In late July 2019, on all the usual podcast platforms, coaches Chris Stewart and Pat Martin — both natives of Middleport — launched The Coaching Life Podcast, discussing coaching, parenting, and player development in all of amateur sports. Now, nearly 70 episodes in, the hosts are still out to make a positive impact, and advocate for youth sports in rural America. Martin has coached youth sports — baseball and basketball — for around 24 years, making his coaching debut at 16-years-old, coaching a 12U baseball team out of Rutland. “When I began coaching, the X’s and O’s meant a whole lot more to me than they do now,” Martin admitted. “Now you kind of focus on the person as opposed to the player. “I’ve been a different kind of coach for the last 14 years, I’ve been a dadcoach. I would say I probably learned more about coaching over that period of time, than all the other time put together.” Martin is a father of two boys, ages 14 and 10. Stewart’s coaching career began with a 15U baseball team from Waverly, after turning down a contract to play in the Frontier League in 1994. “I found the love that I had playing the game, it literally transferred into coaching,” Stewart said. “The more I got into coaching, the more I realized, I actually love this game. I learned aspects of the game that I took for granted when I was playing.” Stewart moved to St. Louis in 1996, coaching a team of players from Courtesy photos Coach Chris Stewart puts an arm around his son, Brock, following a Division II district championship victory in Athens, Ohio. “Let’s make no mistake, southeastern Ohio, even in the realm of high school sports, for years has been overlooked. There’s all these stereotypes people have of rural America and these smaller towns, and ironically enough, rural America produced one of the greatest college quarterbacks to ever play the game.” — Chris Stewart Co-host, The Coaching Life Podcast as a three-sport high Coach Pat Martin puts an arm around his son, Jeremiah, in the school athlete at AHS.

After retiring from the mines, Chuck worked at Yusa in Jamestown, Ohio, Smith Lumber in Thurman, Ohio, and later at the Gallia County Highway Department before retiring a second time in 2012. Chuck married Lori McNeal on September 20, 1976 in Elizabeth City, North Carolina. They were blessed with one daughter, Alicia (Chris) Lortz of Lancaster, Ohio and two sons, Charles (Rachel) Chambers and James (Lindsay Collins) Chambers both of Patriot, Ohio.

Chuck was one of the organizers responsible for getting the Greenﬁeld Volunteer Fire Department started, where he became the ﬁrst chief of the department. He never met a stranger.

Amazon wins FAA approval to deliver packages by drone NEW YORK (AP) — Getting an Amazon package delivered from the sky is closer to becoming a reality. The Federal Aviation Administration said Monday it had granted Amazon approval to deliver packages by drones. Amazon said that the approval is an “important step,” but added that it is still testing and ﬂying the drones. It did not say when it expected drones to make deliveries to shoppers. The online shopping giant has been working on drone delivery for years, but it has been slowed by regulatory hurdles. Back in December 2013, Amazon CEO and founder Jeff Bezos said in a TV interview that drones would be ﬂying to customer’s homes within ﬁve years. Last year, Amazon unveiled self-piloting drones that are fully electric, can carry 5 pounds of goods and are designed to deliver items in 30 minutes. female in the 20 to 29-year-old age range, who is not hospitalized. 3.

