Meigs County Prosecuting Attorney James K. Stanley states that on Feb. 12, the Ohio Fourth District Court of Appeals afﬁrmed the judgment of the trial court in the State’s case against Richard Barnhart, Jr. In January 2018, Barnhart was convicted of two counts of Aggravated Vehicular Homicide, each a felony of the ﬁrst degree, Vehicular Manslaughter, a misdemeanor of the ﬁrst degree, and two counts of Operating a Vehicle Under the Inﬂuence (OVI), each a felony of the fourth degree. The charges stemmed from a trafﬁc crash that occurred on Jan. 13, 2017, along State Route 143 at the bottom of Horner Hill. Barnhart was operating the crashed vehicle with a suspended license and with a blood-alcohol level of .269, which was in excess of three times the legal limit in the State of Ohio. Barnhart was partially ejected and suffered injury as a result of the crash. Barnhart’s passenger was ejected from the vehicle and died from injuries suffered as a result of the crash. Prior to trial, Barnhart ﬁled a motion to suppress that requested the trial court to suppress the State’s evidence relating to his blood alcohol content at the time of the crash. After a hearing and supplemental brieﬁng, the trial court denied the motion to suppress. At trial, Barnhart argued that he was not the operator of the vehicle, and even if he was the operator of the vehicle, he did not cause the crash. The State presented evidence that Barnhart was the operator of the vehicle, that Barnhart caused the crash, and that Barnhart’s passenger died as a result of the crash. After two days of testimony, the jury convicted Barnhart of all counts. Meigs County Court of Common Pleas Judge I. Carson Crow sentenced Barnhart to 14 years in prison. Following trial, Barnhart ﬁeld a motion for a new trial, claiming newly discovered evidence showed that he was not guilty of the offenses. After a hearing and supplemental brieﬁng, the trial court denied the motion for a new trial. On Appeal, Barnhart argued that the trial court erred by failing to grant a new trial, that the trial court erred by denying his motion to suppress, that the guilty verdict was against the manifest weight of the evidence, and that Barnhart’s trial counsel provided ineffective assistance of counsel in regards to obtaining an afﬁdavit in support of a motion for a new trial. The State submitted a brief in opposition, and oral argument was held before the Ohio Fourth District Court of Appeals in Chillicothe, Ohio.

And in a potential blow to the U.S.’s effort to rally its allies on the issue, British media reported that U.K. intelligence agencies found it’s possible to limit the security risks of using Chinese equipment in so-called 5G networks. The U.S. argues that Beijing might use Chinese tech companies to gather intelligence about foreign countries. The Trump administration has pressured allies to shun networks supplied by Huawei Technologies, threatening the company’s access to markets for next-generation wireless gear. ‘Huawei, the biggest global maker of switching gear for phone and internet companies, denies accusations it facilitates Chinese spying and said it would reject any government demands to disclose conﬁdential information about foreign customers. The U.S. government is trying to “fabricate an excuse for suppressing the legitimate development” of Chinese enterprises, said the spokesman for the Chinese foreign ministry, Geng Shuang. He accused the United States of using “political means” to interfere in economic activity, “which is hypocritical, immoral and unfair bullying.” U.S. Vice President Mike Pence, speaking last weekend in Germany, urged European allies to take seriously “the threat” he said was posed by Huawei as they look for partners to build the new 5G mobile networks. The 5G technology is meant to vastly expand the reach of networks to support internet-linked medical equipment, factory machines, self-driving cars and other devices. That makes it more politically sensitive and raises the potential cost of security failures. Pence said Huawei and other Chinese telecom equipment makers provide Beijing with “access to any data that touches their network or equipment.” He appealed to European governments to “reject any enterprise that would compromise the integrity of our communications technology or our national security systems.” In what could amount to a turning point for the U.S. effort to isolate Huawei, Britain’s National Cyber Security Centre has found that the risk of using its networks is manageable, according to the Financial Times and several other British media outlets. The reports cited anonymous sources as saying that there are ways to limit cybersecurity risks, and that the U.K.’s decision would carry weight with European allies who are also evaluating the safety of their networks. The British government is to ﬁnish a review of its policies on the safety of 5G in March or April. The ofﬁce of British Prime Minister Theresa May said Monday that “no decisions have been taken.” If eventually conﬁrmed, “such a decision by the U.K. would be a strong message and could be inﬂuential in the medium term,” said Lukasz Olejnik, a research associate at Oxford University’s Center for Technology and Global Affairs. The British review “could inevitably serve as an input or a reference point in other countries’ risk assessments,” he added. European ofﬁcials, including a vice president of the European Union, have expressed concern about Chinese regulations issued last year that require companies to cooperate with intelligence agencies. No country in Europe, however, has issued a blanket veto on using Huawei technology in the way the U.S. has urged. The U.S. Justice Department last month unsealed charges against Huawei, its chief ﬁnancial ofﬁcer — who had been arrested in Canada — and several of the companies’ subsidiaries, alleging not only violation of trade sanctions but also the theft of trade secrets.

