United Way Begins Canvassing

R-T Photo/Ronda Lickteig

The board of directors of the Grundy County Health Department held a meeting Thursday evening in an attempt to get input from the community concering isolation and quarantine guidelines in relation to COVID-19. Pictured are, from left, Board President Dr. NiCole Neal, Cari Blackburn, Phillip Ray, Taylor Ormsby and Korynn Skipper.

Residents Have Opportunity To Voice Their Opinions Quarantine Concerns Heard By Health Department Board While the conversation included comments such as “everyone’s going to die,” questions concerning the reliability of COVID-19 testing and even a reference to the Nuremberg Code, the main concerns voiced at a public meeting hosted by the Grundy County Health Department were in regard to the quarantining of healthy children and the effect the isolation imposed by the quarantines is having on those children.

The meeting, in which the majority of attendees (including a member of the GCHD board) declined to wear masks as requested, was held at the health department Thursday evening. Board President

Dr. NiCole Neal said the forum was meant to gather information from the public – to get a “baseline” of opinions and ideas concerning isolation and quarantine measures. She told the group, which numbered around 50, that the GCHD staff has basically worked around the clock since the pandemic began and is trying to educate and take care of the community.

GCHD Administrator Elizabeth Gibson said this is the first time the health department has really had to interact with the community in this way and the health department has the authority and the mandate to take the actions it has taken in an effort to educate and protect the public. State statute demands that the guidelines set by the local health department be “at least as stringent as the guidance by the Department of Health and Senior Services,” she explained.

Ms. Gibson outlined how the health department and the school districts work together to identify who is a close contact to a positive COVID case and noted that guidelines have changed as the pandemic has moved into its second year, actually the third school year.

For instance, the quarantine period was previously 14 days, but has been shortened to 10 as research has shown that a person is much less likely to transmit COVID after

10 days. She reiterated the importance of masking and the role it plays in cutting down on transmission.

Following that introduction, the floor was opened to the public, with each person allowed three minutes to speak.

Tammy Burgess said she doesn’t understand the guidelines and said that many school districts are not quarantining in the way Trenton R9 currently is. She said the district is discriminating against students who are eligible for the vaccine but choose not to be vaccinated. She advocated suing the school district, which she said is who should be taking responsibility for how they quarantine. Special treatment for vaccinated students should stop, she commented.

Pam Bowden, a third grade teacher at Rissler Elementary School, said she had COVID-19 in November. She noted that none of her family or her students contracted the virus from her. She told the board that her children have been quarantined and one of them in particular did not do well with the Alternative Method of Instruction (AMI) that was offered. She presented a proposal to the board, which she said has been implemented in other districts, that if a student is identified as a close contact to a positive case, the parent [See GCHD, Page A4]

The Grundy County United Way has begun its residential canvass for 2021, with a goal of raising $3,500 during the canvass.

way, striking the pole and sign before leaving the scene. A driver’s side headlamp assembly, driver’s side reflective mirrors and a Chevrolet emblem were left at the scene.

could choose to quarantine the student or the student could continue to attend classes, but would be required to wear a mask.

“Since masks work, it should work,” she said.

Mrs. Bowden told the group that 50 percent of third graders at Rissler now qualify for Title I Reading services, something she said has occurred because of the amount of time they have spent out of the classroom. Ms. Gibson replied that if a student was initially wearing a mask when the contact occurred, they would not have to quarantine at all.

Pleasant View R-6 Superintendent Rebecca Steinhoff discussed the situation at her school, students struggle when told they have to go home and during their quarantine time when they have no social interaction.

Mrs. Steinhoff shared several statistics and observations concerning the school in the 2020-21 school year, which she provided to the Republican-Times over the weekend. They include: • preschool through eighth grade students were quarantined 934 school days or 6,538 instructional hours from Aug. 2020 to Feb. 2021; of those, 47 students in grades kindergarten through eighth were quarantined for a total of 601 school days and 48 preschool students were quarantined for a total of 333 school days.

• of the 95 students that were quarantined by the health department, only eight tested positive or were probable cases. Of those eight, seven were already quarantined due to a family member testing positive at home and one case had an unknown origin.

• multiple classrooms had to be sent home in the middle of the school day.

The students had already been exposed to each other and around each other most of the day. (She questioned whether a couple of hours really made a difference).

