Funds are currently being raised for the project, and donations are being accepted at city hall. New Haven shoots for new hoops court By Mindy Kearns Special to OVP NEW HAVEN, W.Va. — The Town of New Haven is moving forward on a recreational overhaul project that ofﬁcials have been mulling since 2012. According to Recorder Roberta Hysell, the town is raising funds to enable ofﬁcials to turn a portion of the town’s tennis court into a basketball court. The present court has two tennis areas and is located next to the community center and municipal swimming pool. Built when tennis was a popular sport in the Bend Area, they are now often unused, Hysell said. The town is hoping to convert one tennis court into a basketball court. Basketball remains a popular activity in New Haven, Hysell said, with both men and youth oftentimes renting the community center to hold pick-up games. Turning one tennis court into a basketball facility would allow for outdoor play during nice weather. The recorder said various residents have approached the town since 2012 with the idea. One of the strong supporters is Benjamin Foreman, now a college student, who has pledged his assistance while on summer break. THE PLAN New Haven is raising funds to enable officials to turn a portion of the town’s tennis court into a basketball court. Hysell said making the project become a reality will take a lot of work — and money. The cracks in the court ﬂoor must be sealed, and the basketball court requires painting with shooting and foul lines. Basketball poles, backboards and rims must be purchased, and Hysell said while the area is already fenced in, a fence down the center to separate tennis from basketball is needed. She said a new tennis net is needed, as well. The courts have lights and Hysell said a timer is needed to enable the town to control how late the courts can be used. She said at the present time, ofﬁcials are considering “lights out” at 10 p.m. Hysell said the town already has commitments from local residents and plants for some of the labor involved. Money is now the issue and she is currently heading up a fundraiser.

Once again Ohio Valley Bank worked to promote ﬁnancial literacy within area high schools. This year’s OVB BANKit! program took place in six participating schools. The program, which was launched in 2010, reached students at Gallia Academy High School, River Valley High School and South Gallia High School in Ohio, as well as Point Pleasant High School, Wahama High School and the Mason County Career Center in West Virginia. Approximately 360 students completed the program this year. OVB BANKit! brings real-life banking lessons through an interactive format. The program also works as a game where students compete to win cash prizes. It spans the entirety of the school year or semester. At the beginning of the school year, students are presented with $100 in “buzz bucks,” the OVB BANKit! currency. They can choose to keep some of their buzz bucks in cash or place it in different mock accounts, which include checking, savings, money market and certiﬁcate of deposit. In addition, they can choose to purchase shares of Pseudosoft stock, the ﬁctional OVB BANKit! company. The goal is to have the highest money portfolio total at the end of the school year. Each month, students have the opportunity to do their banking and deposit money into their accounts of choice as needed. However, they must manage their money properly as they also are required to draw a Real Life Card during each session. The Real Life Card may provide unexpected extra cash or could be a bill that the student must to pay. In addition to the game aspect, students engage in a lesson regarding various banking topics. Examples of lessons covered this year include: bank account types, check writing as well as basic bank paperwork including deposit and withdrawal tickets, credit, debit verses credit, budgeting and identity theft. This year’s students at all participating schools successfully completed the program. Each school winner with the highest portfolio total received a $50 cash prize. Each participating class per school also had a chance to compete against one another. The classroom per school with the highest average total won a group prize as well. In addition, on the last day of the program all students in participating classrooms played a Final Review Game, which covered all of the OVB BANKit! topics. The winner of each Final Review Game was awarded a $20 cash prize. The following students were OVB BANKit! winners of the 2015-16 school year: Ben Arrowood, River Valley High School (semester two); Erin Morgan, River Valley High School (semester one); Destiny Ingels, Wahama High School; Jolie Jarrett, Gallia Academy High School; Thaddeus Martin, Point Pleasant High School; Matthew McCarthy, Mason County Career Center; Brandon Rutt, South Gallia High School. Winners of the Final Review Game: Gallia Academy: Dondre Armstrong, Seth Flinner, Emily Walker and Trentin Waller; Point Pleasant High School: Victoria Trimble, Brandi Stroup and Kayla Pearson; River Valley High School (semester two): Jack Farley, Madison Scott, Jennifer Mitchell, Patrick Brown, Ben Arrowood and Sophia Branham; South Gallia High School: James Congrove, Austin Ashworth and Nicholas Johnston; Wahama High School: Allison Holley, Billy Joe McDermitt and Kristin DeVault.