Protests slam Trump’s emergency declaration NEW YORK (AP) — Protesters converged in cities around the country Monday to decry President Donald Trump’s declaration of a national emergency to fund his planned U.S.-Mexico border wall. Organized by the liberal group MoveOn and others, the demonstrations took the occasion of Presidents Day to assail Trump’s proclamation as undemocratic and antiimmigrant. “Trump is the national emergency!” chanted a group of hundreds lined up at the White House fence, where some held up large letters spelling out “stop power grab.” In downtown Fort Worth, Texas, a small group carried signs with messages including “no wall! #FakeTrumpEmergency.” In Newark, New Jersey, Kelly Quirk told a gathering of dozens that “democracy demands” saying “no more” to Trump. “There are plenty of real emergencies to invest our tax dollars in,” said Quirk, part of a local progressive group called LM Otero | AP Carolyn Hursh, right, and Joey Daniel, carry a sign during a protest with others Monday in downtown Fort Worth, Texas. People gathered on Presidents Day to protest President Donald Trump’s recent national emergency declaration. Soma Action. There were some counter-protesters, including in Washington, where there was a brief scufﬂe in the crowd. Trump’s declaration Friday shifts billions of dollars from military construction to the border. The move came after Congress didn’t approve as much as Trump wanted for the wall, which the Republican considers a national security necessity. His emergency proclamation calls the border “a major entry point for criminals, gang members, and illicit narcotics.” Illegal border crossings have declined from a high of 1.6 million in 2000. But 50,000 families are now entering illegally each month, straining the U.S. asylum system and border facilities. Trump’s declaration is facing legal challenges, and critics have argued he undercut his own rationale for the emergency declaration by saying he “didn’t need to do this” but wanted to get the wall built faster than he otherwise could. “President Trump declared a national emergency in order to spend billions of taxpayer dollars on his border wall obsession,” Manar Waheed of the American Civil Liberties Union told protesters rallying in a Washington park before heading to the nearby White House fence. The ACLU has announced its intention to sue Trump over the issue. Ana Maria Archila, coexecutive director of the left-leaning Center for Popular Democracy, said the president had undertaken to “steal money that we desperately need to build a country of our dreams so that he can build a monument to racism along the border.” At one point during the rally, a counter-protester walked through the crowd toting a sign saying “ﬁnish the wall” on one side and “protect the poor” on the other. Another man snatched his sign from him, sparking a short scufﬂe. Trump, meanwhile, was in Florida.

Stephen Duncan, New Haven and Community Fire Department chief, said the call came in about 9:30 p.m. for the house, which is located on High Street. The blaze is believed to have started in an upstairs bedroom due to an electrical issue, he said. According to a family member, the house was owned by Joe and Evelyn Lane. It was occupied by the Lane couple, as well as their daughter, son-inlaw, two granddaughters, and two great-granddaughters. Assisting at the scene were the Mason and Middleport fire departments.

The appel late court found that that the trial court did not err by not granting a new trial, that the trial court did not err by denying Barnhart’s motion to suppress, that the guilty verdict was not against the manifest weight of the evi dence, and that Barnhart’s trial counsel did not provide ineffective assistance of counsel in regards to obtain ing an affidavit in support of a motion for a new trial. Barnhart remains in prison, and his term does not expire until December 2031. “I am pleased with the Fourth District’s decision,” Stanley said. “This affirms the jury’s verdict, and justice can continue to be done for the victim.” Stanley thanked the Ohio State Highway Patrol, the Meigs County Sheriff’s Office, the Rutland Volunteer Fire Department, Meigs EMS, the coroner, and the staff at the Meigs County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office and the Meigs County Victim Assistance Program for their assistance in this matter.

