DELPHOS The city has received yet

another notice from the Ohio Environmental
Protection Agency for a violation concerning
the wastewater treatment plant.
According to Mayor Michael Gallmeier,
the missive was received on Monday.
We still have fouling plates and the
EPA says they may put us on findings and
orders, Gallmeier told council Monday evening. They have been working closely with
us on the upgrades to the facility and they
know what we are doing but they still have to
do their job.
Gallmeier said with the upgrades near
completion and the new technology coming
online in the coming weeks, the problem
should be resolved.
Safety Service Director Shane Coleman
reported the retrofit at the plant is close to
completion with the new membranes assembled and installed.

BBB warns of holiday scams

Information Submitted
COLUMBUS Santa isnt the only

one keeping track of who is naughty and
who is nice! December is officially here,
and Better Business Bureau is warning
consumers to beware of these common
holiday scams:
Look-alike websites: When shopping online, make sure to use only
legitimate websites. Watch out for URLs
that use the names of well-known brands
along with extra words.
Fake shipping notifications: These
can have attachments or links to sites
that will download malware on your
computer to steal your identity and your
passwords. Dont be fooled by a holiday
phishing scam.
E-cards: Electronic cards can be
great fun, but be careful. Two red flags
to watch out for are: the senders name
is not apparent; you are required to share
additional information to get the card.
Letters from Santa: Several trusted

companies offer charming and personalized letters from Santa, but scammers
mimic them to get personal information
from unsuspecting parents. Check with
bbb.org to find out which ones are legitimate.
Grandparents scam: Seniors should
be cautious if they get a call from a
grandchild claiming to be in an accident,
arrested or hospitalized while traveling
in another country. Never send money
unless you confirm with another family
member that its true.
Phony charities: Everyone is in a
generous mood at the holidays, so scammers take advantage of that with fake
charity solicitations in email, on social
media sites, and even by text. Check out
charities at give.org before donating.
Temporary holiday jobs: Retailers
and delivery services need extra help
at the holidays, but beware of solicitations that require you to share personal
information online or pay for a job lead.

Apply in person or go to retailers main
websites to find out who is hiring.
Unusual forms of payment: Be
wary of anyone who asks you to pay for
holiday purchases using prepaid debit
cards, gift cards, wire transfers, third
parties, etc. These payments cannot be
traced and cannot be undone. Use a
credit card on a secure website; look for
https in the address (the extra s is for
secure) and the lock symbol.
Free gift cards: Pop-up ads or email
offering free gift cards are often just a
ploy to get your personal information
that can later be used for identity theft.
Social media gift exchange: It
sounds like a great deal; buy one gift and
get 36 in return. But its just a variation
on a pyramid scheme and its illegal.
To learn about scams or to report one,
go to BBB Scam Tracker.
For more information, follow us on
Facebook, Twitter, or at bbb.org.
ODH reminds parents about toy safety
Information submitted
COLUMBUS The holidays are an exciting time of year
for kids and parents and to help ensure that everyone has a
safe and happy holiday season, the Ohio Department of Health
(ODH), wants to remind parents to keep safety in mind when
choosing toys for young children when out holiday shopping.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission estimates
that more than 250,000 children are treated in hospital emergency rooms for toy-related injuries each year.
Parents and others will purchase toys this holiday season
for children, said ODH Director Rick Hodges. By reading
labels and being safety conscious, they can help prevent
toy-related injuries and even death.
The following tips will help parents and others choose
appropriate toys for children this holiday season:
Select toys to suit the age, abilities, skills, and interest

level of the intended child.
Be a toy label reader. Look for labels that give age recommendations.
For infants and toddlers, avoid toys with small parts.
For children under age eight, avoid toys that have sharp
edges and points.
Do not purchase electric toys with heating elements for
children under age eight.
Check toy instructions for clarity.
Discard plastic wrapping on toys immediately the wrapping can cause suffocation.
Charging batteries should be supervised by adults.
Chargers and adapters can pose thermal burn hazards to young
children.

