Vinton County Health Department: Vinton County Breast Education and Awareness Program (BEAP), provides early detection services, including education, screenings and diagnostics to help improve the mortality rates in the Appalachian areas, including Athens, Fairﬁeld, Hocking, Jackson, Meigs, Ross and Vinton Counties.

Patient navigation will be provided to each woman throughout the continuum of care. “Breast cancer mortality rates are higher in Ohio than almost anywhere else in the country,” said Julie McMahon, director of mission at Komen Columbus. “The investment in these programs will help women from early screening through continuing care. In particular, these programs will help women in underserved communities where already tight resources are in danger of further state and federal budget cuts.” This year’s programs create pathways of outreach, care and support for patients in an innovative new model, with three focuses: �IYh[[d_d]�DWl_]Wtion Programs educate women about risk and how to access care through their insurance. These programs also address any barriers, including cost for the uninsured, or other barriers like transportation. �9edj_dkkc�e\�9Wh[� Navigation Programs help families navigate the healthcare system to get screenings. Should an abnormal screening occur, these programs offer needed support to make critical decisions and get the highest quality care. This care includes overcoming barriers ranging from high out-of-pocket costs to transportation to psychosocial support. �CeX_b[�CWcce]hWphy increases availability of mobile mammography in rural-Appalachian communities to increase access to screening and early detection. 6 PM PM 7:30 NBC Nightly News NBC Nightly News ABC World News Newswatch 6:30 Dean Wright can be reached at 740-446-2342, ext. 2103.

Unfortunately it is a misinformed and ultimately harmful depiction of what this crime is about and how it happens in the United States. In her post, Toyos relays the story of her family’s recent outing to Ikea, which was interrupted when two men followed her, her mother and her children through the store, despite their efforts to elude their pursuers. This was a terrifying incident and it reminds all of us of the need to be cognizant of our surroundings. The problem is that Toyos framed herself and her family as “targets of human trafﬁckers.” There are zero indicators of human trafﬁcking in Toyos’ story. Zero. I wish I could say the post nonetheless will help make us all “better safe and vigilant” than sorry. In fact, I ﬁnd that it so misrepresents the dangers, warning signs and risks associated with sex trafﬁcking that its readers and likers may now try to protect kids by watching for the wrong things in the wrong places. They may miss real sex trafﬁcking as it happens; they may miss the opportunity to extend a lifeline to a child who needs their help. What people don’t understand about sex trafﬁcking can prove lethal to kids. I’m a professional in the anti-trafﬁcking ﬁeld, and I have encountered thousands of child sex-trafﬁcking cases in the United States. I have never seen, read or heard about a real sextrafﬁcking situation in which a child was abducted by trafﬁckers in broad daylight at a busy store under a mother’s watchful eye. It’s just not the way it works. Trafﬁckers tend to coerce their victims because hauling them off is too risky. Their tactics generally aren’t the kind that leave physical bruises. Victims are recruited, manipulated, made dependent. The psychological and emotional ties they establish are highly effective. Trafﬁcked children are unlikely to attempt escape. They often won’t snitch on their trafﬁckers even if law enforcement approaches them. Among common patterns of sex-trafﬁcking “What people don’t understand about sex trafficking can prove lethal to kids.” recruitment and control: Parents or foster care parents selling their children. Or runaway, homeless youth, many of whom identify as LGBTQ, picked up at bus stops by trafﬁckers who exploit their hunger and need for shelter. Or a young girl who falls in love with a man who says he loves her too, then pimps her out. And while child sex trafﬁcking can happen to anyone, children of color, children with a past history of sex abuse, children who come from broken or unstable homes, children who face poverty, and children with disabilities are especially vulnerable. The most pernicious part of the viral Facebook post was its comments section. As sextrafﬁcking survivors and anti-trafﬁcking advocates — myself included — tried to correct the misconceptions in it, and tried to alert the public to the harms caused by misunderstandings and sensationalism, we’ve been met with anger and outrage. Sound bite quotes and statistics were thrown back at me in an attempt to highlight my “ignorance” on the subject. “Human trafﬁcking happens everywhere,” I was reminded. “It’s in our own backyards.” These are the exact phrases my colleagues and the antitrafﬁcking movement publicized years ago to raise awareness. We never imagined they’d be used to challenge our own expertise and in defense of efforts that threaten victims. Worse, as the stalking