State Superintendent of Public Instruction Paolo DeMaria announced that 94 schools across Ohio will receive the coveted Purple Star Award this school year. The Purple Star designation recognizes schools that demonstrate a major commitment to serving students and families connected to the United States armed forces. Southern Elementary and Jr. High/High School were recognized last year. “Ohio’s military members and their families embody the ideals of service, sacrifice, and community. But they can’t do their jobs alone. The Purple Star Schools awarded today recognize the sacrifices military members and their loved ones make. These school communities have made a commitment to support them inside and outside the classroom,” said Ohio Governor Mike DeWine. “Purple Star Schools are shining examples of Ohioans working together, encouraging one another, caring for one another and, ultimately, creating a brighter future for our state.” “We are grateful for the individuals who serve in our nation’s armed forces, and we recognize the unique challenges students of military families face during their learning journeys. Our school communities are in a unique position to offer essential supports to ensure these students are prepared for success and their families are cared for and appreciated,” said DeMaria. “Today we recognize the schools showcasing these supports and inspiring all of us by their commitment to our military families.” Approximately 35,000 Ohio students, including the children of active duty, reserve and Ohio National Guard families, have one or more parents serving in the military. Some of these students will attend six to nine different schools from kindergarten through high school. Among the requirements a school must meet to receive the Purple Star Award are designating a liaison between militaryconnected students and their families and the school, and making certain the liaison informs teachers of the militaryconnected students in their classrooms and the special considerations military families and students should receive. The Purple Star Advisory Board — formed by the Ohio departments of Education, Higher Education, Veterans Services and Adjutant General — helps determine school eligibility. Pomeroy Council holds first meeting of 2020 By Lorna Hart Special to the Sentinel POMEROY — Beginning of the year administration was the primary focus when Pomeroy Village Council met recently. Council announced the Jan. 20 regularly scheduled meeting has been cancelled in honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Council will meet on the next scheduled date of Feb. 3 at 7 p.m. Nick Michael was elected Council President and Robert’s Rules were adopted for the year. There was discussion of placing a police levy on the fall ballot but no action was taken. The levy is expected to be the same 3 mill levy that failed to pass when offered to voters last fall. Two resolutions were passed. Resolution 39-20, Water Pollution Control Loan Fund, allows Council to apply to purchase a backup generator for the Fourth Street sewer station.The WPCLF provides financial and technical assistance on a wide variety of projects, and if awarded, the amount would cover 100 percent of the cost of the generator. Resolution 38-20, Appropriations, was passed giving the village permanent appropriations for the year. The Village of Pomeroy insures all village vehicles under the Ohio Plan for municipal insurance. Kinder Insurance has been the provider for several years, and informed the village rates have decreased by one percent despite the fact the village added more equipment to the 2020 policy. A motion was approved to proceed with the sale of three police vehicles that include a Humvee and two Crown Victorias. The vehicles will be advertised and offered for sealed bid in the near future. Council went into executive session to discuss employee compensation. At the conclusion of the session it was announced no action was taken. Pomeroy Village Council meets the first and third Monday of each month at 7 p.m. with exceptions of holidays. The next regularly scheduled meeting is Feb. 3 at 7 p.m. Lorna Hart is a freelance writer for The Daily Sentinel. INDEX Obituary: 2 Opinion: 4 News: 5 Sports: 6 TV: 7 Classifieds: 8 Comics: 9 Weather: 10 Sarah Hawley | Sentinel Representatives from Trinity Congregational Church recently sorted coats which will be delivered to area children. Pictured (from left to right) are John Seelhorst, Marylin Seelhorst, Randy Smith, Linda Warner, BJ (Smith) Kreseen, Carol Adams, and Floyd Chapman, all of Trinity Congregational Church Operation Warm brings coats to kids By Sarah Hawley shawley@aimmediamidwest.com MEIGS COUNTY — Through the collaborative effort of many individuals and agencies, children in Meigs County will have new coats this winter. The coats were provided by Operation