Martin Luther King Jr. honored in Cadiz

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

CADIZ – Finally, after a few years of rain then extreme cold canceling the traditional walk on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. day, the event was held Monday under crisp but manageable temperatures.

King, whose birthday is actually Jan. 15 is honored on the third Monday of every January, and recognized as a federal holiday. And on this third Monday of 2020 approximately 20 to 25 people took part in the walk that began at the village uptown square and ended just down the street at the St. James A.M.E. Church.

Rev. Craig A. Smith, D.D. Pastor did the honors once inside the cozy confines of the church where he gave a speech noting Dr. King’s words and actions right up until the time he was murdered in 1968. He talked of social justice and equality, many things King emphasized during his life.

“We live in a world that reams with inequality based on religion, race, gender and social status,” he told the gathering. “The result is social injustice, racism, discrimination, wars and genocide.” Rev. Smith said that this

kind of behavior was not God’s kingdom but that there was “social justice and equality for all,” which he said is what King preached.

Rev. Smith, who took over the congregation for the late Rev. William Lewis shared his memories of how Lewis was grooming Smith to take over before Lewis died. He said Lewis wasn’t feeling up for the drive into Cadiz from Columbus citing his age and the winter months, and wanted Lewis to take over for him. In a sermon that was to be the last time that Smith would see Lewis, the late reverend played the piano knowing Smith’s favorite song titled, “I won’t complain” and played that for him.

A week later the popular Lewis was dead and Smith was to take over much sooner than expected. He told Smith leading up to the last day they saw each other, “you’re from here (Smithfield), these are your people and I want them taken care of,” he said of Lewis’s words to him.

Smith also spoke of opportunity as, “It’s an opportunity that we must live and proclaim.” After the march many gathered below in the cafeteria for food and drink and shared their morning experience.

Several who attended remarked the rather large gathering, which was more than they’ve seen in years. And with Smith peppering Dr. King’s drive and impact throughout his speech rounded the day off nicely.

“He is living in total social justice and equality around the throne of God. King made a difference in his day that is still impacting today.”

County receives grant for road work

CADIZ – Harrison County Engineer Doug Bachman announced his presentation of a grant in the amount of $150,000. The money will be used to stripe the road’s center lines. He acknowledged it wasn’t for all county roads but a significant amount of them.

The total cost was $157,000 with the remainder being paid by oil and gas taxes if necessary.

Bachman said the grant was from ODOT but actually administered by the County Engineer’s Association through the Highway Safety

Improvement Program. He said bids are expected to go out between April 1 and June 30.

“Good work getting the grant,” Commissioner Don Bethel told him. The commissioners then approved of the plans Bachman was presenting. He said the grant was accepted a couple months ago.

Bachman also introduced a Road Use Maintenance Agreement (RUMA) involving Homeland Realty “working with” Maysville Timber dealing using four miles of Miller Station Road from Hopedale’s corporation limit to Blue Ridge Road.

Scio announces 2020 committee lineup

Demolition begins on Hopedale East Elementary One would never know, at least for this week, if standing at the front of the now-defunct Hopedale East Elementary school in Hopedale. It’s all intact as of Wednesday but walk around behind and the gutting out has begun. It’s a sad one for the community but something they knew was coming once the school levy passed several years ago. Hopedale is the second of the three schools to be knocked down with only Scio still left standing. That will happen sometime in late spring or early summer perhaps.

Tippecanoe residents complain of sewer bills, unfairness

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

CADIZ – Two residents of Tippecanoe, Roger and Dan Rothacher appeared before the Harrison County Commissioners not so much to complain about the sewer bills themselves but the unfairness in paying when others are not.

“You guys raised our sewer bill

up ten bucks and there’s people down there ain’t paid for twenty years,” Roger told the board.

“How’s that even possible?” He continued by reminding the board he’s made his feelings known for the past year or more and asked how it is justified for them to pay and not others.

When he was told those charges are normally attached to a resident’s taxes Roger said they

don’t pay their taxes.

“Before Doug (Crabtree) passed away he told us that there’s people in Harrison County owed ten years in taxes, why isn’t their property sold?”

He said calling it frustrating and actually apologized for complaining.

Commissioner Dale Norris told him he had a “very valid point,” which Roger followed with the fact that he was told Washington Township officials don’t know where the hookups are in relation to the sewer, “so they don’t even know where to go shut them off.” Norris repeated that the only way to properly address the problem is

attach the fees onto their taxes but Roger asked why it’s been going on for this long.

