Blanton found guilty on all charges BY PATRICIA BEECH PEOPLE'S DEFENDER A heavy law enforcement presence was on hand in Adams County Common Pleas Court on Friday, Aug. 26 a as the jury in the rape and kidnapping trial of Denny W. Blanton, Jr. handed down their verdict - guilty on all counts. Entering the courtroom, the normally unemotional Blanton Jr. was visibly shaken by the sight of his parents. When his mother silently mouthed the words “I love you” his
tightly controlled expression dissolved, and he quickly turned away. Surrounded by extended family members, Lisa Blanton, clad in a pale yellow suit, sat behind her son. As the Clerk of Courts began reading the guilty verdicts, grief overtook her, and she buried her face in her hands, her body folded in on itself, and the sound of her weeping silenced the courtroom. Deputies came forward and helped her from the room. Seated behind the prosecuting attorneys, the
father of the victim, clearly moved by the family's disbelief and grief, removed his glasses and wiped tears from his face. Judge Brett Spencer instructed sheriff's deputies to escort the jury from the courtroom, followed by the victim's father, then the defendant,and lastly the Blanton family. “There's always more than one victim in a rape trial,” Sheriff Kimmy Rogers told the Defender as each group departed the room. Blanton Jr's conviction
followed a week of testimony and evidence presented on behalf of the state by Prosecuting Attorney David Kelley. The former high school football team captain took the stand in his own defense. Under oath he contradicted his initial claims that he did not have sex with the minor girl. Admitting that he lied to Sheriff Kimmy Rogers and Investigator Kenny Dick, he testified that the encounter occurred at the minor girl's request and was encouraged by her.

Winchester Homecoming Festival beats the heat and the storm Popular historical Ghost Ride brings in record numbers BY PATRICIA BEECH PEOPLE'S DEFENDER Caramel popcorn and Ghost Rides were reason enough for some visitors to brave the muggy 90 degree days that settled over the Winchester Homecoming Festival last weekend. “The weather did keep the crowds down some this year,” said festival organizer Patsy Roberts. “But, the vendors were still busy, and I think overall they were happy with the amount of business they did.” According to Wayne Township's Fire Chief Travis Baker, the weather didn't slow the sale of caramel corn (the festival's signature fare). “It's been awesome, better than expected,” he said. “We're almost sold out.” The festival and the heat ended Sunday evening when a torrential thunderstorm swept through northern Adams County dropping hail and knocking out half the town's electricity before it passed. “We saw the storm coming so everybody jumped in and started taking stuff down,” said Roberts. “People were helping the vendors pack up, and we got everything put away, but we were all drenched.” Despite the extremes in weather, crowds did turn out for the festival's full slate of events and musical venues including performances by the Boyer Sisters

and up-and-coming country music singer, David Tucker. “I didn't see Tucker perform, but everyone said he did a great job Saturday night,” said Roberts who, along with several other village residents spent the evening at the founder's cemetery participating in the festival's popular Ghost Ride. Two horse drawn carriages and a trolley transported nearly 500 visitors to and from the cemetery where residents dressed in period clothing and assumed the roles of the town's founders. Roberts' grandson Zack participated in the history re-enactment. “I was a Revolutionary War soldier named John McCormick,” Mark Carpenter | People’s Defender he explained. “When the Revolution ended the government was giving to land Coming home to Winchester was the theme for a weekend of activities and celebrations as this young to soldiers, and when they ran out of land in Virginia man proudly displayed with his parade vehicle. they started giving away land in Ohio. They gave land to McCormick just north of Winchester, so he's buried out there in the cemetery.” Another popular attraction, the Antique Tractor Show, brought in a record number of tractors and farm equipment.

After his service, he returned to West Union and began his career as a well-respected carpenter.

He was a loyal friend to his lifelong buddies. He enjoyed photography, and he treasured all of his captured moments. Mike deeply loved his daughter Danielle and his grandson Braydn Michael. They brought so much pleasure to his life. He loved his mom and dad Phyllis and Kenneth

Mike has found those streets of gold that his brother Charles “Butch” Morgan found on Aug. 4, 2005, and he is now at his eternal home with all of his family that has gone before him. He was preceded in death by his dad John Kenneth Morgan in 1999 and his brother Charles Kenneth “Butch” Morgan in 2005.

