The Barckhoff pipe organ at Grace Episcopal was manufactured in the Pomeroy factory and donated to the church in 1905 by Mary Plantz, daughter in-law of Pomeroy resident and U.S. Congressman Tobias Avery Plants. Both churches’ Barckhoff pipe organs will be featured in the upcoming documentary about Pomeroy currently in production by WOUB Public Media at Ohio University. Evan Shaw, who grew up in Meigs County, is producer of “Our Town Pomeroy” and recently videotaped John Anderson, organist for Sacred Heart Catholic Church, playing the older of the town’s Barckhoff instruments. Dr. Ebie is coming to Pomeroy to explain more about the history of the Barckhoff Church Organ Co. and play the instrument at Grace Episcopal Church for the documentary. The public presentation Jan. 2 at Grace Episcopal Church will feature historical information about the organ company as well as a performance by Dr. Ebie, a native of Mogadore, Ohio. Ebie holds bachelors and masters degrees in education and music performance from the University of Akron, and the doctor of philosophy in music education and educational psychology from Kent State University. He is a skilled pipe organ tuner and technician, servicing many pipe organs in churches throughout Ohio. He is also in great demand as a lecturer and performer on the instrument. Ebie will be accompanied by his wife, Laura Ebie, flute player and accomplished musician in her own right. Pomeroy’s Barckhoff Church Organ Co. and the American Organ Supply Co. were destroyed in the historic flood of 1913. The organ company moved to what is now Waynesboro, Va., and was in operation until sold in 1917. Carl Barckhoff died in 1919 at age 70. In his lifetime, his company made more than 3,000 pipe organs. A number of them throughout the country have been restored, including the two in Pomeroy, and are still actively played. Story earns ODOT union donates to three local charities PVH ‘Employee of the Month’ POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. — Tina Story, RN, Case Manager and Home Health/Hospice, is Pleasant Valley Hospital’s Customer Service Employee of the Month for December. Story has been employed with Pleasant Valley Hospital since January 2013. Story was nominated by her peers because she volunteered to cover a call shift for a co-worker who became ill in the middle of the night on a holiday weekend. She did this after volunteering to cover patient visits on a day when the office was closed in observance of a holiday. PVH officials say Story is always willing to jump in and volunteer when help is needed, regardless of the time of day or night. They added that she is “thoughtful, kind and a pleasure to work with.” Her patients love her and she is quick to make sure they have everything they need. “Tina is an excellent nurse and a wonderful person. She is always willing and eager to jump in and help out, and is the definition of a team player,” said Mistie Best, director of Home Care Services. “She is the type of person who will go above and beyond to make sure her patients are taken care of, but she is just as compassionate and caring toward her peers.

Staff report Marshall grad authors paper Staff report HUNTINGTON, W.Va. — Dr. G. Marshall Lyon III, a 1994 Marshall University Joan C. Edwards School of Medicine graduate, is the lead author of an article published last week in the New England Journal of Medicine on one of the world’s most gripping health issues, Ebola virus disease. Lyon, who graduated from both Huntington High School and Marshall’s School of Medicine, served on the Emory University medical team that treated two patients stricken with the deadly Ebola virus earlier this year. The article, “Clinical Care of Two Patients with Ebola Virus Disease in the United States,” was written by Lyon and members of Emory’s Serious Communicable Diseases Unit and chronicles the care two patients received at Emory after contracting the virus in Liberia. The authors concluded that the limited experience with two patients cannot be extrapolated to all patients with Ebola, but that “intensive nursing care, aggressive rehydration, electrolyte supplementation, and blood transfusions appear to be critical for a positive outcome.” In addition to Lyon’s education in Huntington and at Marshall’s School of Medicine, he completed a residency in medicine/ pediatrics at Duke University, followed by a fellowship in infectious diseases at Massachusetts General Hospital. He also completed a master’s degree in clinical investigations in 2003 at Harvard University and received additional training at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The New England Journal of Medicine is considered among the most prestigious peer-reviewed medical journals and is the oldest continuously published one.

