TROY — Needing something to get you in the holiday spirit?

The Hometown Holiday celebration in downtown Troy may just do the trick.

This year’s Hometown Holiday celebration marks the eighth year in the event has been held.

The celebration will take place Nov. 29 beginning with a parade at 6:30

p.m.

“I think people in Troy always seem to love the parade, t h e e x c i t e - Walters m e n t of the tree lighting and all the other lights and festivities going on downtown,” said Karin Manovich, executive director of Troy Main Street. “I think it really

gets people in the holiday spirit.”

T h e event has a little bit of everything for f a m i l i e s Harrelson to enjoy.

It will include calls to the North Pole, visits with Santa, carriage rides, holiday music, refreshments, shopping at local merchants and Mayor Michael

Beamish will hold a special holiday reading of ‘T’was the Month Before Christmas.’

And there are a few new additions to the festivities this year, as well.

The Melody Men Chorus — a group of 25 male singers based in Piqua — will be performing starting at 6 p.m.

Also new to the celebration is the Kris Kringle Shop, which will be held in the Elks Lodge, 17 W. Franklin St. Children will be able to buy Christmas

gifts made by local artists, artisans and craftsmen from 4-8:30 p.m.

The downtown merchants also will be competing against each other with window decorating, just as they did during the Mumford and Sons Gentlemen of the Road Stopover weekend, according to Manovich.

The annual event is put on by Troy Main Street, with the help of sponsors Alvetro Orthodontics, See HOLIDAY | 2

Giving year round

Chase Rice is no stranger to hard work. He grew up on a farm in North Carolina and played college football at the University of North Carolina. So it’s no wonder he’s willing to go the extra mile to make his music career flourish.

Through non-stop dedication to his craft and a relentless tour schedule, the 27-year-old singer/ songwriter has been able to build a loyal fans base without having a hit song on the radio.

G.I.V.E. medical ministry is really living up to its name

By Colin Foster

Staff Writer colinfoster@civitasmedia.com

G.I.V.E. Medical Ministry is in the giving mood all year around.

G.I.V.E. aims to improve the physical, emotional and spiritual well-being of people with medical needs at

no charge. The medical ministry — which was launched from Covington resident Lec and Joan Mohler’s garage in 1997 — loans durable medical equipment, supplement disposable medical supplies, transfer medications to mission doctors and free clinics and makes referrals to free-

clinic audiologist, physicians, pharmacists, eye doctors and dentists.

“We get good, encouraging feedback,” G.I.V.E. manager Tom Downs said. “We don’t keep a real high profile. Most people know about us by word of mouth and through the church. We don’t try to hide, but at

the same time, we don’t have a big advertisement budget and such. A lot of it is from therapists, doctors offices, the hospitals, the nursing homes, and by word of mouth … the people who have came to us in the past referring us to someone else.”

G.I.V.E., a compas-

sion ministry of The New Path supported by Ginghamsburg Church, accepts donations of equipment, supplies and medications. The staff — which consists of 25 servant volunteers, a part-time manager/accountant and See G.I.V.E. | 2

Iran nuclear talks said down to fine print GENEVA (AP) — An Iran nuclear deal within reach, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and five other foreign ministers focused Saturday on the fine print of a draft agreement meant to satisfy not only the other side, but also to placate powerful domestic forces that fear giving too much for too little in return.

Diplomats refused to spell out details of the talks, held in a five-

star Geneva hotel.

But comments from both sides suggested negotiations focused on detailed wording that could be key in shaping an agreement that both sides could live with.

As midnight approached, Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi described the talks as being in “their 11th hour,” with most issues resolved but an agreement still elusive.

“We have agreed to 98 percent of the draft … but the remaining 2 percent is very important to us,” he told reporters without elaborating.

The goal is to hammer out an agreement to freeze Iran’s nuclear program for six months, while offering the Iranians limited relief from crippling economic sanctions.

If the interim deal holds, the

parties would negotiate finalstage agreements to ensure Iran does not build nuclear weapons.

Only then would the most crippling sanctions on Iranian oil sales and financial transactions be rolled back. “ There are narrow gaps, but they are important gaps,” British Foreign Secretary William Hague said about the drafting process.

G.I.V.E. From page A1 Works employee — makes sure everything in the shop is sanitized, serviced or repaired before shipping.

“Nothing goes out of here unless it’s right,” said LeRoy Clemons as he worked on a Hoyer lift inside the workshop Friday.

The medical ministry was created by the Lec and Joan Mohler in 1997. In 2000, G.I.V.E. moved to its current location at 1000 Mote Drive in Covington.

“Lec was in his early 70s, and he had a desire to do something useful with his life,” Downs explained. “He started looking around, and he found a church out in

Arizona that was collecting medical equipment and supplies and providing that to people in need — and that sparked him to come back to Covington and out of his garage, he started requesting people to donate equipment and supplies. He would loan out the equipment and provide the supplies.

“I had never met (Lec), he was institutionalized by the time (I started) in a nursing home, so I never had a chance to meet and talk with him,” Downs continued. “I did meet (Joan), though. She was quite a lady. Some people say she

was really the person behind it all, but that’s not surprising, she was a real energetic person. They both did great work.”

New Path assumed the administration of G.I.V.E. in 2007. Two years later the garage annex was built on to the building. Downs, who retired from General Motors as a product engineer in 2006, has been at G.I.V.E. for the last few years and said he spends roughly 25 hours a week in the office.

“I kind of puttered around for three years (after retiring) just helping out, and I was looking to use my time like Lec Mohler for some-

thing productive, and the opportunity came along to be manager of this,” Downs explained.

“It fit in quite well with what I wanted to do with my life. My administrative background and technical background as an engineer, it was just a neat fit that the Lord brought about.”

In 2012, G.I.V.E. served 1,375 families with 3,063 pieces of equipment. Downs said that 60-70 percent of the people G.I.V.E. assists are from Miami County, with a lot of the other requests for supplies coming from the surrounding counties.

