This mural, which originally came from a postcard circa 1919, shows Middleport reaching the ‘Roaring Twenties’ as the juxtaposition of a horse a few feet away from a car can be seen. According to Middleport Mayor Michael Gerlach, the murals are decided upon and sponsored by the Middleport Development Group, and is currently one of five murals created that can be hung in this spot. This old Middleport photo shows the YMCA building, along with another building that was for sale at the time. Gerlach said that one of the buildings featured in the image has since burned down, and the street appears to be a dirt street before a street of bricks was put in place. The murals, once taken down, are put in storage and are reusable in showing current Middleport residents what life was like nearly 100 years ago on the same strip. Rayz Tanning makes home in Racine GALLIPOLIS — A Bidwell woman plead not guilty to three charges of animal cruelty as of Dec. 18 in Gallipolis Municipal Court. According to Gallipolis police records, Michelle Queen, 21, was charged with three separate counts of animal cruelty. The animals in question were supposedly recovered by the Gallia County dog warden and allegedly found with no access to food or water in their restrained areas. The warden retrieved two animals from a property on Jesse Creek Road in the Bidwell area after receiving calls from a man in regards to having allegedly seen a starved animal in early October. One animal was allegedly discovered dead after being excavated from a shallow grave. Animal cruelty violations are often considered second-degree misdemeanors in Ohio. “The property owner called and said he was at the (location in question) on Sept. 30,” Laurie Cardillo, Gallia County dog warden, told the Tribune earlier. “There was a pit bull (allegedly) down over the hill on a chain that couldn’t get back up the hill. It was so weak it couldn’t get back up the hill.” The property owner asked the warden to look into the situation as he believed the animal he claimed to witness would not live much longer. According to the By Lindsay Kriz See CASE | 4A lkriz@civitasmedia.com RACINE — Regina and Michael Hill saw a desire in the Racine area for a new tanning salon for local patrons. “People that live around here, they kept asking, ‘Regina, why don’t you open a tanning shop?’” she said. So they did. Rayz Tanning ofﬁcially opened last February, and Regina calls the business a success. The couple also own the plaza where Rayz Tanning is located, as well as Hill’s Gas Station down the road. Regina said that the time between her decision to open the salon and its ofﬁcial opening was only about three to four months. There are seven beds in the facility: beds 1-4 are 20-minute beds that cost $7 a session, ﬁve sessions for $30 or 10 sessions for $50; beds 5 and 7 are 12-minute beds costing $9 a session, ﬁve sessions for $40 or 10 sessions for $65; and bed six is a 10-minute bed costing $10 a session, four sessions Commissioners move their next meeting By Lindsay Kriz lkriz@civitasmedia.com Lindsay Kriz | Daily Sentinel Rayz Tanning will have their one-year anniversary in February.

POMEROY — December is one of the most dangerous times of the year for alcoholand drug-related accidents and deaths, according to the Meigs County Community Prevention Coalition, who wants to remind the community that December is National Drunk and Drugged Driving Prevention Month.

Church service discontinued dog warden and assistant warden, the pair traveled to the property on Jesse Creek Road and encountered Queen. After allegedly showing a picture to Queen, who Cardillo said identiﬁed the animal as one of her own, the warden asked where the dog was. Queen allegedly replied that the dog had died that morning and was buried in the backyard. According to the warden, a boxer and pit bull were also seen on the property and in reportedly poor health. Queen signed over the other animals to shelter care. Shelter workers returned to excavate the corpse of the dead dog after securing permission from the property owner to do so. “(The assistant dog warden) hit the dirt with a shovel on time and hit the dog corpse,” Cardillo said. “She actually uncovered the dog with her hands.” Workers said the burial spot was shallow. The warden contacted a local veterinarian to request an autopsy be done on the animal’s body. The corpse, Cardillo said, looked emaciated upon its removal from the ground. The pair of dogs removed from the property have since died. One was unable to recover from its poor health and the other was euthanized, Cardillo said.

