A stone pillar located in the Gallipolis City Park has multiple markings on it, dating multiple flood events and how high the waters rose. According to the National Weather Service’s website, a record flood was noted at 62.8 feet in March of 1913. At 60 feet of water, most of the Ohio River basin is under water up to one mile from its shores. For reference, this particular flood event is marked on the stone pillar and is higher than the average man’s head. Not only would surrounding areas be under water, but all of Gallipolis as well. The current predictions for the upcoming flood event are around 47 feet, not even among the top 10 historic crests on record for Gallipolis. If the latest predictions of 47 feet hold true, several portions of Ohio 7 will be underwater, as will many roadways adjacent to Racoon Creek and Simms Creek in the west end of Morgan McKinniss|OVP Many historic floods have hit Gallipolis, and they are remembered by a stone pillar in the City Park showing the depth of those floods. The upcoming flood is predicted to remain about five feet below these. the county. The Chickamauga Creek that surrounds the southern end of Gallipolis will have left its banks covering roads, as will sections of Ohio 218 in Thivener. The stone pillar marks two other major flood events; 63 feet in February of 1834 and 53 feet in in 1901, all of which are in the top ten recorded floods of the Ohio at Gallipolis. As with the weather, these crest predictions are subject to change.

Trump says arm US teachers; they love kids as others don’t By Ken Thomas and Jill Colvin Associated Press WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump told conservatives Friday that even Second Amendment supporters can get behind steps to fight gun violence in schools, offering a red-meat call for arming teachers and suggesting they would be more likely to protect students than a security guard who “doesn’t love the children.” Trump said the armed officer who failed to confront the gunman in last week’s school shooting in Parkland, Florida, was either a “coward” or “didn’t react properly under pressure.” AIM Media Midwest Operating, LLC (USPS 436-840) Telephone: 740-446-2342 A companion publication of the Gallipolis Daily Tribune and Times Daily Sentinel.

Trump tailored his talking points Friday to his conservative audience, pushing the idea of arming some teachers who are “gun-adept people” but making no mention of another proposal he’s advanced in recent days that is opposed by the National Rifle Association: increasing the minimum age for buying assault rifles from 18 to 21. During a later appearance with Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull in which he again addressed gun violence, Trump declared the United States was “well on our way to solving that horrible problem” — even though the administration has yet to deliver a firm plan to Congress. As for arming teachers, Trump said, the U.S. needs “people that can take care of our children” in schools. “A security guard doesn’t know the children, doesn’t love the children. This man standing outside of the school the other day doesn’t love the children, probably doesn’t know the children. The teachers love their children. They love Jacquelyn Martin | AP Attendees applaud as President Donald Trump speaks to the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) at National Harbor, Md., on Friday. Trump urged even Second Amendment backers to get behind efforts to fight gun violence and advocated armed officers in schools. their pupils.” Long supported by the NRA, the president has sought to maintain his backing among gun rights activists even as he has called for strengthening background checks and raising the minimum age for certain weapons purchases. Trump said that past efforts to address school safety and gun violence had faded and “nothing ever gets done. We want to see if we can get it done.” He added, “Most of it’s just common sense. It’s not ‘do you love guns, do you hate guns.’ It’s common sense.” His remarks came at the end of a week that included meetings with students and teachers and state and local officials on ways to bolster school safety and address gun violence. He said the “evil massacre” of 17 people at the Florida high school had “broken our hearts.” Trump has advanced a variety of ideas to counter gun violence, and the White House this week asked the Justice Department and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives for recommendations: everything from faster ballistics testing to more prosecutions for those who lie on gun background check forms. The White House has said Trump will soon lay out a package of school and gun safety proposals for Congress to consider. While Trump the president did not mention his proposal to increase age restrictions for the purchase of firearms, Vice President Mike Pence did at a separate event with the nation’s governors. He said Trump had called for raising the age limit in an effort to work “with leaders in the Congress to bring this evil in our time to an end.” Democratic Connecticut Sen. Chris Murphy, an outspoken advocate for more gun restrictions after the 2012 elementary school shooting in Newtown, Connecticut, said he expected to meet with White House aides next week. “I’m here to hear the White House out,” Murphy said. Trump said designating schools as “gun-free zones” has put students in “far more danger.” He reiterated his push for “gun-adept teachers and coaches” to be able to carry concealed firearms and said it was “time to make our schools a much harder target for attackers — we don’t want them in our schools.” If a teacher had been carrying a concealed firearm when a former student began firing at the Florida school, “the teacher would have shot the hell out of him before he knew what happened,” Trump said. �LOCAL Sunday Times-Sentinel Sunday, February 25, 2018 3A OHIO VALLEY HISTORY We’ve been here before By Chris Rizer Certainly, this is nothing new for our region.

