Local Band is Climbing the Charts

David James and the Band Local Artist and Songwriter David James recently interviewed with The Informer and explained what is going on in his band's world. "A song that is titled, This One's For You was the song off our CD and it topped the CMG/BSM international independent charts this past Veterans Day weekend. It stayed in the top for 5-6 weeks. James said, "It took me two years to complete it." James is the only writer for his group.

The song was written as a tribute to all those who have given time from their lives or have sacrificed in any way for the protection and freedom of this great nation. It was inspired by members of my own family as well as those I see on a regular basis giving and sacrificing still yet today.

This isn't the only song that has climbed through the charts for David James and the Band. James said, "A song I

wrote titled Jones' Corner topped the chart before, but it only held on for one week."

The group has made one CD and it has five originals on it. "Another song titled, So Blue is currently climbing its way up the same charts and were waiting to see how it does," said James.

James said, "I've been a songwriter for several years, but have been playing on a serious level with a band for around 5 years now." During that time the band has had various musicians backing him.

At this time David James is working on a ten song album deal with Playback Records in Nashville Tenn. "When I get this off the ground with the help of a ton of great friends and fantastic fans, said James. I will be on track to accomplishing my goal and that is to be recorded and distributed throughout every country music FM station in the US with a registered label and publishing company."

The Manchester Fire Department and Life Squad responded to Mile Post 4 on State Route 41, near Roush Hill Road, in Sprigg Township, Friday, February 22, for a one car crash.

Emergency workers called for Air

Care, but the helicopter was unable to fly due to inclement weather.

Trooper Edgington said, "The seat belts were in use and this proves that they should be worn."

Neu was transported by Manchester Life Squad to Meadowview Regional Medical Center for Non-Incapacitating injuries.

The crash remains under investigation by the Ohio State Highway Patrol.

Owls seem to be everywhere these days, sheets, pillows, and in lost of print fabric. I for one am happy for now I can drag my owl lamps out of storage. Anyway, This week we are featuring two owl patterns. One is an owl refrigerator magnet.

Years ago I saved milk rings from the top of milk jugs, crocheted a round circle using a triple crochet with hook that would give me a finished circle or round that would fill the center of a milk ring. then I would crochet over the ring and into the circle to fill the

center. Last I would crochet ears on top, embroider a beak and feet, glue on moving eyes and a magnet and decorate my refrigerator with them. The one pictured has lost an eye over the years.

The second is an example of how you can use graph paper to make your own owl pattern for your quilt, pillow or bag. Simply make your design and cut it adding a quarter inch seam allowance around all cut sides of each block. Good luck and send up pictures of your own creations.

Dear Miss Needles Dear Miss Needles: I have decided to learn to recycle and reuse. I want to darn some socks and want to know the best way about it. Signed - Thrifty Dear Thrifty: I applaud anyone's efforts to save a penny and to mend clothes.

Mending is such a lost art these days when it is so much easier to throw away and buy new. They actually make darning needles, but I prefer to use quilting thread and quilting needles commonly referred to as "Smalls". The smalls waste less thread because you can sew using up a lot of thread and they are easier to get in and out of the

loopes in the knit. Remember most socks are knit material so to keep the hole from unraveling or getting bigger, you need to sew through the loops so it does not ravel.

Then you need to close the hole by using a stitches that form similiar to a chicken scratch embroidery stitch.

Good luck.. I love using old socks for cleaning. Tube socks were great for plishing with wax. Do they still make tube socks?

Dear Miss Needles: Can you think of an alternative to the needles you purchase to pump up tires and basketballs? Mine keep getting stepped on or bent. Signed

Trey

Dear Trey: Sorry, I do not. Remember, no matter what the purpose, all needles are tools and should be cleaned and taken care of as such. I am assuming you are talking of old bicycle tires.

Do kids ride pedal bikes anymore? Good luck and I hope my answer did not deflate you.

Do you have a question you would like Miss Needles to answer? Please write to her in care of the Informer or email her at dearmissneedles@yahoo.com . Also, if you would like your art featured in The Informer, please let me know.

Minutes were made available to council prior to meeting. Motion made by Councilman Church and seconded by Councilman Carpenter to approve corrected minutes for January 22, 2013. Vote on the motion showed all members voting yea. Motion carried.

Mayor Troy Jolly announced that Zollie Gardner would be representing Manchester on the TV program “The Voice” Mayor Jolly also reported that we would be meeting with the insurance organization tomorrow.

Mayor Jolly had the solicitor check about the appointment for the squad positions.

The Mayor said under ORC 737.22 he would like to appoint Kevin Walters with the approval of council.