The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, in hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there. The children were nestled all snug in their beds, while visions of sugar plums danced in their heads. And Mama in her ‘kerchief, and I in my cap, had just settled our brains for a long winter’s nap. When out on the roof there arose such a clatter, I sprang from my bed to see what was the matter. Away to the window I ﬂew like a ﬂash, tore open the shutter, and threw up the sash. The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow gave the lustre of midday to objects below, when, what to my wondering eyes should appear, but a miniature sleigh and eight tiny reindeer. With a little old driver, so lively and quick, I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick. More rapid than eagles, his coursers they came, and he whistled and shouted and called them by name: “Now Dasher! Now Dancer! Now, Prancer and Vixen! On, Comet! On, Cupid! On, Donner and Blitzen! To the top of the porch! To the top of the wall! Now dash away! Dash away! Dash away all!” As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane ﬂy, when they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky so up to the house-top the coursers they ﬂew, with the sleigh full of toys, and St. Nicholas too. And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof the prancing and pawing of each little hoof. As I drew in my head and was turning around, down the chimney St. Nicholas came with a bound. He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot, and his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot. A bundle of toys he had ﬂung on his back, and he looked like a peddler just opening his pack. His eyes — how they twinkled! His dimples, how merry! His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry! His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow, and the beard on his chin was as white as the snow. The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth, and the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath. He had a broad face and a little round belly, that shook when he laughed, like a bowl full of jelly. He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf, and I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself. A wink of his eye and a twist of his head soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread. He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work, and ﬁlled all the stockings, then turned with a jerk. And laying his ﬁnger aside of his nose, and giving a nod, up the chimney he rose. He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle, and away they all ﬂew like the down of a thistle. But I heard him exclaim, ‘ere he drove out of sight, “Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night!” Clement Clarke Moore’s famous poem, which he named “A Visit From St. Nicholas,” was published for the first time on Dec. 23, 1823, by a New York newspaper. Since then, the poem has been reprinted, translated into innumerable languages and circulated throughout the world. THEIR VIEW Investigation probes theater chains independent theaters.

There are seven days left in the year. This is Christmas Eve. Today’s Highlight in History: On Dec. 24, 1955, the Continental Air Defense Command Operations Center in Colorado Springs, Colorado, found itself ﬁelding phone calls from children wanting to know the whereabouts of Santa Claus after a newspaper ad mistakenly gave the Center’s number; the result was a tradition continued by the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) of tracking Santa’s location the night before Christmas. On this date: In 1814, the United States and Britain signed the Treaty of Ghent, which ended the War of 1812 following ratiﬁcation by both the British Parliament and the U.S. Senate. In 1851, ﬁre devastated the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C., destroying about 35,000 volumes. In 1865, several veterans of the Confederate Army formed a private social club in Pulaski, Tennessee, that was the original version of the Ku Klux Klan. In 1871, Giuseppe Verdi’s opera “Aida” had its world premiere in Cairo, Egypt. In 1914, during World War I, impromptu Christmas truces began to take hold along parts of the Western Front between British and German soldiers. In 1939, Pope Pius XII delivered a Christmas Eve address in which he offered a ﬁve-point program for peace and denounced “premeditated aggressions.” In 1943, President Franklin D. Roosevelt appointed Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower supreme commander of Allied forces in Europe as part of Operation Overlord. In 1968, the Apollo 8 astronauts, orbiting the moon, read passages from the Old Testament Book of Genesis during a Christmas Eve telecast. In 1974, Cyclone Tracy began battering the Australian city of Darwin, resulting in widespread damage and causing some 65 deaths. In 1980, Americans remembered the U.S. hostages in Iran by burning candles or shining lights for 417 seconds — one second for each day of captivity.

Certain kinds of sedatives, called benzodiazepines, can cause dizziness and drowsiness, which can lead to accidents. There can be a misconception that driving under the inﬂuence of marijuana or a prescription medication is somehow safer than driving while impaired by alcohol. The bottom line, according to Powell, is local ofﬁcers and Ohio State Highway Patrol troopers are ramping up enforcement efforts as part of a national crackdown on drunk driving, in partnership with the National Highway Trafﬁc Safety Administration to curb impaired driving and save lives. They and other ofﬁcers nationwide, during the holiday season, will show zero tolerance for drunk driving. Increased state and national messaging about the dangers of driving drunk, coupled with checkpoints and increased ofﬁcers on the road, aim to drastically reduce the toll of drunk driving. “Too many people think their actions don’t affect anybody else,” Powell said. “They know it’s illegal. They know it’s wrong. But they do it anyway — they make decisions as if those statistics just can’t happen to them.” Reggie Robinson, community services manager of Health Recovery Services, emphasized the preventable nature of drunk driving. “All it takes is a little planning ahead,” he said. “Designate a sober driver or call a cab. But whatever you do, don’t drink and drive.” NHTSA has made it even easier to get home safely when you’ve been drinking. The new SaferRide mobile app (free from the iTunes store and Google Play), can help users call a taxi or a friend for a ride home. The app can even help you identify your location so you can be picked up.

