Ohio River offers communities beauty, but also some unusual items that wash up on shore BY Martha Jacob The Ripley Bee The Ohio River runs beside the Village of Ripley, Aberdeen and Higginsport in Brown County. Residents living in those villages have adjusted their lives to accommodate the beautiful river. In 1972 Congress passed the landmark Clean Water Act, designed to protect all of America’s waterways, from the smallest streams to its rivers and its banks, from not only pollution but from utter destruction and litter. The Clean Water Act has been a great success at reducing pollution that enters the Ohio River but through the years, a huge array of unusual items have been pulled from the depths of the river, accord-
ing to Lisa Cochran, community coordinator with ORSANCO (Ohio River Valley Water Sanitation Commission) Riversweep. “Ohio River Sweep is an annual event held to cleanup the shoreline of the river,” Cochran said. “Volunteers from all the villages that hug the shoreline take part as well as the many people who boat and fish the river. The sweep helps keep the shoreline and the river suitable for the public.” The WAVE Foundation at the Newport Aquarium regularly releases a list of the top 9 weirdest things that the River Sweep has found through the years including: • Unopened and unlabeled aluminum cans of food; • Stuffed animal ‘mon-
ster,’ which won the oddest item found in 2014; • Unopened squeeze-it drink bottle; • Old lampshades; • Torn-up volleyball; • A NWO Wrestling poster; • Soggy blueprints for a skyscraper; • Bags of dirty socks. According to Cochran some of the other strange items found include trucks, a class ring, several water heaters and refrigerators. One of the boat captains with BB Riverboats in Newport told people on one of its dinner cruises that several tractors, riding lawn mowers and many push mowers have also been pulled from the Ohio River. He added that many bowling balls have been fished from its waters as well and no one has a clue

Ripley Library Talk
BY Alison Gibson The Ripley Library
Selecting books is fun, frustrating, interesting, challenging and a gamble. What sounds good in the catalog or review may be a big ‘seller’ around here, or may just sit on the shelf. There are some authors you know will circulate well, some you hope will if you can get people to try, and some you just think the library needs to have, and while it might not fly off the shelf, it will steadily go out for years and years. This week’s selection is a variety of the above. James Patterson is a no-brainer, and Monday’s release of Woman of God has plenty of holds on it. Can the world accept the concept of a female Pope? Can she escape all that want to harm her? Will she take the position if offered? A little different for Patterson, but still a guaranteed high circulation book. Karin Slaughter is another popular thriller/suspense author and she returns with agent Will Trent in The Kept Woman. Second tier (for popularity) fiction titles would be Pushing Up Daisies by M.C. Beaton, the continuation of the Agatha Raisin cozy mystery series, and Thrice the Brinded Cat Hath Mew’d by Alan Bradley, with spunky twelve-year-old Flavia de Luce back in England solving crimes and putting up with her insufferable sisters. For biographies, there are many fascinating people being written about, both living and dead, but for some reason, biographies typically do not check out as often as fiction. I’m determined to continue to try, so the soon to be released titles include
Bruce Springsteen’s autobiography Born to Run, covering his childhood, the years playing in bars, the work, the people and the ‘why’ he does what he does, and he writes in a lyrical, conversational way that is easy and insightful to read. Not strictly a biography, but I would still consider it close to one, is Candice Millard’s Hero of the Empire: The Boer War, a Daring Escape and the Making of Winston Churchill. As a young man, Churchill thought he needed to do something spectacular, but everything he threw himself into fame still eluded him. As a journalist, he went to cover the Boer War, but was quickly ambushed along with the soldiers he was writing about. His daring escape, and return to save the soldiers he was with, was legendary. His actions and the people he met along the way all helped shape him into one of the iconic figures in world history. Lastly, author Tracy Kidder writes about Paul English in A Truck Full of Money. Paul is a multi-billionaire, having grown up in working-class Boston, has kinetic energy, genius and an innocent approach to the world—a computer geek, pied-piper and consumed with ideas that often work. He represents the new money and new ideas of the 21st century, sometimes frivolous, yet vital to our modern society. Interesting read. Thanks to everyone that made the Russellville Book and Bargain sale a success this past Saturday. The rain held off, the Friends and staff of the library worked hard, and thanks to the generosity of the people that came to the sale, it was a good day.

