Red Cross open to Alcorn coverage

BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

The American Red Cross is open to having a presence in Corinth again.

But it all depends on having a willing volunteer to staff the office, according to Northeast Mississippi Chapter Manager Patty Tucker, who presented a report and plea for financial support to the Board of Aldermen on Tuesday.

The city has offered space at

rently have a local office, the chapter is adding a Corinth resident, Lila McGee, to its board of directors.

“We need financial support from the city,” said Tucker. “We don’t get United Way funding from Alcorn County. We want to be able to provide the same level of service that we provide in all of our counties in Alcorn County.”

The chapter also plans to boost its pool of volunteers in

City Hall in the past, and the offer still stands.

“If we can get a volunteer that would be willing to man this office, we would love to do that,” said Tucker. “We have that in some of our other municipalities.”

She said the chapter cannot put a paid staff person in the office.

The city has in recent years tied funding to having a local presence. While it does not cur-

the Corinth area.

“We want more volunteers trained in Alcorn County so when there’s a disaster in Alcorn County, Alcorn Countians will be the ones that assist them,” said the manager. “They will be trained and ready to hit the ground running.”

Tucker, who was accompanied by the chapter’s board chairman, recapped statistics for the past fiscal year including $16,976 given to 16 Alcorn

County families assisted following house fires; 29 military calls; and more than 200 people involved in various training.

“As a whole in 2013, we touched the lives of 310 individuals right here in Alcorn County through the American Red Cross,” said Tucker.

Alcorn County has been serviced by the Northeast Mississippi Chapter since the Alcorn chapter ceased operations.

percent on our most recent cycle,” added Wamsley. “Our numbers have been moving in the right direction.”

The overall state dropout rate average from the most recent five-year cohort is 17 percent.

“We are 6.7 percent lower than the state average right now, which is awesome,” said Wamsley. “But we have a challenge coming this year.”

Starting with the 2014-15 school year, the MED will move to a four-year cohort when

It’s time to pay it forward and do something for those who have selflessly devoted their time and efforts to the service and protection of their community.

With flames flickering around the county and fires destroying family homes, it is now more important than ever to support those who battle the blazes.

“Glen Volunteer Fire Department is hosting a fund-raiser to update equipment and fund the fire department for the year,” said Fire Chief James McAnally. “This drive is very important, and we hope people will help out like they have in the past.”

The fund drive is held annually by the fire department and has been done for at least the past 12 years. Last year, somewhere between $2,500 to $3,000 dollars was raised.

According to McAnally, residents in the department’s service area on Highway 72 now have increased fire protection, a second fire station and more fire fighting capabilities as a result of new equipment.

In the next few weeks, a representative will be calling on each home and business in the area. They will be asking for support in this project and offering a complimentary 10”x13” family portrait.

Dropout rate moving in right direction

BY ZACK STEEN zsteen@dailycorinthian.com

The Alcorn School District cares about their students.

School administrators, teachers and parents met Tuesday night for a town hall discussion on dropout prevention.

The meeting, titled “Reach the Heart–Teach the Mind” highlighted the district’s current dropout rates verses the state average and some of the improvements each school has made to help prevent student dropout.

“The number of dropouts we

have in our district not only impacts our overall state ratings, but also affects the local economy,” said Superintendent Gina Rogers Smith. “Tax revenue is lost, crime increases and the literacy and health of our community is affected.”

It is the educators responsibly to reach out to students in need and ensure them teachers care, according to Smith.

“The Mississippi Department of Education identifies three subgroups in student population,” said Elizabeth Wamsley on behalf of the school dis-

trict. “Children are classified as either those who earn a high school diploma, those who receive an occupational diploma or GED or dropouts.”

In the past, MDE has looked at data from a five-year cohort study which follows students from their freshman year until time of graduation. In some cases, it would take a student five-years to graduate, instead of the traditional four, said Wamsley.

“Our dropout rate was 12.9 percent two cycles ago, 10.5 percent one cycle ago and 10.3

Weary to give keynote speech at NE American Legion starts early on wreath project

BY STEVE BEAVERS

sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com

BOONEVILLE — Dr. Dolphus Weary is coming back.

The president of the R.E.A.L. Christian Foundation, who coined the phrase “Someday I’m leaving Mississippi and I ain’t never comin’ back” during the 1960s racial problems in Mississippi, will be the keynote speaker during Northeast Mississippi Community College’s recognition of Black History Month.

NEMCC’s Cultural Arts Committee is offering a week-long program on racial reconciliation, starting Feb. 10 and continuing through Feb. 14. A variety of speakers have been lined up for the “Coming Back, Moving Forward: The Challenges Before Us in Race Relations” campus event.

Weary left the state in 1967, becoming one of the first black students ever to attend

and graduate from the all-white Los Angeles Baptist College.

“These programs are a wonderful opportunity for students and commu- Weary nity members to hear notable speakers and learn some things they may not have known about the experiences of African-Americans in our state,” said Northeast Cultural Arts Committee Chairperson Lynn Burns. “Dr. Weary’s presentation should be particularly interesting and I urge all community members who can to attend.”

Weary, one of the most desired speakers over the last 30 years on racial reconciliation, will speak during the free and open to the public event on Feb.

11. His lecture, about race relations in Mississippi during the 1960s, will take place at 7 p.m. in the Claude Wright Room on the second floor of the Haney Union.

His book – “I Ain’t Comin’ Back” – is about his life maneuvering through the choice of staying in Mississippi in the 60s and trying to work his way through the system or moving out of the state and joining the civil rights movement and protesting the injustices he saw growing up.

“Dr. Weary has spoken on the Northeast campus before and we are pleased to bring him back,” said Northeast Cultural Arts Committee vice-chairperson Michael H. Miller. “These programs are a way of allowing our students and community to have an open dialogue about past experiences in Mississip-

The American Legion is getting started early on a project to remember deceased veterans.

Post 6 is already taking orders for Wreaths Across America which is slated for later this year.

“It is a very heart touching experience,” said Carlean Parker, Vice-President of the American Legion Auxiliary, of the project which places wreaths at the graves of veterans in the Corinth National Cemetery.

“Those who attend will come with a mission and leave with a memory for life.”

Last year, 612 wreaths are placed at the National Cemetery and surrounding area cemeteries. The number was over 200 more than the previous year.

“Our event was a huge success,” said Parker. “My heart has been blessed many times over by the response of the community.”

Cost is $15 per wreath with each sponsorship tax deductible. The wreaths are a traditional live green with a red bow.

Specific grave orders can also be placed and are not limited to the Corinth National Cemetery.

The 2014 ceremony is scheduled for 11 a.m. on Dec. 13 at the National Cemetery.

“We should never forget and need to teach our children the values of freedom,” added Parker. “Freedom comes with a price … it has been said when a civilian becomes a soldier they sign a blank check with the Please see WREATHS | 2A

Tennessee has 10 executions scheduled in the next 2 years The Associated Press

NASHVILLE — The Tennessee Administrative Office of the Courts says the state is scheduled to execute 10 death row inmates between this April and November 2015.

The Tennessean says three executions are scheduled this year, with

seven in 2015.

Gov. Bill Haslam told the newspaper’s editorial board Wednesday that he agrees with the decision to seek the executions although they didn’t go through him. The state sought the execution dates after changing the protocol for lethal injections.

Kelley Henry of the Federal Public Defender’s office in Nashville said it’s unfortunate so many death row inmates were being grouped together.

Henry and other attorneys have asked a judge to halt the executions over questions about the drug the state now plans to use.

ects.

“During the last Grand Illumination, our kids put together over 2,000 luminaries,” added Wamsley.

“Different projects we do like this teaches troubled kids teamwork and social skills in a real life settings.

Traditional subjects like Math and English are also added in.”

At alternative school, relationship building is very important in dropout prevention.

“For kids to feel like they matter, they have to look outside of themselves,” added Wamsley.

“They have to understand their community.”

At Kossuth High School, counselor Kim Lyles said scheduling plays a pivotal role.

“The new block scheduling has helped us with early graduation options,” said Lyles. “This has aided in meeting graduation requirements a lot faster and getting kids graduated.”

Alcorn Central High School counselor Julie Pittman uses a master Excel spreadsheet to make

sure students are not falling behind on grades or days missed.

“Tracking every student from freshman year through senior year is something I started doing last year and it has helped me out tremendously in pinpointing dropouts before they happen,” she said.

Jennifer Koon agreed with Wamsley.

“Relationship building is the key to this entire meeting,” said Koon, counselor at Alcorn Career and Technology Center.

“Teachers, if you see a student in the hallway who you heard might be having a hard time at home, reach out and talk to them ... those little things will help this entire cause.”

Smith ended the meeting by thanking everyone in the school district for a combined effort.

“I’m so thankful everyone works together,” she said. “We don’t just have jobs, we are invested in what we do. Everyone in this district truly cares about our kids and it shows.”

compiling data on student dropout.

“We are going to lose those kids who take a little longer to graduate due to not having enough credits or falling behind because of sickness,” said Director of Secondary Curriculum Lisa Wigginton. “Every year we have about 20 or 30 students district wide who roll over into their fifth year of high school.”

The Alcorn Alternative Education Center is a last resort for a possible future dropouts. Students who have had discipline problems or are failing academically are often sent to alternative school.

“We are here for those higher at-risk students,” said Wamsley, who has served as a teacher at the alternative school for more than 10 years. “By the time students get to us, they have had all the traditional teaching ways tried on them.”

