Bill Johnson on Monday afternoon.

POMEROY — Representatives from the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers Huntington District and the Village of
Pomeroy met with Congressman Bill Johnson on Monday
afternoon, discussing the
riverbank stabilization project
currently taking place in the
village.
At this time, work is happening on the base project
which includes the upper parking lot area and the riverbank

area across from Francis Florist. Funding is also secured
for what is called option one,
which is the riverbank in the
area of village hall.
Work is taking place and is
on schedule Mike Spoor, who
has been with the Corps of
Engineers 55 years, told those
in attendance at the meeting.
Pomeroy Mayor Don Anderson asked about the possibility of the construction crews
working on the weekends if
weather permits, which Spoor
stated could be a possibility in
order to meet the completion

date.
Capt. Nolan Love, who is
the project manager, estimated
that the base project could be
completed in late April with
the overall work to be done
around August for the base
project and both options.
Capt. Love advised that option
two is not as urgent a matter
as the base project and option
one, but that the area would
need action taken in tow to
four years if not completed
now.

BUCKEYE STATE NEWS

Ohio hospital system could
lose Medicare funding
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — An Ohio hospital
system where 34 patients died after a doctor
ordered excessive doses of a powerful painkiller
could lose Medicare funding
unless it proves it can correct deﬁciencies in its pharmaceutical services.
The Columbus Dispatch
reports the Centers for
Medicare and Medicaid
Services notiﬁed Columbusbased Mount Carmel Health
that Medicare will stop paying for care at two hospitals
where the deaths occurred
unless the system quickly submits a plan that
meets the agency’s approval.
A Mount Carmel spokeswoman says the system is cooperating with the agency, the state
Department of Health and other regulators.
Mount Carmel is under investigation after
Dr. William Husel ordered excessive doses of
fentanyl from 2015 through late last year. Husel
was ﬁred in December and nearly two dozen
employees have been placed on leave.

2 companies refused
flight before fatal crash
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A newspaper
reports two air-medical companies opted not to
accept an assignment to transport a patient over
concerns about the weather before a helicopter
owned by a third medevac company crashed in
southern Ohio, killing the pilot and two ﬂight
nurses.
The Columbus Dispatch reports West Virginia-based HealthNet Aeromedical Services and
Columbus-based MedFlight were contacted
Tuesday morning to transport a patient from a
medical center in Pomeroy to a Columbus hospital.
A Survival Flight helicopter crashed around
7 a.m. Tuesday in state forestland in Vinton
County.
MedFlight’s president and CEO told the
newspaper that conditions on Tuesday didn’t
meet the company’s minimum standards to ﬂy.
HealthNet Aeromedical said atmospheric conditions fell below “published operational weather
minimums.”
The crash killed pilot Jennifer Topper and
nurses Bradley Haynes and Rachel Cunningham.

Active-duty military
admitted free to museum
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Active-duty
military members have free admission to the
nation’s veterans museum in Ohio this year.
The National Veterans Memorial and Museum
said in a recent release that philanthropic units
of the American Legion Department of Ohio
Charities, the Ohio Department of AMVETS
Service Foundation and Veterans of Foreign
Wars Ohio Charities are funding admission
and parking for active-duty military members
through Dec. 31. The free admission to the
museum and memorial in Columbus began Feb.
1.
Tickets for military veterans are complimentary every day and funded through additional
partnerships.
The $82 million, 53,000-square-foot museum
opened to the public in October. The attraction
is neither a war memorial nor a traditional military museum but emphasizes experiences that
veterans share.
Future plans call for an interactive, virtual
tour experience among other additions.

Ohio drops company
accused of rigging contracts
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — State ofﬁcials in
Ohio say a contractor accused of scheming to rig
over-priced state contracts is no longer working
for Ohio.
Department of Administrative Services spokesman Tom Hoyt said Tuesday that Stonyhurst
Consulting’s work for the state has concluded. The
Columbus Dispatch reports the department also
is reviewing possibly disbarring Stonyhurst from
future contract work — as suggested by Inspector
General Randall Meyer in his recently released
investigative report.
Stonyhurst co-owner Steven Zielenski declined
to comment to the newspaper. A man answering
the phone Sunday at Stonyhurst said the company
declined to comment.
Meyer’s report accused an Advocate Solutions
employee of colluding with an ofﬁcial and employees from the Virginia-based Stonyhurst to ensure
that Stonyhurst received two state contracts.
Columbus-based Advocate Solutions says it ﬁred
the employee for unethical behavior.

