ROCKSPRINGS — Ohio’s 70th
Governor, Mike DeWine, addressed
Meigs County Republicans on Thursday evening during the annual Lincoln Day Dinner held at Meigs High
School.
Thursday’s dinner was the largest
crowd at the dinner in recent years,
with a large group of local high
school students representing Eastern,

Southern, Meigs, Alexander and the
home-school community. There were
also several students representing the
Ohio University Republicans group.
DeWine acknowledged local and
state ofﬁcials, including State Rep.
Jay Edwards, State Senator Frank
Hoagland and Congressman Bill
Johnson.
“No one ﬁghts harder for the this

According to a news
release, the Southern
Ohio Council of Governments ( SOCOG) was
awarded grant funding to
purchase a Mobile Smart
Home to promote awareness of technology-based
support for people with
developmental disabilities. Devices and services
called “remote supports”
can give people access to
support staff over twoway video or audio conversations. In addition,
many technologies in the
home such as security
systems, door locks, cameras and motion sensors
are accessible by remote
staff from a central monitoring facility. Remote
supports are designed to
complement traditional
in-home services, and
individuals can choose
which option is right for
them. These supports
can allow greater privacy
and independence while
reducing the cost of services and allowing more
people to receive services
during a shortage of available staff.

Democrats try to blunt
strong California
showing for Sanders
By Kathleen Ronayne
Associated Press

SACRAMENTO,
Calif. — California
is the largest prize in
the calculations of any
Democratic presidential
candidate, and Bernie Sanders has been
working the state for
months, worrying his
rivals.
Sanders has been
organizing intensively
among Latinos and
young voters, producing
campaign materials in
seven languages, going,
as one aide said, “where
most candidates don’t
go.” Mike Bloomberg
has tried to counter
Sanders with saturation
advertising, including
buying time at television stations in Arizona, Nevada and Oregon
that also reach California. Pete Buttigieg held
three public events in
the past week to capitalize on his early state
momentum. Joe Biden
and Elizabeth Warren
remain competitive.
The attention reﬂects
a growing concern
among Sanders’ rivals
that if he performs well
enough in the state,
with its 415 delegates at
stake on Super Tuesday,
March 3, that he could
build a delegate lead
that is difﬁcult to catch.
Early voting is already
underway in the state

and Sanders and other
candidates are aggressively trying to lock
down supporters.
“California’s one of
those unique places
because these presidential elections don’t play
out here very often,”
said Ace Smith, one of
the state’s best known
political strategists.
“There’s just a real
thirst.”
Competing in the
state isn’t simple; it is
home to some of the
nation’s most expensive
media markets, there
are roughly 20 million
voters, and delegates
are awarded both on
the statewide level
and in each of the 53
congressional districts.
A candidate must hit
15% statewide to get a
share of 144 delegates.
Another 271 awarded
by reaching 15% in a
congressional district,
with heavily Democratic
districts offering more
delegates.
Sanders’ campaign
has long counted
California as important,
deploying more than
80 staff here last year
and sending Sanders
regularly. He planned
two rallies Friday in
heavily Latino areas, on
top of an event earlier
this week in the San
Francisco Bay Area, a
Democratic stronghold
rich with delegates.

Trump rejects intel reports of Russian meddling
By Aamer Madhani,
Deb Riechmann
and Mary Clare Jalonick
Associated Press

WASHINGTON —
President Donald Trump
on Friday minimized new
warnings from U.S. intelligence experts that Russia is interfering in this
year’s election campaign,
and revived old grievances in claiming that Democrats are determined to
undermine the legitimacy
of his presidency.
As Trump pushed back
against the reports that
Russia is working to
help reelect him, more
departures from the U.S.
Ofﬁce of the Director of
National Intelligence were
announced.
Trump started the day
on Twitter by claiming
that Democrats were
pushing a “misinformation campaign” in hopes
of politically damaging
him. Then, making light
of the intelligence ﬁndings at a campaign rally in
Las Vegas, he suggested
that Russia might actually prefer Sen. Bernie
Sanders, one of the top
Democratic presidential
contenders, in the White
House. Sanders and his

Trump noted.
“Would you rather have,

that Russia is meddling
with the hope of getting
Trump reelected, according to ofﬁcials familiar
with the brieﬁng
The fresh intelligence
warnings about Russian
interference came in what
has been a tumultuous

stretch for the intelligence community.
A day after the Feb.
13 brieﬁng to the House
Intelligence Committee,
Trump berated the acting Director of National
Intelligence Joseph Maguire in a meeting at the
White House. Then this
week, Trump abruptly
announced that Maguire
would be replaced by
Richard Grenell, a Trump
loyalist who also will hold
the job in an acting capacity.
In addition to Maguire,
two other senior ofﬁcials
will soon leave the agency. Andrew Hallman, one

of Maguire’s top deputies, announced Friday
he would leaving. He is
expected to return to the
CIA, where he has spent
more than 30 years,
according to an ofﬁcial
familiar with the move,
who spoke on condition
of anonymity to discuss
the personnel move.
In addition, Jason
Klitenic, the general
counsel for the national
intelligence director’s
ofﬁce, is returning to private practice. Klitenic’s
departure is unrelated to
the sudden shakeup by
Trump, according to the
ofﬁcial.
Former CIA Director John Brennan told
MSNBC’s “Morning Joe”
on Friday that Trump’s
ouster of Maguire and
Hallman was a “virtual
decapitation of the intelligence community.”
Trump tweeted Friday
that he was considering four candidates to
serve as permanent intel
director and expected to
make a decision within
the next few weeks. He
told reporters Thursday
evening that Rep. Doug
Collins of Georgia was
among those he’s considering.

MEIGS HEALTH MATTERS

GALLIA, MEIGS CALENDAR

Iron deficiency anemia

Card showers

Iron deﬁciency anemia
is a very common type
of anemia. As the name
implies, it occurs when
the blood lacks sufﬁcient
iron. Without enough
iron a body can’t produce
enough hemoglobin.
Hemoglobin is found in
healthy red blood cells
and transports oxygen
throughout the body.
When the body can’t
transport oxygen effectively we begin to feel
tired and run-down.
There are several things
that can cause low iron,
from a lack of dietary
intake to blood loss, as
well as certain diseases
and even pregnancy. A
good dietary intake of
iron rich foods is always
the best step to combat
low iron levels. Most
people associate red
meats with high iron, but
the fact is there are many
foods rich in iron. Meats
are a good source of iron,
but we can also ﬁnd iron
in foods such as eggs,
peanut butter, kidney
beans, and tofu, just to
name a few protein alternatives to meat. Many
vegetables and grains
also contain high levels
of iron, from broccoli and

bin for the growing fetus.
The Women, Infants and
Children (WIC) Program routinely checks
iron levels on all of our
participants and makes
physician referrals when
iron levels are found to be
low. We also address what
may be causing the low
levels as well as how to
improve them and what
symptoms to watch for.
The most common
symptom of iron deﬁciency anemia is lethargy
or fatigue. We may also
see paleness, cold hands,
headaches, dizziness, and
cravings for ice, dirt or
starch. Some more serious symptoms that we
see are heart palpitations,
chest pain, and shortness
of breath. If you suffer
from any of these symptoms you should follow
up with your physician
to verify iron deﬁciency
before taking supplements.