Alternative school educators focus on getting their students involved in community mined proj-

Tupelo Furniture show opening today TUPELO — The Spring Tupelo Furniture Market, one of the largest furniture trade shows in the United States, will open building number one of its six buildings to the public today and will pack it with furniture, home accessories, appliances, as well as jewelry, clothing and other fashion-related items that the public and many of the furniture retailers attending want to see.

Once again, the companies that will fill the 185,000 sq. ft. of space in building I will be offering incredible pricing on their products.

In addition, entertainment, prizes, parties and a fashion show, as well as the chance to grab “show dollars� to spend at the event will add excitement to the shopping experience.

The trade show continues Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The show times are: 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Thursday, 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Friday, 8 to 6 Saturday and 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday.

“This ‘event within our event’ has provided the perfect vehicle for furniture industry retailers that are searching for smaller companies offering unique furniture, home accessories, and other items that might round out their inventory,� said Kevin J. Seddon, president of the market. “Many of these small companies, which often sell hand-crafted furniture and accessories in smaller amounts, want to sell to both the trade and the public. It’s worked perfectly for all our attendees and for our exhibiting companies.�

Seddon went on to explain that building I has in many ways become an incubator for many smaller exhibitors in that when showing in Tupelo, they are able to effectively make the transition from selling direct to consumers only, to selling to retail establishments. According to Seddon, many of the small companies that have shown their products in building I in the past are now selling to

retailers exclusively and have moved to the market’s “trade only� buildings. “We have had great success with our first three iterations of this event and it has grown beyond our expectations,� said Melissa Kelly, coordinator of the Furniture & Home Accessories Show. “The open floor space as well as every showroom will be filled completely for this spring’s show. We will be raffling prizes including a fur coat, jewelry, a $500 shopping spree and every day for one to two hours, many of those attending the event will be given a chance to ‘grab Show Dollars’ in our money booth.�

Kelly went on to explain that on Thursday from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m., Skyler Lane, a past competitor on American Idol and a local Mississippian, will be on hand to entertain the crowd, sign autographs and speak to the crowd. The following Friday evening, the 2nd iteration of the “Sparkles and Spirits� party will be begin at 4 p.m. Those par-

ticipating will enjoy hors d’oeuvres, beer and wine as well as “door prizes� that will begin away during the event. Wishbone, a local acoustic band will be on hand for entertainment.

On Saturday, the first annual TFM Fashion Show which begins at 2 p.m. Woman’s clothing, jewelry and accessories will be on display, as well as children’s clothing and accessories.

The Furniture and Home Accessories Show will house a wide-range of home furniture, appliances, specialty items and accessories at below retail and discounted prices. “This event has allowed many smaller manufacturers and importers to participate in the furniture market,� said Debbie Henry, director of sales for the Tupelo Furniture Market. “They sell to the public to off-set their costs, while attracting long-term relationships with furniture retailers.

Many of them have had great success and we feel as if we have helped fos-

ter their growth as a business.� “This, the 4th version of the Furniture & Home Accessories Show, will have more furniture than ever before, but will also have a lot accessories and fashion items� said Katie Kimbrell, the company’s buyer recruitment director. “Companies that will showcase fashion items include Bluebird Boutique, Southern Chics, 1409 Posh Boutique, touch of class and many, many more.�

Kimbrell went on to list many more items that will be available to the public, business owners and retailers that choose to shop in building I, including all types of furniture – even outdoor furniture, home accessories, rugs, frames and framed art, lighting, mattresses, pottery, appliances, electronics, clothing, jewelry, purses, artwork, yard art, lighting and lighting fixtures.

Some of the major brands include Hampton Bay, Thomasville, Samsung, Frigidaire, Hotpoint and LG.

Letter to the editor

What are these people thinking?

I suppose I’ll make some people angry about my opinion about legalizing marijuana.

What in the name of humanity are these people thinking?

Several states have already made it legal to buy pot -- just like buying a candy bar. Their lame excuse is it helps people with cancer and pain. New statistics show people that have never smoked a joint are suddenly becoming ill so they can have an excuse to use it.

Any idiot knows it makes a person high just like beer, wine, whiskey and any kind of alcohol. Someone with a high is not in control of themselves when driving or anything else. What will the law do when someone on a legal marijuana high has a wreck and kills someone? Slap them on the hand and say, “That’s not nice. Don’t do that again.”

Alcohol should never have been legalized anywhere, especially in Alcorn County. A few tax dollars are worth more than a human life, right?

A few years back, I might not have said anything , but I am not the man I used to be.

I never smoked pot or used illegal drugs and drank very little. I’m not bragging or boasting about it.

I realized how important it is to be the best you can be, be kind to one another and above all: Get your heart right and don’t do anything Jesus wouldn’t do.

Prayer for today Lord God, may I not only feel the need of thee when I am burdened with sorrow and care, but may I have need of thee in my pleasures and joys. I thank thee for thy gracious kindness, thy mercy and thy protection.

Amen.

Democratic Class of 1974 leaves the scene Henry Waxman and George Miller are retiring from the House and not running for re-election after 40 years as congressmen from southern and northern California.

Also retiring is Sen. Tom Harkin of Iowa. Sen. Max Baucus of Montana will resign if, as expected, he is confirmed as ambassador to China. Both were first elected to the House in 1974 and were later elected to the Senate.

These four are just about the last serving members of the 75 Democrats first elected to the House in the Watergate year of 1974.

The only other members of the Class of 1974 are Iowa Sen. Charles Grassley and Congressman Rick Nolan, who retired from the House in 1980 but was elected again in 2012.

Aside from these two outliers, the Class of 1974 is about to pass into history.

What did it accomplish?

First, it changed the way the House of Representatives operates, starting from before its members took the oath of office and continuing to the present day.

Democrats had held majorities in the House for 20 years, but the liberal majority in the caucus was often stymied by the seniority system that allowed conservative Southerners to hold

key chairmanships.

Beginning in 1974, the leadership allowed the DemoMichael cratic cauBarone cus to vote up or down Columnist on chairmen against whom a certain number of signatures were gathered.

San Francisco’s Phil Burton, who had shrewdly backed many ‘74ers, gathered a sufficient number of signatures for every chairman. Three were defeated by the newly enlarged caucus, including one, first elected in 1940, who addressed the freshmen as “boys and girls.”

Election of committee chairmen became routine, and it meant that anyone seeking a chair had better have a voting record in line with the Democrats’ liberal majority. For example, Jamie Whitten of Mississippi, first elected a month before Pearl Harbor, shifted suddenly from Right to Left.

Republicans did something similar when they won their House majority in 1994. Their 73 freshmen, shrewdly backed and mentored by Newt Gingrich, supported his move to have chairmen chosen by a leadership-dominated steering

committee.

The result is that the Democratic Caucus became solidly liberal, and the Republican Conference solidly conservative.

The change can be justified on neutral principles.

Committees more closely resemble the legislature as a whole, which makes legislating more feasible — and party leaders and members accountable to the voters.

The downside, in some critics’ view, is that the election of chairmen also gave would-be chairmen motives to raise money for other members, very often from K Street lobbyists.

Many Class of 1974 members proved to be productive legislators. Waxman, who ousted a more senior chairman of a health subcommittee in 1978, sponsored bipartisan laws on generic drugs and orphan drugs (for rare diseases), forced expansion of Medicaid in the Reagan years, shaped the 1990 Clean Air Act and pushed Obamacare and cap-and-trade through the House in 2009-10.

Miller worked with John Boehner and Edward Kennedy on the Education Act of 2001. Harkin helped lead the bipartisan move to double funding for the National Institutes of Health over five years. Baucus led Senate Finance Democrats for

13 years.

The Class of 1974 also shifted the House and the congressional Democratic Party from hawkish to dovish. One of its first acts in March 1975 was to block funding for South Vietnam when it was under attack by the North.

In the 1980s, the Democratic House kept pushing back on the Reagan foreign policy. In 2002, Nancy Pelosi led most House Democrats to oppose the Iraq war resolution.

Pelosi says she is staying on, even as her ally Waxman and her consigliere, Miller, leave the House. The 201-member caucus she leads has more black and Hispanic members and fewer young doves and reformers than the 291-member caucus Waxman and Miller entered nearly 40 years ago.

Still, the Class of 1974 has left a mark on history — though not as much as one Democrat who narrowly lost a House race that year, a 28-year-old Arkansan named Bill Clinton.

Retreating on illegal immigration At a time when Republicans have Democrats playing defense on Obamacare, jobs and the economy, the GOP is inexplicably ceding political ground to the Democrats on an issue that can only provide more votes for that party and possibly lead to a permanent Democratic majority.

Meeting in Cambridge, Md., last weekend for what they called -- with no little irony -- a “retreat,” Republican leaders signaled they are open to considering some sort of legal status for the estimated 11 million illegal immigrants who have overstayed their visas or violated American law to get here.

But exactly who are the illegals? According to a study conducted by the Urban Institute, “Mexicans make up over half of illegal immigrants -- 57 percent of the total, or about 5.3 million.

Another 2.2 million (23 percent) are from other Latin American countries. About 10 percent are from Asia, 5 percent from Europe and Canada, and 5 percent from

the rest of the world.”

