Jay Edwards helps a child at Munchkin City try on his new coat. MIDDLEPORT — Children at Munchkin City received warm coats on Monday afternoon during a visit from the Children’s Hunger Alliance (CHA) and State Representative Jay Edwards (R-Nelsonville). CHA and Rep. Edwards took part in the visit not only to hand out the coats, but to focus attention on how CHA-sponsored childcare centers are helping provide healthy meals to children in high-need neighborhoods. According to the CHA, over 75 percent of the enrolled children qualify for free or reduced-price meals putting them at greater risk for food insecurity. The coats were provided by the Governor’s Ofﬁce of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives through Operation Warm. Fado Pub and Kitchen in Dubin also provided additional winter coats and accessories donated by their customers. Edwards handed out the coats to each of the children, helping them to try on their new coats. CHA is one of the largest statewide sponsors of the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) which provides reimbursements to daycare centers assisting them in providing healthy meals to the children they care for. Munchkin City Daycare in Middleport, which is operated by Serena Larsen, currently serves 54 children. The day care provides services to children from birth up, including school age children who are at Munchkin City after school. CHA Director of Government Affairs Scott Neely and CACFP specialist Mary Lantz were on hand on behalf of CHA. Neely explained that the CHA works with more than 1,000 facilities with USDA programing to provide meals for children. Munchkin City is the ﬁrst day care facility in Meigs County to be part of the See COAT | 5 Council hears from Buckeye Hills By Lorna Hart Special to the Sentinel MIDDLEPORT — A presentation by members of Buckeye Hills Regional Council was the focus of Middleport Village Council’s regularly scheduled Monday evening. Buckeye Hills Regional Council was established in 1968 with a mission to “improve the lives of residents in southeast Ohio”, and serves as a forum through which local communities work cooperatively towards that goal. According to their website, they are the local contact for many state and federal programs, write comprehensive development plans, identify trends in the region, and look for opportunities to promote the general health and welfare of the areas residents. The Council collaborates with elected ofﬁcials from Athens, Hocking, Meigs, Monroe, Morgan, Noble, Perry, and Washington counties in their efforts to “grow strong communities”, and is made up of ﬁve divisions: Aging and Disability, Community Development, Mapping and Data, Population Health, and Transportation Planning. Mayor Fred Hoffman had reached out to the organization for assistance in envisioning the revitalization of the downtown area. Buckeye Hills Executive Director Misty Crosby and her team explained what the group could bring to Middleport’s planning efforts, beginning with a needs assessment and identiﬁcation of priorities from Council. Later, that effort would include Village residents, and business owners. “Buckeye Hills represents all local governments in the area,” Crosby said. “We understand your struggles, and can help bring resources to the community in a number of ways, including linking residents with services and a loan fund for small businesses.” She stressed the importance of identifying the Village needs and priorities before deciding on any major undertakings, as did Development Director See COUNCIL | 2 INDEX Obituary: 2 News: 3 Church: 4 Church Directory: 5 Sports: 6 TV: 7 Classifieds: 8 Comics: 9 Weather: 10 Photos by Sarah Hawley | Sentinel Book sponsors are pictured with Meigs Primary students, Librarian Kim Wolfe, and therapy dog Axel.

Nurse Honor Guard Nurses celebrate the lives of colleagues By Dean Wright deanwright@aimmediamidwest.com OHIO VALLEY — Since last summer, a group of Appalachian women have gathered together as nurses to remember the causes of nurses and celebrate their lives after they have moved on from this world. “It’s a nurse honor guard group and we’ve been performing tributes to our fallen col- leagues since summer of last year,” said Nurse Honor Guard of the Ohio Valley President Jan Holcomb. “We just want to get the word out there to let people know that this is a free service for anyone that’s been a nurse and dedicated their life (to serving others).” Holcomb said that groups such as the Ohio Valley organization had been forming all over the U.S. for the last few years.

