Dr. Travis Love spoke to Wednesday’s attendees of the Breast Cancer Survivor’s Workshop about looking and feeling one’s best through alternative and
cosmetic therapies.

Survivors workshop
focuses on healing
By Lindsay Kriz

POMEROY — For
those who are ﬁghting or
who have fought a battle
with breast cancer, it’s
not only about a cure —
it’s also about healing.
With this message in
mind, Meigs County’s
own Pink With Purpose
hosted a Breast Cancer
Survivor’s Workshop on
Wednesday for dozens of
women looking for just
that: healing.
Both Heidi Rittenour
and Carolyn Grueser,
breast screening
coordinator, run the Pink
With Purpose Program,
which is funded by Susan
G. Komen Columbus.
The event hosted
multiple speakers in
a three-hour period,
the ﬁrst speaker of the
morning being Dr. Travis
Love, of NeuLogics
Wellness and Medical
Spa. His presentation
was titled, “Looking

and Feeling your Best:
Alternative and Cosmetic
Therapies that Can
Improve Your SelfConﬁdence and Restore
Your Vitality.” Love spoke
about his own mother’s
struggle with breast
cancer and recovery, and
ﬁelded questions from
those in attendance.
Next, after a catered
lunch, the attendees
heard from Dave
Hawkins, CNC, of
Mother Earth Foods, with
a presentation regarding
those foods that are best
for one’s body, including
organic foods, with
a presentation titled,
“Nutrition for Healing
and Wellness.”
The presentation took
a musical turn with
information — and some
musical instruments
— provided by Sara
Richardson, MT-BC,
with Central Ohio Music
Therapy. She discussed

Lynch seeks
re-election
By Lorna Hart
lhart@civitasmedia.com

POMEROY — Before becoming Meigs County Clerk of
Courts, Diane Lynch worked as
deputy clerk in the ofﬁce for 27
years.
Now in her second term, she
said her hands-on experience
was — and still is — the best
teacher for the job.
The clerk of courts ofﬁce is
responsible for two departments:
Legal and Title, both housed in
the Meigs County Courthouse.
The ofﬁce is responsible for ﬁling, docketing, indexing and
preserving all
court pleadings for
civil, felony, criminal and domestic
relations cases.
Appeals from
all lower courts
within the county Lynch
are processed in
this ofﬁce.
The clerk of courts must follow procedures required by law
and issue writs to carry out
court orders. Some of these
writs include summons, subpoenas, warrants to arrest and transport to penal institutions.
Additional responsibilities
of the clerk include preserving records associated with the
ofﬁce, recording notary commissions, administering oaths,
storing naturalization records,
accepting passport applications
and issuing automobile and
watercraft titles.
“The job of clerk of courts is
diverse and complicated, and
I believe working as deputy
clerk empowered me with
knowledge and understanding
I would not have been able to
bring to the office otherwise,”
Lynch said. “If I had not been
exposed to the workings of the
office before I was elected as
clerk of courts, it would have
made the transition more difficult for everyone. This is an
office that can’t afford a long
transition period when changes occur.”
She said she was pleased to
put court records online through
Courtview with the support of
the Meigs County Bar Association, and to upgrade their computer equipment with minimal
tax payer expense.
“I saw what other counties
were doing with online records
and wanted to do the same for
Meigs County. I was happy to
see it come to fruition,” Lynch
said.
Through Courtview, residents
are also able to download applications and power of attorney
documents before going to the
title ofﬁce. The website also
includes information about costs
of ﬁling certain legal documents
in the clerk of courts ofﬁce.

The Meigs County
Commissioners heard
from Mary Miller,
founder of Inclusions,
LLC about Disabilities
Awareness Month, which

Disabilities Awareness
Month comes from

sees them as equals.
The facility is located

Ohio Valley recycles
2.7M pounds in ‘15
Staff Report

WELLSTON — Residents in Gallia, Jackson, Meigs
and Vinton counties recycled more than 2.7 million
pounds in 2015, beating their 2014 record by approximately 200,000 pounds.
The recycling program is provided through a
partnership between Rumpke and the Gallia-JacksonMeigs-Vinton Solid Waste Management District. It
began January 2014 with 28 sites and 49 containers.
The program now includes 27 sites and 50 containers
located throughout the four counties.
The program accepts plastic bottles and jugs, cartons, metal cans, glass bottles and jars, paper and
cardboard. Residents should place these recyclables
unbagged in the Rumpke recycling container. Items
that are not on the list should not be placed in the
container, including plastic bags, hangers, chains,
hazardous materials, VHS tapes, pressurized tanks or
trash.
“Residents obviously care a lot about recycling
and they’re doing a lot of good,” said Nick Rupert,
Rumpke municipal representative. “To do even better,
it’s important to recycle only the acceptable items,
meaning no plastic bags, no hazardous materials and
deﬁnitely no trash.”
Unacceptable items can be a safety risk for employees, damage equipment and even increase the costs of
the program. They can also ruin otherwise good recyclables that other residents place in the container.
Advanced equipment and technology are used to
sort the items by type at one of Rumpke’s recycling
facilities. The recycled material is used to create a
variety of new products.