The programmer will be back in this coming Monday

and next week is what we call the point of no return,
Coleman said. Well be draining down the air and anoxic tanks and theyll be making cuts in the concrete for the
system. We hope to bring that online on Dec. 21 and start the
pilot test.
Coleman invited councilmen and the public to call him and
schedule a tour at the plant.
This will be a great project when its completed, he
added. Residents shouldnt notice anything with the service.
Coleman also noted that BUNGE will be installing a new
gas-powered boiler and traffic may be disrupted on Thursday
in the area of Jefferson High School, State Street and Bank
Street. On Friday, Clay street will be closed between First and
Cleveland streets for the project.
The season pool ticket sales on Friday went very well,
according to Coleman.
We sold 106 single and 40 family passes, he said. The
response was overwhelmingly positive and the early sale was
very well received.
Coleman added that several people had mentioned they
were hesitant to buy tickets for the 2016 season because of last
summers cooler temperatures and the reduced days swimming
was possible but had purchased them Friday because it was
such a good value.
Thoroughfares Committee Chair Del Kemper reported on
the committee meeting prior to the regular council meeting.
Members met to discuss eliminating and/or reconfiguring
parking on several streets.
We are looking at getting rid of parking on the south side
of Fourth Street between Washington and Franklin streets
and the north side of First Street between Bredeick and State
streets, Kemper said. We would also like to see parallel
parking in front of St. Johns Church and get rid a few of the
spaces near the intersection of East First and Second streets.
Kemper said more conversation would come before any
decisions were made.
In old business, Councilman Mark Clement asked about the
status of several of the buildings on downtown Main Street that
had shown structural distress.
We havent heard from the owners and we are looking
at taking the next step by having Fire Chief Kevin Streets go
through the buildings and see if they are safe or not, Coleman
said.
Council reviewed a request for a water/sewer adjustment
from First Assembly of God for its parsonage. The request
had been tabled at the last council meeting. The parsonage has
been empty since Aug. 23 and church officials were unsure of
why the water bill was so high. Upon further investigation,
officials found that a water-powered sump pump may have
been the culprit. Council passed the request with a 4-3 vote.
Councilman Josh Gillespie noted his no vote on all requests
brought before council saying his didnt want to be part of
setting a precedent.
Almost all of the requests weve seen are homeowner
problems and I feel they should have been taken care of by the
homeowner, Gillespie said.
Mayor Gallmeier interjected that if the city can move to
monthly meter reading, the number and monetary size of
requests would significantly shrink.
Councilman are not required to approve water/sewer adjustments but have historically.
Council heard on first reading adjustments to the 2015
Appropriations to bring accounts in line to actual spending
and revenue. Auditor Tom Jettinghoff noted that most of the
adjustments were due to unexpected income.
Passed on third reading was setting Council Clerk Marsha
Muellers salary at $3,800 a year.

Junior Fair Board sets steer weigh-in
From the Vantage Point
VAN WERT The Van
Wert County Junior Fair
Board has set the date and
time for the 2015 show
steer, performance steer
and dairy steer weigh-in.
Participants should have
their animals at the Van Wert
County Fairgrounds Saturday
between 8-10 a.m. Jan. 2 at
the Junior Fair Beef Barn.
Animals not in line to
be weighed at the end of
the time may be disqualified from participation in the
2016 Van Wert County Jr.
Fair. Exhibitors may allow
someone else to weigh in
their animals for them if they
are unable to be present for

the weigh in.
Exhibitors should plan to
come in the gate next to the

through gate 4 (livestock gate
during fair) to help with the
flow of traffic. Be prepared to
wait as the process takes a bit
longer than the other weighins, but feel free to come in
and help with other exhibitors and the Jr. Fair Board to
help ensure the process goes
as quickly as possible.
Please help us to inform
others that may be taking