The doorbell rang. The sound of the announcement annoyed the old man who heard it while sitting in his Lazy Boy chair. He laid his open Bible off his lap and onto the floor, and slowly shuffled and pushed himself out of the chair. Ron The company he had expected for Branch yesterday had not come, and now — Pastor for some reason — someone wants to visit, he murmured to himself questioningly. He took hold of his walker and ambled across the hardwood floor to the front door. He opened the door as gruffly as he could, not really caring who the visitor might be. However, recognizing the visitor standing at the bottom of the steps, he said sharply, “Oh, it is you.” Turning, he left the door open, and made his way back to his chair. He had failed to see that there was another visitor behind the one. The visitor flapped his coat vigorously to shake off the snow that had accumulated on it. Then he carefully made his way up the half-dozen steps that had become slippery from the falling snow. At the last step, he kicked off the snow from his shoes as best he could before he stepped into the house. The walk from his chair to the front door back to his chair had winded the old man. He let out a heavy breath as he plopped back into his chair. He still did not notice the second visitor who had just entered the house behind the first. “You’re late! I was ready to go yesterday just like they did!” snapped the old man as he retrieved his open Bible from the floor. “Quite the contrary—-I am always on time. You know that.” the visitor replied. “Read that passage of Scripture again.” The old man knew it by heart because it had served to give him hope for so many years: “But, when the fullness of the time was come, God sent forth His Son, made of a woman, made under the law, to redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.” The old man had lived a life with faith in God. He believed that God had sent His Son to be born at the right time. He believed that the Son’s birth was timely just like the Son’s death, the Son’s Resurrection, and the Son’s Ascension. All of it was timely for the salvation of mankind. He had tried to keep it mindful, particularly on the day before, as well as the days before in years past. This world, he thought, is messed up and troubled. And, if people do not keep the hope of Christ inherent with the celebration of his birth at heart, no other hope is at hand. But, like a lot of people, the meaning of Christ’s birth had become obscured somewhat for him by some bitter life experiences. It is easy to let that happen, perhaps. It had not been that way when past years had transpired happily with the presence of his wife. It had not been that way when the grandson had come to live with him. But, those Christmas days when the fullness of their time had come — he had tried to honor Christ’s birth celebration despite it, but yesterday had been particularly hard to endure. This same visitor had refreshed the old man’s hope about the reason for the season on The Day for the past several years. But, the visitor had not come as usual, and the old man had let his emotional pain dominate his soul. “The reason I did not come yesterday is because the fullness of your time has come today. I brought Andrew with me to give you company.” The second visitor stepped smiling from behind the first in full view. The old man thought he might cry with joy, but for some reason, in that moment of his fullness of time, he did not feel any tears, or the need for them. The Rev. Ron Branch is pastor of Faith Baptist Church in Mason, W.Va. SEARCH THE SCRIPTURE There is a song sung in the church sometimes with the refrain, “Where He leads, I’ll follow … follow Jesus every day.” It is a nice sentiment, but we should make sure that we know what we are getting ourselves into before we begin following another. Jesus Himself advised His would-be disciples to count the cost before undertaking a major commitment such as discipleship. (cf. Luke 14:28) A story is told of a driver who found himself driving in a blizzard, with snow falling so hard he could see little of what was around him. The only thing truly visible were the tail-lights of the car in front of him. As the lead car seemed to be going in the same direction, the driver chose to follow it closely, so as to stay on the road. For mile after mile through the snowy conditions the two cars traveled, the driver ever keeping the lead car in front. But then the lead car stopped. The driver, unsure of what was happening, got out of his car to check on the other. “Why did we stop,” he asked of the one he had been following. “I stopped because I reached by house.” was the answer. We should never follow unless we know where another is leading us. So where does Christ lead us? And what is the cost of following? Jesus, who did desire followers, albeit informed followers, answers these questions and we should heed what He has to say to us.. “Then said Jesus unto his disciples, ‘If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.” (Matthew 16:24-25) The path of Jesus is the path of the cross. It is the path of death and the path of sacrifice. People often use the word “cross” incorrectly in their language and conversations. A woman, suffering from arthritis might tell a friend, “That’s just the cross I am called to bear.” Or when faced with grief of some nature, one might say, “We each have a cross to bear.” Jesus, however, when He spoke of the cross, was not speaking of circumstances, suffering or grief thrust upon one’s self. He was talking of a very personal choice to take up that suffering as part of one’s service to God. A sacrifice is not