Morgantown pastor talks community involvement PRSSA fashion show benefits Mountaineer Boys and Girls Club by john mark shaver staff writer @johnmarkshaver

Across the hall from his office, Mike Hadaway sat on a couch, recalling the events that led him to where he is today.

Born in 1970 in the suburbs of Washington D.C., he struggled early in life with dyslexia and poor hand-eye coordination.

“It’s very difficult to be a male who cannot catch a ball and cannot read (well), so I had those issues growing up,” Hadaway said. “The church was the only place I felt comfortable.”

Despite his early disadvantages, Hadaway now sits as rector of the Trinity Episcopal Church in downtown Morgantown, where he feels comfortable knowing he’ll be until his resignation.

Hadaway graduated from Salisbury University in 1993 with degrees in history and philosophy before returning to Washington D.C. to work at the newly-built Holocaust Museum.

“We were supposed to get a million (visitors in the first year), and we ended up with about 2.5 million ,” Hadaway said.

“I was supposed to be working in history, but what I ended up doing was crowd control and getting 2.5 million people

in a space designed for a million over a year.”

After spending more than four years there, Hadaway went to the Virginia Theological Seminary for three years, studying to be an Episcopalian rector. There he met a woman—Elizabeth—who would later become his wife.

Since 2000, Hadaway has been a rector at two separate churches before he came to Morgantown in 2010.

“I wanted to be in a college town,” Hadaway said.

“It was just a very clear sense to my wife, and I that this was the place for us.”

While Hadaway enjoys his work at the Trinity Episcopal Church, which is located across the street from BB&T downtown, he said it has its advantages and disadvantages.

While the church experiences limited parking, Hadaway said they also are close to a lot of the University’s youth, whose attendance has its own pros and cons.

“Thirty years ago, this church actually had a very, very vibrant college ministry and almost went broke,” he said. “You might have a couple hundred college students in church, but how much do they put in the (offering)

Black, Latino students reflect on cultural commonalities, differences

by john mark shaver staff writer @johnmarkshaver

Last night, a diverse group of students and professionals talked about relationships between black and Latino people in the United States.

“How do black people and Latino people feel about each other in this society?” asked Marjorie Fuller, director of the Center for Black Culture and Research to open the conversation. “Do we have solidarity? Do we need solidarity? ...Is there more we can do to support one another?”

The panel, entitled “Black & Brown: In Search of Solidarity for Black and Latino People” took place in the Greenbrier Room in the Mountainlair, giving both the panel and audience the opportunity to express their feelings and concerns on the issue.

An early discussion point in the night was the differences between the two groups and the experiences that come with

those differences.

“I went to a high school that was predominantly Latino,” said Al-Rasheed Benton, a junior journalism student. “When a situation came up like Black History Month, we never really did much about it. They’d hop on the intercom and throw a famous African American out there and that’s all they do, but when Latino Heritage Month came along, they had performances every week and stuff like that… You get that feeling of us against them.”

The group discussed the perceived competition between black and Latino people at length before senior graphic design student Nana Twum Agyire, whose parents came to America from Ghana, spoke about each group’s comfort level.

“As humans, we always want to be close to people who are like us,” Agyire said. “It doesn’t matter what race you are… Where is (my father) most comfortable?

Student by day, model by night: that was the case for eight girls at West Virginia University Monday evening.

The WVU chapter of the Public Relations Student Society of America hosted their seventh annual PRSSA Fashion Show, with all proceeds benefiting the Mountaineer Boys and Girls Club.

“I just think its such a great organization to raise money for, and I think the whole fashion show thing is really fun aspect and a great way to raise money that is also fun at the same time,” said Alexis Farmer, a sophomore strategic communications student.

“I just did it for the Boys and Girls Club, I think it’s a great organization to raise money for.”

Each Panhellenic sorority on campus was notified a month ago about the event, and one girl from each chapter was selected to participate.

Even though only sororities were in the fashion show this year, Hannah Cebula, the director of the event says she would like to see more peo-

ple get involved and make this event bigger.

“We’ve tried to involve Greek life a little more, I’d really like to add the fraternities in,” Cebula said. “As of right now, there’s not a lot of boutiques that cater to menswear, but we’ve been trying to reach out this year.”

Cebula said the more people who get involved, the more money can be donated to the Boys and Girls Club. “(The show) is a way for us to give back to the community, it’s a way for us to give back to the Boys and Girls Club,” Cebula said. “I definitely think if you are staying in a community, (and) if we have Morgantown who is hosting us for the four, five, six years we are staying here, I think its important to give back to the residents who are living here who help us with so much. This is a way for us to say, ‘thank you.’”

Also in attendance at the fashion show were representatives from different clubs and businesses in the Morgantown area, including The Domain Towne Center, the Fashion Business Association and representatives

Who’s an outsider? GOP establishment fears loss of standing WASHINGTON (AP)—Republican leaders in Washington have spent years casting tea party allies and hardliners in Congress as merely a restive minority, a fringe element to be tolerated.

Now, with Donald Trump and Ted Cruz rising to the top of the 2016 GOP presidential primary, those party leaders are confronting the possibility that they may be the outliers.

One by one, Washington’s favored candidates have dropped out of the White House race. Those who are left - Marco Rubio and John Kasich - face long odds and sudden-death primaries in their home states next week. In private conversations and public newspaper editorials, talk of a historic splintering of the GOP centers on the prospect of the establishment, not the insurgents, dissolving or breaking away.

“Something important is ending. It is hard to believe what replaces it will be better,” Peggy Noonan, a speechwriter for Ronald Reagan, wrote in a Wall Street Journal column.

Republicans have long grappled with a divide between party leaders and grass-roots supporters. Recent presidential elections papered over the fissures rather than resolved them, with Republicans sending centrist candidates John McCain and Mitt Romney into the general election even as the GOP electorate became more conservative.

Leaders expected the 2016 election to follow the same pattern. Money flowed toward former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, the son and brother of presidents, who seemed to embody

the spirit of inclusiveness GOP leaders called for after Romney’s staggering lack of success with minority voters in 2012. Even when Trump shook up the race last summer, more traditional Republicans confidently predicted his appeal would be short-lived.

But Trump has maintained his grip on the GOP field, with Cruz emerging as his strongest competitor.

As establishment favorites like Bush have dropped out, Trump and Cruz’s share of the vote has increased. In a diverse array of states, from Maine to Georgia to Nevada, they’ve carried more than 60 percent.

“It’s a weird election year,” said Trent Lott, the former Mississippi senator who is backing Kasich. “Depending on how this election turns out, the party may be different.”

To some Republicans, that would be welcome.

“For the party to fix itself, you need to destroy the establishment lane,” said Michael Needham, head of Heritage Action, a conservative advocacy group that has pushed for ideological purity among GOP elected officials. “The party that we’ll see 10 years from now is going to share a lot of Trump’s willingness to speak truth to power, to not be cowed by political correctness.”

