APPLE GROVE, W.Va. — A
company based in Taiwan says it
is buying the former M&amp;G Plant
in Apple Grove, W.Va.
The Associated Press reports
Taipei-based Far Eastern New
Century Corporation says in a
news release that it has successfully bid about 1 billion New
Taiwan dollars ($34 million)
for the plant formerly owned
by M&amp;G Polymers USA LLC in
Apple Grove. The transaction
also includes a research center
in Ohio. The statement did not
specify the Ohio town.
The statement says pending
bankruptcy court approval, it will
be FENC’s ﬁrst polymer resin
production site in the United
States, also according to the AP.
Back in September, the Mason
County Commission received
notiﬁcation the plant would cease

operations. Then in October, it
was reported M&amp;G Polymers
USA, LLC, ﬁled a petition for
bankruptcy protection in U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the District
of Delaware.
It was estimated at the time of
its closure, the plant employed
around 100 hourly employees and
40 salaried employees who were
directly impacted.
When the plant’s impending
closure was initially announced
in September, it was reported
M&amp;G Polymers had paid
$370,000 in taxes to Mason
County, during the ﬁrst half
of that year. Of that amount,
nearly 77 percent is allocated
to Mason County Schools, the
county’s largest employer. In
addition to the concerns over
lost employment for residents
and revenue for the county, there
was also concern over who, or
what, would ﬁll the company’s

place when it came to charitable
endeavors in Mason County. In
2017, M&amp;G Polymers held its
annual golf tournament to beneﬁt
Crosslight of Hope, raising over
$12,000 for the ministry which
provides food, clothing and basic
needs for families in southern
Mason County. The company was
also a faithful buyer at the Mason
County Fair Livestock Sale.
As for what this news of a new
buyer may mean for employees
who were previously employed
at the plant, that remains to be
seen as the decision is pending
approval in bankruptcy court.
The Point Pleasant Register will
continue to follow this story.
The AP reports FENC also
has production sites in Taiwan
and China. A plant in Vietnam is
scheduled to start production in
June.

Grange honors community citizen
Submitted story

RACINE — Racine Grange recently held its annual
community dinner/pig-in-a-poke auction at the hall in
Oak Grove. The grange provided the turkey and ham.
After dinner, Charles Yost, master of the grange,
called forward Dan Smith of Bashan to receive the
grange’s outstanding community citizen of the year

recognizing Smith for his contributions to the grange
and his many years of service for the Meigs County
Fair as a trustee, an auctioneer, and such things as
the kiddie tractor pull. Smith was accompanied by his
wife, Donna Jean, and his daughter and son-in-law,
Tammy and C.T. Chapman.
After the meal, many present asked Smith if he
would like to try his hand at auctioneering the pig-ina-poke auction. He graciously consented and many
humorous stories of previous pig-in-a-poke auctions
were told as he cried the auction.
A special guest for the evening was county treasurer, Peggy Yost. The money for the auction will go
to Racine Grange projects.

Heart disease isn’t a
problem reserved for
Americans 55 and older.
According to the CDC,
it’s the leading cause
of deaths in the United

That’s why knowing the
signs of heart problems
and taking steps to keep
your heart young and
healthy is so important.
Keeping your heart
healthy begins with
maintaining good cardiovascular health. For
starters, it’s important
to maintain a regular
exercise regimen. Don’t
think you have to run
long distances to get your

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The Ohio Supreme
Court delivered a pair of blows to abortion clinics in Toledo and Cleveland on Tuesday.
In a 5-2 ruling, the high court upheld a state
order shuttering Capital Care of Toledo, the
northwest Ohio city’s last abortion clinic, in a
decision the facility is expected to appeal.
Justices found that the Ohio Department of
Health acted within its rights in 2014 when it
decided to shut down Capital Care of Toledo.
Justices say the clinic violated a requirement
because it no longer had a valid patient-transfer
agreement.
Chief Justice Maureen O’Connor dissented in
an opinion joined by former Justice William M.
O’Neill, who submitted his opinion before resigning Jan. 26.
O’Connor wrote that Capital Care had complied with the state Health Department’s rule
on transfer agreements and that it was only
abortion-related restrictions tucked into the state
budget in 2013 that required the partnering hospital to be “local.” She concluded those new laws
were unconstitutional.
The restrictions mandated that clinics’ longrequired transfer agreements be with local hospitals, and also barred public hospitals from providing them. The University of Toledo Hospital
ended its transfer arrangement with Capital Care
about two months before the law was enacted.
Republican Attorney General Mike DeWine’s
ofﬁce asked the high court during oral arguments
in September to override lower court rulings and
uphold the state’s order. A lawyer for the clinic
told the court that the state is trying to prevent
women in northwestern Ohio from seeking legal
abortions and is putting them at greater risk.
After the Republican-controlled state Legislature opted to outlaw transfer agreements with
public hospitals, Capital Care went out of state,
negotiating its required agreement with the University of Michigan Health System in Ann Arbor.