something another forces you to lose, its a thing you willingly depart with, all of your own accord. The cross of Christ was a sacrifice Christ made on our behalf: giving Himself completely to death because of the sins we had committed. Any who want to follow Christ are called to make a similar sacrifice. Christ leads us to the cross. There we must give up ourselves completely to God and to His Son, submerging our will into their divine will, allowing ourselves to be completely remade in their image (cf. Romans 12:1-2). Anything less falls short of the sacrifice Christ calls us to make as His follower. Which raises another question: why would anyone choose to follow such a guide: one who leads us to the cross, an instrument of death. The answer is likewise found in the statement of the Lord’s: “Whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.” The path of Christ goes through the cross, but it does not end at the cross. Jesus died. And He was buried. But then, in fulfillment of prophecy and in fulfillment of His own words, He rose to a new and eternal life, after which He ascended into heaven to be with the Father once more. The man who follows Jesus to the cross, the man who dies with Christ, putting away his old man; such a man is given a new life and eternal life. Jesus leads us to the cross, but there at the cross, as we are joined to his death through our own sacrifice of self in the waters of baptism, we find life. And as we continue to follow in the footsteps of Jesus the path leads ever upward until at last we reach a heavenly home. Jesus traveled until He reached His home, and if we follow Him as we should, we too may reach that shore. If you would learn how to better give God that which is His due, we invite you to worship and study with us at the Church of Christ, 234 Chapel Drive, Gallipolis. TODAY IN HISTORY...

A trip to Dry Fork in Randolph County is far enough. That’s where John Dalen has created West Virginia’s largest maple syrup works. It started just one year ago on several acres he inherited from his great-great-grandfather who settled in Randolph County in 1876. Dalen has worked as a school teacher, construction jobs and the past few years as a cattle farmer. However, when he got some encouragement from friends, he decided to take a chance on the maple syrup business. “I knew I had the resource. I was persuaded by some individuals who said this was the thing to do. So I crunched some numbers,” explained Dalen. It was a risky move. Dalen shelled out tens of thousands of dollars to get his operation up and running by January of 2014. With 19,000 taps in place and 54 miles of tubing running from the trees to his sugar house at the bottom, Dalen was able to produce 5,000 gallons of syrup by the time the season ended in April. Eighty percent of that was shipped off in bulk to a buyer in New Hampshire. Dalen retailed what was left and sold it locally under the name Dry Fork Maple Works. He’s not content being the state’s largest maple syrup producer. His goal is 50,000 taps. That would be larger than most operations in New Hampshire and Connecticut. “We have better resources than you can find anywhere. Compared with New England we have better timber, better soil, more moisture, a longer growing season, good topography,” stressed Dalen. “In New England, they have to truck most of their syrup. Because we have nice mountains down here, I can make it all run downhill.” Dalen isn’t the only one making a profit from the maple syrup industry here in West Virginia. Jack Veara owns Samara Farms. “I can’t make enough to keep up!” Originally from Baltimore, Veara moved his family to Morgan County 12 years ago. An avid outdoorsman, Veara asked a friend to pick him up 5 taps on a trip to New England and that was the start of his maple syrup operation. “I got me the book ‘Backyard Sugaring.’ The next thing you know it’s me, a couple of milk jugs and I’m out there tapping trees,” said Veara “I’m out there with a crab pot, a camp fire and a blue tarp. As soon as I smelled that sweet, sickening smell, I was hooked!” This past season, Veara, produced 20 gallons of maple syrup which he promptly sold when his wife put out the word on Facebook. He’s installed new taps for this coming season and hopes to increase his output to 200 gallons. Agriculture commissioner Walk Helmick called it a “wonderful, wonderful opportunity” for the state of West Virginia. “I can see this industry doubling in the near future because the interest is there,” said Helmick. In 2015, about 30 maple syrup producers will tap their trees and hope for the sweet water to run. “We want to go to the level where we’re really competitive and can really make a difference financially and help the economy of West Virginia,” said the Commissioner. For more information on the industry, go to the West Virginia Maple Syrup Producers Association on Facebook. Article and photos provided by the West Virginia Department of Agriculture. Four inmates challenge lethal injection drug law COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Four death row inmates are suing Ohio officials over a new state law that shields the names of companies that provide lethal injection drugs. Attorneys for the inmates claim in a lawsuit filed Tuesday that the law violates their free speech rights by concealing the identities of those to whom they would like to direct their messages about the death penalty. They also contend it restricts information that helps inform the public debate over capital punishment. The new restrictions cleared the Legislature last week, and Gov. John Kasich signed the law Friday. They take effect in March.