Republicans have convinced themselves HispanCal that ics are a “natThomas ural” conColumnist stituency for their party because they are hard workers, religious and family-oriented. Statistics from the Pew Research Center suggest the opposite may be true.

According to Pew, 53 percent of babies born to Hispanic immigrants are to single mothers, about twice the rate of whites. As for Republican “family values,” Pew found a majority of Hispanics, 53 percent, support same-sex marriage.

As a great many illegals are poor, their strain on the welfare, health care and education systems is considerable.

In a recent column, Phyllis Schlafly, a conservative political analyst, cited an American National Election Study that asked Hispan-

ics their views about the free market vs. big government solutions to problems.

Schlafly noted, “Only 17.9 percent of Hispanics responded ‘the less government the better,’ and 85.3 percent said ‘a strong government involvement is required to handle economic problems.’”

This is not the profile of a future Republican voter.

The Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) says illegals now make up 3.5 percent of the U.S. population, or about 10.5 million people. According to CIS, “Nationally, illegal immigrants and their U.S.-born children account for 9.9 percent of all persons in poverty, compared to their 4.9 percent share of (the) nation’s total population.”

With lower incomes, illegals rely more on welfare programs. CIS says in Texas, “58 percent of illegal households collect some sort of welfare,” with “49 percent using food assistance and 41 percent using Medicaid.” In California and Illinois, reports CIS,

“55 percent use welfare.”

This country needs comprehensive immigration reform, whether that means maintaining a secure border or outlining a standard of economic sustainability for immigrants. Taxpayers cannot continue to bear the economic burden of illegal immigration. The Obama administration has promised immigration reform; the Republican Party has promised it, but partisanship and politics keep both sides miles apart.

If Republicans fail to come up with a workable immigration plan, they will simultaneously help Democrats who rely on the Hispanic vote and lose Republican votes. As Texas Republican Senator Ted Cruz told Breitbart News, they could also fail to achieve their major goal for 2014: winning a Senate majority.

Officials reject immigration action WASHINGTON — Conservative Republicans on Wednesday ruled out any immigration legislation in the House this year, insisting that the GOP should wait until next year when the party might also control the Senate.

House GOP leaders unveiled their broad immigration principles last week that gave hope to advocates and the Obama administration that the first changes in the nation’s laws in three decades might happen in the coming months.

Immigration legislation is one of the top priorities for Obama’s second term.

But several of the conservatives were adamant that the House should do nothing on the issue this year, a midterm election year when the GOP is angling to gain six seats in the Senate and seize majority control. Democrats currently have a 55-45 advantage but are defending more seats, including ones in Republican-leaning states.

Robotic hand gains sense of touch WASHINGTON — To feel what you touch — that’s the holy grail for artificial limbs. In a step toward that goal, European researchers created a robotic hand that let an amputee feel differences between a bottle, a baseball and a mandarin orange.

The patient only got to experiment with the

bulky prototype for a week, and it’s far from the bionics of science fiction movies. But the research released Wednesday is part of a major effort to create more lifelike, and usable, prosthetics. “It was just amazing,� said Dennis Aabo Sorensen of Aalborg, Denmark, who lost his left hand in a fireworks accident a decade ago and volunteered to pilottest the new prosthetic. “It was the closest I have had to feeling like a normal hand.�

This isn’t the first time scientists have tried to give some sense of touch to artificial hands; a few other pilot projects have been reported in the U.S. and Europe. But this newest experiment, published in the journal Science Translational Medicine, shows Sorensen not only could tell differences in the shape and hardness of objects, he also could quickly react and adjust his grasp.

House endorses teacher pay raise JACKSON — Mississippi House members are backing efforts to raise teacher pay by about $4,250 over four years.

Representatives voted 86-26 Wednesday to pass House Bill 504. It goes to the Senate for more work.

Teachers would get a $1,500 raise over the next two years, and a projected raise of $2,750 over the following two years, assuming state revenues continue growing.

Teachers in their first five years would get raises automatically. Those with more than five years’ experience would have to meet three of 22 criteria, ranging from certification by the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards to sponsoring a school club.

GOP conclusions miss whole story WASHINGTON — New estimates that President Barack Obama’s health care law will encourage millions of Americans to leave the workforce or reduce their work hours have touched off an Itold-you-so chorus from Republicans, who’ve claimed all along that the law will kill jobs. But some aren’t telling it straight.

The analysis by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office predicts the law will give several million people an opportunity to work less or not at all, because they won’t be stuck in jobs just for the sake of keeping the health insurance they get from employers. To some Republicans, that amounts to “wreaking havoc on working families,� ‘‘dire consequences for workers� and a shower of pink slips across the land — conclusions unsupported by the report.

The study estimates that the workforce will be reduced by the equivalent of 2.3 million full-time workers by 2021 as people choose to leave it. More would take early retirement, work fewer hours or otherwise rearrange their work-home balance to take advantage of new subsidies for health insurance and new markets for individual policies that don’t depend on having a job.

State set to take over Scott schools

the system was violating 20 of 27 state standards.

The 4,200-student district is rated “B’’ under the state’s grading system, but has seen conflict between the school board and elected superintendent.

Senate sets driver fine for texting JACKSON, Miss. — The Mississippi Senate has voted to make texting and driving a crime — but not much of one.

Senate Bill 2434 says anyone caught sending a text message or checking a social media site while driving can be charged with careless driving.

Conviction would carry a fine of anywhere from $5 to $50.

Sunday alcohol sales hearing draws silence OXFORD — The Oxford Board of Aldermen is expected to vote Feb. 18 on an ordinance allowing restaurants to sell liquor

on Sundays.

The Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal reports that no one spoke for or against the proposal during a Tuesday hearing.

The city is proposing to allow restaurants to sell liquor, wine, light wine and beer by the drink on Sundays.

If a new ordinance passes, the wine and liquor element of the ordinance would require approval of the Mississippi Alcoholic Beverage Control.

It would not affect retail liquor and wine sales, which are limited to state-licensed package stores. State law limits when those stores can operate.

After decades of a near-total ban on Sunday alcohol, the city in 2011 legalized Sunday sales by the drink on University of Mississippi home football weekends, Mother’s Day and Father’s Day, along with Valentine’s Day and New Year’s Eve when they occur on Sunday.

JACKSON — State officials will consider taking control of the Scott County school system Thursday.

The Commission on School Accreditation will consider a takeover at its meeting, and the state Board of Education has scheduled a special meeting to affirm the action.

Gov. Phil Bryant must approve an emergency declaration before officials can appoint a conservator, deposing the current superintendent and school board.

Takeovers typically follow state findings of violations, and an audit released in November found

Rare ‘frost quakes’ blamed for noises ST. LOUIS — Chuck Herron heard the loud thud, then another and another. It sounded like someone was dropping big snowballs on the roof of his home.

The house is more than 100 years old and creaks, Herron said, but he had “never heard anything like that before.�

As his neighbors in tiny Paris, Mo., huddled around televisions Sunday for the Super Bowl, many were startled by similar strange noises.

Some even saw flashes of light and called 911.

Scientists say the community experienced a rare natural phenomenon known as a “frost quake,â€? which happens when moisture in the ground suddenly freezes and expands. If conditions are just right, the soil or bedrock breaks like a brittle frozen pipe, generating mysterious noises that range from an earthquake-like rumble to sharp cracking sounds sometimes mistaken for falling trees.

Barack Obama, doctors and anti-smoking groups when it was announced on Wednesday, puts pressure on other retailers to stop selling tobacco from their shelves as well. But first they have to overcome their addiction to a product that attracts customers. “They don’t make much money on tobacco, but it does draw people into the store,� said Craig R. Johnson, president of the retail consultancy Customer Growth Partners.

CVS Caremark Corp. said it will phase out tobacco by Oct. 1 in its 7,600 stores nationwide as it shifts toward being more of a health care provider. CVS, like other drugstore chains, have been adding in-store clinics and expanding their health care offerings. They’ve also been expanding the focus of some clinics to include helping people manage chronic illnesses like high blood pressure and diabetes.

CVS CEO Larry Merlo said the company concluded it could no longer sell cigarettes in a setting where health care also is being delivered.

In fact, as CVS has been working to team up with hospital groups and doctor practices to help deliver and monitor patient care, CVS Chief Medical Officer Dr. Troyen A. Brennan said the presence of tobacco in its stores has made for some awkward con-

Hoffman’s autopsy proves inconclusive NEW YORK— Four people were taken into custody on drug charges after police investigating Philip Seymour Hoffman’s death executed search warrants, two people with knowledge of the investigation said Wednesday, and the medical examiner’s office said more tests are needed to determine what killed him.

There was no timetable for Hoffman’s autopsy to be finished, said medical examiner’s office spokeswoman Julie Bolcer, who declined to discuss the pending tests. Toxicology and tissue tests are typically done in such cases.

Police believe the Oscar-winning actor may have died from a drug overdose, though his death is being investigated as suspicious pending a more definitive ruling by the medical examiner.

Hoffman was found dead Sunday with a needle in his arm, and tests found heroin — but no traces of the potent synthetic morphine additive fentanyl, which is added to intensify the high and has been linked to 22 suspected overdose deaths in western Pennsylvania — in samples from at least 50 packets in his apartment in Manhattan’s Greenwich Village, law enforcement officials have said.

Fatal hit-and-run leads to arrest ITTA BENA— An Itta Bena man has been arrested on charges in what authorities say was a fatal hit-and-run accident.