THEIR VIEW

Trump hit a
grand slam and
touched all bases
DALLAS — By virtually any traditional measure — as well as a few nontraditional measures
— President Donald Trump’s ﬁrst State of the
Union (SOTU) address was a great
success. Let us count the ways.
Merrill
The polls: A CBS poll released
Matthews
shortly
after the speech reported
Contributing
that
75
percent of those watching
columnist
approved of it, and 80 percent said
the president was trying to unite the
country. Importantly, two-thirds said the speech
made them feel proud.
In a Politico/Morning Consult poll, 35 percent
of those watching gave the president an “A” for
his speech and 25 percent gave him a “B.” Only 26
percent gave him either a “D” or “F.”
Those numbers would be good for any president’s State of the Union address. But given
Trump’s usually low approval ratings, that’s a very
positive response.
The audience: The Nielsen Company reported
that 45.6 million people watched the State of the
Union message on TV. That was the sixth largest
SOTU audience, a solid turnout, though not a
record.
Of course, Nielsen’s numbers only reﬂected
cable and broadcast TV networks. However, more
and more people are bypassing TV and viewing
such events online, so total viewership likely was
much larger than the ofﬁcial number.
The tone: Trump appeared presidential in his
demeanor, gracious to the opposition — supporting several policy initiatives that Democrats
want — and he stayed on message. All three tasks
can be challenging for this president. So when he
achieves them, it’s a yuuge success.
Ironically, Trump’s presidential stature during
the speech was magniﬁed, rather than diminished,
by the Democrats’ sour faces. It’s common for the
opposition party to remain in their seats more
and applaud less than the president’s party. But in
this case, Democrats looked bitter and dejected —
even when the president highlighted the achievement of widely shared goals such as low black and
Hispanic unemployment rates.
The catchy phrases: State of the Union
addresses seldom rise to the level of high oratory.
The speeches are more notable for a few catchy
phrases that stick in people’s minds, and Trump’s
was no exception.
One of Trump’s best was the comment that
“Americans are dreamers, too,” which took a
potent political issue — illegal aliens brought to
the U.S. as children, referred to as “Dreamers” —
and turned the notion on its head, making it apply
to American citizens who also dream of achieving
their goals
The human connection: Since Ronald Reagan’s
1982 address, SOTU speeches have increasingly
put a human face on political and policy issues.
Trump drew attention to several people sitting in the gallery, including a young man who
put ﬂags on veterans’ graves, two families whose
daughters were killed by gang members and a
North Korean who escaped to freedom.
Every president incorporates the practice in
their SOTU address these days, but none more
effectively than Trump.
The wins: With 45 million-plus people watching,
State of the Union addresses provide a platform
for a president to tout his successes. Trump had
a number of them, especially with respect to the
economy, and he wasn’t bashful about sharing
them.
But the successes have to be experienced to be
effective. President Barack Obama used to boast
about economic recovery and the beneﬁts of his
health care law, but those claims just didn’t ring
true for millions of Americans.
By contrast, Trump’s claim of a surging economy is reﬂected in news headlines and growing
public optimism — and completely believable.
The State of the Union has become a political showcase, where Americans who seldom pay
much attention to politics can hear the president
make the best case he — and eventually she —
can for the country and his policies.
If the public comes away from that address
informed, encouraged and proud, it was a successful speech. The polls show Donald Trump did
exactly that.

