Local history on display By Lorna Hart Special to OVP POMEROY — An assemblage of collections captured the attention of history buffs and novices alike at the Pomeroy Library on Saturday. Billed as a coin show, the event, organized by Bob Graham, turned into an eclectic group of collectors. Graham’s collection of photographs, tokens and coins, along with Jason Arnold’s bottles, Wayne Wilbur’s coins, and Jeff Morris’ stoneware told the story of local history in a tactile way, with everyday objects and photos. The Meigs County Historical Society was onhand to encour- age awareness of their organization and to share resources with those who want to know more about the county’s past. Graham’s interest in the history of Meigs County and the area in Mason County, West Virginia, from Letart to West Columbia, has led him to amass hundreds of well documented photographs of historic sites. While researching the photos, he found corresponding tokens, know as “a promise to pay,” and issued by merchants to promote trade at their establishment and to extend credit to customers. Tokens became popular in small stores in rural areas and usually Jeff Morris is pictured with his collection of stone jars and a book by Jim Stage that features Morris’ collection. had the merchant’s name or initials, the town and state, and a value printed on the piece.

The 7:30 p.m. concert takes place at the historic Ariel Opera House in Gallipolis under the direction of Maestro Ray Fowler in one of his ﬁnal performances. According to a statement from OVS: “Pandolﬁ will regale the audience with the Liszt Piano Concerto No. 1, a ﬂashy virtuosic piece written by the one of the best pianists of the 19th century. Liszt was quite a ‘bad boy’ celebrity of his time engaging in what was then scandalous activities, but he broke a number of musical boundaries including his use of different instruments in the orchestra, compositional innovations and his holistic ideas of inclusion of all the arts, music, drama, art, poetry and dance. Continuing with those concepts but more than a century later, Pandolﬁ will also perform the James Bond Piano See ARIEL | 5 INDEX News: 2 Obituary: 3 Opinion: 4 Weather: 5 Bracket: 6 Sports: 8 Classifieds: 10 Comics: 11 JOIN THE CONVERSATION What’s your take on today’s news?

For consideration of funding from the Appalachian Regional Commission (for federal ARC funding), Community Development Block Grants (CDBG) and the Economic Development Administration (EDA), applicants should complete a Project Proﬁle. The Proﬁle is now available at http://buckeyehills.org/development/ project-proﬁle/. Project funds are available in two distinct categories regional job training and public infrastructure. The simple, self-explanatory project proﬁle form collects basic information about projects including contact information, project description, type and readiness, regional impact, project partners, funding sources and total project costs. Qualifying state and local agencies and governmental entities, local governing boards (such as county commissioners), and nonproﬁt organizations (such as schools and organizations that build low-cost housing) may apply for the competitive public infrastructure grant programs. These same parties are eligible to apply for Regional Job Training funds, as well as private companies that may expand or improve employment opportunities in the region. Representatives from these organizations may draw from the expertise and assistance available from Buckeye Hills to navigate the grants process. Based on the project information provided, staff will determine the appropriate potential funding sources best matched with the activity described. Matching funds are required to secure public investments in eligible public infrastructure projects. Infrastructure projects must serve residents in one or more of the region’s eight counties: Athens, Hocking, Meigs, Monroe, Morgan, Noble, Perry, and Washington. While each funding source has speciﬁc goals, they generally address the following issues: creation/retention of private sector jobs; extension or upgrade of water or sewer services; provision of quality health care; provision of job skills training; and/or development or improvement of infrastructure for residents. In 2018, the project proﬁle will also include pre-applications for the Regional Job Training Program funded by The Ohio Development Services Agency (through The Ohio Governor’s Ofﬁce of Appalachia). This program is focused on providing opportunities in the Buckeye Hills region for workforce development and job training activities utilizing Ohio Casino Licensing Fee funds allocated to the Ohio Development Services Agency. Matching funds are not required for this program, but applicants who can contribute resources toward the completion of the proposed activity will be considered more competitively. Requests greater than $250,000 may require additional information and review. Applicant organizations are encouraged to leverage existing workforce programs in conjunction with regional job training resources requested from Buckeye Hills. Applicants are also encouraged to demonstrate meaningful outcomes in the follow- ing areas: businesses served, communities served, students served, workers/trainees served, businesses improved, communities improved, students improved, workers/trainees improved, costs reduced, jobs created, and jobs retained. Items listed as ‘served’ are those involved with or generally beneﬁting from the project, items listed as ‘improved’ indicates those receiving a measurable impact as a result of the project, such as an industry credential, certiﬁcate, academic degree, or similar. Regional Job Training projects should serve the same geographic areas as the public infrastructure program. The project proﬁle is available on the Buckeye Hills web site at http:// buckeyehills.org/development/project-proﬁle/. Upon selecting public infrastructure or regional job training, the form will provide the relevant ques- tions. All project proﬁles are due to Buckeye Hills no later than 4 p.m. April 10, 2018. Applicants are asked to prioritize their activities, and to submit no more than three projects for each program. For answers on questions regarding the project proﬁle process call Melissa Zoller at (740) 376-1027. Total costs for projects completed over the past year were approximately $50 million, with local communities and private business leveraging $19.5 million (39 percent) against the $30.8 million (61 percent) provided through state and federal funding sources. Buckeye Hills Regional Council helps local communities work cooperatively to improve the region. A voluntary organization of local governments, Buckeye Hills serves eight Southeastern Ohio counties including Athens, Hocking, Meigs, Monroe, Morgan, Noble, Perry and Washington.

