Trump to decide if he wants lawyers at hearings
By Andrew Taylor
Associated Press

WASHINGTON —
The chairman of the
House Judiciary Committee asked President
Donald Trump on Friday to say whether he’ll
send his attorneys to
participate in impeachment proceedings
before the panel.
Rep. Jerrold Nadler
also is asking Republicans on his committee
which witnesses they
plan to ask permission
to subpoena.
The letters from the
New York Democrat
came as the House
impeachment probe
enters a new phase with
a hearing next week
on whether Trump’s
actions might constitute
impeachable offenses.
Two weeks of Intelligence Committee
hearings produced a
mountain of testimony
but didn’t seem to move
the needle on Capitol
Hill, where not a single
House Republican supported establishing the
chamber’s impeachment
process.

Alex Brandon | AP

President Donald Trump gives a thumbs up as he steps off Air
Force One with Sen. John Barrasso, R-Wyo., at the Palm Beach
International Airport on Friday in West Palm Beach, Fla. Trump is
returning from a trip to visit the troops in Afghanistan.

Nadler instructed
Trump and top panel
Republican Doug Collins of Georgia to
respond by the end
of next week. The
Judiciary Committee
meets Wednesday in an
informational hearing to
examine the “constitutional grounds for presidential impeachment”
and could move some
time after that to hearings where witnesses
testify about Trump’s
actions with Ukraine.
Trump has labeled the
proceeding by House
Democrats a sham, in
part because he could

not have his lawyers
cross-examine intelligence committee witnesses during hearings
and depositions.
The intelligence
panel is slated to issue
a report of its ﬁndings
next week that are
intended to form the
basis of hearings at the
Judiciary Committee,
which would be responsible for drafting any
articles of impeachment
for a vote by the full
House.
The panel can also
seek further testimony.
Nadler can deny witnesses sought by

Republicans, who are
likely to want subpoenas compelling testimony from Hunter Biden
and the anonymous
intelligence community
whistleblower whose
complaint sparked the
impeachment proceedings.
At issue in the
impeachment probe is
whether Trump abused
his ofﬁce by pressing
Ukrainian President
Volodymyr Zelenskiy to
investigate the Bidens
and baseless allegations
that Ukraine interfered
with the 2016 election.
Hunter Biden served
on the board of a
Ukrainian energy company when his father,
then-Vice President
Joe Biden, had some
responsibility for the
Obama administration’s
Ukraine policy.
Earlier scrutiny by
Ukrainians uncovered
no wrongdoing by the
Bidens, but Trump, in
July, asked Zelenskiy
for an investigation as
a “favor,” while holding up military aid to
that country for several
months.

they are on the fence or

THEIR VIEW

Ohio State vs.
Michigan; literal
state of war
“You now perceive that a collision between Ohio
and Michigan is inevitable, and will therefore be
prepared to meet the crisis.”
— Stevens T. Mason, acting Gov. of Michigan
Letter to Brig. Gen. Joseph W. Brown, March 9,
1835
“General Brown assured them that before the
State of Ohio should extend her jurisdiction over
this part of [Michigan’s] constitutional limits, she
would have to march over the dead bodies of that
portion of her citizens who had
heretofore been under the jurisdiction of Michigan.”
— Andrew Palmer, commissioner
Letter to Ohio Gov. Robert

militias, an act of Congress or a
decision of the Supreme Court.
Likewise, The Game has never moved the boundaries of a state, or decided who would control
Toledo. The Ohio-Michigan war, also called the
Toledo War, did just that- and planted the seed
that grew into the fervor of the present day Ohio
State-Michigan rivalry.
The year was 1835 and Ohio, a state for 32
years, still had no settled northern border. The
confusion arose because of a series of faulty maps
showing the southernmost point of Lake Michigan
to be further north than it really was. Since the
Northwest Ordinance set Ohio’s northern border
to be a point extending east from the southern
tip of Lake Michigan, the erroneous maps led to
confusion about who controlled certain territory.
Ohio claimed control over the entire western end
of Lake Erie.
It had never been a problem until Michigan
prepared to petition for statehood. Both states
claimed control of the “Toledo strip” which
included the strategically located Maumee Bay.
The disputed land was a mere 468 square miles,
but when Michigan attempted to claim the land,
the Ohio delegation in Congress blocked Michigan
from joining the Union. The ‘boy Governor’ of the
Michigan territory, 24 year-old Stevens T. Mason,
called for a constitutional convention for statehood anyway. In response, Ohio created a county
inside the disputed territory, naming it after then
Governor Robert Lucas.
Mason responded, signing the ‘Pains and Penalties Act’ making it a crime for anyone to carry out
governmental functions on behalf of Ohio in the
disputed territory. He also appointed Brigadier
General Joseph Brown to head the Michigan militia and authorized him to forcibly remove Ohioans
in the area. Governor Lucas, not to be outdone,
formed an Ohio militia to counter the Michiganders.
Although close to 2,000 armed men were sent to
the area, only minor skirmishes occurred. In one
incident, Michigan militiamen ﬁred upon a group
of Ohio surveyors and took several into custody.
In another incident a Michigan Sheriff attempted
to arrest an Ohioan, Major Benjamin Stickney, but
Stickney and his three sons fought back and
Michigan deputy Joseph Wood was stabbed with
a pen-knife. Wood recovered, and was the only person injured in the war.
President Andrew Jackson, wanted nothing of
armed conﬂict between states, but was also sensitive to the fact that the Ohio delegation had quickly become a quiet force in Congress, and would
be helpful if the Democratic Party was to hold off
the Whigs in the next election. He therefore sided
with Ohio and refused to allow Michigan entry to
the Union until the dispute was settled.
A compromise was proposed in which Ohio
would get the disputed strip and Michigan would
get the western portion of the Upper Peninsula,
previously a part of the Wisconsin Territory. The
plan was accepted and it was generally concluded
that Ohio had won since the UP was considered
a barren wasteland. Large amounts of copper and
iron were later discovered there making it quite a
consolation prize for Michigan.
The political maneuver didn’t do President
Jackson any good, as Ohio, even then considered a
swing state, voted for the Whigs in the 1836 Presidential election. The compromise ended armed
conﬂict and prevent open warfare, but it was
not until 1973 that the ﬁnal details of the border
between the states were ﬁnally set by a decision of
the United States Supreme Court. That case, like
the war and The Game, is known as Michigan v.
Ohio.