We’ve all had one of those days We’ve heard it all before. “We aren’t guaranteed tomorrow, so live for today. There are only 1,440 minutes in a day, so make them all count. Never take a minute for granted. YOLO.” (For you old people like me, that means You Only Live Once in text language.) Wow. That’s a good way to lay on a guilt trip when we feel we don’t measure up. While I agree with all of that, and I do challenge myself to make each day a good one, we’ve got to face the reality that not all days are good. In fact, like Alexander said, some are just terrible, horrible, no-good, very bad days. Sometimes we just can’t wait to get through it and go to bed so everyone will just leave us alone. Those are days we wish Calgon really would take us away. Yes, our kids are growing quickly and we need to cherish every moment, but sometimes they are just - well, unpleasant. I’m pretty sure there’s a reason God made children so cute. And I’m pretty sure it’s because He knew we’d have those days when we feel sick but get out of bed anyway, because even when we are sick, kids still want to eat. Every. Single. Day. Three times. And He knew that inevitably, that would also be the day the basement floods, the dog escapes the fence and the kids ‘accidentally’ lose a frog in the house.

control what happens, but we can control our reaction to it. No, we won’t be smiling through every minute of our lives, but what that irritating poster is trying to instill in us is that those minutes are also not infinite. It is imperative that we do not take them for granted. Even the crummy ones leave us with a little bit of wisdom, empathy, or discernment that we didn’t have before. We are in this moment. Right now. The rest aren’t guaranteed. Bad days will happen and they might be awful. So what? We can still choose to spend our finite minutes forgiving, being kind, being honest, doing good, and giving our best. If we can do all of that in the midst of the ugliness life throws at us, we can eventually find our happiness again. That is where true character shows up. And the children around us have their eyes on us all the time. They watch us to see how we handle difficult situations and follow our lead. If we were on video during one of our ‘moments’ (and these days, we probably are) what would we look like? Is it a video we would be ashamed to watch? Or would it be one of those awesome videos with a great example of what an overcomer looks like? Don’t lash out and complain to anyone who will listen. Don’t slam others on social media. Walk with dignity and show that poster who’s boss. Have a blessed week!
Letters to the Editor To the Editor: The staff and leadership of Digital Works are privileged to have been part of the West Union and Adams County community from April 2014 to January 2016. Thank you to the Adams County Commissioners and the West Union community for your support in bringing job opportunity and information technology (IT) skill advancement to area adults through the Digital Works program. In that short period of time, more than 175 area resi-
dents completed digital skills orientation or received training offerings in client services and IT through our program, resulting in the creation of eighty-seven jobs at the Digital Works West Union facility. Though Digital Works is no longer operating at the facility in West Union, the opportunities and jobs created through the initiative continue. Many of the jobs secured through the program were work-fromhome opportunities and many individuals continue to do just that. Computers and technical
equipment that assisted so many in their professional growth or employment time of need were donated to the Adams Brown Community Action Partnerships (ABCAP). Our staff worked jointly with ABCAP to assist participants that relied on the center as a working location to equip their home offices to make working from home possible for them. Digital Works participants also continue to receive mentorship from our staff members online, via e-mail, and through the Digital
Works Drive portal. This Adams Countyarea job creation would not have been possible without the generous community support the program received. Thank you for supporting the Digital Works program and for helping create 87 local jobs. For more information on Digital Works, visit www.digitalworksjobs.co m. Sincerely, Stu Johnson Vice President, Digital Works and Connected Nation

Tractor - Daniel Henize, and People's Choice - Ed Barry. The festival finale, the Grand Parade, was led Sunday by a Boy Scout color guard and Grand Marshals Kenneth and Sharon Corrill West, who rode in a 1924 Model T Ford touring car. “This community is just like a family,” said Mrs. West. “I was surprised when they told us we were to be the Grand Marshals, we feel very honored, it's really a privilege.” The Wests have lived and farmed in the Winchester area throughout their 55 years of marriage. “I've always lived in Winchester, the only time I was ever away from Adams County was when I did a hitch in the Navy in the mid 1950's,” said Mr. West. “That was B.S. - Before Sharon,” he joked. Mrs. West, who was originally from West Union, laughed, saying she “got drafted into the community when we got married.” Mr. West worked at GE Aviation in Peebles before retiring while Mrs. West and their five children operated the family's farm. “The kids all helped with farming and they're all still close around us,” said Sharon.