POMEROY — The Meigs County Firefighter’s Association, in conjunction with the Ohio
Department of Natural Resources Division of
Forestry, reminds residents of Meigs County
that open burning is prohibited in March,
April, May, October and November during the
hours of 6 a.m. to 6 p.m.
This ban includes burning of yard waste,
trash and debris even if contained in a proper
burn barrel. Any person conducting a burn
within the permitted times must obtain landowner permission, contact their local fire
chief to notify them of an opening burn taking
place, remain with the fire while it is burning
and take all reasonable precautions to prevent
the fire from spreading.
Burn barrels must be a metal barrel in
good condition with an area ground down to
gravel or mineral soil at least 10 feet around
each side of the incinerator. Barrels should
have three evenly spaced 3-inch square vents,
backed by a metal screen. The top of the burn
barrel should be covered by an expanded
metal screen with holes no larger than 5/8 of
an inch.
Other restrictions on burning in Ohio
include:Fires must be more than 1000 feet
from a neighbor’s inhabited building
No burning when air pollution alerts, warnings or emergencies are in effect
Fire/smoke cannot obscure visibility on
roadways, railways or airfields
No waste generated off the premises may be
burned
No burning within village or city limits or
restricted areas
Items that are not allowed to be burned at
any time or any place in Ohio:Food waste
Dead animals
Materials containing rubber, grease, asphalt
or products made from petroleum
In Ohio, the term “open burn” refers to
debris, brush and trash fires. The Ohio Environmental Protection Agency defines an open
burn as any outdoor fire without a chimney or
stack. Open burning is particularly dangerous
in the spring and fall, when the leaves are on
the ground, the grass is no longer green and
the weather is warm, dry and windy.
Individuals with questions are encouraged
to contact their local fire chief or contact the
Ohio Division of Forestry at 1-877-247-8733.

From Page 1

The job of Meigs clerk of courts is
complicated by the fact the title ofﬁce
is not on the same ﬂoor as the clerk’s
ofﬁce, and Lynch said she has been
exploring possibilities where the two
ofﬁces could be side by side.
“Not only would it increase efﬁciency
for our ofﬁces to be beside each other,
our customers would beneﬁt, especially
those who ﬁnd it difﬁcult to maneuver
steps and elevators,” she said. “And it
would ease frustration on the part of
customers who have to go back and
forth between the two ofﬁces to accomplish their task, as routinely happens.”
The title ofﬁce has seen an increase
in requests for watercraft and automobile titles as Meigs County’s economy
has increased in 2014 and 2015, and

Ohio considers parole for 55-year fugitive
COLUMBUS (AP) —
An Ohio board heard
arguments Thursday on
whether to grant parole
to a man who disappeared from a prison
camp in 1959 while serving time for manslaughter and was found last
year in rural Florida.
Frank Freshwaters
wasn’t at the hearing
before the full state
parole board in Columbus. But his attorney,
Gordon Beggs, told the
board that Freshwaters
has lived a clean life and
never forgot the accident
that led to his case.

talked to the board about
him. She said that Freshwaters has become like

with her family in Florida if he’s released from

Investigators who
tracked down Freshwaters
last May say he was living
off Social Security beneﬁts under an alias at a
weathered trailer in rural
Brevard County, Florida.
They found him living as
a retired widower under
an old alias, William Harold Cox.
The 79-year-old was
returned to Ohio and
had a closed parole

hearing in August.
Freshwaters had pleaded guilty to a manslaughter charge for fatally
striking a 24-year-old
pedestrian while speeding
in a vehicle in July 1957,
and his initial sentence
of one to 20 years in
prison was suspended.
He violated his probation
by driving and getting a
driver’s license, and, at
22, he was imprisoned
in February 1959 at the
Ohio State Reformatory,
according to the marshals

and old court documents
they provided.
He was soon moved
to an honor camp near
Sandusky, where he was
reported missing on Sept.
30, 1959, according to
the Ohio Department of
Rehabilitation and Correction.
He was ﬁrst caught in
West Virginia in 1975, but
the governor refused to
extradite him, concluding
Freshwaters had a “ﬂawless 16-year residency”
there.

