Alabama Museum of Natural History. Smith Hall, University of Alabama campus, Tuscaloosa. Founded in 1847, the Alabama Museum of Natural History holds collections of natural history, geology, mineralogy, paleontology, ethnology, zoology, and botany that are among the oldest in the state, many dating to the Civil War.

Gorgas House. University of Alabama campus. Built in 1829, the Gorgas House was the first structure on the University of Alabama campus and was one of a few buildings to survive the 1865 burning of the campus during the Civil War. Designed as a hotel or "steward's hall," the house originally served as a dining hall for University of Alabama cadets. Now a house museum and education center, the building is known as the Gorgas House because Josiah Gorgas, a former Confederate general who served briefly as president of The University of Alabama, moved there in the late 19th century with his wife, Amelia Gayle Gorgas, who served as the University librarian, and their family. Their son, William Crawford Gorgas, was surgeon general of the U.S. Armed Forces in WWI and is famous for eliminating yellow fever, assuring construction of the Panama Canal. The house is open Monday–Friday, 10:00 a.m.–4:00 p.m., unless rented for a private event. The house is closed for University holidays. Admission is charged.

Elk numbers are way down in the Bitterroot right now. In fact, they are talking about making most of the area limited next year. However, Remi has a great reputation for putting hunters on game, if they are willing to work for it.
Well, I have been meaning to join this forum so I finally did it. Seems to be full of useful information. First off, does anyone know anything about Montana Outwest Outfitters with Remi Warren? I am going on an elk hunt with my dad there in a few weeks. Its too late now but I just thought I would see if anyone knows anything about him or the area. Thanks and I look forward to the forum!
Elk numbers are way down in the Bitterroot right now. In fact, they are talking about making most of the area limited next year. However, Remi has a great reputation for putting hunters on game, if they are willing to work for it.
Thanks Bitterroot! I'm hoping there is still a decent chance of us killing a couple? I also have a mule deer tag in Unit 240? Does anyone have any information about that area?
240 is mostly extremely rugged with low deer densities. There are areas with some good deer in 240. Your outfitter should have some leads. As you probably know, he tagged a whopper with his bow on the hard-to-draw side of the valley.
Chances of killing a legal (browtine) bull with a good guide are OK (I think total hunter success is around 15-20%, which isn't bad), but it is not known as a trophy area. A 280-300 bull is upper end. Total elk numbers are a fraction of 6-8 years ago.
I'm sure you will have a great time anyway!
Thanks again. Yeah I applied for unit 270 where Remi shot that huge mulie but of course I didn't draw. I have never killed an elk so while I am looking to get a nice one, I just simply want to get A bull. It will be a good trip for me and my dad no matter what, but Im hoping to bring something home considering we can both shoot a deer and an elk. I cant wait to go!
Is the muley you all are talking about the one they showed on SOLO HUNTERS tv show? If so that is a MONSTER, hope you guys can draw that area in the near future, looked like some nice country. Good luck on the hunt NEHUNTER!
Hello NEHUNTER... Did you already go on your trip? Curious to see how you did.
Welcome to Eastman's Forums, Montana.
It is nice to see another Bitterrooter here.
Thank you... Looks like a fun site. How's the season been? Any luck?
So far so good: One muley, one antelope. I haven't punched my elk tag yet, but I have passed on a few bulls.

But I don't see anywhere to set SMTP settings, and the "validate and save" function just keeps erroring out saying it can't connect to the SMTP server. Well, duh, I didn't put in any SMTP server, so of course it can't connect!!