(AP) — Charles Woodson knows Thursday night will be his chance to say goodbye to the Oakland Raiders fans who have cheered him on for almost two decades. He hopes it won’t be goodbye to football in Oakland as well. The game Thursday night against the San Diego Chargers (4-10) will be the home ﬁnale for the Raiders (6-8), who could be moving to the Los Angeles area after the season if the league grants approval. “It’s going to be sad just for myself. It will be sad for the fans,” Woodson said. “They love this team. They love the Raiders. They identify with the Oakland Raiders. It’s happened to them before. It would be tough to actually have that happen a second time around.” The Raiders and Chargers are seeking to partner on building a stadium in Carson, while the St. Louis Rams are looking to build their stadium in Inglewood and are willing to take on a partner if needed. The three teams are expected to apply to relocate in early January with a possible vote to be held on which teams will be allowed to move during meetings in Houston on Jan. 12-13. While the Raiders future home remains uncertain, Woodson’s future is settled. He announced Monday that he is retiring after an 18-season career that was one of the best of any defensive back in NFL history. “The fact that it could be the last game in Oakland and his last home game I’m sure will even add to the energy there,” Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers said. “He’s always a guy that I have had respect for and I played in a lot of games against. As I think he said, he’s still doing it. It’s amazing that he can still really run and in watching the tape, every time the ball is turned over, he is the one ends up with the fumble or an interception it seems like.” Woodson is still performing at a high level at age 39, ranking second in the NFL with eight takeaways and being picked for another Pro Bowl. Here are some other things to watch when the Chargers visit the Raiders: MORE WOODSON: Woodson has a chance to set some records the next two weeks. He can become the oldest player ever to return a punt and also can break a tie with Rod Woodson and Darren Sharper by scoring his 14th career defensive touchdown. There’s also talk about getting Woodson involved in the offense as he was when he won the Heisman Trophy at Michigan in 1997. Woodson has two career catches, but none since 2000.

The Point Pleasant boys basketball team overcame the visiting River Valley Raiders in a 70-68 overtime thriller on Tuesday night in Mason County. The Big Blacks (1-4) and the Raiders (2-9) traded the lead in the ﬁrst 32 minutes of the contest, but the home team took the game on late overtime free throws. Parker Rairden gave Point Pleasant the early lead off a three-pointer at the 7:31 mark in the ﬁrst quarter. After Kirk Morrow gave River Valley its ﬁrst points of the game, Rairden connected with another three at the 6:52 mark. Tyler Twyman got the Raider offense back on track with a three-point play with a little over four minutes left in the quarter. Two free throws from Jacob Dovenbarger kicked off a 7-0 run for the Silver and Black to give the visitors a two-point edge. Douglas Workman sunk a three with 39 seconds left in the period, but the visitors had a 17-16 edge after one quarter. The Point Pleasant offense controlled much of the second quarter. Rairden’s three points kicked off a 10-2 run for the Big Blacks with 6:18 left in the ﬁrst half. Twyman knocked back-to-back threes to keep the Silver and Black in the game. River Valley ended the second quarter on a 5-0 run, capped off by a three from Twyman with six seconds left. The home squad took a 36-35 lead into the break. Morrow and Twyman’s consecutive baskets gave River Valley the lead in the ﬁrst minute of the third quarter. Both squads traded the lead throughout the period, until Cason Payne started a 9-0 run for the Big Blacks. The home squad ended the third quarter on a 7-2 run, capped off by a buzz-beater three from Trey Tucker. PPHS took a 58-49 into the ﬁnale. The Raiders offense started the fourth quarter 8-2 run, led by four points from Morrow. The River Valley defense stepped up in the period, only allowing eight points from the Big Blacks. Will Harbour gave Point Pleasant a two-point lead heading into the ﬁnale minute of regulation. Morrow was fouled with 57 seconds left and tied the contest at 66-all to send the contest into overtime. Trey Tucker was fouled 20 seconds into the overtime period and connected on a free throw to give Point Pleasant a one-point lead. Morrow drove the ball into the paint and netted a bucket to give the Raiders the edge with 2:38 left in overtime. Rairden was fouled with 2:16 left and connected from the charity stripe to tie the contest at 68-all. With one second on the clock, Tucker was fouled again and made both free throws to end the contest. The Big Blacks ﬁnished the game shooting 14-of-49 ﬁeld goals (29 percent), while the Raiders shot 14-of-41 from the ﬁeld (34 percent). Point Pleasant shot 8-of-14 from the free Merry Christmas & Happy New Year From Ingels Carpet 169 N. 2nd Avenue Middleport, Ohio 740-992-7028 throw line and River Valley shot 11-of-23 from the stripe. Both teams ﬁnished with six turnovers, but River Valley had a 32-31 edge in rebounds. “River Valley’s record doesn’t indicate what they are,” Point Pleasant coach Josh Williams said. “We knew, watching them on ﬁlm and watching them in person, that they were going to present matchup problems for us. We knew coming in we would be in a dogﬁght. We’ve been shooting the ball pretty good all year. Defensively, I thought the kids really stepped up and played better. We can still get better, but they made a big step up tonight.” Workman paced the Big Blacks with a game-high 23 points. Rairden followed with 13 points, while Payne ﬁnished with 11 points. Trey Tucker had 10 points, followed by Harbour with eight points. Bradley Gibbs and Trenton Tucker contributed three points and two points respectively for Point Pleasant. “Hats off to Point. They played a great game,” River Valley coach Jeremy Peck said. “They knocked down some early shots and we tightened up our defense in the second half. It was a big night. Tyler returned and played a great game and we’re getting back in the ﬂow with him in the lineup. I see good things coming with my players back healthy. The heart and effort was there and it was an honor to coach against my cousin, Josh.” Morrow led the Raiders with 20 points, followed by Twyman with 19 points.

