Meigs High School.

like that of any other teenager’s: graduate high school, go to college, begin

Soulsby, Shull’s grandmother, the love

UK police: 19 confirmed dead in explosion
By Gregory Katz
Associated Press

LONDON — An
explosion struck an
Ariana Grande concert
in northern England
late Monday, killing
at least 19 people and
injuring dozens in
what police say they
are treating as a terrorist attack.
Greater Manchester
Police said 19 people
were conﬁrmed dead
and roughly 50 were
injured by the explosion at Manchester
Arena. Emergency
vehicles were helping
the injured and bomb
disposal units were
later seen outside the
venue.
There was mass
panic after the explosion at the end of the
concert, which was
part of Grande’s The
Dangerous Woman
Tour. The singer was
not injured, according
to a representative.
Britain’s terrorist threat level has
been set at “severe”
in recent years indicating an attack is
highly likely. Police
said the explosion is
being judged a terrorist attack unless new
information proves
otherwise.

Police work at Manchester Arena after reports of an explosion at the venue during an Ariana
Grande concert Monday in Manchester, England. Several people have died, police said. A
representative said the singer was not injured.

Witnesses reported
hearing two loud
bangs coming from
near the arena’s bars at
about 10:35 p.m. but
there were few further
details.
“A huge bomblike bang went off

Added Oliver Jones,

around the foyer of
the arena and people
started to run.”
Video from inside
the arena showed concertgoers screaming as
they made their way

balloons.
Police advised the
public to avoid the area
around the Manchester

station near the arena,
Victoria Station, was

THEIR VIEW

Should we wish
for a President
Mike Pence?
By Doyle McManus
Contributing columnist

President Mike Pence? The question is way ahead
of where we are. There’s no solid reason to expect
that President Trump will leave ofﬁce before his term
is done, whether by resignation, impeachment or the
untried mechanism of the 25th amendment.
But that hasn’t stopped anyone from talking about
it — from Republicans wistful for the days of a functional White House to Democrats trying to guess
which unpalatable future would be worse for their battered party.
And the answer should be straightforward. Pence
would be an improvement on grounds of simple competence. He would make the country safer. Under a
President Pence, Americans would have less cause to
fear that a blundering president might lead us into war
with North Korea or Iran.
Progressives would ﬁnd almost nothing to like in
Pence’s domestic policies. There’s no sugarcoating
that. He would be the most conservative president
of modern times — easily more conservative than
Trump, more even than Ronald Reagan, the right’s
patron saint.
His economic views are in line with orthodox
Republicanism: lower taxes, smaller government,
fewer regulations. Pence’s positions on social issues
spring from Christian conservatism: He’s ﬁercely
opposed to abortion, gay marriage and almost any
expansion of rights for gays, lesbians and transgender
people.
Despite all that, unlike the president, he has read the
Constitution and understands its meaning. He would
be less likely than Trump to try to pressure the FBI to
drop an investigation, to take one example.
He has even defended freedom of the press. He was
co-author of a bill to protect journalists from being
compelled to identify their sources, and he founded a
bipartisan press freedom caucus — along with, of all
people, Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Glendale), now one of
the top congressional investigators pursuing Trump.
“He’s a person of real integrity,” said Rick Boucher,
a former House member from Virginia who was the
Democratic co-author of the bill to shield journalists.
“He’s very conservative, especially on social issues. But
he does have respect on the other side of the aisle. He’s
very serious about public policy, and willing to work
with Democrats where there’s common purpose.”
(That doesn’t mean Boucher is ready to endorse
his old colleague for president. “I was a strong Obama
supporter,” he said. “I won’t sleep easy until there’s a
Democrat in the White House.”)
To be sure, Pence already has questions to answer
about his short tenure as vice president.
After Trump ﬁred FBI Director James B. Comey,
Pence vigorously parroted the White House’s initial
explanation that Comey was cashiered based on a
recommendation from the Justice Department. That
wasn’t true — and Pence may have known it wasn’t
true at the time.
Pence has also maintained that he didn’t know
Trump’s ﬁrst national security advisor, Michael T.
Flynn, was under investigation by the FBI when he
was appointed. That denial may turn out to be true.
Even though Pence was formally the chairman of
Trump’s transition, he wasn’t in the president-elect’s
inner circle when the initial stafﬁng decisions were
made. There’s plenty of evidence that even now,
Trump aides spend much of their time hiding important facts from each other.
In any case, the FBI’s investigation of Flynn is likely
to bring any discrepancies to light. (In which case:
President Paul Ryan? That’s a matter for another column.)
As a matter of pure politics, it’s impossible to predict whether a President Pence could improve GOP
prospects in the 2018 congressional election or win
re-election himself in 2020.
But Pence represents a slice of his own party, the
social conservative right, which has never won a
presidential nomination, let alone a general election.
(George W. Bush ran with their support, as did Mitt
Romney, but neither was as rooted among social conservatives as Pence.) He’d have a lot of work to expand
his appeal beyond the GOP base, to attract independent Trump loyalists who might blame him for their
man’s downfall, or spurn him as the kind of establishment politician they abhor.
And, if he were to become president, he’d come
under immediate pressure from those Trump loyalists
to pardon his predecessor for any crimes committed
in ofﬁce or during the campaign. The last time that
happened, when Gerald Ford pardoned Richard M.
Nixon in 1974, it left the new president vulnerable to a
Democratic challenger.
It’s tempting, of course, for partisan Democrats to
say: Let Republicans continue to struggle in the mess
Trump makes. Why give them a chance to right their
ship? The worse the better.
But that ignores the risks that would come from
allowing Trump to continue exercising the powers of
the presidency in both law enforcement and foreign
policy. For the next three years, given the limited alternatives, I’d opt for President Pence — the sooner the
better.

