ROCKSPRINGS — First responders and representatives from numerous agencies came together on Thursday for the annual Meigs County Emergency Management Agency and Local Emergency Preparedness Committee table-top exercise. Frank Gorscak, the retired Emergency Response Coordinator for the Meigs County Health Department and the Local Emergency Preparedness Committee, led the exer- cise. “These exercises are a great way to bring local agencies together to prepare for real life events which could occur at anytime in Meigs County. By exercising together agencies are able to learn what resources others can bring to the table in a real life emergency and how we can update current operating procedures to better serve Meigs County,” stated Meigs County EMA Director Jamie Jones. Gorscak told the participants of the scenario for the drill, which was a fuel spill at G&M Fuel Storage Facility along State Route 124 between Pomeroy and Syracuse. The facility is near the Ohio River which could be in danger from the scenario as explained. Participants were led through the exercise explaining step-by-step what they would do when called upon in the situation. Evaluators were on had for the exercise to provide feedback on the steps taken by the responding agencies.

Dean Wright | OVP Community Action welcomes new director By Dean Wright deanwright@aimmediamidwest. com GALLIPOLIS — Gallia-Meigs Community Action Agency met for its bi-monthly meeting, this time in Gallipolis, recently to welcome new Executive Director Lora Rawson and discuss upcoming projects. “We have a strategic plan we actually approved at the meeting,” said Rawson. “We’re always looking to provide the best customer service that we can and we’re looking to institute some new things like polling people and seeing if we’re meeting their needs. It’s ongoing.” According to information provided by Rawson,”Gallia-Meigs Community Action Agency is a private, non-profit organization that focuses on assisting qualified people in their efforts to become selfsufficient by providing services to enable them to improve their financial, physical, mental and social level, and by operating programs designed to motivate individuals to help themselves.” This happens through the organization of planned and coordinated programs designed to serve the community such as the agency’s Home Energy Assistance Progam, Emergency Home Energy Assistance, Plus-Percentage of Income Payment Plan Plus, Home Weatherization Assistance program, non-emergency transportation, the Community Housing Improvement Program and house assistance grants. For example, home weatherization helps provide energy audits and looks at owner-occupied homes with families meeting 150 percent less than the federal poverty level and looks for ways to make the residence’s energy consumption more efficient. “It can help with things like insulation or furnace repair and replacement,” said Rawson. “Part of our strategic plan this year is to increase our web presences as we do have some social media and we want to bring those together,” said the executive director. The group is also involved in some rebranding. Community action information states that,” Community Action Agencies began as part of President John F. Kennedy’s ‘New Fronter’ to help all Americans to become more self-sufficient and self-sustaining. In August 1964, it evolved into an integral component of the ‘War on Poverty’ during the administration of President Lyndon Baines Johnson and has continued on into the 21st Century, strengthening communities nationwide by helping those in need break free of the shackles of dependency.” “I started my career in social services (with the agency) in the 90s,” said Rawson. “From there, I finished my education and worked a few other places and finished my masters in education from Ohio Valley University. When the position came up, I’d lived in Meigs County and was working at the Corporation for Ohio Appalachian Development (an overseeing organization of area Community Action Agencies). This was like a coming home for me when it opened up. These are my neighbors and communities that we’re serving now.” Rawson also received her undergraduate degree at Ohio Valley University with a major in business administration.

(AP) — The Arkansas House on Monday approved a proposal to ban abortion 18 weeks into a woman’s pregnancy, moving the state closer toward enacting what could be the strictest prohibition in the country. Without any debate, the majorityRepublican House approved the ban by a 77-13 vote. Arkansas already has some of the strictest abortion limits in the country and bans the procedure 20 weeks into a woman’s pregnancy. The bill advanced Monday includes an exemption for medical emergencies, but not for rape or incest. The 18-week ban now heads to the majority-Republican Senate. “We’re pulling it back two weeks,” Republican Rep. Robin Lundstrum told lawmakers before the vote. Arkansas’ Republican governor last week signed into law another measure that would ban abortion in the state if the U.S. Supreme Court overturns its 1973 Roe v. Wade decision legalizing the procedure nationwide. Gov. Asa Hutchinson has not said whether he’d sign the 18-week ban if it reaches his desk. Abortion rights supporters said they’d fight the measure, which they called an effort to challenge Roe v. Wade. MEIGS BRIEFS Drive in Pomeroy. Please bring child(ren)’s shot records.