The driver of the vehicle that hit her left the scene.

Banks was pronounced dead at the scene.

Washington tells the Greenwood Commonwealth that 20-year-old Jermaine Williams is charged with culpable negligent manslaughter leaving the scene of an accident resulting in death.

If convicted, he faces a maximum of 20 years on both counts.

It’s lights out as winter storm slams Northeast Associated Press

Winter-weary residents of the Northeast contended with another dose of snow, sleet and freezing rain Wednesday. The second winter storm of the week canceled classes, closed government and business offices, and caused more than 1 million power outages across the region after wreaking similar havoc in the Midwest on Tuesday.

The snow was expected to reach a foot or more in some places Wednesday.

Combined with freezing rain and sleet, it made driving treacherous. The storm was the second goround for the Northeast since a good coating of snow fell Monday.

Pennsylvania Icy conditions knocked out power to about 750,000 customers in eastern and central Pennsylvania and caused school and legislative delays as well as speed reductions on major roadways. Falling trees became a hazard for motorists.

The Pennsylvania Turnpike canceled a temporary speed limit of 45 mph and its ban on empty tractor-trailers. The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation also dropped speed limits to 45 mph on a number of roads.

The Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Administration re-

ported delays and some cancellations on suburban Philadelphia routes, while Amtrak suspended its Philadelphia-to-Harrisburg service because of downed trees on wires and along tracks.

New York New York state deployed more than 2,000 plows and other pieces of heavy equipment to keep roads clear during a storm that has forced the closure of one major highway and hundreds of schools upstate. Up to a foot of snow fell in some upstate areas, while lesser amounts and a coating of ice were expected in New York City.

A 65-mile stretch of Interstate 84 between the Pennsylvania and Connecticut borders was closed to all vehicles.

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie declared a state of emergency and state offices were closed for non-essential employees, as the state got snow in northern parts, sleet and freezing rain in some areas, and all rain in southern counties. Tens of thousands of customers were without power, and schools were closed or delayed.

Airport tried to open runway before jet crash Associated Press

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — An audio recording from the control tower at Birmingham’s airport shows workers were trying to reopen the main runway when a UPS cargo jet crashed while trying to land on an alternate runway, killing two pilots.

The recording, posted on the Federal Aviation Administration’s website, shows an air traffic controller asked a Birmingham Airport Authority worker about reopening the runway less than two minutes before the Airbus A300-600 jet went down shortly before dawn Aug. 14.

The main 12,000-foot runway was closed for maintenance at the time and the UPS aircraft crashed while attempting to land on a shorter 7,000-foot runway at Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International Airport that lacks the most advanced guidance equipment.

The jet clipped trees and slammed into a hill less than a mile from the end of the runway.

The recording shows a cargo jet from UPS competitor FedEx landed safely on the main runway just a few minutes after the crash.

The recording will be part of the evidence as the National Transportation Safety Board conducts a hearing set for Feb. 20 in Washington to determine the cause of the crash.

The main runway, which had a more complete guidance system, was closed for maintenance on its lights during the crash, which occurred about 15 minutes before the main runway was supposed to reopen.

Pilots consider the approach to the shorter runway to be more tricky because of the lack of full instrumentation and a large hill at the end of the runway, but the NTSB has not indicated whether the runway’s configuration might have been a factor.

On the audio recording, UPS First Officer Shanda Fanning is heard talking with an air traffic controller in the Birmingham tower about the aircraft’s

approach. The controller tells her the primary runway is still closed and asks if they want to land on Runway 18.

“Yes sir, the localizer 18 will work,” Fanning says.

About 45 seconds after he clears the UPS flight to land, the controller is heard asking an airport worker about getting the main runway back in operation.

“Airport 12 are, uh, we, uh, on schedule to open back up at (5 a.m.)?” he asks.

“Affirm, they’re very close to the end right now,” answers the airport worker, apparently speaking from a vehicle near the runway.

Less than two minutes later, the airport worker calls back to the tower: “Tower, Airport 12. Did you see that?”

The tower responds: “Airport 12, there’s a crash. UPS 1354 heavy crashed, uh, on the hill.”

The pilot of a FedEx cargo jet that also was approaching the airport radioed in that he had reduced his speed. That aircraft landed safely on the main runway just moments after it reopened.

The UPS wreckage was in flames by then, lighting up the sky on a drizzly morning. As airport vehicles rushed away from the central part of the field to the site, one worker struggled to understand what had happened.

“Are we clear to go to our standby positions?” asked a worker from the fire unit at the Alabama Air National Guard installation.

“The aircraft is not coming to the airport,” the controller answered.

“So it’s already crashed?” asked the Guard worker.

“Affirmative,” said the controller.

Investigators from the NTSB have said they did not find any mechanical problems with the A300600, manufactured by Airbus. The NTSB has said the hearing later this month will review landing procedures, training, adherence to standard operating procedures and proficiency.

morning, with the heaviest volume during the rush-hour commute.

The storm also snarled traffic in southern Michigan, including the Detroit area, with accidents reported in Grand Rapids and Saginaw.

Two planes became stuck on taxiways at snowy Detroit Metropolitan Airport, requiring trucks to push or pull the Delta jets out of the snow.

Illinois A Chicago runner was credited with helping save a man who fell into icy Lake Michigan with his dog.

Adam Dominik says he found twine and anchored it around himself while throwing the other end in the water, pulling the man onto nearby rocks. Meanwhile, a skier called 911.

The man was taken to a hospital to be treated for severe hypothermia. He and his dog are expected to recover.

Ohio Most of Ohio was hit with another bout or heavy snow and freezing rain, closing hundreds schools and creating extremely hazardous driving conditions.

Much of the state was slammed with 4 to 8 inches of snow overnight.

Many counties declared snow emergencies.

“I wish that groundhog

would have stayed in its hole,” said Geoff Dunn, who took the bus to his downtown Columbus office, avoiding the messy roads but still having to navigate snowy sidewalks.

“Finding us six more weeks of winter was not the smart move.”

The National Weather Service said most Ohio cities already have seen anywhere from 15 to 30 inches more snow than is normal at this stage of winter.

Rhode Island Nearly all schools in Rhode Island were closed.

State Police responded to 16 accidents before 8:45 a.m., after which road conditions appeared to be improving, with snow turning to sleet and rain in some areas.

The Rhode Island Public Transit Authority warned of delays.

Connecticut Connecticut’s governor and legislative leaders agreed to delay the start of the General Assembly’s annual session from Wednesday to Thursday because of snow.

Gov. Dannel P. Malloy also ordered a delayed opening for state offices on Wednesday. Many schools were closed.

Metro-North canceled and combined some trains on the New Haven Line.

Kansas

Gov. Sam Brownback ordered state offices in the Topeka area closed for a second consecutive day because of a winter storm.

The Legislature also canceled all of its meetings Wednesday.

Authorities blamed slick conditions for a two-car crash in southeast Kansas that killed two people, and said a third traffic fatality also appeared to be weatherrelated.

The Kansas National Guard established nine teams that were prepared to assist motorists who were stranded or to transport medical and emergency personnel.

Kentucky Freezing rain and ice that moved through Kentucky overnight left thousands of people without power.

According to the Public Service Commission, most of the outages were reported in Jefferson County, which had about 10,000 customers without power early Wednesday.

Gov. Deval Patrick told all non-essential state employees working in the executive branch to stay home.

Missouri A Southwest Airlines jet arriving from Denver got stuck in a snow bank Tuesday evening at Kansas City International Airport. A Southwest spokesman said all 55 passengers on Flight 305, a Boeing 737, were placed on buses and taken to the terminal.

Wisconsin Severe winter conditions caused officials to ask thousands of homeowners in far northern Wisconsin to leave their faucets running 24 hours a day to prevent water pipes and sewer lines from freezing.

Fatalities In Kansas, two traffic deaths Tuesday south of Pittsburg in Crawford County were blamed on the weather; a third, near Hesston, was believed weather related.

Massachusetts The snowstorm hit western portions of the state in the pre-dawn hours, leading Boston, Worcester and Springfield, among other cities, to close schools and ban street parking to prepare for snow removal.

Power outages Pennsylvania, 750,000; Maryland, 140,000; New Jersey, 62,000; Arkansas, 48,000; Kentucky, 10,000; New York, 8,000; Delaware, 6,000; Indiana, 2,500; Connecticut, 300.

States look to rein in NSA surveillance Associated Press

PORTLAND, Ore. — Angry over revelations of National Security Agency surveillance and frustrated with what they consider outdated digital privacy laws, state lawmakers around the nation are proposing bills to curtail the powers of law enforcement to monitor and track citizens.

Their efforts in at least 14 states are a direct message to the federal government: If you don’t take action to strengthen privacy, we will.

“We need to stand up and protect our liberty,” said Republican Missouri state Sen. Rob Schaaf, author of a digital privacy bill.

Police groups, however, say the moves will in some cases hinder efforts to deter or solve crimes.

“It would cripple law enforcement’s ability to do investigations,” said Bart Johnson, executive director of the International Association of Chiefs of Police.

Proponents say the measures will overhaul the definition of digital privacy and help increase oversight of specific surveillance tools that law enforcement agencies have been using in the

states that critics say mirrors federal surveillance technology.

The bills include a Colorado proposal that would limit the retention of images from license plate readers, an Oregon bill that would require “urgent circumstances” to obtain cellphone location data and a Delaware plan that increases privacy protections for text messages.