Edwards commented that it is important to see ﬁrst hand the work that is being done and see where the funding ﬁlters down to, having the hands on experience and seeing how happy the kids are. After handing out the coats, Edwards spent time with the children as they had a snack, following by dancing and singing. By providing the coats, the hope is that it will eliminate an expense for parents who may have to choose between purchasing coats or food and other necessities. “While new coats will certainly keep children warm, they will also help families eliminate this expense allowing them to focus on purchasing other essentials like food. Lack of proper nutrition negatively impacts a child’s ability to grow and learn, and ultimately limiting their ability to become a productive adult and break the cycle of poverty,” stated the CHA. �� Coat rd, 9 to 3 Sat.,March March7th, 2nd, 9 to 55 ***Sun., ** Sun., March March 38th, Sat., 9 to 3 Assembly Hall, Greene County Fairgrounds, Xenia, Oh 68 North to West Ankeney Mill Rd. to 120 Fairgrounds Rd.

Lent is the weeks that precede Easter. It is a time where we pray and get ready for Easter after Jesus was cruciﬁed and rose again early that Sunday morning. Do you know what the word temptation means? Temptation is wanting to do something which we know we should not do. We all face temptations every day, and it is hard to resist sometimes. It isn’t a sin to be Ann tempted unless we do what we know Moody is wrong. Even Jesus was tempted in Contributing our Bible verses for this week. columnist Matthew 4, verses 1-11 tells us about the temptation of Jesus. After Jesus was baptized, He went out into the desert to pray. He stayed there fasting (going without food) for 40 days because He was trying to learn from His Father, God, what He was to do. You can imagine how hungry Jesus must have been! Suddenly, Satan came and said to Jesus, “You don’t have to be hungry. If You really are the Son of God, turn these stones into bread and eat.” Jesus did not listen to the devil, but told him, “Man does not live on bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.” So Satan tried something else. Next, Satan took Jesus to the holy city up on the highest part of the temple. “If You are the Son of God, jump off, and God will send His angels to catch You.” Jesus knew it was wrong to test God, so He said, “Do not put the Lord your God to the test.” Finally Satan tried for a third time. Satan took Jesus to a very high mountain and showed Jesus the entire world below. He told Jesus, “All of this can be Yours. I will give it to You if You will bow down and worship me.” Jesus answered, “Go away from me Satan! It is written to worship the Lord your God and serve only Him.” Even though the devil tried to get Jesus to give into temptation and sin, He did not. Jesus remembered what the scriptures said, and it helped Him to do what was right and not give into temptation. We too have times when we are tempted to do something we know we shouldn’t. The temptations for different people may be different as well. I might be tempted to spread gossip where you might be tempted to disobey your parents, for example. It helps to remember what the Bible tells us to do and wants us to be like and also how Jesus won over His temptations by remembering those exact same things. God gave us the Bible and its stories to help us to know how He wants us to live. That is why it’s important to know what is in the Bible, so we can be like Jesus. Let’s say a prayer together. Father God, thank You for giving us the Bible: its scriptures and stories that show us how to live for You. Thank You for sending Jesus as our example. Help us to study Your Holy Word and learn what it teaches us, so we will be able to resist temptations when they come. In Your name we pray. Amen.

There are 307 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History On Feb. 28, 1953, scientists James D. Watson and Francis H.C. Crick announced they had discovered the double-helix structure of DNA. On this date In 1844, a 12-inch gun aboard the USS Princeton exploded as the ship was sailing on the Potomac River, killing Secretary of State Abel P. Upshur, Navy Secretary Thomas W. Gilmer and several others. In 1917, The Associated Press reported that the United States had obtained a diplomatic communication sent by German Foreign Minister Arthur Zimmermann to a German ofﬁcial in Mexico proposing a German alliance with Mexico and Japan should the U.S. enter World War I. (Outrage over the telegram helped propel America into the conﬂict.) In 1942, the heavy cruiser USS Houston and the Australian light cruiser HMAS Perth were attacked by Japanese forces during the World War II Battle of Sunda Strait; both were sunk shortly after midnight on March 1 with a total loss of more than 1,000 men. In 1975, 42 people were killed in London’s Underground when a train smashed into the end of a tunnel. In 1983, the long-running TV series “M-A-SH” ended after 11 seasons on CBS with a special 2½-hour ﬁnale that was watched by an estimated 121.6 million people. In 1988, the 15th Olympic Winter Games held its closing ceremony in Calgary, Alberta. In 1993, a gun battle erupted at a religious compound near Waco, Texas, when Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms agents tried to arrest Branch Davidian leader David Koresh on weapons charges; four agents and six Davidians were killed as a 51-day standoff began. In 1996, Britain’s Princess Diana agreed to divorce Prince Charles. (Their 15-year marriage ofﬁcially ended in August 1996; Diana died in a car crash in Paris a year after that.) CHURCH Daily Sentinel Welcome number nine! I was in a restaurant one afternoon last week when I received the following text message from Jeshua, “We are at the hospital. The baby is on the way.” It was expected news, and it was exciting news. By the time Terry and I arrived at Sentera Hospital in Williamsburg, Virginia, the next day, Elias B. Branch had been born. Brother Micaiah even accompanied us on the trip. Mother Megan and child had done very well, for which we thank the Lord. After three girls, Jeshua ﬁnally got a son. For Terry and me, it makes nine grandbabies. There are now ﬁve granddaughters, and four grandsons for us. I am very happy to have them all. The girls—-“my girls”—-have me wrapped around their little ﬁnger. The boys make me very proud. I have a three point prayer for them while I still live. First, my prayer for each of them is that the Lord will raise them up to be mighty giants for Him. I pray for their early salvation. At least four them have already received Jesus Christ as the personal Lord and For example, He Savior, but I pray said, “Let your for completed light shine before conversions for men that they the whole group. might see your Then, I pray that good works, and they will grow to glorify your Father be obedient to which is in HeavHim, live out His Ron en.” Apostle Paul expectations, and Branch practice His prin- Contributing added, “That you may be blameless ciples.

