Go to mydailysentinel. com and visit us on facebook to share your thoughts. RACINE — Fred Nero has been appointed to fill the Racine Village Council seat left vacant after council accepted the resignation of councilwoman Ashli Peterman at this month’s meeting. Peterman’s resignation came after she was elected to serve on the Southern Local Board of Education. According to her resignation, Ohio Revised Code prohibits a council member from holding another public office. Peterman still plans to continue helping with village activities. She has been one of the main people involved in the planning for Fourth of July and Christmas activities at Star Mill Park in recent years. Nero was one of three candidates for the two council seats elected in Nov. 2019, placing third in the race. He was sworn in during the meeting. Discussion was held regarding problems residents are reportedly having with the postal service over mailboxes and mail being returned. It was noted that Congressman Bill Johnson has been informed and will have discussions on the matter. Village Administrator John Holman presented a report on water department operations. He noted that for every 100 gallons of water produced it cost the village eight cents. He added that the operat- ing ratio was well within the EPA guidelines. He also reported that there were no major line breaks in 2019. Councilman Bob Beegle urged members to stress to everyone the importance of participating in the upcoming 2020 Census. Information gathered from the Census impacts state and federal funding as well as representation in Congress and many other things for the next 10 years. Councilman Ian Wise was reappointed by council to a seat on the Syracuse-Racine Regional Sewer Board. His present term ends in March.

Daily Sentinel DAR hears ‘Life of a Soldier’ The Daughters of American Revolution met Jan. 18, at the meeting room at the library. The program entitled “Life of a Soldier” was presented to the group by Civil War Reenactor Joe Barnhart, who spoke of the service of the soldier, William McKnight from Langsville, Ohio, who was enlisted in the Seventh Ohio Volunteer Cavalry in the Civil War from 1862-1864 when he was mortally wounded. He started out as a Sergeant and ended his military career as a Captain. A book entitled, “Do They Miss Me at Home” a book that features the letters written by McKnight to his wife during the War, was reviewed by Barnhart. He encouraged the group to read the book to understand better the harsh realities of the Civil War as witnessed by one from our area. It speaks of the loneliness experienced by McKnight during the separation from his family but the need he felt to serve his country at the same time. Barnhart was dressed in the apparel of a Civil War soldier and presented the saber and carbine that they carried during the war. He noted that they carried two Courtesy photo Regent Gina Tillis is pictured with Joe Barnhart. blankets with them one to sleep under and one that was on their horse. Meigs County was the only county in Ohio that had a battle take place there, being The Battle of Buffington Island.

The meeting was held after the program and opened by Regent Gina Tillis with the Pledge to the American Flag and DAR Rituals recited by the members.

Trump slams ex-adviser By Aamer Madhani Associated Press WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump on Thursday lashed out against former White House chief of staff John Kelly for being disloyal after the exadviser came to the defense of a former national security aide who offered key testimony in the impeachment inquiry. The president’s comments targeting Kelly came after Kelly defended Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, who was among administration officials who raised concerns about Trump’s July phone call with Ukraine’s president. That call spurred the president’s impeachment trial, which ended in acquittal last week. “Like so many X’s, he misses the action & just can’t keep his mouth shut,. which he actually has a military and legal obligation to do,” Trump tweeted about Kelly. “His incredible wife, Karen, who I have a lot of respect for, once pulled me aside & said strongly that ‘John respects you greatly. When we are no longer here, he will only speak well of you.’ Wrong!” Kelly, speaking at a public forum on Wednesday in Morristown, New Jersey, said that Vindman did exactly as he was trained in raising concerns to his superiors after hearing “questionable” comments from Trump, according to a report by J^[�7jbWdj_Y�cW]Wp_d[$�L_dZcWd� was ousted last week from his position as a Ukraine specialist detailed to the White House National Security Council. “He did exactly what we teach them to do from cradle to grave,” said Kelly, a retired Marine general who served as Trump’s chief of staff from the summer of 2017 until early last year. “He went and told his boss what he just heard.” Vindman was a key witness in Democrats’ impeachment inquiry of Trump. The Army officer was ousted from his job on the White House National Security Council last Friday, just two days after the Senate acquitted Trump on abuse of power and obstruction of justice charges. He is to be reassigned by the Pentagon. His twin brother, Lt. Col. Yevgeny Vindman, who worked as an ethics lawyer at the NSC, also was ousted from his job and was re-assigned to the Army General Counsel’s Office.

