According to a weekly Statehouse Report dated Sept. 22 from the County Commissioners Association of Ohio (CCAO), the State Senate presented a proposal for the CCAO, transit authorities and the John Kasich administration to address the local MCO sales tax revenue loss, which the association felt it had no choice but to accept. The new proposal would pay a total of $50 million additional split among Ohio’s 88 counties and eight transit authorities in January 2018, with a potential of up to $30 million to be paid in November 2018, if the state general revenue tax receipts perform better than the estimates from July 1, 2017 through Oct. 31, 2018. These funds would be distributed based on an approach determined by the entities in cooperation with the Senate, according to the report. No estimates have been released on what the exact revenue to the counties and transit authorities would be. “Furious” was a word Commissioner Randy Smith used to describe the reaction of himself and fellow commissioners upon learning of the proposal. While the Senate, Kasich administration and others, including the County Commissioner’s Association, were to spend the past weeks negotiating toward a solution, Smith explained that it does not appear that that had happened. Smith said he received a call on Friday evening from the CCAO stating that they had received a letter from Senate President Larry Obhof notifying the organization of the $50 million proposal as what Smith described as a “take it or leave it” officer.

Kleski, 27, was charged with possession with the intent to deliver by Mason Police Officer Kendall Roush. According to Chief Rich Gilkey, Roush and New Haven Police Chief Dave Hardwick observed Kleski driving in Mason. Gilkey said the Kleski officers knew Kleski was wanted on an arrest warrant for alleged petit larceny. Roush and Hardwick followed Kleski to 236 First Street in Mason, where he went into the residence. The officers were then joined at the scene by Chief Gilkey and Mason Officer Sierra Carmichael. Gilkey said upon apprehending Kleski, the officers found $2,589 in cash on his person, as well as scales and what appeared to be three pieces of heroin in his vehicle. Kleski was transported to the Western Regional Jail by Officer Roush.

When 3 became 1 By Sarah Hawley shawley@aimmediamidwest.com ROCKSPRINGS — Fifty years ago rivals became classmates, and enemies on the field and court became teammates. On May 9, 1967, the Meigs Local Board of Education formally adopted the colors and name for the school as voted on by the students in a series of ballots. Maroon and Gold became the school colors and Marauders became the school name/mascot. At the beginning for the 196768 school year students from Middleport, Pomeroy and Rutland high schools officially became Meigs Marauders. It would take a little longer for the students to be under one roof, but at least they were now Marauders. Minutes of the May 22, 1967, Meigs Local Board of Education meeting show that the move to combine was not always an easy one and required much discussion. “The Board moved from the Board of Education room to the auditorium where several residents of the district had met to question the advisability of combining three high schools into one location, beginning with the school year 1967-68,” the minutes stated. Before hearing comments and questions, Supt. George Hargraves Jr. read a prepared statement read in part, 3 PART SERIES This is the first in a three part series looking at the 50 years of Meigs High School. While it will not be a comprehensive look at the history of the school (that would take many, many more articles), it will provide a look at some of the highlights, changes and happenings over the 50 year history of the school. As the Meigs High School students remained at their three respective buildings, there were three Homecoming Queens crowned in the fall of 1967. Queens were (from left) Jackie Hawley (Middleport), Joyce Clonch (Rutland) and Bonnie Banks (Pomeroy). The chief responsibility of the Superintendent of schools is to provide the best educational program possible for the students of the district with the funds available for this purpose. In seeking to fulfill this responsibility the Superintendent must study every possible means of bringing about such improvements. He must then present his ideas and his findings to the Board of Education for their consideration and ultimate adoption or rejection. A number of weeks ago the Superintendent presented to the Board of Education an idea for consideration which would have involved the transfer of all students in the district in grades 10, 11 and 12 in the Middleport High School and Middleport Central buildings, the transfer of all students in the district in grades 7, 8 and 9 into the present Pomeroy High School and Pomeroy Junior High buildings, and the closing of Rutland High School. The prime reason for such a proposal was that such an arrangement held promise of a considerable improved educational program for the students involved. More courses could be offered. Teachers could be scheduled into their area of strongest preparation. A program to greatly improve the teaching of composition could be offered. Expensive and wasteful small classes could be joined together in much more adequate and economically sound classes. All students in the district would have the opportunity for exposure to the best teachers we have to offer in each subject area.