THEIR VIEW

To Eagles fans: ‘Act like you’ve been there’
This editorial recently
appeared in The Philadelphia Inquirer:
The trophy has been
hoisted. The green confetti has ﬂuttered. And
the Macy’s mannequins
have been liberated from
their window displays.
Wait, what?
It’s been been a topsyturvy time in Philadelphia since the Super
Bowl LII clock ran down
to zero Sunday night
and the Eagles secured
a 41-33 victory over the
New England Patriots.
Thousands of fans took
to the streets in mostly
orderly fashion, though
the kidnapping of mannequins and more than
one light pole were
reported.
And we haven’t even
had the parade yet.
The Eagles and their
adoring fans embraced
the underdog nature of
all this while denying the
Tom Brady-led Patriots a
sixth Super Bowl win.
The Eagles had never
won a Super Bowl, not

parade, which will march
north from Broad and
Pattison on Thursday to
the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
For some, all this
was too much. And bad
behavior followed.
There was some looting at a convenience
store. A car was tipped
over. A hotel’s canopy
collapsed under the
weight of frenzied revelers. There were some
arrests in the city. It got
a little crazy, for sure.
To this, we’re reminded of an old bit of advice,
often attributed to the
late Green Bay Packers
coach Vince Lombardi:
“Act like you’ve been
there before” when you
score.
The Super Bowl trophy bears Lombardi’s
name. So the guy knew
what he was talking
about.
Come Thursday, Philly,
cheer your team and
parade with pride. But
act like you’ve been there
before.

since the game was ﬁrst
held in 1967. They had
only reached the big
game twice before in
that time.
For crying out loud,
the Eagles hadn’t won a
NFL championship since
Dwight D. Eisenhower
was living in the White
House. That was 1960,
58 long years ago. But
we stopped crying out
loud a while back.
Underdogs? Sure. The
players donned doggie
masks, and we all followed along, barking
mad at the disrespect,
amid plenty of predictions of another parade
for the Patriots.
But there was something different about all
this, a casual conﬁdence
in a city diagnosed for
decades with an incurable inferiority complex.
The Eagles and their
fans weren’t complaining
about being underdogs.
They were embracing it,
owning it, laughing at it.
In short, not so inferior after all.

The fans in Boston call
Brady the GOAT, short
for “greatest of all time.”
So there was the
GOAT, sitting on the
turf in the fourth quarter, after being sacked by
the Eagles defense and
stripped of the football
in a play that sealed the
Eagles victory.
And now the Eagles
have that big, shiny, silver trophy. They join the
Phillies, Flyers and 76ers
— professional sports
franchises that have all
logged championship
seasons.
This is a city of winners, a place where the
big thing blooms and
thrives. Take notice,
Amazon. Get on board.
The pope came calling

THOUGHT FOR TODAY

TODAY IN HISTORY
Today is Wednesday,
Feb. 7, the 38th day of
2018. There are 327 days
left in the year.
Today’s Highlight in History
On Feb. 7, 1943, the
government abruptly
announced that wartime
rationing of shoes made
of leather would go into
effect in two days, limiting consumers to buying
three pairs per person
per year. (Rationing was
lifted in October 1945.)
On this date
In 1497, “The Bonﬁre
of the Vanities” took
place in Florence, Italy,
as followers of Dominican friar Girolama
Savonarola burned a
huge pile of items considered to be sinful distractions, such as books,
artwork, ﬁne clothing
and cosmetics.
In 1795, the 11th
Amendment to the U.S.
Constitution, dealing
with states’ sovereign
immunity, was ratiﬁed.
In 1817, America’s
ﬁrst public gas street
lamp was lighted in
Baltimore at the corner
of Market and Lemon
streets (now East Baltimore and Holliday
streets).

of his family’s rule.
In 1998, the Winter
Olympic Games were
opened in Nagano,
Japan, by Emperor Akihito.
In 1999, Jordan’s King
Hussein died of cancer
at age 63; he was succeeded by his eldest
son, Abdullah.
Ten years ago: John
McCain effectively
sealed the Republican
presidential nomination
as chief rival Mitt Romney suspended his campaign. Fourteen reﬁnery
workers were killed in a
sugar dust explosion in
Port Wentworth, Georgia. A gunman opened
ﬁre at a Kirkwood, Missouri, council meeting,
killing three city ofﬁcials and two police ofﬁcers before being fatally
shot by law enforcement. In Los Angeles,
a man who claimed
responsibility for the

deaths of three relatives
opened ﬁre on a SWAT
unit, killing one ofﬁcer;
the gunman was killed
by a police sniper. After
two months of delay,
shuttle Atlantis blasted
into orbit with Europe’s
gift to the international
space station, a $2 billion science lab named
Columbus.
Five years ago: CIA
Director-designate
John Brennan strongly
defended anti-terror
attacks by unmanned
drones under close
questioning at a protestdisrupted conﬁrmation
hearing held by the Senate Intelligence Committee.
One year ago: Charter
school advocate Betsy
DeVos won conﬁrmation
as education secretary
by the slimmest of margins, pushed to approval
only by the historic tiebreaking vote of Vice
President Mike Pence.

