BMV to
send DL
renewal
reminders
COLUMBUS — Beginning this month, the Ohio
Bureau of Motor Vehicles
(BMV) will be sending
driver license renewal
reminder emails to customers.
“We understand that
drivers have a lot of obligations and deadlines
in their everyday lives,”
said Ohio Governor
Mike DeWine in a news
release. “We hope these
new email reminders
serve as a convenience
for those who are
approaching their driver
license expiration date
and remove the stress of
remembering to renew at
the last minute.”
The email reminders
will include a link to create a personal document
checklist to help customers verify they have the
right documents needed
to obtain a federally
compliant driver license
which will be needed
beginning on Oct. 1,
2020, to board commercial ﬂights, or enter U.S.
federal buildings and military bases.
“The BMV is committed to providing innovative customer service,”
said Charles Norman,
Ohio BMV Registrar.
“This is another example
of our dedication to
enhancing the overall
customer experience by
using technology to provide new options to meet
their needs.”
A driver license that
is current or has been
expired less than six
months can be renewed
at any deputy registrar
license agency. If a driver
fails to renew his or her
license six months or
more beyond the expiration date, he or she must
obtain a temporary permit and successfully complete all required testing
before a new license can
be issued.

including how to opt-in

IN BRIEF

Hundreds
attend funeral
CINCINNATI (AP) —
Hundreds of people paid
their respects Monday
in Cincinnati to a former
county commissioner
who died after a battle
with cancer.
Ofﬁcials from both
major political parties
and homeless advocates
were among the many
people who attended the
public visitation and the
public funeral service
for Todd Portune at the
Duke Energy Convention
Center in downtown Cincinnati.
The 61-year-old Democrat died Jan. 25 at his

home in Green Township.
He served as a Hamilton
County commissioner
from 2000 until stepping
down in 2019 for health
reasons. He had previously served on Cincinnati’s
city council.
Speakers at the funeral
talked about Portune’s
strength, humility and
ability to connect with
people. While health
problems had often forced
him to use a wheelchair
and crutches, he still
attended meetings and
kept going despite
considerable pain, said
Denise Driehaus, a fellow
Democrat and the president of the Hamilton
County Board of Commissioners.

Several elk transported
from Arizona to WVa
died of parasite
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — Nearly one-third
of the elk herd transported to West Virginia two
years ago died from a parasite, a wildlife ofﬁcial
said.
White-tailed deer carry but apparently are unaffected by brainworms, which can be deadly to
other antlered animals. Randy Kelley, the West
Virginia Division of Natural Resources’ elk project
leader, told the Charleston Gazette-Mail that during grazing, the elk accidentally consumed snails
that had eaten brainworm eggs.
More snails and slugs existed than usual during
the wet spring of 2019, Kelley said.
There were 46 elk transported from Arizona in
March 2018 to Logan County. The elk underwent
a 120-day quarantine period mandated by the U.S.
Department of Agriculture which included an
additional disease test.
Kelley said the quarantine weakened the elk
physically.
“If we had been able to release those elk promptly, and without having to recapture each one of
them individually for re-testing, I think a lot more
of them would have survived,” Kelley said.

DES MOINES, Iowa
(AP) — Iowa Democrats
anxious for fundamental
political change headed
toward caucus centers
late Monday to decide the
opening contest in the
2020 presidential primary
season. It could bring new
clarity to a ﬁeld that still
features nearly a dozen
White House contenders
vying for the chance to
take on President Donald
Trump.
In the hours before
the evening caucuses,
candidates gave lastminute pep talks and
pitches, while hundreds
of volunteers pressed
on statewide . By day’s
end, tens of thousands of
Democrats were to have
gathered at community
centers, high school gyms
and more than 1,600
other caucus locations
in the premiere of more
than 50 contests that will
unfold over the next ﬁve
months. The caucuses
will render the ﬁrst verdict on who is best positioned to take on Trump,
whom Democratic voters
are desperate to beat this
fall.
The moment is thick
with promise for a
Democratic Party that
has seized major gains in
states since Trump won
the White House in 2016.
But instead of optimism,
a cloud of uncertainty
and deepening intraparty
resentment hung over
Monday’s election,