LOUIS (AP) — Minutes after his contract with the St. Louis Cardinals was announced, Mike Leake was looking ahead to rivalry games against the Chicago Cubs. “Honestly,” he said Tuesday, “I wouldn’t mind taking them down.” Leake and the Cardinals agreed to an $80 million, ﬁve-year contract, a move the Cardinals hopes boosts their chances to win a fourth straight NL Central title. “When we make decisions, it is about performance,” general manager John Mozeliak said. “We heard nothing but positives.” Leake described the Cardinals as a “dynasty.” Before last season, St. Louis had been to the NL Championship Series or deeper four consecutive years. “When the offseason is unfolding, different options pop up,” Mozeliak said. “When this did, we decided it made a lot of sense. I do think it makes the Cardinals stronger.” Leake gets $12 million next year, $15 million in 2017, $17 million in 2018, $16 million in 2019 and $15 million in 2020. The deal includes an $18 million mutual option for 2021 with a $5 million buyout. Leake also receives a full no-trade provision. During his news conference, Leake raised a No. 8 jersey, the number he wore at Arizona State. “I was looking for some place to call home,” Leake said. “They were willing to work with us and we were willing to work with them.” Because Leake was traded during last season, the Cardinals will not have to forfeit a compensatory draft pick. COLUMBUS (AP) — Ohio State had one of those nights. “We couldn’t even throw a rock in the ocean,” Ohio State guard JaQuan Lyle said. The Buckeyes missed their ﬁrst 16 3-point attempts Tuesday and ﬁnished 3 for 22 (14 percent) but upped their defensive effort in the second half, when Lyle scored 12 of his 18 points, and pulled away for a 64-44 win against Mercer. “If anybody ever says defense doesn’t win games they don’t know what they’re talking about,” OSU coach Thad Matta said. Ohio State (7-5) was 26 for 60 from the ﬂoor (43. 3 percent) but compensated with 17 steals and a 17-4 advantage in fast break points against Mercer (9-3). The Buckeyes, winners of three straight, also got 13 points from Jae’Sean Tate and 12 by Keita Bates-Diop. Desmond Ringer had 18 points for Mercer, who made 17 of 49 ﬁeld goals (34.7 percent). “We just got smashed every sense of the imagination tonight,” Mercer coach Bob Hoffman said. “They’re length got us. I don’t By Ralph D. Russo Associated Press know the last time we had 25 turnovers in a game. We got sped up a lot.” Ohio State started the ﬁrst ﬁve minutes of the second half on a 13-4 run to move ahead 38-28. Trevor Thompson opened the scoring with a thunderous rebound slam. “That was a big-time play for us,” Matta said. “That kind of got us going.” Lyle and Bates-Diop added 3-point plays during the stretch as the Buckeyes clamped down on Mercer. Ohio State led 25-24 at the half but was 11 for 29 (37.9 percent) from the ﬂoor and committed 12 turnovers, one more than the entire game against the Wildcats. The Buckeyes had just four in the second half. Mercer led 20-13 in the ﬁrst half before Lyle scored six and lobbed to Bates-Diop for a dunk to cap the ﬁrst-half scoring with 2:15 left. “We were right there,” Hoffman said. “We were doing what we wanted to do. We were executing. We were getting shots.” www.mydailysentinel.com Then the Ohio State defense took over. ON THE COURT Ohio State freshman forward Mickey Mitchell made his debut with 1:57 left in the ﬁrst half. He had not been allowed to play, but could practice, while the NCAA determined his eligibility. He was given approval on Friday. He had three rebounds in eight minutes and missed his only shot. “It felt good just playing again and being out there with my teammates,” he said. TIP-INS Mercer: Hoffman on the Bears’ best start since 1984-85. “My guys have been amazing. An amazing ﬁrst semester, 9-3. A lot of road games, neutral site games and we got it taken to us tonight with a really good team I thought we had a chance against. We did for awhile.” Ohio State: The only previous meeting with Mercer was exactly 11 years ago when the Buckeyes won 102-77 in Value City Arena. Ohio State is 14-1 vs. the Southern Conference.