The extra supplies and

equipment in the warehouse are donated to mission organizations.

“A big part of what we do here is any excess that we have in the stock we pass on to mission organizations,” Downs said. “We don’t try to keep the warehouse full, we’d rather see the warehouse empty and the equipment and supplies out helping people.”

And sometimes, those who give need to get a little in return. G.I.V.E. has been assisted by many donations and grants during its existence. A recent grant from the Paul Duke Foundation allowed G.I.V.E. to make

many renovations at its facility. The ministry has also received grants from the Miami County Foundation, the Troy Foundation, the Piqua Foundation and the Shelby County Foundation in the past.

G.I.V.E. Medical Ministry is open Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and also on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

People interested in donating equipment and/or making a monetary donation can do so by calling (937) 4735195. For more information on G.I.V.E Medical Ministry, visit www.newpathoutreach. org/give.

• Grand Marshals selected They were the little people who helped the Gentlemen of the Road Troy Stopover run smoothly. And now the city of Troy is recognizing Carri Walters and Will Harrelson by selecting them as grand

marshals of the Hometown Holiday celebration.

“We’ve got a holiday committee that reviews different suggestions from the board and other volunteers. This year they decided to honor Carri and Will with the grand marshals due to the time and effort they gave to the Gentlemen of the Road Stopover,” Manovich said.

According to Manovich, Walters and Harrelson worked from March through Labor Day — volunteering more than 1,000 hours and serving as co-volunteer coordinators for Troy Main Street, during the GOTR weekend.

Harrelson even handled the final accounting process for the event.

“Will and Carri worked tirelessly for seven months to recruit and staff dozens of shifts and positions, ranging from volunteer security to concessions to parking lot attendants,” Manovich said.

“Their organizational skills and management capabilities were simply amazing. We are grateful for their time, skill and dedication — and we are pleased to recognize their service with this honor.”

Walters has been a resident of Troy for 21 years and raised her daughter in town. She has roots to Troy Main Street, serving as executive director from 2000-03, and currently works in educational publishing in her home, located a few blocks from the Public Square.

Walters graduated with the 2002 class of Leadership Troy.

In her down time, Walters attends music festivals, volunteers and is a working member with the Stone’s Throw, the local foods co-op.

Harrelson is an attorney at Faust, Harrelson, Fulker, McCarthy & Schlemmer LLP in Troy, practicing business litigation, estate planning and general family law. He graduated from Miami University in 2008 with a bachelor’s degree in marketing from Farmer School of Business and obtained his juris doctorate from the University of Dayton in 2011. Harrelson volunteers as chair of HYPE Northern Miami Valley — Miami County’s only young professional networking group. He also serves on Troy Main Street Board of Trustees, the Miami County Visitors and Convention Bureau and the University of Dayton School of Law Alumni Association.

XXXXX The myth vs. reality of President Kennedy XXXXX DAN K. THOMASSON

Scripps Howard News Service

Hovering over the remembrances of John F. Kennedy on the 50th anniversary of his assassination is the ghost of a life that is more myth than reality, more revisionist than factual — one that has left him perhaps forever stranded in sort of an historic limbo between inspirational and second-rate tawdriness.

Truth, it seems, is always lost or at least sublimated in the grief we feel over such an event and the loss of potential when a promising future is cut short. It tends to allow us to forgive or at least overlook the deficiencies that were there for all of us to see if we had looked. But we are often too embarrassed to admit our negligence.

Then should we remember how naive we were about this handsome young war hero? Do we want to accept the facts about his health, his marriage, his carnal

appetites, his frequent lack family was pretty much a lie. of compassion and social He was not in good health. conscience, his dedication to His marriage was a sham. nobles oblige?

Of course in 1960 about this wealthy he was, but he had little interscion of an Irish-American est in the nuts and bolts of

the job. His brother, Robert, handled that assignment and in many ways was more the president than he. A director of the Marine Band once confided that when he asked Mrs. Kennedy before a White House social event what music the president liked, she replied that the band probably should play “Hail to the Chief… over and over again.”

JFK’s relationship with Martin Luther King was strained at best, and the president’s penchant for sexual episodes led to one of the more disgraceful acts of his administration. His affair with Judith Campbell, a mafia party girl who carried messages between the Chicago mobster Sam Giancana and the president, was discovered by the FBI. J. Edgar Hoover brought it to the attention of Attorney General Robert Kennedy, who immediately realized the political consequences if discovered.

A decade later when it was disclosed by me and a Scripps

Howard colleague, I appeared on “Good Morning America” in New York with JFK’s former White House chief of staff Kenney O’Donnell in a one-on-one debate. Asked by the moderator and host, David Hartmann, about the import of this I explained that the implied threat of its disclosure by Hoover forced Robert Kennedy to agree to the electronic surveillance of King. O’Donnell did not disagree but understandably tried to skirt the issue.

How history regards our presidents is mostly transitory. It depends to a great degree on the times and who is doing the writing. That is particularly true when dealing with a chief executive who has been suddenly and terribly taken from us while in office. The years have considerably tarnished the image. It is all right to remember and grieve again but that should be tempered with an understanding of clay feet and reality.

The image shows smoke rising from the Aleppo Industrial City as a result of heavy shelling Saturday near Aleppo, Syria. A string of government airstrikes on rebel-held areas in northern Syria killed scores of people Saturday, activists said, as al-Qaida-linked rebels captured one of the country’s major oil fields in the east.

Activists: Government airstrikes kill 44 in Syria BEIRUT (AP) — A string of government airstrikes on rebel-held areas in northern Syria killed at least 44 people Saturday, activists said, as al-Qaida-linked rebels captured one of the country’s major oil fields in the east.

