Eblin is an aspiring teacher with an enthusi- asm for history. The lecture was held at Trinity Congregational Church in Pomeroy. To start the night, Eblin had a guest in the audience share a lecture her mother had written in 1918 about her ﬁrst year teaching in a Meigs County school. The ﬁrst step of the journey was in 1823 when the majority of education was given by mothers. Only wealthy residents of a county could afford an education outside of their home. However, in 1883 public school districts began their evolution. Eblin broke down Elbin the development of the districts that make up the Eastern, Southern, and Meigs local districts today. He informed his audience the date of which each school in the districts were built, the purpose of the structure, and the structure’s current state. Throughout his presentation he showed many photos which helped his audience get a fuller grasp of the past. A few schools in each of the three districts today have stories behind their walls and are still standing. In the Eastern Local School District, the Bethel Worship Community Center was ﬁrst a local school (Chester) along with its neighbor across the street the Chester Academy. The Southern Local School District has the Racine Village Hall which was originally a school in the village as was the Syracuse Community Center in that village. Meigs Local School District had a school that underwent trag- edy, the ﬂood of 1937, and still lives to tell its tales today; the Wolfe Mountain Entertainment Center was originally the Pomeroy High School. Eblin presented his material with assurance and at the beginning of his presentation a quote was given, “remembering the foundations to where our dreams began.” Erin Perkins is a freelance writer for The Daily Sentinel MCCOA conducting summer produce program in May Staff Report POMEROY — Beginning May 1 the diners at the Meigs Senior Center who are over the age of 60 will receive a coupon for $5 in produce when they eat 10 or more senior special meals during the month.

Historical association holds annual banquet By Michael Hart Special to the Sentinel ROCKSPRINGS — Chester Shade Historical Association (CSHA) held its annual banquet last Friday evening, which incoming President Dan Will described as “one of the main fundraising events for the year.” Chester Shade operates two signiﬁcant historically buildings in Chester: the oldest courthouse in the state and a school dating back to the 1830s. The banquet opened at 6:30 p.m. in the Meigs High School cafeteria, where the association served a home-cooked meal and two hosted fundraising auctions. Association members, Meigs businesses, and members of the community donated a large variety of items for auctioning – some homemade, like quilts and and maple syrup – some corporate, like gift bags and vouchers – and some novel, like a hand-carved telephone in the likeness of an eight point buck.

House budget pumps $170M into solving epidemic JOIN THE CONVERSATION What’s your take on today’s news? Go to mydailysentinel. com and visit us on facebook to share your thoughts. COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Money to create a smartphone app, establish a 24-hour hotline and fund other inventive ways to tackle Ohio’s opioid crisis is included in a package of budget revisions majority House Republicans unveiled Tuesday. Speaker Clifford Rosenberger, Finance Chairman Ryan Smith and others said their version of Ohio’s two-year operating budget adds more than $170 million to address the scourge driven by prescription painkillers and heroin. Smith said lawmakers prioritized the problem despite a projected $800 million revenue shortfall. He said their budget protects K-12 school funding as much as possible. It rejects the governor’s proposed tax increases and cuts $2.5 billion overall, mostly from Kasich’s proposed Medicaid budget. Here’s a deeper look at the opiate proposal and other House budget highlights: Prioritizing opioid crisis The House’s $170 million infusion includes additional money for existing programs, pilot projects involving nursing homes and drug courts, and new technological ideas, including developing an app to readily connect Ohioans to local resources. “What we’re trying to do is bring innovation and technology into this ﬁght,” Smith said. “We want to do things on social media, whether it be Facebook or Snapchat, because obviously different generations operate on different mediums,” he said. Smith said the goal is to share messages of recovery and information on help that’s available. The overall program includes money for community coalitions, traditional housing, a nursing home pilot project, drug labs and drug courts and for short-term job certiﬁcation programs for jobs in demand.

