LOUIS (AP) — With millions of people suddenly out of work and rent due at the first of the month, some tenants are vowing to go on a rent strike until the coronavirus pandemic subsides. New York, Boston, Los Angeles, San Francisco and St. Louis are among many cities that have temporarily banned evictions, but advocates for the strike are demanding that rent payments be waived, not delayed, for those in need during the crisis. The rent strike idea has taken root in parts of North America and as far away as London. White sheets are being hung in apartment win- dows to show solidarity with the movement that is gaining steam on Twitter, Instagram and other social media sites. Fliers urging people to participate are being posted in several cities, including bus stops in St. Louis, where 27-year-old Kyle Kofron still has his job at an ice cream factory, but his three roommates have suddenly found themselves unemployed. Their property manager so far hasn’t agreed to a payment plan, Kofron said. “For me personally, with everyone losing their jobs and unable to pay, it’s really the only thing we can do,” Kofron said of the strike. “It’s just like we the people have to do something. We just can’t stand idly by while the system takes us for a ride.” AIM Media Midwest Operating, LLC (USPS 436-840) Telephone: 740-992-2155 Publishes every Sunday and Tuesday through Friday.

THOUGHT FOR TODAY “An optimist may see a light where there is none, but why must the pessimist always run to blow it out?” — Rene Descartes French philosopher (born this date in 1596, died 1650) Tuesday, March 31, 2020 3A Ohio prison worker tests positive COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — An Ohio prison employee tested positive for the coronavirus, the state reported Sunday night, marking the first such occurrence in Ohio at a time of growing national fears about the impact of the virus in crowded jails and prisons. The employee at Marion Correctional Institution in north-central Ohio last worked March 24, began showing symptoms March 25 and reported the positive test Sunday, the Department of Rehabilitation and Correction said. The person is at home recovering. The employee is part of the prison’s “custody staff,” spokeswoman JoEllen Smith said Monday, a category that can include guards and supervisors such as lieutenants and captains. The prison is prohibiting inmate and employee transfers out of the facility and is restricting movement inside, the agency said. In response, five prison employees without symptoms were ordered to selfquarantine at home, as were four employees with symptoms, Gov. Mike DeWine said Monday. All employees have been screened since March 11 before entering Ohio prisons, including having their temperature taken, DeWine said. “Whenever you have a significant number of people who are together, whatever the circumstances, that is a concern,” the governor said. Systemwide, the prisons department is now allowing alcohol-based hand sanitizer and limiting prison access to employees and necessary contractors who undergo health screens, said agency Director Annette Chambers-Smith “We have worked for several weeks implementing changes within our operations to address the challenges presented by COVID-19,” ChambersSmith said. Prison guards and state youth detention facility officers can now bring in their own face masks, whether home-made or medical quality, under an agreement with the state, Christopher Mabe, president of the Ohio Civil Service Employees Association, said Monday. “Any barrier is better than nothing,” he said. The union is also looking to buy its own supplies of masks, and has asked the state to provide hazardous pay for staff because of the risk of contagion, Mabe said. News of the employee’s positive test came as the Ohio Supreme Court considered a lawsuit filed by an inmate seeking release from Belmont Correctional Facility over fears of the virus. The prisoner, Derek Lichtenwalter, is serving a two-year sentence out of Guernsey County on a “failure to comply” charge. There is no way to carry out proper social distancing, the inmate said in a March 19 complaint filed with the court. The prison’s “bed areas are so crowded that I am within three feet of at least twelve people and those twelve are in the same position this means that there are 126 people in my ‘dorm’ that are within 3-4 feet of each other,” the complaint says. “The Common areas are overcrowded and what this means is once it gets to the prison it will be spread quickly through the population.” Lichtenwalter said he’s willing to return to prison to finish his sentence once the danger has passed. The state asked the court Monday to dismiss the lawsuit, saying Lichtenwalter doesn’t have “a clear legal right to be released from prison due to the COVID-19 pandemic,” a move that would require a court order, according to the state. “There are no laws or legislative decisions ordering the release of incarcerated individuals in the wake of a pandemic,” Jared Lee and Michael Walton, assistant attorneys general, said in the state’s filing. Also Monday, DeWine said Ohio inmates are producing personal protective equipment, with 500 hospital gowns made to date and plans to soon manufacture 5,000 surgical masks a day along with hundreds of gallons of hand sanitizer. How dire projections dashed Trump’s Easter plan By Jonathan Lemire, Jill Colvin and Zeke Miller Associated Press WASHINGTON — The two doctors spread out their charts on the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office. The projections were grim: Even if the U.S. were