Congressman Bill Johnson shakes hands with York Ingles, owner of the business destroyed in the May 16 fire in Middleport.

Johnson offers support in wake of fire
By Michael Hart
For the Daily Sentinel

MIDDLEPORT — Congressman Bill Johnson traveled to Meigs
County last week for a meeting
with community leaders to address
last month’s ﬁre in downtown
Middleport, as well as obstacles to
the village’s recovery.
The Ohio 6th Congressional District representative said he made
the trip “to see the extent of the
damage and discuss how my ofﬁce
could be of help.”
After a summary of the alleged
arson May 16 and consequences,
much of the discussion centered
on ﬂoodplain insurance regulations
and laws, and the complicating
effects on rebuilding.
A swath of local leadership
attended, including bank executives, Meigs government members
and Jay Edwards, candidate for
state representative of the 94th
District.
Johnson spoke positively of his
working relationship with the
group, saying, “I have known most
all of them at least ﬁve or six years
now.” Middleport Mayor Sandy
Iannarelli was also present in the
meeting.
“I contacted Sandy as soon as
I heard the news,” Johnson said,
alluding to a call he made the
morning after the blaze which
destroyed Ingles Carpet and Flooring and damaged surrounding businesses.
The only new acquaintance for
the congressman was York Ingles,
owner of that establishment. Ingles
faces a challenging path to restore

Reconstruction of damaged areas in Middleport was the focus of the meeting.

his business through federal rules
on ﬂoodplain insurance. Congressman Johnson has a stated opposition to the current legal situation,
which he views as both federal
overreach and bureaucratic ineffectiveness.
Speaking after the roundtable,
attorney Steve Story summarized
the issues for the Sentinel.
“Essentially, any repair or restoration that is 50 percent of the
property value forces you to move
the building out of the ﬂood plain”
or be faced with expensive and
mandatory insurance rates. Given
that almost the entirety of Middleport Village lies several feet within
in the Army Corps of Engineers’
designated ﬂood plain, “you have
to put your building on stilts or
most businesses cannot pay that
cost.
“Economic development is my
living. This is a big deal to the

area, so it’s just tremendous that
the congressman is listening, taking his time and working on this.”
Johnson co-sponsored House
Resolution 2901, which passed
the U.S. House of Representatives
unanimously in April. The bill
would allow private companies
to offer ﬂood insurance in zones
marked by the federal government
as special ﬂood hazards.
Currently, ﬂoodplain insurance
is only purchasable through the
Federal Emergency Management
Agency, which ties rates to the
appraised value of the insured
building or the outstanding balance of a loan for that building.
These premiums can be prohibitive for businesses in small communities, such as Ingles taking
on a large loan to rebuild. Johnson contends opening the market
to private insurers “will bring

Museum wants current Air Force One
DAYTON (AP) — The National
Museum of the U.S. Air Force in
southwest Ohio is looking to add
the current Air Force One to its
collection of historic presidential
planes.
A new $40.8 million hangar at
the museum near Dayton opens on
Wednesday and ofﬁcials say they’ve
designed the 224,000-square-foot
building with the idea of landing
the presidential aircraft, the Dayton Daily News reported.
“We made the doors wider on
purpose kind of thinking down
the road there’s a big airplane out

there that we want to get in here,”
museum historian Jeff Underwood
said.
Underwood said the facility has
a “pretty good shot” at landing one
of the two VC-25s — the designation given to the planes by the Air
Force.
“We have been making sure that
the secretary of the Air Force and
others in Congress and the press
understand how important it is to
add either one of those aircraft to
this great collection of presidential
aircraft we already have,” Underwood said. “It’s very important to

the museum because it continues the
story that we’ve already started.”
Richard Aboulaﬁa, a senior
aerospace analyst with the Virginiabased Teal Group, said adding the
current Air Force One would be a
deﬁnite draw for tourists and make
the area an “even bigger must-see”
for aviation buffs.
“I can’t really imagine many
other museums having the space,
or any other museum taking precedence for one,” he said.
The ﬁnal decision on the jets
won’t be made until the planes are
retired within a decade.

