ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) — Workers pushing for an end to smoking in Atlantic City casinos say the main employee union has been won over by tobacco companies seeking allies in the fight against smoking restrictions. An official of a union involved in the anti-smoking push on Monday called for the head of the Atlantic City casino workers' union, Donna DeCaprio, to resign for failing to protect her members from the dangers of secondhand smoke. DeCaprio is president of Local 54 of the Unite Here union, which opposes a smoking ban on the grounds that so much business would be lost by smokers taking their money elsewhere that it could cause one or more casinos to shut down, costing thousands of workers their jobs. “She should be ashamed of herself,” said Ray Jensen, assistant director of United Auto Workers Region 9, which represents dealers at three Atlantic City casinos and is part of a lawsuit seeking to have the courts force an end to smoking in the gambling halls. “She should hand in her union card.” DeCaprio said her union supports the health and safety of its members, adding improvements to the workplace environment need to be made. “A balance needs to be reached that will both protect worker health and preserve good jobs,” she said. “We are protecting our members against multiple casino closures and job losses. The UAW is eager to sacrifice the entire casino industry and put 25,000 good jobs with benefits at risk.” DeCaprio said between 50% and 72% of all in-person casino revenue in Atlantic City comes from smoking sections, which occupy only 25% of the casino floor. She said her union “and the vast majority of the labor movement” support a proposal that would improve ventilation in casinos and prevent any employee from being assigned to work in a smoking section against their will. Whether to ban smoking is one of the most controversial issues not only in Atlantic City casinos but in other states where workers have expressed concern about secondhand smoke. They are waging similar campaigns in Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, Kansas and Virginia. Workers have been pushing for four years to end an exemption in New Jersey’s clean air law that allows smoking inside the nine casinos. They say they or their co-workers are becoming ill with cancer, heart disease and other conditions related to exposure to second-hand smoke. Gov. Phil Murphy, a Democrat, has said he will sign a bill to end casino smoking if it reaches his desk. The casinos, joined by Local 54, oppose that effort, saying it will cost Atlantic City thousands of jobs and lead to decreased tax revenue for state programs for senior citizens and the disabled. On Monday, the workers group that calls itself CEASE (Casino Employees Against Smoking’s Effects) filed an appeal of a court ruling in August that allowed smoking to continue in the nine casinos. The Casino Association of New Jersey declined to comment Monday. Attorney Nancy Erika Smith said as far back as 1993, tobacco companies targeted labor unions in the hospitality industry as potential allies to work against smoking bans in the restaurant and hospitality industries. That effort included the Hotel Employees and Restaurant Employees Union, a precursor of the Unite Here union. “HERE and the related AFL-CIO affiliates are critical allies which should be cultivated as supporters of the effort to prevent smoking bans,” a public relations firm wrote in a memo to Philip Morris Companies that was made public during several states' litigation against tobacco companies. The memo said having HERE “as an ally in this effort would be a very powerful voice.” As far back as 2001, HERE was part of a 12-member coalition including labor unions advocating for improved indoor ventilation instead of government-imposed smoking bans, according to another document cited in Monday's appeal. The anti-smoking campaigners cite a 2022 report by Las Vegas-based C3 Gaming, a consulting firm, showing that casinos that went smoke-free "appear to be performing better than their counterparts that continue to allow smoking.” Follow Wayne Parry on X at www.twitter.com/WayneParryAC Get any of our free daily email newsletters — news headlines, opinion, e-edition, obituaries and more.