Kyle Busch
scores $1
million with
All-Star
race victory
CONCORD, N.C.
(AP) — In a race built
on brave, bold moments,
Kyle Busch used one to
win NASCAR’s annual
All-Star race and its $1
million prize.
Busch used an aggressive three-wide pass for
the lead Saturday night to
take the All-Star event for
the ﬁrst time.
“It was now or never,”
Busch said.
Although the race does
not count in the standings, it was Busch’s ﬁrst
Cup victory of the season
and ﬁrst at Charlotte
Motor Speedway.
Busch also won the
Truck Series race Friday
night, but the victory Saturday was the ﬁrst time
he’s ever been to victory
lane at Charlotte in a Cup
car.
His winning ways in
lower divisions often
gives fans a sour taste,
but Busch was cheered as
he excitedly pumped the
checkered ﬂag.
“I think they were just
glad to see a new winner,”
he joked.
Busch dove low around
Brad Keselowski and
Jimmie Johnson on the
restart to take the lead on
the ﬁnal 10-lap sprint.
This year’s format pitted 10 drivers against
each other for 10 ﬁnal
laps with the money on
the line.
“I wouldn’t take anyone
else but Kyle Busch on a
restart,” said crew chief
Adam Stevens.
Clean air was the difference and Busch was
untouchable once out
front.
“We have never won in
Charlotte in a Cup car and
we ﬁnally did that,” Busch
said from victory lane.
“We won a million dollars.
There is reason to celebrate big. We are relieved,
eluded and excited.”
Kyle Larson, winner of
the ﬁrst two 20-lap segments and the clear car to
beat, ﬁnished second.
He was stymied by a
slow ﬁnal pit stop that
prevented him from
restarting as the leader.
“My pit crew has been
awesome all year. We
came down pit road the
leader and three people
passed up. That was
pretty much the difference,” Larson said. “With
10 laps, track position is
huge and we just didn’t
have it at the end. We had
the best car out there for
sure.”
He was highly disappointed and said ﬁnished
second “sucks (expletive).”

By Alex Hawley

LONDONDERRY, Ohio —
For the ﬁfth straight season
and the sixth time in the last
seven years, the Eastern girls
track and ﬁeld team is district

The Lady Eagles claimed

a total of 91.5 to win the Division III Southeast District

Meanwhile, Nelsonville-York

in one individual event, as she
claimed second in the 1600m
run with a time of 5:36.90. As
a freshman Durst also qualiﬁed

White Falcons finish 22nd at Class A meet
Kearns 4th in 800; Lady Falcons go scoreless
By Bryan Walters
bwalters@civitasmedia.com

