The awards are named for Father Lawrence Martin Jenco, a Roman Catholic priest who committed his life to the service of others. Most notably, in the 1980s, Father Jenco served as the director of Catholic Relief Services in Lebanon, where he was kidnapped and spent 19 months in captivity. Even in captivity, Father Jenco continued to serve, providing a necessary listening ear for other detainees, including journalist Terry Anderson. Following Father Jenco’s death in 1996, Anderson wanted a way to honor Father Jenco’s legacy of compassion and giving, so he created the Jenco Foundation. When Sheets, one of five Jenco Awardees in 2019, started work with the Meigs County Community Fund, it had only $6,000 in assets. In just two years, she has collaborated with others serving on the fund committee to grow the fund to $300,000 in assets. And in that time, the fund has granted over $30,000, helping high school students attend college visits, supporting the development of a splash pad in Racine, increasing the electrical capacity of Pomeroy’s historic riverfront, promoting the arts, developing a school-based health care clinic in the Eastern Local School District, and much more. “I have such a passion for my community, and if I’m going to live in this community, then I want it to be a community that my children can be proud of, and that they want their children to live in too,” said Sheets. “I think the Meigs County Community Fund can play an important role in that, because it provides a way for people who care about Meigs County to support Meigs County, and there are so many people who care.” Since 2002, the Jenco Awards have recognized visionary leadership in the service of others throughout Appalachian Ohio. Nominated by fellow community members who witness their service and leadership in action, Jenco Awardees are selected through a formal committee process and review.

Take, for example, the series between the Gallia Academy Blue Devils and the Point Pleasant High School Big Blacks, a game which has often been referred to as the Battle of the Bridge or the Battle for the Bridge, depending on who you ask. Tonight (Friday) the two teams face off again for the first time since 2016 at Memorial Field in Gallipolis. For those keeping score, according to records kept by Ohio Valley Publishing, the Blue Devils lead the series 40-37-5. However, the Big Blacks have won the last three match-ups. This will be the 83rd meeting between the two schools with memories on both sides of the river that go beyond the final scores - whether those be memorable pep rallies or a reported fight in the late 1960’s that is said to have put the series on hiatus until the late 1970’s. Part of those memories, for many years at least, was the presentation of the Rotary trophy which is estimated to have had its beginnings in 1977. A joint project between the Point Pleasant and Gallipolis Rotary clubs, the Rotary president of the losing team would present the trophy to the Rotary president of the winning team, who then presented it to the winning coaches and players. However, for some reason, the trophy went missing or was accidentally misplaced, possibly when Gallia Academy moved into its new facilities, according to the best guess of some Rotarians. The tradition also became forgotten by some Rotary members and it fell by the wayside, though not everything forgotten is lost. This year, PVH commissioned a new Rotary trophy from local artist and businessman, Brett Little, of Gallia County. The idea to create a large trophy in the shape of a bridge was born out of brainstorming sessions between Gabe Roush, ATC, sports medicine manager at PVH and Tracy Call, director of community relations for PVH. Roush said the trophy needed to be something memorable and in short, “legit.” Call presented the idea to Little who came up with an idea to recreate the Silver Memorial Bridge as the trophy. The Battle of the Bridge will now literally be, a “battle FOR the bridge.” Certainly, the new Rotary trophy will not be something easily lost or misplaced, or even something that will fit in an average trophy case.

