Briefs State police investigating shooting, armed robbery

Beth [email protected]

GALLIPOLIS FERRY — Another shooting has oc-curred in Gallipolis Ferry, though the latest victim has lived to tell the tale – a tale that ends in not only a gunshot wound but an armed robbery of around $1,900 in cash.

According to the Mason County Detachment of the West Virginia State Police, Trooper SC Allen was called to Pleasant Valley Hospital by hospital officials when Brett Allen Rogers, 25, Gallipolis Ferry, arrived at the emer-gency room with a gunshot wound on Monday.

Rogers, who lives on Crab

Creek Road, told Allen he was walking westbound on Crab Creek Road at around 6 p.m., Monday, Dec. 19 when two, white, male subjects pulled up alongside him in a red, two-door Pontiac from the early 2000’s, describing the car as either a Sunfire or Grand Am. Rogers said the subjects asked if he needed a ride and Rog-ers accepted. However, when he began to enter the vehicle, Rogers said he stopped be-cause he noticed a gun tucked behind the passenger’s back. At this time, Rogers said he declined the ride and began to walk away.

Rogers then claimed the passenger, a white male in his early 20’s, around 5’7”, 140

pounds with a goatee who was wearing a gray t-shirt and jeans, then stepped out of the car, pointed the gun at him and demanded Rogers get in the car. Rogers said he kept walking and the suspect fired a gunshot into the air. At this point, Rogers said he ran into the woods and was pursued by the suspect who fired the pistol four or five times with the last shot hitting the victim in the right arm.

Rogers said the suspect found him hiding behind a bush and stated, “Give me your money. I don’t want to kill anybody.”

Rogers said he gave the suspect around $1,900 he’d had in his pocket. The subject

returned to the vehicle that then fled the scene.

Though his immediate condition is not known, Pleas-ant Valley Hospital reported they had no patient named Brett Allen Rogers in the hos-pital on Wednesday morning.

In a press release, Sgt. EB Starcher, post commander for Mason County, said this case is an ongoing criminal inves-tigation led by Allen. Those with any information on the incident, whether anonymous or not, should call the Mason County Post at 340-675-0850.

The Point Pleasant Regis-ter will provide any updates to this case on its website and print edition as they become available.

Officers honored for saving child’s lifeBy AmBer [email protected]

GALLIPOLIS — “I think sometimes we may think that the police depart-ment or the fire department or any entity we have, be-cause we’re a small town, may not be of the caliber of perhaps a big city. I think this proves that this is incor-rect. I think we can put our fireman, our policeman up against anybody in the state of Ohio, and I think, if they don’t outshine them, they will be as good as anybody else.”

These were the words of Gallipolis City Commission President Jim Cozza stated during a special meeting of the Gallipolis City Com-mission on Tuesday eve-ning in which Lifesaving Awards were presented to

Unemployment rises in Mason County

Beth Sergent

OHIO VALLEY — Af-ter being on the decline, unemployment rates in Mason County were on the rise for November while Gallia and Meigs counties continued to see declines in those searching for work.

Mason County went from an unemployment rate of 10.7 percent in October to 11 percent in Novem-ber. However, after having the second highest unem-ployment rate in the state for several months, Mason County actually dropped to number three, behind Web-ster County at 11.4 percent and Pocahontas County at 12.3 percent – the highest in the state. In November 2010, Mason County’s un-employment rate was 13 percent.

Overall, West Virginia’s unemployment rate de-clined in November, falling two-tenths of a percentage point to 7.1 percent. There were 38 counties reporting declining unemployment rates with Monongalia hav-ing the lowest rate at 4.6 percent.

Despite a slow econo-my, unemployment rates continued to fall in both Meigs and Gallia coun-ties. Gallia County had an unemployment rate of eight percent in November, down from October’s 9.2 percent. This meant Gallia County ranked 42 out of Ohio’s 88 counties in terms of unemployment rates – in October it ranked 34.

Unemployment rates in Meigs County also con-tinued to fall, going from 12.6 percent in October to 11.3 percent in November. This meant Meigs County finally dropped out of the number two slot, in terms of the highest unemploy-ment rates in Ohio, and landed in fourth place out of 88 counties. Preceding Meigs were Scioto County with 11.5 percent, Ottawa County with 11.9 percent and Pike County with 13.9 percent – the highest in the state.

Overall, Ohio’s unem-ployment rate declined in November, going from nine percent in October to 8.5 percent. Unemploy-ment rates decreased in 85 of Ohio’s 88 counties. Mer-cer County had the lowest unemployment rate at 4.9 percent, followed by Hol-mes County with 5.2 per-cent, Delaware and Geauga counties with 5.5 percent and Medina County with 5.8 percent.