Ohio’s agriculture
leaders believe enough
farmers will take steps
to reduce their nutrient
runoff so that tougher
regulations won’t be
needed to meet the state’s
goal of drastically reducing the pollutants within
ﬁve years.
Environmental organizations, including those
behind a lawsuit seeking
to force mandatory pollution rules for the lake,
have cautiously applauded the state’s decision to
set pollution limits.
“The devil will be in
the details,” said Howard Learner, president
of the Environmental
Law &amp; Policy Center.
“Voluntary measures and
incentives are not sufﬁcient enough to solve the
problems What is needed,
in addition to those, are

enforceable regulatory
standards.”
That’s why his group’s
lawsuit seeking increased
pollution controls will
continue, he said.
Creating new pollution
limits through a “total

plan isn’t a cure-all and is
just one tool the state is
implementing to reduce
the harmful nutrients
going into the lake, said
Heidi Griesmer, an EPA
spokeswoman.
The agency described
the plan as a road map for
routes that can be used to
improve water quality.
County commissioners
in the Toledo area, which
went without tap water
for two days in 2014 after
algal toxins contaminated
the city’s supply, said this
week that tougher regulations are needed for the
plan to work.

THE STAPLETON FAMILY
I’m Jay Stapleton, and I want to be one of
your Gallia County Commissioners. One
reason I am running for the ofﬁce of Gallia
County Commissioner on March 17th, 2020,
is because I want to help improve the county
we live in. I am looking forward to learning
what the members of our community see as
their chief concerns and then working with
them to address those concerns. I want this
to always be a good place for my children
and grandchildren to live and work, as
well as your own. I want them to always be
proud to call it home. Your vote will allow
me to pursue these goals.

Players, cheerleaders and coaches from the 2019-20 season of the Upward Basketball/Cheerleading program at the Gallipolis First Church of the Nazarene.

Celebrating
20 seasons
of ‘Upward’
Staff Report

GALLIPOLIS —
Twenty years? Where has
the time gone? Twenty
years ago Bill Clinton was
president with George
W. Bush on the campaign
trail, Justin Timberlake
was still in NSYNC and
the release of the ﬁrst
iPhone was still seven
years away.
Though many things
have changed, the
Upward Basketball/
Cheerleading program
at the Gallipolis First
Church of the Nazarene,
a consistent presence in
lives of now generations
of young people, recently
celebrated its 20th season.
Doug and Elaine
Brown of Point Pleasant, W.Va., help lead
the program along with
the assistance of a few
(but mighty) faithful
volunteers. Children’s
pastor RuthAnn Fellure is
credited with originally
bringing the national
program to the church,
the latter of which has
sponsored Upward Sports
in the community for
two decades. During that
time, it’s estimated thousands of children have
participated.
Upward Sports was
established in 1995 as the
world’s largest Christian
youth sports provider.
Upward Sports is the only
organization that offers
the 360 Progression,
described as a uniquely
designed total sports
experience that adapts
and expands as players
grow in their personal
athletic journeys. The
360 Progression develops
total athletes mentally,
athletically, spiritually
and socially — producing
players who excel both on
and off the ﬁeld.

THEIR VIEW

Protecting
your Social
Security
During his campaign, President Trump promised to protect Social Security, Medicare, and
Medicaid. He has broken that promise over and
over.
The Trump Administration’s budget proposes a
$75 billion cut to Social Security Disability Insurance, and that’s on top of their plan that will make
it harder for people with disabilities to get the
Social Security support they need.
The Trump Administration wants to
make Ohioans jump through bureaucratic hoops and complete more
unnecessary paperwork, while wasting taxpayer money in the process.
More than half a million Ohioans
rely on SSDI or on Supplemental
Security Income, another program

Contributing ends meet. There is already a large
backlog of people waiting to get
columnist
approved. In 2017, more than 10,000
Americans died while waiting for
SSDI beneﬁts to begin.
And now the administration wants to conduct
an additional 2.6 million case reviews over the
next decade.
Instead of going after CEOs that move money
around to cheat on their taxes, or corporations
that rip people off, the Administration decided
the best use of taxpayer money is to cut beneﬁts
and make sure that Ohioans with cancer or cystic
ﬁbrosis ﬁll out some more forms.
There’s no reason to do this other than cruelty.
Last month, the President let slip Republicans’
plan – after their tax handouts to billionaires and
corporations blew up the deﬁcit, they plan to pay
for it by cutting Social Security and Medicare.
President Trump wants to pay for his corporate
tax cuts on the backs of working families and
seniors. We know that’s always been the corporate
crowd’s preferred method to deal with the deﬁcit –
steal the money Americans have paid in to Social
Security and Medicare.
We won’t let them get away with it.
Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) represents the state in the U.S. Senate.

I do not remember
exactly where I was
on Feb. 22, 1980, but I
remember practically
holding my breath for 10
minutes with the United
States clinging to a tenuous one-goal lead before
they held on to complete
what became known as
“The Miracle On Ice”
— a 4-3 victory over the
vaunted USSR in the
Olympic Games at Lake
Placid, N.Y.
I have witnessed lots of
upsets and thrilling ﬁnishes over the years. They
all pale in comparison to
that one in 1980 that sent
our country into a starspangled frenzy.
Chants of “USA, USA,
USA” broke out in the
Lake Placid arena, and
they echoed across the
country in countless living rooms and establishments. U.S. ﬂags waved,
players tackled each other
and rolled around on the
ice, a reporter broke the
code of silence in the
press box. I had goosebumps from my head to
my toes as I watched the
scene unfold, even though
it was on a three-hour
tape delay.
It was during the Cold
War. The mighty Soviets
had not lost the Olympic
hockey competition since
1968. They dominated
professional teams and
were widely regarded
as the best collection of
players in the world. They
had been honing their
collective skills for years.
The Americans were just
a bunch of college kids
and former college players.