Patterson was voted college football coach of the year by The Associated Press on Wednesday, joining Nick Saban as the only two-time winners. The AP coach of the year has been awarded since 1998. Patterson, in his 14th season at TCU, was coach of the year in 2009. Saban was coach of the year in 2003 when he was with LSU and in 2008 at Alabama. Patterson received 27 of 54 votes from the AP Top 25 media panel. Urban Meyer of Ohio State was the runner-up with 14 votes. Mississippi State’s Dan Mullen received six votes. Alabama’s Saban and Arizona’s Rich Rodriguez drew two votes each. Florida State’s Jimbo Fisher, Baylor’s Art Briles and Memphis’ Justin Fuente had one. Patterson guided the sixthranked Horned Frogs to an 11-1 record and a share of the Big 12 title after going 4-8 in 2013. “The head coaches get too much attention,” Patterson said. “That means really that you had a good team. Good players and really a great coaching staff.” After his worst season at TCU, Patterson overhauled his offense, knowing he needed more production to keep up in the high-scoring Big 12. He brought in Doug Meacham to be offensive coordinator and Sonny Cumbie to assist and coach quarterbacks. They installed an up-tempo, spread offense similar to the one used by Big 12 rivals Texas Tech, Oklahoma State and West Virginia. What resulted was one of the biggest turnarounds of the season. TCU went from being ranked 105th in the nation in yards per bwalters@civitasmedia.com GALLIPOLIS, Ohio — A 40-23 second half charge ultimately allowed the Ohio Valley Christian boys basketball team to pick up a hard-fought 62-52 victory over visiting Wayne in a non-conference matchup in the Old French City. The host Defenders stormed out to early leads of 5-0 and 7-2, but the Pioneers countered with an 8-2 run to claim a 10-9 edge after eight minutes of play. OVCS made a small 3-2 spurt at the start of the second to knot things up at 12, but Wayne answered with a 17-10 run over the final six-plus minutes en route to a 29-22 advantage at the break. WHS matched its largest lead of the game at 32-25 early on in the second half and never trailed in the third quarter, but the hosts managed to whittle their deficit down with a 12-9 run — making it a 38-34 contest headed into the finale. The Defenders claimed their first lead since early in the first period at 41-40, but the Pioneers answered by tying things up at 42 and again at 46. Evan Bowman, however, netted two free throws for a 48-46 lead, and OVCS led the rest of the way. The Blue and Gold closed the final stanza on a 28-14 charge — which included a 17-of-23 effort at the free throw line — to complete the comefrom-behind triumph. Ohio Valley Christian connected on 16-of-36 field goal attempts for 44 percent, including a 5-of-11 effort from three-point range for 45 percent. The hosts were also 25-of-37 at the free throw line for 68 percent. Marshall Hood and Elijah McDonald both paced OVCS with 16 points apiece, followed by Austin Ragan with 10 markers. Hood also posted teambests of 16 rebounds and seven blocks, while Ragan hauled in six boards as well. Evan Bowman and Dillon Ragan were next with nine points apiece, with Bowman also coming away with a team-high two steals. Justin Beaver rounded out the winning tally with two markers. The Pioneers made 22-of-53 shot attempts for 42 percent, including a 5-of-15 effort from three-point range for 33 percent. WHS was also 3-of-14 at the charity stripe for 21 percent. Cody Wickline and Grant Ferguson each paced Wayne with 14 points, followed by