Killer dino found in Utah; preceded T. rex NEW YORK (AP) — Scientists have discovered a killer dinosaur that roamed in what is now Utah some 100 million years ago. Experts say the discovery provides insight into the top predators in North America before T. rex showed up. The two-legged beast was more than 30 feet long and weighed more than 4 tons. It helps fill a gap in the fossil record of North American big predators before the arrival of the group including T. rex. It wasn’t related to that famous beast. See page 11.

Winner declared in Bradford BOE Staff report

TROY — Proving that in an election every single vote counts, a winner was finally declared Friday by the Miami County Board of Elections in the race for the third seat on the Bradford Board of Education.

The elections board certified the results from the Nov. 5 general election, and in doing so it was declared that Stanley Roberts Jr. beat out his competitor, Carolyn Smith, by only one vote. Roberts secured 202 votes and Smith received 201, said Drew Higgins,

board of elections director. After compiling ballot results from Miami, Shelby and Darke counties, aside from provisional ballots cast in Darke County, the race was a tie. Higgins said three provisional ballots opened and tabulated from Darke County on Thursday was

the deciding factor in the race. Due to how close the race was there will likely be a mandatory recount in accordance with state law. State election law mandates that if the difference in votes in any given race is less than one half of 1 percent then a recount

“Last year our local campaign collected nearly 5,000 toys and assisted 2,729 children in Miami and Shelby counties, as well as the Minster area in Auglaize county,” Upper Miami Valley Toys for Tots coordinator Bob Bloom said. As the coordinator Bloom, a firefighter paramedic for the city of Piqua Fire Department, works with organizations that handle the distribution including the Salivation Army (Piqua and Sidney), Partners in Hope, Needy Basket of Tipp City, Miami County Children’s Service and Chuck’s Needy Kids in Sidney.

Staff report TROY —In the last two weeks, 11 cases of children testing positive for pertussis, otherwise known as whooping cough, have been reported by Dayton Children’s Hospital. The illness is highly contagious and one of the most commonly occurring vaccine-preventable diseases in the United States. Miami County Health Commissioner Christopher Cook said the illness is easily preventable with a vaccine. Those most at risk, he said, are children and the elderly. “It starts out as a common cold and the first symptoms usually appear after a week,” Cook said in an earlier interview. “Then it will progress and you will get a really bad cough. … Whooping cough comes from the sound a person makes when people get into really bad coughing fits. They must inhale deeply, and that creates the ‘whooping’ sound.” To prevent pertussis the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends the following, especially since the approaching holiday season could help whooping cough spread: • Wash hands thoroughly. • Keep children away from anyone who is coughing and sneezing. • Vaccinate your children, teens and yourself. Combination vaccines are used to prevent diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis. The DTap vaccination is given to children younger than 7 years of age and Tdap is given to older children and adults. • Children get a dose of DTap at each of the following ages: 2 months, 4 months, 6 months, and 15-18 months and at 4 to 6 years. • The preferred age for pre-teen Tdap vaccination is 11 to 12 years old. Adolescents not previously vaccinated should receive a single dose of the vaccine. • Adults who have not previously received Tdap and are in close contact with an infant under 12 months of age should also receive the vaccine. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, an infection usually starts with flu-like symptoms: sneezing, dry cough, slight fever, loss

The mission of the Upper Miami Valley campaign of the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program is to collect new, unwrapped toys during November and December each year, and distribute those toys to needy children in our communities through local charitable organizations.

Gov’t weighs cellphone calls on planes WASHINGTON (AP) — Rules against making cellphone calls during airline flights are “outdated,” and it’s time to change them, federal regulators said Thursday, drawing immediate howls of protest from flight attendants, airline officials and others. Tom Wheeler, the new chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, said in a statement that the commission was proposing greater in-flight access to mobile broadband. The proposal will be considered at the commission’s Dec. 12 meeting. See page 7.

Kyle Sturgill, 13, of Fletcher, sends good wishes in a Christmas card to send to veterans or soldiers overseas through the Red Cross Holiday for Heroes program. Sturgill, along, with the Mr. Graham’s Museum 4-H Club and other locals, helped send more than 600 Christmas cards at a Christmas card signing party at Marion’s Piazza last week.