Councilwoman Henderson asked why the position wasn’t being advertised. The Mayor said that it was an appointed position. Both Councilman and Hildebrand thought that there should be a chain of command and that Rick Bowman, who is over squad and the fire department should have input on who is hired.

Bowman said that he thinks Kevin Walters is a good EMT and has not problem with him but they have always taken applications in the past. Mayor Jolly responded that the position was always handed in the past by the Adams County Commissioners because they were over the squad. Since the Village has taken over the life Squad according to ORC should be a Mayor’s appoint-

ment. Bowman also said that he has several that would be good for the position and they should have an opportunity to apply. After discussion Councilman Church recommended that Bowman and his senior officers pick three applicants and then the council and mayor would review to choose an applicant. Bowman and his officers have one month to choose the top three applicants.

The Street Commissioner reported that Greg Scott is interested in a 20 year lease for the gym. He would like to have a lease similar to Farrell Ross. A recommendation was made by the Mayor to have the Buildings and Streets Committee speak with Gregg Scott and report on their findings at the next meeting.

A motion was made by Phipps and seconded by Hildebrand to recommend that Officer Mallott be taken off their probationary period. Vote on the motion showed all members voting yea. Motion carried.

Police Chief, Jeff Bowling handed out his police report.

Rick Bowman asked about the clothing allowance for the water board and was told they would get the clothing allowance. Bowman also said that the Board of Public Affairs had an issue with two mains being down for a number of hours and will be discussing ways to notify people when water is off for an extended time at the next Board of Public Affairs meeting.

Chief Bowman then handed out the squad run report. He also reported that the Fire Department has voted to give back the pay raise and would like to see one person who does not get paid be able to be paid lesser amounts and others to be grandfathered in.

The fire dept. voted unanimously on this at their last meeting. Bowman also talked to the council about the rent fee that the fire department gets from the squad and said that others do this and would like to reevaluate this line item. Councilman Church said that he will meet with the Chief and evaluate this matter.

Christine Henderson reported that the Parks and Recreation Committee was in the planning stages for writing a grant for the park that is due

in May. Mike Phipps reported for the Building and Streets and commended the Street Commissioner on a job well down with the last snow. He is also still looking at the alleys.

Frost Seeding to Improve Forages Here we are in the last half of February. It will not be long before we start to see the growth of pastures. For some that time can’t come quick enough.

This is a great time to make improvements to your pastures, or maybe even you hay fields with a frost seeding of some clovers into your existing stands. Red Clover is commonly used for this.

The clover will improve your forage by providing additional protein, plus it provides nitrogen for you existing grasses.

The idea is to broadcast seed on at a rate of about 8 lbs. per acre with an ATV or tractor when the ground is either frozen or at least pretty firm. With ATVs this is not as much of a challenge as it once was when a tractor was needed.

If the existing grasses are short enough to allow the seed to come into contact with the soil, the opportunity is there for a successful frost seeding.

The seed is then taken into the soil even better as we get mornings where the ground freezes and then thaws during the day. The soil gets a honeycomb appearance and that is ideal.

Politics & Government Support of Ohio Elder Justice Act STAR Plus Program Surpasses $760 Million in Local Government Deposits, Continuing Strong Growth Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine joined state representatives Mike Dovilla and Wes Retherford as they announced the introduction of the Ohio Elder Justice Act. The act, which is intended to strengthen the existing Adult Protective Services Law, aims to improve the response to elder abuse incidents and encourage reporting of elder abuse cases.

The Ohio Attorney General's Elder Abuse Commission, established in 2009, provided many of the recommendations included in the legislation.

We need to do everything we can do protect our senior citizens from both physical and financial harm. We are pleased that representatives Dovilla and Retherford are working towards turning these recommendations into law.

Some of the key provisions in the Ohio Elder Justice Act include: • The requirement of the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services to cre-

ate a registry to help identify patterns of reported abuse.

• The obligation of employees in various financial service industries to report suspected elder abuse to help prevent the elderly from falling victim to financial crimes.

• The establishment of

tective services law," said Representative Dovilla.

"By making long overdue changes to this statute, we will take critically important steps to defend some of our state's most vulnerable citizens."

As we continue to care for the 'greatest generation' and as the 'baby boomer' generation reaches 65, it is imperative that we promote awareness of elder abuse and estabMike DeWine lish safeguards that Ohio Attorney protect our loved General ones," added (R) Representative Retherford.

2012 Marks Record Year for Number of New Business Filings in Ohio More new companies chose Ohio to do business last year than in previous years.