about adding speed
bumps and the speed
bumps were debated
brieﬂy among the council.
The options on turning
Dusky Street into a one
way were further discussed and Mayor Eric
Cunningham suggested
holding a public meeting. Council Member
David Poole suggested
approaching the residents
along Dusky Street before
scheduling a meeting.
Police Chief Mony
Wood addressed the
sewer drainage concerns
brought up at the previous meeting and assured
the council there was no
illegal drainage. Wood
noted the need for an
ordinance addressing
campers after a discussion of ordinances
regulating little houses,
camper living, and sewers. McCoy voiced his
concerns about debris,
unregistered vehicles, and
unkempt property and
Cunningham explained
the Solicitors’ opinions
given in the past and the
limited options to address
issues with abandoned
and derelict property.
The shelter house
grant and planning were
discussed including cost
effective methods for
demolition of the current
shelter house.
Poole asked about
property owned by the
village and noted the old
landﬁll on Snowball Hill.
Grants Administrator
Fred Hoffman said he was
not aware of any village
focused landﬁll cleanup
grants, but occasionally
there is grant money the
county may obtain and
distribute.
Poole asked if there
was a plan for the Microsoft account and going
forward with emails for
everyone to communicate and asked if there

were any existing shared
services. Cunningham
noted there are none at
this time, but he has a
standing agreement with
Racine to share equipment if emergencies arise.
Council Member
Michelle White noted she
spoke to Street Superintendent Dustin Butcher.
White asked the quoted
price for playground
mulch and Fiscal Ofﬁcer
Crystal Cottrill said the
approved purchase was
$11 per cubic yard, but
no one had a volume
measurement due to
the drainage work to be
done. White said she
was trying to contact the
insurance agent to see
if rubber mulch would
be acceptable. Cunningham and Cottrill noted
the Risk Management
Representative would
be the best contact for
an ofﬁcial stance. Cunningham noted the need
to research rubber mulch
fully because he had discovered several articles
about playgrounds switching from rubber mulch to
another product due to
concerns about contamination and illness. White
said there were multiple
varieties of rubber mulch
and she would obtain
samples of the one she
preferred.
McCoy, Weaver, and
Poole coordinated scheduling for attending New
Council Member Training and Public Records
Training. Cottrill brieﬂy
explained the importance
of ofﬁcials understanding
open meetings and public
records laws.
Poole asked for more
information regarding
pool fundraising and planning and potential pool
fundraising efforts were
discussed. McCoy added
he and Weaver have been
working on ideas for the
Veterans Memorial.
The next regularly
scheduled meeting will be
held 7 p.m., Feb. 8 at the
Syracuse Village ofﬁce.

