Settlement reached
in MLB TV dispute
NEW YORK (AP) —
Just as a trial was to begin,
Major League Baseball and
a group of
its fans who
had sued
reached
agreement
Tuesday to
expand the menu of online
packages for televised games
and lower prices.
The deal came weeks
after baseball’s lawyers
said for the ¿ rst time the
league was going to let
fans buy single-team online
TV packages. In the past,
viewers who didn’t live in
their favored teams’ home
markets had to buy access to
every televised MLB game
included in the national plan.
Lawyers for fans who ¿ led
the class action lawsuit in 2012
said MLB will offer unbundled
Internet packages for the next
¿ ve years, including single-
team packages for $84.99 next
season. They said that’s a 23
percent drop from the cheapest
version previously available.
The deal also calls for
the cost of a league-wide
package to drop to $109.99.

BOARDMAN — The
Mac-Hi Pioneers used a
buzzer-beating lay-up by
Luis Garcia to put away the
Riverside Pirates 49-47 in
overtime on Tuesday night.
“Great win for the guys
against a pretty good team,”
said Mac-Hi coach Jordan
Poyner.
Riverside (6-10) had a

was

that was eventually possessed

court for the game-winning
shot.
Garcia led Mac-Hi (6-11)
with 14 points, while Adrian
Zaragoza added 11 points.
Hunter Yensen also added 10
points, none more important
than a late fourth quarter
basket.
Riverside had just hit a
3-pointer to take a 43-41 lead
with less than one minute to
play, and the Pioneers came
right down the À oor and
tied it up with a basket from
Yensen that sent the game to
overtime.
Riverside was led in
scoring by Felipe Olvera
with 19 points and had a
team-high four 3-pointers.
Mac-Hi next hosts Baker

while Riverside will travel to
Umatilla on Thursday for a 7

Stafi eld’s Dylan Grogan grabs a rebound
contested by Umatilla’s Kaden Webb and
Aaron Simmons (32) in the Vikings’ 63-48
win against the Tigers in Stanfi eld.
After Kaden Webb’s layup
fell through the net and a foul
was called, Umatilla boys
basketball coach Derrek Lete
pumped his ¿ st demonstra-
tively.
Webb had just given the
Vikings a nine-point lead on
the road at Stan¿ eld with 53
seconds left in the game, and
Umatilla ¿ nished off the Tigers
63-48 Tuesday night.
“We know how good of a
basketball team Stan¿ eld is,”
Lete said, “and we’ve lost a lot
of games this year that I really
feel like we should’ve won. So
for us to put up a full game and
just execute and come away —
especially at a tough place like
Stan¿ eld — I was just super
proud of our boys for how hard
they worked.”

season.
“They put up shots that

Baros said. “They took shots
they we were forcing them to
take and they were landing. I
gotta give them all the credit.
That’s what we wanted them
to do, take outside shots. And
they were making them.”

best game of the year, and the

Seahawks’ offseason priorities begin with offensive line
Carroll: ‘I don’t think
we’ve nailed it yet’
By TIM BOOTH
Associated Press
RENTON, Wash. — The Seattle
Seahawks’ offseason priorities were
obvious in previous years.
Getting extensions done for key
stars like Richard Sherman, Earl
Thomas, Russell Wilson and Bobby
Wagner — some of those taking a
little longer than expected — were
clearly a key. Adding depth in
speci¿ c areas like the defensive line
was a priority one year, while other
seasons it’s been going after one
speci¿ c player.
This offseason is far broader for
the Seahawks. There is no overar-
ching, glaring need for a team that
has reached at least the divisional
round of the NFC playoffs in four
straight seasons and played in
Super Bowls twice during that span,
with one exception. Pete Carroll

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll listens during a news
conference, Monday, Jan. 18, 2016, in Renton, Wash. The Seahawks’
season ended Sunday, Jan. 17, 2016, with a loss to the Carolina
Panthers in an NFL football divisional playoff game.
acknowledged questions on the
offensive line need to be answered
before next season.
“I don’t think we’ve nailed it
yet,” Carroll said. “I think this needs
to be a really competitive spot again,
and we’re going to work really hard
to build it up. For the course of
the season, we weren’t consistent
enough.”
Seattle’s offensive line could
see the biggest makeover because
of contract situations. Starting left
tackle Russell Okung and starting
right guard J.R. Sweezy are unre-
stricted free agents. Center Patrick
Lewis, who moved into the starting
role just before midseason, and
versatile backup Alvin Bailey are
restricted free agents.
Issues with Seattle’s offensive
line were partly to blame for the
Seahawks’ 2-4 start and that’s not
something Carroll wants to repeat.
“I think that’s a real area of focus
again so we’ll be talking about it.
We’ve got a couple unrestricted
guys there. We’re going to have
to deal with how that works out.
There’s just stuff we’re going to
have to work through,” Carroll
said. “But we are young and we are
athletic and we do like our guys.”
Aside from the offensive line, the
Seahawks’ biggest free agent ques-
