Brandon L. Stewart, 21, pleaded guilty in Meigs County Common Pleas Court to aggravated robbery, a first degree felony, and felonious assault, a second degree felony. In pleading guilty, the prosecution dismissed the firearm specification in the aggravated robbery charge and dismissed the charge of resisting arrest. Judge I. Carson Crow sentenced Stewart in accordance with the plea agreement presented by both ProsStewart ecutor Colleen Williams and defense attorney Michael Huff. Stewart was sentenced to nine years in prison on the aggravated robbery charge and eight years in prison on the felonious assault charge, with the two sentences to run concurrently for a total of nine years. The charges against Stewart stem from an Aug. 3 incident. According to previous Sentinel reports, the Meigs County Sheriff’s Office was attempting to locate Stewart on felony warrants from Gallia County, as well as a grand theft charge in Meigs County.

An effort by anti-Trump forces to persuade Republican electors to abandon the presidentelect came to practically nothing and the process unfolded largely according to its traditions. Trump’s polarizing victory Nov. 8 and the fact Democrat Hillary Clinton had won the national popular vote had stirred an intense lobbying effort, but to no avail. Even one of Trump’s fiercest Republican rivals, Ohio Gov. John Kasich, said it was time to get behind the president-elect. “We want unity, we want love,” Kasich said as Ohio’s electors voted to back Trump at a statehouse ceremony. Kasich refused to endorse or even vote for Trump in the election. With Hawaii still to vote, Trump had 304 votes and Clinton had 224. It takes 270 Electoral College votes to win the presidency. Texas put Trump over the top, despite two Republican electors casting protest votes. Befitting an election filled with acrimony, thousands of protesters converged on state capitols across the country Monday, urging Republican electors to abandon their party’s winning candidate.

Her mother Courtney said “last year was bad, she cried.” Ho! Ho! Ho! By Michael Hart Special to the Sentinel MIDDLEPORT — Large groups of children visited with Santa last week when the jolly Christmas character made appearances at Middleport Village Hall. Santa was unavailable for an interview, but Middleport Village Building Inspector Mike Hendrickson said families were lined up to talk with Santa and have a snack of cookies and juice boxes. Hendrickson, who has a full white beard, never seems to be in the same room as Santa. “Made my day to see kids’ faces light up like that,” he said. His goal was for every local child to get at least a little Christmas spirit, and a chat with Santa and some cookies afterwards can go a long way. “One little guy took half a dozen, and some of them don’t get a lot at home, so it’s ‘help your- self,’” he added. Middleport Mayor Sandy Ianarrelli said this was a test run to bring Santa to the Middleport government offices every year. “We will start a little earlier next year with our community outreach, and See SANTA | 5 HNB Family Nights return for 22nd year Staff Report TDSnews@civitasmedia.com MEIGS COUNTY — For the past 22 years Home National Bank has held Family Night during the high school basketball season.