The Marauders outscored the Vikings 22-6 in the fourth period to post the come-from-behind win, a contest that was delayed at the start for a short amount of time due to lightning — and again in the ﬁrst period for over an hour. It was an impressive performance for the Marauders (1-0, 1-0 TVC Ohio) under second year head coach David Tennant, who now owns a 2-game winning streak dating back to last fall. The Vikings went into the season with high hopes but the Marauders played toe-to-toe with the hosts. Meigs drew ﬁrst blood in the contest as a Viking punt gave the ball to the Maroon and Gold at the Viking 47. On ﬁrst down Cleland kept the ball for 20 yards. Jake McElroy then scored from 27 yards out, ﬁghting through Viking defenders the ﬁnal seven yards to give Meigs a 6-0 lead with 5:58 reaming. At that point a second storm rolled in and delayed the contest for over an hour. Vinton County (0-1, 0-1) took the lead with 6:21 left in the half when Broc Moore scored from two yards out, Braylon Damron added the extra points. The Viking drove to the Marauder one late in the half, but a holding penalty on the Vikings put the ball on the 11. Morgan Roberts then threw Damron for a 8-yard loss. The half ended when Damron’s pass was caught out of the end zone as time expired in the half. Vinton increased the lead to 14-6, when Moore took and inside hand off and went 30 yards for the score. The extra point was no good, and the third period ended with the Vikings on top 14-6. The Marauders pulled to within two at the 9:43 mark of the fourth period when freshman Dillon Howard made a nice catch and spin out of a Viking tackle at the ﬁve and went into the end zone for the score. The Vikings came right back however when Zach Radabaugh scored from 19 yards out with See RALLY | 7 OVP SPORTS SCHEDULE Tuesday, Sept. 1 Volleyball Ironton at Gallia Academy, 6:30 Belpre at Eastern, 7:15 Nelsonville-York at Meigs, 7:15 River Valley at Wellston, 7:30 Southern at Waterford, 7:15 Soccer Alexander at Gallia Academy girls, 5:30 Alexander at Gallia Academy boys, 7 p.m. Cross Country River Valley at Huntinton Ross, 4:30 Golf River Valley at Wahama, 4 p.m. Marietta, Athens at Meigs girls, 4 p.m. Eastern at Waterford, 4:30 WVSSAC Girls State Tournament, 10 a.m. Wednesday, Sept. 2 Volleyball Southern at Wahama, 7:15 Soccer Nicholas County at Point Pleasant girls, 6 p.m. Nicholas County at Point Pleasant boys, 8 p.m. Gallia Academy boys at Wellston, 5:30 Cross Country Gallia Academy at Warren, 5 p.m. Golf Point Pleasant at Wahama, 4 p.m. Alex Hawley|OVP Sports Gallia Academy junior Daunevyn Woodson (4) hauls in a 35-yard touchdown pass in front of a South Point defender, during the Blue Devils’ 41-0 win on Friday in Gallipolis, Ohio. Blue Devils stomp South Point By Alex Hawley ahawley@aimmediamidwest.com GALLIPOLIS, Ohio — The Blue Devils had no problem ﬁtting a whole game’s worth of production into a single half. With thunderstorms surrounding Memorial Field, the Gallia Academy football team had Friday’s season-opening contest called at halftime, leaving the Blue Devils a 41-0 victory over Ohio Valley Conference guest South Point. GAHS (1-0, 1-0 OVC) — celebrating senior night prior to the game — needed just 48 seconds and three plays to ﬁnd the end zone, with James Armstrong breaking a 55-yard run down the sideline for six points. Caleb Geiser made his ﬁrst of ﬁve point-after kicks, giving the hosts a 7-0 lead. The Blue Devil defense forced a threeand-out its ﬁrst time on the ﬁeld, with Coen Duncan recording a third-down sack 11 yards in the backﬁeld. Armstrong returned the ensuing punt to the end zone, but a penalty took the score off the board. GAHS was backed up twice more on false start penalties, but once the Blue Devils got in sync, they needed just ﬁve plays to get the score back. GAHS senior Noah Vanco tossed a 35-yard touchdown pass to Daunevyn Woodson with 6:55 left in the ﬁrst quarter, giving the hosts a 13-0 edge. SPHS (0-1, 0-1) picked up two ﬁrst downs on its next drive, one via penalty and one via pass, and pinned the Blue Devils back to their own ﬁve-yard line with a punt at the 3:17 mark of the quarter. After gaining two dozen yards over a trio of carries, Gallia Academy went back to the air and back to the end zone. This time it was Briar Williams on the receiving end of a 71-yard touchdown pass from Vanco, giving the hosts a 20-0 advantage with 2:06 left in the ﬁrst. South Point’s next drive — which was interrupted by a 30-minute lightning delay with 28 seconds left in the opening quarter — included three ﬁrst downs, two on penalties and one on a run. However, the drive was stalled after a ﬁrst down sack by Zack Hemby sent the guests back eight yards. The punt three plays later gave GAHS the ball on its own 16. A 67-yard touchdown was called back because of a penalty on the third play of the drive, but the Blue and White ended up in the end zone four plays later anyway. GAHS senior Michael Beasy delivered the score on an eight-yard run, making the Blue Devil lead 27-0 with 7:59 left in the ﬁrst half. Next, the Pointers went three-and-out, but forced a turnover on downs to get the ball back at their own 49. The guests made it into Blue Devil territory, and went for it on fourth down, but a group sack by Duncan, Trent Johnson and Collin Watson got the ball back for Gallia Academy. Four consecutive run plays carried the Blue Devils all the way from their own 41 to the end zone, with Armstrong delivering the points on a nine-yard touchdown run with 2:53 left in the half. A 15-yard penalty after the extra-point put the Blue Devils on the SPHS side of the ﬁeld to kick off, and GAHS took advantage. Geiser recovered his own onside kick, and the Gallia Academy offense set up for what turned out to be its ﬁnal drive of the night with 32 yards to paydirt. A 30-yard pass on fourth down pass from Vanco to Woodson put the Blue Devils within a yard of the goalline, and Beasy punched in to make the hosts’ lead 41-0 with 52 seconds left in the half. After the ensuing kickoff, lightning returned to the skies and the teams were sent to their locker rooms. A few minutes later, it was announced that the game had been called ﬁnal, with Gallia Academy winning 41-0. For the game, Gallia Academy held a 418-to-52 advantage in total offense, backing the Pointers up 12 yards on the ground. The Blue Devils had a 16-to-5 advantage in ﬁrst downs, but were ﬂagged eight times for a total of 65 yards, while SPHS was sent back ﬁve times for 55 yards. Vanco completed 10-of-14 pass attempts for 211 yards and two touchdowns, and gained four yards on his only carry of the game. Armstrong had 151 yards and two touchdowns on 11 carries, to go with one 12-yard reception, while Beasy ran six times for 52 yards and two scores, and picked up two yards on his only catch. Woodson hauled in a game-best four passes for 73 yards and a touchdown in the win. Williams caught two passes for 89 yards and a score, while Kenyon Franklin and Zach Belville had a reception apiece, gaining 24 and 11 yards respectively. For South Point, Malik Pegram was 4-of-10 for 64 yards, completing two passes for 35 yards to Cody Brandt, and two passes for 29 yards to Bryson Hackworth. T.J.