Rio baseball
remains
winless
By Randy Payton
For Ohio Valley Publishing

DAYTON, Tenn. — The University of Rio
Grande baseball team was hoping for at least one
win in its season-opening four-game road trip to
Tennessee.
After dropping a pair of tough outings on Friday
afternoon to 18th-ranked University of Northwestern Ohio and to host Bryan College - which
received votes in the same preseason coaches’ poll
- the RedStorm was betrayed by its bullpen against
the same two foes on Saturday.
UNOH rallied for six runs in the top of the
seventh inning to post a 9-5 win over Rio, while
Bryan pushed across three runs in the home sixth
inning to rally for a 10-8 win over the RedStorm at
Senter Field.
While Rio ﬁnished the weekend at 0-4, UNOH
closed the weekend at 8-2 and the host Lions are
4-0.
In Saturday’s opener against UNOH, the RedStorm broke a 3-3 tie in the bottom of the sixth
inning thanks to a two-run home run by senior
Kameron Herring (Heath, OH), but the Racers
quickly re-tied the game against Rio junior starter
Zach Harvey (Huntington, WV) in the top of the
seventh on a two-run, pinch-hit home run by Eddy
Pimentel before adding four more runs to win
going away.
Myles Miller followed the game-tying home run
with a single, signaling the end of the day for Harvey and the appearance of freshman Caine Whitney (Newark, OH).
Felix Correa greeted Whitney with a single and
Erich Gonzalez followed with an RBI double to
make it 6-5. Junior Gomez followed with a sacriﬁce ﬂy and, one out later, Jonathan Rodriguez
capped the uprising with his second two-run home
run of the game.
Rio Grande went down in order in the bottom of
the seventh.
Harvey suffered the loss, allowing eight hits and
six runs over six innings. The right-hander also
walked two and fanned eight.
Senior Cody Blackburn (Amanda, OH) ﬁnished
2-for-4 with a home run and two RBI for the
RedStorm, while junior David Rodriguez (Santo
Domingo, D.R.) had a double and junior Michael
Rodriguez (Santo Domingo, D.R.) drove in a run.
Jonathan Rodriguez ﬁnished 2-for-3 with four
RBI for UNOH, while Gonzalez went 2-for-4 with
a double and two RBI and Jose Paulino had two
hits of his own.

Lady Eagles soar past Southern, 71-39
By Alex Hawley
ahawley@aimmediamidwest.com

RACINE, Ohio —
Once again, the Lady
Eagles are the undisputed
queens of the county.
The Eastern girls basketball team defeated TriValley Conference Hocking Division host Southern by a 71-39 count on
the road Monday night,
giving the Lady Eagles a
perfect 3-0 record against
other Meigs County
teams this season.
Eastern (14-6, 12-3
TVC Hocking) buried
eight ﬁeld goals in the
opening quarter and
charged out to a 22-4
lead. The Lady Eagles led
by as many as 28 point
in the second period, and
settled for a 36-10 halftime advantage.
Southern (6-15, 4-11)
cut the margin as low as
25 in the third quarter,
but Eastern’s lead grew to
34 points, at 50-16, by the
end of the stanza.
The Lady Tornadoes
made it as close as 25
again in the fourth, but
the Lady Eagles closed
out the 71-39 win with a
8-to-1 run.
“It was a very good
win,” EHS head coach
Jacob Parker said. “Come
tournament time there
are a few of these younger girls who are probably going to get their
numbers called in certain
situations, so it was nice
to get them into a varsity
setting. I was proud of
them, it was the ﬁrst time
they came in and didn’t
look like they were scared

to death, they came out
and just played basketball.
“Our offense started
on the defensive end of
the ﬂoor,” Coach Parker
added. “If you can play
good defense, create
some havoc and create
some turnovers, you can
get some easy buckets
that way. We did a very
nice job of ﬁnding the
next player, the open
player, tonight. The other
thing about our offense
tonight was that we were
aggressive going toward
the basket. That’s something that’s been lacking
of late, so it was nice to
see that come back into
our offense.”
For the game, Eastern shot 30-of-65 (46.2
percent) from the ﬁeld,
including 2-of-10 (20
percent) from threepoint range. Meanwhile,
Southern was 11-of-51
(21.6 percent) from the
ﬁeld, including 3-of-6 (50
percent) from beyond the
arc.
The Lady Eagles were
9-of-25 (36 percent) from
the free throw line, where
the Lady Tornadoes shot
14-of-33 (42.4 percent).
“We did some good
things early, we just didn’t
get a couple shots to fall,”
SHS head coach David
Kight said. “We had
some good looking shots,
they just didn’t go in and
sometimes that happens.
On the defensive end of
the ﬂoor we kind of kept
them in check, but it’s
hard for any team at any
level to overcome second
chance points.

Southern senior Jaiden Roberts (10) shoots a two-pointer over
Eastern junior Kelsey Casto (32), during the Lady Eagles’ 71-39
victory on Monday in Racine, Ohio.

