Admirers like those at the recent state high school tournament followed Mayo through a remarkable but troubled senior season that included a three-game suspension, two losses and a drug charge -- and ended with a championship. "We had a lot of bumps and bruises, a lot of ups and down. This most definitely wasn't an easy ride," Mayo told The Associated Press. "But we stuck together like a family and we finished it off well." · Guess what, kid'? It only gets tougher from here. After a trip to Louisville. Ky .• this week to play in the McDonald 's AllAmerican ~arne with Huntington H1gh teammate Patrick Patterson, Mayo is off to Southern Cal in the fall. It's a significant step for the 6-foot-5 Mayo, whose talent has been followed since he was recruited to play high school ball in Kentucky as a seventh grader. Yet Mayo. who thinks of himself more as a regular 19-year-old than a celebri ty, remains grounded in the lessons of respect and responsibility taught by his mother, Alisha. and his AAU coach and legal guardian, Dwaine Barnes. He often responds to question s with. "Yes, sir." During games he raises his hand and looks toward the scorer's table when a foul is called on him. He goes to Huntington's A.D . Lewis Community Center several times a week to play in a pickup game or remind children about the importance of staying in school. Mayo did, although his high school career spanned three states and six years. He transferred out of Kentucky with current Kansas State player and Huntington native Bill Walker to Cincinnati 's North College Hill in 2003 · where they won two Ohio Division Ill championships and Mayo twice wa s named state player of the year.

ANNIE'S MAILBOX Teen copes with childhood fixation MSWCD tree sales underway BY KATHY MITCHELL AND MARCY SUGAR Dear Annie: I am a 13year-old girl and a good student. I love my lite el\cept for one thing. I sti ll suck my fingers. When I was a baby, I never used a pacil1er. I used my .fingers. I have tried everything to yuit. I did manage to give it up for about a year when my grandmother and I had a contest (if I stopped sucking my fingers, she would quit smoking). But when she died of breast cancer. I took it really hard and started sucking my fingers more than ever. I realize that I put them in my mouth unconsciously. and when I do, I feel better. All my problems go away. Now I can't sleep unless two fingers are in my mouth . I know it's unhealthy and I want to stop. but I don' t know how. Please give me some tips.

You also ~:an try substituting something else when you are under stre~s. like painting. playing a videogarne_ drinking a cup of hot tea. or calling a friend (text-messaging is ideal. since it would occupy your fingers).

Thought for Today: "Fanaticism consists in redoubling your effon when you have forgotten your aim." - George Santayana, American philosopher ( 1863-1952 ). OPINION Perhaps the only benefit of having a marathonlength 2008 presidemial campaign is that the gruelmg ordeal may tell us what the candidates are really made of - particularly the . newcomer.

The answer. to this point. is "sometimes yes. sometimes no." In the "yes" category are hi s proposals despite past strong support from teachers union s for pay- for- pe rforma nee experiments in education as well as for higher pay. In a speech at the liberal Center for American Progress ill October 2005, he said that "good schools will require both the structural reform and the reso urces necessary to prepare our kids for the future ." He has proposed to fund "innovation districts" that, among other things, would "work with their unions to uncover bureaucratic obstacles that leave poor kids without good teachers, including hiring, funding and tran sfe r policies." That's not a national or frontal assault on one of we're in. the key problems facing "I am convinced that education- the American whenever we exaggerate or demonize, oversimplify inability of superintenor overstate our case, we dents and p'rincipals to lose . ...