Not so, states the Rotarians from both sides of the river. “Just for the record, there is no rivalry between the two Rotary clubs,” Martin said. “We work together.” Littlepage agreed, explaining “the whole idea behind the trophy presentation (in the 1970’s) was to reestablish not only relationships between the two towns but the two high schools and the bad blood that existed in the 1960’s by the 1970’s was gone pretty much.” The trophy was unveiled at PVH’s Wellness Center on Wednesday, following the Point Pleasant Rotary Club’s monthly luncheon held at the hospital. On hand to accept the trophy from PVH CEO Jeff Noblin, were both Martin and Gallipolis Rotary President A.J. Stack. “Our Rotary clubs would like it (the game) to be more of a friendly competition that encourages goodwill and connection, I mean, it’s just a river…some people would argue that, but for us, especially for us, and with Rotary International, and in the local Rotary clubs, we are all about the same thing, which is bettering the community, bettering the lives of people in the community and bettering the world.” Stack, who is not originally from the area, said he was of course aware of the sports competition between the two schools it, the trophy is 38-inches high. On one end of the bridge is a “Welcome to Ohio” sign and on the other a sign stating “Welcome to West Virginia, Wild and Wonderful.” On the front of the trophy is the Rotary emblem, along with the “Battle of the Bridge” plaque with team logos for the Blue Devils and Big Blacks facing front. The plan is to place small placards on the trophy each year the games are played, denoting the date, who won and the score. The school that wins will get to keep the “traveling trophy” until the next game. Tim Martin, president of the Point Pleasant Rotary, said it’s possible the old trophy, described as a wooden mallet, was lost due to its small size but this new trophy will be difficult to overlook. “This will not be easy to lose,” Martin joked. “It’s (the trophy) going to create some good fun and competition…we’re (Rotarians) looking forward to this.” Rotarian Steven Littlepage, also of the Point Pleasant Club and a PPHS alumnus, recalled some of the history of the game. He said he believed there were no football games played between the two schools from 1969-1976, stating there was reportedly a “horrible fight” in November 1968 in relation to that year’s game and the two schools basically did not play one another in any sports, except for one. “I did play against Gallipolis in one sport…golf. Can you imagine? We had clubs,” Littlepage joked. Clendenin 92/66 Charleston 92/68 Shown are noon positions of weather systems and precipitation. Temperature bands are highs for the day.

In the first story, a shepherd, who had one hundred sheep, lost one of them. Every one of the sheep was important to the man, so he left the ninetynine and went to search for the one lost sheep. When he found it, he was so happy that he called all of his friends together and said, “Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.” Next, Jesus told a story about a woman who had ten silver coins, but when she counted them, were only nine coins. Each of the coins was God’s Kids there worth a day’s wages, so she searched the whole Korner house until she found the one lost coin. When Ann she did, she call all of her friends and neighbors Moody together and said, “Rejoice with me; I have found my lost coin.” Jesus told these two stories to demonstrate God’s love for us. We are God’s children, but sometimes we get lost too. When that happens, God doesn’t give up on us. He searches for us, and He doesn’t stop until we are found. In fact, God’s son, Jesus, came to save the lost when He died on the cross and rose again. And just as the two people in the stories rejoiced when they found what was lost, Jesus said, “There is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.” I am very glad that God loves us so much that He never gives up on you and me when we get lost and do not do as we should. He will always take us back and rejoice with the angels when we return to Him. Let’s say a prayer together. Father, help us to always remember we are Your children, and You love us very much. We are thankful that You will never give up on us if we ever get lost. Help us to do as we should today and always, so we are never far from You. In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen. Ann Moody is pastor of Wilkesville First Presbyterian Church and the Middleport First Presbyterian Church. The good of God It is good to feel good about the good of God. The above thought is what one of the Psalmists believed. Concerning God, the Psalmist said, “The king shall joy in thy strength…” He followed that with “…in thy salvation how greatly shall he rejoice.” Notice “shall joy,” and “shall rejoice.” “Shall joy” refers to the emotional uplift concerning the good authority of God, as in, that he (the Psalmist) would feel joyful about the strength of God. “Shall rejoice” refers to the emotion felt from experiencing the sustained blessing of God, particularly as it involves God’s salvation. In Ron essence, the Psalmist said that he felt good