Warm, through grant funding secured by Governor Mike DeWine’s Office of Faith Based and Community Services. Commissioner Randy Smith and Trinity Congregational Church, where Smith is the pastor, worked with the Office of Faith Based and Community Services to bring the coats to children in Meigs County. Faith partners, non-profits, civic groups, and others were able to apply for winter coats for youth in need. Partnering with Trinity Congregational Church allowed for one application to serve school age children in the whole county. Smith worked with county schools to identify the students who were in need and the schools will distribute the coats once delivered. The group received nearly 500 coats for area children. “This was an amazing opportunity and I knew my congregation at Trinity would jump at the chance to help” said Smith. “As a bigger pic- ture this isn’t just about keeping students warm. I see it as helping to improve self-confidence, peer acceptance, school attendance, and the overall wellness of our students. Every child, regardless of economic circumstance, deserves their own brand-new coat,” Smith continued. “We all know how cold the weather can get here in this part of the state and the reality is that winter coats are expensive and not everyone has the means to provide coats for their kids,” said Smith. According to it’s website, Operation Warm provides warmth, confidence, and hope to children in need through the gift of brand new winter coats. A brand new coat offers a child physical and emotional warmth, the confidence to socialize and succeed, and hope of a brighter future. Operation Warm is a national organization that began in 1998 when founder, Dick Sanford, purchased 58 coats for local kids in eastern Pennsylvania. Since then, we have expanded to cover all of North America and have provided a gift of warmth to over 3 million children. Last year, the organization served 405,000 children across the US and Canada.

Staff Report COLUMBUS, Ohio – Fourteen rural Ohio school districts and their corresponding counties and townships will share more than $1.5 million from the sale of timber from Ohio’s state forests, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) Division of Forestry. “Investing in education is essential for our state,” said Gov. Mike DeWine. “Trees to Textbooks not only supports sound forest management, but helps our schools prepare Ohio students for the future.” Through the ODNR Division of Forestry’s Trees to Textbooks program, a percentage of the revenue generated from state forest management activity goes to the county, township and school district in which the activity took place. In Meigs County, Eastern Local Schools received $3,379.12, with Meigs County and Olive Township each receiving $1,689.56. “The future of conservation depends on education,” said ODNR Director Mary Mertz. “ODNR is proud to support Ohio’s schools and their students.” The ODNR Division of Forestry began distributing timber revenues to counties and townships in the early 1980s. Since the Trees to Textbooks program started in 1999, more than $32 million has been shared with Ohio school districts and local governments.

Daily Sentinel Martin Luther King Jr. Day: Faith, politics mix ATLANTA (AP) — Against the backdrop of a presidential election year, Monday’s Martin Luther King Jr. holiday found leaders still wrestling over how to best embody the slain civil rights leader. Republicans told a sometimes cool crowd at Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta that they were honoring King’s civil rights legacy of service and political empowerment. But Democrats found more favor by highlighting the ways they said the current political and social order calls for more radical action in line with King’s principles. Monday’s speeches at King’s onetime church were just one slice of the political struggle in Georgia, where Democrats believe they can make further inroads in the Republican controlled state, aided by diverse in-migration and a suburban backlash against President Donald Trump. Up for re-election this year, Trump sought to stamp his own mark on the commemoration. H e and Vice President Mike Pence made a brief visit to the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial in Washington. Earlier in the day, Trump sent a tweet noting that it was the third anniversary of his inauguration: “So appropriate that today is also MLK jr DAY. African-American Unemployment is the LOWEST in the history of our Country, by far. Also, best Poverty, Youth, and Employment numbers, ever. Great!” Black unemployment has reached a record low during the Trump administration, but many economists note economic growth since 2009 has driven hiring. The most dramatic drop in black unemployment came under President Barack Obama. Despite economic success, polls find most African American