Trump’s rise in particular has sparked discussions among Washington Republicans about blocking the real estate mogul in a contested convention or perhaps rallying around a third-party candidate who could keep him from the White House.

Bloomberg decides against third-party bid for White House

NEW YORK (AP)—Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg said Monday that he will not run for president, citing a concern that his independent bid would hand the White House to Donald Trump or Ted Cruz.

The billionaire, who has spent months mulling a third-party run that would have roiled this year’s already extraordinarily unpredictable presidential campaign, made his decision official through an editorial posted on the Bloomberg View website.

Bloomberg, in ending his third and likely final flirtation with a White House run, wrote that a three-way race could lead to no one winning a majority of electoral votes, which would send the race to the Republican-controlled House of Representatives - and, therefore, to one of the GOP front-runners.

“That is not a risk I can take in good conscience,”

Bloomberg wrote.

Bloomberg was blistering in his critique of Trump, currently the GOP frontrunner, saying the real estate mogul has run “the most divisive and demagogic presidential campaign I can remember, preying on people’s prejudices and fears.”

He was similarly critical of Cruz, saying the Texas senator’s “pandering on immigration may lack Trump’s rhetorical excess, but it is no less extreme.”

Bloomberg acknowledged that he and Trump had been on “friendly terms” and that he had twice agreed to be on Trump’s reality TV show “The Apprentice.” But the former mayor said Trump’s campaign “appeals to our worst impulses.”

“We cannot ‘make America great again’ by turning our backs on the values that made us the world’s greatest nation in the first place,” Bloomberg wrote. “I love our country too much to

pressed the importance of discussions like these, saying academic discussion can help change the community.

In the end, the room agreed talking to each other can only push progress so far, and the real work is outside of discussions like these.

“You are tasked to really educate (other) people,” said Courtney Newkirk, graduate assistant for the CBC&R and panel member. “We can no longer just sit here and talk about the change. We have to be the change. There is no other option. You have to do what you have to do.”

The CBC&R’s next and final event of the semester will be the “Carter G. Woodson Black Graduates Awards Ceremony and Celebration” on April 21 at the WVU Erikson Alumni Center.

The last half of the panel discussion focused on the two groups coming together working to solve problems.

“We need a different voice,” said Constinia Charbonnette, program director for Graduate Fellowship and Life and panel member, “We need someone who can be brutally honest about how they are seeing the world, and not condemn them for it.

Bloomberg made only an oblique reference to Democrats Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders and did not endorse a candidate. His aides indicated that Bloomberg may at some point offer an endorsement and use his wealth to try to influence the race, but cautioned that no decisions had been made.

The former three-term mayor - who had indicated he would spend $1 billion of his own money on the campaign - had set a midMarch deadline for his team of advisers to assess the feasibility of mounting a run, believing that waiting longer would imperil his ability to complete the petition process needed to get on the ballots in all 50 states.

He had taken some ini-

tial steps, cutting a mock TV ad, preparing to open campaign offices in Texas and North Carolina - states with early ballot access deadlines - and having aides begin to vet possible vice presidential candidates, including Michael Mullen, the retired admiral and former head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Aides to Bloomberg, the 74-year-old Democrat-turned-Republicanturned-Democrat-turnedindependent, believed the dominance of Trump among Republicans and the rise of Sanders amid Democrats had opened a centrist lane for a non-ideological, pragmatic campaign.

Their own polling suggested Bloomberg had a viable path to the needed 270 electoral votes if Trump and Sanders were the nominees, though that projection included some remarkably optimistic predictions for Bloomberg, including winning Tennessee and Georgia and tying Sanders in

the senator’s home state of Vermont.

But as Clinton racked off a string of recent victories, Bloomberg - known largely outside New York for his crusades against guns and Big Soda, positions likely unpopular with Republicans nationwide - grew worried that he would siphon more support from her than Trump, ensuring that part of the mayor’s carefully managed legacy would be that he helped give Trump the White House.

If Clinton won the Democratic nomination, Bloomberg’s aides believed he had enough support to send the race to the House - but not to win there.

Clinton said Monday during a town hall in Detroit that she had “the greatest respect for Michael Bloomberg” and that she looked “forward to continuing to work with him.”

Sanders, meanwhile, said it was Bloomberg’s decision but he was concerned “on

Through thick and thin, Hadaway is happy where he is and wouldn’t have it any other way.

editorial

Using footage to stop future addicts A man lies on his back on a bare mattress. His face is turning blue, and paramedics say he’s only breathing twice per minute. A needle lies close to his body.

This is the scene one emergency medical technician captured on film through the use of a body camera while responding to an overdose call in Barboursville, West Virginia. After finding the needle, the camera shows paramedics administering a dose of Narcan, which reverses the effects of a heroin overdose. In minutes, the man is able to stand and talk.

It’s no secret heroin is a major problem in West Virginia. Every month, it seems the state’s drug epidemic climbs to even newer heights. In Cabell County alone, local hospitals treated more than 900 overdoses in 2015 that resulted in 70 deaths. In total, West Virginia has the highest number of overdoses in the country.

schlosserandpritchettlaw.com

Heroin killed at least 70 people in Cabell County in 2015.

To protect younger West Virginians from the debilitating effects of drug addiction, many anti-drug campaigns seek to inform schoolchildren about drugs in ways that will stick with them when they are faced with peer pressure or stress.

However, the most effective way to deter children

from drug use is still being debated.

Drug Abuse Resistance Education, the pioneers of the “just say no” campaign in the late 1990s and early 2000s that was influenced by the late Nancy Reagan, involved teaching children and young adults creative ways of saying no to using

drugs. However, intensive studies demonstrated that D.A.R.E. was ultimately ineffective and actually promoted drug use in some cases.

Current anti-drug campaigns in the media seem to rely on the use of Internet memes like Overly Attached Girlfriend and Jo-

seph Ducreaux (otherwise known as the “fornicate women, acquire currency” meme) in order to connect with youth. A song called “Left Swipe Dat” was even created by the anti-cigarette organization Truth and included dance moves.

However, efforts in these areas have been criticized as

cheesy and out of touch with modern pop culture by teens and have become the laughing stock of Internet users of all ages. If a campaign can’t be taken seriously by its target audience, it can hardly be deemed effective.

The body camera footage, though hard to watch, could serve as a valuable tool in educating others about the effects of drug addiction. Instead of receiving a glossed-over physical description of what happens during an overdose, seeing real-life material may open the eyes of adolescents and young adults and stop the prescription drug and heroin epidemic from continuing in this state.

Instead of using catchy songs or supposedly relatable material to nonchalantly get their message across, anti-drug campaigns might benefit from showing the hard truth behind drug addiction and overdosing. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

Boston encourages heroin use with ‘safe zones’ jenna gilbert columnist @j3nn_1f3r

Heroin use in the United States has been on the rise for the past 10 years and shows no sign of stopping. Recently, a nonprofit organization in Boston has announced plans to open a “safe space” for heroin users in which to safely ride out their high in hopes that they will be able to convince some to seek treatment for their addiction. However, this space only hurts heroin addicts, as it gives them a way to continue their drug use without severe consequences.

