POMEROY — Pomeroy Village Council held a lengthy meeting Monday night, covering park and recreation topics, a solution for remaining parking meter poles, and police expenditures. Lions Club representative Kenny Klein asked the council to keep the remaining parking meter poles because the organization mounts ﬂag holders on the bases. The ﬂag services are a signiﬁcant fundraiser, and Klein proposed the Lions Club would paint, cap, and maintain the poles. Council approved the arrangement, contingent on ﬁnding an agreeable color palette with the town’s historic aesthetic. Merchants Association delegates requested a point of contact for information on large events, like the many weekend festivals Pomeroy hosts over the summer. “Customers come in and ask us about times and parking, but we can’t really give them any info,” they explained. Mayor Bryan Shank agreed issues like parking enforcement could be more smoothly handled with more coordination, and the matter was added to the scheduled Parks and Recreation Committee meeting June 19. That meeting, to be held at 6 p.m. prior to the next regularly scheduled council meeting, will include discussion on a land parcel, adjacent to the park, to be donated by Farmers Bank. Village Administrator Joe Wood- all answered questions on possible cost saving measures at the water treatment plant and the vehicle garage, and commented on the second reading of a new cross connection control ordinance, more commonly called backﬂow regulation. “This has been a major EPA push,” said Woodall, as he recapped some of the worst case scenarios of water supply contamination the ordinance will help prevent. Councilperson Ruth Spaun also secured the release of a stolen Oak Street sign, and presented the rescued signpost to Woodall. Bills were paid in the amount of $30,836.16.

THEIR VIEW The changing face of faith By James A. Haught Contributing columnist A stately United Methodist church in our town, ﬁnally vacant, will be razed for a parking lot. A few remaining old-time members are saddened. Actually, loss of once-thriving churches is common nowadays for Methodism and other parts of mainline Protestantism. They’ve suffered a halfcentury of relentless shrinkage. Back in the 1960s, when U.S. Methodists merged with Evangelical United Brethren, the faith had 11 million adherents. At that time, the U.S. population was 180 million. Now the United Methodist Church has dropped to just 7 million American members, while the nation’s population almost doubled. The same downsizing hit most other mainline branches. America’s two chief Presbyterian denominations (later merged) had 4.2 million members in the 1960s — but now the combined Presbyterian Church USA is down to 1.5 million. The Episcopal Church had 3.6 million in the 1960s, but only 1.8 million today. The Disciples of Christ fell from 1.9 million to 600,000. When I came of age in 1950s, so-called mainline Protestantism — respected, “tall-steeple” churches with seminary-educated pastors — was the very essence of America. Catholicism and fundamentalism seemed like fringes. But U.S. culture shifted. The mainline went into decline, while Catholics and evangelicals boomed. Megachurches featuring dynamic preachers blossomed. Pentecostalism, in which members speak in tongues, grew rapidly. Then secularism — which soared in Europe and other democracies after World War II — hit America. Starting in the 1990s, the number of younger Americans who say their faith is “none” rose with surprising swiftness. Now, the Public Religion Research institute says “nones” have become America’s largest category at 25 percent, surpassing Catholics (21 percent) and white evangelicals (16 percent). Mainliners have fallen to around 15 percent, followed by Mormons at perhaps 7 percent or less. Signiﬁcantly, while Christianity declines in America, it is booming in southern, tropical, Third World nations. Pentecostalism has surged so much in the south that almost one-fourth of all the world’s Christians now follow this emotional faith. At Easter, the director of the Billy Graham Center at Wheaton College wrote in The Washington Post that America’s mainline Protestants have “just 23 Easters left” if current decline rates continue. Ed Stetzer said: “Now, less than one of 33 people you meet on the street regularly attends a mainline Protestant church. … Trend lines are showing a trajectory toward zero in both those who attend a mainline church regularly and those who identify with a mainline denomination 23 years from now. While the sky isn’t falling, the ﬂoor is dropping out.” Of course, trends on charts rarely reach zero. But demographics show clearly that U.S. religion has undergone enormous change since a halfcentury ago. Not even prophecy believers can see what’s ahead. James A.