Commune
with God
to combat
commotion
People often live in the swirl of incessant commotions.
Commotions are subtle energetic situations that keep us spiritually distracted
and emotionally drained if they remain
unresolved. Commotions conﬂict with
well-being. Commotions countermand the
status of serenity we crave for our days
and our nights.
In many instances, the attitudes and
actions of other people stir
up commotions. Pesky circumstances inﬂame commotions. Sometimes our own
stupidity instigates lingering
commotions.
Regardless, commotion is
comparable to a thick smoke
Ron
that surrounds the senses
Branch of the soul. Knowing which
Pastor
way to turn is impaired.
Insight is seriously
obscured. Frustrations often set in to the
point of making a person want to scream
out loud for lack of relief and peace.
However, we take from one of the experiences of David how to most effectively
deal with commotion. His son, Absalom,
stirred up a great deal of commotion for
David. Absalom successfully excited the
people to make him king instead of David.
In the face of Absalom’s approaching
army, David and those still true to him
ﬂed Jerusalem and disappeared into the
Wilderness of Judah.
At some point early in the retreat, David
wrote a particular psalm. Despite the commotion swirling about him, David wrote
calmly and expressively about communing
with God.
Communing with God was a key factor
for David being able to deal with the commotion Absalom was instigating. It is from
David’s psalm that we learn an incredible
and valuable lesson to practice — commune with God to combat the commotion.
Communing with God means that the
emotional and spiritual distractions are
shut out in order to focus on God. “O
God, you are my God. Early I will seek
you.” These are words which exemplify
exact focus on God.
It takes time to focus on God. It takes
effort to focus on God. It takes concentration to focus on God. We should, we can,
and we must take time, effort and concentration to focus on God, who is the only
One that can bring relief from the distractions and heartaches of commotions.
Focus on God amounts to the exact
opposite of what commotions accomplish
by turning our focus away from God. Inner
peace starts with focus on God. Why do we
forget that so often and so easily?
Communing with God means that we
verbally and prayerfully praise God. David
wrote, “My mouth shall praise you with
joyful lips.” There is something very valuable about praising God during commotional times in that verbal praise of God
affects our eyes. Praise causes us to look
up toward God. Instead of looking around
at the swirls of commotion, praise of God
lifts our sight.
Remember the example of Apostle
Peter. He wanted to walk on the water
with the Lord. And, he did for a moment
as he kept looking at the Lord. But, when
he got to looking around at the commotion of swirling waves and blowing winds,
he sank. What we look at is important!
Verbal praise of God lifts our look and
makes a vital difference. Would you not
rather image God as David did than the
discouraging circumstances?
Communing with God means that we
purposely take advantage of God’s help.
David told God, “I will rejoice in the shadow of your wings,” which is one of the
most tender references to be found in the
Word of God concerning the help of God.
“Wings” refers to quick, deﬁnitive
action. So, we depend upon God to help
quickly and deﬁnitively resolve the commotion swirling around us.
But, then, there is the reference to
“shadow.” God’s wings, which are associated with His help, cast an important
shadow. It is a shadow which never changes. There is no “variableness” with the
shadow God’s wings casts. It never gets
short. It always stays steady.
Then, there is the constant comfort
of the shadow cast by God’s wings. A
shadow makes for incredible shade from
the heat during the course of a hot day.
By contrast, communing with God cast an
effective and protective shadow when we
have to deal with the heat generated by
swirling commotions.
If you want to combat the commotion,
commune with God.

Mason, W.Va.

God serves as beacon in difficult times

When I was 11 years old
and living in a rural part
of West Virginia, I and my
younger brothers were
walking home one day
along a mile-long strip of
dirt road.
To the right of the road
rose a hill covered with various hardwood trees. To the
left of our road was a deep
ravine, a gash in the earth
carved by a small stream
that could, with almost no
warning, turn into a raging
whitewater with just a little
bit of rain.
As my siblings and I
plodded the familiar path
towards our house, we were
stopped in our tracks by a
sound like someone beating
on the bottom of a kettle. We
peered cautiously over the
side of the ravine and saw
14 feet below us the skeletal
form of a small terrier dog
staggering about blindly. Its
head was completely wedged
inside a plastic barrel which
it was beating upon the stony
stream bed.
The poor animal was
clearly in a sad state. As
we looked down upon it, I
couldn’t tell if it would ﬁrst
die of suffocation or simply
succumb to the starvation
that obviously held it in its
grasp. It weakly weaved
about, vainly trying to
dislodge its head from the
container again and again
by placing its puny paws on
the barrel’s rim.
My brothers looked at me
and I looked at them. We

