A total of seven people submitted letters of interest for the position left vacant by the resignation of Amanda Reed earlier this month. The Board held a special meeting last week to interview the potential candidates for the vacancy, before officially naming the new board member on Thursday. Applicants were as follows: Kimberly King King is the mother of a high school student at Eastern Local, as well as an upcoming preschooler. “My son transferred midyear last school Friday, February 23, 2018 s 50¢ Coming back for round two year into the district, and has been given the warmest welcome, along with our family. With his transfer, I feel compelled to join the process of ensuring not only his and his sister’s education but all of those attending currently and for the future to come,” stated King in her letter of interest. Vince Martin Martin’s current job allows him to work in the role of a technology coordinator for Marietta City Schools. “With time spent working with teachers and administrators, I’ve become an advocate of STEAM programs,” stated Martin in his letter of interest. “As a 2004 Eastern Local graduate and former student athlete, I’ve made countless memories over the 13 years spent within those walls and out on See EASTERN | 6A Sarah Hawley | Sentinel Businesses along Main Street in Pomeroy were once again packing up as flood waters are projected to be on the streets and in the buildings in the coming days. Meigs County preps for more flooding By Sarah Hawley shawley@aimmediamidwest.com MEIGS COUNTY — A week ago Meigs County was preparing for its worst river flood in more than a decade, now, it seems businesses and residents are doing it again. Trucks and trailers were parked along Main Street as businesses, which had just moved out a week ago, moved out additional items. The extra move out is due to the forecast for a second round of flooding along the Ohio River in Juvenile Court. Additionally, the Prosecuting Attorney’s Office handled several appeals in both the Fourth District Court of Appeals and the Ohio Supreme Court as well as two cases before the Parole Board. Of course, the Prosecuting Attorney’s Office’s success cannot be measured solely in terms of criminal convictions. The Prosecuting Attorney’s Office fulfills many other functions on behalf of the people of Meigs County. The victim assistance program recently released its 2017 End of Year Fiscal Report. The victim assistance program is staffed by three advocates who served 452 new crime victims in 2017 as well as many victims from pre-2017 cases. This service included 177 crises responses; 258 requests for protection orders; 4,101 contacts with victims via telephone, fax, or letter; and 1,480 court appearances. The types of crime victims the victim assistance program served included 40 adult physical assaults; seven adult sexual assaults; one arson; 55 burglary and breaking and entering offenses; 49 child abuse or child endangering offenses; one child pornography offense; 22 child sexual assaults; 120 domestic violence offenses; ten OVIs; 25 identity fraud, unauthorized use of credit cards, which is projected as nearly four feet higher than the crest this past weekend. “The Meigs County Emergency Management Agency is currently working with multiple agencies to prepare for a Pomeroy Village Council discusses Prosecutor’s office releases ’17 stats new hires Staff Report By Erin Perkins eperkins@aimmediamidwest.com POMEROY — The Pomeroy Village Council recently met discussing the promotion of a parttime police officer to police sergeant and hiring a new part-time police officer. Chief of Police Mark Proffitt explained to council Trey Wallace had submitted his resignation letter and his last day will be on March 2. Proffitt asked council if he could promote Anthony Woods Jr. to full-time and name him police sergeant and the council approved. Also, Proffitt asked if he could hire Tristan Wright as a part-time officer and the council approved. Fiscal Officer Sue Baker talked with the council about hiring Ben See as an assistant fiscal officer. Baker said See is currently working as an assistant mayor’s clerk and she has seen his potential to be an efficient new hire. Baker explained to council the financial problems a village can face when a fiscal officer is not properly prepared for the job. Council then approved hiring See as assistant fiscal officer.