Partnering with the Ohio Highway Patrol, area agency employees on Friday, Aug. 26, set up booths on the courthouse square in West Union to raise awareness about the campaign aimed at preventing impaired and drunken driving during the Labor Day weekend. “We position this event during this time of the year so we can keep safety in the forefront of people's minds,” said Debbie Ryan of the Adams County Safe Communities Coalition. “As people drive past us we hope it will soak in that they need to designate a driver. Doesn't mean they can't drink or have a party, just be responsible about it and designate a driver to take them back and forth from the parties.” The two-week Labor Day safety blitz promoted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) encompasses six midwest states: Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, and Wisconsin. The national crackdown calls for zero tolerance through Sept. 7 for impaired and drunken driving. “With the kickoff of

The North Adams High School band marching behind the Grand Marshals played the school's fight song, the Notre Dame Victory March. “It's been several years since we've actually played the fight song in a parade,” said band director Matt William. “Of course we play it for the basketball games, but we thought we'd pull it out for the parade this year.” Members of the Southern Ohio Wheel Chair Buddies followed behind with their caregivers. The group was founded seven years ago by veteran Rick Bell, after he lost the use of his legs in the Iraq War. “We want people
to realize that there is life after the chair,” said Bell before the parade began. The festival Queen, Haley Porterfield and her court (Paige Demlow - First Runner Up and Kristian Alcorn - Second Runner Up) waved and tossed candy to kids along the parade route. The Georgetown High School marching band, colorful floats, classic cars, wailing fire engines, and politicians trailed by chugging antique tractors and riders on horseback brought up the rear. “Overall, it was a very successful festival,” said Roberts. “Everything went smoothly, and everyone seemed to have a good time.”
Defender has been an instrumental voice throughout the Adams County area through its passion for quality journalism; and Whereas, The People's Defender continues to evolve and adapt in the everchanging 21st century of instant, digital communication while providing in-depth coverage of local issues; and Now, therefore, We, John
R. Kasich and Mary Taylor, Governor and Lieutenant Governor of the State of Ohio, do hereby recognize The People's Defender on its 150th anniversary and commend its staff for their commitment to maintaining integrity in journalism.” The resolution was signed by both Governor Kasich and Lieutenant Governor Taylor.
Drive Safe or Get Pulled Over and the approach of Labor Day, we just want to remind everybody to go out and have a good time, but do it responsibly,” said Lt. McElfresh, Commander of the Georgetown Post-Ohio State Patrol and member of the Adams County Safe Communities Coalition. “Either have a designated driver or just don't make the bad decision to drink and get behind the wheel,” In 2013, 38 percent of crash fatalities during Labor Day weekend involved drunk drivers with blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .08 or higher and more than twenty-seven percent of those drivers had a BAC of .15 or higher – almost twice the legal limit. According to Ryan, the Adams County Safe Communities Coalition is charged through the Ohio Traffic Safety Office and the Ohio Department of Public Safety to educate the
community in four main traffic safety initiatives: Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over, Click It or Ticket, Look out for Motorcycles, and Don't Text and Drive. “The Safety Coalition members here in Adams County do all they can to get out in the community to support these traffic initiatives and get them out to the people,” said Ryan. “This August, and every day, remember: there is never an excuse to drink and drive. If you choose to break the law, law enforcement will see you before you see them. This Labor Day, remember: Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over.” A free SaferRide mobile app, available through iTunes and Google Play makes it easy to get home safely when you've been drinking. The app allows you to call pre-selected contacts or a taxi, and also identifies your location so you can be picked up.

Junior Fair Beef BBQ volunteers helped make over 2,000 sandwiches for the 1,177 people served in 2015.
Free Knitting and Crochet classes offered in Russellville Free knitting and crochet classes will be offered at the Rambler Center in Russellville beginning
Friday, Sept. 9. The classes run from 10 a.m.- noon every Friday continuing all the way through Memorial Day of 2017. For more information or to reserve a spot in a class or for a list of supplies, call Mary Kelch at (513) 7342511 or (513) 543-3137.
The 2016 Adams County Junior Fair Beef BBQ will be held tomorrow night (Sept. 1) from 4:30-7 p.m. at the Ohio Valley Career and Technical Center. The always popular event includes pit roasted BBQ sandwiches, baked beans, cole slaw, potato chips, and drinks. Tickets are $9 for adults and $7 for children. All proceeds go to Junior Fair improvements. The Junior Fair Beef BBQ has been an annual event since the early 1960’s and was first started to raise the money to build a covered show arena, one which was in use for over 40 years. That building was remodeled and now serves as the Sheep Barn at the Adams County Fairgrounds. Other projects since the inception of the Beef BBQ include the old green and white booth building, now the rabbit barn, the poultry barn, and helping to black top the roads around the fairgrounds. Money has also gone to the cattle and horse barns, $20,000 to the new show arena, and most recently another $5,600 for metal pens in the sheep barn. This year’s Beef BBQ will feature carry-out service or eat-in service in airconditioned comfort.