story was being praised by commenters, narratives that were heartbreaking and accurate, offered by survivors, were hijacked and undermined. Attempts to inform were interpreted as attacks on protective parents. Online, the truth was being ridiculed, invalidated, silenced, shut down. All of this from people who claimed to care about child sex trafﬁcking. The public imagination too easily aligns with the kind of abduction fears portrayed in the Facebook post and in the comments that followed. Before you post such a tale, or like it or add a comment, do your homework. Think critically about what effect such narratives and responses may have on See FACEBOOK | 5 THEIR VIEW A drastic solution to a serious problem By John M. Crisp Contributing columnist Two contiguous stories in my local newspaper last week describe the same growing national problem, one in analytical statistical terms, the other as horrifying human tragedy. In one story, the Associated Press reports that, according to the National Safety Council, trafﬁc fatalities increased by six percent in 2016, climbing past 40,200. In other words, more than 110 people die in trafﬁc every day. But pedestrian deaths are increasing, as well, more quickly than other trafﬁc fatalities. They surpassed 6,000 last year, an 11 percent increase. The number of people killed while driving or walking is directly related to the number of miles driven and miles walked, both of which have increased as the economy has improved since 2008, as gas prices have dropped and as more people are walking for exercise. But according to Richard Retting, safety director for Sam Schwartz Transportation Consultants, miles walked and miles driven are up only a few percentage points, not enough to account for the surge in trafﬁc and pedestrian fatalities. Researchers admit that correlation is difﬁcult to conﬁrm, but they speculate that the biggest factor contributing to the increase in fatalities is more drivers and walkers distracted by cellphones and other electronic devices. An adjacent story supports this proposition: On March 30 several drivers noticed a pickup moving erratically along a two-lane road about 75 miles west of San Antonio, Texas. One driver reported that the pickup crossed the center line several times. He called the Real County sheriff’s ofﬁce saying, “He’s going to hit somebody head on. … Somebody needs to get this guy off the road.” But before the sheriff could respond, the pickup drifted out of its lane on a curve and slammed head on into a church minibus carrying a troop of senior citizens returning home from a nearby spiritual retreat. Thirteen were killed. The 20-year-old driver of the pickup survived. An early arrival at the scene quoted him: “I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I was texting.” This event occurred as the Texas legislature considers bills that would prohibit texting while driving. A number of municipalities in Texas already ban the practice, but attempts at a statewide prohibition have failed several times since 2009. In 2011, anti-texting “…the biggest factor contributing to the increase in fatalities is more drivers and walkers distracted by cellphones and other electronic devices.” legislation reached the desk of Gov. Rick Perry, but he vetoed the bill, calling it “a government effort to micromanage the behavior of adults.” Perry said that he prefers information and education campaigns to discourage texting while driving, imagining that with sufﬁcient knowledge drivers will be responsible enough to eliminate problems such as this one. Experience suggests otherwise. We’ve never managed to get people to stop speeding or drinking while driving. And electronic distractions — texting, videogames, tweeting — appear to be equally compelling, if not more so. Depending on individual drivers to curtail irresponsible behavior is a dangerous losing proposition. So the Texas legislature — along with other state legislatures that haven’t done so — should make texting while driving illegal. But the problem is that there’s a decent chance that such a law wouldn’t have prevented last week’s devastating collision. Indeed, I live in a Texas city that punishes texting while driving with a $500 ﬁne. Yet drivers in the next lane texting or talking on a hand-held device are a common sight. Of course, travel always involves risk. But our casual acceptance of the carnage on our highways is disturbing; we seem to have just gotten used to it. Still, a car crash with 13 fatalities, as well as the sharp uptick in fatalities caused by distracted driving, ought to provoke us to more drastic action. It’s difﬁcult to stop drivers from drinking and speeding. But the technology already exists to make texting in a moving vehicle impossible. Indeed, some parents are already using apps that block their teens from texting while driving. We should have the will to impose such strictures on ourselves. Former Gov. Perry would call this government overreach, but driving is hardly a right guaranteed by the Constitution. Legislation that makes texting and driving impossible could have saved at least 13 lives last week. John M.