“I know when we first got the system turned over to us we worked on getting some of those corrected, I’m just not aware of how far we’ve made it so far,” Norris explained. Roger said they are now paying $45 for their sewer where he said New Philadelphia is paying $49 for water, sewer and trash pickup.

His brother Dan confirmed that because he owns property there.

Roger asked how the price of $45 came to be with Norris stating for one, Tippecanoe was the only village system in the county run by the county and

added that a rate evaluation had been done “towards the end of last year.”

“We pay our bills, we pay our taxes, we keep our house nice, keep our property nice and you look across the street and ‘Jesus why ain’t that place sold?” Roger said. Commissioner Don Bethel stated that it had been a “long time” since Tippecanoe has had a rate increase but acknowledged people paying their bills are upset over the ones who are not.

Bethel said they would look into the matter and Norris explained the following day by phone that, though, there are some customers that fall into the

category Roger was complaining about, it wasn’t an enormous amount with one resident that wasn’t even on the county billing list. He said they are working on it now and sorting everything out.

Roger said they have neighbors that haven’t paid and when asked how he knew, he told the board, “they told us.” Roger provided a list of names he was complaining about to add to the information county officials will work on. Norris said he remembered a $13,000 bill when the county first took over Tippecanoe’s system but recalled that that had been taken care of.

Conotton Valley Board of Education hears about vouchers By: JACQUIE HUMPHREY NH Correspondent

Debra K. Yeater presents a plaque of recognition to Allen Carter for his many years of service.

Allen Carter resigns from HMHA Board CADIZ — The Board, Management and Staff of the Harrison Metropolitan Housing Authority would like to take this opportunity to thank Mr. Allen Carter for his service on the Harrison Metropolitan Housing Authority Board. Mr. Carter assumed his appointment on Feb. 12, 2012 and has officially resigned as of Dec. 31, 2019.

Mr. Carter has tirelessly given his time and resources to Harrison MHA and by all measures, and the HMHA says they have improved their

services immensely on his watch.

Board service is one of the toughest volunteer roles of all, and Mr. Carter performed with loyalty, dedication, and commitment.

Mr. Carter distinguished himself as a judicious steward of the organization and never flinched in the face of difficult decisions. A famous activist once said, “Wisdom is knowing what to do next; virtue is doing it.” Mr. Carter proved to be both wise and virtuous.

Leesville - At the January meeting of the Conotton Valley Board of Education, Superintendent Todd Herman explained to the Board Ohio legislature amendments recently made which would greatly increase the number of availability of vouchers for students to attend private or parochial schools at the public tax expense.

Herman reported that if it should pass, public schools would be required to pay $6,000 to a private or parochial school, should a student choose to attend instead of a public school, an amount greater than public schools receive per student.

Herman reasoned that he is against this legislation for many reason, one being that “private schools are not (held) accountable” as are public schools, nor are they required to accept all students and could

“retain their selective admission policies”.

Herman asked the Board to support the Resolution opposing HB166, and it was passed unanimously.

In other business, the first reading for the 2020-21 school year calendar was presented.

Herman explained the adjustments in the calendar to accommodate construction of the Rocket Center.

Board President Chris Bower inquired as to why there was so much time between the last day of school and graduation, which would be in the midst of linking the new building with the old.

Herman said that he had left graduation on the traditional date but was open to suggestions. The board discussed and agreed to move the 2021 graduation to Sunday, May 2.

Other Action: - Approved expenditures totaling $1,153,151.69. Heard fund balances reported of $1,121,164.78 in Unified Bank and $1,647,520.96 in Star

Ohio. The balance of the Star Construction Fund was reported at $5,055,077.19 and the balance in the US Bank at $17,115,135.01.

- Approved donations as follows: both a $30 and $200 donation from anonymous donors to Share a Christmas, a donation of $102.71 in products and services from Gooding’s Nursery and a donation of $150.00 from B&B Carryout for cafeteria lunch fees.

- Approved Jacob White as a volunteer varsity baseball coach for the current school year, pending completion of all state and local requirements.

Lakeland increases financial health, takes on sponsorship

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

FREEPORT – In what had been lingering around the double digits to 100-plus day mark for years, the Lakeland Academy school announced at last Monday’s meeting that their “days out” cash, meaning days they can stay in operation without any further income had jumped to a whopping 325.