MIAMI COUNTY — Last week, the Mr. Graham’s Museum 4-H Club pledged their hands for greater service taking part in a community card signing party aptly called “Operation Holiday Smile Letter Brigade.”

The 4-H club was part of nearly 50 people creating and signing Christmas cards for soldiers through the American Red Cross event called “Holiday Mail for Heroes.” In less than two hours, the group gathered at Marion’s Piazza in Troy to help write 605 Christmas cards to service members stationed overseas and veteran’s hospitals. Kyle Strugill, 13, of Fletcher, had written two cards so far for the military members overseas. “I’m thanking them for protecting us,” Sturgill said. “This lets them know that we are thinking of them since they aren’t home for Christmas.” Kyle’s brother Jason, 15,

also helped his 4-H club send the nearly 11 pounds of cards to the Red Cross to distribute to servicemen and women during the holidays. “I’ve filled out a lot of cards and wished them a Merry Christmas,” Jason said. “I thanked them for their service and help keeping us free.” The 15 year-old said he enjoyed his 4-H club’s community service project because “it helps them realize they are being thought about.” Brennon Green, 13, said he enjoyed wishing soldiers over in Iraq a Merry Christmas. “I bet this helps them out over there,” Green said. “Because a solider in Iraq See SMILES | 2

JFK conspiracy theorists convene in Dallas

From Page 1 Since 1991, the TFT foundation has provided local campaigns with tens of millions of toys valued at hundreds of millions of dollars, while also providing approximately one million dollars worth of promotional and support materials to local campaigns on a yearly basis. There are nearly 25,000 Marines, Marine Corps League members, veteran Marines and volunteers involved in annual campaigns. All of those involved have one common goal — spreading joy to needy children during the holiday season. “We like to help out as much as we can. We like to help as many kids as we can,” Bloom said. The donations collected are distributed in the community where they are received. Monetary donations can be made to the local Toys for Tots campaign by visiting toysfortots.org.

DALLAS (AP) — The subject of much debate for a half-century, President John F. Kennedy’s assassination remains for some a treasure trove of unanswered questions. Friday’s anniversary attracted academics, history buffs and conspiracyminded activists to the city for another round of conversation. About 400 people attended the annual JFK Lancer conference held down the street from Dealey Plaza, the site of the official anniversary commemoration. Debora Conway, who founded the conference nearly two decades ago, compared the study of alternate assassination theories to archaeology. “We still dig up bones in the sand,” Conway said, adding: “This is just one more thing that human beings want to ask questions about.”

Cough From Page 2 of appetite or poor feeding. Oftentimes this is followed by two to six weeks of coughing spells. Vomiting or spitting up mucus may occur after the coughing spells. Pertussis typically lasts six to 10 weeks. If pertussis symptoms start, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention also recommend the following tips: • If you or your child is having trouble breathing, seek medical attention immediately. • Tell the doctor if you or your child have been around others with cough/ cold symptoms or if you’ve heard that pertussis is in your community. • Antibiotic treatment may make the pertussis infection less severe if it is started early, before coughing fits

begin. • Antibiotic treatment can help prevent the spread of the disease. In 2012, more than 900 cases of whooping cough were reported to the Ohio Department of Health, statistics show. Last year across the nation at least nine of those cases resulted in deaths, including an Ohio infant from Ashtabula County. Year-to-date information released by the state department of health shows between 2 to 7 cases have been reported in Miami County. In the last decade, 51 cases of whooping cough have been reported in Miami County. Some of those figures break down as 11 cases in 2006, five in 2007, one in 2008, seven in 2009, eight in 2010 and three in 2011.