On decline in Meigs, Gallia

Patrol plans extra enforcement during the holidays

StAff report

[email protected]

GALLIPOLIS — The Gallia/Meigs Post of the Ohio State Highway Patrol will be out in full force this holiday season removing dangerous and impaired drivers in an effort to reach historic lows in the number of people killed on Ohio’s roadways in 2011. Last year fatalities increased to 1,080 over a record low of 1,022

in 2009.With the upcoming

holidays, the Patrol is ask-ing motorists to help Ohio achieve a record year by not driving impaired, buckling-up and keeping their focus on the road. During last year’s holiday reporting pe-riod of Midnight on Thurs-day, Dec. 23 through 11:59 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 26 – 14 people lost their lives on Ohio’s roadways, with four deaths alcohol-related.

“The holidays can be one

of the most dangerous times of the year due to an in-crease in impaired driving,” said Lt. Max Norris, com-mander of the Gallia/Meigs Post. “Last year during the holiday weekend, troopers arrested 226 drivers for im-paired driving.”

As part of national holi-day enforcement efforts, the Department of Public Safety’s Office of Criminal Justice Services is assisting law enforcement around the state, including OVI task

forces, in coordinating ef-forts to step-up enforcement of traffic and impaired driv-ing laws. Last year in Ohio, 39 people died in alcohol-related crashes between Thanksgiving and New Year’s.

The public is encour-aged to continue using 1-877-7-PATROL to report dangerous or impaired driv-ers, as well as stranded mo-torists.

two Gallipolis police officers.Police Captain Jeff Boyer and Patrol Of-

ficer Mike Fulks were presented the awards in recognition of their actions on the after-noon of November 9, 2011 — actions that saved the life of a child.

According to a statement read by Galli-polis Police Chief Clint Patterson on Tues-day evening, at approximately 4:12 p.m. on November 9, officers were dispatched to 845 Second Avenue to respond to what was reported as a two-year-old child that was not breathing.

Upon arrival at the scene, Patrolman

Fulks made contact with the father of the child, Ohio State Trooper Aaron Beaver. Beaver was holding his two-year-old son, Alden, in his arms after efforts to remove an airway obstruction had failed. The child was turned over to the officer and Fulks be-gan to perform life saving measures.

At that time, Captain Boyer arrived at the scene and, upon assessing the situation, made the determination that it was impera-tive for the survival of the child that he be transported immediately to a medical facil-ity as the airway obstruction was not being relieved by the actions of the officers.

Fulks passed the child to Boyer and the two quickly transported the child to meet Gallia County EMS who had been dis-patched and were en route.

While in transit, Boyer continued efforts to remove the obstruction and was able to get some air into the child’s lungs.

Soon thereafter, the officers met the am-bulance near the city limits. Boyer drove the ambulance to Holzer Medical Center where the child was treated before being transported to a Columbus-area hospital.

“Their efforts were successful as evi-denced by Alden being here today, and I’m

very proud to present these awards to these officers for their actions,” Patterson said.

Cozza echoed Patterson’s sentiments, praising the men as just two of the exem-plary officers of the Gallipolis Police De-partment.

“We are proud of you. It was probably just, ‘that’s what we do,’ but it was pretty awesome and we’re very proud of you,” he said. “We’re pleased to have people like this on our police department. I think they reflect the character, the quality of the Gal-lipolis Police Department.”

US gray wolves rebound but face uncertain future

ATLANTA, Mich. (AP) — After devoting four de-cades and tens of millions of dollars to saving the gray wolf, the federal gov-ernment wants to get out of the wolf-protection busi-ness, leaving it to individual states — and the wolves themselves — to determine the future of the legendary predator.

The Obama administra-tion Wednesday declared more than 4,000 wolves in Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin have recovered from widespread extermi-nation and will be removed from the endangered species list.

“Gray wolves are thriv-ing in the Great Lakes re-gion,” said Dan Ashe, di-rector of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

Coupled with an earlier move that lifted protections in five western states, the decision puts the gray wolf at a historical crossroads — one that could test both its reputation for resilience and the tolerance of ranchers and hunters who bemoan its at-tacks on livestock and big game.

Wolves have returned only to isolated pockets of the territory they once oc-cupied, and increasing num-bers are dying at the hands of hunters, wildlife agents and ranchers. Now, the legal shield making it a crime to gun them down is being lift-ed in the only two sections

of the lower 48 states where significant numbers exist.

State officials said they will keep wolf numbers healthy, but all three western Great Lakes states will allow wolves to be shot if they are caught assaulting farm ani-mals or pets.

“We now have the abil-ity to kill a wolf that needs killing,” said Russ Mason, Michigan’s wildlife division chief.

Hunting and trapping also could be allowed. No seasons have been set.