YOUR VIEW Reader gives article failing grade Dear Editor, The Daily Sentinel on June 6, page 5, printed an article titled “Southern holds academic banquet.” The guest speaker was acknowledged along with the food servers, the 20 sponsors, and the 14 academic banquet committee members. I found it interesting that academic banquet is a common noun while Academic Banquet Committee is a proper noun. This might suggest that the committee is more important that the banquet. I doubt that this is anything more than human error. So too is the “it’s” in the sentence “Southern would like to thank it’s many sponsors…” It’s is a contraction, a short version of it is. The appropriate word in that sentence would be its, a possessive pronoun, which shows ownership. Also, the comma between “poem” and “The Road Not Taken” is an error. A comma between a noun and its appositive indicates the appositive is not essential. In this case “The Road Not Taken” is clearly needed if the sentence is to make sense. I apologize for the preceding didactic comments. Still, an academic banquet should honor boys and girls who excel academically. This article fails to name one. The omission of one honoree in error would have been sad, but the omission of all 97 names is inexcusable. I doubt the writer intended to be unkind, but these children selected for excellent academic achievements received a loud, clear message in that piece, that their anonymity is appropriate. Shame on Southern Local and Meigs County if this is accepted journalism. Outraged, Jennings Beegle Racine, Ohio (Editor’s note: The article regarding the above mentioned academic banquet was printed as submitted to The Daily Sentinel by Southern Local Schools.) Reunion leaves questions for reader Dear Editor, For the second year in a row, the Racine-Southern Alumni Association has held what I would call a secret reunion. Nothing was placed in the paper to announce the reunion, its location, and cost. No letters were sent out to alumni. Many older alumni like me don’t have internet if it was on there. What is going on? This was my 70th year reunion, and I had no way to get together with my remaining class members because I could not ﬁnd out any information about the banquet. Besides this, the association never publishes the list of attendees in the paper as all the other school reunions do. This was brought up several years ago only to see one year published and then the practice of not publishing the list resumed. Over the years, the alumni association has slowly eliminated many of the activities. There is no dinner music, no speaker, and no alumni queen. Can’t these be resumed? Along the same line, it seems that the leadership of the Southern Local Schools is doing its best to kill the alumni reunion. Graduation has been for decades on either a Friday or a Sunday. The schools know full well that the alumni banquet is on Saturday, but for the last two years it has scheduled high school graduation the same evening. Yet, the schools love all the scholarships given by the alumni to graduates. I can only infer that this placement of the graduation on Saturdays is to kill the alumni banquet. Sincerely, June Ashley (Editor’s note: The Daily Sentinel received no notice of the above mentioned reunion prior to it being held. Free community announcements can be sent to tdsnews@civitasmedia.com for publication consideration.) Theft of flags no badge of honor Dear Editor, As a member of the Drew Webster American Legion Post of Pomeroy is it appalling to hear of the theft of the American ﬂag and the ﬂags of our armed forces on three occasions since Memorial Day at the Bridge of Honor ﬂag poles. Prior to Memorial Day the American Legion Veterans of Foreign Wars and civic groups placed many hundreds of ﬂags on the graves of veterans who have honorably served our country with some making the ultimate sacriﬁce of their lives serving our country, protecting our freedoms and our great way of life. I consider it an honor to place these ﬂags in various cemeteries in Meigs County and also to serve in the honor guard to honor and show respect for a fallen comrade at funeral homes and cemeteries. It is such a dishonor for an individual to steal these ﬂags and an insult to all red blooded patriotic Americans who served in the armed forces or who are presently serving. These ﬂag poles were placed at the bridge in honor of our country and our branches of the military service by Marshall Aanastead of the Karr family as a project for his Eagle Scout badge. A lot of thought and work went in to making this a reality. This was a job really well done. Once in place, the ﬂags were placed under control of our legion post to maintain and replace the ﬂags as needed. A ﬂag fund was established to provide these services from donations or proceeds from a 50/50 drawing at the post, once again the veterans stand tall to help. For these ﬂags to be stolen is really hard to comprehend. This a far cry from pulling a prank on a school by stealing a mascot or school banner. If someone needs a ﬂag so badly, please contact a Legion member or a VFW member. We will gladly help out. Please do not disrespect America in this way. Celebrate America.