N Carolina elections head says ballots handled illegally By Emery P. Dalesio Associated Press RALEIGH, N.C. —A Republican operative, who last year rounded up votes for a GOP candidate running for Congress, conducted an illegal and well-funded ballot-harvesting opera tion, North Carolina’s elections director said Monday. The director’s testi mony came on the first day of a hearing into whether mail-in ballots were tampered with a in race for the state’s 9th congressional district seat that saw Republi can Mark Harris nar rowly defeat Democrat Dan McCready. The race wasn’t certified, leaving the country’s only congres sional election without a declared winner. The elections board is expected to either declare a winner or order a new election after the hearing. “The evidence that we will provide today will show that a coor dinated, unlawful and substantially resourced absentee ballot scheme operated in the 2018 general election” in rural Bladen and Robe son counties, which are part of North Carolina’s 9th congressional dis trict, state elections director Kim Strach said at the start of a state elections board hearing.

He also moved the Weaver Skiff Works business next door at the corner of 5th and Vine Streets in Racine. Boone would continue to build skiffs at this location and serve as bank director until his death in 1978. During his tenure as bank director, he oversaw the consolidation of Racine Home Bank and First National Bank of Racine to become Home National Bank of Racine. A year after Boone’s death, Weaver Skiff Works was sold to Gordon Winebrinner who continued the busi ness for many years. Ironically, when Gordon Winebrinner was less than two weeks old, he was transported to safety in a Weaver skiff during the great flood of 1937. Coming full circle, Gor don went on to build the same pattern boat that saved his life those many years ago. It was noted in Meigs County History: Volume II that Gordon had much respect for Boone, and he consid ered it an honor to carry on his traditions.

Keep you just texted. your underpants under “But I clicked the your pants. privacy button!” And people will put a spin on what they think you meant. And our perception is our reality. “But that’s not what I meant!” Too late—the Twitter patrol has blasted you. Don’t litter on your Twitter—trashy words are offensive. And you must abide by the Twitter rules. Insensitive tweeting can stir up support from human rights activists across the globe. Walk a mile in another person’s tweeting shoes before you judge her/his person-hood. Controversial opinions can ﬂare tempers. Posting abusive comments can get you sacked and word smacked. Media mobs will demand your resignation. Nowadays, one must be careful about joking via Twitter—not all senses of humor are alike. Joking about natural disasters where death occurred can have repercussions. Just ask Gilbert Gottfried. He lost the Aﬂac duck job for tweeting a joke pertaining to the tsunami. And he is a comedian who is paid to be funny and sarcastic. His tweeting goose got cooked by foul ﬁngers. Hush-hush. Tweeting secrets about the workplace, the boss, and coworkers is not wise. A gossip guru may retweet your responses. Conﬁdential information revealed over the tweeting airwaves is not a prudent decision. And your dirty laundry could go viral. Keep your underpants under your pants. Some adults squabble like young children on Twitter with accusations and name-calling. “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but tweets will never hurt me.” Wrong. Tweets can devastate. Tweets can cause harm. Tweets can get you ostracized. And the continuous question: Should President Trump tweet? I say no—what say you? Using Twitter as a political playground is twaddle. It appears the First Amendment does not apply to Twitter tweets. “Social media has turned into a freelance surveillance state. Let’s give each other a break,” opined Megan McArdle, a Washington Post columnist. Haven’t we all blurted out something regrettable? Does a sincere apology warrant a shunning? Do Twitterites show no mercy for mistakes, blunders, and faux pas? Tweeters only get 280 characters to say what they want to say. So no long boring stories allowed. Can typed words travel faster than the speed of light? I don’t know but slow down those thumbs or ﬁngers. Pause, breathe, and think before you tweet. Inhale and exhale prior to pressing “send.” Read it before you tweet it. Read it again before you send. Nonetheless, Twitter isn’t good or bad—it’s neutral. It’s how humans use it that makes it a wand or a weapon. Twitter is full of people with interesting things to say; sharing ideas, opinions, and reﬂections. Diverse viewpoints are presented. Twitter is a platform for communicating. Nonetheless, once you tweet it—it’s etched in stone. So be cautious, cognizant, and careful when tweeting.

