Caravan sings, prays at medical facilities By Sarah Hawley shawley@aimmediamidwest.com POMEROY — Medical workers are on the front lines of the COVID-19 pandemic, working to meet the needs of patients across the nation. On Tuesday afternoon, a group from around the area visited both the Holzer Meigs Emergency Department and Holzer Hospital in Gallipolis, singing, praying for the workers and thanking them for the work they are doing. Karla Brown, one of the organizers, explained that seeing similar acts across the country led to the decision to do the song and prayer caravan on Tuesday. ”I’d love to say the idea just came to me, but honestly I had seen videos of it happening at other medical facilities across the country. I also had a good friend, Andrea Venoy, who posted a video of a group at the hospital where her daughter works. Andrea was very instrumental in getting things set up,” said Brown via email. A post to her personal social media page on Monday got things started, calling for anyone who wanted to participate to meet at the Meigs ER on Tuesday afternoon. ”We initially got some negative feedback from people who It’s surreal to stand several feet away from masked caregivers and try to express to them how much you appreciate the fact that every single day they are willingly putting their lives on the line for you and those you love.

Those who know Chris know that he would not refuse a call for help. This past weekend he received such a call. Our Creator needed another good, honest, and hardworking man on his team. Chris could not refuse this call. It had a hidden benefit of seeing his late father, Elva “Hootie” Haye, his grandparents, and other very dear friends and family members that passed over before him. He leaves behind a loving wife, Kymberlyn Tattrie-Haye; his mother, Phylis Haye; a brother, Philp Haye; a sister, Pam Manley; a son, Christopher Haye; two daughters, Sherry Haye, and Misty Coates; and several grandchildren. Chris was born Oct. 14, 1955, in Huntington, W.Va., and resided in and around Meigs County for most of his life. He was employed as a crane operator for Amhurst Madison for 32 years before retiring. Much of his work can still be seen around the islands, and along the banks of the Ohio River. If you ever rode in a car with him you would see his chest puff up with pride as he pointed out the many conservation, preservation, and beautification projects that he was a part of. He loved being a crane operator and the great men that he worked alongside of. After retiring Chris really enjoyed being a hobby farmer and playing with his grandchildren. Chris was truly a great man. Loving, compassionate, charitable, and good friend to those who knew him. Interment will be in the Greenwood Cemetery, Racine. The Cremeens-King Funeral Home, Racine is entrusted with the arrangements.

As hot spots flared around the U.S. in places like New Orleans, Detroit and Southern California, the nation’s biggest city was the hardest hit of them all, accounting for most of the state’s dead, with bodies loaded onto refrigerated morgue trucks by gurney and forklift outside overwhelmed hospitals, in full view of passing motorists. And the worst is yet to come. “How does it end? And people want answers,” New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said. “I want answers. The answer is nobody knows for sure.” Across the U.S., Americans braced for what President Donald Trump warned on Tuesday could be “one of the roughest two or three weeks we’ve ever had in our country.” The White House projected 100,000 to 240,000 deaths in the U.S. before the crisis is over, and Vice President Mike Pence said models for the outbreak show the country on a trajectory akin to hard-hit Italy’s. Under growing pressure, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis belatedly joined Cuomo and governors in more than 30 states in issuing a statewide stay-home order, taking action after conferring with fellow Republican Trump. The governors of Pennsylvania and Nevada, both Democrats, took similar steps. Mississippi’s GOP was expected to follow suit. Meanwhile, European nations facing extraordinary demand for intensive-care beds are putting up makeshift hospitals, unsure whether they will find enough healthy medical staff to run them. London is days away from unveiling a 4,000-bed temporary hospital built in a huge convention center.

According to Gallia Health Department’s Tyler Schweickart, the department investigates positive infection cases by first seeing whether the infected individual traveled to an area with positive COVID-19 cases in the prior two weeks. The department also makes certain to speak with the positively-tested individual’s family members or anyone who may have come in contact with them. If the department finds symptomatic individuals, they are placed under isolation protocols and those who are showing no symptoms are placed in quarantine for two weeks. The health department continues to seek those who came into contact with symptomatic individuals, starting with the original positive case patient until they find contacts without symptoms. Those individuals are then asked to monitor themselves for any developing symptoms. Organizations and businesses a positivelytested patient may have visited are alerted to the possibility of contact. The health department then follows the line of any individuals displaying symptoms. Should the health department believe that an individual who was infected attended a larger, public location, the department would contact the location and make a public announcement asking for individuals who had traveled to the location at a specific time in question to contact the department.