CHARLESTON, W.Va. — For better or
for worse, things remained the same for
Wahama.
The White Falcons scored at least one
point for the sixth straight year and the
Lady Falcons came up empty for the
fourth consecutive postseason following the conclusion of the 2017 WVSSAC
Class A track and ﬁeld championships on
Saturday at Laidley Field.
Both programs went scoreless in the
opening round of events on Friday, but
the White Falcons mustered their only
points of the weekend early Saturday as
senior Travis Kearns came away with a
podium ﬁnish in the 800m ﬁnal.
Kearns’ time of 2:05.66 was good
enough for fourth place, which accounted
for all four of Wahama’s points in the
boys competition — keeping a streak that
started in 2012 intact. Kearns was also

tet of points — ﬁnished the state meet in
22nd place out of 26 scoring teams. St.
Marys (105) edged Williamstown (99) by
six points for the Class A team crown.
Wahama entered the boys state tournament with 11 athletes competing in 14
different events, but the Red and White
struggled as only four of the 14 competitions resulted in better times or distances
than the Class A Region 4 qualifying
marks a week earlier.
The White Falcons had only one other
legitimate shot at points, which came in
the form of sophomore Brodee Howard
in the 110m high hurdles. Howard qualiﬁed for the ﬁnals with a sixth-best time of
17.10 seconds, but did not compete in the
ﬁnals after suffering a false start — leaving him last in the ﬁnal eight standings.
Brady Bumgarner ended up 11th in
the 200m dash (24.33) and was also 12th
in the 100m dash (12.07), while Wyatt
Edwards ﬁnished 13th in the discus ﬁnal
with a throw of 120 feet, 1 inch. Mason
Hildreth was also 14th in the 3200m run
with a mark of 10:57.51.

Busch
From page 6

Johnson won the second
segment to advance, but
let the win get away on the
restart for the ﬁnale.
“I drove too hard,” Johnson said. “I saw a million
dollars out the windshield
and I drove too hard.”
NASCAR, Charlotte track
president Marcus Smith
and Goodyear ofﬁcials
hoped the introduction of
a “bonus tire” would liven
the race.
The idea was that the
softer tire — which was
faster — could be used
once at any time during the
race.
Ryan Blaney and Daniel
Suarez, who both raced
their way into the event in
an earlier qualiﬁer Saturday,
along with Chase Elliott,
winner of the fan vote, all
opened the race with the
softer tires.
It made little difference
as the ﬁrst segment was
more like a 20-lap parade,
with little action and Larson leading ﬂag to ﬂag.
The mandatory pit stops
after the segment were a
disaster for Matt Kenseth,
who developed an oil leak
and went to the garage.
Martin Truex Jr. was
among the ﬁve drivers who
took the softer tires on the
pit stop, but a penalty by
his team sent him to the
rear of the ﬁeld for the start
of segment two.
The softer tires had minimum inﬂuence, and no one
had anything for Larson
anyway.
He again led the entire
segment, then took his
softer tires for the third segment.
Larson wasn’t the leader
at the start of the second
segment because Clint
Bowyer and Blaney took
only two tires on the pit
stop to jump to the lead.
Bowyer’s was a gamble

because he had the softer
tires on his car already, and
the rule required that all
four softer tires be put on
the car at once.
In making just a two-tire
stop, Bowyer found himself
with a pair of primary tires
and a pair of soft tires.
NASCAR had to decide if
that was legal, which it was
because Bowyer had placed
the four soft tires on at the
same time.
“I read the entry blanks
and everything before I
got here, and it’s not in
there,” said crew chief Mike
Bugarewicz.
The move didn’t work
and Bowyer plunged into
the ﬁeld, and he failed
to advance into the ﬁnal
round.
Blaney couldn’t hold the
lead either and Johnson
won the stage to earn the
automatic berth into the
ﬁnale.
Meanwhile, Keselowski
had planned to use the
softer tires in the third
segment, but developed a
vibration during the caution
period.
His team took the tires
off, intending to use them
in the ﬁnal segment, but
NASCAR refused.
The tires had to be brand
new when put on the car,
and NASCAR ruled that
even used only under caution, the tires were no longer allowed.
Larson and Johnson
locked in the ﬁrst two
spots in the ﬁnale as stage
winners, and Busch, Kevin
Harvick, Kurt Busch, Jamie
McMurray, Denny Hamlin,
Keselowski, Elliott and Joey
Logano rounded out the
ﬁnal 10.
They earned the spots
based on average ﬁnishing
position.
Johnson won the race off
pit, Keselowski stayed out
on old tires, and Kyle Busch
pounced on the restart.
No driver in the ﬁnal segment used the softer tires.