Project
From page 1

Option two is currently
where the delay could be
for the project.
As of right now, the
real estate has not been
secured for the project
as the owner of the
property is unknown.
Anderson stated that the
village solicitor has been
working to research the
property, but that it is a
lengthy process.
Congressman Johnson
asked about the possibility of speeding up the
process and what could
be done to help with the
acquisition of the property. Johnson asked to have
a call with the solicitor at
a future time to see what
he and his ofﬁce could do
to help.
In addition to the real
estate concerns, there is
the issue of funding for
the additional area.
Since the project estimates were set and the
grant funding secured
additional damage has
been done to the riverbank from the ﬂooding
and high water in 2018
which resulted in changes
to the amount of rock
needed for the project.
The additional rock
added to the cost of the
project.
While the Corps of
Engineers has been able
to secure the needed
federal funding for
option two, which is the
area near Fox’s Pizza,
the village will need an
additional $140,000 by
the end of May for their
match on the project.
This is in addition to the
$623,000 in grant funding
and a $50,000 loan which
the village has taken out.
By federal law, stated
Capt. Love, the village
must have a 35 percent
match of funds for the
project. The match can
come from grants or
other non-federal funding.

2019 Faith &amp; Family
Faith and Family is a project designed to reach out to
people in need and at the same time reach out to the
community with a message of hope. We want to form
a stronger alliance with the church community and do
more meaningful job of helping local churches spread
their message to people who are looking for answers and
inspiration. We need your help to do this.

Pomeroy Village officials and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
representatives met with Congressman Bill Johnson on Monday
afternoon.

Johnson asked about
the possibility of additional grant funding, but
Anderson stated that the
timing of the funding
would not match up with
the end of May deadline
under the current project
contract. If the project
were to go beyond that
date then there is the risk
of increased cost of having to rebid the contract.
Anderson stated that
Buckeye Hills, which has
been assisting with the
project, would not know
about possible funding
until closer to the end of
the ﬁscal year in late September.
Anderson told Johnson
that the village cannot
afford to take out a loan
for the amount unless the
grant funding is in place
to reimburse it.
Johnson asked his local
representative Juli Stephens to set up a meeting

with all of the possible
grant funding agencies,
as well as State Rep. Jay
Edwards and State Senator Frank Hoagland to
discuss the possibility
of ﬁnding the needed
funding. Anderson stated
that Edwards is aware
of the situation and has
been exploring funding
options.
“There has to be
somewhere we can ﬁnd
$200,000,” said Johnson.
Johnson stated that if
the entire project was not
completed now then there
would be the danger of
having to start over with
the federal funding and
getting on the priority list
once again.
The Congressman also
expressed concern that
if the work was not done
now, and the road were to
become damaged, what
the impact could be to the
village of Pomeroy.

We will publish an inspirational full color magazine that we have entitled Faith and Family. This publication,
with your help, will list all our churches and carry a message of hope. As your local newspaper we want
to use our resources to help get your message to those in need. The magazine will carry profiles of local
churches and testimonials from local readers who have experienced a change in life as the result of their
faith and beliefs. These stories can be a powerful influence in raising the consonances of the reader looking
for answers and in need of a church to help heal. This publication will also increase the strength and unity
among the local church community.

Arboretums
are day trips
for gardeners
One big challenge for gardeners is to visualize
how plants will look when they grow up. Having a
good mental picture of a mature perennial, shrub
or tree helps you plant it in the right
spot. Seeing mature landscapes in
every season also helps you ﬁnd
new and interesting plants for your
own garden. Simply looking at your
neighbor’s yards won’t show you a
big enough variety.
That’s why it’s so interesting
Steve
and helpful to visit arboretums and
Boehme
botanical gardens. An arboretum