Submitted story Andrew Saul, commissioner of Social Security, reminds the public that Social Security and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefit payments will continue to be paid on time during the COVID-19 pandemic. The agency also reminds everyone to be aware of scammers who try to take advantage of the pandemic to trick people into providing personal information or payment via retail gift cards, wire transfers, internet currency, or by mailing cash, to maintain Social Security benefit payments or receive economic impact payments from the Department of the Treasury. “Social Security will ‘Click and Collect’ grocery shopping for families Submitted story COLUMBUS, OHIO — Grocery stores and other retailers can offer online “click and collect” grocery shopping and curbside pickup for families in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services (ODJFS) learned this week. Families also can place orders over the phone. “This is a welcome development in these challenging times,” said ODJFS Director Kimberly Hall. “It will help keep families safe as we all work together to limit social distancing and stay healthy during the COVID-19 pandemic.” If grocery stores have wireless mobile pointof-sale (POS) devices, they can swipe recipients’ EBT cards at curbside. If they do not have mobile POS devices, recipients still can order food in advance and go into the store to pay and pick up their groceries. Retailers also have the option to process manual vouchers at curbside. Grocers cannot accept the EBT card number over the phone. To ease administrative burdens and ensure that families have access to food throughout the pandemic, ODJFS also requested and received approval to extend by six months the recertification eligibility periods for March, April, and May. The agency also requested and received federal approval for all SNAP recipients to receive the maximum benefit possible for their families in March and April. Individuals may qualify for SNAP if their household’s gross monthly income is at or under 130 percent of the federal poverty guidelines. To apply, visit benefits.ohio.gov. Benefits can be used to buy most food products, with the exception of alcoholic beverages, vitamins and/or medicines, and hot food made to be eaten immediately, including prepared food from grocery stores and restaurants.

Curbside orders may include prescriptions, grocery items, over-the-counter medications, paper/household goods, cleaning supplies, candy, gifts, and more.

Appalachian Power announces maintenance plans (Editor’s note: This press release provided by Appalachian Power.) Submitted story CHARLESTON, W.Va. — Beginning on or about June 1, Appalachian Power will maintain the rights of way for some power lines in West Virginia by applying herbicides by helicopter. “The company generally makes aerial maintenance applications only in less populated areas where terrain and accessibility make it difficult for ground-based crews to safely clear rights of way,” said Travis Klinebriel, utility forester. Rights of way in populated areas, as well as near parks, ponds and other sensitive areas are maintained by other means. Customers with questions about the company’s aerial maintenance program can call a toll-free number, 1-800-642-3622, for information. Customers also can write for information at Appalachian Power, Attn: Transmission Forestry, P.O. Box 1986, Charleston, WV 25327. “Herbicides used by AEP and Appalachian Power have been registered for use on rights of way by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the West Virginia Department of Agriculture (WVDoA),” Klinebriel said. Herbicides to be used are glyphosate, imazapyr, metsulfuron methyl, fosamine, triclopyr, aminocyclopyrachlor and aminopyralid. Each has been extensively tested by the manufacturer, colleges and governmental and independent research laboratories. Rigid EPA and WVDoA restrictions and regulations are carefully observed by Appalachian Power contractors in applying herbicides. All areas to be treated are visually checked by helicopter pilots in advance to verify the location of any sensitive areas and to ensure that people or domestic animals are not visible in the area to be maintained. All applications are made by contractors who are certified applicators. Questions concerning these herbicides may be addressed to the EPA and the WVDoA. Right of way maintenance agreements between Appalachian Power and landowners are available to landowners who prefer to accept responsibility for clearing the right of way crossing their property in lieu of aerial application of herbicides. The agreement compensates the landowner by an amount equivalent to the cost of aerial herbicide application, provided the work meets Appalachian’s specifications. Residents who have questions about the program or who want to alert the company to the location of sensitive areas near power lines, such as springs, wells, streams, lakes, ponds, orchards, crop areas, gardens, pastures, meadows, year-round dwellings, public recreation areas and Christmas tree plantations, should also contact the company. To prevent any misunderstanding about the location of the sensitive areas being reported, the number of the nearest pole or tower should be provided. Numbers are posted on utility poles and on one leg of utility towers. After the maintenance program begins, a 24-hour telephone service at the above number will provide information daily on locations scheduled for maintenance. Complaints about possible damage resulting from herbicide applications should be made by contacting Appalachian Power at its toll-free number or the above addresses.