In 2006, John was inducted into the U.S. Table Tennis Hall of Fame for his outstanding achievements in the sport. None of these accomplishments could have been achieved with just the lonely determination of a teenager. When John was a young man, Chester, John’s father, drove him to Columbus from Middleport almost every weekend for nine years. It was during these trips to Columbus that Tannehill met not only the National Champion at the time, but also the best players in the world. It was working with these esteemed players that allowed him to become one of the best table tennis players in U.S. history. Now, nearly 50 years later, Tannehill lives in Columbus, and continues to play and coach the game at the Columbus Table Tennis Club. Jennifer Lohse Sheets, Distinguished Service Award Jennifer Lohse Sheets is a lifelong resident of Meigs County. Her husband, Jim Sheets, was a chemistry and science teacher and wrestling coach at Meigs High School, and their three sons, Jared, Aaron and Adam Sheets all graduated from Meigs High School. Jennifer Sheets also co-authored the Meigs High School Alma Mater. She and her late brother, Jim Lohse, submitted one of seven entries in the competition for the new alma mater. With assistance from the high school band, these seven entries were narrowed to three, which were then voted on by the student body. Maroon and Gold, written by Jim Lohse and Jennifer Lohse Sheets, received 70 percent of the total vote and became the official alma mater of Meigs High School in May of 1968. Sheets graduated Summa Cum Laude from The Ohio State University with bachelor’s and master’s degrees in home economics. She then worked for the Ohio Cooperative Extension Service as a county extension agent in Highland and Meigs Counties.

She currently practices law with Doug Little and Mick Barr at Little, Sheets & Barr in Pomeroy. Sheets is proud to live in Meigs County and has given the county countless hours of community service on the Meigs Local Board of Education, as a 4-H advisor, and on numerous boards and committees, including the Meigs County Historical Society, the Library Board, the Community Action Board, the Meigs County Council on Aging Board of Trustees, and many others. Currently, she is a member of the Home National Bank Board of Directors, treasurer of the Meigs County Community Improvement Corporation, president of the Meigs County Community Fund, and treasurer of the Harrisonville Presbyterian Church.

The same would be true in the area of business education. These and many other benefits which would help considerably to improve the educational program would be possible under such an arrangement. The important psychological advantage of bringing these students together was not overlooked. The sooner old hatreds and sources of misunderstanding are eliminated within the district, the better it will be in every way. Hargraves noted that here were definite concerns with the delay in the building process at the new Meigs High School facility which would result in a delay of combining the schools. Much time was lost during the lengthy period of debate over what geographic location would be acceptable to all portions of the district. More time was lost during the period of many weeks when there was further discussion about the possibility of additional consolidation in the county. And of course the greatest amount of time has been lost in the actual acquisition of the desired land once a decision had been made as to the location. In order to have opened the new high school building in September of 1968, it was necessary for us to have the site selected and purchased in November of 1966. We are at least six months behind this schedule, so it has become quite obvious that this building will not open in September of 1968. Our best hope is that it will be ready for occupancy sometime late in the school year of 196869. Consequently, we are not talking about students spending just one more year in the present high school facilities. It will be closer to two more years. This was another reason for considering means to improve the educational program of the students presently in high school. Since we look optimistically toward entering the new high school building sometime during the 1968-69 school year, it will be highly advisable for us to shift the students into one central location at the begin- Meigs High School Class of 1968 graduates from Middleport.

The reason for this being that it would be physically and educationally impossible to move students from three different schools with three different schedules of classes for students and teachers into an entirely new physical and educational setting in a new building in the middle of the school year. If we don’t have them scheduled together at the beginning of the 1968-69 school year, then it would be practically impossible to move them into the new high school when it was finished later in that school year. Earlier in 1967, the Meigs Local Board of Education had meet with Eastern Local Board of Education regarding the possibility of consolidation, something that did not end up happening. So as Marauders, the students remained in their own schools for the 1967-68 school year, with one football team, one overall principal (assistants at each building) and one mascot. But there were three graduations and three homecoming queens. It was the spring of 1968 that the Alma Mater was approved for the new Meigs High School. Co-authored by Jim Lohse and Jennifer Lohse (now Sheets), the Alma Mater was one of seven entries presented.