I figured it’d be a normal arrived in the valley, and the Native Americans dealt with it before that. trip home and was more Special to Times-Sentinel worried about driving through the mountains during a potential snowstorm. It turns out that those fears were entirely unfounded, but I ended up at home just in time for our worst flood since 2005. When I arrived in town Friday night, the river was high, but the Pomeroy parking lot was still well above water. Over the next two days, the water came up quickly. According to the National Weather Service, the final crest at Pomeroy was 50.4 feet, exactly the same as 2005. However, it was still well below the current record of 68.8 feet during the 1913 flood. Parkersburg and Huntington were forced to close their floodwalls. Blennerhassett Island was almost entirely underwater, save the mansion. Pomeroy recorded a max of almost 2 feet of water inside the first floor of Main Street businesses. Mason, Meigs, and Gallia Counties also saw the closure of multiple roads and damage to some riverside homes. Certainly, this is nothing new for our region. When the mighty Ohio roars, we move everything to higher ground and wait it out. We’ve been doing this since our ancestors arrived in the valley, and the Native Americans dealt with it before that. For the business and home owners affected by this flood, especially those of you with relatively new businesses, I have one thing to ask of you. Please don’t give up! I know that the damage may seem discouraging, and that there may be quite a bit of work ahead, but we can get through this. Together. All you have to do is ask and the community will do everything in their power to help. This could mean donating cleaning supplies or helping you rip out ruined flooring. Already, I’ve been seeing calls for donations from organizations across our region. This has to be one of my favorite things about our home. We take care of our own. The worst floods in our history, those of 1884, 1913, and 1937, all struck during times that were hard enough already. The recessions of 1882-1885, 1913, and the Great Depression had already taken everything. Then, like a headman’s axe, the Ohio rose to strike the final blow. Homes were destroyed, roads and rail- roads were washed out, and personal possessions were gone forever. Yet, everybody came together to clean out the homes and businesses. People who had nothing gave everything to ensure that their community continued. And continue it did. Our towns rose from the floodwaters, fearless and ready to go another round with Old Man River. This past flood may not have been as destructive as those in the past, but the same principles apply. La Belle Riviere has thrown the first punch, and it’s our turn to hit back. Help your neighbors clean up. Help your local businesses clean out the mud, rip out the ruined flooring, and put new in. Donate cleaning supplies. Help your community get ready for the next round. Eventually, the waters will come up again. It might be later this year, or it may be in a decade, and like usual, we’ll roll with the punch and repeat the process. Before ending this article, I want to call attention to a specific organization that needs your help. The Meigs County Historical Society and Museum is in emergency mode. The Chris Rizer | Courtesy A view from Main Street in Pomeroy during last weekend’s flooding along the Ohio River. rains have loosened the hill behind their facility, which was already in bad shape. They’re in the process of moving everything to their new facility in Middleport. If you have a truck or a trailer, or you can help pack up, or you can help lift heavy objects (like display cases), please go over and lend a hand! If you have any questions about helping, you can call them at 740591-0082. Do your part, help where you can, and if the water comes up again this weekend, take necessary precautions. And above all, remember that we’ve been here before. The next meeting of the Mason County Historical and Preservation Society, barring extreme weather, will be at 6 p.m. on Saturday, March 11 at the New Haven Library.