Pence’s appearance before the Lima Group comes two days after a U.S.-backed effort to deliver humanitarian aid across the border from Colombia ended in violence. Pictured in the center is Colombia’s President Ivan Duque. a new birth of freedom, in a nation reborn to libertad.” Pence’s appearance before the Lima Group comes at an important crossroads for the coalition of mostly conservative Latin American nations and Canada that has joined forces to pressure Maduro. A month after Guaido declared himself interim president at an outdoor rally, hopes that support for Maduro inside the military would quickly crumble have faded. Over the weekend, security forces on the borders with Colombia and Brazil fired tear gas and buckshot on activists waving Venezuelan flags Trump tamps down expectations as he heads to Kim summit Associated Press WASHINGTON — Redefining success, President Donald Trump heads into his second meeting with North Korea’s Kim Jong Un determined to tamp down expectations that he’ll gain a roadmap to denuclearization. Yet he’s still eager to claim an attention-grabbing victory to offset the political turmoil he faces at home. Trump laid out ultimate goals for both the U.S. and Kim in an appearance before the nation’s governors Monday before boarding Air Force One to fly to Vietnam: “We want denuclearization, and I think he’ll have a country that will set a lot of records for speed in terms of an economy.” Worries abound across world capitals about what Trump might be willing to give up in the name of a win, but there seems less mystery about his North Korean counterpart. Survival of the Kim regime is always the primary concern. Trump was the driving force behind this week’s summit, aiming to re-create the global spectacle of his first meeting with Kim last year. But that initial summit in Singapore yielded few concrete results, and the months that followed have produced little optimism about what will be achieved in the sequel. Trump is publicly unconcerned. He once warned that North Korea’s arsenal posed such a threat to humanity that he might have no choice but to rain “fire and fury” on the nation. However, in the leadup to the new summit, he’s proclaimed himself in no hurry for Pyongyang to prove it is abandoning its weapons. “I’m not in a rush. I don’t want to rush anybody, I just don’t want testing. As long as there’s no testing, we’re happy,” Trump told the governors on Sunday. In fact, he is ready to write himself into the history books before he and Kim even shake hands in Hanoi. “If I were not elected president, you would have been in a war with North Korea,” Trump said last week. “We now have a situation where the relationships are good — where there has been no nuclear testing, no missiles, no rockets.” While Trump was airborne, Kim’s armored train was on the move in China, bound toward Vietnam’s capital. Vietnamese officials promised security at “the maximum level.” Reporters from 40 nations were expected to transmit the story to the world. stalemate. The Lima Group, in an 18-point declaration signed by 10 nations and Guaido, reiterated their call on the Venezuelan military to recognize the opposition leader as their commander in chief, urged the International Criminal Court to declare Maduro’s aid blockade a crime against humanity and pressed the United Nations to play a bigger role in resolving the crisis. For now, the U.S. is showing no signs it is considering a military intervention to remove Maduro. During his visit, Pence repeated President Donald Trump’s threat the Colombian capital, was afforded all the trappings of a head of state. He posed for selfies with well-wishers upon arriving for the summit and stood before a pile of aid boxes stamped with the U.S. flag as he and Pence greeted a group of Venezuelan migrants, including an elderly man who wept as he shook hands with the U.S. vice president and pleaded for help. But Guaido’s speech to the diplomats was short on specifics despite speculation he would request a military intervention as close ally Julio Borges, the opposition ambassador to the Lima Group, suggested on Sunday. “Being permissive with the usurpation of power would be a threat to democracy in all of America,” Guaido said. Meanwhile, the Lima Group, which has been staunchly behind Guaido, rejected the use of force. “Let’s hope that the pressure of the international community, dialogue and prudence will prevail,” said Panamanian President Juan Carlos Varela, who likened the crisis in Venezuela to the one his country faced in the run-up to the 1989 U.S. invasion to remove dictator Manuel Noriega. “Although the circumstances are similar, we must have the