THEIR VIEW

In search of an underdog in these times
I don’t know about

sports underdog right

The world is so full
of anger and animosity.
I’m sure you can look
elsewhere in the newspaper and ﬁnd plenty of
examples of that. Heck,
I even had someone call

representative was not a
good person.
In our spare time at

to our children. They
generally believe any
movie older than ﬁve
years is old, while I generally consider anything
since I got married to be
new. It’s interesting how
those deﬁnitions change
as you age.

TODAY IN HISTORY
The Associated Press

Today is Sunday, Dec.
1, the 335th day of 2019.
There are 30 days left in
the year.
Today’s Highlight in History:
On Dec. 1, 1824, the
presidential election was
turned over to the U.S.
House of Representatives
when a deadlock developed between John Quincy Adams, Andrew Jackson, William H. Crawford
and Henry Clay. (Adams
ended up the winner.)
On this date:
In 1862, President
Abraham Lincoln sent his
Second Annual Message
to Congress, in which he
called for the abolition of
slavery, and went on to
say, “Fellow-citizens, we
can not escape history.
We of this Congress and
this Administration will
be remembered in spite of
ourselves.”
In 1941, Japan’s Emperor Hirohito approved
waging war against the
United States, Britain and
the Netherlands after his
government rejected U.S.
demands contained in the
Hull Note.

In 1942, during World
War II, nationwide
gasoline rationing went
into effect in the United
States; the goal was not
so much to save on gas,
but to conserve rubber
(as in tires) that was desperately needed for the
war effort.
In 1952, the New York
Daily News ran a frontpage story on Christine
Jorgensen’s sex-reassignment surgery with the
headline, “Ex-GI Becomes
Blonde Beauty”.
In 1955, Rosa Parks,
a black seamstress, was
arrested after refusing
to give up her seat to a
white man on a Montgomery, Alabama, city
bus; the incident sparked
a year-long boycott of the
buses by blacks.
In 1965, an airlift of
refugees from Cuba to
the United States began
in which thousands of
Cubans were allowed to
leave their homeland.
In 1969, the U.S. government held its ﬁrst
draft lottery since World
War II.
In 1974, TWA Flight
514, a Washington-bound
Boeing 727, crashed

in Virginia after being
diverted from National
Airport to Dulles International Airport; all 92
people on board were
killed. Northwest Orient Airlines Flight 6231,
a Boeing 727, crashed
near Stony Point, New
York, with the loss of its
three crew members (the
plane had been chartered
to pick up the Baltimore
Colts football team in
Buffalo, New York).
In 1990, British and
French workers digging
the Channel Tunnel
between their countries
ﬁnally met after knocking
out a passage in a service
tunnel.
In 1991, Ukrainians
voted overwhelmingly for
independence from the
Soviet Union.
In 1997, a 14-year-old
boy opened ﬁre on a
prayer circle at Heath
High School in West
Paducah, Kentucky, killing three fellow students
and wounding ﬁve; the
shooter is serving a life
sentence.
In 2005, a roadside
bomb killed 10 U.S.
Marines near Fallujah,
Iraq.

Thought for Today:
“I got a simple rule
about everybody. If
you don’t treat me
right, shame on you.”
— Louis Armstrong,
American jazz musician
(1900-1971).

Ten years ago: President Barack Obama
ordered 30,000 more U.S.
troops into the war in
Afghanistan but promised
during a speech to cadets
at the U.S. Military
Academy at West Point
to begin withdrawals
in 18 months. General
Motors Co. CEO Frederick “Fritz” Henderson
stepped down after the
board determined that
the company hadn’t been
changing quickly enough.
Five years ago: President Barack Obama, after
meeting with mayors,
civil rights leaders and
law enforcement ofﬁcials
at the White House,
asked federal agencies for
concrete recommendations to ensure the U.S.
wasn’t building a “militarized culture” within
police departments.