I pray that our grandbabies will be constantly positioned to practice them for the sake of society at large. Third, my prayer for each of them is that they will allow God to fulﬁll His will and purposes in their lives. What this has in mind has to do with personal spiritual growth. It has to do with having personal experience with God, which leads to getting to know God. It has to do with getting to the point of absolutely trusting God. Life is particularly rigorous if you are not exercised by the will and purposes of God in your life. My prayer is that the lives of my grandbabies will be blessed and enhanced by the will and purposes of God. I will tell you this—-I told Elias before I left him, “Now, son, Paw says that he does expect that you run for 1500 yards your freshman year in high school football, and maybe have one hundred and twenty-ﬁve tackles. Okay?” Well, just hush my mouth! Pastor Ron Branch lives in Mason County and is pastor of Hope Baptist Church, Middleport, Ohio. CROSS WORDS Sovereign in the silence, II Here’s how Esther begins: “Now in the days of Ahasuerus, the Ahasuerus who reigned from India to Ethiopia over 127 provinces, in those days when King Ahasuerus sat on his royal throne in Susa, the citadel” (v. 1-2 ESV). This king reigns over the vast Persian Empire where numerous Jews live as exiles. King Ahasuerus soon throws a massive party. The Bible says, “… in the third year of his reign he gave a feast for all his ofﬁcials and servants. The army of Persia and Media and the nobles and governors of the provinces were before him, while he showed the riches of his royal glory and the splendor and pomp of his greatness for many days, 180 days” (v. 3-4 ESV). It’s common for a biblical book to begin by describing the glory of a king. The difference between Esther and most other books, however, is that Esther opens by describing a glorious king who isn’t God. King Ahasuerus is so full of himself that he has a banquet to display his own wealth and glory for half a year. Think about that. Here’s a king who launches an extravagant party for himself. And as if the ﬁrst banquet isn’t enough, King Ahasuerus throws an after-party. “And when these days were completed, the king gave for all the people present in Susa the citadel, both great and small, The cups are a feast lasting for believed to have seven days in the come from the court of the garden Temple itself.

