Middleport man sentenced in arson case
By Sarah Hawley
shawley@civitasmedia.com
POMEROY — A Middleport man has been sentenced
to three years in prison and
ordered to pay more than
$300,000 in restitution after
pleading guilty to setting the
fire that destroyed a Middleport business nearly a year ago.
Keith R. Day, 32, pleaded
guilty last month to two counts
of arson, fourth-degree felonies.
Day was initially indicted on
two counts of aggravated arson.
The fire destroyed Ingels
Carpet and Flooring and a
neighboring building, as well as
damaging utilities in the area.
Judge I. Carson Crow sentenced Day in accordance with
the plea agreement put forth by
the prosecution and defense.
Day was sentenced to the
maximum of 18 months in
prison on each count, to run
consecutive for a total of three
years in prison.
Day was also ordered to pay
restitution in the total amount
of $352,747.99, including more
than $234,000 to the owner of

Ingels Carpet and Flooring.
Day’s attorney, Public
Defender Karyn Justice, noted
that Day is indigent. Crow
asked if the victims were in
agreement with the plea and
sentence given that it may be
unlikely they would receive the
requested restitution. Victims
Advocate Theda Petrasko
stated that they were.
Day spoke briefly during the
hearing, stating that he was
sorry for taking up everybody’s
time and for what he had done.
Day must also register on the
Ohio arson registry as a result
of pleading guilty to arson.
Numerous area fire departments were called to the fire
on North Second Avenue in
Middleport during the evening
and over night hours of May
16, 2016, containing the fire
to the Ingels building and two
neighboring buildings.
Day was remanded to the
custody of the Meigs County
Sheriff’s Office to be transported to prison. He had been
free on bond leading up to
Monday’s hearing.

Staff Report
POMEROY — A former treasurer for a group
of churches in Meigs
County was sentenced on
Monday to seven months
in prison after pleading
guilty last week to the
theft of funds from the
organization.
Maxine Rose, 67, of
Racine, appeared in
Meigs County Common
Pleas Court with counsel
Denise Bunce for Monday’s hearing.
Judge I. Carson Crow
declined to follow the
sentencing recommendation made by the
prosecution and defense
in the case which called
for Rose to be placed on
community control for a
two-year period, as well
as paying $9,000 in restitution to the Southern
Charge United Methodist
Churches.
Crow stated that the
court documents, including the pre-sentence
investigation, alleged that
approximately $24,000
had been taken from the
churches, a figure which
was confirmed by the victim and the prosecution.
The churches had
agreed to a restitution
amount of $9,000 which
was paid up front at last
week’s change of plea, but
Crow said the court was
not inclined to forgive
the additional $16,000
although the church was.
He ordered Rose to pay

Volunteer and “Talk of

the commencement
speaker for this year’s
ceremony. Campbell
has earned several
achievement awards
such as the Distinguished Alumna award
at her alma mater,
Chatham University
(then Pennsylvania
College for Women)
and has made history
by breaking barriers
as the first woman
elected to the boards
of numerous organizations. She said she
encourages the students to go above and
beyond the call of their
careers to be leaders in
their fields.
“To be successful,
you need to strive
toward and live up to
your full potential. You
have the necessary
tools, all you need is
the imagination and
determination to use
them. Communication,
the ability to talk to
people, one on one,
clearly express your
thoughts and ideas,
and establish meaningful relationships with
people who are important to you, actually
everyone with whom
you come in contact.
To be successful in any
endeavor, you must be
an effective communicator,” Campbell said.

I wish each of you only
the best, on this, the
first day of the rest of
your life.”
Provost Dr. Richard
Sax said the class has
made a lasting impression on Rio, and he
hopes they continue to
be influential members
of society wherever
their lives may take
them.
“As we end the
141st Commencement
at Rio Grande, I am
pleased to reflect on
the knowledge and
skill sets we have
endeavored to instill
in our graduates. The
faculty have enjoyed
these years of interacting with and mentoring our students,” Sax
said. “As those graduates look toward their
future professional
and personal commitments, it is my hope
that we have gifted
them not only with
educational proficiencies, but also with the
passion to being sensitive to the voids and
needs of this world
and answering the call
to be of use addressing those issues and
making a difference
for many decades to
come.”
The institution’s
administration, faculty, staff and boards
of trustees wish the
Class of 2017 the best
of luck and thank the
graduates’ families
for supporting their
achievements during
their time at Rio.