Seth Napier with 12 markers. Cameron Wallace and Mason Hoge each contributed four points, while Tucker Watts and Nate Adkins rounded things out with two markers apiece. Bryan Walters can be reached at 740-446-2342, ext. 2101. By Ralph D. Russo Associated Press play and 106th in yards per game in 2013 to ranking ninth and fourth, respectively, in those categories in 2014. The Horned Frogs increased their points per game by three touchdowns, from 25 to 46. Trevone Boykin, who seemed destined to become a full-time receiver, instead developed into one of the best dual-threat quarterbacks in the country. “It was a big jump for us. Thirtytwo years of my 33 years (in coaching) I’ve been part of run, play action, play good defense. Special teams. This was outside of my comfort zone,” Patterson said. Patterson learned a good defense and an up-tempo offense could co-exist. And TCU, in just its third year in the Big 12, won a share of the conference title. Only a last-second loss at Baylor kept the Frogs from a perfect season. TCU was in the hunt for a College Football Playoff spot and came into the final weekend of the season third in the selection committee rankings. The Frogs ended up sixth and instead of playing for the national title will meet Mississippi in the Peach Bowl on Dec. 31. “We wanted to be in the playoff, but I’m not sure the way it all was handled that TCU didn’t gain even more from not being it in. How we handled it,” Patterson said. “There’s a lot of positives that came out of how everything turned out.” A look at the other contenders and their cases to be coach of the year. URBAN MEYER The Buckeyes’ coach has had an unbeaten season with Utah, won two national championships with Florida and is 36-3 at Ohio State — and has never been AP coach of the year. This season, with a rebuilt offensive line and a redshirt freshman quarterback, Meyer and the Buckeyes overcame early season growing pains to win the Big Ten and earn a playoff spot. Meyer’s greatest strength has always been building a stellar staff. Credit quarterback coach Tom Herman for turning J.T. Barrett into a Heisman contender after Braxton Miller went down in the preseason and for getting Cardale Jones ready to play against Wisconsin in the conference title game. DAN MULLEN In his sixth year with the Bulldogs, Mullen led Mississippi State to one of the best seasons in school history. Mississippi State went 10-2, spent five weeks as the No. 1 team in the AP poll, and earned a spot in the Orange Bowl. Mullen’s greatest success is building a program that can have sustained success on one of the smallest budget in the SEC West. This season an experienced team made up mostly of three-star recruits jelled into a team that could compete with all those five-star rosters in the toughest division in college football. RICH RODRIGUEZ Another coach doing more with less in a rugged neighborhood. Rodriguez’s team was expecting to take a step forward this season, but instead the Wildcats made a leap, relying on a freshman quarterback and running back and a defense led by a sophomore linebacker. Rodriguez won the Pac-12 South, handed Oregon its only loss, and maxed out his roster on the way to an appearance in the Pac-12 title game. Arizona finishes its season in the Fiesta Bowl. NICK SABAN Like Patterson, Saban hired a new offensive coordinator (former USC coach Lane Kiffin), moved toward a more no-huddle attack and won a conference championship. Saban has had so much success he is almost underrated. He could be coach of the year almost every year.