Tuesday, December 20, 2016 3 Obama sets rule to protect streams near coal mines WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration on Monday set final rules designed to reduce the environmental impact of coal mining on the nation’s streams, a long-anticipated move that met quick resistance from Republicans who vowed to overturn it under President Donald Trump. The Interior Department said the new rule will protect 6,000 miles of streams and 52,000 acres of forests, preventing debris from coal mining from being dumped into nearby waters. The rule would maintain a buffer zone that blocks coal mining within 100 feet of streams, but would impose stricter guidelines for exceptions to the 100foot rule. Interior officials said the rule would cause only modest job losses in coal country, but Republicans and some coal-state Democrats denounced it as a job-killer being imposed during President Barack Obama’s final days in office. Coal already is struggling under steep compe- tition from cheaper and cleaner-burning natural gas, as well as regulations aimed at reducing greenhouse-gas pollution that contributes to climate change. U.S. coal production has fallen to its lowest level in nearly 30 years, and several coal companies have filed for bankruptcy protection in recent months, including three of the country’s biggest coal producers, Alpha Natural Resources, Arch Coal and Peabody Energy. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., called the rule part of Obama’s “eight-year war on coal” that he said has cost jobs and hurt coal miners and their families. He and House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., said they look forward to working with Trump to provide “relief” to coal communities hard-hit by the industry’s downturn. McConnell said he will introduce a resolution of disapproval under the rarely used Congressional Review Act to overturn the stream-protection rule and vowed to “use every tool available to turn back this regulatory assault on coal country.” Democratic Sens. Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Heidi Heitkamp of North Dakota also criticized the rule, which can be rejected by a majority vote in Congress. Manchin called the rule “alarming in its scope and potential impacts” and said he will “pursue legislation to ensure it does not harm our coal mining communities and economies.” Hal Quinn, president of the National Mining Association, called the rule a “post-election midnight regulation” that will hurt “everyday Americans.” Quinn and other opponents said the rule appears to support the environmental movement’s “keep it in the ground” efforts to reduce extraction and use of fossil fuels such as coal and oil that contribute to global warming. He argued that locking away coal reserves will put tens of thousands of Americans out of work and raise energy costs for mil- lions of Americans. The Sierra Club, not surprisingly, disagreed, calling the rule “a long overdue step toward guaranteeing every community in America is protected from the toxic water pollution caused by surface coal mining.” The organization said the mining dumps dangerous heavy metals such as mercury, selenium and arsenic into local waterways and “puts the health of families living near coalfields at risk.” An Interior official projected that fewer than 300 jobs would be lost after the regulation takes effect next month. The rule would require companies to restore streams and return mined areas to conditions similar to those before mining took place. Companies also would have to replant native trees and vegetation.

The rule exceeds the power granted by Congress and ignores separate regulatory authority reserved to the states and other agencies. As with other overreaches, we will take whatever legal action is necessary to protect the interests of Ohioans and Ohio’s economy.” According to the release, the regulation fails to respect state control over mining regulations as required by Congress and unnecessarily seeks to regulate areas already monitored by other federal entities and the individual states. The release further states, it also exceeds the Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement’s authority as it would broadly prohibit almost all mining-related activity in a specified stream buffer zone, subject longwall mining to unrealistic standards and set forth increased water sampling requirements that ignore local geology. Last year, the attorneys general led 14 states in opposing the proposed regulations and calling for the Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement to coordinate with states in drafting a balanced rule. Such cooperation did not occur. Released by the office of West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey. GM to temporarily close 5 factories DETROIT (AP) — General Motors will temporarily close five factories next month as it tries to reduce a growing inventory of cars on dealer lots. The factories will close anywhere from one to three weeks due to the ongoing U.S. market shift toward trucks and SUVs, spokeswoman Dayna Hart said Monday. Just over 10,000 workers will be idled. The company’s Detroit-Hamtramck factory and Fairfax Assembly plant in Kansas City, Kansas, each will be shut down for three weeks, while a plant in Lansing, Michigan, will be down for two weeks. Factories in Lordstown, Ohio, and Bowling Green, Kentucky, each will be idled for one week. The factories make most cars in the General Motors lineup includ- ing the Chevrolet Cruze, Camaro, Corvette, Malibu, Volt and Impala; the Cadillac CT6, CTS and ATS; and the Buick Lacrosse. At the current sales pace, GM dealers have enough Malibus to last for 84 days and enough Camaros to last for 177 days, according to Ward’s Automotive. Normally automakers like to have a 60-day supply on lots. Last month, trucks and SUVs made up almost 62 percent of all vehicles sold in the U.S., a record level. GM, like other automakers, was caught with too many cars on dealer lots as the shift continued, said Jeff Schuster, senior vice president of forecasting for the LMC Automotive consulting firm. Automakers have started discounting cars, but they need to cut production as the shift contin- ues, he said. “There’s nothing that suggests a move back to cars,” Schuster said. He predicted strong December sales but said it won’t be enough “to overcome some of this bloating of inventory.” Buyers are snapping up SUVs largely because they like the high seating position and the ability to haul things. Gasoline prices around $2 per gallon have helped the sales, but SUVs also have become more fuel efficient in the past five years. GM’s inventory of vehicles on dealer lots at the end of November stood at 874,162, up 26.5 percent from the same time a year ago. Workers at the plants will get company supplemental pay and unemployment benefits that add up to most of their pay.