Jayden Fogt, 9, said he was writing and drawing Christmas pictures in the cards he was signing. “They all say Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas,” Fogt said. “I bet they feel happy when they get these.” The Operation Holiday Smile Letter

Five things successful people do before 8 a.m. (and why I don’t)

XXXXX XXXXX

Good old Facebook. You can always count on someone to share an article and for about 50 other friends to do the same. If it weren’t for viral content on social media, what would we all talk about and comment on? Recently, there’s been an article published on Forbes.com circulating my friends list. The piece was written in early October, so it’s fairly new and relevant, and is titled “Five things super successful people do before 8 a.m.” The idea behind this article is great and honestly, I’m kind of surprised this has been popping up in my newsfeed so much. It’s not that I don’t have businessminded friends, actually, well, it is that I don’t have businessminded friends. I have college friends, softball students, a few coworkers, family members and then a lot of moms gracing my Facebook friend list. There are a few professionals strewn about in there, but they weren’t the ones sharing this article (maybe they’re already off being super successful somewhere). What I found about this article is that most of my friends sharing it were using it as a way not to just be successful in business, but

successful people also practice visualization. This means taking some time to “see” what you’ve got ahead of you, and to visualize it going according to plan. Apparently it helps you keep a “positive” view. Unfortunately, I’m not sure visualizing dirty diapers and getting dinner on the table is enough to keep me successful. And lastly, after all this planning and visualizing, super successful people like to make their day top heavy. This, I can get on board with. I’m so guilty of procrastinating it’s not even funny. And while it’s true I usually do my best work under a deadline, there are some things like grocery shopping and meal planning that would be nice to get out of the way earlier, you know, say not 45 minutes before dinner should be served. If getting the stuff you really don’t want to do out of the way first will make me more successful, count me in. Of course, if they can just come up with a way to have me avoid all the hard stuff all together and still be successful I’d be down with that, too. Amanda Stewart appears Saturday in the Troy Daily News. Four days until closing!

She enhances the quality of her instruction through the use of teaching strategies based on scholarly work and creates a learning environment focused on inquiry and critical thinking.

Students often voice appreciation for her calm, compassionate approach in the clinical setting and value her helpfulness. Jill works collaboratively with other faculty members to provide quality-learning experiences in the nursing simulation lab. Her work in this area impacts both student learning and faculty instruction and her leadership has ensured the successful use of simulation in the nursing program. Amanda Bylczynski, assistant professor of history, is focused on true learning for her students and pushes them to achieve their very best.

Gov’t weighs cellphone calls on planes

AP Photo A passenger check his cell phone while boarding a flight, Thursday, in Boston. The Federal Aviation Administration issued new guidelines Thursday, under which passengers will be able to use devices to read, work, play games, watch movies and listen to music, from the time they board to the time they leave the plane.

Electronics Association. Grant Seiffert, president of the telecommunications trade group, said his members see airline passengers as a new market opportunity. But the electronics association acknowledged, “Engaging in phone conversations in flight may prove technically feasible, but many may find it socially undesirable.” The association said it would be willing to work with the airline industry on promoting telephone etiquette on planes. Reaction from the airline industry and labor unions was skeptical. Flight attendants and others have worried that a plane full of chattering passengers could lead to arguments and undermine safety. “Passengers overwhelmingly reject cell-

gers making phone calls could extend beyond a mere nuisance, creating negative effects on aviation safety and security that are great and far too risky,” the flight attendants group said. “Our customer feedback indicates people may not want that policy, but of course tastes and desires change,” JetBlue spokesman Morgan Johnston said in an email. “We would prioritize making the cabin comfortable and welcoming for all — for those who want cell service and for those who like peace and quiet.” Henry H. Harteveldt, a travel analyst with Hudson Crossing, said, “There are bad ideas, and then there’s this.” “Unlike the ability to use their personal electronics and Wi-Fi from gate to gate, passengers

about to change?” Should the FCC lift its restrictions on cellphone use, airlines would still have the option of deciding whether to equip planes with picocells — small, satellite base stations — to handle calls. American Airlines spokeswoman Andrea Huguely said the airline will wait to see what the FCC does. “However, our Wi-Fi at this time doesn’t allow voice calls.” In October, the Federal Aviation Administration lifted restrictions on the use of most personal electronic devices during takeoffs and landings, but not cellphone calls, which fall under the FCC.