An attack on the rebel-held town of al-Bab near the northern city of Aleppo was the deadliest of the three raids, killing 22 people, said Rami Abdurrahman, the director of the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.

Fighter jets also bombed two rebel-held districts of Aleppo, Syria’s largest city.

Government warplanes missed their target in the Halwaniyeh neighborhood and sent bombs into a crowded vegetable market, killing 15 people, Abdurrahman said.

Seven people died in a third airstrike in the Karam el-Beik district, according to the activist group. The Observatory has been documenting the conflict by relying on a network of activists on the ground.

Air power has been Syrian President Bashar Assad’s greatest advantage in the civil war.

Over the past year, his forces have exploited it in a wide-ranging offensive to push back rebel gains in the north and around the capital, Damascus.

Briefs NY Marine who guarded FDR dies at 93 SOUTH GLENS FALLS, N.Y. — Dante J. Orsini Sr., a former Marine who guarded President Franklin D. Roosevelt during his “Day of Infamy” speech after the Pearl Harbor attack, has died at age 93.

The Scott & Barbieri Family Funeral Homes said Orsini died Wednesday at a hospital near his home in South Glens Falls.

A cause of death wasn’t released.

Orsini enlisted in the Marine Corps in 1940 and was assigned to the White House security detail guarding FDR. He was among the Marines inside the House of Representatives on Dec. 8, 1941, when the president delivered his speech before a joint session of Congress a day after the Japanese attack on Hawaii.

Orsini later served in the Pacific at Guam, Okinawa and China.

His funeral and burial are Monday in South Glens Falls.

Kurdish areas of northern Syria.

In the Damascus’ eastern Ghouta suburb, the Observatory said fierce fighting overnight with government forces killed 25 rebels — including six local commanders. It added that many soldiers were killed in the battles.

There was no mention of the fighting in official Syrian media.

Also Saturday, a progovernment television station said gunmen fired at a vehicle belonging to a Syrian Cabinet minister, killing his driver. Al-Ekhbariya said Minister Ali Haider was not in the car when it came under fire while traveling on a highway that links the central city of Hama with Tartous on the Mediterranean coast. A government media office confirmed the report. Syria’s civil war started as a peaceful uprising against Assad that deteriorated into all-out civil war after a government forces violently cracked down on protesters.

The conflict has killed some 120,000 people, activists say. The United Nations said in July that 100,000 Syrians have been killed, and has not updated that figure since. Millions of Syrians have been uprooted from their homes because of the fighting.

ernment now imports refined fuel supplies to keep up with demand amid shortages and rising prices.

In late 2012, rebels began seizing oil fields in Deir el-Zour, one of two main centers of oil production. In February, they captured the large Jbeysa oil field after three days of fighting. A year ago, rebels briefly captured al-Omar field — only to lose it to government troops days later.

Rebels largely have been unable to benefit from the oil fields. The country’s two refineries remain under government control and the threat of airstrikes make working the fields difficult.

Rebels fired mortar rounds Saturday at the oil refinery in the central city of Homs, setting ablaze a tank carrying thousands of liters (gallons) of fuel, a local official in the city told the AP. Firefighters fought to control the blaze, which threatened to spread to a larger tank nearby, the official said. He spoke on condition of anonymity in line with regulations.

In the predominantly Kurdish northeastern town of Qamishli, a car bomb exploded at a local police station, killing two, the Observatory said. The bombing comes as Kurdish fighters battle jihadis in predominantly

French film director Georges Lautner dies at 87 PARIS (AP) — Director Georges Lautner, whose films from the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s are part of the French canon and still adored, has died.

He was 87. The cause of death was not announced.

Of the dozens of films he made, “Les Tontons Flingeurs,” which appeared as “Monsieur Gangster” for Anglophone audiences, was perhaps the most beloved.

His films were often hilarious and wildly popular; lines from several have entered the popular imagination and quoted almost as if proverbs. His movies are still frequently screened on French television.

Lautner is credited with guiding a generation of actors, including JeanPaul Belmondo.

On Saturday, President Francois Hollande lamented Lautner’s passing a day earlier, noting that his movies were “great popular comedies that became cult films of our cinematic heritage.”

Syrian state television confirmed the fighter jets were in the north, but said they targeted “gatherings of terrorists” in Aleppo, killing a large number of them. Syrian state media routinely refers to rebels fighting to topple Assad’s government as terrorists.

Another activist group, the Aleppo Media Network, confirmed Saturday’s airstrikes and posted a video of what it says was the aftermath of the al-Bab raid. Plumes of smoke rose from twisted metal and chunks of broken-up concrete strewn on the ground in the video.

The video appeared authentic and was consistent with The Associated Press’ reporting of the airstrikes.

Meanwhile, fighters from al-Qaida-linked Jabhat al-Nusra ousted government troops from the al-Omar field Saturday during an overnight battle, Abdurrahman said.

Syrian state media and officials did not mention it.

It is not clear if the field is operational. Before the uprising began in early 2011, the oil revenues provided around a quarter of the government’s budget. In 2010, Syria produced about 380,000 barrels a day.

Oil exports have ground to nearly a standstill since. Assad’s gov-

Vikings: Starting strong

Top Aviators, 54-32 Staff Reports

VANDALIA — Miami East isn’t used to playing on opening weekend.

But the Vikings looked no less dangerous.

Miami East (1-0) led from start to finish Saturday night at Butler, letting the Aviators back into it at times but eventually pulling away too far to catch up in a 54-32 victory.

“It’s a little different look for us,” Miami East coach Preston Elifritz said. “We’re used to getting a little bit of a later start. But even though we had the girls in the gym a little earlier than the last two seasons, we still only had about two or three weeks of practice instead of the full four. But we still have everything we need to be successful.”

The Current twins were a big part of that success Saturday night.

Trina Current scored a gamehigh 19 points and had nine rebounds and Ashley Current had a double-double with 12 points and

12 boards. Combined, the duo went 15 for 16 from the free throw line in the game.