• students lacked social interaction for 10 to 24 days in some cases and she noted that district personnel has seen the repercussions of the isolation.

• probable cases have been incorrect. Last Christmas, 20 preschool students and two staff members were quarantined on Christmas by mistake.

She told the board that R-6, which on the first day of class this year had an enrollment of 121 plus 20 preschoolers, can quarantine in the classroom if needed. Asymptomatic students, she said, can eat in their classroom, go to the playground at a time when other students are not on it, use a separate bathroom from other students, etc.

When asked later if students at R-6 have ever worn masks, she declined to answer. She also told the group that statistics that involved the Trenton R-9

School District would include R-6 students as well.

Ann Constant told the group that her grandson, who lives out of the area, was quarantined with no symptoms, however he did test positive, meaning he could have been transmitting the virus even though he wasn’t sick. That, she said, is the point of quarantining – stopping someone from inadvertently transmitting the virus when they don’t even know they are sick.

Richard Etter called the situation “tyranny” and said it is taking away his rights under the U.S. Constitution.

“The Constitution doesn’t say we give up our rights because people are dying,” he said before asking why this illness in particular has led to such drastic measures that are “trampling” on his rights.

“We’ve been dying since the beginning of time,” he said.

Charlotte Hamilton discussed statistics she found online that indicate 150 Trenton R-9 students have had COVID. She was interrupted by Etter, who said, “It doesn’t matter. It’s our God-given right to freedom.”

Mrs. Hamilton went on to say that just because a student tests positive doesn’t mean they are sick and described the effect the loss of class time and social interaction had on her kindergarten-age grandchild.

Jeff Spencer, who had asked a board member who requested he wear a mask what they were going to do if he didn’t, told the board that his children have been quarantined a total of 11 times – without ever being sick or even having symptoms. He said he and his wife are a “rare breed” in that they are able to sit down with their kids and work with them during their quarantined time. He said that in his job as a Trenton police officer, he sees many kids who need school because that’s where they get food, love, etc.

“They have no home life,” he said. “Healthy kids are being sent home to a much worse home life.

They are safer at school than at home.”

Toby Havens agreed with Spencer and said he is concerned about the students who are missing school. He said people need to be able to separate fact from fiction and questioned the reliability of home tests. He told the group that he sees the virus “as no different from the flu” and that the actions being taken take away his constitutional rights.

Dennis McDonald asked a technical question of the board.

“How many cycles does it take to replicate the DNA to make it (the test) positive?” he asked, telling the board that he has heard that if you “run it up to 44” everyone is positive. However, he said, if it is kept “around 30” the results are

more reliable. Dr. Neal said she will look into it and that she, as a pharmacist, sends tests to a lab.

Venissa Burchett spoke about the effect quarantine has had on her children, particularly her daughter, who was sent home. The child, she said, was upset because she knew she wasn’t sick. She said that when she attempted to use the GoogleMeets program for her classwork, it gave wrong results for her work, which was again upsetting to the student. None of the students who were quarantined developed symptoms, she said, and the students, ages nine and 10, knew they needed to be in school and were even more upset when they learned that the child who was sick and had made the quarantine necessary was back in school before they were. Another issue, she said, was that she had to take a week off work, without pay, something not everyone can do.

Ben Thomas told the board members that the policy they’re supporting – giving special treatment for those who are vaccinated – is wrong. He said “leftminded” coaches are telling athletes that if they are vaccinated they won’t have to miss games. He mentioned the Nuremberg Code, referring to ethical principles that should be followed for research on humans, and said it’s kids who are being affected. He said it would be a “major problem” if anyone tries to make him get his children vaccinated.

“The government screws up everything they touch,” he said, noting that he’s not convinced it’s safe and saying that he’s from Missouri so you’ll have to “show” him. He went on to say that the board needs to end the policy of special privilege for those who have taken the vaccine.

“So you’d be okay if the policies match?” asked Dr. Neal, meaning that if vaccinated and non-vaccinated students were treated the same when it comes to quarantine.

“If the policies matched that would be a step in the right direction, but I’d like to see all the mandates go,” Thomas replied, saying that it’s a “huge infringement” on his rights.

Kadi Gamble said she doesn’t feel like kids have equal opportunity right now. Her son, who was quarantined twice last year and never got sick, didn’t do as well academically when quarantined.

