Balch said he is not aware if any criminal charges have been filed in connection with the case. Police did not immediately respond to questions. “Some guys, teammates, came to a room, knocked on the door, and lathered a kid up and lotioned his back,” Balch said.

Horse found dismembered PUEBLO, Colo. — A Colorado family is searching for answers after their beloved horse, Nickel, was butchered. The Pueblo Chieftain reports the family found the 22-year-old animal Friday morning essentially in pieces, with all the meat carefully stripped from its bones. The horse’s heart and liver also were removed. The lock to the front gate of the family’s Pueblo-area ranch was cut. A lock on a semi-trailer on the property also was cut, and a portion of fence was taken down. Neither the family nor neighbors heard anything out of the ordinary prior to dis- covery of the carcass. The family believes the animal was killed for the purpose of human consump- tion. Police: 2 arrested in man’s death PHOENIX — Phoenix police say deputy U.S. Marshals and police in Green Bay, Wisconsin, have made two arrests in the death of a Phoenix man.

Phoenix homicide detec- tives identified a suspect and learned he may be headed to a Green Bay home. Police and deputy U.S. Marshals there went to the house Friday and arrested one per- son.

By Peter Stein STAFF WRITER [email protected] With the team bus engine barely warm after Friday night’s road loss to Cleveland, Clovis girls bas- ketball head coach Jeff Reed was ready to look ahead. All the way to Tuesday, when the Lady WILDCATS Wildcats will finally begin their District 2-6A competi- tion. Reed’s team had just been dealt a frustrating loss, in a season already full of them, this time a setback that clearly occurred due to a poor first quarter. The Lady ’Cats, it seems, never go more than two games without having that one quarter, that one stretch where they melt down and it costs them a winnable game. Time to iron out that kink. Tonight, district play is upon them, with mighty Eldorado visiting Rock Staubus Gymnasium (7 p.m.). These next few weeks will likely determine what kind of team Clovis is, how much postsea- son potential it has. For sure, Friday’s 69-61 loss to the Lady Storm in Rio Rancho was disappointing.

By Teresa M. Walker THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The Tennessee Titans and Mike Mularkey couldn’t agree on how to build off the team’s first playoff berth since 2008 and become a true NFL contender. That job will now fall to a new coach. The Titans split with Mularkey on Monday after he revived a team with the NFL’s worst record over two seasons and led them to their first playoff victo- ry in 14 years. The Titans announced the move two days after a 35-14 loss to New England in the AFC divisional round. “It became evident that we saw different paths to achieve greater success,” controlling owner Amy Adams Strunk said. Mularkey had one year left on his contract and refused to discuss his status Sunday. But he said he had talked with Strunk and was ready to move “full speed” ahead. Mularkey also defended offensive coordi- nator Terry Robiskie’s play-calling with quarterback Marcus Mariota and said his coaching staff would be back as well. Strunk said in a statement Monday she talked with Mularkey about extending his contract over the past week since a 22-21 comeback win against Kansas City in the wild-card round. Mularkey is the first coach let go after winning a playoff game since San Francisco fired Steve Mariucci after the 2002 season. “It is certainly unfortunate that we couldn’t find enough common ground,” she said. “I generally believe that continu- ity is the best path for success, but I also view this as an important moment for our football team as we try to make that next step to sustained success on the field.” General manager Jon Robinson will oversee his first coaching search with the Titans. He was hired two days before Mularkey had the interim title removed in January 2016. The Titans are the seventh NFL team to change coach- es since the start of the season. Robinson said he and Titans president and chief executive Kansas City Star: John Sleezer officer Steve Underwood told Mularkey on Monday morning Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Mularkey was fired on Monday, despite leading the team to its first playoff vic- that they had decided to let him go. tory in 14 years and consecutive winning records the last two seasons. “This boils down to doing what we think is best for the football team moving forward, taking the next step,” But in Mularkey’s second full season, the Titans failed to take Robinson said at a news conference. “This boils down to doing what we think is best advantage of an AFC South in which Andrew Luck did not play Robinson said interviews with candidates could be held as for the football team moving forward, taking the for Indianapolis and two-time defending division champ Houston early as this week, though the Titans will only confirm a can- next step.” lost rookie quarterback Deshaun Watson to an injury early. didate only after an interview is completed.
