The visitors actually trailed Marietta by a point at halftime before out-pointing the Tigers 18-4 in the third quarter and then pulling away to their second victory in as many tries in the young 2025-2026 season. The Cadets threatened to run away from the Tigers in the opening half as they forced Marietta into 13 turnovers but their inability to hit shots from the perimeter allowed Marietta to stay in the game. Fort Frye made just 1-of-11 shots from behind the arc in the opening half a number that would improve dramatically in the second. First-year Cadet head coach Cathy Borich felt like patience on her team’s part was the difference in the shots falling in the second half.

Those would be the only two buckets of the second quarter for the Cadets as Marietta ended the half with a 10-0 run to take a 17-16 lead into the break. Tiger senior Hayleigh Chidester scored six of those ten points while sophomore Maya Diki added the other four to send the Tigers to the intermission with momentum clearly on their side. That momentum wouldn’t last long at all as the Cadets came out like a different team in the second half. Huffman’s two-pointer opened the quarter for the Cadets before Tiger senior Lauren Elliott knocked down a triple to put Marietta back on top. That lead would be short lived as the Cadets got two-pointers from Khoen Courson, Huffman and Morgenstern and a triple by junior Ella Dowler to take an eight-point lead. A Chidester free throw briefly stopped the bleeding for the Tigers but Morgenstern and Courson would ring the bell from long distance as Fort Frye out-scored Marietta 18-4 in the third period to turn the one-point deficit into a 13-point lead. First-year Tiger head coach Ally Shane has seen her team struggle out of the gate in the second half more than once in the early part of the season. “I told our kids whoever wins the first three minutes of the third quarter is going to win the ball game,” said Shane. “We let Athens go on a big run the other day in that loss and did so again tonight….The third quarter is crucial and we’ve got to figure out how to come out stronger or it’s going to be a long season for us.” Tiger freshman Blaire Reed opened up the final quarter with a two-pointer but Fort Frye continued to add on as they pushed their lead to 20 at one time before settling for the 18-point win. With four of the five starters returning this year from last years team that made it all the way to the final four the Cadets were already a sound basketball team but the spark that Morgenstern has provided off the bench over the first two games adds a whole new dimension to their team. “She (Morgernstern) does a really nice job for us,” said Borich. “She is the first one off of the bench and it’s nice having someone that can add that spark and energy and her on the ball defense is very good too.” In addition to her 16 points, Morgenstern also came up with five steals and dished out three assists. Huffman finished the game with 11 points while Dowler added nine for The Fort. While the Cadet offense was kind of off and on the defense was solid all game long. “I thought our defense was pretty good all night,” said Borich. “We were able to force all of those turnovers early on and then were able to hold them to the four points in the third quarter which was big.” Keeping the ball out of the hands of Chidester was another big key for the Cadets Chidester took just nine shots from the floor but made the most of them as she finished with a team-high 16 points. The Cadets improved to 2-0 with the win after beating Federal Hocking on Saturday and will now pay a visit to Belpre on Wednesday. The Tigers slipped to 2-2 with the loss with a rivalry match upcoming on Thursday back at Sutton Gym when the Warren Warriors come calling. “That’s an important league game for us so we have got to get back to work and come out ready to play,” said Shane. “We’ve got several games in a row here at home and we want to get back on track.” CINCINNATI — The Marietta College women’s basketball team traveled to Mount St. Joseph University for a …
Crypto markets rallied in the last week of November, and PI wasn’t the exception. The mining coin recovered the significant $0.25 level, and now a baseline Pi Network price prediction projects that it will build support at $0.26, an indicator not seen since the beginning of October. November was a roller-coaster for crypto, and many investors learned the hard way that volatility can be nerve-wracking. But there’s good news for them: DeepSnitch AI, an AI-powered business intelligence tool, is poised to fundamentally change crypto investing for the good and generate explosive returns in the process. As November ended, Bitcoin regained $90k, $91k, and $92 in three consecutive days. The mood of markets had changed from one of extreme fear a week before to cautious optimism. Other mid-tier coins like HBAR and PI recovered even more ground than BTC. While talks of a “Santa Rally” in December are still more wishes than projections, a further recovery is expected, and Pi Network price prediction reflects that. Some level of PI price speculation is also expected by both bulls and bears. While PI’s price is way below its all-time high, Pi Network has been able to establish itself as a crypto that has to be considered in portfolios. Its market cap, in excess of $2 billion, is too big to get ignored. Other cryptos that can’t be ignored as 2026 comes are Hedera and DeepSnitch AI. Beyond short and medium-term sways in markets, a more fundamental trend can be noticed in crypto: investors are giving more weight to real-life utility over speculative hype. DeepSnitch AI, with its state-of-the-art AI use case, aligns with this trend probably more than any other project. One of the greatest pain points in crypto investing is the lack of accessible analytic tools, unless you are a big whale with expert advisors behind you. DeepSnitch puts AI’s unique capabilities at work to give guidance to hundreds of millions of crypto investors who feel disoriented and need clear insights on the what, when, and how questions of crypto investing. From generating a Pi Network value forecast to spotting shifts in market sentiments, DeepSnitch AI extracts relevant market intelligence from real-time crypto data. And the system is very much at work, with two AI agents already analyzing large quantities of data. Given its advanced product development stage, DeepSnitch AI is showing exceptional presale numbers. With a still low entry price of only $0.02527, more than $620k has been raised. But those who wish to benefit from a crypto explosion that would humble even the wildest Pi Network price prediction need to move fast. DSNT’s presale price is constantly increasing ,and taking part early in the presale now is a must.
