Butler Co. man
arrested in Meigs
sentenced for murder
By Sarah Hawley
shawley@aimmediamidwest.com
MIDDLETOWN — A Butler County man
arrested in Meigs County last year following the
murder of his wife was sentenced this week in
Butler County Common Pleas Court.
Bobby Jo Nitz, 45, pleaded guilty to a single
count of murder during a plea hearing on Jan. 9.
The charge carried a mandatory sentence of
15 years to life in prison, to which Nitz was sentenced on Tuesday.
By pleading guilty to murder, the remaining
charges of the indictment, two counts of felonious assault and a second count of murder, were
dismissed.
According to the Journal-News, the victim
Crista Nitz was shot in the head while her young
daughter was at the residence.
Crista Nitz’ sister addressed the court during
sentencing, with her statements detailed in the
Journal-News article.
“The monster he took a vow to protect her from
was in fact himself,” Wells said. “If he couldn’t
have her no one would. How can you take a
mother in front of her 11-year-old baby girl? The
innocence of a beautiful girl is gone forever.”
Wells called her young niece a hero, noting after
Nitz shot Crista he threw the phone on the roof
and fled, leaving the girl to figure out how to get
her mother help.
“That little girl is very brave,” Wells said.
Wells said Nitz is a monster who hunted her
sister like a caged animal in the their home’s bathroom.
According to previous Sentinel reports, on the
morning of May 1, 2017, Nitz was arrested following a brief pursuit near Alligator Jack’s off Route
7.
A news release from the Middletown Division
of Police at the time of the incident stated that at
9:13 p.m. on Sunday evening (April 30) the office
received a call from an 11-year-old girl that her
mother was dead.
Officers responded to the residence at 1203

Gunman kills at least 17 at Florida HS
By Terry Spencer and Kelli Kennedy
Associated Press
PARKLAND, Fla. — A former
student opened fire at a Florida
high school Wednesday as classes
were being dismissed, killing
at least 17 people and sending
scores of students running into
the streets to escape the bullets.
Frantic parents rushed to
Marjory Stoneman Douglas
High School, where SWAT team
members and ambulances had
surrounded the campus. Live footage showed emergency workers
who appeared to be treating the
wounded on sidewalks.
“It is a horrific situation,”
Superintendent Robert Runcie
said. “It is a horrible day for us.”
The 19-year-old suspect was
taken into custody without incident about an hour after he left
the school, authorities said.
Broward County Sheriff Scott
Israel said the suspect, who was
previously expelled for disciplinary reasons, had at least one rifle
and multiple magazines.
Most of the fatalities were
inside the building, though some
were found fatally shot outside,
the sheriff said.

Parents wait for news after a reports of a shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High
School in Parkland, Fla., on Wednesday. At least 17 people were killed. An 19-year-old
former student was taken into custody.
The gunman was identified as
Nicolas Cruz by a U.S. official
briefed on the investigation. The
official spoke on condition of
anonymity because he was not
authorized to discuss the information publicly.
The day started normally at the
school, which had a morning fire
drill, and students were in class
around 2:30 p.m. when another
alarm sounded.
Noah Parness, a 17-year-old
junior, said he and the other students calmly went outside to their
fire-drill areas when he suddenly
heard popping sounds.
“We saw a bunch of teachers
running down the stairway, and
then everybody shifted and broke
into a sprint,” Parness said. “I
hopped a fence.”