NEW YORK (AP) — Stock indexes ticked higher on Wednesday, and the Standard & Poor’s 500 index ﬂirted with its record high, as the White House unveiled a broad outline of its plan to cut tax rates. The market has sprinted higher since November, due in large part to expectations that lower taxes and looser regulations for businesses are on the way. White House ofﬁcials said Wednesday afternoon that they hope to cut the top corporate tax rate to 15 percent from 35 percent. The plan still has many speciﬁcs to be determined, such as how much it will affect the government’s budget deﬁcit, and they will need to be negotiated with Congress. KEEPING SCORE: The Standard & Poor’s 500 index rose 4 points, or 0.2 percent, to 2,393, as of 2:10 p.m. eastern time. Earlier in the day, it climbed a bit above its record closing level of 2,395.96, set early last month. When White House ofﬁcials began talking about taxes in the early afternoon, it caused only minor ripples in the index’s movement. The Dow Jones industrial average rose 40 points, or 0.2 percent, to 21,036, and the Nasdaq composite rose 5, or 0.1 percent, to 6,030. THE TAX PLAN: Along with expectations for lighter regulations on business, hopes for lower taxes have been among the main drivers for the 11 percent sprint higher for the S&P 500 since Election Day. White House ofﬁcials laid out a broad outline for changing the U.S. tax code, including incentives that they said would encourage multinational companies to repatriate cash parked overseas. The proposed 15 percent rate on corporate taxes may be only a starting point for negotiations, but a tax rate even in the 25 percent range would mean fatter after-tax proﬁts for companies, which could propel their stock prices even further. Many investors say proﬁts need to climb to justify the big gains that stock prices have made in recent years. EARNINGS: This is a frenetic week for companies reporting how much they earned during the ﬁrst three months of the year. More than a third of the businesses in the S&P 500 are slated to go this week. Reports have been largely better than expected, and analysts expect this to be the strongest quarter of growth in years.

For this, Obama is apparently going to be paid $400,000. The former president hasn’t conﬁrmed this himself, and even if it turns out to be true, he may still withdraw. But talking heads everywhere are already attacking his decision. The newest Fox News superstar, Tucker Carlson, insisted it was “indefensible.” Except it isn’t. Obama should be praised, for two reasons: ﬁrst, for refusing to buy the notion that there is something inherently corrupt about delivering a paid speech; and second, for recognizing that channels of communication between ﬁnance and centrist politics continue to be important, even in this age of angry populism. When Hillary Clinton was attacked, during the Democratic presidential primary and after, for delivering paid speeches to Wall Street banks — for just over half of what Obama is supposedly going to be paid — the criticism made a distinct argument. Anyone being paid such sums for a speech or a question-andanswer session must, by this way of thinking, be in Wall Street’s pocket. The strong implication: Speaking fees are bribery by another name. As Sen. Bernie Sanders put it sarcastically: “I kind of think if you’re going to be paid $225,000 for a speech, it must be a fantastic speech …. $225,000 is an extraordinary speech. A Shakespearean speech.” Sanders’s attacks on Clinton’s speeches were effective: this one was delivered in the run-up to the Michigan primary, which he startled everyone by winning — a defeat for Clinton that presaged her loss there to Donald Trump in November. This was an illogical argument when it was used against Clinton, and it is even more illogical when used against Obama. It rests on the laughable assumption that the average ﬁrm is only interested in paying to hear from famous people who do them favors, or who pander to them. (By that logic it’s difﬁcult to see why William Shatner, for example, would then get paid the big bucks. Or Mike Tyson.) In fact, when Clinton’s speeches to Wall Street were ﬁnally leaked, the most interesting fact about them is that she didn’t pander. She made the case to her audience that, “even if not 100 percent true,” the perception “that somehow the game is rigged” was a problem for everyone because “public trust is at the core of both a free-market economy and a democracy.” Which brings us to the second reason why Obama’s decision to speak at a Cantor Fitzgerald conference — if he sticks with it — is praiseworthy: Because the conversation between centrist politics and global ﬁnance shouldn’t be allowed to break down. In the years after the ﬁnancial crisis, it was important for politicians to speak directly and collegially to Wall Street and make the point that it shouldn’t ignore the growing public anger about its apparent impunity. It was important for Clinton to defend political compromise then, and it is important for Obama to defend his health-care legacy now, when its ﬁnancial underpinnings look increasingly unstable. If you claim that politicians should talk to ﬁnanciers only in combative sound bites, you’re asking for the sort of permanent confrontation that helps nobody. We’re living in the sort of world where posturing too often counts for more than facts, where communication matters less the more content it contains. This is a world where Trump could declare on the campaign trail that his opponents were “totally controlled by Goldman Sachs and then quietly pack his presidential administration with cronies from Wall Street. It might be easy for the political center to, at this moment, make a false god of “perception.” But that would be as inauthentic as Trump’s populist anger. Stand up straight and repeat the liberal centrists’ creed: We talk to everybody, because everyone might help us craft a workable compromise. Transparent, well-regulated, credible markets help us all. Compromise works. So yes, Obama should go and talk to Cantor Fitzgerald, and he should be paid the going rate for speeches for recent ex-presidents. Perhaps, if the criticism gets too cutting, he should donate the fee to charity. But even if he decides to hang on to it, that’s not corruption. In fact, it would be a sign that some people, at least, aren’t willing to dump common sense for populist posturing. Mihir Sharma is a Bloomberg View columnist.