Checking in with the Ol’ Fisherman
I went down to the New England Club last Monday to see a friend. He could fix big equipment and when they were building the dam here at East Fork he did a lot of that work. He is a special friend. On Wednesday I went to the PERI meeting. This is a union and a feller talked about the health Insurance we have and how it has changed. I have been working in the carpenter shop building items for the craft shows coming up. The first one is November 5 at Russellville. The next one is in Goshen on November 19 at the Goshen high school. Both of these craft shows are good ones. Both of the shows have food. The Goshen Lions Club has the one on November 19 with a pancake breakfast then lunch. I have been making the little wren birdhouse. This is different from any others I have ever made. It is smaller and has a small hole for the bird to get in. The little town on the Ohio River, Moscow, held their celebration for 200 years. This is something to celebrate. Rick Crawford tells a story
about Moscow and if you have the opportunity to talk to Rick, ask him about the story. There is so much history in Clermont County. Go to the library and get the history books on Clermont County and you will learn how Owensville was called Boston at one time. The farmers market in Bethel on Friday evenings from 4 PM till 7 PM has been good this year. The gardens are starting to die out – the tomatoes I planted in April are still having some green tomatoes and the ones I planted in June are done. On Sunday after church I went to the Nause for their family reunion. Ruth Ann and I were invited several years ago to attend. This is a fine family. Jerry and I grew up about a mile apart. They lived in Newtonsville and I lived a mile above Newtonsville. Their dad was a hard worker and was like my dad. There was a big crowd there and some of the kids I haven't seen for many years. Jerry and his wife have a beautiful home and farm. Jerry has a sawmill and saws Cedar lumber for me and does a fine job. They have a couple big dogs that will welcome you. Jerry's wife, Sandy, does ceramics and has a bunch of molds and a kiln to fire them. After they cool you can paint them. Sandy holds classes on Wednesday from 12 noon till 8 PM so if you
The Brown County Genealogy Society will be celebrating their 40th Anniversary on October 15. They will hold their annual Fall Family Heritage Fest, at the Georgetown Methodist Church.

Ron Ryerson and I attended this zone meeting. There were folks from several Lions clubs there. It was a fine meeting. The Goshen Lions furnished the dinner and by golly it was as usual wonderful. They have some excellent cooks like Ruth Ann. Their minister belongs to the Lions Club and he is a very special fellow. I need to go have the truck serviced this morning. I try to have it serviced every 3000 miles so I can keep it in good running shape. I talked to Mike at the Boars Head Bait Shop in Afton this morning. He said a young feller got an eight point buck deer last Saturday, the first day of bow deer season. He said there were several does harvested as well. The fish are biting good. The milkman that fishes a lot said every fifth Crappie caught is a keeper. They need to be 9 inches long before you can legally keep them. Mike said the fishermen are catching lots of stripers some weighing as much as 7 to 8 pounds. The musky are biting good with some 40 inches long. Folks that is a big fish! It takes good tackle to land one of these. He said the channel catfish are still being caught along with carp and bluegills. The Crappie and bluegill were Ruth Ann and my favorite fish to eat. I always filleted the fish. When our girls were small and we had fish, Ruth Ann would pick out the bones. I said I would learn to fillet the fish or quit fishing so the first few had some bones but I learned how to do it. Now Mr. Chester as I

I understand the Kinner Express will be playing in the Flora hall at 3 PM. Start your week by going to the house of worship of your choice and praising the good Lord. God bless all . . .