A media poll released over the weekend found two out of three Americans believe President Donald Trump has done more to divide the country than unite it. A majority of men, whites, suburbanites, seniors and Andrew four in 10 conservatives all held the Malcolm view. Contributing And as if on cue, Trump demoncolumnist strated the trait in a series of tweets: “If a player wants the privilege of making millions of dollars in the NFL, or other leagues, he or she should not be allowed to disrespect … our Great American Flag (or Country) and should stand for the National Anthem. If not, YOU’RE FIRED. Find something else to do!” Since new, more-disciplined chief of staff John Kelly assumed his post, these Trump bursts into culture wars have been less frequent. But this weekend, they ignited a firestorm of controversy eagerly fueled and repeated all weekend by media starving for story fodder with no hurricane to hype. All kinds of pro athletes stepped into the fray. The NFL commissioner, whose chief PR guy once flacked for Bill Clinton, tweeted disagreement. On Sunday, some teams hid in locker rooms until after the anthem. Some players still knelt. Others stood on the sidelines arm-in-arm pretending to be civil rights marchers. Trump poured on fuel by adding, “NFL attendance and ratings are WAY DOWN. Boring games yes, but many stay away because they love our country.” In doing so, Trump has made the protests about Trump. Since the controversy began last year and this season’s NFL games began, the Twitterverse has been aflame with indignation and outrage over NFL players sitting or kneeling during “The StarSpangled Banner.” With tweet-aggregating hashtags like #NFLProtest, #TakeaKnee and #BoycotttheNFL, Twitter anger has been palpable, casting a pall over a wealthy athletic establishment that jacks up prices way beyond the reach of average workers and clutters games with mind-numbing, repetitive commercial timeouts. Many feel that, with political issues inserted into the games, a type of entertainment contract has been broken. On top of that, a number of factors, from rule changes to a bevy of less-experienced quarterbacks, have combined to dull down the game. Three days a week now, players and their league produce an entertainment product sagging in value and in ratings. If you can afford the nonstop instant highlights and articulate commentary of Andrew Siciliano on DirecTV’s Red Zone Channel, football can be a beautiful thing to watch — the impossible catches, beautifully leveraged blocks, quarterback eye feints, running back cuts. Blessedly free of showboating players and tedious timeouts. Because, honestly, a 6-3 halftime score isn’t worth that many Cialis bathtub ads. So how better for a showman to draw attention to himself than by jumping on the controversy bandwagon and sharing a few unsolicited comments with his 39.3 million followers, including hundreds of reporters? Especially if those provocations place a low-rated president on the side of the flag and patriotism his base hold dear. Now, every American enjoys free speech, even overpaid athletes, self-important Hollywood celebs and a president who once owned his own pro football team. Never mind good taste. Anyone can spout off about anything almost anywhere. The issue for many Americans is not the right of these walking tattoo pillars to express themselves. Social injustice, world hunger and these days a brash Trump are legitimate causes, if you need a cause to sit down. It’s the timing and placement of these protests. And the rude insertion of political statements into what the league designed as escapist entertainment and games that, in a quiet, affirming way have been a positive celebration of shared American values. Watch out! The market is now responding. NFL ratings are down as many escape the escapist entertainment. NBC’s “Sunday Night Football” is off 7 percent this year, ESPN’s Monday night down 5 percent, Fox down 11 percent, CBS 19 percent. That’s a powerful protest against protests because those TV networks have contracted to pay the league about $40 billion between 2014 and 2022, more than $5 billion this year alone. They count on growing audiences. Earlier this month, late-night host Stephen Colbert emceed the annual Emmy Awards. To the delight of his Los Angeles audience, the show to celebrate TV entertainment turned into a long Trump-bashing fest. We now know the invisible TV audience exercised its own right of free speech, clicking remotes away from the political protests. The program tied for lowest ratings in its history. That’s probably just coincidence, don’t you think? Andrew Malcolm is an author and veteran national and foreign correspondent covering politics since the 1960s. Follow him @ AHMalcolm. THEIR VIEW We’re hard wired for empathy, indifference Sometimes, even the most inspirational among us share some disheartening traits with other animals. Humans have a remarkable capacity for empathy and compassion. We help strangers a continent away, donate anonymously, bequeath money to help people who will be born after our deaths. We can even choose to make the ultimate sacrifice in helping others — just think of the West African nurses who died fighting Ebola. These admirable traits owe little to Sunday morning sermons, the rule of law or pillows embroidered with the Golden Rule. Instead, they’re how we’re wired; we see the rudiments in other species. Such behaviors are rooted in our common ancestry. Among chimps, for example, suppose some low-ranking member of a troop is mauled by an alpha-male. Afterward, the innocent bystander is more likely than usual to be groomed by other group members. But such “consolation” behavior isn’t generic — if the pummeled loser wasn’t a hapless victim, and instead was the fool who started the fight, no extra grooming for him. Even rodents exhibit the building blocks of empathy. If a mouse observes another mouse in pain, its own pain threshold lowers. If a prairie vole has been stressed, it is more likely to be groomed. Rats will “work” (that is, repeatedly press a lever) to release another rat from a tightly enclosed space, and will even forgo a reward (chocolate!) in the process. Wow, a lot like humans. And just as in humans, empathy tends to come with a Robert M. late in life became central to the bancatch.