Secretary of State Jon Husted today announced that the number of new companies that filed in Ohio in 2012 set a record for the state, based on data available. In total, 88,068 new entities filed to do business last year – the most in the state’s 209 year history.

“More companies choosing to do business in our state helps grow our economy and increases job prospects for people across Ohio,” Secretary Husted said.

“My office will continue our efforts to make setting up a business in Ohio as easy as possible.”

Secretary Husted also noted that more than 2.1 million new businesses have filed with the state

since Ohio officially became a state in 1803.

Last month, Secretary Husted announced that 2012 year-end filing figures for new businesses showed three consecutive years of growth. In fact, data showed that the number of new companies that

State Treasurer Josh Mandel announced today that the innovative local government deposit program endorsed by the Treasurer’s office, STAR Plus, has surpassed $760 million in local government deposits. The STAR Plus Program was launched in June 2012 and has seen tremendous growth since its inception.

STAR Plus is a safe and secure investment option for government subdivisions such as schools, cities, counties, townships, libraries, and other public entities which provides weekly liquidity and a competitive yield.

“STAR Plus continues to grow and expand across Ohio as more and more local governments learn of the program and what it can offer,” said Treasurer Mandel. “As local governments strive to do more with less, my office is pleased to offer the STAR Plus program as a safe investment option that has weekly liquidity and a competitive yield. STAR Plus is a win-win-win for taxpayers, local governments and community banks across Ohio.”

Since the launch of this program, 261 Ohio government subdivisions have established STAR Plus accounts, depositing $760,944,011 as of February 6, 2013. This includes 107 schools, 36 cities, 18 townships, 32 libraries, and 11 counties,

Trade Adjustment Assistance For More Than 860 Hostess Workers In Ohio U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) today announced that more than 860 workers at Hostess Brands, Inc. in Ohio are eligible to apply for worker adjustment assistance through the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL). Brown urged DOL to act swiftly to ensure financial support for these workers and their families.

“The loss of a job can be a devastating experience,” Brown said. “Ohioans who work hard and play by the rules should not be left to struggle when they lose their job through no fault of their own. These resources will help ensure that displaced workers in Ohio have the financial support and training opportunities to get a fresh start.”

Displaced workers involved in the supply of

product cost and business development services are qualified to apply for assistance.

The Trade Adjustment Assistance program is a federal program that pro-

Senator S h e r r o Brown D-Ohio

vides aid to workers who lose their jobs or whose work hours and wages are reduced as a result of increased imports. The program extends benefits including training for employment in another job or career, income support, job search allowances, and relocation allowances.

Qualified workers may quickly return to employ-

ment through a combination of these services.

Brown has been a leader in Senate efforts to protect the Trade Adjustment Assistance program. Last May, Brown led forty-one U.S. Senators in urging President Barack Obama not to submit any free trade d agreements to Congress—including pending agreements for Colombia, Panama, and South Korea—until Congress agrees to extend a long-term extension of TAA, including 2009 bipartisan reforms that allowed additional trade-affected workers to qualify for assistance.

Thanks to Brown’s efforts, an extension of TAA was passed in September 2011 and extends the program until 2013.

Adams County had 13 workers.

Garret M. Kaetzel,

This week, I have two pieces of important information to share with our veterans.

First, Tom Hughes, the president of the Adams County Veterans Service Commission, lost his home of many years to fire last weekend. Some of you have been trying to contact him for emergency financial assistance. For now, Tom has set up residency at 150 West Second Street, in Seaman, OH. His phone number is 1-937-386-2151.

My second topic is the new Distinguished Warfare Medal that Defense Secretary Leon Panetta announced on February 13, 2013. This medal, according to Panetta, “recognizes the reality of the kind of technological warfare we are engaged in [in] the 21st century.”

This announcement has stirred quite a controversy because the new medal will rank just below the Distinguished Flying Cross. It will take precedence over, and be worn on the uniform ahead of, the Bronze Star with the “V” device, that is awarded “to soldiers for specific acts of valor performed under fire in combat.” “The Distinguished Warfare [DW] Medal will be awarded to pilots of unmanned aircraft, offensive cyberwar experts or others who are directly involved in combat operations but who are not physically in theater and facing the physical risks that warfare historically entails.”

This medal, supposedly, will be awarded for acts such as successfully targeting an individual at a critical time. The DW Medal is the first “forcewide medal recognizing combat achievement since the Bronze Star was created in 1944.”

The highest and least awarded of all medals is the Medal of Honor issued by the U. S. Army to those who display gallantry against an enemy of the United States. It is presented only by the President of the United States on behalf of the American people. Next in rank is the Distinguished Service Cross.

