A busy Sunday for Marshall football continued with the announcement that the Thundering Herd will face No. 19 Army in the Independence Bowl. The game will be played Sunday, Dec. 28, at 9:15 p.m. on ESPN in Shreveport, La. Marshall (10-3) has won seven straight games, including Saturday’s 31-3 win over Louisiana-Lafayette for the Sun Belt Conference championship in just its third season in the league. It was the Herd’s first conference title since beating Louisiana Tech for the Conference USA title in 2014. Earlier Sunday, head coach Charles Huff’s expected move to Southern Miss was confirmed, followed by the announcement that Van native Tony Gibson has been hired to replace him. Associate head coach Telly Lockette will lead the Herd against Army. “I’m grateful for the opportunity to lead these young men into the bowl game,” Lockette said. “It’s been a blessing over the last four years seeing this community rally behind this team and taking it to new heights as SBC Champions. Army is a great opponent, a great team and Coach (Jeff) Monken is a great coach. We’re going to be fired up to play in the game. With the leadership we have, we want to finish this thing off strong for the kids and the community.” Marshall defeated the Ragin’ Cajuns behind two touchdown passes from league Newcomer of the Year Braylon Braxton and 117 yards and a score from Jordan Hudson. Army, in the AAC in its first year under conference affiliation, defeated Tulane 35-14 on Friday. The Marshall-Army series is tied at one win apiece. They last met in 1998, a 35-25 Marshall victory known for wide receiver Randy Moss hurdling a defender after catching a screen pass for a long touchdown. “We are extremely excited to host Marshall and Army – two conference champions in the 48th Radiance Technologies Independence Bowl," said 2024 Independence Bowl Foundation Chair Claire Rebouche. "We are one of the most historic bowls in college football, and these are two programs with rich tradition. We cannot wait to get them to town and show them tremendous hospitality and provide them with a great Bowl Week experience."
( MENAFN - IANS) Maputo, Dec 24 (IANS) The death toll from Cyclone Chido, an intense tropical cyclone that made landfall in northern Mozambique, has risen to 120, with 868 people injured and more than 680,000 affected, according to the latest figures released by Mozambique's national disaster relief agency. Northern provinces of Mozambique, including Cabo Delgado, Nampula, and Niassa have suffered extensive damage from heavy downpour, storms, and flooding caused by Cyclone Chido, according to the National Institute for Disaster Risk Management and Reduction (INGD). The cyclone, which made landfall on December 15 with devastating downpours and storms, caused widespread destruction in Cabo Delgado, Nampula, and Niassa provinces. More than 123,000 families, equivalent to 622,610 people, have been affected, and more than 140,000 houses were partly or completely destroyed, the national disaster relief agency noted. Over 150,000 homes have been destroyed or partially damaged, along with 250 schools, 89 public buildings, and 52 health facilities. Nearly 110,000 students have been impacted, the INGD update showed. In response to the displacement, the government has set up two emergency shelters, currently housing 1,349 people, Xinhua news agency reported. In a social media post on Sunday, the INGD emphasised the severe impact of Cyclone Chido on the education and health sectors. "The Cyclone Chido once again highlights the vulnerability of social infrastructure to climate change and the need for resilient planning to mitigate future impacts," the post read. Cyclone Chido formed over the southwestern Indian Ocean on December 5. After devastating Mayotte, a French overseas territory, it made landfall in Mozambique on December 15, leaving a trail of destruction in its wake. Authorities and international humanitarian organisations continue to appeal for support to address the urgent needs of affected communities. Cyclone Chido is a tropical depression, characterised by a region of low atmospheric pressure over an ocean, accompanied by a circular wind pattern generated by thunderstorms. These systems exhibit maximum sustained wind speeds of 61 km/h or lower. Should a tropical depression strengthen, it can evolve into a tropical storm, which is defined by wind speeds ranging from 62 km/h to 119 km/h. Winds exceeding this threshold classify the system as a tropical cyclone.