Some environmentalists supported the decision. Oth-ers whose lawsuits blocked previous efforts to drop Great Lakes wolves from the endangered list said they were disappointed but had not decided whether to re-turn to court.

“We believe the wolf has not recovered,” said Howard Goldman, Minnesota state director for the Humane So-ciety of the United States.

Since being declared en-dangered in 1974, the Amer-ican wolf population has grown fivefold — to about 6,200 animals wandering parts of 10 states outside Alaska.

“They are in the best po-sition they’ve been in for the past 100 years,” said David Mech, a senior scientist with the U.S. Geological Sur-vey in St. Paul, Minn., and a leading wolf expert. The animals’ long-term survival will “depend on how much

wild land remains available, because wolves are not com-patible with areas that are agricultural and have a lot of humans. There’s just too much conflict.”

Also Wednesday, the government put off a deci-sion on protections in 29 Eastern states that presently have no wolves. The Interior Department said it still was reconsidering its prior claim that wolves in those states historically were a separate species, which effectively would cancel out protections now in place.

Gray wolves in Wyoming are next in line to come off the endangered list, which is expected sometime next year. Similar actions are planned for most remaining western states and the Great Plains.

Since 1991, the federal government has spent $92.6 million on gray wolf recov-ery programs and state agen-cies have chipped in $13.9 million, according to docu-ments reviewed by The As-sociated Press.

“We are ready to declare success in those areas where wolves are now secure, turn over management respon-sibility to the states and be-gin to focus our limited re-sources on other species that are in trouble,” said Gary Frazer, assistant director for the Fish and Wildlife Ser-vice’s endangered species program.

The government plans

to continue trying to bolster a struggling Mexican gray wolf population in the desert Southwest and is weighing whether to expand protec-tions for small numbers of the animals that have slipped into the Pacific Northwest from Canada.

But there are no plans to promote their return else-where. Federal officials say it’s not the government’s job to return wolves to their previous range as long as the population is stable.

In Montana and Idaho, where wolves can be le-gally hunted and trapped, officials want to drive down wolf numbers this winter to curb attacks on farm ani-mals and elk.

Some scientists and ad-vocates say the hunts show what will happen when fed-eral safeguards are lifted elsewhere. The govern-ment, they say, is abandon-ing the recovery effort too soon, before packs can take hold in new areas. Vast, wild territories in the south-ern Rockies and Northeast are ripe for wolves but un-occupied.

Rebels fend off Miller, 59-50Bryan Walters

[email protected]

HEMLOCK, Ohio — A 29-18 surge over the middle quarters and some clutch free throw shooting down the stretch ultimately allowed the South Galia boys basketball team to sneak away Tuesday night with a 59-50 vic-tory over host Miller in a Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division matchup in Perry County.

The visiting Rebels (3-1, 3-1 TVC Hocking) fell behind 14-7 after eight minutes of play, but SGHS rallied with a 13-9 run in the second canto to pull within 23-20 at the intermission. The Falcons (1-2, 1-2) were outscored 16-9 in the third period, allowing South Gal-lia to take a 36-32 edge into the finale.

The Rebels sank 9-of-12 free throw attempts in the fourth quarter, which helped the guests complete a 23-18 run down the stretch to secure the nine-point triumph.

South Gallia connected on 19-of-

53 field goal attempts for 36 percent, including a 4-of-19 effort from three-point territory for 21 percent. SGHS also had team totals of 37 rebounds and 26 turnovers, two more miscues than the hosts’ tally of 24 giveaways.

Cory Haner led the guests with 15 points, followed by John Johnston with 14 points and Danny Matney with 10 markers. Dalton Matney and Levi El-lis added respective totals of nine and eight points, while David Michael rounded out the scoring with three markers.

The Rebels were 17-of-22 at the free throw line for 77 percent. Ellis had team-bests of 10 rebounds and six as-sists, while Haner added a game-high nine steals. Danny Matney was also 7-of-8 at the free throw line in the fourth quarter.

Trent Abram led the Falcons and all scorers with 26 points, but only four of those markers came in the middle quar-ters. Chase Glenaman and Skylar Hook added seven and six points, respective-

ly, for the hosts. MHS was 4-of-11 at the charity stripe for 36 percent.

South Gallia returns to action Friday when it hosts Symmes Valley in a non-conference matchup at 6 p.m.

Herd charges past FIU in Beef ‘O’ Brady’s Bowl, 20-10

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Florida Internation-al coach Mario Cristobal ex-pected special teams would be the deciding factor in his team’s final game of the sea-son. Turns out it was a key factor in a tough defeat.

A blocked punt midway through the fourth quarter set up Marshall’s go-ahead field goal and Rakeem Cato threw for 226 yards and two touchdowns to help the Thundering Herd beat Flori-da International 20-10 in the Beef ‘O’ Brady’s Bowl on Tuesday night.