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court will
hear appeals from two African-American death-row
inmates in Texas, including one who argued his
sentence was based on his race.
The justices on Monday said they will review
death sentences for inmates Bobby Moore and
Duane Buck. Neither case poses a broad challenge
to the death penalty.
Moore was sentenced to death more than 35
years ago and says he is ineligible to be executed
because he is intellectually disabled.
A jury voted to sentence Buck to death after a
defense expert testiﬁed that black people were
more likely to commit violence. Buck’s lawyers have
fought for years to win a new sentencing hearing.
Buck came close to being executed in 2011,
before the justices stepped in with a last-minute
reprieve.
But the court later denied a full-blown review of
Buck’s case in 2014.
This time around, the appeal focuses on a claim
that Buck’s legal representation was constitutionally deﬁcient.
He was convicted of capital murder and sent to
death row for the slaying of his ex-girlfriend and
a man at her Houston apartment in July 1995.
During the punishment phase of Buck’s 1997 trial,
psychologist Walter Quijano testiﬁed under crossexamination by a Harris County prosecutor that
black people were more likely to commit violence.
Quijano, called as a defense witness, had testiﬁed
earlier that Buck’s personality and the nature of his
crime, committed during rage, indicated he would
be less of a future danger.
Buck’s case was among six in 2000 that then-Texas Attorney General John Cornyn, now a Republican U.S. senator, said needed to be reopened
because of racially charged statements made during
the trial sentencing phase. In the other ﬁve cases,
new punishment hearings were held and each convict again was sentenced to death.
The attorney general’s ofﬁce has said Buck’s case
was factually and legally different from the ﬁve others and that Buck’s trial lawyers ﬁrst elicited the
testimony from the psychologist. They also said the
racial reference was a small part of larger testimony
about prison populations.
Moore claims that Texas’ top criminal appeals
court is using outdated medical standards in evaluating whether he is eligible to be executed. Moore
says that Supreme Court decisions in 2002 and
2014 bar executing intellectually disabled inmates,
who are evaluated under current standards.
The court initially announced that it would consider a second issue raised by Moore, that executing him after he has lived under a death sentence
for so many years would inﬂict “needless pain and
suffering in violation of the Eighth Amendment.”
But the court said later Monday that it had made
a mistake and would not consider the length of
Moore’s time on death row.
The cases, Moore v. Texas, 15-797, and Buck v.
Stephens, 15-8049, will be argued in the fall.

Mandel’s site for reporting local spending data, but
more thorough state spending information already
was available. The budget ofﬁce’s site includes income
sources as well as expenditures.
On Monday, Mandel’s ofﬁce complimented the budget ofﬁce effort.
“We think it’s great more public ofﬁces are getting
involved with this transparency movement,” spokesman Chris Berry said. “As we have said in the past,
regardless of the ways that entities choose to shine
sunlight on spending, we applaud them.”

re-election in March.

Boeckmann had propositioned
them, taken nude photos or
engaged in other sexual behavior
when he was the city attorney in
the county seat of Wynne and a
deputy prosecuting attorney.
One man, identiﬁed only as
A.A. by the commission, reported
having a sexual relationship with
Boeckmann that started when A.A.
hired the judge as his personal
attorney. The relationship continued for more than a decade.
A.A. told investigators the judge
sometimes loaned him out to
friends for work to pay off A.A.’s
debts or in exchange for leniency.
Other defendants said A.A. put
them in touch with Boeckmann
and told them the nude photos
were an easy way to pay off court
ﬁnes.

THEIR VIEW

The dirtiest
divine sanctuary
The sanctuary in which I’ve experienced the
most divine bliss is landscaped with mud, ticks
and decaying leaves.
Pollen drifts across the rocky path that’s all but
impassable due to a fallen birch tree. Birds tweet
the hymns in this wilderness chapel — a woodpecker is rhythm-keeper and a crow
provides the baritone.
Each tree strives majestically
toward the heavens like a steeple,
each branch bowing in supplication
to the Source of all light. Sunlight
ﬂickers like a candle through the
trees, casting shadows onto the trail
and the underbrush.

even when my wallet is empty.
I imagine every form of creature — every insect
and plant — feels as welcome here as I do. This
immaculate, messy canopy of raw life doesn’t mind
my unshaven legs and muddy tennis shoes.
Judgement rests on my shoulders alone. Here
I ask myself if I’m living my highest truth, if I’m
inhaling gratitude and exhaling love. I wonder
if I respect all life and all people as much as this
enchanted cathedral seems to me.
A chipmunk takes its place on a boulder while
I ﬁnd my own pew on a log. I sit reverently awaiting the message I’m bound to hear in such a profundity of silence. The answers to my questions
stir deep within, and I feel pangs of remorse for
remembered shortcomings and surges of joy for
the successful completion of many of life’s lessons.
I listen to the stream gurgle and remember my
baptism. As I was being dunked into that cold
river water when I was seven, I wondered how
water could wash away anything other than the
dirt on my feet from running barefoot along the
riverbank.
Now, I understand that it can’t. It’s my intention
that matters. Mud could wash away my faults just
as well as a waterfall could. Absolution begins and
ends in my mind.
I sink my hands into the ground beneath me,
feeling the grass and the dirt between my ﬁngers,
thankful that before the ﬁrst stone church was
built, there was this — the exquisite sanctuary of
an ultimately forgiving Nature.