Boston is a hot spot for heroin users, and new research has found that approximately four residents of Massachusetts lose their battle with their heroin addiction daily. However, adding a safe zone in a building staffed with medical professionals ready to handle overdoses is not going to convince users to seek treatment. Instead, it will only give them the ability to cheat death without any repercussions.

Dr. Jessie Gaeta, the chief medical officer at the Boston Health Care for the Homeless Program, is adamant about the clinic’s staff encouraging users to seek help. However, the biggest problem with this

commentary

This conference room is where Dr. Jessie Gaeta hopes heroin users can safely come down from their high and avoid overdosing. facility is that if users simply don’t want to change their lifestyle, then there’s absolutely nothing the medical staff can legally do about it.

Another problem with the program is that users won’t be allowed to shoot up inside. However, who is to say that the users who need the most supervision or medical attention will find their way to the safe

place in time? The drug users who will actually use the facility and listen to staff members will likely be those who are already seeking help and struggling to remain sober. Because of this, it may be too late to save the most critical demographics, such as teens or parents, from overdosing.

Addiction is more than a poor decision; it’s classi-

fied as a mental disorder in which the addiction controls a person’s thoughts and actions. Drug abusers can’t and won’t change until they absolutely want to, and it often takes years and many slip-ups before reaching total sobriety.

With each relapse, the disease comes back stronger, and with a drug like heroin where every batch differs in potency and ingre-

commonhealth.wbur.org

dients, all it takes is one injection to permanently end their battle.

Heroin is one of the hardest drug addictions to break, which is another reason many users fight going to treatment. Addicts struggle for years with trying to rid themselves of the control the disease has on them, but the fear of what they will experience in their withdrawal

period often keeps them from ever seeking serious help.

Heroin beats cocaine, crack and meth when it comes to withdrawal strength, according to Bill Dinker, a former addict.

It’s physically painful to experience and includes muscle aches, fever chills, diarrhea and vomiting. It can also cause anxiety, insomnia and depression.

The severity of the symptoms can vary from patient to patient; however, many will agree that each time an abuser attempts to break their addiction, their withdrawal symptoms increase in severity.

The way to end this epidemic is not with the introduction of safe zones.

Boston city officials should work to stop addiction before it starts, not just accommodate abuser’s addictions in safe ways. They should identify those who are at risk and place them into proper treatment before they begin to self-medicate with more drugs. Although I agree that something needs to be done about the heroin epidemic in this country, the solution is to not give abusers a way to cheat death. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

Ray Tomlinson: Appreciating email in light of creator’s passing kody goff columnist @retrosyk

The father of email, Ray Tomlinson, passed away March 5. Though his name is not well-known, few people rival the scope of his contributions to the way we communicate with one another today.

Tomlinson leaves behind a legacy that completely reshapes almost every aspect of first-world civilization. Not only did he essentially invent the modern system of email, but he made use of the “@” sign commonplace in the early field of computing.

For better or worse, email changed the face of human interaction and remains a mainstay in modern communications. The systems which Tomlinson helped put in place will continue to reshape and reform the ways in which humanity speaks to one another.

Email is far more vital than most people would imagine. Not only has it been crucial to professional communication for

DA

decades, but email actually predates the Internet itself.

The earliest forms of the Internet, such as ARPAnet, were heavily influenced by email’s creation. Early email, transferred short distances by cumbersome machines, was instrumental to the birth of the modern Internet. The beginning of email highlighted the importance of sharing information between computers—something typically taken for granted today.

Email was preceded by phone and fax in terms of “instant” communication, but neither had quite the same capabilities as sending files electronically. Today’s successors of email— instant messaging and texting—utilize the simplicity and time efficiency of email for a social context over a professional one. With this in mind, email can be viewed as a crucial evolutionary step leading to where electronic communication is today. Facebook posts, tweets, Instagram photos, hashtag campaigns and many other innovations are made possible not

just because of the Internet, but because of email’s contribution to today’s culture.

With every great advancement comes a downside, and the grand majority of people today know the dark side of email all too well. “Spam” refers to an e-mail which fulfills one or more of the following characteristics: unsolicited, self-promotional or just plain unwanted. Every person who uses email has had spam clog up their inbox at one time or another.

Email shouldn’t be blamed for this, however, as advertisements and gaudy promotions tend to choke the life out of any new technology.

Email is far from dead.

On West Virginia University’s campus, email plays a vital part in our everyday lives. If a student has a question, they wouldn’t text their professor, but would send an email instead. Professors frequently send out class announcements or reply to interpersonal correspondences through email as well. Outside of college, most businesses re-

Ray Tomlinson pioneered communication between computers early in the Internet age. quire employees to have at least one email address on file, and innumerable organizations use email to distribute newsletters or promotional offers.

In the future, mankind will most likely still be using email or some advanced equivalent. Some

technologies are so simple, so accessible and yet so unbelievably critical that it’s unlikely the species will ever go without them again. Smartphones may well be a fad, and social media use has yet to establish itself as a true mainstay. Even desktop computers seem less pop-

ular than they once were.

Despite this, the most basic of online utilities remains. Email is a pillar of our modern civilization, and everyone should know the name of the person responsible for it: Ray Tomlinson. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

Know before you go: 8 essential items for your spring break getaway

SEVEN STRANGERS

by ally litten A&E writer @dailyathenaeum

With spring break only a few weeks away, it is essential to start planning and packing for your tropical getaway. Nothing can ruin spring break faster than realizing you forgot to pack something crucial. Here are the top eight items that need to accompany you on all spring break travels.

1.

Sun Block There is nothing more important than keeping your skin safe and healthy. Be sure to grab a high-strength sunscreen for the middle of the day. Spray sunscreens come in handy in the middle of a beach day when you are covered in sand and in a hurry to get back in the water.

2.

For long days, pool or beach-side, stay prepared by packing numerous bathing suits. suits are a must for spring break trips. Remember that you are most likely going to be spending the day on the beach, so packing a lot of day outfits might be a waste of space.

3. Sunglasses Whether you are on a long drive or spending the day on the beach, sun protection for your eyes is a must.

4.

Auxiliary Cord or Mix CDs Warm weather is a long drive from Morgantown. Make sure you grab an aux cord for your car so you can play your favorite jams all the way to the beach. If you have an older car, break out your old mix CDs from high school and reminisce on the good ol’ days.

5.

Sturdy Sandals Comfortable and durable footwear is a must for spring

It’s 2016, and anything is possible. Your chance to become the next enigma on MTV’s “Real World” is now.

Next week at the Mountainlair, “Real World” will have two interviewers scanning and examining the long-running reality show’s hopefuls.

Formerly known as “The Real World,” the name was slightly altered to “Real World” in 2013. The show takes seven young people from across the country and mixes them up as roommates in a chosen host city for an extended period of time. With each new season, “Real World” manages to cast a group that can still bring together enough original comedy, drama and romance to make the show go.