about Branch the good authority of God. Contributing Unfortunately, many people do not feel good columnist about God. Some feel anger about God. Some are ambivalent about God. Some feel hatred for God. Some feel that He is a useless consideration. But, those who feel like that need to feel otherwise about God, and, there are good reasons why. The Psalmist underscores several reasons. First, it has to do simply with the fact that God purposely directs good our way. The Psalmist felt good about God because God gave him his “heart’s desire, and did not hold back from him anything that he asked of God.” God had graciously given him “the blessings of goodness.” That is the key for feeling good about God. God’s blessings are based on “goodness.” Not all things are good for us (which many times we do not realize), but God wants us to have blessings that are qualified with goodness. If you understand and appreciate that basic ideal, then you cannot help but to feel good about all that with which God has supplied you. God makes us feel good with appropriate blessings. Second, the Psalmist felt good about the goodness of God as it involved eternal life. He said that he asked God to give him life, and God gave him “length of days for ever and ever.” The turn of his reference is that he said “for ever and ever,” which points to eternal life. How is it that we can secure eternal life? The process involves “asking” God for it with confession of Christ, confession of sin, and request for forgiveness. When we do, “God gives it.” Now, there is no reason whatsoever why anyone should not feel good about the goodness of God concerning salvation. After all, I have said for along time that we cannot help but feel good whenever we get closer to God, and getting saved is that beginning point. If you cannot feel good about God for any other reason, then at least feel good about God because He is willing to grant the gift of salvation upon request. He does not make us sweat it out. He responds immediately when we ask. Third, we can feel good about God because of the way He deals with consequences. During his discourse, the Psalmist talked about how God will deal with enemies in His good time: “in the time of thine anger,” he said. But, the Psalmist also went on to say that God would take care of the consequences, for he mentioned that “their fruit” and “their seed” God would destroy. Without doubt, comparing Scripture with Scripture, the devil and death are our most hideous enemies. The devil wants to take us to hell, and death wants to secure our future in the same. Sin brings these consequences to our lives. But, think about it—-Jesus Christ took care of any and every consequence associated with these enemies of ours through His death on the Cross and Resurrection from the dead. The Psalmist declared, “They intended evil against us. They planned a mischievous device, which they are not able to perform.” Jesus Christ counters it all! We have blessed days for here and now, and we are guaranteed a Heavenly future. The Psalmist cited several other reasons for why it is good that we feel good about the good of God. But, in the mean time, if these particulars do not stir you up, then your spoon has flat fallen out of your cup. Pastor Ron Branch lives in Mason County and is pastor of Hope Baptist Church, Middleport, Ohio.

But to realize that the temporary it’s hard sometimes. Like the psalmist, I realize the emptiness of living a pleasurable life without God. But it’s hard sometimes. Like the psalmist, I know my own weaknesses, doubts, insecurities, and failures. But I also know the source of my strength. Despite the wreckage of my sinful nature, God is able to hold me in His right hand, guide me in His Word, and keep me until the day of Christ. He is the rock-solid One upon which I stand. He is the faithfulness in my unfaithfulness. He is the strength in my weakness. And the portion He has to offer—Himself—is far greater than anything else. Maybe you, like me, need encouraged today. God is calling us to a life much too difficult for us to live on our own. We aren’t good enough. We aren’t strong enough. The glory and majesty of God far outweighs our greatest efforts. But through His work in us, our lives can—and must— bring glory to His name. To end his psalm, he writes, “But for me it is good to be near God; I have made the Lord GOD my refuge, that I may tell of all your works” (v. 28 ESV). Indeed, it’s good to be near God. To be right with Him. And that’s only possible through Christ. My flesh will fail. My heart will fail. But God is the strength of my heart. He is my portion forever. Amen.