THEIR VIEW
Is baseball a white
man’s sport?
By Mark Anthony Neal
Contributing columnist
At a baseball game at Fenway Park in Boston
last week, Baltimore Orioles outfielder Adam
Jones was peppered with racial epithets by fans,
including one who threw a bag of peanuts at him.
A perennial all-star, Jones is one of the most
visible African-American players in the major
leagues. That the incident occurred less than a
month after Major League Baseball celebrated
the 70th anniversary of Jackie Robinson’s breaking of the so-called color line speaks volumes
about not only the challenges of diversity faced in
the sport, but our nation at large.
To be sure, the verbal abuse that Jones faced
is nowhere near the level that Robinson experienced during his rookie season with the Brooklyn
Dodgers in 1947. This is the second incident
involving Jones, who had a banana thrown at him
at a game in San Francisco in 2013.
Whereas Robinson was lauded for his restraint
in the face of racial hatred directed toward him,
Jones has been outspoken about issues about race
in the sport — and responses to his criticism
highlight the racial fault lines in baseball that go
beyond these isolated incidents.
Last fall, during the early moments of quarterback Colin Kaepernick’s “kneeling” protest, Jones
was asked why baseball players didn’t engage in
such protest, as exemplified by those in the NBA
or in the collegiate ranks. Jones’ response — that
baseball was a “white man’s sport” — received
much attention. Indeed, African-American players make up less than 9 percent of league rosters,
which averages to a little more than two per team
on a roster of 25.
Jones’ point was that if he were to “step out”
on issues of social justice, there were likely few
who would step out with him. As Jones noted,
“In football, you can’t kick them out. You need
those players. In baseball, they don’t need us.”
In response, Hall of Fame manager and general
manager Tony LaRussa not only dismissed Jones’
comments, but asserted that if one of his players
did what Kaepernick did, he “absolutely would
not allow it. … If you want to make your statement, you make it in the clubhouse, but not out
there. You’re not going to show it that way publicly and disrespectfully.” La Russa’s comments
speak palpably to the ways the sport has historically sought to police the expression of AfricanAmerican and Latino ballplayers.
Hall of Famer and retired New York Yankee
star Goose Gossage has built a virtual cottage
industry around his yearly rants about what’s
wrong with the sport, and his targets, more often
than not, are Latino ballplayers. One of Gossage’s
favorite targets is Toronto Blue Jays outfielder
Jose Bautista, who often dramatically flips his bat
after hitting home runs in a way that is reminiscent of the flair and enthusiasm that Latino players have brought to the game. Asked about Bautista, Gossage replied “Bautista is a … disgrace
to the game. … He’s embarrassing to all the Latin
players, whoever played before him.”
Gossage is among a generation of former players and analysts — Bob Costas among them —
who talk regularly about the purity of the game
and how it should be played, but might it simply
be the spirit of competitiveness?
Bautista’s teammate, pitcher Marcus Stroman,
an African-American, was recently criticized by
one of the team’s on-air analysts, Gregg Zaun,
another former white ballplayer, for being too
demonstrative at the end of a game that he helped
win. One wonders if Zaun would have been so
demonstrative in his criticism if Stroman were
white.
Stroman was the first number one draft pick
ever taken from Duke University, and though
Stroman left school after his junior year, he
returned to Duke to earn his degree while rehabbing an early-career injury. Stroman is the kind of
player the league should be going out of its way
to celebrate.
Ironically, as baseball struggles to replenish
older generations of fans and develop sporttranscending stars like basketball and football
have done so successfully, it needs both the controversies and the style of play that instigate such
controversy in its attempt to remain relevant and
appealing to diverse sports audiences.