That would be the ﬁrst thing. Don’t come in feeling like you know it all and be willing to accept some change along the way. Maybe a lot of change along the way. Because things change. America is on a 10 to 12 year change. You see stuff change about every 10 to 12 years. Things go, new things come. You see that. And more than anything, realize if you start, you’d better be dedicated. It’s not just 9 to 5.

In addition, he volunteers each owner are when he can be a part of a family’s joyous occasion. “I always look at occasions like proms and weddings as you’re making memories. Memories that will last for a lifetime,” said Biars. Prom, obviously, is a busy time for Floral Fashions. In 2017, the staff designed more prom pieces than ever and Biars credits employee Gigi Neff with the success of the season. “I have probably the best prom design person around,” said Biars. “She did all of our prom bouquets and corsages.” Weddings hold a special place for Biars, who enjoys the moment when he reveals the bouquet to the bride. “When you hand them their bouquet, and the bride says ‘It’s just perfect’, that has been a joy – seeing the bride happy,” said Biars.

I think, maybe in business today, we’ve lost that. I think we forget, when a customer walks in the door, that’s the person who really pays our bills. That’s the person who supports us.” Whether it is a corsage for a ﬁrst dance, a bouquet for a wedding, a ﬁrst grandbaby piece or a funeral piece, the staff at Floral Fashions focus on cultivating relationships with their customers, no matter the age. “I see them as not just a customer then, but as customers through the years,” said Biars.

Wahama Athletic Alex Hawley/OVP Sports Southern senior Blake Johnson (4) looks for a lead block from Andrew Evans (73) during the Tornadoes’ 41-0 victory over Miller on September 16, 2016, in Racine, Ohio. 4 locals competing in BACF Classic By Bryan Walters bwalters@civitasmedia.com MARIETTA, Ohio — The 24th annual Battle Against Cystic Fibrosis Football Classic will be held Friday at Don Drumm Stadium on the campus of Marietta College in Washington County. The 2017 version of the Ohio versus West Virginia gridiron affair again has a bit of a local ﬂare as four recent Ohio Valley Publishing area graduates will be participating in the contest. Southern — which earned the program’s second-ever playoff berth in 2016 — will have a trio of representatives in Blake Johnson, Trey Pickens and Jaylen Blanks, while Point Pleasant also has one selection in kicker Jason Schultz. Three of the four OVP area choices earned all-state honors this past football season, except Blanks — who missed a handful of games due to injury. The Tornado trio will participate as members of the Ohio team, which is being coached by Marietta’s Jason Schob. Schultz is part of the West Virginia squad being led by former Gallia Academy and current Parkersburg South coach Mike Eddy. West Virginia leads the series by a 15-8 margin, including wins in ﬁve of the last seven games. The Mountain State also won last year’s home contest by a 24-7 count at Sta- dium Field in Parkersburg. Schultz accounted for 90 total points during the Big Blacks’ ninth straight season with a playoff berth. Schultz went 60-of-69 in point-after tries and also made 10 ﬁeld goals during the 2016 campaign. Johnson — a quarterback — completed 45-of-92 passes for 1,262 yards and 16 touchdowns through the air while also amassing 139 rushing yards and four scores on 56 attempts. Pickens was a key piece to both interior fronts for SHS, earning all-Ohio honors as an offensive lineman. Blanks rushed for 376 yards and ﬁve scores on 44 attempts and also had one catch for 56 yards and a score. Additional players may have been added to the rosters between the release date and the night of the game. All tickets at the gates are $5 apiece.