“He did not have the same opportunity as the kids sitting in the class,” she said.

Brandon Gibler, who later said he was not speaking as a member of the Trenton R-9 board but as an individual, said we know the transmission in school is less than at other places, regardless of whether the student is masked or not.

Ron Ratliff, who identified himself as the pastor of Tenth Street Baptist

Church, said he appreciated the work the health department staff has done and admitted that while COVID is a serious issue, the bigger issue is that if it doesn’t get settled he is scared there will be backlash.

“It’s going to get ugly,” he said. “There needs to be some compromising.”

Nathan Rorebeck asked about natural immunity and the role it plays in determining who will be quarantined. Some kids, he said, have been quarantined over and over and have never been sick. He said the board needs to take into consideration kids who have already had it and how many times they’ve been quarantined. Saying that, for kids, it’s “not life and death” unless perhaps the child has really bad asthma. The isolation and loss of learning can have a devastating effect, he said.

“It changes their life – changes their outlook,” he said. “It could change the trajectory of their life. Definitely quarantine the kid who has it – look at kids close to them – but they should be okay if they’re vaccinated or have natural immunity.”

Norman Ropp said kids learn by facial recognition and said when masks are worn kids can’t recognize anyone. He discussed the effect quarantine has on students who then feel isolated and upset, especially when they are sent home.

“We’re bullying them with the rules and regulations of the CDC,” he said, asking that the board consider the home life of some children. He asked if the board would take a vote that night to make changes.

Dr. Neal said the board would be meeting to discuss the input they had received but did not plan to take any votes that evening.

She told him and the group gathered that all of the health department board meetings are open.

Gina Rorebeck also told the board she appreciates the work the health department staff has done during the pandemic, but wanted to reiterate what Spencer had said about the effect quarantine is having on students. She asked that research on the efficacy of keeping the students home be looked at and told the board that the group gathered is just a small number of the people who feel as she does. She asked that the R-9 board do a survey to find out how many parents feel the same way.

Rosetta Marsh shared her daughter’s experience of having to miss all of the Trenton High School Homecoming activities due to quarantine and said she was told that she could do a home test. Based on when her quarantine was put in place, if her test had been positive, she would have already exposed people she had been around at school.

Phillip Ray, who is a member of the board and the presiding commissioner of the Grundy County Commission, asked who is

responsible for contact tracing – the health department or the school? Ms. Gibson told him that when the health department is notified of a positive case, the school identifies who is a close contact, however, the health department does have access to class lists, attendance records, etc.

The health department then notifies the district on the days to count, based on when the person showed symptoms. Sometimes it takes a while to get results, she said.

“So basically, the school does the contact tracing,” she said going on to say the health department has a good relationship with the school and the process allows them to identify the minimum number of students who should quarantine.

When asked if school districts are required to assist with contact tracing, Ms. Gibson replied that as far as she knows, yes, they are but she would need to check with the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education.

Ray said that CARES Act Funding, distributed through the county commission, allowed for each district to have a school nurse, however, it was noted that only the Trenton R-9 District has full-time nurses. He said the county felt that “if we’re going to require it, we should fund it.”

Mrs. Marsh said she knows there are parents who are saying their child is positive because they can return to school sooner than a child who is quarantined but does not test positive.

Those students who came in contact with them then have to quarantine. Gibler agreed that is happening and said that those students are then inadvertently making other students have to quarantine.

Ray asked if there is any precedence for asymptomatic people to have to quarantine. He was told that tuberculosis and pertussis (whooping cough) are two examples of such illnesses that require quarantine.

Ms. Gibson told the group that the DHSS requires that “any person who is infectious shall not attend school” and the health department has certain authority.

“We do not have authority over the school. We do have the authority to close establishments,” she explained. “We don’t issue guidelines. DESE and DHSS might be, but we’re not requiring anything from the school district.”

Ray went on to say that he would like to see the boards (health department and the county’s school boards) come together to find a way to keep kids in school. He said the situation is “ever-changing” and “we can’t assume the polices we start with are the policies we stay with.”

Korynn Skipper, a member of the board, said that would be a starting

place and that Grundy County is completely different from large metropolitan areas such as Kansas City or New York.

Gibler expressed his opinion that the school is the “least transmissible place we have in our county, statistically speaking.”