Ohio man graduates from felony
veterans treatment court
By Kevin Grasha
The Cincinnati Enquirer

CINCINNATI — For
ﬁve decades after his
honorable discharge
from the Marines in
1970, Gano Gibson
lived with undiagnosed
post-traumatic stress
disorder.
Gibson’s one-year tour
in Vietnam involved
intense combat, but he
rarely talked about the
war. He didn’t talk about
what bothered him. He
says he didn’t know
what PTSD was. He selfmedicated with alcohol.
Gibson was ﬁnally
diagnosed last year
after an incident that
the judge overseeing
his case said was “completely out of character:”
He walked into a Cincinnati police station with
a .32-caliber handgun in
his pants pocket, “agitated,” documents say, and
declared that “people
were trying to kill him.”
The gun was found
during a pat-down.
Gibson, who had
no previous criminal
record, was charged
with carrying a concealed weapon. He faced
up to 1½ years in prison.
At a Nov. 13 ceremony, Gibson was
announced as one of
four new graduates
of Hamilton County’s
felony veterans treatment court. A total of
72 veterans have now
completed the court
initiative since it began
in 2011.
The program, which
typically takes two years
to complete, offers comprehensive treatment
and services in lieu of
jail time for veterans
dealing with substance
abuse and/or mental

Hamilton County Common Pleas Judge Ethna M. Cooper,
who presides over the county’s veterans treatment court,
presents Gano Gibson with a certificate of completion after
graduating from the veterans court program Wednesday at the
Hamilton County Courthouse in Cincinnati. The program, which
typically takes two years to complete, offers comprehensive
treatment and services in lieu of jail time for veterans dealing
with substance abuse and/or mental health issues, including
post-traumatic stress disorder. Veterans facing low-level, and
typically nonviolent, felony charges are eligible.

health issues, including
post-traumatic stress
disorder. Veterans facing
low-level, and typically
nonviolent, felony charges are eligible.
Once the program is
successfully completed,
the charges are dismissed, and the case is
sealed.
The judge who oversees the program, Common Pleas Judge Ethna
Cooper, says it was
the ﬁrst veterans court
program in the country
for people charged with
felony crimes.
Cooper, whose father
was a World War II
combat veteran, said the
program’s team works
to ensure participants
have access to treatment
and that they obtain
housing, education,
vocational training and
employment.
“This court is a new
beginning. It’s a second
chance,” she said during
the November graduation ceremony. “It a recognition of their service
to their country.”

I Got To Make It On My Own

we had to work even as God said by the sweat of
our brow.

Don’t you think we ought to give them work

you think that we should give them jobs so they
can put back into the public welfare and SSI from
which they are draining from those who are
really in need of it people should not be denied
jobs because of their color or their habits they
should be afforded the opportunity to work and
put back into society monies which they are

An aerial photo shows the barn that caught fire at African Safari Wildlife Park in Port Clinton. At least
10 animals were killed in the fire Thursday.

10 animals killed in barn
fire at Ohio wildlife park
PORT CLINTON,
Ohio (AP) — At least
10 animals have died in
a barn ﬁre that erupted
at an Ohio wildlife park,
ofﬁcials said.
The blaze began Thursday evening at the African Safari Wildlife Park
in Port Clinton. Three
bongos, three giraffes,
three red river hogs and a
springbok housed in the
barn were thought to be
dead, ﬁre ofﬁcials said.
Springboks and bongos
are types of antelope.
Ofﬁcials captured a
loose zebra and a giraffe
that escaped, The Toledo
Blade reported.
The cause of the ﬁre is
under investigation. No
humans were injured.

The only person on the
property at the time of
the ﬁre was a person who
lived on the grounds,
serving as a manager and
gamekeeper, Danbury
Township police ofﬁcer
Carolyn Demore said.
Park co-owner Holly
Hunt told news outlets
that the manager noticed
his power ﬂickering and
saw the ﬁre when he
walked outside.
African Safari Wildlife
Park ofﬁcials posted on
Facebook that they were
“devastated by the loss of
animals.”
“We are grateful that
our staff is safe and no
one was injured, but the
loss of the wildlife that
we care for every day

is tragic for our team
members who love these
animals,” the post read.
“We are still assessing
the loss of wildlife that
was housed in the barn
for over-night care and
security.”
The park was closed
to visitors Thursday for
Thanksgiving and was
supposed to reopen Friday, before closing for the
season Sunday. The park
will now be shut Friday.
The park is a drive-thru
wildlife park, in which
visitors can watch and
feed animals on the 100acre (405,000-squaremeter) property. According to its Facebook page,
it celebrated its 50th
season in 2018.

Gibson enlisted in
the Marine Corps less
than a year after he
graduated from Cincinnati’s Central High
School. He followed his
older brother into the
Marines.
Between 1967 and
1968, Gibson served a
tour in North Vietnam
— much of the time
outnumbered against
a well-equipped North
Vietnamese Army. He
said he was involved in
seven major operations
and earned two Purple
Hearts.
“We were always getting shot at,” Gibson
said in an interview.
“Sometimes we’d strap
up for three, four, ﬁve
days in a row.”
Gibson, who served
with the 3rd battalion,
9th Marines, still thinks
about the soldier who
took his place at a listening post one night
and was killed in an
ambush. A lieutenant
had given Gibson the
night off because he
was due for R&amp;R.