columnist
variety of plants is installed for
educational purposes. You can see
what trees and shrubs look like when they grow
up, and visualize which plants would be the best
for your own landscape. Each plant is labeled, and
combined with other plants that go well together.
Arboretums and show gardens make great
day trips, and there are quite a few good ones in
southwest Ohio. Here are some favorites:
Spring Grove Cemetery: In addition to being
a resting place for the departed, Spring Grove
Cemetery in Cincinnati is a world-class arboretum
with over 1,200 ﬂowering trees and shrubs. The
many ponds throughout the grounds are beautiful
places to linger at any time of year. Take an hour
and drive through Spring Grove next time you’re
in Cincinnati. Admission is free, and you can see
quite a bit without ever leaving the comfort of
your car. http://www.springgrove.org
Cincinnati Zoo &amp; Botanical Gardens: During
the summer months, when their impressive show
gardens are at their peak, there is a massive display of color throughout the Zoo grounds. Annual
ﬂowers and grasses, perennials, trees and shrubs
are combined in imaginative ways. The displays
serve as a real-life test garden where ﬂowers are
evaluated for performance and ease of maintenance.
Every year the Zoo plants over 20,000 annual
bedding plants in order to test new varieties.
Plants are labeled so you can learn as you explore.
There are many interesting grasses, mature
shrubs, a butterﬂy garden, a Japanese shade
garden, a mature Bamboo grove and other exhibits. Hardscape walls and pavers, water features,
decks, fences and bridges set off the plants. Moving water is everywhere, and lots of shady spots
to relax and cool off. The parking areas feature
drought-tolerant landscape plantings. http://cincinnatizoo.org/horticulture/
Mount Airy Forest: The nation’s largest municipal park, Mount Airy has more than one million
trees across approximately 1,500 acres. The
grounds include rolling hills, valleys, streams, gardens, woods and wildlife, and display magnolias,
azaleas, lilacs, dwarf conifers, rhododendrons and
perennial gardens. Reﬂecting the style of Frank
Lloyd Wright, the park buildings include picnic
shelters and a handicapped accessible treehouse.
www.cincinnatiparks.com/mt-airy-forest
Chadwick Arboretum: On the OSU campus in
Columbus, Chadwick Arboretum features a mix
of constant color throughout the year. OSU has
a trial garden for annual ﬂowers, which sorts the
really good annual ﬂowers from the merely average. There is a vegetable garden designed for
handicapped access and horticultural therapy.
Other projects include a “green roof”,
literally a rooftop garden providing live insulation winter and summer. Nearby Lane Avenue
Gardens is an extensive tree planting with a
“labyrinth”; a paved walk similar to a maze but
with no wrong turns or dead ends. Arboretum
North across the street is the newest section,
and features sixty varieties of willow. It is known
for good bird-watching despite its location in the
heart of Columbus. www.chadwickarboretum.osu.
edu.
Dawes Arboretum: Begun in 1929, this 1800
acre Columbus arboretum is a showcase of plant
collections and educational experiences, including
a cypress swamp, Japanese Bonsai Garden, crabapples, conifers, oaks, azaleas and hollies. Drive
the ﬁve-mile auto route or walk more than eight
miles of hiking trails. www.dawesarb.org
Cox Arboretum: With 189 acres of gardens and
nature, Cox Arboretum in Dayton is a hands-on
adventure in horticulture. Highlights include The
Edible Landscape garden, Butterﬂy Meadow and
House, Shrub Garden with more than 500 different trees &amp; shrubs, Water Garden &amp; Rock Garden, Wildﬂower Garden, and 3.5 miles of walking
trails. www.metroparks.org/Parks/CoxArboretum

Go for your dreams
I recently read a book
written by Richard
Branson. He is the man
behind the ‘Virgin’ brand
and an adventurous person. He wrote “Ideas can
be dazzling, indeﬁnable,
and mysterious; they can
strike at any moment
and change the world.
But they only change
the world if they can be
honed down into something understandable,
relatable, and deﬁnable –
without losing that little
piece of magic that made
them a great idea in the
ﬁrst place. They need the
right setting, the right
timing and the right
people to turn them into
reality.”
This struck me. Ideas
are very much like goals.
That is what he means
when he says they need
to be honed down. Our
goals must be relatable,
or we must know how

Members of the River Valley wrestling team pose for a picture after winning the
Division III Region 22 team championship on Saturday at Nelsonville-York High
School in Nelsonville, Ohio.