The event will be held in a four-man scramble See BRIEFS | 7 Bryan Walters/OVP Sports Recent Wahama graduate Philip Hoffman releases a pitch during a May 2 regular season contest against Wirt County on Cook Field at Claflin Stadium in Mason, W.Va. CHARLESTON, W.Va. — There was no three-peat, but good things still came in threes this spring for Wahama. The White Falcons landed three players on the West Virginia Sports Writers’ Association Class A all-state baseball teams for the 2017 campaign — as voted on by a select panel of media members throughout the Mountain State. Wahama — winners of the 2015 and 2016 Class A baseball titles — failed to reach the regional tournament for the ﬁrst time in nine years, but the Red and White still put together an 18-11 overall mark this past season. The White Falcons had a pair of repeat selections to the all-state squad in senior Philip Hoffman and junior Dalton Kearns. Sophomore David Hendrick also landed on the list for the ﬁrst time in his baseball career. Hoffman — a Marshall University signee — was named to the ﬁrst team for a third consecutive season, but the 2017 campaign was the ﬁrst time he wasn’t chosen as a pitcher. The 2016 Class A captain, Hoffman was chosen as a utility player in his senior campaign after batting .384 with 31 RBIs and 37 runs scored. Hoffman was 4-4 overall in 47.1 innings of work as a pitcher, recording 88 strikeouts and 26 walks while posting a 3.55 earned run average. Kearns was a special honorable mention selection after batting .323 while scoring 33 runs and knocking in 25 RBIs. Kearns — primarily a middle inﬁelder — was also 8-2 in 51.2 innings of work while recording 61 strikeouts and posting a .244 ERA. Hendrick was named to the honorable mention list after hitting .391 and scoring 27 runs in his ﬁrst full season as a starter. Hendrick — primarily used as a catcher — also drove in 15 runs in 69 at-bats.

(AP) — The University of Mississippi disputes the NCAA’s charges of lack of institutional control and failure to monitor by head coach Hugh Freeze. The Ole Miss football program released its response Tuesday to a second NCAA Notice of Allegations in less than two years. The ﬁrst notice alleged 13 violations while the second added eight more, bringing the total to 21. Fifteen of them are classiﬁed by the NCAA as Level I, which the governing body deems most serious. Ole Miss, which also disputes several of the new allegations, said no “reasonable compliance or monitoring system” could have caught or prevented the Level I violations. “According to the University’s research, an institutional control violation has never been triggered by the mere existence of an underlying violation or even multiple, serious violations,” Ole Miss said in the response posted on the school’s web site. “Instead, it is a unique, stand-alone allegation that requires a big-picture review of the University’s commitment to compliance with NCAA rules.