Emily Kindell hit a pair of 3s and added eight points and Angie Mack had six in the win — which was convincing at times, messy at others.

“We’d go on a run and look very, very good,” Elifritz said. “But then we’d make some silly turnovers.

We’re still trying to find our identity a little bit. But this was still a good start against a Division I program. It was a good test for us.”

Miami East will face Arcanum Tuesday.

Piqua 67, Bethel 18 PIQUA — The Piqua Indians were in control from the start in a 67-18 win over Bethel Saturday in non-conference action at Garbry Gymnasium.

Piqua came out on fire, hitting 10 of 15 shots from the floor, while Bethel did not See VIKINGS | 12

WHAT’S INSIDE Scoreboard..............................................A8 College football........................................A9 College basketball...................................A11

Up, down Bengals lead AFC North No dull moments with this Bengals team.

There’s always something big going on.

Big lulls followed by big comebacks. A Hail Mary pass that ties the game followed by a loss in overtime. Andy Dalton setting club records for touchdowns one month, throwing interception after interception the next month.

And maybe that’s the personality of a team that seems to play its best after putting itself behind. As coach Marvin Lewis put it, “I guess we will continue to major in thrilling at this point.”

The real thrills — or yet another huge disappointment — are still to come.

ond-half scoring passes of 24 and 39 yards, respectively. He was still in the game early in the fourth quarter, and his long pass to Smith made it 42-0 as the Buckeyes tried to grab the attention of BCS poll voters with a landslide margin.

“It’s just striving for the best,” Miller said.

“We ended the season 12-0 last year and we weren’t able to play in a bowl game or the Big Ten championship game (because of NCAA sanctions).

That’s what we were striving for. (We want to) accomplish that and keep going forward, keep winning games and just make Ohio State proud.”

It was one rough day for the Hoosiers.

Kicker Mitch Ewald came in a perfect 8 for 8 on field goals, but his 42-yard attempt in the second quarter clanked off the right upright and a 36-yard try in the third quarter did the same thing off the left upright.

The Hoosiers’ points came on Nate Sudfeld’s 4-yard pass to Shane Wynn and 25-yard pass to D’Angelo Roberts in the final 6 minutes.

“We put up a lot of yards today,” said Sudfeld, who completed 25 of 41 passes for 224 yards. “But we weren’t able to finish.

Tippecanoe football’s senior class has been forced to listen to all the talk for a long time.

“They won’t be as good as the 2002 or 2009 class.”

“They play a weak nonleague schedule. They w o n ’ t match up against the better teams.”

“They m i g h t get to the playoffs every year, but Josh Brown once they see that real competition, they won’t be able to hang.”

Competition doesn’t get much more real than Trotwood.

And Tippecanoe did a lot better than simply “hang.”

The Red Devils, long looked at by the area’s football pundits as overrated, proved that, yes, you should believe the hype. They went toe-totoe with the Rams — who have been to three straight state championship games and won it all two seasons ago — and even had a chance to win the game in the fourth quarter. And even though Trotwood was able to make the play it needed exactly when it needed it, Tippecanoe still showed that they were on the same level and belong in the same conversation when it comes to great football teams.

Led by a senior class that has achieved since they took over the varsity team as sophomores, the Red Devils won more games and went farther into the playoffs than any Tippecanoe team ever has. The Devils won their first 12 games in a row — including a perfect regular season — and won their first Central Buckeye Conference Kenton Trail Division title since 2009, as well as their first outright one since 2007.

But that wasn’t good enough for some, who still look at the CBC as a top-heavy league. And

From left, Ohio State’s Tyvis Powell, Corey Brown and Noah Pence surround an Indiana ballcarrier Saturday at Ohio Stadium. The Buckeyes won their 23rd game in a row, 42-14.

No surprises for OSU COLUMBUS (AP) — Urban Meyer knows how difficult it is to avoid upsets in college football.

To do it for two years in a row is almost unbelievable.

“Every once in a while I’ll take a peek at the scoreboard and think, ‘Ooh. What happened there?’” the Ohio State coach said after the fourthranked Buckeyes rolled over Indiana 42-14 on Saturday.

“For this team to (win) 23 times in a row, that’s an incredible testimony to the players and coaches.”

Braxton Miller ran for 144 yards and two touchdowns and passed for two more as the Buckeyes set a school record for consecutive wins. Meyer, who won two national championships at Florida, refused to measure his current team against his titlewinning squads with the Gators.

“If you’re asking me to compare, I don’t know if you can,” he said. “I’d have to go back and really, really think about it. I know this team is playing at a very, very high level. They’re focused each week. That’s our job to maintain focus again this week.”

In the waning moments, the remnants of a crowd of 104,990 loudly sang, “We don’t give a

damn for the whole state of Michigan.”

The Buckeyes (11-0, 7-0 Big Ten) close out the regular season at The Big House next Saturday against their archrivals.

“I can’t wait,” said Carlos Hyde, who had 117 yards rushing and two touchdowns while becoming the first running back to top 1,000 yards in Meyer’s 12 years as a head coach.

“It’s a big game. One of the biggest rivalries in college football.”

Saturday’s game was played at times in swirling clouds of snow with tempera-

tures in the 20s. It was all but over at halftime after Ohio State built a 28-0 lead.

The victory put the Buckeyes in the conference championship game on Dec. 7 against Michigan State.

Ohio State’s defense — led by linebacker Ryan Shazier’s 20 tackles — throttled the Hoosiers (4-7, 2-5), who came in averaging 39 points.

Miller completed 11 of 17 passes for 160 yards with one interception, hitting Dontre Wilson and Devin Smith on sec-

’Bama cruises past Chattanooga, Oregon falls TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) — AJ McCarron passed for two touchdowns and became No. 1 Alabama’s winningest quarterback as the No. 1 Crimson Tide cruised to a 49-0 victory over Chattanooga.