For me, they were the men and women of my childhood who taught my math, history, science and Sunday school classes, those who knocked down the walls of segregated police and fire departments; and those who scaled the ladders of injustice in business, sports and politics. They were the historic figures slighted in the textbooks of our freshly integrated schools: Frederick Douglass, W.E.B. James DuBois, Sojourner Truth, Dr. Charles Ragland Contributing Drew, James Baldwin, Ralph Ellison, Crispus Attucks, Mary McLeod columnist Bethune, Paul Robeson, Harriet Tubman, Paul Cuffee, Benjamin Banneker, Ida B. Wells … The list could fill the rest of this space and then some. There were, however, no black “superheroes” projected on TV and movie screens, despite the likes of mighty men and women of sports — Jack Johnson, Jesse Owens, Jackie Robinson, Joe Louis, Wilma Rudolph, Jackie “Fritz” Pollard, Althea Gibson. Our on-screen heroes always had more subdued, less fantastic obligations: They had to survive Act 1, Scene 1. They had to shatter the stereotypical step-andfetch-it, shuckin’ and jivin’ depictions that kept the world in the dark about our intellectual, moral and physical abilities. Asians, Native Americans and Latinos can make the same claim. The first black actor who made me stand up and cheer was Sidney Poitier. His elegant, dignified presence — both on and off the screen — gave me a sense of self, an identity to which I could relate and aspire. His cape, if you will, was his mind, poise and masterful command of proper English. To this day, I tell anyone who asks that the best compliment I got as a boy was when a middle-aged white executive struck up a conversation with me while I was waxing the floor of the business where he worked. I was still in high school, and I worked jobs before and after class from the time I turned 12. This was one of those jobs — sweeping, mopping and waxing floors at businesses after they closed for the night. So this guy asks me, “Where are you from — where were you born?” “I’m from here,” I told him, “the United States. I was born in East Texas, where I still live.” Astonished, he said, “You have an excellent command of the King’s language.” A black kid can never forget a statement like that. It’s both a compliment and a jab. Often, when well-meaning white acquaintances made a comment like that — something along the lines of “You don’t sound black” — I would blurt out: “Well, how many black people do you know?” The reality, then and now, is that the perception of black Americans — and black people across the globe — is rooted in stereotypes and the marginalization that comes with racist, caste entertainment, educational and economic systems that favor one group over another. In that kind of world, black superheroes can only exist on the down-low. They can’t fly through an urban village — without getting shot or arrested — with an “S” on their chest and a comfy, highfalutin side gig at The Daily Planet. At least not without somebody saying, “Hey, what’s up with that Clark Kent? He was late for our morning meeting again. (Ahem) And where does he get all of those nice suits?” The “Black Panther” film breaks the mold. It creates a world in which a black superhero, his gifts and gadgets notwithstanding, can just be himself. “It’s a little like witnessing the unveiling of an enormous statue on the public square — with the public square being the world — of Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X and Nelson Mandela dressed in bright dashikis,” former NBA great Kareem Abdul-Jabbar wrote in The Hollywood Reporter. This may sound nitpicky, but I agree with another point Abdul-Jabbar made about the movie. “One misstep is the hand-to-hand combat that anoints T’Challa the Black Panther and king of Wakanda,” he wrote. “While physical prowess is necessary for an action hero, it is not the main attribute of a king. I would have preferred to see a challenge that involved a combination of intelligence, wisdom and athleticism over just brawling. The fight undercuts the logic of Wakanda being so technologically advanced.” What I found most encouraging is that the movie left my own biracial children with the distinct impression that if a “superhero” is called to save the day, he — or she — could actually look like a Sidney Poitier or a Shirley Chisholm. And no one would be surprised, even if we can’t get our hands on any Vibranium. This column originally appeared in The Dallas Morning News. THEIR VIEW Is spring a little early this year? Tops in area news in the past week was flooding of rivers and inland creeks due to heavy rain and even a surprise snowfall on Feb. 17. As you’re reading this, it may be raining again and another few days of high water watching is in store, as forecast by various meteorologists. To some folks, especially those living in floodprone areas, this situation only makes things worse if their property has been flooded. The images of an inundated downtown Pomeroy from earlier in the week, replaced by those of the painstaking clean-up that followed by owners of affected businesses, are not soon forgotten. Still, this coming week will see others checking the usual suspects when it comes to roads that hug the rivers and creeks with And while embankments that record-setting are easily breached. daytime highs And there are more were seen this people who see past week, it’s flooding as a sure equally true that sign that spring mild conditions will be a little early may be replaced this year.

Tough in that the cold cut into fall a little too soon, and in the prevalence of a persistent flu strain throughout the country.

These men are exemplary and what makes us proud to be Americans and proud of our veterans. When you see these men be sure to thank them for the service they give to our country, our state and especially the service in good deeds in Gallia County. I hope you will join me in supporting a proposal to honor two veterans every month. See SPRING | 5A YOUR VIEW Honoring local veterans Dear Editor, I would like to propose that we honor our veterans every month by honoring two of our local citizens, one from the county and one from the city, who have come back from the various wars and are helping our nation to maintain its integrity. These men and women are role models and we all know that our youth are our future so let’s start by honoring Earnest “Speedy” Walker and Clarence Blakeney Stout for their service to our country in the U.S. Army and their outstanding leadership as citizens in our state and in Gallia County.

Of course, all of this may change in a moment’s notice. As March approaches, there are reminders of what an incredibly fickle month it can be as far as the weather goes. Case in point: a brief trip to Holmes County, Ohio, made with my wife and motherin-law last March. We departed on a beautifully sunny day that was also the windiest we’d seen in some time. We found the gale followed us all the way up I-77 and lasted for the rest of the day. The night before we left Berlin, just east of Millersburg, the temperature had dropped from a bearable daytime high of 45 or something like that to just below freezing, allowing it to snow about an inch before ending sometime before dawn. Ah, life that close to Lake Erie. However, the hotel where we Sunday, February 25, 2018 5A Combs stayed had fire pits that were lit and continued to burn through the snowfall, creating a marvelous effect for us to view from our room. It almost made me wish we’d stay another night, until that area’s forecast predicted more snow and highs only in the 20s for the next couple of days. After hearing that projection, I was all for going home where it was at least 10 degrees warmer and drier. For that part of eastern Ohio we visited for two days, I had a feeling spring was going to be a little late in 2017. So yes, high water is inconvenient at the least and downright perilous for those motorists who think they can get their vehicles across that lake where a state highway once existed, but it does tell us that once the water recedes back into the Ohio and Kanawha, things will get better.