Ray asked if the health department has local control, noting that Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt has taken steps to go against what some local entities have chosen to do.

Gibler said the local health department does have local control.

Dr. Neal responded that the health department must make their policies strong and asked that moving forward, the group “stand by” them and “back” them.

“Get rid of the quarantine and we’ll back you,” Gibler replied.

Ms. Gibson, asked about the liability of the health department in light of “hold harmless” legislation concerning COVID, replied that it depends.

“There’s no liability as long as we’re doing what we’re supposed to be doing,” she said. “If we’re not being negligent.”

Amy May said that her son does not do well in quarantine but her main concern is that if he is exposed and brings it home, it could make her or his elderly grandmothers sick.

She said the health department staff is doing their job and said people need to follow the guidelines. Many children, she said, are now living with grandparents or great-grandparents and could be exposing them.

Noting that she works in the mental health field, she said she has seen first-hand the effect the COVID situation is having on people – and not just because of quarantine and isolation.

“It hurts people’s mental health to have their loved ones die,” she said, with someone in the crowd interrupting with “everyone’s going to die.”

Mrs. Rorebeck said that while she doesn’t discredit what Mrs. May is asserting, children are being hurt by not being in school. She said if masks and vaccinations are truly effective, why is there fear from people who are vaccinated and wear masks?

Ray ended his comments by saying he believes the board should let entities “do their thing” and the health department will “do our thing.”

“Let schools do what’s best for their students in their buildings,” he said. “I don’t feel comfortable dictating to a board that I don’t sit on.”

The evening ended with Dr. Neal telling the group that the health department board will look at the comments and opinions expressed at the meeting and will plan another meeting in the next couple of weeks. Information about that meeting will be announced when it becomes available.

fires that destroyed thousands of acres in and around LaVeta two weeks after Mrs. Johnson left.

Quilts for this show come from all over the world and being selected for this show was a special honor due to the fact that the show was not held last year and the entries were double what they normally are.

by the Trenton Ministerial Alliance St. Francis and the Blessing of The Animals Terry Cobb St. Philip’s Episcopal Church A Blessing of the Animals service is offered by many Episcopal churches to bless a community’s beloved pets and is held on the Saturday or Sunday closest to October 4th, the day St. Francis of Assisi is commemorated.

St. Francis founded the Franciscan Order and is known for loving all of God’s creatures. Most statues depict him in a garden with birds in his hands and on his shoulders. Francis lived from 1181-1226 and was from Assisi, a hill town in central Italy. Although he was the son of a wealthy cloth merchant, Francis committed himself to a life of poverty and serving the poor after experiencing a series of encounters with God. Legend has it that as St. Francis

contemplated Jesus’ instructions to the disciples in Mark 16:15, And he said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to the whole creation,” he came to believe that “the whole creation” meant not just for humanity alone. Soon he began preaching to birds that God had given them everything they had and encouraged them to offer their beautiful voices in praise to God. Francis is also credited as being the originator of live nativity scenes. One Christmas, Francis had parishioners dress as Mary and Joseph and the shepherds and brought live animals into the church to recreate the nativity scene. When questioned about bringing in animals, he said, “Surely the animals praised the new Messiah just as the shepherds and angels did.”

animals and all of God’s creation.

The service includes giving thanks to God for the companionship of our pets, repenting for abuse or neglect of animals, and fostering compassion for all of God’s creatures.

In the blessing, each pet and its owner are sprinkled with water. The blessing prayer gives thanks to God for the joy the world’s creatures provide. God is asked to assist the pet owners to properly care for their pets and to truly appreciate them as gifts from God. The Blessing of the Animals service may be held on the church grounds, in an animal shelter, at a park, or at a parishioner’s farm. Dogs, cats, snakes, goldfish, canaries, gerbils, horses, and even prize bulls have been blessed at these services because as an old English hymn says, “The Lord God made them all.”

Dear Annie: In the 12 years since my first child was born (and two more children followed), our military family has yet to actually celebrate Christmas in our own home because we are always traveling to our families' homes, lest we hear from hurt grandparents bemoaning our absence.

Thus, every December, we have to balance the competing desires of two sets of grandparents who currently live six hours away from us in opposite directions (we're in the middle) and who will pour on the guilt about not seeing their grandchildren. Additionally, the rest of the year, we also must drop everything and make regular pilgrimages to see them, always on our dime.