THEIR VIEW Caring for special-needs adults Many people have children with special needs such as Down syndrome, developmental disabilities and even autism at the more extreme ends of that spectrum. As minors, our children with special needs can be legally cared for very similarly to the way we care for minors without special needs. However, when our offspring with special needs become adults, there are unique challenges that implicate special responsibilities on our parts. The ﬁrst consideration as to adults with special needs is ensuring our ability to assist them with decision-making. If the adult is mentally competent as a matter of law, the adult may be able to sign powers of attorney that name family or friends as agents to make decisions for the special needs adult. If an adult with special needs is not sufﬁciently legally competent mentally to sign powers of attorney, parents or other family members should undertake a guardianship proceeding to become to Medicaid and a legal guardian other government of the adult with assistance prospecial needs. grams.

Second, parents can establish a special needs trust either as a standalone tool or as a component tool in a basic revocable living trust. A special needs trust that will distribute assets that will not simply be reimbursement to Medicaid and other government programs must be prepared with very precise language and components. An effective special needs trust has numerous requirements, usually including a rule that disinherits the beneﬁciary (the special needs adult in this instance) if the assets in the trust are considered “available” for purposes of Medicaid or other government program eligibility.

Rio Grande baseball records sweep of IU South Bend By Randy Payton For Ohio Valley Publishing WESTFIELD, Ind. — The University of Rio Grande parlayed a big day at the plate by Clayton Surrell and some strong pitching into a doubleheader sweep of Indiana University South Bend, Saturday afternoon, in non-conference baseball action at Grand Park. The RedStorm posted a 7-2 win in the opener and a 13-2 triumph in the nightcap, running its record to 8-5 in the process. IU South Bend was playing its season-opening contests. Surrell - a freshman from Carroll, Ohio - went 2-for-4 with a double and three RBI in the game one victory, while going 2-for-4 with a double and four RBI in the back end of the twin bill. Senior right-hander Zach Harvey (Kenova, WV) went the distance in the opener, allowing ﬁve hits and the two runs while walking one and striking out 10. Junior right-hander Zach Kendall (Troy, OH) earned the game two win, allowing four hits and ﬁve walks over four innings. He allowed an unearned run and struck out four. Sophomore Caleb Fetzer (Van Wert, OH) and freshman Trevor Gerstenberger (Jackson, OH) combined to allow two hits and a run, while striking out ﬁve over the ﬁnal three innings. Rio Grande rallied from a 2-0 deﬁcit in the ﬁrst game, scoring four times in the ﬁfth inning and three times in the seventh. Senior David Rodriguez (Santo Domingo, D.R.), junior Eli Daniels (Minford, OH) and Surrell all had run-scoring hits in the four-run ﬁfth, while Surrell added a two-run single in the three-run seventh. Daniels ﬁnished 3-for-4 with a triple, while freshman Brandon Pritchard (Zanesville, OH) had two hits in the winning effort. Junior Dylan Shockley (Minford, OH) and junior Santiago Martinez (Gahanna, OH) both doubled for the RedStorm. Jordan Moore had two hits and a drove in a run for the Titans. Troy Cullen, the second of three pitchers for IUSB, took the loss. Game two saw Rio pull away late, scoring ﬁve times in the ﬁfth inning, four times in the sixth and twice in the seventh to break open a nip-andtuck affair. The key play in the ﬁve-run ﬁfth was a two-out error on junior Kent Reeser’s (Miamisburg, OH) See SWEEP | 10 OVP SPORTS SCHEDULE Tuesday, Feb. 19 Boys Basketball Point Pleasant at Wayne, 6 p.m. (7) Gallia Academy vs. (10) River Valley at Southeastern HS, 8 p.m. Girls Basketball Wahama at Parkersburg Catholic, 7 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 20 Boys Basketball (7) South Gallia vs. (10) Miller at Meigs HS, 8 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 21 Boys Basketball Ripley at Point Pleas- ant, 6 p.m. Wrestling WVSSAC Championships, 6:30 Friday, Feb. 22 Boys Basketball Meigs-SP winner vs. (1) Wheelersburg at Jackson HS, 6 p.m. Tolsia at Hannan, 6:30 Wrestling WVSSAC Championships, 11:30 D-3 sectionals at Blanchester HS, 5 p.m. D-2 sectionals at Alexander HS, 6 p.m. Photos by Alex Hawley | OVP Sports Eastern senior Alyson Bailey (24) drives past Miller junior Ashley Spencer (5), during the Lady Eagles’ 15-point sectional title victory on Saturday in Rocksprings, Ohio. Lady Eagles win sectional title Eastern tops Miller in D-4 sectional final, 56-41 By Alex Hawley ahawley@aimmediamidwest.com