Royals HOF Class of 2008: Art Stewart
Art Stewart is the longest tenured associate with the club and, this season, he'll be honored for his dedication and contribution to the Royals.
We just announced that Art – who can often be found scouting Royals games from his seat behind home plate at Kauffman Stadium – will be inducted into the Royals Hall of Fame in 2008.
Congratulations, Art!
Following is the official release from Media Relations.
KANSAS CITY, MO (Jan. 29, 2006) — Art Stewart, the Royals Senior Advisor to General Manager Dayton Moore, will represent the Kansas City Royals Hall of Fame class of 2008, becoming the 23rd member of the elite group. On-field induction ceremonies will be scheduled at a later date.
"There is no one more deserving of this prestigious honor than Art Stewart," Royals President Dan Glass said. "He has devoted over 50 years to the game of baseball, the last 39 with the Kansas City Royals organization. His passion and knowledge is an inspiration to everyone in the baseball community."
Stewart, entering his 39th season with the Royals, is the longest tenured associate in the organization. The 2007 winner of the Roland Hemond Award, presented by Baseball America for long-time service in scouting and player development, has held the position of Senior Advisor to the General Manager since 1997 after serving as the Royals Director of Scouting from 1984-96.
During Stewart's tenure as Director of Scouting, the Royals were named Major League Baseball Organization of the Year by USA Today in 1984, Baseball America in 1994, and Topps in 1984-85 and 1994-95. Stewart drafted more than 70 players that reached the Major Leagues, including Bo Jackson, Kevin Appier, Brian McRae, Mike Sweeney, Johnny Damon, Joe Randa and Carlos Beltran. He is a 15-year member on the Major League Scouting Bureau Board of Directors.
Stewart has played a major role in the origination of the Royals Dominican program, helping the club start the Salcedo Academy in the Dominican Republic. Stewart was recognized in 1998 when the former Royals Academy building was named in his honor.
Before joining the Royals front office, he spent 16 years covering the Midwest as a Royals scout. He began his career in professional baseball in 1953 as a territorial scout for the New York Yankees and was the Midwest Scouting Supervisor from 1958-69.
Stewart has received numerous awards during his 54 years in baseball, including the Ewing M. Kauffman Scouting Award in 1970 and 1983. In 1998 he received an award "For Long Meritorious Service to Baseball" from colleagues and the Topps Company. He received the Bing Devine Executive of the Year Award at the second St. Louis Major League Scouts Hall of Fame Banquet in 1998 and was named "Mister Baseball" at the 29th Kansas City Royals Awards Banquet in January of 1999. Stewart was honored prior to the 2002 season at the Pitch and Hit Club of Chicago's 56th Annual Dinner with the prestigious Baseball Excellence Award, given for meritorious service to the game of baseball.

Is the Neutrogena endorsement becoming the Chunky's Soup of beauty campaigns? Most of the fresh-faced starlets who have appeared in Neutrogena's skincare commercials have ended up with fizzling careers. There are a few notable exceptions, like Jennifer Garner and Gabrielle Union. But for the most part, the list of Neutrogena spokesmodels is a collection of also-rans. Curse or no curse, I'd suggest Kristen Bell watch her back.

Towers Will Remain Open
Feds find funding for airport facilities that were slated to close
May 11, 2013
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Federal Aviation Administration will keep open for now the 149 control towers at small airports that were slated to close as the result of governmentwide automatic spending cut......
Just another abuse of power by this administration.
This guy is just so petty!

Targeting key services, safety services, to try to get us to pressure Republicans to kick the budget can down the road one more time is the kind of government conduct we expect from people who don't project Obama's image of being man of the people. He chooses key services to strangle and yet in the last seven weeks has sent (unbudgeted) funds the Middle East as happy money. $450 million to Libyas Islamic regime, $450 to Egypt's new Islamic regime and just last week the proposal to send $250 million more the Syrian rebels who don't see to have any citizen support. Their AlQuida contigent may have used a WMD according the the UN. So, Obama tells us the GOP House is keeping us from key services and yet sends a billion to regimes that hate us, have even killed us. Can we not find a moderate, pro America candidate in the Dem Party to be President? Now you must completey disconnect the reality of what Obama does from the image that he projects. He is in fact an awful President.

This was ALL for show. The Corrupt Obama Administration COULD have cut in areas that were NOT so visible to the public but they did CRAP like this to attempt to pizz off the public then try to blame REPUBLICAN politicians for it.
They cut White House tours because it $18,000 a month.
The month before Joe Biden spent $595,000 for ONE NIGHT at a Paris Hotel!
Two years before Obama spent over $1 BILLION in an extravagant vacation to India.
The security for one round of OBAMA GOLD (he has played over 112 rounds) is more than $100,0000.
This little exercise was BULLLLLLLLSPIT from the getgo.