A voter-approved Maine limit on PAC contributions sets the stage for a legal challenge
The reigning Super Bowl champions saw their run of 15 straight wins ended by the Buffalo Bills last week, but got back to winning ways thanks to star quarterback Patrick Mahomes. After a late Chuba Hubbard touchdown and two-point conversion had made it 27-27, the Chiefs got the ball back with less than two minutes on the clock and a 33-yard run from Mahomes helped set up Spencer Shrader for a game-winning field goal. THE CHIEFS SURVIVE AGAIN. 🔥 Patrick Mahomes comes up CLUTCH with a 33-yard run late, before Spencer Shrader wins it as time expires! Get your action on ESPN! — ESPN Australia & NZ (@ESPNAusNZ) Mahomes finished the game with 269 yards and three touchdowns, two of them to Noah Gray in the first half. Running back Jahmyr Gibbs scored two touchdowns as the Detroit Lions beat the Indianapolis Colts 24-6 to improve their record to 10-1, matching that of the Chiefs. David Montgomery also ran for a score before having to leave the game with a shoulder injury. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers ended a four-game losing streak with a 30-7 win over the New York Giants, who “mutually agreed” to terminate the contract of quarterback Daniel Jones earlier this week. Jones’ replacement Tommy DeVito was sacked four times while opposite number Baker Mayfield ran for a touchdown and completed 24 of 30 pass attempts for 294 yards. Rachaad White, Bucky Irving and Sean Tucker also ran for touchdowns in a one-sided contest. The Dallas Cowboys ended their five-game losing streak with a remarkable 34-26 win over the Washington Commanders, with 30 points scored in the final three minutes. KaVontae Turpin’s 99-yard kick-off return for a touchdown looked to have sealed victory for the Cowboys, only for the Commanders to respond with a field goal before getting the ball back with 33 seconds remaining. Wide receiver Terry McLaurin sprinted 86 yards through the Dallas defence for a touchdown, only for Austin Seibert to miss the extra point. 99 YARDS TO THE 🏡 was gone!! 📺: on FOX📲: Stream on NFL+ — Dallas Cowboys (@dallascowboys) The Commanders tried an onside kick and Juanyeh Thomas returned it 43 yards for a touchdown.

The Minnesota Vikings improved to 9-2 thanks to a 30-27 overtime win against the Chicago Bears, Parker Romo kicking the decisive field goal from 29 yards.
DERBY ENDED A six-game winless run in style with a 4-0 Sky Bet Championship victory over Portsmouth at Pride Park. Kane Wilson, Eiran Cashin and Ebou Adams all struck before half-time as the Rams ran rampant in the opening period. The visitors enjoyed plenty of possession but never threatened to get back into the contest and the result was put beyond doubt with Marlon Pack’s own goal midway through the second half. Paul Warne made four changes from the midweek stalemate at Burnley as Nat Phillips, Callum Elder, Joe Ward and Dajaune Brown made way for Wilson, Craig Forsyth, Ben Osborn and Marcus Harness – who returned to the starting XI to face the club he made over 100 appearances for between 2019-2022. Portsmouth made three changes from their draw against Norwich as Andre Dozzell and Callum Lang returned from suspension and Tom McIntyre replaced Regan Poole at centre-back. Both teams played out goalless draws in midweek but it took Derby only eight minutes to open the scoring. Nathaniel Mendez-Laing fired in a low cross and Wilson ghosted in at the back post to fire past Nicolas Schmid. The hosts scored with their second attack of note midway through the first half when Kenzo Goudmijn’s corner was headed home by Cashin. The former Ireland underage International later went off injured. Portsmouth finally threatened in the 28th minute when Colby Bishop pinched the ball off Forsyth and found Lang but Jacob Murphy could not force home his delivery from the right. A minute later Derby made it three, with Mendez-Laing again causing problems down the left before feeding Forsyth, who squared for Adams to bundle home. Matt Ritchie’s cross was volleyed wide by Bishop as Pompey sought a response and a Murphy cross-shot had to be punched away by Jacob Widell Zetterstrom. John Mousinho made multiple substitutions to try and turn the tide in his side’s favour but the result was put beyond doubt when Harness got clear down the right after 65 minutes and saw his low cross turned into his own net by Pack. Derby could have had a fifth when Pompey substitute Abdoulaye Kamara gave the ball away cheaply in his own half but Kayden Jackson fired over. Pompey continued to be the architects of their own downfall – Zak Swanson’s clumsy touch allowing Jackson to find Liam Thompson, whose cross to the back post was headed narrowly wide by James Collins. Jackson had a low effort stopped by Schmid as Derby threatened to inflict further damage late on and the Austrian keeper had to scramble the ball off his line after a mix-up with McIntyre as Pompey failed to register an effort on target.