Walk From page 1A We are hosting the event on Facebook (link here: https://www.facebook.com/ events/455714181786064/). In such uncertain times, it is necessary for us to continue spreading the message of suicide prevention and awareness. Though we cannot be together physically like the years before, this year we hope to remain connected while practicing social distancing and supporting an amazing cause. As one of the newest board members of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP) Ohio Chapter, I want to tell you 50% of the funds raised stay in the Ohio chapter to provide education and resources to schools and communities in Ohio and the other half of donations goes to the national AFSP organization to further research and create evidencebased programs to combat suicide. Ohio’s suicide rate is higher than the national average for ages 15 through 44 (United Health Foundation, 2020). An Ohio State University study found higher rates of suicide in rural areas, areas prone to higher rates of underemployment, poverty, and less resources (Crane, 2019). Areas that resemble locations the University of Rio Grande serves. Hence the importance of continuing this walk, even in virtual spirit. I and the URG Out of the Darkness Campus Walk Committee invite you to join us on April 18th for the virtual walk! We will be going live and have different guests, share coping skills, and stories of survival and support. If you’d like to participate in any capacity, please contact me at cruggles@rio.edu.

Sunday, April 5 Saturday, April 4 BURLINGHAM — The Burlingham Cemetery Association public meeting scheduled for Saturday, Ohio From page 1A Fight COVID-19. The collaborative public-private partnership will coordinate efforts to provide healthcare workers and first responders with the personal protective equipment (PPE). “This new alliance will work to more quickly mobilize every manufacturer capable of helping us make PPE and win the fight against our lethal enemy,” said Governor DeWine in a news release. “This effort is important because it not only enables us to meet the immediate challenges, but it will also strengthen our PPE supply chains permanently so we are not dependent on other countries moving forward.” The alliance includes: Ohio Manufacturers’ Association, Ohio Hospital Association, Ohio Manufacturing Extension Partnership, Manufacturing Advocacy and Growth Network, nursing home organizations, JobsOhio, Ohio Department of Administrative Services, Ohio Development Services Agency, and the Ohio Department of Health. The alliance is working to identify and match the critical needs of Ohio’s healthcare system with companies willing and able to repurpose production to meet those needs. Manufacturers that can help should visit RepurposingProject.com for more information. Those involved with this project will be compensated. Ohio Department of Health Director Dr. Amy Acton signed an order during the news conference related to testing. Under the order, which is designed to give a faster turnaround on results, all hospitals that cannot conduct their own tests must send the specimens to one of the other hospitals which can handle the test. Currently, those labss include: The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, Cleveland Clinic, University Hospitals in Cleveland, and MetroHealth. Other labs with testing capacity may be added to this list in the future. “These labs have a massive capacity that isn’t being fully utilized right now, and these labs can turn around results more quickly than what private labs have been doing,” said Governor DeWine. “Getting test results more quickly provides peace of mind to patients and their families and gives us the best data possible so we can make decisions about where to allocate resources.” The Ohio Department of Health will continue to analyze tests for the most critical patients, including hospitalized and symptomatic healthcare workers. The order also directs hospitals to immediately begin utilizing new rapid tests as soon as they become available in an organized framework utilizing freestanding emergency departments, urgent care centers, free-standing ambulatory surgery centers that are not in use due to postponement of elective surgeries, and hospital multi-use healthcare facilities that house a lab service. In order to help limit exposure to some of Ohio’s most vulnerable residents, DeWine announced the SNAP “click and connect” which will allow SNAP recipients to shop online and do curbside pickup where available.

Stores are asking that customers: Shop patiently; Limit shopping trips; Shop alone, when possible; Stay home when you’re not feeling well; Wash/sanitize hands before and after; Don’t touch your face while shopping; Wear a mask/ gloves if you can; Shop online for curbside pickup/delivery where available. DeWine signed an executive order on Wednesday which issues a “plea” to landlords and lenders to work with small businesses and suspend payments for at least 90 days. During her comments at the news conference, Dr. Acton reminded everyone to “be kind” to one another, and that “everyone we interact with is going through the same stress.” She added that, “Just like the virus is contagious, our moods are contagious.” When asked how quickley she saw the state coming out of this following the “surge”, Acton stated, “I wish I could give you hope about your summer, but the truth is if the curve peaks in May, it will be a slow process to get to the end of the curve.” Governor DeWine was asked about businesses which have reopened which are non-essential. “This is a national emergency. What people do in their lives is normally their own business. But when what you do endangers other people, we have to take action,” said DeWine. He noted that local authorities do have the ability to enforce the order when a non-essential business refuses to close. As for churches which continue to meet during the pandemic, DeWine stated, “Anyone who goes into a big AVAILABLE ASSISTANCE Federal funding is available to State and eligible local governments and certain private nonprofit organizations for emergency protective measures, including direct Federal assistance, for all areas in the State of Ohio impacted by COVID-19. group of people is making a very, very serious mistake.