When a sniper begins gunning down cops from the 87th Precinct in cold blood, it's up to Detective Steve Carella to solve the case. With three cops already dead, Carella delves into the city's underworld to search for the killer.
©1990 Ed McBain (P)2013 Brilliance Audio, Inc.
"McBain has the ability to make every character believable - which few writers these days can do." (Associated Press)
"McBain forces us to think twice about every character we meet…even those we thought we already knew." (New York Times Book Review)
"1950's Noir..."
Really enjoyed this trip down memory lane. This police procedural takes you back to a time before CSI forensics and the "bulls" were the king of the streets and tough as nails. Corruption, abuse, and sex was part of a "bulls" every day life. being nice did not solve crimes. I find McBain's characters to be realistic and not as one dimensional as Elmore Leonard. Light, entertaining stories with a nostalgic flair. I recommend and am in the process of reading "The Mugger".
Desert Aries
"Dang, it's about time for the 87th Precinct"
First of all, it's cops, it's hardboiled detective fiction, it's an old, old book, and Dick Hill narrates. For a mystery buff, that's all it should take to buy this novel.
One feature this book has that I really appreciated is the author's preface from the late Evan Hunter (née Salvatore Albert Lombino). In it Hunter/McBain tells the backstory of the 87th Precinct series. Despite the fact I had read the entire series, it answered questions about why and what went into the books.
One of McBain's techniques was inserting police forms and criminal notes into the book, these visuals don't translate well and slow the book's flow, but I don't know how else the audio team could handle them.
The book is the first in a series and it's crucial to begin to learn the members of the Precinct and watch them grow, age and evolve over the next 25 or so books. They grow, marry, divorce, die, kill, and solve crime after crime. Police tactics and interaction with citizens, witnesses and criminals also evolve. Remember that the first book predates the Miranda warning.
The books are hardboiled detective fiction. Gruff, growling dialogue, vivid narration, and you'll be enthralled. The books show their age in slang and idioms, but over all it's groovy. Oh wait, that'll be in like, book 15 or so.
So download, pour yourself a rye on the rocks, turn off all the lights but the one by your chair, and listen. Dang, you'll love it. Just remember when it was written.
"Good Writing, Great Narration"
Surprising well written. Best part was Dick Hill's narration especially his description of the sudden rain after a heat wave in the era before AC. Beginning of Chapter 16.
First 2 minutes of Chapter 16; Dick Hill may be overly dramatic, but it's very entertaining!
Written during a time before CSI and Law and Order, Cop Hater takes the reader back to a time when police work was pounding the pavement. No technology, no women in the workplace, "foreigners" looked at as if they were exotic animals, smoking indoors and everyone dressed in their Sunday best, are just a few things that make Cop Hater so enjoyable. The reader has to figure out the who-dun-it without the cell phone records or DNA evidence. It makes you wonder, how did anything ever get done before David Caruso and his Aviator sunglasses?
"Dick Hill as a narrator"
did not like the narrator so couldn't finish listening. Don't think I will listen to Dickinson Hill again.
"50's Cop Novel"
The first book "Cop Killer" was set against a heatwave in the middle of Summer.
The second book "The Mugger" takes place in Fall (Autumn).
I happened to read both books during the seasons they were written about. I was impressed with McBain's atmospheric writing, perhaps because I experienced the seasons as he was describing them.
McBain describes the city as if it were a woman (his words) and the reader can thus feel the dress sticking to her skin; Whether it is the sweltering summer sweat, or leaves falling around her ankles onto wet pavement.
Once the mood is set, the actors are introduced: the criminals and the crimes they perpetrate, the enforcers of peace, and the families at home.
"The body lay outside an abandoned, boarded-up theater. The theater had started as a first-run movie house, many years back when the neighborhood had still been fashionable. As the neighborhood began rotting, the theater began showing second-run films, and then old movies, and finally foreign-language films."
- Ed Mccain from "Cop Hater"
By todays standards Mccain's writing may seem quaint, but it captures the essence of 1950's cop novels.
"Interesting but predictable."
Maybe - it would depend on what he was looking for
Probably not. The problem with classic fiction that "started the trend" is by the time you get to read it it has been copied and restructured over and over until it's lost its strength. I still really love Raymond Chandler and Rex Stout. I don't think that has happened to them yet.
No. I thought it was a pretty good performance. Sounded like a Walter Winchell news reel at appropriate times.
"Big Disappointment"
The introduction, about the history of the book, was the best part. Otherwise, a really weak dated story, not worth your time I'm afraid.
Gringo Sincero de Donde Crece la Palma
"Good 50s noir story"
Enjoyed the politically incorrect language and attitude of the 87th precinct in images easily gleaned from Hugh Hefner picture books. Well crafted and very well voiced by Mr. Hill.
"Ed McBain's First 87th Precinct novel"
Only for historic interest - his subsequent books are much better. But this was a new format for the times, having a group of protagonists, and it was interesting to hear the interview with the author.
I really like Dick Hill's narration, but his version of a New York area accent was painful to my ear. His normal accent would have been much nicer to listen to!
Listening was mildly entertaining, as a window on a past time, but the story unfolded rather predictably without being clever.