Southern’s Kamryn Smith inks with Muskingum

On April 28 at SHS, Kamryn Smith signed her letter of intent to join the Muskingum
volleyball team. Sitting in the front row, from left, are Erica Smith, Chris Smith,
Kamryn Smith and Dylan Smith. Standing in the back row are Southern track and field
head coach Beth Bay, Lady Tornadoes volleyball head coach Kim Hupp, SHS Principal
Daniel Otto and SHS athletic director Alan Crisp.
RACINE, Ohio — On April
28 at Southern High School,
senior Kamryn Smith signed
her letter of intent to join the
Muskingum volleyball team
next season.
“It’s actually been a dream
of mine for a long time to
play in college,” Smith said.
“I always hoped that I would,
but it was a small hope. I
wasn’t sure that I’d actually
get to, so it means a lot to
me.”
Smith — one of 11 seniors
on Southern’s 2016 club — is
a four-year member of the
SHS volleyball program, and
helped the Lady Tornadoes
claim back-to-back Tri-Valley
Conference Hocking Division
titles in her junior and senior
seasons.
“Kamryn is a motivated,
dedicated, hardworking ath-
lete,” SHS head coach Kim
Hupp said. “She’s always
seeking knowledge on how
to become a better volleyball
player. No matter what I
asked of her, she did her best
to make it happen. I think she
will be a great asset to the
Muskingum volleyball team
this fall.
“Kamryn was one of our
team captains this past
year so her leadership will
be greatly missed,” Hupp
added. “She always set a
good example for her teammates through her hustle
and actions. She was an all
around player, playing back
row and outside hitter, so our
upcoming club will have to
work hard to fill her spot. I
wish her the best of luck at
Muskingum as she starts her
college career playing volleyball.”
As a senior, Smith helped
lead the Purple and Gold
to a 21-3 record and a sectional championship. She was
rewarded for her effort being
named first team and the
Defensive Player of the Year
in both the league and the
district.
“Coach Hupp really taught
us a lot this year and she
improved us,” Smith said.
“With what she taught us, I
was able to be defensive player of the year, so I got to play
in the All-Ohio game, which
is where I got recognized by
Muskingum’s coach.”
MU head coach Hallie Donathan led the Lady Muskies
to a 15-14 record, including
3-6 in the Ohio Athletic Conference.
Muskingum is a private
NCAA Division III school,
located in New Concord,
Ohio.

Lady Falcons top
Ravenswood, 13-5
By Bryan Walters
bwalters@civitasmedia.com
RAVENSWOOD, W.Va. — And then there were
only two.
The Wahama softball team will face Williamstown in the Class A Region 4, Section 1 finals on
Monday after claiming a convincing 13-5 victory
over host Ravenswood on Saturday in the loser’s
bracket final in Jackson County.
The second-seeded Lady Falcons (23-9) trailed
4-2 after an inning of play, but the guests reeled
off 11 consecutive runs en route to establishing
a commanding 13-4 cushion midway through the
fifth.
The top-seeded Red Devilettes (18-9) tacked on
a run in their half of the fifth, but ultimately ran
out of outs in the five-inning mercy-rule outcome.
The win advanced WHS to the Section 1 championship game on Monday, and the Red and White
will need to beat the fourth-seeded Lady Yellow
Jackets twice to move on to regionals. Williamstown — which defeated Wahama 7-5 in the winner’s bracket final — will host the first championship game at 5:30 p.m.
Wahama jumped out to an early 2-0 lead as
Hannah Rose and Hannah Billups received backto-back walks to start the game, then Rose came
around with the first run on a single from Maddy
VanMatre. Billups later stole home and scored during a perfectly-executed double steal, giving the
guests a two-run cushion.
RHS, however, countered with four runs in its
half of the first as five hits led to four scores, giving the Red and Black a 4-2 advantage through an
inning of play.
The Lady Falcons tied the game in the top of
the second as a bases loaded walk to Billups plated
Emily VanMatre, then Amara Helton scored on a
Maddy VanMatre single for a four-all contest.
Wahama then claimed a permanent lead in the
third as Cynthia Hendrick scored during a double
play groundout, then Maddy VanMatre doubled
home both Helton and Rose for a 7-4 lead midway
through the third frame.
The Lady Falcons erupted for six more scores
in the fourth as the guests sent 11 batters to the
plate, which led to five hits, two walks and a hit
batter en route to establishing a 13-4 edge.
Ravenswood produced six straight singles in
the bottom half of the fourth, but yielded only one
run as all three outs in the frame were recorded on
force outs — making it a 13-5 game through four
complete.
Neither squad produced a baserunner in the
fifth and Wahama captured the mercy-rule decision through five innings of play.
The Lady Falcons outhit the hosts by a 16-11
overall margin and neither team committed an
error in the contest. WHS stranded eight runners
on the bags, while the Red Devilettes left only
three on base.
Taylor McGrew was the winning pitcher of