I don ' t know who told them that reading · ~nd writing and conjugatmg your verbs was something 'white."' Along with Republican Sens. Norm Coleman (Minn.), Gordon Smith (Ore.) and Arlen Specter (Pa.). Obama has sponsored a bi II to tighten auto emission standards on a gradual basis while graming flexibility to the auto industry. And he ·s sponsored a "health for hybrids" bill that would grant auto companies relief from some of their health care burdens m exchange for inve stment of half the savings in' fuel-efficient technologies. As one of his staff members told me, Obama is "very undogmatic . His general approach is. 'I am a progressive about ends, but I am a market guy. I am very open to different means.''' On the negative side. however, Obama declined to join the bipartisan " Gang of 14" coalition to prevent Democratic fili busters of President Bush's judicial nominations and block a GOP effort to alter Seriate rules limiting the right to fili buster. In his book, Obama says that while he understands and even sympathizes with some of the views of judicial conservatives, he couldn't bring himself to help Bush's nominees take the appellate bench. As conservative critics have noted, even though Obama shows respect for Republicans and conservatives. he almost always comes down on the liberal side, producing National Journal and Congressional Quarterly ratings at the left end of the Democratic Caucus. On foreign policy, Obama has proposed beginning U.S. troop withdrawals from Iraq starting 111 May regardless of some evidence of recent military progress in Baghdad - but also says he favors leaving "a limit ed number of troops" to prevent Iraq from "becoming a haven for international terrorism and reduce the risk of all-out chaos." It ' s hard to see how a limited number of troops could do what 140,000 troops can't - especially after the United States has pulled out in the face of difficulty. This long campaign will present Obama with chances to answer whether he can come up with large programs that might achieve consensus and success - for instance, a universal health plan that includes market incentives to keep down costs. The nation also needs a long-term fiscal fix that involves both higher revenues (which fellow Democrats favor) and reductions in the growth of promised benefits (which they don 'I). plus measures to Increase Americans' personal savi ngs . The record so far shows signs that Obama can be a tough campaigner. He got to the Illinois Senate by boldly challenging signature s on the candidacy petitions of a powerful incumbent. Yet in keeping with his promise s of comity, he has declined to engage in ferocious public fights with his Democratic rivals, especially Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (N.Y.). · FinaUy, there remams the question of inexperi· ence with national and international affairs. A from bu sinessman Chicago told me recently, "Obama 's a fine young man , but the presidency is not an entry-level job." Over the next year, we should find out whether this 46-year-old freshman senator is up to the job. (Monon Kondra cke is executi"e editor of Roll Cedi. the nell'spaper of Capitol Hill.)

William Wallace , who oversees training for the Army, to review the actions of the officers and to provide a progress report in 30 days. The Army will take corrective action and hold people accountable, said Geren, who also issued an apology. " We as an Army failed in our duty to the Tillman family, the duty we owe to all the families of our fallen soldiers : Give them the truth, the best we know it, as fast as we can," Geren told reporters at the Penta~on . "Our failure in fulfilling this duty brought discredit to the Army and compounded the grief suffered by the Tillman family. For that, on behalf of the Army, I apologize to the Tillman family." Investigators said there was no broad effort to conceal information. Though dozens of soldiers knew quickly that Tillman had been killed by his fellow troops, the Army said initially that he was killed by enemy gunfire when he led his team to help another group of ambushed soldiers. It was live weeks before his family was told the truth, a delay the Army has blamed on procedural mistakes. "We thought there was never an attempt to cover up that we ·saw," Defense Department Acting Inspector General Thomas F. Gimhle said during a Pentagon briefing as the military released two repons, one by the Army Criminal Investigation Command and the other by the inspector general. Tillman's death received worldwide attention because he had walked away from a huge contract with the National Football League's Arizona Cardinals to enlist in the Army after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11,2001. The highest current ranking officer blamed in the incident is Lt. Gen. Stanley McChrystal, commander of the Joint Special Operations Command. Investigators said he was "accountable for the inaccurate and misleading assertions" contained in the papers recommending that Tillman get the Silver Star award. Also criticized in the investigation were Lt. Gen. Philip Kensinger, the nowretired three-star general who was in charge of Army special operations, as well as Tillman's regimental commander, now-Brig. Gen. James C. Nixon, who w;~s a colonel at the time. Nixon is now director of operations at the Center for Special Operations at MacDill Air Force Base in Florida. Using photogmphs, charts and a video reenactment of the day's events, investiga- tors walked reporters through a minute-by-minute accounting of Tillman's death in the rock~ t.