Illini’s Betiku could be Big Ten’s next defensive line star By Eric Olson The Associated Press The pool of elite Big Ten defensive linemen looks to be getting deeper. The play up front traditionally is strong across the conference, and a sampling of 2020 NFL mock drafts shows as many as four Big Ten defensive linemen listed as first-round picks. Now comes Illinois defensive end Oluwole Betiku Jr., who has burst onto the scene the first two weeks of the season with a nation-leading five sacks and 6.5 tackles for loss. Betiku had been mostly dormant the last three years. He played limited snaps at Southern California in 2016 and ‘17 and missed last season because of a hip injury. Looking for a fresh start, he joined two of his USC teammates as graduate transfers at Illinois. He has two years of eligibility. “He’s playing great football,” Illini coach Lovie Smith said. “That’s how he’s been since he’s gotten on campus. He’s a good rusher, he plays the run hard, he does everything well. So it’s not surprising.” Smith added, “For him, this is a heck of a start, and he hadn’t played a lot of ball. It’s been a long time. So he can take another step. I really believe that.” Betiku came to the United States from Nigeria at age 16 and didn’t start playing football until he was 17. He blossomed quickly. He was a five-star prospect and the nation’s No. 1-rated weakside defensive end by 247Sports when he was a senior at Junipero Serra High in Gardena, California. As good as he was in high school, he ran into a logjam at USC and backed up future NFL players Porter Gustin in 2016 and Uchenna Nwosu in 2017. “My first two years I could have played but I didn’t get any meaningful snaps,” he said. “It doesn’t mean much when you go in for one snap when they are taking a knee. I never got into a groove.” Given the chance, Betiku said, he could have been doing then what he is doing now. “If you talk to my (USC) teammates who I was with every day, they’ll tell you I practiced and was doing my thing,” he said. “What’s done in the dark is going to be shown in the light one day, and it’s just showing in the light.” See BETIKU | 7 OVP SPORTS SCHEDULE Friday, Sept. 13 Football Point Pleasant at Gallia Academy, 7 p.m. Wahama at Southern, 7:30 Federal Hocking at South Gallia, 7:30 Tug Valley at Hannan, 7:30 Eastern at Trimble, 7:30 River Valley at Portsmouth, 7:30 Meigs at Warren, 7:30 Volleyball Calvary at Ohio Valley Christian, 6 p.m. Golf OVC girls championships at Ironton, 9 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 14 College Football Ohio at Marshall, 6:30 Volleyball Gallia Academy at Chillicothe, 6 p.m. Soccer Shady Spring at Point Pleasant girls, 1 p.m. Golf Gallia Academy girls at Jill Vaunch INV, 1 p.m. Cross Country Gallia Academy, Point Pleasant at Huntington INV, 10 a.m. Eastern, Meigs, South Gallia at Belpre INV, 10 a.m. River Valley at Southeastern, 9 a.m. Bryan Walters | OVP Sports River Valley defender Jared Reese (5) brings down Gallia Academy running back James Armstrong (3) during the second half of a Week 2 football contest played on Sept. 7 in Bidwell, Ohio.

Of course, everybody in that locker room’s hurting for him.” Petara Cordero, who gave birth to the couple’s daughter last month, was struck by a car as she stood on a highway roadside Wednesday. Smith told police a tire on his Lamborghini blew out and caused his car to spin and crash. The 26-year-old Cordero exited the vehicle when she was stuck by an oncoming car driven by a woman who admitted to police she had been drinking. No charges have been filed, and toxicology reports are pending. The police said Smith was not impaired or injured. As the Browns prepare to play the New York Jets on Monday Alex Hawley|OVP Sports Eastern sophomore Brayden Smith (4) turns up field after a reception, during the Eagles’ 20-14 victory over Caldwell on Friday in Tuppers Plains, Ohio. Previews From page 6 league a year ago. In their 20-14 Week 2 victory over Caldwell, the Eagles scored twice in the final quarter on passes from Brady Yonker to Mason Dishong. Trimble hasn’t allowed a single point through two weeks of play, with a 35-0 win over Nelsonville-York and a 46-0 triumph over Belpre. Meigs Marauders (1-1) at Warren Warriors (1-1) The Marauders and Warriors lock up for the first time since 2013, when Meigs defeated WHS by a 43-18 count in Vincent. That MHS decision ended a threegame winning streak in the series by the Warriors. The Maroon and Gold will be trying to win road games in consecutive weeks for the first time since 2009. Last week, the Marauders posted 405 total offensive yards in their 44-28 win at Rock Hill. In Week 2, Meigs scored on three runs, as well as three passes and one punt return. Seven different Marauders touched the ball, with Jake McElroy Betiku earning a game-best 138 all-purpose yards. The Warriors opened the year with a 33-20 win at home against Crooksville, but fell at Marietta by a 52-34 count last week. River Valley Raiders (0-2) at Portsmouth Trojans (2-0) Off to opposite starts to the season, Portsmouth has a 32-27 win over Valley, as well as a 48-28 win at Portsmouth West on its résumé, while the Raiders have dropped a 32-7 decision at Coal Grove and a 38-0 decision to Gallia Academy. The Trojans — a playoff squad a year ago —claimed a 35-7 victory at RVHS last season. Portsmouth will be trying to get out to its first 3-0 start since 2007, while River Valley will try to avoid starting 0-3 for a second straight year. RVHS hasn’t been 0-3 in back-to-back seasons since 2007-08. RVHS outgained Gallia Academy 228-to-219 on the ground last week, but was responsible for three of the game’s four turnovers. This is River Valley’s first trip to Scioto County since winning 48-21 in Week 10 of the 2014 season.

