Councilman Doug Dixon ﬁlled in as chairperson for Mayor Sandy Iannareli, who Dixon stated to be out sick. At their Nov. 28 meeting, council was given an information packet by Mayor Iannareli, which the Sentinel was told contained legal interpretations of Middleport Village hiring practices, speciﬁcally concerning former employee Fred Older. At that time, Iannareli stated the council should review the info for the following meeting. Acting on that statement from the previous meeting, Dixon raised the information in the Dec. 12 meeting. “Based on my reading, based on information from the solicitor, it is between Joe (Woodall) and the Mayor to hire Fred Older or not,” Dixon said. No objections to that interpretation were raised by the council, which then asked Village Administrator Joe Woodall if he intended to hire Older. Councilperson Sharon Older recused herself from the discussion and later voting pertaining to the matter. Woodall’s answer was preempted by the council moving to executive session, which lasted 25 minutes. No information was made public following resumption of public session. A vague discussion concerning bonuses then occurred, but was shortly tabled. At no point Monday night was mention made by any council member concerning Sunshine Laws, a heated topic from the previous meeting. The council adopted three resolutions during Monday’s business. The ﬁrst, Resolution 223-16, provided village funding in the ﬁrst month of 2017. Clerk Sue Baker explained to the Council, “It’s routine measure, since we will have no second meeting in December, for January appropriations until a permanent measure is adopted. This resolution is no different than last year’s.” Of resolution 222-16 , Baker said “The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) is replacing a guardrail on Route 7 next spring, and the law requires a resolution” to allow that. Baker said there was a process available, if the council desired, to give ODOT more latitude in the future. The ﬁnal resolution “renews the cafeteria plan permitting pre-tax withholding of insurance co-pays,” according to the meeting agenda. Baker said this was the same wording since the inception of the cafeteria plan. Other village departments had no new business, though Middleport Building Inspector Mike Hendrickson did inform the Council Santa Claus made an appearance on Saturday, Dec. 10 at the Middleport Village Hall. Speaking after the meeting, Hendrickson conﬁrmed Santa would also be present Wednesday evening to visit more children, and eat more cookies. “Cookies, drinks, the kids having a great time. It’s wonderful,” he said, adding that the 2016 Toy Drive is still active. The next regularly scheduled meeting of the Middleport Village Council will be Jan. 9, 2017.

Charles Miller, 39, would have had an indeﬁnite term of 15 years to life had a ﬁrearm not been involved in the crime, according to Gallia Prosecutor Jeff Miller Adkins. Miller ultimately pleaded guilty to the crime of homicide, after a plea arrangement which dropped his previous evasion charge. According to complaint records, deputies were dispatched late September to the Porter Road area in Gallia County after receiving a report that a man named “Charlie” had a gun and was going to shoot the caller’s friend, “Sarah.” Law enforcement arrived at 971 Porter Road and located the victim, Sarah Miller, 46, dead with a gunshot wound to her head in the residence’s yard. Charles Miller was nowhere to be found, police said. Witnesses reported Charles ﬂed the scene after the shooting in a green Chevrolet Cavalier. The Gallia County 911 Center received phone calls from two individuals reporting Charles Miller told them he had shot or killed his wife. Charles Miller was eventually taken into custody after a vehicle pursuit and subsequent crash. Deputies recovered a loaded .22-caliber handgun at the scene of the crash. The Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation interviewed Charles Miller on a Monday and he reportedly said he was in pos- session of a single-action handgun when he contacted Sarah Miller on a Sunday evening. Charles Miller allegedly admitted to cocking the gun before shooting Sarah Miller during the middle of an argument. Reports also say that Charles Miller allegedly admitted to telling the victim he was going to shoot her before doing so. Records further report that Charles Miller’s vehicle was discovered in the area of State Route 160 and Swango Road in Springﬁeld Township before the pursuit began. A deputy in full uniform with a marked vehicle and lights on, pulled in front of Charles Miller’s vehicle on State Route 160. The deputy exited his vehicle and ordered Charles Miller to do the same. Charles Miller reportedly accelerated and swerved around the sheriff’s ofﬁcer’s cruiser and See MILLER | 4A �DEATH NOTICES/NEWS 2A Thursday, December 15, 2016 DEATH NOTICES MEIGS CHURCH CALENDAR HAYES Saturday, Dec. 17 REEDSVILLE — Reedsville United Methodist Church Christmas Program “It all happened in the country” will be held at 7 p.m. at the Reedsville United Methodist Church.