capacity to find a solution different than the one used back then.” UK opposition takes step to back Brexit vote By Jill Lawless and Lorne Cook Associated Press LONDON — Prime Minister Theresa May returned from a seemingly unproductive meeting with European Union leaders Monday to a growing attempt by British lawmakers to stop her from taking Britain out of the EU on March 29 without a divorce deal. With May and the EU at odds over not just how, but when Brexit should happen, her political opponents were getting increasingly desperate to take control of Britain’s muddled departure from the bloc. At an EU-Arab League summit in Egypt, the EU warned Britain it faces the prospect of delaying its planned March 29 departure or the consequences of a chaotic exit. European Council President Donald Tusk, who chairs meetings of EU nation leaders, said Monday it would be “rational” to postpone Brexit day. May insisted she intends for Britain to leave as planned in a little more than a month. But her often divided opponents may be coalescing around a plan to prevent Britain crashing out of the EU with no agreement in place. The main opposition Francisco Seco | AP, Pool British Prime Minister Theresa May, left, shakes hands with European Commission President JeanClaude Juncker on Monday during a bilateral meeting on the sidelines of an EU-Arab League summit at the Sharm El Sheikh convention center in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt. Leaders from European Union and Arab League countries met for a second day in the Egyptian resort city of Sharm el-Sheikh to discuss migration, security and business deals. Labour Party took a big step Monday toward backing a new referendum on the country’s EU membership. The party has previously said it would support a referendum as a last resort if it could not secure a new election or make changes to May’s EU divorce deal. Britain’s Parliament has so far rejected the deal struck between May’s government and the bloc, and is due to hold a series of votes Wednesday on next steps in the Brexit process. Labour has proposed its own withdrawal plan as an alternative to the government’s deal with the EU. The party said Monday it would back a second public vote if the House of Commons rejects its plan this week, as is widely expected. Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn said the party is committed to “putting forward or supporting an amendment in favor of a public vote to prevent a damaging Tory Brexit being forced on the country.” The party did not specify what voters might be asked to consider in any future vote, though it has previously said the option of Britain remaining an EU member would be included. Labour has previously said it would only support a second referendum as a last resort if it could not secure a new general election or make changes to May’s divorce deal. The change in approach follows the resignations of nine Labour lawmakers last week, partly over the party’s failure to back another Brexit referendum. It is likely to cheer many party members, who have backed calls for a so-called “people’s vote.” HELP WANTED 740-446-0800 The Meigs County Family and Children First Council has an immediate opening for a Family and Children First Coordinator.

OH-70108519 By Jonathan Lemire while escorting trucks with emergency medical and food kits. Four people were killed and at least 300 wounded, although only a few were hospitalized. While Colombian authorities said more than 160 soldiers deserted their posts and sought refuge across the border over the weekend, the highest-ranking among them was a National Guard major. No battalion or division commanders have come forward to challenge Maduro despite almost-daily calls by Guaido and the U.S. to do so. That’s left many asking what Guaido and the U.S. can do to break the OH-70105766 BOGOTA, Colombia — The Trump administration announced new sanctions Monday on allies of Venezuela’s Nicolas Maduro as it struggles to find new ways to boost his opponent after an effort to deliver humanitarian aid to the economically devastated nation faltered amid strong resistance from security forces loyal to the socialist leader. Vice President Mike Pence arrived in the Colombian capital for an emergency summit of regional leaders to discuss the deepening crisis and immediately met with Juan Guaido, the opposition leader the U.S. and 50 other nations recognize as Venezuela’s rightful president. In a speech, Pence urged regional partners to freeze oil assets controlled by Maduro, transfer the proceeds to Guaido and restrict visas for Maduro’s inner circle. He said the U.S. was imposing more sanctions on four pro-government