OVI did not know how much was there and the gravity of the situation…I think he became aware (he was hiding drugs) at the time of the stop.” “The moral of the story is that these people are making decisions that are life altering when they decide to get into a vehicle and travel, whether they’re just the carrier or whether they’re the dealer,” said Gallia Prosecutor Jason Holdren. “The law is the same. You’ve got that amount of drugs and you’re taking it somewhere, you will be held accountable.” According to Holdren, Harrison lived in Columbus while holding a job and turned himself in upon finding out there was a warrant pending for his arrest. If found with 100 grams of cocaine, an individual can be considered a major drug offender, if convicted, and receive 11 years automatically. Harrison pleaded guilty to a plea deal of firstdegree felony cocaine possession. “It didn’t seem equitable to give somebody an 11-year sentence after the state had dropped the ball in attempting to pick him up for years,” said Holdren. “He was living a law-abiding life and had not been in any trouble and the state had the (defendant) address during that five year period. That is one key reason why we make indictments public. We are seeing a lot of people turn themselves in on cases. It helps that individual when it comes to bond. If you’re willing to turn yourself in and address those issues on your own, that’s a lot different than being on the run and law enforcement having to find you.” Holdren said some indictments may remain secret depending on the nature of a case but the majority of indictments his office releases were for things such as Harrison’s situation. “I cannot speak for others but when my office became aware of the pending situation,” said Holdren about the period of time between indictment and sentencing,”we moved to resolve it quickly.” trafficking 308 grams of cocaine after being pulled over September 18, 2012.

Sarah Hawley | Sentinel Volunteers help with moving and cleanup efforts By Sarah Hawley and Erin Perkins MEIGS COUNTY — As Meigs County and surrounding areas prepare for round two of flooding, one thing that stands out is the efforts of the people in the county who have volunteered their time to help others. From the volunteer firefighters cleaning the streets to the village officials and workers going beyond their town limits to assist with snow removal (in the middle of all the flooding), the efforts have not gone unnoticed. There have also been dozens of volunteers working to help local businesses and individuals to move out of harms way both with the first round of flooding and now the second. Members of the Eastern High School National Honor Society, along with student-athletes from Meigs and Eastern spent time throughout the week assisting with moving of items for businesses, as well as the Meigs Museum. The Museum has been working to move from its Butternut Avenue location to its future home in Middleport due to additional slippage of the hill behind the current building. “To each person who helped us yesterday move a lot of our museums priceless historical items, thank you so much! You know who each of you are. We tried to get all your names to thank you individually, but there were so many of you. We are blessed to have you in our county! And those not from our county!!!!!! God bless each one,” read a statement on the Meigs County Historical Society Facebook page this week. “It’s been more than a community effort.” Among the volunteers working downtown on Friday as the second round of flooding approached were commissioners Mike Bartrum and Tim Ihle. “We’re just making sure everyone gets out and everybody is safe and sound. It’s great how our community comes “We’re just making sure everyone gets out and everybody is safe and sound. It’s great how our community comes together.

So once a student is enrolled in the scholarship, it may be renewed each successive year so long as the family meets financial eligibility,” said Chief Administrator of OVCS Patrick O’Donnell. While charter schools have been able to offer the scholarship to stu- dents up to fifth grade, they will be expanding that annually until all 13 grades are covered. In order for a school to participate in the program, a school must be a non-public charter school that has applied for the program and is operating according to their charter agreement with the state. According to O’donnell, schools have to verify with the state that they are in compliance with their charter through the Ohio Department of Education. “We are able to extend the education that we offer to families that might not otherwise be able to afford our tuition. I think the Christian education is an excellent response to poverty in our area and we are able to reach out to families who may not otherwise be able to come to our school and benefit from the Christian education that we are offering,” said O’Donnell. “We just want to offer the kids in the county a choice, our public schools in the area do a good job.

TOPS (Take off Pounds Sensibly) OH#2013 met Monday evening at the St Paul’s UMC, Tuppers Plains, Ohio. Leader, Pat Snedden opened the meeting with the group reciting the TOPS and KOPS (Keep off Pounds Sensibly) pledges. The weekly best loser was a tie between Pat Snedden and Nola Easterling. They shared the weekly best loser fruit basket award. January best loser awards went to Glenda Hunt and Judy Morgan. Each received a certificate of merit as their award. For the business portion of the meeting the group continued to discuss SRD (State Recognition Day) plans. SRD is planned for April 6 and 7. Leader, Pat Snedden noted that several of the group members will be recognized at SRD not only for their weight loss but their ability to maintain the weight over an extended period of time. The TOPS organization is a nonprofit group and each local chapter is responsible for fundraising for chapter activities. Several fundraiser ideas were discussed. The program for the week was “open group discussion.” This type of discussion urges members who so desire to share their weight journey issues. The group support of learning from each other is invaluable. It seems to be common knowledge that people who belong a weight loss support group are 3-5 times more likely to lose and or maintain their ideal body weight. Weekly weigh in and member support are responsible for the success for many people. TOPS offers both of these entities. The group dismissed the meeting with the “Helping Hand Circle.” For more information about TOPS #OH2013 call Leader, Pat Snedden at 740-541-9696.