This is a medal awarded by all branches of the military to

Cuffs & Collars Southwest Ohio While working raccoon hunters in Brown County Wildlife Officer’s Schock and Kiebel found a truck with dog boxes in the back.

While waiting to hear the dogs bark they spotted a head lamp coming through the woods. When they made contact with the three individuals one had two dogs on a lease and the other was carrying a gun.

Neither the guy that owned the dogs or the man with the gun have a fur-taker’s permit. Both men were cited for hunting furbearing animals without a furtaker’s permit and each paid $132 in fines and court costs.

loaded, but the hammer was also pulled back and ready to fire. The hunter that had transported his firearm illegally had previously been arrested on wildlife violations. The officers issued appropriate citations into court and the hunters were encouraged to transport their firearms legally.

Southeast Ohio During the deer muzzleloader season, State Wildlife Officers Matt Clark and Darin Abbott made contact with three hunters along a Scioto County roadway. Little did the hunters know that they had been observed throwing snowballs at one of the Division of Wildlife’s deer decoys. The trio of hunters had seen the decoy as they drove past, then went down the road to turn around and drove back to the location they had originally seen the decoy from. While there one of the hunters said “I think it is a decoy” and then said “I won’t shoot it but I want to see if I can get it to run.” The hunter then got out of the truck on the passenger’s side and started throwing snowballs in the direction of the decoy. Upon contact with the hunters, it was noticed that there was blood on the tailgate of the truck.

The Wildlife Officers found that the snowball thrower had a loaded muzzleloader in the passenger seat of the truck.

Not only was the gun

Northeast Ohio Columbiana County Wildlife Officer Scott Angelo was contacted by the West Virginia DNR about a deer that they had obtained during a search warrant. They believed that the deer was illegally harvested in Ohio. With the assistance of the U.S Fish and Wildlife Service and West Virginia DNR, Officer Angelo determined that the subject had shot the deer in Jefferson County, Ohio without first obtaining a hunting license and deer permit. The individual had fictitiously used the hunting license and deer permit of an Ohio resident with the same first name and had them check in the deer. Both subjects were charged with wildlife crimes in West Virginia and Ohio.

The West Virginia resident was found guilty by Jefferson County Judge Corabi and paid $605.00 in fines and court costs. He was also ordered to pay restitution for the deer in the amount of $3,822.71 and his hunting privileges were revoked for two years.

A 10% penalty is charged on payments received after the due date with the exception of a postmark on or before the due date. If taxes are paid within ten days of the due date the penalty is reduced to 5%. Failure to receive a tax bill will not avoid such penalty and interest. If you have not received a tax bill, you may obtain one by calling the Adams County Treasurer at 544-2317.

During the statewide muzzleloader season, Wildlife Investigator Brian Keyser had just finished his workday and was travelling in Lake County to attend his son’s basketball game. On his way to the game, Officer Keyser passed two men carrying shotguns. Neither of the men were wearing hunter orange clothing. Officer Keyser contacted Lake County Wildlife Officer Jason Keller who responded to the area.

He observed an unoccupied vehicle parked along an access lane leading into a nursery property.

He observed an individual dressed in plain clothes carrying a shotgun walking toward the car.

He approached the man who immediately stated he was not deer hunting. He indicated that he had left his shotgun in the woods during the deer gun season and was going back to retrieve it. Officer Keller inspected the loaded firearm and asked to see the man’s hunting license and deer permit. He stated that he had a deer permit but it “wasn’t in his name.”

He added that he purchased his friend’s deer permit because his friend was not going to hunt the rest of the season. Compounding his problems, the man was wanted on an arrest warrant and taken into custody. He was later charged with hunting with a shotgun during the muzzleloader season, failing to wear hunter orange, and hunting without a valid deer permit.

The man appeared in Painesville Municipal Court, was convicted, and ordered to pay a $150.00 fine plus court costs. The Remington 870 shotgun was forfeited to the Division of Wildlife in addition to the fees.

Local Sports Dragons Fell Short to Bearcats Lady Indians Lose to Ironton Ladies

Pictured is The Ironton Girls performing their ritual.

By Britney Bennington, Informer Sports The Lady Indians (12-8) started their journey at Valley High winning their first round against opponent Piketon Lady RedStreaks, moving on to play the Lynchburg Lady Mustangs back at Valley. The lady tribe sailed by them with ease making it to the third round at Waverly High School to face off with Ironton (14-5).