COLUMBUS, Ohio— A state lawmaker moved Thursday to force a thorough review of Ohio’s medical marijuana program as questions rack up over its process for selecting grower applicants. Republican Sen. Bill Coley, of Cincinnati, proposed legislation that would require State Auditor Dave Yost to conduct and release a performance audit of the program. The bill holds up grower, processor and tester licenses until program flaws can be addressed. Ohio’s medical marijuana law, passed in 2016, allows people with any of 21 medical conditions, including cancer, Alzheimer’s dis- ease and epilepsy, to buy and use marijuana if a doctor recommends it. It doesn’t allow smoking. The program was supposed to be up and running by Sept. 8. Coley said his bill would not affect that timing. “As a human endeavor, there’s going to be mistakes made,” he said. “The question in somebody’s character is what do you do when you find out about it.” The Ohio Department of Commerce acknowledged last week that a scoring error led to one company’s inadvertent exclusion from the list of the dozen big marijuana growers receiving provisional licenses. The agency said it identified the mistake after Yost expressed con- cern that two employees had complete access to the scoring data. The department offered to put the program on hold, but Yost said in a letter to the agency sent Wednesday that it’s too late for that. A message was left with the department Thursday seeking comment on Coley’s bill. The acknowledged error in scoring has been accompanied by additional allegations of mistakes by others. A lawsuit filed by some unsuccessful applicants earlier this week claims state regulators failed to follow their own rules when awarding provisional licenses for growing facilities late last year.

Prosecutor Stanley is also available to speak with adult groups regarding a variety of legal and awareness issues as well. Fostering a love of the law and criminal justice in our youth is important and the Prosecuting Attorney’s Office instituted a job-shadowing program in which several students had the opportunity to observe Prosecutor Stanley and his assistants both in office and in the courtroom. The Prosecuting Attorney’s Office hired a college student to serve as a part-time legal assistant, and partnered with Ohio Means Jobs to hire a high school student to also serve as a part-time legal assistant. Those interested in the job-shadowing program or possible summer employment are encouraged to contact the office. Prosecutor Stanley regularly made himself available to the public via walk-ins, appointments, and telephone calls so that concerned citizens could discuss a number of issues with him personally and welcomes the opportunity to speak with as many people as possible. Prosecutor Stanley looks forward to continuing to work with law enforcement, other elected officials, and the public as a team to build upon the success the office had in 2017 so that Meigs County continues to shine as a place we are all proud to call home.

Round 2 From page 1A second round of expected Ohio River flooding which will occur over the weekend,” read a statement from Meigs EMA Director Jamie Jones on Thursday. “At the current time the National Weather Service is predicting the Ohio River will reach minor flood stage on Saturday, Feb. 24 and continue to rise until cresting sometime between Monday, Feb. 26 and Tuesday, Feb. 27. The current estimated crest at the Belleville Locks and Dams is 46 feet, Racine Locks and Dams is 50.5 feet and Pomeroy at 54.1 feet. Anyone in low areas should begin preparations to protect their property for the impending flood activity which will strike our county,” the statement continued. Remember as waters rise DO NOT DRIVE through high water areas, reminded Jones. A crest of 50.5 feet at the Racine Lock would be the highest recorded at the Lock since it was put in place in the 1960s. The current record crest at the Racine Lock is 50.23 feet on Sept. 20, 2004. The projected crest of 46 feet top that of Sept. 19, 2004 at Belleville when the river crested at 45.80 feet. The projected 54.1 feet in Pomeroy would be nearly two feet over the 2004 crest of 52.20 feet, and nearly four feet over the crest of 50.4 feet from last weekend.