The passage ends hangings fastened with with these words: “Queen cords of ﬁne linen and Vashti also gave a feast purple to silver rods and for the women in the palmarble pillars, and also ace that belonged to King couches of gold and silver Ahasuerus” (v. 9 ESV). on a mosaic pavement of In these verses, we porphyry, marble, mother- read about a king who is of-pearl, and precious selﬁsh, powerful, matestones” (v. 6 ESV). rialistic, and controlling. Not only does King We read about a king who Ahasuerus throw a owns a magniﬁcent palparty for six months, he ace. We read about a king celebrates with golden who is incredibly tied to couches on precious the things of this world, stones. The author of unwilling to walk away Esther clearly desires us from its comforts. to recognize the king’s I’m reminded of the great wealth and glory parable Jesus shares of a among the people. But his rich man in Luke 12:16party isn’t complete with- 21. The man produces out an excessive amount a vast number of crops, of alcohol. but he becomes greedy. “Drinks were served He decides to tear down in golden vessels, veshis barns and build larger sels of different kinds, ones. And he tells his soul and the royal wine was to be merry and delight in lavished according to the possessions without any bounty of the king. And care for God. The passage drinking was according ends by saying, “‘So is the to this edict: ‘There is no one who lays up treasure compulsion.’ For the king for himself and is not rich had given orders to all the toward God’” (v. 21 ESV). staff of his palace to do as Jesus also says, “‘For each man desired” (v. 7-8 what will it proﬁt a man if ESV). he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what shall a man give in return for his soul?’” (Matt. 16:26 ESV). We may not throw extravagant parties in our royal palaces with golden couches. But how often do we struggle to realize that our worth is not in what we own? How often do we become so consumed and enamored by our own accomplishments and possessions that we fail to worship God as He rightly deserves? The late Puritan John Owen describes it as having “living affections to dying things.” It’s like the rich young ruler who walks away from Christ because possessions consume the affections of his heart (see Luke 18:1830). Only in Christ do we ﬁnd a treasure worth living and dying for. And this is something King Ahasuerus neglects to recognize while throwing a party for his own splendor and glory. But how often do our lives tell a similar story? So, yeah. That’s how Esther begins. It seems like King Ahasuerus is running his own show. Displaying his own glory. But God is working behind the scenes. And the queen mentioned in verse 9 is about to rise to the surface, revealing even more of God’s hand. After all, He is sovereign in the silence.

French, who spent 20 seasons at the school, including the past 14 as head coach, was informed of the decision on Monday morning in a meeting with Lanham and school president Ryan Smith. “Coach French is a good man and a friend and we wish him and his family nothing but the best during this transition,” Lanham said. “I’d like to thank him for his dedication and commitment while working with all of the young men that he has over these many years.” Lanham said that Corey Harris, an assistant coach for each of the past two seasons, will serve as interim head coach and will handle day-to-day operations of the program. French, a native of Huntington, W.Va., came to Rio Grande in 1999 after spending three seasons as an assistant coach at NCAA Division II Tusculum College in Greeneville, Tenn. As an assistant coach at Rio, he helped the men’s program to a pair of appearances in the NAIA Division II National Tournament, including a Final Four berth in 2001. French compiled a record of 173-254 during his stint as head coach, including a 12-18 mark overall and a 5-11 showing in River States Conference play this season. “Coach French has always had a true passion for his teams and the game of basketball,” said Lanham. “We are so proud to have had him as part of the Rio family for so many years.” Lanham added that a national search for a new head coach would begin immediately.

The Point Pleasant boys basketball team won its season ﬁnale by a 71-60 tally over Van on Wednesday at ‘The Dungeon’, giving the Big Blacks a ﬁve-game winning streak headed into the postseason. PPHS (11-11) — which also topped the Bulldogs (4-18) by a 71-51 tally on Feb. 20 in Boone County — was ahead 15-12 after one quarter on Wednesday, connecting on a trio of three-pointers in the opening stanza. The Big Blacks made seven more three-pointers in the second quarter, including four straight from senior Braxton Yates. Point Pleasant outscored VHS 25-23 in the second period and led 40-35 at halftime. Van closed the gap with a 15-to-11 third quarter, and went into the ﬁnale down 51-50. The Red and Black ﬁnished the game with a 20-to-10 run, hitting 7-of-9 fourth quarter free throws to cap off the 71-60 victory. For the game, PPHS made 8-of-15 (53.3 percent) foul shots, while hitting 13 trifectas and