MEIGS BRIEFS Shown by appointment only - 740-416-7853 �Opinion 4 Tuesday, March 20, 2018 Daily Sentinel THEIR VIEW Toys ‘R’ Us closing makes Parents ‘N’ Us nostalgic During the two years we were blessed to raise our little girl from Haiti, there was no bigger adventure than a trip to Toys ‘R’ Us. To adults, it might have been a megastore, big and boxy, but to a 5-year-old, it was Mitch Shangri-La. Albom All those toys in one place! I would Contributing lift her into the shopping cart and columnist push her up and down the aisles. She looked like a princess surveying her magic kingdom. “Stop here!” she’d squeal. “Stop here!” She knew she could only pick one toy to take home, those were the rules, but, oh, the possibilities! So it dug at my heart to read that Toys ‘R’ Us is closing down, likely shuttering all 800 of its stores, leaving landscapes of giant empty buildings and some 30,000 employees out of work. I know there are business reasons. Massive debt. Heavy competition. A reputation for poor customer service. But to 5-year-olds, it just means “no more toy store to go to.” And so, for a moment, let’s look at it that way. First, some history. Long before Toys ‘R’ Us was an idea, there were small local stores in cities and towns. They carried board games, dolls, cowboy outﬁts, ball and jacks sets. Then came the shopping mall in the 1950s, and chain stores and specialty shops began to spread, eventually putting small local stores out of business. About this time, a guy named Charles Lazarus, who owned a kids furniture shop near Washington, D.C., noticed that his customers kept requesting toys. And when he stocked them, he noticed those customers returned frequently — often to replace a toy their kids broke. Pretty soon, Lazarus was into toys exclusively. He grew his ﬁrst Toys ‘R’ Us store to resemble a supermarket. More stores followed. More after that. Dozens. Hundreds. For a while, they dominated the market as the only toy retailer even close to its size. With a giraffe as its mascot, Toys ‘R’ Us went public in 1978; toys had taken Lazarus all the way to the stock market. But when small gets big, others get interested. Soon, Lazarus had competition, especially when video games became a big part of the toy landscape. Other chain stores dove in, and by the mid1990s, Toys ‘R’ Us, which had become an international behemoth, was beginning to see declines. Lazarus retired in 1994. Eleven years later, in 2005, the company was sold off to private equity ﬁrms, who loaded it with debt. Box stores like Walmart and Target kept eating away at the business, and the Internet (meaning Amazon) was the ﬁnal blow. Toys ‘R’ Us, under the guidance of former University of Michigan athletic director Dave Brandon, ﬁled for bankruptcy last year. And last week it announced it will shut its doors for good. Small to big. Big to bigger. Bigger to nothing. So in many ways, this is just another example of the Pac-Man reality of American business. One dot eats the other dots until there’s only one dot left. But if that’s the case with the toy business, we will have lost something beyond variety. Going to Walmart for dolls, games or castles is, to a kid, sorry Walmart, not the same as going to an exclusive toy store. Going online to order an action ﬁgure or a miniature oven is, sorry Amazon, not the same as trying it out and saying to Mommy or Daddy, “Please? Can I have it? Please?” We once took Chika, our little girl, to New York City, and the ﬂagship Toys ‘R’ Us store in Times Square. I can still see her eyes bulging at the indoor Ferris Wheel, which we rode (several times) as she gazed out on ﬂoor after ﬂoor of toys. For her, this was like spinning through Wonderland. So was walking amongst giant stuffed animals — a virtual zoo of them — and sifting through racks of dresses, holding them up in a mirror and imagining herself as Cinderella or Belle. Countless kids had similar experiences at the famed FAO Schwartz, until it, too, closed its doors. You won’t get that kind of thing by typing in “dress + child + princess” on a computer screen. And while no one is saying an ocean of toys is good for a child’s perspective, and you certainly don’t make a weekly habit of that indulgence, the periodic visit doesn’t hurt a kid any more than the occasional ice cream. And if you can’t have some indulgent fun with children, who can you have it with? In the movie “Big,” a struggling toy maker thrives when a childish Tom Hanks gets to inhabit an adult’s body, and make deep-voiced decisions from the cortex of a 12-year-old’s brain. It works, because the company for kids is being steered by a kid. So with Toys ‘R’ Us heading to oblivion, I hope parents will think like a kid, and ﬁnd the handful of small toy stores still left out there. They can’t compete with inventory and they’ll likely have to See CLOSING | 5 THEIR VIEW Open letter to American Legion Post #27 You already know the American Legion is the largest veteran’s organization in George the United M. Allen States. Contributing You columnist already know the American Legion does more, nationally, for veterans than any other veteran’s organization. The American Legion provides lifechanging assistance and guidance for veterans, military personal, their families, and communities in thousands of ways every day. You know why it’s important to maintain your membership in the American Legion. Did you know that your Post 27 has one of the best, most knowledgeable and active Service Ofﬁcers in the State? Maybe because Post 27 doesn’t participate, you may have forgotten about: American Legion baseball, the essay contest, scouting, scholarship programs, boy’s state, boy’s nation, the oratorical contest, the