NELSONVILLE, Ohio —
That’s quite a ﬁrst impression.
In its ﬁrst season with a full
roster, the River Valley wrestling team made a bold statement after winning the Division III, Region 22 team title
on Saturday at Nelsonville-York
High School in Athens County.
The Raiders — who started
the head-to-head event ranked
ﬁfth in the 15-team ﬁeld —

posted a perfect 4-0 mark as
a team while accumulating a
36-20 record individually.
The Silver and Black had a
pair of comfortable victories
over 12th ranked Trimble (6021) and 13th ranked Alexander
(60-18) in the opening rounds,
then held off ninth ranked
Amanda Clearcreek in the
semiﬁnals by a 43-31 margin.
In the Region 22 championship dual, the Raiders joined
third ranked Bishop Hartley in
winning seven of the 14 indi-

vidual weight classes — but
River Valley ultimately claimed
the regional crown with a 42-36
decision.
In winning the Region 22
title, the Silver and Black are
now headed to Columbus next
weekend to compete for the
OHSAA Division III championship at St. John’s Arena.

Huck, this accomplishment was

Marauders fall at
Chillicothe after
surge, 71-59
By Alex Hawley
ahawley@aimmediamidwest.com

CHILLICOTHE, Ohio — Just too little, too
late.
The Meigs boys basketball team surged for 27
points over the ﬁnal eight minutes of Saturday’s
non-conference game in Ross County, but host
Chillicothe held on for a 71-59 victory.
Meigs (9-9) trailed by a 19-to-11 clip eight
minutes into play, and the Cavaliers stretched
their lead to 37-19 by halftime. A 20-to-13 third
quarter run made the CHS advantage 57-32 with
eight minutes to play.
The Marauders’ last-ditch effort included ﬁve
three-pointers, but Chillicothe scored 14 points
and sealed the 71-59 win.
The Maroon and Gold made 23-of-52 (44.2
percent) ﬁeld goal attempts, including 6-of-14
(42.9 percent) from three-point range. Meigs
shot 7-of-11 (63.6 percent) from the foul line,
where Chillicothe was 11-of-18 (77.8 percent).
The Marauders combined for 14 defensive
rebounds, ﬁve offensive boards, 10 assists, three
steals and one blocked shot, while turning the
ball over six times.
Weston Baer led the guests with 20 points and
three assists, sinking a team-best three triples.
Zach Bartrum and Nick Lilly scored 11 points
apiece, with Lilly pulling in a team-high nine
rebounds.
Cooper Darst and Bobby Musser both contributed six points to the Marauder cause, Coulter
Cleland added three points, while Wyatt Hoover
chipped in with one.
Leading the MHS defense, Cleland, Zach
Bartrum and Ty Bartrum each had a steal, while
Musser rejected a shot.
Brandon Noel paced the victors with 24
points, followed by Tre Beard and Jayvon
Maughmer with 22 each. Vincent Roper rounded
out the winning tally with three points.
Meigs will be back in its home court against
non-conference guest Marietta on Tuesday.

POINT PLEASANT,
W.Va. — Momentum
simply didn’t matter.
The Point Pleasant
boys basketball team
snapped its six-game losing skid on Saturday in
‘The Dungeon’, defeating
non-conference guest
Southern by a 62-45
count to end the Tornadoes’ three-game winning streak.
The Big Blacks (3-12)
hit a quartet of threepointers in the opening
ﬁve minutes of play,
charging out to a 16-4
lead. Southern (9-8) held
PPHS off the board for
the last three minutes
of the ﬁrst quarter, and
hit a trifecta to trim the
hosts’ lead to 16-7.
Point Pleasant opened
the second quarter with
a two-pointer, but the
Tornadoes claimed the
next 10 markers, cutting
the margin to 18-17.
After another PPHS
bucket, Southern went
on a 6-0 run and led
23-20 with 3:15 left in
the half.
The hosts were back in
front after back-to-back
ﬁeld goals, but Southern
scored the ﬁnal three
points of the half and
headed into the break
with a 26-24 advantage.
Point Pleasant scored
the ﬁrst four points
of the second half and
never trailed again. The
Tornadoes tied the game
at 28 with 5:16 left in the
third, but went scoreless
for the next ﬁve minutes, as the Big Blacks
stretched their lead to
33-28.
Southern was back
to within a single point

