Council
hears 833
funding
update
By Lorna Hart
Special to the Sentinel

according to the criminal complaint
originally ﬁled in Mason County Magistrate Court. The complaint further
alleged Hooton was possibly “run
over” more than once with Cline’s
2005 Chevrolet Equinox. Cline was
later indicted for murder by a grand
jury in January 2019.
Cline’s trial began last Tuesday in
Mason County Circuit Court, with
closing statements given Friday
morning. Mason County Prosecuting
Attorney R.F. Stein, II, represented
the state while Attorney Mark Plants
represented Cline.

POMEROY — Pomeroy Council met in
regular session Monday
evening and approved the
minutes and payment of
bills before moving onto
other business.
First on the agenda was
the 833 Sewer Project.
Mayor Don Anderson
announced the receipt of
funds to cover the cost of
hookups and removal or
securing of septic equipment for residents along
the route of the new
expansion. The $500,000
grant was received from
the H2Ohio Grant Program, and according to
Anderson, will more than
cover the expenses relating to the project.
The estimated cost for
each hookup and management of septic equipment
is estimated to be a maximum of $6,500. The Village will hire a contractor
to do the work of hook up
and follow up testing for
all residents.
The mayor and council
members reminded residents and all interested
parties of the 833 Sewer
Expansion Project public
meeting on Wednesday,
March 4, at 7 p.m. in the
Community Room of
Farmers Bank in Pomeroy.
Anderson again
stressed this is an opportunity for residents to
increase their property
values and no longer have
the responsibility of maintaining current systems
or the consequences of
not being in compliance
with EPA requirements.
“The March 4 meeting is a good time to
learn about the project
and have your questions
answered,” Anderson
said. “We want to keep
everyone informed each
step of the project. This
is the ﬁrst of many public
meetings we will be having over the course of the
project.”
Concerning the Riverbank Project, Anderson
explained that as expected, there was money left
over when the ﬁnal numbers for the cost of the
project were completed.
Those funds were to be
forwarded to the Village
to cover the loan the Village took on while the
project was being undertaken, with the understanding it would be paid
for with the remaining
funds. The project was
completed and the Village had expected the
Army Corps of Engineers
to release the funds by
August 2019, but the
remaining money has not
been forwarded to the Village, and interest on the
loan is accruing.
The mayor stated he
does not believe the Village should be responsible for most of the
interest on the loan since
it was not in their power

SEATTLE — Tensions over how to contain the coronavirus
escalated Tuesday in
the United States as
the death toll climbed
to nine and lawmakers
expressed doubts about
the government’s ability
to ramp up testing fast
enough to deal with the
crisis.
All of the deaths have
occurred in Washington
state, and most were residents of a nursing home
in suburban Seattle. The
number of infections in
the U.S. overall climbed
past 100, scattered
across at least 15 states,
with 27 cases in Washington alone.
“What is happening
now in the United States
may be the beginning
of what is happening
abroad,” said Dr. Nancy
Messonnier of the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention, noting
that in China, where the
outbreak began more
than two months ago,
older and sicker people
are about twice as likely
to become seriously ill as
those who are younger
and healthier. Most
cases have been mild.
The nursing home
outbreak apparently
seeded the ﬁrst case in
North Carolina, authorities said. A Wake County
resident who had visited
the Washington state
nursing home tested positive but is in isolation at
home and is doing well,
according to the North
Carolina governor’s
ofﬁce.
In suburban Seattle, 27
ﬁreﬁghters and paramedics who responded to
calls at the nursing home
were tested for the virus
Tuesday using a drivethru system set up in a
hospital parking area.
Thirty-year-old ﬁreﬁghter Kevin Grimstad
took care of two patients
Jan. 29 at Life Care
Center in Kirkland. He
is among 10 from the
Kirkland Fire Department who developed
symptoms after calls to
the nursing facility.