Rio softball splits with Sand Sharks By Randy Payton For Ohio Valley Publishing HARDEEVILLE, S.C. — Maria Molloseau tossed a six-hit shutout to lead the University of South Carolina-Beaufort to a 3-0 game two win over the University of Rio Grande on Friday night, helping the Sand Sharks salvage a split of their non-conference doubleheader at the Richard Gray Athletic Complex. Rio Grande, the No. 23 team in the NAIA’s preseason coaches’ poll, squeaked out a 2-0 win in the opener and finished the day at 4-4. The split left USCB at 9-3 for the season. Molloseau (3-0) did not walk a batter and struck out four in a complete game effort. She has not allowed an earned run this season in her eight appearances in the circle - a stretch covering 29-1/3 innings. Two of the Rio Grande hits went for extra bases - doubles by sophomore Brooke Hoffman Columbus Grove, OH) in the first inning and freshman Kayla Slutz (Navarre, OH) in the fourth - but the RedStorm failed to cash in on either scoring opportunity. USCB scored what proved to be the only run it would need against Rio senior starter Mallory Powell (Flatwoods, KY) in the bottom of the fourth inning. Canyon Crosby reached on a one-out single and was replaced on the bases by Melina Martinez. Alex Moore was then hit by a pitch, moving Martinez to second, before a steal of third by Martinez and a sacrifice fly by Molloseau sent the Sand Sharks in front. USCB added a pair of insurance markers in the fifth at the expense of Powell and junior reliever Kacee Jenkins (Jackson, OH). Kylie Kelly led off with a single, prompting Powell’s departure from the circle in favor of Jenkins. Kayla Boyle promptly reached on a bunt single and a throwing error by Jenkins on a sacrifice bunt attempt by Natassja Hatcher allowed Kelly to race home. Crosby followed with a single to score Boyle and make it 3-0, before Jenkins got out of the jam with a pair of groundouts and a foulout. Rio did get a leadoff single by freshman Mary Pica (Minford, OH) in the seventh inning, but Slutz lined into a double-play and freshman Aubrey Azbill (Miamisburg, OH) grounded out to third to end the game.

Needless to say, it had been quite a while. The Gallia Academy boys basketball team picked up its first 20-win season in 15 years and also secured the program’s first district berth in a decade with a hardfought 42-34 decision over sixth-seeded Zane Trace on Friday night in a Division II sectional championship game at Larry Jordan Gymnasium on the campus of Southeastern High School in Ross County. The third-seeded Blue Devils (20-3) led wireto-wire in the 32-minute affair, but the hosts were never ahead by more than three possessions until the final 20 seconds of regulation — and that 10-point cushion lasted all of five seconds as the Pioneers (13-9) simply Gallia Academy junior Cory Call releases a shot attempt over a Zane Trace defender during the second half of Friday night’s Division II boys basketball sectional final at Southeastern High School in Londonderry, Ohio. refused to go away over the course of the night.

Clinging to a mere 27-25 cushion, the Blue Devils ended the final 2:58 of the third quarter on a 6-0 run that resulted in a 33-25 advantage headed into the finale. The Pioneers answered with a 6-2 run to start the fourth while closing back to within 35-31 with 4:29 left, but Gallia Academy countered with a 7-1 run over the next four-plus minutes — which all but sealed the deal on the final outcome. The eight-point victory allowed the Blue Devils to secure the program’s 17th overall sectional title, as well as the first since the 2008 campaign. Gallia Academy also last won 20 games in a season back in 2003, which was also the last time the Blue and White captured a district championship. The Blue Devils are now headed to the Ohio University Convocation Center, where they will face the winner of the Fairfield Union-New Lexington contest in a D-2 district semifinal at 8 p.m. Thursday. Given the fact that his troops have spent a good portion of this season tearing down historical walls, fifth-year GAHS coach Gary Harrison was more than thrilled to see this group make another giant leap forward — especially considering that this latest hurdle wasn’t the easiest of things to clear. “I give a lot of the credit to our kids and to the coaching staff for what we did tonight and what we’ve done this season,” Harrison said. “We knew that Zane Trace was going to be a battle for us, and it was. That’s a good ball team over there and we had to work for four quarters to get out of here with this one, but that’s what makes it so special. “The kids have worked hard and the staff has worked hard to get this program back to the Convo, and seeing how the community has supported us this year has See GALLIA | 7B �SPORTS 2B Sunday, February 25, 2018 Sunday Times-Sentinel Eagles outlast Belpre in OT, 73-71 By Scott Jones sjones@aimmediamidwest.com TUPPERS PLAINS, Ohio — Some things are worth the wait. The Eastern boys basketball team soared to a 28-16 lead during the first eight minutes of Friday night’s 201718 season finale, but despite a late Belpre rally that forced overtime, the Eagles held on for a 73-71 Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division victory at The Nest in Meigs County. EHS (10-12, TVC Hocking 5-11) utilized an 11-of-18 performance from the field in the opening period — while BHS (12-10, 11-5) made 6-of-14 field goal attempts — to take an eight-point advantage into the second quarter. The Green and Gold extended their lead to 40-31 in the second frame, despite a 15-12 run by the Golden Eagles over that span. Eastern ended the first half by making 16-of29 shots from the field for 55 percent, including 3-of-4 from beyond the arc for 75 percent. The Eagles also made 5-of-7 shots from the charity stripe for 71 percent. EHS collected 15 rebounds and committed six turnovers.