Consider what’s happening in our society 3/4 of
the shootings in America is by people who have
some form of mental illness- did we mainstream

these people into society from the entities or
institution they were located,, also, consider our
children
wouldn’t that be better admitted to children’s
home where they can be cared for and feel safe
than to be steadily shuffled from home to home
not staying in on one place long enough to get a
steady structure.
Marty Roderick and I we’re discussing some of
these issues and as teachers and parents we came
to the conclusion that until the parents, teachers
, and the government realized the above-mentioned and take action to change the kind of help
we are affording our young people we cannot
feel safe nor move forward to a happier society.
A sure way to move forward is observing and
reading what the holy Scriptures teaches concerning raising our children, helping our fellow
man, assisting the widows and the fatherless
children and how to honor and praise our God
the Creator and compare what we are doing to
what we read there and make a choice as to what
we will do with our lives, one thing we shouldn’t
do is burn down these buildings which gives us
choices and helps us to make good decisions for
ourselves as to how we want to live our lives as
one nation under God.
May God the Father and his son , Jesus,
bless America

The historic Our House
Museum, at 432 First

provide refreshments
throughout the evening,
for all who go on the tour.
In the FAC Galleries, visitors can take in a painting

Two homes on the
tour are located on
First Avenue, overlooking the majestic Ohio
River, one built in 1898
and the other in 1997.
The McQuirt-Brabham
home, a truly outstanding
older home at 126 First
Avenue, was purchased in
2015 and has been totally
restored, with the owners moving in this year.
Constructed in 1898, and
originally occupied by Dr.
and Mrs. Charles Parker,
this house had subsequent owners, including
the Smeltzers and the
Knights, who renovated
the property during the
1950’s.
The newer contemporary brick house at 613
First Avenue, is now
owned by Jacqueline Kessinger, purchased in July
2015. It was built in 1997
for Dr. and Mrs. Tom
Price. Located on one of
the original Garden Lots,
#22, overlooking the Ohio
River, it is a modern six
room, spacious 4,000
square foot two-story
home, with three bedrooms, two full and one
half bath.

of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas
Lindegarde, located at

of updates and additions,
including a remodeling in

and an opportunity to visit its current painting and glass exhibit.

GETTING ON
THE TOUR
Tickets for the French
Art Colony’s Holiday
Home Tour are $20
each. They may be
purchased in advance, or
the evening of the Tour

French Art Colony, 530
First Avenue, Gallipolis.

including a family room,
four bedrooms and three
full baths. There is a
detached garage and in
the spacious back yard,
an inground swimming
pool. This home was on
the tour last year and the
owners enjoyed the event
so much, they asked to
participate again this
year. Different themed
Christmas trees will be
throughout the house.
TJ and Kelli Pasquale’s
home, at 321 Fourth
Avenue, was built in
1904 by John E. Danner,
well known contractor
at that time. It is a two
story, eight room frame
dwelling and was totally
remodeled in 2016,
including the kitchen
and bathrooms, after
being owned for many
years by the late John
and Ann Cornett. Special
features in the house are
the original front door,
staircase and woodwork
in the front portion of the
house.
Vertical Church Gallipolis is located at the
corner of Second Avenue
and Court Street, facing
the City Park. The earliest buildings occupying
this site can be traced
back to the 1800s. The
building now housing
the church was most
recently occupied by U.
S. Bank, and previously,

Star Bank. In 2014, Pastor Jon Mollohan and
now the Worship Pastor,
Dustin Dixon, were led
to establish a church in
Gallipolis. In 2016, with
great support from family, friends and various
churches, Pastor Jon and
his wife Lindsay, moved
to Chicago to go through
a four-month church plant
training session. They
came back to Gallipolis
in August 2017 to start
Vertical Church Gallipolis. Following several
core meetings, the church
launched its ﬁrst Sunday
morning service on October 7, 2018. Today, Vertical Church Gallipolis is a
vibrant community, built
on discipleship.
The popular Poppy’s
Coffee, Tea and Remedies
Shop is truly unique.
Located at 46 Court
Street, it occupies a building constructed in 1884
and occupied by many
and varied businesses,
before Greg and Lori
Hall established their
shop in 2018. The owners said they were led
to leave their previous
jobs to share God’s love
and establish a place for
people to come together
to talk about their Savior
and relax. For the needy
and homeless, they provide a Food Pantry and
much more to help others
in their time of need.
Next door to Poppy’s,
in the former Knight’s
Department Store, at 48
Court Street, is an appealing addition to the tour.
It is a Model Electric
Train and Antique Toy
display, with the trains in
motion.
This year, the tour will
be Friday evening only,
to avoid any interference
with the many other
events in downtown
Gallipolis on Saturday,
including the annual

kindle the holiday spirit
of everyone who sees it,
with the entire City Park
ﬁlled with a truly magniﬁcent display of trees

into its forecast, but it
says the real drivers will
be the job market. It forecasts that holiday sales
will rise between 3.8%
and 4.2%, an increase
from the disappointing 2.1% growth in the
November and December
2018 period that came
well short of the group’s
prediction.
NRF expects online
and catalog sales, which
are included in the total,
to increase between 11%
and 14% for the holiday
period.
Last year’s holiday
sales were hurt by turmoil over the White
House trade policy with
China and a delay of
nearly a month in data
collection because of a
government shutdown.
Marshal Cohen, chief
industry analyst at market research ﬁrm NPD