Consider Aung San Suu Kyi, the Nobel Peace Prize winner who spent 15 years under house arrest in Myanmar for nonviolently opposing its military dictatorship. Now, “Mother Suu” is the de facto leader of Myanmar. The news has been filled with reports of the ethnic cleansing of the Rohingya, the Muslim minority in Myanmar, following attacks by Rohingyan insurgents on government border posts. There has been a bloodbath of killings and rapes; Rohingya villages have been burned to the ground by the military and Buddhist mobs. Four hundred thousand Rohingya have fled into Bangladesh under the direst of circumstances. And the response of Suu Kyi, who is a member of the country’s Buddhist aristocracy? At first, a yawning silence. Finally, earlier this month, she addressed the crisis publicly. She praised her marauding military for its supposed restraint in pursing “terrorists,” aligning herself with some of the same generals who imprisoned her. She denied the longstanding persecution of the Rohingya and the scorched-earth campaign against them. She called for investigations into “what the real problems are” behind the exodus of the 400,000.

In addition, CCAO was told that if the Association did not accept the proposal, the Senate may not look favorably on taking up the override of the Governor’s veto on requiring the Administration to talk to CMS,” the Statehouse Report reads. “Obviously, CCAO is disappointed with the low dollar figure in the Senate proposal. Given the confines of what was presented, CCAO as well as the transits and the Kasich Administration said ‘yes,’” the report states. Smith said that they had been expecting negotiations to take place on the matter, with offers going back and forth between those involved, but that does not seem to be how things worked. Reaching out to Senator Frank Hoagland’s office on Tuesday, Smith said he is expecting to hear back from the Senator regarding his position on the matter either Tuesday evening or Wednesday morning following a Republican caucus meeting to take place on Tuesday evening. The Sentinel contacted Hoagland’s office on Tuesday afternoon regarding the proposal and received the following statement. “I’m pleased that both sides have worked together in good faith. This is still a work in progress, but getting funding for our critical transportation services is better than getting nothing from the federal government,” said Senator Frank Hoagland in the email. While Hoagland’s statement appears optimistic, the reaction of the Meigs County Commissioners to the proposal was far less pleased. Smith questioned why the Senate could not move forward — Lillian Dickson, American missionary (1901-1983).

Then, if the request was to be denied, move forward with the new proposal. “There is no harm in asking for the waiver to be modified,” said Smith, noting that the CCAO had hired an Obama administration Medicaid appointee to serve as their expert on the matter to assist in working on the restoration of the funding. “The loss of the MCO sales tax revenue stream to counties and transits is a serious matter, and one that the Association has prioritized. We have been steadfast in our advocacy efforts to be treated with parity by the state, and while the Senate proposal includes some ‘real money’ in the confines of the state’s existing biennial budget, we recognize that the counties have long term needs with the loss of a $207 million annual revenue system,” the report states. Already included in the State Budget is a total of $207 million in transitional aid for the counties and transit authorities which is to be paid in two payments in November 2017 and January 2018. The payouts are based on the tax loss to the counties and transit authorities. Meigs County, which is to lose around $574,000 annually under the tax loss, stands to receive around $3.4 million as a lump sum payment from the original $207 million. While that may seem like a good deal for the local counties, it has been described as a temporary solution to a long-term problem, as there is no long-term replacement for the funds. In losing around 21.7 percent of its annual sales tax revenue, Meigs County stands to loss around 10 percent of its total annual operating budget. In Gallia County, the annual loss figure is around $592,000, a 12 percent sales tax loss. Charleston 89/62 Shown are noon positions of weather systems and precipitation.