The Lady Indians Started out strong shooting from around the perimeter with ease. Sidney Pell hit a three to start the night, Ironton scored the next possession, but Pell took it back to the same spot and hit a repeat. the Lady Tigers took the ball down but was stolen by Peebles Taylor Brown passing it to Ali McFarland for 2. Brown added another 3 on the next possession to put the Indians up 112 quick. But don't count Ironton out . Sydney Pell fouled Ironton on their end. Bringing the ball in from the side The ball was passed in bounds to Ariel Schweickart who was already set up for the three , hitting nothing but net. Schweickhart hit two more threes and a pair of free throws. Alicia Murphy rounded out the scorers in the first with a trey and a jumper for 5 points her self for the Lady Tigers. Peebles finished the first period down 16-11 But don't count Vohn Hoops Lady Indians to be discouraged, It looked like the only shot Peebles could hit was from behind the arc. Hayleigh Swayne hit her first one of the night and was fouled. Swayne went to the line but couldn't turn it into a 4point play but with that shot The Lady Indians got the rhythm going for A.McFarland to hit another from the top bringing the crowd to their feet to cheer and root them on. With a couple of baskets made by Schweickhart the game stayed tight with the half coming to a close and only 27 seconds left Swayne got down deep in the corner catching the pass and firing the short in one motion hitting the second

three from way behind the line as the buzzer sounded with Peebles trailing 26-25.

The third quarter was a slow start and didn't look like the same game from the first. With 6:54 on the clock none had scored and all of a sudden an Ironton Player vomited on the floor hitting some of the front row on their feet with it, It took appx. 10 minutes to clean up and as I spoke to him he informed me he had been a referee for 12 years and had never once seen that happen before. An athletic trainer at Waverly told The Informer that she does it often when she gets nervous and it wasn't the first time this year.

The Third quarter was a low scoring game for both sides McFarland hit her second 3 of the night and Baylee Wallace added a basket and 2 foul shots to give the Indians 7 points for the period but Ironton didn't do any better only having a basket and 3 of 4 foul shots made giving them the grand total of 5 .

With ironton scoring solow Peebles was able to pull ahead to close out the third 32-31.

The last 8:00 minutes started ticking down and as Ironton came out they started working the clock causing Peebles to become frustrated and make bad choices. Peebles turned the ball over due to lazy passing. Next Possession Peebles controlled the ball Wallace was called for traveling A timeout was called with 6:00 remaining in the game . As they went back out none was producing open lanes and when they did the ball handler would miss the pass. With time still ticking none had yet to score with only 4:00 left when Wallace found the open lane hit Swayne with it and put it up for 2. That would be the only bucket scored in the fourth causing The Lady Tigers to overtake Peebles 37-34.

Hayleigh Swayne was named Player of The game with 10 points . Other top scorers for Peebles were Alex McFarland with 8 and Taylor Brown with 6.

By Britney Bennington, Informer Sports Coming off a rough season Coach Trent Harrop's West Union Dragons still had hope coming into the Sectional Tournament that they could come out and win the first round of tournament play, but everything seemed to be stacked against them. AJ Frost was on the injured list along with Jeffrey Franklin and Levi McUne out for the Dragons. They had a huge slope to climb before they started. Another key player just got over being sick and wasn't back to his full potential. So, when the bus headed for Waverly on Monday, February 18, the Dragons (3-16) were ready to play their hardest against the Paint Valley Bearcats (6-12) for the Sectionals.Coach Harrop said, "We were prepared for this game, we had done our homework and research but they gave us a surprise."

The Dragons won the tip coming down on their end shooting twice but couldn't connect, Valley's Cody Bryan hit a bucket putting the first points on the board. West Unions Adam Hall lost the ball at the top of the key to Clay Stratton running the fast break putting in the easy layup. Bobby Welch quickly answered with a 3 for The Fired up Dragons. On the Defensive end Sellars fouled Bearcats Mason McCloy while shooting. McCloy was unable to hit either foul shot with West Union grabbing the rebound but Valley fouled .

Adam Hall brought the ball down the court passing it off to Brady Hinkle who drove the lane putting up 2. A. Hall grabbed another steal running down the fast-break but missed the layup , Trent Price was there to Rebound and put back up for West Union but was fouled.

Price hit the pair of free throws starting a 5 point run for the Fighting Dragons with Hinkle putting up a layup and drew the foul turning it into a 3-point play.

Valley's Mason McCloy drove the lane

for two ending the Dragons run. A timeout was called with 2:03 minutes left in the first and Dragons leading 12-6.

Dragons Welch hit a three from the corner and Price ended the period with a basket from under the rim as the buzzer sounded giving the Green Team a lead 17-6.