family support network, or the homeless vet support program, and more, a lot more. Maybe you have forgotten that American Legion Lafayette Post 27 isn’t just a bar. It should be a lot more important than that to the members, the community and to the vets in our area. Why doesn’t Post 27 participate in any of these programs? Why doesn’t Post 27 have any committees or things like Legion Riders or cooking teams to take turns cooking for the Post? Just as Commander Huber said, “Post 27 is dying.” Why? Because the Commander can’t do it all by himself and the members aren’t helping. Simple as that! But that begs the ques- tions; why aren’t you coming to the meetings? Why aren’t you taking an ofﬁce? Why aren’t you on one of the committees? Why didn’t you bring in one new member this past year? Just one new member and maybe Post 27 wouldn’t be dying. Here’s a bombshell for you. Where are our lady vets? Why don’t we have more women joining Post 27? Is anyone making an effort to ﬁnd these vets and bring them in? And as for you, are you not happy with the way the Post is run? Are you not happy with the Ofﬁcers that are supposed to be running the Post? Do you feel nothing ever gets done, nothing ever changes? I’m just as guilty as you. I got tired of not being able to get anything done, so just like you, I quit. I quit going to the meetings. I quit going to the Saturday breakfast. I quit being an Ofﬁcer. I quit asking other vets to join Post 27. The truth is, no changes will be made nor will anything get done if you don’t come in and make the changes. If you don’t elect Ofﬁcers and committees who have “the good of the Legion” at heart. So, here is the challenge! Nominations and Elections are coming up very soon. It’s time for you to care and come out of reclusion. Time for you to step up for “the good of the Legion,” for the good of Post 27, to be an active part of making Post 27 worth being an American Legion Post, again. Time to come to the meetings, to nominate and elect Ofﬁcers that will work for you, to help you revive Post 27. George M. Allen of Crown City, Ohio, is a member of American Legion Lafayette Post #27. THEIR VIEW A new chapter in the never-ending toy story This editorial recently appeared in The Chicago Tribune. Toy stores are wondrous places for 8-yearolds and for the inner 8-year-old running amok in almost all of us. In some warehouse stores — like Toys R Us — shelves burst with shiny new baubles that overwhelm the eye, and often the credit card. The magic has faded for Toys R Us, which is planning to sell or close all its 735 U.S. stores. Executives blame the usual suspects — discounting and overbearing retailers like Walmart, gigantic internet competitors like Amazon.com. In other words, ﬁerce competition. Many retailers are under the same intense pressure as Toys R Us. The retail landscape shifts quickly in the internet age. That’s not an omen for the future, just a fact. Toys R Us capitalized on selection and price. But if its store presence dwindles, its customers’ toy options won’t. Hatchimals, Barbie, G.I. Joe, Star Wars light sabers, Hot Wheels, L.O.L. Surprise dolls and (name your favorite toy) will still be available, by click or at bricks-and-mortar stores. With this downsizing of an empire, there should be an opening for the smaller toy stores that may have struggled to keep up with the warehouse-style stores like Toys R Us. Maybe the fall of Toys R Us will embolden entrepreneurs to start up new stores that cater to moms and pops who crave a more manageable experience — taking a child to a neighborhood store that doesn’t just pluck boxes from shelves and transport them to the cashier, but lets kids explore and, above all, play. These cozier toy tableaux — many small toy stores already are thriving — could sell more parents on less frenzy and chaos than the typical whining-onevery-aisle model. Every store, big or small, can depend on the acquisitive instinct in every child. The tot mantra hasn’t changed in generations: See it, want it, persuade parent to buy it. Any parent who resists that edict risks a reckoning. Smart store owners will make sure many toys are at child eye-level. Hint, hint. Toys R Us is but the latest big toy retailer to capsize under debt and changing consumer habits. Remember FAO Schwarz, famous for its gaudy New York City ﬂagship store where “Big” movie stars Tom Hanks and Robert Loggia danced on the ﬂoor piano? Toys R Us bought FAO in 2009 and closed its Fifth Avenue store in 2015. But the new owner of FAO reportedly plans to open a new ﬂagship store in Manhattan and expand the brand into airports around the world. What dies is often reborn in a different form. As Toys R Us withers, we hope more independent toy sellers bloom. Like toys themselves, all it takes is imagination. TODAY’S BIRTHDAYS Singer Dame Vera Lynn is 101.

Instead of paying employees in cash, workers were given tokens that could only be used at the ”company store.” Graham observed banks and ﬁnancial institutions had their own system for transactions know as National Bank Notes. State and chartered private banks could issue these notes that could be circulated as legal tender and included the issuing bank’s national charter number and a serial number assigned to the note by that bank. The notes contained a wealth of historic information, and were soon added to his collection, along with post cards and coins. “I probably have about 4,000 photographs and over 100 tokens,“ Graham said. Graham himself is a wealth of information, never needing to refer to notes when asked about speciﬁc memorabilia. He casually picks up a photo book, ﬂips to a page, eraged buyouts. Small to big. Big to bigger. Bigger to nothing.