Another part II
Call this another
Jim Metcalfe
Part 2.
Last week, I
wrote about the saga
of Johnny Johnny
Football Manziel
and his travails
with the Cleveland
Browns.
I had hoped that I
wouldnt have to go further with it and apparently, it ended up
in a 2-game suspension.
I will not guess as to the thinking of Browns head coach
Mike Pettine and the brain trust for owner Jimmy Haslam.
I know he could not have been ecstatic after Sundays blowout loss at home versus the Cincinnati Bengals.
Believe me, I dont think Mr. Haslam, Mr. Pettine and all
the others running that organization WANT this teams to fall
apart and disappoint those long, long, LONG-suffering fans
on Lake Erie.
Who knows what changes are in store again for the
Browns as another disappointing and bitter season comes to
an end, whether it be a new head coach and staff or certain
players are gone.
The last thing I was thinking about when I wrote that column and it was in the back of my mind but I didnt WANT
to admit it! was that should the Browns release Johnny
Football, the @&!*!*! Dallas Cowboys expressed ANY interest in picking him up.
I referred to Mr. Jerry Jones and the dubious dealings
and utter miserable failings he has had when picking up
others castoffs for whatever reason.
This is not the era of the Oakland Raiders and maverick
and remember, James Bret Maverick Garner was a big
Rrrraaaiiiddddeeeerrrr fan! owner Al Davis, who made
a living and won a couple of Super Bowls under John
Madden and Tom Flores with that approach.
And throw in the utter failures of his drafts, like in actually
finding a quarterback that can stick around for more than a
year or two.
I do sometimes wonder if Jerry Jones truly cares about the
Dallas Cowboys or is the team and its fans just another item
in his arsenal?
After all, the one thing person that is the same around
that organization since their last Super Bowl win (and the stellar Jimmy Johnson era until this person could no longer share
the plentiful glory to go around) is one Jerry Jones.
He has sole responsibility I know his two sons, Stephen
and Jerry Jr., are involved as executive vice presidents in
Player Personnel and Marketing, respectively, but who knows
what juice they have as far as the product on the field for
the debacle of the last 20 years.
When they were in eight Super Bowls in the franchises
first 35 years actually, since the first SB was in 1967, that is
28 years of its history and none since, that is inconceivable
for one of the NFLs most popular and most hated and
lucrative franchises.
To me, if you cared, you would have the humility to look at
the record under your stewardship and see it taint working and
get someone in there who knows what they are doing!
Its been done before. I refer to one Mike Brown who
finally had to take a step back if he cared about the Bengals
and he did.
The thing is, he continues to laugh all the way to the bank
with a billion-dollar stadium and a franchise valued at $4
billion.
I guess you dont need humility with those greenbacks.
Oh well.

Roughriders stymie Lady Jays

DELPHOS St. Marys Memorial
outscored St. Johns 18-12 in the fourth
period Tuesday night to escape Robert
A. Arnzen Gymnasium with a 44-41
non-league girls basketball conquest.
The host Lady Blue Jays (2-2) won
the made field-goal battle 18-12 but lost
badly at the foul line 19-2.
We didnt get to the foul line and St.
Marys did. They were more aggressive
than we were, St. Johns mentor Dan
J. Grothouse explained. We had some
things we knew we needed to do and
didnt, like rebound and not let them
cut in front of us inside. We need to be
confident when we are on offense but
whether its that, simply being tentative
or what, we werent. We cant just rely
on the 3-point shot all the time in our
offense but have to learn to attack the
basket; I take responsibility for us not
doing those things.
The Jays took a 29-26 lead into
the fourth period and Betty Vorst hit
1-of-2 foul shots shortly into it the
hosts first of the night for a 30-26
edge. Back came the Lady Roughriders
(3-2) behind their inside duo of the 5-9
Shania Taylor (18 markers, 15 boards)
and the 6-0 Erika Angstmann (11 counters, 4 rebounds). Taylor scored seven
straight for the visitors to give them a
34-33 edge on the first-of-2 singles at
3:26. Lexi Hays (7 counters, 4 caroms)
gave the lead back to the hosts on a
17-footer from the right wing at 2:52.
Lincolnview grabs ugly win