TUPPERS PLAINS, Ohio — As it turned out, the third time wasn’t the charm. The Eastern volleyball team faced off with Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division leader Waterford for the third time this season on Monday in Meigs County, and just like the other two matches, the Lady Wildcats came out victorious. In the opening game, the teams fought through six lead changes and six ties, the final of which came at 14-all. Waterford (13-1, 8-0 TVC Hocking) outscored the Lady Eagles (8-6, 6-3) by an 11-5 clip over the remainder of the game, as WHS earned the 25-19 win. After a pair of early lead changes in Game 2, Waterford opened up its largest lead of the night of 10 points, at 19-9. Eastern battled back to within five points but ultimately fell by a 25-18 margin. Waterford led by as many as five points in the third game, with the Lady Eagles tying the game six times before taking their first lead at 25-24. WHS regained the lead at 27-26 and never fell behind again, sealing the sweep with a 30-28 win. “I really thought we came together as a team and clawed our way back,” said Eastern head coach Megan Cross. “I really think that they love to play Waterford, because it’s always a good game. I defiantly think it added to the momentum they got together. I’m glad that there weren’t as many errors as we could have had. I think we have some easy building blocks to work off of if we do see them again come tournament time.” The Lady Eagle service attack was led by senior Morgain Little with nine points, including three aces. Jenna Chadwell was next with six points and two aces, followed by Mackenzie Brooks with five points and two aces. Allison See SWEEP | 7 GAHS, Meigs girls advance to district By Paul Boggs pboggs@aimmediamidwest.com CHILLICOTHE, Ohio — The Gallia Academy Blue Angels and the Meigs Lady Marauders made like the All-American Rejects on Monday. They moved along…to the next round. That’s because the Blue Angels and Lady Marauders, along with Eastern junior Kylee Tolliver, qualified for next week’s Division II district girls golf tournament —thanks to advancing out of Monday’s sectional tournament at the Chillicothe Jaycees Golf Course. Gallia Academy and Meigs moved on to the district by being two of the top six squads at the sectional, while Tolliver was one of the top six individuals not on a qualifying team. Eastern, in fact, almost joined the Blue Angels and Lady Marauders at the district — but believe it or not for the second consecutive season — fell shy of that round by a single solitary stroke. The Blue Angels — in only their second season as a full golf team — amassed a team total of 410 to finish third, while Meigs with a 421 tally took fifth. The Lady Eagles, which did advance to the district two years ago, ended up with a 423 and one shot shy — yet again — of qualifying yet again. That sixth, and final, team qualifying spot belonged to McClain — which posted a 422. Waterford, which is aiming for its third straight Division II state tournament appearance, won its third sectional championship by firing a 329.

Southern tops South Gallia By Paul Boggs pboggs@aimmediamidwest.com MERCERVILLE, Ohio — No doubt it was three hotly-contested and competitive volleyball games inside a warm South Gallia High School gymnasium on Monday night. But, in the end, the Southern Tornadoes escaped with the victory in all three close encounters — and prevailed 25-23, 27-25 and 26-24 in a Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division tilt over the host Rebels. In all three sets, there were at least four ties and six lead changes, including the second game that featured six of each and an even more fiery third game that had eight lead changes and a whopping 13 ties. Still, Southern found a way to finish ahead by the necessary two points in all three — and thus completed the season sweep of the Lady Rebels. With the hard-fought triumph, and despite the matchup being impacted by attack and hitting errors on both sides, the Tornadoes improved to 5-10 — and to 4-5 in the TVC Hocking as they opened the second round of league play. Southern snapped a two-game losing streak as well. The Rebels, which were idle for a week after last Tuesday’s fourset win over Wahama, in their favor for game point, which they got on a Rebel attack error. The second game featured four early lead changes and ties of 1-1, 4-4, 6-6 and 8-8 — as the Tornadoes took a 12-8 advantage on six straight points, including all three aces by Kassie Barton.

Last season, only the top three clubs and individuals advanced, as Eastern finished fourth, Gallia Academy fifth and the Lady Marauders seventh. Sandwiched in between them was Westfall —a repeat district qualifier — with a 413. This year, not only did both GAHS and Meigs make it out, there is not a single senior among any of their five tournament players. There were 20 teams to field at least four golfers apiece, which is the minimum number needed for a team score, as the Blue Angels, Marauders and Eagles all sported five. For the Blue Angels, juniors Molly Fitzwater and Hunter Copley led the way with a 98 and 99 respectively, while sophomore Bailey Meadows shot a 104 and freshman Ryelee Sipple posted a 109. Gallia Academy’s other score was a 135 by sophomore Macy Jones. Meigs was paced by freshman Kylee Robinson with an even 100, as its other counting scores were sophomore MiKayla Radcliffe with a 101, junior Shaylnn Mitchell with a 109 and freshman Caitlin Cotterill with a 111. Lydia Edwards, a junior, clubbed a pair of 58s for a 116 for the Maroon and Gold’s noncounting card.