Republican and Democratic lawmakers have joined in proposing the measures, reflecting the unusual mix of political partnerships that have arisen since the NSA revelations that began in May. Establishment leadership has generally favored the programs, while conservative limited government advocates and liberal privacy supporters have opposed them.

Supporters say the measures are needed because technology has grown to the point that police can digitally track someone’s every move.

Devices such as license plate readers and cellphone trackers “can tell whether you stayed in a motel that specializes in hourly rates, or you stopped at tavern that

has nude dancers,” said David Fidanque, director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Oregon.

“It’s one thing to know you haven’t violated the law, but it’s another thing to know you haven’t had every one of your moves tracked,” he said.

As for digital privacy, bills promoting broader protections against email surveillance have popped up recently in various states with varying results. One proposal became law in Texas last year, but a similar measure was vetoed in California where the governor said it was too onerous for police to follow.

But proposals focused specifically on police surveillance are a new variety.

Schaaf’s proposal for a legislatively mandated ballot measure in Missouri would add electronic data to a list of property protected from unreasonable search and seizure. If it passes, it would go before voters in November.

“The people in Missouri, if they get the chance to approve it, will send a message that other states can, and must, do the same thing,” Schaaf

said. “We can’t wait on Congress to pick up the banner.”

In Indiana, legislators have put forward a bill that would ban the warrantless use of a portable device that can track cellphone movements within a mile, as well as the numbers of incoming and outgoing calls and text messages. Indiana lawmakers also want to use warrants to limit the use of tracking devices and surveillance cameras.

“You could get to the point where you’re just tracking everyone’s car just for the fun of it,” said Republican Rep. Eric Koch.

Clatsop County, Ore., District Attorney Josh Marquis said the legislators’ concerns are misplaced. He said state agencies aren’t collecting the kind of metadata the NSA collects and bills curtailing the ability of local authorities to gather intelligence could do more harm than good.

Instead, local law enforcement agencies are using the technology to run surveillance on drug cartels or lure sex predators into online communication that leads to an arrest, Marquis said.

Spotlight on GM

Killer quarter?

General Motors’ latest quarterly earnings could provide insight into how the automaker sees sales shaping up this month.

GM reported earlier this week that its sales in the U.S. fell 12 percent in January from a year earlier as frigid temperatures kept buyers away from car dealers. GM is due to deliver its fourth-quarter earnings today. Wall Street will be listening for hints as to how sales are faring in the U.S. and elsewhere.

Gamers strive to rack up kills in the blockbuster shooter video game “Call of Duty.”

But has the franchise’s latest installment, “Call of Duty: Ghosts,” racked up strong sales for publisher Activision Blizzard since its November debut? Wall Street should find out today, when the company reports its fourth-quarter earnings.

Husband’s escort trysts betray wife WIZARD OF ID

DILBERT

GARFIELD

FORT KNOX

PICKLES

Dear Annie: I recently found out that my husband has been calling escorts who advertise online. I am not sure whether he ever hooked up with any of them. I am just shocked that he is doing this and that it has been going on for quite some time.

I feel stupid that it took me so long to pick up on it.

It appears he and his buddies had this system going to cover for each other when they communicated with these women. And then he gives me a Christmas card that says how much he loves me. It’s as if he dumped 30 years of marriage down the gutter.

It’s the same as cheating.

Let this be a heads up to all the women out there: Check your husband’s cellphone bills. You may be surprised to find out who they are talking to.

Staying in the marriage with this going on is not an option. Why am I the one to feel ashamed because of what he did? — Pennsylvania Dear Pennsylvania: You feel ashamed because you think he made a fool of you.

The man you loved and have been married to for so long was behaving in a way that shocked and humiliated you. He is the one who should be ashamed of being so disrespectful toward you and your mar-

Annie’s Mailbox riage.

Dear Annie: Whenever we are at a party, especially during the holiday season, my usually responsible husband invariably drinks to excess. He gets loud and then louder.

A jolly drunk, but still a drunk.

I’m not a teetotaler, but I stop at one or two glasses. I get that I’m not responsible for my husband’s behavior, but it is both embarrassing and frightening. Who is this guy? When I express my concerns (the day after), he becomes petulant or surly. He promises to limit his drinking, but it doesn’t happen.

We’ve been married for 43 years, and this behavior has developed only over the past few. Other than being the designated driver, how do I deal with my party animal? — His Wet Blanket Dear Wet Blanket: If this behavior is fairly recent, please suggest to your husband that he get a complete checkup. Ask to go with (so you can mention your concerns to the doctor). Most offices will also permit you to alert the doc-

tor by phone or letter.

Another suggestion is to videotape his drunken behavior so he can see for himself how out of control he is. We hope it helps.

Dear Annie: This is for “Waiting for Your Answer,” who complained about bank personnel chatting up the customers.

When I was a bank teller in Miami, the Federal Banking Commission held a mandatory information workshop on how to prevent bank holdups.

Two segments in particular apply to this issue. All greeters and tellers were instructed to: 1. Look the customer in the eye while greeting him/her. This will deter any motive other than banking.

2. Carry on a very brief, pleasant conversation while handling all transactions. This puts any intentioned robber ill at ease because they know you will be able to identify them.

As customers depart, note the height chart that is always posted at the door. The greeter will be doing the same as the customer enters the bank.

This helps personnel better describe the person.

Remember that a brief, light conversation may help to protect you, your money and your fellow depositors. — A Safe Bank Teller

Kid’s handheld electronics may be more than fun and games DEAR ABBY: I am writing about the letter from “Holding My Tongue” (Nov. 8), the woman who was upset because many children were playing with electronic devices during her grandchildren’s school concerts and recitals. While I agree that most children should pay attention to the event at hand, as the mother of two children on the autism spectrum, I have a different perspective.

There are apps and games designed to keep these children occupied and help them deal with the stress and anxiety of being in a large group of people. I should not have to leave my sons at home because they are on the spectrum, so a harmless, quiet game that allows them to participate without being disruptive is a godsend to me.

Sometimes it is not obvious WHY someone is doing something; so as long as it isn’t disrupting the event, please try to be tolerant. -- LAURA IN PENNSYLVANIA DEAR LAURA: Your point is well-stated, and was one made by a number of parents of children with special needs. Readers had interesting comments on this topic. Here are a few: DEAR ABBY: If there’s a possibility young children could be unruly during a performance, I think they should be allowed to use a tablet or something to keep them occupied.

Sometimes it’s hard to find a sitter or afford one.

When children get dragged to programs Abigail they have interest Van Buren no in, they lose patience and Dear Abby become fidgety. If given something to occupy their attention, as long as it has headphones, then I don’t see a problem. I’d rather have that than kids screaming and crying because they’re unhappy being there. -UNDERSTANDING IN LOUISIANA DEAR ABBY: In this digital age, we have lost touch with basic common decency and respect for others. I not only notice this in children, but adults as well.

I have seen people check their emails while they are in church, or couples sitting together at a restaurant, both fixated on their electronic devices and not speaking a word to each other.

It’s sad to imagine what the next generation will be like if we don’t start putting the devices down and interacting with each other again. I raised all three of my kids this way, so I know it’s not impossible. -- MAINTAINING HUMAN CONTACT DEAR ABBY: When my precious mother passed away last

summer, my sister-in-law brought two handheld games to the funeral. My niece and nephew played and played while the pastor spoke about my mother.

It was the last straw for me in a series of incredibly rude actions over the years. My children were also appalled. When respect is no longer taught at home, we sink to the lowest level as a society. -- DEBRA ON THE EAST COAST DEAR ABBY: I have stopped attending my friends’ grandchildren’s recitals because I, too, cannot tolerate rudeness. Many parents today just don’t want to bother with their children. If there is a toy that can keep them busy, their parents “enable” them to grow up as idiots who can’t appreciate the world and its beauty because their world is lived entirely on an electronic screen.

-- GEORGE IN SOUTH CAROLINA DEAR ABBY: What parents who allow this type of behavior don’t seem to understand is that it transfers to the classroom.

Their children assume it’s OK to ignore the teacher, the lesson and instructions that in some cases could save a life. -- FRUSTRATED EDUCATOR IN MIAMI (Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.)

Horoscopes ARIES (March 21-April 19).

Your success lies in realizing how foolish it is to try to obtain talents you don’t naturally possess when you could be using your time and energy to polish the ones you do possess.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Do what you can, and don’t bother with what you don’t believe in.

You are not underestimating your talents by refraining from doing certain tasks. Your inner wisdom dictates that some things are simply not worth doing.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Regarding a creative project, the end is not in sight, and so you’ll have to keep it in your mind.

Rest assured, you are further along than you think you are.

Don’t give up now!

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

Success will depend on the verbal connections you make. Be forthcoming with good topics.

Make it easy for other people to talk with you. You’ll need a dozen high-quality topics at the ready.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The one

you love needs to be able to mix and mingle with your other loved ones. Such an effort is one way a person can show devotion, and you will appreciate this. The one who doesn’t make this effort isn’t doing enough for you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

There was a time when you didn’t know how to brush your own teeth, and the person who did that for you taught you how to do it. Now you’ll take on a daunting task that will soon become as automatic, habitual and easy as brushing.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The Greek goddess Charis was beautiful and charitable by nature.

From her name comes the word “charisma,” which is the quality you possess in great quantity now and will apply generously to help out a friend.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

Define your vision and purpose.

