started a career in
welding and sheet
medaling soon
growing into a master welder. During
this time Roger continued his growth
in his career and family
having another daughter,
Jeanette Rene (Shiﬂet)
Cockerham, April 21,
1983, in Circleville, Ohio.
Shortly after the birth
of his second daughter
Roger and his family
moved to Arlington, Tx.,
over the next eight years
his career continued to
grow in the south helping
build local Wal-Marts and
several retail chains.
Roger decided to move
back to his home state in
1991; he then became an
avid member of Alcoholics Anonymous through
central and southern
Ohio. In these years
Roger helped chair and
continue growth in this
organization. Roger also
had a love for Christ
and he always remained
strong in faith knowing
we all had a place all you
needed to do was stay
in scripture “the word”
and pray everyday. Roger
was a social butterﬂy and
had many friends stretching between central and
southern Ohio even moving south into Texas. The
warm weather is always
where he wanted to be
and he said this often. He
was an avid sports fan
supporting his favorite
football team of all time
the Houston Oilers clear
through their change of
hands taking on the new
state and name of the
Tennessee Titans. He
loved music and dancing;
many Saturdays were
times Roger and Mary
would get with local
friends and have house
karaoke parties.
As deeply as Roger will
be missed we have comfort in knowing he is in a
better place with no suffering alongside his late
wife Mary. Roger would
have wanted us all to keep
on living in this time with
strong values set by the
bible, and remember to
always help one another.
As it is stated in Psalms
9:10-11 “Everyone who
knows you, Lord, trusts in
you. You will never turn
away from anyone who
comes to you for help.
Give a song to the Lord to
praise him!”
Funeral services will be
held on Wednesday, Sept.
16, 2020, at 1 p.m. at the
the Anderson McDaniel
Funeral Home in Middleport with Pastor Randy
Smith ofﬁciating. Burial
will follow in the Riverview Cemetery. Visitation
for family and friends will
be held two hours prior to
the funeral service.

Marauders fall to
Nelsonville-York
Buckeyes, 42-16
By Dave Harris
For Ohio Valley Publishing

NELSONVILLE, Ohio — The Nelsonville York
Buckeyes combined a strong ﬁst half rushing
attack with some Meigs mistakes and key injuries
to post a 42-16 win over the Marauders in TriValley Conference football action Friday night in
Athens County.
The Buckeyes rolled up 309 yards rushing on
the night, with 248 of those coming in the ﬁrst
half while building a 35-8 halftime advantage.
The loss proved to be costly for the Marauders,
as Meigs lost their star junior quarterback Coulter
Cleland for an undetermined amount of time in
the third period with a injury to his clavicle.
The talented junior went into the contest
averaging over 325 passing yards a contest. The
maroon and gold went into the contest with one of
their top offensive threats and defensive players in
junior Morgan Roberts who was out for the game
with a shoulder injury.
The Buckeyes received the opening kickoff and
did all their damage on the ground in 13 plays,
driving 59 yards for the score. Colton Snyder
scored from a yard out, Alec Taylor added the
extra points for the early 7-0 lead.
Meigs fumbled on its ﬁrst play as Tucker Levering recovered up the loose ball for the Buckeyes.
On ﬁrst down Kobi Bennington scored from 37
yards out. Taylor added the extra points and the
Buckeyes went on top 14-0.
Meigs came back and pulled to within 14-8
when Wyatt Hoover pulled in an 18-yard pass from
Cleland. Abe Lundy added the extra points at the
4:10 mark of the ﬁrst period.
But back came the Buckeyes, driving 80 yards in
just 8 plays with Bennington going the ﬁnal seven
yards, Taylor made it a 21-8 contest with his kick.
The Buckeyes forced Meigs to a three and out,
and once again the maroon an gold made a mistake that helped the Buckeyes. A bad snap on a
punt was recovered by Levering in the end zone
for the score and increased the lead to 28-8 just
four seconds into the second period.
The Marauders drove to the Buckeye 35, but
Cleland’s pass to Wyatt Hoover was picked off by
Christopher McDonald in the end zone to end any
threat. The Buckeyes added another score with
just 12 seconds left in the half when quarterback

with Brayden Smith ﬁnding the end zone on a
19-yard run.