voters regard Trump with distaste. In Atlanta, Republican U.S. Sen. Kelly Loeffler, appointed earlier this month by Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp, said her upbringing on an Illinois farm was touched by King. “Dr. King’s call to service, to sacrifice, to put others first, it shaped our home and inspired us to ask what Dr. King asked the world. ‘What are you doing for others?’” Loeffler said. One of Loeffler’s Democratic opponents in a November special election could be the Rev. Raphael Warnock, the current pastor at Ebenezer, which King and his father once led. Warnock, without mentioning Loeffler by name, said that honoring King means more than just voicing “lip service” on one weekend a year. “Everyone wants to be seen standing where Dr. King stood. That’s fine, you’re welcome,” said Warnock, who could soon announce a Senate run. “But if today you would stand in this holy place, where Dr. King stood, make sure, that come tomorrow, we’ll find you standing where Dr. King stood.” Of King, Warnock said that “too many people like to remember him and dismember him at the same time” calling Georgia “ground zero for voter suppression” and citing the failure of the state’s Republican leadership to fully expand the Medicaid health insurance program. Others agreed with him, with keynote speaker Rev. HowardJohn Wesley of Alexandria, Virginia, telling attendees that “we have lost the radicality” of King’s vision, talking about how King attacked the Vietnam War and the unequal American economy at the end of his career. Loeffler made no mention of Trump or the Senate impeachment trial, but Democratic U.S. Rep Hank Johnson did, drawing applause when he mentioned impeachment and saying American democracy is “in grave danger.” “Our communities are once again finding themselves on the front lines of fighting to protect our very republic,” Johnson said. “And it can be easy, brothers and sisters, in moments like these to despair. But even in our darkest hours, the legacy of Dr. King is a hope that dawn will come.” Georgia’s Republican Secretary of State, Brad Raffensperger gamely took the stage, seeking to build confidence that his office supports broad voter participation and that the state’s new voting machines will guarantee a fair vote. Democrats led by former gubernatorial nominee Stacey Abrams have attacked his actions. “Every voter gets one vote. We all have a voice. We all count,” Raffensperger said. King’s daughter Bernice spoke about the King holiday becoming a day of service, “a day on, not a day off.” She said the holiday needs a broader vision. “A day on is not enough. What we need is a light on, committed to working vigilantly to build the beloved community,” she said. “A light on encompasses a commitment not just to service but to systemic change as well.” The same kind of wrestling over what King means in the present moment was taking place elsewhere, with Pence speaking Sunday at a church service in Memphis, Tennessee. Pence spoke at the Holy City Church of God in Christ about King’s religion and how he “challenged the conscience of a nation to live up to our highest ideals by speaking to our common foundation of faith.” Acknowledging the nation’s divisions, Pence said that if Americans rededicate themselves to the ideals that King advanced while striving to open opportunities for everyone, “we’ll see our way through these divided times and we’ll do our part in our time to form a more perfect union.” As a presidential election looms this fall, divisions rankle, according to recent opinion polls. �Daily Sentinel Tuesday, January 21, 2020 3 Pleasant Valley Hospital :u � BK P�6BOSF@BP �B :BI@u Kylie Scott, WHNP-BC Women’s Health Nurse Practitioner 3IB>P�Q� 9 ��BV�+LPMi�g��:u � BK P�6BOSF@BP dedicated to empowering women of all ages to achieve exceptional health 3OHDVDQW� 9DOOH\� +RVSLWDO� LV� SOHDVHG� WR� ZHOFRPH� ERDUG�FHUWL²�HG� ZRPHQ¬V� KHDOWK�QXUVH�SUDFWLWLRQHU�.\OLH�6FRWW��:+13�%&��WR�39+�:RPHQ¬V�6HUYLFHV�� 6KH�SURYLGHV�URXWLQH�SK\VLFDOV�DQG�ZHOO�ZRPHQ�H[DPV��KHDOWK�DQG�ZHOOQHVV� counseling, pregnancy testing and initial care, as well as care before and afWHU�PHQRSDXVH�� Kylie is now treating women of all ages at Pleasant Valley +RVSLWDO�:RPHQ¬V�6HUYLFHV�ZLWK�)UL�0RIRU�(WD��0'��)$&2*�� 2%�*<1��+HU�RI²�FH�LV�LQ�6XLWH�*���RQ�WKH�JURXQG�³�RRU�RI�WKH� PHGLFDO�RI²�FH�EXLOGLQJ��� Fri Mofor-Eta, MD, FACOG Obstetrician & Gynecologist 39+�:RPHQ¬V�6HUYLFHV 7OB‡�JBo�P�,K@IRAB t�Health and wellness counseling t�Contraceptive care t�STI/STD screening and follow up t�Pregnancy testing and initial care t�Evaluation and treatment of common infections t�Care before and after menopause t�Well woman exams t�Diagnostic testing, treatment and referrals For more information or to schedule an appointment with Kylie Scott, WHNP-BC, please call Pleasant Valley Hospital Women’s Services.