It’s good to be wheat in the kingdom of God
There’s a popular saying
which goes, “Sitting in a
church pew doesn’t make
you a Christian any more
than sitting in a garage
makes you a car.”
There’s a lot of truth to
that statement, and Jesus
Himself would have agreed
with it. In a way, Jesus
did agree with it when He
taught His disciples the
Parable of the Tares.
Jesus said that the Kingdom, that is, His church,
would be like a sower
going out to sow seeds in
his ﬁeld. After the sower
sowed good wheat seeds, an
enemy came by and sowed
tare seeds. The weeds were
of a sort, that at ﬁrst looked
like the wheat, and so the
owner of the ﬁeld forbade
his workers from tearing
them up, lest they harm the
wheat also. But at the harvest, telling the two apart
would be easy and the tares
could then be tossed in the
ﬁre. (cf. Matthew 13:24-30)
In explaining the Parable,
Jesus identiﬁed Himself
as the sower, and the good
seed, the wheat, as the sons
of the Kingdom, that is,
Christians. (cf. Matthew
13:37-38) These good seeds
would be gathered up at the
harvest and would thereafter shine as the sun in the
Kingdom of their father.

Workshop

TODAY IN HISTORY...

From Page 1

Today is Friday, Feb. 26,
the 57th day of 2016. There
are 309 days left in the year.
Today’s Highlight in History:
On Feb. 26, 1916, actorcomedian Jackie Gleason
was born in Brooklyn, New
York.
On this date:
In 1616, astronomer
Galileo Galilei met with a
Roman Inquisition ofﬁcial,
Cardinal Robert Bellarmine,
who ordered him to abandon the “heretical” concept
of heliocentrism, which
held that the earth revolved
around the sun, instead of

music to one’s ear and how the power
of music can bring healing, as food and
alternative and cosmetic therapies can.
Lastly, those in attendance learned
about the ability to heal the body’s
nerves in a presentation titled, “Beneﬁts
of Massage Therapy for Relaxation
and Pain Relief.” The presentation was
given by Rachel Batty, LMT, of Athens
Medical Massage.
During this workshop, the showcase
organizations and groups were
Southeastern Breast and Cervical
Cancer Project, Ohio University
Heritage College of Osteopathic
Medicine Community Outreach
Program, WVU Cancer Institute at
Camden Clark Medical Center, Holzer
Center for Cancer Care and Memorial
Health System’s Strecker Cancer Center.
Booths from these organizations and
groups were set up around the room
with information and free goodies.
Alongside the workshop, Rittenour
said she and Grueser have again applied
for their annual Susan G. Komen
Columbus grant, and added this year’s
Pink With Purpose program will be a bit
different, as the grant they applied for
this year is called a navigation grant.
“Basically what that means is our job
is going to be more focused on healing
ladies, helping them get mammograms,
making appointments for them, ﬁnding
doctors, helping them get to follow-up
appointments and helping them with gas
(costs),” Rittenour said. “We’re going to
link them to other grants and programs
that help them ﬁnd ﬁnancial assistance.
“The theory is that, in the past, so
many people didn’t have insurance, and
now with the Affordable Healthcare Act
everybody is supposed to have some
sort of medical coverage. So what were
focusing on is how to use it — how
to get into the health care system to
get care that they need and see what’s
available.”
Rittenour said there are many
programs for those with high
deductibles as well, and that any
guidance for those who are unsure of
what they need is a guarantee.
“It’s hard for people to ﬁgure out
where to go and what to do, and that’s
kind of the focus this year,” she said.