ROCKSPRINGS, Ohio — A fabulous 14th, either way you look at it. The Eastern girls basketball team claimed its 14th victory of the season and its 14 consecutive sectional title on Saturday in Meigs High School’s Larry R. Morrison Gymnasium, with the second-seeded Lady Eagles defeating No. 7 seed Miller by a 56-41 tally. Eastern (14-8) never trailed in the contest, scoring the ﬁrst four points, before the Lady Falcons (11-10) tied it up at four. The Lady Eagles scored 13 of the next 15 points and led by double digits, at 17-6, with 41 seconds left in the opening quarter. Miller scored the last two points of the ﬁrst quarter and the ﬁrst two of the second, cutting the EHS lead to 17-10. The Lady Eagles claimed eight of the next nine points, however, and led 25-11 by the midway point of the period. The teams each scored six points over the rest of the half, and Eastern took a 31-17 lead into the break. The Lady Falcons opened the second half with a three-pointer, but Eastern senior Jess Parker (2) hits a three-pointer, during the first quarter of the Lady Eagles’ 56-41 victory in the Division IV sectional final on Saturday in Rocksprings, Ohio. Eastern claimed the next four points and led 35-20 with 4:50 left in the third. MHS closed the quarter with a 9-to-5 spurt, cutting the Lady Eagle lead to 40-29 with eight minutes to play. Miller — which had three players foul out in the fourth — cut its deﬁcit to single digits twice in the opening minute of the stanza, but never made it closer than nine. Eastern led by as many as 18 points down the stretch, hitting 10-of-14 free throws in the fourth quarter to help seal the 56-41 victory and the sectional crown. Following the program’s 14th straight sectional title, third-year EHS head coach Jacob Parker noted that each championship is still special and talked about keys to the victory, including clutch free throw shooting. “It means a lot, I think a lot of programs take certain things for granted, but every championship is great,” Parker said. “I love being a part of them, and I love getting the opportunity to go back to Jackson, it’s a fun place to play. “I’m proud of the girls, they played hard, they knew their assignments and played a good game. We’re shooting a lot of free throws right now, so I’m very glad we’re hitting those shots. I thought we shot the ball at a decent percentage today, and that’s what you have to do come tournament time.” For the game, EHS was 25-of-33 (75.8 percent) from the free throw line, where Miller was 10-of25 (40 percent). Eastern made 14-of-50 (28 percent) ﬁeld goal attempts, including 1-of-13 (7.7 percent) three-point tries, while MHS was 14-of-47 (29.8 percent) from the ﬁeld, including 3-of-15 (20 percent) from deep. The Lady Eagles claimed a 36-to-30 rebounding edge, with each team grabbing 10 offensive boards. The victors combined for 12 steals, eight assists and two rejections, while Miller ended up with eight assists, six steals and one block. The Lady Eagle offense was led by Alyson Bailey with 18 points, featuring a 10-of-12 performance from the free throw line. Jess Parker made the team’s lone three-pointer and ﬁnished with 13 points, to go along with team-highs of seven rebounds and ﬁve assists. Kennadi Rockhold came up with nine points and six rebounds, Kelsey Casto contributed eight points to the winning cause, Olivia Barber added six points and six rebounds, while Whitney Durst chipped in with two points. Eastern’s defensive effort was led by Parker and Rockhold with three See SECTIONAL | 10 �Daily Sentinel SPORTS/TV Lady Vikings oust River Valley, 62-31 By Bryan Walters bwalters@aimmediamidwest.com WELLSTON, Ohio — If nothing else, the Lady Raiders went down swinging. The River Valley girls basketball team put up a quality ﬁght for roughly ﬁve minutes, but topseeded Vinton County ultimately used a 10-0 surge over the ﬁnal 2:38 of the ﬁrst quarter to pull away for a 62-31 victory on Saturday in a Division II sectional ﬁnal at Wellston High School in Jackson County. The eighth-seeded Lady Raiders (6-18) led 4-2 and found themselves knotted up at 9-all with 2:52 remaining in the opening canto, but the Lady Vikings (21-1) countered with back-toback trifectas over the next 50 seconds that eventually sparked a 10-0 run that resulted in a 19-9 edge through eight minutes of play. The Silver and Black were again within four possessions following a Hannah Jacks basket at the 5:27 mark of the second frame, but VCHS ended the half with a 16-6 charge that turned a 23-11 contest into a comfortable 39-17 cushion at the break. The Lady Raiders were never closer than 41-19 with 6:51 left in the third, and the hosts used a small 10-7 spurt from there to increase their lead out to 51-26 entering the ﬁnale. The Maroon and Gray scored 10 consecutive points and secured their largest lead of the game at 61-26 following a Morgan Bentley free