Washington, D.C. – The recent steep plunge in domestic gas prices may be affected by the results of Sunday’s meeting of OPEC+, a group of 23 oil-producing nations, including Saudi Arabia and Russia.

Domestic gasoline prices have dropped 26 cents nationally in the past two weeks. But OPEC+ decided to maintain output cuts of 2 million barrels per day, about 2% of world demand.

The purpose of the move is to boost the global price of oil, which has fallen recently on fears of demand weakness, specifically in China. Regardless, the national average pump price for a gallon of gas dropped 14 cents in the past week to $3.40.

“Gas prices are dropping sharply and are only a nickel more per gallon than a year ago,” said Andrew Gross, AAA spokesperson. “But with oil being the main ingredient in gasoline, OPEC+’s move could slow this decline. However, the gas price will likely soon be lower than it was a year ago.”

According to data from the Energy Information Administration (EIA), gas demand held steady at 3.2 million b/d. Meanwhile, total domestic gasoline stocks rose by nearly 2.8 million bbl to 213.8 million bbl. Increasing supply and steady gasoline demand have contributed to pushing pump prices lower.

Today’s national average of $3.40 is 39 cents less than a month ago and 5 cents more than a year ago.

Quick Stats 

The nation’s top 10 largest weekly decreases: California (?27 cents), Oregon (?26 cents), Nevada (?22 cents), Indiana (?22 cents), Alaska (?21 cents), Washington (?21 cents), Michigan (?19 cents), Arizona (?19 cents), Illinois (?19 cents) and Montana (?19 cents).

The nation’s top 10 least expensive markets: Texas ($2.78), Oklahoma ($2.86), Arkansas ($2.92), Mississippi ($2.94), Missouri ($2.95), Georgia ($2.95), Louisiana ($2.96), Tennessee ($2.98), Kansas ($2.99) and Wisconsin ($3.01).

Oil Market Dynamics

At the close of Friday’s formal trading session, WTI decreased by $1.24 to settle at $79.98. A weaker dollar contributed to decreasing prices.

Earlier in the week, crude prices were boosted by the EIA reporting that total domestic commercial crude stocks fell dramatically by 12.6 million bbl. The domestic commercial crude supply is 14 million bbl lower than at the end of November 2021.

For this week, crude prices could rise in response to the European Union, Australia, Japan, United States, Canada, and the U.K. beginning to implement a $60.00 per barrel price cap on Russian seaborne crude oil, which is meant to limit the country’s revenues in response to the Ukrainian invasion.

This effort follows Sunday’s virtual meeting for the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and its allies, also known as OPEC+, where the cartel agreed to keep its production reduction agreement of 2 million b/d unchanged through 2023.

Washington, D.C. – The New Axis of Evil is on the move, and what is President Joe Biden doing? He is firing our servicemembers for not getting the COVID-19 shot.

The military vaccine mandate is contributing to a recruitment shortfall and jeopardizing our national security. Instead of sticking to their sworn duty to defend our nation, left-wing leaders have made it their mission to control every aspect of our lives.

We need to stand with the men and women in uniform and protect our troops. I am working hard to ensure the final NDAA includes protections for our servicemembers from being fired over Joe Biden’s vaccine mandate.

Weekly Rundown

Protests have erupted across China, and it is clear that the Chinese people are fed up with the strict lockdowns that have trapped citizens in their own homes and threatened the country’s food supply chain. These frightening conditions are only the latest in a long history of abuse by Xi Jinping and the Chinese Communist Party. I stand with the peaceful protestors in China fighting for freedom.

I sent a letter to Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Chair Lina Khan demanding to know why the FTC hasn’t implemented my bipartisan legislation, the Better Online Ticket Sales (BOTS) Act, to prevent ticket scalpers from using bots on online ticketing websites to buy and then resell tickets at inflated prices. Despite this legislation being signed into law in 2016, fans are still continuously priced out by ticket scalpers.

Apple and Google currently have a stranglehold on companies and have used their leverage to bully businesses. I introduced the Open App Markets Act with Senator Richard Blumenthal to break up the duopoly that exists around Google and Apple by forcing them to allow alternative app marketplaces onto their iOS and Android mobile operating systems. It’s time to stop Big Tech from influencing the information we consume.

Knoxville, TN – Dominating around the rim on both ends of the floor, the 13th-ranked Tennessee Volunteers dropped Alcorn State, 94-40, Sunday night at Thompson-Boling Arena.