See CAREERS | 5 �E ditorial 4 Thursday, June 2, 2016 Daily Sentinel THEIR VIEW Paint your perception the correct color Recently my hubby painted our kitchen sage green — just the focal wall, but with the open ﬂoor layout, the kitchen wall is visible from the living room and hallway. Color gleaming from that one wall made the entire house seem cozier. Inspired to spread the warmth to other rooms, I dipped into my samples and smattered red and tan onto the white walls. But as I viewed the splotches from various angles, I realized that the colors that looked Michele Z. Marcum amazing weren’t necessarily compatContributing ible with the sage in the kitchen. I painted patches of blues and Columnist greens until the colors on my interior walls all seemed to run together like melted crayons in a metal heat register. So, I decided to postpone my choice until morning. In the morning light, the red appeared to be more orange than it had before, and the blue looked more purple. I ﬁnally slapped some pale yellow on a wall, and my husband agreed that it was the only color that was appealing from every angle. When we are presented with choices that involve our relationships with others, the options can overlap so much that they appear like a conglomerate of colors, creating a pallet that makes it difﬁcult for us to distinguish between the ones that complement each other and the ones that clash. If we are confused about which decision is best for us, often changing our vantage point, or viewing the situation from another person’s perspective, will permit us to see an entirely different shade. Painting is about as messy as decision-making. Covering up all the test patches wasn’t as easy as I’d presumed. I had the off-white base color that was adorning all the walls, but when I rolled it on, I realized it was a dramatically different shade than the rest of the white walls. I had the same brand of paint and the same formula that had been used to paint previously, yet it was noticeably a much whiter white. It was whiter no matter from which angle I looked and was discernable even in dim light. This was deﬁnitely the wrong shade. All decisions aren’t so self-evident, but if we are unsure how to interpret what looks like someone melted all our crayons and created an impressionistic piece of art-work, we must step out of our well-worn stance and look at the piece from the ﬂoor, from the ceiling — look at it with the lights on, with the lights off. We must keep observing the situation until we see what we hadn’t before. Something has shifted. The clues are there, we just have to ﬁnd them like the hidden objects in a picture puzzle. Life is our picture puzzle. If we are to ﬁnd the solution, we must check out the view from a variety of angles, ﬁnd the one that provides a perspective we hadn’t previously considered. Relationship challenges are like hues — the subtlest shift along the color wheel can yield the most amazing revelations. We often forget that the shade we’ve chosen — the choice we’ve made — will look different in the bright noon sun than it does in the twilight. Our off-white may appear bright white as we stand, hand-on-hips, shaking our heads and wondering who switched the formula in our can of paint when all we had to do was change our perception.

Today’s Highlight in History: On June 2, 1941, baseball’s “Iron Horse,” Lou Gehrig, died in New York of a degenerative disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis; he was 37. On this date: In 1863, during the Civil War, Union Maj. Gen. William T. Sherman wrote a letter to his wife, Ellen, in which he commented, “Vox populi, vox humbug” (The voice of the people is the voice of humbug). In 1886, President Grover Cleveland, 49, married Frances Folsom, 21, in the Blue Room of the White House. (To date, Cleveland is the only president to marry in the executive mansion.) In 1897, Mark Twain, 61, was quoted by the New York Journal as saying from London that “the report of my death was an exaggeration.” In 1924, Congress passed, and President Calvin Coolidge signed, a measure guaranteeing full American citizenship for all Native Americans born within U.S. territorial limits. In 1946, Italy held a referendum which resulted in the Italian monarchy being abolished in favor of a republic. In 1953, the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II took place in London’s Westminster Abbey, 16 months after the death of her father, King George VI. In 1966, U.S. space probe Surveyor 1 landed on the moon and began transmitting detailed photographs of the lunar surface. In 1976, Arizona Republic investigative reporter Don Bolles was mortally injured by a bomb planted underneath his car; he died 11 days later. (Prosecutors believed Bolles was targeted because he had written stories that upset a liquor wholesaler; three men were convicted of the killing.) In 1981, the Japanese video arcade game “Donkey Kong” was released by Nintendo. In 1983, half of the 46 people aboard an Air Canada DC-9 were killed after ﬁre broke out on board, forcing the jetliner to make an emergency landing at Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport. In 1986, for the ﬁrst time, the public could watch the proceedings of the U.S. Senate on television as a six-week experiment began. In 1997, Timothy McVeigh was convicted of murder and conspiracy in the 1995 bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City. (McVeigh was executed in June 2001.)

