Rivers scored 32 points, including the Tigers' (9-0) first 14 of the second half and nine of its final 11 on Sunday, as the unbeaten Tigers rallied late for an 80-75 victory.

			A few thousand feet of runway would go a long way around here. Extending the two Air Force-owned strips at Charleston International Airport could lure foreign flights, plus all the tourist dollars they carry on board, supporters say. A longer runway system also could attract new aerospace businesses to expand on the aviation "cluster" launched at the airport by Vought Aircraft Industries Inc. and Global Aeronautica. And it could ensure the region's role as a strategic military-transport hub.