Finding new uses for old things CHRISTINE TAILER COLUMNIST
We have never been minimalists. As urban dwellers we would hold periodic yard sales to divest ourselves of unused items, but now that we live on a farm, and have the use of multiple barns and sheds, we seem to simply accumulate. Oddly enough, it is amazing how frequently our accumulated stuff comes in handy. When the mice were chewing their way through the sugar shed door, trying to gain access to the sweet smelling honey equipment stored inside, Greg knew just what to do. He retrieved some of the left over green metal roofing from the cabin, and cut several strips to wrap around the door frame and the bottom of the door. Problem solved. And when the little John Deere crawler needed a seat, we were amazed to find that the top of an old swivel office chair fit quite perfectly, without any alterations at all. It is also
an amazingly comfortable seat, and really does cushion the crawler's bumpy ride. We have cut the bottoms off of old wine bottles and created wind chimes that we hang on the front porch and give away to friends. The hand wheel from an old treadle sewing machine serves as the yard art base for a granite sphere. An antique clock's pot-metal housing is now the outside fairy home for my collection of assorted miniature metal frogs, birds, and elves. But perhaps I am most proud of the re-used project we came up with this weekend. Greg was framing in the loft bathroom in our new log house as I was painting clear preservative on the inside log walls. Greg called down from the loft that the bathroom wall's height, measuring from the loft floor to the vaulted ceiling, was over eleven feet. That would be a huge expanse of wooden wall that he rightly thought we should somehow break up, perhaps with a shelf ledge or some dark colored trim board. I smiled. I knew just what to do. I ran down to the pole barn and made my
way around multiple tractors and assorted tractor implements. There, tucked away in the far back corner, was a pile of old wooden chairs and my collection of old wooden windows. I was looking for one window in particular. It was a heavy, beveled glass window that at one time ran down the length of a nineteenth century city house door. Now it would shed light from the loft's cathedral ceiling into our upstairs bathroom, and it would break up the expanse of the tall bathroom wall. I brushed off the cobwebs and thirteen years of barn dust and carefully carried the window out of the barn. I was amazed at the weight of the thick glassed window as I carried it back up the hill to the house. Greg measured it and set to building the frame that would hold it in place as I stripped off several layers of century old paint and used a razor blade to clean off the beveled glass. Several coats of clear varnish later it was ready to lift into place. We stepped back and looked up at the window. It looked perfectly at home
in our new house. Perhaps we do have far too many things taking up space in our various barns and sheds, but I am a firm believer that someday these things might just come in handy. Some folk may call it recycling, or even up-cycling. I simply know the reward of being able to put an old thing to a perfect new use.

DIABETES-INDUCED BLURRED VISION As we all know, one of the best ways to reduce the risk of developing cataracts is to wear sunglasses and wear broad-brimmed hats that shield the eyes from damaging ultraviolet (UV) rays. Another way to prevent the eye lens from clouding involves making a slight adjustment to our diets. Research involving sets of twins over a period of ten years shows that consuming diets rich in vitamin C was associated with a 33% reduction in risk of cataract development. It is thought that vitamin C’s ability to inhibit eye lens opacity is based on its strength as an antioxidant. The fluid inside the eyeball is normally high in vitamin C content, which helps prevent oxidation and lens cloudiness.
Should you change your diet? At KENTUCKY EYE INSTITUTE, we stress preventive eye health care and periodic checkups by your ophthalmologist. Regular medical eye exams may help prevent unnecessary vision loss. We are committed to providing exceptional vision correction services and making our patients' comfort, safety, and satisfaction our top priorities.

Hiser would pull down three touchdown receptions in the Sept. 30 win, all TD passes delivered by Collins. Linebacker Kade Houston had another impressive night on the defensive end, putting pressure on the Devil offense throughout the night. “What I'm seeing is a lot of improvement each week out of the offensive line and defensive line. If the line is not doing its job, nothing else is going to work,” said SB Warriors' head coach Chris Tomlin. “Offensively, we really push them hard in practice.

G-Men in tight battle for 2nd place in SBAAC National Div. BY WADE LINVILLE THE RIPLEY BEE
The Georgetown G-Men are looking to finish up their regular season on a positive note after suffering losses to Western Brown (4-0) and BethelTate (4-2) just before the week-long break for the Brown County Fair. A strong finish to the season is just what the GMen need, as the tight battle continues for second place in Southern Buckeye Athletic/Academic Conference National Division standings. The Bethel-Tate Tigers
have nearly clinched the SBAAC National Division title with a perfect league record of 8-0 as of Oct. 3, while the Blanchester Wildcats stood in second place in league standings with a 5-1-1 record and the G-Men in third with a 4-21 record. Coming off fair break, the G-Men were scheduled to host the Clermont Northeastern Rockets in a league game on Oct. 4, a team the G-Men defeated 7-0 the first time they faced this season. The G-Men will then host Blanchester on Oct. 5 with hopes of pinning the
Georgetown’s Cameron Brookbank fires off a shot during the G-Men’s league battle against Bethel-Tate.
Fayetteville-Perry head football coach Kevin Finch knew coming into the 2016 season that defeating Miami Valley Christian Academy would be one of his Rockets' toughest challenges in their quest to repeat as Ohio Valley Athletic League champions, and on Sept. 30 at Fayetteville the Rockets moved one huge step closer to bringing home their second consecutive league crown by defeating MVCA 24-13. With the week six win, the Rockets rose to an overall record of 4-2 and a 2-0 record in OVAL play, climbing to the top in league standings. “Its always interesting how things will go during fair week but the players responded against a very good MVCA team,” said Finch. “The defensive and offensive lines played very well on both sides of the ball. At one point in the second quarter we got a big defen sive stand on a 4th and goal from the two-yard line and turned right
around and punched inn a 20-play drive that ate up most of the seven minutes remaining in the half. Chase Jester added three more touchdowns on the season. We now have to refocus for Manchester week.” The Rockets are on their home field for the third straight week to host the Manchester Greyhounds (1-5) in their third OVAL contest of the season o n Oct. 7. After trailing MVCA 70 at the end of the first quarter, it was a touchdown by Jester followed by a successful two-point conversion to give the Rockets an 8-7 lead that would hold out until halftime. The Rockets relied on their fierce running game to outscore MVCA 16-6 in the second half of play to secure an 11-point victory. Of the Rockets' 249 yards of total offense, 241 were rushing yards that r esulted from outstanding blocking from Tay Call, Andy Smith, Garhett Thompson, Nate Parks, Ryan Shaw, and others. The Rockets were also
impressive on the defensive end to limit the skilled MVCA team to only one touchdown with much credit going out to defensive linemen that included Smith, Thompson, Skylar Minton, and Call. MVCA dropped to a 4-2 overall record and 0-1 record in OVAL play with the week six los s at Fayetteville. Jester would take 25 carries to total 156 rushing yards and three touchdowns, averaging 6.2 yards a carry against the MVCA defense. In six games this season, Jester has totaled 1096 rushing yards with an average of 7.1 yards per carry and 18 touchdowns, while teammate Austin Brockman has rushed for a total of 347 yards with an average of five yards per carry on the season. The week six win moved the Rockets to sixth place in Division VI, Region 24 standings, putting them in position for the Fayetteville-Perry football program's first ever berth in the postseason playoffs ahead of No. 7 ranked Miami East and No. 8 ranked Williamsburg.