The Volunteers (7-1) outscored Alcorn State (3-6) 50-16 in the paint on the evening, throwing down a season-high seven dunks and almost doubling the Braves in rebounds, 44-23. That domination down low led to a 54-point margin of victory, tying for the eighth-best in program history—last done December 18th, 2020, against Tennessee Tech.

A strong night all-around for UT was led by Olivier Nkamhoua, who had a team-high 20 points and six assists, which marked a career-best. His night was joined by an outstanding effort from Jahmai Mashack, who recorded career-highs in points (13), rebounds (seven) and steals (four). Zakai Zeigler also impressed on the defensive side, leading the squad with five takeaways in the game, matching a career-best.

Zeigler was the leader for the Volunteer defense that poked away 13 steals in the game. For the third time this season, the Tennessee defense logged more steals than it gave away turnovers, posting a 13-11 margin. Continuing the momentum from last time out against McNeese State Wednesday, the Vols posted a season-best 36 points off turnovers, outscoring the Braves 36-7, while conceding just two second-chance points and three fast-break points. Tennessee, on the other hand, had 20 second-chance points and 20 fast-break points.

As a whole, the Vols finished with six players in double-figures for scoring. Nkamhoua and Mashack were complemented by Julian Phillips’ 18 points, Uros Plavsic’s 12, Tyreke Key’s 11 and Zeigler’s 10. The night marked the first game since December 21st, 2020, that the Big Orange had six individuals finish with 10 or more points, doing so against Saint Joseph’s that night.

The offense supplied the firepower early. Tennessee earned a 49-22 lead after the first half of action, courtesy of 14 points from Phillips on 5-of-7 shooting, and nine points from Key, courtesy of three made 3-pointers. The offense played a mostly clean half, only surrendering three turnovers while notching six steals in the first 20 minutes. Alcorn State did not make a 3-pointer in the period, and the Vols kept up their stretch of assisting on made baskets, logging 14 assists on 17 buckets in the half after posting assists on 91.3 percent (21-of-23) of its scores from the field against McNeese.

The Vols opened the second half on a 14-2 run and added to its advantage the entire half. Tennessee utterly dominated in the paint in the final 20 minutes, outscoring Alcorn 26-4 down low. Nkamhoua was a large part of that success. He was on fire in the stanza, dropping 14 points on 5-of-6 shooting, including a 3-pointer, and hitting all four free throws.

Tennessee, for much of the game, looked automatic at the free-throw line, finishing the night 20-of-24 and having a stretch with 19 consecutive makes during 25:35 of game action. Phillips and Nkhamoua wrapped up the night perfect at the line, leading the team with seven makes each.

Spreading The Love

Tennessee had six players score in double figures for the first time since Dec. 21, 2020.

Olivier Nkamhoua (20), Julian Phillips (18), Jahmai Mashack (13), Uros Plavsic (12), Tyreke Key (11) and Zakai Zeigler (10) all registered double figures in scoring during Sunday’s win.

Orange Crush

For the first time since March 7th, 2015, Tennessee wore orange uniforms at home. It marked just the fourth time since 1980 that the Vols have donned orange uniforms at home.

Doing Numbers

Sunday’s 54-point victory is tied for Tennessee’s eighth-largest margin of victory in program history, and its largest since defeating Tennessee Tech by 54 points on December 18th, 2020.

Defending TBA

Tennessee extended its home win streak to 21 games with Sunday’s victory—a streak that dates to March 7th, 2021. The Vols’ current home win streak is the sixth-longest in program history. Tennessee has also now won 18 straight home games against non-conference opponents.

Lockdown Defense

Tennessee has now held its opponent under the 1.000 points-per-possession mark in seven of eight games this season, going undefeated when doing so.

The Vols held Alcorn State to .588 ppp on Wednesday—the fewest points-per-possession that Tennessee has allowed in a game this season.

James Back, Vescovi Out

While Josiah-Jordan James returned for the Vols Sunday after missing four games, fellow senior guard Santiago Vescovi missed the contest due to a shoulder injury suffered during Wednesday’s win over McNeese State.

Prior to Sunday, Vescovi had not missed a game during his Tennessee career—suiting up for the Vols in 88 consecutive games.