governors, including a close Maduro ally who negotiated the release of an American jailed for more than two years. “It’s time to do more,” Pence said. “The day is coming soon when Venezuela’s long nightmare will end, when Venezuela will once more be free, when her people will see that “all options are on the table” but gingerly avoided talking about the potential for military action. Instead, he stuck to traditional policy tools that so far have only hardened Maduro’s resolve. Foremost among them was the addition of four governors to a growing list of more than 50 Venezuelan officials under sanctions and blocked from doing business or having accounts in the U.S. The most prominent target was Rafael Lacava, the governor of central Carabobo state who played a key role negotiating the release last year of Joshua Holt, a Utah man jailed without a trial for two years on what were seen as trumped-up weapons charges. Pence also said the U.S. would continue to search for places to pre-position aid for eventual delivery to Venezuela, and announced $56 million in new assistance to countries in the region helping to absorb an exodus of more than 3 million Venezuelans who have fled hyperinflation and shortages in recent years. “In the days ahead, the United States will announce even stronger sanctions on the regime’s corrupt financial networks. We will find every last dollar they have stolen and return that money to the Venezuelan people,” he said. Guaido, in his visit to �Opinion 4 Tuesday, February 26, 2019 Daily Sentinel THEIR VIEW When snow falls, there are no right answers Welcome to winter in Miami County, that glorious time of year when schoolchildren become expert meteorologists and our school superintendents become experts in … well, not much of anything, if I were to believe what I read on my social media feeds these days. I have to imagine that it’s never particularly easy being a school superintendent — but it has to be particularly difficult during the winDavid ter months, when seemingly every Fong decision you make about whether Contributing to delay, cancel or open schools the columnist minute the first flurry falls from the sky is the wrong decision and bound to ruin someone’s life. From the kids’ point of view, the school superintendent’s job is a pretty binary affair — close school and you are a hero; keep school open and you may as well be replacing all the cafeteria food with liver and shards of glass. Pleasing the parents seems to be a far more difficult proposition. There are, to put it succinctly, no right answers. Should a superintendent choose to close school, there are parents out there — many of whom work during the day and will be left scrambling to find suitable child care — who will wonder exactly why they would choose to cancel school just because “there is a little bit of snow on the roads” or “it’s a little cold outside.” Bear in mind, most of these parents never once experienced a snow day in their lives because even if there were 500 trillion metric tons of snow on the ground and the temperature was absolute zero on the Kelvin scale, they were going to school “back in the day.” They were also walking, barefoot, uphill in both directions. If they could handle it, today’s kids should be able to handle it. Of course, “back in their day,” lead-based paint and cars without seat belts also seemed like pretty reasonable ideas. Just because society did something wrong 30 years ago doesn’t mean we should keep making those same mistakes over and over again. On the other hand, there are parents who think just because there is a little snow on the ground and a little chill in the air, school should automatically be canceled. Heck, I’ve seen parents on my Facebook page who think school should be canceled because it’s raining too hard, it’s too warm or there’s a little too much pollen in the air. As near as I can tell, these people should probably go ahead and home-school their children, preferably in a hermetically sealed plastic bubble. Both of these groups of parents expect the superintendent to be able to make a decision that is going to appease them. Apparently, they think education works like a fast food restaurant and they can order up snow days — or not order up snow days — as they please. They want their child’s schedule made-to-order, preferably with a little cup of ranch dressing on the side. And, of course, there’s also the possibility of a two-hour delay, which seems to make everyone mad, regardless of how much sense it makes from a logistical point of view. Let’s not also forget that even if the superintendent makes a decision that everyone can agree with, there’s still the