TODAY IN HISTORY...
Today is Tuesday, June
7, the 159th day of 2016.
There are 207 days left in
the year.
Today’s Highlight in
History:
On June 7, 1776, Richard Henry Lee of Virginia
offered a resolution to
the Continental Congress stating “That these
United Colonies are, and
of right ought to be, free
and independent States.”
On this date:
In 1654, King Louis
XIV, age 15, was crowned
in Rheims, 11 years after
the start of his reign.
In 1769, frontiersman
Daniel Boone ﬁrst began
to explore present-day
Kentucky.
In 1892, Homer Plessy,
a “Creole of color,” was
ﬁned for refusing to leave
a whites-only car of the
East Louisiana Railroad.

(Ruling on his case, the
U.S. Supreme Court
upheld “separate but
equal” racial segregation,
a concept it renounced in
1954.)
In 1929, the sovereign
state of Vatican City came
into existence as copies of
the Lateran Treaty were
exchanged in Rome.
In 1939, King George
VI and his wife, Queen
Elizabeth, arrived at Niagara Falls, New York, from
Canada on the ﬁrst visit
to the United States by a
reigning British monarch.
In 1942, the World War
II Battle of Midway ended
in a decisive victory for
American forces over the
Imperial Japanese.
In 1954, British mathematician, computer
pioneer and code breaker
Alan Turing died at age
41, an apparent suicide.

(Turing, convicted in
1952 of “gross indecency”
for a homosexual relationship, was pardoned in
2013.)

Warriors whip
Cavs 110-77
to take 2-0 lead
OAKLAND, Calif.
(AP) — Draymond Green
emphatically ﬂexed his
bulging biceps with big
plays on both ends of the
ﬂoor, and these Golden
State Warriors might just
be far too strong for the
Cleveland Cavaliers.
That repeat title Golden
State has spoken of since
the very start more than
eight months ago is suddenly two wins from
reality.
It will be the only way
the Warriors’ recordsetting season ends right.
For now, they sure seem
unstoppable.
Green had 28 points
with ﬁve 3-pointers, seven
rebounds and ﬁve assists,
while MVP Stephen Curry
scored 18 points despite
foul trouble, and Golden
State thoroughly overwhelmed Cleveland 11077 in Game 2 of the NBA
Finals on Sunday night.
“There’s no point in
celebrating or jumping up
and down saying, ‘Look
at us.’ We’re two games
away from winning a
championship, but we still
have to go out and get the
job done,” Curry said. “It’s
a trap to think that we’ve
ﬁgured things out, that we
have the perfect formula
to beat Cleveland and
they have no chance in
the series. That’s not how
we’re supposed to think.”
The 33-point win was
the Warriors’ most lopsided ever in a ﬁnals game
— and they have won the
ﬁrst two by a combined 48
points.
“They just beat us,”
LeBron James said. “We
didn’t win anything. No
points of the game did we
beat them in anything.”
Once the Splash Brothers found their shooting
touch, Cleveland couldn’t
keep up. Klay Thompson
got hot after halftime to
ﬁnish with 17 points as
Golden State became the
ﬁrst team to go ahead
2-0 in the ﬁnals since the
Lakers in 2009 against
Orlando.
Now, the series shifts to
Cleveland, and James and
the Cavs must show up for
Game 3 on Wednesday in
front of their title-starved
fans down 2-0 to the
defending champs and
with forward Kevin Love
dealing with a head injury.
“We’ve got to be tougher,” Cavs coach Tyronn
Lue said.
The NBA said Love
experienced dizziness
early in the second half
and left for the locker
room to be re-examined,
then was placed in the
NBA’s concussion protocol. He hadn’t exhibited
any symptoms before
then, even after taking
an elbow to the back of
the head from Harrison
Barnes in the second