This goes beyond football. This was a 26-year-old young lady at the highlight of her life. Chris is a good dude. She was a good girl. We just want to support him in any way we can.” Kitchens said the tragedy has weighed heavily on him. “Chris is on my mind right now. His family’s on my mind. Her family’s on my mind,” Kitchens said. “The four-week-old baby is on my mind. It’s a difficult time, but we’re going to get through it, there’s never going to be an excuse. We’re going to get through it, I promise you that, but we’re going to get through it together. Chris is included in that, his family’s included in that.” Kitchens visited Smith at his home on Wednesday. The 27-yearold, who also played in Cincinnati and Jacksonville, is in Cleveland’s defensive rotation, but Kitchens doesn’t know when he’ll be back on the field. “I have not even given one thought about that and I don’t want Chris to even think about that,” Kitchens said. “I told him yesterday, this is beyond this. We can make it whatever we want to.” Kitchens has made team chemistry a priority, and he feels the friendships that have been built will allow the Browns to support Smith and move forward. “The way we try to approach things is literally, we want to become close,” he said. “I tell these guys all the time — this football season is about the journey. You want to be around guys that want to be on the journey with you. To do that, you have to care about each other. If you want to get the most out of your team, at some point you have to start caring about each other.” Jets’ Darnold out vs. Browns with mono FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — Sam Darnold is sick and sidelined — likely for several weeks. New York Jets coach Adam Gase announced Thursday the secondyear quarterback has mononucleosis and will miss at least the team’s game against the Cleveland Browns on Monday night. Trevor Siemian will start in Darnold’s place, and could be the starter moving forward until Darnold recovers. The Jets have a game at New England in Week 3 before they have a byeweek break, and then games at Philadelphia, at home against Dallas and New England before a road game at Jacksonville on Oct. 27 to cap a rough opening stretch. When a reporter pointed out that mono usually take several weeks from which to heal, Gase nodded. “Oh, I’m aware,” Gase said. “Good thing we’ve got the early bye week.” Darnold was sent home by the team Wednesday with what Gase said was “strep throat or something.” Team doctors later told Gase that antibiotics weren’t working as quickly as expected, leading to the diagnosis. “He’s going through some of these tests to kind of see where he’s at with all this,” Gase said. “I know he’s out this week. Then, past that, I’ll have more information as we go.” Gase said he, offensive coordinator Dowell Loggains and athletic trainer Dave Zuffelato went to Darnold’s home to deliver the news to the quarterback and he took it “not well,” according to the coach. “He wasn’t real happy about it,” Gase said. “All three of us went over there and he knew something was up when Dowell and myself showed up. I just wanted to make sure it was delivered right, and I figured I could be the bearer of bad news on this one.” The coach says Darnold’s biggest concern is weight loss. Gase adds Darnold has already lost about 5 pounds. “That was something that was alarming to him, that he lost weight already in the last couple of days,” Gase said. “He can’t be in the building right now, so he’s like, ‘I need to get meals over here, I need to make sure that I’m getting enough of what I need to keep my weight.’ I mean, he went right into, all right, FRIDAY EVENING BROADCAST 3 (WSAZ) 4 (WTAP) 6 (WSYX) 7 (WOUB) 8 (WCHS) 10 (WBNS) 11 (WVAH) 12 (WVPB) 13 (WOWK) CABLE 6 PM FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 13 6:30 NBC Nightly News (N) NBC Nightly News (N) ABC World News (N) Travelscope "Surprising Toronto" News at 6 ABC World (N) News (N) 10TV News CBS Evening (N) News (N) Daily Mail Eyewitness TV (N) News (N) BBC World Nightly News: Business America Report (N) 13 News at CBS Evening 6:00 p.m. (N) News (N) WSAZ News 3 (N) WTAP News (N) ABC 6 News at 6pm (N) Arthur 6 PM how do I maintain?” Gase said Luke Falk will be promoted from the practice squad to serve as Siemian’s backup. The Jets could also look to sign an experienced quarterback for depth. But, for now — and probably the next handful of games — it will be Siemian leading New York’s offense. Siemian was signed as a free agent in the offseason after spending last season with Minnesota. The 27-year-old quarterback played in Denver his first three NFL seasons, and is 13-11 as a starter. He has thrown 5,686 yards and 30 touchdowns with 24 interceptions. Gase said the Jets’ approach on offense won’t change much with Siemian taking over for Darnold. 6:30 7 PM 7:30 Wheel of Fortune (N) Wheel of Fortune (N) Columbus Jeopardy! (N) Jeopardy! (N) Ent.