Any pastor who brings a group of people together — it’s a huge mistake.” DeWine stated that an additional order is coming on Thursday to further address some of the matters asked about during the news conference. As of the Wednesday update at 2 p.m., Ohio has 2,547 confirmed cases of COVID-19 (this number does not include the two newly reported Gallia County cases).

So now you’re bunching a lot of kids together, and we’ll see how it plays out. “As far as this year, the impact is minimal. What is of greater impact is what Major League Baseball does with their draft.” The draft always plays a role in roster management, but there’s additional stress for coaches and players this year. Because of the pandemic, MLB might not hold the draft until late July, and there’s no clarity about number of rounds. For the first time in its nearly century-and-a-half history, Wimbledon was canceled for a reason other than war, scrapped in 2020 on Wednesday because of the coronavirus pandemic. With Britain under a nationwide lockdown, the All England Club announced its decision to call off its storied twoweek grass-court tennis tournament, something that hadn’t happened to the sport’s oldest Grand Slam event in 75 years. “It has weighed heavily on our minds that the staging of The Championships has only been interrupted previously by World Wars,” club chairman Ian Hewitt said, “but, following thorough and extensive consideration of all scenarios, we believe that it is a measure of this global crisis that it is ultimately the right decision to cancel this year’s Championships, and instead concentrate on how we can use the breadth of Wimbledon’s resources to help those in our local communities and beyond.” Wimbledon was scheduled to be played on the outskirts of London from June 29 to July 12. Instead, the next edition of the tournament will be June 28 to July 11, 2021. Eight-time Wimbledon champion Roger Federer surely spoke for many tennis players, officials and fans with a one-word message on Twitter: “Devastated.” Also Wednesday, the ATP and WTA announced that the men’s and women’s professional tours would be suspended until at least July 13, bringing the number of elite tennis tournaments affected by the new coronavirus since early March to more than 30. The top tours already had been on hold through June 7. Lower-level events on the Challenger Tour and ITF World Tennis Tour also are called off for the first two weeks of July now. Wimbledon first was held in 1877 and has been contested every year since, with the exception of two stretches: from 1915-18 because of World War I, and from 1940-45 because of World War II. Now the prestigious tournament — known for its carefully manicured grass, its Royal Box at Centre Court, its rules about wearing white, its strawberries and cream and, alas, its rain delays — joins the growing list of major sports events called off in 2020 because of the COVID-19 outbreak. That includes the Tokyo Olympics — which have been pushed back 12 months — and the NCAA men’s and women’s college basketball tournaments. Wimbledon is the first Grand Slam tournament wiped out because of the coronavirus; the start of the French Open was See NCAA | 4B See WIMBLEDON | 2B Alex Hawley | OVP Sports Pictured are members of the 2020 Eastern High School softball team.