Why are you running for this office? I have always enjoyed being involved in politics, mostly from the sidelines. I had the opportunity to leave Meigs County on a couple of occasions, but did not. I couldn’t leave because it was my home. I want to be a part of a team that helps facilitate growth within our county. Meigs County is not just rich in history, but her people are some of the most resilient and hard-working people that I have met. It would be an honor to represent all of Meigs County as a commissioner. If elected to serve, I will leave Kroger, so I can devote my time on being a full-time commissioner.

I graduated from Eastern High school in 2006. I have worked in Meigs County my entire life. I built my home in Chester Township on the farm where I raise beef cattle, one of my many passions stemming from many years of 4-H livestock projects. After earning a business management degree, I studied nursing and have worked as a registered nurse for over 7 years in Meigs County both at the Holzer Clinic and Emergency Department. Farming and working in the medical field have developed my work ethic which I believe is my greatest quality. I am committed to serving you as I view the commissioner position as a full-time job. Although you may still see me working at the Emergency Department occasionally, the people of Meigs County deserve more of my time and energy put towards their representation. I have deep roots in Meigs County and I look forward to continuing to serve as your Meigs County commissioner. I may not have all the answers but I promise to always work hard and do what is best for Meigs County. I belong to several organizations in which I remain active, including Farm Bureau, Rotary, proud NRA member and supporter, as well as a ten-year member of Masonic Lodge 453, Past Master 2014. I appreciate the opportunity to earn your vote in the Meigs County Republican primary and keep Jimmy Will as your county Commissioner. Why are you running for this office? I became interested in politics in my high school government class which was taught by Archie Rose. When I heard that Mike Bartrum was resigning and that there would be an interview process, I knew immediately I was going to apply. I have had many people tell me that I should be involved in local politics. I knew if I ever ran for public office it would be for county commissioner. I believe I am a well-rounded individual who has the qualities, experiences, and ambition to continue to make our county the best place it can be. I realized when I was appointed that I would need to learn the job quickly and prepare for the upcoming election. I have worked very hard for Meigs County over the last 11 months giving the commissioner position my full-time commitment. I believe a good commissioner must wear many hats. I have worked many different jobs in my lifetime that have prepared me for this job. I love working for the people of this county and would like the opportunity to continue to work for you. I feel I am just getting started on some really great things happening in Meigs County. I am a firm believer that God places us where we need to be.

I used the Internet, and there were so many that I couldn’t print them all off. The Bible is really God’s love story to us. Beginning in the Old Testament, we can see the love that God had for those who sought Him. But then God went even farther. He knew Ann that we needed a Savior, so Moody He sent us His Son. Jesus Contributing lived as one of us and then columnist through His death and resurrection, we were saved from our sins. This is the highest expression of love possible on God’s part and Jesus’ as well. John 3:16 is probably the most well-known and repeated verse in the whole Bible. “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life. This verse maybe explains that better than any other. Then we read 1 Corinthians, Chapter 13 – the love chapter of the Bible: (Selected verses) “I may speak in different languages, whether human or even of angels. But if I don’t have love, I am only a noisy bell or a ringing cymbal. I may have the gift of prophecy, I may understand all secrets and know everything there is to know, and I may have faith so great that I can move mountains. But even with all this, if I don’t have love, I am nothing. I may give away everything I have to help others, and I may even give my body as an offering to be burned. But I gain nothing by doing all this if I don’t have love. Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous, it does not brag, and it is not proud. Love is not rude, it is not selfish, and it cannot be made angry easily. Love does not remember wrongs done against it. Love is never happy when others do wrong, but it is always happy with the truth. Love never gives up on people. It never stops trusting, never loses hope, and never quits. So these three things continue: faith, hope, and love. And the greatest of these is love.” And you know what the summary is of those 13 verses? It’s really retold in just nine words: If we do not have love, nothing else matters! Jesus went on to say in John 13:34 even more about loving people: “A new commandment I give to you. That you love one another, even as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.” Jesus instructed His own disciples to love one another and through this love, people would know that they were His disciples. The defining characteristic of all of our races is love. It’s why we are here. Think about what Jesus said then in Matthew 5:44: “But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.” We find so many excuses to not love people nowadays. We are to love, accept, and forgive people if not for their sakes, for our own sakes often times. The word love is thrown around a lot today. We love our new shoes; we love our favorite sports team; we love our pet; we love the color blue; we love our friend, we love pizza; we love our Lord. Remember when the Pharisees and Sadducees tried to trap Jesus and asked Him what the greatest commandment in Matthew 22: 37-40 was? Jesus told them, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the greatest commandment. And the second is like unto it, You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets.” Jesus made it very plain that we are to love God with our whole being and our neighbors just as we love ourselves. If we do this, everything else takes care of itself. Satan’s greatest weapon is when he gets us to walk in hate/ dislike/prejudice/ whatever you call it against others. It can be a friend, someone who makes us angry, someone who is different from us, someone who disagrees with us, and it can even be ourselves at times. He’s so sneaky about it; we don’t even realize it more often than not. Don’t fall into his trap. This Valentine’s Day choose love - not just for you people you like, but for the entire human race, including the animals, and environment. We are all God’s creation that He loved so much to make for us to enjoy. Let love be your lifestyle not just today, but for the rest of your life! Have a wonderful Valentine’s Day! Let us pray. Father God, You are love. You made us in Your image, so we should be love as well. Let us truly love one another as You have loved us throughout history. You sent us Your Son as the greatest gift of love one could give. May we accept the gift of His love for us and share that gift with others. In Your name we pray, Amen.