With Purpose ofﬁce, located at 117 E.
Memorial Drive in Pomeroy.

splash park project, as opposed to a
Middleport Skate Park, which was
the original intention. Baker said that
the splash park project has received
much more positive feedback than the
skateboard project, and that the only
thing they would need to do for the
splash park, if the money is granted,
is to send in their purchase order. On
the other hand, should the money
only be allowed for building the
skate park, the village will have to
start from scratch, she said.
The commissioners said they
would make contact with the
funding resource ofﬁcials in order
to see what needed to be done for
this change to happen.
The commissioners approved
two resolutions from Chris Shank,
of the Meigs County Department
of Job and Family Services. One
resolution approved Shank to
promote Larry Byer from a child
support case manager to the child
support case manager/investigator
superior 1 position. This will
be in effect Feb. 29. The second
resolution authorizes Shank to
employ Amanda Eason as an
eligibility referral specialist II at
a date that mutually beneﬁcial to
both parties.
The commissioners also approved

South Gallia outlasts Tornadoes
By Bryan Walters

bwalters@civitasmedia.com

ROCKSPRINGS —
Eventually, the experience mattered.
South Gallia’s ﬁve
seniors accounted for all
but four points Wednesday night as the secondseeded Rebels survived a
major scare from visiting
Southern during a 50-48
victory in a Division IV
boys basketball sectional
ﬁnal at Larry R. Morrison Gymnasium on the
campus of Meigs High
School.
The Rebels (18-5) shot
over 50 percent from the
ﬁeld in each half, but the
hosts still needed a 14-10
run over the ﬁnal eight
minutes of regulation
to narrowly secure the
program’s sixth sectional
championship in school
history.
The 10th-seeded Tornadoes (6-18) — who
have zero seniors on their
roster — successfully
used numerous defensive
approaches to stay in contention, which ultimately
allowed SHS to claim
the largest lead by either
team at 32-26 with 4:36
remaining in the third
period.
SGHS, however,
whittled its deﬁcit down
to 38-36 headed into the
ﬁnale, then made 6-of-8
ﬁeld goal attempts while
forcing ﬁve Southern
turnovers down the
stretch. The Rebels led
the ﬁnal 4:36 of regulation, but the Tornadoes
had opportunities to pull
off the stunning upset all
the way to the end.
Trailing 50-48 with 6.8
seconds remaining, the
Purple and Gold had a
sideout possession on
their end of the ﬂoor.
The ensuing possession
resulted in a very decent
look at a three-pointer for
Dylan Smith in the right
corner, but the shot ultimately bounced off the
rim and into the air as
the horn sounded.
The Rebels — who lost
to Southern by a 50-35
count in last year’s D-4
sectional ﬁnal at MHS
— picked up their third
consecutive decision over
the Tornadoes this winter after posting regular
season wins of 65-50 and
67-47 in TVC Hocking
play.
As fourth-year SGHS
coach Larry Howell noted
afterwards, missing out

South Gallia senior Landon Hutchinson is fouled while releasing a shot attempt over Southern
defender Crenson Rogers (34) during the third quarter of Wednesday night’s Division IV boys
basketball sectional final at Meigs High School in Rocksprings, Ohio.

on last year’s district
tournament may have
provided enough inspiration for his troops to get
back to the Ohio University Convocation Center
in Athens.
“We knew coming
in that Coach Caldwell
would have a plan to
make our night tough.
His kids were wellprepared and they came
ready to play from start
to ﬁnish, so deﬁnitely
give them credit for
that. There was nothing
easy about any part of
this one,” Howell said.
“Southern did a good job
against our press and hit
shots early on, so we had
to rely on our man-toman defense there in the
second half. We were able
to make some stops and
it also helped spark our
offense.
“In the end, I just think
that our kids — especially
the seniors — remembered losing to Southern
in this same sectional
ﬁnal game a year ago. We
were really determined to
not let that happen again,
so that is what makes this
upcoming trip to Athens
so special. All of the hard
work paid off.”

The game was a rollercoaster from the start as
Southern established a
6-3 lead three minutes in,
but the hosts countered
with a 6-3 run to knot
things up at nine with
1:06 left. Corey Rhodes
nailed a trifecta on a
dribble-drive pass from
Joseph Ehman with four
seconds remaining, giving the Rebels a 12-9
cushion through eight
minutes of play.
The Tornadoes hit ﬁve
of their ﬁrst seven shots
to start the second canto,
allowing the guests to
make a 13-5 run en route
to a 22-17 lead with 3:40
left in the ﬁrst half.
SGHS followed with
four straight points to
close to within 22-21 with
2:17 left, but Southern
answered with triples by
Blake Johnson and Trey
Pickens as part of a 6-4
run — allowing Southern
to take a 28-25 edge into
the break.
The Rebels were 10-of16 from the ﬁeld and a
perfect 3-of-3 from threepoint range in the ﬁrst
half, but the also committed eight costly turnovers
over that same span.
SHS, conversely, had only