against Lady Commodores
Lincolnview freshman Lakin Brant (32) faces a double team from Perrys Shanda Cowan (30) and Lyrick
Simpson (52) during a girls basketball game in Lima on

victory at Lima Perry was
about as ugly as they come.
sports@timesbulletin.com
The Lady Lancers shot just
31 percent from the floor and
LIMA A win is a win, committed 18 personal fouls
no matter how ugly, but and 23 turnovers but defeatTuesday nights Lincolnview ed the Lady Commodores
44-29.
The margin was a comfortable one in part because
Perry went just 3-for-21 from
the free throw line. Had Perry
shot even 50 percent from
the stripe, the fourth quarter
would have had significantly
more drama.
They dont grade you on
pretty wins or ugly losses,
its just wins and losses,
Lincolnview head coach Dan
Williamson said. Well take
all the ugly wins we can get.
With our youth, well have
a lot of ugly games; its just
something we have got to
grow out of. It will happen,
Im just not sure when.
While the Lancers struggled as a team, sophomore
Alena Looser and junior
Katlyn Wendel each stepped
up with big offensive efforts
for Lincolnview (3-1). The
duo shot a combined 9-for20 from the field, including
4-for-7 from 3-point range
(all by Looser). Looser
scored a game-high 15 points
while Wendel finished with
11 points and 10 rebounds.

Grigsby, Bearcats top Van Wert

BY JIM COX

SPENCERVILLE - Both Spencerville and
Van Wert came into Tuesday nights game
looking for their first win.
Senior sharpshooter Jacey Grigsby made
sure it was the Lady Bearcats who got it, a
44-28 victory that was close only for the first
half.
Spencerville is now 1-4. Van Wert is 0-4.

Van Wert started the game with a 5-0 run,
but Grigsby single-handedly got the home
team within one, 12-11, at the end of the first
quarter. Grigsby had all 11 of those Bearcat
points. Ally Jackson had 7 points, including
two 3-pointers, for the Cougars, but she didnt
score again in the game.
See BEARCATS, page 8
Angstmann who hit 9-of-10 freebies

in the game hit a pair at 2:41 to give
the guests the lead for good. Down the
stretch, St. Marys canned 6-of-9 at the
stripe (10-of-14 in the period; 19-of-29
for the game for 65.5%) to salt it away
and survived a last-gasp 3 from the right
corner by the Jays.
We have some good post-up players, like E (Erika), Shania and Quincy
(Rable); they cut well inside and find
each other, St. Marys coach Nikki
Miars said. We have guards that can
stick the outside jumper when called
upon. I liked the shots we were getting
offensively.
From the start, both teams flexed
their defensive msucles in man-to-man
schemes that lasted virtually the entire
game but both offenses were getting
shots almost every time down (St.
Marys had 12 miscues and the Jays 5).
St. Marys was 1-of-9 from the field in
the canto (12-of-36 overall, 1-of-10 long
range, for 33.3%) but made up for it as
they got to the line 10 times in the span
hitting seven as Angstmann was
6-of-6. The Jays canned 5-of-14 from
the floor (18-of-53 for the night, 3-of-20
downtown, for 34.0%) as they led 10-7
on a curl to the basket by Vorst at 13
ticks. Angstmann made it 10-9 with 3.0
ticks on a pair of tosses.
The defenses really took over in the
second stanza as the units combined for
6-of-22 shooting the Jays were particularly cold at 2-of-13 (2-of-7 triples).