with 40 seconds left
in the third, but PPHS
drained a three-pointer
and ended the quarter
with a 36-32 lead.
A 9-to-2 spurt to start
the ﬁnale gave the hosts
a double-digit lead with
5:30 remaining. From
there, Point Pleasant’s
lead grew as high as 20
and never dipped below
nine. PPHS claimed
eight steals, forced a
dozen turnovers and
sank 12-of-17 free throws
in the fourth quarter,
sealing the 62-45 win.
Following the contest,
PPHS head coach Josh
Williams talked about
a recent team meeting,
and credited his role
players and defense for
the victory.
“We had a meeting
with them the other
day, we really haven’t
gotten to practice with
the weather, so we just
sat down and discussed
our strengths and roles
on this team,” said Williams. “They bought in

Jovone Johnson had his
thumbprint all over the
game, loose balls, deﬂections, rebounds, offensive boards. He’s not the
greatest scorer, but he
knows what he’s doing,
he kicked a few offensive
boards out for some
timely threes.
“Defensively, I thought
we played with a lot
more energy, got back
to pressuring the wings
and putting a little more
ball pressure. I thought
they had a little bit
more bounce in their
step tonight, and they
were focused. Hat’s off
to them, I’m very proud,

they played very well.”
Conversely, SHS head
coach Jeff Caldwell felt
the Tornadoes played
differently on Saturday
than they had in their
previous seven games, of
which they had won six.
“What we’ve done here
in the last few weeks to
start playing better basketball, tonight we just
went away from it and
we didn’t play very well,”
said Caldwell. “Credit
goes to Point Pleasant,
they came with energy
and hit open shots when
we gave them open
shots. We’ll go back
to the drawing board.
Sometimes you need
to be humbled a little
bit I guess, and tonight
we got humbled. We’ll
go back to work and
get ready for Tuesday’s
game.”
For the game, Point
Pleasant made 19-of-50
(38 percent) ﬁeld goal
attempts, including 8-of-

25 (32 percent) threepoint tries, while Southern was 16-of-50 (32
percent) from the ﬁeld,
including 2-of-16 (12.5
percent) from three-point
range. At the foul line,
PPHS was 16-of-23 (69.6
percent) and SHS was
11-of-17 (64.7 percent).
The guests won the
rebounding battle by a
35-to-30 clip, including
11-to-9 on the offensive
end, but the Tornadoes
turned the ball over 23
times, eight more than
Point Pleasant. The Big
Blacks combined for 15
steals, 12 assists and one
blocked shot, while the
Purple and Gold came
up with 12 assists, nine
steals and a trio of rejections.
Point Pleasant was
led by Hunter Bush with
26 points, featuring ﬁve
triples, a pair of twopointers and 7-of-9 free

Reliable as ever,
Patriots’ Edelman
wins Super Bowl MVP

Blue Devils sweep River Valley

ATLANTA (AP) — Julian Edelman was forced
to watch only as a spectator as his disappointed
New England Patriots teammates trudged off the
ﬁeld a year ago as Super Bowl losers.
Catch after catch in this one, Tom Brady’s favorite wide receiver helped make them winners again.
“It’s pretty surreal,” Edelman said, shaking his
head. “Tough times don’t last, tough people do. I
preach that, and, I guess you have to live to it.”
Edelman certainly did Sunday night, earning
Super Bowl MVP honors with 10 receptions for
141 yards while helping lift the Patriots to a 13-3
victory over the Los Angeles Rams.
“My name was called,” he said. “I was asked to
make a couple plays and we were able to do that.”
Edelman and Brady made one ﬁnal connection
— at midﬁeld with confetti ﬂying around them.
They embraced for several moments — eyes ﬁlled
with the tears of champions.
“The hug was just two Bay Area boys that love
football, love to compete and are living out our
dreams,” Edelman said before taking a second to
clarify one small detail.