A hand sanitizer dispenser is placed just outside the floor of the U.S. Senate chamber after
concerns about the coronavirus on Tuesday in Washington. The number of infections in the U.S.
overall climbed past 100, scattered across at least 15 states, with 27 cases in Washington alone.

from fevers, coughs and
congestion. They’re all
feeling better, but wish
they knew more about
the virus.
“It’s crazy. A couple of
weeks ago, it seemed like
a foreign thing and now
we’re getting tested,”
Grimstad said. “If I was
exposed a month ago,
the problem is more
widespread than we
know.”
In the nation’s capital,
ofﬁcials moved on a
number of fronts.
A bipartisan $7.5 billion emergency bill to
fund the government’s
response to the outbreak
worked its way through
Congress.
The Federal Reserve
announced the biggest
interest-rate cut in over
a decade to try to fend
off damage to the U.S.
economy from the factory shutdowns, travel
restrictions and other
disruptions around the
globe. On Wall Street,
stocks rallied brieﬂy on
the news, then went into
another steep slide, with
the Dow Jones Industrial Average losing 785
points on the day, or
2.9%.
“We have seen a broader spread of the virus.
So, we saw a risk to the
economy and we chose
to act,” Fed Chairman
Jerome Powell said.
Also, the Food and
Drug and Administration
sought to ease a shortage of face masks by giving health care workers
the OK to use an industrial type of respirator
mask designed to protect

construction crews from
dust and debris.
Lawmakers on Capitol
Hill expressed skepticism about U.S. health
ofﬁcials’ claims that
testing for the new virus
should be widely available soon. CDC test kits
delivered to states and
cities in January proved
faulty.
Authorities have said
labs across the country
should have the capacity
to run as many as 1 million tests by the end of
the week.
But testing so far has
faced delays and missteps, and “I’m hearing
from health professionals
that’s unrealistic,” Democratic Sen. Patty Murray
of Washington state said
at a Senate hearing.
The chief of the Food
and Drug Administration, Dr. Stephen Hahn,
said the FDA has been
working with a private
company to get as many
as 2,500 test kits out to
labs by the end of the
week. Each kit should
enable a lab to run about
500 tests, he said. But
health ofﬁcials were
careful about making
promises.
“I am optimistic, but I
want to remain humble,”
said Dr. Anne Schuchat
of the CDC.
In Washington state,
researchers believe the
virus may have been circulating undetected for
weeks. That has raised
fears that there could
be hundreds of undiagnosed cases in the area.
But some people who
want to be tested for

the virus in the state are
encountering confusion,
a lack of testing options
and other problems
as health authorities
scramble to deal with
the crisis.
“The people across
my state are really
scared. I’m hearing from
people who are sick,
who want to get tested
and don’t know where
to go,” Murray said.
“It’s unacceptable that
people in my state can’t
even get an answer as to
whether or not they are
infected.”
One lab was already
testing for coronavirus
in Washington state and
a second was scheduled
to begin doing so Tuesday.
Amid the rising fears,
a school district north
of Seattle closed for
training on conducting
remote lessons via computer in case schools
have to be shut down
for an extended period,
while a private school
said it would conduct
online-only classes
through the end of
March.
“We do not feel it is
prudent to wait until
there is a known case to
take action,” the school,
Eastside Prep in the
Seattle suburb of Kirkland, said on its website.
A Department of
Homeland Security
facility just south of
Seattle instructed all its
employees to work from
home after a worker
became ill after visiting
the nursing home at the
center of the outbreak.

Tornadoes devastate Tennessee, killing at least 25
By Travis Loller
and Kimberlee Kruesi
Associated Press

NASHVILLE, Tenn.
— Rescuers searched
through shattered Tennessee neighborhoods
for bodies Tuesday, less
than a day after tornadoes ripped across
Nashville and other
parts of the state as
families slept. At least
25 people were killed,
some in their beds,
authorities said.
The twisters that
struck in the hours
after midnight shredded more than 140
buildings and buried
people in piles of rubble
and wrecked basements. The storms
moved so quickly that
many people in their
path could not ﬂee to
safer areas.
“It hit so fast, a lot of
folks didn’t have time to
take shelter,” Putnam
County Mayor Randy
Porter said. “Many of
these folks were sleeping.”
The governor
declared an emergency
and sent the National
Guard to the county to
help with search-andrescue efforts.