I cherish it greatly. In fact, it’s the most important part of my day. It sets the tone for everything I’m struggling with or contemplating. But distractions attempt to get the best of me—specifically, my iPhone. You see, Teen my iPhone is my alarm Testimony clock. However, it’s Isaiah also the hub of my text Pauley messages, social media notifications, and every other distraction known to man! Therefore, as I reach over to shut-off my alarm, I often find myself distracted. Maybe it’s an unread text message. Maybe it’s a missed call. Maybe it’s a Facebook message. Nonetheless, I’m tempted to begin my day with my cellphone instead of my Bible. I’ve said this before, but consistent Bible reading has changed my life drastically. For the past five years or so, I’ve dedicated morning quiet time to God. Almost every day, I’ve read the Bible and let God move in my heart and life. Nothing I’ve ever done has been more productive than this particular activity. It only makes sense, then, that morning distractions attempt to steal my attention. Who or what owns your day’s first thoughts? Today, I’m writing about a relationship—the relationship between you and Jesus. In our distracting world, it’s easy to compromise just how important this relationship really is. When we surrender our first thoughts to someone or something else, we reveal that the first longing of our hearts doesn’t belong to God. Instead, we long for satisfaction in other forms. Consequently, we struggle to have a stronger relationship with Jesus. After all, the most important part of our lives is likely our first thoughts in the morning and last thoughts at night. It’s so easy to think about fleshly things. It’s so easy to fall prey to distractions—whether they come from a cellphone or a news station. All the while, we compromise time with our Creator. I mean, He’s the reason we get out of bed in the first place! I’ve heard it said, “He [or she] completes me.” That’s impossible. I know you want to respond to that text message before reading your Bible. But can I tell you something? No person can ever take the place in your heart created by and for God himself. I’ve heard it said, “Drugs make you feel good.” Can I tell you something? That’s false. No substance can ever take the place in your heart created by and for God himself. I know it’s tempting to check social media before reading your Bible. But can I tell you something? Nothing you read or see can ever take the place in your heart created by and for God himself. “Dear children, keep away from anything that might take God’s place in your hearts” (1 John 5:21 NLT). Until you realize the irreplaceable relationship you have with Jesus, you’ll constantly find yourself empty. There’s no way an unbeliever can live with complete peace in his or her soul. The Christ-shaped void remains. “…He [God] has planted eternity in the human heart, but even so, people cannot see the whole scope of God’s work from beginning to end” (Ecc. 3:11 NLT). My prayer is for each and every one of you to give God your attention first thing in the morning. You may think I’m crazy. You may wonder why it’s so important to make Jesus the first part of your day. But I’m telling you from experience that you’ll never be the same. Let me conclude by sharing an interesting story with you. In the book of Exodus, God sends manna (bread) down to the hungry Israelites. Interestingly, they’re instructed to receive this bread in the mornings. “Then Moses added, ‘The LORD will give you meat to eat in the evening and bread to satisfy you in the morning…’” (Ex. 16:8 NLT). Jesus later says, “‘Yes, I am the bread of life! Your ancestors ate manna in the wilderness, but they all died. Anyone who eats the bread from heaven, however, will never die. I am the living bread that came down from heaven….’” (John 6:48-51 NLT). You see what I see? Jesus is the real “bread of heaven.” And what better time to receive the fullness of His presence than first thing in the morning? Isaiah Pauley is a senior at Wahama High School.

Daily Sentinel We need to expect a culture of truth These days, the political climate of our nation is pitted with accusations that the various sides are lying about those of the other sides. The FBI is accused of lying. The Republicans are accused of lying. The Democrats are accused of lying. In the midst of it all is the news media reporting about the lying, and, quite frankly, the things that the major news media reports, it is rather obvious that they are lying about the lying. For that reason, I rarely watch the news broadcasts. I do not subscribe to the news magazines at all. I do not give any credibility to the political bilge that comes out of Nancy Pelosi’s mouth— and many other political leaders, for that matter. Some claim that things are truthful “as they see it,” but that is only a lie between their teeth. But, we allow that explanation according to our own particular political and moral biases. We have allowed a culture of lying to develop in our nation, and it is because we do not hold these various entities accountable to tell the truth. We keep voting for the same liars. We keep buying the same lying litera- are members one of tures. We keep tuning another.” in to the same lying After all, there are broadcasts.

Perhaps the most subtle tunately, with a lot of people, problem with lying is that “fake news” gets a lot of it ultimately diminishes credibility. emphasis on God, because We have permitted a culture of lying to permeate our lying prioritizes self rather than God. When Jonah said culture without failing to “They that observe lying realize that the most major vanities forsake their own consideration we can know about lying is that God hates mercy,” he was saying that those who give regard to it. The Scripture says that lies forsake their own mercy.

The Apostle Paul exhorts, love the truth, speak the truth, teach the truth, and “Wherefore put away lying, expect the truth. That is speak every man truth why we should expect to with his neighbor, for we have a culture of truth in our nation, which we get by building a culture of truth in our nation. Building a culture of truth starts with our selves. We must be willing to expedite truth in our own lives. Building a culture of truth must be a part of family training. Teaching the truth to our children and living truthfully before them is paramount. Give them a model of truth. Building a culture of truth should be an emphasis of the Christian Church. The Church needs to relate those Scriptures that point to the fact that our God is the God of Truth. If God is Truth, then so we should be people of truth. Building a culture of truth should be advanced by the leaders and teachers of our schools. I remember specifically how the principal of my elementary school spoke about the importance of telling the truth (particularly those times when I was sent to his office for doing something wrong). We need to get the emphasis away from lying and onto the merits of truthfulness. Pastor Ron Branch lives in Mason County and ministers in the local area. Will it be on the test?