McCarron completed 13 of 16 passes for 171 yards before leaving one drive into the second half of his final game at BryantDenny Stadium for the Crimson Tide (11-0). He improved to 36-2 as a starter, breaking a tie with Jay Barker for the school mark.

McCarron and Alabama got an easy tuneup for the Iron Bowl against No. 6 Auburn to determine the Southeastern Conference Western Division champion.

No. 2 Fla. St. 80, Idaho 14 TA L LA H A S S E E , Fla. — Jameis Winston threw for 225 yards and four touchdowns as No. 2 Florida State broke a school record for points in a game.

Florida State (110) broke the school record of 77 points scored in 1995 to remain unbeaten.

Arizona 42, No. 5 Oregon 16 TUCSON, Ariz. — Ka’Deem Carey ran for 206 yards and four touchdowns while becoming Arizona’s

all-time leading rusher.

Coming off a disappointing home loss to Washington State, Arizona (7-4, 4-4 Pac-12) didn’t back off the throttle of its up-tempo offense against the fast-paced Ducks.

No. 7 Clemson 52, The Citadel 6 CLEMSON, S.C. — Tajh Boyd threw for five touchdowns and 288 yards in the final home game of his career.

The game was more of a celebration than a contest for the Tigers (101), who now have not lost in 28 games against Football Championship Subdivision opponents.

No. 18 LSU 34, No. 9 TEXAS A&M 10 BATON ROUGE, La. — Terrance Magee rushed for a career-high 149 yards and LSU’s defense pulled the plug on Johnny Manziel and Texas A&M’s videogame offense.

Zach Mettenberger completed 11-of-20 passes for 193 yards and two touchdowns on a cold, wet and windy afternoon.

Jarvis Landry highlighted his fourcatch, 87-yard performances with touchdowns of 40 and 10 yards. LSU (8-3, 4-3 Southeastern

Conference) piled up 324 yards on the ground and outgained Texas A&M (8-3, 4-3) in total yards, 517-299.

No. 10 Stanford 63, California 13 STANFORD, Calif.

— Ty Montgomery matched a Stanford school record with five touchdowns, scoring the first four times he touched the ball, and the Cardinal clinched a spot in the Pac-12 championship game with Oregon’s loss.

Kevin Hogan threw four of his five scoring passes to Montgomery, including a 9-yard completion just before halftime that put Stanford ahead 42-13.

The Cardinal (9-2, 7-2 Pac-12) bounced back from last week’s loss at USC but needed No. 5 Oregon to lose one of its final two games to earn a spot in the conference championship. The Ducks lost 42-16 in Tucson, and Stanford’s fans led chants of “Arizona!

Arizona!”

No. 12 S. Carolina 70, Coastal Carolina 10 COLUMBIA, S.C. — Connor Shaw passed for a touchdown and ran for a score in less than a quarter of work as South Carolina

scored the most points in Steve Spurrier’s nine seasons as coach.

The Gamecocks (9-2) scored on their first six possessions and surpassed their output from a 69-24 win over Troy in 2010. And it came with South Carolina resting several starters for rival Clemson next Saturday night, including defensive linemen Jadeveon Clowney and Kelcy Quarles and the Southeastern Conference’s leading rusher in Mike Davis.

No. 13 Mich. St. 30, Northwestern 6 EVANSTON, Ill. — Connor Cook threw for a career-high 293 yards, Jeremy Langford ran for 150, and Michigan State clinched a spot in the Big Ten title game.

Cook threw for two touchdowns.

Langford ran for two scores, and the Spartans (10-1, 7-0) reached the conference title game for the second time in three years.

No. 15 Fresno St. 69, New Mexico 28 FRESNO, Calif. — Derek Carr threw for 527 yards and a school-record seven touchdowns in his final regularseason home game and Fresno State clinched a spot in the

Mountain West title game.

Davante Adams had nine catches for 246 yards and four scores and Josh Harper added 10 for 161 and three TDs as the Bulldogs (10-0, 7-0) gained a schoolrecord 820 yards and clinched first place in the West Division.

They will likely host the conference championship game on Dec. 7 as long as they remain ahead of the Mountain Division winner in the BCS standings.

No. 16 Wisconsin 20, Minnesota 7 MINNEAPOLIS — James White rushed for 125 yards and a touchdown and No. 16 Wisconsin beat Minnesota for the 10th straight time.

Jared Abbrederis had seven catches for 67 yards and a touchdown and Chris Borland recovered two fumbles and forced one to tie the NCAA record for career fumbles caused. After the game, the Badgers (9-2, 6-1 Big Ten) hoisted Paul Bunyan’s Axe and used it to chop the Gophers goal post when the time ran out.

No. 21 Louisville 24, Memphis 17 LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Teddy Bridgewater threw for 220 yards

and a touchdown in what could be his final home game for Louisville.

The Cardinals used a 17-point surge over the second and third quarters to provide a cushion.

No. 22 Oklahoma 41, Kansas State 31 M A N H AT TA N, Kan. — Brennan Clay ran for a careerhigh 200 yards and two touchdowns and Sooners coach Bob Stoops moved past Barry Switzer for the most wins in school history.

It was the 157th victory at Oklahoma for Stoops, and it came against his former mentor. Stoops was a defensive assistant under Kansas State coach Bill Snyder from 1989-95.

No. 25 Duke 28, Wake Forest 21 W I N S T O N SALEM, N.C. — Anthony Boone threw three touchdown passes and No. 25 Duke held on for its seventh straight win.

Brandon Connette rushed 3 yards for the go-ahead score late in the third quarter and Boone was 24 of 29 for 256 yards.

The Blue Devils (9-2, 5-2 ACC) fell behind 14-0 before rallying to match the school record for victories and remain in control of the Coastal Division.

OSU I don’t know why.”