Arrowood named new Rio basketball coach By Randy Payton For Ohio Valley Publishing RIO GRANDE, Ohio — The University of Rio Grande’s national search for a new men’s basketball head coach ended up taking a circuitous route to where it began. The school announced the hiring of Ryan Arrowood as the new bench boss of the RedStorm Tuesday evening. Arrowood, a former player and assistant coach at Rio, spent the past five seasons as the head coach at Teays Valley (WV) Christian School where he compiled a 102-44 record. He replaces Ken French, who was relieved of his duties after 14 seasons following the conclusion of the 2019-20 campaign. “For anybody who plays a sport in college, to come back home is always a dream. For me, this is absolutely a dream come true,” Arrowood said. “I have amazing memories of Rio, not only as a player but as a coach. Now, to be there as the head coach, I couldn’t be more excited.” Arrowood, a graduate of Hannan High School in neighboring Mason County, W.Va., where he was a two-time Class A all-state selection, began Courtesy photo Ryan Arrowood, shown here coaching Teays Valley (WV) Christian School last season, was hired as the new men’s basketball head coach at the University of Rio Grande on Tuesday evening. his coaching career as an assistant at his alma mater for the 2006-07 season. He took over as head coach of the Wildcats for each of the next two seasons before returning to Rio Grande to serve as an assistant coach and the junior varsity head coach from 2009-11. Arrowood’s return to Rio also saw him complete bachelor’s degrees in both Physical Education and Health Education in 2009 and a master’s degree in Educational Leadership in 2011. “We’re happy and excited to welcome Ryan back to the Rio family. His energy and passion will bring a renewed sense of excitement to Rio basketball,” said Rio Grande athletic director Jeff Latham. “His knowledge of the Rio basketball tradition as a former player and coach, in addition to the coaching experience he has, made him an outstanding selection.” Arrowood also spent one season as an assistant coach at nowdefunct Mountain State University and three seasons at national high school power Huntington (WV) Prep before taking the head coaching position of the new national high school program at Teays Valley Christian. During his tenure with the Lions, Arrowood’s teams posted seven wins over teams ranked in the national Top 25. His squad was ranked as high as No. 23 in the USA Today Super 25 in 2019. Over the course of his coaching career, Arrowood has coached five players who are currently on or who have been on an NBA roster, in addition to three McDonald’s AllAmericans. Still, the opportunity to return to Rio Grande yet again was one that Arrowood said he couldn’t pass up. “When we had kids come in (at TVCS) I told them that there was probably only a couple of jobs that I’d leave for and Rio Grande was always at the top of that list,” he said. “But I’m proud of what we’re leaving at Teays Valley — the top nine in the rotation from a team that won 20 games and a team that’s probably going to be in the preseason Top 25. I made some amazing memories and some great relationships there, but this is once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for me. I really couldn’t see me leaving Teays Valley for any other job outside of this one.” Arrowood’s biggest immediate obstacle might be filling a roster. Two seniors from the 2019-20 team — forward Greg Wallace and guard Hadith Tiggs — concluded their respective collegiate careers, while a number of other would-be returners — including sophomore guard Gunner Short, the team’s leading scorer — asked for, and were granted, their releases to explore opportunities elsewhere following French’s dismissal. Further compounding the task at hand are the See ARROWOOD | 4B NCAA throws baseball coaches a curve with added eligibility By Eric Olson The Associated Press Widely hailed as the right thing to do for student-athlete welfare, the NCAA’s decision to extend spring sports athletes’ eligibility a year because of the coronavirus pandemic is causing consternation for baseball coaches. Ohio State’s Greg Beals said Tuesday he isn’t worried about 2021, when the 35-man roster limit will be relaxed to accommodate seniors choosing to return for another season. The problem comes in 2022, when the limit is back in force. Beals has 11 freshmen coming in this fall, and they will join nine players who will be reclassified as freshmen because the 2021 season ended abruptly March 12. “So I have a freshman class of 20, and that class is going to stay with me for the next four years,” Beals said. “So there’s some challenge there. We’re going to be able to work through it. There’s going to be some tough conversations while the roster is thick and strong. The lineup card still only has nine slots on it.” The NCAA allows a total of 11.7 scholarships per team in Division I baseball, and it’s required they be divided among 27 players. Eight walk-ons are permitted, taking the roster maximum to 35. Baseball is the only spring sport with a roster limit. Seniors who choose to return in 2021 will be allowed to have the same scholarship amount they had this year, less or none at all. Returning seniors’ scholarships won’t count against the 11.7 limit. Looming logjams because of the extended eligibility could force coaches to sign smaller recruiting classes and nudge �SPORTS/CLASSIFIEDS 2B Thursday, April 2, 2020 Daily Sentinel NFL owners vote to expand playoffs Wimbledon By Barry Wilner postponed from late May to late September. Shortly after the news came from Wimbledon, the U.S. Tennis Association issued a statement saying it “still plans to host the U.S. Open as scheduled,” from Aug. 31 to Sept. 13 in New York. As of now, the French Open is set to begin six days after the men’s final at Flushing Meadows, where a facility housing indoor practice courts is now a temporary 350-bed hospital and Louis Armstrong Stadium is being used to prepare 25,000 meal packages per day for patients, workers, volunteers and schoolchildren in the city. Wednesday’s decision by the All England Club means Novak Djokovic and Simona Halep will not get a chance to defend their Wimbledon titles from 2019. “We are going through something bigger than tennis and Wimbledon will be back!” Halep wrote on social media. “And it means I have even longer to look forward to defending my title.” Serena Williams retweeted the club’s message about the cancellation and wrote: “I’m Shooked.” The move takes away what might have been one of Federer’s best chances to try to add to his men’s-record 20 Grand Slam titles. Federer, who turns 39 in August, is recovering from knee surgery and planned to return in time for the European grass-court circuit that now has been erased from the calendar. In a statement last week, the All England Club said that postponing the two-week event would not come “without significant risk and difficulty” because of the grass surface that is affected by weather conditions. The club also said then that it had ruled out “playing behind closed doors” without spectators. Hundreds of thousands of people have caught COVID-19 around the globe, and tens of thousands have died. For most people, the new coronavirus causes mild or moderate symptoms, which can include fever and cough, but also milder cases of pneumonia, sometimes requiring hospitalization. The All England Club said it would work to help with the emergency response to the pandemic, including distributing medical equipment and food and offering the use of their facilities in other ways. Regular day-to-day life has come to a halt in many ways in many parts of the world in recent weeks, and sports has reflected that. The NBA, NHL and Major League Baseball are on hold indefinitely; the Kentucky Derby and Indianapolis 500 were pushed back several months until September; England’s Premier League and other club soccer competitions are currently suspended; and the European soccer championship — scheduled to end in London on the same day as the Wimbledon men’s final — was postponed from 2020 to 2021. “I have been fortunate to go to Wimbledon every year since 1961, and I am certainly going to miss it this year,” said Billie Jean King, who won a total of 20 trophies at the All England Club — six for singles, 10 for women’s doubles, four for mixed doubles. “Right now, we need to make sure we are taking good care of ourselves and our loved ones. These are challenging times for all of us and now is the time for us to do what is right for our world and what works for our sport.” focus has been on a normal traditional season, starting on time, playing The NFL is gearing up before fans in our regular stadiums and going for a normal season and playoffs — with two addi- through our full 16-game tional wild-card teams in regular season and a full playoffs.” the Super Bowl chase.