He was a good man who owned many sheep and cattle. He lived with his wife Sarai in the land of Haran, but they had no children. One day, God came to Abram and said to him, “Abram, I want you to pack up all your things and leave your God’s Kids home. I want you to go to the Korner land I will give you. I promPastor Ann ise that I will bless you, and Moody make your family great. I will be with you in all you do and because of you, all the families of the earth will be blessed.” Wow, that was quite a promise that God made to Abram, wasn’t it? But it was It’s good for us a scary one too. It to remember meant that Abram that we too need and Sarai would have to leave the to believe God place they knew in His promises and go to a place and have faith in they didn’t know. those promises. They would have God has a plan to trust God that everything would be for each of us OK, but that’s just and loves us very what Abram did. He much. One day took his wife Sarai we will come to and his nephew Lot. They packed live with Him in up everything they heaven. This was owned and moved to the beginning of the land of Canaan where God led them God’s plan. to go. It wasn’t an easy move. Abram was 75 years old when God told him to leave his home, and Canaan was a long way away from Haran. One starry night many years later, Abram was resting in his tent after a hard day’s work. It was just like any other night until God appeared. He told Abram, “Do not be afraid! I am your defender, and I promise I will give you a great reward!” Abram asked God, “What kind of reward? I don’t even have any children!” Then God took Abram out beneath the starry sky. “Look up at all those stars. You will have a son; your son will have children; they will have children; and one day they will be as many as the stars you see tonight. From them a great nation will come.” Abram had many questions because he and Sarai were very old - too old to have children. But Abram trusted God because when God makes a promise, He keeps it. And God did keep that promise and because of Abram all people on earth are blessed. It was all part of God’s plan. It’s good for us to remember that we too need to believe God in His promises and have faith in those promises. God has a plan for each of us and loves us very much. One day we will come to live with Him in heaven. This was the beginning of God’s plan. Let’s say a prayer together. Dear God, thank You for giving us promises that we can always count on and loving us so much that You have a good plan for our lives and future. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

Rebels knock off Eastern, 57-55 By Alex Hawley ahawley@aimmediamidwest.com ROCKSPRINGS, Ohio — The Rebels only led for a second, but it was the right one. The South Gallia boys basketball team took a 57-55 lead on a two-pointer from senior Curtis Haner with one second left in Wednesday’s Division IV sectional semifinal at Meigs High School. Eighth-seeded Eastern missed it chance to tie the game and the ninthseeded Rebels claimed the two-point win and the spot in the sectional final on Tuesday. Eastern (9-13) jumped out to a 4-0 lead, but the Rebels (7-15) bounced back to tie the game at six. The Eagles finished the first quarter with a 7-to-4 run and a 13-10 advantage. EHS had its lead trimmed to one point within the opening 1:45 of the second quarter, but stretched its advantage to as high as eight, before settling for a 31-24 halftime lead. After seven points for each side in the opening four minutes of the second half, Eastern rattled off nine straight points and led by 15 with 43 seconds left in the third.