Lockdown Defense PT. 2

For the sixth time this season, Tennessee held its opponent below 33 percent shooting from the field for the game. Alcorn State finished the night shooting 27.1 percent (13-for-48)—a season-low by a Tennessee opponent.

Next Up For UT Men’s Basketball

The Tennessee Vols basketball team rounds out their current three-game homestand, welcoming Eastern Kentucky to Rocky Top on Wednesday, December 7th, at 6:00pm CT. The game will be televised on SEC Network and tickets are available for purchase at AllVols.com.

Knoxville, TN – A historic 10-win season filled with memorable moments on Rocky Top will culminate on Friday, December 30th, in Miami as the Tennessee Volunteers will square off against the Clemson Tigers in the 89th Capital One Orange Bowl in Hard Rock Stadium.

Kickoff is set for 7:00pm CT on ESPN. Tickets to the general public are on sale through the Orange Bowl via Ticketmaster.

The sixth-ranked and at-large Volunteers (10-2) will make their first-ever New Year’s Six appearance in the College Football Playoff era and first in the Orange Bowl since Peyton Manning’s senior season on January 2nd, 1998. It’s Tennessee’s fifth Orange Bowl berth all-time, which includes games in 1939, ’47, ’68, and ’98.

Clemson (11-2) claimed the ACC Championship with a 39-10 victory over North Carolina on Saturday night in Charlotte. The Tigers and Vols will face off for the 19th time but for just the second time in the last 45 years. Clemson won the previous meeting on Jan. 2, 2003, in the Peach Bowl.

Second-year Tennessee head coach Josh Heupel has led the Vols to a national resurgence after taking over a program that was 3-7 prior to his arrival. He has compiled a 17-8 record, winning 12 of his last 15 games with his team setting multiple school records in the process. The 2022 campaign was the first 10-win regular season for UT since 2003, and it featured key victories over final CFP No. 5 Alabama and current Associated Press poll No. 16 LSU by 27 in Baton Rouge.

Heisman Trophy candidate Hendon Hooker guided an offense that led the country in scoring offense (47.3) and total offense (538.1) before being sidelined to injury for the remainder of the season. Biletnikoff Award finalist Jalin Hyatt led the nation in receiving touchdowns (15) and ranked fourth nationally in receiving yards (1,267). A UT rushing attack sparked by Jabari Small and Jaylen Wright was tops in the country in rushing touchdowns with 39.

The Vols finished No. 6 in the final College Football Playoff selection committee rankings and No. 6 in the AP Top 25 and AFCA Coaches poll. They head to the Orange Bowl ranked in the top 10 for 11 consecutive weeks in the AP poll, marking the program’s longest streak in the same season since all 17 weeks of the 1999 campaign.

Clarksville, TN – It’s beginning to look like Christmas here in Clarksville after the 63rd annual Christmas Parade. On December 3rd at 5:00pm residents of Clarksville gathered around the streets starting from University Street all around to Franklin Street to see the Clarksville Lighted Christmas Parade.

This year’s parade featured 100 participants who gathered at Austin Peay State University and made their way around Downtown Clarksville.

As residents waited for the parade’s arrival Christmas music played gleefully in the background. Families had coffee in their hands while children positioned themselves for candy to be thrown.

Each year the parade has a theme and this year’s theme was “Christmas movies”. The judges for this year’s parade sat at the table in front of F&M Bank.

The Clarksville Parks and Recreation Department have been planning this event since last December to ensure this was the best experience for Clarksville and Montgomery County residents.

Amanda Pitt, Clarksville Parks and Recreation Event Planning Specialist said, “I am looking forward to the amazing pictures and all of the families coming to enjoy this and making memories with one another.”

When picking the theme for this year Pitt mentioned that it had to be something versatile for those creating the float. Also, it would be interesting to see if “Die Hard” is a Christmas movie or not.

“It’s very fun to see what everyone is going to bring and to see a lot of your favorites out there,” mentioned Pitt.

At the judge’s table, Ginna Holleman sat beside Angela Andrews and two other judges to help pick their favorite floats.

“Creativity is something I am looking for and connection to the theme, team effort in the decoration and the building of the float. And the originality of the float,” Holleman stated.

Holleman has been a resident of Clarksville for 30-plus years and this Christmas parade is something she looks forward to each year.

“Seeing the children’s responses and reactions in their eyes as they light up, as-the floats- come around the corner and see the magic that each float brings and how excited they get and make all the work you put into it worthwhile,” Holleman mentioned.