THEIR VIEW Elegance of a Cardboard Christmas You are officially on the “Nice,” not “Naughty” list when Santa leaves not only gifts, but the boxes they come in. An empty box is a kid’s best friend. It’s less expensive than any item it holds, yet it’s value is immeasurable. Its emptiness can be filled with toys or live bodies. It can be flipped on its side to become a castle or completely over, providing a flat surface on which imaginary tea parties are held. It’s a dentist’s chair, a horse, a church pew. It’s a workbench, a boat, a shield from air darts. A box is a treasure chest of memories. Why? Because it’s versatile. It doesn’t break easily. It can be spray painted for a doll-house or draped with a blanket to create a tent. It withstands strikes from a bow-shot arrow and raindrops— for a few minutes anyway. An empty box is adaptable. It becomes whatever we want it to These are the nuggets be.

I can click around in cowboy boots and still tiptoe to yoga. If I am a misfit, it is by choice. Like a kid playing with the cardboard, I can choose to raise my trumpet and announce my grand entrance or toss it into the trash pile.

THEIR VIEW Pioneer and historical society looking forward By Jordan Pickens Contributing Columnist 2016 has been a redefining year for the Meigs County Pioneer & Historical Society. In January, we hit the ground running on opening night, enjoying huge success with an aweinspiring amount of visitors. We have had a large increase in our membership and immense community interaction on our Facebook page, which is now nearing 6,000 likes. We have taken a more active part in our community, participating in nearly every festival or craft show in Meigs County. Thanks to the tireless dedication of our volunteers and huge effort of our financial team, the Society is now able to do some truly wonderful things for the county. Currently we are in the process of having a new historical marker dedicated to James Edwin Campbell placed in Pomeroy’s Water Works Park, replacing the original marker irreparably damaged a few years ago. Additionally, the Society has set a goal of placing two historical markers somewhere in the county each year. These markers will memorialize either a person or place of significance, or a historical event occurring in an area near the marker’s site. And thanks to the generosity of The American Pomeroy Historic Genealogical Association in Syracuse, New York, the Society will oversee an anvil monument dedicated to the namesake of Pomeroy, Ohio, Samuel Wyllys Pomeroy. This monument will be placed along the Pomeroy walking path in spring of 2017, thereby linking Meigs County to the national Pomeroy Anvil Trail. More information can be found at http:// www.americanpomeroys. org/anvil-trail/about/. Our board of trustees has been the true driving force behind our success this year. We became a 100 percent volunteer staff, and our trustees have taken time out of their own lives for the preservation of Meigs County history. Thank you to the current board of trustees: Chloris GaulMcQuaid, Vicki Hanson, Amanda Windon-Faulk, Patty Grossnickle, Mary Grace Cowdery, Calee Pickens, Gary Coleman, Tanya Coleman, Shannon Scott, James Stanley, Debbie Pratt, Susan Clark-Dingess, Carrie Gloeckner, Jay Russell, and Lorna Hart. Additional credit is given to Liz Shaw for all of the work she has contributed to the Historical Society. As we look forward to 2017, we encourage you to become a member of the Historical Society. Your $15 membership is the best way to help us continue our work. Great things are on the horizon for Meigs County, and we welcome your help in preserving the history of Meigs County for future generations. Come all ye brisk young fellows…And we’ll settle on the banks of the lovely Ohio. Jordan Pickens is the president of the Meigs County Pioneer and Historical Society.