Bill Wallace reaches out to rescue workers who freed him after his home collapsed on him and
his wife, Shirley, trapping them under rubble after a tornado hit Mt. Juliet, Tenn., on Tuesday. At
least 25 people were killed when tornadoes struck central Tennessee in the early hours of Tuesday.

National Weather Service survey teams indicated that the damage
in Nashville and Wilson
County to the east was
inﬂicted by a tornado of
at least EF-3 intensity,
the agency said.
One twister wrecked
homes and businesses
across a 10-mile (16
kilometer) stretch of
Nashville that included
parts of downtown.
It smashed more than
three dozen buildings,
including destroying
the tower and stained
glass of a historic
church. Another torna-

do damaged more than
100 structures along a
2-mile (3.2-kilometer)
path of destruction in
Putnam County, wiping
some homes from their
foundations and depositing the wreckage far
away.
Daybreak revealed
landscapes littered with
blown-down walls and
roofs, snapped power
lines and huge broken
trees, making many city
streets and rural roads
impassable. Schools,
courts, transit lines and
an airport were closed.
More than a dozen poll-

ing stations were also
damaged, forcing Super
Tuesday voters to wait
in long lines at alternative sites.
The death toll
climbed steadily as ﬁrst
responders gingerly
pulled apart wreckage.
Sheriff Eddie Farris said only 30 percent of the Putnam
County disaster area
had received a “hard
check” by midday. “A
lot of these homes had
basements, and we’re
hopeful there are still
people down in there,”
he said.

State responds to youth prison survey

Mason PD | Courtesy

Suspected methamphetamine, heroin and fentanyl were reportedly
found following a traffic stop in Mason, W.Va. early Tuesday, as
pictured. Two passengers in the vehicle, both from Gallia County,
Ohio, were arrested.

Alleged meth,
heroin, fentanyl
seized at traffic stop
Staff Report

MASON, W.Va. — Two passengers in a truck
stopped early Tuesday morning for a trafﬁc violation
have been arrested by the Mason Police Department
on alleged drug charges.
According to Chief Colton McKinney, Shawn White, 41, of Bidwell, Ohio,
and Christina Maines, 33, of Gallipolis,
Ohio, were arrested.
White was charged with a felony
count of possession of controlled substances with the intent to deliver, while
Maines
Maines was charged with misdemeanor
possession of controlled substances.
Both were transported to the Western
Regional Jail and were awaiting arraignment late Tuesday morning.
McKinney said Patrolman Austen
Toler stopped the black Ford F-150
truck on Second Street shortly before
White
1:30 a.m. He obtained consent to search
the vehicle, where he reportedly found
over 10 grams of methamphetamine, over three grams
of heroin, and three grams of fentanyl.
The driver was released with citations.
Assisting at the scene was the New Haven Police
Department.

Ohio election change
effort cleared for
state Ballot Board
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A proposal to let
Ohioans be automatically registered to vote when
they conduct business at state Bureau of Motor
Vehicles ofﬁces was cleared Thursday for review by
the state Ballot Board.
The proposal announced earlier this year would
also require early voting locations to be open on
the two weekends prior to Election Day, and would
allow eligible voters to register and vote on the
same day.
Attorney General Dave Yost on Thursday certiﬁed the petition’s summary language and the validity of the ﬁrst 1,000 signatures. The proposal from
Ohioans for Secure and Fair Elections goes next to
the Ballot Board for certiﬁcation of the petition’s
language. If the measure passes that review, its
backers can begin the statewide signature-gathering
process.
Under the proposal, military service members
and overseas citizens would receive their ballots in
a timely fashion and voters with disabilities would
be guaranteed equal access to the ballot box.
The requirement that voters be registered during
BMV trips unless they opt out is also part of pending House and Senate legislation.
Twenty-one states plus the District of Columbia
have same-day voter registration, and more than a
dozen have some manner of automated voter registration, according to the National Conference of
State Legislatures.
This story was ﬁrst published on Feb. 20, 2020.
It was updated on March 2, 2020, to correct that
before backers could begin collecting signatures, the
measure ﬁrst had to be reviewed by the state Ballot
Board.