Then there’s West Virginia, which flopped in its first road game with Neal Brown on the sideline. The Mountaineers barely gained positive yardage on the ground, gave up huge plays on defense and never put up much of a fight in a 38-7 throttling by Missouri. The Mountaineers, who were fortunate to hold off James Madison in their opener, now return home to face a Wolfpack team that has outscored East Carolina and Western Carolina by a combined 75-6. “I think this is our first real test — the first real adversity — this football team has had and how do we handle it? How do we respond?” Brown asked. “I think this week will be a good indication of where we’re at as far as being able to respond to things that don’t necessarily go our way. “Growth occurs in failure and we failed on Saturday,” he said, “so it’s time to get better.” CANTON, Ohio (AP) — First-time eligible candidates Troy Polamalu and Patrick Willis are among 122 modern-era nominees for the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s class of 2020. The newly eligible players have a heavy defensive emphasis. Joining the Steelers’ hard-hitting safety and 49ers bonecrunching linebacker for consideration are linemen Justin Smith and John Abraham, and linebacker Lance Briggs. The other two in their initial year of eligibility are receiver Reggie Wayne and running back Maurice JonesDrew. Finalists from 2019 who did not get enough support to be among the five modern-era players selected are receiver Isaac Bruce; running back Edgerrin James; offensive linemen Alan Faneca, Tony Boselli and Steve Hutchinson; defensive lineman Richard Seymour; and safeties John Lynch and Steve Atwater. The nominees include 63 offensive players, 43 defensive players and 16 special teamers. MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) — Kansas State rolled past Nicholls to begin Chris Klieman’s tenure with the Wildcats in style, then trounced Bowling Green last weekend to keep the momentum going. Time for the first big test of the season. The Wildcats head to Mississippi State for a Big 12-SEC showdown on Saturday. “Wouldn’t it be fun if we didn’t face any adversity the whole year? Yeah, that would be great,” Klieman said with a grin. “We know there’s going to be adversity and probably going to be adversity this week. There’s so many guys that have played in big games that I’m counting those guys to rise up, and more importantly challenging those guys who have not played at this level yet. “It’s no different than us going at each other on Wednesday in August, when tempers are flaring and we are going onesversus-ones,” Klieman continued. “It’ll be a different atmosphere for sure, but that’s the competitive spirit and excitement you want.” Want it or not, Klieman and his bunch are about to get it. They’re not alone, either. All four new coaches in the Big 12 have a chance to make a statement this weekend, beginning with Kansas, which tries to bounce back from a stunning home loss to Coastal Carolina with a trip to Boston College on Friday night. West Virginia likewise faces an ACC foe in North Carolina State on Saturday, while Texas Tech gets a Big 12-Pac 12 matchup at Arizona. “Certainly, Saturday night will be our biggest challenge,” said Red Raiders coach Matt Wells, whose team has romped past Montana State and UTEP to open the season. “I look forward to watching our guys handle some adversity, and how that plays out after that, we’ll all see together.” Wells and the rest of the league will see.

It’s a big weekend for the Big 12 as a whole. Iowa State is gearing up for a visit from No. 19 Iowa, its biggest rival, while TCU heads to Purdue for a Big 12-Big Ten game and fifth-ranked Oklahoma heads to UCLA for another game against the Pac-12, albeit against a rebuilding program. But the brightest spotlight might well be on the Big 12’s new coaches. Klieman and Wells are off to unbeaten starts, and their teams have hardly been challenged by a combined four lower-tier opponents. But that also means the Wildcats and Red Raiders face the biggest step up in competition, and for Kansas State a chance to avenge a loss to the Bulldogs last year. “The first two weeks, I think the reason we’ve had success is we haven’t looked ahead,” Klieman said. “We’ve stayed on task over the course of each day in our preparation. That’s what we’re trying to build here. We talk about stacking great days, and that’s what we have to do to be successful.” It’s a similar message that Wells is preaching in his first road game with Texas Tech, which has dominated Arizona in the past but hasn’t faced the Wildcats since 1989. “I think the biggest thing for our players and young kids in general is try to keep it as the same and as routine as you can, even though you’re in a different environment,” Wells said. “It’s a different stadium and the colors are different and it’s not your own locker room and you understand that, but you try to do things to get them comfortable with it as soon as you can.” The Jayhawks will be hitting the road for the first time under Les Miles, too — not that playing at Memorial Stadium did them any good.