were expected to continue until Wednesday’s

The trial unfolded
over nearly two weeks
and reached a decisive
moment last Friday
when senators voted
against calling witnesses and documents.
Key Republicans said
they had heard enough.
It becomes the ﬁrst
impeachment trial in the
nation’s more than 200year history without any
witnesses.
Even new revelations
from John Bolton, the
former White House
national security adviser,
whose forthcoming book
discloses his ﬁrsthand
account of Trump ordering the investigations,
did not impress upon
senators the need for
more testimony.
Bolton said he would
appear if he received
a subpoena, but GOP
senators said the House
should have issued the
summons and the Senate
did not want to prolong
the proceedings.
Prosecutors relied on a
28,000-page report compiled over three months
of proceedings in the
Democratic-controlled
House, including public
and private testimony
from 17 witnesses,
among them current and
former ambassadors and
national security ofﬁcials

THEIR VIEW

Trains: A
blessing or an
annoyance?
When I drive to work, I am delayed from time
to time by a train traveling north or south through
the small city where I live.
Do I get impatient, wish I had
taken another route where no train
tracks interfere with my getting to
work? Absolutely not.
Christmas approaches and toy
trains and tracks are unwrapped to
be placed under decorated trees. Parents wonder whether their little ones

columnist
a train with a conductor shouting
“All aboard” as bells clang and lights
ﬂash.
My experience with real trains goes back to
times I recall in bits and pieces. My father believed
that he could create a better life for our family, and
safety for himself, by leaving the United States
Steel coal-mining operation in Lynch, Kentucky,
where a rock fall had sliced into his back and
another had landed on his boot.
In those early years, Mother bundled up my sister, my brother, and me, went to the L&amp;N Depot
in Cumberland (yes, there were still drinking fountains at the depot specifying who was allowed to
drink from which fountains. And I stealthily drank
from the “Colored only” fountain and wondered if
my skin would change to the color of my friends,
Sonny and Norman), and we headed out to join
my father, ﬁrst to Louisville, then to Cincinnati,
and then to Charlestown, Indiana.
Riding the train was exciting with the little,
paper, cone-shaped cups and ice-cold drinking
water, the tiny bathrooms, and the cart that rolled
through the train with attendants offering drinks
and snacks for sale.
Early on, trains thus became an important part
of my consciousness, as I learned there were cities beyond the small town of Cumberland, and
all kinds of people engaged in all sorts of occupations; more than a few ﬁlling station attendants
and several clerks in fewer than one dozen places
of business. There were coal miners in Cumberland and adjoining towns, but these men were
invisible except for those unlucky enough to work
in what my father called “dog holes,” where there
was no bath house and they returned from their
labors covered in coal dust from their faces to
their shoes.
And the family travels on trains taught me about
alternate housing — apartments, hotels, huge
houses with decorative trimmings.
The last time Mother took the three of us to
the depot in Cumberland — this time to travel
to Toledo where my father had found work at the
Mather Spring Company — was a few days before
my 14th birthday, and I had just ﬁnished my freshman year at Cumberland High School.
Time passed quickly in Toledo, and within a
ﬂash, I was 16, a senior at Woodward High School
and had been selected by the Toledo Council on
World Affairs to travel by train with all expenses
paid to New York City and Washington, D.C. And
my world just kept opening up.
Larger and larger, and more complex, more
exciting, more enchanting. As I earned college
degrees and was hired to play academic roles in
Ohio, Kentucky, Texas, California, and Missouri,
train trips continued to be a part of my life only
this time in Western Europe where I took all
opportunities to board a train, sit back, observe
the landscape, and travel from city to city.
So today as I’m stopped on my way to work by a
train on the tracks, I imagine the kids who painted
the grafﬁti on them and I ask myself, How wide
is their world? And I consider who loaded the
cars and how the old men who once rode in the
cabooses feel about the fact that technology has
taken jobs they once held and cabooses are only
on toy trains now.
Or I remember my childhood. I’m a little kid
again walking the rails with my dog Ginger. Yes,
he and I could have been a circus act with no fear
of falling as we balanced ourselves on those thin
rails. Or I’m climbing up the ladder on the sides of
the gondolas that are waiting to be ﬁlled with coal
trucked from the dog holes to the tipple that is on
my grandmother’s property.
Very occasionally, I know I’ll ﬁnd a gondola that
has supports in the shape of round bars instead of
the typical heavy wide rectangles that I normally
ﬁnd which support the sides of the gondolas. And
I know I can practice my gymnastic feats on the
round bars until dark when Mother calls me to
supper. I know also that those few special gondolas will be ﬁlled with coal the next work day and
an engine will come to carry them somewhere
along the L&amp;N route where the black diamonds
will be used to create electricity or power a factory.
Yes, I never mind waiting as that train moves
along the tracks through Piqua, Ohio, because in
those minutes I am transported to magic moments
of my past.