\fghanistan hills on Apnl 22, 2004 The inspector general investigation also recommended that the Army review its award of the Silver Star to Tillman, but Geren said the award would stand . Gimble said some information provided to jus. tify the citation was inaccurate. Republican presidential hopeful John McCain, campaigning in Texas on Monday. called it a "travesty" that the events surrounding Tillman's death were "covered up, if not distorted." McCain emphasized that he hadn 't actually seen the repon but said he was familiar with it. "An ine,.cusable cover-up took place regarding the cir· cumstances of Pat Tillman's death," said McCain, RAriz. President Bush has been keeping apprised of developments In the Tillman case and "wants to learn more," White House spokeswoman Dana Perino said. She said the president, like Defense Secretary Ruben Gates, has "very serious concerns" about the events surrounding Tillman's death , his family ' s notification and the performance of military personnel. Outgoing U.S. envoy says talks with insurgents focused on joining forces against al-Qaida BY KIM GAMEL ASSOCIATEO PRESS WRITER BAGHDAD -· The U.S. military announced on Monday the capture of leaders of a car-bombing ring blamed for killing hundreds of Iraqis and the departing U.S. ambassador said Americans are in ongoing talks with insurgent reprc.sentatives to try to persuade them to tum against alQaida. The U.S. command said one of the car-bombers, Haitham al-Shimari, was suspected in the "planning and execution of the majority of car bombs which have killed hundred~ of Iraqi citizens in Sadr City," a Shiite enclave of Baghdad. Another, identified as Haidar al-Jafar. was second-in-command of a cell that killed some 900 "innocent" Iraqis and wounded almost 2,000, the military said. Three other men believed connected to that cell also were in custody. The suspected bombers were- rounded up last week by American forces during continuing security sweeps in Azamiyah, the Sunni stronghold in nonhern Baghdad, the military statement said: In a farewell news conference, outgoing U.S. Ambassador Zalmay Khalilzad said American Embassy and Iraqi officials had talked to people representing insurgent groups But he ruled out .contact with al-Qaida in Iraq, which has been blamed for many suicide bombings. "We have had discussions with those groups," Khalilzad said. "They are continuing to take place and I think one of the challenges is how t9 separate more and more ~roups away from a\Qaida.' U.S . officials have been workin~ for years to encourage dmlogue with Iraqi groups_ - including major A&t;~ The 12 Dancing Sunni insurgent groups, except al-Qaida. Khalilzad has said previously that U.S. officials have met with people linked to the Sunni in surgency, and the new top U.S. general in IraQ, Gen. David Petraeus, said this month that dialogue was necessary because force alone cannot halt the violence. But Khalilzad said Monday that the talks have shifted from "unreasonable demands" by the groups for a U.S. withdrawal to forming an alliance against al-Qaida. He said the effon has gained suppon among tribal leaders and even some insurgents. "Iraqis are uniting against al-Qaida," he said. "Coalition commanders have been able to engage some insurgents to explore ways to collaborate in lighting the terrorists. These insurgents are also in touch with the government seeking reconciliation and cooperation in the fight against the al-Qaida terrorists and joining the government in a reconciliation program." The Afghan-born diplomat, who has been nominated by President Bush to be ambassador to the United Nations, said the U.S. hopes to build on that momentum. "We have talked to grou~s who have not panicipated m the political process, who have ties with some of the insurgent groups who are reconcilable insurgents," he said. "The terrorists are irreconcilable. There cannot be reconciliation with alQaida. They have to be brought to justice, but there are groups that resisted the democratic change, the ch311ge in Iraq." The ambassador said he was cautiously optimistic about effons to bring stability to Iraq. "In my view, though difficult challenges lie ahead and there is a long way~ Iraq is fundamentally in the right direction and success is possible," he said. pointing to a nearly 2S percent reduction in violence during a six-week-old security crackdown in Baghdacl as well as economic progress. He acknowledged. however, that he was leaving his post with a litiiny of unfin- . ished business, including an oil law that is waiting for parliamentary al'\'roval, and he called on lraq1 leaders to make progress on legislative and political measures to bring disaffected Sunnis into the political fold. "Iraqis must not lose this opportunity, and they must step up and take the tough decisions necessary for success," Khalilzad said. RIVERVIEW Chiropractic Center Dr. Grqory L.

The answer. to this point. is "sometimes yes. sometimes no." In the "yes" category are hi s proposals despite past strong support from teachers union s for pay- for- pe rforma nee experiments in education as well as for higher pay. In a speech at the liberal Center for American Progress ill October 2005, he said that "good schools will require both the structural reform and the reso urces necessary to prepare our kids for the future ." He has proposed to fund "innovation districts" that, among other things, would "work with their unions to uncover bureaucratic obstacles that leave poor kids without good teachers, including hiring, funding and tran sfe r policies."