While we love our parents and our children love their grandparents, my spouse and I have jobs, lives and are limited on time and resources. It's particularly galling when our two sets of retired parents, who are quite financially

secure with plenty of time, demand that we must always be the visiting team.

Grandparents need to understand that, unless there is some overriding health or mobility concern, the road between their children and grandchildren goes both ways and they can make the trip occasionally. -Daughter on the Perpetually Visiting Team Dear Perpetually Visiting Daughter: Thank you for your letter and for your family's service in our military. Your letter addresses a very important point.

Every relationship is a twoway street and must remain balanced.

If you feel like you are doing all the traveling to see your mom, then tell her that. Communicate to her what you said in this letter.

And as for all the grandparents reading this, maybe they will pack their bags today and start visiting their busy children and grandchildren.

Dear Annie: I'm sitting at this wedding writing to you because I was asked to

get child care for this event, but everyone here brought their kids. My nephews, over whom I have custody, have disabilities, but they are well-behaved at public events like this.

I feel that I was purposely told not to include them, and I feel terrible because there are family photos at the end of this, and they will not be included.

This is embarrassing.

I care about my boys as if they were my own. I have no other children, and I feel so disappointed in my family for hiding them away. -- Hurt Feelings Dear Hurt: How someone treats you and your children says more about them than it does about you. If you know that your children behave well in public, just feel proud of the job you are doing, and continue to build them up.

Don't write a narrative of the reasons why the bride and groom didn't invite your children to the wedding. Without having a conversation with the bride, you don't know what her thought process was in making the invitation list.

Try to let it go, and do your best to forgive her for any hurt feelings. Congrats on doing such a great job with your nephews.

Wanes and gains The latest surge in COVID-19 cases threw airlines into yet another patch of turbulence, but the clearing ahead could mean another altitude gain for the beleaguered stocks.

“As COVID-19 risks and travel restrictions fade, air travel demand comes back strongly,” CFRA analyst Colin Scarola wrote in a note to investors. “Accordingly, we think the postpandemic traffic recovery for U.S. airlines will be much stronger than the market currently expects.”

Investors have retreated from the sector every time virus cases have surged over the last 18 months, only to

rebound as the wave crests. The pattern has helped push shares gradually higher while also reinforcing analysts’ expectations that pent up demand will eventually drive a recovery for air travel when the virus finally recedes.

A surge in COVID-19 cases in spring and summer of 2020 and in early 2021 were both followed by a bump in airline stocks.

That pattern will likely hold following the latest surge, Scarola said. He also pointed out recoveries for air travel globally, including in China and Russia, which bodes well for a similar gain in the U.S.

HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL — WEEK 6 GALLATIN BULLDOGS 40, MILAN WILDCATS 6

POLO PANTHERS 30, TRENTON BULLDOGS 20

Gallatin Mauls Milan, Wins Big Baker, Feiden Connect Multiple Times In Rout To say Gallatin shellshocked the visiting Milan Wildcats on Friday night is an understatement. Gallatin had 14 points on the board less than 30 seconds into the game, laying the ground work for a 40-6 rout of the visiting Wildcats on Homecoming night.

Peyton Baker found Payton Feiden for a 50-yard touchdown on the first play from scrimmage and Feiden scooped and scored

on a Milan fumble to give Gallatin the 14-0 edge with 11:37 still showing on the game clock in the first quarter.

“I’m always telling our team that we have to start fast and not look back,” Gallatin head coach Patrick Treece said. “We did just that tonight. We proceeded to connect in the passing game getting a lot of players involved.”

Milan’s secondary had a long night as Baker strategically picked the unit apart. He added a 65-yard touchdown pass to Isaac Bird late in the first quarter [See GALLATIN, Page B2]

PAYTON FEIDEN races down the sideline for a touchdown during Gallatin’s 40-6 Homecoming win over Milan. Feiden caught six passes for 171 yards and three touchdowns and returned a Milan fumble for another score.

For good measure, the Polo Panthers capped Friday night’s contest with the Trenton Bulldogs at C.F. Russell Stadium with a halfback pass to the quarterback for one final touchdown.The score and ensuing point-after kick gave Polo a twopossession lead with under a minute to play.

It didn’t matter if the lead was one point or 100. At this point, no one in the stadium believed Trenton could hold onto the ball long enough to score again.