After forcing a threeand-out, the Eagles
went up 24-0, as Blake

seconds left in the half.
EHS was up 42-0 by the
end of the third quarter,
with Brandon Oldaker
scoring on a four-yard run
with 26 seconds left in
the period.
The guests were three

with four minutes left in
the game, but Bradley
Bailey forced a fumble

and Brandon Oldaker
recovered for the hosts.
However, South Gallia’s
defense got its second
fourth down stop of the
game, and Tristan Saber
ended the Eagles’ shut
out bid with an eight-yard
touchdown run with 1:07
to play. Kenny Siders
added the two-point conversion run for the ﬁnal
points’ of Eastern’s 42-8
win.
For the game, Eastern
had a 17-to-4 advantage
in ﬁrst downs, and a

CENTENARY, Ohio — A slow start, but it sure
didn’t take long to snap out of it.
The Gallia Academy volleyball team dropped
the opening game of Saturday’s non-conference

row for a 3-1 victory on its home court.
GAHS (7-1) was up 6-2 in the the ﬁrst set, but
Logan took the lead at 8-7. The Blue and White
tied it up at nine, but couldn’t regain the edge and

The Blue Angels scored 20 of the ﬁrst 24 points
in Game 2 and evened the match with a 25-7 victory.
After a pair of lead changes in the third game,
Gallia Academy established the lead for good at
8-7. The hosts won the Game 3 by a 25-16 tally
and took a 2-1 edge in the match.
After 32 points were played in Game 4, the
teams were tied at 16, the seventh and ﬁnal tie of
the set. The Blue Angels had a perfect side-out
percentage over the remainder of the game, sealing the 3-1 victory with a 25-21 win.
MaKenna Caldwell paced the victors with 18

WATERFORD, Ohio
— Sometimes you just
meet up with a team on
a roll.
The Southern football
team came out on the
wrong end of a 59-6 decision on Friday night in
Washington County, falling to Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division
host Waterford for the
Wildcats’ sixth straight
league win.
Waterford (2-1, 2-0
TVC Hocking) — which
has now found the end
zone 17 times in two
league games this season — was up 8-0 2:07
into play with Grant
McCutcheon punching
in on a two-yard run and
Holden Dailey catching
a two-point pass from

Jacob Huffman.
With 5:17 left in the
ﬁrst, the hosts were
up 14-0 with a 44-yard
touchdown pass from
McCutcheon to Jude
Huffman.
Southern (0-3, 0-2) was
set to punt it away on its
next possession, but the
snap was high, and Dailey brought the recovering Tornado down in the
end zone for a safety.
WHS scored two
more touchdowns in the
opening quarter, with a
15-yard run by Joe Pantelidis, and a blocked punt
return for a touchdown
by Braden Miller.
The Tornadoes got six
points back on their next
drive, with Josh Stansberry breaking a 59-yard
touchdown run to make
the margin 31-6 at the
end of the ﬁrst quarter.

Waterford scored twice
in the second quarter,
an eight-yard pass from
McCutcheon to Luke
Teters and a 48-yard run
by Miller, and the Wildcats led 45-6 at halftime.
WHS scored twice
after the break, with a
nine-yard touchdown
pass from Gabe Ponchak
to Lane Cline in the third
quarter and a 25-yard
fumble return by Dylan
Taylor in the fourth.
In the 59-6 win, Waterford claimed a 282-to127 advantage in total
offense, including 177-to105 on the ground.
Stansberry led the SHS
offense with 68 total
yards and one score on
seven carries and one
reception. Jonah Diddle
ran nine times for 19
yards, while Josiah Smith
— who ran nine times

for a net gain of three
yards — was 3-of-6 passing for 22 yards.
Derek Grifﬁth picked
up one yard on six carries for the Tornadoes,
while Cade Anderson
and Chase Bailey caught
a pass apiece for eight
and ﬁve yards respectively.
Leading Waterford,
Miller had 60 yards on
two carries and Dailey
added 40 yards on four
totes. McCutcheon was
4-of-6 passing for 75
yards.
The Tornadoes will be
home for the ﬁrst time
in Week 4, with Trimble

Marauders
From page 5

Drew Carter kept it from two yards out, giving the
hosts a 35-8 lead at the half.
The Marauders came out in the second half and
scored just 59 seconds into the third period when
Cleland hit freshman Dillon Howard from 41 yards
out. Cleland kept it for the extra points and Meigs
had cut the lead to 35-18.
Another Marauder mistake cost them a golden
opportunity in the third period when a holding
penalty nulliﬁed a 40-yard pass from Cleland to
Zach Searles that would have given Meigs the ball
at the Buckeye three. Two plays later on third and
long Cleland was hurt on a 16-yard scramble.
The Buckeyes ended the scoring when Snyder
scored from a yard out with 11:04 left in the period. Taylor made it a perfect six for six on the extra
points for the ﬁnal of 42-16.
Cleland was 15 of 28 passing for 153 yards,
while freshman brother Grifﬁn Cleland caught six
passes for 31 yards.
Freshman Braydon Stanley added two for 27,
Hoover two for 25, Searles two for 24, McElroy
two for ﬁve yards and Howard one for 41.
Cleland led the Marauders with 43 yards on the
ground in 6 tries. McElroy added two for 22 and
Hoover three for 19.
Bennington led the Buckeyes with 19 carries for
134 yards, Huston Stalder added 11 carries for 83
yards. Carter was six of 10 in the air for 84 yards,
Ethan Gail had four catches for 64 and McDonald
added two for 20.