to continue to do what it was doing, keeping the economy closed and most Americans in their homes, the coronavirus could leave 100,000 to 200,000 people dead and millions infected. And the totals would be far worse if the nation reopened. Those stark predictions grew even more tangible and harrowing when paired with televised images of body bags lined up at a New York City hospital not far from where Trump grew up in Queens. The confluence of dire warnings and tragic images served to move the president off his hopes for an Easter rebirth for the nation’s economy. But while Trump sided with the White House doctors over its economists, at least for now, the decision shed light on a West Wing beset with divisions and a commander-in-chief torn between an instinct to embrace the image of a wartime president fighting an invisible enemy and one protecting the nation’s bottom line as he barrels into a bruising reelection fight. The abrupt change in Trump’s tone was startling: Easter was no longer going to be the sunrise after darkest night. It coud, be in fact, by the blackest moment before dawn. “We’re thinking that around Easter that’s going to be your spike. That’s going to be the highest point we think, and then it’s going to start coming down from there,” Trump said Monday on Fox & Friends. “The worst that can happen is you do it too early and all of a sudden it comes back. That makes it more difficult.” The bleak forecasts were carried into the Oval Office by Dr. Anthony Fauci and Dr. Deborah Birx, who displayed to Trump projections that, on the low end, could Patrick Semansky | AP President Donald Trump answers a question from PBS reporter Yamiche Alcindor during a coronavirus task force briefing Sunday in the Rose Garden of the White House in Washington. yield 100,000 American deaths from COVID-19. One model showed that deaths could have soared past 2 million had there been no mitigation measures. “We showed him the data. He looked at the data. He got it right away. it was a pretty clear picture,” Fauci told CNN on Monday. “Dr. Debbie Birx and I went into the Oval Office and leaned over the desk and said, ‘Here are the data, take a look.’ He just shook his head and said ‘I guess we got to do it.” But as is often the case with Trump, it also took the power of images to prompt him to act. Over the weekend, the death count in New York City skyrocketed, the silence of the city’s empty streets shattered only by ambulance sirens. Makeshift medical tents were hastily erected in Central Park. And hospitals, including Elmhurst Medical Center in Queens, not far from Trump’s childhood home, were so overwhelmed that patients were lying in hallways and corpses stowed in refrigerated trucks. “This is essentially in my community, in Queens, Queens, New York,” Trump said. “I’ve seen things that I’ve never seen before.” Aides likened Trump’s emotional response to his reaction to the 2017 pictures of dead Syrian children that prompted him to give the order for the first air strike of his presidency. And the moment also revealed the sharp divides among those advising Trump, both inside and outside of the West Wing. For weeks, those in the White House who warned that the doctors’ strict recommendations would cripple the economy — and Trump’s reelection chances — had the president’s ear and pushed him toward the idea of restarting business in the states where infections were low. Trump’s decision to extend national guidelines to clamp down on activity left them disapppointed. Stephen Moore, a former Trump adviser who had been pushing the administration publicly and privately to roll back restrictions in places with low infection rates, said the economic impact would grow worse every day that the shutdown continues, with more bankruptcies and more jobs lost. He had urged Trump to begin to re-open in places like Idaho, Iowa and Nebraska, far from the infection hot spots. But Trump was swayed by arguments that the fiscal pain would be worse if the economy was reopened and then forced to be shut again. As in the early, chaotic days of his administration, Trump’s White House has become increasingly siloed in recent weeks, with different working groups functioning separately and sometimes in com- petition. Members of Trump’s coronavirus task force, led by Vice President Mike Pence and including Fauci and Birx, did not know that Trump would be floating the idea of a quarantine of the New York area over the weekend — and then quickly moved to walk him back, according to three administration officials not authorized to publicly discuss private conversations. The president is getting conflicting advice from outside the White House as well. While some Republican governors, like Henry McMaster of South Carolina, have urged the president to reopen the economy, Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida considered banning travelers from hot spots like New York from entering his state, which experts believe is poised to see a surge in coronavirus cases. After speaking with DeSantis, Trump mused to reporters Saturday about a quarantine of New York, as well as parts of New Jersey and Connecticut, blindsiding the local governors and raising questions about federal authority. Even if the measure was unenforceable, Trump thought it could be a signal to supporters elsewhere that he was walling off a virus hot zone comprised of three Democratic states. But Fauci and other advisers persuaded him that it would accomplish little except ignite worry. �NEWS 4A Tuesday, March 31, 2020 History From page 1A been given a month to spread.