Superintendent Scott Bardall later explained that changing fiscal agents and spending less money on fees than they had in

the past was the reason.

Lakeland Academy will also have a new sponsor, which will begin in July of this year. The new sponsor is Lake Erie West ESC. Also, Superintendent Bardall said that Lakeland was spared any of Ohio Department of Education’s academic watch lists, which is significant because other area schools in comparison did.

Bardall said that the school has now initiated a morning “latchkey” program, which begins at 7:30 a.m. each day. He said more than half of the

students have already participated in the morning program.

“Healthy breakfast items are served,” he stated. Lakeland has also initiated an after school program, which runs on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 3:00-5:00 p.m.

“The emphasis is academic and over 20% of our students are regularly participating,” Bardall explained.

Another program starting is the “Healthy Friday lunches” where students are being provided healthy lunches by local helpers and contributors.

He said all of their students are participating in this program.

Also, Lakeland has added two paraprofessional aides to the staff in Tena Stine and Jenn Bardall. Lakeland is also accepting any new student applications with 12 new students already added this year.

Applications for the kindergarten screening process are being accepted as well. Please call Jenn at 1-740-658-1042, anytime.

“We are doing great things here and we want the word out…” Bardall said this week.

Defendant has new counsel, case rescheduled

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

CADIZ – The case of Alexander Bacon, facing a simple breaking and entering charge, felony of the fifth degree, isn’t so much the problem as much as it is finding an attorney that will listen to him. Apparently he’s found one in Steven A. Stickles, who was assigned to Bacon after the defendant requested a change when he and Public Defender C. Adrian Pincola couldn’t see eye to eye.

Bacon was seen in court before proceedings began Tuesday arguing with a family member refusing to plead guilty to something he didn’t do. It was

www.lu495.com Click on Apprenticeship Opportunities

almost the same scene in a previous appearance but it was Pincola who took the wrath last time. Once proceedings began not a word was heard from Bacon, which wasn’t the case the last time he appeared before Judge T. Shawn Hervey who had to admonish him for his language used towards Pincola prior to those proceedings late last year.

Hervey announced that a competency evaluation Bacon undertook through the District 9 Forensic Diagnostic Center, resulted in Bacon being competent to stand trial. The trial schedule, which was put on hold because of the evaluation, will now be reset with a pre-trial conference scheduled in the

next 30 to 45 days and a trial date to follow.

Last week Keturah Krankovich had an evidentiary hearing in response to a motion to revoke her Community Based Control sanctions. Krankovich pleaded to falsification last year after facing several charges including insurance fraud. This time she was facing a charge of aggravated menacing after police showed up on her Jewett property after she reported that a water pump had been stolen and accused her brother of doing it.

The police discovered she had allegedly threatened the life of her mother and brother and attempted to arrest her and accusing her of resisting. She denied those charges and a

witness, Richard Olivito testified on her behalf stating he’d heard the phone conversation that Krankovich had with her mother and said he’d heard of no threat made.

Judge Hervey, in the end found her guilty and sentenced her to 15 days with credit for time served. He dismissed the charge of resisting arrest.

Leander Brooks, facing an aggravated burglary charge and felony of the first degree is slated to return to court on Feb. 25.

Also, Ty Stinespring’s case was rescheduled for Feb. 10 at 11 a.m. According to a court official one or both defendants including her brother Ron did not receive all the discovery items requested.

County Home staff receives mandatory training By: ED BANKS NH Staff Writer

CADIZ - With the arrival of each new year there comes some essential business practices that each company must address.

Those practices may include new operational goals, additional or revised policies and procedures, or even the following of some new regulatory requirements.

Though there may be many other practices a company may introduce, none would be beneficial without the implementation of a good

employee training program.

Annual training may come in the form of new ideas and subjects, while there is that training that is presented as a refresher. On Friday the managers of the Harrison County Home presented annual training to the employees. The training was mandatory and included some learning assessment questions at the end of each unit. The training units that were presented and reviewed on Friday included fire safety and evacuation, handling and the disposal of potentially hazardous wastes and safe lifting procedures. This year there was

an adjustment in the training process that made the units interesting and easier to absorb.

For the employees of the County Home that change came in the form of an automated system that produced both a visual and narrated description of the units. The training change and overall process was welcomed and received with good review.