“I thought when they
made their run to get a
double-digit lead, they
hurt us from the free
throw line and they hurt
us with second chance
points,” added Kight.
“Outside of that I thought
they executed the game
plan really well and got
the shots that we wanted.
It was just one of those
nights where there was
a lid on the rim and we
couldn’t get it to go.”
The guests won the
rebounding battle by a
43-26 count, including
18-to-12 on the offensive end. EHS also won
the turnover battle by a
27-to-14 clip, picking up a
20-to-5 steals edge. Both
teams rejected one shot
in the contest.
EHS freshman Olivia
Barber led all scorers

with 14 points on seven
ﬁeld goals. Kelsey Casto
and Elizabeth Collins had
10 points apiece, with
Collins grabbing a gamehigh 14 rebounds.
Kennadi Rockhold hit
one three-pointer and ﬁnished with nine points for
the guests, Jess Parker
added eight points to
the winning total, while
Madison Williams came
up with six points and led
the EHS defense with ﬁve
steals.
Alyson Bailey contributed ﬁve points to the
Lady Eagle cause, Kassie
Casto chipped in with
four, while Whitney Durst
marked three points on
a trifecta. Kaitlyn Hawk
rounded out the Eastern
total with two points,

Orange and Brown still
claimed a season sweep
after posting a 55-53 win
in Athens County back
on Jan. 11.
The hosts shot a
higher percentage from
the ﬁeld and made eight
more trifectas in the
game than NelsonvilleYork, but the game’s ﬁnal
outcome ultimately came
down to turnovers and
free throw shooting.
The Lady Marauders
committed 14 turnovers
and converted only 2-of6 free throw chances
for 33 percent, including an 0-for-3 effort in
the fourth quarter. The
guests, conversely, had
only seven mistakes and
went 9-of-17 at the charity stripe for 53 percent.
At the end of the
night, MHS coach Jarrod
Kasun was frustrated
because his troops gave
an effort worthy of a
win — but they didn’t
do enough little things
consistently to get the
victory.
“You have to make free
throws and you have
to box out when other
teams shoot,” Kasun
said. “We didn’t convert
free throws when we

needed them and we
allowed the best player
in the league to get an
offensive rebound on a
free throw and beat us.
“We needed to step up
to challenge there late
and we didn’t. It was just
another game that we
ultimately let get away
this season.”
NYHS overcame an
early 2-0 deﬁcit by making a 14-5 run over ﬁveplus minutes to secure
the largest lead of the
night at 14-7 with 1:49
remaining, but Madison
Hendricks hit a trifecta
with 38 seconds left in
the opener to end the
ﬁrst quarter with Meigs
facing a 14-10 deﬁcit.
The Lady Marauders
answered with a 13-4
run to start the second
frame, allowing the hosts
to take their largest lead
of the night at 23-18 following a Becca Pullins
three-pointer with 2:49
remaining.
Joscelyn Heller converted a rare four-point
play to whittle the lead
down to one, then both
teams traded two baskets apiece over the
ﬁnal 1:12. Hendricks
converted a layup just
ﬁve seconds before halftime, giving the hosts a
slim 27-26 cushion at the
break.

run with a trifecta at the

Young said he was ill,
but he still played 36
minutes.
“You’ve got to play
through it,” he said.
“I wasn’t feeling very
good, but I mean, I’m
not going to make any
excuses. It’s the nature
of basketball. I have to
go out there and compete and give it my all.”
Brady Manek scored
12 points and Khadeem
Lattin had 13 rebounds
and four blocks for the
Sooners (16-7, 6-5).
Rashard Odomes
made a layup to cut
West Virginia’s lead to
74-73 with 24.3 seconds to play. Oklahoma
struggled to get the
ball up the court after
Ahmad made one of
two free throws with
13 seconds remaining,
and Odomes missed
under duress in close in
the ﬁnal seconds.
The Sooners had a
timeout before the ﬁnal
sequence but chose not
to use it.
“We had the open
court for Trae,” Oklahoma coach Lon Kruger said. “I liked what
we had. We had the
timeout ready to call
if we needed it but we
talked about before the
free throws that if Trae
had the open court we
wouldn’t call it, and he
had a good look, good
open court.”
Carter sliced through
Oklahoma’s defense for
a layup at the ﬁrst-half
buzzer to give West
Virginia a 50-40 lead.
The Mountaineers shot
57 percent from the
ﬁeld and made 8 of 13
3-pointers before the
break. Young scored
17 points in the ﬁrst
half and had just one
turnover, but the Sooners couldn’t stop the
Mountaineers.