Lady Knights 5th at Class AA meet
Hayman wins shot put, discus;
Knights miss podium
By Bryan Walters
bwalters@civitasmedia.com

CHARLESTON, W.Va.
— It was a historic
weekend for Point Pleasant track and ﬁeld … all
the way around.
Streaks both continued and ended, including state titles, following
the conclusion of the
2017 WVSSAC Class
AA championships held
Saturday at Laidley Field
on the campus of the
University of Charleston.
PPHS had a total of
22 athletes — 13 girls
and nine boys — competing in 21 combined
events over the twoday event, but only the
Lady Knights managed
to come away with any
points as the Black
Knights did not have a
top-six effort in any of
their nine events.
The Point Pleasant
girls, however, came
away with two state
titles and a ﬁfth-place
ﬁnish with 26.5 points.
It was the Lady Knights’
highest point tally since
the 2012 campaign (31)
and it was also the ﬁrst
time since 2008 that the
girls came away with an
individual state champion.
The Lady Knights also
scored at least one point
at the state tournament
for a 14th consecutive
year, dating back to a
scoreless 2003 state
meet. The ﬁfth place ﬁnish on Saturday was also
the highest team placement at a state tournament since the current
scoring streak started in
2004.
Senior Aislyn Hayman
gave the PPHS program
a state champion for the
ﬁfth time in six years, as
well as a second straight
year, after winning both
the shot put (40-11.5)
and discus (133-0) ﬁnals
on Friday.
Hayman snapped a
nine-year drought for
the Lady Knights, who
hadn’t had a state champion since the duo of
Alea Hipes and Mallory
Nowlin each won gold
in 2008. Hayman also
became the ﬁrst female
dual-champion in Point
Pleasant history.
Hayman accounted for
20 of the Lady Knights’
team points, while fresh-

man Sami Saunders
came up with the other
6.5 points.
Saunders joined Winﬁeld’s Avory Albert in
a third place tie in the
pole vault (9-0) ﬁnal,
then tied Hayley Willey
of Robert C. Byrd for
ﬁfth in the high jump
ﬁnal (5-0).
Senior Morgan Roush
— despite a personalbest effort — just
missed the podium in
the discus event after
ﬁnishing seventh overall
with a heave of 102 feet,
8 inches.
The 4x100m relay
squad of Ashley Staats,
Madison Hatﬁeld, Sydnee Moore and Teagan
Hay placed eighth with
a time of 53.17 seconds,
while Staats, Hatﬁeld,
Moore and Allison
Henderson put together
a 10th-place effort of
1:54.16 in the 4x200m
relay.
The quartet of Henderson, Morgan Miller,
Lexi Watkins-Lovejoy
and Cierra Beatty ended
up 10th in the 4x800m
relay with a mark of
10:48.44, while Moore,
Hatﬁeld, Henderson and
Miller placed 12th in
the 4x400m relay with a
time of 4:26.70.
Hatﬁeld ﬁnished 11th
in the 400m dash with
a ﬁnal mark of 1:02.93,
while Grace Allensworth
was 13th in the shot put
with a heave of 29 feet,
9.5 inches. Ariat Rollins
also participated in the
pole vault ﬁnal, but the
sophomore did not clear
a qualifying height.
Of the dozen state
events that the Lady
Knights competed in,
seven of those ended up
having better times or
distances than the qualifying marks from the
Class AA Region 4 tournament a week before.
Only two of the 13
Lady Knights that
qualiﬁed for state are
seniors. Both Hayman
and Roush, however,
a four-year state qualiﬁers and have 12 state
tournament appearances
between them.
The Winﬁeld girls —
who won half of their
eight state titles in relay
events — came away
with the Class AA title
after scoring 148 points,
ﬁnishing just ahead of

runner-up Bridgeport
(137). A total of 25 girls
teams scored at least
one point in the Class
AA meet.
BHS won six Class
AA girls titles and Point
also had its pair of wins,
while Berkeley Springs
and Roane County also
came away a state title
apiece.
Bridgeport senior
McKenna Smith came
away with the high-point
scorer award in Class
AA after tallying a perfect 40 points following
victories in the 300m
hurdles, as well as the
100m, 200m and 400m
dashes.
On the boys side of
the Class AA tournament, the Black Knights
had a 14-year scoring
streak snapped — dating
back to a scoreless 2002
state tournament at the
triple-A level.
Despite that misfortune, the Red and Black
still had better times or
distances in ﬁve of their
nine events this past
weekend — in comparison to their Region 4
qualifying efforts.
Sophomore Luke Wilson just missed top-six
ﬁnishes in two events
after ﬁnishing seventh
in the 3200m (10:11.92)
and eighth in the 1600m
(4:39.82) ﬁnals.
Freshman Steven
Trent also just missed
the mark after placing
seventh in the pole vault
with a cleared height of
10 feet, 6 inches. Trent
tied the sixth place
ﬁnisher, but dropped to
seventh based on tiebreakers.
The quartet of Justin
Brumﬁeld, Cason Payne,
Justin Staats and Keshawn Stover placed 10th
in the 4x100m relay with
a time of 45.66 seconds,
while Payne, Trent, Stover and Jared Icenhower
were 15th in the 4x400m
relay with a mark of