Paint Valley seemed to flip a switch coming out on the floor in the second with Tylar Adkins making the first bucket.West Union shot twice but couldn't get the ball to fall as Valley rebounded. Mason McCloy drove it the entire length of court to put it up for 2. West Union wasn't prepared to deal with McCloy, he had been on the injured list and wasn;t supposed to play so Coach Harrop hadn't worked a strategy around him leaving a big surprise for The Dragons Ball Club.Valley started pounding back point by point on offense and picked up the defense causing West Union to only score 7 points in the second. Dean Hall hit a jumper trying to get his team back in the groove but Valley was too tough on Defense A timeout was called from West Union with 4:40 minutes on the clock and the gap closing 19--22. The clock ticked down as Adkins and McCloy helped bring Valley back into the game . When the buzzer sounded West Union still held onto the lead by 2. Heading into the locker room the Score was 24-22.

After Halftime the Bearcats came out confident hitting the first basket again. Hinkle dribbled the ball down only to be called for the offensive foul giving Valley the ball back.West Union started to slowly slip behind but not giving up.

Tyler Sininger stepped up for The Dragons in the third putting in 3 field goals and Sellars hitting a three along with Hinkle and Price each adding 2 .

West Union kept their lead 38-30 finishing the third.

In the fourth with 6:27 minutes to

go in the game Paint Valley was down by 8. In the next 1:13 the Bearcats dug in their claws and went on a 5 point run leaving them only trailing by 3 with 5:14 until the decision would be made. West Unions Sininger and Hinkle added 2 points a piece to keep Dragons ahead 42-40 . Sellars drew the foul missing the first making the second to give the Dragons a 3 point lead. Michael McCloy fouled West Union with 2:31 minutes left giving him his 5th foul taking him out of the game. West Union had 3 turnovers that caused their demise. Valley scored off of the turnovers and with a minute left Valley Finally took the lead by one 4746. Valley quickly took a timeout with 47.9 seconds left.Dragons Sininger was able to hit a jumper from the line for 2 but that would be all they wrote for West Union. Valley pulled ahead in the last

minutes to come out on top 51-48.It was a sad hard loss for West Union .

"They worked hard all year and played very very well, It went good for a long while, but Valleys defense stepped it up. Brady Hinklehas stepped up for us since we have people on injured list.

Sellars done great too." Coach Trent Harrop spoke to me," We rebounded and played well the first half, but McCloy came out playing and suprised us. But on the good side we have a lot of sophmores and juniors so we will see who will does best from now until next year.

Thats who will get the playing time."

Brady Hinkle earned a Double Double during the game a hard thing to do. Hinkle had 12 points and 13 Rebounds. Sellars almost received one he had 10 Rebounds and 8 points.Dean Hall came in with 7 assists and 5 points.

The Indians Tribe Lost in Overtime to Mustangs

A typical sight during the game as the Indians scrambled for the ball.

By Britney Bennington, Informer Sports Saturday night, February 23, in Waverly was a busy night for the police force at the Waverly High School. The Peebles Indians (14-5) and Lynchburg Mustangs (8-10) both traveled to meet up and decide who would move on to play at the Convo on March 5 and the crowds followed suit to root on their home teams some cheering and others causing a bit of a disturbance and keeping the police moving all over the gym the entire game.

Lynchburg's Ryan Inman and Indians Tyler Ryan matched up at half court for the tip-off, the ball went up and Ryan tipped it to his advantage giving Lynchburg first possession, but was unable to score and Indians taking control . Trent Arey and Beau Justice teamed up for the Indians and with a few moves and a slick pass around Lynchburg Defense Justice squared up from behind the arc draining his first 3 of the night and putting Peebles on the score board first. Lynchburgs next possession didn't get far with Peebles Matthew McAdow stealing the ball, but

couldn't keep the ball in bounds giving it back to Lynchburg. This time the Mustangs would capitalize with Gage Waits hitting a long ball from the corner to tie it up. Indians Arey passed the ball to top of key to hit Justice with it. Justice put it up but went off to the left with Mustangs Waits to rebound bringing it down, but again another missed basket. Matthew McAdow would break the cycle hitting a jumper for the Indians giving them 2 more. Peebles next chance at scoring Trent Arey took the shot but was blocked by Lynchburg's Inman with the ball falling into Devin Piersons hands. Pierson went barreling down the sideline running into Peebles Defense with both falling. The whistle blew and the Charge was called against Pierson. Both sidelines were on their feet Indians fans cheering and Mustangs hollering bad call.