If you leave it to chance, human nature will take over to help you serve selfish purposes. Think it through first, and you’ll come up

with the best plan.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). A tendency of humans is to rate their skills and traits as better than they actually are. But a person who can’t admit fault or weakness is unlikely to improve.

The cosmic gift you embrace now is a realistic self-perception.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’re ready to take a project to the next level, but you have to get more people on board to make this happen. Jump into the social swirl and charm them. If you don’t, someone else will.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

Relationships will improve with better organization. You’ll carve out time to give your undivided attention to a loved one, and the connection you feel will make both of you stronger.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

You’ll lay the groundwork for a landmark agreement. This is not the time to commit or make a decision. This is the time to put your feelers out and explore what is possible.

JUSTIN COBBS, CALIFORNIA Cobbs delivered one of the most memorable shots of the season, drilling a step-back jumper with 0.9 seconds remaining to lift Cal to a 60– 58 win over top-ranked Arizona. Cobbs, who scored the Golden Bears’ final 12 points, scored 19 points and handed out seven assists. The Bears had lost their previous three games.

JABARI BROWN, MISSOURI His team came up short on Saturday afternoon — losing 84–79 at home to Kentucky — but Brown was the best player on a court loaded with McDonald’s All-Americans. Brown, a former 5-star recruit who began his career at Oregon, led Missouri with 33 points on 10-of-17 shooting from the floor and 10-of-12 from the foul line. Earlier in the week, Brown scored 24 points (on only 11 shots) in the Tigers’ 75–71 win at Arkansas.

JUWAN STATEN, WEST VIRGINIA Surging West Virginia won for the third time in the last four games thanks to a career day from its junior point guard. Staten, a one-time Dayton Flyer, scored 35 points and had four rebounds and five assists (and only two turnovers) in 38 minutes of action in the Mountaineers’ 81–71 win over Kansas State. West Virginia, who upset Baylor in Waco earlier in the week, is now 5–4 in the rugged Big 12.

MARCUS KENNEDY, SMU SMU bounced back from a midweek loss at South Florida to beat Memphis 87–72 on Saturday in one of the biggest games at the school in decades. Kennedy, a 6'9", 245-pound Philadelphia native, led the way with 21 points (on a perfect 10-of-10 from the field) and 15 rebounds for Larry Brown’s team.

DEANDRE KANE, IOWA STATE Kane came one assist and one rebound shy of a triple-double in Iowa State’s thrilling tripleovertime win at Oklahoma State Monday night.

Kane, a senior transfer from Marshall, scored 26 points to go along with his nine rebounds and nine assists in 52 minutes of action.

DREW CRAWFORD, NORTHWESTERN It was a huge week for the Northwestern program, which won at Wisconsin on Wednesday night by 11 and Minnesota on Saturday by one.

Crawford, a fifth-year senior who flirted with transferring in the offseason, averaged 23.5 points and 6.5 rebounds in the two wins. The Wildcats, under first-year coach Chris Collins, have won three straight Big Ten road games for the first time since the 1959-60 season.

JARNELL STOKES, TENNESSEE Tennessee bounced back from a disheartening 67–41 loss at Florida with two convincing wins over SEC foes last week. Stokes, a junior forward, scored 13 points and had 14 rebounds in a midweek 86–70 win over Ole Miss and then had a dominating 22-point, 15-rebound effort in Saturday night’s 17-point victory at Alabama.

TYLER HAWS, BYU BYU has been a disappointment this season, but the Cougars are getting great production from Haws. A junior guard from Alpine, Utah, Haws averaged 35.5 points while shooting 59.5 percent from the field to lead BYU to wins over Pacific and Saint Mary’s last week. He is averaging 24.6 points.

YOGI FERRELL, INDIANA With Indiana desperate for a quality win, Ferrell delivered in the clutch, scoring 27 points to lead the Hoosiers’ offense and helping slow down Michigan’s Nik Stauskas on the defensive end of the floor. Ferrell hit 8-of-10 from the floor, including 7-of-8 from 3-point range, in Indiana’s most important win of the season.

TREVOR COONEY, SYRACUSE Cooney drilled a school-record nine 3-pointers and scored a career-high 33 points to help No. 1 Syracuse to a tougher-than-expected 61–55 win over Notre Dame just two days after the Orange’s epic overtime win over Duke. Cooney, a sophomore guard, is shooting 43.6 percent from 3-point range and averaging 14.1 points.

Charles LeClaire-USA TODAY Sports

DEANGELO HARRISON, ST. JOHN’S Harrison scored 27 points and added six rebounds and two blocked shots to lead St. John’s to a convincing 74–59 win over Marquette. The Red Storm lost their first five Big East games but have since won three of four to improve to 3–6 in the league. Harrison, a junior guard from Texas, ranks third in the conference in scoring at 18.1 points per game.

McDermott continues to shine Who was the Player of the Month in college basketball in January?

Mitch Light: I didn’t overthink this one; it’s Doug McDermott from Creighton. The frontrunner for National Player of the Year honors, McDermott was sensational during January, averaging 26.1 points and 6.1 rebounds while shooting over 50 percent from the field. He started the New Year with a 30-point, 10-rebound performance in a win at Seton Hall and capped it off with a seasonhigh 39 points — including the game-winning three with 2.5 seconds remaining — in a 63–60 victory over St. John’s.

David Fox: Even though Doug McDermott is a virtual certainty for National Player of the Year, my top player of January is one of the few players in the Big East who can match McDermott’s scoring prowess. Bryce Cotton of Providence has been one of the most underrated players in the country, but the Friars are on the precipice of their first NCAA bid in a decade thanks to Cotton’s play of late.

Cotton averaged 21.7 points and 6.3 rebounds in a month that saw Providence beat Georgetown, Creighton and Butler. Even more, Cotton has been a workhorse, averaging 41.1 minutes per game thanks to a doubleovertime game against St. John’s in which he played all 50 minutes.

Braden Gall: Few players had as good of a start to the 2014 calendar year as Cincinnati’s Sean Kilpatrick.

First of all, the Bearcats went 9–0 in conference play during January, highlighted by wins at Memphis and Louisville. Kilpatrick scored 18 in the road win over the Tigers and 28 in the road win over the Cardinals. On the month, the Cincy sharpshooter averaged 20.1 points and 4.8 rebounds and shot 86 percent from the foul line.

In addition, he had just nine turnovers in the final seven games of the month.

Bigger surprise: Texas (6–2 in the Big 12) or Virginia (8–1 in the ACC)?

TEXAS AT KANSAS STATE Surprising Texas improved to 6–2 in the Big 12 with a convincing win over Kansas on Saturday. The Longhorns have defeated Iowa State, Kansas State, Baylor and KU in the last four games. Not bad for a team picked to finish anywhere from eighth to 10th in the Big 12 in the preseason. K-State has slipped to the middle of the pack after a hot start in the league (4–1), but this team is tough to beat in Manhattan.

MICHIGAN AT IOWA Iowa can play its way back into the Big Ten race if it takes care of business this week at home against Ohio State on Tuesday and Michigan on Saturday. Michigan lost for the first time in Big Ten action on Sunday at Indiana, but the Wolverines — with a road win at Michigan State in their back pocket — still have to be considered the team to beat.

BAYLOR AT OKLAHOMA Baylor stopped a five-game losing streak with a surprising — and potentially season-saving — win at Oklahoma State last Saturday. This team has enough talent to work its way back into the NCAA Tournament picture. Oklahoma’s roster isn’t as impressive as Baylor’s, but the Sooners have the advantage on the bench — Lon Kruger is one of the game’s elite coaches.

NORTH CAROLINA AT NOTRE DAME The Tar Heels have recovered from a disastrous start in ACC play and once again appear to be a team capable of winning some games in the NCAA Tournament. Notre Dame has struggled to remain relevant in the ACC without Jerian Grant, who was lost for the season due to academics. Mike Brey’s team is very tough to beat at home — the Irish knocked off Duke in South Bend on Jan. 4 — but Carolina has the decided edge in talent.

CINCINNATI AT SMU It’s gone largely unnoticed, but Cincinnati is off to a 10–0 start in the new American Athletic Conference. The Bearcats, who already have wins at Memphis and Louisville, will be tested on Saturday at suddenly relevant SMU. The Mustangs, under the guidance of Larry Brown, improved to 6–3 in the American with a resounding win over Memphis last weekend.

SMU is closing in on its first NCAA Tournament appearance since 1993.

PROVIDENCE AT XAVIER Providence and Xavier are among a pack of teams fighting for third place — behind Creighton and Villanova — in the new-look Big East. Both teams feature star power, with Bryce Cotton leading the way for Providence and Semaj Christon continuing to shine at Xavier.

OREGON AT ARIZONA STATE This is a key game between two middle-of-thepack Pac-12 teams who figure to be fighting for at-large bids to the NCAA Tournament. Arizona State rebounded from a slow start in league play and is now 5–4 with a three-game homestand looming. Oregon stopped the bleeding with a win over USC at home on Saturday, but the Ducks have not played well since the end of December.