Sam’s Club to offer
free shipping for
premium members
By Anne D’Innocenzio
AP Retail Writer
NEW YORK — Sam’s Club is offering free shipping for premium members and simplifying its
membership tiers.
Starting Wednesday, the Walmart-owned warehouse club will give free shipping on online orders
for Plus members on 95 percent of the items it
sells. Most shipping costs previously were based
on the item’s size and weight, the shipping method and the delivery address.
Free shipping and faster delivery have been key
areas as retailers try to adapt to shoppers’ shift
online. Online leader Amazon has driven strong
loyalty with free shipping through its $99-a-year
Prime membership. Amazon is also reportedly
planning a new service to pick up packages from
businesses and deliver them to consumers. Meanwhile, Target late last year bought grocery delivery
startup Shipt to speed up same-day deliveries.
Sam’s Club is also converting its three membership plans into two. Sam’s Plus will still carry a
$100 annual fee, while the Business and Savings
plans will convert to Sam’s Club memberships
with an annual fee of $45. The company is trying
to better compete with rival Costco Wholesale
Corp. by focusing on the more affluent customer.
It’s added more fresh produce and other higherquality products.
“We are creating a new Sam’s Club for our
members,” said CEO John Furner. He says the
chain is targeting suburban families with children
who have annual incomes between $75,000 and
$125,000 — which closely tracks Costco’s core
customers.
Last month, Sam’s Club started closing 63 U.S.
clubs and said it would convert up to a dozen
of them to e-commerce fulfillment centers so it
can be faster with deliveries. The idea is to get
the fulfillment centers closer to the customers’
homes.
Making Change at Walmart, a campaign backed
by the United Food and Commercial Workers
International Union, estimated at the time that
the closures could affect about 10,000 jobs. Sam’s
Club executives said that it’s too early to tell how
many workers who lost their jobs at the stores will
get new positions.
Uber’s net loss
widens to $4.5 billion
for tumultuous 2017
By Tom Krisher
AP Auto Writer
Markets Q&A: Is the worst of stock market turmoil over?
NEW YORK (AP) — Is it safe to
come out now?
The stock market has found firmer footing following its breathtaking drop earlier this month, when
the S&P 500 lost 10.2 percent
in just nine days. Stocks climbed
Tuesday for the third straight day,
and the S&P 500 is now down less
than 8 percent from its record high,
set on Jan. 26.
But investors have seen this
playbook before. In past recoveries,
it has sometimes taken months or
more for momentum to fully turn
around. And in a sign of how edgy
markets remains, stock markets
around the world quivered following a report on U.S. inflation, which
was higher than economists expected. European stock markets flipped
from gains to losses after the
release, while U.S. stock indexes
and U.S. Treasury bond prices fell.
Here’s a look at what history
shows about past corrections, and
what market watchers are expecting going forward.
Q: How bad was this market
drop?
A: Drops of 10 percent or more
for stocks are regular occurrences
but the speed with which this last
correction struck was unusual.
Only 19 times since World War II
has the S&P 500 lost at least 10
percent in 10 days or fewer, according to strategists at UBS.
Besides this month’s sell-off,
those rapid retreats include a drop
in August 2015 sparked by worries
about slowing economic growth
for China and a plunge in August
2011 after the U.S. credit rating got
downgraded from AAA and worries about Europe’s debt crisis were
near their peak.
Q: What happened after the last
such corrections?
A: Months of muddling along.
In August 2015, the S&P 500 lost
11.1 percent in six days. That was
followed by two straight days of big
gains, each at least 2.4 percent, a
sign that the worst could be over.
But stocks ended up bobbing
higher and lower for months. The
market recovered all its losses by
November, only to fall back into
correction territory again by the
ensuing January. It took 15 months
for the index to climb 5 percent
above where it was when the
August 2015 slide began.
After the 2011 correction, where
the S&P 500 at one point fell 11.2
percent in three days, it took nearly
three months for the index to claw
back all those losses.
Q: So, is this most recent correction all over?
A: In truth, no one knows. But
many market pros say that they’re
confident the stock market will
recover and eventually reach new
heights. They don’t see this as
another market catastrophe like the
Great Recession.
“I think the big one will come
at some point, but typically to get
a sustained drawdown you have
to have a recession,” said Brad
McMillan, chief investment officer
at Commonwealth Financial Network. “We’re not looking like we’ll
have one of those for at least six
months.”
Plus, corporate earnings are
going up. Seventy percent of the
companies in the S&P 500 index
have reported how much they
earned in the last three months of
2017, and they’re on pace to show
growth of nearly 15 percent from