Oh, just leadership and courage By Andrew Malcolm Contributing columnist Congress returned from another half-month vacation this week to confront a national jobapproval rating wallowing in the low double digits. Hard to understand why it’s that high. Both the Republican and Democratic parties have slipped into their own brand of do-nothing dysfunction. With the dearth — or death — of political moderates on Capitol Hill, each political party has strutted into its own distant ideological corner to utter daily talking points in order to rally its fervent faithful to no end whatsoever, fundraising aside. This may have been understandable when Congress and the executive branch were controlled by separate parties with no incentive to get together and (whispering) compromise to earn their salaries of 172 grand a year. For nearly a decade now voters across the country have been edging toward giving Republicans the ignition keys to virtually everything — 33 governor ofﬁces, two-thirds of state legislative chambers, both houses of Congress and now the White House. Under President Barack Obama’s me-ﬁrst leadership, his party lost nearly 1,000 local seats. Understandably, impatient voters have an expectation that now, ﬁnally, some changes will get done in D.C. to ﬁx health care, cut waste, reduce regulations, spur the economy, restore the military, overhaul taxes and — here’s a novel idea — pass an actual budget with an eye beyond, say, the next 180 days. Yes, the Senate did conﬁrm a Supreme Court nominee to end a yearlong vacancy. But only after weeks of kabuki-like partisan maneuvering that forced GOP Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to kill an arcane rule requiring 60 yea votes. Good riddance! And health care? For years Republicans jabbered about repealing and replacing the Affordable Care Act, known as Obamacare. They had some three dozen pro forma House votes to do just that. Now they have a GOP president with a pen who ran on the same thing. But they couldn’t do it. With minority Democrats watching in delight, a watered-down Republican R&R plan ran aground on its own members’ ideological rifts, even with intense presidential coaxing. Turns out, the majority party is really a collection of stubborn factions putting professed principles over actual governing. Not the lasting image of a GOP action plan promised last year. Nor one that can endure long. Now we are led to believe a new repeal plan is almost ready. It’s just not quite all written down yet. Yeah, right. Back to your regularly scheduled programming. Oh, and a government shutdown looms at month’s end unless, ﬁrst, Republicans and then perhaps some Democrats can agree on what should be in the budget. Realize, this “plan” is just good through September. Then, the theater, the posturing, the principled pontiﬁcating begin again. Tax changes that could goose an economy that appears to be sputtering again? Well, folks, that reveals similar ideological rifts within Lincoln’s party. Oh, and its tax cuts were built upon savings from the Obamacare repeal that didn’t happen yet. Maybe next year. At least we can agree on national defense, which protects everyone, right? Uh, no. Some Republicans don’t think the proposed spending hike is large enough. Democrats want a matching hike in domestic spending. Meanwhile, too much military equipment is grounded for unaffordable spare parts. Good thing there are no brewing foreign crises that might require a military defense. Speaking of Democrats, their congressional leadership consists of shortsighted septuagenarians from the coasts. Their state-level political farm teams in the heartland have been devastated by Republican successes. If those are not overturned in next year’s midterms, the GOP will again control redistricting after the 2020 census. The Dems’ current hero is Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont, a socialist who denounces the wealthy while owning three homes and isn’t even a Democrat. On a so-called unity tour this month with party chairs, Sanders reminded crowds of that. He was cheered. Democratic Party Chairman Tom Perez was booed. Deputy Chairman Rep. Keith Ellison blamed November’s upset loss partly on Obama. In some respects, political parties reﬂect their constituencies. There’s no doubt American society is riven too with numerous fractures. But no one forced these politicians to run. They volunteered for leadership. The hope is that their collective efforts, fueled by wisdom, a dollop of courage and compromise, lead to a roughly united 50 states of America. A democracy like ours requires a chief executive with vision and leadership and two functioning political parties to compete, to push, to challenge and to balance the other with energy and better ideas. We don’t have that now. Andrew Malcolm is an author and veteran national and foreign correspondent covering politics since the 1960s. Follow him @ AHMalcolm.

