Kiski Area’s Brandon Lawhorn-Moore works out during offseason training sessions in June.

In sixth grade, Kiski Area lineman Brandon Lawhorn-Moore used to be the only student who would bring in beef jerky on Beef Jerky Friday.

Lawhorn-Moore quickly picked up the nickname “Beef” from his social studies teacher, and it has stuck.

Now “Beef,” who is a 6-foot-5, 300-pound junior tackle, can be referred to as a Division I prospect as well after announcing a scholarship offer from Buffalo on Tuesday.

“It feels nice, to get the nerves of the first offer off my shoulders and everything,” Lawhorn-Moore said. “Having my name out there now will allow more to come in. It’s really nice.”

The Kiski Area tackle, who boasts a 3.8 GPA, said the Buffalo offer came as a surprise as he hadn’t been talking with many schools before Tuesday. He said a Buffalo coach reached out to him Tuesday morning and extended the offer.

“He said that my finishing and being a good run-blocker stuck out to them,” Lawhorn-Moore said. “They liked that and basically how I get to the second level.”

While Lawhorn-Moore might have been a little surprised by the offer, Kiski Area football coach Sam Albert wasn’t. Given Lawhorn-Moore’s size, athletic ability and the type of kid he is, Albert knew schools were bound to come after him at some point.

“If you watch him, there are times where he just totally dominates,” Albert said. “His down block, his reach block and he gets to the second level as good as anyone I’ve seen, and that was as a sophomore. So he has two more years to really get better.

“I think the sky is the limit for him. I really do.”

The Cavaliers were big advocates of running the ball last year as senior Luke Lander and junior Kenny Blake combined for 1,700 yards and 15 touchdowns. Blake ran the ball 168 times for 980 yards and 11 touchdowns, including 45 carries in a 10-7 win over Mars.

Seeing his running backs step into the spotlight makes Lawhorn-Moore proud.

“That just shows that we did a great job blocking and creating lanes for him,” Lawhorn-Moore said.

Heading into his junior year, Lawhorn-Moore is looking to have an even bigger impact for the Cavaliers’ ground game. Blake is back in the backfield, and the Cavaliers have two quarterbacks with running ability.

While trying to help the team win, Lawhorn-Moore is looking to improve his game as much as he can and show college coaches his capabilities.

“I’m just focused on doing everything correctly and showing the coaches that I can play at the next level,” Lawhorn-Moore said.

Argentina delays China pork export deal amid environmental protests - Reuters

BUENOS AIRES (Reuters) - Argentina has delayed until November the signing of a memorandum of understanding with China aimed at increasing investment in Argentine hog output, a government source said on Tuesday, citing environmental protests over the planned export deal.

Argentina first sought to sign the preliminary agreement in August, which aims to double the South American country’s pork output - currently 630,000 tonnes per year - in four years.

The announced intention by Argentina to sign the deal, designed to spur exports to meat-hungry China, drew criticism from Argentine environmentalists concerned about the impact that such a rapid increase in pork production would have.

“Given the complaints, we decided to take time to amend the memorandum of understanding, which in a way is redundant because when you invest in Argentina you have to abide by local laws,” a source at the foreign ministry told Reuters, asking not to be named because the reason for delay had not yet been made public.

The current draft of the memorandum, with stricter environmental guidelines, is being sent to China for review, the source said.

On Monday, hundreds of people marched to the historic Plaza de Mayo, next to the Casa Rosada presidential palace in Buenos Aires, in protest against the signing of the memorandum.

On social media, environmental activists invited people to the march, saying: “We are against animal exploitation and repudiate the agreement on industrial pig farms.” A letter signed by academics against the deal said it would be “impoverishing, cruel and polluting.”

NOLA official apologizes for 'greasy fried chicken' comments - WBRZ

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — A New Orleans City Council member is apologizing for describing a preference among residents of part of her predominantly Black district for “greasy fried chicken” restaurants, comments she made while discussing the district’s slow business recovery 15 years after Hurricane Katrina.

The Times-Picayune ′ New Orleans Advocate reports Councilmember Cyndi Nguyen said her comments about constituents in the Lower 9th Ward in an earlier story in the newspaper were taken out of context.

“In the context they were presented, my example of residents enjoying fried chicken and its abundance in the area came off as insensitive, and for that, I apologize,” she said in a statement Sunday to area residents.

Nguyen’s apology came shortly after state Rep. Jason Hughes, a New Orleans Democrat whose district overlaps with Nguyen’s, wrote in an open letter on Sunday that he was “shocked, appalled, and insulted” at Nguyen’s words.

Nguyen, who was elected in 2017, represents the overwhelmingly Black district. She is the first council member from her eastern New Orleans district since 1985 who is not Black.

The comments came during a driving tour of the district. Nguyen was responding to a question about what kind of commerce the neighborhood can realistically support, given its shrunken population since Katrina.

“I’ll be candid -- having Wal-Mart come to the neighborhood, it ain’t gonna happen,” she said in the interview. She added that other concepts, including a popular fast food restaurant call Raising Cane’s, also were unlikely.

She went on: “This is just a reality, OK, and this is not putting anybody down: I think people in the Lower Nine like those greasy fried chicken” places, Nguyen said.

“I don’t like to have conversations just to sugarcoat people and say, ‘Yeah, we can get a Raising Cane’s,’ when you know very well that people here like those chicken, those fried chicken ... You can’t ask people to start up a business and not be able to make money.”

BEIJING, Sept 1 (Reuters) - China will auction 4,400 tonnes of frozen beef and mutton from state reserves on Sept. 3, the China Merchandise Reserve Management Center said on Tuesday.

China has also sold more than 500,000 tonnes of pork from its reserves this year, to plug a huge meat supply gap after African swine fever outbreaks decimated its massive pig herd. (Reporting by Hallie Gu and Tom Daly)