(AP) — Martin Truex Jr. saw nothing but clean air and green ﬂags down the stretch in his ﬁrst victory of the new NASCAR Cup season. Truex didn’t get much of a look at Kevin Harvick, whose bid for four straight wins was ruined by an early crash at Fontana. So even while Truex’s Furniture Row Racing Toyota team celebrated, it was a wee bit disappointed not to get a duel with the early-season king. “I think we would have had something for him today,” team owner Barney Visser said. Truex roared to victory at Fontana on Sunday, beating Kyle Larson by 11 seconds to claim the ﬁrst win of the season for last year’s series champion. Truex won both stages before rolling to the checkered ﬂag on his 16th career victory and his ﬁrst since that glorious championship day at Homestead last November. His ﬁrst career victory at Fontana even moved Truex into the overall points lead, thanks to Harvick’s woes. Harvick dragged his damaged car to a 35thplace ﬁnish after early contact with Larson ruined his day. But after dominating at Auto Club Speedway, Truex’s team was no longer certain Harvick has the fastest ride in the ﬁeld. “It just feels good to win,” said Truex, who became the third driver to win from the pole at Fontana. “I don’t really worry about who else is fast. Obviously (Harvick) has been quick. They’ve got a great team, and Kevin is an awesome driver. But as we’ve seen today, we can put together a run as well.” Truex took the lead for good with 32 laps left by getting past Kyle Busch, who ﬁnished third. Brad Keselowski was fourth. “People kept asking, ‘When are you going to win again?’” said Truex, who led 125 laps overall. “‘When are you going to win any stages?’ Well, here you go.” When Truex got a series of post-race questions about Harvick, the defending champ suggested that Furniture Row proved early on that it can hang with Stewart-Haas Racing. “That ﬁrst pit stop was under green, and he came in pretty close (to me),” Truex said. “We left pit road, and I drove away from him. That was the only gauge I really had of that. … I’m sure we’ll have plenty of chances to race each other throughout the rest of the season.” Here are more things to know about the race at Fontana: KEVIN’S SMACK: Harvick’s bid to become the 14th driver ever to win four straight races ended when he hit the wall after side-to-side contact with Larson on the 37th lap. Harvick’s ﬂapping bumper was the most obvious problem, but he made a nice save down the track to avoid an interior wall. Harvick took the blame for the mistake.

Warren | AP Ohio State head coach Chris Holtmann calls to his team during the second half of a second-round game against Gonzaga in the NCAA men’s college basketball tournament Saturday in Boise, Idaho. A season to remember COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — All indications were that this would be another forgettable year for Ohio State basketball. Coming off two disappointing seasons, the Buckeyes had the same core of players but a new coach in Chris Holtmann , who did his best in the preseason to tamp down expectations. But behind a healthy Keita Bates-Diop , reliable fellow senior Jae’Sean Tate and a cast of role players, Ohio State’s “rebuilding” year became a season to remember. Bates-Diop , who missed most of last season with a stress fracture of his left shin, averaged nearly 20 points per game and was chosen Big Ten Player of the Year. Holtmann, who came from Butler to replace the ﬁred Thad Matta last summer, snagged conference Coach of the Year honors. Ohio State opened its conference schedule 10-0 and cruised to 25-9 overall, far better than most people expected when Holtmann came aboard last summer. “We just kept growing together,” Holtmann said. “I’ve been proud of a lot of teams, but this one is up there.” The Buckeyes beat South Dakota State in the opening round of the NCAA Tournament on Thursday, but their run ended with a secondround loss to Gonzaga on Saturday night. “I couldn’t be more proud with our coaches and players the way we fought,” guard Kam Williams said. “We’re just extremely proud.” Jackson, another senior, was a stalwart at point guard, averaging 12.4 points and four assists. The Buckeyes started getting national attention after they knocked off No. 1 Michigan State at home on Jan. 7, then went to Purdue and beat the No. 3 Boilermakers a month later. “This group really turned a corner at some point,” Holtmann said. Bumps in the road Ohio State got as high as No. 8 in the AP Top 25 but couldn’t solve unranked Penn State , which kept the Buckeyes Bright spots from winning the Big In addition to BatesTen regular season, then Diop, the Buckeyes got leadership from Tate, who bounced them from the averaged 12.3 points and conference tournament.

C.J. will almost certainly leave for the NBA. The ﬁve of them accounted for around 55 points per game and the core of the team’s leadership. Williams was the most reliable 3-point threat. Bates-Diop said Saturday night that he hadn’t made a decision yet. But he has little incentive to stay around another year. It’s not clear how Holtmann will keep up the standards. Kaleb Wesson will be a key, along with his brother, rising junior Andre, who has played mostly off the bench the past two seasons. Micah Potter, the 6-9 rising junior who was expected to be better this season, will be looked to for leadership. Rising sophomore guard Musa Jallow and forward Kyle Young, both Holtmann recruits, will have to step into key roles. Incoming freshmen include shooting guard Luther Muhamad and power forward Jaedon LeDee — both ranked as one of the nation’s top 100 prospects — along with forward Justin Ahrens and point guard Duane Washington. �SPORTS Daily Sentinel Nevada tops Cincinnati 75-73 NHL All Times EDT EASTERN CONFERENCE Atlantic Division GP W L OT Pts GF GA Home Away Div Tampa Bay 72 49 19 4 102 260 202 26-8-2 23-11-2 15-7-2 Boston 70 45 17 8 98 235 179 25-7-4 20-10-4 15-5-2 Toronto 72 43 22 7 93 243 204 25-8-2 18-14-5 13-6-3 Florida 69 35 27 7 77 210 216 22-11-3 13-16-4 12-6-2 Montreal 72 26 34 12 64 182 230 17-11-8 9-23-4 10-8-5 Ottawa 71 26 34 11 63 197 244 15-14-6 11-20-5 8-11-4 Detroit 72 26 35 11 63 184 224 13-14-8 13-21-3 6-13-4 Buffalo 71 23 36 12 58 172 232 11-20-5 12-16-7 10-8-3 Metropolitan Division GP W L OT Pts GF GA Home Away Div Washington 72 41 24 7 89 225 214 25-9-2 16-15-5 13-7-3 Pittsburgh 72 41 26 5 87 237 218 26-8-1 15-18-4 15-6-1 Philadelphia 73 37 25 11 85 218 215 18-13-6 19-12-5 11-7-5 Columbus 72 39 28 5 83 200 199 24-11-2 15-17-3 13-10-3 New Jersey 72 37 27 8 82 217 215 18-14-3 19-13-5 12-9-1 Carolina 72 31 30 11 73 194 225 16-14-6 15-16-5 9-10-5 N.Y.