Group Inc., says he
doesn’t believe a shorter
season will affect overall
sales, but early discounts
will likely diminish Black
Friday’s impact. In terms
of the busiest day of the
year, it will be a toss-up
between Black Friday
and the last Saturday
before Christmas.
“We still have the
same amount of money
to spend regardless of
whether the season is
longer or shorter,” he
said.
More than half of
consumers started their
holiday shopping early
this year, and nearly a
quarter of purchases
have already been made,
according to the annual
survey released by
the NRF and Prosper
Insights &amp; Analytics.
Kara Lopez and Jeremy Samora arrived at

Denver’s Cherry Creek

as it opened Friday to
snag deals on candles
and lotions at Bath &amp;
Body Works.
A half-hour later, they
sat with their purchases

Lopez started years ago
when she had to wait
in line for the store to
open and the ﬁrst shoppers inside got gifts like
stuffed animals. It’s more
relaxed these days, but
Lopez likes it that way.
“I like the mall but not
when it’s full of people,”
she said.
Adobe Analytics predicts a loss of $1 billion
in online revenue from a
shortened season. Still, it
expects online sales will
reach $143.7 billion, up
14.1% from last year’s

spent part of their
Thanksgiving weekend with Robert and
his family as the two
groups gave thanks for
new relationships as a
result of Carter’s contribution.
“It’s been an emotional roller coaster
for me,” said Robert.
“Needless to say, I’m
beyond thankful for
what Terri and Kara
did for letting Adam’s
organs be donated
because I don’t think
I’d be here right now
if they hadn’t. There
was a great possibility of that. I was near
death several times
and it was a rough go
for me. It’s hard to put
in words but it makes
me thankful. Meeting
them gives me incentive to take care of the
gift that was given,
which was his liver. It
puts faces with names
and it means a lot.”
Robert was diagnosed with nonalcoholic cirrhosis and
received the liver in
2014 in Cincinnati.
Robert’s donation was
facilitated by Lifeline
of Ohio.
“It means a lot to
know that you’re a
steward of such a gift
and it drives you to
be a good steward,”
said Monica Edwards,
Robert’s wife. “Even
our children, we have
six children, they’re
in their twenties and
teens. I noticed last
night…we asked Terri
questions about Adam
and she told us about
him and stories. My
children, who are
young adults, they
were sober and affected. It was solemn and
something to see them
take it in.”
“There’s something
within me that wants
to be an advocate
for organ donation
because there are so
many people who are
unaware of it and the
positive effects it has,”
said Haan. “It something that needs to
be talked about even
though it can be difﬁcult.“
“We took about four
years to work on letters to the (donation)
recipients and had to
go through (the organ
donation program),”
said Terri. “I talked
to Kara who’s gifted
in that kind of thing
and gave her my outline. She started and
ﬁnished and sent the
letters. (The organ
donation program)
contacted the recipient and it’s gone from
there. We’ve had two
responses back and we
heard from the man
with Adam’s heart…
Then we heard from
Rob about a year ago…
We have been talking
to Monica and Rob
online, texting, but
never in person. We
decided we needed to
get with them around
Thanksgiving. Its been
wonderful. We feel
like we’ve known each
other forever. The connection is so big and
hard to describe.”
Kara and Terri said
that meeting Adam’s
donors was healing
for them and it was
important to know
that Carter lived on
assisting others in
some form as he had
a love of life he often
displayed having been

OHIO BRIEFS

Data suspect

CLEVELAND (AP)
— Prosecutors say an
Ohio State Highway
Patrol trooper misused
a law enforcement
database to look up
information about his
estranged wife’s acquaintances while on duty.
Brian Bracy, of Elyria, is
charged with 12 counts
of unauthorized use of
property, a ﬁfth-degree
felony. He pleaded
not guilty this week in
Cuyahoga County court.
A message seeking comment was left Friday
for his lawyer. Prosecutors say the 49-year-old
Bracy accessed the
database a dozen times
between December 2017
and September 2018
to search for names,
license plates and other
information about his
wife’s friends after the
couple separated. The
patrol says it investigated a tip about Bracy
earlier this year and put
him on unpaid leave
after he was indicted.