Cato threw TD passes of 31 and 35 yards to Aaron Dobson, the latter putting the game away in the clos-ing seconds. Warner’s 39-yard field goal set up by a blocked punt snapped a 10-10 with 5:16 remaining.

“When a game is tough like that, and it’s real tight like that, special teams be-come a critical part of it,” Cristobal said. “Certainly, they made the play on spe-cial teams that changed the game a lot to get a field goal with a blocked punt. At the end, of course, the extra sev-en points is what made it the final score, but those three points were critical.”

Marshall (7-6) overcame a slow start to win five of its last seven games and avoid a losing record in its second season under coach Doc Holliday.

FIU (8-5) was denied a school-record ninth victory and there was speculation that Cristobal may be a lead-ing candidate to fill a job opening at Pittsburgh.

Cato, a freshman from Miami who is one of 28 players on Marshall’s roster recruited from the state of Florida, completed 27 of 39 passes and was intercepted once. Dobson had seven receptions for 81 yards, including a TD catch that wiped out a 10-3 FIU lead just before halftime.

All-purpose threat T.Y. Hilton scored on a 2-yard run for FIU, which also got a 46-yard field goal from Jack Griffin. Hilton had eight catches for 88 yards,

CENTENARY, Ohio — The Gallia Academy boys basketball team had its two-game winning streak come to an end Tuesday night during a 40-21 set-back to visiting Jackson in a Southeastern Ohio Athletic League matchup in Gallia County.

The Blue Devils (3-5, 1-2 SEOAL) managed just 24 shots in the contest and had as many turnovers (11) as points at halftime, as the Ironmen (3-3, 1-2) held the hosts under double digits in each of the four quarters played.

Jimmy Clagg gave GAHS led 2-0 just 39 sec-onds into regulation, but Tyler Neal answered with trifecta at the 6:48 mark to give Jackson a lead it would never surrender the rest of the way. Colt Chapman scored the next six points to give JHS a 9-2 edge at the 3:48 mark, but the hosts countered with a small 6-4 run over the final 3:04 for a 13-8 contest after one quar-ter of play.

Chapman — who scored 10 points in the opening canto — was sidelined with foul trouble early in the sec-ond period, and GAHS an-swered with a small 3-2 run to pull within 15-11 with 4:24 left in the half. Gal-lia Academy never came closer the rest of the way, as

the Ironmen closed the half with an 8-0 run for a 23-11 intermission advantage.

The Blue Devils twice pulled to within 10 points at 23-13 and 25-15, but JHS closed the final 4:15 of the third quarter with a 9-0 surge to take a com-manding 34-15 lead into the finale. Both teams traded six points apiece down the stretch, but the hosts never came closer than the final

19-point margin.Gallia Academy con-

nected on just 8-of-24 field goal attempts for 33 per-cent while hauling in 19 re-bounds and committing 18 turnovers. The Blue Devils were also 5-of-6 at the free throw line for 83 percent.

Jimmy Clagg led the hosts with 16 points, fol-lowed by Reid Eastman and Justin Bailey with two markers each. Joel Johnston

rounded out the scoring with one point.

Jackson made 14-of-37 field goal attempts for 38 percent while pulling down 17 rebounds and commit-ting seven turnovers. The Ironmen were also 9-of-14 at the charity stripe for 65 percent.

Chapman poured in a game-high 24 points, fol-lowed by Tyler Neal with

Vikings outlast River Valley, 45-38


McARTHUR, Ohio — The River Valley boys basketball team dropped its third straight decision Tuesday night during a 45-38 setback to host Vinton County in a non-conference matchup.

The visiting Raiders (1-5) shot just 31 percent from the field while committing 24 turnovers, which helped the Vikings (4-1) cruise to their fourth straight victory. VCHS never trailed in the contest and, like the Raiders, hauled in 32 rebounds in the contest.

Vinton County — which committed 18 turnovers — stormed out to a 10-2 lead af-ter eight minutes of play, but RVHS answered with a 10-7 spurt in the second canto for a 17-12 deficit at the intermis-sion.

The Vikings erupted with a 19-4 charge in the third canto for a comfortable 36-16 cush-ion headed into the finale, but the guests countered with a 22-9 surge down the stretch to wrap up the seven-point deci-sion.

River Valley was 15-of-48 from the field overall, includ-ing a 3-of-14 effort from three-point range for 21 percent. The guests were also 5-of-6 at the free throw line for 83 percent.

Austin Lewis led the Raid-ers with 12 points, followed by Ethan Dovenbarger with nine points and Derek Flint with eight markers. Joseph Loyd added five points, while Trey Noble and Aaron Harrison rounded out the scoring with two markers each. Lewis also posted a double-double with 10 rebounds.