Times were when Terry was unable to cook the daily meals, the boys absolutely dreaded it. They knew what was coming. They despised my gooey pancakes. They gagged at my “leftovers concoction.” They sometimes cried when I insisted that at least they take a bit of what I had prepared for them. Once, when a local lady brought to the house a large pot of creamed lima beans she had cooked to supplement our meals while Terry was out of the house, the boys actually broke out in praise and thanksgiving to God for the gift. Now, keep in mind that the boys hated lima beans— -except on that day. My feelings were grievously hurt. It reminds me of the Bible story of Prophet Elisha’s servant who tried to fix a meal for a group of hungry prophets. He was a terrible cook, too, for when the men tried to eat the fixings, they cried out, “O, thou Man of God, there is death in this pot!” That always makes me snicker. But, one day it occurred to me how to spin myself out of the “bad cook” reputation, for I learned that I things and people can “cook” very well buy into it? See how when we eat out.

In the mean time, many are cooking up these spins that are cooking us into economic, political, and spiritual oblivion. If we believe these types of cookings, the day will arrive when an accounting will be exacted of us, and we will come up short because of our growing love for idleness, our forteiture of political idleness, and the governmental option for Godlessness. God says, “I will laugh at your calamity” when the consequences of our cooking start to burn on the stove of spins. God gave us government. It is best to run it according to His principles and expectations. But, my cooking spin is still popular. Jamin was home for a visit recently, and I said, “I think I will cook at ‘Wild Horse’ tonight. What do you think?” “Sounds good to me,” he said. “You certainly have become a good cook.” It made me smile.

And the world is passing away along with its desires, for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys but whoever does the will of God abides forever” (1 John 2:15-17 ESV). and where thieves do not break in and steal.

So, if your eye is God; and so the more the love of the healthy, your whole body will be full world prevails the more the love of of light, but if your eye is bad, your God dwindles and decays.” whole body will be full of darkness. The apostle John provides three If then the light in you is darkness, examples of that which is in the world: the lust of the flesh, the lust of how great is the darkness!

Let’s consider each of these separately for a hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise moment. the other.

What is the greatest devotion of your heart? You can’t serve two masters. As we eat our chocolates and smell our flowers, let us ask how we can love God better. In a world of lesser loves, it’s harder than ever to love Him with all of our hearts, souls, and minds (see Matt. 22:37). Perhaps you realize that spending more time with God would teach you to love Him more. It might look like reading the Bible, dedicating time for prayer, or even getting involved in a local church. But none of us love God as much as we should. And all of us should come to the Lord and ask how we might love Him more. God is worthy of our love. Not only has He created us in His image (see Gen. 1:27), but He has restored us to Himself through the death of His one and only Son on the cross (see John 3:16). On this Valentine’s Day, let us not forget our first love. Let us not become so consumed with worldly passions and pursuits that we fail to love the Father as He deserves. How can you love God better? Isaiah Pauley is the Minister of Worship for Faith Baptist Church in Mason, W.Va.