CENTENARY, Ohio — The gap
closed, but the result stayed the
same.
Visiting River Valley kept things
competitive for 16 minutes, but an
18-8 third quarter surge ultimately
allowed the Gallia Academy boys
basketball team to pull away for a
53-37 victory on Saturday night in
a non-conference battle between
Gallia County programs.
The Raiders (2-15) stormed out
to an early 12-7 edge, but the host
Blue Devils (10-7) countered with
an 8-2 run over the ﬁnal three
minutes to secure a slim 15-14
advantage through eight minutes
of play.
The Blue and White ultimately
never trailed again and made a
quick 7-2 surge at the start of the
second frame for a 22-16 lead, but
RVHS answered with four straight
points to close the deﬁcit back
down to a single possession.
GAHS, however, responded with
a pivotal 5-0 run over the ﬁnal
three-plus minutes that provided
some breathing room headed into
halftime with a 27-20 cushion.
The Blue Devils rode that
momentum into the third frame
as the hosts netted 8-of-15 shot
attempts as part of an 18-8 charge
that ballooned the lead out to
45-28. The Silver and Black ended
regulation with a 9-8 spurt to
wrap up the 16-point outcome.
Gallia Academy claimed a
season sweep of the Raiders
after posting a 91-39 decision in
Bidwell back on Dec. 4, 2018.
GAHS coach Gary Harrison was
pleased to see his troops pull away
late and snap a three-game losing
skid, but the sixth-year frontman was also impressed with the
amount of improvement that River
Valley has made since the ﬁrst
matchup.
“I’ll tell you that I am really
impressed with the job that
Coach Bostic has done at River
Valley since the ﬁrst time we
played them. They are so much
better as a basketball team from
two months ago,” Harrison said.
“Honestly, we needed this one
after dropping three in a row …
and they made us work for every
single drop of this victory.
“The third quarter has been our
best quarter this year. I knew if
we could get some stops and pick
up the pace, we could open things
up a little bit. Our kids responded
and gave a good effort throughout.

Gallia Academy senior Blaine Carter (11) releases a shot attempt over River Valley
defender Jordan Lambert (20) during the first half of Saturday night’s boys basketball
contest in Centenary, Ohio.

It’s a good win.”
The Raiders — who have now
dropped six straight — had a
much better start of things Saturday than they did 24 hours earlier
at Southern, when they trailed by
20 points at the break.
All things considered, outside
of the ﬁnal result, ﬁrst-year RVHS
coach Brett Bostic was mostly
pleased with his troops at the end
of the night.
“Given that it was a county
rivalry and we were playing the
back end of consecutive road
games, I thought the kids came
out and showed a lot of heart and
effort at the start. We competed
from the start, and I was proud of
them for that,” Bostic said. “We
made a few tired mistakes there in
the third and Gallia Academy sped
us up a little bit, and it got away
from us after that. I will tell you
what I told the kids though. I was
very proud of their effort.”
Gallia Academy outrebounded
the guests by a 29-15 overall margin, including a 14-1 edge on the
offensive glass. The hosts also
committed only 10 of the 31 turnovers in the contest.
The Blue Devils netted 20-of50 shot attempts for 40 percent,
including a 5-of-19 effort from
behind the arc for 26 percent.

GAHS was also 8-of-10 at the free
throw line for 80 percent.
Cory Call paced the Blue and
White with a game-high 22 points,
followed by Caleb Henry and
Blaine Carter with nine markers
apiece. Call and Henry also led the
hosts with eight rebounds apiece.
Justin McClelland was next with
seven points, while Bailey Walker
and Ben Cox respectively added
three and two points. Cole Davis
completed the winning tally with a
single point.
The Raiders went 15-of-30 from
the ﬂoor for 50 percent, but went
just 2-of-15 from behind the arc for
13 percent. The guests were also
5-of-9 at the charity stripe for 56
percent.
Jordan Lambert led River Valley
with 18 points and six rebounds,
followed by Brandon Call with 11
points and Rory Twyman with six
markers. Layne Fitch completed
the scoring with two points.