quarter and going down
for several minutes before
returning following a timeout. He immediately made
a baseline 3-pointer for the
Cavs’ ﬁrst basket in nearly
5½ minutes.
After a scoreless ﬁrst
quarter when he missed
all ﬁve shots but had ﬁve
assists, James scored 14
of his 19 points in the
second and also ﬁnished
with nine assists and
eight rebounds, but seven
turnovers — and he took
the blame. James’ teams
had won nine straight
postseason Game 2s after
losing the series opener
dating back to a loss in the
2008 Eastern Conference
semiﬁnals to Boston.
“I’m deﬁnitely surprised
at the margin of victory
tonight,” Warriors coach
Steve Kerr said. “It happens in the NBA, sometimes things get away
from you. Sometimes
shots go in, sometimes
they don’t. … Everything
changes when we go to
Cleveland, we know that.”
After Curry and
Thompson combined for
only 20 points in Thursday’s 104-89 Game 1 win
on 8-for-27 shooting and
the bench carried the load,
they each hit four 3-pointers and went 13 for 24.
And Curry got a postgame
treat: He exchanged jerseys with Barcelona and
Brazil soccer star Neymar.
Green shot 11 for 20
and made 5 of 8 3-pointers, sparking a suggestion
he might apply to be a
Splash Brother alongside
fellow All-Stars Curry and
Thompson.
“Stop it,” Green said
with a chuckle.
“Tonight, he’s one of
us,” Thompson said.
The Warriors’ 87 victories matched the 1995-96
Chicago Bulls, the team
Golden State topped for
the most regular-season
victories in NBA history
with 73.
Andrew Bogut had
four of his ﬁve blocks —
Golden State had nine
overall — in the ﬁrst 7:15
and received a standing
ovation when he came out
with 3:50 left in the ﬁrst.
He went to the locker
room late in the quarter
after having hit his hand
on the rim early and grimacing in pain.
Green credited the
defense for holding down
James and Co.
While the outspoken
swingman insists he just
wants rings and isn’t yet
ready to consider the
Warriors among the best
of all time, the typically
quiet Thompson let loose
a little.
“We’re better than the
Showtime Lakers,” he
quipped, a friendly jab
at former power forward
father, Mychal.

Meigs freshman Kassidy Betzing (far right) placed seventh in Saturday’s Division II girls long jump at the annual state track and field
meet.

Betzing places 7th in long jump
By Paul Boggs
pboggs@civitasmedia.com

COLUMBUS — Before a thunderstorm rolled into the Ohio State
University campus on Saturday,
it was Meigs freshman Kassidy
Betzing taking — part of anyway
— the state track and ﬁeld meet by
storm.
And, do look beyond Betzing’s
self-described disappointment.
“I wanted a better performance
to be honest, but getting here was
pretty cool,” said Betzing. “I was
very, very nervous. But once I got
on the runway, I was okay.”
Her effort was more than just
okay.
In fact, considering it was her
ﬁrst of four possible state meets, it
was really good.
That’s because Betzing, the
only freshman in the ﬁeld for the
Division II girls long jump, placed
seventh in that event inside Jesse
Owens Memorial Stadium in
Columbus.
Betzing’s best jump was 17-feet,
two and three-fourths inches,
which she scored in her third and
ﬁnal preliminary jump to not only
advance to the ﬁnals, but also eventually land on the all-Ohio awards
podium.
She also overcame three fouls,
including her opening prelim jump
and her ﬁrst two jumps in the
ﬁnals.
Besides her podium-clinching
17-2 3/4, Betzing jumped 16-feet,
six and one-fourth inches on her
second prelim jump, followed by
her ﬁnal ﬁnals jump of 16-9 1/2.
Each of the 16 state jumpers had
three preliminary jumps, with the
top nine qualifying for the ﬁnals
for a maximum of six tries.
And, of those six attempts, the
greatest distance is scored for that
individual’s ﬁnal result.
The top eight placers in each
event at the state meet earn a
spot on the awards podium —and
automatic all-Ohio honors in the
process.
The Southeast District champion and regional runner-up with a
personal-best 17-feet, 10 and onequarter inches, Betzing believed
she should’ve done better on Saturday.
“I was deﬁnitely hoping for at
least a better jump in the ﬁnals, so
that was disappointing. The third
jump got me to ﬁnals, even though
it wasn’t my best jump. Everyone
was pretty proud of it I guess,” said
Betzing.
She guessed correct, as she had
a nice contingent of support clad in
Meigs Maroon and Gold.
“It’s (competing at state meet)
always exciting to do and it’s something we don’t get to see every
year. It’s once about every three,
four or ﬁve years we get somebody
up here (to state meet). And to see
a young lady like Kassidy, a freshman, do so well and get seventhplace and stand up on that podium
is really exciting,” said Meigs track
and ﬁeld coach Mike Kennedy. “We