Russo Associated Press Peyton Manning and his old college football nemesis, Steve Spurrier, could enter the Hall of Fame at the same time. Manning, who lost to Spurrier’s Florida teams three times as starting quarterback for Tennessee, along with the retired Head Ball Coach are both making their ﬁrst appearance on the College Football Hall of Fame ballot. The National Football Foundation released Wednesday the names of 75 former players and six retired coaches who competed in FBS that will be up for election. The latest Hall of Fame class will be announced on Jan. 6 in Tampa, Florida, the site of the College Football Playoff national championship game. Manning, the former record-setting quarterback for the Volunteers, retired from the NFL after winning the Super Bowl with the Denver Broncos last season, making him eligible for the college hall. Spurrier retired during last season, ﬁnishing a 26-year career as the winningest coach at both Florida and South Carolina. He trails only Alabama’s Bear Bryant for most Southeastern Conference victories. Manning’s Tennessee teams went 0-4 against Florida from 1994-97, the last three games with him as the starter. Manning only lost three other games as a starter in college and was the 1997 Heisman Trophy runner-up to Charles Woodson of Michigan. Sixteen players appear on the ballot for the ﬁrst time. Other notable ﬁrst-timers include San Diego State running back Marshall Faulk, Southern California defensive back Troy Polamalu, California tight end Tony Gonzalez and Arizona State quarterback Jake Plummer. The holdover players on the ballot include three Heisman Trophy winners: Colorado running back Rashaan Salaam, Nebraska quarterback Eric Crouch and Southern California quarterback Matt Leinart. Coaches on the ballot include Danny Ford, who led Clemson to its only national title, and Darryl Rogers, who had success at Fresno State, San Jose State, Michigan State and Arizona State. The ballot also has 95 players and 29 coaches who competed outside of the highest division of college football, including former Mount Union coach Larry Kehres, who won 11 Division III national titles with the Purple Raiders. To be eligible for the ballot, a player must have been a ﬁrst-team All-American by one of the ﬁve organizations used by the NCAA to determine the consensus All-America team: The Associated Press; the American Football Coaches Association, the Football Writers of America Association; the Sporting News; and the Walter Camp Football Foundation. Coaches must have coached a minimum of 10 years and 100 games and won at least 60 percent of their games.

With the understood exception of one freshman, the remaining seven qualiﬁers for this season’s Ohio High School Athletic Association state track and ﬁeld meet are all previous state participants — in one way or another. Which means — hopefully — all eight from the Ohio Valley Publishing area are aiming to land spots on the awards podium, as the annual OHSAA state track and ﬁeld meet is set for Friday and Saturday inside Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium in Columbus. The “OVP Eight” for 2016 are actually competing in nine total events, with Eastern junior Alia Hayes qualifying for both the Division III girls discus throw and shot put. Hayes is one of three Eastern girls in Division III, as Eastern junior Jett Facemyer returns for the Division III boys 800m run. In the Division II meet, Gallia Academy is represented by one boy and one girl — as both are repeating to the track events in which they competed in a year ago. For Meigs, the Marauders will have one repeat boy and one freshman female competing in the Division II meet — as both are competing in morning ﬁeld events. All eight advanced to the state meet after placing in the top four of their respective regional meets, as the Division III regional took place at Fairﬁeld Union — with the Division II regional taking place at Athens High School. At Friday and Saturday’s state championships, the top eight placers in each event earn a spot on the awards podium — and automatic all-Ohio honors in the