Central Valley Annihilates Aliquippa 45-6

Aliquippa fumbled on their first possession of the game, and that set the tone for the rest of the evening. Central Valley turned the turnover into a 7-point lead with a 6 yard rush from Ameer Dudley.  Aliquippa turned the ball over again, and Central Valley capitalized again after a 5 yard rush on an end around. The Quips fumbled the ball again and Central Valley DB Reed Fitzsimmons scored on defense, making the score 21-0.  The warriors continued to pile it on, adding a 49 yard TD pass to Jawon Hall, and a 30 yard field goal that bounced off the post and went in, bringing the score to 31-0. Stephan Hall scored for the Warriors just before the half on a 3 yard run making the score to 38-0, and more importantly, initiating the 35 point mercy role.

The second half was much more quiet than the first. The only score of the 3rd quarter happened when Jawon Hall caught a second TD pass for 35 yards, giving Central Valley a 45-0 lead. In the 4th quarter, Aliquippa was able to get on the board with a TD run from Antonio Quinn, but they missed the 2 point conversion, which brought the game to its final score 45-6.

Man to Stand Trial for Alleged Incident Involving Disabled Teen at McGuire Memorial in New Brighton

A man will stand trial for allegedly jumping on a teen while working as a caregiver at a New Brighton facility for physically and developmentally disabled people. Tyler Smith was in court today for a preliminary hearing at the Beaver County Courthouse. He is accused of jumping on top of a sleeping 13-year-old and injuring the teen’s head and neck while working at the McGuire Memorial Home in New Brighton. According to Smith’s attorney, two charges were withdrawn because of the statute of limitations. His only remaining charge is endangering the welfare of children. Investigators uncovered the evidence against Smith during a different investigation into another former caregiver. Last year, criminal charges were filed against Zachary Dinell. He is accused of taking hundreds of nude pictures and videos of adults and children. A co-worker also accused Dinell of rape. Smith’s trial is scheduled to start next spring.

Trump Predicts ‘Bad Things’ from DOJ Review

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump says “really bad things” will come from a Justice Department criminal investigation into the origins of the Russia probe. Trump says the now-concluded special counsel probe into Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election was a “hoax” and that “terrible things went on for our country.” He says he’s leaving the matter to Attorney General William Barr. Barr had enlisted the U.S. attorney in Connecticut to conduct an administrative review of the Russia probe.

White House Pushing Back Against Criticism it Lacks Coordinated Effort to Fight Impeachment Inquiry

WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House is pushing back against criticism it lacks a coordinated effort to fight House Democrats’ impeachment inquiry and could do a better job delivering its message. White House spokeswoman Stephanie Grisham told Fox News Channel on Thursday it’s difficult “to message anything that’s going on behind closed doors” and it’s like “fighting a ghost.” The House impeachment inquiry is examining whether President Donald Trump withheld military aid to pressure Ukraine to investigate Joe Biden.

Is Age a Major Issue in 2020 Presidential Race? Voters Aren’t Sure

MARSHALLTOWN, Iowa (AP) — Bernie Sanders insists he feels better than ever less than a month after heart surgery, but his return to the campaign trail this week sparked new questions about the unusually old age of the Democratic Party’s leading 2020 presidential candidates. The 78-year-old Sanders and 76-year-old Joe Biden suggest their age isn’t a major issue, but voters aren’t so sure. Gordon Lundberg is a 71-year-old retired Lutheran pastor from Ames, Iowa, and says candidates’ health is a key issue for him.

Chicago Police: What Motivated Abortion Doctor to Keep Over 2,000 Sets of Fetal Remains at his Home?

CHICAGO (AP) — Questions about what motivated an abortion doctor to keep over 2,000 sets of fetal remains at his Chicago-area home may never be fully answered. The remains were discovered stacked in Urlich Klopfer’s garage after he died at age 79 on Sept. 3. Was he a hoarder? Was he trying to save on disposal costs? Or was he hoping to torment his enemies after his death? He may have taken the answer to his grave.