College football is OK, and I will watch it with some interest, but I am an NFL freak. I started out being just a fan of the Cincinnati Bengals back when they met the 49ers in the Super Bowl XVI back in 1981. After the 49ers handed Cincinnati their butts again in 1989 in Super Bowl XXIII, I had to broaden my interests if I was going to continue to follow football. It’s been Herb a long, dry spell. Day Over this past weekend I witContributing nessed painful groans, condemnation columnist of frigid weather conditions, knees being slathered in liniment to ease the pain, whimpering cries for “mommy,” limping, hopping on one foot and waiting for wheeled conveyances designed to carry grown, mature folks around, and not one of them was from a football game. They were all me. If you’ve read my columns long, you’ve heard me talk about the aging process, and how I am the only one in the world who feels that the golden years should be more, well, golden. However, I am continually amazed at how something that I didn’t even realize I had could hurt. While driving last week with my darling “childbride” (see, I may be getting old, but I can still schmooze!) I discovered this terrible stabbing pain on the back of my hand. Being the “John Wayne” type, I cried out as if I had been shot through the thigh with an arrow! (I can only imagine how that must feel. I don’t want to experience it you understand) I am glad the windows were rolled up because I am certain my whimpering would have awakened sleeping children for blocks around. Startled beyond imagination my bride, thinking I was having a heart-attack or some major life event, inquired what my problem was with great emotional exuberance. Because the pain vanished as quickly as it came, I answered, “Nothing, why do you ask?” That was when I pulled the car to the side of the road while I listened ever so closely to her displeasure regarding my outburst. You might say we were having some intense communication, and all of it one-way. But I digress. When it looked as though I might survive this chapter in “sharing,” for some strange reason I felt compelled to turn to Google and find out what the life expectancy of the “male” in ancient Rome was. That was a bit strange for a few reasons. First, I am not from Rome. Second, I have never been to Rome. Third, I know no one who is from Rome. Fourth, I am quite confident that the pain in the back of my hand was not life threatening (but you never know. I’ve heard stories). My Google search uncovered that a male might live to be as much as 35 years of age in ancient Rome. Perhaps less if he were a politician or a local radio personality in Nero’s court. I felt pretty good about all that. I recall back when I was quite young, listening to the “old guys” around talking about their aches and pains and thinking, “what wimps they are!” “Nothing can be that bad!” OK, I was wrong. I used to have an assortment of great smelling colognes and very cool after shave decanters on my dresser. Now it’s loaded down with prescriptions as well as over-the-counter medications that either make you go, make you stop, clean your arteries, slow your heart, make your heart keep ticking, lower your blood sugar, raise your blood sugar, replace what you lost, replace what you replaced, mask aches and pains, make hair grow, make hair stop growing where it’s not supposed to or give your coat that Alpo Glow! I no longer permit full-length mirrors in my home, and the smaller 8 X 10 mirrors are being threatened. When I was young and living wild and free, I never dreamed what it would be like to grow older. But now that I’m here — yay me. Could you please hand me the BenGay? Herb Day is a longtime local radio personality and singer-musician.

THEIR VIEW Just give me a sharp stick There is a nice-sized room on the ground floor of our house that was intended to be the family dining room. I have always used it as an office. When I worked at the hospital, there were days that I’d get busy with hands-on patient care and I would need to wait until I got home to do routine paperwork; staffing schedules, volume statistics, financial and monthly reports. I didn’t enjoy working at home, but at least I was home. After I retired, I used my home office when I was the city safety director, county EMS coordinator, county commissioner, mayor and president of council. It is a very comfortable little home office. One wall is solid with bookshelves. The other walls are loaded with family pictures. There is even a small wine/beer refrigerator in the corner. I can sit at the desk and read. I can swivel my chair around and work on my personal computer. My printer is sitting there ready to document anything I need. On a really pretty day, I can just stare out the window at our Dogwood tree and enjoy a cold beverage. When everything is working well, I love my little office… when everything is working well.