COLUMBUS, Ohio
(AP) — While rates of
sexual victimization in
Ohio youth prisons are
dropping, any victimization is unacceptable, an
ofﬁcial with the Department of Youth Services
testiﬁed.
Ohio was labeled a
“high-rate state” with
an average of 15.3% of
incarcerated youth who
responded to a survey
reporting some kind of
victimization, accord-

ing to the 2018 survey
done by the Bureau of
Justice, an ofﬁce within
the U.S. Department of
Justice.
Numbers are down
from 2012, when 19.8%
of youth reported being
sexually victimized in
some way, Julie Walburn, the Youth Services
assistant director, told
the Correctional Institution Inspection Committee on Thursday.
“While these numbers

told the committee.
The agency has also
upgraded security cameras and renovated bathrooms and showers at
its Indian River facility
in northeastern Ohio in
compliance withe federal Prison Rape Elimination Act, Gies said.
Victimization could
involve anything from
being shown an inappropriate picture to
coerced sexual acts,
Gies said.

State seeks dismissal of lawsuit
COLUMBUS, Ohio
(AP) — The state has
asked the Ohio Supreme
Court to dismiss a lawsuit that challenges a
delay of applications for
Ohio’s biggest school
voucher program.
At issue is legislative
debate over the program
known as EdChoice,
which is supposed to
help fund private school
tuition for students
from poor-performing

districts and schools.
Lawmakers have been
considering possible
changes to avoid a looming spike in the number
of qualifying locations
for the program. Unable
to reach agreement in
early February, they
voted to postpone the
start of applications for
two months to allow
time for further consideration.
That bill was not done

in a way allowing it to
take effect immediately,
meaning the original
deadline is in place and
the state is now violating it, according to a
Feb. 3 complaint ﬁled
with the Supreme Court
by two private religious
schools, parents of Ohio
students planning to use
vouchers and a conservative advocacy group.
On Thursday, the
Attorney General’s

ofﬁce asked the high
court to dismiss
the lawsuit on several grounds, including
assertions the groups’
lacked standing to
bring the complaint
and that they can’t
prove they’re entitled to
EdChoice scholarships.
Senate President
Larry Obhof has said
he’s “cautiously optimistic” a voucher ﬁx can be
reached.

Panel OKs bill banning telemedicine abortions
COLUMBUS, Ohio
(AP) — Senators in
Ohio are nearing a vote
on a bill banning the
use of telemedicine for
medication abortions,
after the measure cleared
its ﬁrst legislative hurdle
last week.
The proposal sponsored by state Sen.
Stephanie Kunze, a
Hilliard Republican, was
approved by the Senate
Health, Human Services

and Medicaid Committee
on Wednesday, over the
objections of abortion
rights groups and others.
That sends the bill to
a vote of the full Senate,
possibly as soon as this
week.
The legislation’s supporters said it is important for a doctor to physically be present when
women take mifepristone
for a chemical abortion
to assure safety and to

answer questions.
Opponents said under
current law women seeking abortions are still
required to visit a clinic
for counseling and an
ultrasound a day ahead
of the procedure. They
said taking the abortion
medication from home
on the second day, while
connected online with
the a clinician, is allowed
by the U.S. Food and
Drug Administration.

Abortion rights groups
testiﬁed that telemedicine improves access particularly for rural women
to abortion, which
remains legal across the
state.
According to the
Guttmacher Institute, a
research group that supports abortion rights,
17 states currently block
clinicians from dispensing abortion medication
remotely.

Ohio accepting applications for hemp cultivation
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) —
The Ohio Department of Agriculture began accepting online
applications Tuesday from those
interested in growing and processing hemp, a strain of the

industrial uses.
Applications are for the 2020
growing season. Cultivators are
required to grow at least 1,000
plants on a minimum of a quarter
acre.
While Ohio, Louisiana and

New Jersey are currently the
only states with hemp programs
approved by the U.S. Department
of Agriculture, hemp cultivation is
legal in all but a handful of states.
The Ohio Legislature legalized
industrial hemp cultivation and
the processing and sale of CBD
products last year in a bill Republican Gov. Mike DeWine signed
in July.
Ohio hemp must test at no
more than .3% THC, the psychoactive ingredient found in mari-

juana.
Fiber and stalks from hemp
plants are used to make products
that include clothing, rope, textiles and biofuels. Extractions
from plant material are used to
make CBD. Hemp seeds are used
in health food products.
Ohio Farm Bureau ofﬁcials have
said industrial hemp will help
farmers diversify their operations
as prices for commodity crops
such as corn and soybeans remain
low.