2020 Faith &amp; Family
Faith and Family is a project designed to reach out to
people in need and at the same time reach out to the
community with a message of hope. We want to form
a stronger alliance with the church community and do
more meaningful job of helping local churches spread
their message to people who are looking for answers and
inspiration. We need your help to do this.
We will publish an inspirational full color magazine that we have entitled Faith and Family. This publication,
with your help, will list all our churches and carry a message of hope. As your local newspaper we want
to use our resources to help get your message to those in need. The magazine will carry profiles of local
churches and testimonials from local readers who have experienced a change in life as the result of their
faith and beliefs. These stories can be a powerful influence in raising the consonances of the reader looking
for answers and in need of a church to help heal. This publication will also increase the strength and unity
among the local church community.

Meigs High School honored the school’s two most prolific scorers Saturday night between the junior varsity and varsity basketball games against Eastern. Amber
Vining, a 2001 graduate of Meigs, is the leading scorer in school history with 1,400 points, including a school-record 49 against Waterford. Meigs senior Weston Baer
surpassed Trevor Harrison (class of 1993) as the boys all-time leading scorer on January 14 at Fort Frye. Trevor scored 1,258 points in his career. After his 25-point
performance against Eastern, Weston now has 1,373 points, just 27 points shy of passing Vining as the school’s all-time leading scorer. Meigs athletic director Kevin
Musser, left, presented Vining and Baer each with a plaque, and Harrison, second from left, was on hand to present Baer with the game ball from his historic night.

WHITE SULPHUR
SPRINGS, W.Va. —
Another jewel in the
crown.
The Point Pleasant
wrestling team notched
another program ﬁrst on
Saturday after cruising
through the Class AA/A
ﬁeld Saturday at the
inaugural West Virginia
Team Duals Wrestling
State Championships
held at Colonial Hall on
the historic grounds of
The Greenbrier.
The ﬁrst-ever event
was sponsored by the
West Virginia Wrestling
Coaches Association
and was endorsed by the
WVSSAC, but it is not
yet ofﬁcially recognized
by the WVSSAC as an
ofﬁcial state championship.
Nonetheless, the
Region IV champion Big
Blacks — the reigning
Class AA champion and
current top-ranked program in West Virginia —
rolled through Region
II champion Bridgeport
(75-3) in the semiﬁnals
before claiming a 59-9
victory over Region I

champion Oak Glen in
the ﬁnals.
Region III champion
Herbert Hoover ended
up defeating Bridgeport
53-24 for third place.
Point Pleasant ﬁnished the day with a
combined 25-3 overall
record in the two headto-head matchups,
including 16 pinfall
wins, two major decisions and a technical

fall.
PPHS coach John
Bonecutter noted afterward that the event itself
— along with the location — was something
special to be part of,
especially given the ﬁnal
outcome.
“I’m very thankful
for our group of young
men, coaches, parents
and fans that got to be
a part of this outstand-

ing event,” Bonecutter
said. “Winning the
ﬁrst state duals title in
West Virginia history is
something very special
for our program and
the community. I don’t
think anyone can grasp
how special this really is
right now.”
A dozen different
Big Blacks came away
with perfect 2-0 marks
in their respective divi-

sions, including junior
Mitchell Freeman at 145
pounds. Mitchell earned
a pinfall and a major
decision while being
named the AA/A State
Duals Outstanding
Wrestler.
Justin Bartee (138),
Logan Southall (170),
Juan Marquez (195)
and Wyatt Stanley (220)
each came away with a
pair of pinfall wins this
weekend, while Parker
Henderson (106),
Christopher Smith
(126), Derek Raike
(132) and Jacob Muncy
(285) had a single pinfall apiece out of two
victories.
Wyatt Wilson went
unbeaten at 152 pounds,
Mackandle Freeman
(113) had a pinfall and
a technical fall at 113
pounds. Isaac Short also
recorded a pinfall and
landed a major decision
at 120 pounds.
Brayden Connolly
went 1-1 overall at 182
pounds and had a pinfall win. Zac Samson
suffered two losses at
160 pounds.