I loved them, even when I tried to type fast and got several keys stuck right in front of the paper, I still loved them. We each took turns using the new IBM Selectric typewriter. I didn’t like it. Now, whether it’s a small homeoffice or huge office complex, work stops when the printer breaks. Finally, after two days of frustration, I got the computer and printer united again. It worked. Admittedly, I’m an old guy who was born without the I.T. gene. I will continue to struggle to keep up with technology. Thank goodness for my kids and grandkids. With their help, Pappy will get through his I.T. struggles without resorting to soft clay and sharp sticks. Randy Riley is former Mayor of Wilmington, Ohio and former Clinton County Commissioner.

In 1908, New York City’s Board of Aldermen passed an ordinance prohibiting women from smoking in public establishments (the measure was vetoed by Mayor George B. McClellan Jr., but not before one woman, Katie Mulcahey, was jailed overnight for refusing to pay a fine). In 1924, Russian revolutionary Vladimir Lenin died at age 53. In 1950, former State Department official Alger Hiss, accused of being part of a Communist spy ring, was found guilty in New York of lying to a grand jury. (Hiss, who proclaimed his innocence, served less than four years in prison.) In 1954, the first atomic submarine, the USS Nautilus, was launched at Groton (GRAH’-tuhn), Connecticut (however, the Nautilus did not make its first nuclear-powered run until nearly a year later). In 1976, British Airways and Air France inaugurated scheduled passenger service on the supersonic Concorde jet. In 1977, on his first full day in office, President Jimmy Carter pardoned almost all Vietnam War draft evaders.

(AP) — Tens of thousands of gun-rights activists from around the country rallied peacefully at the Virginia Capitol on Monday to protest plans by the state’s Democratic leadership to pass guncontrol legislation — a move that has become a key flash point in the national debate over gun violence The size of the crowd and the expected participation of white supremacists and fringe militia groups raised fears that the state could see a repeat of the violence that exploded in 2017 in Charlottesville. But the rally concluded uneventfully around noon, and the mood was largely festive, with rally-goers chanting “USA!” and waving signs denouncing Democratic Gov. Ralph Northam. Many protesters chose not to enter the designated rally zone, where Northam had imposed a temporary weapons ban, and instead packed surrounding streets, many dressed in tactical gear and camouflage and carrying military-style rifles as they cheered on the speakers. “I love this. This is like the Super Bowl for Julio Cortez | AP A demonstrator stands outside a court building during a pro-gun rally Monday in Richmond, Va. Thousands of pro-gun supporters are expected at the rally to oppose gun control legislation like universal background checks that are being pushed by the newly elected Democratic legislature. the Second Amendment right here,” said P.J. Hudson, a truck driver from Richmond who carried an AR-15 rifle just outside Capitol Square. He was one of the few African-American rallygoers in a crowd that was overwhelmingly white and male, and was frequently stopped and asked to pose for pictures wearing his “Black Guns Matter” sweatshirt. An estimated 22,000 people attended, according to authorities, who said one woman was arrested on felony charge of wearing a mask in public. The protesters came out despite the frigid temperature to send a message to legislators, they said. “The government doesn’t run us, we run the government,” said Kem Regik, a 20-year-old private security officer from northern Virginia who brought a white flag with a picture of a rifle captioned, “Come and take it.” Northam was a particular focus of the protesters’ wrath. One poster showed his face superimposed on Adolf Hitler’s body. But Democratic lawmakers — including House Speaker Eileen Filler-Corn and Senate Majority Leader Dick Saslaw — told AP the rally wouldn’t impact their plans to pass gun-control measures, including universal background checks and a one-handgun-purchase-amonth limit. Democrats say tightening Virginia’s gun laws will make communities safer and help prevent mass shootings like the one last year in Virginia Beach, where a dozen people were killed in a municipal building. �Sports 6 Tuesday, January 21, 2020 Daily Sentinel Lady Falcons hold off Southern, 52-47 By Alex Hawley of free throws to open the second quarter, but the Lady Tornadoes (3-12, 1-10 TVC HockRACINE, Ohio — The Lady ing) took a 20-18 lead with 10 Falcons simply had the answers straight points by sophomore Kayla Evans. when they needed them most.