Lynchburgs pep squad drove up in a school bus filled to maximum capacity taking up a large section of the bleachers bringing yellow foam beaters and girls with letters wrote on their stomachs each girl with one letter all stand-

Quickly Peebles brought the ball in bounds pounding the floor Arey passed to wide open Mason Johnson left to score the easy bucket giving Peebles the lead 9-6 with 3:05 minutes left in the first. Neither team letting up Mustangs Pierson powered through the paint rolling one in. Peebles turned the ball over quickly Lynchburg Senior Tyler Allen set up for the shot making the trey and giving Lynchburg their first lead of the night 11-9 with 2:20 minutes remaining. Arey picked up the pace fo Peebles driving the baseline making a short bounce pass to Tyler Ryan putting it in off the backboard. Mustangs Allen set up in the same spot as before squaring away and hitting a repeat 3.

Peebles threw the ball in to Justice, not wasting any time Justice jump stopped on the wing ripping the net and bringing Peebles to trail by one 13-14. Alec Smith was fouled by Indians Tyler Gray.

Smith would hit two foul shots to pull Lynchburg ahead by three, but Smith turned around and fouled Gray right back with 17.6 seconds. Gray made the first free shot for Peebles, but missed the second. Justice fought for the rebound putting it up from under the rim with 3.7 seconds and tied the game 1616 to finish the first.

Coming into the second quarter things switched gears from having multiple scorers from both teams in the first to just a few from each during the second. The score stayed witin a point of each other the entire second quarter with the lead going back-and-forth.

Neither team could manage to score to start the quarter. Mustangs Waits fouled Justice the first possession giving Peebles the ball back on the sideline.

Justice got the ball back at the arc going for the shot but was rejected by Inman , Lynchburg hurried the ball down with Pierson in control Arey fouled during the shot taking Mustangs Pierson to the line missing the first making the second. Fouls would be the trouble for both teams the rest of the quarter Pierson would shoot 2 for 4 from the line in the second with Waits adding a three and a jumper to give him 5 points in the second. Alec Smith added 3 field goals picking up the pace for his team. Smith started only having 2 points in the first but racked in the numbers as the game went on.. Peebles Beau Justice and Trent Arey were a two man show in the second being the only ones to score.

Arey had 3 field goals with Justice adding a field goal, knocking down a three and was 1 from 3 from the line giving the two 12 points for the second.

The last play of the half was a memorable one and one that would get the crowd up on their feet, half screaming the other half cheering on. With the score 29-28 Peebles down Justice was fouled at the top of the key with :02 left on the clock and Justice heading to the line for Bonus Free throw shooting.

Justice shot the foul shot knowing the ball was off he crashed the boards grabbing his own rebound and tipping it back up in all in one motion. The ball rolled around the rim finally falling in.

Peebles was cheering so loud you alost couldn't hear the whistles blowing. The ref waved his arms back and forth saying basket no good buzzer went off before it left Justice's hands.

Lynchburg went wild and Peebles couldn't believe it. Both teams headed into the locker room dragging their feet from a fast paced first half leaving the score 29-28 Lynchburgs lead.

The second stanza started out looking like a replay of the first half

Mustangs Inman went up for the first shot of the half, but Peebles Justice stripped him of the ball running the fast break to finish with a gentle layup.

Lynchburg quickly answered back. In the first 2:00 minutes Trent Arey was called for charging two possessions in a row getting himself into serious foul trouble for Peebles leaving him with 3 fouls and 14:00 minutes of play time left in the game. Areys teammate Mason Johnson went up and under the rim to put one up but was fouled by Pierson.

Making the Peebles ahead by one 3433 with 4:38 minutes to go in the third.

The rest of the third was left with fouls being called on both sides and Arey picking up his fourth. Lynchburg's Allen hit two 3's quickly and the Mustangs being 6 for 6 from the line Lynchburg pulled ahead by 10 to end the third 3949. Both teams came back out on the floor to start the fourth, but was stopped 8 seconds into it with a foul coming from Peebles. Senior Trent Arey picked up his 5th foul and finished his last game of his high school career on the bench the entire fourth quarter.

Lynchburg thought they had the game won, but Peebles rallied everything they had slowly gaining with 6 players from Peebles scoring in the fourth period.With 3:58 minutes left Peebles Tyler Ryan picked up his 5th foul sitting him down as well. The fighting Indians kept closing the margin when a timeout was called by Lynchburg with 2:28 minutes to go and Peebles only down by 5 wtih the scorboard reading 64-59. Coming off the timeout Justice hit a three from the top of the key bringing it within 2.

Peebles put the full court press on Lynchburg, Justice almost had the steal at half court bringing him and 2 players from Lynchburg to their knees fighting for the ball. Mustang player regained control getting it to Jacob Skaggs but missed shot with Peebles rebounding. Justice giving it every thing he had down the court pulled up for the shot right on the three line hitting the bucket and the ref calling it a 2 point field goal. That shot tied the ballgame 64-64. Gage Waits had the ball moving around the perimieter for Lynchburg.