There is nothing like the look in all the children’s eyes as the parade went by. They were all up and shouting when Santa Clause came by.

A good time has had by all and the floats were simply amazing.

Knoxville, TN – Senior Jordan Horston recorded her second double-double of the season on Sunday, as RV/RV Tennessee battled No. 9/9 Virginia Tech down to the wire in a nail-biter before coming up short in Thompson-Boling Arena, 59-56, in the 2022 Jimmy V Women’s Classic.
 
The Lady Vols (4-5), who were playing without senior Rickea Jackson, graduate Jasmine Franklin and sophomore Jillian Hollingshead, were led by Horston who finished with a season-high and game-high 26 points, 11 rebounds and two steals. Seniors Tamari Key and Jasmine Powell were also top contributors, logging 11 and nine points, respectively. Powell also dished out a team-high six assists.
 
Four players were in double figures for the Hokies (8-0), with Kayana Traylor leading the effort with 18. Cayla King turned in 11 points and Georgia Amoore and D’asia Gregg each finished with 10.

A 3-pointer by Traylor extended that lead to 12 before Horston drove into the lane to end the drought for UT. Key followed it up with a bucket from the block on the next possession to whittle the deficit down to single digits by the 3:32 mark. The teams traded buckets through the end of the quarter with the Hokies scoring last to lead by 10 at 23-13.
 
Marta Suárez scored on Tennessee’s first possession of the second period, and VT responded with a trey on the other end, but the Lady Vols battled back within seven by the 7:05 mark.

Another 3-pointer by the Hokies stretched their lead back to 10 by the midway point of the quarter, but Horston answered with a three of her own and followed it up with a layup to set off a 7-0 run that pulled the Lady Vols back within three with 2:14 to go. Amoore hit Virginia Tech’s sixth and final three of the half with just over 90 seconds to play, but a pair of free throws by Horston set the halftime deficit at four with a score of 34-30.
 
Both teams came out hot in the second half, scoring on each of their first two possessions, but Tennessee then hit a scoring slump while the Hokies racked up a 10-0 run to lead 46-34 three and a half minutes into the third quarter, forcing a Lady Vol timeout. Coming out of the huddle, the Big Orange cut it back to 10 off a pair of free throws by Horston, and two more by Tess Darby on the next possession pulled UT within eight.

Virginia Tech once again led by 10 following a 3-pointer by Gregg at the 2:16 mark, but Horston scored the final bucket of the period on the fast break to send the game into the final stanza with the Lady Vols trailing 51-43.
 
Powell cut the deficit to six with a jumper 12 seconds into the fourth, but Traylor responded with a bucket on the other end, and the game became a back-and-forth affair with the score standing at 55-47 with five minutes left in the game.
 
Both teams struggled to score following the final media timeout, but with 3:47 to go, Key blocked a shot under the VT basket, and Horston turned it into two points from the free-throw line on the other end. Powell found Key down low on UT’s next possession, and Key beat her defender, hitting the short two to pull the Lady Vols within four at 55-51 with just under three minutes remaining.
 
The UT Lady Vols got a couple looks on offense but couldn’t convert before Kitley hit a jumper to stretch the lead back to six with just under a minute to play. Key responded with a six-foot jumper on UT’s next possession, and Horston came up with a steal with 30 seconds to play and hit the second of a pair of free throws to pull the Big Orange within three with 23 seconds on the clock.
 
Tennessee fouled Gregg on the inbounds, and she hit one free throw, giving the Lady Vols the ball back with 15 seconds to play. Horston nailed a jumper with nine seconds left in the game to move UT within two at 58-56, and Powell tied the ball up on the inbounds pass with the possession arrow in Tennessee’s favor. Horston got an open jumper on the baseline, but it bounced long off the rim, and VT hit the second of a pair of free throws to hold Tennessee off with a final score of 59-56.

Dropping 20+

With 26 points against VT, Jordan Horston logged UT’s sixth 20+-point effort of the season. With three on the year, Horston accounts for half of UT’s individual performances of 20 or more points.

Dominating The Paint

The Tennessee Lady Vols out-rebounded the Hokies 46-31 to win the battle of the boards for the fourth straight contest and sixth game of the season.

Key On Defense Once Again

After holding 2022 ACC Player of the Year Elizabeth Kitley to four points on 1-of-12 shooting last year, Tamari Key and UT’s inside game limited the All-American to six points on Sunday via a 3-for-13 day from the field.