Blue Devils
drop opener
to Athens
By Alex Hawley
ahawley@aimmediamidwest.com

CENTENARY, Ohio — The halftime break did
the hosts no favors.
The Gallia Academy boys basketball team led
non-conference guest Athens by two points at
the midway point of Friday’s season-opening
contest in Gallia County, but the visiting Bulldogs were ahead by double digits by the end of
the third quarter and wound up with a 64-55
victory.
The Blue Devils (0-1) connected on ﬁve ﬁeld
goals in the opening period and trailed 18-11
eight minutes into play.
Gallia Academy surged for 20 points on the
strength of seven ﬁeld goals in the second quarter, making a trio of three pointers. The Bulldogs (1-0) tallied 11 points in the second and
headed into the break trailing 31-29.
Athens went on a 22-to-10 run in the third
period, however, taking the 51-41 lead into the
ﬁnale.
GAHS came up with 15 points in the fourth
quarter, but Athens hit 9-of-15 free throws and
scored 13 points in the canto, sealing the 64-55
win.
Logan Blouir led the Blue Devil offense with
16 points, including 12 from long range. Isaac
Clary was next with 10 points, followed by
Damon Cremeens with nine. Ben Cox and Cooper Davis scored seven points apiece in the setback, while Reece Thomas and Justin Wilcoxon
each came up with three.
Leading the Bulldogs, Brayden Whiting
scored 16 points and Brayden Markins had 12.
Nate Trainer and Will Malters had 10 points
apiece for AHS, Isaiah Butcher was next with
eight points, followed by Andrew Stephens with
seven and Reece Wallace with two.
For the game, Athens made 15-of-21 (71.4
percent) free throws, while GAHS was 8-of-9
(88.9 percent) from the line.
Next for the Blue Devils, the Ohio Valley Conference opener at home against Ironton on Dec.

Steelers, Browns
bracing for
pivotal rematch
PITTSBURGH (AP)
— Myles Garrett won’t
be in the stadium. Barring injury, Mason
Rudolph won’t be on the
ﬁeld.
While the absence
of the central ﬁgures
in the helmet-swinging
brawl that marred Cleveland’s 21-7 whipping of
Pittsburgh on Nov. 14
removes a topic for fhe
rematch on Sunday, both
sides believe it will do
little to change the tenor
of a rivalry that suddenly
feels very much alive.
“We love being in hotbutton games. We love
being in hotly contested
AFC North games,”
Steelers coach Mike
Tomlin said.
“To be quite honest
with you, we’re not a
group that runs from
these type of games.
We’re the type of group
that runs to these type
of games. We view it
as an honor to be the
consistent team in these
battles.”
Something that’s new
for the Browns (5-6),
who have ripped off
three straight victories
to save a season that
seemed on the brink of
careening out of control.

Garrett and Rudolph’s
ugly altercation in the
ﬁnal seconds — which
included Rudolph
attempting to tug off
Garrett’s helmet and
the Cleveland defensive
end responding by ripping off the Pittsburgh
quarterback’s helmet and
then slugging Rudolph
with it; a sequence that
earned Garrett an indeﬁnite suspension and led
to Rudolph fending off
allegations he used a
racial slur — overshadowed a dominant performance by the Browns
that hinted at a shift in
the balance of power in
a series that’s been onesided for decades.
Cleveland didn’t just
beat the Steelers, the
Browns beat them up
long before Garrett and
Rudolph went at it. Just
16 days later the teams
meet again with the
stakes — and almost
certainly the emotions
— even higher.
Pittsburgh (6-5) currently holds the last
wild-card spot in the
wide-open AFC. The
Browns can leapfrog the
Steelers by winning at
Heinz Field for the ﬁrst
time since 2003.

RACINE, Ohio —
Wire-to-wire for win No.
1.
The Meigs girls basketball team opened its
season with a 51-38 victory over host Southern
on Wednesday night,
never trailing in the nonconference win.
The Lady Marauders
(1-0) scored the game’s
opening bucket 11 seconds into play and led 5-1
two minutes later. The
Lady Tornadoes (1-1)
claimed ﬁve of the next
seven points, but Meigs
ended the opening quarter with a 7-to-2 run for a
14-8 advantage.
SHS got back to within
three points in the second
period, but a buzzerbeating trifecta by Bre
Lilly extended the Lady
Marauder lead to 19-13 at
halftime.
The Maroon and Gold
started the second half
with an 11-0 run and
led by a game-high 17
points, at 30-13, with
four minutes left in the
third quarter. Southern

Memphis tops Cincinnati 34-24 to host AAC game
MEMPHIS, Tenn.
(AP) — The Memphis
Tigers marked off their
ﬁrst 11-win season along
with the 500th victory
in program history all in
the same game.
Now those are almost
afterthoughts with the
Tigers’ sights set on
much, much more.
Brady White threw for
233 yards and two touchdowns as No. 17 Memphis beat 18th-ranked
Cincinnati 34-24 Friday
for the Tigers’ third
straight American Athletic Conference West
title and the right to host
the league championship — and the Bearcats
again — next week.
This will be the ﬁrst
time that Memphis (111, 7-1, No. 18 CFP) will
host a conference title
game. And the Tigers
will do it with a chance
at playing in the Cotton

Bowl still possible for
a program that doesn’t
have many trophies
around.
“We do want to celebrate it,” Memphis
coach Mike Norvell said
of that third straight
division title. “But we’re
not done.”
Memphis set up the
rematch by snapping the
East Division champ’s
nine-game winning
streak. Cincinnati (10-2,
7-1, No. 19 CFP) hadn’t
lost since being routed
by Ohio State on Sept. 7,
and having to return to
the Liberty Bowl to play
Memphis in consecutive
weeks wasn’t something
coach Luke Fickell
thought about knowing that would mean a
Bearcats’ loss.
“There’s things you got
to be able to do differently, there’s things you got
to be able to change,”