After a timeout, the Eagles got a two-point shot off in the final second, but it fell short and South Gallia escaped with the 57-55 win. “We pressed them, we caused them a lot of havoc and they took a few shots sooner than they shot have,” SGHS head coach Kent Wolfe said. “Once they saw a couple of turnovers, then they started to believe in it, they thought they could actually get it. Then we hit some key shots and our defense was really strong. “It was gutty for us, we played with a lot of heart, those are things that happen in the tournament. We finally got some momentum, we shot the ball better and we kept shooting it better. Eastern is a very improved ball club, (Colton) Reynolds has really stepped his game up, he was problem in the first half.” For the game, South Gallia shot 20-of-50 (40 percent) from the field, including 9-of-22 (40.1 percent) from beyond the arc. Half of the Rebels 20 successful field goals came in the final period. Eastern was 23-of-47 (48.9 percent) from the field, including 3-of-11 (27.3 percent) from three-point range. At the free throw line, SGHS shot 8-of-12 (66.7 percent) and EHS shot 6-of-8 (75 percent). Eastern outrebounded the Rebels by a 33-to-15 count, including 9-to-4 on the offensive end. EHS had an 18-to-11 advantage in assists and claimed all-4 of the game’s rejections, but the Eagles committed 23 turnovers, 11 of which came in the fourth quarter. South Gallia turned the ball over 12 times in the game and picked up an 18-to-8 steals advantage. “For 3.5 quarters we played very nice basketball and we had our way with South Gallia in those 3.5 quarters,” EHS head coach Jeremy Hill said. “We did the things that we wanted to do, and then South Gallia stepped its game, started pressing us a little bit and we went a little bit bonkers. They made shots and we turned the ball over 11 times in one quarter. “Congratulations to Kent Wolfe, obviously that team has grown so much from where they were in the beginning of the season. I wish them all the luck against Trimble come next week.” See REBELS | 2B �SPORTS/TV Daily Sentinel NASCAR heads to Atlanta with a hangover Adderall for that one,” Wallace said on the Fox broadcast after he climbed from his car. Told of the crack in his post-race news conference, Hamlin again maintained Wallace’s contact had cut his tire. He didn’t respond to the Adderall mention and exited the room. Once outside the media center, he bumped into Wallace, and the two had a brief but heated exchange. Public sentiment is on Wallace’s side — few fans have forgiven Hamlin since he wrecked Chase Elliott at Martinsville last fall — and Hamlin angrily took to Twitter to tell his side of the story. Hamlin late Tuesday night called his Twitter critics “idiots,” and explained he had no beef about the ending of the race. His problem was the final question of his news conference, when he was asked for a response to Wallace’s remark. “I had no issue until not only did he place blame on me but then went on to make personal comments about myself. I left the media center and saw Bubba 30 secs later,” Hamlin posted in a series of tweets. “Anyone who wouldn’t take offense to the stupid things that was said has absolutely no backbone. I have one,” he concluded. Wallace was dubious of Hamlin’s take on the last-lap racing on Sunday night, but believed the two would move on to Atlanta and be fine. He did, however, wonder if he was going to be kicked out of the Hamlin-led recreational basketball and golf leagues. Turns out, though, that it wasn’t just NASCAR that was annoyed with Hamlin’s Adderall assessment. Kevin Harvick used his Tuesday night SiriusXM show to note plenty of drivers are upset with Hamlin. “Those 70 percent of drivers he referred to are mad,” Harvick said. “Whether he thinks it was an offthe-cuff comment and something he meant to say or not to say, it still offended most everybody in the garage. If you’re going to play around, joking and think it’s not something that everybody is going to take offense to. I think he’s probably seeing that nobody really appreciated it and it put everybody in a bad spot.” Angry drivers are just one of many things to keep an eye on at Atlanta. There are so far only 36 cars entered for Sunday’s race, which would make it the smallest field in decades. Only 39 cars competed at Atlanta last year, and that was the smallest field in 20 years. NASCAR had allowed a maximum 43 cars starting in 1998, and hit that number until only 42 cars showed up at a 2014 race in Kentucky. Under the charter system, with only 36 cars guaranteed spots in the field, NASCAR cut the field to a maximum of 40 each week. kids.

(AP) — Austin Dillon is still celebrating his Daytona 500 victory and Bubba Wallace is relishing his sudden breakout as NASCAR’s newest star. Denny Hamlin? Well, he’s in the middle of another feud, and it’s only the second week of the season. NASCAR moves from the Daytona 500 this weekend to Atlanta Motor Speedway with a bit of a hangover from the biggest party of its season. Hamlin earned a call to the NASCAR hauler for a comment he made last week on the “Barstool Sports” podcast in which he claimed 70 percent of NASCAR drivers take the prescription drug Adderall to help with concentration. Adderall is on NASCAR’s banned substance list without a doctor prescription. Hamlin claimed it was a joke made on an irreverent podcast, but Wallace didn’t let it go after nudging Hamlin for second place in the Daytona 500. The two raced doorto-door to the finish, and Hamlin has repeatedly said the contact cut his tire. But after his historic secondplace finish — Wallace was the first black driver in the Daytona 500 field since 1969 — he took a shot at Hamlin for the final lap racing that in Hamlin’s mind went too far. “He might need to take some Falcons Scott Jones can be reached at 740-446-2342, ext 2106.