On a night when the Trenton Bulldogs turned the ball over seven times, the Polo Panthers gladly accepted the free pass and left town with a 30-20 victory that knocked the Bulldogs out of sole possession of first place in the Grand River Conference.

MAYSVILLE WOLVERINES 45, PRINCETON TIGERS 22

Big Plays Only Go So Far Tigers Can’t Keep Up After First Quarter, Fall 45-22 The Princeton High School football team hit the big plays it needed to in order to keep pace with the Maysville Wolverines for one quarter Friday night, but that was about it.

Without consistent offense, Princeton succumbed to a 45-22 loss to the visiting Wolverines at Eddie Allen Field.

“I think we struggled to achieve an offensive rhythm much like the earlier games this season,” Princeton head coach Nathan Powell said. “We’ve been able to hit plays here and there to stay in games but we’ve struggled being consistent.”

Princeton certainly hit the big plays early on.

Andrew Rhoades answered Maysville’s initial touchdown with a 76-yard kickoff return for a score and Tyler Brown carried in the 2-point conversion to tie the game at 8-8. Logan Smith then found Talan Holt for a 27-yard touchdown pass and Brown’s second 2-point conversion actually gave the Tigers a 16-15 lead after one quarter of play.

Maysville would continue to find points, however and Princeton’s big plays dried up as the Wolverines built some breathing room.

Maysville would score twice more in the second quarter and once in the third to open up a 39-16 lead and effectively put the game away.

Princeton found the end zone one more time in the fourth quarter as Andrew Rhoades broke free for a

62-yard touchdown run.

Maysville answered that score late to give the game its final margin of 23 points.

Princeton was outgained in total yards 440182. Rhoades paced the Tigers with 104 yards on 13 carries. No other Tiger rushed for more than eight yards in the loss.

Smith completed just three passes, finding Holt on the 27-yard touchdown, Rhoades on a 24-yard gain and Gavin Power on a 17yard completion.

The loss kept Princeton winless at 0-6 overall and 0-4 in Grand River Conference play, but if there is a silver lining for the Tigers it’s that Powell hasn’t lost his players in the challenging season.

and show up everyday with great attitudes,” Powell said. “We would obviously love to see more wins, but as long as our 24 kids are

showing up and trying to get better everyday, what else could any coach ask for?”

Princeton is set to be at

home again this week, playing host to the Polo Panthers. Kickoff from Eddie Allen Field is scheduled for 7 p.m.

Gallatin Rolls To Homecoming Win Turnovers Pile [GALLATIN, from Page B1] then found Feiden for two more touchdowns in the second quarter.

When it was all said and done, Baker had completed 13-of-15 passes for 342 yards and the four scores.

Feiden caught six passes, three of them for touchdowns, accumulating 171 receiving yards. Draven Wright caught four passes for 72 yards and Bird had two catches for 72 yards as well and a touchdown.

Gallatin’s final score of the game came on the legs of Baker, who ran in a touchdown to start the fourth quarter. Baker was the Bulldogs’ leading rusher, carrying the ball five times for 102 yards.

All the while the Gallatin offense was cooking, the Bulldogs defense was hammering away on Milan and running back Deric Doporto. Milan was able to get yards from Doporto and his younger brother Darren Doporto, but Gallatin allowed Milan into the end zone just once all night.

“Our defensive effort was just as important as our offensive output,” Treece said. “We tackled and rallied to the football better than we have all year. We were able to keep Milan’s Doporto brothers from taking over the game on the ground. The message to our defense is always ‘bend don't break’ and that's ex-

Up On Bulldogs

MONdAy, OCTOBER 18, 2021

Bulldogs were not done stopping themselves.

Each of the next two Trenton possessions ended with fumbles lost to the Panthers. The second, which set Polo up inside the Bulldogs’ 30-yard line, led to the final Polo score and cemented Trenton’s fate.

Polo struck first, turning Trenton’s first turnover on the night into a 7-0 lead early in the first quarter.

The Bulldogs turned the ball over on their next two possessions as well before finally getting into the end zone on a 1-yard run by quarterback Coleman Griffin.

Polo would score on the ensuing possession, the only points not garnered from Trenton turnovers on the night. That gave Polo a 15-6 lead at the break.