I don ' t know who told them that reading · ~nd writing and conjugatmg your verbs was something 'white."' Along with Republican Sens. Norm Coleman (Minn.), Gordon Smith (Ore.) and Arlen Specter (Pa.). Obama has sponsored a bi II to tighten auto emission standards on a gradual basis while graming flexibility to the auto industry. And he ·s sponsored a "health for hybrids" bill that would grant auto companies relief from some of their health care burdens m exchange for inve stment of half the savings in' fuel-efficient technologies. As one of his staff members told me, Obama is "very undogmatic . His general approach is. 'I am a progressive about ends, but I am a market guy. I am very open to different means.''' On the negative side. however, Obama declined to join the bipartisan " Gang of 14" coalition to prevent Democratic fili busters of President Bush's judicial nominations and block a GOP effort to alter Seriate rules limiting the right to fili buster. In his book, Obama says that while he understands and even sympathizes with some of the views of judicial conservatives, he couldn't bring himself to help Bush's nominees take the appellate bench. As conservative critics have noted, even though Obama shows respect for Republicans and conservatives. he almost always comes down on the liberal side, producing National Journal and Congressional Quarterly ratings at the left end of the Democratic Caucus. On foreign policy, Obama has proposed beginning U.S. troop withdrawals from Iraq starting 111 May regardless of some evidence of recent military progress in Baghdad - but also says he favors leaving "a limit ed number of troops" to prevent Iraq from "becoming a haven for international terrorism and reduce the risk of all-out chaos." It ' s hard to see how a limited number of troops could do what 140,000 troops can't - especially after the United States has pulled out in the face of difficulty. This long campaign will present Obama with chances to answer whether he can come up with large programs that might achieve consensus and success - for instance, a universal health plan that includes market incentives to keep down costs. The nation also needs a long-term fiscal fix that involves both higher revenues (which fellow Democrats favor) and reductions in the growth of promised benefits (which they don 'I). plus measures to Increase Americans' personal savi ngs . The record so far shows signs that Obama can be a tough campaigner. He got to the Illinois Senate by boldly challenging signature s on the candidacy petitions of a powerful incumbent. Yet in keeping with his promise s of comity, he has declined to engage in ferocious public fights with his Democratic rivals, especially Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (N.Y.). · FinaUy, there remams the question of inexperi· ence with national and international affairs. A from bu sinessman Chicago told me recently, "Obama 's a fine young man , but the presidency is not an entry-level job." Over the next year, we should find out whether this 46-year-old freshman senator is up to the job. (Monon Kondra cke is executi"e editor of Roll Cedi. the nell'spaper of Capitol Hill.)

Does this give us reason to have confidence in the president? Meanwhile, no one seems to have noticed that the president's Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board - a~pointed by the president as recommended by the 9/11 Commission has been asleep.

William Wallace , who oversees training for the Army, to review the actions of the officers and to provide a progress report in 30 days. The Army will take corrective action and hold people accountable, said Geren, who also issued an apology. " We as an Army failed in our duty to the Tillman family, the duty we owe to all the families of our fallen soldiers : Give them the truth, the best we know it, as fast as we can," Geren told reporters at the Penta~on . "Our failure in fulfilling this duty brought discredit to the Army and compounded the grief suffered by the Tillman family. For that, on behalf of the Army, I apologize to the Tillman family." Investigators said there was no broad effort to conceal information. Though dozens of soldiers knew quickly that Tillman had been killed by his fellow troops, the Army said initially that he was killed by enemy gunfire when he led his team to help another group of ambushed soldiers. It was live weeks before his family was told the truth, a delay the Army has blamed on procedural mistakes. "We thought there was never an attempt to cover up that we ·saw," Defense Department Acting Inspector General Thomas F. Gimhle said during a Pentagon briefing as the military released two repons, one by the Army Criminal Investigation Command and the other by the inspector general. Tillman's death received worldwide attention because he had walked away from a huge contract with the National Football League's Arizona Cardinals to enlist in the Army after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11,2001. The highest current ranking officer blamed in the incident is Lt. Gen. Stanley McChrystal, commander of the Joint Special Operations Command. Investigators said he was "accountable for the inaccurate and misleading assertions" contained in the papers recommending that Tillman get the Silver Star award. Also criticized in the investigation were Lt. Gen. Philip Kensinger, the nowretired three-star general who was in charge of Army special operations, as well as Tillman's regimental commander, now-Brig. Gen. James C. Nixon, who w;~s a colonel at the time. Nixon is now director of operations at the Center for Special Operations at MacDill Air Force Base in Florida. Using photogmphs, charts and a video reenactment of the day's events, investiga- tors walked reporters through a minute-by-minute accounting of Tillman's death in the rock~ t.