Fickell said. “But just
like them, we still got to
be who we are.”
Joseph Dorceus and
Bryce Huff had two
sacks apiece, and Memphis ﬁnished with ﬁve.
The Tigers came up with
three turnovers, including an interception by
Sanchez Blake Jr. with
1:35 left.
Memphis also forced
Cincinnati three-and-out
after Ahmad Gardner
intercepted White with
7:49 left with the Tigers
up only 27-24.
The Tigers led only
20-17 when they put
together their longest
drive, going 83 yards
over nine plays capped
by a ﬂea ﬂicker. Patrick
Taylor took the handoff, handed to Kedarian Jones who ﬂipped
the ball to White, and
he hit Damonte Coxie
for a 46-yard TD with

13:22 left on a play that
Memphis put in a couple
weeks ago.
“I put it out there for
my guy, he made a good
play and really good to
see us execute something we’ve been practicing for two weeks,”
White said.
Antonio Gibson scored
on a 29-yard TD run
with 3:16 left for the
ﬁnal margin for Memphis. White also threw a
9-yard TD pass to Jones
in the ﬁrst quarter.
Cincinnati started
redshirt freshman Ben
Bryant for the ﬁrst time,
snapping a 24-game
streak of starts for Desmond Ridder whose
ailing shoulder limited
him to 140 yards passing
combined over his past
two games. Bryant had
nearly that by halftime
and ﬁnished with 229
for Cincinnati’s fourth-

highest passing game
this season.
“He did a great job,”
Fickell said of Bryant.
“No one wants turnovers. Again, we had
obviously a few too
many of those. He had
poise, he had conﬁdence.
He didn’t’ seem rattled at
any time in the game.”
Bryant threw a 4-yard
TD pass to Leonard
Taylor helping Cincinnati put together backto-back TD drives in the
second quarter to tie it
up at 17 just before halftime. Michael Warren II
followed with a 3-yard
TD run. Bryant also ran
for a 12-yard TD with
10:27 left as Cincinnati
pulled within 27-24.
The takeaway
Cincinnati: The
Bearcats came in leading the AAC in scoring
defense, allowing just

19.9 points a game. They
held the nation’s eighthbest scoring offense
below its average of
42.2 points a game, and
Memphis didn’t match
its average of 488.2
yards a game. Even with
the offensive boost Bryant provided, it wasn’t
enough.
Fickell said they will
need to know Ridder’s
status by Tuesday or
Wednesday before making a decision on who
starts the title game.
Memphis: The Tigers
already came in leading the nation in special
teams efﬁciency and
had the most kickoffs
returned for TDs in the
past four years with
10. Chris Claybrooks
became the ﬁfth different
player to score at least
once on a kickoff return,
taking the opening kickoff 94 yards for a TD.

Jets go for 4th straight; winless Bengals go back to Dalton
CINCINNATI (AP)
— The Jets are seeing
growth in their young
quarterback as they try
for a fourth straight
win. The Bengals have
dumped their rookie and
returned to Andy Dalton
in hopes of getting that
elusive ﬁrst one as the
season slips away.
Two teams that had
been stuck on zero early
in the season are headed
in different directions as
November winds down.
The quarterbacks will
have a lot to do with
how the ﬁnal month
plays out, starting

West Virginia’s Josh Chandler (35) stops a NC State lineman after
a fumble recovery, during the Mountaineers’ non-conference win
on Sept. 14 in Morgantown, W.Va.

WVU win keeps
TCU from getting
bowl eligible, 20-17
FORT WORTH, Texas
(AP) — West Virginia
quarterback Jarret Doege
threw the ball and then
took a big hit. When he
got up and looked down
the ﬁeld, he saw the
ofﬁcial with his hands in
the air signaling a touchdown.
“I had no idea what
happened,” Doege said.
“Just in my head. I’m
thinking, ‘No way, no
way. Like, how did that
just happen?’ I was kind
of in shock.”
So was TCU. Isaiah
Esdale made an overthe-shoulder catch on a
perfect pass for a 35-yard
touchdown with 2:10 left,
just getting his feet inside
the pylon on the front
corner of the end zone,
and West Virginia ended
coach Neal Brown’s ﬁrst
season with a 20-17 win
on Friday that kept the
Horned Frogs from getting bowl eligible.
“Huge win to ﬁnish the
year,” Brown said. “It’s
been a long year, but our
guys battled.”
The game-winning
drive by West Virginia
(5-7, 3-6 Big 12) was
extended by two huge
penalties. There was a
pass interference call
on a fourth down, and
then TCU defensive
tackle Ross Blacklock was
ejected for targeting for a
hit on Doege on a thirdand-12 incompletion only
two plays before the goahead touchdown.
“Can’t give ballgames
away. … Can’t keep drives
alive with personal fouls.
Plain and simple,” TCU