Meigs freshman Kassidy Betzing competes in the Division II girls long jump as part of
Saturday’s state track and field meet at Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium in Columbus.

look forward to hopefully three
more years of this.”
Betzing beat out nine other
competitors, including eighthplace Emily Barney of Oak Harbor,
whom she edged by exactly half an
inch.
In fact, Barney’s only jump that
counted was her ﬁrst jump of the
three-jump prelims, as she fouled
on her ﬁnal ﬁve.
Betzing was the second jumper
of all 16, and needed the 17-2 3/4
to qualify for the ﬁnals.
Kennedy said the freshman
focused in after fouling on her initial attempt.
“I know she was upset about the
fouls, but I was very impressed
with her keeping her head together
in the preliminary jumps after that
ﬁrst foul. Every time she fouled,
she was over by just a smidgen. It
was really close,” said the coach.
“She was really consistent today.
She just needs a little more conﬁdence going through the next three
years. But she is a great jumper. It’s
gotta be hard to keep your focus,
but I thought she did a really nice
job.”
The ninth-place jumper was
Halie Sciury of Sandy Valley, who
was an inch-and-a-half (17-1 1/4)
shy of Betzing for that seventhplace spot.
In the ﬁnals, Sciury, Barney and
Betzing jumped as the ﬁrst three in
that order — and all three fouled
on their ﬁrst two leaps.
Sciury scored a 16-feet, eightinch jump on her ﬁnal try, which
clinched at least a podium spot for
Betzing.

Then, when Barney fouled for
the ﬁfth and ﬁnal time, Betzing
was assured no worse than seventh
— as she jumped 16-feet, nine and
one-half inches on her last jump.
Betzing had entered the competition with the fourth-best jump from
the four regional meets, as junior
Jamari McDavid of Springﬁeld
Kenton Ridge was only threefourths of an inch shy of hitting
19-feet.
The next-closest coming in was
sophomore Katelyn Meyer of Pemberville Eastwood, followed by the
Region 7 champion Elise Watts of
Steubenville at 18-1.
Watts was sixth in 17-5 1/4,
while Meyer was third at exactly
six inches longer (17-11 1/4).
McDavid and Ellie Ruby of
Wheelersburg were tied at 18-feet
and one-and-a-half inches, but
Ruby’s second-best jump was
exactly 18-feet for the championship tiebreaker.
That’s a distance Betzing
believes she can reach.
“I deﬁnitely want to place better
and I think jumping 18-feet is in
the range I can deﬁnitely do. If I
get a good jump, I can place really
well,” she said.
But, for her ﬁrst time on the biggest stage in the state on Saturday
— with three years remaining —
standing seventh on the podium
isn’t bad at all.
“It’s a great experience and actually pretty exciting. First year here.
Hopefully three more,” said Betzing.

Three from Ohio Valley compete in 800m runs
By Paul Boggs
pboggs@civitasmedia.com

COLUMBUS — Three
athletes from the Ohio Valley
Publishing area aimed to place
in the 800m run at Saturday’s
state track and ﬁeld meet.
Unfortunately, all three came
up short of placing in the top
eight — as two were repeat
runners of the state race, while
Eastern sophomore Jess Cook
was running half the distance
from a year ago.
Cook for the Division III
girls, Eastern junior Jett Facemyer for the Division III boys,
and Gallia Academy junior
Isaiah Lester in the Division
II boys all competed in the
challenging 800m ﬁnal — as
the two boys also ran the same
event last season.
While the boys did improve

their places by two spots
apiece, and their times, they
fell shy of all-Ohio honors
inside Jesse Owens Memorial
Stadium in Columbus.
The top eight placers in each
event at the state meet earn a
spot on the awards podium —
and automatic all-Ohio honors
in the process.
Lester completed the two-lap
run in a minute and 58 seconds
(1:58.69), ﬁnishing 13th in
Division II.
Facemyer ﬁnished in 1:59.10,
which was 12th in Division III.

four-lap 1,600m run as a freshman, was 16th of 16 in Division
III girls in 2:26.
Lester, last year, ran the
800m in two minutes and two
seconds and ﬁnished 15th —
while Facemyer ﬁnished 14th
last season in 2:02.54.