The two reps from MTV will meet with groups of 10 as a form of a meet and greet.

From that point on, they will get a better idea of who to target and who to interview one-on-one in the future.

“Your look can be anywhere from attractive to interesting,” said senior casting director Martin Booker. “I look for a person who has a lot of charisma, is unapologetically themselves and is able to relate to.”

It’s not just college students that Booker and his team are looking for.

They prefer all walks of life. And though Morgantown is home to a college in WVU, it’s also a central location for surrounding cities and towns that can produce some unusual characters, no pun intended.

“I like people who are out doing things,” Booker said. “I’m really interested in just trying to find that one personality

The city where the cast and crew will reside for a quarter of the year, in its 32nd season, is currently undecided. Having covered a good portion of the United States, venturing overseas can make for a difficult language barrier. Booker said they’ve pretty much been everywhere.

He’s been a part of “Real World” for 18 seasons.

“When I first started, we would always go to campuses, and we haven’t done that in a really long time,” Booker said.

The one guideline for casting is those auditioning must be 21 or older. Having the ability to go to bars and clubs is a huge premise for the show, and not being able to get in poses a little bit of a problem for the plot.

Discovering that “something” as Booker described it is what the crew is in

search of. Past cast members have certainly had it, and it’s generated success over the many seasons. The 31st season, “Real World: Go Big or Go Home,” takes place in Las Vegas and premieres at 10 p.m. on St. Patrick’s Day. In addition to stopping in Morgantown for candidates, the crew will visit the campuses of the University of Wisconsin in Madison, the University of Central Florida in Orlando, Iowa State University in Ames and The University of Michigan in Ann Arbor.

The “Real World” will hold open casting calls from from 10 a.m - 5 p.m. on Wednesday, March 16 in the Potomac Room of the Mountainlair.

Light Layers Although it is warm down south, it is important to dress for all times of the day. It might be hot at lunch time, but by dinner the weather will become chilly. Avoid this by taking light layers, such as a windbreaker or a cardigan. It is not a hassle to throw one in your bag, and it could possibly save your night.

7.

Visa Gift Cards An experienced traveler will remember to contact their bank beforehand to let them know they are traveling away from home. Most students forget to do this until their bank declines purchases on their cards because the banksuspects a fraudulent purchase in Florida. To avoid this situation altogether, put money on a Visa gift card. You can add more money as you go along, and, if you are on a strict budget, it could help you save a little money.

The Obamas to be keynote speakers at SXSW by woody pond A&E writer @dailyathenaeum

SXSW has grown over the past 30 years into one of the biggest events of the year. It consists of a set of arts festivals focusing on music, film and interactive media in Austin, Texas. SXSW continues to grow every year, with around 28,000 musicians registering and more than 50,000 media registrants in 2015. With more than 2,000 live musical acts and nearly 100 films shown annually, last year’s celebration was the biggest year yet for the all-encompassing festival.

This year’s festival, which runs from March 11-20, will dedicate its last six days exclusively to music.

The idea for SXSW started in 1987 as an extension of New Music Seminar, a New York City music festival. That plan fell through, and staffer for “The Austin Chronicle” Roland Swenson decided to co-organize a local music festival with the help of two of his col-

leagues. The name South by Southwest came from the title of one of Hitchcock’s films, “North by Northwest.”

It began local, but many more artists showed up than anticipated and the event soon gained national popularity. In 1993, SXSW moved into the Austin Convention Center, which is still its home, and the following year the directors announced the SXSW Film and Multimedia Conference with keynote speaker Johnny Cash.

Many artists have gotten their start from SXSW, while more popular performers tend to use the event as a way to interact with a different group of fans in a fun, joy-filled Texas environment. This year promises a lot of fresh faces, as well as some notable veterans who add mass public appeal.

Keys N Krates is performing a set on Tuesday night, as well as rappers Lil Dicky and Wale. These big-name performers are flanked by currently rising artists, like hip-hop artist Anderson Paak, a recent

signee to Aftermath and Dr. Dre collaborator. Wednesday on the Gatsby stage, DJ Baauer will be performing, as well as R&B singer Kehlani. Some of the artists to watch for are BJ the Chicago Kid, who just dropped an excellent album, and the huge jazz fusion orchestra Snarky Puppy which may range from having 10 members performing to 40.

There are some exciting films that are being shown during that week as well.

Richard Linklater’s “Everybody Wants Some,” the spiritual sequel to “Dazed & Confused” and the follow-up to the critically acclaimed “Boyhood” will be premiering at SXSW this year. Alongside it will be the sci-fi flick “Midnight Special” and the return of Pee Wee Herman in “Pee Wee’s Big Holiday.” There are some interesting documentaries being shown at the event, too, including “Beware the Slenderman,” which focuses on the story of two Wisconsin children who stabbed their class-

A huge step forward for the event is a scheduled appearance by President Barack Obama and the First Lady as keynote speakers at SXSW this year. On Friday, the President will sit down for a personal interview with Evan Smith, ed-

itor in chief of “The Texas Tribune,” to discuss civic engagement and to call for the innovators and artists at SXSW to put their creativity and ingenuity toward finding solutions to technological problems and to help bring more awareness and interest to focal points in society like political partic-

Judging by lineups and presale success, it’s looking like a very successful year for the SXSW organization and a fun experience for audience members who score the opportunity to visit the legendary Austin festival. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Celebrities turn to social media to undermine trolls

ATLANTA (AP) ‑ When Rick Ross posted a photo of himself on Instagram posing with Diddy, a woman joked on his page about the burly, bearded rapper wearing shades inside a nightclub.

Ross noticed - and didn’t take kindly to it. In retaliation, he replied with an insult about the size of the woman’s nose.

He’s not alone in responding to unflattering comments with vitriol. From Rick Ross to Rihanna to the Kardashians, celebrities are going out of their way to “clap back” at regular folk who have the audacity to come for them on social media.

“It’s for people to say ‘Oohh and aahh,’” said the rapper, who’s had his fair share of clap back battles on social media, mostly against 50 Cent. “Sometimes it makes you laugh at something that someone said. Social media is an avenue to say what’s on your mind.”

Clapping back is a way for someone to instantly gain the upper hand against an adversary who disrespected them, their family members or close friends. Most use social media platforms such as Twitter and Instagram to fire back at someone (it’s not clear when the phrase originated or resurfaced. In 2003, Rapper Ja Rule released the song “Clap Back,” a diss track directed toward 50 Cent and Eminem).

Chris Brown is a repeat clap back offender. Nicki Minaj cursed out an Instagram troll who criticized the rapper’s supportive post of the N.W.A. biopic film “Straight Outta Compton.” Kim Kardashian pointed out the poor grammar of someone who came on her page to criticize her.

It’s become such a regular occurrence that gossip outlets like The Shade Room regularly highlight the best celebrity clap backs in separate social media posts.

The woman who was the butt of Rick

Ross’ insult, Holly McKelvey, said she was surprised by Ross’ unflattering response to her joke. Even though she saw a substantial increase of 1,400 followers after her spat with him, she endured enormous backlash from countless numbers of the rapper’s fans.