Mason was a Justice of the Peace and foreman of the State Gazette, and he frequently went home to Mason on the weekend. As he told Anna Lederer, when he arrived home, he was met at the depot by John Myers and Virgil Lewis, who quickly brought him up to speed. The three rushed to Pomeroy to meet Dr. Hysell, who told them a very different story than he had told the Lerners. Peter had indeed contracted smallpox and visitors were to be barred from his room. That cat was, as they say, out of the bag. Peter knew everybody in town, and nearly a hundred people had visited him while he was sick. Their only option was to limit the damage. The three men collected Pomeroy’s undertakers, Rappold and Biggs, and rushed back to Mason to quickly bury young Roseberry. Apparently, this angered Mother Roseberry, and she threatened to sue Mr. Mason. Her anger lessened somewhat after she had Peter disinterred and reburied at their homeplace in Flatrock, after which seven other members of the family came down with the disease. Virgil Lewis quickly sent letters off to the State Board of Health and leaders of the surrounding towns. Dr. Baker of the Board of Health quickly placed the Bend Area under quarantine, with Mason and Pomeroy under the strictest orders. Guards were placed on the roads in and out of town, nobody was allowed in or out of Mason or Pomeroy, and those leaving the other Bend towns required a certificate from their doctor verifying that they were not infected. On June 3rd, Point Pleasant placed itself under a protective quarantine, much as we are today. There were no cases in the town, and they wanted to keep it that way, placing guards on the roads to ensure nobody from the Bend or Flatrock came into town. It was apparently effective, and no cases developed in Point according to Editor Tippett. Gallipolis issued similar orders, though a case did develop there. On June 4th, the O.R.R. ordered that no trains would stop between Letart and Lakin. This effectively isolated the Bend Area. No travel was possible by road or rail, and steamboats stopped only to deliver necessary supplies. However, travel restrictions were not the only measures taken. In Mason and Pomeroy, the epicenters of the outbreak, normal life came to a halt. Churches were closed, social interactions were limited as much as possible, and certainly, handshakes were considered an insult. Postal service was suspended. The bedding, clothing, and in some cases entire home of infected persons were burned. Especially heart-breaking were the orders regarding funerals. John Mason wrote, “I attended several such burials, carrying a lantern ahead, while two or three men pushed a handcart containing a coffin. No one else was allowed to attend the burial, which in some instances were very crude, as well as sad.” There were in fact seven deaths on our side of the river, all in Mason. This was out of 46 cases in Mason, 7 in Flatrock, and 1 in Hartford. I don’t have the numbers for Meigs or Gallia, though Pomeroy was said to have been hit harder than Mason. Despite a death rate of 13%, the smallpox outbreak of 1892 could have been much worse had appropriate measures not been taken. Our salt supplied Cincinnati, and had the disease reached there, the death toll would have been devastating. Now, as we face the current coronavirus pandemic, we can learn from the outbreaks of the past. Limit your travel and personal contact as much as possible, and we will recover in time. We always have.

Census From page 1A According to 2020Census.gov, the census provides a snapshot of the nation — who we are, where we live, and so much more. Census results determine the number of seats for each state in the House of Representatives, as well as the drawing of congressional and state legislative lines. “Over the next decade, lawmakers, business owners, and many others will use 2020 Census data to make critical decisions. The results will show where communities need new schools, new clinics, new roads, and more services for families, older adults, and children. The results will also inform how hundreds of billions of dollars in federal funding are allocated to more than 100 programs, including Medicaid, Head Start, block grants for community mental health services, and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, also known as SNAP,” states 2020census.gov.