William McGirt
wins Memorial
DUBLIN (AP) —
William McGirt thought
he hit it big when he
won the Cabarrus
Classic and pocketed
$16,000, the secondlargest prize on the Tar
Heel Tour.
That was in 2007,
and it felt like a lifetime
ago compared with the
perks from winning the
Memorial on Sunday.
The victory was
worth $1.53 million and
a three-year exemption
for a guy who once
dreamed of simply having a PGA Tour card.
Waiting to congratulate him was tournament host Jack Nicklaus, who raved about
the bunker shot on the
18th hole that kept
McGirt in the playoff
at Muirﬁeld Village,
and the ﬂop shot from
behind the 18th green
that led to a 6-foot putt
and his ﬁrst PGA Tour
victory in his 165th
try.
U.S. Open qualifying?
Take the day off.

McGirt moves up to
No. 43 in the world and
was assured a spot in
his ﬁrst national championship.
“It will all sink in at
some point,” McGirt
said.
This was a long time
coming.
McGirt couldn’t
count all the mini-tours
he played and the selfdoubts he ignored,
including a four-month
stretch in which he only
saw his wife for four
days. But on Sunday
against the strongest
ﬁeld of the year for
a regular PGA Tour
event, McGirt made
his ﬁrst victory one to
remember.
He played the ﬁnal
22 holes at Muirﬁeld
Village without a
bogey. His ﬁnal par
in regulation was the
most important, a twoputt from 65 feet for a
1-under 71 that allowed
him to join Jon Curran (70) in a playoff at
15-under 273.

Overcoming Your Credit Card Crisis
The battle with credit card debt can
be a constant struggle against high
interest rates and monthly payments
that never seem to make a dent in
what you owe. How is it possible to
make monthly credit card payments
and never get anywhere?
This problem is caused by high
interest rates that eats up most of
your payments. Even though you
make your minimum payment,
you don’t make much headway
eliminating the debt.
Luckily, there’s a way to find debt
relief without incurring more
debts. Using certified credit
counseling like Consolidated
Credit, you can get professional

advice to identify the right solution for your needs.
A certified credit counselor
can review your options to
see which solution is best for
you. You can qualify for lower
interest rates or even eliminate
them, while consolidating your
credit card debt into one easy
payment to get you out of debt
faster. Every financial institution differs, but most people see
a reduction of total payments
by up to 30-50% as they pay off
debt faster.

Freedom from debt can
become a reality!

Lester ran the same time
(1:58) this season as his
regional third-place time, while
Facemyer ﬁnished fourth in the
regional — and was the only
of the 16 state qualiﬁers not
entering at under two minutes.
For Facemyer, he would
have needed to run a 1:57.59
to place, as Eastwood’s Logan
Baugher was eighth.
Lester would have needed
a minute and 56 seconds, for
Fairview’s Paul Miles managed
an eighth-place 1:56.04.
Cook, a member of Eastern’s
state-qualifying 4x800m relay
team as a freshman, needed to
run better than two minutes
and 17 seconds to place.
This was her ﬁrst appearance
at the state meet in the 800m
run.

Wahama repeats as Class A champions
White Falcons rally past
Wheeling Central, 5-4
By Bryan Walters
bwalters@civitasmedia.com

CHARLESTON, W.Va.
— Some things are worth
the wait.
In a baseball game that
technically lasted more
than seven hours from
warm-ups to ﬁnish, Wahama managed to secure
the program’s fourth state
championship Saturday
following an inspired
5-4 victory over Wheeling Central Catholic in
the 2016 Class A ﬁnal at
Appalachian Power Park
in Kanawha County.
The White Falcons
(22-11) overcame every
drop of adversity throw
their way, which included
a pair of lightning-ﬁlled
downpours and a threerun deﬁcit through four
innings of play.
WHS, however, managed to plate two runs
in the top of the ﬁfth
to close to within a run
(4-3) before the second
rain storm postponed
things with one out in the
home half of the ﬁfth.
When the Maroon
Knights (18-10) returned
to the plate following
a two-hour delay, they
never produced another
baserunner as Wahama
starter Mason Hicks
found his second wind as
the senior recorded half
of his six strikeouts while
retiring the ﬁnal 10 batters he faced.
Then in the top half
of the sixth, the White
Falcons made a charge
for the history books as
Philip Hoffman started
the inning with a leadoff
single to left.
Hoffman advanced to
second on a bobbled third
strike, then the junior
moved over to third
on a two-out error that
allowed Jared Oliver to
reach safely — giving the
guests a pair of runners
on the corners.
With seven-hole hitter
Dalton Kearns headed to
the plate, Oliver intentionally got caught up in
a rundown between ﬁrst
and second.
As Wheeling Central
reliever Tyler Riedel
stepped off the mound
and threw to second,
Hoffman took off in a
full sprint for home. The
relay throw home was
wide of its target, allowing Hoffman’s head-ﬁrst
slide to tie the game at
four.
As the dust settled,
Oliver had moved over to
third and Kearns ﬁnally
got his chance at the
plate. The sophomore