During this event, 64 Ohio Hospitals were recognized for their efforts to discontinue the distribution of free formula giveaway bags that undermine breastfeeding support for mothers and babies. This action places the facilities one step closer to a Baby-Friendly environment. Holzer’s International Board Certiﬁed Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), Stephanie Carroll, was honored as an “Outstanding Innovation as a Cultural Change Agent” for her efforts in the founding and acting President of the Appalachian Breastfeeding Network, which boasts over 185 members in 11 states. An excerpt from her honoring included: Stephanie Carroll is the embodiment of “Do it big or stay in bed.” Her commitment to improving dismal breastfeeding rates does not stop at the county line or even the Ohio border. It encompasses rural America! Providing culturally appropriate chronic disease prevention strategies is a challenge often researched by “outsiders” who are perplexed by appalling rates of obesity and disease in our culture, they scratch their heads at what they call ignorance and “noncompliance.” Stephanie understands this challenge because she is truly an insider; she is one of “us.” She understands that to make a change in a culture, you have to be part of that culture. She didn’t go it alone; she reached out to others of “us,” all across Appalachia, inviting them to come together to discuss our challenges, offer support and share our stories. In May 2016 she birthed the idea of the Appalachian Breastfeeding Network, and in one short year she brought together multiple states in a coalition that will eventually shine a light on the dark aspects of our culture, the disparities rural women face from access to care barriers, health care abuse and neglect to intrapersonal violence, and very often loneliness. The network is focused on empowering women to make informed decisions about their own bodies, from contraception choices, how they will give birth, to how they will feed their child. It also includes how to demand health care providers who will help educate and support them. We will overcome the health care disparities in rural America, one beauti- Crime victim of an attack by a father and son in August 2016. Both men have pleaded guilty in the case and are serving prison sentences. At the end of the ceremony, Stanley presented Petrasko with a plaque, recognizing her for her work with crime victims in Meigs County over the past several years. “A hundred years from now, it will not matter the house you lived in, what kind of car you drove or what was in your bank account. But the world might be a better place because you were important in the life of a victim,” read the plaque. Each year during the ceremony, homicide victims killed in Meigs County, or those from Meigs County, are remembered. This year for the ﬁrst time, balloons were released in memory of each victim. Homicide victims remembered during the ceremony included Deborah Ellis, William Underwood, Todd Johnson, Winﬁeld Hardiman, Tommy Parker, Howard Lawrence, Bobbie Butcher, Christopher Roush, Rebecca Ackerman, Keitha Whitlatch, James W. Gardner, Stephanie Ramey, Stephanie English, Jeffrey Halley, Jeffrey Shannon Halley, Diana Brewer, Ericka Brown, Walter Chafﬁn, Kenneth Rizer Sr., Doris Jackson, Robert Harrison, Joshua Starcher, Brett Pierce, Dyle Bay, Dale Miller, Brandon Lupardus and Sidney Wise. As the names were called family members or others in the crowd released biodegradable dove balloons, some with messages attached, in memory of each homicide victim. In addition, luminary bags were available for those in attendance to write thoughts, prayers or messages to the crime victims or their families. The Meigs County Crime Victims’ Services provides a variety of services to victims of crime, including accompanying the victim and/or family members to court, information and referrals, direct services, crisis support, criminal justice support and court notiﬁcations. “Our mission is to provide information and assistance to victims of crime, to provide direct and support services to victims of crime, to facilitate public and private cooperation to aid crime victims. As an advocate we are to maintain conﬁdentiality and serve all people with respect and dignity,” reads the mission statement of the Meigs County Crime Victims’ Service ofﬁce. In 2016, Meigs County Crime Victim Services handled 254 crisis responses; sent 2,442 letters to victims of crime; made 1,872 phone contacts; made 222 referrals to other social services; made 188 follow-ups on parole board hearings or probation violations; attended 556 county court hearings and 976 common pleas court hearings.