possibility he or she can deliver the decision at the wrong time of day. Making the call the night before can be too early for some, making it the next morning is too late for others. I get it — people value the safety of their children (as they should) and they also value their precious time. Living in a household in which both parents work, it’s not always easy on us and we, too, sometimes grumble about the way things work out with snow days and how it impacts our daily lives. But I think, deep down, we get it. We understand that our school superintendent — and all the other superintendents around Miami County — have difficult jobs to do … and believe it or not, my kid and my schedule aren’t the only things they have to take into consideration. Every time there is inclement weather, superintendents have to make a decision that is going to impact thousands of lives. They have to consider the children who ride the bus to school, the ones who walk to school and the ones who are old enough to drive themselves to school. They also have to consider the hundreds of employees within the district, from the principals and teachers to the cafeteria staff and bus drivers. Frequently, they are forced to make these decisions while considering the same weather reports we all receive — which, as anyone who has lived in Ohio for any length of time knows, have never been 100 percent accurate. They have to consider not only what is happening, but what could be happening in a few hours. Certainly, student safety comes first — but that’s a pretty subjective term sometimes. What some may think is “safe” for one student, may not See SNOW | 5 THEIR VIEW Putting money in Ohioans’ pockets For too many workers, hard work isn’t paying off. We need to overhaul our tax system to put more money in the pockets of Ohio families. That’s what President Trump promised workers — but instead of getting bigger tax returns, many Americans aren’t getting the refunds they were hoping for from the president’s tax bill. Some even owe money. We need to throw out President Trump’s tax law, and completely rewrite our tax code to put people first. I’m introducing a plan to do that, starting this month. My plan has four parts. First, the Patriot Corporation Act would reward companies that do the right thing and invest in American jobs and American workers. Part two is the Corporate Freeloader Fee.

In the coming weeks, I’m introducing a bill to increase the Child Tax Credit to $3,000, or $250 a month, for each child age six or older. And we’re going to make it a little bigger for every child under age six, raising it to $3,600 per year, or $300 a month. This proposal alone would cut childhood poverty in half, and would make a big difference for families paying for daycare and diapers and school supplies and all the extra expenses that come up when you’re raising a family. Taken together, this plan will create a tax code that puts money in the pockets of working people, raises wages, and keeps jobs in the U.S. Sherrod Brown is a U.S. senator, representing Ohio.

The deal, though, later faced a challenge from the administration of President Donald Trump, who pulled America out of the accord, while fueling doubts of those at home still wary of U.S. interests decades after Iran’s 1979 Islamic Revolution. Zarif himself faced withering criticism at home once for even shaking hands with President Barack Obama. There was no immediate reaction from the U.S. However, officials in the Trump administration have increased their pressure on Iran on social media as well, with one State Department official tweeting an unflattering GIF of Zarif saying: “How do you know @JZarif is lying? His lips are moving.” Iranian hard-liners in a speech in Tehran, saying: “We cannot hide behind imperialism’s plot and blame them for our own incapability.” “Independence does not mean isolation from the world,” he said. Zarif’s resignation leaves Iran’s relatively moderate President Hassan Rouhani without one of his main allies in pushing the Islamic Republic toward more negotiation with the West. Analysts have said Rouhani faces growing political pressure from hard-liners within the government as the unraveling nuclear deal further strains the country’s long-weakened economy.

The veteran diplomat first offered a vague Instagram post with an “apology” for his “inability to continue to his service.” The post included a drawing of Fatima, the daughter of the Prophet Muhammad, as Monday marked the commemoration of her birth. A Foreign Ministry spokesman, Abbas Mousavi, confirmed to the state-run IRNA news agency minutes later that Zarif had resigned but gave no reason for his departure.