four turnovers at halftime
and was 11-of-26 from
the ﬁeld overall — including a 6-of-14 effort from
behind the arc.
Crenson Rogers scored
while completing a
small 4-1 run at the 4:36
mark of the third stanza,
which allowed the Purple
and Gold to take a full
two-possession lead at
32-26. SGHS, however,
answered with ﬁve consecutive points as Landon
Hutchinson capped things
with an old-fashioned
three-point play for a
32-31 contest with 4:01
remaining.
Hutchinson’s successful
free throw attempt also
proved historic as the
four-year senior starter
became just the ﬁfth boys
basketball player at SGHS
to reach 1,000 points for
a career, joining Jason
Merrick, Josh Waugh,
Curt Waugh and Brayden
Greer as members of that
elusive club.
The Tornadoes
answered by thwarting
any possible momentum
with a 6-3 run over the
next three-plus minutes,
but Josh Henry hauled in

From Page 6

an offensive rebound and
converted the putback
with four seconds left —
making it a 38-36 SHS
advantage headed into
the ﬁnale.
The Rebels tied things

at 38 just 17 seconds into
the fourth, but Southern
made a small 3-2 run to
cling to a 41-40 edge with
5:18 remaining. South
Gallia freshman Caleb
Henry converted a back
door layup at the 4:36
mark … and the Rebels
led the rest of the way.
Southern trailed by as
many as ﬁve points (46-

41) with 2:14 left and was
again down 47-43 with
1:07 remaining, but the

overs also coming down
the stretch run.
The ﬁnal result was
tough to stomach, but
ninth-year SHS coach Jeff
Caldwell couldn’t have
been more thrilled with
what his troops did over
the course of their ﬁnal
32 minutes this year. As
he noted, it was the kind
of performance that leads
to optimism moving forward.
“The only negative that
I have about tonight is
the scoreboard, and even
then I don’t know that I
can really call that a negative,” Caldwell said. “We
did everything we had to
do to be right there at the
end against a really good
South Gallia squad, and
we had an opportunity to
win it. It just didn’t work
out for us at the end.
“Our kids did a lot of
things right out there on
the ﬂoor and I couldn’t be
more proud of their effort
or their execution. South
Gallia just had a little too
much for us tonight, but
this is also the kind of
game that can make us
better in the future.”
South Gallia ﬁnished
the night 20-of-35 from
the ﬁeld for 57 percent,
which included a 4-of-10
effort from behind the arc
for 40 percent. The hosts
committed 13 turnovers
and were also 6-of-11 at
the free throw line for 55
percent.
Landon Hutchinson
had at least four points in
each quarter and led the
Rebels with a game-high
19 points. The senior
spoke afterwards about
his accomplishment and
the night in general.
“I’ve really enjoyed
my four years at South
Gallia, especially playing
for Coach Howell and all
the guys I’ve called teammates over that time,”
Hutchinson said. “If it
wasn’t for any of those
people, I wouldn’t have
been to able to reach a
milestone like this. The

hard work paid off in a
sense, but I’m happier
that this comes in a hardfought win that sends us
to the Convo.”
Ehman was next with
10 points and a team-best
eight rebounds, while
Darren Drenner and Kane
Hutchinson respectively
chipped in nine and ﬁve
markers to the winning
cause. Rhodes was next
with three points, while
the Josh Henry and Caleb
Henry rounded things out
with two points apiece.
The Rebels outrebounded SHS by a small 18-16
overall margin, including
a slim 6-5 edge on the
offensive glass. The Tornadoes did not have an
offensive rebound in the
second half.
Southern made 18-of40 shot attempts for 45
percent, including a 7-of18 effort from three-point
range for 39 percent. The
Purple and Gold also
went 5-of-6 at the charity
stripe for 83 percent.
Smith paced SHS with
18 points, followed by
Blake Johnson with 15
points and Rogers with
eight markers. Trey Pickens and Jaylen Blanks
respectively wrapped up
the Southern tally with
ﬁve and two points.
Both Pickens and Tylar
Blevins led the Tornadoes with four rebounds
apiece.
South Gallia advances
the D-4 district semiﬁnals
at the OU Convocation
Center on Tuesday, where
the Rebels will face sixthseeded Western at 8 p.m.
The Indians defeated
third-seeded Portsmouth
Notre Dame at Northwest
High School Wednesday
night by a 54-44 margin.
SGHS has appeared in
the district ﬁnal in each
of its last two trips to the
Convo in 2012 and 2014.
The Rebels also won sectional titles in 2005, 2006
and 2011.