Pi Network adoption outlook has made headlines again, as it was reported on November 28 that the network had reached 60 million users. This took place as PI price came within inches of regaining the $0.28 mark, and Pi Network price prediction for December showed indicators pointing to a consolidation around the level that prevailed between the end of September and beginning of October: $0.26-$0.28. If the mining platform keeps increasing its number of users, an optimistic Pi Network price prediction sees the coin reclaiming, in early 2026, the hard support of $0.30 that it had for most of September. On the same day that Pi Network reached 60 million users, HBAR saw a massive volume surge of almost 100 million. For several days, the coin has been peaking above $0.15, and finding support at just above $0.14, with almost every trough a bit higher than the previous one (a sign of bullish momentum). It is not clear if Hedera’s short-term outlook surpasses Pi Network’s price prediction in percentage terms, but by mid-December, HBAR should be able to build support over $0.15. Pi Network price prediction has improved after PI’s price reached $0.25. But if you wish to see explosive returns, look no further than DeepSnitch AI. With its state-of-the-art AI technology and huge target market, the project looks increasingly like the biggest crypto explosion of 2026. But if you want to be part of it, it is crucial to invest right now in the presale, while the entry price is still low. Pi Network price prediction indicators do not suggest that as a big possibility. But if the platform keeps gaining users, that is on the table. A realistic scenario sees PI at $0.17 to $0.25 in the first half. Its massive market. A tool like DeepSnitch AI would be useful for hundreds of millions of crypto holders worldwide. And it wouldn’t take Pi Network’s 60 million users to reach $0.25. A million users would probably suffice, given DeepSnitch AI’s real-life utility.

Results from Monday’s Powerball game are listed below: NUMBERS: 5-18-26-47-59 POWERBALL: 1 POWER PLAY: 3x Two players won the $1.79 billion Powerball drawing on September 6. Tickets purchased in Missouri and Texas matched all five white numbers and the red Powerball, resetting the next drawing to $20 million ($10.2 million cash value) for September 8. Saturday’s drawing was the second largest jackpot in U.S. lottery history, behind only the $2.04 billion Powerball drawing on November 7, 2022. The odds of winning the Powerball jackpot are reported to be 1 in 292.2 million, according to Powerball.com. Saturday’s jackpot winner was the first since one player won the $205 million Powerball drawing on May 31. The Powerball had previously reset after one player won the $167 million Powerball drawing on April 26. One player in California matched all six numbers to win the $2.04 billion ($997.6 million) jackpot on November 7, 2022, the largest jackpot offered in U.S. lottery history, according to the official Powerball website. Powerball has had jackpots exceeding $1 billion six times. Mega Millions games have also exceeded $1 billion seven times, which includes its largest offering, a $1.603 billion jackpot that was one by a player in Florida on August 8. Both jackpots increase during each following game until there’s a jackpot winning ticket matching all six numbers drawn, which includes the additional Mega Millions Gold Ball or Powerball in each respective game.
St. Petersburg kicked off Holiday Biz Bingo in the ‘Burg this week. The program brings shoppers to more than 260 local businesses through Dec. 31. Shoppers can grab bingo cards at participating stores, City Hall, and libraries, then collect stamps for visits and turn in completed rows for prizes. Mayor Ken Welch and Rep. Kathy Castor stopped by participating stores on Tuesday to announce the program. The challenge features retail shops, health and wellness spaces, art storefronts, music storefronts, cafés, and restaurants across St. Pete. “We’re a year into the recovery from Hurricanes Helene and Milton, and a lot of our small businesses are still recovering,” Welch said, according to Bay News 9. Castor pointed out that tariffs, the rising cost of living, and potential increases in health insurance costs create hurdles. She said $68 of every $100 spent in town stays in town. “In St. Pete, we know small businesses are the backbone of the economy,” Castor said, according to Bay News 9. “We don’t have a lot of large corporations, Fortune 500 companies. What makes our economy go are the small business owners who hustle every day.” St. Pete City Councilman Copley Gerdes said the past year has been tough. “My wife’s family business took on three and a half feet from Helene,” Gerdes said, according to Fox 13. “We’re still cleaning up from that.” Daddy Kool Records, a participating store that has been around in the Tampa Bay area for decades, faces competition from large retailers and online shopping. Ashley Griffith, marketing, tickets, and promotion manager, said the holiday season brings some of their biggest sales weeks. “You have the ease of Amazon, you have the ease of Target, you have the ease of all these bigger corporations who are kind of affecting and hurting the local business economy,” Griffith said, according to Bay News 9. Zac Arscott owns Taste of the Islands Restaurant. His family operation has stayed open since 1992 because of community support. “We’re very, very much glad for their support because without them, there would be no us,” Arscott said, according to Fox 13. The National Retail Federation estimates that nearly 187 million people will shop from Thanksgiving Day through Cyber Monday. That would set a record. A Deloitte consumer survey found more people plan to shop but spending will drop by about four percentage points.