Eastern’s Alia Hayes signs with St. Louis
By Alex Hawley
ahawley@civitasmedia.com
TUPPERS PLAINS,
Ohio — Wednesday
turned out to be quite a
memorable day for EHS
senior Alia Hayes.
In the Eastern High
School lobby, just hours
before winning a pair
of events and helping
the Lady Eagles to their
eighth straight Tri-Valley Conference Hocking
Division championship,
Hayes signed her letter
of her letter of intent to
join St. Louis University track and field team.
“I remember telling
my parents when I was
little, that I had two
main goals,” Hayes
said. “One was to compete at the Division I
level in a sport and the
other was to move to a
city and experience new
culture. In the next few
months, being able to
experience all of those
dreams is amazing.”
St. Louis University a
private NCAA Division
I school that competes
in the Atlantic 10 Conference. Hayes will be
joining a Billikens team
that finished 10th in the
A-10 this season.
“The campus is beau-
tiful, it’s right in the
heart of the city,” Hayes
said. “It’s everything
that I dreamed about
in a school. I went on
an official visit and I
absolutely fell in love
with the team and the
coaching staff. Their
athletic complexes and
especially their academic buildings were just
amazing.”
Alia will add to the
SLU throwing program,
as she currently holds
personal records of 37
feet, 6 inches in the
shot put and 127-8 in
the discus.
“Once she gets into a
throwing program, the
sky is the limit,” said
14th year EHS head
coach Josh Fogle said.
“I still hope she has
some left in her this
year to get to the podium in the state meet.
Once she gets somewhere with someone
to work with her, get
her stronger techniquewise, again the sky is
the limit.”
Hayes is in her third
year as a member of the
Eastern track and field
team, and has reached
the state meet in each
of her first two seasons.
At the state meet in
her junior season, Alia
finished 10th in the
state in the shot put
(36-11.25) and 12th in
the discus throw (12300). Hayes also made
it to the state meet in
the discus in her sophomore season, but did
not record a qualifying
throw.
Hayes has won
back-to-back league
championships in both
events, and she holds
the league record in the
discus throw, at 127-8.
As a junior, Alia was
district champion in
the discus and regional
runner-up in the shot
put.
After a knee injury
suffered in basketball
season held Alia out of
spring sports her freshman year, she more
than made up for it as a
sophomore, excelling at
both softball and track.
“She started off playing softball, then she
kind of realized her
potential and started
just throwing,” Fogle
said. “She has the
school record in discus,
she doesn’t have the
school record in shot
put, but she’s thrown
farther than anyone else
since I’ve been here.”
In her one season of
softball, Hayes helped
the Lady Eagles to a
league championship
and 20-3 record. Alia
was an all-league first
team selection and an
all-district honorable
mention.
“It was an incredibly hard decision,”
Hayes said of choosing
between spring sports.
“I knew that I wanted
to hopefully compete
in college and it was a
moment when I had to
look and see what my
best option was. At that
point, I loved track and
I was successful at it. I
knew that I had a better chance, so I decided
that I wanted to put all
of my eggs in that basket. I’m glad that I did,
because I fell even more
in love with the sport
and it just worked out.”
Alia was also a member of the 2014 state
champion basketball
team. Hayes is ranked
seventh in the EHS
class of 2017, holding
a 3.96 weighted and
3.75 unweighted gradepoint-average.
At St. Louis, Hayes
will major in biology.