a year earlier, according to S&P
Global Market Intelligence.
Q: What could trip things up?
A: The threat of higher inflation — and of the Federal Reserve
jacking up interest rates quickly in
response — is what triggered this
most recent sell-off.
Those worries intensified on
Wednesday after a report showed
that consumer prices rose 0.5 percent last month from December.
More troubling is that inflation rose
faster than economists expected
even after ignoring food and energy
prices, which are notoriously
jumpy. The report pushed Treasury
yields higher and initially weighed
on stock markets around the world.
If inflation proves to be higher
than the market expects, it could
trigger another sell-off in bonds
that carries over into the stock
market.
The markets will be watching
new Fed Chairman Jerome Powell
when he deliver a report on monetary policy to the House of Representatives on Feb. 28, and when he
holds a scheduled press conference
following the Fed’s next policymaking meeting on March 21.
Q: Before this month’s drop, analysts were saying the stock market
was expensive. Is it cheap now?
A: It’s cheaper, but not necessarily cheap.
Analysts look at several measures
to gauge how expensive stocks
are, and many of these measures
are lower than they were a couple
weeks ago but still above their longterm averages.
The S&P 500 trades at 16.8
times its expected earnings
over the coming 12 months, for
example. That’s a more attractive
price-earnings ratio than the 18.6
it sported when the index set its
record on Jan. 26. But it remains
more expensive than its median of
14.8 over the last 15 years.
“Back in 2009, I knew that it
couldn’t go much lower because I’d
never in my life seen valuations as
good as they were, but we’re not at
that point yet,” said David Brown,
chief market strategist at Sabrient
Systems.
Q: Is everyone optimistic?
A: No. Some skeptics say they
would feel more comfortable if
stocks had fallen enough to clearly
qualify as “cheap.”
And while most economists are
confident the economy will keep
growing in 2018, some investors
are warning about the years following.
“The risks of a recession in the
next 18-24 months are rising,”
hedge fund titan Ray Dalio wrote
in a recent post on LinkedIn, as the
Federal Reserve feels more pressure
to raise interest rates when wages
are rising and a growing economy
is getting more stimulus.
Ride-hailing giant Uber’s full-year net loss
widened to $4.5 billion in 2017 as the company
endured a tumultuous year that included multiple
scandals, a lawsuit alleging the theft of trade
secrets and the replacement of its CEO.
The results also showed that Uber cut its fourthquarter net loss by 25 percent from the third
quarter as new CEO Dara Khosrowshahi moves to
make the company profitable ahead of a planned
initial public stock offering sometime next year.
The full-year loss grew from $2.8 billion in 2016,
a year with results skewed by a gain from the sale
of Uber’s unprofitable business in China. Uber also
said its U.S. ride-hailing market share fell from 82
percent at the start of last year to 70 percent in
the fourth quarter. Uber said the share has now
stabilized.
Gross revenue for the year rose 85 percent over
2016, to $37 billion.
For the fourth quarter, Uber’s net loss was $1.1
billion, down from $1.46 billion it lost in the third
quarter. Bookings from fares rose 14 percent to
just over $11 billion for the quarter.
While the losses are significant, the results
still are positive for Uber with revenue rising and
losses falling in three of four quarters in 2017, said
Rohit Kulkarni, managing director of SharesPost,
a research group focused on privately held companies. The numbers show that Uber under Khosrowshahi is on a path toward profitability and a
sustainable economic model, Kulkarni said. “If you
draw that out further, a year from now, this could
be a significant IPO waiting to happen,” he said.
Uber considers adjusted earnings before taxes as
a better indicator of its financial performance rather than net earnings based on Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles, which include losses
for accounting purposes. On an adjusted basis,
excluding stock-based compensation, legal costs,
taxes and depreciation, the company lost $2.2 billion for the full year. The fourth-quarter adjusted
loss was $475 million, down from $606 million to
in the third quarter.
San Francisco-based Uber Technologies Inc.’s
results are difficult to report because only pieces
are released. Khosrowshahi detailed them on a
conference call with investors Tuesday, and the
company made some results public by giving them
to a website called The Information.
A person briefed on the results provided some
numbers and confirmed the accuracy of The
Information’s story to The Associated Press on
Wednesday. The person didn’t want to be identified because Uber remains a private company.
Last year was a particularly bad one for Uber
with its reputation tarnished by the company’s
acknowledgement of rampant sexual harassment
within its ranks, a yearlong cover-up of a major
computer break-in, and the use of duplicitous software to thwart government regulators.