Petty, a junior from Somerset, Ohio, took top honors in the 100-meter hurdles (15.21) and in the high jump (1.70). McNeal, a freshman from Logan, Ohio, was second in the shot put (12.72m) and ﬁfth in the discus throw with an effort of 37.92m, while Roberts - a senior from Vinton, Ohio - was third in the shot put (12.43m) and fourth in the hammer throw (44.94m). Roberts also placed eighth in the both the discus throw (34.93m) and javelin throw (29.00m). Rio Grande tallied 60 points as a team to ﬁnish seventh among the 13 teams in the scoring. Otterbein won the team title with 110 points, while Malone placed second (100.5 pts.) and Spring Arbor was third (91 pts.). Ten other individuals representing the RedStorm managed top 10 showings, while Rio’s 4x400 relay team added a top ﬁve ﬁnish of its own. The top individual performances included sophomore Taylor Monk (Ironton, OH), who was sixth in the javelin throw with a toss of 29.83m; junior Kylie Caudill (Pickerington, OH), who was seventh in the triple jump with a leap of 9.24m; senior Shelby Pickens (Racine, OH), who placed seventh in the 400-meter hurdles with a time of 1:12.92; sophomore Kayla Charmichael (Newark, OH), who was seventh in the 100-meter dash after crossing in 13.16; junior Emili Sannes (Carlisle, OH), who was eighth in the 800-meter run with a time of 2:28.76; sophomore Lucy Williams (Athens, OH), who placed ninth in the 1,500-meter run with a ﬁnish of 4:57.49; senior Bre West (Gallipolis, OH), who took ninth in the pole vault after clearing 2.35m; senior Clarissa Johnson-Kosnich (Hillsboro, OH), who was 10th in the 400-meter dash with a time of 1:02.98; freshman Maria Fondale (New Lexington, OH), who was 10th in the 100 with a time of 13.33; and freshman Natalie Seeberg (Urbana, OH), who ﬁnished 10th in the hammer throw with a heave of 38.80m.

So we made him work a little bit and we had some good at-bats. We were aggressive on the basepaths and made them make some decisions. A couple of throws went our way, we ﬁnally got some breaks to go our way, and we were able to score some runs. In order to win, you have to do what is necessary. It’s not always the same exact approach. Today, we took a lot of pitches until we saw some strikes. They put us in a lot of hitter’s counts by doing that and fortunately it worked out where we got a lot of free bases. Most of our bases tonight were free bases. The most important thing I preach to these guys is to get on base. Because runs win games and not hits.” For the youthful Big Blacks, where winning games this season has been hard to come by, they raised their record to 5-17. Two of those are over the White Falcons, as Point Pleasant won its ﬁrst game by edging Wahama 5-4 on March 23. The White Falcons fell to 11-8, despite Hoffman’s four-hit 10-strikeout effort, which included whifﬁng six Big Blacks out of seven straight batters at one point. After facing the lineup all the way through in the opening inning, Hoffman retired the side 1-2-3 in the second and third — and escaped a pair of leadoff walks in the fourth. That set up the White Falcon rally, which includ- ed 10 hits — as Tanner Smith went 3-for-4 with a two-run single in the fourth, an RBI-double in the ﬁfth, and ﬁnally a two-run double in the sixth to make it 11-8. Grate went 2-for-3, as Hoffman jumpstarted the sixth-inning barrage with an RBI-triple to right ﬁeld. But Wahama did strand seven runners, including at second and ﬁrst in the sixth — as a Point Pleasant relay throw on Smith’s double to the outﬁeld gunned down David Hendrick at third. Point Pleasant’s Patrick Stanton, in relief of winning pitcher Levi Mitchell, secured the save with a 1-2-3 seventh. Wahama coach Tom Cullen said simply, “we are our own worst enemy”. “We kill ourselves constantly and can’t make anything easy,” he said. “Physical errors, it’s been going on and on and on. When it stops, then we’ll be a little better. We battled back and Philip (Hoffman) ﬁnally settled in, but his pitch count was up at 40 pitches in that ﬁrst inning. That limits how much farther you can go. We didn’t help out Antonio much behind him either, especially in the seventh. It snowballed and it’s frustrating. But Point Pleasant played well, so give them some credit.” Mitchell, after striking out Serevicz to strand Grate at third to end the ﬁfth, faced the entire Wahama lineup in the sixth — and allowed four See WAHAMA | 7 �SPORTS Daily Sentinel MLB Baltimore New York Boston Tampa Bay Toronto W 13 11 11 11 6 L 6 7 8 11 14 Detroit Chicago Cleveland Minnesota Kansas City W 11 11 10 10 7 L 8 9 9 10 14 W 14 10 10 9 8 L 6 10 12 12 13 Houston Oakland Los Angeles Texas Seattle ___ Washington Miami Philadelphia New York Atlanta W 14 10 9 8 6 L 6 8 9 11 12 Chicago Milwaukee Cincinnati St. Louis Pittsburgh W 12 12 10 9 8 L 8 11 12 11 12 Colorado Arizona Los Angeles San Diego San Francisco W 14 14 10 8 7 L 7 8 11 14 14 AMERICAN LEAGUE Tuesday’s Games Houston 4, Cleveland 2 Tampa Bay 2, Baltimore 0 N.Y.