(AP) — Tony Gibson’s West Virginia homecoming comes with a twist. The North Carolina State defensive co-coordinator who spent 13 seasons on the Mountaineers’ staff now is trying to beat many of the same players who lobbied for him to be their new head coach. Their reunion comes Saturday when the Wolfpack (2-0) visit West Virginia (1-1). “Unfortunately, (getting the West Virginia job) didn’t happen, but there are a lot of kids there that I care about, that I recruited, that I coached, and so that’s the emotional side of that,” Gibson said. “But the football and competitive side, I want to win no matter who we’re playing, where we’re playing, no matter what time we’re playing.” Gibson insisted he “can’t get caught up in the emotion of going home” and is instead treating it like “just another game at this point,” and his ex-players are taking a similar approach. “I just appreciate him giving me that opportunity to come play D-I football,” West Virginia linebacker Zach Sandwisch said. “Obviously I still like him as a man, as a coach, everything like that. He’s a good guy. But I’m here. He’s there. He’s our opponent this week and so that’s how we’re attacking it.” But there’s no question this road trip carries special significance for Gibson. The native of Van (pop. 211) who played at Glenville State in the 1990s served two stints on West Virginia’s staff, leaving for Michigan with Rich Rodriguez in 2007 before returning in 2013 and then spending five years later coordinating the defense — not exactly an easy job in the high-scoring Big 12. When Dana Holgorsen left for Houston after last season, several players took to social media to lobby athletic director Shane Lyons to make Gibson his replacement. Gibson interviewed for the job but Troy’s Neal Brown was hired. When he was not retained, he landed at N.C. State and added another subplot to this pre-arranged nonconference matchup.

Blue Angels fight past Fairland By Alex Hawley ahawley@aimmediamidwest.com PROCTORVILLE, Ohio — Most definitely feeling 22. The Gallia Academy volleyball team claimed its 22nd consecutive sweep in Ohio Valley Conference play on Tuesday in Lawrence County, as the Blue Angels topped host Fairland by counts of 25-21, 25-15 and 25-19. Gallia Academy (8-1, 6-0 OVC) — winner of 49 OVC matches in a row — combined 14 kills and one ace to win the opening set by a 25-21 clip. The guests won 64 percent of their serves — a match-best — in the second game, once again combining 14 kills and an ace on the way to a 25-15 win. The Blue Angels had their best side-out percentage of the night, at 70.0, in the finale, sealing the 3-0 victory with a 25-19 triumph. For the match, GAHS finished with a 89.0 serve percentage and a 59.6 side-out percentage, while Fairland had a 87.7 serve percentage and a 43.8 side-out percentage. Leading the GAHS service, MaKenna Caldwell had two aces. Alex Barnes, Bailey Barnette and Maddy Petro had an ace apiece, with Petro as the long Blue Angel server with a perfect percentage. Barnes paced the guests at the net with 14 kills and one block. Maddie Wright was next with a dozen kills and a block, followed by Petro had five kills and a block. Barnette ended with five kills for GAHS, Peri Martin claimed three kills, two blocks and a team-best 32 assists, while Abby Hammons contributed one kill to the winning cause. Barnes also led Gallia Academy’s defensive effort with 21 of the team’s 60 digs. GAHS will go for the season sweep of FHS on Oct. 8 in Centenary. After hosting Rock Hill on Thursday, Gallia Academy will have a non-conference trip to Chillicothe on Saturday. Alex Hawley can be reached at 740-446-2342, ext. 2100. Brewers’ Yelich won’t need surgery, likely done for season MIAMI (AP) — Milwaukee Brewers star Christian Yelich won’t need surgery on his right kneecap, but the team says it’s unlikely he’ll return this season. Brewers general manager David Stearns says Yelich’s recovery is expected to take eight to 10 weeks. Yelich was back in Milwaukee for tests on Wednesday, a day after the reigning NL MVP fouled a ball off his leg during a game in Miami. “At this point we have good news on Christian based on the MRIs and additional imagining he took yesterday,” Stearns said Thursday before the Brewers’ game at Miami. “It looks like Christian will be able to avoid surgery.