throw with 4:22 remaining. River Valley — which missed its ﬁrst eight shot attempts in the fourth — ended its drought with a Kaylee Gillman trifecta at the 3:30 mark, which ultimately sparked a 5-1 run to close out the 31-point outcome. The Lady Vikings — who also defeated River Valley twice in the regular season en route to winning the Tri-Valley Conference Ohio Division title — advance to face fourth-seeded Miami Trace in a district semiﬁnal on Thursday at Southeastern High School. River Valley mustered a tournament victory for the second time in as many postseasons after knocking off Jackson to reach the sectional ﬁnal, plus had ﬁve times as many victories over the course of the regular season. There’s still room for improvement moving forward, but RVHS coach Stephen Roderick noted that his troops gave an incredible effort against the highest ranked team in the bracket for as long as they could. He also mentioned that his ﬁve seniors — Cierra Roberts, Lexi Stout, Beth Gillman, Kelsey Brown and Destiny Dotson — should take a lot of pride in their contributions in getting the Lady Raider program to a better place. I told the girls after the game that I could not deny our effort. Vinton County is the top seed in the bracket for a reason, but our girls didn’t back down and hung around with them a little longer than most people might have expected,” Roderick said. “They started putting together a couple of runs around the end of the ﬁrst and the start Tuesday, February 19, 2019 7 Quick start fuels No. 9 WVU Tech past RedStorm men By Randy Payton For Ohio Valley Publishing Photos by Bryan Walters | OVP Sports River Valley senior Cierra Roberts (1) dribbles the ball up the court during the first half of Saturday’s Division II girls basketball sectional final against Vinton County at Wellston High School in Wellston, Ohio. BECKLEY, W.Va. — The University of Rio Grande entered Saturday afternoon’s regular season ﬁnale riding a three-game winning streak. West Virginia University-Tech found itself playing for a national tournament berth and a division championship. And for good measure, it was Senior Day for the Golden Bears. Advantage home team. Elisha Boone scored 16 of his game-high 22 points in the ﬁrst half, including ﬁve in a game-opening 12-0 run, leading ninth-ranked Tech to a 91-70 rout of the RedStorm in River States Conference men’s basketball action at the Beckley-Raleigh County Convention Center. WVU-Tech improved to 26-4 overall and 15-2 inside the RSC with the win, clinching a share of the East Division crown with Indiana University East in the process. The Golden Bears also nailed down a berth to the NAIA Division II National Championship Tournament as the league’s regular season champion. A pair of wins over IU East gave Tech the tie-breaker. Rio Grande ﬁnished the regular season at 12-18 overall and 6-11 in league play. Boone, one of four seniors honored in pregame ceremonies, fueled the early onslaught, which saw the Golden Bears take a 12-0 lead just under 3-1/2 minutes into the game. The advantage reached 19 points with 13-1/2 minutes left before halftime and grew as large as 29 points, 47-18, after a Brandon Shingles threepointer with 4:16 before the intermission. Rio Grande scored the ﬁrst six points of the second half to slice the deﬁcit to 19, but got no closer the rest of the way. In fact, the Golden Bears were able to reestablish its 29-point cushion after a bucket by Thomas Collins with 4:57 left to play made it 84-55. In addition to his 22 points, Boone ﬁnished with a team-high seven rebounds, six assists and three steals. Three others reached double ﬁgures in the win for Tech. Junior Arrey netted 14 points, Collins ﬁnished with 13 points and Shingles tossed in 11. Collins, like Boone, had seven rebounds. Rio Grande was led by sophomore Kyle Lamotte (Mason, OH), who had 20 points and a pair of steals, and senior Earl Russell (Warrington, England), who ﬁnished with 15 points and a pair of blocked shots. Junior Cameron Schreiter (Mason, OH) totaled nine points, eight rebounds and a career-high six assists in a losing cause. Rio Grande will try to rebound on Wednesday night in the quarterﬁnal round of the RSC Men’s Basketball Championship. The RedStorm, who are the No. 3 seed from the East Division, will face West Division No. 2 seed Asbury University at the Luce Center in Wilmore, Ky. Tipoff is set for 7 p.m. contest. Jacks and Kaylee Gillman paced RVHS with 10 points apiece, followed by Reese with nine points and Brown with two markers. Brown led River Valley with nine rebounds, with Lauren Twyman and Sierra Somerville each hauling in six caroms. Jacks also grabbed ﬁve boards in the setback. Vinton County netted 21-of-61 shot attempts for 34 percent, including a 9-of-27 performance from 3-point range for 33 percent. The hosts were also 11-of-22 at the charity stripe for 50 percent.