After scoring at least 28 points in 10 consecutive games, the Hoosiers have managed just 17 points in consecutive losses to Wisconsin (51-3) and the Buckeyes. They finished with 442 yards to 471 for the Buckeyes, but were outrushed 311-122.

“The stats look a little close except the scoreboard,” Indiana coach Kevin Wilson said.

“And that’s the one that counts.”

The Buckeyes inflicted enough damage in the first half to reserve a spot in the Big Ten title game.

On their third snap from center, Miller found a gaping hole on a draw and picked up 41 yards.

Hyde then sidestepped a tackler at the line of scrimmage and thundered in on a 16-yard run.

Miller got his first scoring run of the day when he scampered through another huge hole and then vaulted into the end zone at the right post for a 37-yard TD. Bradley Roby’s blocked punt led to Miller’s 5-yard TD run — he was upended by cornerback Tim Bennett, placing the ball’s nose on the goal line as he came crashing down on his head.

The Ohio State defense smothers an Indiana ballcarrier Saturday.

He wasn’t hurt.

“Everybody asked me on the sideline when I came off,” he said with a laugh. “But I’m good. I’m fine.”

The Buckeyes snapped a tie for the school record with the 1967-69 Ohio State teams, which also won 22 in a row. That streak ended with a painful loss at Michigan — a defeat that touched off

the famous “Ten-Year War” between Woody Hayes and his former assistant and nemesis, Bo Schembechler.

Meyer will undoubtedly remind his team of that defeat in the coming days. “(Athletic director) Gene Smith came down to present our players with the game ball for having the longest winning streak in Ohio State

history,” Meyer said. “We kind of avoided that thing like a team going through a no-hitter. Now that we have it, we’ve talked about it, and it’s over.

“And we can move on to rivalry week.”

Ohio State’s Dontre Willis carries the ball Saturday against Indiana.

A team of extremes AP file photo

Pittsburgh Steelers offensive tackle Marcus Gilbert, left, and Cleveland Browns defensive tackle Phillip Taylor (98) argue after a fumble during a game Jan. 1, 2012 in Cleveland.

Browns ready to duke it out care of what we’ve got to do and focus on our individual battles.

“This game’s going to be a crucial one and one that we need to win.”

The dislike between the Steelers and Browns goes back decades.

Earlier this week, Cleveland coach Rob Chudzinski, a life-long Browns fan, referenced the infamous play in 1976 when Browns defensive lineman Joe “Turkey” Jones picked up Steelers quarterback Terry Bradshaw and slammed the Hall of Famer on his head.

The fact that Jones’ notorious sack was the first thing Chudzinski mentioned when talking about one of the league’s saltiest rivalries, underscores the angst between the Rust Belt cities.

Last year’s season finale between the teams disintegrated into a barroom brawl.

Although nothing as sinister as planting a quarterback head first into the turf, there was extra-curricular activities that drew personal fouls and thickened the bad blood between the AFC North neighbors.

In the third quarter, Browns nose tackle Phil Taylor blindsided Steelers tackle Kelvin Beachum with a forearm smash.

CINCINNATI (AP) — No dull moments with this Bengals team.

There’s always something big going on.

Big lulls followed by big comebacks. A Hail Mary pass that ties the game followed by a loss in overtime. Andy Dalton setting club records for touchdowns one month, throwing interception after interception the next month.

And maybe that’s the personality of a team that seems to play its best after putting itself behind. As coach Marvin Lewis put it, “I guess we will continue to major in thrilling at this point.”

The real thrills — or yet another huge disappointment — are still to come.

The Bengals (7-4) have taken control of the AFC North with the toughest stretch of their schedule behind them. They’ve got a two-game lead in the loss column over Baltimore, Pittsburgh and Cleveland, all 4-6 heading into the weekend.

They have a lateseason bye that should get them closer to full strength for the final push. Only one of their final five games involves an opponent that currently has a winning record — Indianapolis, and they’ll get to face the

Colts at home.

Three of the last five will be at Paul Brown Stadium, where the Bengals are 5-0 this season.

All they need is a few more wins and they’ll not only be headed to the postseason for the third year in a row — something the Bengals have never done — but they’ll be in the running for home-field advantage deep into the playoffs.

They were in very good shape heading into the bye-week break.

“We’re first in the division and we’ve got more than a two-game lead and the truth is you’ve done something obviously pretty good to be to this point,” offensive tackle Andrew Whitworth said.

“So I don’t think there’s any point to putting ourselves down.

“Let’s find out where we can be even better and finish this thing the way we need to and we’ll be right where we want to be.”

The Bengals’ two defining traits so far have been inconsistency and resiliency.

They got off to a 14-0 lead against Green Bay, fell behind 30-14 then rallied for a 34-30 win.

They’ve gone to overtime three times, losing twice. Against the Browns last Sunday, they

fell behind 13-0 in the first quarter and scored a club-record 31 points in the second quarter to win going away.

A focal point in the last five games will be third-year quarterback Andy Dalton, who has epitomized the theme of extremes.

Dalton was the AFC’s offensive player for October, leading the Bengals to a 4-0 mark in the month. He completed 68 percent of his passes and threw for 11 touchdowns in a three-game span, something no other Bengals quarterback has accomplished.

By comparison, he’s been dreadful in his last three games. Dalton has completed only 53 percent of his passes with five touchdowns and eight interceptions, two of which were returned for touchdowns.

During a 41-20 win over the Browns on Sunday, Dalton threw for only 93 yards and had a passer rating of 62.7, which was still his highest in the last three games. The Bengals lost two of the three.

On Dalton’s first interception against the Browns, receiver A.J. Green turned inside and Dalton threw it the other way. Lewis said some of the problems the last few games were the result of

how receivers ran their routes.

“The quarterback’s got to play care-free where he can deliver the ball and know where the receiver is going to be,” Lewis said. “It can’t be happenstance. He’s got to know it. We’ve got to get back and do it right, and we’re going to push hard at that.”