The Golden Eagles also made 5-of-9 attempts from the free throw line for 55 percent. BHS gathered nine rebounds and committed five giveaways. Both teams shot poor- ly in the third period, as the hosts made just three field goals while committing six turnovers. The visitors countered with a 3-of-11 performance from the field, as Eastern held a 48-39 lead entering the finale. The momentum of the contest shifted in favor of Belpre in the fourth quarter, as a three-point play by Brandon Simoniette cut Eastern’s lead to 48-47 with 5:54 remaining. The Golden Eagles eventually tied the contest at 59-all when Logan Adams connected on a trifecta with 1:31 left in regulation. BHS appeared poised to earn the win when Adams connected on two free throws with 15 seconds remaining, but Eastern’s Kaleb Hill nailed a clutch shot with one second remaining See EAGLES | 4B OVP SPORTS BRIEFS MYL Baseball and Softball signups MIDDLEPORT, Ohio — The Middleport Youth League will be having baseball and softball signups for boys and girls on Saturday, March 3, and Saturday, March 10, from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. in the gymnasium at the Middleport Jail.

Softball From page 1B two runs over 4-plus innings. She walked three batters and struck out one. Kelly and Crosby had two hits each in the win for the Sand Sharks. Friday’s opening game was a pitcher’s duel between Rio junior starter Conkey (Minford, OH) and USCB starter Abby Pac. Conkey escaped unscathed by working out of trouble in the first, third and fourth innings. The RedStorm recorded the final out of the first inning by catching Rachel Frankhouser too far off the bag at third base on an infield hit by Boyle, while sophomore shortstop Michaela Criner (Bremen, OH) started a 6-3 double-play to end a bases-loaded, one-out threat in the fourth. Rio only had one runner advance into scoring position through the first six innings. Conkey led off the fourth with a single to left-center and moved to second on a sacrifice by Powell. Pica followed with a walk and Conkey moved to third on a flyout to right by Slutz, but junior Carly Skeese (Newark, OH) grounded back to the pitcher’s circle to end the threat. The RedStorm finally scored their breakthrough in the top of the seventh when Skeese led off with a double off the glove of Kelly at third base and moved to third on a twoout single to left-center by Criner. Skeese scored moments later when Kelly bobbled Hoffman’s grounder to third for an error and Conkey followed with a single to right which plated Criner with the second run. Conkey retired the side in order in the bottom of the seventh to seal the win. Criner finished 3-for-4 in the victory, while Conkey helped her own cause with a pair of hits. In the circle, Conkey allowed just five hits and a pair of walks in the shutout effort. She struck out four. Boyle went 3-for-3 and Hatcher was 2-for-2 in a losing cause for USCB. Pac was the hard-luck loser, allowing seven hits, one walk and the two unearned runs. Rio Grande will wrap up its four-game weekend trip to the Palmetto State with a doubleheader on Saturday against the College of Coastal Georgia. First pitch for game one is set for 11 a.m. Randy Payton is the Sports Information Director at the University of Rio Grande.

Neither Point Pleasant nor Wahama were nearly as fortunate by the end of the second session. What started out as 17 hopefuls is now down to just two possibilities as Point Pleasant brothers Christopher and George Smith are the only grapplers still in title contention at the 71st annual WVSSAC Wrestling Championships being held this weekend at Big Sandy Superstore Arena in Cabell County. The Big Blacks began the weekend with 13 qualifiers in the Class AA-A field, and they are the only local program with any shot of an individual state champion following Friday afternoon. All four White Falcon competitors were eliminated from the tournament before the start of Friday night’s third session. Point Pleasant has only five grapplers remaining in the tournament as of the end of Friday afternoon, with the Smiths needing a single win during Friday night’s semifinals to advance to the Class AA-A championship match on Saturday evening. George Smith, a junior, was 2-0 at 120 pounds through two sessions, including a pinfall win and a narrow 3-2 decision on Friday morning. Christopher Smith, a freshman, was 2-0 at 106 pounds after the second session, including a pinfall win and a 14-0 major Bryan Walters|OVP Sports Wahama senior Christian Thomas takes down on an opponent during a Class AA-A 182-pound match held Thursday night at the 2018 WVSSAC Wrestling Championships at Big Sandy Superstore Arena in Huntington, W.Va. decision. Though it is new territory for Christopher, the elder Smith is in an alltoo-familiar spot through two rounds of the state meet. George won the 2016 championship at 106 pounds in Class AAA and was the 113-pound AA-A runner-up a year ago. Sophomores Juan Marquez and Jacob Muncy, as well as freshman Mitchell Freeman, are still battling in the consolation bracket of the Class AA-A tourna- ment. Freeman (126) and Muncy (285) were both victorious on Thursday night, but dropped quarterfinal matches before rebounding with second consolation wins. Both Freeman and Muncy also have identical 2-1 marks and a pinfall win apiece. Marquez lost his first session bout, but rebounded with a pair of consolation round wins to improve to 2-1 at 195 pounds — including a major decision. Is Your Heart Broken by Addiction?? Sophomore Justin Cornell and senior Clayton Hill both scored session one victories, but each grappler dropped consecutive decisions on Friday afternoon. Cornell went 1-2 at 113 pounds with a technical fall victory, while Hill was 1-2 at 182 pounds. Seniors Jacob Roub (160) and Jacob Bryant (170) scored a pair of first round consolation decisions before wrapping up their respective careers with matching 1-2 marks. Sophomore Zac Samson earned a pinfall win before finishing 1-2 at 145 pounds, while freshman Wyatt Wilson landed a 13-4 major decision in Friday’s opener before finishing 1-2 at 138 pounds.