Von Spakovsky Contributing columnist Throughout our nation’s history, vigorous debates and court battles have raged over the meaning and extent of the protections provided by different parts of the Bill of Rights. Many of these arguments have centered on the First, Second, Fourth, and Fifth Amendments. But there have been virtually no fights at all over the Third Amendment. Some might claim this is a sign that the amendment was unneeded or unimportant. Actually, it’s a sign of its unambiguity and its lasting success. The Third Amendment provides that: “No Soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the Owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner prescribed by law.” The Third Amendment was prompted by actions of the English Crown that outraged ordinary Americans. Colonists had been forced to house British soldiers in their homes without their consent. This practice came to the fore in 1774 with Parliament’s passage of the Intolerable or Coercive Acts, designed specifically to punish Bostonians for the Boston Tea Party. This was the “party” thrown by Sam Adams and the Sons of Liberty in December 1773 in which they threw 342 chests of tea overboard in Boston Harbor to protest the Tea Act of 1773. Part of the punishment was a new Quartering Act that forced Boston homeowners and innkeepers to provide housing for British Redcoats for a pittance and not the actual cost of boarding them. A curious fact of history: Bostonians were singled out for punishment despite the fact that there was a similar Delaware Tea Party shortly after the Boston party that sank even more chests of tea — more than 700. But as “A Patriot’s History of the United States” points out, Sam Adams wasn’t there to publicize the Delaware Tea Party, so no one remembers it. What is important about this amendment is that it supported the Founders’ view — also expressed elsewhere in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights — that American civilians needed to be structurally protected against the dangers of a standing army. They had seen the British army used as an internal police force to intimidate, harass, arrest and otherwise coerce the colonists. Banning such quartering was a step that could be taken to prevent such actions being personally visited on civilians in their homes. We see this same protection in the Second Amendment, whose purpose is not just to protect the right of Americans to hunt and to defend themselves from ordinary criminals, but ultimately to protect themselves from a tyrannical government and its enforcers — a professional army. As Ninth Circuit Judge Alex Kozinski said in Silveira v. Lockyer in 2002: “The Second Amendment is a doomsday provision, one designed for those exceptionally rare circumstances where all other rights have failed … . However improbable these contingencies may seem today, facing them unprepared is a mistake a free people get to make only once.” This fundamental concept that our military cannot be used in domestic policing and law enforcement or to enforce domestic policy is also enshrined in the 1878 Posse Comitatus Act. It is so ingrained in American culture, society, and our basic values, that the average American does not realize how unusual this is in the history of civilization and the practices of many other nations. The Third Amendment is part and parcel of this structural protection. There have been almost no cases in the courts over the Third Amendment. The federal government has never tried to violate the amendment. Since our very beginning as a nation, our military forces have been housed on bases acquired and paid for by the federal government. One of the few times it has been mentioned was in the recent U.S. Supreme Court decision upholding the Second Amendment in McDonald v. City of Chicago. There the court simply noted that the Third Amendment was one of the few amendments that had not been incorporated by the 14th Amendment into applying to the states. Thus, the prohibition applies only to the federal government. There are no current challenges to the Third Amendment. Nor are there likely to be any in the near future — unless we end up facing the type of doomsday situation that Judge Kozinski described. That is when it will be another tool in the arsenal the American people can use to take back their constitutional republic.

