WBFF Fox 45 :: Chattanooga easily handles Reinhardt in 108-78 win
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (AP) -- Drazen Zlovaric and Martynas Bareika each scored 20 points to lead Chattanooga to a 108-78 rout over Reinhardt on Friday.
   Farad Cobb had 14 points and Alex Bran added 12 for the Mocs (3-8), who ended a four-game losing streak.
   Chattanooga used a strong first half to pull away early, going on an 8-0 run that was capped by Bareika's jumper to give the Mocs a 35-15 lead with 5:53 left in the first half. Chattanooga went into halftime with a 60-33 lead.
   The Mocs barely outscored the Eagles 48-45 in the second half, but had enough cushion to cruise to the victory.
   Xavier Mayfield and Larricus Thomas had 13 points apiece for Reinhardt, an NAIA school. Gabe Mathis scored 11 points on 5 of 13 shooting.
   The Mocs shot 56.8 percent (42 of 74) from the floor for the game while holding Reinhardt to 38.4 percent (28 of 73).

Vanderbilt poll: Tennesseans oppose online tax
May 21, 2013 17:59 GMT

By ERIK SCHELZIG Associated Press

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- A new Vanderbilt University poll finds a majority of Tennesseans oppose the state enforcing online sales taxes, though respondents were split on whether the current system is fair to local businesses.

Fifty-five percent said that taxing online sales is a bad idea, while 38 percent said it would be good policy.

The U.S. Senate earlier this month passed a bill to empower states to collect sales taxes from Internet purchases, but the measure faces a tough sell in the House. The change is supported by Gov. Bill Haslam and fellow Republican U.S. Sens. Lamar Alexander and Bob Corker.

But Haslam enjoys a 63 percent approval rating among the 813 registered voters surveyed in the poll, which has a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points.