Others cite the CIA’s assessment that Russia engaged in computer hacking to sway the election in favor of the Republican. “When the founders of our country created (the Electoral College) 200-plus years ago, they didn’t have confidence in the average white man who had property, because that’s who got to vote,” said Shawn Terris, a Democratic elector from Ventura, California. “It just seems so undemocratic to me that people other than the voters get to choose who leads the country.” A joint session of Congress is scheduled for Jan. 6 to certify the results of the Electoral College vote, with Vice President Joe Biden presiding as president of the Senate.

OVCS gets by Grace in Covenant tourney TUPPERS PLAINS, Ohio — Everything you expect from a rivalry like this. The Waterford and Eastern girls basketball teams — who combined have two of the last three OHSAA Division IV state championships — battled through seven lead changes in the middle quarters, but ultimately it was the Lady Wildcats who claimed the 55-48 victory, on Saturday evening in Meigs County. Eastern (7-1, 4-1 TVC Hocking) scored the first five points of the game and never trailed in the opening stanza, claiming a 15-11 lead, eight minutes into play. EHS pushed its lead to seven points, 20-13, midway through the second period, but the Lady Wildcats (5-0, 4-0) used an 8-0 run to take their first lead of the game, with 1:27 left in the first half. Four more lead changes occurred in the remainder of the half, and WHS took a 25-24 advantage into the locker room. The Lady Eagles took a one-point lead on the opening basket of the second half, but WHS regained the lead with 5:44 left in the third, and never trailed again. Waterford ended the third quarter with a 41-35 lead and pushed its lead to double-digits, 49-39, with 1:55 remaining in the game. EHS cut the lead to six points with 1:21 left, but never came closer, as Waterford claimed the 55-48 victory. “We knew what we were getting with Waterford, we preached about it in practice, but I think seeing it opened the girls’ eyes just a little bit,” said EHS head coach Jacob Parker. “Yes, it is a loss on the scoreboard, and I don’t like losing, but it’s only a loss if you don’t learn from it. We’re just going to break down the film, learn from it, and get better.” Waterford has now won 41 straight TVC Hocking decisions, with the 2013-14 Lady Eagles being the last league team to defeat the Lady Wildcats.

Va. — Two consecutive nights, two consecutive victories. Exactly one night after capturing a home triumph over Hannan, the Ohio Valley Christian School boys basketball team found enough fuel in the tank to win its semifinal tilt on Friday night — as part of the annual Covenant Christian Christmas Tournament. The Defenders outscored Grace Christian 31-25 in the second half — and broke a 23-23 halftime tie to defeat the Soldiers 54-48. OVCS outscored Grace Christian 13-9 in the opening quarter, before the Soldiers reversed course and won the second stanza 14-10. OVCS edged the Soldiers 13-12 in the third frame, before amassing 18 points to Grace’s 13 in the final period. With the win, the Defenders raised their record to 4-2 —and advanced to Saturday’s (Dec. 17) CCCT championship bout against Cross Lanes Christian. The Defenders defeated CLCS inside the OVCS gym on Dec. 8, storming out to a 27-7 advantage — en route to winning 63-54. The loss left Grace Christian with a mark of 2-3. Hollis Morrison and Elijah McDonald paced Ohio Valley Christian with 17 and 15 points respectively, while Justin Beaver netted nine points. Morrison and McDonald made three threepointers apiece, as Morrison managed seven total field goals and McDonald five. Beaver buried three field goals and 3-of-4 free throws, while McDonald made 2-of-4 — part of a team 8-of-13. Austin Ragan recorded seven points, Andrew Dub dropped in four, and Nate Dub had two to round out the Defenders’ scoring. The Defenders drained half of their dozen threepoint attempts, and shot 14-of-40 for 35-percent from inside the arc. Despite being outrebounded 35-28, OVCS held the Soldiers to only 4-of-19 (21-percent) from long range. Grace Christian also shot only 2-of-5 free throws, as Andrew Dub was 2-of-2 and Ragan 1-of3. McDonald also grabbed a team-high nine rebounds, while Beaver boarded seven.