Daily Sentinel China’s virus hot spot reopens WUHAN, China (AP) — The city at the center of China’s virus outbreak was reopening for business Monday after authorities lifted more of the controls that locked downs tens of millions of people for two months. “I want to revenge shop,” one excited customer declared as she traversed one of Wuhan’s major shopping streets, Customers were still scarce, though, as those who did venture out were greeted by shop employees who wore masks and carried signs that told them to “keep a safe distance.” Among them was this teacher, who was visiting her family when most access to the city of 11 million was suspended Jan. 23 to stem the coronavirus spread. “I’m so excited, I want to cry,” said the woman, who gave only her English name Kat as she eyed the wares in the Chuhe Hanjie pedestrian mall. “After two months trapped at home, I want to jump,” she added, jumping up and down excitedly. A teacher in the eastern city of Nanjing, Kat was among those trapped in Wuhan when the central Chinese manufacturing hub was shut down as the virus spread. While governments worldwide were tightening travel and other controls, the ruling Communist Party has rolled back curbs on Wuhan and other areas as it tries to revive the world’s secondlargest economy after declaring victory over the outbreak. The city in Hubei province is the last major population center still under travel controls. Residents were allowed to go to other parts of Hubei but could not leave the province. Restrictions on other Hubei residents were lifted March 23. The final curbs on Wuhan end April 8. Wuhan became the center of the most intensive anti-disease controls ever imposed after the virus emerged in December. Some researchers suggest it may have jumped to humans from a bat at one of the city’s wildlife markets. The ruling party suppressed information about the outbreak and reprimanded doctors in Wuhan who tried to warn the public. As late as Jan. 19, city leaders went ahead with a dinner for 40,000 households to celebrate the Lunar New Year. Local leaders held one more event, a Jan. 22 holiday gala at which musicians and actors were sniffling and coughing, before the government acknowledged the severity of the problem. The next morning, residents awoke to news that their sprawling city that straddles the Yangtze River was cut off from the outside world.