Hey all ... Well I just got my PS Move bundle today which I played for some time ... I then tried loading a backup from my internal HD (which I had made myself), and the problem is after I select to load the backup from the backup manager, I dont see it in the XMB ... Instead, I see the original PS3 game disc actually inserted in the PS3 ..
Anybody else also experiencing this ? I'm still on FW 3.41 .. Backup manager is still loading and I still see those two entries you see in the XMB (with the folder icons with them) .. Backup manager starts and seems to work properly too, only when I tell it to load a backup, I just get taken back to the XMB, and still see the game actually inserted into the PS3 ..
I've done the hack steps like 10 times and still the backup doesn't load .. Maybe Move is somehow causing the backup loading mechanism to not work ?!
Btw, I'm using my N900 to carry out hack ..

In the WCS, players in each league will compete in three seasons and clash in three global season finals, earning points within the WCS's global ranking system for their performance along the way.

"The structure of the StarCraft II World Championship Series is the result of an ongoing collaborative effort between Blizzard and our partners," said Mike Morhaime, CEO and cofounder of Blizzard Entertainment. "Our collective goal was to make StarCraft II eSports even more exciting and easier to follow for fans than ever before. On the heels of the successful launch of StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm™, we're all very excited about the present and future of StarCraft II eSports."
The new structure kicks off with WCS Korea GSL on April 4. OGN will produce season 2 in Korea, with WCS Korea StarLeague. GomTV and OGN will alternate operation of the WCS Korea seasons and work in collaboration to broadcast all WCS Korea action in Korea via their respective online and TV broadcast platforms.
Operation of the American and European leagues will be managed by MLG and Turtle Entertainment (ESL), respectively. Scheduling and other information related to the American and European leagues will be announced at a later date.

Wimbledon, England (Sports Network) - Red-hot world No. 1 Serena Williams
could have an easy road to the semifinals and could face former top-ranked
star Victoria Azarenka in the final at The Championships, Wimbledon.
The draw for the 2013 extravaganza was revealed on Friday, and the reigning
Wimbledon, French Open and U.S. Open champion Williams will open her latest
stay at the All England Club against Luxembourg's Mandy Minella.
Williams appears to have a relatively easy road until the fourth round, where
she could face 23rd-seeded grass-court-loving German Sabine Lisicki, who has
reached at least the quarterfinals in her last three trips to Wimbledon,
including a semifinal appearance two years ago.
The high-flying Williams could meet seventh-seeded German Angelique Kerber or
10th-seeded Russian Maria Kirilenko in the quarters and either fourth-seeded
Agnieszka Radwanska or sixth-seeded Li Na in the semis. Williams beat
Radwanska in last year's Wimbledon finale, while Li was this year's Australian
Open runner-up to Azarenka and is a former French Open champ. Radwanska will
open against Austrian Yvonne Meusburger, while Li's first opponent on the
hallowed lawns will be Dutchwoman Michaella Krajicek, who is the half-sister
of former men's Wimbledon champion Richard Krajicek.
Potential opponents for Williams in the final could be the second-seeded
Azarenka or third-seeded Maria Sharapova, who is a former Wimbledon winner and
runner-up. Williams beat the former No. 1 Sharapova in the French Open final
two weeks ago and defeated Azarenka in last year's U.S. Open title tilt.
Williams has won three of the last four Grand Slam events, with only this
year's Aussie championship eluding her grasp. The American superstar is a
sizzling 74-3 since losing to Virginie Razzano in the opening round at last
year's French Open.
The 31-year-old great is a 16-time major singles champion, with five of her
wins coming on the famed grass at Wimbledon.
Azarenka will open her Wimbledon stay against Portugal's Maria Joao Koehler
and could face fellow former No. 1 Jelena Jankovic in the fourth round,
eighth-seeded 2011 Wimbledon winner Petra Kvitova in the quarters and
Sharapova in the semis.
Sharapova will open against France's Kristina Mladenovic and could encounter
fifth-seeded 2012 French Open runner-up Sara Errani in the quarters before a
potential final-four matchup with either Azarenka or Kvitova. Errani could
battle ninth-seeded former world No. 1 Caroline Wozniacki or 17th-seeded
American Sloane Stephens in the fourth round. The 2011 Wimbledon titlist
Kvitova, who will open against American Coco Vandeweghe next week, could face
12th-seeded former No. 1 Ana Ivanovic in the fourth round.
Williams, her fellow career Grand Slam winner Sharapova, and Kvitova are the
only former champions in this year's Wimbledon field.
The 2013 Championships will commence Monday.