Few people know that
if I’m at a sporting event
(or even watching one
on TV) and the national
anthem is played before
the game, visible goosebumps will appear on
my arms. Sometimes I

my legs and clear to the
top of my head. This

basketball. I don’t think
I gave it much thought
back then. But as I aged
and it continued to happen, I wondered why?
It still happens almost
41 years to the day that
I played my last high
school game. And it can
be in any setting, like
somewhere on Memorial Day or Veterans Day.
If the national anthem
starts playing, I get
goosebumps.
I’ve always assumed
the sensation started
largely because of the
sense of anxiousness and
excitement that tingled
through my body just
seconds before tipoff. But
I’ve come to believe it
was a mix of those emotions, while at the same
time hearing the national
anthem, staring at the

all that song and ﬂag
stand for.

emotions that rattled me

Members of the Ohio University Republicans group who were in attendance at the dinner are pictured
with Governor Mike DeWine.

children signed up for the
program.
Turning toward the
upcoming election season, DeWine spoke to
the importance of the
party retaining the two
Ohio Supreme Court
seats up for election this
year. Justices Sharon
Kennedy and Judi French
are both up for reelection
in 2020. While they are
unopposed in the primary, they face Democrat
opposition in November.
DeWine added that in the
General Election judges
and justices appear on
the ballot without party
afﬁliation, meaning it is
important to know the
names of the justices
who represent the party’s
values.
In 2018, when the
Republicans won nearly
all of the statewide races,
it was the two Supreme
Court seats which were
won by the Democrats.
Should the Democrats
win two seats in 2020 it
would ﬂip from a conservative majority to a
liberal majority.
DeWine also spoke to
the current presidential
campaign and the recent
happenings in Washington D.C. He called the
actions of Speaker of the
House Nancy Pelosi in
tearing up the State of
the Union speech from
President Donald Trump
“absolutely shocking.”
He added that with the
recent events, Trump’s
popularity has never been
higher.
DeWine serves as one
the of the co-chairs for
Trump’s 2020 reelection
campaign in Ohio, stating
that he is “proud to do
that.”
Turning back to the
courts, DeWine said
that Trump has kept his
pledge to put conservatives on the bench,
including at the district
and circuit court levels.
DeWine said the goal
of his administration is
to “do everything we can
to make sure every child
lives up to his or her
Godgiven potential.” He
added that it is time to
invest in Ohio, something
he is working toward
with investments in education, trying to combat
the drug epidemic and
additional funding and
support for foster care
and adoption.
While DeWine said the
death rate related to overdoses has declined slight-

ly, he said it remains
higher than it should due
to fentanyl which comes
from China to Mexico
and then into the United
States. DeWine said that
one we they hope to help
with the drug epidemic is
to bring drug prevention
programs to children of
all ages.
“The essential focus of
government is to protect
us. … (That is) our most
important job,” sad DeWine.
The Governor, who
previously served as a
county prosecutor and
state Attorney General,
turned to the matter of
outstanding criminal
warrants. He said there
are currently more than
$500,000 outstanding
criminal warrants ranging
from failure to appear on
trafﬁc offenses to violent
crimes. Many of those
warrants are not entered
into state and national
databases which are utilized by law enforcement
when they run the information from a license
plate or driver’s license.
DeWine noted that this
can be dangerous for the
law enforcement ofﬁcers
as they may not know the
person they are approaching is a potentially
dangerous individual.
Possible legislation would
require all violent offense
warrants to be entered
into the databases.
After speaking, DeWine asked that all of the
high school students in
attendance stand up and
introduce themselves. He
added that he had been to
Lincoln Day Dinners all
over the state and that it
was the largest group of
students he had seen in
attendance.
DeWine also assisted
Meigs County Republican Party Chairman Bill
Spaun in recognizing
Recorder Kay Hill who
will be retiring after
more than 38 years in the

Recorder’s Ofﬁce, including many years as the
elected County Recorder.
Representatives for
State ofﬁce holders and
candidates were given
an opportunity to introduce themselves and the
person they represent as
were local Republican
candidates who appear
on the upcoming March
17 Primary Election ballot.
Ofﬁceholders and
candidates represented
included Court of
Appeals Judges Jason
Smith and Mike Hess,
representatives for Justice Sharon Kennedy,
Congressman Bill Johnson, Secretary of State
Frank LaRose, Treasurer
Robert Sprague, Attorney
General Dave Yost, and
State Senator Frank Hoagland. Also in attendance
were three individuals
who are in consideration
to ﬁll the Fourth District
Court of Appeals vacancy,
including local Magistrate and Gallia County
Assistant Prosecutor
Jeremy Fisher, as well as
individuals from Scioto
and Highland counties.
Meigs County Republican Candidates addressing the crowd were as
follows: Commissioner
candidates (seat one)
Shannon Miller and
Randy Smith; Commissioner candidates (seat
two) Gary Coleman and
Jimmy Will; Recorder
candidates Tony Carnahan, Huey Eason, Jimmy

Treasurer candidates B.J.

Constitutional amendments must be ratiﬁed

ERA’s future is uncertain, in part because the
ratiﬁcation deadline set

Ferriero, arguing that

1979 and later extended
to 1982, is not binding
“The Equal Rights

the 28th Amendment to

it is disappointing and
frankly unfathomable
that any state would
take action to block
equal rights for women,”
said Virginia Attorney
General Mark Herring

NASHVILLE, Tenn.
(AP) — Five Republican

seeking to block an effort
by three Democratic-led
states to see the Equal

adopted into the U.S.
Constitution.
Legal chiefs in ﬁve
states — Tennessee,
Alabama, Louisiana,