“Facility Medical Coordinator Brittany Hercules and I have been working on these training units for about a little over three months,” said Human Resources Coordinator Cindy Elliott. “Once we decided what

should be included as part of the training and how to present the subjects, we began putting it all together. Some of the materials were completed at home in the evenings or on the weekends.

My family even got involved, and my daughter Kaylee did all of the Narrating. Brittany and I are just happy that the final product turned out as well as it did, Elliott added.”

The County Home will be presenting other training sessions over the next couple of months, and other mandatory subjects will be reviewed.

SCIO

From PG | 1 some of the committee appointments when Turner brought up the fact that two new council members, Kress and Salsberry were appointed to the Land & Business committee, which in parenthesis includes the words “Annex,” and “new business development.”

He suggested that it might not be a good idea to have two council members on that committee who are not familiar with that area of concern.

“I kind of don’t think it’s a wise idea to have two new council members sitting on land and business when we’re in the process of negotiation…not fully aware of,” he stated. He then volunteered to sit on the committee, which Carpenter agreed to adjust for, which she then replaced Kress with Turner.

When Davy said if there was anyone else to replace Carpenter said that was enough leaving newcomer Salsberry in place.

Turner continued basically stating that it would be a different situation if they were all aware of the situation but that it was up to the mayor’s discretion but Carpenter left the adjustment

stand.

After the meeting Turner was asked exactly what negotiations he meant but provided nothing specific. When asked if it had anything to do with the power plant he said, “maybe.” Just as an update Williams Energy, who bought out UEO Midstream, has made no overtures towards any financial promises for the village as UEO had in the past, according to Scio officials who have said that there has been no movement at all in that area.

Also discussed were various flags to be flown in the village. Turner relayed some pricing information he’d obtained stating that three flags, the state of Ohio, American flag and a POW flag would cost $346. He said minus the POW flag the price would be lowered by $70.

Turner said 4x6 and 3x5 flags were priced, which is where the $346 came from. He said the 3x5 flags were the good, outdoor types.

What wasn’t included in the pricing was the mounting hardware and bolts for two of the three flags he told council. Turner, when asked, thought it would be a good idea to display a service flag as well.

After a little more discussion council approved the third flag for the extra cost.

SMITHFIELD – Some years back a group of concerned former and present residents of Smithfield formed a group called Friends of Smithfield, going by FOS many times. Some of these members live in Cleveland, Kirtland and Canton but return on the third week of the third month because they love the village they were raised within.

Over the years, they looked into cemetery neglect, tried to push for repairs on a wall that curves along state Route 151, kept an area at the Friends Church Cemetery clean, decorated at holiday occasions, worked with the Smithfield Council, held a giant yard and food sale at the old Catholic Church parking lot and held many pasta dinners to earn needed funds. The members brought in an interesting speaker from Flushing on the Underground Railroad, a speaker who brought bones from those in native lands and America to show how what is eaten determines what happens to their bones and an author who once lived in Brilliant and is now a noted writer who has earned star awards, Robin Yocum.

The group met on Jan. 18 on a weather-compromised day to organize and re-organize the corporation so more effective work with Smithfield Township can be accomplished for the near and longterm.

Officers for the 2020 fiscal year were elected and are: Chuck Fluharty, president; Linda Kovach and John Borkowski, vice presidents; Cindy Straus, secretary;

and Evelyn Clouston, treasurer. It was determined there should be several specified committees to deal with various issues to be handled jointly with the township.

The heads of the committees were elected to be the directors and compromised of the following individuals, Fluharty, Kovach, Borkowski, Straus, Clouston, Don Roe, George Harrah, Linda Helt and Paul Greene.

The board of directors will meet the first Tuesday of each month beginning Feb. 3. Quarterly meeting dates and locations for the membership will be determined by the board meeting on Feb. 4. The FOS has reorganized to face challenges ahead and will be working in cooperation with the Smithfield Township for the betterment at large. FOS doesn’t see its role as being limited by the dissolution of the village but has expanded to work with the Smithfield Township. “When we are found with a crisis, we must take advantage of it and that is what we intend to do,” Fluharty said.

Remember if you dislike someone, dislike them alone.

Do not recruit others to join your cause. Never assume that loud is strong and quiet is weak. A beautiful face will age and a perfect body will change, but a beautiful soul will always be a beautiful soul.