Jays get 1st W of season

BY LARRY HEIING
DHI Media Correspondent
news@delphosherald.com
DELPHOS The scenery at The
Vatican was different as Delphos St. Johns
hosted Elida in their home opener with new
scoreboards and updated state championship
banners.
The lineup on the floor was also brand
new for Coach Aaron Elwer as he welcomed
five new starters that replaced five graduated
seniors from last seasons regional runner-up
team.
One thing that didnt change from last
year was the Blue Jays getting a victory over
their next-door neighbors as they defeated the
Bulldogs 51-42.
This season offers a different kind of challenge for our coaching staff, Elwer commented. In my nine seasons here at St. Johns, this
is the first time that our team doesnt have at
least one returning starter from the previous
season. So its both unique and different along
with it being exciting at the same time for me
as a coach.
Owen Rode scored the first point of the
home season for the Jays on a drive for the
early lead. After an Elida miss, Ryan Hellman
followed with a drive on his own as the Blue
Jays combined offensive and defensive intensity to start the game. The Bulldogs got on the
board with a steal by Josh Press for the coastto-coast layin followed by a score by Baylen
Stinson on the inbounds play. The Jays ended
the first quarter with a nice turnaround by
senior Jesse Ditto for a 12-8 advantage.
It started to rain 3s in the second stanza as
Press and Isaac McAdams hit for the Bulldogs
and Robby Saine connected for his fourth triple of the quarter to beat the halftime buzzer
and giving the Blue Jays a 26-19 lead.
Elida cut the deficit to two to open the second half as Stinson scored five straight points.
We challenged our kids at halftime to
increase their intensity on defense and to shut

down the 3-pointers by St. Johns, explained
Bulldog coach Denny Thompson.
Elidas defensive pressure held the Jays
scoreless until Ditto broke the ice with a pair
of free throws at the 4:22 mark. St. Johns
moved the lead back to half a dozen on
beautiful pass by Jared Wurst to Ditto for the
layup. The Bulldogs forced the fifth Blue Jay
turnover of the third with a steal by Press and
basket, pulling his team within 30-27 with
2:10 remaining. Hellman scored under the
rim and Saine sank a pair of free throws in the
double-bonus, pushing the advantage back to
seven as the quarter ended.
St. Johns continued to display great ball
movement as Hellman found Tim Kreeger in
the lane for two to start the final quarter. Elida
wasnt ready to go home yet with a bucket
by Press and a Skyler Smith triple from the
corner. After Kreeger and Saine scored for the
Jays, the Bulldogs made one final charge with
a 10-foot jumper by Smith and back-to-back
baseline drives by Stinson and Press as Elida
trailed 46-39. Thats as close as Elida would
get as St. Johns was effective from the foul
line to seal the victory.
Our guys came out on our home floor and
battled to victory, continued Elwer. It was
perfect and the kids know it and its my job
to coach them to victory. This is likely one of
the most satisfying wins for me considering
whats happened in the off-season.
Coach Thompson was equally proud of
his team: Im proud of our effort tonight as
the team worked hard to get the open shot.
We just couldnt get the reward in the end as
the shots wouldnt fall and we had too many
self-inflicted turnovers.
Elida (0-4) shot 40 percent from 2-point
land and landed 25 percent from beyond the
arc. They were 6-of-9 (67%) from the foul
line. Leading the orange and black was Press
with 18 points and Stinson scored 17.

Aelker, Roberson D3 regional picks

Information Submitted
BLUFFTON For the
first time since 1999, the
Bluffton University football
team has two all-region selections in senior Ryan Aelker
(New Bavaria/Holgate) and
sophomore Micah Roberson
(Ada).
Aelker is the first 2-time
D3football.com All-North
Region honoree since Justin
Crosier in 2010-11.
After earning second team
recognition as a junior, Aelker
became the only first-team
selection from Bluffton in the
11 years that D3football.com
has recognized All-Region
players.
As a first-team honoree,
Aelker is now eligible for
All-American honors which
will be announced Dec. 18 at
the Stagg Bowl in Salem, Va.
Roberson capped off
his second season by being
named Third Team All-North
Region by D3football.com.
The teams, selected in balloting by North Region sports
information directors and
D3football.com staff, were
chosen from 228 nominations by Division III member
schools. A total of 76 players
were chosen.
With all eyes on him and
with 10 offensive coordinators scheming to keep Aelker
away from the ball, all the
senior did was go out and lead
the nation in sacks for the
second straight season while
adding the most tackles-forloss in NCAA Division III
to his resume. His school
record 13 sacks from 2014
stood for just one season as
Aelker dropped opposing
quarterbacks for an NCAAbest 15.5 sacks this season.
He broke his school record of
22 TFLs with 24 TFLs as a