CENTENARY, Ohio — It all went south after the half. The Gallia Academy trailed Ohio Valley Conference guest Chesapeake by just five points at halftime of Wednesday’s contest in Gallia County, but the Panthers pulled away with a 16-to-6 third quarter run and eventually topped the Blue Devils by a 63-46 count. Gallia Academy (9-12, 4-9 OVC) connected on a pair of three-pointers in the opening period, but trailed 13-12 eight minutes into play. Chesapeake (16-3, 11-2) — which also bested GAHS on Jan. 10 in Lawrence County by a 70-34 count — poured in 18 points in the second quarter on Wednesday, and led 31-26 at halftime. The guests’ 16-to-6 run in the third was highlighted by a trio of three-pointers, and made the margin 47-32 with eight minutes to play. The Panthers capped off the 63-46 victory by outscoring the Blue Devils 16-to-14 in the fourth quarter. For the game, GAHS shot 3-of-4 (75 percent) from the foul line, while CHS was 5-of-8 (62.5 percent). The Blue and White had 19 field goals, including five triples, while Chesapeake had six of its 26 field goals come from beyond the arc. Leading the Blue Devils, Logan Blouir and Isaac Clary had 12 points apiece, on five and six field goals respectively. Carson Call scored six for the hosts, Ben Cox added five, while Colton Caldwell and Damon Cremeens tallied four each. Rounding out the GAHS total, Reece Thomas scored three points. The Panthers were paced by Levi Blankenship with 18 points and Dilen Caldwell with 16. Trent Dearth was next with 11 points, followed by Ethan Taylor with eight, Austin Jackson with five, Travis Grimm with three and Josh Cox with two.