responded with the gamewinning RBI after belting
a single to the left ﬁeld
gap to plate Oliver, making it a 5-4 contest midway through the sixth.
Neither squad produced a hit over the
next inning and a half,
with Wheeling Central’s
ﬁnal chance coming up
short as Anthony Gentile
grounded into a 5-3 putout. WHS senior Ryan
Thomas’ throw to classmate Tyler Grimm was
on target — allowing the
Red and White to begin
their triumphant celebration.
Wahama — which also
won the 2015 Class A
championship — earned
the school’s ﬁrst ever
back-to-back state titles in
any sport. The White Falcons also won the 1996
and 1998 Class A crowns
in baseball.
After a thrilling end to
an emotional 2016 campaign, WHS coach Tom
Cullen just spoke about
the joy — and the relief
— of winding up back on
top of the Class A mountain.
“This is a big thing
for the people in the
Bend Area,” Cullen said.
“We have great support
throughout the season
and our fans really love
these kids, watching this
team play. In turn, these
kids really love playing
and representing this
community.
“I love them and I’m
proud of them for what
they endured today to
win. These kids have
been through a lot of
tests since winning state
last year. They talked at
the beginning of the year
about leaving their mark,
their legacy. Now they
have accomplished their
goal.”
Both teams had ﬁnished inﬁeld practice and
were prepared to take
the ﬁeld at 1:30 p.m.,
but a weather bulletin
was issued that called for
strong winds, possible
hail, heavy rain and lightning within the next 30
minutes. Ofﬁcials decided
to delay the start due
to the threat and called
for the inﬁeld tarp to be
rolled out.
After the rains stopped
and the ﬁeld was deemed
playable over three hours
later, the ofﬁcial ﬁrst
pitch of the Class A title
game came at 4:45 p.m.
Neither team scored in
the opening frame.

blood in the top of the
second as Tyler Grimm

led things off with a
single to left, then David
Hendrick entered as a
courtesy runner.
Hendrick advanced to
second on a sacriﬁce bunt
by Hicks, then Dalton
Kearns delivered a twoout double to left that
plated Hendrick — making it a 1-0 contest.
The Maroon Knights
answered in the home
half of the third as Kevin
Keane and Isaac Rine
received back-to-back
leadoff walks, then Gentile added a one-out single that loaded the bases.
Hicks uncorked a wild
pitch that allowed Keane
to score as both Rine
and Gentile moved up a
base, making it a one-all
contest.
Wahama, however,
dodged a bullet as Hoffman made a sensational
grab at shortstop on a
line drive off the bat of
Brian Campbell. Hoffman
got up and quickly ﬁred
back to second baseman
Dalton Kearns to doubleup Gentile while also ending the threat.
Wheeling Central, however, struck a big blow in
the bottom of the fourth
as Zach McAbee delivered a one-out single,
then Deevon Standwich
entered as a courtesy runner.
Standwich advanced
to second on a single by
Patrick Brown, then both
runners moved up a base
on a passed ball. Keane
followed with a two-out
single that plated Standwich, giving the hosts a
2-1 advantage.
Rine followed with an
RBI single that allowed
Brown to score as Keane
also advanced to third.
Keane later scored on a
balk after initially trying
to steal home, giving
WCCHS a sizable 4-1
edge through four complete.
The White Falcons
responded in the top of
the ﬁfth as Oliver led the
frame off with a single,

Saturday’s Class A state championship victory over Wheeling Central Catholic at Appalachian Power
Park in Charleston, W.Va.