The Big Blacks — who lost seven of their 13 matches on Thursday night — owned a 16-19 overall mark and sat third in the Class AA standings with 44.5 points. Independence leads the Class AA field after two sessions with 125 points, with East Fairmont sitting second with 88.5 points. The White Falcons — who finish the 2018 state tournament with a 3-8 overall mark — were tied for eighth place with Fayetteville, Richwood and South Harrison in the Class A standings with eight points. Wahama went 2-2 on the opening night, with a pair of underclassmen coming away victorious. Junior Antonio Serevicz (220) and sophomore Trevor Hunt (132) each scored a pinfall win in the first session before dropping a pair of bouts on Friday afternoon. Senior Ethan Herdman dropped his 152pound opener on Thursday, but rebounded with a 7-4 decision on Friday morning before bowing out in the second consolation round. Senior Christian Thomas completed his career with a pair of losses at 182 pounds. Greenbrier West led the Class A field through two sessions with 39 points. Defending champion Wirt County (31.5) and Madonna (30) complete the top three spots through Friday afternoon. Due to an early press time, complete results and a recap of the final three sessions of the 2018 WVSSAC Wrestling Championships will be available in the Tuesday sports edition of the Point Pleasant Register. ������������������� ���� 304-762-2100 Eagles From page 2B — knotting the game at 61 apiece while forcing an extra four-minute session. The game remained tight in overtime, as Belpre held a 70-69 lead with 1:35 left to play. Eastern however closed on a 3-2 run — by way of a 3-of-4 effort from the charity stripe — to earn the onepoint victory. Following the game EHS head coach Jeremy Hill was pleased with his team’s performance. “This win is much more than a state championship,” Hill said. “We have a very young group. We have 10 players and only two of them had varsity experience coming into the year. We lost six games this season on last-second shots. We didn’t know how to finish. However, tonight we finished. “We were able to hold our composure. We didn’t play a perfect game, but we finished the basketball game. This win is sweeter than any win we’ve had because we sent our seniors out right.” Overall, EHS connected on 25-0f-55 field goal attempts for 45 percent, including 5-of-9 from beyond the arc. The Eagles also made 11-of20 from the free throw line for 55 percent. The Green, White and Gold gather 32 rebounds and committed 14 turnovers. Isaiah Fish led the way with a game-high 33 markers, including a 7-of12 effort from the charity stripe. Colton Reynolds was next with 17 points, including three trifectas, while Garrett Barringer followed with 12 markers. Sharp Facemeyer added five points and Kaleb Hill provided four markers. Brayden Holter rounded out the scoring for the Eagles with two points. Holter’s addition to the line up provided a memorable start to the contest, as the EHS senior had missed all prior games this season due to injury. “I asked the Belpre administration and the coaching staff if they’d help me and allow him to start,” Hill said. “It was Belpre’s head coach with the idea to let him maybe get a shot off. In the end, it might have affected the outcome of the game and I wish it wouldn’t have been like that. “However, if in the future Belpre would ever need anything like that from me … I would definitely do it for them. I really appreciated their generosity and cooperation of being able to give him a memory of a lifetime.” Belpre finished with a 22-of-57 performance from the field for 38 percent, including 7-of-14 from three-point range for 50 percent. The Golden Eagles collected 21 rebounds and committed 15 giveaways. Adams led BHS with 27 points, including two trifectas and a 9-of-12 effort from the free throw line. Simoniette followed with 17 markers and Cole Knotts was next with 11 points. Bailey Sprague finished with 1o points, while Connor Baker provided four markers. Nate Godfrey concluded the scoring for Belpre with two markers. It was the final basketball game for seniors Kaleb Hill and Brayden Holter in the Green and Gold.