The Meigs softball team had nine players cross home plate, eight players record hit, and six players with at least one RBI on Monday night in Athens County, as the Lady Marauders rolled to a 12-3 victory over Tri-Valley Conference Ohio Division host Alexander, which had won 26 straight league games headed into Monday. The Lady Marauders (3-1, 1-0 TVC Ohio) wasted no time grabbing the lead, pushing three runs home in the top of the ﬁrst inning. Alexander got one of the runs back in the bottom of the ﬁrst, but Meigs surged for four runs on three hits and a walk in the top of the third inning. The Maroon and Gold expanded their lead to 11-1, scoring once in the top of the fourth and three times in the top of the ﬁfth. Alexander avoided the mercy rule by scoring once in bottom of the ﬁfth frame, and the Lady Spartans trimmed the MHS lead to eight with another marker in the sixth. Meigs scored the game’s ﬁnal run in the top of the seventh inning, capping off the 12-3 victory. MHS senior Maddison Woodyard was the winning pitcher of record for MHS, allowing three unearned runs on four hits and four walks. Woodyard struck out four batters in a complete game effort. Hill was the losing pitcher of record for AHS, allowing seven runs, six earned, on six hits and three walks in three innings of work. Scurlock pitched the ﬁnal four frames for the hosts and allowed ﬁve runs, four earned, on eight hits and two walks. Both Alexander pitchers struck out one batter. MHS senior Devyn Oliver led the victors at the plate, going 3-for-4 with a double and three runs scored. Peyton Rowe was 3-for-5 with a double, a run scored and an RBI for Meigs, while Breanna See MARAUDERS | 9 OVP SPORTS SCHEDULE Wednesday, April 5 Baseball Vinton County at River Valley, 5 p.m. Athens at Meigs, 5 p.m. Point Pleasant at Charleston Catholic, 6 p.m. Softball Vinton County at River Valley, 5 p.m. Athens at Meigs, 5 p.m. Tennis Gallia Academy at Wheelersburg, 4:30 p.m. Track and Field Wahama, Point Pleasant at Ripley Viking Classic, 4:30 p.m. Southern at Logan, 4:30 p.m. Thursday, April 6 Baseball Eastern at Wahama, 5 p.m. Gallia Academy at Wellston, 5 p.m. Sciotoville East at South Gallia, 5 p.m. Southern at Vinton County, 5 p.m. Wood County Christian at Hannan, 5:30 p.m. Softball Eastern at Wahama, 5 p.m. Sciotoville East at South Gallia, 5 p.m. Cross Lanes Christian at Hannan (DH), 5 p.m. Independence at Point Pleasant, 5:30 p.m. Track and Field Gallia Academy hosts Saunders Relays Alex Hawley/OVP Sports PPHS senior Abe Stearns releases a pitch during the Big Blacks’ 3-0 victory over Winfield, on Monday in Point Pleasant.

Despite getting three hits withing the same frame, the Generals were unable to score, thanks in large part to the defensive effort of PPHS junior centerﬁelder Alec Smith. “Alec Smith covers a lot of ground,” Coach Blain said. “He took good routes to balls tonight, kept runners off of third base, kept some guys off of second base and out of scoring position, and that’s a difference maker. That way you limit their free bases, that made a big difference tonight and that was one of the reasons why we were unable to put a goose-egg up on the board.” At the plate, PPHS was led by Williams, who was 2-for-2 with a run batted in, and Mayes, who was 2-for-3 with a home run, two runs scored and one RBI. Wamsley doubled once and scored once in three at-bats, Stearns, Alec Smith and Hunter Blain each added a single, while Carter Smith chipped in with an RBI. “We’re going to have to manufacture runs to win some games,” said Coach Blain. “As of right now, we haven’t out-hit people and we haven’t hit it all over the park. In order for us to do some good things and win some games, we’re going to have to manufacture. We were able to do that tonight, we’re going to have to do a better job, it wasn’t where it needs to be, but a win is a win and it is a step in the right direction.” Ingram, Jay Frampton and Garrett Payne each singled once for the guests, who had three straight wins headed into Monday. Both teams left six runners on base in the contest, with Winﬁeld committing the game’s lone error. These teams are scheduled clash again on April 28, in Putnam County. Point Pleasant is scheduled for road contests for the rest of the week, starting with a trip to Buffalo on Tuesday and a visit to Charleston Catholic on Wednesday.