Trenton’s defense did its best to keep the Bulldogs in contention, intercepting three Polo passes on the night. Griffin had one interception and Tucker Otto grabbed two, but the Panthers were able to avoid turnovers in the fourth quarter while Trenton was not.

Gibson eclipsed the 1,000-yard mark on the season, carrying the ball 29 times for 170 yards and a touchdown. He now sits at 1,012 rushing yards on the season in six games.

Novak, who carried the ball just eight times on the night, rushed for 111 yards and a score.

“Gabe had a great night,” Hixson said. “He hit the hole and accelerated through a couple of times.

He ran the ball hard. He is learning and he is working hard. If he keeps doing that, him and Sam will be a pretty good one-two punch.”

Griffin had 50 rushing yards and a touchdown on 11 carries and Elbert rushed 10 times for 42 yards.

The loss threw the conference race into chaos as Trenton, Polo, Gallatin and South Harrison all have 31 league marks to sit in a four-way tie atop the standings with three weeks left in the regular season.

Trenton will hope to solve their turnover issues and get back into the win column this week as they play host to Maysville in conference play at C.F. Russell Stadium. Suddenly massive conference tilts at South Harrison and Gallatin will follow.

“We kept the kids together after the game and we talked with them about how our mental focus has got to be sharp,” Hixson said. “We talked about, had we won that game, where we would be sitting as opposed to where we are now.

Now the challenge is set before us. You have to come to play the next three weeks. It is a championship game every week. So, if you like that kind of pressure, get ready.”

Kickoff between the Bulldogs and Wolverines this Friday in Trenton is set for 7 p.m.

actly what we did. Running backs like those two are going to get their yards, you just have to keep them out of the endzone.”

Ethan Adkison picked up a sack on the defensive side in the win and Bird grabbed an interception to give Gallatin two take aways on the night along with Feiden’s scoop and score of a Wildcat fumble.

Gallatin couldn’t have drawn up a better Homecoming result.

“With it being Homecoming, you never know what type of team will take

the field,” Treece said.

“You always wonder where the focus of the team is with all the distractions associated with the Homecoming celebration. This team never wavered and in fact, played with a higher level of focus and determination than we have seen all year.

“We had some great individual efforts on both sides of the football but this game was a complete team win. We got a lot better as a football team tonight and I am beyond proud of everyone involved.”

The win pushed Gallatin to 4-2 overall on the season. The win combined with Trenton’s loss to Polo pushed the Red and Black Bulldogs into a four-way tie atop the Grand River Conference. Gallatin, Trenton, Polo and South Harrison are all 3-1 in league play.

Gallatin will be on the road this week, traveling to Unionville to take on Putnam County. Action is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. on Friday.

Rongey was 1-for-3 with a triple, run scored and an RBI and Lynch was 2-for-2 with one RBI. Harris and Cowling were each 1-for-3 with a run scored and Shay Westerhof went 2-for-2 with three RBIs. Teya Cooksey scored one run in the win.

Roberts was the winning pitcher scattering three hits while walking two and striking out three.

Trenton moved to 8-16 overall on the season with the 1-2 showing in La Plata.

The Bulldogs were back in action on Monday, traveling to Marceline and will be at home tonight (Tuesday) playing host to Brookfield at 5 o’clock.

[TURNOVERS, from Page B1] lack of mental focus,” Trenton head coach Kevin Hixson said. “[Polo] was trying to punch at the ball, but we just have to focus a little bit better on the little things.”

Trenton never punted in the loss. The Bulldogs lined up to punt just once, but a hard count caused Polo to jump offsides, creating a 4th-and-inches that fullback Sam Gibson easily picked up. A total of 12 Trenton possessions on the night ended in three touchdowns, the clock running out at the end of both halves and the seven glaring turnovers — six fumbles and one interception.

Ball security was an issue even when Trenton didn’t turn it over. The Bulldogs had another three fumbles that they were fortunate enough to recover, meaning Trenton put the ball on the turf nine times in the game.

Four of Trenton’s turnovers came at or inside the Polo 30-yard line, killing drives that seemed certain to produce touchdowns with the way Trenton was running through the Panther defense. The Bulldogs ran through Polo just fine, but couldn’t hang onto the ball long enough to make it count.