Flyers outlast River Valley at home, 86-73 By Bryan Walters bwalters@aimmediamidwest.com IRONTON, Ohio — Both teams caught a glimpse of shooting stars, but only the Flyers had their wish come true. Ryan Payne poured in a game-high 40 points — 26 of which came in the first half — while leading host Ironton Saint Joseph to an 86-73 victory over the River Valley boys basketball team on Wednesday night in a non-conference matchup in Lawrence County. The visiting Raiders (5-16) managed to keep pace for the better part of three quarters as the Flyers (15-5) were clinging to a 3-point lead headed into the finale. The Purple and Gold, however, hit 9-of-11 free throw attempts down the stretch as part of a 26-16 charge that ultimately wrapped up the 13-point outcome. Payne poured in 13 points in the opening frame as ISJHS jumped out to a slim 19-18 edge, then Payne added another 13 points in the second canto. Jordan Lambert countered with 15 second quarter points for RVHS, but the Flyers used a 24-21 run to take a 43-39 lead into the intermission. Lambert — who had 23 points at the break — added another half-dozen points during an 18-17 third quarter spurt that allowed the guests to close to within 60-57 headed into the finale. Both teams hit a trio of trifectas in the final eight minutes, but the hosts tacked on twice as many 2-point baskets as the Raiders (4-2). The guests also made only 3-of-5 charity tosses in the fourth period. River Valley outrebounded the Flyers by a 29-25 overall margin, but the hosts managed a slim 7-6 edge on the offensive glass. RVHS also committed 20 of the 30 turnovers in the contest. The Silver and Black netted 25 total field goals — including eight trifectas — and also went 15-of21 at the free throw line for 71 percent. Lambert led RVHS with 35 points, followed by Brandon Call with 16 points and Mason Rhodes with 10 markers. Dylan Fulks also chipped in six points in the setback. Chase Caldwell was next for River Valley with three points, while Jordan Burns and Cole Young respectively rounded things out with two points and one point. Ironton Saint Joseph made 30 total field goals — including a dozen 3-pointers — and also sank See FLYERS | 7 OVP SPORTS SCHEDULE Friday, Feb. 14 Boys Basketball Eastern at Southern, 7:30 Miller at Wahama, 7:30 Nelsonville-York at Meigs, 7:30 Rock Hill at Gallia Academy, 7:30 River Valley at Alexander, 7:30 South Gallia at Federal Hocking, 7:30 Ohio Valley Christian at Parkersburg Christian, 7:30 Girls Basketball Ohio Valley Christian at Parkersburg Christian, 6 p.m. Wrestling Class AA-A Region IV championships Saturday, Feb. 15 Boys Basketball Point Pleasant at Sissonville, 7:30 Girls Basketball Gallia Academy vs. Sheridan at Logan HS, noon South Gallia vs. Green at Northwest HS, 1 p.m. Southern vs. Trimble at Wellston HS, 1 p.m. Sissonville at Point Pleasant, 1 p.m. Wrestling Class AA-A Region IV championships Photos by Bryan Walters | OVP Sports Southern senior Landen Hill (4) releases a shot attempt over South Gallia defenders Jared Burdette (5) and Layne Ours (12) during the second half of a Dec. 17, 2019, boys basketball contest in Mercerville, Ohio. Boys basketball tourney draw SE Ohio postseason takes ‘super-sectional’ approach By Bryan Walters bwalters@aimmediamidwest.com A new twist to the historic postseason chase. The ‘super-sectional’ element has been added this year to the 2020 Southeast Ohio District Boys Basketball Tournament brackets, which were released Sunday by the Ohio High School Athletic Association. Instead of the traditional north/south or east/ west breakdowns that have previously been used at the sectional level in all divisions, the Southeast Ohio District Athletic Board is using more of a universal approach this postseason by implementing a seeding process that applies throughout the district. Instead of two brackets at travel-friendly locations for different parts of the district in each division, the Southeast District tournament is now using a division-wide seeding system that has all programs capable of facing one another at any level of the postseason — particularly in the sectional rounds. The general concept is to ensure that the very best teams from the Southeast District are advancing deeper into the postseason, regardless of what side of the district a team hails from. For example, teams from Gallia or Meigs counties now have just as much of chance of playing programs from the west side of the district — say Greenfield McClain, Portsmouth Clay, Peebles, etc. — in the sectional rounds as previous regulars such as Athens, Wellston, Waterford, etc. Previously, those programs from the west side of the district were usually matchups to be found at the district tournament level. Half of the area’s programs are participating in the Division IV field this winter, with South Gallia, Southern and Eastern all needing two victories apiece to reach the district tournament. The 10th seeded Rebels — the highest seeded team of the local D-4 trio — opens tournament play at 8 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 18, when they face 23rd seeded Manchester in a sectional semifinal at Wellston High School. The winner faces seventh seeded Leesburg Fairfield in the Athens 2 sectional final held at 6:15 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 25, at WHS. River Valley senior Brandon Call (11) contests a shot attempt by Gallia Academy’s Logan Blouir (14) during the second half of Jan. 18 boys basketball contest in Bidwell, Ohio. The 14th seeded Eagles are also in the Athens 2 side of the sectional draw and open tournament play at 8 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 19, when they take on 19th seeded Portsmouth Notre Dame in a sectional semifinal at Wellston High School. The winner faces third seeded Trimble in the sectional final at 6:15 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 26, at WHS. The 13th seeded Tornadoes open Athens 1 postseason play at 6:15 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 19, when they face 20th seeded Waterford in a sectional semifinal at Wellston High School. The winner faces fourth seeded Federal Hocking in the sectional final held at 8 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 26, at WHS. Both Gallia Academy and River Valley are part of a singular Division II bracket, but the Blue Devils need one less victory to advance to the Ohio University Convocation Center.