When you think of something exciting to do on a Saturday, does sitting all day learning about pollinators ever come to mind? It sounds a little crazy, but after arriving at the workshop, sponsored by the Midwest Native Plant Society, the large room was soon packed. Before the first speaker, I checked out the displays and discovered caterpillars and a Luna Moth with at least 100 eggs. The speakers were impressive. Heather Holm, author of “Pollinators of Native Plants”, Denise Ellsworth, program director of the Honey Bee and Native Pollinator Education Program in Ohio State’s College of Food, Agricultural and Environmental Sciences, and Cheryl Harner, an environmental educator, reminded the audience of the importance of all pollinators. Bees are beneficial insects that pollinate flowering plants by transferring pollen from one flower to another. This is important for plant reproduction and food production. In fact, pollinators
are responsible for one out of every three bites of food you take. While the honey bee gets most of the credit for providing pollinations, there are actually about 500 bee species in Ohio. Holm challenged us to “Bee a Habitat Hero” and tear up your backyard and plant native plants, remembering the importance of native flowering plants throughout the growing season and supporting all life stages of pollinators. “Lawns are the best way to travel from garden to garden,” stated Cheryl Harner. “Friends don’t let friends grow lawns.” I know that seems a little over the top, but remember that the native plants you plant do make a difference. When you plan your garden – think like a pollinator. Provide a variety of flower colors and forms, and mass many of the same plants together. Bees are well-known pollinators, but over 100,000 invertebrates – including butterflies, moths, wasps, flies, and beetles – and over 1,000 mammals, birds, reptiles and amphibians, act as pollinators, according to the National Wildlife Federation.
The Giant Swallowtail caterpillar instar After the lectures we divided into groups to head outside for field trips. My group numbered about 12 and we started walking along the edge of the woods. In 30 minutes I realized we had only traveled about 50 yards. The discoveries were numerous and the leaders of the group were very knowledgeable. Caterpillars, flies, moths, butterflies, skippers, bees, and plant identification kept us in such a small area until the rain came pouring down on us. The find of the day was the Giant Swallowtail caterpillar (Papilio cresphontes). The early instar of this caterpillar actually has a great disguise to confuse predators. When
viewed from the side and top its appears to be bird droppings. Its shiny skin adds to the disguise, giving the larvae the character of a freshly deposited dropping. I am pretty sure we stood at this area for at least 10 minutes taking pictures and marveling at Mother Nature. So there you have it. My deep, dark secret has been exposed. I love to wander around – turning leaves over –hunting for caterpillars. Interested in learning more about caterpillars? Go to Ohioline.osu.edu and click on the tab, Yard and Garden.