Emergency HEAP continues through March 31
By Gallia-Meigs
Community Action Agency
For OVP
OHIO VALLEY — The Gallia Meigs Community Action
Agency is reminding customers that it still has assistance
for heating utilities with its
Winter HEAP program to
assist customers with their
main heating utility and/or
furnace repair.
Gallia Meigs C.A.A.’s
Emergency HEAP Program
started on Nov. 1, 2017, and
will continue through March
31. All clients can contact
the agency through the new
automated system for making
appointments. The busiest
time of day to call is the mornings, and if you wait until the
afternoon or later, customers
are saying it is easier. The
IVR System, (Interactive
Voice Response System),
gives customers access 7 days
a week/24 hours a day for
making their appointment by
phoning in. The new number
is toll free, 1-866-409-1361.
The agency is hoping that all
customers find this to be a
great tool in helping schedule
an appointment. Customers

Anderson said he
is working on getting a Nature Works
grant from the Ohio
Department of Natural
Resources for further
park improvements
throughout the village.
He said the application
for the grant is due in
May. Anderson added
the Meigs County

vendors to set up, and
churches or any other

may set up for free.
Fiscal Officer Sue

to utilize in the village.
She said the individual
would work two days a
week for several hours
each day and would
begin work with a job
coach until the individual was comfortable
with independent work.
The council approved
to have Baker and

for the individual to do
within the village.

account number in order
to make an appointment.
However, please note, an
appointment may not extend a
scheduled utility shut-off. And
always wait until the end of
the recording to receive your
confirmation number. Without
a confirmation number, your
appointment has not been
made.
Emergency HEAP provides
assistance to households that
have had utilities disconnected, face the threat of disconnection, or have 25 percent or
less supply of bulk fuel, or less
than 10 day supply of wood
or coal. The program allows
a one-time payment per heating season to restore or retain
home heating. The potential
dollar amount will be up to
$175 for regulated utilities, up
to $550 for unregulated utilities, up to $450 for wood, coal
or pellets and up to $750 for
propane/fuel oil, etc., and up
to eight cylinders of propane.
The income guidelines for
Regular HEAP and Emergency
HEAP are the same. However,
Regular HEAP requires the
previous 12 months income
while the past three months
income is acceptable for Emergency HEAP. The 12-month
period or three-month period
for the help is determined
from date of application making it possible for some with
decreased income during
these periods to qualify later
in the program. Examples
of these types of situations
could occur from layoff, strike,
retirement, disability or death
of a spouse or household
member. Documentation verifying ALL household income
must be provided when applying for HEAP. Child Support
must be verified, for the last
three months and up to five
days from your appointment.
Also a copy of the applicant’s
most recent gas/electric bill
is required. It is also required
that you provide social security cards, for all household
members. You will also be
asked for proof of landlord,
including address and phone
number. If the grandparents
have custody of the children
in the home, we will need the
custody papers also.
The following income levels
by household size should be
used to determine eligibility. These income guidelines
represent the 175 percent
calculation and are revised
annually. Allowable annual
income for a one person
household is $21,105; two
persons, $28,420; three
persons, $35,735; four persons, $43,050; five persons,
$50,365; and six persons,
$57,680; seven persons,
$64,995; eight persons,
$72,310. Households with
more than eight members
should add an additional
$1,828 per member to the
yearly income.
Both Emergency HEAP and
Regular HEAP applications
will be completed at both (2)
offices; Central Office, Gallia
County at 8010 North State
Route 7, Cheshire or the
Meigs County Office at 1369
Powell Street, Middleport.
Appointments will be made by
our IVR System, appointment
times will range from 9-10:30
a.m. and from 1-3 p.m., Monday through Thursday. Friday,
9-10:30 a.m. We will see

Eagles fend
off Federal
Hocking, 52-38
By Alex Hawley
ahawley@aimmediamidwest.com
STEWART, Ohio — The Eagle defense set the
tone early and never looked back.
Eastern held Tri-Valley Conference Hocking
Division host Federal Hocking to just two points
in the opening eight minutes of Tuesday’s boys
basketball contest inside McInturf Gymnasium,
and the visiting Eagles soared to a 52-38 victory.
Eastern (8-12, 4-10 TVC Hocking) led 9-2 at the
conclusion of the first period and stretched its lead
to 12 points, at 24-12, by halftime.
The Lancers (2-18, 2-13) were back within
single digits after a 12-to-7 run in the third quarter, but the Eagle offense saved its best for last,
outscoring FHHS 21-to-14 in the fourth to seal the
52-38 triumph.
In the win, Eastern shot 19-of-43 (44.2 percent)
from the field, including 1-of-7 (14.2 percent)
from beyond the arc. Meanwhile, the Lancers shot
16-of-45 (35.6 percent) from the field, including
5-of-16 (31.2 percent) from deep.
At the foul line, EHS shot 13-of-19 (68.4 percent) and FHHS shot 1-of-3 (33.3 percent).
Eastern claimed a narrow 27-to-26 rebounding
edge, while also picking up a 15-to-9 advantage
in assists and a 5-to-4 edge in blocked shots. The
Eagles committed a dozen turnovers, two fewer
than the hosts, while claiming a 7-to-5 steals
advantage.
EHS sophomore Garrett Barringer led the victors with 23 points on eight field goals and a 7-of-9