They should keep in mind that, despite the “high conﬁdence” of intelligence agencies, tracing a data breach is almost never a sure thing. Two years ago, Sony Pictures suffered an embarrassing hack that released a trove of conﬁdential data. After four weeks of research, the Federal Bureau of Investigation concluded that the North Korean government was responsible. An FBI press release explained that the conclusion was based partly on the fact that the malware used on Sony was similar to tools found in previous attacks attributed to North Korea. In that case, blaming North Korea made sense. The attack was accompanied by a demand that Sony Pictures pull its ﬁlm “The Interview,” a tasteless comedy depicting an effort to assassinate North Korean leader Kim Jongun. It seems plausible that Kim might be selfabsorbed enough to order a cyber attack to stop the release of an unﬂattering movie. Then in February, the Bangladeshi central bank fell victim to an $81 million cyber heist. Upon examining the tools used, security researchers discovered the same type of malware that was used against Sony Pictures, including identical encryption keys. As one security researcher explained: “If you believe North Korea was behind (the Sony Pictures) attacks, then the bank attacks were also the work of North Korea.” Well, wait a minute. That seems a bit out of character. North Korea doesn’t have a history of conducting bank heists for ﬁnancial gain, and the same attacks were attempted on other banks all around the world. Are we supposed to believe that the North Korean government was responsible for everything? The attribution of a cyber attack to a particular nation-state often relies on the results of previous assessments, and on the assumption that those earlier assessments were correct. Problem is, there’s rarely any afﬁrmative validation. If we correctly identify North Korea as the perpetrator of a hack, no North Korean ofﬁcial will come forward and say, “Whoops! You got us!” Many security experts doubted the FBI’s original assessment of the Sony hack, including one researcher who previously inﬁltrated Sony’s network himself. Sony Group has a long and well-documented history of network breaches across all its subsidiaries. Why did the FBI blame North Korea and not somebody sitting in a bed someplace? Assessing a cyber attack is more art than science. Intelligence analysis deals with information that is often intentionally deceptive. As Central Intelligence Agency veteran Richards Heuer explains, “The signiﬁcance of information is always a joint function of the nature of the information and the context in which it is interpreted.” This feels uncomfortable to those who want to be sure beyond a reasonable doubt. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, and the idea that a nuclear-armed state stole Democratic National Committee emails to interfere with the U.S. election is a pretty extraordinary claim. After all, multinational corporations have suffered much bigger data breaches at the hands of hackers with far fewer resources. Unfortunately, intelligence agencies tend to avoid revealing their sources, lest they alienate their allies. As we learned from Edward Snowden’s leaked documents, the National Security Agency relies on “fourth party collection,” which entails stealing information that foreign agencies have collected on their own surveillance targets. For example, the NSA has spied on South Korea to ﬁnd out what South Korea has learned from spying on North Korea. Intelligence agencies expect people to trust them, but they also have to earn that trust. It was only last Friday that President Obama ordered a review of potential election-related hacking. While the idea of Russian meddling might ﬁt conveniently into the collective disbelief that Donald Trump could have won the election fairly, we should probably demand more evidence before freaking out.

By Heidi Stevens Contributing columnist You can care that Kanye West was summoned to Trump Tower this week and still care that Syria is in ﬂames. The media — and the media-consuming public — are taking a beating for being distracted from real issues by the spectacle of a ﬂashy singer standing next to a ﬂashy president-elect in his gold-plated building. That’s a lot of shiny objects, which we do love. But it’s also news. It’s news when a president-elect who eschews daily intelligence briefings and postpones a scheduled press conference to discuss his business conﬂicts nonetheless ﬁnds time to host an entertainer who, by his own admission, didn’t even vote in the last election. But folks were quick to admonish the press for taking Donald Trump’s bait. “We no longer have journalists, we have entertainment reporters,” John Pavlovitz, a highly respected minister and writer, posted Tuesday on Facebook — echoing the thoughts of a signiﬁcant segment of the populace outraged by Trump’s pre- and post-election behavior, and convinced the media aren’t sufﬁciently covering