“I was shocked,” said McKelvey, a Texas native. “That was odd to me. It’s not often that celebrities come to somebody’s page.

But oh my God, it was insane. People were going to every single picture, any video I made, criticizing me. They called me stupid, talking about my skin because I have really sensitive skin. It was the meanest stuff ever.”

Rihanna is notorious for showing low tolerance toward anyone who dares to express negativity her way. Last year, the singer responded harshly when she was criticized for not donating enough to a cause.

“My Prada shoes that I spent nothing on cant stop anyone from dying!” Rihanna wrote in response. “However the $100,000 I just sent to the Philippines will!

Now eject reject witcho ratchet (explicit), begging for purses!”

Rapper The Game went on a verbal assault on Instagram in response to someone who made a homophobic slur about his son, called his other children ugly and the mother of his children old. The rapper boldly told the critic: “Tonite when you go to sleep I hope pitbull fleas infest your armpits ...”

R&B singer K. Michelle said she doesn’t try to stress over comments too much, but much like others, she is ready to respond when she feels compelled to put someone in check. She recently clapped back at someone for making fun of her post of the late singer David Bowie.

“I clap back for fun,” K. Michelle said. “I

Rick Ross, and other celebrities, use social media to ‘clap back’ at people insulting them. really don’t clap back because of anything else. It’s for fun. People say, ‘Oh, you’re hurt.’ No, not really. I’m really hurt for you because you’re pathetic.”

Even though K. Michelle doesn’t take it too seriously, some believe she and other entertainers should.

Jesse Mills, who runs an Atlanta-based branding agency, said clapping back on social media could benefit or hurt stars.

He said celebs shouldn’t let regular people or other celebrities get under their skin.

“You shouldn’t let anyone know they can penetrate your psyche,” Mills said.

showbiz411.com

“Once someone sees that you are responding, it opens up a Pandora’s box for others who will try to antagonize you to see if you react to them emotionally. It can create a vicious cycle.”

Usher, who is rarely combative on social media, echoed those sentiments.

“Be careful what you say and don’t take anything personal,” the Grammy-winning singer said. “Don’t get me wrong. I have emotions just like any other person.

I tweet little bitty humorous things, because I think it’s funny. But you have to be impeccable with your words.”

Rowling’s writing chair to be auctioned ‘Underground’ to NEW YORK (AP) — It could be said that it’s where the magic and witchcraft began.

The humble chair J.K. Rowling sat on while writing the first two books of the Harry Potter series is going on the auction block in New York City on April 6 with an opening bid of $45,000.

It’s an ordinary-looking chair but magical in that Rowling placed “this unassuming 1930s-era oak chair with a replacement burlap seat decorated with a red thistle ... in front of her typewriter and went about writing two of the most important books of the modern era,” said James Gannon, director of rare books at Heritage Auctions.

It was one of four mismatched chairs given to the then starving artist for her flat in Edinburgh, Scotland, and which she used while writing “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone” and “Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.”

The chair was auctioned before - once by Rowling herself to benefit a charity in 2002 where it fetched $21,000, and on eBay in 2009 where it brought $29,000.

Before Rowling donated the chair to the “Chair-rish a Child” auction in support of the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children in 2002, she painted the words “You may not/find me pretty/ but don’t judge/on what you see” on the stiles and splats. She also signed the backrest in gold and rose colors and wrote “I wrote/ Harry Potter/while sitting/

The chair J.K. Rowling wrote the first two ‘Harry Potter’ books in is up for auction again. It starts at $45,000. on this chair” on the seat.

The word “Gryffindor,” the Hogwarts house of Harry, Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley, is spelled out on a cross stretcher.

The chair is accompanied by an original typed and signed letter Rowling wrote prior to the first auction.

It reads: “Dear newowner-of-my-chair. I was given four mismatched dining room chairs in 1995 and this was the comfiest one, which is why it ended up stationed permanently in front of my typewriter, supporting me while I typed out ‘Harry Potter and

the Philosopher’s Stone’ and ‘Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets’. My nostalgic side is quite sad to see it go, but my back isn’t.

J. K. Rowling.”

The first book was released in the United States in 1998 with the title “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone.”

Heritage said the current seller was an English collector who wished to remain anonymous.

“The characters that Rowling created are the super heroes of the millennials as Batman and Superman were for the Sixties,”

said Rick Rounick, owner of the Soho Contemporary Art gallery, which specializes in pop culture. “The chair that Rowling claims gave her the magic to create the world of Harry Potter is a singularly significant object of her art and creative energy.”

Muggles can get a look at the Harry Potter memorabilia in the window of Heritage’s Park Avenue gallery beginning Friday. There will be no Sorting Hat to magically determine who’ll wind up with the chair but potential buyers can bid online beginning March 18. The live auction is April 6.

NEW YORK (AP) ‑ What sort of grit and ingenuity did it take for slaves in the Old South to flee from a plantation that had been their world for their entire lives, then head 600 or 700 miles north without any clear idea of what “north” is or what was likely to await were they sufficiently lucky to reach their destination?

This odyssey is explored in “Underground,” a new drama series premiering on WGN America on Wednesday at 10 p.m. EDT. The series stars Aldis Hodge as Noah, a blacksmith who gathers a small group of his fellow slaves and hatches a plan of escape along the Underground Railroad, a network of secret routes and safe houses used by slaves with the help of abolitionists to find covert passage to free states.

Among his fellow travelers is Rosalee (Jurnee SmollettBell), a timid house slave who summons unimagined bravery within herself to join this grueling mission. Mykelti Williamson, Reed Diamond and Christopher Meloni also star.

“It’s full of intrigue, stories of heroism and courage, danger and suspense, and I thought it would be great television,” said John Legend, an executive producer of “Underground” and a driving force behind the series.

In a recent interview, the Oscar-winning singer-songwriter said he was drawn to

the project by prior knowledge of the period and the events it portrays: He studied English at the University of Pennsylvania with a concentration in African-American literature and culture.

“I’m excited by the idea of bringing this under-told story to life,” Legend said. “It’s such an exciting story about the first integrated civil rights movement in American history and the fight to abolish slavery.

“You want it to be dramatically powerful but also honest to the time period,” he added, crediting series creators Misha Green and Joe Pokaski for their exacting research that included many slave narratives.

But this chapter of history needs little enhancement.

“There’s really so much intrigue in the truth,” he said.

The cast makes the most of characters who - whether sympathetic or despicable are “complex and interesting,” Legend said. And even with figures who the audience will see as villains, “if you don’t end up agreeing with the way they behave, you at least see their perspective.”

What does Legend want viewers to take away from the series?

“I want them to be inspired,” he said. “I want them to see the courage of slaves who defied the odds and did something that was truly dangerous and who risked their lives to be free.”

Peyton Manning changed the way we watch and play football To find the true measure of what Peyton Manning meant to football, don’t bother poring over the highlights from his record 186 wins, or re-watching either of his Super Bowl victories, or looking at a single throw he made on his way to a record-setting 71,940 passing yards over 18 seasons.