Staying in the NL was appealing also because he’s a career .212 hitter with six homers. “I will say it was something we thought was attractive,” Mozeliak said. “Most of our pitchers are not very comfortable hitting.” Leake’s trade last July was part of a dismantling of much of the Reds’ core, including third baseman Todd Frazier and pitcher Johnny Cueto, and they have attempted to trade closer Aroldis Chapman. “We did have a locker room full of talented players and we were never able to piece it together in the right way,” Leake said. “Seasons like that are never fun.” “I think we can be the best,” Leake said. “If they name me the No. 5 guy, that’s ﬁne with me.” St. Louis failed in efforts earlier this offseason to retain outﬁelder Jason Heyward and add pitcher David Price. Mozeliak said talks with Leake began about a weekand-a-half ago. Leake had put a priority on Arizona, where he lives, but the Diamondbacks signed Zack Greinke and acquired Shelby Miller from Atlanta. “Once Arizona got out of the picture I was open to whatever team I felt ﬁt my needs the best,” Leake said. “Coming here has turned into my new No. 1.” Leake is durable, ranking ﬁfth in innings in the National League during his six seasons. He was second in the NL in pitches thrown per inning, Lyle leads OSU to win against Mercer Stanford RB McCaffrey wins AP player of the year Stanford running back Christian McCaffrey is The Associated Press college football player of the year, becoming the ﬁrst non-Heisman Trophy winner to earn the honor in six years. McCaffrey was the runner-up for the Heisman Trophy to Derrick Henry, but received 29 of 60 votes from the AP Top 25 media panel to edge the Alabama running back. Henry received 16 votes and Clemson quarterback Deshaun Watson was third with 11. Navy quarterback Keenan Reynolds and Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayﬁeld each received two votes. The last time the AP player of the year was not the Heisman winner was 2009. That season Nebraska defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh was the AP voter’s choice while the Heisman went to Alabama running back Mark Ingram. It is the ﬁfth time overall that the Heisman winner and AP player of the year went to different players. McCaffrey is the ﬁrst Stanford player to win the award since it was ﬁrst handed out in 1998 and ﬁrst running back to win it since one of his football heroes, Southern California’s Reggie Bush, did it in 2005. “This award is a testament to all the efforts and support of my teammates, coaches, staff and the entire Stanford football program,” McCaffrey said in a statement to the AP on Tuesday. The 200-pound sophomore was a revelation this season and, like Bush, displayed an ability to dominate games in various ways. He ran for 1,847 yards (second-most in the nation behind Henry) and eight touchdowns, caught a teambest 41 passes for 540 yards and four scores and averaged 28.9 yards per kickoff return with another score. He also threw two touchdown passes. “What is Christian McCaffrey? The answer is football player,” Stanford coach David Shaw said in a recent interview. “It’s not running back. It’s not receiver. It’s not returner. It’s football player. What do you need for him to do?” Add it all up and McCaffrey set the NCAA record for all-purpose yards with 3,496 this season, breaking the mark of 3,250 set by Oklahoma State’s Barry Sanders in 1988. McCaffrey played two more games than Sanders though he had fewer total touches when he passed the record. “You can say he had the best year in the history of college football,” Shaw said. McCaffrey, who is the son of former Stanford and NFL receiver Ed McCaffrey, can also kick and punt though he admits without much consistency. “(In high school) I had one 60 yard punt and I had one negative-3-yard punt,” he said. Shaw said he is conﬁdent McCaffrey could hold his own on defense if necessary. “One day we needed some guys to ﬂip over and be on the scout team,” Shaw said. “And he ﬂipped over and jumped over at corner. And the back pedal was natural. The plant and dive was natural. The ﬂipping the hips to run deep was natural. He could be phenomenal at that position, too.” McCaffrey led the Cardinal (11-2) to a Pac-12 championship and their third Rose Bowl appearance in the last four year. Stanford will play Iowa on Jan. 1 in Pasadena, California. His record-breaking season will make him one of the favorites to win the Heisman heading into the 2016 season. It will be a high standard to match, but McCaffrey said he has plenty left to prove. “I’m not satisﬁed at all with the season, my personal season,” he said. “All the great players you ask always expect greatness. There’s deﬁnitely a lot of work to be done. A lot of room for improvement.” They’ve traded a number of young pitching prospects the past few seasons, including Shelby Miller, Tyrell Jenkins and Rob Kaminsky. A 28-year-old right-hander, Leake is 64-52 with a 3.88 ERA in six big league seasons. He was 11-10 with a 3.70 ERA for Cincinnati and San Francisco last season, totaling 30 starts and 190 innings. Ace Adam Wainwright, who returned late in the season from a torn left Achilles tendon, heads a rotation that includes Carlos Martinez, who was sidelined in September by a shoulder injury but is anticipated to be ready for spring training. Jaime Garcia and Michael Wacha also are expected to start, and lefties Marco Gonzales, Tyler Lyons and Tim Cooney could earn rotation spots. 8 PM 8:30 9 PM 9:30 10 PM 10:30 Dumb and Dumber To ('14, Com) Jeff Daniels, Jim The Fault in Our Stars ('14, 400 (HBO) Whitaker.

