Court dates set in lawsuit against Pomeroy, Porter
Sarah Hawley

shawley@civitasmedia.com

POMEROY — Court dates
have been set in the civil case
filed by Banks Construction
against Mark Porter and the Village of Pomeroy.
An entry was filed last week
in Meigs County Common Pleas
Court establishing a case schedule in the lawsuit.
According to the entry a trial
date in the case is set for 9 a.m.
on Dec. 12.
In a separate entry, Mark Por-

ter was granted an extension
to plead. Porter had previously
been granted an extension until
Feb. 11 and will now be given until March 1 to submit a response
to the claims filed by Banks Construction.
Pomeroy filed its response in
January.
Other key dates set in the case
include deadlines for witness
lists, discovery and pretrial.
The Plaintiff is to identify nonexpect witnesses by March 11,
with expect witnesses to be identified by April 8. April 8 is also

the deadline for the defendants
to identify non-expert witnesses.
The defendants have until May 6
to identify expert witnesses.
A final pre-trial will be held
approximately two weeks prior
to the trial date, with other hearings as needed.
Banks Construction filed a
civil suit against the Village and
Porter in mid December with regard to the sale of the old Pomeroy High School building.
The complaint was filed by
Athens-based attorney Steven T.
Sloan on behalf of the plaintiff,

Banks Construction Company.
Banks Construction is based in
Pomeroy.
The filing alleges that the village and Porter did not follow
protocol with regard to the sale
of the old Pomeroy High School
building.
The complaint details the alleged issues brought up by the
sale of the school to Porter.
According to the complaint,
Pomeroy Village Ordinance 751
gave the village the right to reject any and all bids submitted as
a result of the call for bids due

on Dec. 4, 2011. It further stated
that 10 percent of the accepted
bid was due within seven days of
the bid opening, and the balance
was due within 30 days.
The complaint also alleges
that Porter submitted a bid, however no contract was entered
into between the village and Porter or, alternatively, any contract
by and between the village and
Porter was subsequently revoked
or terminated. It also states that
Porter did not pay the 10 percent
within seven days and did not

POMEROY — Personnel of the Meigs Soil and
Water Conservation District are all settled into their
new location on Memorial Drive and are back to
business as usual.
While the move took place in mid-December, it
took some time for the personnel to get all settled
into their new offices, so the open house for the public’s viewing of the new Meigs SWCD offices was delayed until last week.
For the past 23 years, the agency had been located
on Hiland Ave, but a move was necessitated when
the Farm Service Agency office which shared space
was consolidated with Gallia County and moved into
that location.
The financial loss on expenses forced a location
change and the logical move was into property

Alumni game raises over $1,300 for scholarship
Sentinel Staff Report
tdsnews@civitasmedia.com

RACINE — The fifth
annual Southern Alumni
Association “Big Fooze
Scholarship”
basketball
game was once again a
huge success — raising
$1,323 after expenses for
the scholarship named in
honor of longtime Racine
teacher Hilton Wolfe, Jr.
Recent Hall of Fame inductee Carl Wolfe, coach

of the 1980 and 1982 state
teams was the oldest player at age 72 to score, hitting a pair of free throws
in the first quarter of the
old-timers game.
What’s old is new and
what’s new is old. Many
good times and great memories were made in Charles
W. Hayman Gymnasium.
That spirit remained during Saturday’s alumni
event where even more
memories were made.

“This has been an emotional weekend,” said Scott
Wolfe, one of many alumni
organizers of this event.
“To win the game Friday
night here in Charles W.
Hayman Gymnasium and
tonight hear the kids and
fans singing ‘Stand Upand-Cheer’ and seeing the
alumni cheerleaders out
there doing their fight
song routine was inspirational.”
“We had another great

turnout of fans and players,” added Wolfe. “It was
a nice send-off to the gym
and added more money to
dad’s scholarship fund. I
would like to give special
thanks to the alumni association for their help with
this event, our teachers
and students, the fans, the
players, the band and everyone else who made this
a success. ”
The evening began with
the women’s alumni game

which the Southern Gold
team won 45-36. Women
from the 1970’s through
2012 competed in the
event. Leading the Gold
team was Ashley Roush
with 14 points, Courtney
Thomas had 13, Kristina
Williams Sellers had eight,
Morgan McMillan six, and
Della Johnson Wolfe two.
The Purple team was led
by Rachel Chapman Hupp
and Amy Lee each with
ten points, Junie Beegle

Maynard had eight, Mel
Weese four, Tonja Salser
Hunter two, Wendy Wolfe

Jesse Jackson Jr. pleads
guilty in campaign case
WASHINGTON (AP)
— Former U.S. Rep. Jesse
Jackson Jr., holding back
tears, entered a guilty plea
Wednesday in federal court
to criminal charges that he
engaged in a scheme to
spend $750,000 in campaign funds on personal
items. He faces 46 to 57
months in prison under a
plea deal with prosecutors
Before entering the plea
to the conspiracy charge,
Jackson told U.S. District
Judge Robert L. Wilkins,
“I’ve never been more clear
in my life” in his decision
to plead guilty.
Later, when Wilkins
asked if Jackson committed the acts outlined in
court papers, the former
congressman replied, “I
did these things.” He added later, “Sir, for years I
lived in my campaign,” and
used money from the campaign for personal use.
Jackson dabbed his face
with tissues, and at point
a court employee brought
some tissues to Jackson’s
lawyer, who gave them to
the ex-congressman.
Jackson told the judge
he was waiving his right to
trial.
“In perfect candor, your
honor, I have no interest
in wasting the taxpayers’
time or money,” he said.
Sentencing is scheduled
for June 28, and Wilkins
is not bound by the plea
agreement. Jackson is free
until then.
Since last June, Jackson has been hospitalized
twice at the Mayo Clinic in
Rochester, Minn., for treatment of bipolar disorder
and other issues, and he
stayed out of the public eye
for months, even during
the November elections.
His attorney said after the
court appearance that Jackson’s health is “not an excuse” for his actions, “just
a fact.”
Jackson entered the
courtroom holding hands
with his wife, Sandra, and
looking a bit dazzled as
he surveyed the packed
room. He kissed his wife
and headed to the defense