process. Last season, Cory Scarberry ﬁnished ﬁfth for Meigs in the boys seated shot put competition, throwing seven-feet and two-and-a-half inches — and tying Mason Metts for the highest ﬁnish in Meigs High School boys history. This season, the senior Scarberry — who will compete on Friday at 10:30 a.m. — is among seven competitors, and has the sixth-best qualifying throw of 10-feet and four inches. Scarberry, in fact, is the only senior qualiﬁer from the entire OVP area, as ﬁve of the eight are juniors — with Meigs freshman Kassidy Betzing and Eastern sophomore Jessica Cook. The only other placer from last season is Gallia Academy junior Madi Oiler, who ﬁnished sixth in the Division II girls 300m hurdles in 45.38 seconds. Oiler, in addition, kept alive the Blue Angels’ impressive streak of scoring at least one team point at the state meet in every state meet since 1997. Oiler was the regional runner-up in the 300m hurdles on Saturday, cl0cking a 45.46. She will run in the preliminaries on Friday at 3:20 p.m., running in Lane 3 of the opening of two heats. The top two placers in each heat, followed by the next ﬁve fastest times, qualify for Saturday’s ﬁnals. Of the 16 state qualiﬁers, Oiler enters with the fourthfastest time in her heat and the eighth-fastest regional time overall. Should she advance to Saturday’s ﬁnals, she will run at 2:15 p.m. Jasmine Harris of Pepper Pike Orange, who set the Division II girls state meet record in the 300m hurdles last year in 42.55, is in Lane 4 of the second heat. Betzing is the Lady Marauders’ only state qualiﬁer — after earning regional runner-up honors in the girls long jump with a leap of 17-feet, 10 and onequarter inches. Betzing — the lone freshman in the competition — will jump bright and early on Saturday morning at 9:30 a.m., and is the second jumper in the ﬁrst ﬂight of 16 total competitors. In fact, Betzing’s best regional jump trails just three qualiﬁers, including regional champion Elise Watts of Steubenville at 18-feet and one inch. Bryan Walters | OVP Sports Eastern junior Alia Hayes releases a throw in the shot put final at the Division III district track and field championships held Wednesday, May 18, at Southeastern High School in Londonderry, Ohio. Before Betzing jumps junior Jamari McDavid of Springﬁeld Kenton Ridge, who was only three-fourths of an inch shy of hitting 19-feet at the regional. The next closest qualifying jump is exactly 10 inches shorter — that of sophomore Katelyn Meyer of Pemberville Eastwood. Both Betzing and Oiler amassed district championships in their respective events, as did Gallia Academy junior Isaiah Lester, who returns to compete in the Division II boys 800m run. Lester completed the two laps in 2015 in two minutes and two seconds, and was actually seven onehundredths of a second shy of an even 2:03. He will run in Lane 3 on Saturday at 2:30 p.m., and his regional third-place ﬁnish was a minute and 58 seconds. Facemyer, in the same event in Division III, was 14th in last year’s 800m run in 2:02.54. This year, Facemyer ﬁnished fourth in the regional in exactly two minutes. Just before Facemyer will be Cook in the girls 800m run, as both Division III 800m ﬁnals are set for Saturday at 10:55 a.m. Cook, who qualiﬁed in the four-lap 1,600m run a year ago, placed third in the regional 800m in two minutes and 19 seconds — after capturing the event’s district championship. Facemyer — the 800m district runner-up — will begin from Lane 4, as Cook starts her race from Lane 6. Cook, along with junior Laura Pullins, made up half of Eastern’s state-qualifying 4x800m relay team a year ago. Pullins also qualiﬁed for the 400m dash last year, but returns to the high jump this season — after qualifying in that event as a freshman. Pullins cleared the bar at ﬁve-feet and two inches two years ago, and was one of four girls to jump 5-foot-2, but didn’t place. One of those other three, fellow junior Brooke Mangus of Ottoville, returns with Pullins — and has the highest jump of any of the 16 competitors at a hefty 5-foot-7. See OHSAA | 10 �SPORTS Daily Sentinel Thursday, June 2, 2016 7 Alex