THEIR VIEW

Planning for
the growing
season
It seems to me that it’s about that time again
— you know, planning for the upcoming growing season. Oh, sure, we’ve got lotsa cold, rainy,
and possibly snowy weather ahead,
but ﬁguring out what, where, and
when to plant kinda helps relieve
the gloomy feeling that comes with
days on end of dismal gray overcast
skies.
For years, we got what we
called “seed” catalogues that were
Bill
colorful brochures from various
Taylor
companies describing all kinds of
Contributing
vegetable and ﬂower offerings. We
columnist
could leaf through those publications during dreary end-of-winter
days and visualize what our selections might
look like. Unfortunately, this practice has fallen
by the wayside as print has given way to digital
advertising and purchasing. It’s really not the
same, but I suppose it’s “progress.”
About a year ago when I was going through
this procedure I had pretty well decided “to give
up, throw in the towel, cry ‘uncle’ — and cease
my efforts to grow green and yellow beans.”
The reason was that ravenous rabbits had
defeated my every effort to protect my beans
from those midnight munchers. I ﬁgured the
only viable solution — a fence around the bean
patch — would be too difﬁcult, too challenging.
Fortunately, I changed my mind and came up
with a way to install such a fence which proved
to be successful — we still have some packages
of frozen beans in the freezer. Furthermore, I
was able to make the fence removable so I can
use it again this year. In fact, I may see if I can
get an early crop of edible pod peas using the
same technique. Will have to check on planting
windows.
I will have more cleaning up ﬂower beds and
such this spring than in the past. The reason is
that last fall I read a gardening column that suggested leaving the dead plants to overwinter to
give shelter for birds and critters so I decided to
give it try.
Well, I don’t know how well it worked, but
one result is I’ll have lots more tidying up. But
this is one chore where results are immediately
evident and thus satisfying. One thing this year
I have to consider is rotating my vegetable
crops, that is, switching around the location
of my beans, in-ground tomatoes, and sweet
banana peppers. According to those folks who
know about such things, rotation is better than
continually growing the veggies in the same
spot. More planning.
I will once again grow “patio” tomatoes. They
did much better last year than my in-ground
ones. I’ll use fresh soil in the containers and will
once again plant old standbys on my patio —
reserving blight-resistant ones for my in-ground
group but still use organic anti-blight spray on
all. Better safe than sorry. More planning.
OK moving on to ﬂowers. For a number of
years I have successfully moved my geraniums
back and forth between outside containers and
indoor ones. Well, half didn’t tolerate the transplanting this winter and so I lost them. The
other half doesn’t look good and I don’t know if
they will survive until warm weather arrives and
I seriously doubt if they will survive transplanting to an outdoor container. Sure is frustrating
when I don’t know what is causing their demise.
Perhaps a ﬁve or so years lifetime is the limit.
Maybe it’s time for some new ones.
I will likely add some perennials to our main
ﬂower bed and continue planting marigolds as
a border. They add so much color and contrast
to the perennials. I truly enjoy moss roses, particularly the multicolor ones, but last year they
didn’t do as well as I had hoped. Might try a
couple of pots and hope for the best.
Gonna continue with petunias for our patio
ﬂowers — and may once again use them in our
self-planted hanging baskets. Petunias have
such a wide variety of types and colors that they
are very versatile and may be used in many different venues but do require tending such as
“dead-heading.” Oh, well, that’s part of the our
investment in ﬂowers.
You know, I recently heard about how one of
the president-wannabe’s supposedly described
the growing process as: “Dig a hole, put the
seed in the hole, cover the hole up, and apply
water. That’s all there is to it.” It’s pretty obvious that any individuals who thinks “that’s
all there is to it” has never grown anything
— except possibly their bank accounts. Yep,
planning is not only important, it’s critical, and
besides, at this time of year, it sure helps drive
away the blues as I look out on the snow-covered landscape and continually gray skies.
At least that’s how it seems to me.