then Ricky Kearns legged
out an inﬁeld hit — putting runners at ﬁrst and
second with two away.
Colton Arrington followed with a full count
double to the left-center
ﬁeld gap, allowing both
Oliver and Kearns to
score as the guests cut
the deﬁcit down to a run
at 4-3.
The second weatherrelated postponement
occurred just before 6
p.m., and play ultimately
resumed just minutes
before 8 p.m. Overall,
the actual duration of the
seven-inning affair lasted
only 1:48.
Hicks — who was the
winning pitcher for a
second straight year in
the Class A title game
— surrendered four
earned runs, seven hits,
two walks and hit a batter through four innings
of work, then recorded
his third strikeout of the
game just before the game
was suspended in the bottom of the ﬁfth.
After a nearly two-hour
layoff, Hicks seemed
stronger than ever when
he returned to the mound
— striking out three of
the ﬁnal eight batters he
faced while not allowing a
single baserunner.
When asked if the
delay helped his cause,
he noted that it had more
to do with personal pride
and belief than anything
Mother Nature could
concoct.
He also couldn’t help
but smile when referencing that his ﬁnal start
with the White Falcons
resulted in another championship banner.
“I can’t say that a rain
delay ever helps. With
two rain delays today,
it was an odd championship game,” Hicks
said. “With however
many hours that ended
up being, and that was
crazy, you just have
to try and stay loose
and persevere and get
through it. Fortunately,
we were able to do all of
those things today.
“It’s just a great feeling

to be state champs, and
it means a little more to
be part of the ﬁrst backto-back championship at
Wahama. To bring another title to this school and
this community, it’s just a
great way to go out.”
Both teams had seven
hits apiece, with Wheeling Central committing
the only two errors in
the contest. The Maroon
Knights stranded ﬁve
runners on base, while
the guests left only three
on the bags.
Riedel took the loss for
Wheeling Central after
surrendering two earned
runs, two hits and a walk
over 2.1 frames of relief
while striking out three.
McAbee started for the
hosts, allowing three
earned runs and ﬁve hits
over 4.2 innings while
fanning three.
Dalton Kearns led
WHS with two hits,
followed by Arrington,
Hoffman, Grimm, Oliver
and Ricky Kearns with a
safety apiece.
Arrington and Dalton
Kearns each drove in
two runs, while Oliver
scored a team-high two
runs. Hoffman, Hendrick
and Ricky Kearns also
crossed home plate one
time apiece.
Gentile led the Maroon
Knights with two hits,
followed by Rine, Campbell, McAbee, Brown
and Keane with a safety
apiece.
Keane scored a teambests two runs, Standwich and Brown also
scored a run apiece. Rine
and Keane each knocked
in a run during the setback.
Wahama is now 10-3
all-time in state tournament baseball contests,
which also includes a
current eight-game winning streak. The White
Falcons appeared in their
ﬁrst state tournament
in 1969 and were state
runners-up in both 1978
and 1988.
Philip Hoffman, Colton
Arrington and Tyler
Grimm were chosen on
behalf of Wahama as rep-

resenatives on the Class
A all-tournament team.
Brian Shaw, Brian
Campbell and Isaac Rine
were all-tournament
selections on behalf
of Wheeling Central.
Addison Rexrode, Logan
Cooper and Luke Cooper
were chosen on behalf of
Pendleton County, while
Jake Adkins was Man’s
lone all-tournament
selection.
It was the ﬁnal baseball
game for seniors Jared
Nutter, Ian Hook, Mason
Hicks, Ryan Thomas,
Ricky Kearns and Tyler
Grimm in Wahama uniforms.
The White Falcons’
remaining 2016 roster
included juniors Philip
Hoffman, Nyles Riggs,
Wyatt Edwards and Jared
Oliver; sophomores
Colton Arrington, Dalton Kearns, Anthony
Ortiz and Cass Kimes;
and freshmen Antonio
Serevicz, Jacob Fisher,
David Hendrick and
Jonathan Frye.
The White Falcons
defeated Hannan (15-1),
Calhoun County (11-1),
Calhoun County (6-0),
Charleston Catholic
(3-0), Gilmer County
(7-0) and Man (3-0) en
route to the Class A state
ﬁnal.
Jefferson repeated as
Class AAA champions
after defeating Nitro by
an 11-2 count in the ﬁnal
championship game Saturday, while Bridgeport
three-peated as Class AA
champs by posting a 9-4
win over PikeView in the
opening game Saturday.
All three 2016 state
champions won their
respective titles a year
ago, making it the ﬁrst
time in WVSSAC history
that all three state championships went to the
same schools in consecutive years.
Wahama’s contest
against Wheeling Central
was the only state ﬁnal
that endured a weatherrelated delay of any kind.