table. She is expected to
plead guilty to a charge
of filing false joint federal
income tax returns for the
years 2006 through 2011
that knowingly understated the income the couple
received.
Jackson’s father, civil
rights leader Jesse Jackson, sat in the front row.
Before the hearing started,
he wrote notes on a small
piece of paper. When the
proceedings started, he
sat expressionless and virtually motionless, hands
folded. Several other family members also attended.
Jesse Jackson Jr., wearing a blue shirt and bluepatterned tie and gray
suit, answered a series of
questions from the judge,
mostly in a muffled tone.
When the judge asked if he
had consumed any drugs
or alcohol in the previous
24 hours, Jackson said he
had a beer Tuesday night.
As the proceedings
wound up, Jackson sat at
the defense table, furrowed
his brow and shook his
head, in what looked like
an expression of disbelief.
After the hearing was adjourned, he walked over to
his wife, grabbed her hand,
and then was greeted by
his father. Jackson Jr. patted his father on the back a
few times.
“Tell everybody back
home I’m sorry I let them
down, OK?” Jackson told
Chicago Sun-Times Washington bureau chief Lynn
Sweet, according to her
Tweet from the scene.
Jackson, 47, used campaign money to buy items
including a $43,350 goldplated men’s Rolex watch
and $9,587.64 worth of
children’s furniture, according to court papers
filed in the case. His wife
spent $5,150 on fur capes
and parkas, the court documents said. Prosecutors
said that upon conviction Jackson must forfeit
$750,000, plus tens of
thousands of dollars’ worth
of memorabilia items and
furs.
More details emerged in

The Daily Sentinel • Page 3

www.mydailysentinel.com

a 22-page statement compiled by prosecutors, filed
Wednesday, in which Jackson admitted that he and
his wife used campaign
credit cards to buy 3,100
personal items worth
$582,772.58 from 2005
through April of last year.
Personal expenditures at
restaurants, nightclubs and
lounges cost $60,857.04.
Personal expenditures at
sports clubs and lounges
cost $16,058.91, including
maintaining a family membership at a gym. Personal
spending for alcohol cost
$5,814.43. Personal spending for dry cleaning cost
$14,513.42.
Among the individual
purchases made with campaign credit cards:
—A $466 dinner for
two of “a personal nature”
at Mandarin Oriental’s
CityZen restaurant.
—A washer, a dryer, a
range and a refrigerator
for the Jacksons’ Chicago
home.
—Multiple flat-screen
televisions, multiple BluRay DVD players and numerous DVDs for their
Washington, D.C., home.
—A five-day health retreat for one of Mrs. Jackson’s relatives.
—Stuffed animals and
accessories for them.
—Goods at Costco, from
video games to toilet paper.
The charge against
Sandra Jackson carries a
maximum of three years
in prison. However, one of
her lawyers, Tom Kirsch,
says the plea agreement
“does not contemplate a
sentence of that length.”
Sandra Jackson was a Chicago alderman before she
resigned last month during
the federal investigation.
One of Jackson’s lawyers, Reid H. Weingarten,
told reporters after the
hearing that there’s reason
for optimism.
“A man that talented, a
man that devoted to public
service, a man who’s done
so much for so many, has
another day. There will be
another chapter in Jesse
Jackson’s life,” he said.

2012 marks record year for
new business filings in Ohio
COLUMBUS — Secretary of State
Jon Husted recently announced that
the number of new companies that
filed in Ohio in 2012 set a record for
the state, based on data available. In
total, 88,068 new entities filed to do
business last year — the most in the
state’s 209 year history.
“More companies choosing to do
business in our state helps grow our
economy and increases job prospects
for people across Ohio,” Husted said.
“My office will continue our efforts
to make setting up a business in
Ohio as easy as possible.”
Husted also noted that more than
2.1 million new businesses have filed
with the state since Ohio officially
became a state in 1803.
Last month, Husted announced
that 2012 year-end filing figures for

new businesses showed three consecutive years of growth. In fact,
data showed that the number of
new companies that filed with the
state increased 16.5 percent from
2009 to 2012. Additional information on that announcement is available here.
Though the most visible role of
the Secretary of State is that of chief
elections officer, the office is also
the first stop for individuals or companies who want to file and start a
business in Ohio. While recognizing
these numbers can’t provide a complete picture of Ohio’s jobs climate,
they are an important indicator of
economic activity that Husted hopes
will add to the discussion of how to
improve the state’s overall climate
for business.

Lawsuit

pay the balance within 30
days.
Porter’s exchanges with
council at the Oct. 8 meeting are also detailed in the
complaint. At the meeting,
Porter was advised that if
he was interested in the
building, he would have to
rebid.
In the next meeting,
council passed a motion
to deliver a letter to Porter
clarifying his bid. As stated
in the complaint, the letter
read (in part):
Your bid of $20,250
was the low [sic] bid, and
thus you were awarded
the right to purchase the
property for that amount.
Shortly thereafter you
indicated you wished to
withdraw your bid and
not purchase the property.
Relying upon this assertion, the Village moved
ahead to solicit bids again
for the sale of the old Pomeroy High School. Recently,
however, you indicated
that you never withdrew
your bid and wished to go
ahead and purchase the
old Pomeroy High School.
Therefore, in order to
dispel any confusion regarding the status of your
bid, the Village of Pomeroy
is willing to allow you to
follow through on your
initial bid and purchase
the property at this time
pursuant to that bid of
$20,250.
The complaint also
states that council refused
to consider any bids submitted pursuant to the advertisement published on
Oct. 3, 10, 17, 24, and 31
of this year.
On Nov. 12, then-Pomeroy Mayor Mary McAngus
told council the building
had officially been transferred to Mark Porter in
accordance with the bid he
placed nearly a year ago,
which was formally accepted in February of this year.
McAngus stated that the
deed had been transferred
to Porter and that the sale
had been paid in full. The
complaint states that the
deed was recorded with the
Meigs County Recorder