The Wahama softball team remained unbeaten in Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division play on Monday night during a 5-1 victory over host Federal Hocking. The Lady Falcons (6-4, 3-0 TVC Hocking) picked up their third consecutive victory in the wire-to-wire triumph as the guests scored the ﬁrst ﬁve runs of the game before the Lady Lancers (1-2, 1-2) managed to crack the scoreboard in the bottom of the seventh. Both teams struggled offensively as WHS outhit the hosts by a slim 4-3 overall margin, but the Red and White also beneﬁted from a FHHS error — the only mistake in the contest. The game was scoreless through two complete, but Wahama broke through with two runs in the top of the third as Autumn Baker started things with a single. Baker advanced to second on a wild pitch and later scored on a one-out single by Hannah Rose that made it 1-0. Rose later came around to score on a two-out single by Ashtyn Russell for a 2-0 edge midway through the third. WHS padded its lead in the fourth as Cynthia Hendrick received a one-out walk and eventually scored on a Emily VanMatre single to make it a 3-0 contest. Russell gave Wahama a 4-0 cushion in the ﬁfth as a groundout allowed Rose to cross home plate, then Hannah Billups completed the Lady Falcons’ scoring after coming home on an error that allowed Maddy VanMatre to reach safely in the seventh. Destiny Tabler singled to start the bottom of the seventh and later scored on a ground out by Glass, which wrapped up the 5-1 outcome. Hendrick was the winning pitcher of record after allowing one earned run, three hits and one walk over seven innings while striking out seven. Glass took the loss after surrendering ﬁve runs (four earned), four hits and six walks over seven frames while fanning six. Rose, Russell, Billups and Emily VanMatre led the guests with a hit apiece.

(AP) — For a whole year, the North Carolina Tar Heels wondered if they’d get another chance. For a whole year, the Tar Heels thought about what might have been. When Monday night’s slugfest with Gonzaga came to a merciful end, the Heels had all their answers: The national title was theirs, the nets were hanging around their necks, the redemption tour was a success. Their 71-65 win will not be mistaken for a work of art. But for anyone who bleeds Carolina Blue, it sure was a thing of beauty. “This is what we worked for,” junior guard Joel Berry II said. “And the ups and downs we’ve had? It’s all worth it.” The story starts with the downs. When Villanova’s Kris Jenkins hit his 3-pointer at the buzzer to beat Carolina in the 2016 ﬁnal, coach Roy Williams buckled over like a man who’d just been punched in the Help Wanted General fouled. He made the free throw, and that 3-point play gave the Tar Heels a 66-65 lead. Gonzaga didn’t score again, though in a game that left fans from both sides booing a spate of over-ofﬁcious ofﬁciating, the game couldn’t be settled without a controversial (non)call in the last minute. Leading by 1, and in a scrum under the Carolina basket, Tar Heels forward Kennedy Meeks went to the ﬂoor to try to wrestle the ball away from Silas Melson. Refs called a jump ball, and with the possession arrow favoring North Carolina, the Tar Heels converted on an Isaiah Hicks runner to push the lead to 3. Replays and pictures, retweeted and reposted thousands of times on social media, showed Meeks’ right hand touching out of bounds. But there was no protest, no review. “Probably on me,” said Gonzaga coach Mark Few, whose ﬁrst knowledge of the call came in the postgame press conference. “From my angle, it didn’t look like an out of bounds situation or I would have called a review. That’s tough to hear.” Through NCAA spokesman David Worlock, national coordinator of basketball ofﬁcials JD Collins said the play was not reviewable. Neither Few nor Williams threw much blame toward the ofﬁcials, but the refs made this game virtually unwatchable.