senior, giving him the top two
single-season marks in both
sacks and TFLs at Bluffton.
Aelker led the conference
with three forced fumbles in
addition to topping the conference leaderboard in sacks
and TFLs. His 60 tackles
were second for the Beavers
and he stuffed the stat sheet
with an interception, four
breakups, two quarterback
hurries and a blocked kick. It
marks the third straight year
that Coach Dorrel has directed the player who has topped
the NCAA in sacks.
For the second straight
season, senior end Aelker
blitzed his way to HCAC
Defensive Player of the Year
acclaim. He is the only defensive player in Bluffton history to be named the HCAC
Player of the Year and now
accomplished that feat twice!
Aelker expanded his repertoire as a senior and gave
Blufftons offense another weapon at tight end. He
caught two passes, both for
touchdowns.
He will leave Bluffton as
the most decorated defensive
player in school history. In
addition to his back-to-back
HCAC Defensive Player of
the Year awards, Aelker tops
Blufftons career lists with
35 sacks for 214 yards, 60
TFLs for 286 yards, eight
forced fumbles and 11 quarterback hurries. He finished
his career with 165 tackles
(110 solos), two interceptions, 11 breakups, two fumble recoveries and a blocked
kick. Aelker was a SecondTeam All-HCAC selection as
a sophomore before earning
First Team All-HCAC honors
the past two season. He was a
three-time HCAC Defensive

Player of the Week, once
as a sophomore and twice
this season. Aelker is the
first player to earn HCAC
Defensive MVP honors twice
since Matt Lawless from MSJ
in 2004 and 2006 and is the
only the second player to win
the award consecutively following Hanover linebacker
Kevin ODonohue in 199596.
The Bluffton record books
also saw their share of adjustments on the offensive side of
the ledger thanks to the outlandish numbers Roberson
put up. He needed just over
six games to knock Eric Metz
and Jack Tomlinson out of
the top spot for reception in
a single season. Robersons
10 catches at Manchester
gave him 70 and eight more
than the previous mark of
62 receptions. He went on to
haul in an even 100 for the
season, tying him for #1 in
the nation with 10.0 receptions per game.
His 1,096 receiving yards
also surpassed the previous
school record of 1,063 set by
Eric Metz in 1999. Roberson
equaled Donovans Browns
school record of 10 receiving touchdowns. He was
named the HCAC Offensive
Player of the Week after hauling in 10 catches for 143
yards and two touchdowns
in Blufftons 28-20 win at
Manchester when he broke
the season receptions record.
Roberson sits at 19th in the
nation with his 1,096 receiving yards. With two years
of eligibility left, Roberson
is closing in on two major
career marks.

KALIDA A good start

is an important part of any
basketball game.
It puts the team that does
well in the drivers seat early
and forces the team that falls
behind to play catchup.
The former team was the
host Kalida LadyCats and the
latter the visiting Jefferson
Lady Wildcats Saturday
afternoon inside The Wildcat
Den of Kalida High School.
The ending was a 56-30
dismantling by the LadyCats.
I dont know why we
struggled against their pressure early. It started from
missing a bunny on our opening shot and it went downhill
from there, Jefferson mentor
Dave Hoffman said. Kalida
is a good team and we hadnt
faced that kind of pressure all
over the court, plus they were
physical. We got better handling the ball in the second
half and we got more aggres-
sive. A good thing is getting