a dozen two-pointers. Meanwhile, Van sank 13-of-19 (68.4 percent) free throws, to See POINT | 7 Randy Payton is the Sports Information Director at the University of Rio Grande. Sonny Gray pain free in second season with Reds GOODYEAR, Ariz. (AP) — Sonny Gray had an All-Star season despite soreness in his throwing elbow. Surgery has left him pain-free heading into his second season with the Cincinnati Reds. The right-hander pitched with bone chips all season but managed to make 31 starts. He had the bone chips removed after the season. “It was hard to think that he wasn’t completely healthy last year, based on the kind of year he had,” manager David Bell said. “He’s deﬁnitely conﬁdent coming off of last season. It’s just a mindset knowing that he’s healthy and you had something taken out of his elbow. It has freed him up even more not only with mechanics but his mentality.” Cincinnati aquired him from the New York Yankees and Gray agreed to a contract that added $30.5 million from 2020-22 and includes a 2023 club option. He went 11-8 with a 2.87 ERA, making the NL All-Star team along with teammate Luis Castillo. Gray (205) and Castillo (226) became the ﬁrst Reds with at least 200 strikeouts in the same season. Gray and Houston’s Justin Verlander were the only pitchers in the majors to make at least 30 starts and allow no more than four runs in any of them. Despite the elbow problem, Gray went 2-1 with a 2.87 ERA in ﬁve July starts and 4-0 with a 0.74 ERA in six August outings. He didn’t allow a run See REDS | 7 OVP SPORTS SCHEDULE Friday, Feb. 28 Wrestling WVSSAC Championships at BSSA, 11:30 Division III sectionals at Alexander HS, 6 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 29 Wrestling Division II sectionals at Alexander HS, 10 a.m. Division III section- als at Alexander HS, 10 a.m. WVSSAC Championships at BSSA, 10:30 Boys Basketball Wahama at Ravenswood, 7 p.m. Hannan vs. Tolsia at Hurricane HS, 7 p.m. Monday, March 3 Boys Basketball Point Pleasant at Sissonville, 7 p.m. Photos by Bryan Walters | OVP Sports Eastern senior Garrett Barringer (30) dribbles the ball down the floor during the first half of Wednesday night’s Division IV boys basketball sectional final against Trimble at Wellston High School in Wellston, Ohio. Tomcats topple Eastern, 61-42 By Bryan Walters bwalters@aimmediamidwest.com WELLSTON, Ohio — Overmatched in the middle rounds. Third seeded Trimble used a pivotal 27-12 surge in the middle quarters and shot 51 percent from the ﬁeld on Wednesday night en route to a 61-42 victory over the Eastern boys basketball team in a Division IV sectional ﬁnal held at Wellston High School. The 14th seeded Eagles (11-13) took their only lead of the night 15 seconds into regulation, but the host Tomcats (20-3) trailed only 36 seconds before ultimately securing a permanent lead on a Tyler Weber trifecta with 5:54 remaining in the opening frame. The Green and White managed to pull back to within a point following a Colton Reynolds bucket 21 seconds later, but THS countered with an 11-2 run over the next three minutes while securing its ﬁrst double digit lead of 16-6 with 2:24 left. EHS, however, answered with ﬁve straight points to close out the ﬁrst frame and trailed 16-11 through eight minutes of work. A Ryan Dill trifecta at the 6:55 mark allowed the guests to close to within 18-14 with 6:55 Eastern senior Mason Dishong (24) tries to find enough space for a shot attempt during the first half of Wednesday night’s Division IV boys basketball sectional final against Trimble at Wellston High School in Wellston, Ohio. left in the half, but the Eagles were ultimately never closer the rest of the way. The Tomcats limited EHS to just a single basket the rest of the half while making a 10-2 charge that provided a comfortable 28-16 cushion at the break. Garrett Barringer capped a small 4-2 spurt with a basket at the 6:44 mark, allowing Eastern to again close to within 10 points at 30-20. The guests, however, were never closer from there as the Tomcats reeled off a dozen straight points over the next 5:32 while securing their largest lead of the night at 43-20 with 1:11 remaining in the third. Barringer ended Eastern’s nearly six-minute scoreless drought with a trifecta with 48 seconds left, whittling the deﬁcit down to 43-23 entering the ﬁnale. EHS managed to cut the deﬁcit down to 16 points on three different occasions down the stretch, the last of which came on at 54-38 following a pair of Mason Dishong free throws with 2:58 left in regulation. The Tomcats closed the ﬁnal 2:22 with a small 7-4 run that eventually completed the 19-point outcome. Trimble, with the sectional championship victory, advances to the district tournament at the Ohio University Convocation Center and will face 11th seeded South Webster at 8 p.m. Tuesday night. Eastern downfall in the middle quarters simply came down to a coldshooting performance, as the guests went just 2-of-10 from the ﬁeld in each of the two frames. The Red and Gray, on the other hand, netted 11-of-21 shot attempts during that same 16-minute span. The Tomcats also owned the boards from