transferring the Old Pomeroy High School property
from the Village to Porter
on or about Nov. 14.
The announcement by
McAngus came on a night
when bids from the most
recent sale advertisement
were to be opened by members of council. According
to a legal notice printed in
The Daily Sentinel on multiple days in October, bids
for the property were to be
submitted by Nov. 9 to the
village.
McAngus said that four
bids — including one from
Banks — had been received
by council and would be
returned unopened along
with a letter stating the
reasoning. McAngus stated that Village Solicitor
Mick Barr would help with
sending out the letter.
The plaintiff is asking
that the Village of Pomeroy and Village Council
proceed to open the bids
which were submitted in
accord with the legal advertisements in October
2012. The complaint also
asks that the village and
council proceed according
to the law with regard to
the bids submitted.
Porter had submitted the
only bid in December 2011
on the property which is
adjacent to his auto dealership. The bid of $20,250
was much less that the asking price of $60,000. At
the time, it was estimated
that it would cost $40,000
to demolish the structure.
The village had advertised
the property for sale twice
in 2011, with Porter’s bid
coming from the second
advertisement. There were
no bids the first time.
While council accepted
the bid at the December
12, 2011, meeting, an ordinance approving the sale
was not passed until Feb.
13, 2012. Ordinance 758,
an emergency ordinance,
accepted the bid by Mark
Porter Chevrolet and approved the mayor to sign
the deed for transfer of the
sale.
During the April 9,
2012, meeting of Pomeroy
Village Council, McAngus
signed the deed allowing

for the transfer to take
place. At the time it was
estimated that the closing
would take place later that
week or early the following
week.
The sale of the building
was not discussed with
council again until June 25,
2012, when McAngus told
council that the dealership
did not go through with
the purchase of the property. No action was taken
at that time regarding the
property.
Three months later, in
late September, council
approved to advertise the
building for purchase for a
third time.
Porter spoke with council during the first meeting
in October, stating that he
would go ahead and purchase the building if council
had the proper title/deed.
On more than one occasion
during the meeting, Porter
noted that there was an
issue with the title/deed.
Porter said that he never
received the deed to the
property and stated that
Village Solicitor Mick Barr
had spent several months
doing research to locate the
deed. Council member Phil
Ohlinger said this was the
first he had hear of any issue with the deed.
At that time, Porter was
told that he could not buy
the property since it was
being rebid.
The building — which
was built in 1914 — was
home to the Pomeroy High
School Panthers until the
school consolidated into
the Meigs Local School
District 40 years ago.
Following the consolidation, the building became
the Pomeroy Municipal
Building, housing the water office, police department and other administrative offices. The building
has remained vacant since
the village moved operations in December 2009
to the former Millennium
building.
The property, according to discussion at previous council meetings, was
transferred from Meigs Local School District to the
Village of Pomeroy in 2011.

Fishing’s decline looms; Gun raffles stoke debate
after Conn. shooting
will fish eaters notice?
Lynne Tuohy

The Associated Press

Jay Lindsay

The Associated Press

GLOUCESTER, Mass.
— His city’s best fishing
days are long past it, but
lifelong Gloucester resident Ron Gilson still sees
what once was when he
drives past what remains.
There’s the waterfront
lot, littered with discarded
fishing nets and lobster
pots, where vessels in the
famed fishing fleet once
docked. The clatter and
grit of a top maritime machine shop downtown has
been replaced by a banquet
hall. On the state fish pier,
where Gilson briefly parks,
the sounds of year-round
work have given way to the
quiet whirr of his idling
Prius.
To the 79-year-old, the
decline of the industry
has stolen jobs, community spirit and opportunity.
And it’s not over, Gilson
said.
“This is the lowest
point,” he declared on a
February day. “Tomorrow
will be lower.”
In May, New England’s
fishermen will again see a
cut to the number of fish
they can catch, this time so
deeply that the historic industry’s existence is threatened from Rhode Island to
Maine. But as hard as the
cuts are likely to hit fishing
communities, local seafood
eaters may not notice at
all. In the region’s markets,
grocery stores and restaurants, imported fish dominate, and the cuts make
that less likely to change.
The cuts will shrink the
catch limit 77 percent for
cod in the Gulf of Maine
and 61 percent for cod in
Georges Bank, off southeastern
Massachusetts.
That’s the worst of a series of reductions to the
catch of bottom-dwelling
groundfish, such as haddock and flounder, that
many fear could be fatal to
the industry.
“They’re going to wipe
it out!” said Gilson. “The
only thing that’s going to
be the same is the ocean
you’re looking at.”

For fish consumers, a
sharp drop in the local
groundfish catch may jar a
select group of diners who
seek fish caught that day.
But the cut’s effects may
not ripple further than
that.
Just 9 percent of the
seafood eaten in the United States is domestically
caught, the federal government estimates. In New
England, locally caught
cod was just a slightly
larger fraction of all cod
eaten, 12 percent, according to fisheries economist
Jenny Sun of the Portland,
Maine-based Gulf of Maine
Research Institute. And
she estimates that could
drop to 4 percent after the
coming cuts.
Much of the imported
cod is caught and frozen in
Norway and cut in China,
and there’s plenty of it, Sun
said. If the local cod catch
dips to near nothing, fish
processors “could easily fill
in with imports,” Sun said.
In fact, the biggest issue
for one Maine seafood processing executive has been
the perception that the
New England industry’s
troubles mean he won’t
have fish.
But prices will likely
change little after the cuts
because substitutes are
plentiful, said Chris Fream,
senior sales executive at
North Atlantic Inc., a processor in Portland, Maine.
“The sky certainly isn’t
falling because a) we knew
it was coming and b) we’ve
prepared for it and there’s
other species that are
around,” he said.
The remaining fishermen have limited options.
The Northeast’s groundfish fleet had 420 boats in
2011, a drop of 150 in just
two years, and many of
those who continue to fish
do so because they have no
choice.
Scituate
fisherman
Frank Mirarchi noted wryly that, at 69, he has few
employment options. The
fishermen he cooperates
with, pooling quota and
resources, have discussed
taking even more boats out

of the water and trying to
hang in with whatever they
can catch.
“This is not a long-term
strategy,” Mirarchi said.
“Something needs to happen before 2014 or we all
go down the tubes.”
The crew on Gloucester
fisherman Richard Burgess’s two boats is family,
and he said he hasn’t considered selling out of the
business.
“I put them out on the
street, where are they going to get a goddamn job?”
he said. “And these are
men who have devoted
their lives to feeding the
country fresh fish. And
now the country is stabbing us in the heart.”
Groundfish accounts for
50 percent of the business
for Richie Canastra, coowner at the Whaling City
Seafood Display Auction
in New Bedford. He can
still depend on the port’s
robust scallop catch, but
he said he’s already laid
off four of 30 workers and
anticipates another 10 layoffs when the cuts kick in
in May.
There’s talk of government aid for fishermen, after the fishery was declared
an economic disaster last
year. But the best hope
for many in the industry
seems to be a correction
in the science that fishermen view as deeply flawed.
There’s also a belief that
natural fluctuations have
made fish scarce this year,
and those same fluctuations can bring them back.
Canastra recalls the
story about a 1928 Massachusetts license plate
that featured a symbol of
codfish that appears to be
swimming away from the
plate’s abbreviation for the
state. The cod catch suddenly dropped that year,
prompting superstitious
fishermen to demand the
plate be changed to show
the fish swimming toward
the state name.
It was, and the cod came
back to Massachusetts. It
can again, Canastra said.
“My point is, there are
cycles,” he said.