to the foul line quite a bit.
The LadyCats (3-2) had
another game with senior
4-year senior player Brittany
Kahle (6 steals) back from
injury.
That helps us a lot but
weve also been preaching
to the girls to throw the first
punch and be aggressive from
the start. Even today, it took a
couple of soft possessions for
us to get going, Kalida head
man Adam Huber explained.
What I like is solid contributions from all 11 girls we
played. We got good production from the bench, especially Cathy (Basinger) and
Katelyn (Siebeneck), to keep
up the energy and aggression.
One of the key reasons for
the poor start for the visitors
(4-1) was turnovers 11 in
the stanza (29 for the game)
and the other was 1-of7 shooting (9-of-39 overall,
0-of-11 from 3, for 23.1%).
On the other end, Kalida (3-2)
turned it over six times (20
total) but also canned 7-of-11

in the period (24-of-52 for the
contest, 2-of-15 long range,
for 46.2%). The LadyCats
scored first taking the lead
for good at 6:22 on a layin
by senior Kylie Osterhage
(13 counters, 6 boards). The
only Delphos score was a
short jumper by sophomore
Macy Wallace (4 points, 6
rebounds, 4 steals) at 2:38
and by then they trailed 9-2.
When the senior Basinger (12
counters, 6 in the quarter)
downed a short jumper at 43
ticks, the hosts led 15-2.
The Wildcats still struggled against the full- and
half-court pressure defense of
Kalida in the second period
and turned it over nine times.
They also continued to shoot
poorly 1-of-9 but managed 4-of-6 at the line (12of-19 total for 63.2%). That,
along with the LadyCats only
turning it over four times and
grabbing six offensive boards
to the Jeffcats three, gave the
home team 20 shots.

Unfortunately, Kalida was

their lead was 45-17 but 1-of2 singles by sophomore Sarah

it 45-18.
The visitors tried to rally
in the finale and forced six
turnovers in the first seven

the deficit to 45-26. However,
that was as close as they could
get as the LadyCats opened it
back up as the game came to

Jefferson ended up with

Kalida netted 6-of-9 from

Commodores turn over Wildcats

BY JIM METCALFE
DELPHOS Saturday
night saw a high-energy,
highly-competitive boys basketball matchup versus host
Jefferson and Perry at The
Stage.
The Commodores used
full-court pressure defense
to force 25 turnovers by the
Wildcats .
They built up a 16-point
halftime lead and held on for
a 69-60 non-league victory.
The Commodores took the
lead for good right off the
bat a 3-pointer by Seth
Poling (12 points) 40 ticks
into the matchup. Plummie
Gardner ( 21 markers, 3
treys) was the big gun for
the Commodores with 10 in
the quarter (2 bombs) and
Jakoby Harvey (16 markers, 8 boards, 5 assists, 3
steals) added seven for the
guests. On the other side,
Jace Stockwell (17 counters) dropped in six and Trey
Smith (game-high 28 markers 13-of-15 at the line
and 14 boards; 3 steals)
tacked on five. The Wildcats,
who trailed by as much as
eight in the canto, kept in the
contest by getting their guests
in foul trouble and hit 5-of-5
at the line (24-of-27 for the
game for 88.9%), including
two by Drew Reiss at 34.9
ticks, to be within 23-16.
Bearcats
The turnover bug struck

the hosts in a major way in
the second period eight
and that, combined with
3-of-9 shooting (17-of-45 for
the game, 2-of-13 downtown,
for 37.8%), kept them from
mounting a major challenge
in the stanza. Despite Smith
downing 10 markers (6-of-7
at the line), Stockwell was
the only other scorer in the
period (3). Perry, which was
8-of-18 in the first stanza
(22-of-52 total, 6-of-20 long
range, for 42.3%), netted
8-of-17 in the second. This
time, it was Harveys nine
that set the pace. When Orion
Monford (7 rebounds) hit a
runner from the right side
with no time on the clock, the
visitors led 45-29.
Our decision-making
against their pressure was
poor tonight. It wasnt so
much the initial part but the
secondary part that caused
us trouble, Jefferson head
coach Marc Smith said. We
did better the second half
and that helped us pay better
defense. We held them to 24
points the second half, so we
gave ourselves a chance, but
we just couldnt get over the
hump.
The Wildcats settled down
against Perry in the third and
began to climb back in. Their
mixing defenses especially a 3-2 zone with the 6-5
Trey Smith on the top