Arlington, VA – Statistics show that the incidence of home fires and electrical accidents typically increases during the winter holiday season.

To combat this, the Electrical Safety Foundation International (ESFI) is launching its annual holiday safety campaign by providing tips to help consumers prevent household fires and accidents caused by improper cooking, heating, and holiday decorating practices. 

“According to the National Fire Protection Association, 860 home fires are caused by holiday decorations, while an additional 210 home fires are caused by Christmas trees per year,” said ESFI President Brett Brenner. “Taking preventative measures when cooking, heating, and decorating can help prevent fires while you enjoy this festive time of year.”

The organization’s website, holidaysafety.org, offers a variety of free-to-share resources that can be shared with your family, your workplace, and throughout your community. Follow these steps to help ensure your safety during the winter holidays:

Decorating Safety

• Twenty-five percent of holiday fires are caused by electrical decorations. Never leave these on while sleeping or away from home.
• When purchasing a live tree, check for freshness and be sure to water your tree daily until it’s properly disposed of.
• Never leave an open flame, including the fireplace or candles, unattended.
• Keep young children and pets away from holiday lights, electrical decorations, and extension cords to prevent injuries.
• Use electrical decorations and lights only for their labeled purpose, indoor or outdoor. Don’t use indoor decorations outside, as water and electricity should never mix.
• Keep all decorations three feet away from heat sources.
• Carefully inspect decorations before use. Cracked or frayed sockets, loose or bare wires, and loose connections may cause a shock or start a fire.
• Use only electrical decorations and lights that have been approved for safe use by a nationally recognized testing laboratory.
• Avoid plugging too many decorations into a single outlet. Overloaded outlets can overheat and cause fires.
• Ensure cords are not pinched in doors, windows, under heavy furniture, or rugs that could damage the cord and cause a fire.
• Always unplug decorations using the gripping area. Pulling on the cord could damage the wire and present a shock or fire hazard.

Heating Safety

• Replace worn or old heating pads and electric blankets. Look for dark, charred, or frayed spots or cracked or frayed electric cords. 
• Do not allow anything on top of a heating pad or electric blanket when it is in use. It may cause the device to overheat.
• Keep anything that can burn at least three feet from heat sources.
• Never leave a space heater unattended. Turn off when leaving a room or sleeping.
• Never plug a space heater into an extension cord or power strip, as this could cause the cords to overheat and cause a fire.
• Never use a cooking stove to heat your home or dry clothes.
• Place space heaters on level, flat surfaces on the ground. 
• Have a qualified service professional inspect your heating system annually.
• Install and maintain smoke and carbon monoxide alarms. 
• Never use a space heater or appliance with a damaged cord.

Cooking Safety

• Keep anything that can catch fire away from your stove top.
• Always unplug countertop appliances when not in use.
• Double-check that everything is off when you finish cooking.
• Prevent fires by keeping your oven and stove top clean of grease and dust. 
• Never leave the kitchen while cooking.
• Never cook while tired, drinking alcohol, or taking medication that makes you drowsy.
• Never disable a smoke alarm while cooking.
• Children should be closely supervised and kept at least three feet away from all cooking appliances.
• Keep anything that can catch fire away from your stove top.

Tennessee Titans 26, Philadelphia Eagles 23 OT
2018 Week 4 | Sunday, September 30th, 2018 | 12:00pm CT
Nashville, TN | Nissan Stadium

Nashville, TN – In Week 4 of the 2018 season, the Tennessee Titans hosted the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles and won in overtime by a score of 26-23.

QB Marcus Mariota, making his first start since Week 1, guided the Titans to a scoring drive on Tennessee’s opening possession.

Mariota connected with RB Derrick Henry for 13 yards and a first down, and WR Corey Davis for 28 yards and a first down, as the Titans ultimately kicked a 42-yard field goal to take an early 3-0 lead. The Titans’ defense forced Philadelphia to punt on both first-quarter possessions.

In the second quarter, the Eagles put together an eight-play, 97-yard scoring drive.

Eagles QB Carson Wentz connected with Eagles TE Zach Ertz for three first downs, and Eagles RB Jay Ajayi rushed for a first down before Wentz connected with Eagles WR Jordan Matthews for a 56-yard score. Philadelphia took a 7-3 lead.