Expert advocates deployment of IT, BVN to fast track offer verification
OTTAWA — The national chief of the Assembly of First Nations is calling on all members of Parliament to send a First Nations water bill to the Senate before the holiday break, saying the water crisis demands urgent action. “This legislation reflects years of advocacy by First Nations and marks a milestone in a decades-long fight for adequate water and wastewater in First Nations across Canada,” Cindy Woodhouse Nepinak wrote in an open letter to MPs. “We cannot afford further delays to this legislation or missed opportunities while First Nations continue to live without access to safe and clean water. Bill C-61 must advance now, not next year. We urge all members of Parliament, across all party lines, to act.” The government legislation known as Bill C-61 recognizes that First Nations have an inherent right to clean drinking water and commits the government to provide adequate and sustainable funding for water services in First Nations. The House of Commons has been gridlocked since late September because of an ongoing privilege debate that centres on a request for the Liberals to hand over to Parliament and the RCMP unredacted documents about misspending at a now-defunct green tech fund. That has taken precedence over nearly all other government business, and the water bill is awaiting a final vote in the House of Commons. Last week, Liberal MP Jaime Battiste, who is Mi’kmaq from Eskasoni First Nation, asked for unanimous consent from MPs to adopt the bill and send it to Senate. But several Conservative MPs said no. The Conservatives then introduced a unanimous consent motion of their own that also asked MPs to condemn the Liberals for their inaction on the file. That, too, was voted down. Chiefs who gathered with Battiste and Indigenous Services Minister Patty Hajdu last week expressed their disappointment with the bill not moving forward, and accused Conservative House leader Andrew Scheer of using the bill as a political tactic. “I’m very disappointed that he used clean drinking water as a tactic in this House in order to say, ‘If you do this, then we will do this,’ where there’s real lives that are being affected,” Cowessess First Nation Chief Erica Beaudin told reporters at a news conference. “We’re not talking about toys, we’re not talking about items that are not essential, but water is essential and you either believe in clean drinking water for everybody or you don’t. And if you do, you do everything you possibly can to work toward that happening.” There are 31 long-term boil water advisories on First Nations across the country, and 36 short-term advisories, government data shows. In a statement last week, Scheer said the Liberals shut down his motion because they would like to avoid “proper debate” on the legislation. “Liberal MPs should be outraged with themselves. They could properly debate this legislation today if they stopped their cover up of their $400 million green slush fund scandal by providing the documents to the RCMP as ordered by Parliament,” Scheer said. Since Bill C-61 was introduced nearly a year ago it has been subject to debate in the House of Commons, studied at committee and had amendments tacked on. At the Assembly of First Nations gathering last week, the AFN executive passed a resolution to continue advocating for the bill’s approval. Hajdu and Woodhouse Nepinak stood together in October making a similar push for the bill to move forward, with Hajdu blaming the Conservatives for delays. Scheer, in response, pointed back to that privilege debate and said the House can resume its work once the Liberals hand over the documents. It’s unclear whether the Liberals will attempt a unanimous consent motion again before the holidays. They are expected to introduce the fall economic statement on Monday, and the House of Commons is set to rise on Tuesday for a break that last until Jan. 27. In her letter to MPs, Woodhouse Nepinak said advancing the bill before then will demonstrate Canada’s commitment to upholding its responsibilities. “Support and prioritize the advancement of Bill C-61, refer it to the Senate, and take this necessary step toward ensuring every First Nation has access to the clean and safe drinking water, as it is their basic human right,” she said.

‘I’m fine with it’: Shark confirms rumours, talks up LIV legacy ‘I’ll always have’South Carolina looks to steady ship against South Carolina UpstatePHILADELPHIA – Saquon Barkley knew the Eagles season rushing record could be his on Sunday with the type of stellar performance that has become the standard during his first season in Philadelphia. As for the exact moment Barkley hit the milestone, he wasn't sure — until the “MVP!” chants echoed throughout the Linc after a 9-yard run in the fourth quarter . Recommended Videos “The records are great, they put a smile on your face,” Barkley said, “but the season is far from over.” Needing 109 yards to break LeSean McCoy's record, Barkley rushed for 124 yards and pushed his season total to 1,623 in a 22-16 victory over Carolina . Barkley needed just 13 games to pass McCoy, who rushed for 1,607 yards in 2013. He also overtook Wilbert Montgomery, who had 1,512 yards in 1978. “I never wrote the goal down to break it,” Barkley said. “You're always aware of it. That's how I train. That's how I operate in the offseason. I want to be great.” Barkley also maintained his pace to break Eric Dickerson’s NFL single-season rushing record of 2,105 yards, set in 1984 with the Los Angeles Rams. “That would be extremely cool to do,” Barkley said. “If it happens, it happens, and not with the mindset of, I'm scared to go try to do it. Whatever it takes to win football games.” Barkley is averaging 124.8 yards per game. At that pace and with one more game to play than Dickerson, he would become the