DR_16461_3x3.5 �SPORTS 6B Thursday, December 24, 2015 Akron takes Bowl BOISE, Idaho (AP) — When Akron placekicker Robert Stein lost his scholarship after his freshman year, he didn’t quit. Instead, he fought his way back to the top of the depth chart without the free ride. And after Stein made three field goals and earned MVP honors in leading Akron to a 23-21 victory over Utah State in the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl on Tuesday, coach Terry Bowden was delighted Stein stuck it out. Rebels Cornwell at the the 6:03 mark of the fourth, but SGHS retaliated with a 17-5 From Page 1B run to claim its ﬁrst lead of the second half at 48-47 canto, but GAHS closed the with 1:02 left in regulation. quarter on a 6-4 spurt to Wes Jarrell followed with take a 37-29 edge into the two free throws with 37.8 ﬁnale. seconds left to reclaim a Gallia Academy took its 49-48 edge for the guests, ﬁnal 11-point lead (42-31) then Kane Hutchinson netfollowing a bucket by Miles ted 1-of-2 free throws with Wildcats From Page 1B Bissell with ﬁve.

Isaac Huffman marked nine points, Travis Pottmeyer added seven, 24.6 seconds left to end regulation tied at 49-all. GAHS did manage several close shot attempts and offensive rebounds before the buzzer, but none of the shots managed to go into the hole. South Gallia’s biggest lead of the night came at 56-51 following a pair of free throws by Kane Hutchinson at the 2:23 mark of OT, but the Blue Devils answered with an 8-2 surge over the next 1:55 for a 59-58 lead with 28 seconds left. Jarrell picked up his ﬁfth foul with 9.9 seconds remaining, and Landon Hutchinson sank the ﬁrst of two free throws to knot things up at 59-all. On Gallia Academy’s Daily Sentinel Wyatt Lang chipped in with six, while Montana Brooker had ﬁve and Cody Harris scored four. Noah Hilverding and Daulton Shriver rounded out the WHS scoring with three and two points respectively. The guests sank 17 two-pointers, 13 threepointers, and made 8-of-11 (72.7 percent) attempts from the free throw line. Waterford is now averaging 76 points per game, while ensuing possession, the guests were eventually whistled for player-control foul — which allowed South Gallia to retain possession with under ﬁve seconds left. The ensuing inbounds pass went to Landon Hutchinson, who was immediately fouled — which sent the senior to the foul line for his eventual game-winning charity toss. Both teams hauled in 31 rebounds in the contest, with GAHS claiming a slim 11-9 edge on the offensive glass. The Blue Devils committed 25 turnovers in the contest and South Gallia ﬁnished the evening with 24 miscues. The hosts connected on 18-of-46 ﬁeld goal attempts allowing 52.