With a defense that’s been ranked in the Top 10 all season and special teams making an impact each week, the Bengals don’t need for Dalton to be great, just steady.

“I’m never worried about No. 14,” Whitworth said. “Even in the bad runs, he’s come out of it and found a way to be successful and to lead us. He’ll do that.”

In his first two years, Dalton struggled at the end of the season when the games meant the most.

He had two of his worst games during playoff losses at Houston in the first round each of the last two seasons.

Those losses left the Bengals 0-4 in the postseason under Lewis.

They haven’t won a playoff game since the 1990 season, which is the longest current streak of postseason futility in the league and tied for seventh-longest in NFL history.

BEREA (AP) — The forecast is for cold, bitter and vicious conditions.

The weather’s supposed to be bad, too.

When the Pittsburgh Steelers and Cleveland Browns renew their heated rivalry and hatred for each other today, there is bound to be a few extra shoves, a handful of late hits and maybe even some illegal cheap shots.

It’s always that way.

“I expect it to be nasty,” said Browns running back Willis McGahee. “It’s a rivalry game, a division game.”

And for the first time in a while, a meaningful one.

With both teams at 4-6 and still in the hunt for a playoff spot, there’s more on the line than in previous years. But even when there’s nothing to play for, and although the rivalry has been onesided toward Pittsburgh for years, there’s enough animosity between the Steelers and Browns — and their fans — to make it a chippy game.

“You could use the word ‘hate,’” Browns defensive tackle Ahtyba Rubin said when asked for his feelings about the Steelers.

“A lot of people around here would use that word.

At the same time, we just want to go out there and have a good game and make sure that we take

No. 3 Louisville beats Fairfield 71-57 enough cushion to absorb a rally that would get the Colonials within five points with 8 minutes left, but no closer.

Joining Forbes in double figures were Charlie Lee with 17 points, Anton Grady and Trey Lewis with 13 apiece, Jon Harris with 11 and Sebastian Douglas with 10.

The Vikings finished 23 of 45 from the field for 51.1 percent, including 7 of 17 from the 3-point arc, 41.2 percent.

Jeremiah Worthem scored 16 points, Karvel Anderson 14 and Lucky Jones 13 for Robert Morris.

Wilmington 65, Miami (OH) 63 OXFORD (AP) — R.J. Leppert hit the first of back-to-back 3-pointers, leading a 15-3 run to give Wilmington (Ohio) a 65-63 win Saturday over Miami (Ohio).

Leppert hit a 3-pointer to pull Wilmington (1-1) within two with 2:21 remaining. Miami (0-4) missed a three-point shot before Klarke Ransome hit his 3-pointer, giving the Quakers a 63-62 lead with 1:42 to play.

Leppert made two free throws to close the scoring for the Quakers.

The Redhawks’ Quinten Rollins was fouled with five seconds remaining, yet made only one of two free throws. Leppert grabbed the rebound from Rollins’ miss to end

18 points, to lead Ohio to an 85-57 win over Heidelberg Saturday.

Jon Smith contributed 17 points and pulled down 8 rebounds as Ohio (4-1) struggled in the early going but took control in the second half.

Maurice Ndour had 11 rebounds for the Bobcats.

Heidelberg (1-2) had a 24-22 advantage with 6:54 remaining in the first quarter. Kellogg made two free throws to tie the score and made a three-point jump shot the next trip down the court to put the Bobcats out front 27-24. They built that to a 38-29 halftime advantage.

Keith Mackie hit a 3-pointer early in the second period to pull Heidelberg to within three 38-35. Mackie hit another 3-pointer with 16:08 remaining to close the gap to 43-40. A Smith dunk stretched it back to five. The Bobcats gradually extended the lead from that point.

Cleveland St. 87, Robert Morris 74 CLEVELAND — Bryn Forbes led six Cleveland State players in double figures with 18 points as the Vikings defeated Robert Morris 87-74 on Saturday.

The Vikings (3-2), leading 33-29 at the half, built their lead to 18 points by outscoring the Colonials (3-3) 20-6 over the first 6 minutes of the second half. That would be

The Redhawks had led 60-50 with just under eight minutes to play, yet

UNCASVILLE, Conn.

(AP) — Louisville’s 21st straight win wasn’t what Rick Pitino would have liked it to be.

Chris Jones scored 15 points and Montrezl Harrell added 14 points and 12 rebounds to lead the No. 3 Cardinals to a 71-57 victory over Fairfield on Saturday in the Hall of Fame Tipoff Tournament.

But the Cardinals (5-0) committed 26 fouls and turned the ball over 14 times against the Stags (1-4).

“Tonight we were just flat in every phase of the game,” Pitino said. “We were flat offensively with only nine assists. Our two point guards turned it over eight times, which they haven’t been doing. We didn’t do the little things necessary to exploit the weaknesses of Fairfield. We were late to the glass a lot. A lot of things were disturbing but we’ll go ahead.”

Maurice Barrow paced Fairfield (1-4) with 14 points and Marcus Gilbert chipped in with 11.

Louisville, which has three national titles, will be looking for its 27th title in a regular-season tournament when it faces No. 24 North Carolina in Sunday’s championship game. The Tar Heels beat Richmond, 82-72 in Saturday’s first semifinal.

“This wasn’t a close game,” Pitino said.

“You’re going to see close (Sunday). That’s if we don’t get blown out. If we play this way tomorrow, it won’t even be a game.

I think their size is going to give us a little trouble.

They do a lot of good things defensively and they’re long. They offensive rebound very well.”

The Stags stayed with the Cardinals for much of the first half and led 11-9 midway through it.

But Louisville went on a 28-12 run to close the half and led by as many as 21 after the break.