had lost ﬁve of seven,
but they found their
groove by playing the
solid defense they have
become known for
against an Oklahoma
team that had averaged
97.5 points per game at
home.
“That’s how we have
played all year until we
got into that stretch
where, for whatever
reason, we quit taking
chances, we quit trying
to make things happen
with our defense,” Huggins said. “We have got
to make things happen
with our defense to be
successful.”
Esa Ahmad and
Sagaba Konate each
scored 14 and Jevon
Carter added 10 points,
eight assists and six
steals for the Mountaineers (18-6, 7-4 Big
12), who swept the
regular-season series
and moved within a
half-game of conference
co-leaders Kansas and
Texas Tech.
Young, the freshman
who leads the nation in
scoring and assists, had
just one assist as the
Mountaineers chose to
focus on slowing his
teammates.
Huggins said Carter
had something to do
with it, too.
“The guy that guarded him is pretty good,”
Huggins said. “He’s not
going to play against
anybody better than

By Alex Hawley

ahawley@aimmediamidwest.com

POINT PLEASANT, W.Va.
— Just not quite enough.
The Point Pleasant boys
basketball team 15 ﬁeld goals,
including seven three-pointers
on Monday night in Mason
County, but still fell just short
of non-conference guest Ripley,
which escaped ‘The Dungeon’

with a 52-46 win.
Ripley (2-14) — which ended
its 13-game skid with the triumph — led by a narrow 13-12
tally eight minutes into play.
Point Pleasant (1-14) — which
has now lost a dozen straight
— battled back in the second
quarter, outscoring its guest
by a 10-to-8 count and taking a
22-21 lead into the half.
However, the Vikings went

on a 15-to-10 run in the third
quarter and took a 36-32 advantage into the ﬁnale. PPHS
poured in 14 points over the
ﬁnal eight minutes, but RHS
surged for 16 points and sealed
the 52-46 victory.
The hosts were led by Hunter Bush with 14 points, 12 of
which came from beyond the
arc. Kade Oliver was next with
13 points, followed by Trace

Derenberger with 11, with both
PPHS big men making a threepointer. Casey Lowery and
Kyle Martin both scored three
points, with Lowery making
one long ball. The Big Black
scoring was rounded out by
Malik Butler with two points.
Ty Johnson led Ripley with
23 points, followed by Isaac
Blankenship with 16. Grifﬁn
Durst scored ﬁve points for the

guests, while Jaxon Harris and
Tobias Scholl each had four.
From the free throw line,
Point Pleasant was 9-of-10 (90
percent), while Ripley shot
15-of-24 (62.5 percent).
After facing George Washington on Tuesday, the Big Blacks
will be back in action on Friday
at Hannan.

MERCERVILLE, Ohio — Visiting Trimble erased
a one-point halftime deﬁcit with a 31-23 second half
surge and eventually held on for a 63-56 victory over
the South Gallia boys basketball team on Monday
night in a Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division
matchup in Gallia County.
The host Rebels (6-12, 4-8 TVC Hocking) worked
their way out to a slim 33-32 edge at the intermission,
but the Tomcats (12-4, 9-2) overcame the hard-fought
contest with an eight-point swing after the break.
THS — the current TVC Hocking standings leader
— outrebounded the Red and Gold by a 26-17 overall margin and also aided its cause at the free throw
stripe. The guests were 13-of-17 at the line for 76
percent, while the Rebels netted only 2-of-3 attempts
for 67 percent.
SGHS connected on 24-of-52 ﬁeld goal attempts for
46 percent, including a 6-of-17 effort from behind the
arc for 35 percent.
Trimble, conversely, was 22-of-46 from the ﬂoor for
48 percent, including a 6-of-11 effort from three-point
territory for 55 percent.
Curtis Haner led South Gallia with 19 points, followed by Braxton Hardy with 16 points. Eli Ellis and
Austin Stapleton were next with nine points apiece,
while Austin Day completed things with three markers.
Ellis hauled in a team-best seven rebounds and
Hardy also handed out six assists in the setback.
Radny Hixson paced Trimble with a game-high 27
points, followed by Max Hooper with a double-double
effort of 16 points and 11 rebounds. Hixson also
handed a team-high four assists.
Brayden Weber was next with nine points, with
Cameron Kittle and Bryce Richards completing things
with respective efforts of six and ﬁve markers.