CIRCLEVILLE, Ohio – For the University of
Rio Grande men’s basketball team to have any
realistic hopes of earning a post-season berth, a
win in Saturday afternoon’s game at Ohio Christian University was paramount.
The RedStorm responded with the program’s
best single-game defensive effort in more than ﬁve
years.
Head coach Ken French’s squad built a 17-point
halftime lead and maintained a double-digit lead
the rest of the way en route to a 66-46 rout of the
Trailblazers in River States Conference action at
the Maxwell Center.
Rio Grande ended a three-game losing streak,
improving to 10-17 overall and 4-10 inside the
RSC with the win.
The victory also gave the RedStorm a two-game
lead over OCU for the fourth and ﬁnal post-season
berth out of the league’s East Division with three
games left to play. Any combination of Rio wins or
OCU losses totaling two will secure a spot in the
RSC Tournament for Rio.
Ohio Christian dropped to 6-20 overall and 2-12
in league play with an eighth straight loss.
The 46 points scored by the Trailblazers were
the fewest by an OCU team since an 86-47 loss to
the University of the Cumberlands (Ky.) on Nov.
9, 2016 and the fewest allowed by a Rio team
since a 100-38 rout of Ohio University-Chillicothe
on Nov. 7, 2014.
OCU also shot just 29.3 percent from the ﬂoor
(17-for-58) – the lowest percentage by an opponent of the RedStorm since OU-Chillicothe shot
just 22.7 percent in the aforementioned 2014 loss.
The Trailblazers trailed just 13-9 after a conventional three-point play by Troy Mundy with 12:50
left in the ﬁrst half, but Rio went on a 17-2 run
– capped by the stickback of an offensive rebound
by junior Greg Wallace (Montego Bay, Jamaica)
– to take a commanding 30-11 cushion with 8:04
remaining before the intermission.
The RedStorm settled on a 37-20 lead at the
break before taking their largest lead of 21 points,
45-24, after a three-pointer by sophomore Kyle
Lamotte (Mason, OH) with 14:56 left in the contest.
Ohio Christian twice closed the deﬁcit to 13
points, including 56-43 after a bucket by Justin
Barksdale with 5:09 remaining, but got no closer
the rest of the way.
Lamotte ﬁnished with a game-high 21 points
to go along with seven rebounds and a trio of
blocked shots. Junior Cameron Schreiter (Mason,
OH) chipped in with 14 points and a game-best
four assists, while senior Earl Russell (Warrington, England) had nine points, a game-high 11
rebounds and three blocked shots of his own.
Rio Grande shot 45.7 percent from the ﬂoor
(26-for-57) and enjoyed a 40-31 edge in rebounding.
Barksdale led Ohio Christian with 15 points,
nine rebounds, four blocked shots, three assists
and two steals, while Mundy had 11 points in a
losing cause.
Rio Grande returns to action on Tuesday night,
traveling to Pittsburgh, Pa. to face Point Park University. Tipoff is slated for 7:30 p.m.

Patriots beat Rams 13-3
ATLANTA (AP) —
That super shootout
everyone expected
turned into a defensive
standoff. The New England Patriots showed
they can win that type
of championship game,
too.
So after Tom Brady
led one classic drive to
win the Patriots their
record-tying sixth Super
Bowl, he perfectly
summed up the 13-3
victory Sunday over the
Los Angeles Rams.
“Finally got a touchdown and the defense
played the best game of
the year,” Brady said.
In a season in which
all sorts of offensive
records were set, this
Super Bowl rewrote the
defensive record book.
“How about our
defense? How about
our defense?” he said.
“They played unbelievable.”
So well that their
leader linebacker Dont’a
Hightower, joked they
had extra incentive.
“I’m tired of hearing
about Brady,” he said
with a laugh. “I won
one today — we all got
one. It feels good for us
to get it all. Shout out
to him getting his, but
this is a team game and
it feels good to win.”
But the defense still
needed vintage Brady
for one drive . He threw
two perfect passes to
Rob Gronkowski to set
up rookie Sony Michel’s
2-yard score — the only
touchdown in the lowest-scoring Super Bowl
ever. That put New
England up 10-3. A late
ﬁeld goal clinched it
13-3.
No Super Bowl had
gone into the fourth
quarter without a
touchdown. This one
did, tied 3-3 — even
though these teams had
combined to average

New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick embraces New England Patriots’ Julian Edelman
and New England Patriots’ Tom Brady after Super Bowl 53 against the Los Angeles Rams on
Sunday in Atlanta. The Patriots won 13-3.