HUNTINGTON, W.Va. — Things are pointing up … and up, and up, and up. The Point Pleasant wrestling team notched three weight class titles and produced 10 state placers while securing the program’s fourth Class AA-A crown on Saturday night at the 72nd annual WVSSAC Wrestling Championships held at Big Sandy Superstore Arena in Cabell County. The Big Blacks — who technically clinched the 2019 team crown by the end of the third session Friday evening — dominated the three-day event with 203 points, finishing 83 points ahead of runner-up Independence (120) and the rest of the Class AA-A field. The Red and Black — who entered the weekend with only one senior out of their 14 divisional qualifiers — amassed a 38-18 overall record in headto-head bouts, with 20 of those wins coming by pinfall. Point Pleasant led wire-towire through all five sessions and secured its first state title since a three-peat performance in Class AA-A from 2010 through 2012, and the Big Blacks also produced their first individual state champions since the 2016 campaign. Sophomore Isaac Short (106), freshman Derek Raike (120) and freshman Justin Bartee (126) were all magnificent in their first-ever state tournaments as each underclassman went 4-0 while claiming state titles in their respective divisions. The triumphant trio increased Point Pleasant’s state See POINT | 7 Maryland beats Ohio State, 72-62 COLLEGE PARK, Md. (AP) — In a second half defined by three pivotal runs, No. 24 Maryland forged the first and final foray to squeeze out a feel-good victory. Anthony Cowan Jr. scored 19 points, Bruno Fernando had 14 points and 10 rebounds and the Terrapins beat Ohio State 72-62 Saturday to remain unbeaten at home in the Big Ten. The Terrapins (21-7, 12-5) used a 13-0 spree to take a 52-36 lead. After letting the margin dwindle to two points with 5:27 left, Maryland rattled off seven straight points to end the Buckeyes’ comeback bid. Terps coach Mark Turgeon was delighted to see his team seemingly take control with 13 straight points, and dismayed with its performance during a 19-5 run by Ohio State that made it 57-55 with 5:27 remaining. “I’m disappointed with the way we played defensively during that stretch,” Turgeon said. “We made a lot of mistakes, weren’t alert, (had a) soft foul for a three-point play. But you’d much rather learn in a win than learn in a loss, and hopefully be better because of it.” The Terrapins won because they answered Ohio State’s surge with one of their own. Freshman Serrel Smith Jr. was fouled on a shot from beyond the arc and made all three free throws. Darryl Morsell followed with a pair of foul shots, and Aaron Wiggins capped the 7-0 run with a dunk off a pass from Fernando, who had snagged the rebound of a miss by Morsell. That was enough to assure the Terrapins of a series sweep. The Terps won at Ohio State 75-61 on Jan. 18. “Coach told us they’re going to go on a couple of runs,” Cowan said. “(He told us to) just keep our composure and answer back with a run. That’s what we did, and ended the game on top.” Maryland improved to 14-2 at home, including 7-0 in the conference. With three Big Ten games left, including two at home, the Terrapins are in fourth place and in position to secure a double bye in the conference tournament. Fernando scored all of his points after halftime, and Smith contributed a career-high 14 points. Despite a slow start, Fernando secured his ninth double-double in his last 10 games. Duane Washington Jr. scored 15 and Andre Wesson had 13 for Ohio State (17-10, 7-9). The Buckeyes have lost three of four and nine of their last 14. Coach Chris Holtmann lamented Ohio State’s 0-for-9 shooting during Maryland’s first run. “We had a stretch where it affected our defense and that was disappointing,” he said. “But it was good to see some of those shots go down (during the 19-5 surge).” Maryland led 39-36 before Fernando scored six See OHIO | 7 OVP SPORTS SCHEDULE Tuesday, Feb. 26 Boys Basketball (5) Sissonville at (4) Point Pleasant, 7 p.m. (5) Eastern vs. (4) South Webster at Meigs HS, 8:30 Wednesday, Feb. 27 Boys Basketball (7) South Gallia vs. (2) Trimble at Meigs HS, 6 p.m. (6) Southern vs. (3) Waterford at Meigs HS, 8:30 Thursday, Feb. 28 Boys Basketball Point-SHS winner at (1) Nitro, 7 p.m. Girls Basketball (2) Eastern vs. (1) Portsmouth ND at Jackson HS, 6:15 Photos by Alex Hawley | OVP Sports GAHS senior Cory Call (22) shoots a two-point from the middle of the JHS defense, during the Blue Devils’ 42-38 season-ending setback on Saturday in Londonderry, Ohio.