Cincinnati can’t afford for that to become a trend. In the last few years, the Bengals (6-9-1) had the luxury of using high draft picks on players who would sit and learn. Things have changed this time around. At No. 9, they’re drafting the earliest since 2011, when they took A.J. Green with the fourth overall pick and then got Andy Dalton in the second round with the 35th pick. Both made immediate impacts. The Bengals have several holes that need ﬁlled after they lost some of their mainstays in free agency. Their top two offensive linemen — left tackle Andrew Whitworth and right guard Kevin Zeitler — signed with the Rams and the Browns, respectively. The Bengals chose not to sign defensive tackle Domata Peko, and they released linebacker Rey Maualuga. It’s far different from the last two years, when the Bengals were coming off playoff appearances and kept the core of their team intact. They took tackle Cedric Ogbuehi at 21st overall in 2015 even though he was recovering from reconstructive knee surgery that severely limited him as a rookie.

Randy Payton is the Sports Information Director for the University of Rio Grande. Rio softball sees winning streak snapped By Randy Payton For Ohio Valley Publishing PITTSBURGH, Pa. — It’s been said that all good things must come to an end - even schoolrecord winning streaks. The University of Rio Grande softball team recorded a 26th consecutive victory before seeing its string of success snapped with a game two loss to Carlow University, Saturday afternoon, in a River States Conference doubleheader at Fairhaven Park’s Lynn Field. The RedStorm rolled to a 12-0 mercy ruleshortened triumph in the opener, while the Celtics mounted a miraculous comeback late in the nightcap for a 10-7 win. Rio Grande ﬁnished the day at 37-7 overall and 15-1 in conference play. Carlow, which registered just its second all-time win against the RedStorm, moved to 13-13-1 overall and 4-10 in league play. The 10 runs were the most allowed by Rio pitching since a 10-3 loss to Mount Vernon Nazarene on March 18, 2015 in Myrtle Beach, S.C. The loss was also the ﬁrst for the RedStorm since a 5-2 setback at the hands of Davenport (Mich.) on March 10. In Saturday’s game one win, Rio’s offensive story centered around sophomore Kelsey Conkey (Minford, OH), who hit a grand slam home run in the RedStorm’s ﬁve-run ﬁrst inning before clubbing a two-run home run in the fourth inning. In between, Rio also was the beneﬁciary of a two-run home run in the second inning by sophomore Carly Skeese (Newark, OH). The RedStorm ﬁnished things off with a URG courtesy photo Rio Grande’s Kelsey Conkey, pictured here in a win from earlier this season, hit three home runs in the RedStorm’s doubleheader split with Carlow University, Saturday afternoon, in Pittsburgh. trio of runs in the ﬁfth, highlighted by a tworun single off the bat of senior Alex Stevens (Oak Hill, OH). Stevens ﬁnished 3-for-3 at the plate and scored four times, while Skeese, junior Tayler Arndt (Clyde, OH) and Conkey all had two hits each. Sophomore Kacee Jenkins (Jackson, OH) allowed two hits and struck out three over four innings to earn the win, while junior Mallory Powell (Flatwoods, KY) allowed one hit in a scoreless inning of relief to wrap things up. Sydney Greece started and took the loss for Carlow. Conkey got Rio off to a good start in game two as well, cracking her third homer of the day in the second inning to give the RedStorm a 1-0 lead. A run-scoring single by Carlow’s Kenzie Young tied the game at 1-1 in the fourth and started a see-saw affair the rest of the way, with a sacriﬁce ﬂy by senior Cheyenne Hamaker (Hilliard, OH) in the top of the ﬁfth giving Rio back a 2-1 advantage. An error by the RedStorm and an RBI double by Abby Tatgenhorst in the home ﬁfth made it 3-2 in favor of the Celtics, but Rio batted around and scored ﬁve times in the top of the sixth to take a seemingly insurmountable 7-3 lead. Senior Brittany Walk (Unionville Center, OH) had a two-run double, Stevens had a run-scoring two-base hit and sophomore MacKenzie Nichols (Columbus, OH) had an RBI single in the frame. But then came a disastorous bottom of the sixth, which