PEDRO, Ohio — The South Gallia High School
track and field teams placed in four events on Friday
— as part of the annual Rock Hill Invitational.
The Rebels scored points in three boys events and
one girls event — paced by freshman Kyle Northup in
the boys high jump.
Northup notched a runner-up performance by clearing exactly five feet and eight inches.
The other two Rebel boys placements were a pair of
relay teams —the sixth-place 4x800m squad and the
seventh-place 4x100m unit.
The 4x800m quartet consisted of senior Elijah Warner, freshman Jared Burdette and sophomores Gavin
Bevan and Bryceton Folden.
For the 4x100m, Bevan, Burdette and Folden
formed with Northup.
On the girls side, the Lady Rebels were fifth in the
4x200m relay.
The foursome featured senior Autumn Norris,
sophomore Jessica Luther and freshmen Katie Bowling and Alyssa Cremeens.

Eagles blank Rebels in sectional
By Paul Boggs
pboggs@civitasmedia.com
BEAVER, Ohio — In
losing at Eastern, the
Rebels didn’t get a
chance to play at Eastern.
That’s because the
South Gallia High
School baseball team,
in only amounting one
baserunner while giving
up seven runs early on,
suffered a 10-0 shutout
loss at the Pike Eastern
Eagles on Saturday in
a Division IV sectional
semifinal.
While only four Eagles
appeared at the plate in
the opening inning and
no runs scored, host
Eastern erupted with
seven runs in the second
stanza —sending 11
batters to the dish in the
process.
The Eagles then
scored single points in
the final three frames,
thus posting the 10-0
blanking — and advancing to play at Meigs
Eastern on Tuesday in
the sectional championship.
The contest was called
following the fifth inning
with the 10-run mercy
rule.
Pike Eastern is the
sixth-seeded squad in
the sectional, while
Meigs Eastern is the
third seed.
First pitch is set for 5
p.m.

Raiders roll past South Gallia
By Paul Boggs
pboggs@civitasmedia.com
BIDWELL, Ohio —
Once again, the River
Valley Raiders swept
South Gallia on the baseball diamond.
The host Raiders
scored a pair of firstinning runs, added a
single point for a 3-0
lead after three, then
erupted for nine runs
over the final two
innings towards a 12-1
non-league win over the
rival Rebels on Thursday.
South Gallia got its
only run in the fourth
frame —when Cory
Bryan drew a one-out
walk, then stole three
bases to make it 3-1.
But the Raiders
responded with four
runs on four hits in the
fourth, before tacking
on five runs on five hits
in the fifth for the 12-1
advantage.
The contest was called
following the fifth inning
with the 10-run mercy
rule.
With the win, River
Valley completed the
season sweep of South
Gallia — and raised its
record to 4-12.
The Raiders’ only
other victories came
courtesy of a non-league
doubleheader over visiting Hannan in the season opener.
The Rebels, which fell
to River Valley 21-8 in
the two teams’ initial
meeting, dropped to
1-19.
The Raiders rapped
out 11 hits off a pair of
Rebel pitchers, paced by
Austin Ragan, who went
3-for-4 with three runs
scored and four runs batted in.
Ragan’s two-run single
to highlight the fourth
inning made it 7-1, as his
two-run home run in the
fifth forced the mercy
rule.
Devin McDonald and
Brycen Brumfield col-
lected two hits apiece,
as Tre Craycraft, Ian Polcyn, Wyatt Newman and
Bailey Rhodes recorded
the other four.
Newman, who drove
in three runs in addition
to pitching a completegame three-hit gem,
knocked a two-run double as part of the five-run
fifth.
McDonald, on the
only error of the game,
and Dustin Barber — on
a sacrifice bunt before
McDonald’s at-bat — batted in the opening two
runs.
Newman, in allowing
the earned run while
walking three and striking out four, saw the
minimum three in the
first —before facing four
Rebels apiece in the next
three frames.
Colton Coughenour,
with singles in the third
and fifth innings, led off
the game with a walk.
The only other Rebel
baserunners were a
one-out walk by Trey
Sanders in the second,
David Kuhn getting hit
by a pitch to lead off the
third, Bryan walking in
the fourth and Kuhn singling in the fifth.
Kuhn reached third
and Coughenour second in the inning, but