Robinson. Bench. Perez. Junior. All of them can just scooter on down the list of great Cincinnati slugfests. A diminutive inﬁelder has done all of them one better. Scooter Gennett put on the greatest home run show in franchise history and ended the night grinning at the sheer improbability of it. The Cincinnati native hit four homers — only the 17th to do it in major league history — and matched the Reds record by driving in 10 runs during a 13-1 victory over the shell-shocked St. Louis Cardinals on Tuesday night. “I was kind of laughing, to be honest with you,” Gennett said. “For a guy like me to do that is crazy — a little short of a miracle.” With homers in his last four at-bats , Scooter became a slugger. Baseball’s Hall of Fame called, wanting his uniform from the historic night. He stripped from his cap to his cleats, which were still wet from a celebratory onﬁeld soaking by teammates. “It’s surreal, man, it really is,” Gennett said, wearing backup clothes after the others were whisked away. “I’m truly blessed. I’m from here, born here. Watching all those guys play when I was little. And to do something that’s never been done — I can’t put words on it.” Try one: Unmatched. No major leaguer had ever gotten ﬁve hits, four homers and 10 RBIs in a game, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. Gennett’s 17 total bases also were a club record. “He had a career night, a great night,” said Adam Wainwright (6-4), who gave up Gennett’s second career grand slam. “Guys do that now and then. He almost beat us by himself tonight.” He was the most unlikely player on the roster to power his way into history. The 5-foot-10, 185pound inﬁelder was claimed off waivers from Milwaukee during spring training for a utility role. Some seasons, he barely hit four homers at all — he reached double-digits only once and had 38 career heading into the game. And then, there was Tuesday. The 27-year-old Gennett joined the Cardinals’ Mark Whiten as John Minchillo | AP Cincinnati Reds’ Scooter Gennett runs the bases after hitting a grand slam off St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Adam Wainwright, right, in the third inning of a game Tuesday in Cincinnati. the only players with a grand slam among four homers in a game, according to Elias. Whiten did it in 1993 at the Reds’ old riverfront ballpark, driving in 12 runs that stand as the major league record. Josh Hamilton was the last player to hit four home runs in one game, for Texas against Baltimore in May 2012. The last National League player to hit four home runs in one game was Shawn Green for the Los Angeles Dodgers against Milwaukee in May 2002. “It’s amazing, especially since he’s not an everyday player for us,” manager Bryan Price said. “He’s got power, but four homers in one game? I don’t know what to tell you. “It’s very emotional. It was an honor to witness that.” Adding to the surprise: Gennett had just ended an 0-for-19 slump with a double on Monday night. By going 5 for 5 on Tuesday, he raised his batting average 32 points to .302. Gennett got his big night started with an RBI single off Wainwright , who brought a long scoreless streak into the game but couldn’t handle a team that has hit him like no other. He lasted only 3 2/3 innings and gave up nine runs for just the third time in his career. The last time? Also against Cincinnati in 2013. �SPORTS/CLASSIFIEDS 8 Thursday, June 8, 2017 Daily Sentinel Fox plans all-American World Cup broadcast crew NEW YORK (AP) — Fox plans to go all-American with its top broadcast crew for next year’s World Cup, pairing playby-play man John Strong in the booth with former U.S. national team players Landon Donovan and Stuart Holden. “Soccer in our country is at a point now where I think we’re ready to do that, and we have announcers and talent that are capable of bringing educated options,” Holden said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press. “I think it’s time. I think it’s time that we embrace the American voices.” They will broadcast Thursday night’s World Cup qualiﬁer between the U.S. and Trinidad and Tobago in Colorado. Strong and Holden will call Sunday’s qualiﬁer at Mexico and will be the primary announce team for the Confederations Cup in Russia starting June 17. Donovan will skip the Confederations Cup while awaiting the birth of a child. “They’re American voices, diverse American voices,” said David Neal, executive producer of Fox’s World Cup coverage. “Soccer is truly becoming a mainstream sport. I think it’s in the top four already. I think it’s supplanted the NHL.” Fox announced its Confederations Cup coverage Wednesday, and Neal said the three-man booth with Strong, Don- ovan and Holden was likely to be the network’s top World Cup team. “At this moment, that’s where we’re looking. Obviously, we’ve got 13 months before have to lock it in,” he said. “Stu is effervescent, and Landon is probably a little more laconic. It really is a perfect pair of personalities that can help each other.” ESPN broadcast the World Cup in the U.S. from 1994 through 2014, and at the last two tournaments it relied heavily on British play-by-play men led by Martin Tyler, Ian Darke