County officials seek to find owner of lost horse

Are you missing a young horse?
Photo Galleries
County officials are trying to locate the owner of a tannish female mixed-breed Paso Fino horse, which was found Tuesday wandering on East State Road 40 in the Ocala National Forest.
A motorist reported seeing it running in the middle of SR 40 near Forest Road 9.
Sheriff's deputies went there but were unable to capture the animal. They called Mike Deen, a retired sheriff's captain, who was able to corral it.
The U.S. Navy was conducting a bombing exercise at the Pine Castle Bombing Range, which is roughly 12 miles north of where the animal was spotted, and county officials said the animal might have been spooked by the noise and run away.
It was then turned over to Animal Services.
Barbra Hernandez, a county spokeswoman, said Wednesday that the horse is staying in a field in southeast Ocala.
Hernandez said the horse has an old abrasion on its chest but does not have any new injuries.
Animal Services staff have inspected the horse, and ite appears healthy. Hernandez said officials believe the horse is 4 to 6 years old.
The owner can call Marion County Animal Services at 671-8700.

Ålborg : Michelin's recommendations
In the 11C Ålborg was a well-established Viking port with a fishing fleet and regular trade links with Norway. Situated at the narrowest point of Limfjorden, it is now Denmark's fourth largest city and the main economic and cultural centre of north Jutland. Industrialisation and the advent of the railways in the 19C helped influence the appearance of the modern town. Ålborg owes much of its fame to its dynamism and avant-gardism, symbolised by its splendid Museum of Modern Art.

Spent hours today looking for a solution and I'm pretty confused, so I hope this makes sense.
I am running ZCS 7.x
AV is set to not block encrypted attachments, PDFs generally come through fine.
Problem: Few, maybe 2 per week, non-encrypted PDFs, get marked as having a Virus, always from known and trusted individuals. Is there a way to whitelist just these known individuals and get these through?
I would even be happy to be able to "release" these manually to the recipients, but the various methods described in these forums, don't work for me. The quarantined files do not show up in the /opt/zimbra/data/amavisd/quarantine folder. I can't find where Zimbra is putting these quarantined files that it notifies me of. The quarantine folder does have files, all starting with "badh" or "banned", but none that start with "virus", which is what the notification email tells me the filename will be.
Are locations different in ZCS 7? I've done full file searches for the virus filename and can't locate it. Are they stored in MySQL now?
Any way to "release" these or whitelist known users so their attachments always come through?

That is a big punkin head, thanks for sharing the pics guys.

Here is a picture of the same bear, just a different pose with one of my huntin buddies that joined me on this hunt.
Hey DrHorsePower, that is a cool painting of the dogs under a bear tree. I have similar water color paintings of my top hounds.
Muley24/7, the bear had no white, he was a solid choclate. The white spots you see in the picture are thin areas of hair or rub spots.

about the white chest..... I've seen a couple while deer hunting up there and they all had white chests and a cinnamon color like Bohntr's buddys, but every time I bump into one they always have small cubs! One day I'll get one. Is that a record for the san bernadino mts.?
-NRA Life Member
Yea most bears we take in southern cali have a lot of white on their chest and are either brown or cinamon. A "black," bear or a bear with no white on its chest is rare down here. The bear in the photos would have made the all time BC book. I believe his skull scored 21 12/16. I had him scored and mailed in the paper work to BC, they cashed my check and never gave me a response. I been meaning to call them, but never got a round tuit. The bears weight (700+) was an estimate, because he was killed too far from a road to carry out whole.
Hey bigshot,
That a San Berdo toad alright ! Big as a grizzly .They take some big ones out of there. I could be wrong but I remember years ago an 800 pounder??? came out of I wont say where. More pictures please ! I used to see blonde, red, brown and black in an area I used to back pack into that you and Muley's know about. I have a pic of a blonde sow with two blonde cubs that maybe I can get you or Muleys to post.
Here some more big bear pictures from my photo album.....all bears were taken from the San Bernardino Mtns
Here are a couple more from San Bernadino Mtns
Impressive collection! Those are some awesome bears. Congrats!