Bryce Owings led VCHS with a game-high 13 points, followed by Ryan Chesser and Jordan Kidd with nine markers apiece. The Vikings were 8-of-15 at the charity stripe for 53 percent.

River Valley returns to action Wednesday, Dec. 28, when it travels to Athens County for a non-conference matchup with Nelsonville-York at 6 p.m.

TUPPERS PLAINS, Ohio — It’s never over until it’s over.

The Eastern boys basket-ball team erased a 12-point halftime deficit with a 47-27 surge over the final two periods Tuesday night to claim a 63-55 victory over

visiting Southern in a Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division matchup at the Ea-gles’ Nest in Meigs County.

The Eagles (4-1, 2-1 TVC Hocking) handed the Tornadoes (4-1, 3-1) their first loss of the season in dramatic fashion, as the hosts dug out of a 28-16 hole over the final 16 min-utes of regulation. SHS led 7-6 after eight minutes

of play, then used a 21-10 charge in the second canto to establish a 12-point half-time advantage.

EHS started its come-back in the third canto, go-ing on a 15-10 run to pull within 38-31 headed into the finale. The Eagles then went on an improbable 32-17 charge in the fourth, which allowed the hosts to double their point total

while claiming the eight-point triumph.

Eastern connected on 20-of-37 field goal attempts for 54 percent, including a 3-of-6 effort from three-point range for 50 percent. The hosts also had 37 re-bounds and 16 turnovers to go along with a 9-of-13 effort at the free throw line

It was the first game back for GAHS graduate and current Jackson head coach Heath McKinniss after serv-ing a five-game suspension handed down by the school for a preseason incident.

ran for 22 yards on three carries and returned two kickoffs for 36 yards, but quarterback Wesley Carroll had difficulty getting the ball to him in open space in the second half.

“It hurts a lot. I was try-ing to go out with a bang,” Hilton said. “Unfortunately it didn’t happen tonight. I just played to make plays. I came up short for the pro-gram tonight. I wish I could have did more, we just ran out of time.”

Carroll was 19 of 29 passing for 150 yards.

Marshall struggled early against a tough schedule, losing in September to West Virginia, Ohio and Virginia Tech before regrouping late to win four of six down the stretch to become bowl eli-gible and finish second be-hind Southern Mississippi in the Conference USA East Division standings.

FIU is a relative new-

comer to the Football Bowl Subdivision. The Panthers launched their program in 2002, joined the Sun Belt Conference in 2005 and has made steady progress in five seasons under Cristob-al, who led the school to its first Sun Belt championship a year ago.

“The program has come a long ways,” Hilton said. “Look where we’re at now. With eight wins, it means a lot.”

Hilton has been a big part of that success, setting FIU and Sun Belt records for career receiving and all-purpose yards. The senior from Miami caught a TD pass and scored on an 89-yard kickoff return to help the Panthers beat Toledo in last year’s Little Caesars Bowl, and FIU showcased his versatility early against Marshall.

The 5-foot-10, 185-pound receiver took a

handoff on FIU’s first play from scrimmage and ran for 20 yards before fumbling 5 yards backward. He had a 17-yard reception on the next play, then later in the opening quarter gained 14 yards on a catch-and-run to the Marshall 2.

Hilton scored his first rushing touchdown of the season on the next play, giving the Panthers a 7-3 lead.

“This young man is the best I’ve ever been around,” Cristobal said. “So many times he’s done a great job putting the team on his back. He was the face of the program. He will be missed, dearly. We’re going to have fun watching him on Sundays.”

Marshall punter Kase Whitehead averaged 40.1 yards on seven punts, and his high kicks never gave the explosive Hilton a chance for a return.

“Their punter is a great punter,” Hilton said. “They did a great job covering that. They forced me to play catch.”

Marshall answered Jack Griffin’s 46-yard field goal that put FIU up 10-3 with a six-play, 55-yard drive that Cato finished with his 31-yard TD pass to Aaron Dobson to make it 10-10 with 23 seconds left in the first half.

Neither team was able to generate much offense in the third and fourth quar-ters. Zach Dunston blocked a punt to set up Warner’s go-ahead field goal, and Cato began the clinching drive from his own 40 after FIU fumbled.

FIU linebacker Jordan Hunt had 13 solo tackles and one sack.

past Raiders, 81-47Bryan Walters

[email protected]

SPENCER, W.Va. — A good start led to a great fin-ish for the Point Pleasant boys basketball team Tues-day night during an 81-47 non-conference victory over host Roane County.

The Big Blacks (3-0) had nine players reach the scoring column and never trailed in the contest, as the guests stormed out to an 18-7 advantage after eight minutes of play. The Raid-ers (2-2) never came closer the rest of the way, as PPHS went on a 22-5 surge in the second canto for a comfort-able 40-12 cushion at the intermission.