A second half run by the home team narrowly missed producing a dramatic victory. The RedStorm chopped a 22-point second half deficit down to just two in the closing seconds before succumbing to the Pioneers, 74-70, Tuesday night in River States Conference men’s basketball action at the Newt Oliver Arena. Point Park improved to 14-13 overall and 6-7 in league play with the win, while completing a season sweep of Rio Grande and securing a spot in the upcoming RSC Tournament in the process. The RedStorm suffered a fourth straight loss and its fifth setback in the last six outings, dropping to 11-17 overall and 4-10 in the RSC. Rio’s only chance of earning a post-season berth hinges on the RedStorm winning its final two games — at Carlow University on Saturday and against WVUTech at home one week from Saturday — in addition to Ohio Christian University losing each of its final three games (at IU East on Saturday, vs. Carlow next Tuesday and at Point Park on Feb. 22). The RedStorm trailed just 12-11 after a jumper in the lane by senior Greg Wallace (Montego Bay, Jamaica) with 12:56 remaining in the first half, but the Pioneers went on a 24-6 over a stretch covering nearly 10 minutes and opened up a 19-point advantage, 36-17, after a steal and layup by Kyle Carrington with 3:03 left before halftime. Point Park settled for an 18-point cushion at the break before surging out to its largest lead of the night, 53-31, after an emphatic dunk by Xavier Prince with 10:33 remaining in the game. Prince was assessed a technical foul for taunting on the same play and Rio responded with the start of a furious, yet methodical comeback effort. Senior Hadith Tiggs (Mayfield HEMLOCK, Ohio — A halftime turnaround. The Southern boys basketball team trailed TriValley Conference Hocking Division host Miller by six points midway through the Tuesday’s meeting in Perry County, but the Tornadoes bounced back after the break and wound up winning 65-55. The Falcons (4-16, 2-12 TVC Hocking) — who also fell to SHS (9-10, 8-6) by a 67-53 count on Jan. 10 in Racine — hit four three-pointers and four free throws in the opening period on Tuesday. Southern had six field goals in the opening stanza, but still trailed 16-13. Miller made three more triples during its 17-to-14 second quarter run, and led 33-27 at the break. MHS tallied 13 points in the third period, but Southern led 47-46 at the end of the stanza after pouring in 20 points, including 12 by Arrow Drummer. SHS sealed the 65-55 win with an 18-to-9 run in the finale, hitting eight field goals. For the game, Southern made 8-of-12 (75 percent) foul shots, to go with 18 two-pointers and seven triples. Meanwhile, Miller was 8-of-11 (72.7 percent) at the free throw line, and had 11 of its 18 field goals come from deep. Drummer led the Purple and Gold with 24 points, combining 10 field goals and a quartet of free throws. Cole Steele was next with 16 points, 12 of which came after halftime and six of which came from beyond the arc. Trey McNickle made one three-pointer on his way to 11 points, while Landen Hill and Coltin Parker drained two triples apiece en route to eight and six points respectively. Miller was led by Colby Bartley with 28 points, 18 of which came from beyond the arc. Kylan McClain was next with 12 points on four three-pointers, followed by Steve Willison with eight points and Tre McCoy with five. Sam Rutter rounded out the Falcon scoring with two points.

Sydney Holden, a nursing major and the reigning River States Conference Player of the Week, poured in a career-high 33 points — including a tie-breaking run of 10 straight late in the second half — to fuel Rio’s 95-89 triumph over Point Park University, Tuesday night, in women’s basketball action at the Newt Oliver Arena. Rio Grande which, outside of a forfeit win over now-defunct Cincinnati Christian University, had lost each of its previous three outings and thrown its once solid post-season standing into a state of disarray, improved to 17-11 overall and 9-5 in conference play with the win. Point Park slipped to 16-11 overall and 6-7 in the RSC with the loss. The Pioneers looked to be in deep trouble early on after Rio scored the bers (Columbus, OH) had a game-best five assists for Rio. Burns and Kirschner proved to be a near lethal one-two punch for Point Park, finishing with 29 and 24 points, respectively. Burns’ total represented a season-high, while Kirschner’s mark was a career-best. The duo also combined for 11 — six by Kirschner and five by Burns — of the Pioneers’ 13 threepoint goals in the contest. The remainder of Point Park’s point total came from three other doubledigit scorers. Taylor Rinn had 15 to go along with a team-best nine rebounds, while Petit and Baylie Mook tallied 11 and 10 Courtesy photo points, respectively.

The 13-point advantage would represent the RedStorm’s largest cushion of the contest. Point Park failed to waiver, though, slicing the deficit to five, 45-40, by the intermission and wiping it out altogether when a three-pointer by Taylor Kirschner gave the visitors their first lead of the night, 50-49, with 7:00 left in the third period. Kirschner’s trifecta was part of a 7-0 PPU scoring spurt which turned a two-point deficit into a five-point edge, 54-49, following a steal and layup by Lexi Petit with 5:24 remaining in the third. Over the next 11 minutes and change, nine ties and six lead changes followed, with the last of ties, 78-78, coming after Point Park’s Michelle Burns hit one of two free throw attempts with 4:05 left in the game.