start to ﬁnish, starting with a 9-0 advantage in the ﬁrst period alone. THS also held a 17-5 lead on the glass at halftime, including a 6-3 edge on the offensive end. THS outrebounded the Eagles by a sizable 38-16 overall margin by night’s end, including an 11-6 edge on the offensive See TOMCATS | 7 �SPORTS Daily Sentinel Friday, February 28, 2020 7 Joel Embiid sprains shoulder, Sixers lose to Cavs 108-94 CLEVELAND (AP) — The Philadelphia 76ers suddenly have a lot more to worry about than their poor road record or playoff seeding. Their star players are getting hurt. Joel Embiid left Wednesday night’s 10894 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers with a sprained left shoulder in the ﬁrst quarter and didn’t return. The All-Star center scored three points in 8 minutes. The 76ers, already playing without All-Star guard Ben Simmons, never led against the team with the worst record in the Eastern Conference and fell to 9-21 on the road. Embiid had his left arm in a sling and was in visible discomfort following the game. He declined to talk to reporters and had an equipment manager carry his backpack out of the locker room, where the quiet atmosphere summed up the team’s mood. The Sixers are ﬁfth in the conference. Coach Brett Brown said he didn’t know how long Embiid, who scored a career-high 49 points Monday against Atlanta, will be sidelined. “I’m really unsure,” Brown said. “It’s not coach-speak, but this is part of the NBA landscape. That’s why you try to accumulate talent and depth.” Al Horford said his team had a difﬁcult time adjusting without Embiid, who averages 23.8 points and 12 rebounds. “Obviously, we play Tomcats From page 6 in any of his ﬁrst three starts in August, a span of 18 innings. It took him about six weeks to recover from surgery. “They told me I could start throwing in six weeks, but it was weird for a little while,” Gray said. “It got super swollen. I was doing physical therapy for awhile but I started throwing way early, three or four times a week. Six weeks after the season, I felt good.” His ﬁrst test came this week when he pitched two innings of a spring training game against Oakland. He allowed two hits and threw without problem. “I was trying to throw my fastball and just rip it the whole time,” Gray said. “I checked a lot of boxes. I got my mind right.” Castillo and Gray will anchor a rotation that includes Trevor Bauer, left-hander Wade Miley and Anthony DeSclafani. The pitchers also should get a boost from Cincinnati’s offseason makeover that added second baseman Mike Moustakas and outﬁelders Nick Castellanos and Shogo Akiyama. The Reds think they have enough starting pitching and offense to contend in the NL Central after six losing seasons. “We’re reinforcing each other with a little bit of pressure in a good way, a friendly competition way,” Gray said. Notes: 3B Eugenio Suárez and OF Nick Senzel are still limited as they recover from shoulder surgery. Suárez had surgery on Jan. 29 to repair torn cartilage in his throwing shoulder. He can’t swing a bat with both hands or throw, but he’s taking ground balls. Senzel had surgery for a torn labrum in September and is playing catch. SS Freddy Galvis has a sore shoulder and won’t play until next week. NAPLES, Italy (AP) — If any thoughts were creeping into their minds that the Tokyo Olympics might be canceled because of a viral outbreak, elite swimmers Katinka Hosszú, Chad le Clos and Sarah Sjöström certainly didn’t show it during a strenuous two-hour training session Wednesday. It was only after the three swimmers — who have won 11 Olympic medals between them — stepped out of the pool that they revealed serious concerns over the fate of the games during a series of interviews with The Associated Press. “For the athletes the best (solution) is just to focus on your preparation. … I see the news, but in my mind I’m prepared until it’s on. So I have to be ready,” said Hosszú, whose nickname is “The Iron Lady.” “I really can’t even imagine having the Olympics canceled. For athletes, it’s a nightmare,” Hosszú added. “That’s our life — preparing for the biggest event in swimming.” Tokyo Olympic organizers and the Japanese government responded Wednesday to comments made by former International Olympic Committee vice president Dick Pound, who said the 2020 Games could be canceled if the virus isn’t contained. “Our basic thoughts are that we will go ahead with the Olympic and Paralympic Games as scheduled,” Tokyo organizing BROADCAST 3 (WSAZ) 4 (WTAP) 6 (WSYX) 7 (WOUB) 8 (WCHS) 10 (WBNS) 11 (WVAH) 12 (WVPB) 13 (WOWK) go with 21 ﬁeld goals, including ﬁve triples. Yates led the Big Blacks with 28 points, featuring a game-best eight three-pointers. Hunter Bush was next with 16 points, followed by Aidan Sang and McKeehan Justus with seven each. Kyelar Morrow and Eric Chapman had four points apiece in the win, while Trey Peck scored three and Nick Smith added two. David Stewart led Van with 20 points, followed by Austin Javins with 15. Kalen Booth and Hunter McMicken both scored eight points for VHS, Shaun Booth added ﬁve, and Jacob Jarrell tallied four.