top single-season rusher in NFL history. He needs 483 yards yards over the final four games to top Dickerson’s 40-year-old record. He averaged 6.2 yards on 20 carries against the Panthers to help the Eagles win their ninth straight game. McCoy, who was inducted into the team's Hall of Fame this season, remains the franchise’s rushing leader with 6,792 yards. Referencing his old uniform number, McCoy congratulated Barkley on social media with “a lot of love, coming from 2-5." “Being a fan of Shady's growing up, and seeing the spectacular things he was able to do with the ball in his hand, to be able to have my name mentioned with him definitely means a lot,” Barkley said. Barkley left the New York Giants in the offseason and signed a three-year deal worth $26 million guaranteed to join the Eagles, who made him the highest-paid running back in franchise history. The 27-year-old has been worth every dollar. Barkley is among the favorites for league MVP, according to BetMGM Sportsbook. Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen was the only player with better MVP odds entering Sunday. Barkley has a franchise-record nine 100-yard rushing games in a season. Although he was held out of the end zone Sunday, he began the day leading the league with four rushing touchdowns of 25-plus yards. Barkley, the No. 2 overall pick in the 2018 NFL draft, topped 1,000 yards three times in his six seasons with the Giants. He finished with 1,312 rushing yards and 10 touchdowns in 2022 and rushed for 1,307 yards and 11 scores as a rookie. Eagles general manager Howie Roseman, who had been unwilling to spend on elite running backs, pounced on Barkley and the decision was celebrated as a success in Philly from the first game of the season. Barkley rushed for two scores and caught a TD pass in the opener against Green Bay. His three touchdowns were the most by an Eagles player in his debut since Terrell Owens in 2004. Barkley only soared in production and popularity from there, his highlight reel stamped by a reverse leap over the head of a Jacksonville defender last month. He's since vaulted over every running back ahead of him on the Eagles rushing list — and has a chance at NFL history. ___ AP NFL: https://apnews.com/NFL
For a record 14th consecutive season, the New York Jets will officially not be making a playoff appearance. This is the longest current stretch in all of the major professional sports leagues in America. The Jets came into Sunday with little to no chance to begin with, but their overtime loss to the Dolphins officially ended the little hope left. Aaron Rodgers has struggled all season, even after firing Robert Saleh and bringing in Davante Adams, their struggles never left them and they have lost nine of their last ten. A combination of bad offense and very underwhelming defense has been the story all season, and Sunday, the defense is what bit them from behind. With a loss today at Miami, the Jets now have been eliminated from the playoffs for the 14th consecutive season, extending the longest active drought across the NFL, NBA, NHL, MLB and the WNBA. pic.twitter.com/Sxj0vpaXC0 Despite leading all the second half, and taking the lead on a field goal with under a minute left, the Jets were unable to hold the Dolphins, leading to a game-tying kick with seven seconds remaining. In overtime, the Dolphins made easy work of New York, going 70 yards on eight plays, and never facing third down. Jonnu Smith eventually caught the game winning pass in the endzone. Tua Tagovailoa has the Dolphins back in the playoff race, winning four of their last five games. He completed 33 of 47 passes for 331 yards and two touchdowns. Tagovailoa has been on a tear since returning from his concussion, and the Dolphins seem to be getting better, slowly, each week as they get back in rhythm. Tua in 7 games since coming back from injury: 1,973 Passing Yards 15 TD’s 1 INT pic.twitter.com/X75MFVrYbj After being silenced in the absence of Tagovailoa, Tyreek Hill is finally starting to make noise again. Against the Jets, Hill hauled in 10 catches for 115 yards and a touchdown. Jaylen Waddle also had himself a great day, catching nine passes for 99 yards. He also caught a huge two-point conversion to tie the game at 23. Rushing, the Dolphins did nothing. Miami only produced 44 total rushing yards, with De’von Achane racking up 24 of those. Achane also scored a rushing touchdown, but did most of his work through the air. Chance caught six passes for 45 yards, tallying 69 total yards and a touchdown on the day. For the Jets, Rodgers had his first 300-yard passing day of the year. He completed 27 of 39 passes for a total of 339 yards and a touchdown. Receiving, the Jets superstars showed out and gave the Dolphins trouble all afternoon. Garrett Wilson led the way, catching seven passes for 114 yards. Adams caught nine catches for 109 yards and the lone touchdown. Rodgers to Adams and the Jets retake the lead. : #NYJvsMIA on CBS/Paramount+ : https://t.co/waVpO909ge pic.twitter.com/2DllcuTqB4 Without Breece Hall, the Jets were not very efficient on the ground. Rookie Braelon Allen got the ball 11 times and went for 43 yards. He also had four catches for 38 yards. Isaiah Davis, another rookie back, carried the ball 10 times for 40 yards and recorded his first career rushing touchdown. He also caught three passes for 27 yards. The rookie duo combined for 144 yards from scrimmage and a touchdown, which the Jets cannot complain about. This win was massive for the Dolphins, as it kept any hope they had for the playoffs alive. Sitting at 6-7, they sit in the ninth seed two games behind the Denver Broncos. They likely need to win out if they want to have a chance, but even that won't guarantee them a slot in the postseason. Miami travels to Houston next week to take on a very good Texans team, which they need to win.