Defending Super Bowl champion Seattle (11-4) received seven of 12 first-place votes Tuesday in the AP Pro32 power rankings, which are decided by a media panel that regularly covers the league. The Seahawks are coming off a 35-6 rout of the Arizona Cardinals. “Bad news for NFC teams. Seahawks are back,” NBC Sports’ Tony Dungy said. The Patriots (12-3), who were No. 1 last week, received the other five first-place votes and trail Seattle by only three points (379-376) in the poll. The Patriots clinched home-field advantage throughout the AFC playoffs when the Cincinnati Bengals beat the Denver Broncos 37-28 on Monday night. “The AFC’s No. 1 seed appears poised for a sixth Super Bowl berth in the past 14 seasons,” said Ira Kaufman of the Tampa Tribune. The Bengals (10-4-1) also clinched a playoff spot for the fourth straight season with the victory. The Bengals are looking for their first playoff win since the 1990 season. “All season long, we haven’t quite known what to make of the Bengals,” the Monday Morning Quarterback’s Jenny Vrentas said. “But Monday night, at least, they showed the grit of a team that could avoid its one-and-done playoffs past.” They close the regular season Sunday night at Pittsburgh (10-5), with the winner taking the AFC North title. “They (Steelers) are going to be a dangerous playoff team,” ESPN’s Herm Edwards said. The Green Bay Packers (11-4) moved up a spot to No. 3. The Packers host the Detroit Lions (11- OVP SPORTS BRIEFS URG men’s basketball to host Christmas Camp 4), who are No. 6 in the poll, for the NFC North title. The Dallas Cowboys (11-4) clinched the NFC East last week and moved up two spots to No. 4. “Finally, a division title for the Cowboys, as Tony Romo puts an exclamation point on a terrific regular-season run and gets into the MVP conversation,” Newsday’s Bob Glauber said. The Broncos (11-4) dropped to No. 5, but can still clinch a firstround bye with a win on Sunday. “The Broncos can go 8-0 at home this season with a victory over Oakland in the season finale.” said Rick Gosselin of The Dallas Morning News. The Lions, Steelers, Arizona Cardinals, Bengals and Indianapolis Colts rounded out the top 10. The injury-riddled Cards dropped three spots after the loss to the Seahawks. “Great team, great coach, but no quarterback,” Fox Sports’ John Czarnecki said. RIO GRANDE, Ohio — The Rio Basketball Christmas Camp is scheduled for Dec. 29-31, from noon-2 p.m. each day, at the University of Rio Grande’s Newt Oliver Arena. The cost for the camp, which is open to boys and girls in grades 2-8, is $40. The camp will be conducted by Rio Grande men’s basketball head coach Ken French, his staff and current members of the RedStorm program. For more information, contact French at (740) 245-7294 or e-mail kfrench@rio.edu. Coaches Corner Classic Saturday at GAHS CENTENARY, Ohio — The fifth annual Coaches Corner Classic wrestling tournament will start 9:30 a.m. Saturday, Dec. 29, at Gallia Academy High School. Besides the host Blue Devils, both Meigs and River Valley will compete as part of the double-digit team field at the 2014 event. Lady Rebels Holiday Tournament OSU might be ahead of schedule COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — This wasn’t supposed to be Ohio State’s year. After a 12-1 season, a Big Ten championship and a spot against Alabama in the Sugar Bowl in the first national semifinals, the Buckeyes are looking beyond this year with as many starters who are freshmen and sophomores as upperclassmen. “We’re not a finished product,” coach Urban Meyer said. “There’s too many young players out there. The future’s very bright, though.” Much is made of the Buckeyes’ depth at quarterback, particularly since injured two-time Big Ten player of the year Braxton Miller (who is back next year) was replaced by freshman J.T. Barrett (also back), who was fifth in the Heisman Trophy balloting. When Barrett broke an ankle in the regularseason finale, sophomore Cardale Jones (yet another returnee) stepped in and was a star. The Buckeyes have been stockpiling young talent. Their most recent depth chart shows four freshmen starters (offensive guard Billy Price, H-back Jalin Marshall, linebacker Darron Lee and either Eli Apple or Gareon Conley at cornerback). A