Tennessee Attorney General Herbert Slatery said
Thursday.
“Tennessee has an
interest in ensuring that
its vote to reject the ERA
is given effect,” Slatery
said. Virginia recently

designed to guarantee
women the same legal

rallies late,
earns split
By Randy Payton
For Ohio Valley Publishing

ONEIDA, Tenn. — Morgan Santos’ two-out,
run-scoring single in the bottom of the seventh
inning capped a four-run rally and lifted the University of Rio Grande to 6-5 win over Lawrence
Tech (Mich.) University, Friday night, in the Bear
Creek Classic at a frosty Bear Creek Softball Complex.
The RedStorm improved to 2-4 with the win,
snapping a three-game losing streak in the process.
Earlier in the day, Rio dropped a 1-0 decision to
Taylor (Ind.) University for its third straight onerun setback.
A fourth straight loss appeared in the ofﬁng
after Lawrence Tech pushed across a pair of
unearned runs in the top of the seventh inning to
take a 5-2 lead.
In fact, four of the ﬁve runs scored by the Blue
Devils were unearned as a result of three Rio
Grande errors.
The RedStorm’s late rally began when freshman
Chase Arndt (Clyde, OH) led off with a double,
sophomore Shelby Schmitt (Fairﬁeld, OH) followed with a walk and a wild pitch by LTU pitcher
Alexa Cherney sent Arndt to third.
One out later, senior Lexi Philen (Tallmadge,
OH) doubled home Arndt and sophomore Taylor
Webb (Willow Wood, OH) followed with a tworun double to knot the score at 5-5.
A wild pitch moved Webb to third and sophomore Kenzie Cremeens (Ironton, OH) followed
with a walk, before a groundout to third by junior
Kayla Slutz (Navarre, OH) froze Webb at third and
allowed Cremeens to advance to second.
Santos, a junior from Dayton, Ohio, followed
by hitting Cherney’s ﬁrst pitch into center ﬁeld to
score Webb with the game-winner.
Santos and Arndt both ﬁnished 2-for-4 with a
double and a run batted in, while Philen and Webb
drove in two runs each.
Junior Raelynn Hastings (Commercial Point,
OH) earned the win in relief, recording three outs

Point rolls past White Falcons, 75-48
By Bryan Walters

POINT PLEASANT,
W.Va. — Just when things
were looking up for the
White Falcons, the Black
Knights countered with a
knockout blow.
A 34-9 surge over the
ﬁnal 11 minutes of regulation ultimately allowed
the Point Pleasant boys
basketball team to turn
a 1-possession nail-biter
into a resounding 75-48
victory over visiting
Wahama on Friday night
in a matchup of Mason
County programs at The
Dungeon.
The Black Knights (1011) ended up celebrating
Senior Night in style as
the hosts never trailed
and shot 58 percent from
the ﬁeld en route to their
fourth consecutive triumph.
The White Falcons
(0-20), however, put up a
pretty good ﬁght for three
quarters, even though
they trailed over the ﬁnal
20:26 of regulation.
WHS twice tied the
contest early in the
second quarter and overcame a double-digit deﬁcit with a 10-2 run that
closed the gap down to
41-39 with 3:01 remaining.
The Red and Black
ended the third frame
with 10 consecutive
points for a 51-39 edge,
then nailed 10-of-13 ﬁeld
goal attempts as part of
a 24-9 surge down the
stretch to wrap up the
27-point triumph.

secured its largest lead

of the night at 75-47 following an Eric Chapman
basket with 32 seconds
remaining.
Wahama outrebounded
the Black Knights by a
27-24 overall margin,
including a 9-4 edge on
the offensive glass. The
guests also committed 19
of the 29 turnovers in the
contest.
Point Pleasant had
nine different players
reach the scoring column, with four posting
double digits in that
winning cause. The
hosts netted 30-of-52

line for 75 percent.

Commissioner David K. Smith,
Getting the Job Done for Us!
Re-Elect

SMITH
- FOR GALLIA -

COUNTY COMMISSIONER

Tested. Trusted. True.

Dear Fellow Republican Gallia Countians:
First, I want to thank you for your past votes and support and for allowing me to serve as
one of your county commissioners. It is a privilege to serve you!
I am again asking for your vote and support on March 17th as we select our republican
candidate for county commissioner. My record is clear. During my years as one of your
county commissioners, I have worked hard to spend your tax dollars wisely and to provide
needed services to you, our Gallia County residents. I have been a life long republican and
have worked and supported republican views and candidates. I have been active in our local
party working to elect republicans on the local, state and national level my entire life.
Recently I along with your other 2 commissioners acquired 4 of the vacant cottages at GDC.
We bought these for 1 dollar from the state and have leased them to Hopewell, which will
provide needed services to residents of Gallia County and will have a payroll of about 2
million dollars a year. This is just one of many projects I have worked to accomplish in my
years as a commissioner.
The last few years has been especially hard to keep our county government functioning.
Costs have increased, especially law enforcement and prisoner housing costs and state funds
have to continue to decrease. Over the last 3 years, I have worked with our sheriff and other
commissioners to address our aging jail and to plan to replace this inadequate, aging facility.
I am happy to say that with our current team, and plans, we will break ground on the new jail
this year and occupy it sometime in 2022. This is a big project and I hope to complete it. My
teachers at Centerville and Southwestern always stressed completing a task once you start it.
I ask for your vote and support on March 17th so we may continue to work for Gallia County.
Sincerely,
David K. Smith
Gallia County Commissioner

Wrestler adds to abuse
allegations against
university doctor
ANN ARBOR,
Michigan (AP) — An
Olympic wrestler has
accused a University
of Michigan doctor of
touching him inappropriately during medical
exams at the school
and said the physician’s
reputation for such conduct was well known
among his teammates.
Andy Hrovat, who
competed for the U.S.
in the 2008 Summer
Olympics, told The
Associated Press on
Thursday that the
encounters with the
late Dr. Robert E.
Anderson happened
during his freshman
year in 1998.
“I would like to let
people know that it’s
OK to come out,” Hrovat said in an interview
from his attorney’s
ofﬁce in Denver. “It’s
OK to let your voice be
heard.”
He is the ﬁrst athlete
to make public accusations against Anderson
following complaints
this week from other
former students that
the doctor sexually
abused them decades
ago. The revelations
echo high-proﬁle sexual
abuse allegations made
against sports doctors
at other universities.
“I was warned about
him from teammates,
saying, ‘If anything
happens and you go see
the doctor, he’s going
to inappropriately
touch you, that’s just
what Dr. A does,’” Hrovat recalled.
He declined to
describe the exam, saying he was uncomfortable talking about it.
“To me, the mental
part of it of having to
go in there knowing
that this doctor was
going to touch you
inappropriately is what
sticks out most in my
mind,” he said.
Hrovat said he did
not tell then-Michigan
wrestling coach Dale
Bahr or anyone in
athletic administration
about Anderson’s conduct.
“In my mind, he
normalized what he
was doing and made
you think that was just
a normal part of the
procedure,” he said.
“So why would you tell
somebody?”
Speaking to the AP
on Friday, Bill Martin,
who was Michigan’s
athletic director from
2000 to 2010, said
Anderson had not even
been on his radar.
“I actually never met
him and never heard
one word about him
good, bad or indifferent,” Martin said in a
telephone interview.
On Thursday, the
university’s president
apologized to “anyone
who was harmed” by
Anderson. His comment came a day after
the school announced
that it had launched
an investigation into
Anderson’s behavior
following abuse allegations from ﬁve former
patients.
Another former student, Gary Bailey, told
the AP that Anderson
dropped his pants and
asked him to fondle his
genitals in a medical
exam during Bailey’s
senior year in 1968 or
1969. Bailey said he
ﬁlled out a complaint
form to the University
Health Service within
a month or so, writing
that the behavior was
“inappropriate.”
“I never heard anything about it ever
again,” said Bailey, now