\fghanistan hills on Apnl 22, 2004 The inspector general investigation also recommended that the Army review its award of the Silver Star to Tillman, but Geren said the award would stand . Gimble said some information provided to jus. tify the citation was inaccurate. Republican presidential hopeful John McCain, campaigning in Texas on Monday. called it a "travesty" that the events surrounding Tillman's death were "covered up, if not distorted." McCain emphasized that he hadn 't actually seen the repon but said he was familiar with it. "An ine,.cusable cover-up took place regarding the cir· cumstances of Pat Tillman's death," said McCain, RAriz. President Bush has been keeping apprised of developments In the Tillman case and "wants to learn more," White House spokeswoman Dana Perino said. She said the president, like Defense Secretary Ruben Gates, has "very serious concerns" about the events surrounding Tillman's death , his family ' s notification and the performance of military personnel. Outgoing U.S. envoy says talks with insurgents focused on joining forces against al-Qaida BY KIM GAMEL ASSOCIATEO PRESS WRITER BAGHDAD -· The U.S. military announced on Monday the capture of leaders of a car-bombing ring blamed for killing hundreds of Iraqis and the departing U.S. ambassador said Americans are in ongoing talks with insurgent reprc.sentatives to try to persuade them to tum against alQaida. The U.S. command said one of the car-bombers, Haitham al-Shimari, was suspected in the "planning and execution of the majority of car bombs which have killed hundred~ of Iraqi citizens in Sadr City," a Shiite enclave of Baghdad. Another, identified as Haidar al-Jafar. was second-in-command of a cell that killed some 900 "innocent" Iraqis and wounded almost 2,000, the military said. Three other men believed connected to that cell also were in custody. The suspected bombers were- rounded up last week by American forces during continuing security sweeps in Azamiyah, the Sunni stronghold in nonhern Baghdad, the military statement said: In a farewell news conference, outgoing U.S. Ambassador Zalmay Khalilzad said American Embassy and Iraqi officials had talked to people representing insurgent groups But he ruled out .contact with al-Qaida in Iraq, which has been blamed for many suicide bombings. "We have had discussions with those groups," Khalilzad said. "They are continuing to take place and I think one of the challenges is how t9 separate more and more ~roups away from a\Qaida.' U.S . officials have been workin~ for years to encourage dmlogue with Iraqi groups_ - including major A&t;~ The 12 Dancing Sunni insurgent groups, except al-Qaida. Khalilzad has said previously that U.S. officials have met with people linked to the Sunni in surgency, and the new top U.S. general in IraQ, Gen. David Petraeus, said this month that dialogue was necessary because force alone cannot halt the violence. But Khalilzad said Monday that the talks have shifted from "unreasonable demands" by the groups for a U.S. withdrawal to forming an alliance against al-Qaida. He said the effon has gained suppon among tribal leaders and even some insurgents. "Iraqis are uniting against al-Qaida," he said. "Coalition commanders have been able to engage some insurgents to explore ways to collaborate in lighting the terrorists. These insurgents are also in touch with the government seeking reconciliation and cooperation in the fight against the al-Qaida terrorists and joining the government in a reconciliation program." The Afghan-born diplomat, who has been nominated by President Bush to be ambassador to the United Nations, said the U.S. hopes to build on that momentum. "We have talked to grou~s who have not panicipated m the political process, who have ties with some of the insurgent groups who are reconcilable insurgents," he said. "The terrorists are irreconcilable. There cannot be reconciliation with alQaida. They have to be brought to justice, but there are groups that resisted the democratic change, the ch311ge in Iraq." The ambassador said he was cautiously optimistic about effons to bring stability to Iraq. "In my view, though difficult challenges lie ahead and there is a long way~ Iraq is fundamentally in the right direction and success is possible," he said. pointing to a nearly 2S percent reduction in violence during a six-week-old security crackdown in Baghdacl as well as economic progress. He acknowledged. however, that he was leaving his post with a litiiny of unfin- . ished business, including an oil law that is waiting for parliamentary al'\'roval, and he called on lraq1 leaders to make progress on legislative and political measures to bring disaffected Sunnis into the political fold. "Iraqis must not lose this opportunity, and they must step up and take the tough decisions necessary for success," Khalilzad said. RIVERVIEW Chiropractic Center Dr. Grqory L.