The Eastern girls basketball team claimed a 36-35 victory over Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division host South Gallia on Saturday in Gallia County, with EHS freshman Erica Durst sinking the game-winning foul shot with no time left on the clock. A tightly-contested opening quarter left Eastern (6-9, 4-7 TVC Hocking) with a 13-to-11 lead over the Lady Rebels (7-10, 2-9) eight minutes into play. The defenses took over in the second quarter, with SGHS tying the game at 15 headed into halftime. South Gallia was ahead 26-23 after an 11-to8 third period, but Eastern outscored its host 13-to-9 over the final eight minutes. In the 36-35 win, the Lady Eagles committed 22 turnovers, one fewer than the Lady Rebels. Eastern made 15-of-47 (31.9 percent) field goal attempts, including 4-of-10 (40 percent) threepoint tries, while the Red and Gold were 13-of-35 (37.1 percent) from the field, and 3-of-7 (42.9 percent) from deep. EHS was 2-for-4 (50 percent) at the foul line, where SGHS came up empty in nine tries. Erica Durst finished with a game-high 13 points, nine of which came in the final stanza. Jennifer Parker scored six points on a team-best two threepointers, Kennadi Rockhold added five points, while Sydney Reynolds came up with four for the victors. Olivia Barber and Juli Durst both tallied three points in the win, while Jaymie Basham chipped in with two. Kiley Stapleton led the Lady Rebel cause with 10 points, six of which came from long range. Amaya Howell was next with nine points, followed by Jessie Rutt and Makayla Waugh with six each. Ryleigh Halley rounded out the SGHS tally with four points. This gives the Lady Eagles the season sweep of South Gallia, as EHS won 59-42 on Dec. 9 in Meigs County. After the Green and White host Meigs on Monday, both teams will resume league play on Thursday, with Trimble at South Gallia, and Waterford at Eastern.

Blue Devils rally past Raiders By Bryan Walters bwalters@aimmediamidwest.com BIDWELL, Ohio — The thrill of victory … and the agony of defeat. The River Valley boys basketball team led more than 30 minutes of regulation, but a Logan Blouir layup with eight seconds left ultimately allowed visiting Gallia Academy to sneak away Saturday night with a thrilling 49-47 victory in a nonconference matchup between Gallia County programs. The host Raiders (4-10) stormed out to a double-digit lead in the after the first period and completed a wire-to-wire half by taking a 23-15 advantage into the break, but the Blue Devils (6-8) answered with a 15-6 surge that resulted in their first lead of the game at 30-29 with 1:35 left in the third quarter. The Silver and Black, however, answered on their next possession with a pair of Mason Rhodes free throws — sparking a 4-0 run that allowed the hosts to secure a 33-30 edge entering the finale. The Raiders took their largest lead of the fourth quarter on a basket from Brandon Call with 4:11 remaining, capping a 12-7 run that resulted in a 45-37 cushion. And then, it all started to fall apart. Damon Cremeens con- River Valley senior Brandon Call, top left, hauls in a rebound over Gallia Academy defenders Devin Lee (3) and Isaac Clary during the second half of Saturday night’s boys basketball contest in Bidwell, Ohio. verted a putback and a pair of free throws over the next minute, allowing the Blue and White to close to within four points with 3:22 left. Justin Wilcoxon then stole the ball away from a River Valley player at midcourt on its next possession, and Wilcoxon dribbled down for a layup attempt. RVHS defender Cole Young followed Lee down the floor and attempted to block the shot attempt, but Young was whistled for a foul on the otherwise successful block. Almost instantaneously afterward, River Valley was whistled for a technical foul for disputing the call — giving GAHS a quartet of upcoming free throws with 2:52 left in regulation. Wilcoxon converted the second of two attempts, then Blouir converted the first of two tries while trimming the deficit down to 45-43 — with possession also going to the guests because of the technical foul. Blouir converted a basket 39 seconds later, tying the game up at 45-all with 2:13 left to go. Rhodes gave the Raiders their final lead of the game with a pair of free throws at the 1:57 mark, but Blouir answered with a pair of free throws 19 seconds later — again tying the game up at 47-all. The Blue Devils gained possession with roughly a minute left in regulation and whittled the clock down to around 20 seconds before starting up their winning play. Coming from the top of the key, Blouir made a back-door cut and received a pass from the right wing in stride. Blouir made a dribble and went straight in on the right side of the rim, converting the eventual game-winning layup. River Valley called a timeout with 7.2 seconds remaining, then went three-quarters the length of the floor before calling another timeout with two ticks showing on the clock.