Remember that winter is the time for comfort, for good food and warmth. May your week be filled with good thoughts, kind people and happy moments.

Take care and God Bless.

By Ruby Foutz It is always good to see others helping others; a big thank you to MarkWest for his donation of Christmas gifts to the Harrison County Home residents.

Thank you to Sanders Market, Cadiz for their weekly donation of foods and supplies. How wonderful is that?

Watch out for scams especially if it is too good to be true. The latest scam according to the Sheriff's office is using a big name company and informs the person if they advertise for the company (sign on vehicle) they will receive payment. They send a fake check written higher than promised amount and the victim will be instructed to deposit the check and send the difference back, the check returns as fraudulent and the victim is left responsible for the money they transferred and they have your bank account number on the check.

Beware!

Congratulations to Thomas McAfee, Jr. & Shelley Lucille Kerwood on their marriage application.

Welcome Dr. Rajai Khoury at the Wheeling Hospital. His practice includes Vascular medicine and surgery.

Happy Birthday wishes and many more to Sue Adams, Carolyn Smith Voich, Marjorie Dowdle Wrisk, Richard "Butch" Everhart, Veronica Velesko Cargo, Virginia Wenner Miller, Toni Rippeth, David Bailey, and Carmen Pizzino.

Happpy Anniversary and God bless you to Richard & Joann Zimmerman Geiser and Jerry and Toni Rippeth.

Prayers and deepest sympathy to the families of Charles R. Pincola 76-Cadiz; Rose Mary Prince 75-Scio; Robert "Bob" A. Adams 92-Cadiz; and our dear friend Herbert L. "Joe" Taggart 91-Scio. Joe was a super nice guy. He enjoyed music and a group of us would all go square dancing together.

He danced until the music stopped, so he's probably dancing in heaven. He had a kind heart, was a humble man, loved his children and the farm he lived on. Mention a family name and he was all smiles.

We will miss talking with you Joe. RIP buddy.

All 'bout Christ would like to leave you with this scripture Paul wrote, "We are (not) competent in ourselves to claim anything for ourselves, but our competence comes from God." Read 2 Corinthians 3:1-5. Love & prayers, Rev. Dr. Ruby Foutz 740 946-2925.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR 21 to Purchase Tobacco or Vaping Products: The Harrison County Substance Abuse Prevention Coalition Supports that Decision In a victory for public health, the federal government raised the legal age to purchase tobacco or vaping products to 21 throughout the U.S. President Donald Trump signed the new age-of-sale provisions into law on Dec 20, 2019.

“It is now illegal for a retailer to sell any tobacco product — including cigarettes, cigars and ecigarettes — to anyone under 21,” the FDA announced acting on the President’s order.

The Harrison County Substance Abuse Prevention Coalition strongly supports the decision to require that persons

must be at least 21 years of age to purchase tobacco and vaping products.

By raising the age to buy tobacco products, the federal government is replicating what a number of states have been doing. Nineteen states, including Ohio earlier in 2019, raised the minimum age to buy tobacco to 21. The new legal age is an attempt to avert another public health crisis resulting from young people’s addiction to tobacco products.

A 2015 report from the National Academies of Science

found that raising the smoking age to 21 could prevent approximately 223,000 premature deaths among Americans born between 2000 and 2019. The report also shows that almost all adults who smoke daily first tried a cigarette before age 19. And the younger people are when they first try tobacco, the stronger their addiction may be and the more they may smoke as adults.

The new law also comes at a time when public health professionals are alarmed at the rise of e-cigarettes and vaping among teens. Cigarette use among this group had been steadily falling for years, but that trend has reversed itself since the introduction of vaping products.

The Harrison County

Substance Abuse Prevention Coalition is comprised of citizens, treatment professionals, agency leaders, and others who are committed to helping end the abuse of legal and illegal drugs by Harrison County residents. The coalition meets one time per month to develop collaborative plans and advocacy to end substance abuse among youth and adults, including senior citizens, females of childbearing years, and individuals who previously have overdosed.

Huskies split with Jets and Bruins the second half to lead a second half comeback charge. With under two minutes to play in the contest, Capers connected on a triple from beyond the arc that cut the Jets lead to 50-47. Two possessions later, Jonathan Vermillion pocketed three points the old fashioned way, as he was fouled on a put-back under the bucket. After draining the free throw, the Huskies trailed by just two at 5250. But from the there on out, the scoring spigot dried up on the Huskies. Union Local made the all-important free throws down the stretch and dropped the Huskies to an even 4-4 in Buckeye Eight South Divisional play.