Six months later. the sensational freshmen - part of a group known as the "Thad Five" - get to see what it's really all aoout. The Buckeyes {34-3) will be there to play Georgetown on Saturday. "That was hopefully great motivation for them," coach Thad Matta said. "I'm sure they forgot about it 10 minutes after the meeting, as kids normally do." That Final Four information was a small part of a manual each player received during the ftrst team meeting in September. "We believed in it from the start," senior Ro~ Lewis said. ''I'm just living a dream." To get to Atlanta. the Buckeyes made two significant comebacks in the NCAA tournament. The Big Ten champions have won 21 straight games, the longest streak in the narion. They won the NCAA South Regional final 92-76 to end Memphis' 25-game winning I be I i e v e d (Matta) the first day I was on campus, when he was recruiting us," Conley said. He showed us the same type of deal and a video of the Final Four. And that definitely stuck in my head through the whole summer workouts and beginning of the year." Oden, the 7-foot AllAmerican who i~ Ohio State's leading scorer and rebounder, and Conley were high school teammates for three straight Indiana state championships. Now they're only two wms f(om Ohio State's ftrst title since 1960. They were pan of Ohio State's most touted recruit· ing classes. along with David Lighty and Daequan Cook and junior college transfer Othello Hunter. The "Thad Five" blended nicely with a group that included junior Jamar Butler and seniors Lewis and Ivan Harris. Butler was the only returning starter from last year's team that won the league title and 26 games before losing to Georgetown in the second round of the NCAA tournament. dous impact," Matta said of the new guys. "Maybe unlike anybody's ever had before wi th the job that they 've done." ·Sti ll. the start of t~e season was t: hallenging without Oden. who was recovering from right wrist surgery and not expected back before January. "That was kind of my big thing- do we have the ability to get to the Final Four when our center's hand won't move'?" Matta said. "The theme song for me. personally. every night when I drove home wa$ the Merle Haggard song, ·If I Make It Through De~:ember."' The Buckeyes didn't have to wait that long. Oden missed the . first seven games. his debut coming only days after the Buckeyes' 98-89 loss to North Carolina. the team that lost to Georgetown (306) in the East Regional final Sunday. He has since averaged 15.5 points. 9.7 rebounds and 3.5 blocks. Despite playing only 24 minutes against Memphis on Saturday, Oden scored 17 points on 7-of-8 shooting and had nine rebounds. During a 4 112-minute span in the second haJf when foul. Ohio State went from live pointl; up to five down. When he came back. he blocked the first shot Memphis attempted and the Buckeyes finished with a 4 1-20 spurt. In the two games before that. the Buckeyes overcame a 20-point deficit to beat Tennessee and came back from II points down in the second half against Xavier. Oden fouled out against Xavier after his hard shove with nine seconds left in regulation. But after Xavier made only one free throw. Lewis hit a tying 3-pointer and Conley scored II points in overtime. The Buckeyes last made the Final Four in 1999. when a team led by Michael Redd and Scoonie Penn lost to eventual national champion Connecticut. That trip later was expunged from the records because of NCAA violations. making their last official appearance in 1968. "I take great pride in the · kids and the work ethic they put in," said Matta, who is 80-21 in three seasons at Ohio State. "But · we don't want to be a team that checks off who made the PinaJ Four and gets our rear ends kicked next Saturday." Gallia Academy rallies back to beat Ironton BY Blwl SttEBSHERMAN®MYDAILYTRIBUNE.c oM GALLIPOLIS - · A newlook Gallia Academy High School baseball team showed that it's not about to relinquish its crown - not while it still has its King. Austin King rut a sixthinning grand sJam that gave his Blue Devils a one-run lead and the defending Southeastern Ohio Athletic League champs took a thrilling come-from-behind 9-8 victory over the Ironton Fighting ligers in the season opener on Monday. King's blast brought his Blue Devils all the way back from an early 6-1 deficit and !lave them an 8-7 edge entermg the final frame. Ironton managed to even the score in the top of the seventh, but Gallia Academy added an unearned run in the bottom half of the inning to emerge victorious. King tinisbed 3-for- 3 on. the afternoon with a pair of doubles to go aJong with his round-tripper. His gamechanging blast also came with two outs. "I put pressure on rum," admitted Gallia Academy coach Rich Corvin. "I told rum that there are II guys depending on him to do something. And he did it." King's homer barely cleared the right field fence. Ironton's Bryon Brammer, who was giving chase to the ball on the play. was injured after he crashed into the fence and laid on the ground for severaJ minutes. Brammer's replacement, Keith Wetzel hit an RBI blooper in the top of the seventh, scoring T.J. Keith. and knotting the score at eight apiece. But the Blue De'lils answered, albeit with a little help from some shoddy Ironton defense . The Tigers committed a pair of fielding mistakes in the frame, the first ·of which put Cody Noble .on third with nobody out. Noble drew a lead-off walk off losing pitcher Chad Miler, who came on in the seventh. Noble stole second, but the throw on the attempt sailed into centerfield, allowing Noble to claim third as well. Two Devils were strikeout victims, leaving the game in the hands of Nick Stevens. Stevens hit a bouncer toward ftrst, but Ironton's Jeremy Moore misplayed it, allowing Noble to score the game-winner. Besides King, John Paul Finnicum was the only other Blue Devils with multiple ruts. both singles. Noble. Austin Roush and Stevens also rut safely for the winners. Ironton's Nick Lewis and David Bridges had two hits each, including doubles. T.J. Keith also had two base knocks. Ace Shawn Thompson went the distance to pick up the pitching victory. Ironton logged nine hits. but many of the runs were unearned, as Gallia Academy committed www:mydailysentlnel.com Tuesday, March 27, 2007 www .mydailysentinel.com six errors on the day. "Thompson pitched a great game, we didn't give him much defensive help," Corvin stated. "We gave up a couple of runs with two outs on some errors. Our defense was not what we expected tonight." The win was Gallia Academy's first over Ironton during the coach Corvin em. which began four seasons ago. And it was the best time to get that flfSt victory, as it is now a league contest with the expansion of the SEOAL. Gallia Academy steps out of league play today to tangle . with visning Chesapeake.