Trenton piled up almost 400 rushing yards in the game and averaged almost six and a half yards per carry. The Bulldogs dominated in the trenches on both sides of the ball, but all the yards in the world couldn’t erase the turnovers.

It felt like Trenton was going to win in spite of itself early in the fourth quarter. Gibson had a 2yard touchdown run and 2point conversion run late in the third quarter and, after forcing one of several Polo punts on the night, Gabe Novak broke loose for a 46-yard touchdown run.

With 7:22 left to play, Trenton had its first lead of the night at 20-15.

Two straight possessions without a turnover had Trenton feeling cured of its ills. The Bulldogs led and hope was restored. Polo marched deep into Trenton territory, but a sack by Ian Elbert had the Panthers looking at 3rd-and-21 with under six minutes left in the game.

Polo would go 30 yards for a touchdown on that 3rd-and-21, however. The Panthers were thrust back in front and a 2-point conversion made it 23-20 with 5:33 left.

No big deal, right? Trenton had put together backto-back scoring drives.

Polo was not stopping the Bulldogs.

TRENTON

Trenton Third At Quad Bulldogs Relegated To Third-Place Match The Trenton High School volleyball team finished third at the Carrollton Quad on Saturday — an event Trenton entered as the two-time defending champions.

A three-peat was not in the cards, however as Trenton went 1-1-1 in pool play, not quite enough to vault them into the championship match. Instead, Trenton settled for third place as the Bulldogs defeated Brookfield 28-30, 25-10, 25-17 in the final match of the day.

In pool action, Trenton started strong with a 25-22, 25-17 win over Brookfield.

After a 14-25, 25-22 draw with Richmond in the second pool match, though, the Bulldogs needed a win over Carrollton to get into the championship match. They would not get that as Carrollton picked up the 2519, 25-18 win to send Trenton to the thirdplace match and a second meeting with Brookfield.

“We had a hard time staying energized on the floor,” Trenton head coach Brad Ewald said. “It felt like we didn’t get really aggressive until the second to last set of the day against Brookfield. However, there were always moments of good things. We just struggled to get excited about a good play and let the momentum build for the next one.”

With the 2-1-1 showing at the quad,

Trenton moved to 7-11-1 overall on the season.

Trenton’s junior varsity was also third at the quad’s JV tournament. The JV split 11 with Brookfield, lost 2-0 to Richmond and split 1-1 with Carrollton. That put the JV in the third-place match where they defeated Brookfield 2-1.

TRENTON 3, SOUTH HARRISON 0 On Thursday, Trenton picked up a road victory over South Harrison in Bethany, winning 27-25, 25-17, 25-23.

After escaping with the first set victory, Trenton had an easier time in the second, but South Harrison again made things interesting in the final set.

A big boost for Trenton came from Saige Gott who had seven kills and two aces to help lift Trenton to a victory over the upset-minded South Harrison squad.

“It definitely wasn’t our cleanest performance, but we pulled together and did what needed to be done to get the win,” Ewald said. “Our youngest varsity starter, Saige Gott, had her best performance of the season and that was really nice to add her as more of a threat in our offense.”

Ava Simpson equalled her school record performance from earlier in the week, collecting 26 assists. Ally Yoder, meanwhile, finished with eight kills, three aces and five digs.

Trenton was at home facing Chillicothe on Monday and will be at home again tonight (Tuesday), playing host to Lathrop at 5 p.m.

Gallatin Fourth At Brookfield Crose Leads Bulldogs With A Score Of 49 The Gallatin and Princeton high school golf teams were in action on Thursday at the Brookfield Tournament. The event was cut from an 18-hole tournament to a 9-hole event due to weather conditions in the area.

Gallatin carded a team score of 217 at the event, good for fourth-place overall. A total of 15 schools were at the tournament

with nine of those schools able to post a team score.

Gallatin’s score was paced by Cortney Crose, who carded a team-low score of 49. Elle Copple was right behind her though, carding a score of 50. A 57 from Brianna Filley and a 61 from Cloey Waterbury rounded out the Bulldogs’ team total. Kylie Stagner was also in varsity action for Gallatin, shooting a score of 66.

For Princeton, Riley Moreno led the way with a 55. The Tigers also got a 69 from Labrina Templeton and a 71 from Cheyenne

AnnaBelle Ball did the rest, limiting Worth County to one run on three hits and no walks while striking out seven.