Always Dreaming wins Kentucky Derby in slop
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — A
trainer and jockey accustomed to
success.
A headstrong horse with a mind
of its own.
Together, they harnessed their
collective talents to win the Kentucky Derby.
Always Dreaming splashed
through the slop for a 2 3/4-length
victory Saturday, giving Todd
Pletcher and rider John Velazquez
their second victories in the race
but their first together.
The New York-based duo has
teamed up often over the years
and is the sport’s leading money
winners.
On their own, they were a
combined 2 for 63 coming into
America’s greatest race.
Joining forces, they were
unbeatable on a cool and rainy
day at Churchill Downs.
“We have had a great relationship for a long time now, and we
have won a lot of races together,”
Pletcher said. “This is the one we
wanted to win together.”
Sent off at 9-2 odds, Always
Dreaming made it the fifth
straight year that a Derby favorite
has won, equaling the longest
stretch since 1892-1896.
He was followed across the finish line by a pair of long shots:
33-1 Lookin At Lee and 40-1
Battle of Midway.
Always Dreaming ran 1 1/4
miles in 2:03.59 on the first offtrack since Orb won in 2013.
He paid $11.40, $7.20 and
$5.80.
“This is the best horse Todd
and I have ever come to the Kentucky Derby with,” Velazquez
said. “Being behind me for 24
years together, a long time for
him to still trust in me and give
me the opportunity, it’s not very
often it happens in this business.”
Lookin At Lee returned $26.60
and $18.20, while Battle of Midway was another five lengths back
in third and paid $20.80 to show.
Pletcher won his first Derby in
2010 with Super Saver; Velazquez
won the following year with Animal Kingdom.
Rarely one to show his emotions, Pletcher admitted being
teary-eyed behind his sunglasses.
Going into his 17th Derby,
Pletcher saddled the post-time
favorite for the first time.
Much had been made of his 1
for 45 Derby record.
“It’s becoming a little more
respectable now,” said Pletcher,
whose 48 starters tied D. Wayne
Lukas for the most in Derby history. “It felt like I really needed
that second one.”
Velazquez used his colt’s speed
out of the gate to get good position early in a chaotic start that
saw several horses, including
McCraken and Classic Empire,
banged around.
He steered Always Dreaming
into an ideal trip behind pacesetter State of Honor, with mud flying in all directions on a surface
that resembled creamy peanut
butter.
“We got wiped out at the start.
McCraken came and nearly
knocked us,” said Mark Casse,
who trains Classic Empire. “The
track is impossible.”
On the final turn, Always
Dreaming took command as State
of Honor faded.