It will be a catalyst for increased cases of ‘air rage.’” Airline pilot and blogger Patrick Smith said permitting phone calls on planes “introduces yet another stress factor into an already stressful environment.” “Airports already are such loud places,” he said. “It’s the airplane itself, ironically, that is often the most quiet and peaceful part of the air travel experience.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Rules against making cellphone calls during airline flights are “outdated,” and it’s time to change them, federal regulators said Thursday, drawing immediate howls of protest from flight attendants, airline officials and others. Tom Wheeler, the new chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, said in a statement that the commission was proposing greater in-flight access to mobile broadband. The proposal will be considered at the commission’s Dec. 12 meeting. “The time is right to review our outdated and restrictive rules,” Wheeler said, adding that modern technologies can deliver mobile services in the air safely and reliably. The proposal would also allow passengers to use their smartphones to send email, text and download data. The proposal would apply to flights when they are over 10,000 feet in altitude, but not during takeoffs and landings. The move came just 16 days after Wheeler, a former lobbyist for the cellular telephone industry, took over the post of FCC chairman. The proposal to ease cellphone restrictions was greeted enthusiastically by the Te l e c o m m u n i c a t i o n s Industry Association and the Consumer

Locomotive back on track after $900K rehabilitation OWOSSO, Mich. (AP) — A World War II-era steam engine is back on track in central Michigan. A crowd cheered Wednesday night as the Pere Marquette 1225 steam locomotive’s whistle sounded to announce its arrival at the Steam Railroading Institute yard in Owosso, The Argus-Press reported. “Today there are only seven large locomotives like this still running in America,” said Aarne Frobom, the institute’s board chairman. “We are the only people in the world waiting for a 200ton steam locomotive right now, we have the right to feel a little special.” The steam engine was built in 1941 and was retired 16 years later. It was donated to Michigan State University in 1957 and moved in 1983 to the former Ann Arbor Railroad steam locomotive shop in Owosso. “We celebrate the rebirth of this train, which has captured the imagination of those all around the world,” said Mayor Benjamin Frederick. “Owosso is proud to have this gem in our city.” Producers of the 2004 movie “The Polar Express” used its blueprints as the prototype for the film’s digital train, and recorded its sounds for use in the film. A $345,000 grant through the Michigan Department of Transportation in 2009 got the $900,000 refurbishing project started.

I am 93, in one thinks we’re such a blessing. Many good health with fast responses, and older drivers were upset about this I’m a defensive driver. I drive below the

speed limit in the right lane, away from the lane-changers and speeders. I also drive with my right foot on the accelerator and my left foot on the brake to eliminate hitting the gas by mistake and plowing into people or buildings. Florida: What I got out of “Dead at Seven” is that parents should teach their kids not to run into the street after a ball or anything else, that kids should be taught to stop on the curb and look both ways to see whether it is safe to cross or go into the street after a ball. Maryland: I have to take issue with the good doctor describing senior drivers as a “growing danger” on the road. If a child were to run into the street, he and his parents had better hope and pray that the car that hits him belongs to a watchful, slower-moving senior and not to my 30-year old son who can’t take his foot off the gas.

Horoscope HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Saturday, Nov. 23, 2013: This year you appear more willing to take risks and step into new territory. You will choose experiences that broaden your mind.

Restaurant chains grow in Alaska ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — When the Dairy Queen opened in Anchorage in 2006, it was big news. People stood in a line that stretched for two blocks just to get an ice cream cone, and drivethru traffic backed up just as long. Residents weren’t just excited about the treats. They were elated that the Dairy Queen was in the city at all. For years, Alaska might as well have been on another planet, so far off the radar of the big national restaurant chains that those in the Lower 48 became used to — and maybe even grown tired of. It was too costly and the logistics too daunting to run a restaurant in the state. Now, restaurants are rushing in. When Olive Garden (NYSE:DRI) opened, people stood in line in the bitter winter to get a table. Buffalo Wild Wings (NASDAQ:BWLD) is in the city. Next year, Anchorage will get its first Texas Roadhouse (NASDAQ:TXRH) , a Hard Rock Cafe and Krispy Kreme doughnut shops. “We are foodies in Anchorage, and we are significant consumers,” said Bill Popp, president of the Anchorage Economic Development Corp, adding that one reason for the influx is the relative health of the local economy and people having money to spend. At $72,813, Anchorage has the second-highest median income in the U.S., only lagging behind Honolulu’s median income of $87,934, according to Popp, quoting 2011 figures from the U.S. Census Bureau. About half of Alaska’s 730,000 residents live in either Anchorage or the neighboring MatanuskaSusitna Borough. Another reason for the attraction to Anchorage is that it is a big draw for tourists as well as those who work at military bases and long for the familiar tastes of home. Hard Rock Cafe, which will open in late spring, chose downtown Anchorage “because it’s a key city in Alaska,” and expects to draw from both locals and tourists, said Scott Brokaw, who is moving from Hard Rock Cafe Universal Los Angeles to be the general manager. National chain restaurants in the city have not always been the case, mainly because of the remoteness of the state.