Point Pleasant kept that momentum going in the second half, as the guests went on a 24-10 run in the third canto for a sizable 64-22 edge headed into the fi-nale. RCHS answered with a small 20-17 spurt down the stretch to wrap up the 34-point decision.

The Big Blacks hit nine trifectas and also went a perfect 8-for-8 at the free throw line in the triumph, led by Dillon McCarty with a game-high 23 points — all of which came in the first three periods. Wade Martin was next with 19 points, fol-lowed by Alex Somerville with 11 markers.

Jacob Wamsley and Andrew Williamson both chipped in eight points apiece, whileGarrett Norris added four markers. Caleb Riffle and Marquez Grif-fin each contributed three

points, and Nate Chapman rounded out the winning score with two markers.

Willie Bowman paced Roane County with 15 points, followed by Hunter Bradley with nine points and Jacob Neal with seven markers. RCHS was 11-of-20 at the charity stripe for 55 percent.

Point Pleasant returns to action Friday when it trav-els to Poca for a Cardinal Conference matchup at 6 p.m.

Buffalo fends off White Falcons, 71-68


BUFFALO, W.Va. — The Wahama boys bas-ketball team saved its best for last, but that effort still wasn’t enough Tuesday night during a 71-68 set-back to host Buffalo in a non-conference matchup in Putnam County.

The visiting White Fal-cons (1-3) rallied from a 10-point third quarter deficit to knot things up at 68 with a minute left in regulation, but the Bison (4-1) came up with a small 3-0 spurt over the final 60 seconds to wrap up a contested one-posses-sion decision.

Trailing 70-68 with seven seconds left, Isaac Lee drove the lane and made what appeared to be a game-tying basket while being fouled. The officials, however, called Lee for a player-control foul, which nullified the basket and gave BHS possession.

Buffalo was fouled on the ensuing possession, and the Bison sank 1-of-2 free throws to make it a 71-68 contest with four seconds left. Wahama missed its game-tying opportunity in the waning moments, which led to the Falcons’ second straight setback.

Buffalo jumped out to a small 12-11 lead after eight minutes of play, then used a 24-16 surge in the second canto to take a 36-27 in-termission advantage. The hosts also went on a small 19-18 run in the third to take a 55-45 edge into the finale.

WHS outscored the Bi-son 23-13 over the open-ing seven minutes down the stretch, but Buffalo man-aged to hold on. The guests outrebounded BHS by a 40-27 margin, but Buffalo also made nine trifectas in the

decision.Lee led Wahama with 28

points, followed by Hunter Oliver with 15 points and Wyatt Zuspan with 12 markers. Jacob Ortiz and Austin Jordan chipped in respective totals of six and five points, while Tyler Roush rounded out the scor-ing with two markers.

The White Falcons committed 18 turnovers and were also 12-of-20 at the free throw line for 60 percent. Oliver and Ortiz hauled in 11 rebounds each in the setback.

Levi Jordan paced the hosts and all scorers with 37 points, followed by Alex Ferrari with 14 and Isaiah Robinson with six markers. Buffalo was 12-of-16 at the charity stripe for 75 percent and also committed 17 turn-overs. Jordan also recorded a double-double with 10 re-bounds.

Wahama returns to ac-tion Friday when it hosts Meigs in a non-conference tripleheader at 5 p.m.

RedStorm men rally past Algoma, 76-74Randy PaytonSpecial to oVp

SOUTH EUCLID, Ohio – Ju-nior center Dominick Haynes’ la-yup with less than two minutes re-maining helped the University of Rio Grande erase a 15-point sec-ond half deficit and the RedStorm held on the closing seconds for a 76-74 win over Algoma Universi-ty in the final game of the Comfort Inn Holiday Classic, Monday af-ternoon, at Notre Dame College’s Murphy Gymnasium.

By virtue of its two-game weekend sweep, Rio Grande im-proved its overall mark to 7-5 and surpassed the five-win mark the RedStorm had totaled in each of the previous two seasons.

“I feel good for these guys, es-pecially for (seniors) Brad (Cub-bie) and Shaun (Gunnell), because it’s got to give them confidence,” said Rio Grande head coach Ken French. “I think one of our biggest problems – the main reason we’re up-and-down – is confidence. We needed something to feel good about and, hopefully, this is it.”

Monday’s victory required a great deal of effort, though.

Algoma, which made a nearly nine-hour treak south from Ma-

rie, Ontario to play in the Clas-sic, stretched its 10-point halftime lead to 15 points, 50-35, follow-ing a three-pointer by Dele Oworu with 17:45 left in the contest, but the RedStorm began a methodical comeback march and eventually drew even at 73-73 on a conven-tional three-point play by junior forward Turrell Morris with 2:42 left to play.