Braxton Hardy had 17 points, four rebounds and four assists for the Rebels, while Austin Stapleton chipped in with eight points. Eli Ellis marked four points and four assists for the victors, while Jared Burdette finished with three points. Ellis and Haner led the SGHS defense with six and five steals respectively. Isaiah Fish led the Eagle offense with 16 points and four assists, followed by Colton Reynolds with 15 points, nine of which came from beyond the arc. Garrett Barringer had 10 points in the setback, Kaleb Hill added six points and nine rebounds, while Blaise Facemyer finished with four points. Mason Dishong and Ryan Dill rounded out the EHS scoring with two points apiece, with Dishong grabbing nine boards. Fish, Reynolds and Dishong each had two steals for the Eastern defense, while Hill and Barringer both blocked two shots. The Rebels will now be tasked with top-seeded Trimble in Tuesday’s sectional final at Meigs High School. “I have four goals,” Wolfe said. “I wanted to beat a top-3 team in our league, we did with Southern. Then I wanted to win twice as many games as we won last year, we won three last year and when we won over Wahama we got our sixth one. No. 3 was to win a tournament game, and of course everybody in Southeast Ohio basketball’s No. 4 is to play at The Convo. “That’s where we are now, but that’s going to be a difficult chore. We are not going to be able to press Trimble like we pressed Eastern. We have to stop their transition.

The tournament loss means the end of the postseason run for Eastern and its seniors. “We have two seniors,” Coach Hill said. “Brayden Holter, who hasn’t been able to play because of his injury, has been a staple to this ball club. He does a lot of things getting this team ready, being there for us with stats and just anything we want him to do. He’s very much a part of the team, even though he didn’t get to play. “Kaleb Hill has had a nice season, that kid can play when he wants to. He’s gonna be missed, he’s a big post man that we’re going to have to find a replacement for next year. He did a nice job, he had a good senior year considering he really only has two years of basketball under his belt.” The Eagles have a chance to end the season on a high note, as they host Belpre on Friday night in a regular season makeup game. “We’re going to move on, prepare for Belpre and prepare for the future,” said Coach Hill. “As we move forward, we need to put in some time in the offseason to make ourselves better. If they do that, they’re going to be a very nice ball club next year. We have a lot of experience, they have a lot of athletic ability, and once we just learn the game a little bit better, they’re going to pull out a lot of wins. We got nine wins this year, I wished we would have got 10 here tonight, but we didn’t.” This decision also gave SGHS the season series over the Eagles, as Eastern defeated the Rebels by a 64-43 final on Dec. 19 at ‘The Nest’, but then South Gallia claimed a 57-36 victory over EHS on Jan. 30 in Mercerville.

Holden had a game-high 19 points, 15 rebounds and five assists, while Payne added 17 points and eight rebounds of her own in the RedStorm’s 80-63 win over Brescia University, Wednesday night, in the quarterfinal round of the River States Conference Women’s Basketball Tournament at the Newt Oliver Arena. Rio Grande, ranked No. 22 nationally and the tourney’s top seed out of the league’s East Division, improved to 28-3 with the victory. The win allowed the RedStorm to set a new program record for wins in a season, surpassing the previous record of 27 established in 1994 and then equaled in 2000. The victory also sends head coach David Smalley’s squad into the tourney’s semifinal round where it will host West Virginia University-Tech on Saturday at 2 p.m. WVU-Tech, the East Divi- Courtesy photo Rio Grande’s Sydney Holden battles Brescia’s Jayde Robinson for a rebound during Wednesday night’s River States Conference Tournament quarterfinal game at the Newt Oliver Arena.