But rather than look for the trailing Tate or star forward Keita Bates-Diop, Jackson did the natural thing. “I just felt like I had the best look we were going to get with the time left,” he said. All the Hoosiers could muster was a half-court heave from Robert Johnson that came up well short at the buzzer. Bates-Diop had 24 points and tied his careerhigh with 14 rebounds. Tate finished with 12 points, five rebounds and six assists. Indiana (16-14 9-9) was led by Juwan Morgan with 18 points and Johnson, who had 17 in what could be his final game at Assembly Hall. “Really disappointed for our fans and our seniors in particular,” coach Archie Miller said. “I thought we did enough at the end and we just had a breakdown at the end to contest the shot.” The Blue Devils owned a small 10-7 edge on the glass at the break, and the Pioneers committed From page 1B seven of the 13 first half turnovers. been great.

Neither team scored after Indiana’s Justin Smith made two free throws left with 2:18 in regulation. Neither team led by more than two in the first overtime, which ended tied at 70. And neither led by more than one in the second overtime — until Jackson’s knocked down the long 3. Key stats: Ohio State: Kam Williams scored 15 points and Kaleb Wesson had 12 before fouling out. … Bates-Diop also finished with four blocks in 45 minutes. … Ohio State had a 41-35 rebounding edge. Indiana: Smith had 16 points for Indiana. … The Hoosiers scored only four points during over a stretch of 9:50 in the first half and missed their first seven shots to start the second half. … Indiana committed 12 turnovers and was 13 of 23 at the free-throw line. six and five markers. Loveday led GAHS with 12 rebounds and six blocked shots, both of which were game-highs. Call hauled in three caroms, while Wiseman and McClelland each snagged two boards. The Pioneers netted 14-of-34 shot attempts for 41 percent, but went 0-for-5 from behind the arc. The guests were also 6-of-11 at the charity stripe for 55 percent. Beam led ZTHS with 10 points, followed by Cameron Evans with eight points and O’Dell with seven markers. Triton Davidson was next with five points, while Swain and Nick Nesser completed the scoring with two points each. Beam, Nesser and Davidson led the guests with three rebounds apiece. With a date at the Convocation Center now reserved, Harrison is thrilled that his players have another game to play on the biggest stage in southeast Ohio. Harrison, however, admits that simply being there isn’t enough — especially for a group that loves knocking down historical barriers. Gallia Academy’s last district tournament victory also came in 2003 in the final against Jackson. The Blue Devils have played — and lost — in three games at the Convo since. “Our biggest goal this year wasn’t winning the league, it was getting to the Convo. These kids deserve this opportunity, and now we have it,” Harrison said. “We’ll enjoy this for now, but we cannot be satisfied with just getting there. There is still a lot of work to be done.” Bryan Walters can be reached at 740-446-2342, ext. 2101.

The RedStorm got back in the game briefly with three runs in the sixth inning, but the Eagles scored five times in the bottom of the sixth to take control once and for all. Cagle hit a first inning grand slam which gave RU a lead it would never relinquish, while Graves went 2-for-3 with three RBI and Ugarte was 2-for-4 with a home run. Trawick and Matthew Vaccaro also had two hits for the Eagles, while Jesus Palacios started and picked up the win. Rodriguez hit a threerun home run in the sixth inning for Rio Grande and finished 2-for-4 with six RBI, while Cluxton also had two hits. Senior starter Osvaldo Duran (Guayanilla, P.R.) suffered the loss for the RedStorm, allowing eight hits and nine runs over five innings. Rio Grande returns to action on Saturday, although its schedule has been altered by the threat of inclement weather. The RedStorm will face Reinhardt in the finale of their series at 11 a.m. before squaring off with Goshen (IN) College immediately afterward at 2 p.m. Randy Payton is the Sports Information Director at the University of Rio Grande.

OH-70029260 BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) — Ohio State guard C.J. Jackson relied on sheer instincts Friday night. Instead of going with the Buckeyes’ designed final play, he changed it on the fly. When Jackson finally got control of the pass in the closing seconds of double overtime, he faked another pass and spotted up for a 25-footerand that silenced Indiana’s crowd with 1.7 seconds left and gave No. 16 Ohio State an 80-78 victory. “You dream of playing in buildings like this when you’re younger and just to have one of these moments is unbelievable,” Jackson said after scoring 13 points. This wasn’t just another win for the Buckeyes (247, 15-3 Big Ten), either. They needed this one to have any hope of claiming a share of the conference crown in coach Chris Holtmann’s first season. They still need No. 2 Michigan State to lose Sunday at Wisconsin. And on a night Ohio State dealt with foul trouble and fatigue, Jackson’s brilliant switcheroo was exactly what Ohio State needed. “We ran a similar action for Jae’Sean Tate at the end of the first OT or whatever it was, and we didn’t execute that real well. The presence of mind to get the shot up,” Holtmann said, shaking his head. “I think CJ may prefer to take a 25-footer rather than get it in a little deeper.” He didn’t have much of a choice.