72.
Ofﬁcials have
acknowledged that
some university
employees were aware
of accusations against
the doctor prior to a
2018 complaint that led
to a police investigation.
University President Mark Schlissel
opened a meeting of
the school’s Board of
Regents Thursday by
reading a prepared
statement about Anderson, who died in 2008.
“The patientphysician relationship
involves a solemn commitment and trust,” he
said. “The allegations
are highly disturbing.
On behalf of the university, I apologize to anyone who was harmed
by Dr. Anderson.”
University spokesman Rick Fitzgerald
said Thursday that,
since the investigation was announced,
22 people have called
a hotline to report on
interactions with the
onetime director of
the University Health
Service and physician
for the football team.
Fitzgerald said he did
not have detailed information about the individual callers or what
they described. He
said some of the callers reported having no
issues with Anderson.
“It was a traumatic
thing at the time,”
Bailey said of his experience with Anderson.
While the abuse has
not “ruined my life or
anything, it may have
other people and that’s
why I’m bringing my
story to light.”
Bailey, who is
gay, said Anderson
“preyed a little bit on
people who were gay
… because he sort
of thought that they
wouldn’t say anything
because, you know,
people were pretty
closeted back then.”
He said he told friends
about the abuse
decades ago.
Bailey, of Dowagiac,
Michigan, ﬁrst publicly
spoke to The Detroit
News.
Another man, Robert
Julian Stone, told the
AP on Wednesday that
Anderson assaulted
him during a medical
appointment at the university’s health center
in 1971. Stone said
he alerted university
ofﬁcials last summer,
inspired by the national
#MeToo movement
against sexual misconduct.
The AP left phone
messages with two
of Anderson’s three
children. An email was
sent to the third seeking comment.
Fitzgerald said he
could not elaborate on
investigators’ ﬁndings
that some university
employees were aware
of accusations against
the doctor prior to the
2018 complaint that led
to a police investigation.
John Manly, a lawyer for many of the
hundreds of victims of
now-imprisoned former
Michigan State University sports doctor Larry
Nassar, said Thursday
that half a dozen people
have called his California-based ﬁrm alleging
abuse by Anderson –
mostly ex-football players and wrestlers. He
said they were fearful
of what could happen
to their positions on
teams or at the school
if they reported what
he did to them.

Wahama senior Hannah Rose (1) beats Point Pleasant senior Lena Zellinger to a loose ball during the first half of Thursday night’s girls
basketball game in Point Pleasant, W.Va.

Lady Falcons soar past Point, 50-30
By Bryan Walters
bwalters@aimmediamidwest.com

POINT PLEASANT,
W.Va. — About as much
of a group effort as you
could ask for.
The Wahama girls
basketball team had all
but one of its 10 players
reach the scoring column
and never trailed during
a 50-30 victory over host
Point Pleasant Thursday
night in a non-conference
matchup of Mason County programs.
The Lady Falcons (1210) notched their fourth
straight victory while
closing out the regular
season on a solid note,
with the guests building a
double-digit lead midway
through the second quarter while leading the ﬁnal
26 minutes of regulation.
The Lady Knights
(3-18) rallied from an
early 5-0 deﬁcit to pull
even after Morgan Miller
drilled a trifecta at the
3:19 mark of the opening frame, but an Emma
Gibbs offensive putback
18 at the 2-minute mark
gave WHS a permanent
lead of 7-5.
The Red and White
followed with a small 4-2
spurt and led 11-7 after
eight minutes of play.
Hannah Rose capped a
9-2 second period surge
with a free throw at the
4:15 mark, giving the
guests their ﬁrst doubledigit lead of the night at
20-9.
Brooke Warner
answered with a basket
18 seconds later to close
the deﬁcit back down to
three possessions, but the
Red and White answered
with a 7-4 run that result-

ed in a 27-15 cushion at
the break.
The Lady Falcons netted 8-of-12 shot attempts
and held PPHS scoreless
for more than six minutes in the third quarter,
allowing the guests to
make a 17-2 charge that
led to a 44-17 advantage
entering the ﬁnale.
The Red and Black
salvaged up some offense
down the stretch, with
Warner and Miller combining for 11 points
during a 13-6 push that
wrapped up the 20-point
outcome.
Morgan Christian gave
Wahama its largest lead
of the game at 50-19 with
a basket at the 5:39 mark
of the fourth.
The Lady Falcons out-

rebounded Point Pleasant
by a 34-25 overall margin,
including an 11-8 edge on
the offensive glass. The
hosts also committed 21
of the 35 turnovers in
the contest, including 10
second quarter turnovers
that resulted in a 14-3 discrepancy at the break.
WHS netted 21-of-58
ﬁeld goal attempts for 36
percent, including a 1-of7 effort from behind the
arc for 14 percent. The
guests were also 7-of-11
at the free throw line for
64 percent.
Rose led the Lady
Falcons with 16 points,
followed by Torre VanMatre with nine points
and Emma Gibbs with
eight markers. Gibbs also
hauled in a team-high

eight rebounds, while
Rose grabbed ﬁve caroms.
Mikie Lieving was next
with six points and Lauren Noble added three
points. Christian, Bailee
Bumgarner, A’leisia Barnitz and Amber Wolfe
completed the winning
tally with two points
each.
Point Pleasant made
12-of-45 shot attempts for
27 percent, including a
4-of-20 effort from behind
the arc for 20 percent.
The hosts were also 1-of2 at the charity stripe for
50 percent.
Warner paced PPHS
with a game-high 17
points, followed by Miller
with eight points and
Patience Burke with four
markers. Tayah Fetty
completed the scoring
with one point.
Tristan Wilson led
the Lady Knights with a
game-high nine rebounds.
Kierra Smith also
grabbed four boards in
the setback.