Lacy wins Mary Ostrowski Award By Ryan Pritt For Ohio Valley Publishing George Washington’s Kalissa Lacy revels in the process and finds enjoyment in the effort she puts into improving her game at the gym year-round. Preseason, her name wasn’t necessarily at the top of many player-of-the year lists, but her rapid ascension from a nice shooter as a freshman to one of the best all-around players in the state has been fueled by her unyielding work ethic and this season, that work paid big dividends. Lacy (24.6 points per game) led all of Class AAA in scoring by five points per contest, won her second-straight Mountain State Athletic Conference scoring title and showed great improvement across the board all against one of the state’s toughest schedules. For those efforts, she was named the Mary Ostrowski Award winner as the state’s player of the year as voted on by the West Virginia Sports Writers Association. “The feeling is absolutely incredible,” Lacy said. “I was pretty much speechless. I’ve worked for this for a long time. Since last year when I made first-team, All-State, it just made me hungrier. I wanted more.” Lacy edged one of the deepest and closest playerof-the-year races in recent memory with Nitro’s Baylee Goins, North Marion’s Taylor Buonamici, Fairmont Senior’s Marley Washenitz, University’s Ashten Boggs and St. Joseph’s Chris Dorst photo | Gazette-Mail George Washington girls basketball player Kalissa Lacy, left, drives past a Cabell Midland defender during an undated game at George Washington High School. Bailee Adkins all receiving significant support. The junior became just the seventh underclassmen to win the award since it began in 1977, joining Ostrowski, Julie Wheeler (Morgantown), Alexis Hornbuckle (Capital/ South Charleston), Mariah Byard (North Marion), Taryn McCutcheon (Parkersburg South) and Jordyn Dawson (Huntington). Lacy is the first player off of a team that did not make the state tournament to win the award since Linsly’s Ashley Battle in 2000. But Linsly isn’t under the West Virginia Secondary School Activities Commission umbrella and isn’t allowed to compete in state tournaments. The last player off of a state-tournamenteligible team to win the award despite falling short of the state tournament was Monique Tarantini of St. Francis in 1983. Finally, Lacy is also the first George Washington player to claim the honor. “Being ranked up there with those names, it’s just incredible,” Lacy said. “It’s such an honor. Those are amazing basketball players and some big steps to follow.” They’ve been Lacy’s steps to follow in terms of scoring in the MSAC for two seasons now. This year, the 5-foot-9 shooting guard improved her scoring average by six points per contest led the conference by 7.3 points per game over South Charleston’s Myra Cuffee. But it wasn’t only what Lacy did, but who she did it to. GW navigated one of the toughest schedules in the state, playing the top three seeds in the Class AAA tournament – Parkersburg, Woodrow Wilson and Greenbrier East – a combined seven times. There were also two games against No. 7 South Charleston, one each against No. 1 Wheeling Park, No. 6 Cabell Midland and No. 10 Huntington as well as Class AA No. 2 Winfield and Class A No. 4 Summers County. With out-of-state games against Paul Blazer, Ky. and Fort Frye, Ohio and there were virtually no breaks on the schedule the Patriots. The focal point of every opposing defensive game plan, Lacy came up with some of her biggest outputs against See AWARD | 2B ‘There’s no blueprint’ - Virus upends college recruiting By Dave Skretta The Associated Press After Michigan lost to Ohio State in the semifinals of the women’s Big Ten Tournament, coach Kim Barnes Arico and her staff immediately hit the road. They intended to take advantage of a full week off before the NCAA Tournament by making visiting as many potential recruits as possible. “That was our window. You get to go to someone’s home, that helps you build relationships. Helps build so many things,” Barnes Arico said. “We had all these things scheduled until we went to see high school championships.” Those championships were canceled, of course. So was the NCAA Tournament, and just about everything else across sports because of the coronavirus. That includes the crucial recruiting period for college coaches who were putting the finishing touches on the 2020 class and laying the all-important groundwork for next year. The NCAA has barred in-person recruiting until at least April 15. The Collegiate Commissioner’s Association, which administers the letters of intent used by Division I and II athletes, followed with a suspension on all letters through the same date. The result? No college coaches packed into suffocating high school gyms. No coaches milling around airport terminals, waiting for the next flight to some out-ofthe-way place. No chance to shake hands with mom and dad and make a pitch that ultimately hold the fate of your career in their hands. “March was watching high school games and going into homes. April and May had recruiting weekends. Home visits are all gone,” Barnes Arico said. “When the calendar comes back, June isn’t a home-visit TOKYO (AP) — The Tokyo Olympics will open next year in the same time slot scheduled for this year’s games. Tokyo organizers said Monday the opening ceremony will take place on July 23, 2021 — almost exactly one year after the games were due to start. “The schedule for the games is key to preparing for the games,” Tokyo organizing committee president Yoshiro Mori said. “This will only accelerate our progress.” Last week, the IOC and Japanese organizers postponed the Olympics until 2021 because of the coronavirus pandemic. This year’s games were scheduled to open on July 24 and close on Aug. 9. But the near exact oneyear delay will see the rescheduled closing ceremony on Aug. 8. There had been talk of switching the Olympics to spring, a move that would coincide with the blooming of Japan’s famous cherry blossoms. But it would also clash with European soccer and North American sports leagues. Mori said a spring Olympics was considered but holding the games later gives more space to complete the many qualifying events that have been postponed by the virus outbreak. “We wanted to have more room for the athletes to qualify,” Mori said. After holding out for weeks, local organizers See OLYMPICS | 4B Crystal ball: Projecting upcoming football schedule By Joe Reedy The Associated Press Besides the draft, the other big event on April’s NFL calendar is the release of the regular-season schedule. Teams have known their opponents since late December, but Howard Katz and his scheduling department continue to parse through over 50,000 scenarios pumped out by nearly 1,500 computers across the world. Now that most of the significant free agency moves have taken place, here are some AP projections (suggestions?) on how we see some of the significant scheduling questions being answered: month. What will happen?” It’s a similar story for college football, baseball and a myriad other sports. There is a pervasive sense of uncertainty that has coaches on edge as they try to navigate recruiting amid a pandemic. “I think recruiting is more of an inexact science right now than it ever has been,” Kansas coach Bill Self said. “Just knowing your own numbers and how to attack that — how can you commit to something now that you don’t know what will exist, and the rules behind that existence? I think there’s a lot of programs up in the air.” The Jayhawks are one of them. Like most programs, they are largely done with their 2020 recruiting class. But they’re also awaiting the decision of leading scorer Devon Dotson, who is expected to skip his final two seasons for the NBA, and that Kicking it off The easiest choice to oppose Kansas City during the Sept. 10 kickoff game would be New England because it would be the Patriots’ first game without Tom Brady since early in 2001.