sterling sophomore class is represented by Jones, tailback Ezekiel Elliott, wide-out Michael Thomas, conference defensive player of the year Joey Bosa and interceptions leader Vonn Bell, along with lineman Pat Elflein, safety Tyvis Powell and Jones, who had the big breakout game in a 59-0 win against Wisconsin in the Big Ten title game. Meyer was worried before the season started. The Buckeyes had four new starters on the offensive line and a defense that had gushed points in two losses to end last season. They were also without their leading passer (Miller), rusher (Carlos Hyde), receiver (Corey Brown) and tackler (Ryan Shazier). Barrett took over when Miller was lost for the year with a shoulder injury. He looked like a rookie — as did everyone else — when the Buckeyes were upended by two touchdowns at home by Virginia Tech in Game Two. Callers to local sportstalk radio shows and fans writing angry letters to the editor all but gave up on the season. Instead, game by game, the Buckeyes learned their roles and grew. The unknown Barrett developed into one of the best QBs in the country, setting school records for TDs passing (35) and total offense (3,772 yards). Some say all of that stemmed from the maturation of the offensive line. “None of this would be possible if it weren’t for (coach) Ed Warinner and what he’s done,” said QBs coach and co-coordinator Tom Herman, who has taken the job at Houston but will coach the Buckeyes in the bowl game. “It doesn’t matter who you have on the perimeter or who you have playing quarterback if you can’t run the ball and you can’t protect.” Then there’s Elliott, who was a sought-after recruit but had not proven himself as a durable, go-to back. Yet he has rushed for 1,402 yards and 12 touchdowns. Thomas, redshirted a year ago and all but forgotten, became Barrett’s security blanket/No. 1 target, with 43 catches for 680 yards and eight scores. “Not playing last year, I’m still playing catch-up,” he said. “I still have a lot to prove.” It wasn’t just on offense, either. The defense went through a makeover in the spring and summer under new hire Chris Ash, and it seemed as if every young kid he threw into the scheme came up big. Lee was a quarterback from just outside Columbus who appeared to have fallen into a black hole when he shifted to linebacker. But he was just what a more mobile, more aggressive defense required. The Buckeyes also inserted the untested Apple at the corner and he became a shutdown defender. And Bell and Powell took over for veterans at safety and seemed to find big plays almost every game. And then there was Bosa, a free spirit at defensive end who loves video games and social media. Oh, and he also likes tackling quarterbacks — his 13.5 sacks are just half a sack behind Vernon Gholston’s school record. He does a shoulder shrug whenever he plows under an opposing quarterback. MERCERVILLE, Ohio — The 2014 Lady Rebels Holiday Tournament will start on Monday, Dec. 29, and conclude on Tuesday, Dec. 30, as all four Gallia County high school programs battle it out at South Gallia High School. Gallia Academy and Ohio Valley Christian will play at 6 p.m. in the opener Monday night, followed by River Valley and South Gallia at 7:30 p.m. The consolation game will be held at 6 p.m. Tuesday, with the two winners of Monday night’s game meeting in the championship at 7:30 p.m. He was asked what he’ll do if he breaks the sack record. “Backflip,” the 6-foot-5, 278-pounder said with a grin. And several of the Buckeyes’ top freshmen missed all or a large portion of the season with injuries. “This book’s not written yet,” Meyer said. “I’m pleased with it. But these next couple (of years), that’s going to be our legacy.” www.mydailysentinel.com FRIDAY EVENING BROADCAST 3 (WSAZ) 4 (WTAP) 6 (WSYX) 7 (WOUB) 8 (WCHS) 10 (WBNS) 11 (WVAH) 12 (WPBY) 13 (WOWK) CABLE 6 PM WSAZ News 3 WTAP News at Six ABC 6 News at 6:00 p.m. New York Originals Eyewitness News at 6 10TV News at 6 p.m. Modern Family BBC World News: America 13 News at 6:00 p.m. 6 PM FRIDAY, DECEMBER 26 6:30 NBC Nightly News NBC Nightly News ABC World News Nightly Business Report ABC World News CBS Evening News Two and a Half Men Nightly Business Report (N) CBS Evening News 6:30 7 PM 7:30 Wheel of Jeopardy!