The Eastern boys basketball team shot 60 percent from the field and had three players reach double figures Friday night during a resounding 66-47 victory over visiting Wahama in a Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division matchup at the Eagle’s Nest in Meigs County. The Eagles (3-2, 3-1 TVC Hocking) found themselves in an 11-4 hole six minutes into regulation, but the hosts countered with a 23-10 surge over the final 10 minutes of the first half — allowing the Green and White to turn an 11-8 first period deficit into a 27-21 advantage at the break. The White Falcons (1-2, 1-2) lost their early cushion after a Corbett Catlett basket at the 7:01 mark gave EHS its first lead at 12-11, but the Red and White rallied back to tie things up at 13-all following a Randy Lantz trifecta with 5:59 remaining in the half. Jett Facemyer gave the Eagles a permanent lead 15 seconds later after converting a layup, which sparked a 14-5 charge over the next five minutes en route to a 27-18 edge with 34 seconds left. Travis Kearns, however, canned a trifecta with 20 seconds remaining, allowing WHS to close to within two possessions at the intermission. The White Falcons twice closed to within four points in the third stanza, the last of which occurred at 29-25 following a basket by Lantz with 5:18 remaining. The hosts followed with six straight points from Jett Facemyer as part of an 11-0 surge over the next three-plus minutes, giving Eastern a commanding 40-25 lead with 1:51 left. Wahama snapped a 4:50 scoreless drought as Mason Hildreth converted a basket with 1:27 left, sparking a small 4-2 run to end the third period with a 42-29 contest. WHS was never closer than 11 points (42-31) down the stretch and Eastern led by as many as 20 points on three separate occasions in the Bryan Walters/OVP Sports Eastern senior Jon Wolfe (20) releases a shot attempt over a Wahama defender during the first half of Friday night’s TVC Hocking boys basketball contest in Tuppers Plains, Ohio. fourth quarter, the last of which came at 58-38 following a pair of free throws by Sharp Facemyer with 2:44 left. The White Falcons closed regulation with a small 9-8 run to wrap up the 19-point outcome. The Eagles showed great patience offensively, netting 27-of-45 field goal attempts overall — including a 2-of-4 effort from behind the arc. Wahama, conversely, was 19-of-39 from the floor for 39 percent, including a 4-of-7 effort from three-point range for 57 percent. Following his team’s second straight win and third victory in four contests, EHS coach Jeremy Hill was pleased with just about every aspect of the Eagles first home win of the year — especially the one part that they have spent so much time on recently. “After the Fed Hock game, we realized that our defense wasn’t very good. We’ve put a lot of time and effort into our defense this week in practice, and I think it showed tonight,” Hill said. “These kids have always played hard, but there is a difference between playing hard and playing with intensity. Tonight, we played with intensity and we played together as a team — and I think everybody enjoyed what we did on the court tonight. “It’s a good win for us and we seem to have some momentum going forward. I’m very proud of the effort from our guys tonight.” WHS coach Ron Bradley was equally impressed with Eastern’s overall showing, which was more than he could admit about his own troops afterwards. “I didn’t like the demeanor of our kids before the game. I could see it in their faces and in their actions that they weren’t mentally ready to play,” Bradley said. “Eastern just came out and flat handed it to us. They were ready to play and they were hungry, so give them all of the credit for that. The team that wanted the win tonight got it. “This was about desire and want to … and we didn’t want to tonight. We are not a good enough basketball team to just show up to a game and win. We definitely have some things to work on over the next few weeks.” Jett Facemyer led Eastern with a game-high 31 points, which included the first six EHS points to go along with 21 second half markers. Garrett Barringer was next with 11 points, while Catlett chipped in 10 points and Jon Wolfe added nine. Sharp Facemyer and Owen Arix rounded out the winning tally with respective efforts of three and two points. The hosts were 10-of-13 at the free throw line for 77 percent. Lantz paced WHS with 10 points, followed by Kearns and Philip Hoffman with nine markers apiece. Jacob Lloyd also added eight markers, including half of the team’s four trifectas. Hildreth was next with seven points and Noah Litchfield rounded things out with four points. The guests were 5-of-13 at the charity stripe for 38 percent.