Top three teams in each division and two wild cards per conference advance to playoffs. NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Nevada’s Jordan Caroline sat in the Wolf Pack’s locker room and shouted the three words that were being repeated in households across the country. “What just happened?!?” Only a comeback that matched the secondlargest in NCAA Tournament history. Nevada rallied from 22 points down in the ﬁnal 11 minutes Sunday to stun No. 2 seed Cincinnati 75-73 and earn its second Sweet 16 appearance ever. Josh Hall converted an offensive rebound with 9.1 seconds left to make the tiebreaking basket and give Nevada its only lead of the night. “It’s such an unimaginable feeling,” Caroline said. The seventh-seeded Wolf Pack (28-7) move on to an all-upstart South Region semiﬁnal matchup with 11thseeded Loyola-Chicago (30-5) on Thursday night in Atlanta. Nevada’s only previous regional semiﬁnal appearance came in 2004. Nevada earned its trip to Atlanta because Cody Martin led a comeback for the ages. The only bigger comeback in NCAA history came in 2012, when BYU beat Iona after trailing by 25 points. Nevada’s rally is tied for second place with Duke, which erased a 22-point deﬁcit to beat Maryland in the 2001 Final Four. “That locker room right now, I’ve never seen anything like it in my life,” Nevada coach Eric Musselman said. “It’s the happiest I’ve ever seen. It’s the happiest I’ve ever been in my life.” NBA National Basketball Association All Times EDT EASTERN CONFERENCE Atlantic Division W L Pct GB x-Toronto 52 18 .743 — x-Boston 47 23 .671 5 Philadelphia 38 30 .559 13 New York 25 45 .357 27 Brooklyn 22 48 .314 30 Southeast Division W L Pct GB Washington 40 30 .571 — Miami 37 33 .529 3 Charlotte 30 40 .429 10 Orlando 21 49 .300 19 Atlanta 20 50 .286 20 Central Division W L Pct GB Cleveland 40 29 .580 — Indiana 40 30 .571 ½ Milwaukee 37 32 .536 3 Detroit 30 39 .435 10 Chicago 24 45 .348 16 WESTERN CONFERENCE Southwest Division W L Pct GB y-Houston 56 14 .800 — San Antonio 40 30 .571 16 New Orleans 40 30 .571 16 22 48 .314 19 50 .275 Northwest Division W L Pct Portland 44 26 .629 Oklahoma City 43 29 .597 Utah 40 30 .571 Minnesota 40 31 .563 Denver 38 32 .543 Pacific Division W L Pct y-Golden State 53 17 .757 L.A.

I think that’s my fault for coming down the racetrack right there and trying to sidedraft, and then as we touch, it just came back up the racetrack. I was just trying to get a little too much right there.” Harvick’s car was repaired, and he managed to earn two standings points. Harvick had won in Atlanta, Las Vegas and Phoenix before arriving in his home state for an attempt to become the second driver in this century to win four straight. Clean sweep Truex won both stages and a race for the third time in his career. He also accomplished the feat at Las Vegas and Chicagoland during his championship 2017 season. “I would have liked to be one spot better, but I couldn’t even see Teams JJ in 9th Six-time Fontana champ Jimmie Johnson ﬁnished ninth for his ﬁrst top-10 ﬁnish of the season, ending a 10-race skid outside the top 10 — the worst such stretch of his career. Johnson’s winless streak reached 28 races, also his longest in a career that began in 2001. Back and forth Truex and Busch traded the lead during the ﬁnal stage, but Busch had a problematic pit stop that left his car handling poorly. Truex passed Busch for good with 32 laps to go. Busch was less than pleased afterward. Who’s hot Larson didn’t let that early contact stop him from recording his best ﬁnish in 13 races since last season.