over 60 points a game.
When the Patriots needed a score,
Brady, the oldest winning quarterback in
a Super Bowl at 41,
completed four straight
passes, including a
pair covering 47 yards
to Gronkowski. The
second , on which the
star tight end beat two
defenders, ended at the
Los Angeles 2, the only
time either team was
inside the 20-yard line.
Michel ran off left tackle for his sixth postseason touchdown.
“He knows to trust

in me and throw that
ball,” Gronkowski said,
“and I’m going to grab
it.”
Julian Edelman, the
outstanding receiver
who missed the 2017
season with a knee injury, was the game’s MVP
with 10 receptions for
141 yards.
With 4:17 left, All-Pro
Stephon Gilmore picked
off an ill-advised pass
by Rams quarterback
Jared Goff, who seemed
overwhelmed by the big
stage all night, at the
New England 2.
Stephen Gostkowski

made a 41-yard ﬁeld
goal with 1:12 remaining, completing a
72-yard march that
took more than three
minutes off the clock
and included 26-yard
runs by Michel and Rex
Burkhead.
It was a workmanlike conclusion for the
Patriots (14-5), whose
losses all came away
from New England.
They beat the top two
offenses in the Chiefs
and Rams (15-4) in the
postseason, and tied
Pittsburgh for most
Super Bowl titles.

CIRCLEVILLE, Ohio – It may not have been the
most picturesque performance for the University of
Rio Grande women’s basketball team, but it did produce a much-needed victory.
The RedStorm survived 20 turnovers and a neversay-die effort from host Ohio Christian University
for an 85-76 win over the Trailblazers, Saturday
afternoon, in River States Conference action at the
Maxwell Center.
Rio Grande, which snapped an eight-game losing
skid, improved to 14-12 overall and 5-9 in league play
with the victory.
The RedStorm also took a game-and-a-half lead over
Carlow University with three games left to play for
the fourth – and ﬁnal – post-season berth out of the
RSC’s East Division as a result of the win.
Ohio Christian dropped to 1-22 overall and 0-14 in
the RSC with a 19th consecutive loss.
The Trailblazers trailed by as many as 11 points
on two different occasions in the second quarter,
but sliced the deﬁcit to just four points inside the
ﬁnal two minutes of the period before trailing by six,
44-38, at the intermission.
Rio Grande extended its lead to as many as 13
points, 51-38, after a three-pointer by senior Chelsy
Slone (Gallipolis, OH) with 7:06 remaining in the
third quarter, but OCU rallied again and pulled within
two, 61-59, following a pair of Staci Dinsmore free
throws with 1.1 seconds left in the period.
Rio surged ahead again by scoring the ﬁrst nine
points of the fourth stanza and taking a 69-59 cushion
after a conventional three-point play by junior Natalie
Seeberg (Urbana, OH) with 6:46 remaining in the
game, but the Trailblazers ran off nine of the next 11
points to draw within 71-68 following a bucket by
Helaina Limas with 5:19 left to play.
However, it was as close as OCU got the rest of the
way.
A 10-2 scoring spurt by the RedStorm over the
next 2-1/2 minutes pushed the lead to 11 points
with 2:43 remaining and settled the issue once and
for all.
Rio Grande withstood its 20 turnovers by shooting 51 percent from the ﬁeld (32-for-62) and enjoying a whopping 51-21 edge in rebounding.
Senior Jaida Carter (New Philadelphia, OH) had a
team-high 24 points to go along with nine rebounds
and a game-best six assists, while sophomore Jimi
Howell (Barberton, OH) netted a career-high 22
points while pulling down a game-high 11 rebounds.
Slone had 16 points to go along with a careerhigh ﬁve assists, while freshman Avery Harper
(Seaman, OH) narrowly missed a double-double
with eight points and 10 rebounds. Senior Megan
Liedtke (Beverly, OH) also had eight points and
nine rebounds.
Ohio Christian, which lost to Rio for a fourth
straight time, shot just 36 percent from the ﬂoor
overall (26-for-72) and was just 9-for-31 from threepoint range (29%).
Dinsmore equaled a career-high with a game-high
30 points for the Trailblazers. She also had a gamehigh nine steals, a team-high eight rebounds and a
team-high ﬁve assists.
Limas added 16 points in a losing cause, while
Maddie O’Connell tallied 13 points and Carolane
Cox had ﬁve assists of her own.
Rio Grande returns to action on Tuesday night
when it travels to Pittsburgh, Pa. to face Point Park
University. Tipoff is set for 5:30 p.m.