Belpre outlasts Tornadoes, 93-82
By Alex Hawley
ahawley@aimmediamidwest.com
BELPRE, Ohio — An
offensive showcase.
The Southern boys
basketball team dropped
a 93-82 decision to TriValley Conference Hocking Division host Belpre
on Tuesday evening in
Washington County, with
the teams combining for
63 field goals in the contest.
Southern (13-7, 10-5
TVC Hocking) — which
has now dropped back-toback games to BHS, ending a seven-game winning
streak — led by a narrow
20-to-18 count after one
quarter of play.
However, Belpre (12-9,
11-4) — riding a fivegame winning streak —
went on a 27-to-15 run in
the second quarter and
enjoyed a 45-35 lead at
halftime.
The Golden Eagles
added four more to their
lead in the third period,
outscoring the Tornadoes
by a 22-18 clip to make
the margin 67-53 with
eight minutes to play.
The SHS offense saved
its best for last, scoring
29 points in the fourth
quarter, but Belpre scored
26 in the stanza and
sealed the 93-82 victory.
The Purple and Gold
were led by senior Dylan
Smith, who hit one threepointer and finished with
23 points. Next was Trey
McNickle with 17 points,
13 of which came in the
fourth quarter.
Brayden Cunningham
contributed 15 points
to the Tornado cause,
Weston Thorla chipped
in with eight, while
Jensen Anderson and
Austin Baker added seven
apiece, with Anderson
making a three-pointer.
Coltin Parker and Larry
Dunn rounded out the
SHS total with three and
two points respectively.
Lady Cats knock off OVCS, 37-25
By Scott Jones

GALLIPOLIS, Ohio
— Early momentum can
often be enough to secure
a victory.
The visiting Hannan
girls basketball held a
14-2 lead over Ohio Valley Christian at the end of
the first quarter on Tuesday night and carried that
momentum the rest of the
way to earn a 37-25 victory in Gallia County.
The Lady Wildcats
(4-16) held the Lady
Defenders (3-14) to a
single field goal in the
opening frame, while
gathering 16 rebounds to
build a 12-point advantage entering the second
quarter.
Both teams struggled
in the second period, as
HHS made just 2-of-22
shot attempts from the
field. In contrast, OVCS
made only 2-of-7 field
goal attempts, while committing 10 turnovers, and
entered the locker room
trailing by a score of 18-6.
Hannan built its
12-point lead at halftime
by way of a 7-of-43 effort
from the field for 16 percent, including a 1-of-7
from beyond the arc for
14 percent. The Blue
and White collected 28
rebounds and committed
seven turnovers. HHS
was also 3-of-6 from the
free throw line for 50 percent in the first half.
Ohio Valley Christian
made 3-of-19 field goal
attempts for 15 percent,
including 0-of-4 from
three-point range. The
Blue and Yellow gathered
18 rebounds and committed 18 turnovers in the
first half. OVCS also went
0-of-3 from the charity
stripe.
The Lady Wildcats held
the Lady Defenders scoreless over a span of 6:49 of
the third period, as they
utilized an 11-2 run to
enter the finale leading
29-8.
OVCS cut the deficit
to 10 points with 1:53
remaining in the contest,
but a three-point play
Hannan’s Bailey Coleman
halted any hopes of comeback as the Lady Defenders’ 17-8 run to close the
game wasn’t enough to
prevent a 12-point loss.
“We played well for four
quarters,” Hannan head
coach Kellie Thomas said
following the game. “I’m
hoping we can carry it
over to Thursday night
Wildcats

their shots.”
The Blue and White
finished the contest with
a 31-of-76 performance
from the field for 40 percent, including an 8-of-22
effort from three-point
range for 36 percent.
HHS also went 4-of-5
from the charity stripe
Brandon Simoniette
led the Golden Eagles
with 23 points, followed
by Connor Baker with
15 and Bailey Sprague
with 14. Logan Adams
and Nate Godfrey came
up with 12 points apiece,
Ryan Simoniette added
nine, while Cole Knotts
and Jeremiah Stitt both
finished with four.
Southern was 12-of-23
(52.2 percent) from the
free throw line, where
Belpre shot 32-of-40 (80
percent), including 14-of20 (70 percent) in the
fourth quarter.
The Golden Eagles
also defeated Southern
in Racine on Saturday by
an 84-74 final. That was
Belpre’s highest scoring
game of the year before
Tuesday.
Southern returns to
Racine for the final time
this season on Saturday
to face Wahama.