Blue Jackets acquire Dzingel from Senators COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The Columbus Blue Jackets continued to load up ahead of the NHL trade deadline by acquiring forward Ryan Dzingel from the Ottawa Senators on Saturday. Columbus sent winger Anthony Duclair and 2020 and 2021 second-round picks to Ottawa for Dzingel and a 2019 seventhround pick. It’s the second trade in as many days between the teams, after the Blue Jackets got center Matt Duchene from the Senators for a package including a first-round draft pick and prospects. The trade was announced shortly after Duchene had a goal and an assist in his new team’s 4-0 win over San Jose. Dzingel, like Duchene, can be an unrestricted free agent this summer. The 26-year-old has 22 goals and 22 assists in 57 games Ironmen Nevan Yates added three, while Treylan Davis chipped in with one.

They’ve really done a lot for us in the four years they’ve been here, and I’m really going to miss them. “We have a lot of work to do in the gym.

The team has worked so hard to get to this point, and those guys have helped me out through all of this — being my first year at the varsity level,” Raike said. “I believed in my abilities and we believed in one another to get where we are. This what we all set out to do, to win a state title … and we succeeded.” Bartee captured Point’s final championship of the evening in the 126-pound division after pinning Wirt County senior Wyatt Powell with 19 seconds left in the second period. Bartee led the match 9-2 at the time of the pinfall and was ahead 2-0 at the end of the first period. Bartee earned two pinfalls and an 8-3 decision en route to the championship round and also completed his first varsity season with a perfect 36-0 mark while becoming the Bartee — the 18th different state champion in Point history — also joined Rusty Maness (2011) as the only grapplers in PPHS history to go unbeaten over the course of a season. Perhaps it was because he was the last champion to wrestle on Saturday night, but Bartee was overcome with emotion after winning his first career state crown. Regardless of his unbeaten status, Bartee was still humble about reaching this sort of summit. “I have a lot of emotions and adrenaline built up right now, but I’m very excited about being a state champion. I do owe a lot of this to my coaches and my parents, because I wouldn’t be here without either of those groups of special Photos by Bryan Walters | OVP Sports Point Pleasant freshman Derek Raike locks in a hold on Oak Hill junior Ashby West during the 120-pound Class AA-A championship match held Saturday night at Big Sandy Superstore Arena in Huntington, W.Va.

I’m really proud of everyone for doing their part too. It was a great weekend.” The Big Blacks secured the program’s 22nd, 23rd and 24th overall titles with those trio of state final victories, and Point also was within striking distance of adding two more by night’s end. Sophomore Christopher Smith dropped a heartbreaking 1-0 decision to East Fairmont sophomore Blake Boyers in the 113-pound final. Smith was a third place finisher at 106 last season, while Boyers was the 2018 champion at 106 pounds. Sophomore Mitchell Freeman trailed 2-0 less than 15 seconds into his 138-pound final against Oak Glen junior Peyton Hall and ultimately lost by pinfall with 18 seconds left in the third period. Smith ended the 2019 campaign with a 41-6 overall record, while Freeman — who was third at 126 pounds last year — finished this winter with a 44-7 mark. It was the seventh time in school history that Point Pleasant had multiple champions at the same state tournament, as well as a record-tying fifth occasion of having three state champions at one meet. The Big Blacks had three champions apiece at the 2006, 2009, 2010 and 2012 Class AA-A meets, as well as two champions each at the 2008 and 2016 tournaments. Raike and Bartee join the likes of Maness (2008) and current senior teammate George Smith (2016) as the only freshmen in program history to win a state championship. Maness is the only four-time champion in school history. George Smith and Grant Safford were the last state champions at Point Pleasant prior to this past weekend, with both winning Class AAA titles in 2016. Alex Reed won the first state title for PPHS back in 1998. Brent Hereford and Heath Shirley (2006), Derek Mitchell (2009), Caleb Duong (2010), Noah Searls, Zach Nibert and Josh Hereford (2012), and Trevor Hill (2013) also have a single title apiece among themselves. Maness (2008-11), James Casto (2005-06), Anthony Jeffers (200708) and Casey Hogg (2009-10) are the only grapplers in PPHS history to win multiple titles. John Bonecutter, now completing his 10th season as head coach at Point Pleasant, has accounted for all four of the Big Blacks’ team championships.