he called proving the possibility
that Cline got into her car and
drove into the camping area to
help Hooton, not kill him.
It was reported Cline’s BAC
was .105 and Wooten’s BAC
was .20 when samples were
taken following the incident.
Plants also speculated from
which direction his client, who
had been drinking, believed she
was actually entering the camping area, citing damaged posts
in the vicinity.
Also, during his closing,
Plants revisited Dr. Mock’s testimony.

BEDFORD TWP. — The Bedford Township
Trustees will hold their regular monthly meeting at
7 p.m. at the Bedford Townhall.

Tuesday, March 10
POMEROY — The Meigs County Board of
Health meeting will take place at 5 p.m. in the conference room of the Meigs County Health Department, which is located at 112 E. Memorial Drive in
Pomeroy, Ohio.
SUTTON TWP. — The regular monthly meeting
of the Sutton Township Trustees will be held in the
Racine Village Hall Council Chambers beginning at
6 p.m.

“Dr. Mock agreed with me
that this accident could’ve happened with one pass over the
body,” Plants said. Plants also
called law enforcement reports
submitted to Mock “faulty.”
In his rebuttal, Stein said,
“Ladies and gentlemen, the evidence at the scene was consistent with what was contained
within the police reports.”
Stein further added the testimony of ofﬁcers was consistent
with the police reports. Stein
also returned to the testimony
of Dr. Mock.
“He’s not paid,” Stein said
of Mock. “We didn’t give him
a dime to come in and tell
you all what he thought… He
expressed to you that he was
neutral. He doesn’t care, he
doesn’t have an interest in
what his ﬁnding is, he just
wants his ﬁnding to be right.
So what did he tell us? His
opinion was that Carl Frederick
Hooton died as a result of multiple blunt force injuries of the
head and chest, intentionally
struck, scene reconstruction
suggests decedent was struck
multiple times as the assailant
intentionally made multiple
looping passes through the
death scene. He even told us,
and he doesn’t normally have
an opinion as to intent, but he
felt that all the circumstances

here supported such an opinion. That’s a pretty big statement ladies and gentlemen.
A guy that does this everyday
doesn’t usually take that next
step but he did in this case.
Why? Because he felt that
when looking at everything,
which, once again, he was the
only one to do, the only witness that looked at everything,
when he did, these are the conclusions that he came to.”
After deliberating for a
few hours on Friday, the jury
returned the guilty verdict
of involuntary manslaughter.
Prior to sentencing, Stein
consulted with Hooton’s family which had gathered in the
court room. Those family members present indicated they had
no desire to address the court
at that time. Then, presiding
Judge R. Craig Tatterson sentenced Cline to the maximum
penalty, which is one year in
jail and a $1,000 ﬁne. Cline,
who had already reportedly
served 20 months in jail, was
released, having already served
more than the maximum sentence for the crime for which
she was convicted.