3:49.59.
Icenhower, Wyatt
Dean, Brady Adkins
and Peyton Hughes
also ﬁnished 16th in the
4x800m relay with a
mark of 9:59.65.
Jesse Gleason was
11th in the shot put (423.25) and did not have
a qualifying throw in
the discus ﬁnal. Eddie
Mayes was also 13th
in the shot put with
a heave of 39 feet, 6
inches.
All nine of Point Pleasant’s state qualiﬁers on
the boys side are underclassmen.
The Winﬁeld boys
won the Class AA title
with 77 points, while
Bridgeport was the runner-up with 59 points. A
total of 26 teams scored
at least one points in the
Class AA meet.
Winﬁeld, Weir, Keyser, Berkeley Springs,
Blueﬁeld, East Fairmont
and Poca all came away
with two individual
state titles apiece, while
Clay County, Grafton,
Nitro and Roane County
each won one individual
championship.
Winﬁeld sophomore
Aaron Withrow was the
top-point scorer in the
Class AA boys tournament with 27.5 points.
Withrow won the 1600m
and 3200m runs, placed
third in the 800m run,
and was also part of the
third place 4x800m relay
team for the Generals.

Top dollar: Browns sign Garrett, 1st overall pick
CLEVELAND (AP)
— Myles Garrett’s ﬁrst
sack as a pro is ﬁlled with
money.
The No. 1 overall pick
in last month’s NFL
draft, Garrett signed his
four-year rookie contract with the Cleveland
Browns, who gave the
speedy defensive end an
estimated $30.4 million
package that includes a
$20.3 million guaranteed
signing bonus.
One week after displaying his dazzling skills at
the team’s rookie minicamp, Garrett got the
business side of things
out of the way by signing
his deal Friday.
The Browns posted
a video on Twitter of
the former Texas A&amp;M
All-American ﬁlling out
the contract’s paperwork
while Seal’s “Kiss From A
Rose” played in the background.
The Browns are counting on Garrett, whose
outside interests include
writing poetry and paleontology, to energize
their turnaround.
Cleveland went 1-15
last season, has had just

two winnings seasons
since its 1999 expansion
reboot and hasn’t been to
the playoffs in 15 years.
Blessed with a running back’s burst, Garrett
recorded 32½ sacks in
three seasons for the
Aggies.
He was limited by a
sprained ankle last season but still played at a
dominant level, and the
Browns didn’t pass up
the chance to take him in
a draft loaded with defensive talent.
Garrett was impressive
during the club’s rookie
minicamp, showing off
his ability to blow past
blockers and pressure
quarterbacks.
“Did you see that guy
come off the edge that
one time?” coach Hue
Jackson said following a
practice. “Holy smokes.
Oh my gosh. The guy
has ﬂashed and shown
exactly why he was
drafted where he was
drafted. What we have to
do is continue to let him
be who he is and play the
way we think he can. It is
exciting to see. I haven’t
been around a lot of guys

like him. It is fun.”
Garrett has also displayed an easygoing personality and eagerness to
succeed.
He knows there are
high expectations as the
ﬁrst overall pick, but he
isn’t hiding from them.
“I’m not worried about
what people expect from
me or what they think I
am going to do,” Garrett
said. “My expectations
are deﬁnitely higher than
what most others have
for me. I hold myself to
that every single time I
step on the ﬁeld, whether
I’m going against whoever is out there for
rookie camp or if I am
going against the very
best or if I am just trying
to learn the playbook or
just being a great man in
general.”
Garrett caused a
stir shortly after being
drafted when he said he
was targeting Pittsburgh
quarterback Ben Roethlisberger for his ﬁrst sack.
The Browns open next
season against the Steelers, their longtime rival
who has overpowered
Cleveland in recent years.