it. I respectfully disagree. If Trump had his way, the public would know only what he wants the public to know. And that would be neatly contained to a series of tweets — his preferred mode of communication. Never mind that just 19 percent of the adult population uses Twitter. Never mind that Twitter users are mostly collegeeducated and under 50, which leaves out many of the folks he’s promising to bring back into the fray. Twitter doesn’t pepper you with questions the way a press corps does, so it serves a fragile leader just ﬁne. The public, however, knows far more than what Trump tweets, and that’s because we have journalists. And those journalists aren’t waiting around for press conferences. The fact that we know Trump likely hasn’t paid taxes for two decades, that he brags about groping women, that he takes credit for charitable gifts he never actually gave, that taxpayers will likely be paying his corporation when the Secret Service moves into his New York building, that his pick to run the State Department has worrisome ties to Russia and so on — we know because of journalists. Are journalists also ﬂocking to shoot photos and grab quotes from Kanye’s Trump Tower voyage? Indeed. Journalists and readers are ﬂocking to all sorts of stories — all day, every day. But let’s not label everything a distraction. Humans are capable of processing and prioritizing more than one topic at a time. We can click on, read about and discuss the Golden Globes, HGTV’s Tarek and Christina splitting, Alan Thicke dying and whether Hillary Duff should kiss her son on the lips, and we can learn something about our culture and ourselves from each of them. And we can still click on, read and discuss gun violence, the fall of Aleppo, the Dakota Access Pipeline and Trump’s Cabinet picks — and we can learn something about our culture and ourselves from each of those too. Our collective human experience is best understood when we explore all of its layers. Journalists give us access to those layers. Journalists hold the powerful accountable, and the public, in turn, holds us accountable. Let’s not get distracted from the fact that we’re best served to work toward the same goal: knowledge, truth and understanding. Heidi Stevens is a columnist for the Chicago Tribune.

The Meigs boys basketball team stormed out to a nine-point lead after three quarters and eventually held on Tuesday night for a 53-49 triumph over visiting Alexander in a Tri-Valley Conference Ohio Division contest at Larry R. Morrison Gymnasium in Meigs County. The Marauders (1-4, 1-0 TVC Ohio) opened league play in grand style as the hosts never trailed, thanks in large part to 11 ﬁrst half points from Weston Baer as MHS opened up a 26-19 edge at the break. A small 16-14 third quarter run — spearheaded by Dillon Mahr’s six points — allowed MHS to increase its lead to 42-33 headed into the ﬁnale, but the Spartans (2-2, 1-1) made a late charge See MARAUDERS | 2B OVP SPORTS SCHEDULE Thursday, December 15 Boys Basketball Hannan at Ohio Valley Christian, 7:30 Girls Basketball Southern at Eastern, 7:15 Hannan at Ohio Valley Christian, 6 p.m. Alexander at River Valley, 7:15 Gallia Academy at Coal Grove, 7:30 Meigs at Wellston, 7:30 Wahama at Trimble, 7:30 Wrestling Point Pleasant, Herbert Hover, at Independence, 5 p.m. Friday, December 16 Boys Basketball Wahama at Eastern, 7:30 Meigs at River Valley, 7:30 Rock Hill at Gallia Academy, 7:30 Waterford at South Gallia, 7:30 Trimble at Southern, 7:30 Point Pleasant at IOGA Tournament, TBA Hannan at WV State Hoops Classic, 10:30 Ohio Valley Christian at Covenant Tournament, TBA Girls Basketball Ohio Valley Christian at Covenant Tournament, TBA Saturday, December 17 Boys Basketball Ohio Valley Christian at Covenant Tournament, TBA Girls Basketball Waterford at Eastern, 7:15 Wahama at Belpre, 1:30 South Gallia at Federal Hocking, TBA Ohio Valley Christian at Covenant Tournament, TBA Wrestling Wahama at Buffalo, 10 a.m. Gallia Academy, Meigs at Vinton County, 9 a.m. Alex Hawley/OVP Sports Wahama’s Noah Litchfield (center) passes to Mason Hildreth (14) with under 10 seconds left in the fourth quarter of the White Falcons’ 63-62 victory, on Tuesday in Mason. White Falcons edge Southern, 63-62 By Alex Hawley ahawley@civitasmedia.com MASON, W.Va. — The White Falcons’ free throw shooting came through for them on Tuesday night, especially when they needed it. Trailing by one point with ﬁve seconds left in the fourth quarter, Wahama senior Mason Hildreth hit back-to-back free throws to give the White Falcons a 63-62 victory over Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division guest Southern. “That was clutch, Mason Hildreth stepped up there and did a whale of a job knocking those two in,” Wahama head coach Ron Bradley said. “I could see it on his face, and you see a kid standing there with conﬁdence, it gives you conﬁdence.” After a pair of early lead changes, the teams were tied at nine, eight minutes into