Finding Maine, a trip to remember SPORTMEN’S EXIT BY TOM CROSS We took the long way through upstate New York, along the St. Lawrence and Lake Champlain into Vermont and across New Hampshire before we finally found it. On Route 16 was a small non-descript sign proclaiming we had arrived and to watch out for moose. We drove along the Magalloway River between two mountains, past a sign that read Bosebuck Mountain, beyond it a small fly shop with an Orvis sign hanging from it, but nowhere to buy a bag of ice. The last country store we passed was in New Hampshire. My wife Judy did a quick survey of the cooler and said it will last until morning. We had arrived at the Rangeley Lakes region in Maine, an area known for its world-class trout fishing, land lock salmon and moose. I was anxious to wet a line but first we had to find a campsite. The last good night’s sleep I had was at the city park in Cape Vincent watching the fireworks. I don’t remember where we slept the previous night. Our overnight accommodations on this trip were the back of a pick-up camper with a bed roll. Stuffed in the pickup too was a cooler of food, a camp stove, a tent and a couple of fly rods. I had a few fishing destinations in mind but other than that we were going wherever the road led us. We were here to find Maine. We found a spot at the end of a gravel road near a primitive boat launch with a nice stretch of remote sandy beach and a great view of Elephant Mountain and that is where we pitched our tent. After a bite to eat, I uncased a fly rod and waded out to a big rock and shortly hooked into a big leaping land lock salmon. Come morning I caught another salmon just before we packed up to find ice. Judy took one more look at the cooler and said “I
think it will last until evening.” I said “Good”, and we set a course on a maze of gravel logging roads looking for Middle Dam on the Rapid River. At a fork in the road and with the help of a sketchy map, my wife said follow the wooden duck which was nailed to a tree. Sixteen dusty miles later we came to a gate and we put on our hiking boots. I grabbed my waders, fly rod, a bottle of Gatorade and a Snickers bar, Judy grabbed the camera and off we went. Reaching Middle Dam not only required a long drive through the forest on unmarked gravel roads but a mile-and-a-half hike after you arrived at the gate. However the reward is justifiably some of the finest brook trout fishing in the eastern United States. The historic dam, constructed in 1877, is built only of rock, steel and wood and still functions today. Legendary stories of 10-pound brook trout that once resided in the river still reverberate across the fly fishing world. Its scenic beauty is breathtaking and the fishing is as good as the scenery. Land lock salmon and brookies, the size of which I have never caught before, pummeled my elk hair khakis. As the day drew nigh I had to be pulled away, reminded of the long walk back and the need for ice. Leaving Middle Dam was not easy. New adventures can come quickly in the back country and as I made a turn on an unnamed rough and tumble forest road to find a trout pond on the map, a geyser of steam erupted from under the hood of my Chevy pickup. No cell service and 100 miles from nowhere can lead to some anxious moments. I popped the hood to find the source of the trouble and found one of the heater hose fittings had snapped, emptying half the contents of the radiator into the engine compartment. Taking stock of the situation I had a MacGyver moment
and cut a plug from the sprout of a maple tree with my Swiss army knife, rounded it, and disconnected the other heater hose with a pair of pliers. I dug out the remains of the fitting and inserted the maple plug into both ends of the hoses and slid the clamps back on. Lucky for us the cooler by now had no ice, only cold water, which I used to refill the radiator. In short order we were back on the road, this time headed for a country store after an adventurous start to our first day in Maine. We spent the next night camped at Richardson Pond where the loons wooed us to sleep, then camped at a spot overlooking the waterfalls at Cupsuptic River where the brook trout were plentiful and I took a much needed shower below the falls. On Capital Road, on the way to Moosehead, we crossed a fast moving small stream aptly named Cold Stream. I had to stop and fish which was loaded with feisty brook trout. At Moosehead Lake we saw moose and spruce grouse and camped at the end of a narrow rocky twotrack that led to the shores of Indian Pond. At Moosehead Dam the brook trout fishing was superb, matched only by the fishing at Cold Stream a day earlier. Probably the most scenic spot to lay claim to our journey would be Spencer Pond, just north of Moosehead Lake with its view of the Spencer Mountains. From Moosehead we traveled northeast on Sias Hill Road and enjoyed a scenic lunch next to a pine flag pole with the stars and stripes waving in the stiff breeze coming off Chesuncook Lake. From there we followed Golden Road to Baxter State Park to view Maine’s highest peak, Mount Katahdin at 5267 ft., and the beginning of the Appalachian Trail. We camped in Baxter at Nesowadnehunk Stream where the brook trout seemed eager to strike any
well-presented fly. After a week in the Maine backcountry we headed for the east coast to find lobsters and lighthouses. We followed Rt. 1 south then took a left for Lubec to find the eastern most point in the U.S at West Quoddy Head Lighthouse. The sun was on the western horizon when we arrived, setting the red and white striped lighthouse aglow in the last rays of the sun. Down the road a mile was a bumpy jeep trail we followed to Carrying Place Cove, an old fishing wharf where we spent the night camped watching the moon rise over colorful lobster boats and dinghies at low tide. Come sunrise the next morning we set a course for Little River Lighthouse at Cutler. By noon we were at Great Wass Island looking through binoculars at Moose Peak Lighthouse which sits on Mistake Island in Mud Hole Channel. At Beals and Jonesport, which bills itself as the lobster capital of the world, we shared our first lobster roll fresh off the boat from this morning catch in Alley Bay. At Jonesport Harbor we watched lobster boats unload their catch of Maine lobsters that will be flown half-way around the world in two days’ time. Continuing southwest, we drove to the end of Narrow Marsh Road at South Addison to view Nash Island Lighthouse two miles offshore. The next stop was Prospect Harbor and Harbor Point Lighthouse. Eight miles offshore was Petit Manan Island Lighthouse which we could not see. From Prospect Harbor to Winter Harbor, and Winter Harbor Lighthouse was checked off the list. By late afternoon we were nearly exhausted as we rolled into Acadia National Park and luckily got the lone remaining campsite at the park’s Sewall Campground. After we set up the tent, we drove into Bass Harbor to watch the sunset at Harbor Head Lighthouse.