Six months later. the sensational freshmen - part of a group known as the "Thad Five" - get to see what it's really all aoout. The Buckeyes {34-3) will be there to play Georgetown on Saturday. "That was hopefully great motivation for them," coach Thad Matta said. "I'm sure they forgot about it 10 minutes after the meeting, as kids normally do." That Final Four information was a small part of a manual each player received during the ftrst team meeting in September. "We believed in it from the start," senior Ro~ Lewis said. ''I'm just living a dream." To get to Atlanta. the Buckeyes made two significant comebacks in the NCAA tournament. The Big Ten champions have won 21 straight games, the longest streak in the narion. They won the NCAA South Regional final 92-76 to end Memphis' 25-game winning I be I i e v e d (Matta) the first day I was on campus, when he was recruiting us," Conley said. He showed us the same type of deal and a video of the Final Four. And that definitely stuck in my head through the whole summer workouts and beginning of the year." Oden, the 7-foot AllAmerican who i~ Ohio State's leading scorer and rebounder, and Conley were high school teammates for three straight Indiana state championships. Now they're only two wms f(om Ohio State's ftrst title since 1960. They were pan of Ohio State's most touted recruit· ing classes. along with David Lighty and Daequan Cook and junior college transfer Othello Hunter. The "Thad Five" blended nicely with a group that included junior Jamar Butler and seniors Lewis and Ivan Harris. Butler was the only returning starter from last year's team that won the league title and 26 games before losing to Georgetown in the second round of the NCAA tournament. dous impact," Matta said of the new guys. "Maybe unlike anybody's ever had before wi th the job that they 've done." ·Sti ll. the start of t~e season was t: hallenging without Oden. who was recovering from right wrist surgery and not expected back before January. "That was kind of my big thing- do we have the ability to get to the Final Four when our center's hand won't move'?" Matta said. "The theme song for me. personally. every night when I drove home wa$ the Merle Haggard song, ·If I Make It Through De~:ember."' The Buckeyes didn't have to wait that long. Oden missed the . first seven games. his debut coming only days after the Buckeyes' 98-89 loss to North Carolina. the team that lost to Georgetown (306) in the East Regional final Sunday. He has since averaged 15.5 points. 9.7 rebounds and 3.5 blocks. Despite playing only 24 minutes against Memphis on Saturday, Oden scored 17 points on 7-of-8 shooting and had nine rebounds. During a 4 112-minute span in the second haJf when foul. Ohio State went from live pointl; up to five down. When he came back. he blocked the first shot Memphis attempted and the Buckeyes finished with a 4 1-20 spurt. In the two games before that. the Buckeyes overcame a 20-point deficit to beat Tennessee and came back from II points down in the second half against Xavier. Oden fouled out against Xavier after his hard shove with nine seconds left in regulation. But after Xavier made only one free throw. Lewis hit a tying 3-pointer and Conley scored II points in overtime. The Buckeyes last made the Final Four in 1999. when a team led by Michael Redd and Scoonie Penn lost to eventual national champion Connecticut. That trip later was expunged from the records because of NCAA violations. making their last official appearance in 1968. "I take great pride in the · kids and the work ethic they put in," said Matta, who is 80-21 in three seasons at Ohio State. "But · we don't want to be a team that checks off who made the PinaJ Four and gets our rear ends kicked next Saturday." Gallia Academy rallies back to beat Ironton BY Blwl SttEBSHERMAN®MYDAILYTRIBUNE.c oM GALLIPOLIS - · A newlook Gallia Academy High School baseball team showed that it's not about to relinquish its crown - not while it still has its King. Austin King rut a sixthinning grand sJam that gave his Blue Devils a one-run lead and the defending Southeastern Ohio Athletic League champs took a thrilling come-from-behind 9-8 victory over the Ironton Fighting ligers in the season opener on Monday. King's blast brought his Blue Devils all the way