Hawley | OVP Sports Members of the Wahama baseball team celebrate after winning the Region 4 championship following a 7-0 victory over Gilmer County at J.C. Cook Field in Mason, W.Va. A Return to Power Park Wahama starts Class A title defense in rematch with Man By Bryan Walters bwalters@civitasmedia.com CHARLESTON, W.Va. — Half of the Class A ﬁeld played in the state ﬁnal a year ago, while all four participants have hoisted the championship trophy before. One thing is certain headed into this weekend at Appalachian Power Park — Man, Pendleton County, Wheeling Central Catholic and defending champion Wahama all have their eyes on the same prize … calling themselves the 2016 Class A baseball champions of West Virginia. The Class A state tournament pits four programs with varying postseason histories, as well as a quartet of very different roads that have led to Friday morning contests in the Mountain State’s capital city. Wheeling Central Catholic (17-9) and Pendleton County (25-9) open Class A semiﬁnal play at 10 a.m. Friday, with the White Falcons (20-11) and Man (12-17) scheduled to start the second semiﬁnal approximately 50 minutes following Game 1. The two winners from Friday’s contests will play in the second of three championship games on Saturday. The Class A ﬁnal will start at approximately 12:30 p.m. Both Wahama and the Hillbillies have accounted for the last two Class A crowns, with WHS knocking off the 2014 champions by a 7-0 count in last spring’s Class A state ﬁnal. The victory allowed the Red and White to capture the baseball program’s third state crown after previously winning titles in both 1996 and 1998. The White Falcons will be making their seventh state appearance in program history after also having qualiﬁed for the 1969, 1978 and 1988 tournaments. WHS is 8-3 all-time in Final Four contests and own a six-game winning streak at the state level headed into the weekend. Much like a year ago, the strength of Wahama has been based on dominant pitching, solid defense and sufﬁcient run support. The White Falcons have outscored opponents by a 243-92 overall margin this season, which averages out over 31 games to 7.8 runs scored and just under three runs allowed. More impressively, Wahama has outscored its 2016 tournament oppo- nents by a substantial 41-2 margin in ﬁve games — which includes a trio of shutouts. WHS owns 10 shutout victories this season and has scored 10-or-more runs in a dozen contests this season. Conversely, the White Falcons have surrendered six-or-more runs only ﬁve times this spring while being blanked on only three occasions — all of which came against regional qualiﬁers. Wahama — which won its eighth consecutive sectional title while also claiming a share of its third straight TVC Hocking championship so far this season — is only 5-5 in its last 10 games, but all ﬁve of those victories have come as the home team in tournament contests. However, the White Falcons will be the visiting team on the scoreboard Friday. The winner of the WHS-Man contest will also serve as the away team in Saturday’s championship tilt. On the bright side, the Red and White were the guests in each of their state tournament games a year ago en route to the program’s third title. Wahama’s opponent, Man, will be appearing in its third straight Class A Final Four. The Hillbillies own only the 2014 Class A championship in school history, but also ﬁnished as runners-up in 2009 and 2010. MHS was 1-6 and 2-10 early on during the regular season, but the Red and Blue found a late rhythm while stringing together wins in 10 of their ﬁnal 17 contests. Man has also won ﬁve of its last six outings and is a perfect 4-0 in tournament play. The Hillbillies, for the season, have barely edged past opponents by a 136124 overall margin — averages of 4.7 runs for and 4.3 runs against over 29 games. The postseason, however, has been a different stories as MHS has thumped opponents by a 29-2 count in four games — scoring an average of 7.3 runs while allowing only half of a run defensively. The Hillbillies have scored at least one run in 18 straight games after being