The border-rivalry matchup came with both teams trending in opposite directions. The Jets picked up their eighth straight with the win, but the Huskies defeat marked their sixth setback in the past eight outings. Union Local’s midseason surge has played them right into the thick of the OVAC Class 3A Championship race. At 9-5, they currently hold down the second place spot in the

CADIZ – The Harrison Central Boys basketball team is set for a long midseason break. After splitting a pair of games last weekend, the Huskies will settle into the uncharacteristic long layoff with an even record of 7-7.

Union Local squared the season series with Harrison last Friday night Morristown, fighting off a late game push from the Huskies to win 56-50. The Huskies struggled out of the gate, falling behind double digits before the first quarter ended. If trailing by ten wasn’t enough after the opening eight minutes, they went on to get doubled up before halftime, trailing 35-17 heading into the locker rooms.

A developing trend as of late, the Huskies sputter through a rough start only to find their groove in the second half. Senior Cruz Capers, who finished with an individual season-high of 18points, poured in 11 of those in

standings.

For one of the first times this season, the Huskies put three players into double digits in the scorebook. In addition to Capers’ efforts, Vermillion had a strong night in the paint finishing with 15-marks. Junior Kobe Mitchell contributed ten, while Sam Santille (4) and Skylar Mazeroski (3) rounded out the scoring.

The Jets were led by a trio of players that finished with 14points each. Nathan Meyer, Luke Merritt, and Zach Bateman combined to take team-high recognition. A fourth player for the Jets in Hunter McCort, finished with ten-points.

The Huskies were able to quickly shake off the setback to the Jets, as the very next evening the Brooke Bruins visited Harrison County.

Having already met earlier this season, a contest that Harrison dominated start to finish for a 5941 victory, the Bruins visited with their eyes on an equalizer.

The first two quarters were competitive, as the Bruins led 2015 after the first eight minutes. The

Huskies would then overcome the two possession deficit and take a 38-33 lead before the halftime intermission. The home squad would go on to open up a comfortable double digit lead before closing out the game on top at 70-63.

Mitchell and Vermillion were the coal that fed the furnace in the Huskies seventh victory of the season. Mitchell kept the scorekeepers busy, tickling the twine for a surprisingly quiet 37points. Vermillion again made his presence known down low, making a living on the post and the free throw line to finish with 19 on the night. Mitchell’s showing marked the seventh time this season that he eclipsed the 30-point mark in a game. Vermillion’s performance was good enough for an individual season-high. Wrapping up the score sheet with the Bruins, senior Cale McAfee contributed five points, Santille (4), Mazeroski (3) and Capers (2).

The Huskies aren’t scheduled to take the floor again until Jan. 30 at home against Buckeye Local.

Jr. high boys’ basketball split with Potters bump and jive. The upside to the quarter saw the Huskies overtake the visitors and close the quarter up by a point and a score of 23 - 22.

Remaining dominant throughout the final period the Huskies stayed strong on the boards and accurate in shooting to get their revenge on the Potters by a score of 34 - 29.

The eighth grade Huskies suffered the lack of offense during the first quarter, just as the seventh grade team did.

They would fall behind by 7 points and a score of 20 - 13 (EL). A little inside game with some long range bombing put the team back in business enough to be down by 5 at the halfway point (34 - 29). A difference of 2 points at the end of three and a score of 43 - 41 had the contest looking like a possible photo finish.

Ten points by the Huskies and 14 by Liverpool represented the final frame; as the visitors went on to pocket the win by a score of 57 - 51.

CADIZ - If you had the opportunity to see the junior high boys basketball teams in action against visiting East Liverpool on Monday night, you got to see a couple of good basketball games.

The seventh grade team was primed and ready to get a little revenge against the visitors, as a recent visit to Potter land didn’t go very well. When the contest opened a smell of déjà vu began to fill the Huskies’ gymnasium and the Huskies had to settle for a 6 point deficit (8 - 2) following the first quarter. A little tooling by the Huskies saw them climb back into the contest by the half.

Harrison would add 9 points to their effort, while Liverpool added 8.

The teams would rest at the break by a score of 16 to 11 (EL). Things got interesting during the third quarter, as physicality raised its head, and both teams experienced a little