Philadelphia cut the lead to 85-80 in the fourth, but got no closer. Cavaliers forward Larry Nance Jr., who had 13 points and 15 rebounds, said Embiid’s absence made a difference. “You never want to see that,” Nance said. “He’s one of the best, most dominant players in this league. Anytime he’s not there, same with Ben, is important.” not just to Tokyo, I’m looking beyond that.” Sjöström was supposed to swim at a meet in Milan this weekend that was canceled because of the spread of the virus in northern Italy. “Of course, it’s definitely on my mind,” Sjöström said. “We are reminded about it every day. I read the news. It’s a bit scary. “People are traveling so much, even me, so that’s why the virus is spreading,” the Swedish swimmer added. “I hope we can calm it down very, very soon.” The swimmers were taking part in a training camp for the Energy Standard team coached by James Gibson. Hosszú, who is not part of the team, was invited as a guest. “Yes, there is a chance that the Olympics could be canceled,” Gibson said. “And if it is, you just deal with that. You have to trust the powers that be that they’ll never put people in risky situations.” More urgently for Gibson is deciding if he should keep his swimmers in Italy until Saturday as scheduled or go back earlier to the team’s base in Turkey. “We have an exit strategy. The swimmers themselves are aware what’s going on but that doesn’t change your training,” Gibson said. “You still go train as if you’re going to go and become an Olympic champion. You don’t let go of that. “Everyone in the world is in the same boat.” CABLE FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 28 6 PM 6:30 WSAZ News 3 (N) WTAP News (N) ABC 6 News at 6pm (N) Arthur NBC Nightly News (N) NBC Nightly News (N) ABC World News (N) Newswatch 7 PM 7:30 Jeopardy!

Five deaths in Japan have been attributed to the virus. The Olympics are scheduled to open on July 24. “Honestly there is no really good option if it’s canceled,” Hosszú said, adding “postponing is definitely better than altogether cancel.” With the virus spreading in northern Italy, Hosszú moved up her departure from Naples by two days to Thursday. Le Clos, who calls himself a “germophobe,” said he always travels with a face mask. “We have to just not shake too many hands, not touch too much stuff,” the South African said in an interview arranged through his sponsor, Arena. “It’s a terrible thing that’s happened.

Theresa Gavarone, of Bowling Green, would prohibit schools and school sports regulators from requiring advance waivers or otherwise restricting participants’ religious apparel unless it causes a “legitimate danger” for fellow competitors. The proposal was supported by Noor Abukaram, the Sylvania Northview runner who was disqualiﬁed over her hijab last fall. At the time, Ohio High School Athletic Association rules banned most head coverings and caps unless competitors got waivers in advance if they needed exemptions for religious reasons. Her coach has acknowledged making a mistake by not getting a waiver but indicated he hadn’t thought it was needed because it hadn’t been an issue at prior races. OHSAA has since changed its rules to let referees approve use of religious head coverings if a coach asks before a competition, without a formal waiver.