Louisville, which was playing its first game away from home this season, got a balanced scoring effort. Wayne Blackshear had 11 points and Russ Smith added 10 points and seven rebounds. Luke Hancock, who has been recovering from a strained left Achilles, had nine points in 17 minutes, and was 7 of 7 from the foul line.

This was the Cardinals first game away from home this season, and Hancock said the energy just wasn’t there.

“We’ve had every game in front of big crowds at the Yum! Center,” he said. “They had a lot more fans. We just didn’t come out with enough energy. We’ve got to come next time right from the start, especially against Carolina.”

The teams combined for 53 fouls in what was far from a crisp contest.

No. 24 UNC 82, Richmond 72 UNCASVILLE, Conn.

— Marcus Paige scored 26 points and Brice Johnson added 24 to help No. 24 North Carolina bounced back from its first loss of the season with an 82-72 win over Richmond in the Hall of Fame Tipoff Tournament.

The Tar Heels (3-1) trailed for much of the first half, before making a run that sent them into halftime with a threepoint lead.

They were up 66-62 with just under 4 minutes to play when Richmond’s Terry Allen picked up his fourth foul. Johnson hit a put-back that started the run that gave the Tar Heels control of the game. A Paige 3-pointer made it 71-62 and North Carolina held on down the stretch.

Brown From page A1 when the Devils won a first-round playoff game for only the third time ever, they still beat a division foe, Kenton Ridge.

It wasn’t until a thrilling 30-13 victory over an athletic and explosive Thurgood Marshall team in the Division III, Region 10 semifinal round that people outside of Tipp City proper began to realize and admit just how good the Devils were. But still, the spectre of Trotwood-Madison — which flat-out embarrassed teams most of the season — and the regional championship matchup hung over their heads.

To the Devils, though, none of it mattered. They were happy that they had

reached the first regional title game in the program’s history — but they also knew they were capable of more.

Now everyone does.

Trotwood was easily bigger. Athletes all over the field. Speed, size and raw talent the likes of which no Tippecanoe team has ever faced before. But the Red Devils did what they’ve always done — played their game. They marched down the field on the game’s opening drive, not even once giving the ball to leading rusher Jacob Hall, and Cameron Johnson capped off an 80-yard all-rushing drive with an 11-yard touchdown to give the

Devils a 7-0 lead.

Trotwood — which never truly looked like the devastating world beaters that everyone made them out to be — finally got things going in the second quarter. Once they figured out how to stop the Tippecanoe offense, they got a couple of consecutive scores to take a 12-7 lead at the half. And while the Ram defense remained tough in the third, they simply couldn’t put Tippecanoe away.

And late in the third and early into the fourth, that giant defensive line began sucking wind, not being used to being on the field for so long.

The Devils had worn

them down, and Hall began to do what he does — take over the game.

Tippecanoe’s offensive line cleared the way, and Hall broke off nice run after nice run, 22 yards here, 16 yards there, 8 and then 10 more — and the Devils were knocking on the door, second-and-6 at the Ram 16-yard line, fully ready to take a 14-12 lead with roughly 10 minutes left.

And that’s when it happened.

With Hall fighting as hard as he good against the pile, fighting for one or two more yards, fighting to put his team up, fighting for the respect his team deserves, a Trotwood defender

reached in, grabbed the ball directly out of his arms and took it 84 yards the other way for a momentum-swinging touchdown.

It was one of those plays where things could have been blown dead at any point due to the stoppage of forward progress — Hall was pushing the pile for a good three or four full seconds before the ball was stolen from him — and all the fans packing the stadium were shocked when they saw Kei Beckham running the other way with the ball, no whistles having been blown. But it was a judgement call, and a legitimate one, and Tippecanoe was left desperately trying to

find a way back into it.

A Trotwood interception on a hail mary and a meaningless touchdown made the final score, 25-7, deceiving.

The Rams were not 18 points better than the Red Devils.

Only one play better.

One way or another, Charlie Burgbacher’s team proved to everyone what it is capable of. The Devils validated all of the work they’ve put in and all of the accomplishments they’ve piled up over the years — even if they already had done that in the eyes of those closest to the team.

And most of all, they earned everyone’s respect.

Tasha Potts led a balanced Piqua scoring

attack with 15 points as the Indians led 37-5 at halftime and increased it to 55-9 after three quarters.

Jill Callaham led Bethel

Bradford 52, Newton 43 BRADFORD — The Bradford Railroaders used a 15-3 second-quarter run to take a commanding lead at the half, cruising from there in a 52-43 opening night win over Cross County Conference rival Newton Friday.

Brooke Dunlevy led all scorers with 13 points for Bradford (1-0, 1-0 CCC), one of five Railroaders to score six or more points in a balanced effort. Bree Bates added nine points, Gabby Fair scored seven and Brooke Brower, Haley Patty and Michayla Barga each had six.

Megan Rutledge scored 12 points to lead the Indians (0-1, 0-1), Madison Mollette added 11 and Trelissa Lavy scored seven.

Houston 50, Covington 39 HOUSTON — The Covington girls basketball team showed its scrappiness, but Houston made the shots when they counted down the stretch as the Wildcats posted a 50-39 victory in the opener for both teams Friday night.

Cassidy Cain led Covington with 15 points and Morgan McReynolds added a double-double with 10 points and 11 rebounds.

Fort Loramie 82, Lehman 14

FORT LORAMIE — New Lehman girls basketball coach Craig Hall got a rude welcoming to the varsity ranks Friday night when he took his team to play defending Division IV state champion Fort Loramie in the season opener for both schools. The powerful Redkins rolled to an 82-14 victory over the Cavaliers, taking 30 more shots and grabbing 21 more rebounds in the dominating effort.

Darian Rose scored 21 to lead Fort Loramie (1-0) and Renae Meyer added 14.

Maddie Franklin led Lehman with four points as the Cavs (0-1) were 5 for 28 from the field in the game.