Bruce Schwartzman

Creighton’s Doug McDermott was terrific in the month of January and heads into the stretch drive as the favorite to be named National Player of the Year.

day stretch in early December, Virginia scored 38 points in a loss at home to Wisconsin and lost at Green Bay. Then after closer-than-expected wins over Northern Iowa and Norfolk State, Virginia was blasted by 35 points at Tennessee. Since that debacle in Knoxville, the Cavs are 8–1, with the only loss coming by three points at Duke. The emergence of sophomore guard Malcolm Brogdon as a consistent scorer has been a huge key. Since failing to score in 21 minutes in the loss at Tennessee, Brogdon has averaged 15.2 points, with a low of 11 against Florida State and a high of 18 against Virginia Tech. Virginia is done with Duke and North Carolina, and only has to play Syracuse once — at home. Don’t be shocked if this team stays in the ACC title hunt until early March.

Fox: Texas is perhaps the biggest surprise of any team since conference play began. With a new athletic director and diminishing results in recent years, Rick Barnes appeared to be on his last leg with the Longhorns.

Entering the season, the Horns did not have the look of a team ready to compete in a deep Big 12. The roster had been shed of most of its highprofile recruits — and it’s worth mentioning those prospects didn’t really pan out anyway. In reality, though, Texas shed itself of malcontents and egos. The Longhorns have become a legit team in the Big 12 and a threat to advance in the NCAA Tournament thanks to the out-ofnowhere emergence of Jonathan Holmes, the arrival of freshman point guard Isaiah Taylor and development of Cameron Ridley.

MISSOURI AT OLE MISS Two of the nation’s most feared 3-point shooters will be on display in Oxford this weekend when Marshall Henderson and the Rebels host Jabari Brown and Mizzou. Henderson’s overall shooting percentage is down from last season, but he’s been more accurate from 3-point range despite attempting more shots per game.

Brown, the SEC’s leading scorer (20.4 ppg), is shooting 47.7 percent from beyond the arc.

GONZAGA AT MEMPHIS Gonzaga has already hit the 20-win mark, but the Bulldogs have not defeated a sure-fire NCAA Tournament team yet. Beating Memphis on the road would do wonders for the Zags’ résumé.

Memphis shouldn’t have to worry about earning an invite to the NCAAs, but the Tigers could use a few more quality wins to improve their seed.

WICHITA STATE AT NORTHERN IOWA Wichita State’s undefeated record will be put to the test this week with trips to Indiana State on Wednesday and Northern Iowa on Saturday. UNI has struggled a bit of late, but the Panthers beat VCU at home earlier this season. Wichita State will have to play well to win this game.

SUNDAY, FEB. 9 MICHIGAN STATE AT WISCONSIN A month ago, we were wondering if this might be Bo Ryan’s best team at Wisconsin. Now, we are asking: What happened? Once 16–0, the Badgers carried a 17–5 mark into Tuesday’s game at Illinois. The biggest issue for Ryan’s team has been on defense. Michigan State stubbed its toe in a neutral-site game against Georgetown last weekend, but the Spartans remain a threat to reach the Final Four.

CREIGHTON AT ST. JOHN’S St. John’s has the talent to get on a late-season roll and make a run at the NCAA Tournament.

The Red Storm’s only loss in the last five games came by three at Creighton on a Doug McDermott 3-pointer in the closing seconds. Creighton is 8–1 in the Big East and leads the league in both offensive and defensive efficiency in conference games.

Michigan hopes to rebound from 1st conference defeat The Associated Press

ANN ARBOR, Mich. — For the first time since the start of Big Ten play, Michigan has to recover from a loss.

That leaves coach John Beilein a bit uncertain about how his team will react.

“You do not know,” he said. “That’s the beauty of coaching 19-year-old kids.”

Michigan’s unbeaten run in conference play came to an end Sunday in a 63-52 loss at Indi-

ana. The Wolverines have reached the halfway point of their Big Ten schedule tied for first, exceeding expectations after losing big man Mitch McGary to a back injury. Now, however, they’re in the middle of a five-games-in-13-days stretch that leaves little time for major adjustments along the way.

“We’re in a week right now where we can’t practice as long,” Beilein said.

“It’s difficult, but we just keep moving on.”

The 10th-ranked Wol-

verines (16-5, 8-1) hosted Nebraska on Wednesday night.

Michigan has been able to replace McGary, who is out indefinitely, while Nik Stauskas, Caris LeVert and freshman Derrick Walton have all contributed on the perimeter. The Wolverines lost guards Trey Burke and Tim Hardaway Jr. to the NBA after last year’s Final Four run, but Michigan has remained difficult to defend.

Indiana, however, shut down Stauskas, who

scored only six points on 1-for-6 shooting against the Hoosiers. It was a rare off day for the 6-foot-6 sophomore.

“He’s a focal point of our offense, but I believe he understands now, he’s a focal point of people’s defense,” Beilein said.

“That’s what you get.”

Indiana limited Stauskas, and Glenn Robinson III’s impact was minimal as well. Beilein pointed out that it can be hard to make adjustments from possession to possession

in basketball.

“It’s a flow sport. You don’t have huddle time — ‘Oh, I see what they’re doing, let’s run this from our other play list.’ You don’t have that opportunity,” Beilein said. “You don’t have huddle-ups that last 30 seconds and you can redirect. Flow sports, it’s difficult to change.”

Nebraska (11-9, 3-5) was one of six Big Ten teams with exactly five conference losses heading into Tuesday night’s action — only Michigan, Michi-

gan State and Iowa have fewer. It’s been teams like Nebraska, Northwestern and Penn State — who are unheralded but capable of an upset — that have made this conference race so fascinating this season.

The Cornhuskers nearly knocked off Michigan last month, but the Wolverines were able to come away with a 71-70 win on the road.

Beilein said Nebraska’s Terran Petteway might become the best player in the league.

The Associated Press

The Southeastern Conference dominates recruiting as thoroughly as it rules the rest of college football.

As Signing Day came to a close Wednesday, SEC schools filled seven of the top nine spots in the 247Sports Composite recruiting rankings, which equally weigh the ratings of all the major recruiting services. Last year, seven SEC programs ranked among the top 13 teams.

Alabama led the way by finishing atop the team standings for a fourth consecutive year. Other SEC teams in the top 10 included No. 2 LSU, No. 5 Texas A&M, No. 6 Au-

burn, No. 7 Tennessee, No. 8 Georgia and No. 9 Florida.

“It’s the nature of our conference,” Tennessee coach Butch Jones said. “That’s why it’s the most competitive conference in the country.”

The SEC landed most of the top talent in its own territory and made an impact across the country.

According to the 247Sports Composite, SEC schools landed the No. 1 prospect in the state in such non-SEC areas as Arizona (Texas A&M quarterback Kyle Allen), Iowa (Alabama offensive tackle Ross Pierschbacher), Illinois (LSU linebacker Clifton Garrett), Oklahoma (Alabama quar-

terback David Cornwell), Virginia (Alabama defensive end Da’Shawn Hand) and Wyoming (Florida offensive tackle Taven Bryan).

The country is getting smaller,” LSU coach Les Miles said. “It is smaller with the technology. Phones are computer devices. Planes fly more efficiently and you can travel more efficiently. That’s what’s going on. Guys want the opportunity to play at the best programs. They want to go to places where they can play as freshmen. They want to go to places where they can show their skills to the NFL. Those schools have those advantages and that’s where the

players want to go.”

And even though the SEC must replace departing star quarterbacks Johnny Manziel, A.J. McCarron, Aaron Murray and Zach Mettenberger, it’s reloading quite well. Six of the top eight pro-style quarterbacks in the 247Sports Composite signed with SEC schools: Allen, Will Grier (Florida), Cornwell, Jacob Park (Georgia), Drew Barker (Kentucky) and Sean White (Auburn).

Ole Miss’ Freeze happy with haul

BY DAVID BRANDT AP Sports Writer

OXFORD — Mississippi coach Hugh Freeze pulled in another impressive signing class on Wednesday, even if it lacks some of the star power from a year ago.

There wasn’t much drama for Freeze, though the Rebels did surprise some by landing Tee Shepard, one of the nation’s top junior college defensive backs.

Freeze hopes some of biggest names in the 27-man class, including Shepard, offensive lineman Rod Taylor, defensive lineman Breeland Speaks and receiver Markell Pack, can contribute immedi-

ately.

Taylor and Speaks were two of the most highly regarded recruits in Mississippi. The 6-foot-3, 320-pound Taylor was one of the nation’s toprated interior linemen, according to the major recruiting sites.

Rivals and Scout had the Ole Miss class ranked in the teens nationally.

Freeze said this class “might be better from top to bottom” than the star-studded class of 2013, which included defensive end Robert Nkemdiche, receiver Laquon Treadwell and offensive tackle Laremy Tunsil. All three were 5-star recruits and important con-

tributors as freshmen.

But Freeze said the program has finally stockpiled enough talent that several of the program’s newest players can take a year or two to develop.

“I sure hope we can redshirt more kids than we were able to the last few years,” Freeze said. “It’s a sign we’re headed in the right direction, getting some kids some more maturity before they have to hit the field.”

Armour All-American could help the Rebels right away on the offensive line. He was the consensus top-rated recruit in Mississippi and among the nation’s top interior offensive linemen.

Best of the rest: Breeland Speaks, DL, Jackson, Miss., Markell Pack, WR, Purvis, Miss. Speaks and Pack will be expected to compete for playing time quickly. Pack could help fill the void left by WR Donte Moncrief, who declared for the NFL draft last National rankings (Rivals month.

The Assocaited Press

Mississippi State coach Dan Mullen said Wednesday that his 23-member class will go a long way toward filling the program’s short-and long-term needs.