CONCORD, N.H. — Police chiefs in
New Hampshire wanted more money for
their youth training program. A youth
hockey team in North Dakota needed
more ice time.
Both saw giving away guns as the answer.
From car dealerships to political parties
to hockey teams to yes, even police chiefs,
gun giveaways are an attractive way to
make money or draw in customers. But in
the wake of the deadly shooting rampage
in a Connecticut elementary school, such
raffles are drawing criticism as the ease of
obtaining firearms fuels gun-control debates nationwide.
The New Hampshire Association of
Chiefs of Police is raffling off a gun every
day in May, including a Ruger AR-15-style
rifle with 30-round magazine similar to
the one used in the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting that killed 20 children and six educators in December. The
players in West Fargo’s Youth Hockey Association will raffle off 200 guns and an allterrain vehicle next month. Up for grabs
are shotguns, handguns hunting rifles and
semi-automatic rifles.
Both were planned long before the
shooting in Newtown invigorated calls for
increased gun control. That didn’t stop
critics from blasting the raffles as, at best,
in poor taste and, at worst, criminal.
John Rosenthal, founder and director of
the Massachusetts-based Stop Handgun
Violence, called the chiefs’ raffle “insane”
and “criminally irresponsible.”
“In 33 states, including Maine, New
Hampshire and Vermont, the winner of
this AR-15 can turn around the same day
and sell it to anyone without an ID or
background check,” Rosenthal said. “They
should cancel their raffle and give away a
nice mountain bike or snowmobile.”
Jonathan Lowy, director of the legal action program at the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence, said he knows of no
state in which the raffle would be illegal.
But “having these gun giveaways and gun
raffles can trivialize the seriousness of
firearms,” Lowy said.
In a letter posted on the chiefs association website, Salem Police Chief Paul
Donovan extended his sympathies to the
families of those killed in Newtown but
stressed it and other tragic shootings “are
contrary to lawful and responsible gun
ownership.”
Donovan, who did not respond to interview requests, wrote that the raffle’s rules
require winners meet all applicable state
and federal laws, including background
checks. The goal of the raffle — to raise
$30,000 to offset the cost of the weeklong
police cadet training academy — has already been met. The 1,000 raffle tickets,
at $30 apiece, sold out last month.
Three of the guns being raffled off are
named on a list of weapons that would be

prohibited under a proposed ban introduced by Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif.,
in the wake of the Sandy Hook rampage.
That proposal would also ban ammunition
magazines that hold more than 10 rounds.
While the Newtown shooting has intensified the criticism of the chiefs’ raffle,
other giveaways have had similarly inauspicious timing.
After a 2011 shooting rampage in Arizona wounded Rep. Gabrielle Giffords
and killed six others, the county Republican Party raffled off a Glock handgun to
raise money for voter outreach. Its slogan
was “Help Pima GOP get out the vote and
maybe help yourself to a new Glock.” The
county GOP interim chairman said at the
time he didn’t think there was anything inappropriate about the promotion.
Missouri state Rep. John McCaherty
raised campaign funds last August by raffling off an AR-15 semi-automatic rifle, a
month after a similar gun was used in the
Aurora, Colo. movie theater shooting that
killed 12 people and wounded 58. McCaherty didn’t return calls seeking comment.
The owner of an Atlanta-area sporting
goods store doesn’t understand the outrage.
Last November, Jay Wallace offered
anyone who brought their “I Voted”
sticker a raffle ticket to win a handgun
or rifle from his store, Adventure Outdoors. When Georgia’s secretary of state
pointed out it’s a felony to offer gifts for
votes, Wallace opened it up to anyone.
Wallace said the whole thing had been
resolved by the time a local state senator
filed a complaint about the raffle with the
state, setting off a barrage of publicity.
“It was really unbelievable — it made
it around the world,” he told the Associated Press. “Thousands of people signed
up for the raffle. We were really grateful
to him.”
Wallace said he sees no problem with
chiefs of police or anybody else raffling
guns.
“It’s going to a good cause,” Wallace
said. “People want a chance to win something that they want. Everybody wins.”
Jack Kimball, chairman of Granite
State Patriots and organizer of a rally
outside the New Hampshire statehouse
last month opposing gun control, said it
angers him that people are using Sandy
Hook and other tragic shootings to bash
the New Hampshire chiefs.
“It’s hysteria that doesn’t belong here,”
said Kimball. “They shouldn’t wavier.
They should have the raffle.”
The gun raffle is the first held by the
chiefs association and could be the last if
Robert Sprague gets his way.
The marketing consultant wrote Donovan 31 emails — one for every gun being
raffled — before he finally heard back.
Although he couldn’t stop this year’s raffle, Sprague said Donovan seemed open
to his offer of help to promote a different
kind of fundraiser next year.

Wahama outlasts Irish, 85-77
Bryan Walters

bwalters@civitasmedia.com

HUNTINGTON, W.Va. — A
good start led to a better finish
for the Wahama boys basketball
team Tuesday night during an
85-77 victory over host Huntington Saint Joseph Central in a
non-conference matchup in Cabell County.
The White Falcons (9-12) outscored the Irish (2-17) in three

of the four quarters of action,
including both segments of the
first half. The guests made their
biggest charge of the night in the
opening eight minutes of play, as
WHS jumped out to a 28-18 first
quarter advantage.
The White Falcons added
to that lead with a small 19-16
second period run, allowing the
guests to secure a 47-34 intermission edge. St. Joe countered
with a 24-17 surge in the third

canto to cut its deficit down to
64-58 headed into the finale.
Wahama never lost the lead
down the stretch, and ultimately
held on with a 21-19 spurt to
wrap up the eight-point triumph.
The White Falcons have now
won seven of their last 11 contests.
WHS had two players record
double-doubles in the contest,
as Trenton Gibbs had a teamhigh 25 points and 10 rebounds

while Hunter Bradley added 20
points and 11 caroms. Bradley
just missed a triple-double after
dishing out a team-best nine assists.
Jacob Ortiz added 15 points to
the winning cause, while Austin
Jordan and Wyatt Zuspan respectively chipped in 14 and seven
markers. Dakota Sisk rounded
out the winning tally with four
markers. WHS hit six trifectas
and went 23-of-33 from the free

throw line for 70 percent.
Michael Mayes paced the Irish
with a game-high 37 points, followed by Wulf Goheen with 13
points and Paul Dransfield with
nine markers. Huntington St. Joe
made 11 three-pointers — including seven for Mayes — and
also went 8-of-10 at the charity
stripe for 80 percent.
Wahama will host Waterford
Thursday during its Senior
Night contest at 6 p.m.