|'Better Football Through High School Chemistry' hits the stage Nov. 20-21
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
Prepare to get in some good laughs as Holyoke High School's drama department takes the stage for their hilarious fall play "Better Football Through High School Chemistry."
Performances are scheduled for Friday, Nov. 20 and Saturday, Nov. 21 at 8 p.m. at the HHS auditorium.
In this cleverly written and amusing play by Murray Austin, the school geek, Louis, concocts a bug spray which winds up having a surprisingly hilarious effect on the football players. The Chickaloo Fighting Chickens, suffering from a 50-year losing streak, suddenly find themselves right in the middle of some wildly unexpected situations.
Director Carla Mayfield is new to Holyoke, but is certainly not new to theater. In college, she got a minor in speech and theater and has directed lots of plays. She joined Holyoke Junior High's staff this year as the language arts teacher.
"I am tremendously impressed with the cast of this play and have enjoyed working with them immensely!" said Mayfield. "I think this play is a scream, the kids are brilliant, and everyone within a 100-mile radius should come see it!"
Cast members and their characters include Duncan Brandt, Tommy Don Wallace; Taylor Haidle, Coach Murphy; Nicole Brandt, Jordan J. Jawbreaker; Briar Bergner, Ms. Kasey; Skyler Mayfield, Louis/Boy; Amanda Ferguson, Girl 1; Becca Brandt, Girl 2; Brooke Parker, Jane; Molly Brandt, Ashley; Teanna Amaral, Crystal; Rachel Schneider, Melanie; Preston King, Motown Rivers; Ben Martinez, Chuck Pace; Ella Stewart, Hannah; Christa Durbin, Cheryl; Severine Barras, Laura; and Brian DeBoer, Coach Tanner.
Dinner Theatre Saturday
Holyoke's FCCLA chapter will host a dinner theatre at "Feast on the Football Field" prior to the Saturday evening performance of "Better Football Through High School Chemistry."
Dinner will be served beginning at 6 p.m. in the HHS commons area. Menu items for the dinner theatre include hot mulled cider, fresh garden salad, oven fried chicken breast, mashed potatoes with country gravy, green beans, FCCLA bread, assorted fruit pies ala mode, coffee and tea.
Tickets for the dinner theatre must be purchased by Nov. 20 and are available from FCCLA members or by calling 854-3421.

WASHINGTON (WUSA) -- The Metropolitan Police Department have released the name of a victim who was killed in a hit and run traffic accident that occurred on Tuesday night in the 3000 block of 20th Street, N.E.
Officials say 47 year-old John Allan Schmidt of Northeast, was hit by a black Dodge Charger four door sedan with tinted windows and unknown tags on Tuesday night.
According to officials, the Dodge Charger was driving fast in the 3000 block of 20th Street N.E. when it came to an abrupt stop at the corner of 20th Street and Rhode Island Avenue, N.E. to let out a woman passenger before speeding off again.
Officials then say the Charger hit John Allan Schmidt as he walked in the roadway. After the collision, the Charger picked up the woman passenger who had just been dropped off and fled southbound on 20th Street N.E.
The investigation is ongoing.