EURZVH�MREV��SRVW�\RXU�UHVXPH��JHW�DGYLFH jobmatchohio.com �SPORTS/WEATHER 10 Friday, February 28, 2020 Daily Sentinel Deep WR class jockeying at NFL scouting combine INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — If your favorite NFL team doesn’t have a Tyreek Hill, Julio Jones or Courtland Sutton streaking down the ﬁeld, making cornerbacks cringe and constantly redeﬁning the highlight catch, just wait. Chances are good they’ll grab one in this year’s draft. The NFL scouting combine in Indianapolis features a tantalizing wide receiver class unlike anything ever seen at the league’s annual gathering of top prospects. “You’ve probably heard every GM and coach talk about this wide receiver class; it is a good one,” Jets GM Joe Douglas said. “Just watching them go across the stage, there is a lot of talented players and we see how much the pass game affects the National Football League. So we do feel good about this group.” Actually, teams feel great about the 2020 receivers. Teams are more willing than ever to bypass the old waitand-watch standby for a plugand-play approach with bigger, faster, quicker pass-catchers coming out such as Calvin Ridley and D.J. Moore who made an immediate impact in 2018, followed by Deebo Samuel, DK Metcalf, Marquise Brown, ﬁve years, we’ve seen a lot of guys make immediate” impacts, said Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta. “Especially last year, if you look at the class, you’ll see a bunch of guys come in right away and make big plays. We were fortunate last year with Marquise and even Miles (Boykin) to a degree made plays for us. We’re excited about those two guys and we look at this year’s draft class as an opportunity for us to improve at the position even more.” Every team does. “I think it’s a combination of things,” Washington Redskins coach Ron Rivera said. “I think teams are starting to understand how you use players. But I also do think because the ball is being thrown so much in college football the receiver is learning to be an explosive guy. “I also think the body types of the receivers is changing,” Rivera said. “I think they’re getting bigger and stronger. There’s a lot more guys that are coming out that are ready to go and are dynamic players. The guys I think people are really looking for are these bigger receivers who are dynamic with the ball in their hands.” Terry McLaurin and A.J. Brown, who wasted no time establishing their credentials last season. “There is a lot more receivers coming into the draft because there’s just a lot more receivers in college football and high school football,” Rams GM Les Snead said. “A lot of teams running three, four, ﬁve wides.” It starts way before college. “I think in today’s day and age where these guys were starting 7-on-7, it’s almost like AAU basketball,” Packers GM Brian Gutekunst said. “The receivers are so much more advanced in terms of their fundamentals coming into college and the league than maybe they have been in the past. It’s really just the NFL offense that will take time. So I think there’s some guys sitting here today that I think will have a chance to make a pretty immediate impact, and I’m excited about that.” Receivers may still need to adjust to the NFL’s press coverage but just as often they’re the ones putting the DBs on their heels from the get-go. “Historically, receivers have struggled a little bit with the learning curve up to the NFL. But in the last three, four or Guys such as Colorado’s Laviska Shenault, Alabama’s Jerry Jeudy and Henry Ruggs III, Oklahoma’s CeeDee Lamb, LSU’s Justin Jefferson, Arizona State’s Brandon Aiyuk and Clemson’s Tee Higgins. Just to name a few. The wide receiver group is “as deep as I’ve seen,” NFL draft analyst Daniel Jeremiah said. “I’ve got 27 wide receivers with top-three round grades in this draft. And consider average 31 are taken. We had a max of 35 taken in (2015). So this is a really phenomenal group of wideouts.” There’s someone for everyone this year, whether they’re looking for a deep threat, a crisp route-runner, a fearless man going over the middle or even taking the direct snap like Shenault did so often at Colorado. “Receiver, of all positions, probably comes in the Baskin Robbins 31 favors,” Bills general manager Brandon Beane said. “Size, speed, length, run after catch, all sorts of variables.” This year, especially. “I think there could be a lot of guys drafted all the way through from 1 to 7 (rounds),” Beane said. “We were talking about it the other day. There’s going to be guys drafted on the third day of the draft who may come in and take a veteran’s spot on a team. It’s that deep.” Las Vegas Raiders GM Mike Mayock noted an average of 12 wide receivers have been selected in the ﬁrst three rounds over the past decade, and this year’s group features twice that number who are graded by teams as top-100 talents. “So, there’s depth throughout and there’s quality up top,” Mayock said. And there’s jockeying for cream-of-the-crop status when they showcase their skills during on-ﬁeld workouts at Lucas Oil Stadium in prime time on Thursday night. The best of the bunch is probably Jeudy or Lamb, but they all sport that one attribute that premier pass catchers also possess: a conﬁdence bordering on cockiness. Jeudy said he’s the best, but he’s hearing everyone else say they’re the best. “I feel like everybody should think they’re the best receiver coming out in the class,” Jeudy said. They all might end up being part of the best wide receiver class ever.

February, 2020 We would love to have you join us! Faith & Family On behalf of our church family I want to welcome you to visit us at Trinity Congregational Church. We would consider it a blessing to have you with us. We welcome you as God welcomes all of us, just as we are. Here at Trinity we believe in equipping people for the Kingdom work that God has laid out for each of us. I believe that it is our duty to go out into our community and make disciples (Matthew 28: 19), to love our neighbors as ourselves (Mark 12:31), and to take the church outside these four walls. 2/20/20 10:17 AM �Gallia County Church Directory - Continued Pine Grover Holiness Church Off of Ohio 325.