DAYTON, Tenn. — In
terms of how you can
open a new season, it’s
safe to say the start of the
2020 campaign for the
University of Rio Grande
baseball team left a lot to
be desired.
One big inning in
both games of their split
doubleheader on Friday
spelled doom for the
RedStorm, who dropped
a 12-3 decision to Talladega (Ala.) College in
their opener before suffering an 8-2 loss to No. 18
Bryan (Tenn.) College at
Senter Field.
In game one, Talladega
scored six times in the
top of the fourth inning to
break open a close game.
A three-run home run
by Jonathan McKnight
highlighted the uprising. Jorge Rodriguez and
Wilkin Louis also had
RBI singles in the inning
for the Tornadoes.
Louis ﬁnished 3-for-4
with a double and four
RBI, while Rodriguez was
2-for-3 with two RBI and
two runs scored.
Mason Miller also had
four hits, including a
double, for Talladega.
Rio Grande managed
just three hits, including
a two-run single in the
third inning by senior Eli
Daniels (Minford, OH)
which pulled the RedStorm within one after an
early 3-0 deﬁcit.
Gamliel Echevarria
started and got the win
for the Tornadoes, while
freshman Trey Carter
(Wheelersburg, OH)
started and took the loss
for Rio.

MERCERVILLE, Ohio — They ﬁnished what they
started.
The South Gallia boys basketball team built a
double-digit lead in the ﬁrst quarter and just kept adding to it Saturday night during a 61-37 victory over
visiting Point Pleasant in a non-conference matchup
in Gallia County.
The host Rebels (9-8) rode the hot hand of Brayden
Hammond throughout most of the evening, but particularly in the opening frame after the sophomore
poured in seven points en route to a 19-9 ﬁrst quarter
advantage.
The Big Blacks (5-9) were never closer than three
possessions the rest of the way as Hammond added
another nine points as part of a 17-10 surge that
resulted in a comfortable 36-19 cushion at the break.
Both teams traded 13 points apiece in the third
stanza for a 49-32, then Hammond — who led SGHS
in scoring in each of the four periods — tacked on six
more during a 12-5 ﬁnish to complete the 24-point
outcome.
South Gallia netted 25 total ﬁeld goals — including
four 3-pointers — and also made 7-of-12 free throw
attempts for 58 percent.
Hammond paced the hosts with a game-high 27
points, followed by Layne Ours with 13 points and
Tristan Saber with seven markers. Jaxxin Mabe also
contributed ﬁve points to the winning cause.
Jared Burdette and Kyle Northup were next with
four points each, with Andrew Small completing the
tally with a single point.
Point Pleasant sank 15 total ﬁeld goals — including
six trifectas — while also netting 4-of-8 charity tosses
for 50 percent.
Hunter Bush paced PPHS with 14 points, followed
by Eric Chapman with seven points and Kyelar Morrow with six markers.
Aidan Sang chipped in ﬁve points, while Nick
Smith and Zack Beckett added two points each. Trey

From ‘Andy Who?’ to Super Bowl champion Andy Reid
MIAMI GARDENS,
Fla. (AP) — When Andy
Reid walked into an interview with the Philadelphia Eagles armed with a
6-inch binder containing
notes on how to build a
winning team, management was sold.
But it took him 21
years and two teams to
win it all.
Big Red ﬁnally got his
Super Bowl title thanks
to Patrick Mahomes leading the resilient Kansas
City Chiefsin another
comeback in the playoffs,
a 31-20 victory over the
San Francisco 49ers on
Sunday night.
For two weeks leading
to the game, Mahomes
and his teammates talked
about how badly they
wanted to win for Reid.
They were elated after
they did it.
“He’s one of the best
coaches of all-time and
he already was before we