shut out four times in their ﬁrst 11 outings. Three of Man’s ﬁve shutout wins have come in the postseason and the Hillbillies have scored 10-ormore runs in a game seven times this spring. MHS has used eight different starting pitchers throughout the course of the 2016 campaign, but senior Jake Adkins has started three of Man’s four postseason contests — all of which resulted in winning decisions. Adkins has started in 10 of 13 appearances on the mound, posting a 4-2 record while logging a team-high 57.2 innings of work. Adkins owns a 1.34 ERA and has allowed 22 runs, 40 hits and 25 walks while fanning 80. Junior Seth Chapman leads MHS with a .333 batting average and is tied with senior John Thomas Keffer with a team-best 20 RBIs apiece. Keffer is also the team leader with four home runs. Cameron Simpson is the only other Man batter with an average over .300 as the junior is hitting .315 for the year. Simpson also has 38 innings logged on the mound — second-most on the team — while sporting a 2-4 record in 12 appearances and six starts. The ﬁrst Class A contest features a pair of programs that haven’t been to the state level in a while. Wheeling Central Catholic last appeared in the state tournament after capturing the 2011 crown, while Pendleton County is coming back for the ﬁrst time since winning the 2004 championship. WCCHS — which also won state titles in 1999, 2000, 2005, 2007 and 2008 — has outscored opponents by a 184-124 overall margin, which averages out to 7.1 runs for and 4.8 runs allowed. The Maroon Knights are 4-1 this postseason and have outscored teams by a 35-13 overall margin, which averages out to seven runs for and 2.6 runs allowed. Wheeling Central Catholic has scored 10-ormore runs 10 times this spring and has allowed 10-or-more runs only three times. WCCHS has Bryan Walters | OVP Sports An outside view of Appalachian Power Park, home of the 2016 WVSSAC state baseball tournament being held Thursday through Saturday in Charleston, W.Va. one shutout victory and has been shut out once as well this year. PCHS — which is making its fourth state appearance in program history — has hammered the opposition this year by a 306-143 overall clip, which averages out to nine runs offensively and 4.2 runs allowed. The Wildcats are also a perfect 4-0 in tournament play while outscoring opponents by a 39-7 margin, averages of 9.8 runs for and 1.8 runs allowed. Pendleton County has scored 10-or-more runs on 16 different occasions this spring while also recording three shutout wins. Conversely, PCHS has allowed 10-or-more runs only three times while being shut out only once. The Class AA semiﬁnals start Thursday at 4:30, with Game 1 featuring Braxton County (22-10) and defending champion Bridgeport (286). The second AA semiﬁnal pits PikeView (22-3) against Wayne (23-10-1). The two winners will play at 10 a.m. Saturday in the Class AA ﬁnal. The Class AAA semiﬁnals start Friday at 5 p.m., with Game 1 featuring Wheeling Park (14-12) and defending champion Jefferson (343). The second AAA semiﬁnal pits Ripley (2411) against Nitro (23-10). The two winners will play at approximately 3 p.m. Saturday in the Class AAA ﬁnal. Bryan Walters can be reached at 740-446-2342, ext. 2101.

How is it possible to make monthly credit card payments and never get anywhere? This problem is caused by high interest rates that eats up most of your payments. Even though you make your minimum payment, you don’t make much headway eliminating the debt. Luckily, there’s a way to find debt relief without incurring more debts. Using certified credit counseling like Consolidated Credit, you can get professional advice to identify the right solution for your needs. A certified credit counselor can review your options to see which solution is best for you. You can qualify for lower interest rates or even eliminate them, while consolidating your credit card debt into one easy payment to get you out of debt faster. Every financial institution differs, but most people see a reduction of total payments by up to 30-50% as they pay off debt faster. Freedom from debt can become a reality!