(AP) — Bob Weir of the Grateful Dead sang the national anthem from a remote location. Troy Aikman, borrowing Matthew McConaughey’s trademark phrase “All right, all right, all right,” commanded drivers to start their, uh, simulators. NASCAR’s new normal resumed Sunday with another virtual event, the second in an iRacing series thrown together after the coronavirus pandemic stopped nearly all sports. NASCAR’s 36-race season was suspended four events into the year. Timmy Hill won the virtual race at Texas Motor Speedway, where a highlight came when Daniel Suarez was parked by iRacing officials for intentionally trying — but failing — to crash Ty Dillon. Hill is considered among the top competitors in iRacing, a subscription-based gaming platform. His virtual victory was his 674th in the game. Fox Sports again used its team of Mike Joy and Hall of Famer Jeff Gordon to call the race, which was aired both on Fox in some markets and nationwide on its cable channel. The first iRacing event last Sunday drew 903,000 viewers to Fox Sports One and was the most watched esports event in U.S. history, bettering the 770,000 viewers Mortal Combat drew to The CW in 2016. That led Fox to offer affiliates the option to air the Texas virtual race on broadcast. Those who tuned in watched a live video game of 35 NASCAR racers competing at an exact replica of Texas Motor Speedway, where the series was Schedule scheduled to be Sunday before the coronavirus shutdown. Fox was able to obtain feeds of drivers racing on simulators everywhere from their bedrooms, basements, garages and, in the case of last week’s winner, Denny Hamlin’s living room. Clint Bowyer was the in-race reporter again, but when the booth cut to him to ask about an early race incident, he gave a quick update and shooed Joy and Gordon away. “You guys are bothering me, sorry,” Bowyer said. Alex Bowman again entertained fans via social media with commentary. It included his tweet “I just virtually drove through somebody,” after a wreck. Bowman also missed his pit stall, was speeding on pit road, bemoaned his need for a snack and ultimately decided “I’m a disaster.” Chase Elliott, racing in striped socks, posted a video during a commercial break of his feet working the pedals. Michael McDowell talked fans through his pit decisions. With racing on hold and drivers desperate to give exposure to their teams and sponsors, Hill’s virtual victory gave the NASCAR journeyman a rare live opportunity to thank his sponsors, the staple speech of any successful racer. The Texas event was done with a fixed setup and drivers used varying levels of rigs. Hamlin’s, at more than $40,000, is one of the most advanced in the field, with motion sensors and premium technology.

Lacy was suspended from school in late January, missing games against South Charleston and Summers County for a misuse of social media. It was a tough pill to swallow for a studentcouncil member and foursport athlete with a GPA over 4.0. “I took it as a learning experience,” Lacy said. “I had to put it behind me. Like in basketball, you can’t worry about the last play, you can only worry about what’s coming. I was in the gym every day with my dad [during the suspension] trying to get better and work through it. It just showed me you have to watch what you put out there.” On the court, Lacy’s output set another high bar for her own progress.

IndyCar made its iRacing debut Saturday in a race entered by 25 drivers and won by Sage Karam. NASCAR seven-time champion Jimmie Johnson was a special guest in the race as he works toward an obvious IndyCar debut. He’d been scheduled to test a car in Alabama next month before the coronavirus shutdown. Dallas was flexed. They haven’t had Sunday and Monday night games in the same season since 2008. But this could be the first time in 17 years Tampa Bay gets four prime-time games. The Bucs’ schedule is a dream slate of quarterback matchups with the Saints (Brees), Packers (Aaron Rodgers) and Chiefs (Patrick Mahomes), as well as games against the Vikings, Rams and Raiders. Stock up Buffalo: The Bills have not hosted a Sunday win it as a senior and she transferred to finish her prep career in Michigan. Next year will certainly be a tough act to follow for Lacy and with it, will come plenty of pressure and an even target to wear over her maroon and silver jersey. But Lacy knows just one way to attack anything – head on and with unrelenting effort. “There’s definitely some pressure, but I have the confidence in myself and my teammates,” Lacy said. “Coach LaMaster is one of the best coaches in the state and I know he night game since 2007, but that is likely to change this year. Besides the Patriots, the Bills also have intriguing home matchups against the Rams, Steelers, Chiefs and Seahawks.

I’m going to be going against teams that see me as a big target, but I have to brush it off and forget I won this award, because I’m coming for it again.” “The best part is I’m blessed to get to work with her another year,” LaMaster added. “Kids like that don’t come around very often. If she continues to improve and show growth, I’m not sure what the ceiling even is.” Ryan Pritt is a sports writer for the Charleston Gazette-Mail and issued this story on behalf of the WVSWA.

Throw in the rapidly expanding transfer portal, where dozens of experienced college players are searching for new homes, and the recruiting landscape is more challenging and confusing than ever. “It puts a premium on being really organized,” Connecticut coach Danny Hurley said. “We’re just going to have to be a little creative in the way that we’re able to present information to potential recruits, without the ability to get them on campus and without the ability to meet them for the foreseeable future. There’s no blueprint for this one.” For coaches who prefer After all, there is only so much video that a coach can watch. So many text messages they can send.

I want to talk to a young man. I want to have a conversation. I don’t want to be posting, tweeting, Instagramming.” Eventually, the coronavirus lock-downs will be lifted, travel will resume and life will return to some semblance of normal. High school athletes and college transfers will be allowed to visit campuses, coaches will be back to having dinner in their homes and the seemingly year-round recruiting grind will begin anew.