season game and I’d like
to be able to send our
seniors out on a good
note.
“With this win, we were
able to be comfortable.
I think that’s the most
rebounds we’ve ever had
in a game. We practice a
lot on boxing out and getting position and I think
tonight it finally clicked
and we were able to do
that.”
For OVCS head coach
Chris Burnett, it was a
game that his players
could learn from.
“Our starting five were
making mistakes early,”
Burnett said. “We put
the bench in the last four
minutes of the second
quarter and they started
the second half. I think
that showed the girls that
normally start that if they
step it up and play as
team and with confidence
we play a lot better.
“We’ve had games
where teams have gotten
to shoot until they score.
We rebounded stronger
tonight, but once we get
that rebound we have to
take care of it. It’s getting
late in the season and we
are still a work in progress but we are getting
better.”

TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) — Jaelen Sanford scored
21 points on 6-of-9 shooting and Tre’Shaun

Toledo beat Ohio 82-74 on Tuesday night for its

never closer than 11
points the rest of the way
and the guests led by as
much as 29 points (6435) with 22 seconds left
in regulation.
The Blue Devils led
by at least three possessions over the final 19
minutes of the game and
dominated the boards by
a 44-22 overall margin,
including a 14-5 edge on
the offensive glass. Both
teams also committed 10
turnovers apiece.
Gallia Academy also
claimed a season sweep
of River Valley after posting a 68-28 decision in
Centenary back on Dec.
22, 2017. The Blue Devils have now won four
straight in the head-tohead series as well.
The Blue Devils shot
48 percent from the field
and had nine players
reach the scoring column,
but it was a 37-18 second
half charge that ultimately
allowed the guests to surpass last year’s win total.
Afterwards, GAHS
coach Gary Harrison
noted that River Valley
put up a very courageous
effort … but he also pointed out that his troops can
wear opponents down
when they stick to what
works.
“The thing about these
rivalry games is that
sometimes kids try to do
some stuff they haven’t
done all year. Early on, I
thought we were a little
too caught up in going
one-on-one and we didn’t
play our team basketball,”
Harrison said. “Once we
started to settle down
and get the ball inside to
Zach, everything else just
kind of opened up from
there.
“We did a good job
of wearing them down
in the second half, and
there really isn’t anyone
in southeast Ohio that
can stop Zach outside of
Zach. Hat’s off to River
Valley, though, for the battle they gave us tonight.”
River Valley never
made more than four field
goals in any one quarter
and finished the night just
26 percent from the field,
yet found themselves facing a single-digit deficit
(35-26) with 3:06 left in
the third canto.
Loveday and Logan
Blouir combined on a 7-2
run to close out the period, which gave the guests
a 14-point edge. GAHS
hit five of its first six shot
attempts as part of a 22-9
fourth quarter run.
After the game, RVHS
coach Bryan Drummond
was disappointed in the
final outcome … but that
was about the only flaw
he could find.
“We missed a few
shots that we could have
made and I still think
we haven’t play our best
game yet, but I cannot
fault our kids and their
effort tonight,” Drum-
mond said. “Honestly,
this was probably the best
effort that this team has
given all year long.
“Hopefully we can keep
that effort up in practice
as we get ready for the
Meigs game on Friday
night.”
Evan Wiseman scored
seven points during that
early 11-0 run, but the Silver and Black countered
with a 10-2 run over the
final 3:57 to pull within a
possession at 13-10.
Loveday’s first dunk of
the night, off an alley-oop
lob from Caleb Henry,
came with controversy
five seconds into the second frame as the sophomore was whistled for a
technical foul for hanging
on the rim.
Jarret McCarley made
one of the subsequent
free throws, then Layne
Fitch buried a trifecta at
the 7:24 mark while closing the deficit down to
15-14. The Blue Devils
made a 12-3 run over the
next six-plus minutes and
eventually entered the
break up 27-19.
Gallia Academy
made 26-of-54 field goal
attempts overall, including a 5-of-15 effort from
three-point range for 33
percent. The guests were
also 7-of-13 at the free
throw line for 54 percent.
Blouir followed Loveday with nine points,
while Wiseman and
Cory Call each contributed seven markers. Cole
Davis, Justin McClelland
and Gage Harrison were
next with three points
apiece, with Henry and
Kaden Thomas rounding
things out with respective
efforts of two points and
one point.
Call grabbed 10
rebounds and McClelland
also hauled in five caroms
for the victors.
River Valley netted 13-of-50 total shot
attempts, including a 4-of16 effort from three-point
range for 25 percent. The
hosts were also 7-of-12 at
the charity stripe for 58
percent.
McCarley led the Silver and Black with 11
points and Fitch added
10 points, while Dustin
Barber and Patrick Brown
each chipped in five markers. Jordan Lambert was
next with four points,
with Kyle Coen completing things with two
points.
Fitch, Brown and Matthew Mollohan grabbed
five rebounds apiece in
the setback.
RVHS honored seniors
Dustin Barber, Patrick
Brown, Kyle Coen and