Tom Cross with a nice brook trout at Moosehead. At daybreak we fixed a breakfast of instant oatmeal then packed up and headed for Acadia’s Mount Desert Island and took the national park tour around the rugged coastline of the island. Sometime by mid-afternoon we ended up atop Cadillac Mountain, Acadia’s highest point at 1,530 ft. The view is stunning as one can observe islands and distant lighthouses miles off the coast, and to the north the ships and lobster boats anchored in Bar Harbor were plainly visible. The final stop in Maine was the quintessential seaside village of Bar Harbor with its many quaint shops, fish houses, restaurants and magnificent views of the harbor. Colorful ships of all sizes anchored just offshore awaiting a trip to the blue seas just beyond. The streets
were busy with tourists, shoppers, adventurers, explorers, sailors, fishermen and their wives, all browsing store fronts and reading posted menus featuring the day's catch. We dined on fresh lobster, corn-on-thecob, new potatoes and cornbread, sipping ice-tea on the dock at the Fish House Grill on a sunny afternoon overlooking lobster boats, sail boats, tour boats and tall ships anchored in the harbor. In the village park by the bay while a crisp U.S. flag waved in the strong northeast breeze, people sat on benches looking out at the islands, the ocean, and all the ships that had discovered Maine. It was easy to find. For a photographic journey of Maine visit my Facebook page at www.facebook.com/tom.cro ss.509.

Greyhounds stumble in opener, Green rushing attack leads to big win Bobcats use big second half to pull away for 50-22 victory BY MARK CARPENTER PEOPLE'S DEFENDER A hot and humid Friday night followed the Manchester Greyhound varsity football team as they boarded the bus and made the trek to Franklin Furnace for their 2016 season opener, facing off with the Green Bobcats, a team that the Hounds handled quite easily in the past two season openers. Last Friday night was a different story, however, as the Bobcats got their revenge in a big way, dominating the line of scrimmage on their way to over 500 yards rushing, and with the aid of a 30-6 second half, a 50-22 win over the visiting
Greyhounds. There was no frozen tundra to be found as the two teams kicked off on Friday night, as the Hounds won the toss and quickly went three and out and were forced to punt. Green took over on their own 45 and two plays later, had their first score of the 2016 season, as halfback Alec Smith took a handoff, broke through the line, then streaked down the sideline for a 53-yard touchdown less than two minutes into the game. Running back Tyler Darnell began a big night for himself by running in the two-point conversion and the Cats were quickly up 8-0. After a nice kickoff

return from Avery Reed that took them to their own 48, again the Hounds were forced to punt after three plays, giving Green the ball back at the Bobcat 29. A 24-yard run by Darnell began the drive and despite a holding penalty on a third-and-five play, the home team made that up with a pass from quarterback Alex Hughes to halfback Tayte Carver, then found the end zone again when Darnell scored the first of his four TD's in the game, going 24 yards around left end to paydirt. The two-point try failed but the Bobcats led 14-0, which is how the first quarter ended. Nothing had gone right in the first period for the Hounds until they caught a break late when a Green fumble was recovered by Manchester's Jacob Calvert. That led to early in the second quarter, when a busted play became the first Greyhound touchdown of the season. On third-andfive from the Green 37, quarterback Nick Woolard fumbled the snap, picked it up, and took off around the left side all the way to the end zone for six. James Arias ran in the two-point conversion and the Hounds had pulled within 14-8. The Manchester defense finally got a stop and forced a Bobcat punt, taking possession at their own 18. Four plays later, the Hounds were in the lead. Woolard dropped back to pass and found Arias in the flat, and the junior running back did the rest, going 76 yards for the touchdown. When Patrick Baldwin took across the two-point try, the visitors had suddenly jumped in front 16-14 and had the momentum. That momentum went right back to Green as the Bobcats took eight plays to travel 53 yards, going back in front when quarterback Hughes took off around right end and looked to be tackled, but at the last moment he lat-