Killer dinosaur found in Utah; preceded T. rex NEW YORK (AP) — Scientists have discovered a killer dinosaur that roamed in what is now Utah some 100 million years ago. Experts say the discovery provides insight into the top predators in North America before T. rex showed up. The two-legged beast was more than 30 feet long and weighed more than 4 tons. It helps fill a gap in the fossil record of North American big predators before the arrival of the group including T. rex. It wasn’t related to that famous beast. Researchers from the Field Museum in Chicago and the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences in Raleigh announced the finding Friday in the journal Nature Communications. They named the beast “Siats meekerorum,” after a legend of Utah’s Ute tribe and a family that has donated to the Field Museum.

Troy’s Kennedi Kyzer goes up for two points Friday.

TROY — Kennedi Kyzer was not about to let the enormity of the moment get to her. “There’s definitely more pressure on you playing against older girls,” said Kyzer, a freshman on the Troy girls basketball team. “You are playing against juniors and seniors. As a freshman, you really aren’t used to that — but I didn’t let it intimidate me.” Kyzer showed poise beyond her years Friday night, pouring in 13 points and pulling down 10 rebounds to lead Troy

to a 45-38 win over West Carrollton in the season opener at the Trojan Activities Center. There’s a youth movement afoot for the Trojans, who started to freshmen, two sophomores and a junior — there’s not a senior on the roster — against the Pirates. After a shaky start — the Trojans trailed 8-6 at the end of the first quarter — Troy settled down in the second quarter and took a lead it would never relinquish the rest of the night. “For the first time in seven years, I really wasn’t sure what to expect from our team,” Troy coach Nathan Kopp said. “Three of our top

seven players are freshmen. Early on, we were trying to shake off the cobwebs a little bit. I think everyone was trying to figure it all out. We were like a deer in headlights early on.” Fortunately for the Trojans, however, that didn’t last too long as Kyzer and fellow freshman starter Bailey Hess led the Trojans in scoring as Troy had built a 14-10 lead by halftime. The Trojans would stretch that lead to 30-24 in the third quarter thanks in large part to junior Zechariah Bond, who scored seven of her 10 points in the third quarter.

PIQUA — Jacob Hall ran headlong into the massive pile of humanity that is the Trotwood defensive line, keeping his legs pumping and shoulder plowing in an effort to move the pile just a bit closer to the promised land. But Kei Beckham changed everything in an instant.

East graduate to run final collegiate race at NCAA Championships David Fong

Regional Sports Editor dfong@civitasmedia.com

TERRE HAUTE, Ind. — As she runs the final cross country race of her historic collegiate career, Ohio University senior Juli Accurso, a Miami East High School graduate, doesn’t play on stopping to smell any roses — but she does plan on enjoying her final race as a Bobcat. “Honestly, I haven’t gotten that emotional — I’m excited,” Accurso said. “I’ve been excited for each race so far my senior season. I think because I hope to continue running after my college career, this isn’t really and end point for me. It’s just another step in the journey. I’m going to have fun and enjoy this race.” At 1:30 p.m. today, Accurso will compete in her final collegiate race — the NCAA Division I championships — at Indiana State University. This final race will cap off a career that has seen

MIami East High School graduate Juli Accurso, shown here winning the NCAA Great Lakes Regional cross country meet last season, will compete in her final collegiate cross country race today at the NCAA Championships in Indiana.