That’s because the Gallia Academy High School baseball team gave up two late runs to visiting South Point, and ultimately lost 2-1 on Monday in the Ohio Valley Conference opener. The Blue Devils did take a 1-0 lead in the third inning —combining two errors, a wild pitch, a passed ball, a sacriﬁce bunt and a John Stout single for their lone run. Dylan Smith, who led off by reaching on an error, scored the only Gallia Academy marker. But the Pointers, sending eight batters to the plate off Gallia Academy ace pitcher Josh Faro, pushed across two earned runs on four hits in the sixth stanza. The Blue Devils didn’t answer in the sixth or seventh, and bunted themselves into a double play following Cole Davis’ leadoff walk in the last. Quinton Yarger’s pinchhit single was the ﬁfth and ﬁnal Gallia Academy hit, but South Point pitcher Logan Wade struck out Smith to end the game. With the loss, the young Blue Devils dropped to an even 2-2 —but the defending OVC champions are already in a 0-1 hole in the league. Still, given the Blue Devils’ blueprint from last season, that experienced club captured the conference crown at 11-3. “We only had ﬁve hits and one run. One run doesn’t win you a lot of games,” said GAHS coach Rich Corvin. “We just have to bounce back, because one loss, as we found out last year, is not going to cost you a By Bryan Walters bwalters@civitasmedia.com Paul Boggs/OVP Sports Gallia Academy’s Cole Davis (1) chases down South Point’s Drew Smith in a rundown during Monday’s Ohio Valley Conference baseball game at Gallia Academy High School. league championship. We just have to move on from here. We’re a young ballclub still, so it’s one day at a time trying to get better.” South Point, meanwhile, is now 5-1 (1-0 OVC). In a classic pitchers’ duel between Faro and Wade, both tossed complete games, with the Pointers outhitting Gallia Academy 6-5 —while the Blue Devils stranded ﬁve baserunners and the Pointers six. Faro retired the side 1-2-3 in the second and ﬁfth frames, and faced the minimum three in the third and last. Wade was equally up to the task —retiring the Blue Devils 1-2-3 in the opening inning, before facing the minimum three in the fourth and ﬁfth. He saw four batters apiece in the ﬁnal two frames, as Wade struck out nine while Faro fanned six. Both aces allowed only two walks. South Point’s only other error was on a Smith at-bat in the ﬁfth, as the two Blue Devil defensive miscues were to leadoff men in the fourth and seventh. However, the Pointers plated their two runs in the sixth. Douglas Shaffer singled to lead off, then scored on a one-out double by Wade. Faro then walked Tanner Hill, as Jonathan Henline had a single to load the bases. Elijah Adams then singled in Wade to make it 2-1, but Corvin thought his charges should have escaped the inning. “They got two runs in the sixth with one out. We had a defensive letdown with the bases loaded. We threw the ball into the runner’s back going from third to home. It’s probably a doubleplay ball, maybe not. The next guy, we only get the play at the plate and not the play at ﬁrst. Two crucial plays right there,” he said. In the seventh, with Davis aboard, Faro popped up his bunt directly back to Wade —who promptly shortcircuited the short-game try by doubling off Davis at ﬁrst. “We didn’t see the ball down. We practice it and practice it, but in a game, we have to execute it,” said Corvin. The only other Blue Devil basehits were singles by Jeremy Brumﬁeld in the second and sixth, and a bunt single by Brody Thomas in the second. But Brumﬁeld was stranded at second and Thomas at ﬁrst — thanks to Wade striking out the ﬁnal three outs in the inning. Stout singled and eventually reached third in the third, but Wade induced Brumﬁeld into a popout to shortstop. Thomas then walked in the fourth and Smith reached on the error in the ﬁfth, but both were caught stealing. The Pointers’ only other baserunners were a Brody Blackwell one-out walk in the ﬁrst, followed by a Beau Taylor single in the third and a Henline single in the fourth. The Blue Devils returned home, and returned to OVC action, on Tuesday by facing Fairland.