Matthew Fraulini, So; Tuesday, March 20, 2018 9 While Nevada celebrated, Cincinnati’s players stood silently in their locker room wondering how their defense that ranked second among all Division I teams allowed 32 points in the last 11 minutes. The Bearcats also failed to make a single basket in the ﬁnal 5 minutes, 45 seconds. Cincinnati forward Gary Clark, the American Athletic Conference player of the year, calmly answered questions for several minutes and blamed himself for not beating Hall to the rebound that decided the game. “I’ve probably got a million text messages saying you had a great year and career, but it comes down to that last rebound,” said Clark, who had 11 points and 10 boards. “It could have gotten my team over the hump.” Hall instead got the rebound, made a move in the paint and put up a shot that hit the front rim, softly kissed the glass and went through the net. “I saw an opening and tried to put as much touch on it as possible because of how close I was,” said Hall, who scored 14 points. Cincinnati’s Cane Broome raced up the court, brieﬂy lost control of the ball and then appeared to try putting up a shot that Nevada’s Caleb Martin knocked away. Clark and Caroline then chased after the ball as the ﬁnal seconds ticked away. Once the ﬁnal horn sounded, a jubilant Caroline slid toward midcourt while Clark lay on his back under the basket. Television cameras caught Musselman taking off his shirt as he headed into a boisterous locker-room celebration. “It’s crazy,” Caleb Martin said. “Coach works out every morning, so his shirt comes off a lot. So I know he’s deﬁnitely going to use this as an excuse to take it off, show a little bit of his muscle.” “Especially in March, you know that nobody’s ever out,” Clark said. “I think we’re an example for many young people and many other teams in the tournament, that you can’t let up at all. You’ve got to just ﬁgure out a way to get stops and get baskets.” Cody Martin led Nevada’s furious rally by collecting 25 points, six rebounds and seven assists with no turnovers. His twin brother Caleb tied the game by making a fadeaway 3-pointer from in front of Nevada’s bench with 54 seconds left. Nevada’s rally came two days after the Wolf Pack erased a 14-point, second-half deﬁcit to beat Texas 87-83 in overtime for its ﬁrst NCAA Tournament victory since 2007. Cincinnati (31-5) scored the game’s ﬁrst 10 points and was up 44-32 at halftime, the ﬁfth straight time Nevada has trailed at the intermission. Cincinnati extended its advantage to 65-43 on Jarron Cumberland’s basket with 11:37 left. Nevada outscored Cincinnati 32-8 the rest of the way. “Especially in March, you know that nobody’s ever out,” Clark said. “I think we’re an example for many young people and many other teams in the tournament, that you can’t let up at all. You’ve got to just ﬁgure out a way to get stops and get baskets.” Big picture Nevada: Consider the Wolf Pack comeback kings. Nevada has trailed at halftime in ﬁve straight games and is still in the Sweet 16. Nevada eventually will have to start producing faster starts in order to keep advancing. Cincinnati: The Bearcats won the American regular-season and tournament titles while tying a school singleseason record for wins, but this second-round collapse seriously tarnishes what had been a special year. Jacob Evans II had 19 points and Cumberland had 17, but they combined for just eight in the second half. Notable numbers Cincinnati outrebounded Nevada 44-33 and outscored the Wolf Pack 20-9 in second-chance points but couldn’t get that critical rebound with the game tied in the ﬁnal minute. … Nevada committed only two turnovers against one of the nation’s stingiest defenses. Quotable “We had a big lead,” Cincinnati coach Mick Cronin said. “They gambled and just started trapping at halfcourt, gave us a lot of wide-open shots that we didn’t make. And it got real, real physical around the rim, and I’ll let you take it from there on that. When we had chances around the rim, it was unbelievable what was happening.” Up next Nevada is on to Atlanta. Cincinnati has a long offseason ahead as it wonders how it let this game slip away.

TV14 �SPORTS/CLASSIFIEDS 10 Tuesday, March 20, 2018 Daily Sentinel WVU hammers Thundering Herd, 94-71 SAN DIEGO (AP) — Two in-state foes being forced back together on the court by the NCAA Tournament thousands of miles from home became a one-sided celebration for West Virginia. Jevon Carter was the one leading the way. Carter scored 28 points, Lamont West added 18 off the bench and West Virginia overwhelmed its in-state rival beating Marshall 94-71 on Sunday night in the second-round of the NCAA Tournament. The Mountain State showdown out on the West Coast was all about the ﬁfth-seeded Mountaineers. Bigger, more physical and making fewer mistakes, West Virginia (26-10) took control with a 19-0 ﬁrsthalf run. Carter’s three 3-pointers in the ﬁrst ﬁve minutes of the second half made sure there wouldn’t be a rally coming from the 13th-seeded Thundering Herd. Carter added ﬁve assists, ﬁve steals and four rebounds and did it in just 29 minutes, sending West Virginia back to the round of 16 for the second straight year. The Mountaineers will face top-seeded Villanova next Friday. “We did it for the state,” West said. “We just wanted to go out there and play hard. We knew that we didn’t want to go home with (a loss) and we did what we could do.” Aside from his scoring, Carter was the leader of West Virginia’s swarming defense that made the night miserable for the Herd. Marshall star Jon Elmore had more turnovers than points in the ﬁrst half and was held to 15 points after scoring 27 points in the upset of Wichita State. Ajdin Penava led the Herd (25-11) with 18 points, but Marshall had 18 turnovers and shot just 39 percent. “You’re not going to set up and run offense against this team, especially the way they played tonight because it was a full press the while time,” Marshall coach Dan D’Antoni said. The ﬁrst meeting between the in-state rivals since 2015 when their annual series abruptly ended was a big enough event that West Virginia Gov. Jim Justice ﬂew out to watch the game in person. Wearing a blazer that was half dark blue and half green, Justice spent the ﬁrst half on the West Virginia sideline and the second half with the Marshall cheering section. There wasn’t much cheering from the Marshall fans as West Virginia led by as many as 31 in the second half. But this was decided in the ﬁrst 20 minutes thanks to West Virginia’s dominant run to take control. While Carter, West and their teammates were getting easy looks at the offensive end, Marshall became careless with the ball and missed a number of shots around the rim. After taking an 18-11 lead, Marshall missed six layups in the ﬁnal 13 minutes of the ﬁrst half and watched West Virginia surge ahead. Elmore was the most notable Marshall player to struggle with West Virginia’s pressure ﬁnishing the ﬁrst half with just three points — scored in the ﬁrst 65 seconds of the game — and six turnovers. “We just tried to make it hard for him. We played team defense and we