DR_16461_3x3.5 �SPORTS 10 Thursday, June 2, 2016 Daily Sentinel Warriors-Cavs are the 14th NBA Finals rematch MIAMI (AP) — It’ll either be repeat or redemption. A rematch will decide. Cleveland and Golden State are about to reunite in the NBA Finals, starting Thursday night in Oakland, California. It’s the 14th Finals rematch. A good sign for Cleveland, which lost to Golden State last season: Six of the last seven teams that lost the Finals one year won the rematch encounter. A good sign for Golden State: The only exception to that trend came in 1997 and 1998, when Utah Jazz lost back-to-back to the Chicago Bulls — a team that featured current Warriors coach Steve Kerr. Of the previous 13 rematches, defending champions have retained their title six times. A look at some past rematches: MINNEAPOLIS LAKERS vs. NEW YORK KNICKS 1952: Lakers 4, Knicks 3. George Mikan averaged 21.7 points and 17.4 rebounds, and the Lakers beat the Knicks in seven games. The teams alternated wins and losses in each game. 1953: Lakers 4, Knicks 1. Mikan was dominant again, averaging 20.8 points. The Knicks took Game 1 on the road, but the Lakers won the next four — keyed by two twopoint triumphs. ST. LOUIS HAWKS vs. BOSTON CELTICS 1957: Celtics 4, Hawks 3. A tremendous series, with four of the seven games decided by two points — including Game 7, the Celtics winning 125-123 in double overtime. 1958: Hawks 4, Celtics 2. Denied a title the previous year, Hawks star Bob Pettit averaged 29.3 points and 17 rebounds — with 50 points in the Game 6 clincher. 1960: Celtics 4, Hawks 3. Tom Heinsohn averaged 22.4 points, Bill Russell averaged 24.9 rebounds and the Celtics got four double-digit wins, including a 122-103 victory in Game 7. 1961: Celtics 4, Hawks 1. More of the same. Heinsohn led the Celtics in scoring again at 22 points, Russell grabbed an astounding 28.8 rebounds and Boston easily defended its title. LOS ANGELES LAKERS vs. BOSTON CELTICS 1962: Celtics 4, Lakers 3. Lakers stars Elgin Baylor (who had a 61-point game, a Finals record) and Jerry West were brilliant, averaging 72 points per game. But the Celtics rallied from 3-2 down. Bill Russell averaged 22.9 points and 27 rebounds for Boston. 1963: Celtics 4, Lakers 2. Baylor and West averaged 63 points per game. The Celtics, with Sam Jones, Tom Heinsohn and Russell leading the way, had Starr resigns from chancellor role WACO, Texas (AP) — Ken Starr resigned as Baylor University’s chancellor on Wednesday, a week after he was removed as president of the Texas school amid a scandal over its handling of sexual assault cases involving football players. Starr, who will continue to teach at the law school, told ESPN’s “Outside the Lines” for an interview broadcast Wednesday that he didn’t know about the allegations of sexual assault involving members of Baylor’s vaunted football program until media reports ﬁrst surfaced in 2015. “I didn’t know about what was happening, but I have to, and I willingly do accept responsibility. The captain goes down with the ship,” said Starr, who gained renown as the special prosecutor who investigated then-President Bill Clinton’s affair with a White House intern. Starr had been Baylor president since 2010. The school hired the Philadelphia law ﬁrm Pepper Hamilton to investigate the matter last year. It released its ﬁndings last week, determining that under Starr’s leadership, Baylor did little to respond to accusations of sexual assault involving football players over several years. School regents came under ﬁre for allowing Starr to stay on in the prominent role of chancellor for external fundraising. Starr told ESPN that he resigned the position Wednesday morning, effec- tively immediately, “with sorrow” and “as a matter of conscience.” “We need to heal Baylor. … We need to put this horrible situation behind us,” Starr said. Baylor ofﬁcials did not immediately respond to requests for comment. The scandal has resulted in major upheaval at the nation’s largest Baptist university, which emerged from years of athletic doldrums to become one of the top football programs in the Big 12 and nationally. The same day Baylor released its report, the regents ﬁred head coach Art Briles and sanctioned athletic director Ian McCaw, who resigned on Monday, the same day the school hired Jim Grobe to coach the 2016 season. Challenge: How to slow, not stop, Curry INDEPENDENCE (AP) — LeBron James has already felt the stinging spray from the Splash Brothers in the NBA Finals. When league MVP Stephen Curry and triggerhappy Golden State teammate Klay Thompson are knocking down 3-pointers from 30 feet, swishing contested jumpers over taller players and destroying defenses designed to stop them, the only option is pray they miss. “Some of those shots,” James said. “There’s nothing you can do about it.” As the Cavaliers, considerably healthier than they were a year ago, prepare to take on the 73-win Warriors in the ﬁnals again, they know their chances of ending Cleveland’s 52-year championship drought hinge on how well they defend Curry, Thompson & Co. Stopping the Warriors is impossible. Slowing them isn’t. “They shoot the ball extremely well,” James said before the team left for California and Game 1 on Thursday. “Klay and Steph are probably the two greatest shooters that we’ve probably ever seen. Better offense beats great defense any day. So we have to be able to do other things to stop them, but it’s hard to contain them. “We all know that. The whole league knows that. Our team knows that. But we have a game plan and we have to follow it and be true to it.” OHSAA too much depth and balance. 1965: Celtics 4, Lakers 1. Boston left little doubt, winning Game 1 by 32 points and Game 5 by 33 points. Jerry West averaged 33.8 points in vain for the Lakers; Sam Jones averaged 27.8 points for Boston. 1966: Celtics 4, Lakers 3. Up 3-1 at one point, the Celtics were forced to a Game 7 in Red Auerbach’s ﬁnal season. Boston escaped with a twopoint win for its eighth straight title. 1968: Celtics 4, Lakers 2. Boston blew a big lead in Game 5 at home but won in overtime, then closed it out on the road in Game 6 behind 40 points from John Havlicek.