Late in the second quarter, Mariota threw an interception to Eagles CB Avonte Maddox, who picked off the ball and returned it 23 yards. Philadelphia capitalized on the turnover, as Eagles K Jake Elliot converted a 27-yard field goal for a 10-3 Philadelphia lead heading into halftime.

On the Eagles’ opening drive of the second half, Wentz connected with Ertz and Eagles WR Alshon Jeffery for first downs, en route to Philadelphia’s 12-play, 75-yard scoring drive. Ultimately, Wentz connected with Jeffery for a 16-yard touchdown and extended the Eagles’ lead to 17-3.

The Tennessee Titans’ offense took the field and immediately responded with their own scoring drive. Mariota connected with Davis and WR Tajaé Sharpe for first downs, but Mariota made the contest a one-possession game as he rushed in a two-yard touchdown. Tennessee closed in on Philadelphia’s lead, 17-10.

In the fourth quarter with the Eagles driving at midfield, OLB Harold Landry III strip-sacked Wentz and the ball was recovered by OLB Derrick Morgan. Tennessee took advantage of the turnover, as the Titans tacked on another field goal and inched closer, 17-13. On the Titans’ following possession, Mariota connected with Davis for a 51-yard reception to flip field position. Mariota was then able to hit Sharpe for an 11-yard touchdown, as Tennessee scored 17 consecutive points and took a 20-17 lead.

However, with 21 seconds remaining in regulation, Philadelphia was able to enter the red zone and kick a game-tying field goal, to send the contest to overtime knotted at 20-20.

On the Eagles’ first overtime possession, Wentz marched the offense down the field on a nine-play, 56-yard drive that resulted in a go-ahead field goal, 23-20. The Tennessee offense took the field needing to score, and converted three fourth downs en route to a 16-play, 75-yard scoring drive.

Mariota threw a 19-yard strike to WR Taywan Taylor on fourth-and-15, and a 17-yard pass to RB Dion Lewis on fourth-and-two, before he found Davis in the endzone for a 10-yard touchdown pass and a 26-23 Titans walk-off victory.

Clarksville, TN – Cameron Copeland was the only change to Austin Peay State University’s lineup to begin the second half, but it was the most impactful.

Copeland and Elijah Hutchins-Everett combined to outscore Tennessee State 30-25 after halftime in the Governors’ 76-61 win Saturday. Austin Peay (4-5) closed the series in the Winfield Dunn Center winning five-straight, including four by 15 points or more. The Governors snapped a three-game skid overall.

“In the first half, we didn’t stick to the gameplan,” Austin Peay State University head coach Nate James said. “At halftime, we changed some things because their guards were getting downhill. I think (Marcus) Fitzgerald Jr. had 12, 14 points in the first half, but in the second half, it was completely different. We locked in, defended, took away the 3, outrebounded them, and we held them down. Because of that defensive effort, it really led to our offense (taking off), so now we’re clicking on both ends of the floor.”

The Governors erased a 36-30 halftime deficit by scoring the first eight points after intermission and opening the frame on a 10-1 run through its first 3:42. The Tigers did not make their first second-half field goal until the 14:30 mark and were outscored 33-10 in the first 13 minutes. Austin Peay State University outscored Tennessee State (4-4) 47-25 in the final period. Hutchins-Everett tallied 16 of his 19 points in the half. Copeland scored 14 of his 16 points in the period.

“I picked up my physicality on the defensive end, and we got a lot of stops,” Copeland said. “It gave me a lot of confidence on the offensive end.”

Hutchins-Everett shot 4-of-6 from the floor and 7-of-8 from the free-throw line in the final 20 minutes. Copeland was 6-of-8 from the field, including 2-of-3 from deep. Six of Copeland’s season-high eight rebounds also came in the half.

The APSU Govs shot 60 percent (15-of-25) from the floor and 87.5 percent (14-of-16) from the charity stripe after intermission. Austin Peay State University led by double digits in the final 12:11 and by as many as 17 twice.

“We’re still learning and growing,” James commented. “We’re a very young team, and I like to see steady progress.”

APSU Govs’ Sean Durugordon scored 15 of his career-high 24 points in the first half on 6-of-9 shooting, including a 3-of-6 clip from deep. His team shot 42.3 percent (11-of-26) from the floor and 41.7 percent (5-of-12) from beyond the arc.