frustrated him a little bit. He just didn’t know where to throw the ball and ended up causing him to turn the ball over,” West Virginia guard James Bolden said. West Virginia led 42-25 at the half and Carter’s early 3s to start the second half ended any thought of a rally. Carter had 17 points in the second half. “We don’t just want to go to the Sweet 16,” Carter said. Quotable D’Antoni reiterated after the loss the series between the schools should be restarted. “The game that we played should be played all the time. We would be better. It’s better for West Virginia. Nobody lost this game. We won. We had the passion of West Virginia people there, passion of Marshall people there. That’s what life is about,” he said. Big picture Marshall: It wasn’t 3-point shooting that was the problem. Marshall was 12 of 26 from deep, but just 10 of 30 on its shots inside the arc. The combination of turnovers and poor shooting inside the 3-point line was far too much to overcome. West Virginia: The Mountaineers have been knocked out in the regional semiﬁnals in each of their last two trips to the Sweet 16. West Virginia was eliminated by Kentucky in 2015 in a 39-point blowout and last year lost by three to Gonzaga. West Virginia has lost in the round of 16 in four of its last ﬁve trips there. The one exception was 2010 when the Mountaineers reached the Final Four. Up next Marshall: The Herd should again be contenders in Conference USA next year with all ﬁve starters returning. West Virginia: The Mountaineers will face Villanova. West Virginia has faced Villanova just once in the NCAA Tournament in 1962. NCAA tournament amps up the March Madness One word succinctly describes what’s transpired so far in the NCAA Tournament: Madness. But even that’s probably underselling it. A comeback for the ages by Nevada. An entire region left without a Top 4 seed in the Sweet 16 for the ﬁrst time in tourney history. The 16-seed winner UMBC, falling short in its attempt to extend its historic run as underdog darlings. Oh, and defending national champion North Carolina is out, routed in its own state by Texas A&M. And that was just on Sunday. When No. 1 seed Xavier was bounced, too. A memorable, zany ﬁrst two rounds — even by March Madness standards — set up what could be another wild two weekends in a tournament where anything can become reality. “It’s what makes March Madness special and it kills the coaches because it’s so hard and you think you have a great team,” Kansas State coach Bruce Weber said. “It’s March Madness and you never know what’s going to happen.” Before the ﬁrst tipoff on Thursday, many prognosticators had deemed this tournament one of the most wide-open in recent history. It’s turned into a nutty, once-in-a-generation kind of ride. Loyola-Chicago won two thrillers to get to the Sweet 16, making a social media star out of their 98-year-old chaplain, Sister Jean. And then the telegenic nun who provides her own scouting reports to players got overshadowed by the ultimate Cinderella team. The UMBC Retrievers became the ﬁrst No. 16 seed in the history of the men’s tournament to beat a No. 1 seed, defeating Virginia in the ﬁrst round Friday night. By 20 points. Over the top overall seed and the unanimous No. 1 team in the AP poll. The Retrievers’ run came to an end on Sunday night in a 50-43 loss to ninth-seeded Kansas State, but not before tattooing a lasting imprint on American sports, drawing attention from stars of the NFL, NBA and Twitch — and love from underdogs everywhere. “We put our name on the map. We (gave) hope to teams that come to the tournament with lower seeds,” guard K.J. Maura said. UMBC’s success story contributed to the messy, unprecedentedly jumbled bracket in the South Region, where the highest-remaining seed is No. 5 Kentucky. It’s the ﬁrst time in tourney history that a regional semiﬁnal will be held without a top 4 seed, according to the NCAA. Seventh-seeded Nevada added to that by matching the secondbiggest comeback in tournament history to beat No. 2 seed Cincinnati 75-73 after trailing by 22 points in the second half. “That locker room right now, I’ve never seen anything like it in my life. It’s the happiest I’ve ever seen. It’s the happiest I’ve ever been in my life,” Wolf Pack coach Eric Musselman said. The way reigning champion North Carolina got bounced from the tournament in an 86-65 loss to Texas A&M might have been the top storyline on any other tournament day. It left coach Roy Williams with the most lopsided tournament loss of his Hall of Fame career. It was also the second straight year the titleholder lost before the Sweet 16. And it happened in UNC-friendly territory in Charlotte, North Carolina, where the Tar Heels hadn’t lost a tourney game since 1979. “I didn’t picture it ending it like this,” said Williams with his players sitting nearby. “I pictured it ending with these guys having a huge smile on their face, but that’s not college basketball.” Who’s left A look at the teams and matchups for the Sweet 16 by region.

Arizona’s Deandre Ayton, Oklahoma’s Trae Young, Missouri’s Michael Porter Jr., Alabama’s Collin Sexton and Texas’ Mohamed Bamba are all considered potential NBA lottery picks whenever they decide to turn pro. They’re also all out of the NCAA Tournament after facing the harsh reality that sometimes individual talent isn’t enough in March. Sexton is the only freshman from that group who even reached the second round. “I hate losing,” Young said after Oklahoma’s ﬁrst-round overtime loss to Rhode Island . “That’s not in my DNA, losing.” One lesson these freshmen are learning is rather obvious: It always helps to be surrounded by experienced players or equally talented freshmen. Only three of the top seven prospects from the 2017 recruiting class according to the 247Sports Composite remain in the tournament. It’s probably no coincidence that all three of them play for the same school: Duke. Duke’s Marvin Bagley, Trevon Duval and Wendell Carter Jr. are in the regional semiﬁnals after helping the Blue Devils Ted S. Warren | AP Arizona’s Deandre Ayton, left, and Rawle Alkins walk off the court after Arizona lost 89-68 to Buffalo in a first-round game of the NCAA men’s college basketball tournament Thursday in Boise, Idaho. win their ﬁrst two NCAA Tournament games by an average margin of 23½ points. Duke has ﬁve players — including four freshmen — with NCAA Tournament scoring averages in double ﬁgures thus far. “Just being able to share the wealth in between one another and for us to be all together and be unselﬁsh, it’s a great thing,” Carter said. The Duke freshmen say they have beneﬁted from having talented classmates around them who are going through similar situations. They’ve also worked alongside senior guard Grayson Allen and his wealth of postseason experience. “That’s the reason I came to Duke, to play with a lot of great guys who I’ve seen play before and to be able to team up with these guys and ﬁgure out each other and work together,” Bagley said. “It’s a great feeling.” VOTE NOW! 2018 CutestContest Pet Think your Pet has what it takes to be crowned the cutest pet around?

