kick dead center of the Irish goal. In the last 10 minutes of the first half, Catholic started getting a firmer grasp of the total offense, spending a lot of time on Point Pleasant’s half of the field. Another thing going against the Black and Red was foul trouble, with three Black Knights getting yellow cards in the first half. The first goal of the game came with 95 “This is the most successful senior class that has ever went through Point soccer. They’ve won more games than any other class and it’s not even close. The seniors constantly showed leadership, even the ones who weren’t named captains. They are an outstanding group of individuals.” – Chip Wood Point head coach seconds to go before halftime with Catholic’s Robert Groom scoring on a short breakaway. In a rare sight for the 2021 season, the Black Knights were down on the scoreboard heading into the second half. The Irish picked up where they left off, putting on more shots on the Black Knight goal, including a goal scored by midfielder Billy Ford seven minutes in. Down 2-0, the Black Knights were starting to feel the pressure, making communication mistakes and just not playing with the same energy they had in the first half. That all changed when junior Ian Wood scored a goal for the Black Knights with 16 minutes to go, giving the Black and Red a much-needed shot in the arm. Although this momentum was quickly stopped when Samuel Delgra scored on an Irish free kick five minutes later to put Point down by two goals once again. Having a lot of ground to cover in such little time, the Black Knights got to work with just under seven minutes to go, with Wood scoring his second goal off a goalie deflection. Then, with 90 seconds to go, the Irish goalie had a foul called on him when he hung onto the ball after making a save, giving the Black Knights a free kick inside of the Catholic box. Wood got the hat trick by sinking the free kick in the back of the net, forcing overtime. There was only one shot made during overtime, and it was Groom who made it, capitalizing on an Irish corner kick four minutes in to win the championship for the Green and White. The only shots for the Black Knights were made by Ledderhose and Woods, who had three shots each throughout Saturday’s game. Groom led the Irish in shots with five. Black Knight goalie Brecken Louden had six saves, while John Patnoe had three for the Irish. Point head coach Chip Wood said he’s proud of the mettle his team showed. “It told me they were everything I thought they were,” he said. “They were a group of guys that would not quit. They were going to play until the last whistle. I’m proud of them for sticking with it.” Wood also praised the leadership his outgoing group of seniors gave. “This is the most successful senior class that has ever went through Point soccer,” he said. “They’ve won more games than any other class and it’s not even close. The seniors constantly showed leadership, even the ones who weren’t named captains. They are an outstanding group of individuals.” The Black Knights end the 2021 season with a 22-2-1 record. © 2021 Ohio Valley Publishing, all rights reserved.

The Point Pleasant boys soccer team defeated the Herbert Hoover Huskies 2-0 in the semifinals of the WVSSAC Class A-AA Boys State Tournament Friday morning. This was the program’s first state semifinal win, after coming up short in a penalty shootout against Charleston Catholic in the semfinals of last year’s tournament. The Black Knights (221-2) maintained control of the offense throughout much of the first half, making use of quick passes and deep crosses to keep the ball away from the Huskies (18-4-3). The place they struggled with initially was getting their shots on target, making only one shot on goal in the early minutes of the first half. However, as the minutes wore on they did find a couple more shots hit inside the box, but Colton Jeffries|OVP Sports Point Pleasant senior Jaden Reed (10) punts the ball from a corner kick during a soccer game against Herbert Hoover in the semifinals of the WVSSAC Class AA-A Boys State Tournament Friday in Beckely, W.Va. they were all saved by Husky goalie Gabe Deel. The Black and Red defense held stout throughout the first half, keeping Hoover from getting any shots on goal. As the whistle blew for halftime, juniors Colton Young, Wesley Lee and Brooks Gilley all had shots on the Husky goal. Contending but stumbling, Bengals regroup for second half By Mitch Stacy AP Sports Writer CINCINNATI — The off week is coming at an opportune time for the Cincinnati Bengals, who followed a promising start to the 2021 season with two bumbling losses in a row. Who knows which version of the Bengals will show up next? The Bengals (5-4) are still a much improved and so far winning team — they’ve already won one more game than all of last year — but there’s no question the past two weeks have been a mess. So there is some measure of hand-wringing in the Cincinnati camp at the halfway point, but confidence that the culture coach Zac Taylor has worked hard to build will keep the team from spiraling. Fortunately for the Bengals, there’s also a bye week to help them try to reset. “I think people are going to try to paint a picture of overreaction when you lose two games in a row — we’re not,” Taylor said, “We’re going to correct those things that we need to correct and use this bye week to get our bodies back and make sure we’re healthy going into the back half of the season. “This isn’t unusual for teams to lose two games in a row in this league,” he said. “It feels awful, trust me, to sit here after two consecutive losses. It’s important we’re consistent with our approach throughout. We know we’ve done some good things over these first nine games of the season.” The Bengals were rolling at 5-2, their best start in six years, picking up their fifth victory with a joyful 41-7 smashing of AFC North bully Baltimore on the road. Then something happened, although nobody can say exactly what. The Bengals took a baffling 34-31 loss to the then-1-5 New York Jets. On Sunday they got kicked all over Paul Brown Stadium by the Cleveland Browns, whose 41-16 victory was the largest margin over their in-state rivals since 1987. With no Husky shots in the first half, that meant sophomore keeper Brecken Louden had no saves. The Black Knights started the second half with a feeling of urgency, peppering the Hoover goal with shots, but still not getting any past the goalie. That all changed 14 minutes into the second half when Young got a short pass from junior Ian Wood and kicked the ball into the back of the net. Even with a lead, Point Pleasant didn’t let their play get sloppy. Although the Huskies did manage to sneak in a couple shots on their goal, they never gave con- Aaron Doster | AP By Bryan Walters CLEVELAND (AP) — Cavaliers starting guard Collin Sexton will be sidelined indefinitely after suffering a knee injury on Sunday in a win over the New York Knicks.

The team said Sexton has a meniscus tear in his knee, which will require additional testing and evaluation. The Cavs did not say anything about surgery. Sexton’s recovery time will be determined by the severity of the tear. However, it’s likely he’ll be out for an extended period and his absence will test Cleveland’s depth and force coach J.B. Bickerstaff to adjust playing time.