coach Gary Patterson
said. “Only a few times
in my life, since I’ve been
here, that we’ve lost when
I’ve held people under
300 yards. And that’s happened twice this year.”
TCU (5-7, 3-6) isn’t
bowl eligible for only the
third time in Patterson’s
19 full seasons as head
coach. The Horned Frogs
lost four of their last ﬁve
games. All those losses
were by a touchdown or
less, including losses to
Big 12 co-leaders Baylor
and Oklahoma. Doege
completed 20 of 35 passes for 158 yards with two
touchdowns and three
interceptions that TCU
failed to convert into
any points. The Bowling
Green transfer will maintain his junior status next
season after playing in
only the last four games.
“I think it was big for
me. I think it let me earn
respect to my teammates
that I can come and play
in the Big 12, and I’m not
just some kid from Bowling Green,” Doege said.
“And I hope, I think, that
they believe in me and I
believe in them. I think
we’ve got a bright future.”
Horned Frogs freshman
quarterback Max Duggan
was 15-of-36 passing for
144 yards with two interceptions as both teams
had fewer than 300 total
yards on a cool, damp
day. TCU had 297 yards,
and West Virginia 244.
TCU led 17-10 after
Jalen Reagor’s 70-yard
punt return for a touchdown early in the third
quarter.

Sunday at Paul Brown
Stadium.
New York (4-7) has
won three in a row, with
second-year quarterback
Sam Darnold showing
signs that he’s ﬁnally
settling in. He’s put
together the best stretch
of his young career,
including an impressive
showing during a 34-3
drubbing of the Raiders
last Sunday.
For the Jets, there’s
some long-term hope.
“You continue to learn
the offense and you continue to feel really good
about the plays that we

are running, and we
start to get in a really
good rhythm,” said Darnold, whose 127.8 passer
rating against the Raiders was a season high.
“And I think we have felt
that the last few weeks
and we are only going to
continue to get better.”
Things haven’t
improved at all for the
Bengals (0-11), off to the
worst start in franchise
history. They have their
longest in-season losing streak as well. They
benched Dalton in favor
of rookie Ryan Finley
after the eighth loss,

deciding they needed to
ﬁnd out how the fourthround pick ﬁts in their
long-term plans.
Coach Zac Taylor
ended the experiment
this week and went back
to his 11th-year veteran
in hopes of avoiding
the ignominy of an 0-16
season. For Dalton, it’s
a chance to show he can
still be a starting quarterback somewhere next
year.
“I feel like I’ve proven
that throughout my
career, and this is just
another opportunity,”
Dalton said.

Wesson’s perfection leads Ohio State over Morgan State, 90-57
COLUMBUS, Ohio
(AP) — Andre Wesson
had a perfect day— at
least on the basketball
court.
Wesson scored 19
points to help No. 10
Ohio State rout Morgan
State 90-57 on Friday
night.
He made all four of his
3-point attempts and all
seven of his free throws
to lead the Buckeyes
(7-0). He had scored
just 21 points the entire
season after missing two
games due to a fractured
eye socket. Kaleb Wesson
added 13 and C.J. Walker
10 for the Buckeyes, who
had their highest-scoring
effort of the season.
“I think we have a lot
we can grow from this

game,” Ohio State coach
Chris Holtmann said.
“I’m excited (about) some
of the improvements that
need to happen. I thought
Morgan State, their
changing defenses and
how hard they played,
created some trouble for
us. They got in a rhythm
defensively. We have a
lot to take from it, a lot
to learn from, a lot to get
better.”
Morgan State (3-6),
which lost its fourth
straight, was led by Stanley Davis with 13 points,
the only Bear to score in
double ﬁgures. Ohio State
dominated in nearly every
category, including bench
points (46-18), rebounds
(43-31) and points off
turnovers (22-1).

Morgan State went
without a ﬁeld goal for
six of the last seven
minutes in the ﬁrst half
and trailed 45-18 in a
back-and-forth game that
showed plenty of sloppiness on both sides. The
Bears hung tough in the
second half off 48.3%
shooting but could not
narrow the gap, although
they are the ﬁrst team
this season to score more
than 56 points against
Ohio State.Morgan State
coach Kevin Broadus said
the Ohio State team he
saw has the ability to go
far.
“You have to pick your
poison with them,” he
said. “Do you want to try
and stop (Kaleb) Wesson?
Which we couldn’t and

we knew we couldn’t, or
do you want to stop them
from shooting threes?
“I think that’s a really
good team. I think they
got a chance to play late
in March, I really do.”
Tip-ins
The Buckeyes last
scored 90 points against
Iowa Feb. 26. … Morgan
State’s marching band
on Thursday became the
ﬁrst HBCU band from
Maryland to perform in
the Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade. The game
marked a Big Ten return
for Broadus, who this
year took the Morgan
State helm after being an
assistant at the University of Maryland, College
Park.

“I’m excited (about) some of the
improvements that need to happen. I thought
Morgan State, their changing defenses and
how hard they played, created some trouble
for us. They got in a rhythm defensively. We
have a lot to take from it, a lot to learn from,
a lot to get better.”
— Chris Holtmann
Ohio State coach

Big picture
Ohio State wasted no
time dispensing with the
overmatched Bears and
beneﬁting from 22 Morgan State fouls to stretching its undefeated season
to seven games.
Up next
Ohio State is on the
road Wednesday at North

Carolina, with tip-off at
9:30 p.m. Morgan State is
home Wednesday versus
Towson University at 7
p.m.
Foul ball
Morgan State leads
NCAA Division 1 for
most fouls with 239 in
their ﬁrst nine games, an
average 26.6 per game.