James’ 37 lead Cavaliers past Thunder 120-112
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) —
LeBron James and his new teammates are playing like old buddies.
James scored 37 points, and the
new-look Cleveland Cavaliers got
a much different result this time
against the Oklahoma City Thunder
in a 120-112 victory on Tuesday
night.
Cleveland claimed its second
straight win since adding George
Hill, Rodney Hood, Jordan Clarkson
and Larry Nance Jr. in trades, and
their fourth straight victory overall.
The Cavaliers lost to the Thunder
148-124 on Jan. 20 with a very different roster.
“It’s a change of scenery and
they’re just trying to take advantage
of it,” James said. “For the guys that
were here, we’re just trying to make
them as comfortable as possible.
Make the transition as seamless as
possible.”
Thunder coach Billy Donovan
said the changes create a lot of
problems.
“I think their ability to space
it, drive it, kick it, their skill
level, I think — not that it was
bad before, but I think the speed,
probably the tempo and the pace
they are playing at is a little bit
faster,” he said.
Each of Cleveland’s additions
made solid contributions against
Oklahoma City. Hill started at point
guard and went 24 minutes without
a turnover. Hood and Clarkson each
scored 14 points and Nance had 13
points and nine rebounds, including
eight offensive boards.
James praised Cleveland general
manager Koby Altman for getting
what the team needed at the trade
deadline.
“It just wasn’t working out for us.
He made the changes he felt best
fit our team,” James said. “Then,
it’s on me to make sure the new
guys that come in, that they fit in
and make it as seamless as possible.
That’s my job. This is the third
game in a row my voice is gone. So
I am just trying to have communication at an all-time high for us.”
Holdover guard J.R. Smith added
18 points for the Cavaliers. It was

win against top competition — the
Cavaliers rolled past Boston 121-99
on Sunday.
“We’ve got to keep working,”
Cleveland coach Tyronn Lue said.
“It’s a process. You’ve got to keep
playing well, keep getting better
and hit that stride late.”
Paul George scored 25 points and
Carmelo Anthony 24 for the Thunder. Steven Adams added 22 points
and 17 rebounds, and Russell Westbrook scored 21 points. Westbrook
and Anthony had missed the past
two games with sprained ankles.
Westbrook had 12 assists and
seven rebounds, but he made just 7
of 19 shots.
“This guy has been an ironman
for so long, but when you miss two
games and practices and you have
one day to get back, there could
have been, for him, trying to work
his way back in to where he was,’”
Donovan said. “He’s never going to
make an excuse about his ankle or
how he feels or anything else. He
gave everything, as he always does,
to try to win.”
James scored 14 points in the
first five minutes of the third quarter, including two 3-pointers, to
give Cleveland a 78-68 lead. He was
6 for 6 from the field during that
stretch. The Thunder responded
with an 8-0 run to get back into the
game. Cleveland took a 91-87 edge
into the fourth quarter.
The Cavaliers took control in the
fourth, and a layup by James after
driving on George pushed the Cavaliers ahead 115-106 with 49 seconds
to play.
The Thunder trimmed their deficit to five in the final minute and
could have come closer, but Alex
Abrines missed a 3-pointer, and
Nance got free for a dunk to seal the
win for Cleveland.
The Cavaliers led 62-57 at halftime. James had 16 points, four
rebounds and five assists, and
Smith had 15 points on five 3-pointers. Adams scored 15 points before
the break for Oklahoma City.