The Wahama baseball team snapped a threegame losing skid while picking up its ﬁrst league win of the season Monday night following a 14-0 decision over host Federal Hocking in a Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division matchup in Athens County. The White Falcons (2-3, 1-2 TVC Hocking) — who have won at least a share of the previous three TVC Hocking championships — ﬁnally got in the win column in league play … and did so in a major way as the guests notched their ﬁrst mercyrule triumph to go along with their ﬁrst road victory of the year. WHS plated ﬁve runs on four hits and two walks in the ﬁrst, then notched another run in the second for a commanding 6-0 cushion through two complete. Both teams went scoreless in the third, but the Red and White answered by sending 11 batters to the plate in the top of the fourth — which resulted in six runs on four hits, two hit batters, a walk and an error for a sizable 12-0 advantage through four complete. The White Falcons tacked on two more runs in the ﬁfth thanks to a hit, a walk and a catcher’s interference that ultimately wrapped up the 14-run outcome. Wahama outhit the hosts by a sizable 9-1 overall margin and also played an error-free game, while the Lancers committed two errors in the setback. The guests stranded ﬁve runners on base, while FHHS left only two on the bags. Nyles Riggs was the winning pitcher of record after allowing one hit and fanning two in ﬁve innings of work. Chase Reed took the loss after surrendering six earned runs, four hits and four walks over three innings while fanning two. Dalton Kearns led Wahama with two hits, followed by Riggs, Colton Arrington, Bryton Grate, Cass Kimes, Cooper Peters, Tanner Smith and Antonio Serevicz with a safety apiece. Kearns paced the guests with three RBIs, while Kimes and Serevicz each knocked in two runs. Grate, Peters, Riggs and Smith each drove in a run apiece as well. Arrington scored three times to lead WHS, followed by Grate, Kearns, Riggs and Philip Hoffman with two runs apiece. Kimes, Peters and Anthony Ortiz also crossed home plate once each for the victors. Nate Dearth had the lone hit for Federal Hocking (0-4, 0-3).

By Paul Boggs pboggs@civitasmedia.com CENTENARY, Ohio — The Blue Devils’ singles players, on Monday against Athens, deﬁnitely brought out the proverbial brooms. That’s because the Gallia Academy High School tennis team swept its three singles matches, en route to edging the visiting Bulldogs 3-2 in its Southeastern Ohio Athletic League opener. The Blue Devils dominated the singles affairs, while Athens swept the two doubles tilts. As a result, Gallia Academy raised its overall record to 3-0 — as it opened its season a week ago by defeating Portsmouth Clay with the same approach. In that contest, Miguel Velasco, Pierce Wilcoxon and Miles Cornwell captured straight-set victories — at ﬁrst, second and third singles respectively. On Monday, they Wahama blitzes Lancers, 14-0 Paul Boggs/OVP Sports Gallia Academy’s Olivia Meadows returns an Athens serve during Monday’s Southeastern Ohio Athletic League tennis match at Gallia Academy High School. enjoyed an even better performance —as the Bulldogs managed just two total points for those three bouts. Velasco vanquished Eric Sonnemar 6-1, 6-1 at ﬁrst singles, while Wilcoxon —at second singles —and Cornwell —at third singles — pitched a pair of shutouts. Wilcoxon won over Freddie Hassett 6-0, 6-0, while Cornwell won by the same count over T.K. Kwon. Gallia Academy’s MiKayla Edelmann and Katie Carpenter lost their ﬁrst doubles match, 6-1, 6-1.

The award was the second straight weekly honor for the Somerset, Ohio native. Petty won ﬁrst place in the high jump with a leap of 1.65 meters. She also competed in the javelin taking fourth place with a distance of 25.04 meters.

Rio Grande has its next event April 7-8 at the Cumberlands Invitational. Randy Payton is the Sports Information Director at the University of Rio Grande. Phillies beat Reds in opener, 4-3 CINCINNATI (AP) — Jeremy Hellickson couldn’t believe it when he rounded second base and saw the coach waving him on. Hellickson drove in the decisive run in the sixth inning with his ﬁrst career triple — one that left him out of breath for a long time — and the Philadelphia Phillies held on for a 4-3 victory over the Cincinnati Reds on Monday. “I’m never doing that again,” said Hellickson (1-0), who was still feeling it when he came out of the game after facing one batter in the bottom of the sixth. “I’m stopping at second no matter what.” Cesar Hernandez opened the Phillies’ season with a homer, connecting on Scott Feldman’s eighth pitch. Freddy Galvis — who had a careerhigh 20 homers last season — added a solo shot in the second. It was a bad ﬂashback for the Reds, who gave up the most homers in the majors last season. Hellickson allowed a run and six hits, his outing cut short after his run around the bases. Right ﬁelder Scott Schebler failed to make a diving catch of his two-out liner, letting the ball get by him as Hellickson chugged across an inﬁeld turned muddy by several innings of rain. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