THE PLAINS, Ohio — Rebounding leads the Golden
Eagles back to the sectional final.
The Belpre boys basketball team out rebounded River
Valley 37-to-24 Tuesday night in a 43-32 victory over the
Raiders in the sectional semi-final held at Charles McAfee
Gymnasium on the campus of Athens High School.
The Golden Eagles (13-9) scored eight points through
the first 5:30 of the game, while holding RVHS (3-20)
scoreless. River Valley scored back to back buckets in to
close the quarter trailing 8-4.
The Raiders scored the opening basket of the second
quarter but Belpre went on a 10-0 run, expanding the
lead to 12 with 3:00 remaining in the half. The Silver and
Black closed the first half with a 4-to-2 spurt and trailed
20-10 at the midway point. The Raiders shot just 5-of-24
(20.8 percent) in the first half of play.
After the intermission BHS went on a 10-to-4 run that
put their lead at 16 midway through the third period.
River Valley was able to out score BHS 5-to-3 over the
remainder of the third but the Golden Eagles hed the 3219 advantage with eight minutes remaining.
The Raiders had their best offensive period of the night
in the fourth, as they turned the ball over just once while
shooting 5-of-15 from the field. River Valley out scored
Belpre 13-to-10 in the final period but the Orange and
Black claimed the 43-32 victory.
“The rebounding hurt us, especially in the first half,”
River Valley coach Jordan Hill said. “We out rebounded
them the first game but we knew coming in with their
size and they style of defense that we play, rebounding
was going to be critical. We didn’t get the job done in the
first half and compound that with our shooting percentage, that adds up to the final score.”
The Raiders were led by freshman Tyler Twyman with
10 points in the game, followed by John Qualls and Seann
Roberts with eight apiece. Joseph Loyd, Jacob Gilmore
and Brycen Hatfield each marked two points, rounding
out the RVHS scoring.

ROCKSPRINGS, Ohio — One down, one to go for
another trip to the Convo.
The South Gallia boys basketball team shot 54 percent from the field while picking up a tournament victory for the third consecutive postseason following a
68-53 decision over Ironton Saint Joseph in a Division IV sectional semifinal matchup Tuesday night
at Larry R. Morrison Gymnasium on the campus of
Meigs High School.
The ninth-seeded Rebels (7-16) battled through
four ties and six lead changes in the opening 11
minutes of regulation, but a Kody Lambert field goal
allowed SGHS to break a 20-all tie and secure a permanent lead at 22-20 with 4:21 remaining before halftime.
The eighth-seeded Flyers (6-16) stayed within a
possession (26-23) at the break, but SGHS netted
8-of-10 field goals to start the third period — allowing the guests to secure a 47-37 edge headed into the
finale.
The Rebels — who hit 15-of-23 shot attempts in
the second half — led by as many as 22 points midway through the last canto, and ISJHS never came
closer than 64-51 with 1:17 left in regulation.
South Gallia — which also beat Ironton St. Joe last
year in the sectional tournament — picked up its first
two-game winning streak of the season. More importantly, the Rebels have also earned another chance to
play basketball this winter.
SGHS will face top-seeded Pike Eastern in a D-4
sectional final at 6:15 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 27, at
Meigs High School. It will also be a rematch of last
year’s D-4 district championship game at the Convocation Center.
It was the first postseason victory for first-year
SGHS coach Larry Howell, who inherited one letterwinner from last year to go along with a blend of five
seniors and several underclassmen.

The Point Pleasant boys basketball
team picked up its seventh straight
victory while Dillon McCarty became the program’s all-time leading
scorer Tuesday night following a 7760 decision over host Ravenswood in
a non-conference matchup in Jackson
County.
The Big Blacks (12-9) stormed out
to a 21-9 advantage after eight min-

utes of play and never looked back,
as the guests followed with a small
22-21 second period run to secure a
43-30 cushion at the break.
PPHS kept momentum going into
the third canto, as the Big Blacks
used a 20-13 charge to secure a commanding 63-43 lead headed into the
finale.
The Red Devils (5-15) managed a
17-14 run down the stretch, but ultimately never came closer than four
possessions in the 17-point setback.
PPHS also defeated Ravenswood last
Saturday by a 71-48 margin in Mason
County.
McCarty — a senior — poured
in a team-high 24 points for the victors, pushing his career total to 1,203
points. McCarty scored in each quarter of play and had 15 points at the

intermission. Wade Martin was next
with 16 points, followed by Aden
Yates with 13 points and Alex Somerville with eight markers.
Adam Slack contributed seven
points to the winning cause, while
the trio of Cody Pearson, Andrew
Williamson and Nate Chapman
rounded out the scoring with three
markers apiece. The Big Blacks were
8-of-13 at the free throw line for 62
percent.
Jake Martin paced RHS with a
game-high 30 points, followed by
Heath Burgess with 17 points and
Logan Jarrett with five markers. Ravenswood was 13-of-16 at the charity
stripe for 81 percent.
Point Pleasant will host Senior
Night Friday when Nitro comes to
town.