Meigs football helmet fitting ROCKSPRINGS, Ohio — Meigs will be having a helmet ﬁtting for both middle school and high school football programs on Wednesday, June 1, at Farmers Bank Stadium. The middle school teams will be ﬁtted at 4 p.m., followed by the high school teams at 4:30 p.m. After the helmet ﬁttings have concluded, there will be a team combine for all from 5:30 p.m. until 7:30 p.m. Gallipolis Lions golf scramble Ben Margot | AP file Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry, left, and Cleveland Cavaliers forward LeBron James will lead their teams into the NBA Final beginning Thursday in California. The Cavaliers’ chances to end Cleveland’s 52-year championship drought will depend largely on how well they can defend three-point shooting by Curry and Golden State teammate Klay Thompson. “Klay and Steph are probably the two greatest shooters that we’ve probably ever seen,” James said. Although they won’t admit it publicly, the Cavs have been eyeing a rematch with the Warriors since losing to them in six games last year. James back then was virtually on his own after Kevin Love separated his left shoulder in the ﬁrst round and Kyrie Irving shattered his left kneecap in Game 1 of the ﬁnals. James did everything possible, averaging 35.8 points, 13.3 rebounds and 8.8 assists — an unprecedented ﬁnals stat line — but it wasn’t enough. The Warriors had too much ball movement, athleticism and depth. While fans, the league ofﬁce and TV executives clamored for a Curry- James rematch, the Cavs claim they were ready for any opponent. “It didn’t matter,” said James, appearing in his sixth straight ﬁnals. “Like Coach (Tyronn) Lue said, we’re just waiting on the winner. We’re fortunate to be here and we look forward to the challenge. It’s an unbelievable team that we’re going against. Hats off.” This time around, the Cavs have comparable talent. That won’t matter, though, if they don’t defend. Curry appears back to normal after dealing with a knee injury earlier in the postseason, and Thompson made a postseasonrecord 11 3s and scored 41 p.m. — the exact same time that Hayes competes in the shot put for the ﬁrst time. From Page 6 Hayes, whose 37-foot throw landed her regional runner-up Pullins — who will follow Man- honors, is the ﬁnal of eight ﬁrstgus in the jumping order in fourth ﬂight throwers — and eighth of — cleared ﬁve-feet three inches at 16 overall. the regional to place third. She will ﬁrst throw the discus She is one of three junior jump- for the second consecutive season ers at 5-foot-3, while three others at 1 p.m., having won the district are at 5-foot-4 — with one apiece championship but ﬁnishing fourth at 5-5 and 5-6. in the regional in 121-feet and Pullins will jump on Friday at 4 nine inches. in Game 6 of the Western Conference ﬁnals. The Warriors erased a 3-1 deﬁcit to end Oklahoma City’s season and set up Golden State vs. Cleveland, the sequel. Irving will likely be matched up with Curry. But it won’t fall solely on him to check the game’s purest shooter. J.R. Smith has been Cleveland’s best defender all season, and at 6-foot-6, his size could give Curry (generously listed as 6-3) some trouble. Matthew Dellavedova tenaciously hounded Curry in last year’s ﬁnals until he exhausted himself and wound up hospitalized. James, too, will guard Curry in certain situations. Hayes hopes to improve upon her performance from last season — when she fouled on all three of her preliminary throws. She is the third-from-ﬁnal thrower in the second of two ﬂights, and the 14th of 16 overall.