Waits with 15 points on the night fired a shot in but was off with Cody Ironton rebounding for Peebles. Coach Arey called a timeout for Peebles with :47 seconds to go. Peebles had taken a 175 run against Lynchburg to get themselves back in the game. The Tribe came back out ready to burn the clock down to one last shot. Passing in and out of the perimeter and wings the ball went back to Justice who lost control of the ball being doubled teamed. Justice was trying to call timeout before he lost the ball, but the ref wouldn't. Justice gained enough control to get the ball to Matthew McAdow standing behind the arc on the right wing. Coach Arey and Coach Justice couldn't see the entire floor and wasn't still screaming for the time out, McAdow shot the three , the ball going up like a rainbow and straight into the rim touching nothing but the net. The Buzzer sounded but the whistles were going off too. The ref called the shot no good due to Peebles Coaches calling timeout before ball was released.The ref was smiling from ear to ear and the crowds were going nuts. One Lynchburg fan had already been removed earlier in the fourth taking four cops to get him out and a Peebles fan had been warned to quiet down. Mothers were complaining about the Girls with Letters on their stomachs so the police warned them.

A rough crowd to say the least. The clock was reset with 3:8 seconds Peebles ball, but unable to get shot off, the score stayed tied 64-64 and into a 4:00 Overtime. With Several Peebles players on the bench for foul trouble the Tribe didn't have another 4 minutes in them.

Lynchburg took the win and heading to the Convo Saturday, February 2, winning 78-68.

The North Adams Green Devils celebrating their Win.

By Britney Bennington, Informer Sports Friday, February 22, might have been just any other Friday night to most people, but to The North Adams Green Devils (119) it was a shot to continue their basketball career and give the graduating seniors everlasting memories. The Huntington Ross Huntsmen (8-10) traveled to Waverly High School to match up with the Green Devils to decide which teams dreams, ball season end and which team would continue to the Convo in Athens.

The Green Devils came out looking strong, ready to play and that's exactly what they did. They came out with a 10-0 lead after 3 minutes of play. The Green Devils played a well rounded first period with four seniors scoring: Kris King hit a 3 and a field goal for 5 points, followed by Seth Sparks with 5 points, Levi Bales 4 and David Shipley with 3. The Huntsmen's Jacob Kellough was able to hit a three and a jumper to put Huntington on the board before the end of the first with a score of 17-5 at the buzzer.

North Adams continued the rhythm into the second period showing that they were going to be a force to be reckoned with at the Convo. Another senior added to the scoring column Sheridan Carroll with a basket of his own. The Devils continued to show crisp passing and true team work. North Adams gave up 2 field goals on defense and fouled Austin Long making a pair of free throws for the Huntsmen bringing the first half to a close with North Adams having a large lead 32-11.

Starting the Second half King came out hitting the first shot of the third period. Devils Gardner stole the ball from Huntington passing it to Kris King and as he caught the ball his shorts came down to his ankles giving both sides of the crowd a chuckle and a red face for King. With a little less than 2:00 minutes left and North Adams up by 12 Seth Sparks deflected the ball starting the fast break. Never slowing down Sparks went up for the dunk hanging on to the rim the ball hit the back of the rim and flew to half court, but North Adams crowd loved it and with Sparks graduating and the large lead it was nice to see him dunk and give both crowds some entertainment. S.Carroll and Sparks both had 2 points from free throws and

Seth Sparks Player of the game was honored with the net from their Sectional Win. Junior Devin Gardner hitting a three 2 field goals and 1 foul shot to give him 8 points in the third period. Huntington had their best quarter scoring 11 with Elijah Shanks having 8 of them bringing up their total scoring to 46-22.

The fourth quarter was a nice 8:00 minutes of basketball to watch .With 4:27 remaining in the game S.Sparks and King came out of the game, but not without a standing ovation.:05 seconds later Levi Bales fouled Huntsmens Austin Long giving him his 5th and another standing ovation as he came to the bench Coach Nathan Copas rotated his bench in so that everyone could get playing time in and get to experience playing in the Sectional Finals. Bringing in Stephen Rabold and Brady Sizemore off the bench for playing time. Shipley hit a three and Rabold ended with 2 points. Hank Sparks hit back-toback three. The bench added 11 points at the end leaving North Adams team all successful beating The Huntington Huntsmen 65-30 . The only thing left was to cut the net down and name player of the game and that Honor went to Senior Seth Sparks.

Sparks ended the night with 18 points.