The Golden Bears and Rio split their two regular season meetings. Tech ended the RedStorm’s program-record 22-game winning streak with a 76-58 win in Rio Grande on Feb. 3. “If they’ve forgotten about that game, we’re going to reacquaint them with it,” Smalley said of his team. “But I’d like to think if they’ve got any competitive bones in their bodies, they’ll be fired up for a chance to redeem themselves.” Brescia (12-19), the No. 4 seed from the West Division, never led in Wednesday’s quarterfinal, but the Bearcats proved to be far stingier than they were in a 90-45 loss at home to the RedStorm on Jan.4 in Owensboro, Ky. Rio Grande extended a seven-point lead at the end of the first quarter to 14 points - 43-29 - by halftime and to as The younger Nance finished second to Utah’s Donovan Mitchell, but that diminish memories he’ll forever cherish. “The dunk contest was a blast,” Nance said. “If anybody had to win, Don did awesome so I’m happy for him. At the same time those are moments that I don’t know if any father and son has ever had. That’s the coolest part of it all and I’m already having several pictures blown up to be framed and stuff like that.” On Wednesday, Nance and the other new Cavs took part in their first practice at the team’s facility since the trades. And while there was a lot for the foursome to cram in — photo sessions, media interviews — before Thursday’s game against Washington, it was also a chance for a refresher course on what they learned before the All-Star break. “Just like how I suspected, they forgot the plays,” Cavs coach Tyronn Lue said with a laugh. “So, we grabbed them early, tried it, and then we’re going to grab them again after the shooting and just continue to keep going through the plays and a couple defensive coverages.” There’s a lot for the new Cavs to digest and it’s vital they pick things up quickly. Cleveland is 2-0 with its recent additions, getting impressive road wins at Boston and Oklahoma City. The Cavs played with a renewed energy and purpose in those two games with the performances giving the team a much needed jolt following weeks of turmoil. Currently third in the Eastern Conference, the Cavs are heading into a brutal stretch of 17 games in 32 days, which will require Lue and his staff to do all they can to get the new players ready for the postseason. “We’ll have to use shootarounds as practice time to teach and for guys to get better,” he said. “Not a lot of off days now. When we play every other day, we take off, we’re not going to be able to do that now, especially the new guys. Just got to be smart about it so guys get their rest, but also make sure we’re teaching and letting guys come in so they’ll be able to pick up what we’re trying to do.” In the meantime, Nance was looking forward to taking the court in Cleveland, where his father’s retired No. 22 hangs from the rafters. There has been speculation that he might ask the Cavs to let him wear the number, but that’s been put on hold. Randy Payton is the Sports Information Director at the University of Rio Grande.