Broncos on top in SBAAC American Division at 6-0-2 Western Brown boys soccer team unbeaten at 10-0-3 BY WADE LINVILLE THE RIPLEY BEE
The Western Brown Broncos remained on top in Southern Buckeye Athletic/Academic Conference American Division standings with a recent 1-0 win over Norwood and ties against Goshen (0-0) and Batavia (1-1). The win over Norwood, along with the two ties, put the Broncos at a 6-0-1 mark in league play while they remained unbeaten on the season with an overall record of 10-0-3. Of their 13 games this season, the Broncos have held opponents scoreless in 10 games as sophomore goalkeeper Sam Linkous continues to push the bar higher as the school's record holder for singleseason shutouts. On the offensive end, junior Austin Schweitzer ranks among the Broncos' scoring leaders with 11
goals on the season, while also performing well for the Broncos have been sophomore forward Chase Easterling, sophomore midfielder Austin Coffey, and junior midfielder Colston Roades. Coffey scored the gamewinning goal in the Broncos' Sept. 1, 1-0 league win at New Richmond, marking the New Richmond Lions' only league loss of the season. On the defensive end, Linkous has been assisted by some skilled defenders such as sophomore Wesley O'Hara, senior midfielder Gabe O'Hara, and others. The Broncos were scheduled to take on New Richmond at Western Brown High School Oct. 4, and they are back in action on their home field Oct. 6 for a league bout against the Amelia Barons. The Broncos are scheduled to face Ross in a road game on Oct. 10.

offense, and I would have to say Kade Houston is once again the defensive player of the game in my eyes.” The Warriors faced fourth down and goal after marching to the North Adams 15 yard line off a seven-yard carry by Trevor Stamper and a carry of around 40 yards by Dylan Lainhart. The Warriors were held to third down just inside the North Adams 15 yard line, where a pass by
Collins would lead to a touchdown reception by Hiser to give the Warriors a 6-0 lead with 9:48 to go in the first quarter. After holding the North Adams defense scoreless in the next drive, the Warriors capped off their next offensive drive with a short touchdown carry by Collins on the quarterback keeper. Following the successful kick for the extra point by Matthew Brown, the Warriors held a 13-0 lead with 1:49 remaining in the first period. The third Warrior touchdown of the night

was a another reception by Hiser on fourth down to aid the Warriors to a 20-0 lead. The SB Warriors rose to a 2-3 overall record on the season with the Sept. 30 win, and they plan to take on Landmark Christian in their next outing which will take place on Oct. 14. In the meantime, the Warriors will continue to put in hard work on the practice field with the goal of continuous improvement. “This is a young team, but we're progressing and that's what is important,” said Tomlin.