back from an early 6-1 deficit and !lave them an 8-7 edge entermg the final frame. Ironton managed to even the score in the top of the seventh, but Gallia Academy added an unearned run in the bottom half of the inning to emerge victorious. King tinisbed 3-for- 3 on. the afternoon with a pair of doubles to go aJong with his round-tripper. His gamechanging blast also came with two outs. "I put pressure on rum," admitted Gallia Academy coach Rich Corvin. "I told rum that there are II guys depending on him to do something. And he did it." King's homer barely cleared the right field fence. Ironton's Bryon Brammer, who was giving chase to the ball on the play. was injured after he crashed into the fence and laid on the ground for severaJ minutes. Brammer's replacement, Keith Wetzel hit an RBI blooper in the top of the seventh, scoring T.J. Keith. and knotting the score at eight apiece. But the Blue De'lils answered, albeit with a little help from some shoddy Ironton defense . The Tigers committed a pair of fielding mistakes in the frame, the first ·of which put Cody Noble .on third with nobody out. Noble drew a lead-off walk off losing pitcher Chad Miler, who came on in the seventh. Noble stole second, but the throw on the attempt sailed into centerfield, allowing Noble to claim third as well. Two Devils were strikeout victims, leaving the game in the hands of Nick Stevens. Stevens hit a bouncer toward ftrst, but Ironton's Jeremy Moore misplayed it, allowing Noble to score the game-winner. Besides King, John Paul Finnicum was the only other Blue Devils with multiple ruts. both singles. Noble. Austin Roush and Stevens also rut safely for the winners. Ironton's Nick Lewis and David Bridges had two hits each, including doubles. T.J. Keith also had two base knocks. Ace Shawn Thompson went the distance to pick up the pitching victory. Ironton logged nine hits. but many of the runs were unearned, as Gallia Academy committed www:mydailysentlnel.com Tuesday, March 27, 2007 www .mydailysentinel.com six errors on the day. "Thompson pitched a great game, we didn't give him much defensive help," Corvin stated. "We gave up a couple of runs with two outs on some errors. Our defense was not what we expected tonight." The win was Gallia Academy's first over Ironton during the coach Corvin em. which began four seasons ago. And it was the best time to get that flfSt victory, as it is now a league contest with the expansion of the SEOAL. Gallia Academy steps out of league play today to tangle . with visning Chesapeake. The Blue Devils go to new South Division foe Chillicothe on Wednesday.

Baker emphasized thai village operations cannot be funded to the levels lhey have been in the past. She said there are only two possible solutions - get more money in or reduce spe nding. " Reducing spending is our only option," she said. "We cannot operate the way we operated in 2006." Baker said the appropriations for village expenses had to be passed by the emer- gency method at that meetin~ because lhe deadline for fihng is March 31. She again emphasized that things have to change. that the village does not have a~ much estimated money to appropriate as it did lasl year. Presenting a series of ligures. Baker gave $471.281 as lhe estimated tigure in the general fund from which the cuts have 10 be made. (Lasl year's appropriation 10 the general fund was $519,000.) She detailed meas where reductions cannot be made, including uti!- tiles. insurance. postage. salary for the mayor's clerk. and three police otlicers. She then ellplained that she took from the appropriations everything thai has lo be funded if the village continues to operate and that left a balance of $1.10.928 for taking care of remaining police. mayor's staff. and mcome tax operallon. "Lasl year expenses in those three areas totaled $202.50 I. representing $137.800 for police. $33.800 ' for the mayor's staff, and $30,90 I for income tax . That's $71.572 more than the village has." said Baker. She explained how she had prorated those figures to hring the total down to what is available . the $13 0.92~. which would provide $~li.03 1 for additional police over 1he three oflicer,;, $22,257 for lhe mavor" s staff. and $ 19,639 for. income tall operation. ··we· re running ut rock bottom." stressed Baker.