Accurso become not only the most decorated women’s cross country runner in school history, but also the most successful in Mid-American Conference history. She’s already captured three MAC championships — the only runner in

conference history to accomplish that feat. Last week she won her secondconsecutive Great Lakes Regional title in a school record 20:00, becoming the first runner in school history to capture two regional titles. She’s a two-time Great Lakes Regional Runner of the Year, as named by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Association. She’s also been named MAC Female Scholar Athlete of the Week in numerous occasions. This will be her third trip to the NCAA Championships. Last year at the NCAA Championships, she placed 38th, good enough to earn All-America honors. She also earned All-America honors as a sophomore, becoming the first runner in MAC history to do so. All of those accolades are a little overwhelming — even to the runner earning them. “I didn’t expect any of this at all,” Accurso said. “It’s kind of funny, last See RACE | 14

Buckeyes take on Hoosiers and history today

AP photo Ohio State quarterback Braxton Miller, top left, escapes the grasp of Penn State cornerback Jordan Lucas, bottom left, as Ohio State offensive lineman Corey Linsley, right, blocks Penn State defensive tackle Kyle Baublitz during a game earlier this season.

COLUMBUS (AP) — Hoosiers and history are on the checklist for No. 4 Ohio State this Saturday. The Buckeyes carry a 22-game winning streak into their onesided series against Indiana — the longest active major-college streak. On top of that, however, if the Buckeyes win they’ll eclipse the school record set by the 1967-69 Ohio State teams. That accomplishment comes only if they take care of business, however. “Right now, we’re just focusing on beating Indiana,” center Corey Linsley said. “Because Indiana doesn’t really care about our win-

ning streak.” Even coach Urban Meyer, who runs screaming from just about anything other than the X’s and O’s of the next game, says it would be an impressive accomplishment. “Any time a player plays at a place like Ohio State, and you can make a name for yourself or a dent in this great tradition, that is certainly worth being recognized,” Meyer said. The Buckeyes (10-0, 6-0) can also clinch a division title and a spot in the Big Ten championship game. Here are five things to watch for in the game: GET YOUR POINTS HERE:

Ohio State won last year’s matchup, 52-49. This year, the two offenses may be even better — they’re combining for more than 1,000 yards per game. Plus, the defenses may be worse. “Defensively, it’s a couple teams that have given up some points,” Indiana coach Kevin Wilson said. Don’t be shocked if 40 points are scored — by the end of the first quarter. FAILING HISTORY: The Buckeyes have made it an almost annual occurrence to beat the Hoosiers. Not only are they a 32-point favorite this time around, but they’ve won the last 17 meetings with Indiana.

Trojans From Page 13 Taylor also scored five of her seven points in the third quarter to help pace the Trojans. “Zechariah got some good looks in the third quarter and was able to score some points,” Kopp said. “She had a real nice game. Maddy Taylor hit some key shots for us as well.” West Carrollton would get to within four points, 34-31, with 2:31 to play in the game, but Bond hit a free throw and, after a Pirate turnover, Hess hit a shot in the lane. Sophomore Sierra Besecker then hit a pair of free throws to push Troy’s lead to 40-31 with 1:03 to play. From there, it was simply a matter of Troy dealing with West Carrollton’s press and hitting its free throws down the stretch to pull out the victory. “I thought Sierra Besecker and (freshman) Jenna Kaup did a really good job of handling their press,” Kopp said. “The past four years if someone pressed us, it wasn’t a big deal — we would just throw Kristen Wood out there and let her figure it out. But for those young kids to deal with it the way they did was a really good thing to see.” If Troy’s youngsters can continue

to mature, there may be even more good things on the horizon. In addition to her 13 points, Kyzer also finished with 10 rebounds. “I just wanted to try to score a lot, play good defense and get the ‘W,’” Kyzer said. None of which came as a surprise to Kopp. “She’s ready right now,” he said. “She’ll be a special player for us.” And, seemingly, no moment will ever be too big. West Carrollton — 38 Jordan Cochrane 3-3-11, Aleesa Harmon 0-0-0, Kendra Layne 4-6-15, Madison Patton 3-0-8, Abby Tincher 2-0-4, Toni Raye Handley 0-0-0. Totals: 12-9-38.