The Thunderbirds (6-5) went back in front just seven seconds later when Oworu hit one of two free throw attempts, but Haynes split a pair of defenders and canned a driving lay-in off the glass with 1:31 remaining put Rio Grande ahead to stay.

Gunnell, a 6-foot-4 forward from Columbus, Ohio, then con-nected on one of two free throws with 9.5 seconds left to stretch Rio’s lead to two points, but the RedStorm had to sweat out a would-be game-winning three-point attempt at the buzzer by Al-goma’s Jonathan Gordon – a shot that bounded off the front of the iron – before emerging victorious.

“Hopefully, this will be mo-mentum-building,” French said. “We told them at the half that, in order to win the game, we were going to have to grind it out. I

thought our guys showed a lot – and I mean a lot – of courage and passion in the second half. We had guys diving on the floor and we fought and battled. I know we got down by 15, but I just felt like we were going to win the game – I re-ally did – just because the break-downs we had offensively were our own fault. It all came down to whether we were going to guard them, but we sucked it up, ground it out one possession at a time and got it done.”

Rio Grande led throughout most of the first half, but the Thunderbirds used a 12-1 run over the final 3:15 of the stanza to open up a 44-34 advantage at the intermission.

“I thought the last four or five minutes of the first half that we re-ally got out of our system,” said French. “We took some bad shots and, though I hate to say this and as a coach you can’t stand it when it happens, we have some guys that when we don’t see the ball go in the hole, it affects us on the defensive end, too. We took some bad shots, we missed some bad shots and, in turn, they ended up getting some open looks because of our defense and they knocked them down.”

Oworu, who had a pair of three-pointers and a free throw in the run to close the first half for Algoma, added a short jumper and another trifecta to pace a 7-2 run by the Thunderbirds after the break, producing the 15-point lead.

Rio Grande began the road back by reeling off 11 of the next 13 points and pulled to within 52-46 after a pair of free throws by Gunnell with 14:51 remain-ing. After Algoma stretched its cushion back to as many as nine points, a short jumper by Gunnell with 9:17 left closed the gap to 61-56.

Again, the Thunderbirds pushed their lead back to nine before a three-pointer by senior guard Darriel Hunter and a layup by Gunnell made it 65-61 with 8:01 left.

Algoma quickly extended its advantage to eight points and maintained the same margin – 71-63 – following a runner by Javain Wilson with 5:43 remain-ing, before Morris’ old-fashioned three-point play capped a 10-2 run which tied the game at 73-all and set up the dramatic finish.

Gunnell led Rio Grande with 23 points and 14 rebounds, while

Haynes netted 20 points – 14 of which came in the second half comeback.

“Both of them played well,” said French. “I challenged them before the game because I thought we were better at the four (power forward) and five (center) and we wanted to attack them at both of those spots. It wasn’t pretty at times, but I don’t care. Algoma’s a good team – a Mid-South Con-ference-caliber team to be quite honest – but we came together and got the win.”

Morris added 15 points and 13 rebounds in the winning ef-fort for the RedStorm, which shot 48.4 percent from the field in the second half (15-for-31) and out-rebounded the Thunderbirds 32-13 after the intermission.

Rio Grande finished with a 54-39 edge in rebounding.

Oworu led Algoma with a game-high 32 points and a team-high 13 rebounds, while Wilson finished with 18 points and Brett Zufelt netted 12.

Rio Grande returns to action Dec. 29 when Houghton (N.Y.) College comes to Newt Oliver Arena.

Sullinger leads No. 2 Ohio State over Lamar, 70-50COLUMBUS, Ohio

(AP) — Jared Sullinger felt he needed to play, even if he wasn’t 100 percent.

Whatever that percent-age was, it was still pretty good.

Sullinger bounced back from his latest injury to score 18 points and grab 11 rebounds, leading No. 2 Ohio State past Lamar 70-50 on Tuesday night.

“It’s life. You don’t go through a career in basket-ball injury-free,” the 6-foot-9 sophomore said. “Fortu-nately, it’s now instead of life.”

The most important stat was that he played 30 min-

utes.“I missed too much,” he

said of his recent minutes lost due to physical ail-ments. “The back spasms and now the foot, I’ve got to get back into the routine. I can’t really sit here and wait for it to heal up. By that time, I won’t have my timing down on plays, de-fensively or offensively. So I had to get back as soon as possible.”

Coach Thad Matta said it was essential for Sullinger to get back on the court. He said any absence, but par-ticularly that of your best player, adds to the trials of being a coach.