Blue Devils capture Vinton County Invite By Paul Boggs pboggs@civitasmedia.com McARTHUR, Ohio — About the only thing that slowed down the Gallia Academy High School wrestling squad on Saturday was the weather. Otherwise, even by winning by only a single point — and wrestling without four starters — the Blue Devils did indeed capture the annual Vinton County Invitational. Bolstered by winning five individual weight classes, and placing in all but three, the Blue Devils edged Zane Trace 237236 to claim the team championship. The Blue Devils didn’t compete in the 126pound, 138-pound and heavyweight classes, as Zane Trace filled all the weights except for 126 — and won four individual titles. However, the Blue Devils did utilize their lightweight depth, as Gallia Academy took three of the top four spots at 106 — and had two placers at 113. Gallia Academy’s five champions were Caleb Greenlee at 106, Jared Stevens at 120, Kaleb Crisenbery at 152, Lane Pullins at 160 and Hunter Jacks at 182. While Greenlee won his championship bout with a pin in 23 seconds, and Crisenbery did the same in 32 ticks, perhaps the most critical wins were Jacks’ third-period pinfall in his title bout — along with Pullins prevailing in his championship match in overtime. Jacks needed five-anda-half minutes to pin Hillsboro senior Austin Miller, while Pullins won with an 8-6 decision over Vinton County’s Tim Bunnell. “The team scored every point they could to win by one point,” said GAHS coach Todd May. “Our team stepped up. This is the second tournament we have won this year and they are work- ing hard. It was a great team effort.” Saturday’s invitational featured 16 teams, 14 of which that scored points. After Gallia Academy (237) and Zane Trace (236), host Vinton County was third with 182 points, followed closely by Hillsboro (177), Unioto (161), Jackson (155) and Westfall (136). Meigs, which was spearheaded by its only weight-class champion in senior Trae Hood, placed eighth with 87 points. For the Blue Devils, and in addition to Greenlee, Jason Stroud was second and Kenton Ramsey fourth at 106. Kyle Greenlee was the runner-up at 113, as Corbin Walker was sixth in the same weight class. Justin Day (132), Kaden Ehman (145) and Logan Griffith (220) all placed fifth for Gallia Academy, while Darren Owens (195) and Andrew Mullins (170) both placed eighth. Hood led the Maraud- ers with his 220-pound championship, pinning Jared Conn of Hillsboro in three minutes and 18 seconds for the title. The remainder of the Marauders all finished fourth or lower — as Nathaniel Gearheart was fourth at 152. Other Meigs placers included Tucker Smith (132), Grant Adams (170) and Keynath Rowe (182) taking sixth, Brandon Justis (220) sporting seventh, and Clayton Hanna (106) ending up eighth. Zane Trace’s four champions were Jordan Hoselton (113), Dawson Hoselton (145), Austin Carroll (195) and Tanner Kunz (285). Other weight-class champions included Wyatt Webb of Vinton County at 126, Wes Davenport of Unioto at 132, Ben Davenport of Unioto at 170, and Kyle Kirby of Jackson at 138.