Instead, simply wait ‘til September. When it comes, pick any weekend, turn on any game - pro, college, high school - and watch quarterbacks lining up in the shotgun, changing plays at the line of scrimmage, dissecting defenses at will and rolling up numbers that were once deemed unthinkable.

All those quarterbacks are doing what Manning showed was possible. He created the passing game as we know it in 2016 and, in turn, forced defenses to adapt and disguise and get better. He won as much with his mind as his arm, and put as much work into Monday through Friday as he did when he suited up on Sunday.

“It’s not to say audibles

didn’t exist before Peyton Manning came around, because they did,” said Tim Hasselbeck, the former NFL quarterback who is now an analyst for ESPN. “But he’d go to the line of scrimmage with the ability to get to the play that would be best for the defense out there. You look around the league at what other teams were trying to do, and they were trying to emulate what Peyton Manning was doing as a quarterback.”

Set on the notion that every defense had a weak spot, the Colts-turned-Broncos quarterback spent hours analyzing them, the way a wealth manager looks at stocks. Then, on Sundays, he tore them apart. His calls of “Omaha, Omaha” - whatever that meant - were as frustrating to the defenses as they were entertaining to those counting along at home.

In short, Manning obliterated the long-held notion in football that the word “pass” automatically had to be associated with “risk.”

“You changed the game

forever and made everyone around you better,” Manning’s biggest rival, Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, said in a shout-out to No. 18.

So, the question becomes, where does Manning rate among the all-time greats?

Like almost everything else he touched over nearly two decades in the NFL, Manning has recalibrated this question.

Measured by mere Super Bowl titles, he is beaten - with two fewer than Brady, Joe Montana and Terry Bradshaw.

Measured by mere athleticism, he cannot stand up to John Elway’s grit or Dan Marino’s arm or Steve Young’s combination of speed and precision.

He didn’t have the common man’s, swashbuckling style of Kenny Stabler and Brett Favre, or the ability (or need) to constantly absorb the game’s brutality, a la Troy Aikman and Fran Tarkenton.

But pointing out the obvious is selling Manning short, especially considering the brutally difficult comeback

he made after four neck surgeries that, in many minds, should have put him out of the game forever.

Starting at Square One, barely able to release the ball from his hand, Manning rebuilt his game and played four years in Denver, leading the Broncos to two Super Bowls, one title, and, in 2013, directing the most prolific offense in NFL history.

The last season, and the last few months, were, in a strange way, the most impressive.

Burdened with a bum foot that sent him to the bench for six weeks, Manning did the grunt work of a rehabilitating backup. Only when the Broncos bogged down in the regular-season finale did he get back in the game. He checked to the right plays, didn’t try to do too much and let the defense guide the way. Manning completed only 13 passes and Denver gained only 194 yards in last month’s Super Bowl victory over Carolina - the lowest yardage total ever for a winner.

That Manning was willing to go with the flow, not fight it, spoke volumes of the kind of quarterback he really was.

His legacy, he said, wasn’t about the five MVP awards, the 539 touchdown passes and all the rest of the records.

“For me,” he said before the Super Bowl, “it’s being a good teammate, having the respect of my teammates, having the respect of the coaches and players.”

While changing the game, he also burnished a remarkable off-the-field career showing fans and fellow players that, yes, when the time is right, you can do the commercials, do the funny on “Saturday Night Live,” build multimillion-dollar charities and somehow come off like the guy next door.

Too good to be true?

Maybe. The last few months have been checkered with reports that linked him to human growth hormone and a rehashing of a sexual harassment claim from his days at Tennessee.

Those stories will play out,

and could ultimately harm Manning’s legacy.

But for almost anyone who played with him, or coached him, there’s not much left to debate.

In an interview three years ago, Manning’s college quarterbacks coach, David Cutcliffe, spoke about one of the first plays any Tennessee player had to learn when they arrived in Knoxville in the 1990s. It was a staple of the offense, called “62 Meyer.”

During the summer leading into his freshman year, Manning studied the play, then took three pages’ worth of his own handwritten questions and gave them to Cutcliffe before fall practice started.

Ultimately, Manning almost always figured out the answers - at Tennessee, then in Indianapolis and, finally, during his four years in Denver.

“He redefined preparation,” Cutcliffe said. “He redefined the quality of the work that’s expected of the people around him.”

Illinois hires former Tampa Bay coach Lovie Smith as new head coach CHAMPAIGN, Ill. (AP) — Digging out from a scandal and weary of having its football program mired near the bottom of the Big Ten, Illinois made a splash Monday by hiring former NFL coach Lovie Smith to lead the Illini.

The move came two days after athletic director Josh Whitman, in his first official day on the job, fired Bill Cubit after a single season in Champaign. He turned to Smith, who took the Chicago Bears to the 2006 Super Bowl and was dismissed as coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in January.

Smith said he is intent on making the Illini a power in the Big Ten, home to such

big-name coaches as Ohio State’s Urban Meyer and Michigan’s Jim Harbaugh.

“I take this responsibility very seriously and can’t wait to get a staff in place to start our move to make Illinois a contender for Big Ten titles,” Smith said, hours before greeting a couple hundred enthusiastic students in the university union. “We will play an exciting brand of football that will make our fans, alumni, student body and members of the university community extremely proud.”

This is the first college head-coaching job for the 58-year-old Smith and he faces a daunting task: Illinois has had six losing sea-

sons in the past eight years and the program also is recovering from allegations of player abuse that led the school to fire coach Tim Beckman a week before last season started.

Smith agreed to a sixyear contract worth $21 million, including $2 million per year for the first two seasons.

Whitman said hiring a coach of Smith’s stature was a first step.

“We will build a program that contends annually for Big Ten and national championships,” he said. “The timing for this move was extremely tight, and we needed to move quickly. A coach of Lovie’s caliber would not have

been available to us if we had waited until after the 2016 season.”

Smith is the first black head coach in football or men’s basketball at Illinois, which has been criticized by state lawmakers and others for never hiring a black coach for either program. University trustee James Montgomery, an Illinois graduate who is black, called Smith’s contract a bargain and his hire both historic and a potential recruiting boost.

“It’s an amazing turnaround in the history of the university in terms of hiring an African-American coach for a major sport at the university,” Montgomery said. “It’s a great incen-

tive for kids in our Chicago area to look at the University of Illinois from a recruiting point of view.”

Smith and the Bears made it to the Super Bowl in 2006, losing to the Indianapolis Colts. Chicago fired Smith after the 2012 season after he compiled an overall record of 84-66 in front of fans who grew weary of teams that often struggled on offense and missed the playoffs in five of his final six seasons.

He ran the Buccaneers for just two years before he was fired with an 8-24 overall record.

“We had high hopes when I took over the franchise. You just can’t build a program overnight,” Smith

said not long before he was let go.