|Holyoke Dragon heartbreak at the hand of Heritage Christian
|Written by Chris Lee
It definitely wasn't how they wanted to go out.
With 6.4 seconds left on the clock Friday, March 2 in the regional semifinal game at Metro State College in Denver, Heritage Christian inbounded the ball underneath Holyoke's basket. The score was tied at 60 all.
What was Holyoke's plan? Don't foul and don't let them score.
The Eagles' speedy point guard Matthew McGinley took the ball up the court, wove his way through Dragon defenders and put up a left-handed lay up as time expired.
Heartbreaking looks immediately hit the faces of the Dragon bench and those coming off the floor.
With the lay up, Heritage Christian moved into the Regional Championship game and Holyoke headed back east as their season was done.
The Dragons finished the year with an 11-12 record which included a district runner-up finish.
"I'm super proud of the boys," coach Scott Dille said. "That's the main thing. Those kids worked so hard this year. They always put everything they have into it."
Coach Scott Dille talks with the team during the fourth quarter of Friday's regional basketball game against Heritage Christian. —Enterprise photo
The coach said it was pretty tough to end the season the way they did. He felt the team, over the last three or four weeks, had been playing the way they were supposed to be playing which was evident during the post season run.
Holyoke started out a bit slow last Friday. After scoring the opening bucket to take a 2-0 lead, Holyoke slowed and watched the Eagles build up a 15-5 advantage midway through the opening quarter.
Reid Baumgartner started a slight momentum switch putting in two buckets—he was fouled on the second and converted the old fashioned three-point play to cut the lead to five.
Heritage made a three-pointer to open the game back up a bit. Holyoke would get a bucket from Austin Killin following a nice offensive rebound. Heritage answered with a two-pointer but Deyten Klein got the Dragon faithful out of their seats with a shot from downtown to pull Holyoke within five, 15-20.
Baumgartner nearly sunk a half court shot as time expired on the first period.
Logan Tharp got things rolling in the second quarter making back-to-back field goals to pull the Dragons within one point, 19-20. The two teams then traded buckets with the Heritage lead never exceeding six points.
The Eagles took a 31-25 lead into the locker room.
The third quarter was much of the same back and forth play. Holyoke closed in on the lead and trailed by three, 35-38 heading into what teams thought would be the final period of play.
Killin, working down low, grabbed another nice offensive board and dropped in a shot for two to bring Holyoke within one point, 37-38. From there Heritage turned on the heat and went on a 10-0 run to open things back up.
Not panicking, Holyoke battled back. Tito Fierro drained a three to kick the surge off. He came right back and added another two. After a field goal by the Eagles, Holyoke went on a 10-1 run to grab their first lead, 52-51, since leading 4-3 in the opening minutes of the ball game.
With 1:20 remaining, Holyoke fouled a Heritage Christian player who made the front end of the one-and-one.
Hoping to run the clock down for a last shot, Baumgartner was stripped with only seconds left. The Eagles threw up a desperation shot from half court and missed, sending the game into overtime.
Logan Tharp goes up strong during Holyoke's heartbreaking
To begin the extra period, Baumgartner and Tharp each dropped in field goals to give Holyoke a 56-52 lead—the Dragons' largest of the game.
Trevor Dalton was called for a foul with just over two minutes remaining. Heritage converted both shots from the charity stripe to pull within two. With 1:24 left, Klein was fouled and sunk both free throws. Twenty seconds later, the Eagles dropped in another two-pointer.
With 30 seconds remaining, Killin was whistled for his fifth foul and was forced to sit. Heritage Christian made the first of the two free throws to come within one, 57-58.
The Eagles, desperate to stop the clock, fouled Baumgartner who calmly nailed both free throws with 25 seconds left in the game.
As they did all game, Heritage Christian found success from beyond the arc and threw up a long ball and sunk it with only a few seconds left to tie the game at 60.
Holyoke had a chance to put the ball through the net with time running down but the shot never fell. Heritage Christian recovered and called a time out with 6.4 seconds left on the scoreboard. From there, McGinley took it and scored the game winning shot.
"I couldn't ask for anything more from them (team)," Dille said of the team. He noted the boys were pretty down and quiet following the emotional loss. "This group is particularly close," the coach said. "When you invest so much and work so hard for each other, you don't want to give it up."
The Eagles found great success from the long ball, putting in 11 three-pointers. "It's tough to counter that," Dille said.
The coach said the team will definitely miss the leadership from the group of seniors. He also noted they will have a lot of work to do next year but the younger kids have gotten some good experience on the court this season which should help on down the road.
Baumgartner led the Dragons with 20 points. Klein finished with 11 and Dalton 10.
It was a tough pill to swallow Friday night, March 2. Trevor Dalton, at left, and Tito Fierro walk off the

As the violence in Israel and Gaza continues to escalate and claims more victims, the pain I feel is palpable.
My heart aches for the IDF soldiers killed in action, and for the Israeli civilians who suffer an endless torrent of rockets fired at their homes and their children. My heart aches as well for the innocent civilians of Gaza who are killed or wounded, caught as they are in a deepening web of warfare. My guess is that many of you feel this same way. My guess is, too, that the majority of Israelis and Palestinians share the common wish that their children grow up to thrive in the sunshine, without fear of rocket and mortar fire. At the very least, I need to believe that.
And yet, I and so many others are falling into a malaise of hopelessness. In the words of Israeli Continue reading