Devils From Page 13 away in one stunning play to defeat the Red Devils 25-7 in the Division III, Region 10 championship game Friday at Piqua High School. The loss was the first of the season for Tippecanoe (12-1), which was playing in its first regional title game in the program’s history. And though the topseeded Devils came in as the underdog against the Rams, who have played in three-straight state title games, they proved they belonged in the conversation. “The kids played like they believed we could win, and we could,” Tippecanoe coach Charlie Burgbacher said. “We had an opportunity. We were right there. We were this close to making that dream a reality. “The kids played like they deserved to be here. They worked hard and earned this, and they didn’t disappoint anybody.” The Devils trailed only 12-7 late in the third quarter and took over on their own 20-yard line. They then started feeding Hall

THE

it could not only hang with the Rams, but threaten them. Tippecanoe found ways to move the ball around the edges on the game’s opening drive, using leading rusher Hall as a decoy up the middle. Fellow senior Cameron Johnson carried the bulk of the load on the 12-play, 80-yard march, piling up 61 yards on seven carries. The final carry was the important one, though, as he slipped through an arm tackle and got the edge, taking it in on an 11-yard run to give the Devils a 7-0 lead with 7:30 left in the first. The defense held on Trotwood’s first possession, too. The Rams moved the ball as far as the Tipp 16-yard line, but an incompletion on fourth-and-21 – and a heads-up play by Sean Ford to swat the pass to

the ground instead of intercepting it – gave the Devils the ball back at their own 27. Tippecanoe’s drive stalled at midfield, though, and Trotwood began its march back into the game. The Rams went 75 yards on 14 plays – including a fourth-and-inches conversion at the Tipp 28 – and Breland Cospy finished it off with a 1-yard run up the gut. A missed extra point allowed the Devils to keep possession of the lead, though, 7-6. Trotwood forced a quick three-and-out, and sophomore quarterback Messiah DeWeaver found Kendric Mallory in the back corner of the end zone for a 10-yard touchdown to give the Rams a 12-7 lead with 4:47 left in the half. Tippecanoe junior quarterback Zack Blair

hit Alex Hamilton for a 13-yard game on thirdand-9, then he hit Hall on a screen, and Hall fought for 14 yards and another first down to push the Devils to the Trotwood 38 with two minutes left in the half. But an intentional grounding penalty halted the drive, and the Devils went into the lockerroom trailing by five. Johnson finished the first half with 73 yards on 11 carries – nearly half of Tippecanoe’s 142 yards of total offense. Hall was held to 23 yards on eight carries. But the Tippecanoe defense – which gave up 219 yards of offense – bent but didn’t break, keeping the Devils within striking distance. The Devils got to within 16 yards of making that strike, too. “I thought we played our game, but we just didn’t capitalize enough,” Burgbacher said. “This game was an indication of how close we were, how close we are. This group here can play in a big game like this.” Hall finished the game with 143 yards on 25 carries, and Johnson had 95 yards on 13 carries. Still, after the longest postseason run in the program’s history, the Devils have nothing to hang their heads about. In fact, they’re still looking forward. “This game shows the kids coming back and the kids coming up in the program that we can play,” Burgbacher said. “We can play in these games. Now, it starts all over again for next year.”

plishments weren’t even on my radar when I was a freshmen. This has only been possible with the support of my coaches and the community in Athens and back home.” Rain has been steady in Terre Haute the past few days and Accurso said she

expects a sloppy course today. While she doesn’t have a time in mind because of the course conditions, she said she does have a placement in her head — one that would again earn her AllAmerica honors. “Because of the course,

I’m not really looking at a time, but I would like to finish in the top 25 — I think that’s a realistic goal for me. I’m just looking forward to the race. I think I’m really going to enjoy this, since it’s the last race of my college career.”

Anthony Weber | Troy Daily News Tippecanoe’s Austin Clack (32) and Sean Ford (24) tackle a Trotwood ballcarrier Friday.

– who was held in check in the first half – the ball, and he chewed up the ground. Hall got the ball eight straight times on Tippecanoe’s nine-play drive that carried over into the fourth quarter, running off 64 yards along the way and giving the Devils a second-and-6 on the Ram 16-yard line. But just when it looked like Tippecanoe was going to retake the lead, Trotwood made a play when it had to.