Va. — Consider it an early Christmas present for Elijah McDonald — and the remainder of the Ohio Valley Christian School boys basketball squad. That’s because the senior sharpshooter McDonald scored his 1,000th career point on Saturday, and the Defenders defeated rival Cross Lanes Christian 56-36 to capture the championship of the annual Covenant Christian Christmas Classic. McDonald, amid making six total field goals and 7-of-8 free throws towards 24 points, managed his 1,000th career point in the process. McDonald drilled five three-pointers on a dozen attempts as part of those 24 markers, becoming the seventh player in OVCS boys basketball history to join the 1,000-point club. Austin Ragan racked up 14 points and Hollis Morrison added 10, as the Defenders drained eight trifectas as a team — out of 21 total attempts for 38-percent. Ragan rained in a pair and Morrison made one. Justin Beaver, on two field goals and 2-of-2 free throws, boasted six points — as those four aforementioned Defenders were named to the GLENVILLE, W. Va. — Doug Workman went off yet again. As a result, the Big Blacks are IOGA champions. That’s because the senior sharp-shooting guard Workman poured in a career-high 39 points, and Point Pleasant posted a 71-57 victory over Braxton County in Saturday’s Class AA boys championship tilt of the inaugural Independent Oil & Gas Association basketball classic. The week-long event was held inside the Waco Center on the campus of Glenville State College, and the Big Blacks made the IOGA their personal playground for two days. On Wednesday, in the Class AA semifinals, Point Pleasant pushed past Nicholas County 67-50. Workman went for 16 points in that contest — his first game since amassing 38 points, including seven three-pointers, in the Big Blacks’ 66-64 overtime triumph at Gallia Academy on Dec. 9. On Saturday, he dialed in for five threes and 10 twos, and added four free throws for 39 — over half of his club’s 71 points. In fact, he bagged all five of those treys in the first half, as Point Pleasant led 19-12 following the first quarter — and 41-23 at halftime. Workman managed 10 points in the opening period, and tallied 13 — including three triples — of the Big Blacks’ 22 markers in the second stanza. But Workman wasn’t the only red-hot Big Black on Saturday. Cason Payne, Parker Rairden and Cameron Long landed second-quarter trifectas as well, giving the Big Blacks nine first-half threes — part of 10 for the entire game. Rairden rained in a three-ball in the first period, while Will Harbour hit the final one in the last. Rairden finished with 10 points on four field goals, as Harbour had four field goals for nine points. Payne and Austin Liptrap scored five points apiece to round out the Big Blacks’ scoring. Both had two field goals, as Liptrap made a third-quarter free throw. Braxton did outscore Point Pleasant in the second half 34-30, including 18-12 in the third frame. Cole Browning bucketed eight total field goals, including both of his squad’s two threes, towards a team-high 18 points. Browning boasted eight of the Eagles’ 11 second-period points, including both triples. Tayton Stout scored 16 points on six field goals and four made foul shots, while Garrett Shingler sank four baskets for eight. The Big Blacks are now 3-1 with a three-game win streak, and will welcome Nitro tonight (Tuesday, Dec. 20) for their home opener.

It was also OVCS’ second win in 10 days over Cross Lanes Christian, which the host Defenders downed 63-54 back on Dec. 8. On Saturday, OVCS actually outrebounded the taller Warriors 30-23, and stymied Cross Lanes into a paltry 2-of-17 shooting from three-point range. Both teams shot 11-of25 for 40-percent from inside the arc, but the big difference was the 24 points the Defenders dialed up in three-balls. Ragan registered six total field goals and Morrison made four, as Asher Peck posted a basket to round out the Defenders’ scoring. Beaver and Ragan recorded six rebounds apiece, while Morrison mustered five as Ragan dished out five assists. OVCS held a 19-13 advantage in total field goals. The Defenders return to the road, and return to action tonight, when they travel to Wood County Christian for a 7:30 p.m. tip.

That’s because the visiting White Falcons were outscored by Belpre 19-4 in the opening quarter — en route to suffering a 61-35 loss in a Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division girls basketball bout on Saturday. The Golden Eagles also won the second stanza 15-9 to lead 34-13 at halftime, as Belpre took the third period 14-8 to lead 48-21. Wahama won the fourth frame 14-13 for the 61-35 final, but the loss was its 57th consecutive inside the TVC-Hocking. The White Falcons fell to 1-5 — and 0-4 in the league, while Belpre boosted its division record to a perfect 5-0, part of 7-1 overall. The Golden Eagles amassed a 25-12 advantage in total field goals, including a 6-0 shutout from outside the three-point arc. The White Falcons did sink 11-of-16 free throws, including 5-of-8 in the second quarter, 2-of-4 by Hannah Rose in the third — and finally 4-of-4 by Maddy VanMatre in the fourth. VanMatre, on three field goals and 7-of-10 free throws, led the Lady Falcons with 13 points. She was 3-of-6 in the second quarter, as Lauren Bissell made 2-of-2 in the same frame. Rose, who made two field goals in both the second and fourth cantos, registered 10 points. Elizabeth Mullins managed three baskets for six points, as she and Gracie VanMeter had the club’s only buckets in the first. Grace Haddox had a third-quarter field goal to round out Wahama’s scoring. Cheyenne Barker, on nine total field goals including five three-pointers, poured in 24 points to pace Belpre. Daisy Cowdery finished with five field goals for 10 points, while Kaitlin Richards recorded four field goals for eight.