OVCS girls sweep Lady Lions, 55-32 Defenders sweep PCA, 63-35

WAVERLY, Ohio —
The Ohio Valley Christian
girls basketball team had
seven players reach the
scoring column — including three in double figures
— Tuesday night during
a 55-32 victory over host
Pike Christian Academy in a non-conference
matchup at the Waverly
First Baptist Church gymnasium in Pike County.
The Lady Defenders
(4-13) managed a small
9-6 advantage after eight
minutes of play, but the
guests made their biggest
charge of the night in the
second canto after a 20-5

surge allowed OVCS to
secure a 29-11 lead at the
intermission.
The Lady Lions fought
back with a small 14-12
run in the third canto to
pull within 41-25 headed
into the finale, but Ohio
Valley Christian closed
regulation with a 14-7 run
to wrap up the 23-point
triumph.
The win allowed the
Lady Defenders to claim
a season sweep of PCA after posting a 71-27 win on
January 31 in Gallipolis.
Emily Carman led
OVCS with a game-high
16 points, a dozen of
which came in that pivotal second period charge.
Madison Crank was next

with 14 points, followed
by Sarah Schoonover
with 10 points and Abby
Rankin with eight markers.
Teah Elliott chipped in
three points to the winning cause, while Ashley
Childers and McKinsey
Sanders rounded out the
scoring with two markers
each. The guests were 3-of7 at the free throw line for
43 percent.
Nicole Garmen paced
Pike Christian Academy
with 13 points, followed
by Audrey Patton with 10
points and Brittany Garmen with five markers.
PCA was 4-of-13 at the
charity stripe for 31 percent.

first period. RVHS turned

the game.
The Golden Eagles
were led by Nick Therriault, Ryan Leasure and
Dakota Hoffman with 10

Pittenger had eight. Sam
Petty added five points,
rounding out the BHS
scoring.

WAVERLY, Ohio — Senior Chance
Burleson posted a triple-double and
the Ohio Valley Christian boys basketball team picked up a season sweep of
host Pike Christian Academy Tuesday
night during a 63-35 victory at the Waverly First Baptist Church Gymnasium
in Pike County.
Burleson posted 12 points, hauled in
13 rebounds and dished out 11 assists
for the Defenders (11-8), who defeated
the Lions by a 65-19 margin back on
January 31 in Gallipolis. Burleson also
came up three steals short of a quadruple double, finishing the night with
seven thefts.
The Defenders led 24-13 after eight
minutes of play and never looked back,

as the guests followed with a 17-10 run
to secure a 41-23 cushion at the intermission. OVCS kept that momentum
going with a 14-4 surge in the third
canto for a 55-27 lead, then both teams
managed eight points down the stretch
to wrap up the 28-point outcome.
T.G. Miller led the Defenders with
15 points, followed by Richard Bowman with 14 points and Burleson’s
dozen markers. Lukas Wells chipped in
11 points to the winning cause, while
Evan Bowman and Eric Blevins respectively added five and four points. Will
Rankin rounded out the winning tally
with two markers.
Braden Bakenhaster paced PCA
with a game-high 23 points.
The Defenders will host East Richland Christian at 5 p.m. Thursday in an
OCSAA tournament contest.

Raiders
From Page 6
The Sliver and Black
shot 14-of-50 (28 percent)
from the field, including
4-of-24 (16.7 percent)
from beyond the arc.
Twyman and Qualls each
accounted for a pair of
RVHS triples. River Valley
was 0-of-1 from the charity
stripe with Qualls attempting the lone free throw on

tween these teams, which
was held at Marietta College as part of the Ohio
River Classic. The Raiders won that game 56-52,
while holding a 25-16 rebounding advantage in the
contest. RVHS shot over
51 percent (23-of-45) in
that game.
This marks the final
game for River Valley seniors Ethan Dovenbarger,

Jacob Gilmore, Joesph
Loyd, Kyle Bays and Zack
Crow. “Obviously, when
you lose any group of seniors it’s disappointing,”
noted Hill.
The victory makes it a
season-high three in a row
for the Washington County
team, while RVHS finishes
its season on a seven game
skid. This is the first nonconference victory for

Belpre this season, as they
were 0-5 against non-TriValley Conference Hocking Division teams before
Tuesday.
Belpre will now face
Zane Trace in the sectional
final at 3:00 p.m. Saturday
at Athens High School.
This game will be a rematch of last season’s sectional final in which Zane
Trace won 57-43.

Rebels
From Page 6
The Rebels played with patience and valued possessions,
which is why the program is
now one win away from its third
straight sectional title.
“It’s a big win for us, and I am
just so happy for the kids right
now. These kids have worked
hard, and for us to get a tournament win as young as we are is a
real stepping stone for us,” Howell said afterwards. “We executed
our offense, we didn’t have a lot
of turnovers and we got good
looks at the basket. It was about
as well as we have played all year,
and this is the right time for it.
“We know we’ll really have our
hands full in the next one against
(Pike) Eastern, but we’ve battled
all year to get where we are right
now. I know that these kids will
be ready to battle and that’s all
I can really ask of them at this

point. I’m proud as hell of them.”
There were two ties and four
lead changes in the opening period, with St. Joe claiming its only
lead of the first canto at 3-2 with
4:54 remaining. SGHS answered
with a 3-2 run to force a 5-all tie
with 4:29 left, then the Rebels
made a 9-2 surge over the next
2:23 to secure a 14-7 edge.
Ironton Saint Joseph snapped
a 2:35 scoreless drought with a
field goal just 16 seconds away
from the end of the first quarter,
allowing the hosts to enter the
second canto trailing by a 14-9
margin.
Kody Lambert hit a trifecta 12
seconds into the start the second period, allowing SGHS to
take its biggest lead of the first
half at 17-9. The Flyers, however,
responded with a 9-0 charge —
capped by a pair of Justin Mahlmeister free throws — that gave
the hosts their final lead of the

night at 18-17 with 5:50 left in
the half.
Both teams found themselves
tied at 18-all and 20-all, then
Lambert hit a short jumper to
give the Rebels a 22-20 edge.
St. Joe twice pulled to within
a point before the break, but
South Gallia made a small 4-3
spurt over the final four minutes
to secure a 26-23 lead at the intermission.
SGHS was 10-of-23 from the
field for 43 percent in the opening 16 minutes, while the Flyers sank 7-of-25 shot attempts
for 28 percent during that same
span. Both teams also committed seven turnovers before halftime.
South Gallia opened the second half with a 10-2 surge over
two-and-a-half minutes, giving
the guests their first doubledigit lead of the night. Landon
Hutchinson capped that run af-

ter converting an old-fashioned
three-point play at the 5:32 mark
for a 36-25 cushion.
ISJHS managed to trim its
deficit down to 41-35 after Justin Mahlmesiter converted an
old-fashioned three-pointer with
3:33 left in the canto. The Flyers
were never closer the rest of the
night, as South Gallia closed the
third on a 6-2 run to secure a 4737 lead headed into the finale.
The Rebels took their biggest
lead of the night with 3:57 left
in regulation after a Hutchinson field goal made it a 62-40
contest. St. Joe closed the final
3:42 of play on a 13-6 charge, but
never came closer than five possessions down the stretch.
South Gallia connected on 25of-46 field goal attempts overall,
including a 5-of-11 effort from
three-point range for 45 percent.
SGHS committed 15 turnovers
and also went 13-of-15 at the free

throw line for 87 percent.
Brayden Greer led the Rebels
with a game-high 24 points, followed by Kody Lambert with 15
points and Landon Hutchinson
with 12 markers. Ethan Swain
contributed 10 points to the winning cause, while Gus Slone and
Michael Wheeler respectively
rounded out the winning tally
with four and three markers.
The Flyers made 18-of-54 shot
attempts for 33 percent, including a 4-of-19 effort from behind
the arc for 21 percent. St. Joe
committed 18 turnovers and
also went 13-of-22 at the charity
stripe for 59 percent.
Justin Mahlmeister paced ISJHS with 21 points, followed by
Eli Lewis with eight points and
Chris Lewis with six markers.
Joseph Payton added five points
to the setback, while Hunter
Pemberton and Troy Scott each
contributed four markers.