HURRICANE, W.Va. — Eleven days later, not
much had changed.
The Hannan boys basketball team — which
dropped a 75-52 decision on Feb. 18 at Tolsia —
met with those same Rebels to open the Class
A Region IV, Section 2 tournament on Saturday
night at Hurricane High School, with secondseeded THS taking a 79-57 victory over the
seventh-seeded Wildcats.
Hannan (2-19) — ending the year on a
12-game skid — hit eight ﬁeld goals, including
a pair of three-pointers in the opening period.
Tolsia (12-11), however, poured in 21 in the
quarter, and led by three points eight minutes
into play.
A 17-to-8 run in the second stanza gave the
Rebels a 38-26 halftime lead. Tolsia added one
to its edge in the third quarter, outscoring the
Wildcats 19-to-18 for a 57-44 lead headed into
the ﬁnale.
Hannan marked 13 points over the ﬁnal eight
minutes, but THS tallied 22 to seal the 79-57
victory.
For the game, the Wildcats made 22-of-58
(37.9 percent) ﬁeld goal attempts, including
7-of-24 (29.2 percent) three-point tries, while
Tolsia shot 29-of-66 (43.9 percent) from the
ﬁeld, including 4-of-23 (17.4 percent) from
beyond the arc. At the foul line, Hannan was
4-of-12 (33.3 percent) and the Rebels shot 17-of21 (81 percent).
HHS won the rebounding battle by a 40-to-32
clip, but committed 23 turnovers, a dozen more
than Tolsia. THS also claimed a 22-to-15 advantage in assists.
Casey Lowery and Logan Barker led the Wildcats with 16 points apiece. Chandler Starkey
was next with 10 points and a team-best six
assists. Brady Edmunds recorded six points and
a game-best 12 rebounds for Hannan, Justin
Rainey added ﬁve points, while Dakota Watkins
chipped in with four markers.
Leading the Rebels, Jesse Muncy and Tyler
Johnson scored 25 and 21 points respectively.
Austin Salmons had 17 points and a team-high
seven rebounds for the victors, Zack Ball added
10 points and a team-best six assists, while
Steve Ward rounded out the team total with six
points.

OVP SPORTS BRIEF

Rio men post runner-up
finish at OBC championship
COLUMBUS, Ohio — The University of Rio
Grande recorded a runner-up ﬁnish in the men’s
division of the Ohio Bowling Conference Championship, Saturday afternoon, at Sawmill Lanes.
The RedStorm entered double-elimination
bracket play as the No. 4 seed after 12 games of
baker qualifying and defeated Walsh University and
Miami University in the opening two rounds.
A loss to the University of Akron sent Rio into
the loser’s bracket, but a 2-1 win over Muskingum
set up a rematch with the Zips in the championship
match.
Akron took the ﬁrst two games before the RedStorm won back-to-back games to force a winnertake-all match.
Rio fought hard, but three splits proved detrimental and allowed the Zips to claim the title.
Junior Chris Somerville (Gallipolis, OH) and
freshman Reece Collins (Columbus, OH) were both
named to the All-Conference team based on their
respective performances in the league’s four regular
season tournaments.
Rio Grande will return to action at the United
States Bowling Congress ITC Singles Tournament
on Friday, March 13, in Addison, Ill.

Bowman makes case to keep his Hendrick ride
drivers routinely passed
over by the top teams.
They settle for underfunded teams, often have
to bring their own sponsorship, don’t make much
of a salary and never have
a fair shot to win each
week.
“Every year is a contract
year. Every year of my life
in the Cup Series has been
a contract year,” Bowman
said. “I’ve had contracts
and two weeks before Daytona read a tweet that said
I’m not going to Daytona.”
His break came in 2016
when the 22-year-old took
his ﬁrst big step away
from driving bad race
cars. Bowman patched
together nine Xﬁnity
Series races with Dale

His plan worked to perfection when Earnhardt
retired after the 2017
season and Rick Hendrick
gave Bowman the No. 88
Chevrolet.
But going into the
ﬁnal year of a three-year
contract, Bowman understood it was going to be a
struggle to keep that seat
considering how many
drivers will be available
at the end of the season.
Hendrick already needs
a driver to replace seventime champion Jimmie
Johnson when he steps
back from a full schedule.
So Bowman opened the
year determined not to
lose the No. 88.
He qualiﬁed second for
the Daytona 500, might

long portion of that season with lingering effects
from multiple concussions. Hendrick Motorsports called Bowman for
10 of those races and he
grabbed the ﬁrst pole of
his career and notched
three top-10 ﬁnishes as a
substitute.
Bowman again refused
slow cars all of 2017. He
ran just three times all
year — one Truck Series
race, twice in the Xﬁnity
Series and nothing at all
in Cup — and practiced
his craft on simulators
while waiting to be considered for a seat in a car
that can actually win.