Smith has not worked in college football since serving as defensive backs coach for Ohio State in 1995. He also was an assistant at Tennessee, Kentucky, Arizona State, Wisconsin and Tulsa.

It is not clear yet how the firing of Cubit or the hiring of Smith will affect the recruiting class Cubit assembled this year. The Illini return key players, including starting quarterback Wes Lunt, a group of receivers that could among the best in the Big Ten and what could also be a deep group of running backs. But Illinois will be thin at a number of positions on defense.

Former NFLer Adams hired as WVU’s cornerbacks coach

BY DAVID STATMAN SPORTS EDITOR @dJSTATMAN77

The sudden departure of veteran cornerbacks coach Brian Mitchell might have left the West Virginia University football team a bit in the lurch, but less than three weeks later, the Mountaineers have their replacement.

According to a report from Sports Illustrated on Monday, head coach Dana Holgorsen and the Mountaineers will hire former Miami Dolphins assistant Blue Adams as their new cornerbacks coach, just in time for spring practice to start next weekend.

“I am excited to come to West Virginia and be a part of this program and coaching staff,” Adams said in a press release. “I want to thank Coach Holgorsen for giving me this opportunity. I believe in (defensive coordinator Tony) Gibson and the style of defense here, and I’m looking forward to working and teaching these talented young men on this campus and helping them develop.”

A Miami native, Adams played college football at Cincinnati and was a seventh-round selection of the Detroit Lions in 2003.

Adams went on to appear in 51 NFL games over four seasons for the Jacksonville Jaguars, Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Cincinnati Bengals, recording 44 total tackles, one sack and one forced fumble.

Adams retired as a player after a brief stint with the Canadian Football League’s Montreal Alouettes in 2009, and spent two seasons as a collegiate assistant with Purdue and Northern Iowa before joining new head coach Joe Philbin’s staff with the Miami Dolphins in 2012.

Working as assistant defensive backs coach, Adams served on the Dolphins’ coaching staff for four years under Philbin and defensive coordinator Kevin Coyle. With the Dolphins, Adams coached two Pro Bowlers: cornerback Brent Grimes and safety Reshad Jones.

Although Mitchell departed several weeks before the start of spring practice, WVU was able to use assistant defense/ special teams coach Mark Scott to continue coaching

the cornerbacks, although they balked at making Scott the full-time cornerback coach.

“Mark Scott has been dealing with those guys for three years now,” Holgorsen said. “Those guys are still getting coached.

We are not prepared to make Mark the corner coach because he is the special teams coach right now. In the interim, they’re covered. That downplays the importance of getting a guy in here yesterday.”

With Adams in the fold, West Virginia will have an entirely new pair of secondary coaches for 2016.

In January, WVU hired safeties coach Matt Caponi away from former Mountaineer coach Rich Rodriguez’s staff at Arizona, reuniting him with WVU defensive coordinator and former Arizona assistant Tony Gibson.

Adams will take over a WVU cornerback unit that lost its three main contributors from last season: graduating seniors Terrell Chestnut and Ricky Rumph, and junior Daryl Worley, who declared for the NFL Draft.

West Virginia’s defense combined for 23 interceptions last season, tied for second most in the nation.

Eleven of those came from WVU’s cornerbacks: six from Chestnut, three from Worley, and one each from rising seniors Nana Kyeremeh and Rasul Douglas.

Kyeremeh and Douglas are expected to be major contributors on the defense this season, along with Miami transfer Antonio Crawford, who arrives in Morgantown with one year of eligibility. Junior college transfers Elijah Battle and Mike Daniels are also set to join WVU’s cornerback unit, as are incoming freshmen Jacquez Adams, Jake Long and Sean Mahone.

“Corner is going to be interesting to watch,” Holgorsen said. “Rasul and Antonio Crawford are seniors who have a lot of experience. Who knows? We may be better there.”

Adams will have several weeks of spring practice to get his hooks in his new cornerback unit before West Virginia’s spring game on April 23.

West Virginia’s 2016 season opener is set for Sep. 3 against Missouri. djstatman@mail.wvu.edu

WVU’s Bria Holmes drives to the basket last month against Baylor.

Sunday’s loss could impact WVU’s NCAA seeding

By Roger Turner Sports Writer @DailyAthenaeum

Sunday’s 67-51 loss to the No. 6 Texas Longhorns was the final test for the West Virginia women’s basketball team before the squad heads into the 2016 Women’s NCAA Basketball Tournament.

Just a season ago, the West Virginia women’s basketball program failed to make the field of 64, also coming just shy of 20 wins during the regular season. The 2015-16 Mountaineers did just the opposite in what was expected to be another season of rebuilding the program. This year’s team managed to defy the odds, finishing with a 24-9 record and third in the Big 12 Conference.

Now expected to get an at-large bid in the upcoming Women’s NCAA Basketball Tournament, there is no doubt the Mountaineers are in complete con-

trol of their own destiny.

“We have eight freshmen, 11 new players out of 14 on this squad coming into this year, so I’m proud of the team,” said WVU head coach Mike Carey. “Our girls deserve a lot of credit.”

Going into the Big 12 Tournament, WVU broke into the AP Top 25 for the third time this season. For a team tagged as inexperienced and rebuilding, the Mountaineers displayed a near-dominating performance early on in the season.

WVU started out hot, going 11-2 versus nonconference opponents and putting up 90 plus points three times before entering conference play.

Although the team’s non-conference schedule could have been tougher, the Mountaineers took care of business against likely NCAA Tournament selection Indiana, and lost only one neutral site game.

Falling to the Longhorns in the Big 12 Tournament marked the third time West Virginia was defeated by Texas this season. It has the possibility of affecting the Mountaineers’ projected seeding in the upcoming national tournament.

According to ESPN Women’s Bracketology analyst Charlie Creme, WVU was a projected No. 5 seed in the Lexington region before Sunday’s loss.

However, the Mountaineers are now a projected No. 7 seed, which pits Carey’s team against a No. 10 seed instead of a No. 12 seed.

Much is still to be determined over the next week until the official bracket is announced, but the Mountaineers’ 20-win season and third-place finish in the Big 12 helps the team’s case for a topfive seed. Currently, West Virginia has the nation’s 22nd-best ranked strength of schedule, and outlasted

likely NCAA Tournament qualifiers Oklahoma and Oklahoma State in the conference tournament to finish third.

The only thing hurting the Mountaineers’ case for seeding is the team’s record versus ranked opponents. WVU is 2-6 this season when facing ranked opponents, with all six losses coming to Big 12 opponents.

What the Mountaineers do have on their side is an overall record of 12-6 in a power five conference featuring two of the nation’s top-five women’s basketball programs; Baylor and Texas. Selection Monday for the Women’s NCAA Basketball Tournament will determine the fate of West Virginia’s seeding in this upcoming tournament, but anticipate the Mountaineers to be selected in the Lexington region as either a No. 5, 6, or 7 seed. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

FOOTBALL

Passing game shows promise ahead of spring practice

BY CHRIS JACKSON

ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR @CJACKSONWVU

Two months removed from a 532-yard performance through the air in a 43-42 Cactus Bowl victory over Arizona State, nearly all the Mountaineer passing attack returns for the beginning of spring practice.

