Navy Defeats Hampton 58-56 as Jordan Pennick Scores 18

Navy defeated Hampton 58-56 on Saturday, with Jordan Pennick scoring 18 points in the victory, according to a wire story carried by ABC News. The report's headline credited Pennick's scoring with helping Navy secure the win, and its summary gave the same final score.

The account available to this newspaper consisted of a headline and a short summary, and it gave only the final score and Pennick's individual total. It did not describe the flow of play, the score at any earlier point in the game, or how the closing possessions were decided. It also did not state where the game was played, and the summary contained no quotations from coaches or players. The Federal Chronicle has not added any such detail from other sources.

Because only one outlet's report was consulted, no conflicting accounts exist to compare, and the score and the individual figure cannot be checked against a second source. The two-point margin, calculated from the final score of 58 to 56, is the only measure of the result the report supplied beyond the name of the winning team.

Pennick's 18 points were the only individual statistic named in the material. The summary did not break down either team's performance further, and it did not list other players' totals.

The wire story linked above is the sole source for this item, and this report draws no fact from any other account.