“It does because you’re not in full force. It’s the unknown is this guy going to play, is he going to prac-tice, how good is he if he does,” Matta said. “Without question those are some of the things that play into it. Hopefully now we’re get-ting him back and we can continue to see the improve-ment on a daily basis.”

Deshaun Thomas, cho-sen as the Big Ten’s player of the week on Monday, added 16 points for the Buckeyes (11-1). His streak of making 17 consecutive two-point field goal at-tempts ended on his first shot of the game.

Devon Lamb and Stan Brown each had 10 points for Lamar (8-4), which had a four-game winning streak come to an end. The Cardi-nals’ record against Big Ten teams dropped to 1-5.

The Cardinals were 0 for 12 on 3-point shots, mark-ing the first time an Ohio State opponent didn’t hit a 3 in 621 games, dating to 1992.

“We can’t shoot 3s,” La-mar coach Pat Knight said. “That was their goal last year, to shoot a lot of them. At halftime I told them they couldn’t shoot a 3 until they made four passes.”

The Buckeyes had

played three of their last four games without Sull-inger healthy. The All-America missed two games with back spasms including Ohio State’s only loss, a 78-67 setback at No. 13 Kan-sas on Dec. 10 and all but 6 minutes of Saturday’s 74-66 win at South Carolina with an ankle injury.

But he warmed up with-out any obvious discomfort, was in the starting lineup and picked up his sixth dou-ble-double of the season.

It was important that Sullinger get back in con-dition and play a lot, Matta said.

“Truth be told, he hasn’t

done anything for three weeks,” he said. “That’s hard in the middle of the season. So as he talks about his rhythm and timing, those are areas you can only get through playing games and high-level practicing.”

The win was Ohio State’s 32nd straight at home, ex-tending the second-longest streak in school history.

Pat Knight’s father, Hall of Fame coach Bob Knight, was honored at halftime with an alumni award. A 1962 graduate of Ohio State, he was a member of the 1960 team that won the school’s only national championship.

Baylor’s Griffin is AP player of the yearWACO, Texas (AP) — Robert Griffin III

played football for years simply because he was good at it.

Then Baylor’s exciting dual-threat quar-terback tore the ACL in his right knee and missed the last nine games of the 2009 season. While stuck on the sideline watch-ing, he realized just how much he loved the game.

“After a knee injury like that, a lot of times you see guys come back and it’s not the same,” Griffin said. “So I didn’t want that to be attached to me, great player, got hurt, never was the same. … My goal was to come back better, not only for myself, but for my teammates.”

Goal accomplished for Griffin, who ex-celed while raising Baylor out of the Big 12

basement.Already the winner of the Heisman Tro-

phy and Davey O’Brien Award, Griffin won AP Player of the Year on Wednesday.

The aspiring lawyer, who arrived at Baylor nearly four years ago as a 17-year-kid after graduating high school early, is the nation’s most efficient passer this sea-son, throwing for 3,998 yards with a Big 12-leading 36 touchdowns and only six in-terceptions. He also ran for 644 yards and nine more scores.

Baylor (9-3) has a five-game winning streak, its longest in 20 years, going into the Alamo Bowl next week. With a win over Washington, the 15th-ranked Bears would match the school record of 10 wins set during Mike Singletary’s senior season

in 1980.In his comeback from injury last year,

after getting a medical redshirt that means he’s now a fourth-year junior, Griffin helped lead the Bears to their first Top 25 ranking since 1993 and their first bowl game in the Big 12 era. Baylor hadn’t even had a win-ning season in the first 14 Big 12 seasons.

That year on the sideline was the tough-est for Griffin and the Bears, who went from big expectations to another losing re-cord without their star quarterback.

“You miss out making plays and doing great things,” Griffin said. “I missed play-ing, I missed practicing, but you really just miss your teammates.”

By time Griffin played his first game for the Bears in 2008, when at 18 he was

the nation’s youngest FBS starting quarter-back, he was already a Big 12 champion and NCAA All-American in the 400-meter hurdles. He set an FBS record by throwing 209 passes to start his career before his first interception.

Griffin passed for 2,091 yards and 15 TDs with 843 yards and 13 more scores rushing as a freshman. But then he got hurt on the opening series of the third game of his sophomore season. He finished the first half of that game against Northwest-ern State on a gimpy leg, throwing for 226 yards and three touchdowns to push the Bears ahead 41-10.

Today’s Answers

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday, Dec. 22, 2011:

You might remind others of a cat with nine lives this year. Don’t push Lady Luck too far. An element of excitement also runs riot in your next year. Flex, detach and maintain a sense of humor. Stay grounded and realistic. If you are single, you could meet someone very important to your life’s history. After this year, look at this tie more seriously. If you are attached, the two of you really care about each other. Domestically, one element could shake up the status quo. SAGITTARIUS makes a great doctor for you!