Skyler Howard became the fourth Big 12 quarterback in the last six years to eclipse 3,000 passing yards and 500 rushing yards in a season, and his bowl performance showed a lot of promise heading into his second full season and final year at the helm of the offense.

Howard tossed five touchdowns in the Cactus Bowl, topping off the evening with the game-winning touchdown pass to David Sills with 2:19 left, lifting the Mountaineers to an 8-5 final record.

Although Sills remains in the quarterback room despite being converted to receiver midway through 2015, his opportunities may not be limited offensively. The same goes for William Crest, who also saw the occasional time at receiver.

“He’s in the quarterback room,” said WVU head coach Dana Holgorsen. “He wants to be a

“The thing about Daikiel (Shorts) is he always comes to work,” said WVU associate head coach/receivers coach Lonnie Galloway.

“He doesn’t say much. He observes a lot. He watches me. He watches to see what’s going on. He’s 100 percent dependable all the time.”

Jovon Durante and Gary Jennings also return for

their sophomore season, with both showing flashes at different times. Durante finished with 378 receiving yards and five touchdowns, highlighted by 121 yards and a score in the seasonopening win over Georgia Southern.

Jennings had 68 of his 116 yards in the Cactus Bowl, including his first collegiate score. Utilized as a returner throughout the year, an increased role is expected if he carries that into the spring.

Holgorsen also said senior Devonte Mathis and sophomore Ricky Rogers are in the mix, adding to an experienced and deep receiving corps. Although ESPN 300 signee Steven Smothers won’t be on campus until summer, he’s likely to find a way into the thick of the competition as well.

“I think they all have a chance to be pretty good,” Holgorsen said. “That is why I am pretty excited about the spring. I want to work with these guys. We have a lot of arms. We will be able to throw it a bunch.

We will be able to catch it a bunch. We will be able to see which one of these guys will be able to step up and make a whole bunch of plays and score a whole bunch of touchdowns.” cgjackson@mail.wvu.edu

Wrestling

Freshmen, WVU show promise during up and down season

By Joel Norman Sports Writer @DailyAthenaeum

Even though they aren’t officially heading to the NC AA Championship, two West Virginia University wrestlers can already be proud of their 2015-16 season.

Freshmen Connor Flynn and Keegan Moore weren’t supposed to participate this season as head coach Sammie Henson had redshirted them both.

On Dec. 5, their Mountaineer wrestling careers began. In the Cliff Keen Las Vegas Invitational, Moore made his collegiate debut at 133 pounds and reached the Round of 16 by upsetting his first two opponents.

Flynn did not experience the same success as Moore. Flynn lost his first match in the Championship bracket then fell in the first match of the Consolation round.

Regardless of their different starts, both Moore and Flynn emerged as important parts of the West Virginia wrestling team.

Moore went 16-10 in the regular season with four major decision victories

and seven takedowns.

Flynn won 14 matches with three major decision victories and six takedowns.

At this past weekend’s Big 12 Championship, Flynn and Moore finished fourth and sixth in their respective weight classes.

Flynn reached the third place bout for 165 pounds but couldn’t win the compensation bracket. Moore picked up a major decision victory in the first round, suffered a loss, won three straight and then lost his final two matches.

West Virginia finished in sixth place at the Big 12 Championships. Henson expressed his satisfaction for not only Flynn and Moore’s efforts, but the effort of the entire team.

“I’m very proud of our men and the way we battled,” Henson said. “As always, we wanted more, but I truly believe we are on the verge of something great here at WVU with our wrestlers, coaches and support staff. We will look to see how many wrestlers we can get into NCAAs in New York City. We appreciate the family, friends and fans for their loyalty and support.”

Jake A. Smith prepares to wrestle an Oklahoma State opponent in January. and Jacob A. Smith both earned bids to the NCAA Championship with third place finishes. Flynn and Moore still have a chance to join their teammates in New York City and participate in the NCAA Championship. The rest of

the Championship field will be announced on Wednesday.

Regardless of whether Flynn and Moore make it to New York, they have had an impressive season. In November, their chances of making a difference

on this team were slim to none because of their redshirts. Four months later, they are two of the best performers at the Big 12 Championship.

West Virginia will lose four seniors after this season. When Flynn and

Moore become sophomores, Henson will rely on them to contribute even more. The duo set the standard of success high this year, but it will only rise next season. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Tennis

Mountaineers prepare for start of Big 12 play next week

By Neel Madhavan Sports Writer @DailyAthenaeum

With the nonconference slate almost out of the way, the No. 75 West Virginia University women’s tennis team is set to open Big 12 Conference play next week against No. 10 Oklahoma State on Saturday March 19.

In women’s college tennis, the Big 12 has long been known as one of the top conferences in the country. Along with the SEC and ACC, the Big 12 has a number of its teams

in the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) rankings. Just like in other sports, the Big 12’s strength is its depth. In the most recent ITA Poll, eight of the 10 teams in the league were ranked in the top-75, with three of those eight making the top 25.

One thing Big 12 women’s tennis lacks in comparison to other leagues is the seemingly nonexistent number of players from the league that have gone on to play professional tennis on the WTA Tour.

Based on the current ITA rankings this year, the

class of the league looks to be Texas Tech, as the Red Raiders currently sit at No. 5 in the country. No. 10 Oklahoma State will also be a force to be reckoned with and will likely have a say in who the league champion ends up being at the end of the season. Even former conference bottomdweller Kansas has managed to climb its way to a No. 24 ranking this season, despite a number of years near the bottom of the league standings.

In recent years, Baylor has dominated the Big 12 in women’s tennis. The

No. 46 Bears are the three time defending conference champions, also winning the league tournament each of the past two seasons. Last season as Big 12 champions, Baylor made it all the way to the Elite Eight of the NCAA Women’s Tennis Tournament.

Since the league’s inception in 1996-97, Texas and Baylor have combined to win at least a share of 18 of 19 regular season conference titles, and 17 of 19 league tournament titles.

The Big 12 has never had a national champion, but Texas won two national

tennis championships in 1993 and 1995 as a member of the old Southwest Conference.

Since WVU joined the Big 12 in 2012, it has struggled to match up against the competition it has faced on the court. As a result, the Mountaineers will still be looking for their first Big 12 win when conference play starts next week.

“I’m very much looking forward to this stage of the season where we’re getting into the nits and grits of the season,” said WVU head coach Miha Lisac.

“The matches we’re play-

ing now are another step to prepare us for what’s coming in the Big 12. Because, honestly, there’s nothing different we’re going to see in the Big 12. Teams will come ready to play. Teams will come ready to fight and battle and that’s what we’re getting used to now.”

West Virginia has finished in last place each of its first three years in the league. But they have improved each season and 2016 looks primed to be the year the Mountaineers pick up their first league win. dasports@mail.wvu.edu