CONCEPTIS SUDOKU
by Dave Green

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday,
Feb. 21, 2013:
This year, dare to dream. That step
will be important in turning a fantasy
into a reality. Speak up about these
desires. Your immediate circle of
friends might be changing because
you are transforming. A new person
in your life could be quite controlling,
which could become problematic.
Don’t bring this person in close until
you know him or her better. If you
are single, summer 2013 could bring
a very special suitor. Enjoy this connection. If you are attached, you will
be unusually content with each other.
Schedule a wonderful retreat together.
CANCER is as intuitive as you are.
Listen to him or her.
The Stars Show the Kind of Day
You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive;
3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
HHH You have plans, and you are
goal-oriented. Events easily could
change your schedule around in the
morning, which leaves the remainder
of the day to play catch-up. Your intuition guides you through complicated
situations. Tonight: Remain sensitive
to a difficult person.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
HHHH Understand someone’s
opposition. Ask yourself whether this is
a knee-jerk reaction or a well thoughtout response. You have a choice to
make, but approach a power play with
care. If you don’t, it could be a waste
of time. Tonight: Hang out with friends
and family.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
HHH Put the reins on spending if
you see some smoke signals floating
around you. Your response could be
more significant than you are aware of.
Root out the issue with care, and you
probably will be happier as a result.
Tonight: Make weekend plans with
close friends.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
HHHH Listen to others who seek
you out. They might perceive you as
being more powerful than you think
you are. Give yourself space to do
what you feel is necessary, and appreciate that others could be putting you
on a pedestal. Tonight: Follow your
own ideas.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
HHH Respond to situations after
listening to your inner voice. You might
need — and want — to back off, at
least for a little while. Your gregarious
nature could demand a different outlet. Handle what needs to be done in
solitude. Tonight: You don’t have to tell

everyone everything.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
HHHHH Zero in on what needs
to happen. Your creativity might be
challenged by someone, and you’ll
have to come up with quite a few
ideas. Brainstorm with a friend who
often doesn’t agree with you; you will
have several solutions to choose from.
Tonight: Take a stand.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
HHHH Reach out for more information, as you might not have all the
facts. Someone in your domestic life
could let you know how little he or
she thinks you know. Detach from the
situation, and you just might find this
matter to be humorous. Tonight: Good
times happen.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
HHHH Others who are involved
in a project you’re working on will
join you in a brainstorming session.
Whatever the objective of this meeting
is, you’ll find that a certain individual
can be unusually challenging. Don’t
lose sight of your objective. Tonight:
Read between the lines.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
HHHH Understand what is happening with someone. This person might
need you to make more of an effort to
get together. A money issue could be
the root of the problem. Recognize a
liability, and establish a boundary, if
need be. Tonight: Listen rather than
speak.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
HHHH You can be a hard person
to resist. You are more than willing
to play devil’s advocate. You take
this role rather seriously. A person
you play this role with might not be
as secure as you would like. Try to
straighten out this issue. Tonight: Your
treat.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
HHHH If you are able to avoid
a difficult person, you could have a
nearly perfect day. Accomplish what
you must, but take some time for
yourself. Schedule an appointment or
a checkup. Include some exercise, or
take a walk if you can. Tonight: Run
an important errand.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
HHHHH Your creativity comes
forth, which brings you many opportunities. Honor what is happening
around you, and find the space to
incorporate more of a specific experience into your life. You will feel better
as a result. Tonight: Act like this is the
beginning of your weekend.

Crew Chief’s Take: “It’s a superspeedway. Daytona
used to be good when it had character and the cars
had to handle. That made speedway racing a little bit
of fun. You could take the frustration away from qualifying and actually had to go race and make the car
drive good. It’s the hub of our sport; it’s where we start
our season, and there is a ton of history there. And it’s
a great place and a great racetrack, but now that it’s
been repaved, it just doesn’t have any luster. That said,
the January test sessions were huge for everyone with
the new bodies.”

FASTEST GUY IN TOWN It may
surprise many to learn that Jeff
Gordon has only one Daytona
500 pole to his credit — in 1999,
when he also won the event for
the second time in three years.
So how does he feel about coming up just shy this year?
“I guess I’m the fastest guy,
today,” he quipped to the media
on Sunday. “I’m surprised you’re
even talking to me right now. I’m
glad I didn’t win the pole, we
would have messed that (Danica)
story all up!”
SCORE ONE FOR THE LAME
DUCK Kevin Harvick began his
final season with Richard Childress Racing in style, winning
Saturday’s Sprint Unlimited at
Daytona. While many wonder
how Harvick’s No. 29 team will
perform this season knowing the
driver has one foot out the door,
Saturday’s win was a statement.
“That’s one for the lame ducks,”
Harvick said over the radio after
taking the checkered flag. “We’ll
see how many we can get!”
RIGHT PLACE, RIGHT TIME ...
ALMOST Despite feeling a little
“off” on speed, Greg Biffle managed a runner-up showing in
the Sprint Unlimited. Kevin Harvick, Matt Kenseth and Tony
Stewart combined to lead 71 of
the 75 laps, but Biffle got a
good run on Harvick on the final
lap, proving that it’s still about
being in the right place at the
right time at Daytona.
“I thought about sticking (the
nose of the car) in there, and it
just didn’t look like it was
going to work to me,” Biffle
said. “It looked like it would be
sparks and parts flying. He shut
the door on the top — that’s
what Kevin needed to do to win
the race.”
CHOICE OF A NEW GENERATION
NASCAR’s new model car —
dubbed the “Gen-6” — made its
competitive debut in the Sprint
Unlimited. The redesigned
Chevrolet SS, Ford Fusion and
Toyota Camry bodies are designed to bring more brand identity back to the sport. The
previous “Car of Tomorrow”
model signified a departure from
the “Win on Sunday, sell on Monday” mantra that automakers in
Detroit often cited as justification
for the millions they pumped into
the sport. The Gen-6 cars (seen
below) have body lines, wheel
well flares and noses unique to
each make.