play. Wahama (1-1, 1-1 TVC Hocking) took a two point lead early in the second quarter, but an SHS (3-1, 1-1) trifecta gave the guests a 14-13 lead with 6:48 left in the half. The Tornadoes were held scoreless for the next 3:30, however, as Wahama went on a 13-0 run. Southern halted the run with back-to-back two-pointers, but Wahama claimed seven of the next eight points and led 33-19, with 30 seconds left in the half. The Tornadoes ended the second quarter with a 5-0 run, but Wahama led by eight at halftime. In the ﬁrst ﬁve minutes of the second half, Southern outscored WHS 19-to-12, cutting the White Falcon lead to one possession at 45-43. However, Wahama ended the third with a 5-1 run and led 50-44 with eight minutes remaining. Southern made up the deﬁcit in less than 5:30, as a Trey Pickens trifecta with 3:37 left in the game gave the Purple and Gold a 55-54 lead, their ﬁrst lead since the second quarter. Wahama quickly regained the advantage with a Noah Litchﬁeld two-pointer. Southern regained the lead with 2:37 left, but Wahama again answered and led 58-57. SHS tied the game at 58 with 2:17 left and two Dylan Smith free throws gave the Tornadoes a 60-58 advantage with 1:20 remaining. With 51 seconds to go, Noah Litchﬁeld converted an oldfashioned three-pointer to give the White Falcons a one-point lead. However, SHS took the lead back at 62-61 with 40 seconds left, on a two-pointer by Smith. With time winding down, Litchﬁeld drove to the lane and passed to Hildreth underneath. Hildreth was fouled and sent to the line, where he made both free throws. The Tornadoes failed to get a shot off in the ﬁnal ﬁve seconds, and Wahama claimed the 63-62 win. “We didn’t play well early, obviously in the ﬁrst half we played pretty bad,” SHS head coach Jeff Caldwell said. “We were able to come back and get a win like that on Saturday Alex Hawley/OVP Sports Southern senior Crenson Rogers (34) shoots over Wahama’s Randy Lantz (10) during the White Falcons’ 63-62 victory, on Tuesday in Mason. night. Tonight we battled and gave ourselves a chance, but you have to play four quarters of basketball. You can’t just pick it up at the end and think you’re going to win. “They came out conﬁdent and aggressive, and our kids came out ﬂat,” Caldwell added. “Credit goes to Wahama, they came out ready to play, like it was a big game, and they went after us. They hit their foul shots and we struggle from the foul line. Good high school basketball teams can hit foul shots, and right now, that’s a real struggle for us.” For the game the White Falcons shot 20-of-27 (74.1 percent) from the charity stripe, while Southern was 7-of-18 (38.9 percent). “I tell them all the time, ‘free throws, layups and rebounds win a lot of basketball games’ and it came true here tonight,” Bradley said. “Two free throws at the end of the game are the same as two free throws at the beginning of the game, you have to make them all. We have to strive for perfection from the free throw line.” See FALCONS | 2B Blue Devils burn Chesapeake, 53-31 By Bryan Walters bwalters@civitasmedia.com Bryan Walters/OVP Sports Gallia Academy sophomore Cory Call (22) converts a fast break just ahead of Chesapeake defender during a 53-31 Ohio Valley Conference victory Tuesday night in Centenary, Ohio. CENTENARY, Ohio — Jim Osborne and Norm Persin would have been the opposing coaches the last time it happened, although nobody is quite sure how long ago the feat actually took place — including Jim Osborne and Norm Persin. The Gallia Academy boys basketball team claimed its ﬁrst victory over Chesapeake since the turn of the millennium on Tuesday night following a resounding 53-31 decision in the Ohio Valley Conference opener for both programs in Gallia County. The Blue Devils (3-1, 1-0 OVC) were simply dominant from the start as the hosts used a balanced inside-out attack to hit six of their ﬁrst nine shots while strolling out to a 12-0 advantage six minutes into regulation. The visiting Panthers (0-3, 0-1), on the other hand, missed their ﬁrst eight shot attempts and came up scoreless on 10 straight possessions to start the night. Casey McComas converted a layup with 11 seconds left in the opening canto to get CHS on the board while closing to within 12-2 after eight minutes of play. The Purple and White — who entered Tuesday with a perfect 10-0 mark against GAHS under current Chesapeake coach Ryan Davis — never came closer than nine points the rest of the way as the Blue Devils again netted 6-of-9 shot attempts to start the second canto en route to a commanding 25-6 lead. The Panthers — who went just 3-of-19 from the ﬁeld in the ﬁrst half — ended a near three-minute scoreless drought after Jake Stevens converted an old-fashioned three-point play with 54 seconds left, making it a 25-9 contest. Justin Peck completed a 14-point performance in the ﬁrst half with a basket just before the buzzer, allowing the Blue and White to take a comfortable 18-point cushion into the intermission.