won this game but we
wanted to get that trophy
just because he deserved
it,” Mahomes said. “The
work he puts in day in
and day out, he’s there at
3 in the morning and he
leaves at 11. I don’t think
he sleeps. I’ve tried to
beat him in and I never
can. He’s someone that
works harder than anyone
I’ve ever known and he
deserved it, so I’m glad
we were able to go out
there and get that trophy
for him.”
Reid had more wins
than any coach in NFL
history without a championship. He’d lost his only
other Super Bowl appearance with the Eagles 15
years ago. Winning his
ﬁrst championship as a
head coach and Kansas
City’s ﬁrst in 50 years
likely solidiﬁes his Hall of
Fame credentials.
But the 61-year-old
Reid, known for wearing

ﬂoral shirts and poking
fun at his weight, didn’t
want to talk about his
coaching legacy.
“I don’t care about
that. I really don’t,” Reid
said. “This is a pure team
sport. I love that part of
it. That’s why I got in it.
I didn’t get in it for any
other reason other than
to win games and win
them with great people.
We bust our tails to do
that as coaches and players. That’s the part that I
think needs the respect.
You take care of that,
everything else happens.
That’s not really where
my mind goes. It’s probably the last thing on my
mind.”
Reid was more than
willing to discuss how he
planned to celebrate.
“I’m getting a double
cheeseburger with extra
cheese,” he joked.
Reid was an unknown
assistant coach in Green

Bay when Eagles owner
Jeffrey Lurie plucked him
from the Packers, convinced he was the right
man to turn around a
losing franchise. Reid had
worked under Mike Holmgren and meticulously
prepared for the moment
to become a head coach.
He put together that infamous binder ﬁlled with
everything from practice
schedules to an explanation on why a long snapper is such an important
position.
He studied Holmgren,
groomed Brett Favre
and was ready to call the
shots, even though he
had no experience as a
head coach at any level
and was never a coordinator.
A Philadelphia newspaper greeted Reid with a
headline that said: “Andy
Who?”
His name is etched in
NFL history now.

Reid turned the Eagles
into a winner in his
second season and won
more games than any
coach in franchise history, but was 1-4 in NFC
championship games.
He was ﬁred after 14
seasons and immediately
landed in Kansas City
and turned the Chiefs
into a playoff team right
away.
After losing another
conference championship game at home last
year, the Chiefs overcame
a 24-0 deﬁcit in the
divisional round, two
10-point deﬁcits in the
AFC title game and rallied after the 49ers took a
20-10 lead into the fourth
quarter.
Plagued by clock management issues, conservative playcalling and other
coaching blunders in the
past, Reid made all the
right calls this time and
Mahomes did his thing.

While the Chiefs and
their fans celebrated on
the ﬁeld at Hard Rock
Stadium, Reid’s former
players in Philadelphia
shared their happiness.
Hall of Fame safety
Brian Dawkins posted a
video on Twitter saying
he shed “tears of joy”
watching Reid win.
Donovan McNabb, who
gave the Chiefs a pep
talk Thursday, wrote on
Twitter: “So happy for
my guy. Well deserved for
the Chiefs. Now give him
the credit he deserves.
First Class coach, friend
&amp; dad.”
Reid said his “heart
went out to those guys”
because “we were so
close so many times”
but he was thrilled the
Eagles got their Super
Bowl title two years ago
under his protege, Doug
Pederson.
Now, Reid has his ring,
too.

After Super Bowl win, Chiefs already eyeing repeat next year
MIAMI (AP) — It took
the Chiefs ﬁve full decades to
bring the Lombardi Trophy
back to Kansas City.
They don’t intend to wait
that long again.
With confetti still swirling and their thrilling Super
Bowl triumph over the San
Francisco 49ers mere minutes
old, most of the Chiefs were
already talking about next season. They got a taste of reaching the AFC title game last
season and it drove them to
make it back this season, and
now that they’ve had a taste of
winning the championship, the
organization’s mindset is quite
simple: Why stop at just one?
“Next year we’re coming
back,” Chiefs defensive tackle
Chris Jones said. “We’re coming back for a repeat.”
There’s plenty of reasons
to believe they can do it. The
Chiefs will return just about
every key piece that delivered
the city its ﬁrst championship
in 50 years, including Super
Bowl MVP Patrick Mahomes,
breakout star Damien Williams