The Hounds had one last shot to grab the lead back before the half and drove the ball into Green territory, with 38 of those yards coming on a long pass from Woolard to wide receiver Brandon Baldwin. As the clock was running out, the Hounds had the ball at the Bobcat 12, but Arias was stopped on a second down run as time expired with Green up 20-14 at the break. The second half began well for the Hounds as an onside kick by Brennen Boyd was recovered by Manchester's Luke Thompson at the Green 47, but the Hounds could-
n't move and turned the ball over on downs and from that point on, it was all downhill for the blue and gold. On their second play from scrimmage, Darnell went untouched from 53 yards out for the score that put Green up 26-16 and after a Manchester punt, the Bobcats went on a sixplay, 65 yard scoring drive, capped by another long Darnell TD run, this one 42 yards, as the Green offensive line began to take control and open some gaping holes and Bobcat runners found plenty of running room outside the hash marks. A two-point conversion run by Tyler McClain put the home team up 34-16, but they were far from finished on the scoreboard. On the fourth play of
the final quarter, the Bobcats found the end zone again, this time on a 17-yard scamper by Smith, his second touchdown of the night. A twopoint run by Carver made it 42-16 and things went from bad to worse for the Hounds on their next possession. After losing three yards on three plays, the Hounds were forced to punt and a bad snap eluded the punter Boyd and was covered by McClain, who pulled the ball into the end zone for the score. A Darnell twopoint run put Green up 5016. The Hounds did bounce back and it took them just one play as Patrick Baldwin took a handoff

From page 1B and went 74 yards to the end zone. The two-point run was stopped and the game would later end with Green having a successful week one, defending their home field with a 50-22 triumph. “I thought our kids played extremely hard and settled in in the first half and gave ourselves a chance going into halftime,” said Manchester head coach Dustin Cook. “Unfortunately we were not able to make plays and execute the way we wanted to in the second half. With that being said, I think there are a lot of positives that we can take with a young and inexperienced group that we can build on and become a better football team.” The final stat sheet was dominated by the Green rushing attack, with Darnell leading the way with 229 yards on 18 carries and four touchdowns. Quarterback Hughes carried the ball nine times for 89 yards, with McClain adding 59 yards on the ground and Carver chipping in 56. Hughes only had to throw the ball six time, completing two, both to Carver for 29 yards. Manchester was paced by Patrick Baldwin's 94 yards rushing on 10 carries, with Woolard keeping the rock eight times for 49 yards and Arias getting 10 carries and totaling 20 yards.

Volleyball From page 1B gave them a quick 4-0 advantage. The Lady Titans came charging back, getting a trio of service points from Lexi Smith to take a 7-6 lead. The rest of the set was back and forth, with each fighter looking for that little edge. The score remained within two-three points with the Lady Devils staying close behind kills from Madison Jenkins and Charlee Louden and a later service error from the home team put Notre Dame up 20-19. The two sides began trading points with the lady Titans grabbing a 24-23 lead, forcing Ragan to use her timeout at set point. It worked as North Adams got the next two points to earn a set point of their own, but a Notre Dame timeout was equally as effective as the visitors tied the score at 25. The Lady Devils took the lead twice at 36-25, then 27-26, but it was the Lady Titans getting the final three points of the set to take an exciting 29-27 win. Notre Dame was fast out of the gate in set number two, taking a quick 3-0 lead on the serves of Ali Smith. The Lady Devils fought back, getting a kill and ace from Jenkins to even the set at 6 apiece. With the score tied at 7, Sydney Kendall fired off four straight service points to give her team its biggest lead of the set. Slowly, the Lady Titans began to chip away at the North Adams advantage as the ladies from Portsmouth seemed to get to every ball and sometimes look like they had 12 players on the court. After a long volley, a point went to Notre Dame to give them a 1615 lead, which they later increased to 20-17. At 23-19, Ragan called another timeout, but with the Lady Titans leading 24-20, Louden uncharacteristically hit her serve into the net and Notre Dame had a commanding