Three games are set for Saturday and Sunday, Jan. 9-10 — pending the NFL schedule going forward as planned; that schedule likely will be released on May 9, according to Brian Rolapp, the league’s chief media and business officer, to give the NFL “flexibility.” CBS will broadcast one of the new games on Jan. 10 at approximately 4:40 p.m. EST. The game will also be available via live stream on CBS All Access. A separately produced telecast of the game tailored for a younger audience will air on Nickelodeon. NBC, its new streaming service Peacock and Spanish-language Telemundo will broadcast the other new game on Jan. 10 at approximately 8:15 p.m. EST. “It’s definitely going to be different,” Washington Redskins linebacker Thomas Davis said. “It’s going to be weird. Essentially, the second team (in each conference) is being penalized for being a good football team. “It just makes it more competitive, it adds more teams in and it allows teams that are hot late in the season like the Titans to be able to make a run — a team that might not normally be in the playoffs are getting that opportunity.

If there are five or 10 rounds instead of the usual 40, juniors and seniors who aren’t projected to go in the early rounds would be apt to return to school. The more rounds there are, the more likely there’ll be fewer junior and seniors returning. The fall semester could be drawing close before the numbers are known. “You’ve got freshmen that are coming in that were counting on those seniors and juniors leaving or going to the draft,” Mississippi athletic director Keith Carter said, “so what does that look like for the young players and does that change the dynamic with them?” Junior colleges stand to be the beneficiary of the uncertainty.

NATIONAL CITIES McArthur 59/33 Very High Primary: birch/maple/elm Mold: 37 Moderate Chillicothe 58/33 got four calls in one day from advisers for high school seniors looking for a fallback plan if they aren’t drafted and the Division I schools they signed with have clogged rosters. “Some kids who are signed with four-year schools coming out of high school are a little apprehensive about it and want to make sure they get somewhere they can have a chance to develop and play,” Rardin said. An NCAA spokeswoman said rules remain unchanged for players who decide to transfer from one Division I school to another. The extended eligibility travels with them, but the scholarship they receive would count against the 11.7 limit this year. If a junior-college transfer’s 2020 season ended because of the pandemic, his Division I school could apply for a waiver to extend that student’s NCAA eligibility. Graduate transfers can play immediately and could receive the same, less or more aid than they did at their previous school. 72° 46° Pleasant with times of clouds and sun Logan 58/32 NCAA SUNDAY 68° 46° Shown is today’s weather.