And while Garrett’s
comments could fuel the
Steelers, he didn’t backtrack on his remarks.
“I think that was kind
of blown up, but I stand
by it,” Garrett said. “We
are looking to get after
it. Why should I be afraid
of saying those kinds of
things? That is what any
team would say or any
player would say. You are
trying to make a name for
yourself. You are trying
to go out there and win
games just like they are.
They are not going to shy
away from the challenge
and neither are we.”
Not long after Garrett’s
deal was ﬁnalized, the
Browns signed rookie
defensive tackle Caleb
Brantley, a sixth-round
pick.
Brantley arrived in
Cleveland with a battery complaint hanging
over him, but earlier
this week, prosecutors
in Florida dismissed his
case, saying there was
“no reliable evidence
upon which an arrest or
prosecution would be
warranted or legally justiﬁed.”

Celtic pride: Bradley’s
last-second shot
stuns Cavs 111-108
CLEVELAND (AP) — Leprechauns are imaginary.
Celtic pride is very real.
Avery Bradley’s 3-pointer danced on the rim and
dropped with less than a second left and Boston,
blown out in the ﬁrst two games of the Eastern Conference ﬁnals and playing without star Isaiah Thomas,
stunned the Cleveland Cavaliers 111-108 on Sunday
night in Game 3 to end the champions’ 13-game postseason winning streak.
Bradley’s shot from the left wing — off a play
designed by coach Brad Stevens — bounced on the
rim four times before going down.
It capped a furious, focused comeback by the Celtics, who trailed by 21 in the third quarter before rallying to tighten up a series that appeared to be over.
“We have guys who have chips on their shoulders,”
Stevens said. “We knew that Friday (Game 2) was a
disaster. It wasn’t worth all four. It was worth one. So
we got back together.”
Smart, who started in place of Thomas, made seven
3-pointers and scored 27 points, and Bradley had 20
for the Celtics, who were given little chance after losing by 44 in Game 2 and then losing Thomas for the
rest of the postseason because of a hip injury.
“Everybody had to step up their game tonight especially with one of our brothers down,” Smart said.
“Our love and support goes out to Isaiah. We wish he
could be here but we understand. We just kept ﬁghting. Everybody did their part.”
Kyrie Irving scored 29 points, and Kevin Love had
28 for Cleveland.
The Cavaliers dropped to 10-1 in the postseason
with their ﬁrst loss since Game 4 of last year’s Finals.
Game 4 is Tuesday night in Cleveland.
LeBron James had one of the worst games of his
postseason career, ﬁnishing with 11 points and six
turnovers.
On his way to the postgame news conference, the
superstar got into an exchange with a fan who heckled him about his rough night.
“I didn’t have it,” said James. “You let a team like
that grab momentum you almost knew a shot like that
was going in.”
Despite James’ struggles, the Cavs led 77-56 in the
third quarter after making 14 3-pointers in the ﬁrst
half.
But Cleveland got complacent, Smart got hot and
the Celtics, who arrived at Quicken Loans Arena on
Sunday morning for their shootaround without Thomas and looking somewhat defeated, never gave up.
“We decided were going to go out and play hard,
swinging.” Bradley said. “We never counted ourselves
out.”
The Celtics tied the Cavs at 95-all on Smart’s
3-pointer and then matched the James and Co. basket for basket in the ﬁnal minutes in one of the most
entertaining games of what has been a mostly boring
postseason.
Boston’s Jonas Jerebko’s baseline jumper put the
Celtics ahead 108-106 with 30 seconds left before
Irving scored on a drive to tie it with 10.7 seconds
left.
Following a timeout, the Celtics perfectly executed
a play drawn up by Stevens and worked the ball to
Bradley, who found himself open and then calmly
knocked down a shot that goes straight into Celtics
lore.
For Cleveland, the loss was a wake-up call on their
march toward a possible third straight Finals and a
seemingly inevitable rematch with Golden State.
The Cavs had been playing a gloriﬁed game of
H.O.R.S.E. with the Warriors, who were undefeated
and could complete a sweep of San Antonio on Monday night.
“I’m kind of glad it happened the way it did,”
James said. “We have to play a lot better. “I feel some

Wilcoxon, for the past
two years, won the sectional doubles title and
automatically qualiﬁed
for the Division II district

A year ago, the Wilcoxons won their initial district bout but lost in three
sets in the semiﬁnals
— but bounced back to
claim the third-place tilt
and automatically punch
their tickets to the state.
Like he has in his ﬁrst
two seasons at Gallia

singles competition prior
to tournament play.

He was the Blue
Devils’ second singles
player, while Velasco — a
ﬁrst-year GAHS studentathlete — starred at ﬁrst
singles.
The district meet
featured four sectional
winners from the East

Southeast District.
For Pierce, he has now
been part of an amazing

He and Velasco will