Barnett advances to state tennis tourney
Lady Knights finish regionals with winning record
By Bryan Walters
bwalters@civitasmedia.com
LOGAN, W.Va. — For
the second time in three
years, the Point Pleasant
girls tennis team will have
a participant in the state
tournament after having
Bailey Barnett qualify
this past weekend at the
2017 Class AA-A Region
4 championships held at
Logan High School in
Logan County.
Barnett — a junior with
an 11-5 regular season
record — finished third
in second singles competition with a 2-1 mark
and earned a spot this
Thursday at the Charleston Catholic Athletic
Complex, which will host
the 2017 WVSSAC girls
tennis championships.
Barnett became the
first state qualifier for
the girls program since
Kelsey Allbright advanced
as a senior in 2015. Barnett is also the first nonsenior female from PPHS
to advance to state since
Taylor Somerville went as
a junior back in 2011.
Barnett entered the
regional tournament as
a three seed in second
singles, which earned her
a first round bye. Barnett
scored an 8-4 win over
Ravenswood in the second round, but dropped a
1-8 decision to Huntington St. Joe in her following match.
Barnett rebounded
nicely in the consolation
final with a resounding
8-2 win over Nitro, which
locked up third place and
a date in the state tournament.
The Lady Knights —
who ended the regular
season with an 8-7 mark
— finished the weekend
with an 8-7 overall record
between the seven regional events. PPHS also
has zero seniors on its
2017 roster and has been
without its top singles
player, junior McKenna
Bronosky, all year due to
an injury.
Junior Olivia Pyles
(6-9) started her day in
first singles well after
earning an 8-3 win over
Poca, but her season
LeBron James scores
35 points, Cavaliers
sweep Raptors
TORONTO (AP) — LeBron James and the
Cavaliers are headed back to a familiar place after
sweeping aside another overmatched opponent.
James scored 35 points, Kyrie Irving added 27
and Cleveland swept Toronto, beating the Raptors
109-102 on Sunday to give James his seventh consecutive trip to the Eastern Conference Finals.
“It’s rewarding when you can advance,” James
said. “It’s not just given to you, you have to go out
and earn it. Once again I’m part of a team that’s
been able to advance to the Eastern Conference
Finals. It’s going to be my ninth time in 14 years.
I’ll take those numbers.”
Kyle Korver scored 18 points to help the Cavaliers become the first team to win eight straight
playoff games the year following a title, and the
first team to win eight straight in consecutive
postseasons.
“The fact that we play our best basketball in the
postseason lets us know that we’re up for the challenge,” said James, who had nine rebounds and
six assists.
Channing Frye scored 10 points, and Irving had
nine assists for Cleveland.
The Cavs were 16 for 41 from 3-point range.
“When LeBron is shooting the 3 ball the way
he is, at the rate he’s shooting it, they’re difficult,”
Toronto coach Dwane Casey said. “It’s gong to
take a Herculean effort to beat them.”
The Cavs finished off the Raptors about an hour
before Game 4 between the Celtics and Wizards
tipped off in Washington.
That series won’t end until Wednesday night at
the earliest, and could run until Monday night,
meaning the Cavaliers will have plenty of time to
rest before the Eastern Conference Finals.
Asked to choose between the Celtics and Wizards, James claimed not to have a preferred opponent.
“It doesn’t matter to me,” he said. “I’m excited
about us getting an opportunity to represent our
franchise in the Eastern Conference Finals to go
play for the big one.”
Serge Ibaka scored 23 points, and DeMar DeRozan had 22 for Toronto.
The Raptors took their first fourth-quarter
lead of the series but couldn’t avoid their fourth
straight loss.
“We needed that, we needed to be tested
throughout 48-minute games,” Irving said. “One
of the hardest things to do is sweep teams. We
understand how important it is to come in and
get a win and get rest.”
Making his second start in place of injured
point guard Kyle Lowry, Cory Joseph had 20
points and 12 assists for Toronto, which lost in
six games against Cleveland last year in the Conference Finals.
P.J Tucker had 14 points and 12 assists in his
first career playoff start.
A 3 by Toronto’s Fred Van Vleet cut it to 87-86
at 9:51 of the fourth, but James answered with a
3.
Toronto kept it close, and took a 93-92 lead
when Ibaka converted a three-point play with 6:38
left.
Irving responded with a 3 and, following a
missed shot by DeRozan, added a pair of free
throws to put Cleveland up 97-92 at 5:54.
After a basket by Cory Joseph, Irving added
two more free throws and a layup, scoring all of
Cleveland’s points in an 11-2 run that gave the
Cavs a 103-95 edge with 4:00 remaining.
“We needed that spark,” James said. “We just
wanted to try to get defensive stops while he was
in the zone and we were able to do that.”
came to an end in the
next match after dropping
a 3-8 decision to Chapmanville.
Junior Danielle Marcum (8-7) went .500 in
third singles competition
after winning her first
match against Lincoln
County by an 8-1 count,
but Ravenswood ended
her season in the next
round with a 3-8 outcome.
Sophomore Sarah
Deem (12-3) had a first
round bye in fourth
singles as the second
seed, but Chapmanville
held her winless in the
regional tournament with
a 5-8 outcome in her only
match.
Pyles and Barnett (8-7)
claimed an 8-2 win over
Sherman in the opening
round of first doubles,
but were eliminated with
a 1-8 setback to Ravenswood in the second
round.
Marcum and Deem (105) earned a three seed
and a bye in a second
doubles, then defeated
Chapmanville 8-5 in the

second round. Marcum
and Deem, however, were
eliminated in the next
round by Ravenswood by
a 3-8 count.
Sophomores Kenlee
Bonecutter and Caroline
Foreman (11-4) earned
a four seed and a bye
in third doubles, then
posted wins over Scott
(8-1) and Chapmanville
(8-6) to reach the finals.
Winfield, however, ended
their state hopes with a
1-8 decision in the final
match.
Barnett is not the
only PPHS tennis player
advancing to state as
aophomore Dawson
Wilson won the Region
4 boys tournament in
third singles, making him
the first Black Knight to
head to state since Kylenn
Criste back in 2011.
The Barnett-Wilson
combo is also the first
Point Pleasant boy-girl
duo at state since Criste
and Somerville advanced
together six years ago
(2011).