TVM �SPORTS/CLASSIFIEDS 8 Wednesday, September 27, 2017 Daily Sentinel Black Knights place 6th in regional By Paul Boggs pboggs@aimmediamidwest.com TORNADO, W.Va. — The Point Pleasant High School golf squad saw its season come to an end on Monday, as the Black Knights finished sixth out of nine schools in the Class AA Region IV tournament, which took place at Big Bend Golf Course. The Big Knights turned in a team tally of 275, but were not one of the top two teams to qualify for next week’s state tournament. Point Pleasant also did not advance any individuals to the state meet, as a year ago Bryce Tayengco qualified. The senior Tayengco — in his final match on Monday, shot an 87 — as his sophomore brother Dylan Tayengco led the Black Knights with an 84. The only other Point Pleasant player at the regional was junior Colton Fridley, who turned in a 104 for 18 holes. The top two teams, and the top two individuals not on a qualifying club, advanced to the state tournament. Those two state-qualifying foursomes hail from Poca and Chapmanville, as host Poca fired a 237 and Chapmanville a 238. The top three scores in the West Virginia regional tournaments count towards the team total. Scott (240), Wayne (253) and Winfield (261) were right ahead of Point Pleasant, as Lincoln County (302), Mingo Central (303) and Logan (337) rounded out the nine-team field. Point Pleasant, Lincoln County and Logan were the only teams of three golfers, while the remaining half-dozen all fielded four. Mitch Hoffman of Poca, by carding a smooth 1-under par 70, captured match medalist honors. Austin Bledsoe of Chapmanville, with a 74, was the medalist runnerup. The two individual qualifiers are Chase Milbee of Winfield and Ryan Butcher of Scott, who edged out Broc Crist of Lincoln County on a onehole playoff. That trio all shot 77, and led their respective teams.

The White Falcons were one of nine schools represented at the 18-hole tournament, and all but one of those programs had the required three players to field a team score. The winning team and the runner-up advance to the state tournament, as do the top two individual finishers not on a state-qualifying team. Wahama finished sixth overall with a final tally of 331, which was 110 shots off the pace set by eventual Region 4 champion Ravenswood. The Red Devils blazed their home course with three of the top four individual scores en route to a winning total of 221. Huntington Saint Joseph joins the RHS at the state tournament after finishing second with a 251, placing five shots ahead of Parkersburg Catholic (256). Williamstown (277) and Sherman (299) rounded out the top five spots. Calhoun County came in right behind Wahama with a 357, while Wirt Bryan Walters | OVP Sports Wahama junior Gage Smith hits a putt attempt on the ninth hole during an Aug. 29 TVC Hocking golf match at Cliffside Golf Course in Gallipolis, Ohio. County was eighth with a 386. Buffalo had only two competitors and therefore did not record a team score. Ravenswood received a solid 1-2 punch from Carson Fox and Alex Easthom, who respectively won medalist and runner-up honors with rounds of 69 and 73. Par for the course was 72, an even 36 on both the front and back sides. Parkersburg Catholic earned both individual spots at state as Brice Ferrell and Bryce Moore fired respective low rounds of 81 of 85. Tammate Hunter Tate just missed an individual state berth with the next lowest round of 90. Junior Gage Smith had the low round of the day for Wahama with a 103, followed by seniors Anthony Ortiz and Dalton Kearns with respective efforts of 111 and 117. Freshman Isaac Roush also shot a 119 for WHS. Here are the scores for the remaining teams at the Class A, Region IV golf tournament.