and the core of their rebuilt
defense, along with a coaching staff that’s gotten plenty of
interest for head coaching jobs
elsewhere.
So perhaps it was no surprise that most Las Vegas
sports books already have
installed the Chiefs as 6-to-1
favorites to win the Super
Bowl next season. The Baltimore Ravens and NFC champion Niners were close behind.
“I’m really excited about it.
You get one, you want to get
another,” said Andy Reid, who
ﬁnally got to bask in his ﬁrst
Super Bowl championship
after 21 years of coaching.
“But we’ve got to backpedal a
minute and enjoy this one, and
then we’ll get busy on the next
one.”
There certainly will be
plenty of time to celebrate.
The Chiefs wrapped up some
media obligations in Miami
on Monday, then were to head
back to Kansas City, where an
entire city was prepping for a
victory parade Wednesday.

expect Reid and general manager Brett Veach to get down
to business.
The Chiefs are likely to make
Mahomes the NFL’s highestpaid player this offseason, the
ﬁrst opportunity he will have
to sign a contract extension.
The Chiefs also must decide
what to do with Jones, one of
the league’s premier defensive
linemen, who is eligible for
free agency but has expressed
his desire to remain with the
team on a long-term deal.
“Why wouldn’t I want to be
here?” he asked. “We have a
chance to be a dynasty.”
The Chiefs also had a number of role players whose
deals are expiring, and bringing them back or unearthing
replacements will be crucial
during free agency. Among
them are defensive linemen
Terrell Suggs, Emmanuel
Ogbah and Xavier Williams,
wide receiver Demarcus

Chiefs: What will they do with
Sammy Watkins, who proved
his worth with a massive playoff run capped by ﬁve catches
for 98 yards in the Super
Bowl. He is due to count $21
million against the salary cap
next year, so the Chiefs are
likely to ask him to take a pay
cut or restructure his contract
or be forced to release him.
“If we keep going the way
we’re going, the sky is the
limit for this team,” said Watkins, who contradicted reports
he might even sit out next
season by insisting he’d return.
“Why not? We’ll come back
and win next year.”
But even with all those holes
to ﬁll, the Chiefs are still in
enviable shape. They have
arguably the league’s best
quarterback and one of its
most electrifying pass-catchers
in Tyreek Hill. They have one
of its premier tight ends in
Travis Kelce and a running
back in Damien Williams,
who gashed the 49ers for 104
yards rushing with TDs on the
ground and through the air.

On defense, they have elite
pass rusher Frank Clark and
safety Tyrann Mathieu — the
prize acquisitions last offseason who came up big in the
Super Bowl — signed to contracts that will keep them in
Kansas City at least two more
years.
“It will be important to
keep a couple of those other
guys and obviously continue
to get better, whether that’s
through the draft or free
agency,” Mathieu said. “The
most important thing is our
core is intact. We’ve got a hell
of a football team, so we are
looking forward to next season
already.”
There have been seven
franchises that have won backto-back Super Bowls, including the Pittsburgh Steelers,
who did the trick twice in the
1970s. That now becomes the
goal for a team that sees a window of dominance opening in
the AFC, where the Chiefs and
Ravens already have begun to
replace the New England Patriots as the gold standard.