and Jon Champion. Fox experimented in 2013-14 with using Gus Johnson, best known for his calls of college basketball and the NFL, as its lead soccer announcer. Strong, 31, started broadcasting matches of Major League Soccer’s Portland Timbers. He called MLS for NBC in 2013-14, then switched to Fox when it reacquired the league’s rights in 2015. “You have this generation of people in their 30s and younger that is really driving the growth of the sport in this country,” Strong said, citing the 1994 World Cup in the U.S., the launch of MLS two years later and international coverage on Fox Soccer Channel as “formative building blocks of what the American soccer culture is now.” “Soccer became a part of your life at a much younger age than previous generations of Americans,” he said. “I have as an announcer inﬂuences that absolutely come from the American sports announcers I grew up on, guys like Al Michaels and Keith Jackson and Pat Summerall. But also, too, the inﬂuences of the English soccer announcers, John Motson on the FIFA video games, Martin Tyler calling games that I would watch on Fox Sports World, as well as the inﬂuence of Andres Cantor and the style of announcing you would hear on Univision or Telemundo.” Fox’s other two broadcast teams for the Confederations Cup will call matches from the network’s studio in Los Angeles: JP Dellacamera and Brad Friedel, and Jorge Perez-Navarro and Cobi Jones. Kate Abdo hosts studio coverage from Russia, where Fox will be based in St. Petersburg, and analysts include Lothar Matthaeus, Guus Hiddink and Eric Wynalda. Rob Stone anchors the Los Angeles studio, where Alexi Lalas, Arne Friedrich, Fernando Fiore, Aly Wagner and Mariano Trujillo are the analysts. Donovan, 35, starred for the U.S. at the 2002, 2006 and 2010 World Cup and set the Ameri- can record for international goals with 57. He was controversially cut by coach Jurgen Klinsmann from the 2014 roster. Holden, 31, was born in Scotland and grew up in Texas. He had a breakout season with Bolton in 2010-11 and scored three goals in 25 appearances for the U.S. national team. But he was unable to recover from injuries that started when his right leg was broken by Nigel de Jong’s tackle during the Americans’ exhibition game at the Netherlands in March 2010. His left knee was injured by Manchester United defender Jonny Evans in March 2011, and Holden never was the same player. “We had a quick, probably 10-second exchange on the phone after it was announced on TV how long I was going to be out for. He just reached out brieﬂy, said was a really bad tackle by him, he was really sorry and good luck. It was like a one-word thank you from me,” Holden recalled this week. “I wasn’t in a good place at that time. I was very frustrated because my career was kind of hitting peak. “I don’t harbor many hard feels towards that. It is what it is now. I will say when I do see him play in the Premier League on Saturday mornings, I’m not always rooting for his team.” Notices Notices Money To Lend Miscellaneous Small Engine Mechanic: F/T Position w/benefits NOTICE OHIO VALLEY PUBLISHING CO.

The Sooners earned just a No. 10 seed in the NCAA Tournament. They lost their NCAA opener to North Dakota State before rallying, then had to go to Auburn and win a super regional. Even when they recovered at the Women’s College World Series and reached the championship round, they faced No. 1 seed Florida and its two All-American pitchers. In the end, Oklahoma found a way, including a 17-inning win in Game 1. On Tuesday night, Shay Knighten hit a three-run double in the second inning, and the Sooners defeated Florida 5-4 to win it all again. The Sooners (61-9) took both games from Florida in the best-of-three series to earn their third NCAA title in ﬁve years. “I still cannot believe that this happened, with where we started and where we ﬁnished,” Oklahoma coach Patty Gasso said. “There’s so many stories. The journey was unbelievable. I think if you looked at us in February and March, even parts of BACF April, you would never imagine us sitting here right now with trophies in front of us.” Knighten, who hit a three-run homer in the 17th inning on Monday, was selected the World Series’ Most Outstanding Player. Oklahoma freshman Mariah Lopez (18-1) got the win in relief of Paige Parker. Though Parker has an 8-0 career World Series record, she struggled on Tuesday and lasted just 1 2-3 innings. She threw 108 pitches in the 5½-hour game on Monday night. “I think Paige probably could tell you she didn’t have her best stuff, but she is the reason why we’re sitting here right now, and she knows that. I know she knows that,” Gasso said. “To be able to give Mariah (Lopez) the ball, a freshman who’s been waiting patiently, and for her to step up and do what we asked her to do in that setting was another reason why we’re sitting here with a trophy. It’s another reason why we’re here, period.” Paige Lowary stepped in and threw two innings of perfect relief for her nation-leading 11th save. With a one-run lead, she retired Florida’s Nos. 2-4 hitters in order in the sev- rett Burnside, OT-DT; Tyler May, RB-LB. Ripley (1): Hunter Stephens, WR-DB.