transferring it to the court.
For the game, Spencerville outshot
Van Wert from the field 34 percent (17
of 50) to 18 percent (8 of 45). The other
big factor was rebounding, won by the
Bearcats 39-22. Both teams were solid
from the line Spencerville at 71
percent (5 of 7), Van Wert at 67 percent
(10 of 15). The Cougars had fewer turnovers, 13-19.
Jacey Grigsby, the only senior on the
Spencerville roster, led all scorers with
21, while sophomore Kaiden Grigsby
added 10. The Cougars were led in
scoring by freshman Abby Jackson with
9. Junior Ally Jackson and sophomore
point guard Meyers added 7 apiece.
With only two returning letterwinners, Ally Jackson and junior Meghan
Spencerville led 19-18 at the half and

Grigsby had 17, including all three of
her teams treys. Both teams struggled
from the field during the first 16 minutes, the Bearcats hitting 29 percent (7
of 24), the Cougars 27 percent (6 of 22).

Moonshower, Coach Moonshower knew

this year would be a struggle. Now, however, the Cougars have five players out
with injuries or illness, including two
(sophomores Megan Braun and Hannah
Bartley) out for the year, so depth is
even more problematic.
Because of this, the junior varsity
game was reduced to two quarters, won
by Spencerville 16-14.

they denied our ball-reversal

passes, and we didnt adjust
well until Maddie started
attacking the middle of the
lane; that kind of made them
soften up a little bit.
Looser connected on a
3-pointer to put Lincolnview
up by 17 early in the fourth,
then effectively sealed the
game when she created steals
on consecutive possessions,
each resulting in an easy
Lancer score.
Lincolnview has a short
turnaround before a trip to
Northwest Conference foe
Spencerville on Thursday.
We only have one day
to get ready for them,
Williamson said. Its a winnable game but its going to
be tough. Theyre young, like
we are, but they are skilled.
Weve got our work cut out

Movie Review
Mockingjay 2
"Trick or Treat"
Directed by Francis Lawrence

PG-13
Mandatory Viewing is
the directive that pops up on
holographic screens across
all of post-apocalyptic Panem
when dictator Coriolanus Snow
(Donald Sutherland) beams a
transmission to the masses.
That message couldnt be
truer for Hunger Games fans,
especially as it pertains to this
movie, the final film of the four
made from author Suzanne
Collins trilogy of best-selling
dystopian young-adult novels.
This is the end, the big finish.
The Games have come to a
closemandatory viewing for
the masses, if ever there was.
The first Hunger Games,
in 2012, made Jennifer
Lawrence a household name as
Katniss Everdeen, the galloping, galvanizing firebrand who
became the leader of a revolution
and an icon of female empowerment. As Katniss fought and
forged her way to freedom in
brutal, futuristic games, fans
faithfully came back, movie after
movie, to follow herand see
just how faithfully Hollywood
kept to the details of Collins
books, which melded a younglove triangle with wicked satire
on reality TV, media propaganda,
social stratification and war.
Fans will be satisfied
with MockingjayPart 2. It
covers all the bases and ties
up the loose ends, and everybodys back on board: Peeta
(Josh Hutcherson), Gale
(Liam Hemsworth), Haymitch
(Woody Harrelson), President
Coin (Julianne Moore),
Primrose (Willow Shields),
Finnick (Sam Claflin), Cressida
(Natalie Dormer), Johanna
(Jena Malone). Even Phillip