The Bulldogs signed a class that includes several highly rated in-state prospects, including running back Aeris Williams and linebacker Gerri Green. Green was a four-star recruit according to Rivals.

Williams rushed for nearly 4,000 yards during his high school career and could help fill the void of departed senior LaDarius Perkins.

Mississippi State is trying to improve on a 7-6 record last season, which included a Liberty Bowl win.

Mullen said he “couldn’t be happier with what happened and who we got.”

The Bulldogs did miss on at least one prospect.

Four-star cornerback Tee Shepard chose to sign with rival Mississippi over the Bulldogs.

But there was also some good news.

The Bulldogs landed three-star defensive lineman Cory Thomas, who was also considering Tennessee.

“The class we have coming in will obviously fill some needs for us (immediately), and help us in the future,” Mullen said. “That is so important to me.”

The class ranks about 40th nationPlease see MULLEN | 13

Seattle turns up for Super Bowl parade The Associated Press

SEATTLE — Hundreds of thousands of notoriously loud Seahawks fans cranked up the volume Wednesday, cheering, chanting and going berserk during a parade and ceremony to celebrate the first Super Bowl victory in the history of the franchise.

The mood in Seattle was electrified as the parade featuring the NFL champions began near the Space Needle

and made its way to CenturyLink Field, the home of the team.

At a ceremony inside the stadium, the team thanked its loyal followers — the 12th Man — capping a day of boisterous celebration that drew an estimated 700,000 revelers to Seattle.

Players were introduced by the order of their jersey numbers and ended with No. 3, quarterback Russell

Wilson, who walked onto the field pumping the Lombardi Trophy in the air to thunderous applause. “Our plan is to win another one for you next year,” Wilson said later.

Coach Pete Carroll led the crowd in a “Seahawks! Seahawks!” chant and said the team will be back. “We’re just getting warmed up, if you know what I’m talking about,” he said.

Nick Sutton watched the

parade from Westlake Center and considered it a highlight when he threw a football to one of the players who threw it back to him. “It’s surreal.

It’s hard to believe. Seeing this now, it’s finally sinking in,” he said.

USM continues rebuilding on Signing Day The Associated Press

HATTIESBURG — Southern Mississippi announced a 23-member class that coach Todd Monken hopes will hasten the rebuilding process for his football program.

Monken said Wednesday that fighting off other schools for prospects has been difficult, but, “We are fired up about the guys that we got.”

The Golden Eagles finished with a 1-11 record last season, but the one victory was in the final game against UAB. The class includes four junior college signees and 10 players from Mississippi.

Monken has said that he hoped the Golden Eagles’ recent struggles wouldn’t have much of an effect on recruiting because the program’s

winning history should be more persuasive.

Rivals ranked Southern Miss’ class eighth in Conference USA while Scout ranked it seventh.

Here’s a an overview of Southern Mississippi’s recruiting class: National ranking: (Rivals: 87, Scout: 99) Best in class: Jon Michael

Edwards, DE, Montgomery, Ala. The 6-foot-4, 230-pound recruit was ranked a threestar by Rivals and could give the Golden Eagles some help putting pressure on opposing quarterbacks.

cruiting services and included seven players rated as five-star prospects by at least one service.

Alabama’s collection of five-star prospects includes defensive back Tony Brown, linebacker Rashaan Evans, Hand, defensive back Marlon Humphrey, offensive lineman Dominick Jackson, offensive lineman Cam Robinson and all-purpose athlete Bo Scarbrough.

Impact player: LSU’s Leonard Fournette should step in and help the Tigers replace 1,400yard rusher Jeremy Hill. Georgia’s Todd Gurley and Keith Marshall and Alabama’s T.J. Yeldon have shown recently that SEC running backs can make major impacts as freshmen.

Fournette is rated as the nation’s No. 1 overall prospect in the 247Sports Composite.

Players to watch: Texas A&M has a couple of them in Allen and defensive end Myles Garrett. Allen already has enrolled and will participate in spring practice with a legitimate shot at replacing Manziel, the 2012 Heisman Trophy winner. Defensive end Myles Garrett, the nation’s No. 2 overall prospect in the 247Sports Composite, should boost the pass rush of a Texas A&M defense that allowed the most points and yards per game of any SEC team last season.

Biggest surprises: Tennessee had its fourth straight losing season last fall and Kentucky went 2-10, yet both teams signed their top classes in recent memory. Tennessee kept the state’s top players at home, something that had been a problem in recent years. Kentucky signed a prize quarterback prospect in Barker - a home-state product and also made plenty of inroads in nearby Ohio.

Biggest dud: A potential top-25 class at Vanderbilt was decimated after former Commodores coach James Franklin left for Penn State. New coach Derek Mason needed a flurry of commitments in the last 72 hours just to get Vanderbilt back in the top 50.

surprised many by landing one of the nation’s top junior college defensive backs. He could help immediately at a spot the Rebels need some depth.

Freeze said the recruitment of Shepard intensified during the past week. Shepard was also a Mississippi State target. Freeze said Shepard has some work to do academically, but the coach is optimistic he can be eligible next season.

One that got away: Malachi Dupre, WR, New Orleans. The Rebels wanted Dupre, but it was always a longshot to lure the star receiver from LSU.

rolled by.

Thousands of students apparently skipped school to attend. Seattle Public Schools said more than 25 percent of the district’s 51,000 students were absent in the morning. By comparison, about 5 percent were absent the day before. The school district also said 565 teachers were absent, far more than usual.

“This is a historical event, once in a lifetime. To not show up would be blasphemy,” said Jesse Lake, 36, a carpenter from Port Orchard, who stood in the packed parking lot outside CenturyLink Field to greet the team as they arrived.

Shawn Cooper and Marlana Studebaker of Covington staked out a spot hours before the parade started and displayed supersized photo cutouts of Wilson and cornerback

Richard Sherman, prompting many fans to stop and take photos.

“This was a long-awaited win.

It’s well worth the wait,” Cooper said. “They’re years ahead of their time, which makes me believe there’s another one coming.”

Dakota Heaphy, 20, and friend Ellie Hergert, 20, drove all night from Cheyenne, Wyo. — more than 1,400 miles away.

“My boss is a Broncos fan and said we kicked their butts and deserved to go,” Hergert said.

Revelers packed the 2-mile route, wearing blue and green wigs, waving flags, scarves and signs, and breaking out into song and dance.

The Washington National Guard chauffeured many of the players in Humvees and other military vehicles under blue, sunny skies in cold temperatures. Elected officials rode

along in amphibious vehicles used to take tourists around the city.

Players enjoyed the celebration as much as the fans.

Running back Marshawn Lynch sat on the hood of a vehicle carrying the Sea Gals cheerleaders. He tossed Skittles — his favorite treat — into the crowd.

Other Seahawks players threw jerseys and T-shirts to fans while waving blue “12” flags as a sign of gratitude.

Boisterous fans observed a “moment of loudness” at 12:12 p.m. Crowds also gathered in Spokane, Olympia and elsewhere in the state to celebrate the first championship in the 38-year history of the franchise.

Many fans had camped out overnight to reserve front-row seats along the route, braving freezing temperatures. Others perched on window sills and balconies, climbed trees and

pillars, or sat on sturdier shoulders to get a better view.

At Westlake Center, smartphones and cameras were thrust into the air whenever players rolled by.

Seattle city officials asked the public to keep cellphone use to a minimum to keep lines free for emergency use. There were some reported difficulties with 911 calls getting through, said Jeff Reading, a spokesman for the mayor.

Chris Hoops, a sales worker from Everett, and his schoolaged daughters left home at 7 a.m. to get a good spot.

The girls, 11-year-old Emily and 8-year-old Bella, were bundled in sleeping bags at his feet.

They warmed up when they were asked whether they were sorry about missing school.

They shouted “No!” in unison.

“I like the Seahawks,” Emily said. “They were really good this season.”

ally according to both Rivals and Scout, but just 13th out of 14 Southeastern Conference teams.

National rankings: (Rivals 41, Scout 39) Best in class: Aeris Williams, RB, West Point, Miss. The 6-foot1, 200-pound Williams rushed for nearly 4,000 yards during his prep career and could help the Bulldogs’ backfield immediately.

Best of the rest: Gerri Green, LB, Greenville, Miss., Jamoral Graham, WR, Decatur, Miss. Mississippi

State hopes Green is the latest in a long line of quality linebackers in Starkville.

Late addition: Cory Thomas, DL, Bessemer, Ala. The Bulldogs were able to add some depth along the defensive line with Thomas. The 6-foot-5, 273-pounder was also considering Tennessee.

One that got away: Tee Shepard, DB, Fresno, Calif. Mississippi State thought they had a great shot at Shepard, who was one of the nation’s top junior college defensive backs. He ended up signing with rival Mississippi.

Yancey is another promising defensive player. He enrolled this spring, which will give him time to learn the program’s playbook.

Late addition: Jordan Mitchell, WR, Oak Grove. Mitchell fought injuries during his senior season of high school, but the 6-foot-2, 190-pounder has a lot of potential. Mitchell learned under former NFL quarterback Brett Favre, who was Oak Grove’s offensive coordinator the past two seasons.

One that got away: Torrence Brown, ATH, Tuscaloosa, Ala. The Golden Eagles would have liked to have Brown, but he decided to sign with Penn State.