saw Carlow send 11 batters to the plate and score seven times. Allison Hryadil had the big blow in the Celtics, hammering a three-run home run to center ﬁeld to give the hosts a 9-7 cushion. Nichols and freshman Michaela Criner (Lancaster, OH) had two hits each for Rio Grande, while Jenkins - the last of three RedStorm pitchers - suffered the loss. Hryadil headed Carlow’s 14-hit attack, going 3-for-4. Young, Danielle Levato, Natalie Bashada and Haley Stedeford all ﬁnished with two hits each. Nicole Hall, who began the game in the circle for the Celtics before giving way to Caitlyn Suter in the sixth, re-entered in the home seventh and retired the side for a save. Suter got the win despite allowing the ﬁve sixth inning runs - only one of which was earned. Rio Grande returns to action on Tuesday afternoon when it hosts rival Shawnee State University for a non-conference doubleheader at Rio Softball Park. First pitch for the opening game is slated for 3 p.m. Randy Payton is the Sports Information Director for the University of Rio Grande. �SPORTS/CLASSIFIEDS 8 Thursday, April 27, 2017 Daily Sentinel Lady Knights blanked by Winfield, 3-0 By Alex Hawley a strikeout ended the frame.

After suffering a 6-2 setback at home just 24 hours earlier, the Gallia Academy softball exacted a little revenge Tuesday following a 9-3 victory over host Coal Grove in an Ohio Valley Conference contest in Lawrence County. The Blue Angels (10-5, 8-3 OVC) trailed 3-2 through four full innings of play, but the guests rallied with seven unanswered runs over the ﬁnal three frames en route to the six-run triumph. GAHS actually took the ﬁrst lead of the night as Alex Barnes scored on an error following a Jenna Meadows single, then Meadows came around on a Bailey Meadows single that gave the Blue and White a 2-0 edge midway through an inning of play. The Lady Hornets (12-7, 6-3), however, responded with two runs in the home half of the ﬁrst as Lauren Crum delivered a two-RBI single that plated both Lauren Meyer and Kasey Murphy for a tie ball game. After a scoreless second, CGHS took its only lead of the night when Murphy scored from second on an error that immediately followed a Crum single — giving the hosts a 3-2 edge through three complete. The Red and Black mustered only two more baserunners over the ﬁnal four frames. Gallia Academy recaptured the lead in the top of the ﬁfth as Jenna Meadows doubled in both Chas Adams and Barnes for a 4-3 advantage, then later scored on a Bailey Meadows single that increased the visiting cushion out 5-3. Barnes singled home Adams to start the scoring in the seventh, then Barnes came around on a Bailey Meadows single — making it a 7-3 contest. Carly Shriver provided a two-out single to center that allowed both Bailey Meadows and Ryleigh Caldwell to come home while wrapping up the season split. The Blue Angels outhit the hosts by a sizable 16-7 overall margin and also played an error-free contest, while CGHS committed three errors in the setback. The guests stranded seven runners on base, while the Lady Hornets left ﬁve on the bags. Hunter Copley was the winning pitcher of record after allowing three earned runs, seven hits and a walk over seven innings while striking out seven. Murphy took the loss after surrendering eight earned runs, 16 hits and one walk over seven frames while fanning four. Barnes, Caldwell and Bailey Meadows led Gallia Academy with three hits apiece, followed by Copley and Jenna Meadows with two safeties each. Shriver, Kimberly Edelmann and Paxton Roberts also added a hit each in the triumph. Shriver and both Meadows produced a teamhigh two RBIs apiece. Barnes led the guests with three runs scored, while Adams and Jenna Meadows each scored twice. Murphy and Crum led Coal Grove with two hits apiece, followed by Meyer, Ali Waller and Khylee Keaton with a safety each. Crum led the hosts with two RBIs and Murphy scored a team-best two runs. The Blue Angels return to action Wednesday when they travel to Chesapeake for an OVC matchup at 5 p.m. Daily Sentinel Wildcats take part in Last Chance Invite By Alex Hawley ahawley@civitasmedia.com HUNTINGTON, W.Va. — It was the Scarlet Knights’ night.