“If we can keep building on this and win these next two home games, we’ll be headed in the right direction,” James said. “Ultimately every win is a great win. I’m so happy that our guys pulled it out, found a way to perform, and we just have to keep getting better.

Next Up For APSU Men’s Basketball

The Austin Peay State University men’s basketball team hosts Kentucky Christian on December 6th at 6:00pm CT in the fourth of five-straight games in the Dunn Center.

Nashville, TN – Tennessee Governor Bill Lee has announced his infrastructure proposal, “Build With Us,” to address critical transportation needs across the state.

The proposed legislation will ensure the Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT), under the leadership of Commissioner Butch Eley, meets the state’s current and future transportation challenges – both urban and rural – to prepare for increased economic advantages.

“As Tennessee continues to experience unprecedented growth, it’s critical we invest in roads and bridges to fully harness our state’s success,” said Governor Bill Lee. “I asked Commissioner Eley to look at best practices around the country to see what’s working and what isn’t. The Build With Us plan will provide quality infrastructure in both rural and urban communities and blunt congestion without raising the gas tax or going into debt.”

Tennessee’s growth is far outpacing roadway capacity investments. $26 billion is needed over and above the 2017 IMPROVE Act to address both urban and rural congestion in Tennessee. This includes nearly $14 billion in the four major urban areas – Nashville, Memphis, Chattanooga, and Knoxville.

To address the state’s transportation needs, the Lee administration is developing a modern approach to tackle urban congestion while preserving funds to address rural transportation challenges, providing an expanded set of project delivery tools, and creating a new paradigm for running a high-performance department of transportation.

The proposal seeks the use of Public-Private Partnerships (P3s) that allow private investment in new roadway infrastructure. Tennessee is the only state in the southeast that does not allow such partnerships for developing roads and bridges.

Under these arrangements, private-sector partner contracts with TDOT to design, build, finance, operate, and maintain Choice Lanes. Choice Lanes give drivers the option to pay a user fee to access an additional lane with more reliable trip times, while keeping the option to use traditional highway lanes.

Information about the “Build With Us” initiative can be found here: www.tn.gov/tdot/build-with-us.html.

Nashville, TN – The Tennessee Titans and Philadelphia Eagles franchises have met on only 12 prior occasions. The Eagles hold a 7-5 advantage in a series that has swung dramatically.

Since the Eagles took the initial six contests, the Titans have won five of the last six matchups, including the most recent game in 2018.

The series dates back more than four decades, to when the two teams met at the Houston Astrodome on November 12th, 1972. The game was won by Philadelphia 18-17, and the Eagles would go on to win the next five games as well in the series through 1994.

The trend was reversed with a last-second 15-13 victory by the Titans in 2000 at Veterans Stadium. Since then, the only loss by the Titans to the Eagles was in Philadelphia on November 23rd, 2014, when despite a record-setting passing total by quarterback Zach Mettenberger, the Titans were ultimately defeated by a final score of 43-24. Mettenberger’s 345 passing yards set a franchise rookie record. However, Mark Sanchez’s 307 passing yards and LeSean McCoy’s 130 rushing yards were too much for the Titans to overcome.

In the 2018 meeting at Nissan Stadium, Marcus Mariota’s 10-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Corey Davis in overtime provided a thrilling ending to a 26-23 victory. The Eagles took the lead with a field goal on the first drive of overtime, but then Mariota directed a 16-play, 75- yard drive that concluded with his game-winning toss with only five seconds remaining on the clock.

Clarksville, TN – Sgt. Johnny Ransdell and Officer Dallin Bridges with the Clarksville Police Department’s Community Resource Unit (CRU), stopped by Manna Cafe Ministries, 605 Providence Boulevard Friday, December 2nd to drop off reflective belts, straps, and keychain tags.

They are trying to promote visibility and help prevent pedestrian crashes and fatalities involving motor vehicles.

Nineteen reflective belts, 132 reflective keychains, and 156 reflective bands were dropped off at Manna Cafe Ministries with the intention that they will distribute the donated items to the citizens that frequent the area.

Common factors in most severe/fatal injury crashes were pedestrians crossing roadways between intersections or walking in the roadway.

Another commonality involved pedestrians wearing dark clothing after dusk, making it difficult for drivers to see them.

The Clarksville Police Department wants to emphasize that pedestrians should always cross roadways at intersections and crosswalks.