Point Pleasant outlasts
Red Devils, 69-62

Chiefs defense comes through
in place. It was a great challenge
defensively going into this game.
I’m proud that we kind of shut them
down.”
Back in Kansas City, a fanbase that
hadn’t celebrated a title since the
Nixon administration was ﬁnally able
to exhale.
“I think those people are so happy,
and obviously, we’re so grateful we
were the group to kind of bring it
back to those people,” Mathieu said.
“Those people have been supporting
us all year long. It’s kind of cool to
end as a champion.”
The Chiefs’ defense has been the
bane of the organization for years —
especially in the postseason. There
was their memorable 38-31 divisional
loss to the Colts after the 2003 season
in which nobody punted in the game,
and the 45-44 collapse in Indianapolis
in the wild-card round after the 2013
season when the Chiefs blew a 31-10
halftime lead and the pressure and
ridicule mounted on coach Andy Reid
that he would never win the big one.
The most heartbreaking loss,
though, was the one that spurred the
Chiefs to make wholesale changes last
offseason.
They took the New England Patriots to overtime before losing the
coin toss, and their defense failed to
get Tom Brady and his bunch off the
ﬁeld. The Chiefs lost without giving
Mahomes and the NFL’s best offense
an opportunity with the ball.
The famously loyal Reid decided
to ﬁre then-coordinator Bob Sutton
and bring in Steve Spagnuolo, whose
switch to a 4-3 scheme required new
personnel across the board. The
Chiefs traded for Clark and signed
him to a big deal, added Mathieu in
free agency, then added a supporting
cast that gave Reid conﬁdence they
could hang with just about anyone.
The ﬁrst eight games were a
struggle. The ﬁnal eight games were a
lesson in dominance. And that rebuilt
defense that couldn’t get the Patriots
off the ﬁeld last postseason? It got the
49ers off the ﬁeld when it mattered
Sunday night.
The Chiefs held Garoppolo to 219
yards passing with a touchdown and
two interceptions. It held one of the
NFL’s best ground attacks to 141
yards rushing. And it ﬁnally quit biting on trick plays and end-arounds
that caused them ﬁts the entire ﬁrst
half.

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) —
The Kansas City Chiefs were staring
at a double-digit deﬁcit for the third
time in three postseason games.
This time with less than 15 minutes
left against the San Francisco 49ers in
the Super Bowl, when defensive end
Frank Clark sauntered onto the ﬁeld
in Hard Rock Stadium and began to
talk some trash.
He had that much conﬁdence in his
team. He had that much conﬁdence in
his defense.
“I went out there and told them,
‘You guys are going to go home like
everybody else,’” Clark recalled. “I
told George Kittle he was going home.
I told Joe Staley he was going home. I
told all of those guys, they were going
home.”
The Chiefs indeed sent them home
with a stunning 31-20 defeat.
Leading the way? A defense that
was rebuilt from the ground up after
its AFC championship game collapse
a year ago, and that had struggled all
night to pick up the ﬁzzling Kansas
City offense.
The defense forced the 49ers into
a pair of punts in the fourth quarter,
giving Patrick Mahomes a chance to
rally the Chiefs to their ﬁrst title in
50 years, and the young quarterback
came through with touchdown passes
to Travis Kelce and Damien Williams
to give his team the lead.
“I knew we weren’t in the ideal situation,” Mahomes said, “but I believed
in my defense to get stops and they
did.”
The 49ers still had a chance after
Williams reached over the pylon with
2:44 left, and a video review upheld
the touchdown call that gave Kansas
City the lead.
But after allowing a ﬁrst down,
a defense that carried a newfound
sense of purpose — “swagger,” safety
Tyrann Mathieu called it — made four
consecutive plays when they needed
it most.
Jimmy Garoppolo threw three
straight incompletions, then the 49ers
quarterback was sacked by Frank
Clark, the $105.5 million offseason
acquisition. That gave the Chiefs the
ball back, Williams got loose for a long
touchdown run and Kendall Fuller
picked off a desperation heave to put
an exclamation point on the comeback.
“There were great expectations
coming into this season,” Mathieu
said, “but we knew we had the pieces

Charlotte, Stewart had
changed into an oversized Oakley hoodie,
baggy jeans and sneakers. He was the only one
in attendance not adhering to cocktail dress
code.
Stewart hardly made
it through the door
before the lobby became
a receiving line. First up
was Joe Gibbs, inducted
himself alongside Stewart into the 11th Hall
of Fame class just hours
earlier. Along with
Bobby Labonte, the ﬁrst
winner of Gibbs’ ﬁve
Cup championships,

CHARLOTTE, N.C.
(AP) — For one of the
ﬁrst times in his life,
Tony Stewart showed up
overdressed.
Smoke wore a tuxedo
to his induction into the
NASCAR Hall of Fame,
and the blue honorary
jacket is just a regular
sport coat, not ﬂashy
enough to match the rest
of Stewart’s outﬁt.
The mismatch didn’t
last long. By early Saturday morning, when the