The victory locked
Bowman into the 16-driver playoff ﬁeld just three
weeks into the season. He
is the ﬁrst Hendrick driver to win this year and
the ﬁrst to win in the new
Chevrolet Camaro. The
car struggled through
two seasons after its
introduction and Chevrolet was shut out of the
championship ﬁnale both
years. NASCAR allowed

“triple-double” performances in program history — three of which
came this season.
She earned three River
States Conference Player
of the Week awards this
season and was also
named NAIA National
Player of the Week for the
week of Jan. 27, 2020.
Rio Grande was also
represented on the allconference second team
by redshirt freshman forward Lexi Woods (Waverly, OH), who averaged
14.8 points, 6.1 rebounds
and 1.6 assists per game.
Woods also ranked second in the league in overall ﬁeld goal percentage
(53.1%) and was ninth
in free throw percentage
(79.7%).
WVU Tech head coach
Anna Kowalska was
named RSC Women’s
Basketball Coach of the
Year, earning the honor
in each of ﬁrst two seasons as head coach of the
Golden Bears.
Kowalska led Tech to
the RSC regular season

MIDDLETOWN,
Ohio — University of Rio
Grande senior Sydney
Holden has been named
the 2019-20 River States
Conference Women’s Basketball Player of the Year.
Holden’s award — and
the naming of the allconference teams and
remaining individual honors — were announced
Monday by league ofﬁcials. The selections were
made through nominations and voting of the 12
RSC head coaches.
Holden, a 5-foot-9
native of Wheelersburg,
Ohio, was the top votegetter in the balloting.
She averaged 15.7 points,
8.5 rebounds, 6.5 assists
and 1.8 steals per game,
leading the RedStorm in
all four categories.
Holden, who ranks
third nationally in assists
per game and second in
total assists (201), was
very efﬁcient offensively
shooting 50 percent from
the ﬁeld, 41 percent from
beyond the arc and 83
percent at the foul line.
Holden is also responsible for four of the ﬁve

MIDWAY, Ky. — Host Midway University
banged out 11 hits in both ends of a doubleheader
and completed a series sweep of the University of
Rio Grande by scores of 8-3 and 9-6, Sunday afternoon, in River States Conference baseball action
at Farmer-Ball Stadium.
The Eagles improved to 7-10 overall and 3-0 in
league play with the weekend sweep.
Rio Grande continued its season-long struggle,
slipping to 0-18 overall and 0-3 in the RSC.
A pair of four-run innings in the nightcap spelled
doom for the RedStorm, who trailed 9-2 after four
innings.
Rio mounted a rally with one run in the ﬁfth and
three more markers in the sixth, but couldn’t complete the comeback.
Junior Cody Gabriel (Upper Sandusky, OH)
started and took the loss for the RedStorm, allowing eight hits and six runs — three earned — over
three innings. He walked three and fanned six.
Senior Isaiah Lewis (Willingboro, NJ) ﬁnished
2-for-3 with a double and two RBI in the loss,
while freshman Austin Kendall (Troy, OH) also
had a pair of hits and senior Caden Cluxton
(Washington Court House, OH) clubbed a solo
home run.
Cameron Nichols went 2-for-3 and drove in three
runs to pace Midway offensively, while Graham
Luttor also went 2-for-3 with a run batted in.
Tyson Orr and Skylar Lucas added two hits
apiece in the winning effort, while Ryan Davis
tripled and drove in a run.
Dillon Bland evened his record at 2-2 for the
Eagles, allowing four hits and three runs — one
earned — over ﬁve innings.
In game one, Rio led 2-1 after 2-1/2 innings
before the hosts scored twice in the bottom of the
third to take the lead and three more times in the
ﬁfth to blow things open.
Nichols went 3-for-4 with a home run and three
RBI for Midway, while Davis was 3-for-4 with a
double and a run batted in.
Luttor added two hits, including a home run,
in the victory, while Corey Plahuta doubled and
drove in two runs and Orr had a triple.
Mark Taylor scattered eight hits over as many
innings to earn the victory for the Eagles.
Graduate senior Zach Kendall (Troy, OH) started and took the loss for Rio, surrendering eight
hits, four walks and six runs over four innings.
Cluxton had three hits to lead the RedStorm
at the plate, while Lewis and senior Juan Familia
(Reading, PA) had two hits apiece. Lewis also had
Rio’s only RBI in the contest.