Wilson advances to state tennis tourney
By Bryan Walters
bwalters@civitasmedia.com
LOGAN, W.Va. — For
the first time in six years,
the Point Pleasant boys
tennis team will have a
participant in the state
tournament after having
Dawson Wilson qualify
this past weekend at the
2017 Class AA-A Region
4 championships held at
Logan High School in
Logan County.
Wilson — a sophomore
with a 13-2 regular season record — won the
third singles competition
with a perfect 3-0 mark
while securing a spot this
Thursday at the Charleston Catholic Athletic
Complex, which will host
the 2017 WVSSAC boys
tennis championships.
Wilson became the
first state qualifier for
the boys program since
Kylenn Criste advanced
in both 2010 and 2011.
Wilson entered the
regional tournament
as the top seed in third
singles, which earned
him a first round bye.
Wilson went on to lose
only six games in three
matches, including an 8-1
victory over Winfield in
the finals.
The Black Knights —
who ended the regular
season with an 10-5 mark
— finished the weekend with a 7-6 overall
record between the seven
regional events. PPHS
had its best regular season since the 2010 campaign and has only one
senior on its 2017 roster.
Junior Bryce Tayengco

Point Pleasant sophomore Dawson Wilson hits a forehand volley during a March 21 girls tennis match
against Spring Valley at The Courts in Point Pleasant, W.Va.
(8-7 regular season)
entered tournament play
as the four seed in first
singles, which led to
an opening round bye.
Tayengco ultimately went
winless in the regional
after dropping his second
round match to Huntington Saint Joseph.
Freshman Dylan
Tayengco (6-4) won his
opening match against
St. Joe in second singles,
but finished the weekend

which led to an opening
round bye. McComas
won his second round
match against Nitro, but
dropped the next round’s
contest against Winfield.
The Tayengco brothers (9-6) won their first
doubles opening round
match against Sherman,
then dropped a second

Ravenswood.
McComas and Wilson
(11-4) entered tournament play as the three
seed in second doubles,

defeated Logan in the
second round, but was
eliminated by Ravenswood with the following
match.
Junior Nick Newell and
freshman Carson Chambers (10-5) dropped their

bles match to Winfield.
Newell and Chambers are
a pair of first-year players with the boys tennis
program.

Stenhouse scores 1st career Cup victory
TALLADEGA, Ala. (AP) — It’s
been a long journey for Ricky Stenhouse Jr. to make his way to victory
lane.
When he finally got there, in his
158th career NASCAR Cup start,
his team owner and famous girlfriend were waiting.
His father?
Well, he was a little late to the
party.
A last-lap pass of Kyle Busch in
overtime Sunday got Stenhouse
the win at Talladega, which was the
first for resurgent Roush Fenway
Racing since 2014.
Danica Patrick, who had wrecked
out of the race, was in street
clothes and able to lean into the car
to give her boyfriend a congratula-
tory kiss.
“Pulling into victory lane and seeing Jack and Danica standing there
together, they’re the same height, it
was super special,” he said. “She’s
been so supportive and knows how
hard that I’ve worked, and to have
her there was really awesome.”
Ricky Stenhouse Sr. needed a
police escort.
The elder Stenhouse tried to
climb a fence along the Talladega
backstretch and cross the track to
find his way to the celebration.
When that didn’t work, he began
running along a perimeter road.
Security picked him up, placed
him in a car and questioned him.
Finally vetted, he was driven to
victory lane to meet his son.
“My dad has done so much for
me in my career,” Stenhouse said.
“Everything that I’ve learned is
from him, and you know, making
sure that you have the right people
around you is one of the things that
he’s all about, making sure that you
have people that respect you, that
will do anything for you, and man,
he sacrificed a lot for me and my
career.
“Everything that I know about
racing I learned from him, and I’m
glad that he was able to be here in
Victory Lane.
It shouldn’t have gone any other
way for Stenhouse, a winner at
nearly every level who has struggled mightily in Cup because of
Roush’s rebuilding phase.