The Wahama boys basketball team came out on the wrong end of a 85-38 decision at ‘The Pit’ on Saturday, with Ravenswood exceeding its previous season-high in points by 16. The White Falcons (0-12) tallied a dozen points on five field goals in the opening quarter, but Ravenswood (6-5) led 27-12 after hitting five triples in the period. A closely-contested second quarter had the hosts add two points to their lead, outscoring WHS 16-to-14 for a 43-26 halftime advantage. The Red Devils started the second half with a 26-to-6 run, stretching the margin to 69-32 headed into the finale. Ravenswood closed the 85-38 victory with a 16-to-6 spurt in the finale. The White Falcons — who were 5-of-9 (55.6 percent) from the free throw line — hit a dozen two-pointers, as well as three triples. Leading the Red and White, Abram Pauley, Michael VanMatre and Harrison Panko-Shields scored eight points apiece. Ethyn Barnitz was next with five points, followed by Ethan Gray with four, Brayden Davenport with three and Brennan Grate with two. RHS — which made 17-of-19 (89.5 percent) foul shots — had 12 of its 28 field goals come from threepoint range, and wound up five scorers in double digits. Trey Mandrake led the way with 18 points, followed by Matthew Carte with 15. Jaxon Harris and Devin Raines 14 each came up with 14 markers, Jacob Creel added 13, Colton Goodwin scored seven points, while Cameron Taylor and Blake Ball both had two. Wahama will return to action in the Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division on Tuesday at South Gallia. Alex Hawley can be reached at 740-446-2342, ext. 2100. Daily Sentinel Niners, Chiefs in Super Bowl By Eddie Pells guy at that position, it’s really good for your franchise,” Niners GM John Lynch said, not long after the trade. Though Garoppolo’s 102 passer rating this season was only 3.3 points less than Mahomes’, San Francisco doesn’t depend on its franchise QB the way Kansas City does. Exhibit A: Garoppolo threw only eight passes and totaled only 77 yards in San Francisco’s 37-20 win over Green Bay in the NFC title game Sunday. He is helped by a bruising running game recently anchored by Raheem Mostert (220 yards and four TDs on Sunday). And the Niners have found a game-wrecking defensive end in rookie Nick Bosa. The second pick in the 2019 draft had a sack Sunday to go with the nine he recorded over the regular season to fuel a defense that gave up the fewest passing yards this season. It all helped the 49ers return to the Super Bowl for the first time since Colin Kaepernick took them in 2013. The departure of coach Jim Harbaugh and Kaepernick’s kneeling saga ushered in a period of instability. It included a carousel of four head coaches in four years that finally settled when Kyle Shanahan — the son of two-time Super Bowl winning coach Mike Shanahan — got the job in 2017 and soon was joined by has even led the Chiefs in rushing the last two weeks.

But when it comes to Super Bowl droughts — outside of the Jets and a handful of teams who have never been, nobody has waited longer to get to the title game than the Chiefs. The team that lost to Green Bay in the very first Super Bowl, returned three years after that, in 1970, to win its first NFL championship. The Chiefs had their ups and downs in the decades since. The stat that stuck out the most was their 3-8 home playoff record since that victory over the Vikings in 1970 that marked the last game before the NFL and its old rival, the AFL, officially merged and began playing as a single league the next season. Now, in a season filled with celebrations for the 100th anniversary of the NFL, the Chiefs are back, coached by Reid, whose 14 postseason wins compiled over 20 seasons do not include a ‘W’ in the biggest game of all. Could the quarterback he took a chance on — a nimble-footed, strong-armed, next-generation talent — be the one to finally put him over the top? Garoppolo, to say nothing of San Francisco’s running game and its top-ranked pass defense, will have plenty to say about that two weeks from now.