Player reps not voting on NFL labor deal; more talks Tuesday
NEW YORK (AP) —
NFL owners’ eagerness to
approve negotiated terms
of a new labor agreement
apparently is not matched
by the players.
They want more talks.
Union player representatives decided Friday to
not vote on the new labor
deal approved by team
owners Thursday. The
NFL Players Association
will meet with league
negotiators at the scouting combine in Indianapolis on Tuesday.
Earlier Friday, the
union’s executive committee voted 6-5 to recommend rejecting the terms
of the new collective bargaining agreement. But
the player reps and the
full union membership
could vote next week.
Objections to an
expanded regular season are considered the
main stumbling block to

player approval.
“Today the NFLPA
Board of Players Representatives did not take
a vote on the principal
terms of a proposed new
collective bargaining
agreement,” the union
said in a statement. “Our
player leadership looks
forward to meeting with
NFL management again
next week before the
board takes a vote shortly
after.”
If the NFLPA does
not approve the terms,
the current CBA that
expires in March 2021
would remain in effect
and further talks would
be required. The owners’ proposal features a
17-game season, shorter
preseason, larger rosters
and limits on the number
of international games.
The union’s executive committee includes
NFLPA President Eric

Winston, former Giants
linebacker Mark Herzlich
and former Bills linebacker Lorenzo Alexander, all
retired; Giants long snapper Zak DeOssie; 49ers
cornerback Richard Sherman; Patriots tight end
Benjamin Watson; Colts
kicker Adam Vinatieri;
Chargers tackle Russell
Okung; Saints punter
Thomas Morstead; Buccaneers linebacker Sam
Acho; and Giants safety
Mike Thomas.
Several people familiar
with the terms say they
feature increases in minimum salaries, changes in
practice squad makeup
and eligibility, and
reduced offseason and
preseason requirements
as pivotal parts of the
deal. Those people spoke
to The Associated Press
on condition of anonymity because speciﬁc details
of the provisions in the

agreement that would
run through 2030 are not
being made public.
An expansion of the
playoffs to seven teams
in each conference, with
only the top seed in the
AFC and NFC getting
a wild-card bye, can be
instituted by the league
without any negotiations
— as long as the postseason remains in a
four-week format. Several
owners are strongly in
favor of doing so regardless of the CBA status.
One of the wild-card
weekend games might
wind up as a Monday
night contest.
The 17-game schedule
actually is a compromise
offer for some owners
who wanted 18 games.
Adding the one regularseason match would seem
to indicate each of those
games would be at a neutral site.

Bickerstaff picks up pieces after Beilein leaves Cavaliers
INDEPENDENCE,
Ohio (AP) — When
John Beilein resigned as
Cleveland’s coach, swallowing his pride to leave
the Cavaliers after just
54 games, he offered his
preordained replacement
some encouraging words.
“Go after it,” J.B. Bickerstaff said, repeating
Beilein’s ﬁnal message.
That’s Bickerstaff’s
plan.
It’s now up to the
40-year-old, who has
experience at picking up
the pieces after previously taking over in Houston
and Memphis following
in-season coaching changes, to guide the Cavaliers
through the remainder of
another 82-game schedule
gone sideways — and
beyond.
On Wednesday, Beilein
cited his health, his family’s well-being and the
toll of a challenge he
wasn’t ready for as the
main reasons for stepping
away before the end of
his ﬁrst NBA season. The

Cavs won only 14 games
under Beilein, who built
a sterling reputation as
a college coach, most
recently for 12 years at
Michigan.
But their plans to have
the 67-year-old Beilein
mold their young team
backﬁred, so it’s on to
Bickerstaff, who said
Beilein did succeed in
impacting his coaches.
“He showed us a lot,
and taught us a lot as
we moved through it,”
said Bickerstaff, who is
relieved not to have the
interim tag hanging on
him. “He was conﬁdent
in the group that we
have, and he had an idea
of what he wanted it to
look like when it was over
with. And he told us to go
make it happen. So now
it’s our job to go out and
get that done.”
Bickerstaff was hired
by Cavaliers general manager Koby Altman last
year as an associate head
coach for this very reason. He was a safety net

in case things didn’t go as
planned with Beilein, and
Bickertaff was going to be
Cleveland’s next coach at
some point.
The timeline just
moved quicker than anyone imagined. The Cavs
play their ﬁrst game after
the All-Star break on Friday in Washington.
“It’s been pretty clear
what the plan was, but
never this fast did I
expect it to happen,” said
Bickerstaff, who spent
2017-19 with the Grizzlies. “So much changes
so quickly in this league,
though, because the
games keep coming. The
days keep moving that
you never quite know
what to expect day to day.
And you just have to be
prepared for each day as
it comes at you.”
Bickerstaff would know.
His father, Bernie, spent
parts of 15 seasons as
an NBA coach and the
76-year-old is currently
a senior adviser with the
Cavs.

The younger Bickerstaff
followed in his dad’s footsteps and worked his way
up the coaching ranks as
an assistant before taking
over the Rockets in 201516 when Kevin McHale
was ﬁred 11 games into
the season. Bickerstaff
led Houston to a playoff
appearance.
He left to be associate
head coach with the Grizzlies under David Fizdale.
who made it through only
19 games in the 2017-18
season. Bickerstaff took
over on an interim basis
and ﬁnished the season.
He got the full-time job
in 2018-19 but was ﬁred
after going 33-49.
Those experiences
have prepared him for
the Cavaliers, with their
young nucleus and proven
front court of Kevin Love,
Tristan Thompson and
newly acquired center
Andre Drummond.
“You kind of have an
idea of what’s next and
what works and what
doesn’t work,” Bickerstaff