The Thunder head home a year after advancing to the Western Conference ﬁnals after Houston took this series 4-1. The Rockets used a 5-1 run, with all their points coming on free throws, to pull away from the Thunder and make it 98-91. Victor Oladipo threw a pass about 5 feet above Westbrook’s head and out of bounds on the next possession and Harden made a layup on the other end with about 3 minutes left. The Rockets began eating up the clock after that and Oklahoma City missed shot after shot that could have closed the gap. Houston couldn’t add to its lead though and the Thunder cut it to 4 points twice in the ﬁnal seconds, with the second one coming on a basket by Alex Abrines. But Harden made two free throws both times they got close to secure the win. After scoring 20 points in the third quarter, Westbrook made just 2 of 11 fourth-quarter shots in a disappointing end to a stellar season where he became the ﬁrst player since Oscar Robertson in 1961-62 to average a tripledouble by scoring an NBA-best 31.6 points a game, with 10.7 rebounds and 10.4 assists. He also set an NBA record for most triple-doubles with 42 to help the Thunder withstand the loss of All-Star Kevin Durant in free agency. He had 11 rebounds and nine assists to come just shy of his fourth straight triple-double in this series, but he made just 5 of a career-high 18 3-point attempts. ton. The setback against Jackson is the third consecutive in the series, as the Ironmen are the defending SEOAL champion. Against the Ironmen, Gallia Academy senior captain Miles Cornwell captured a hard-fought 4-6, 6-1, 7-6 victory over Blake Wyatt at third singles. The Blue and White won at second singles as well, as Pierce Wilcoxon won in straight sets over Jackson’s Caden Southard 6-2, 6-0. Radune, at ﬁrst singles against Gallia Academy’s Miguel Velasco, recorded a 7-5, 6-2 triumph. Velasco, Wilcoxon and Cornwell were playing in their regular singles slots for the Blue Devils. The Ironmen swept both doubles tilts, giving up only six combined points in the process. At ﬁrst doubles, Jackson seniors Zayne Warrens and Travis Stevens swept MiKayla Edelmann and Jenelle Stevens 6-0, 6-1. At second doubles, the Red and White’s Madison Ephlin and Mason Sheets secured a 6-2, 6-3 win over Olivia Meadows and Katie Carpenter. The Blue Devils’ nonleague match at Marietta on Tuesday was cancelled, due to the Tigers having to make up an ECOL affair. Gallia Academy will return home, and return to non-league action, against Wheelersburg today (Wednesday, April 26). Paul Boggs can be reached at 740446-2342, ext. 2106 Working overtime: Extra hockey may take its toll By Stephen Whyno Associated Press After the Washington Capitals lost a double-overtime heartbreaker in the ﬁrst round, Brooks Orpik just wanted to eat some food and go home to sleep. A playoff veteran, Orpik knew it would be better to get another workout in and take care of his 36-year-old body before leaving the arena. “You get mentally fatigued, as well, the longer you play,” Orpik said. “Sometimes that can have a carry-over, I think. Everybody’s in such good shape physically I think you can get through it. I think the mental effect is probably a little bit bigger.” Ottawa Senators coach Guy Boucher likes to say that rest is a weapon, and it certainly applies to handling the aftermath of overtime hockey. And there has been a lot of that so far in the 2017 postseason. A record 18 games went to overtime in the ﬁrst round with at least one in every series. The effects will vary drastically, from teams like the Capitals and Senators that have played more than 40 extra minutes to the Nashville Predators and Anaheim Ducks, which ﬁnished off their opponents in sweeps. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