Danica Patrick poses in Daytona’s Victory lane after winning the pole for Sunday’s Daytona 500.

ASP, Inc.

Danica wins pole for
Daytona 500
Patrick edges out Jeff Gordon, becomes first female to win a pole in Cup competition

By MATT TALIAFERRO
Athlon Sports Racing Editor

Daytona Beach, Fla., is steeped in
motorsports history. Known as “the
birthplace of speed,” land speed
records have been set on its white
sand beaches. Drivers from a variety
of disciplines have visited its victory
lanes. One of the world’s great monuments to auto racing, the Daytona
International Speedway, sits nestled
within the city limits. Even North
America’s most popular racing series
— NASCAR — was founded at the
Streamline Hotel, just off the beach
in 1947.
On Sunday, Daytona Beach played
host to another motorsports first
when Danica Patrick became the first
female to win a pole in 65 years of
NASCAR competition. And she did
so for the sport’s most prestigious
event, the Daytona 500.
Patrick, who was the eighth of 45
cars to qualify, posted a lap of
196.434 mph. She held off Jeff Gordon (196.292 mph), who will start
second and is the only other driver to
be locked into a qualifying spot on
the gird. The remainder of the field
will be set in Thursday’s Duel 150s.
“It was a fast Chevy,” Patrick said
of her No. 10 GoDaddy.com SS that
also paced the field in Saturday’s
qualifying practice session. “If you’re
anywhere but the front row, it’s hard
to see on race day. This just speaks
volumes about Stewart-Haas Racing
— I thought we were going to be 12-3 for a while.”
Indeed, Patrick’s three-car operation, co-owned by Tony Stewart, was

impressive on pole day. It was Stewart whom she knocked off the top
spot and teammate Ryan Newman
who shared the front row with the
Sprint Cup Rookie of the Year candidate for much of the session. Newman’s time of 195.946 mph
eventually landed him fourth (2011
Daytona 500 champion Trevor Bayne
was third), while Stewart was fifth.
Hendrick Motorsports’ Kasey Kahne
was sixth, the final driver to be guaranteed a spot in the field based solely
on Sunday’s qualifying session.
“I think it shows how hard Stewart-Haas Racing has worked on this
new car,” Patrick said of what
NASCAR is billing as its “Gen-6”
car, that boast bodies unique to each
manufacturer. “And obviously, Hendrick has done a great job giving us
good engines.”
Hendrick Motorsports supplies
SHR with engines, chassis and other
technical support, serving as a mothership of sorts for the five-year old
organization. Stewart acknowledged
the pure speed Hendrick’s powerplants supplied, saying, “I wish I
could say it was her, or myself or
Ryan today, but it’s those guys in the
engine shop.”
Of course, a car going fast by itself
and being competitive in a pack —
which horsepower-sapping restrictor
plates at Daytona dictate — are two
different things. That was apparent in
Saturday night’s Sprint Unlimited exhibition race at the 2.5-mile superspeedway. In that event, Stewart,
along with Joe Gibbs Racing’s Matt
Kenseth, appeared to have the
strongest cars in the 19-car field.

However, it was Kevin Harvick who
emerged with the win after throwing
blocks on Stewart and Ford’s Greg
Biffle on the final lap to secure victory.
And the last pole-sitter to win The
Great American Race? Dale Jarrett,
over a decade ago, in 2000.
But for this week, Patrick will
enjoy the history she made on Sunday. A history that was a long time in
the making, as the previous highest
qualifying female in a Cup race was
Janet Guthrie, who qualified ninth at
Bristol and Talladega in 1977.
“It’s nice to hear families talk about
the fact that a little girl might say,
‘But Mommy, Daddy, that’s a girl out
there.’” Patrick said. “Then they can
have the conversation with their kid
about you can do anything you want
and being different, by any means, allows you to follow your dreams. I
love to think that conversation happens in households because of something I’ve done.”
Harvick wins Sprint Unlimited
Kevin Harvick held off a surging
Greg Biffle on the final lap of Saturday’s Sprint Unlimited at Daytona to
garner his third win in the event.
The Unlimited — formerly the
Busch Clash and Budweiser
Shootout — is comprised of pole
winners on the Sprint Cup circuit
from the previous season as well as
past winners of the race.
The Unlimited was divided into
three segments of 30, 25 and 20 laps.
The first segment was marred by a
six-car accident that eliminated Kurt
Busch, Kyle Busch, Jeff Gordon,
Denny Hamlin, Jimmie Johnson and
Mark Martin.

Classic Moments
Daytona International Speedway
Suffice it to say that, coming into the
2002 Daytona 500, Ward Burton wasn’t on
many prognosticators’ short list of potential winners.
As it turned out, he didn’t let that stop
him. Burton, an underdog driver competing for an underdog Bill Davis Racing organization, beat the odds and a
star-studded field to capture the 44th annual Daytona 500, in the process scoring
one of the biggest upsets in the history of
The Great American Race.
Burton’s path to Victory Lane was hardly
conventional, however, as the slow-talking
Virginia native benefited from the oddest
of circumstances to take over the top spot
in the final laps.
Burton, who inherited the lead when
NASCAR penalized leader Sterling Marlin
for hopping out of his car under a red-flag
period and attempting to repair damage to
his front fender, held off fellow Virginian
Elliott Sadler in a three-lap dash to the
checkers.
Marlin, forced to restart at the tail end
of the longest line, finished eighth and
was denied a third victory in the most
prestigious of all stock-car races.

Fast Fact
On Saturday, Carl Edwards continued a
dubious streak for drivers starting first in
the Sprint Unlimited: The point man hasn’t
won the event since 1989, when the race
was known as the Busch Clash. Edwards
was voted to lead the field to green via fan
vote, which determined to award the top
spot in order of poles won in 2012.
The last man to cash in on the up-front
position was Ken Schrader. The Missouri
native led 15 of the 20 laps in ’89 en route
to a three car-length victory.