Ahead of its official launch, multiple leaks have already revealed key features and specifications. The latest leak discloses details about the chip's clock speed, cache, TDP, and other critical specifications. According to a CPU-Z screenshot posted on X by tipster @94G8LA , the Ryzen 9 9950X3D will feature a boost clock of up to 5.65GHz – slightly lower than the 5.7GHz maximum frequency of the standard Ryzen 9 9950X. Earlier rumors, however, suggested that the 9950X3D might share the same clock speed as its non-X3D counterpart. The leaked screenshot identifies the chip as revision GNR-B0 with the code name Granite Ridge, confirming its status as an upcoming Zen 5 CPU. It is listed with 16 cores, 32 threads, a bus speed of 99.78MHz, and a maximum CPU multiplier of x56.5. The CPU-Z data also reveals a TDP of 170W, which matches that of the standard Ryzen 9 9950X but exceeds the 120W TDP of the 7950X3D by 50W. https://t.co/gaRLbdpToW pic.twitter.com/YovV98drQa The image also reveals that the CPU will feature 96MB + 32MB of L3 cache, indicating that both CCDs include 32MB of L3 cache, while the 3D V-Cache chiplet adds an additional 64MB layer. This configuration gives the Ryzen 9 9950X3D a total of 144MB of cache, comprising 128MB of L3 and 16MB of L2. This is consistent with the 3D V-Cache setup of its predecessor, the Ryzen 9 7950X3D. Notably, the chip is marked as an engineering sample, signifying that it is currently undergoing validation testing. This also implies that AMD might adjust some of the specifications, particularly the clock speeds, before the final product hits the market. In addition to the Ryzen 9 9950X3D, AMD is expected to unveil its RDNA 4 GPUs at CES 2025. According to multiple rumors, the company may forego the Radeon RX 8000 naming convention for its next-generation graphics cards, opting instead to market them as part of the Radeon RX 9000 series. Furthermore, Team Red is rumored to introduce FSR 4 at the event, showcasing its continued advancements in graphics technology.It seems like Selena Gomez won't be "Single Soon," now that she's engaged to Benny Blanco. While announcing their engagement on social media Dec. 11, Gomez posted a close-up of her ring. The main diamond takes center stage, but the chunky yellow gold band also sparkles with smaller stones. "When I first saw the ring, all I could think about was how unique it was," jewelry content creator and gemstone wholesaler Julia Hackman Chafé told TODAY.com in an email statement. At first, Chafé was surprised by the ring choice. She expected Gomez to "go for a colored stone ring" since Blanco, whose real name is Benjamin Levin, "specifically wears a lot of colored gemstones." Blanco wore a necklace with a large red stone during his May 2024 TODAY with Hoda & Jenna appearance, for example. Instead, she went for a marquise cut diamond.... Georgina DiNardo
Tubi ‘s imported comedy Big Mood debuted in April 2024 and has left viewers wondering what’s next for friends Maggie ( Nicola Coughlan ) and Eddie ( Lydia West ) ever since it launched. But will the series return for a second season? No official confirmation regarding the show’s future has been made at this time, in other words, it hasn’t been renewed, but it hasn’t been canceled either. In the meantime, we’re breaking down everything we know about the show’s potential return so far, below. Tubi Yes, there’s an abundance of hope due in part to some teases series creator and writer Camilla Whitehill gave about planning for another chapter of the comedy. During an appearance on the Firecrotch & Normcore: They Like to Watch Podcast in July 2024, Whitehill said, “I’m writing Big Mood Series 2, which hasn’t been fully fully greenlit.” She added that regarding a second season, “a few episodes have been commissioned, so I’m working on that. I hope that we will be, that we’ll go again.” Big Mood , as fans saw in Season 1, focuses on the friendship between Eddie and Maggie, the latter of which struggles to live with her bipolar disorder. While Eddie is a big support, she has struggles of her own that often fly under the radar as she tries her best to be there for Maggie. Ultimately, Season 1 ended with Maggie missing out on accompanying Eddie for an abortion due to her mental status. Missing time and space, Maggie eventually shows up at the bar Eddie owned to find a closed sign before she sees Eddie leaving with luggage in a taxi. Nicola Coughlan Weighs in on 'Big Mood' & 'Bridgerton's Friendship Statuses It’s a heartbreaking scene, and Season 2 would likely pick up where things left off, or examine where these friends are some time after the events after spending some time apart. Only time would tell for certain as we await word on the show’s future. When it came to the possibility of a second season, Big Mood stars Coughlan and West were interested in exploring the origin of Maggie and Eddie’s friendship. “If we get a Season 2 — touch wood — I really want a flashback scene to when they met,” Coughlan told TV Insider . “I’d love that. That would be so funny,” West countered. “And it would be full Indie sleaze,” Coughlan added as she continued to paint a metaphorical picture. Will this vision come to life?