Freshmen Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Hamidou Diallo, PJ Washington and Kevin Knox have averaged a combined 66 points in two NCAA Tournament games. Many of the notable freshmen who were ousted from the NCAA Tournament played quite well. Young had 28 points and seven assists against Rhode Island. Ayton had 14 points and 13 rebounds in Arizona’s loss to Buffalo . Bamba had 13 points and 14 rebounds before fouling out of an overtime loss to Nevada. Porter played just three games for Missouri all season because of a lower back injury that required surgery , but he had 16 points and 10 rebounds against Florida State . Sexton averaged 21 points in his two NCAA Tournament games. “For anybody not to remember Deandre as the greatest freshman that ever walked through Arizona, they weren’t paying attention, statistically and just the type of kid he is,” Arizona coach Sean Miller said. “He’s destined to do some great things. When you get someone like him, you want to go all the way, right? And when you lose in the ﬁrst round, that’s a tough pill to swallow.” But in many cases, they didn’t have enough help. For instance, Sexton was the only Alabama player to score in double ﬁgures in the Crimson Tide’s second-round loss to Villanova. Now these freshmen will have to sit and watch the rest of the NCAA Tournament while learning from the frustrating ﬁnishes to their seasons. “I left everything I could, and I know my teammates did as well, (left) everything they could on that ﬂoor,” Young said. “But I’ve had to mature, like I said, all season. This is all the process. This is all - this is a chapter in my book. This season, that chapter is closed now.” Seminoles oust Xavier, 75-70 NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Florida State senior Phil Cofer knows the biggest key to making any comeback, especially in the NCAA Tournament. Don’t get rattled. Now the Florida State Seminoles are on their way to the NCAA Tournament’s round of 16 for the ﬁrst time since 2011 after upsetting top-seeded Xavier with a furious rally. PJ Savoy made a 3- pointer with 1:08 left to give Florida State its ﬁrst lead of the second half, and the Seminoles rallied from a 12-point deﬁcit to beat the Musketeers 75-70 on Sunday night in the second round of the West Region. “Everybody kept their composure, and that’s what you got to do in March Madness,” Cofer said. “And I think we did it.” The Seminoles did just that when trailing by 12 with 10:42 left and outscored Xavier 31-14 down the stretch, including the ﬁnal seven points of the game. “We were much better than Xavier in the last two and a half minutes of the game,” Florida State coach Leonard Hamilton said. “Sometimes when the games are close, that’s all that’s important.” They made Xavier the second No. 1 seed ousted in tournament’s ﬁrst weekend, sending the Musketeers (29-6) out along with Virginia. It’s a painful ending for a team that returned four starters from a team that lost in the Elite Eight last year — to Gonzaga, the team Florida State (22-11) will play Thursday night in Los Angeles. “Obviously, tough loss for our group,” Xavier coach Chris Mack said . “Pretty emotional ending, the ﬁnality of what I think is the greatest sporting event in our country.” Senior guard J.P. Macura said he felt this was the best team he’s played on. “For us to lose this early, it just, it feels terrible,” a quiet Macura said in the locker room. Savoy also hit a pair of free throws with 21.6 seconds left putting Florida State up 73-70. Kerem Kanter shot an air ball from beyond the arc at the top of the key with 7 seconds to go for Xavier, and CJ Walker added a pair of free throws with 6.4 seconds remaining. Terance Mann picked off a long pass by Paul Scruggs off Xavier’s inbound pass before running in front of Seminoles’ fans to start the party. After jumping around on the court and hugging, the jubilant Seminoles ran over to their fans in the stands and slapped high-ﬁves. This was sweet payback for Florida State after then-No. 11 seed Xavier routed the Seminoles 91-66 a year ago in the very same round in the same region. Hamilton lost his top three scorers — two to the NBA Draft — from that team. “Deﬁnitely … ,” Cofer said. “I don’t think anybody gets a chance to play them again two times in a year.” The Musketeers didn’t get the chance to run away this time around after they took a 12-point lead. They led 56-44 with 10:42 left. But Xavier didn’t score a ﬁeld goal after Kanter’s jumper with 3:56 left for a 68-66 lead. Mﬁondu Kabengele scored his second straight bucket tying it up at 68 with 2:32 to go. Scruggs hit two free throws with 1:49 left, and that was the last points for Xavier. The Musketeers turned it over three times after that, twice by star Trevon Bluiett. Braian Angola led ﬁve Seminoles in double ﬁgures with 16 points. Trent Forrest added 13, Savoy ﬁnished with 11, and Cofer and Mann each had 10. Macura led Xavier with 17 points, Kerem Kanter had 15 and Scruggs had 11. Big picture Florida State: This will be just the ﬁfth Sweet 16 appearance for the Seminoles and second under Hamilton. … The Seminoles had lost their ﬁrst two games against No. 1 seeds in the NCAA Tournament, losing to Kentucky in 1980 and 1993. They also beat Xavier for the ﬁrst time in three tries. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