Processing dangers of racing after Newman crash
LAS VEGAS (AP) —
NASCAR rolled west
this week, shifting from
the Daytona 500 to Las
Vegas Motor Speedway
without Ryan Newman.
Newman’s streak of
649 consecutive races
dating to 2002 will end
Sunday when he misses
the second race of the
2020 season as he recovers from a spectacular
last-lap crash at Daytona.
The rest of the ﬁeld will
be back on the track
after the most frightening accident in NASCAR
in nearly two decades
— one that made many
of them think long and
hard.
That includes Ryan
Blaney, the driver who
tried to shove Newman
to the Daytona win Monday night and instead
hooked Newman’s
car into the spin that
ultimately turned into
an airborne, ﬁery spectacle with Newman’s car
upside down and Newman trapped inside.
Blaney was clearly distraught after the race as
he paced outside his car,
even resting his head in
his arms on the roof. He
broke his silence as he
headed to Las Vegas.
“Have been replaying
the events in my head
over and over about
what I could’ve done
differently ever since,”
Blaney wrote in a long
social media post. “I’m
very lucky to have a
great family, friends,
team and incredible
fans that have helped
me out this week. I
can’t wait to have Rocketman Ryan Newman
back at the track racing

as hard as ever.”
Ross Chastain will
drive the No. 6 Ford
in place of Newman.
Roush Fenway Racing
has not revealed any
details about Newman’s
potential injuries, but
the 42-year-old Indiana
native walked out of the
hospital holding hands
with his two young
daughters less than 48
hours after an accident
that appeared fatal.
NASCAR’s last fatal
crash in the Cup Series
was Dale Earnhardt on
the last lap of the 2001
Daytona 500, and a massive safety push after
that incident has limited
serious injuries in the 19
years since. Kyle Busch
broke both his legs in a
2015 crash at Daytona,
Denny Hamlin broke
a vertebra in his lower
back in a 2013 crash
in California and Aric
Almirola broke his back
in a 2017 crash.
But they all got out of
their cars.
As did Austin Dillon,
when he was pulled out
of the window of his
overturned car after
tearing out a chunk of
fencing at Daytona. Kyle
Larson got out of his car
after it went airborne.
And so did Newman, who for his entire
19-year Cup career has
railed against the dangers of superspeedway
racing and rightfully
so — the winner of the
2008 Daytona 500 has
ﬂipped in superspeedway races several times.
He leaned on NASCAR
to add a support bar
to the cockpit today
referred to as “The New-

man bar.”
“After I tore down the
fence and walked out
immediately with nothing, I deﬁnitely feel like
these cars are the safest
things out there,” Dillon
said Friday. “But it just
goes to show you that
you can be impacted in
the wrong way and it
can be compromised.
We’re going 200 mph
around each other and
sometimes force just
overtakes what we know
is safe.”
The fears created
Monday night came
from the length of time
it took Newman to be
cut out of the car —
nearly 20 minutes —
and the two-hour wait
for information after he
was taken to a hospital.
At that point, NASCAR
said only that he had
injuries that were not life
threatening.
The not knowing was
difﬁcult for a generation
of drivers who have been
fortunate to avoid the
inherent danger of auto
racing.
“When there’s a guy
that’s getting extricated
from a car you always
fear the worst, right?”
Busch said, acknowledging the passive attitude
that has been created
in 19 years of safety
improvements.
“I think sometimes
you take it for granted,”
Busch said. “What we’re
doing, the severity of
what we’re doing, the
course of action of what
injury can happen. We’re
not invincible.”
Dillon agreed.
“You get numb to it a
little bit because people

just jump out of the
cars,” Dillon said. “You
just kind of say, ‘It’s (a
crash is) safe enough,
you’re just going to be
a little sore the next
day.’ Then, you watch
how long it took Ryan
to get out, the amount
of people it took to get
him out and the safety
workers doing their job,
it deﬁnitely makes you
think differently about
it, for sure. The ‘it can
happen.’ You never think
about that, but it’s like
man, you can actually
get hurt.”
They will race as
scheduled Sunday —
NASCAR raced seven
days after Earnhardt’s
sport-changing fatality
— and each driver will
have to process their
emotions individually.
Dillon recalled racing
a week after his 2015
crash at Daytona.
“We put ourselves
in that situation knowing what we’re getting
ourselves into,” Dillon
said. “I know that when
I went to Kentucky the
next week, I just got in
there and ran. I wasn’t
sore, I was ready. The
only thing I had done
during the week was talk
more about it. It’s part of
what we do as race car
drivers and I think that’s
why people come watch
us. We do put our lives
on the line for this stuff.
It’s engaging for the fans
to see. It’s dangerous
and that’s a part of it, it’s
a part of the sport.”
Busch, who missed
11 races as he healed
from his injuries, didn’t
have it so easy upon his
return.

AP SPORTS BRIEFS

Ohio’s first girls wrestling
state tourney this weekend
HILLIARD, Ohio (AP) — Dozens of girls from
across Ohio will compete in the ﬁrst girls wrestling
state tournament this weekend.
The Ohio High School Wrestling Coaches Association is sponsoring the tournament that will take
place Saturday and Sunday at Hilliard Davidson
High School near Columbus. There will be state
champions in each of the 14 weight classes and a
team state champion. Tournament organizers are
expecting about 260 girls from nearly 100 schools
to compete. The state meet is not an Ohio High
School Athletic Association event, but all of the
girls who are taking part must be members of their
OHSAA school’s team.

Kyle Busch races to 7th
straight Truck Series victory
LAS VEGAS (AP) — Kyle Busch extended his
NASCAR Truck Series victory record to 57 in his
hometown Friday night, leading 108 of 134 laps at

Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
The reigning NASCAR Cup Series champion
swept both stages and ﬁnished 5.958 seconds ahead
of Johnny Sauter. Busch has won seven straight
races in the series, including all ﬁve he entered last
season. Austin Hill was third, followed by defending series champion Matt Crafton and Ben Rhodes.
Grrant Enﬁnger, who opened the season with an
overtime victory at Daytona, did not ﬁnish after an
accident with 43 laps to go.
Christian Eckes was right behind Busch in the
opening two stages, but he ﬁnished 23rd after an
early ﬁnal-stage wreck.

Bjorkstrand injury is latest
blow for Blue Jackets
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Injuries to key players keep coming for the Columbus Blue Jackets,
who now have lost top goal-scorer Oliver Bjorkstrand for the rest of the season. The 24-year-old
forward fractured an ankle in Thursday night’s loss
to the Philadelphia Flyers. Bjorkstrand slid hard into
the back boards at the end of regulation and limped
off the ice. He did not play in overtime.

said of his time in Houston and Memphis. “This
is not going to be a complete turnaround of what
we’re doing offensively
and defensively. It’ll be
small changes that we
think can be helpful.”
Love, who acknowledged he could have handled some situations better playing for Beilein,
said Bickerstaff is the
ideal person to take over.
They were together for
three seasons in Minnesota.
“With any coaching
change there are going
to be different challenges, especially at
the start, just ﬁguring
out exactly what they
want,” Love said. “But
J.B. has been very vocal.
I’m fortunate to have
known him and his family my entire life and J.B.
the last 12 years from
being a rookie and him
being the guy who really
taught me the ins and
outs of the NBA.”
Bickerstaff smiled

when he was asked what
his dad told him before
his ﬁrst practice without
Beilein.
“What’s your plan?” he
said.
Bickerstaff plans to
keep things simple and
to build off what he
inherited. He feels the
season can be somewhat
salvaged.
“There’s still a lot for
us to be had in these
last 28 games,” he said.
“There’s individual
growth. There’s team
growth. There’s the ability to lay the foundation
of what we think we can
look like moving forward. It’s a great opportunity, to continue to
build camaraderie.
“When you look at
teams that are successful, there’s a continuity
with those teams. So
anytime you get a group
of guys that can be
together and play together and learn together, it’s
always helpful for you
moving forward.”