OHSAA announces reorganization of several administration responsibilities P RESS RELEASE T HE R IPLEY B EE
The Ohio High School Athletic Association has revamped several sport administration responsibilities to better utilize staff and areas of expertise, OHSAA interim commissioner Dave Gray has announced. The announcement comes after months of internal meetings that identified potential changes among administrators, while also clarifying duties for the OHSAA staff who assist those administrators in the day-to-day facilitation of those sports and tournament. With the addition of lacrosse, the OHSAA now has more sanctioned sports (26) than full-time staff members (24). Those staff members serve 821 high schools and 895 7th/8th grade schools. “We strongly believe that these changes will not only help our internal work flow and efficiency, but also better serve our member schools, too,” Gray said. “We have identified several ways in which our
administrative staff can be better utilized in their areas of expertise, while also better defining the overall staff duties to meet the needs of our member schools, tournament managers and many others.” The changes are mainly in the “team” sports, as Assistant Commissioner Jerry Snodgrass will take over four more sports, including field hockey, volleyball, ice hockey and lacrosse. He will also remain the administrator for soccer, basketball, baseball and softball. Of note, the OHSAA defines team sports as those in which teams advance on a bracket, while “individual” sports as those in which student/athletes can advance in the tournament regardless of his/her team’s placement. Assistant Commissioner Beau Rugg will continue as the sport administrator for football and wrestling, while also overseeing the state’s officiating program that includes nearly 15,000 licensed officials.

The risk factors for breast cancer Cancer is a formidable foe. Among women, no cancer poses a greater threat than breast cancer, which the World Health Organization reports is the most often diagnosed cancer both in the developed and developing worlds. The following are the established risk factors for breast cancer. · Gender: Being female is the single biggest risk factor for developing breast cancer. Men can get breast cancer, but the risk for men is substantially smaller than it is for women. According to Breastcancer.org, roughly 190,000 women are diagnosed with invasive breast cancer each year in the United States alone. · Age: The American Cancer Society notes
that about two out of every three invasive breast cancers are found in women ages 55 and older, whereas just one out of every eight invasive breast cancers are found in women younger than 45. The WHO notes that instances of breast cancer are growing in developing countries, citing longer life expectancies as one of the primary reasons for that increase. · Family history: According to the WHO, a family history of breast cancer increases a woman's risk factor by two or three. Women who have had one firstdegree female relative, which includes sisters, mothers and daughters, diagnosed with breast cancer are at double the risk for breast cancer
than women without such family histories. The risk of developing breast cancer is five times greater for women who have two first-degree relatives who have been diagnosed with breast cancer. · Menstrual history: Women who began menstruating younger than age 12 have a higher risk of developing breast cancer later in life than women who began menstruating after their twelfth birthdays. The earlier a woman's breasts form, the sooner they are ready to interact with hormones and chemicals in products that are hormone disruptors. Longer interaction with hormones and hormone disruptors increases a woman's risk for breast cancer.
· Lifestyle choices: A 2005 comparative risk assessment of nine behaviors and environmental factors published in the U.K. medical journal The Lancet found that 21 percent of all breast cancer deaths across the globe are attributable to alcohol consumption, overweight and obesity and physical inactivity. Women can do nothing to control breast cancer risk factors like gender, age and family history, but making the right lifestyle choices, including limiting alcohol consumption, maintaining a healthy weight and living an active lifestyle, can reduce the likelihood that they will develop breast cancer.
tissue has ducts, but only few, if any, lobules. That's because men do not have enough female hormones to promote the growth of breast cells. Breast cancer is
about 100 times less common among men than among women. Only about 2,600 new cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed in men this year. But
men who feel lumps or other anomalies in the area around the nipple should consult their physicians.
Did you know.... Men have a small amount of breast tissue, and that means they can be affected by breast cancer. According to the American Cancer Society, men's breast
Preparing for your mammography visit · Choose a reputable and certified facility. Select a radiology center that is certified by the FDA, which means it meets current standards and is safe. Many women also prefer to select a facility that is covered by their health insurance. Plans usually allow for one mammogram screening per year. · Time your visit. Schedule the mammogram to take place one week after your menstrual period if you have not reached menopause. Breasts are less likely to be tender at this time. · Dress for the occasion. Two-piece ensembles enable you to only remove your shirt and bra for the examination. A blouse that opens in the front may be optimal. Some facilities require you to wear a paper gown for the exam. · Watch your grooming practices. You'll be advised to abstain from wearing powder, perfume, deodorant, ointment, and lotions on the chest or around the area. These substances may look like an abnormalities on the mammogram image, potentially resulting in false positive diagnoses. · Take an OTC pain medication. Mammograms can put pressure on the breasts, which creates discomfort. Breasts are compressed between a plastic plate and the imaging machine. This spreads out the tissue and helps create a clearer picture. If your breasts are tender, medications like acetaminophen or ibuprofen taken an hour before the appointment may ease discomfort. · Expect a short visit. Mammogram appointments typically last around 30 minutes. The technician will mark any moles or birthmarks around the breasts so they can be ignored on the imaging. You'll be asked to hold your breath as the images are taken. If the images are acceptable, you are free to go. But new images may be needed in some instances.