Va. — In traveling outside of Ohio, and venturing outside of fellow christian-school competition, the Defenders returned to the Buckeye State on Tuesday night with a loss. That’s because the Ohio Valley Christian School boys basketball team, in being outscored 57-42 over the ﬁnal three quarters, fell 71-62 to the Wayne County, W. Va. Pioneers. The loss left the Defenders at an even 2-2, while Wayne won its ﬁrst game following a season-opening defeat. OVCS amassed a 20-14 advantage following the ﬁrst period, but the Pioneers reversed the trend in the second stanza — winning the frame 22-13 for a 36-33 halftime edge. The Defenders then forged a 52-52 tie after the third quarter, but Wayne won the ﬁnal period 19-10 to take the ninepoint victory. basketball and be hardnosed.

Blue Devils clip Raiders to take tri-match By Paul Boggs pboggs@civitasmedia.com BIDWELL, Ohio — Sometimes, just being there is half the battle. Such was the case on Tuesday night at River Valley High School, as the Gallia Academy Blue Devils — by ﬁlling all but one of the 14 weight classes — did just capture a triangular wrestling match with fellow Gallia County clubs River Valley and South Gallia. In Tuesday’s ﬁnal faceoff between the Blue Devils and host Raiders, Gallia Academy eked out a 39-33 victory —thanks in part to winning three matches via forfeit. With the win over River Valley, the Blue Devils won the tri-match, as Gallia Academy and River Valley rolled to easy wins over ﬁrst-year program South Gallia. In the evening’s opening dual, River Valley vanquished the Rebels 54-12, before the Blue Devils defeated South Gallia 65-18. Gallia Academy actually scored 66 on-mat markers against the Rebels, but were penalized a team point. As expected, the competition was close and ﬁerce between the Raiders and Devils, as River Valley — winning ﬁve matches worth six points plus a three-point decision — edged Gallia Academy 6-4 in actual con- tested matches won. The Blue Devils did win three matches via pinfall and one by decision — but forfeit wins in the 106, 126 and 132-pound weight classes clinched the triumph. There was a double forfeit at 138 pounds. For the Blue Devils against the Raiders, Kaleb Crisenbery (152 pounds), Hunter Jacks (195 pounds) and Kyle Greenlee (120 pounds) gained pinfall wins — while Andrew Mullins mustered a 4-2 decision over Joseph Dale at 170. The Blue and White’s wins via forfeit were by Jason Stroud at 106, Jared Stevens at 126 and Justin Day at 132. The Raiders earned triumphs with three wins by pinfall, two by injury default, and ﬁnally a hardfought 4-2 decision by Jacob Edwards over Caleb Greenlee at 113. Eric Weber at 160, Dakota Doss at 220 and Robert Drummond at heavyweight all won via pin. Jeremiah Dobbins at 145 pounds and Grant Gilmore at 182 pounds won their affairs by injury default, when Gallia Academy’s Morgan Stanley (145) and Chris Matthew (182) were unable to continue. In the previous dual against the Rebels, the Blue Devils also beneﬁted from forfeits. Crisenbery at 152, Ste- Paul Boggs/OVP Sports Gallia Academy’s Hunter Jacks (left) and South Gallia’s Izak Luther (right) compete in the 182-pound weight class as part of Tuesday night’s triangular wrestling match at River Valley High School. vens at 126, Boo Pullins at 160, Darren Owens at 195, Kenton Ramsey at 106, Caleb Greenlee at 113 and Kyle Greenlee at 120 all earned a free six points. Four others earned pinfall wins — Day at 132, Jacks at 182, Stanley at 145 and Dewey Ferguson at 170. Chayce Pearson picked up a pinfall for the Rebels — winning at 220 — while Kyle Northup at 138 and Wyatt Rapp at heavyweight