NFL putting stronger
Rooney Rule front
and center
By Barry Wilner
Associated Press

Pro football is discovering that the spirit of the
Rooney Rule is being
violated.
NFL Commissioner
Roger Goodell made that
a point of emphasis in his
state of the league speech
during Super Bowl week.
So count on Goodell ﬁnding ways to more strongly
implement the policy that
requires teams to interview minority candidates
for coaching and executive positions.
Those interviews still
have been taking place,
but, to use a word that
has taken on highly
negative connotations
but often is applied nowadays, are they simply
tokenism? Goodell recognized that could be true
when he said in January:
“Clearly, we are not
where we want to be on
this level. We have a lot of
work that’s gone into not
only the Rooney Rule but
our policies overall. It’s
clear we need to change
and do something different.”
Noting how few minorities are in coaching and
general manager jobs
right now — the only
head coaches are Ron
Rivera, Anthony Lynn,
Mike Tomlin and Brian
Flores, and the GMs are
Chris Grier and Andrew
Berry — Goodell said:
“There’s no reason to
expect we’re going to
have a different outcome
next year without those
kinds of changes and
we’ve already begun
engaging in those changes. Not just with our
diversity committee, not
just with the Fritz Pollard
Alliance, but others. And
trying to ﬁgure out what
steps we could take next
that would lead to better
outcomes.”
Adds Troy Vincent,
who oversees football
operations for the league
and is African American:
“Every club must have
a diversity action plan —
at the league and across
the clubs, it must be an
industry standard. Development of the talent pool,
which we continue to do
that at the commissioner’s
ofﬁce. There is a strong
pipeline there. And there
must be the education of
the (executive) suite to
bring more familiarity
and to foster trust.”
Two of the people

Goodell and Vincent
are likely to listen to
are Hall of Fame coach
Tony Dungy, and Steelers owner Art Rooney II,
whose father, Dan, championed the Rooney Rule.
Dungy might be the
most inﬂuential coach
in NFL history when it
comes to off-ﬁeld issues.
He’s been an adviser to
Goodell and others at the
league for years — even
while still coaching the
Colts. His voice is an
important one, as is his
view of the Rooney Rule’s
application in recent
years.
“What I think has happened is people have
said, ‘Let me interview
a minority candidate to
satisfy the rule, and then
I can get on with this hiring process or hire who
I want to,’ ” Dungy says.
“The whole point of the
rule was to slow down the
process, take your time,
get the best candidate
and make a decision. But
there’s so much pressure
now on all of them to do
it quickly, get the ‘No. 1
candidate,’ put together
a staff. Nobody wants to
take their time. That is
the major problem.”
Dungy and Vincent
believe such expedience
ignores that there is
a deep pool of accomplished candidates. Teams
aren’t diving into it.
“I get a little perturbed
when people say we got
to put more people in
the pipeline, that there
are not enough people of
color,” Dungy says. “I just
don’t see that. There are a
lot of good people.”
Vincent echoes such
thoughts, with several
caveats.
“I just think awareness
of candidates,” he says.
“Immediately I go to barriers of mobility. There’s
a double standard, which
sometimes is not discussed. We are examining
now the coaching legacy
and number of coaches
who now coaching with
sons and sons-in-law and
brothers/siblings. Those
become barriers to entry.
“We also have to look
at, are there prohibitors in contracts where
coaches being blocked
due to language in their
contracts?
“It is very difﬁcult for
men of color to progress.
They are not even in
the house, in the pool,
because of barriers of
mobility.”

Nets’ Kyrie Irving to have season-ending shoulder surgery
and you have to give him
a lot of credit for that. He
wants to be out there and
playing with his guys,”
Marks said. “But there
comes a point where you
say enough is enough
and again, it goes to longterm health. And the best
thing that (we) could do
is to shut it down and get
this taken care of once
and for all.”
Coach Kenny Atkinson
said the point guard was
still having trouble with
the shoulder that began
troubling him in October
and sidelined him for 26
games earlier this season.

Irving averaged 27.4

Marks said the Nets

before the Nets faced

“Obviously, it is difﬁcult

circumstances.”
Irving said pain in the
shoulder initially worsened after a game on Nov.

on a ﬁve-game road trip,

play until the pain got so

He got a cortisone shot

he acknowledged that
surgery might still be necessary. Irving met with a

Gilmore
Minersville Hill
Snowball
Zoar (formerlyWelshtown (S. Brown)

Assuming both are
healthy to start the 202021 season, the Nets could
become one of the top
teams in the Eastern Conference.
“We’re right on schedule and on target to put
a contender out there,”
Marks said. “That’s been
the goal all along.”
Brooklyn is still in
good position to make
the playoffs, coming out
of the break in seventh
place in the East and ﬁve
games ahead of ninthplace Washington. The
Nets have received strong
guard play from Spencer
Dinwiddie and Caris
LeVert.

“I really love the player
and feel like we had a
really good relationship.
We are in a really good
place, but obviously you
want more. More reps,
more time with him,”
Atkinson said. “But we’ll
have time in the offseason
to connect and work with
him a little bit.”
Irving missed the last
ﬁve games before the
break with a sprained
right knee. He now joins
Durant on the sideline;
the superstars signed
with the Nets together in
July. Durant has been out
all season while recovering from surgery to repair
his Achilles tendon.

PHILADELPHIA (AP)
— Kyrie Irving tried to
keep playing through
pain, a cortisone shot no
longer providing enough
relief.
Eventually, he and the
Brooklyn Nets decided
it’s best to get his right
shoulder taken care of
now and get healthy for
next season — when
Irving and Kevin Durant
can ﬁnally play together.
Irving will have
arthroscopic surgery
and miss the rest of the
season, Nets general
manager Sean Marks said
Thursday.
“Kyrie mentioned he
was playing through pain
