4+ min ago (246+ words) Can the Chicago Bulls stop the bleeding tonight? All things considered, there are few better road trips to make for a team reeling. While the Hornets have already taken down the Bulls once during this losing streak, they will come into this one banged up. The team also remains one of the worst at limiting points in the paint and halting the fastbreak " two areas where the Bulls tend to flourish. It's hard to deem any game in December a "must-win," but this might as well be as close as you can get. The same can be said about Sunday night's showing against the New Orleans Pelicans. If Chicago can't finally snap their skid here, things could only get worse with Cleveland and Atlanta making up the four games before Christmas. 1. Josh Giddey2. Coby White3. Isaac Okoro4.

Micah Beckwith shared their disappointment and alluded to potential repercussions for the state from the Trump administration. House Bill 1032, which would have given Republicans an advantage in all nine congressional districts, was introduced and passed in the House last week in a 57-41 vote. On Thursday, the Senate defeated the measure with 31 senators voting against it and 19 in favor of the proposed map, which would have split the 1st District, currently held by U.S. Rep. Frank Mrvan, D-Highland, into two, and the 7th District, currently held by U.S. Rep. Andr" Carson, D-Indianapolis, into four districts. Jennifer Hora, a professor of political science at Valparaiso University, said many political analysts thought the bill wouldn't pass the Senate, but that it would be a close vote. "The…...

1+ hour ago (706+ words) Look at him now. Making his varsity debut last season playing only on defense, Oswego cornerback Mariano Velasco often was a target in the game plans of many opponents. This season, the 5-foot-11, 180-pound senior became a scourge for those same tacticians who tried to avoid the hard-hitting Velasco. He also expanded his role to include receiver on offense. "I'm definitely always trying to play the ball, make a play on it," said Velasco, who had an area-best six interceptions and returned four for touchdowns. "I was really proud of my pick-sixes. "I know I can do something with the ball in that situation. The receiver and running back in me comes out. I flip to offense, which I played when I was younger, and just try to score every time I get the ball in open space." Big plays…...