Did you know.... Many abnormalities found on a mammogram are not necessarily cancer, but rather are benign conditions like calcium deposits or dense areas in the breast. If the radiologist or a doctor notes areas of concern on a mammogram, The Mayo Clinic says further testing may be needed. This can include additional mammograms known as compression or magnification views, as well as ultrasound imaging. If further imaging is not effective, a biopsy, wherein a sample of breast tissue is taken, will be sent to a laboratory for testing.

Volleyball season winding down for Lady Jays Wade Linville/Ripley Bee

Ripley’s Haylee King battles at the net during the Lady Jays’ Oct. 3 match against Peebles.
Lady Jays making their way through arduous season schedule RULH volleyball squad falls to Peebles BY WADE LINVILLE THE RIPLEY BEE
Inexperience at the varsity level has made winning difficult for this year's Ripley-Union-LewisHuntington volleyball squad which consists of only one senior. The dedication of firstyear head coach Kirsten Grant and the hard work by many of the varsity players has led to some improvements for this year's Lady Jays, but their efforts have yet to show in the “wins and losses” category. The Lady Jays have certainly taken their share of lumps as they have ventured through an arduous regular season schedule
against more experienced teams. Maybe the varsity experience gained will not show up as wins this season, but it will certainly help in seasons to come. The Lady Jays played host to the Peebles Lady Indians for a Southern Hills League Athletic Conference Division I match on Monday, Oct. 3, and it was the Lady Indians topping Ripley in a match that lasted three sets to claim the victory. The Lady Jays suffered a 25-15 loss in set one to start the match. After trailing 16-8 earlier in the set, the Lady Jays rallied back to cut the Peebles lead to 21-15 with a service point by sophomore Carlee
Daulton. The Lady Indians ended the set on a 4-0 run to seal a 10-point victory and take a 1-0 lead in the match. Following a set of Peebles' errors to give the Lady Jays a 2-1 lead in set two, it was an ace by Ripley junior Andrea Preston that lifted Ripley to a 3-1 advantage. The Lady Indians battled back to tie the set at four apiece, and would go on to hold a narrow lead over the Lady Jays later in the set. A service point by Ripley junior Whitney King would tie the score at seven apiece, but then it was the Lady Indians capitalizing on Ripley errors to take a 20-14 lead in set two. The Lady Indians went

on to win the second set 25-18 to hold a 2-0 lead in the match. The Lady Indians scored the first two points in set three to take an early 2-0 lead, but the lead was cut to one as Daulton rose for a kill. The game was tied at two apiece after the Lady Indians failed to return a Preston serve, and the Lady Jays took a 3-2 lead off an ace by Preston. Another ace by Preston lifted the Lady Jays to a 42 lead. The Lady Jays cruised to a 6-2 lead behind the service of Preston early in set three, with the Ripley junior serving out three aces in the run. The Lady Jays' lead in set three was short-lived,
as the Lady Indians came storming back once again to quickly tie the set at six apiece. The Lady Jays were able to climb back on top to take a 10-7 lead, but again it was the visiting Lady Indians rallying back with a 5-0 run to take a 15-10 lead. The Lady Indians went on to outscore the Lady Jays 10-3 to close out set three with a 25-13 victory and cap off the 3-0 match win. The final portion of their regular season schedule gets no easier for the Lady Jays, as they wrap up their regular season with five road matches and one home matches. The Lady Jays were scheduled to take on the
Lynchburg-Clay Lady Mustangs in a Southern Hills Athletic Conference match on the road Oct. 4, and they were on the road again Oct. 4 to face the Bethel-Tate Lady Tigers in a non-league match. The Lady Jays are scheduled to take on the Eastern Lady Warriors on Oct. 6 at Eastern High School before hosting Mason County, KY in their final home game of the season on Monday, Oct. 10. The Lady Jays will close out their regular season schedule with league matches on the road against Peebles (Oct. 11) and the defending SHAC champion North Adams Green Devils in a road match on Oct. 13.