OVP SPORTS BRIEFS Nance Jr. and other new Cavs ready for home debuts INDEPENDENCE, Ohio (AP) — Larry Nance Jr. has run into an unexpected snag since joining the Cavaliers. “Trying to convince my mom that I’m not living at home,” he said, smiling. “We’re out looking for rental properties and stuff like that and she’s like, ‘Oh, our basement is pretty nice.’ That’s probably been the toughest thing.” Nance’s Ohio homecoming will become even more special Thursday when the former Lakers forward plays his first at Quicken Loans Arena with the Cavs, the same team his dad starred with from 1987-94 Life has been a whirlwind of late for Nance, who was obtained by Cleveland shortly before the Feb. 8 trading deadline along with guards Jordan Clarkson and George Hill and forward Rodney Hill — four players the Cavs feel can get them back to the NBA Finals. Nance competed in last weekend’s All-Star dunk contest, an event he turned into an unforgettable family affair by wearing his dad’s Phoenix jersey and replicating the same dunk Larry Nance Sr. did while winning the inaugural dunk contest in 1984. many as 23 points, 59-36, following a bucket by sophomore Kamryn Conaway with 3:18 left in the third period. The Bearcats roared back, though, and twice pulled to within 10 points in the final stanza, including 70-60 after a steal and layup by Le’Onzerrae Grubbs with 5:24 remaining in the contest. However, Rio finally managed to settle the issue once and for all with a 10-0 run over the next four minutes. “That’s kinda how we roll,” said Smalley. “Brescia didn’t quit. We’d get up, then we’d relax and here they’d come. We had some turnovers that helped them do that. But at this point, you just want to survive and advance and we were able to do that without some of kids having the kind of night that they’re capable of.” Holden and Payne didn’t fit that mold. Holden, a sophomore from Wheelersburg, Ohio, was credited with six of Rio’s 25 turnovers, but was 6-for-10 from the field - including 5-for-7 from three-point range and scored 11 of her points after halftime. Her 15 rebounds represented a new career-high and the five assists were one off her seasonbest total. ‡�+HDOWK\�UHIUHVKPHQWV ‡�7RXU�RXU�QHZO\�UHQRYDWHG�IDFLOLW\ ‡�5HJLVWHU�WR�ZLQ�SUL]HV�LQFOXGLQJ�IUHH� :HOOQHVV�&HQWHU�PHPEHUVKLSV�DQG�PDVVDJHV ‡�5HJLVWHU�WR�SDUWLFLSDWH�LQ�WKH�3OHDVDQW� 9DOOH\�+RVSLWDO�DQG������7KH�:ROI�Weight Loss Challenge�WKDW�VWDUWV�RQ�0DUFK��� OSU women step closer to at least a title tie OH-70032354 For more information, please call 304.675.8639. �SPORTS/CLASSIFIEDS 4B Friday, February 23, 2018 Daily Sentinel LeBron on NBA playoff re-seeding: ‘Let’s not get too crazy’ INDEPENDENCE, Ohio (AP) — LeBron James has only followed an Eastern route to the NBA Finals. He doesn’t want to see that change. While NBA Commissioner Adam Silver recently raised the possibility that a change in the playoff format — re-seeding the 16 teams regardless of conference affiliation — could be approaching, James would prefer if things stayed status quo. “I would disagree with that,” James said Wednesday as the remodeled Cavaliers practiced for the first time after the AllStar break. “I think our league has been built the right way as far as when it comes to the postseason.” The league has always had teams from the Eastern and Western Conferences compete separately in the postseason with the respective conference winners meeting in the Finals. At last weekend’s AllStar festivities in Los Angeles, Silver advanced the discussion about a potential change in the playoff structure, offering two options that both included teams being re-seeded regardless of conference connection. “You also would like to have a format where your two best teams are ultimately going to meet in the Finals,” Silver said. “You could have a situation where the top two teams in the league are meeting in the conference finals or somewhere else. So we’re going to continue to look at that. It’s still my hope that we’re going to figure out ways.” Any change would require a majority vote by league owners. For James, who has been to seven straight Finals with Miami and Cleveland, altering the playoff format would be somewhat disrespectful. “It just changes the landscape of the history of the game,” he said. “It’s cool to mess around with the All-Star Game, we proved you can do that, but let’s not get too crazy about the playoffs. You have Eastern Conference and you have Western Conference. You have Eastern Conference champions, you have guys from the Eastern Conference that win the big dance and sometimes you have it from the West as well.” James loved the change in this year’s All-Star game as he and Steph Curry were voted as captains by fans and got to choose their teams. James’ team edged Curry’s in one of the more competitive events in recent years. But as for the Finals, James doesn’t see a need for change. He noted that there has been conference imbalance before, but time usually evens the score. “There’s been dominant conferences throughout time,” he said. “In the ’80s you had the Lakers who dominated the league at one point, then you had Boston that dominated the league. In the ’90s, you had Chicago that dominated the league. San Antonio also had its run. We had our run in the East with Miami, Golden State is having their run.” James said he never gets caught up in the East vs. West comparisons. “For what? You go out and play,” he said. “I’ve been a part of the Eastern Conference my whole career and we’ve been very, very competitive. There’s been years where we weren’t as good. If I can think from once I got into the league, it’s been us (Cleveland), I’ve done it three times, Detroit, Boston, Miami in ‘06, that’s like seven championships out of 14 years. “That’s half, right? So what are we talking about?” James was slightly off as the Western Conference has won eight of the past 14 titles. Marshall helps No. 4 Xavier beat Georgetown 89-77 Big picture Xavier: The Musketeers kept pace with Villanova for the top seed in the conference as well as kept alive their shot at being a top seed in the NCAA Tournament with the victory. Xavier improved its record to 8-2 against the Hoyas in regular season conference games since joining the league in the 2013-14 campaign. Georgetown: The Hoyas fell to 0-4 against Top 25 teams this season and have lost seven straight against ranked opposition going back to last season. The last time the Hoyas failed to defeat at least one ranked team was in the 2003-04 season. Georgetown is now assured of its third straight losing season within Big East play.

Macura added 20 points, including four 3-pointers, while Quentin Goodin had 19 points as the Musketeers (25- 4, 13-3 Big East) swept the season series with Georgetown for the second straight season. Jamorko Pickett tied a career high with 21 points to lead Georgetown (15-11, 5-10) while Jessie Govan added 15 points and 11 rebounds. Pickett made a career high six 3-pointers.