Lady Falcons fall to Point ROCKSPRINGS, Ohio — The Lady Marauders just seemed to be fighting from behind all night. Just 11 points separated the Meigs volleyball team from non-conference guest Warren on Monday night in Larry R. Morrison Gymnasium, but the visiting Lady Warriors claimed a straight games win and handed Meigs its fifth consecutive setback. Warren never trailed in the opening game, leading by as much as 11, at 15-4. The Lady Marauders (6-10) fought back to tie the game at 19, but WHS scored six of the next seven points to earn a 25-20 victory. The Lady Warriors also never fell behind in the second game, fighting through a pair of early ties before opening up a sevenpoint lead, at 17-10. Meigs battled to within a point at 22-21, but surrendered the next three points and the game by a 25-21 final. Meigs’ first lead of the night came to start the third game, as the Maroon and Gold scored the first four points. The teams exchanged the lead five times in the third game and were tied for the final time at 18-all. WHS opened up a four-point lead, before the Lady Marauders cut the margin back to one.

By Bryan Walters bwalters@aimmediamidwest.com MASON, W.Va. — It was what it was … a dominant performance. The Point Pleasant volleyball team trailed only in Game 2 and was never down by more than two points Monday night en route to an impressive 25-12, 25-10, 25-14 victory over host Wahama in a non-conference battle of Mason County programs at Gary Clark Court. The visiting Lady Knights (9-1) picked up their fifth straight victory — a season-high — while handing the Lady Falcons (2-11) their ninth straight defeat. Point also claimed its seventh straight-game triumph of the season. Point Pleasant broke away from a one-all tie in the opener after scoring 15-of-18 points while building a 16-4 cushion. WHS closed the gap down to seven (16-9) with five consecutive points, but the guests closed Game 1 with nine of the next dozen points for a 13-point decision. In that first game, the Lady Knights scored 10 points alone on kills and also had four blocks at the net. Wahama, conversely, had only one kill and one block to show from the opener. The Lady Falcons responded by taking early leads of 1-0 and 3-1 in Game 2, but the guests reeled off four consecutive points (5-3) and never trailed again.

Wahama rallied back from an early 4-0 deficit in Game 3 to trail 5-4 and kept things close midway through at 15-13, but the Lady Knights scored 10 of the final 11 points to wrap up the match with the 25-14 win. Point Pleasant recorded 19 of the 23 kills in the contest, but the Lady Falcons did gain a 7-6 edge in blocks — which included three blocks in each of the final two games. Given the way her troops came out and set the tone in the opener, PPHS coach Marla Cottrill was pleased with Monday night’s outcome. “The girls are always motivated to play, but I thought we came in focused and ready for a Christopher E.

It wasn’t perfect, but it was a good win against an in-county program.” For WHS coach Matt VanMeter, it was a night in which fundamentals broke down against a better overall squad. “Point’s got a good team and their hitters up front gave us problems early on. We were able to do some things better after that first game, but we still have to find a way to eliminate all of the mental errors we are having,” VanMeter said. “We’re hitting too many serves and too many attacks in the net and we are giving our opponents too many free balls. When we get away from doing those things, then our games will be a lot more competitive.” Gracie Cottrill led the Point Pleasant service attack with 14 points, followed by Madison Hatfield with 11 points and Brenna Dotson with eight points. Olivia Dotson was next with seven points and a team-high three aces, while Mackenzie Freeman and Peyton Jordan respectively added six and five points. Freeman also had two aces and Hatfield added one ace. Lanea Cochran led the PPHS net attack with seven kills and three blocks, followed by Brenna Dotson with six kills and two blocks. Olivia Dotson added three kills and Cottrill had two kills, while Tristan Wilson also chipped in a kill and a block. Elizabeth Mullins paced the Wahama service attack with seven points, followed by Madison VanMeter with four points and MaKinley Bumgarner with two points. Harley Roush and Hannah Billups also had a point apiece. VanMeter, Bumgarner, Roush and Emma Gibbs had a kill apiece. Gibbs led the way with a matchhigh five blocks, while Mullins also added two blocks. Point Pleasant travels to Teays Valley Christian on Tuesday and will be at Lincoln County on Thursday.

The Hannan volleyball team battled through 29 ties and 33 lead changes over the course of the evening, but ultimately dropped a 25-14, 24-26, 25-23, 25-17 decision to host Covenant Christian on Monday during a nonconference match in Cabell County. The Lady Cats (2-7) never led in the 11-point opening loss, but the guests rallied back from an 18-11 Game 2 deficit by reeling off nine of the next 11 points to force a 20-all tie. The Lady Eagles gradually pushed their lead out to a 24-22, but HHS broke serve and tacked on three consecutive points to complete the minimal two-point win while also tying the match at one. The real battle occurred in Game 3 as both teams endured 15 ties and 16 lead changes, with neither squad establishing a lead larger than four points along the way.
