He sat for a five-hour interview and answered every question the NCAA asked. He also produced every document the NCAA requested,” lawyer Jason Bologna said in a statement. “Hysier did these things because he wanted to play basketball this season, and he is devastated that he cannot.” Miller, a three-year starter from South Philadelphia, transferred to Virginia Tech this spring. However, the Hokies released him last month due to what the program called “circumstances prior to his enrollment at Virginia Tech.” Bologna declined to confirm that a federal investigation had been opened, as did spokespeople for both the FBI and the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Philadelphia. ESPN, citing unnamed sources, reported Thursday that authorities were investigating whether Miller bet on games he played in at Temple, and whether he adjusted his performance accordingly. “Hysier Miller has overcome more adversity in his 22 years than most people face in their lifetime. He will meet and overcome whatever obstacles lay ahead," Bologna said. Miller scored eight points — about half his season average of 15.9 — in a 100-72 loss to UAB on March 7 that was later flagged for unusual betting activity. Temple said it has been aware of those allegations since they became public in March, and has been cooperative. “We have been fully responsive and cooperative with the NCAA since the moment we learned of the investigation,” Temple President John Fry said in a letter Thursday to the school community. However, Fry said Temple had not received any requests for information from state or federal law enforcement agencies. He vowed to cooperate fully if they did. “Coaches, student-athletes and staff members receive mandatory training on NCAA rules and regulations, including prohibitions on involvement in sports wagering," Fry said in the letter. The same week the Temple-UAB game raised concerns, Loyola (Maryland) said it had removed a person from its basketball program after it became aware of a gambling violation. Temple played UAB again on March 17, losing 85-69 in the finals of the American Athletic Conference Tournament. League spokesman Tom Fenstermaker also declined comment on Friday.

Brisbane is deciding on a 2032 Olympics stadium: how do the options stack up?

A tug of the heartstrings evoked local church members to ensure those facing the aftermath of a disaster can experience the warmth and joy of the Christmas season. Faith Church Pastor David Morrow and his wife, Anissa, will take the lead to provide small stocking stuffers for kids whose families were victims of Hurricane Helene. After helping hurricane victims in Swannanoa, North Carolina, Anissa said they made a connection with an Eagle Rock Church, as well as several families in the area to help families in crisis this holiday season. While visiting with residents, Anissa said their conversation shifted toward the needs of the children in the area for Christmas. She said Eagle Rock Church was looking to host a toy drive to bring Christmas gifts to the kids in Swannanoa. Aside from providing toys, Anissa said Eagle Rock Church has a section set up like a grocery store dedicated for food and supplies for people. She said the church provides free food, clothes, diapers, formula and more. “Everything — a family that has been affected by the hurricane can come in and get what they need,” she said. Due to the devastation and hurricane aftermath, the town, which sits just outside of Asheville, has its residents living in tents, hotel rooms and camping trailers. While helping victims of the hurricane, Anissa said she worked in the church in Swannanoa and saw the stress on the faces of fellow mamas. She said she could see the worry on their faces as they were asking for baby formula and diapers. Anissa said these families were unsure how they were going to be able to bring Christmas to their kids this year while living in tight spaces and she wanted to give a “we love you, from Oklahoma” to these families. David, on the board of directors with Life’s Hope, said they went to North Carolina to assist families together. David said when the Swannanoa River flooded, it pretty much wiped out the entire town, leaving residents with no drinking water, as well as downed electrical lines and trees. David said they sent out three semi loads to North Carolina and they have another one scheduled to take food, water and other necessities. To provide stocking stuffer items, Anissa said the church needs coloring books, crayons, small handheld games, Play-Doh and other items that can go inside of a small drawstring bag. Anissa said the church is committed to making at least 250 bags for the kids to receive at Christmas. The bags are drawstring vinyl and cloth bags. After returning to Oklahoma and making the announcement at their church, Anissa said all 250 bags were donated. Now, Anissa is working to collect items to put inside the bags. She said she would like to fill the bags with small gifts and toys to occupy their time and have fun. The bags will be split for 125 girls and 125 boys, as well as into age groups: two to five, six to 11 and 12-16 years old. Anissa said their biggest need right now is this 12-year to 16-year age range. Other helpful items, such as gift cards for stores, food, movies and visa gift cards will be useful. Anissa said they will send more than 250 as long as they have enough items to fill each of the bags. David said there are several different organizations helping families in North Carolina and they are grateful to get to be one of them. He said there’s one organization out of Chattanooga, Tennessee helping cook meals as part of the disaster relief. David said these groups are needing help to supply the food as well. David and Anissa said it feels good to get to help out and give back to these families. “It’s an honor and it’s a privilege,” David said. Based on cost, Anissa said they will either ship the bags or they will get in the truck and make the 16-hour drive to North Carolina. To donate items toward these bags or for shipping, contact Faith Church at 580-255-9232. Gift and cash donations for the bags can be dropped off at Faith Church from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Thursday. Cash donations can be made through the Faith Church’s giving link at www.fcduncan.com . The deadline to bring items is Sunday, Dec. 8 to allow time to pack the bags.The Tier 2 Capital Bonds, which are non-convertible subordinated debt securities, were highly sought after by institutional and retail investors, reflecting strong market demand for SPDB Bank's securities.