On Monday night, ESPN announcers said one of her pitches reached 75 mph on the radar gun. “Paige Lowary came in, and she was hot,” Gasso said. “She was ready. I don’t know how hard she was throwing, but it looked like 100 miles an hour. The adrenaline was there and she was hitting her spots just so conﬁdent.” Florida (58-10) did not allow an earned run in three games to reach the championship series, but the Sooners were able to break through against what statistically was the nation’s best pitching staff. Florida pitcher Kelly Barnhill, USA Softball’s National Collegiate Player of the Year, did not play Tuesday. Florida coach Tim Walton went with No. 3 pitcher Alesia Ocasio (8-2), and she got the loss. Delaney Gourley allowed the double to Knighten in relief. “It just wasn’t our tournament,” Walton said. “You look at the statistics, it’s eerie how close the games were statistically. So I think that you’ve got two evenly matched teams. One just found a way to hit the ball over the fence more than we did, and give them a lot of credit.” Oklahoma’s Nicole Mendes homered on Ocasio’s third pitch of the game to give the Sooners a 1-0 lead. Sophia Reynoso responded with a solo shot for Florida in the second. With the bases loaded and two outs in the top of the second, Ocasio singled to knock in Justine McLean, then Kayli Kvistad walked with the bases loaded to score Amanda Lorenz and make it 3-1. Knighten’s big hit in the bottom of the second put Oklahoma up 5-3. “Being in those moments, I’ve just got to keep myself calm, just stay relaxed and just kind of not think about what if, just kind of go for it,” she said. “And it paid off.” Florida’s Chelsea Herndon came back with a solo blast in the third to cut Oklahoma’s lead to 5-4. The pitchers took over from there. “Just a hard-fought two games,” Walton said. “Wish we could have pushed it to a third, and give us a chance. But I thought overall our players — really proud of our team.” Oklahoma had just one senior in its lineup and has no senior pitchers. Gasso said her team will be focused again next season.

Wallace persevered in a sport that seemed long reserved for whites. This weekend at Pocono Raceway in Pennsylvania, he will take the wheel of the No. 43 Ford — the same number made famous by Hall of Famer Richard Petty — and make history as just the fourth black driver to race in NASCAR’s top Cup series. “This is a huge step for NASCAR, the whole sport in general, for bringing diversity to its top tier level of NASCAR,” Wallace said Tuesday. “I’m glad to be leading the forefront of that right now. It just shows that we’re trying to bring in a new demographic. We’re trying to bring in a new face, get a younger generation, no matter what color, what age.” The 23-year-old Wallace, the son of a white father and black mother, has been comfortable in his role as de facto trailblazer in a sport that took decades to fully open up to minorities and women. “Everybody should deserve the same opportunity, the same challenge,” Wallace said. Wallace, more commonly referred to by his nickname “Bubba,” got his shot when Aric Almirola was injured in a wreck at Kansas. Regan Smith served as substitute for two races. Wallace, who raced in the Xﬁnity Series for Jack Roush, has the ride until Almirola returns. “This is the perfect opportunity,” Wallace said. Wallace’s father sparked a love of the sport when Bubba was 9, putting him in go-karts, and always scouting the next series as his son grew up in Concord, North Carolina. Darrell Wallace even bought a Legends car from Mark Martin. Allen, DB; Dalton Ivey, RB: Simon Shuster, DL; Sheldon Archer, LB. Morgan (2): Scott Harry, OL; Cam Meadows, OL.