The White Falcons (3-19) — who committed six turnovers in their ﬁrst nine possessions — ultimately broke into the scoring column following a Jacob Lloyd basket at the 5:42, sparking a 9-6 run the rest of the period that closed the deﬁcit down to 15-9 through eight minutes of play. After trading baskets to start the second frame, the Red and White were never closer than 17-11 with 4:21 left in the opening half. Point followed with an 11-3 charge over the next three-plus minutes as a Yates bucket at the 1:13 mark gave the guests their largest lead of the half at 28-14. Lloyd countered with a trifecta with 56 seconds remaining in the half, and the hosts entered halftime facing a 28-17 deﬁcit. The Big Blacks continued their hot hand early into the third stanza after using a 16-4 charge to build their biggest lead of the canto at 44-21 with 3:40 remaining. Wahama countered with a 12-2 surge as a Dakota Belcher offensive putback trimmed the deﬁcit down to 46-33 with 1:01 left, but Jordan Daubenmire’s offensive putback with four seconds left allowed the Red and Black to take a 15-point advantage into the ﬁnale. The White Falcons twice closed the deﬁcit down to a dozen points, Point Pleasant sophomore Kyelar Morrow (2) soars in for a layup attempt during the second half of Friday night’s boys basketball contest against Wahama at Gary Clark Court in Mason, W.Va. the last of which came at 52-40 after a Jacob Warth basket with 5:04 left in regulation. The guests retaliated with seven straight points over the next 2:40 and secured their largest lead of the night at 64-45 after a Nick Smith bucket with 32 seconds remaining. Belcher wrapped up the ﬁnal 18-point outcome with a free throw with 16.5 seconds left. It was the third straight victory for Point Pleasant, as well as its ﬁfth triumph in the last six outings. PPHS coach Josh Williams was once again pleased with the overall performance from his troops, especially given the environment of this big road contest between county rivals. “When the ball goes in, our defense picks up. We hit some shots early and we got some turnovers early, and things just kind of took off from there,” Williams said. “It wasn’t perfect or ﬂawless in any way on our part, and give Wahama credit for continuing to battle, but this was a big win for us. There was a good crowd tonight and it felt like a tournament atmosphere, especially being on the road. We just played our game and did what we do. “The kids are showing how much we’ve grown Sweep From page 6 routine ﬂyable to center which allowed three runs to score. A pair of errors were responsible for two of the runs in the four-run sixth. this season. I’m really proud of them and they deserve these results the last few weeks. We’re playing well and having fun right now … and it couldn’t come at a better time.” Wahama committed 22 of the 30 turnovers in the contest, with 13 of those coming in the opening 16 minutes of play. The Big Blacks, conversely, had four miscues in each half. The White Falcons made seven trifectas and shot a respectable 36 percent from the ﬁeld, but the early miscues ultimately made too much of a difference to overcome. “We had too many turnovers early on, plain and simple. We knew there would be some mistakes facing that 1-3-1 trap that Point Pleasant runs, but we just didn’t handle the pressure very well at the start,” WHS coach Ron Bradley said. “When we executed what we wanted to do later on by attacking it, we got some good looks at some shots and managed to make a competitive run. I cannot fault the kids’ effort though. I thought we played hard, but we just didn’t match our execution to our effort.” Wahama outrebounded the guests by a 32-28 overall margin, but Point claimed a 14-12 edge on Surrell, who drew a bases-loaded walk in the ﬁfth and had an RBI single in the sixth, doubled home two runs in the seventh. Shockley also had two hits in the win, including a double. Spencer McCool had three hits and drove in a run for IUSB, while Andy Ross started and took the loss for the Titans. the offensive glass.