won via forfeit. South Gallia gained two forfeit wins to begin Tuesday’s tri — with Troy Watson taking 132 followed by Northup at 138. From there, River Valley won 10 of the ﬁnal dozen weights — with double forfeits at 106 and 126. Dobbins at 145, Gilmore at 182 and Doss at 220 all won with pins. The Raiders also recorded ﬁve forfeits —Edwards at 113, Weber at 160, Nathan Michael at 152, Zachary Stein at 195 and Joseph Burns at 120. The Silver and Black claimed two tilts via decision — Dale (170) defeating Chad Bostic by a 6-3 count, followed by Drummond (285) downing David Kuhn 3-2. Paul Boggs can be reached at 740446-2342, ext. 2106 GLOUSTER, Ohio — If only the Rebels had started the way they ﬁnished. Hindered by a pair of slow beginnings to both halves, visiting South Gallia couldn’t quite catch the Trimble Tomcats on Tuesday night —and hence fell 62-47 in a Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division boys basketball bout inside William White Gymnasium in Glouster. The Rebels trailed 12-6 following the opening quarter, but outscored the Tomcats 18-14 in the second period to trail only 26-24 at halftime. But Trimble blitzed South Gallia with eight unanswered points to open the second half, and answered a Rebels’ run with another six straight counters — taking the cushion back to 13 points. As a result of the bookend sprees, the Tomcats doubled up the Rebels 17-9 in the period — and maintained a double-digits advantage the remainder of the way. The loss left South Gallia at a winless 0-4 — and 0-2 in the TVC-Hocking Division. The Tomcats raised their record to a perfect 3-0 — both overall and inside the league. Tyler Slack paced Trimble with 19 points, knocking down nine total ﬁeld goals. As part of that 8-0 run in the opening minute-and-ahalf of the third quarter, Randy Hixson and Slack sank three-pointers apiece to make it 34-24. The Rebels then trailed 40-33 — on deuces by Caleb Henry, Josh Henry and Colton Bowers —and a threepoint basket by Eli Ellis. However, Slack scored the ﬁnal of three consecutive Tomcat layups in a 45-second stretch — and South Gallia would creep no closer. “That’s the mark of a Howie Caldwell-coached team,” SGHS coach Larry Howell told The Athens Messenger. “We knew going into the third quarter that they were going to raise their energy level, especially on defense. They just started executing better in the second half, and that was the difference. In the ﬁrst half, Trimble just grinds you and grinds you. Then, in the second half, they take advantage.” Trimble’s Kamron Curry canned seven ﬁeld goals and a pair of free throws for 16 points, while Hixson hit three threes and two twos towards 13 markers. Alex Coffman collected four ﬁeld goals for eight points, while Max Hooper with two and Ryan Richards with one registered third-quarter buckets. The Tomcats shot a sizzling 62-percent (28-of-45), and outrebounded South Gallia 24-15. The Rebels, despite a respectable 44-percent (19of-43) from the ﬁeld, rattled in only two of their eight three-point attempts. Caleb Henry, on seven ﬁeld goals and 5-of-7 free throws, tied Slack for game-high honors with 19 points. He also dished out six of the squad’s 14 assists, and had two ﬁrst-quarter ﬁeld goals as Austin Day dropped in one. Ellis added a fourth-period trey towards eight points, as Curtis Haner had three ﬁeld goals for six. Austin Stapleton scored two second-stanza ﬁeld goals —as Bowers bucketed ﬁve points, including a free throw. Josh Henry had the team’s other foul shot. The Rebels return home, and return to action on Friday night, when they welcome Waterford for another TVC-Hocking tilt.