Their fifth straight victory came a whole new way. Call it the kick-6. Chris Boswell tied the club record with six field goals, and Ben Roethlisberger threw a touchdown pass in the fourth quarter Sunday, rallying Pittsburgh to a 24-20 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals that kept the Steelers in control of the division. “We’ve said we’ll win the game how we have to win it,” Roethlisberger said. In Cincinnati, they win every which way. The Steelers (9-5) won their fourth in a row at Paul Brown Stadium, taking advantage of more meltdown moments by the defending division champions. And now they can clinch the North by beating the Ravens (8-6) at Heinz Field next Sunday. “A lot of guys are treating this like it’s the playoffs already,” linebacker Ryan Shazier said. The Bengals (5-8-1) had some playoff flashbacks. Last January, Cincin- ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — Joe Haden is still searching for answers, knowing he and the Cleveland Browns have two chances left to avoid matching the NFL’s record for futility. “Trying to figure out what we could have done better, what I could have done better,” Haden said. “We come in here every single week after a loss, and it’s just tough. It gets harder and harder, but it’s nobody that can change it but us.” The veteran cornerback spoke Sunday after the Browns dropped to 0-14 following a 33-13 loss to the Buffalo Bills . Cleveland matched the worst record to this point in a season, set by the 1976 Buccaneers and 1980 Saints and the 2008 Lions. Detroit is the NFL’s only team to go without a win in a 16-game season. First-year coach Hue Jackson isn’t ruling out anything when it comes to helping the Browns find that elusive win and end an 0-17 streak dating to last season. “Everything is going to be on the table,” said Jackson, adding that includes quarterback after Robert Griffin III was inconsistent in making his second straight start. “We have nowhere to go up, but we have a lot of work to do,” he added. “This wasn’t my dream by any stretch of imagination. But I’m not running from this.” Funny Jackson should mention “running,” because their defense was unable to stop the Bills from running all over them.

Penalties on Vontaze Burfict and Adam “Pacman” Jones set up Boswell’s 35-yard field goal in the closing seconds. Burfict and Jones got personal fouls again on Sunday as the animosity carried over. Burfict tackled Roethlisberger after he got rid of the ball, and Jones was flagged for taunting. “They let Pittsburgh do whatever they wanted to,” Bengals cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick fumed. “They should’ve been call- ing stuff on them, too.” Running back Jeremy Hill had an early take-that moment as the Bengals scored on each of their first four possessions for a 20-6 lead. As part of his touchdown celebration, he grabbed a Terrible Towel a fan threw on the field, tried to tear it, and then threw it to the ground. Boswell brought them back kick by kick, accounting for Pittsburgh’s first 15 points with field goals of 45, 49, 49, 40, 49 and 30 yards into a gusting wind. “They didn’t look pretty, they didn’t go over by much, but they went in,” said Boswell, who got a game ball. In the end, there was yet another Bengals meltdown . They had penalties on four consecutive plays — including Pat Sims’ personal foul — that set up Roethlisberger’s 24-yard touchdown pass to Eli Rogers for a 24-20 lead. The Steelers appreciated the help. “You just kind of smirk and move on,” guard Ramon Foster said. OTHER KICK-6S Gary Anderson (1988 vs. Denver) and Jeff Reed (2002 vs. Jacksonville) also kicked six field goals for the Steelers, who beat the Broncos 39-21 and the Jaguars 25-23 in those contests.