British mother dies at ayahuasca retreat in BoliviaPurdy senior Carter Keeling logged a game-high 28 points, including 14 in the opening quarter, as the Purdy High School Eagles defeated the Thomas Jefferson Cavaliers 72-64 in boys hoops action Thursday night at Thomas Jefferson Independent Day School. TJ (3-3) hit a quick 3-pointer from sophomore Jack Twiss in the opening seconds of the first quarter, but Purdy (5-3) went on a 10-0 run, capped off by a Will Henderson trey at 5:52. Twiss stopped the bleeding with his second trey of the quarter at 5:40 to pull the Cavaliers within 4 at 10-6. TJ regained the lead at 3:30 off a 3-pointer by freshman Will Twiss that made it a 13-12 game. Purdy took the lead back seconds later with a Keeling bucket and led until 1:14, when Jack Twiss put the Cavaliers up 18-17 with a free throw. Cavaliers junior Kohl Thurman dropped in a score to close the quarter with TJ leading 20-17. TJ opened the second quarter with a Will Twiss 3-pointer, but Purdy answered with a trey of it own, courtesy of senior Teagan Manwarren. Will Twiss had the answer again as he buried another 3-pointer to give TJ a 26-20 lead. A 3-pointer by Thurman put the Cavaliers up 31-22 with a little more than five minutes left in the half. The Cavaliers claimed a 14-point lead off a Simon Studer trey with about 30 seconds left, but Purdy pared that lead to 11 on a Will Henderson 3-pointer to close out the half with TJ up 41-30. Jack Twiss gave the Cavaliers back their 14-point lead, opening the third quarter with another 3-pointer, but Purdy rallied back to within 6 points at 46-52 at the end of the third after outscoring the Cavaliers 16-12 in the remainder of the third quarter. TJ got a transition bucket from Jack Twiss to open the fourth quarter, but Purdy went on an 8-0 run and tied the game at 54-54 on a Damon Mahurin bucket with 5:50 left in the game. The Eagles took their first lead since the first quarter of the game at the 4:50 mark of the final frame with a Daniel Aldaba score at 4:50. Jack Twiss ended a more than four-minute scoring drought for TJ with a 3-pointer at 3:12 that pulled the Cavaliers within a point at 57-58, but Purdy went on another 8-0 run that gave them a 66-57 lead with 58 seconds left. TJ endured a handful of costly turnovers down the stretch as Purdy held on for the 72-64 win. Despite the loss, the young TJ squad has already matched its win total from last season. "We're a young basketball team that's coming off a three-win season last year," Cavaliers head coach Chris Myers said. "Where we're at is encouraging. We did a lot of really good things tonight. Obviously, we didn't finish the game well, but that is pretty typical of a young team. The more you are in these situations, the more you learn from them and improve your chances of executing in those moments during the second half of the season." Jack Twiss led TJ with 27 points, including five 3-pointers. Thurman logged 13 points and Spencer Long chipped in with 9. Myers talked about brothers Jack and Will Twiss. "All of our kids' efforts tonight was phenomenal, but we do kind of lean heavily on our dual point guard system with the Twiss brothers." Myers said. "They play their hearts out. It becomes contagious, and their teammates follow them." In addition to Keelings' 28 points, the Eagles got 10 from Henderson and 9 from Mahurin. TJ hosts Lockwood High School (2-2) on Monday, while Purdy will travel to Exeter High School (1-6) on Monday.From Shopping to Advice From Warren Buffett
