OLD WASHINGTON -- The Buckeye Trail boys' basketball team survived a furious rally by visiting Fort Frye in the second half of Friday night's Pioneer Valley Conference play to emerge victorious, 69-63, and remain undefeated on the young season.
Leading by as many as 15 points in the third quarter, Trail (3-0, 1-0 PVC) saw its leads disappear twice in the final frame before outscoring the visitors 8-1 down the stretch to secure the victory.
The Warriors converted 4-of-6 field goal attempts and 11-of-16 attempts at the charity stripe in the final frame to end the come-from-behind effort by Fort Frye (1-2, 0-1 PVC).
"We did a good job late making the free throws we had to make," said Buckeye Trail coach Rod Gray. "We hadn't shot free throws real well throughout the night, so we were praying on each one."
The Warriors converted 17-of-28 (61 percent) free throw attempts for the game while the Cadets knocked down five of just nine attempts at the stripe.
Gray said the Warriors need to improve on their decision-making with a lead as Trail committed six turnovers in the third quarter alone while Fort Frye trimmed the deficit from 39-24 to 49-47 for the start of the fourth quarter.
"We just didn't take care of the ball as well as we needed to, especially later in the game," said Gray. "We can't do that because it allowed them to get back in the game. We talked about them being more aggressive with the three-point shots late in the game and they were able to make some and it's hard to rebound those long-range shots because you don't know how it's going to come off the rim.
"They (Fort Frye) are a nice team. The are solid defensively and they do some nice things on offense including shooting the ball well when open," Gray concluded.
The Warriors outscored the Cadets 30-24 in the first two frames before Fort Frye captured the third, 23-19, to cut the deficit to two points.
After Fort Frye's Seth Lagraen knotted the score at 49-all to start the fourth quarter, Trail's CJ Beaver answered with back-to-back buckets including a "trey" to give the Warriors at 54-49 cushion. The Cadets' Caden Brooker stopped the run with an offensive stick-back only to see Beaver score again on a lay-up for a 56-51 lead.
The Cadets then went on a 8-1 run to take the lead 59-57 on two conversions by Shon Smith at the charity stripe.
The hosts rallied with a 4-0 run on free throws by Zach Roe and Beaver to regain the lead, 61-59, only to see Fort Frye's Chandler Lang steal the lead with his third three-point bomb of the night.
Unfortunately for the visitors, that would be their last lead of the night as Josh Toland hit a free throw; Roe scored on a steal and lay-up and Beaver hit two charity tosses for a 66-62 lead. The Warriors closed the game with two free throws by Lane Starr and a final charity toss by Roe sandwiched around a free throw by Fort Frye's Lagraen.
Fort Frye attempted 23 three-point field goals in the second half, making eight to finish the night 10-of-34 from beyond the arc. By comparison, Trail hit on 10-of-22 including 3-of-6 on treys in the second half.
Roe paced the victors with 18 points including a pair of long-ranges bombs and an 8-of-10 effort at the charity stripe. He was followed by Beaver with 17, Tyler Starr with 14 and Toland with 10. Roe, Beaver, Toland and Lane Starr converted free throws for the Warriors in the decisive fourth quarter, and the hosts made 21-of-48 field goal attempts for the game.
For the Cadets, Lang finished with 18 points while Lagraen scored 15 and Smith chipped in 14.
As a team, Fort Frye hit 24-of-63 attempts from the field.
Trail won the battle of the boards, 43-30, behind 14 rebounds from Toland, eight by Caleb Gray and six from Roe. The Cadets were led on the glass by Lagraen and Lang with eight caroms apiece.
Beaver finished with five assists, two steals and a pair of blocks, while Roe tallied three helpers and a steal. Smith finished with seven assists for Fort Frye while Lagraen and Lang each recorded two steals.
NEXT-- Buckeye Trail plays another home game Tuesday against Caldwell. The reserve game starts at 6 p.m.

16 September 2009
On a night that was suppose to be all about John Tavares it was Bruno Gervais, Nathan Lawson, and Calvin de Haan who stole the show. From the drop of the puck these three players had their "A" game ready for a long night.
The Islanders opened up strong in the early first, consistently keeping the puck in the offensive zonefor a good part of the early first period putting pressure on Oilers starting goalie Jeff Deslauriers. 4:30 into the first Nate Thompson and Byran Young Dropped the gloves in retaliation for a hit on Freddy Mayer Thompson didn't necessarilytake to kindly of. As the period progressed the Oilers seemed to pick up the slack moving the puck the other way into the Isles zone. Play shifted back the other way and at 6:39 Bruno Gervais fired a wrister from the point to give the islanders a 1-0 lead. From some angles looked as if Tavares, who was situated in front of the net had redirected the shot in but the goal was given to Gervais.
The Oilers started to regroup and take command back from the Islanders as they were constantly called for penalties (5 in the first period) but, goalie Nate Lawson saved the day coming up with save after save including robing Ales Hemsky of a sure goal by blocking it with his stick (@tavarescountry called it Grand Lawsony). Lawson continued his excellence into the second continuing to stop everything that he faced including making a few more highlight reel saves.
In the second play was delayed twice to replace broken glass from two extremely hard shots from Sheldon Souray which left two distinguishing cracks and Joel Rechlicz and Steve Macintyre dropped the gloves at 11:44 giving fans a look at the possible enforcer for the Islanders and had a power play chance they failed to convert on.
As play entered the third it seemed as Nate Lawson could not be beat after playing an outstanding two periods (after settling down and not being outta position so often). Lawson even made a beauty of a kick save to keep the puck out. But like all good things it must come to an end and it did abruptly as Dustin Penner beat Nate Stick side to tie up the game at one 8 minutes into the third. 2:20 later Sam Gagner would beat Lawson to give the Oilers the lead, 2-1. At 11:56 Rechlicz and Macintyre are sent to the box on offsetting peneltys. alittle less than 2 minutes later the Oilers get called for too many men on the ice giving the Islanders a 4 on 3 advantage, in which they fail to convert on.
At 15:02 It was the rookie and 12th overall draft pick Calvin de Haan, who up to this point was having an excellent game. de Haan fired a quick snapshot from the point tying up the game as it started to near the end.Alittle over 2 minutes later though it was Sheldon souray who beat Lawson to give the Oilers the 3-2 lead and subsequently the win.
Although The Islanders lost fans got a good idea of Calvin de Haan the 12th pick in the 2009 draft and were able to see his offensive and defensive ability. Along with de Haan fans should be excited to see how excellent Lawson's play was throughout the game, moving around to stop shotsand getting back to make the big time saves. Also Islanders Sean Bergenheim and Doug weight left early in the third period due to groin strains and are listed as day to day, we will definitely be keeping our eye on this developing situation.

Work on the Inner Ring Road began last September and is not due to finish until late 2007.
Owners of some shops have said they have seen a decline in business because it is easier for many people to get into Nottingham or Burton.
The council insisted the work was an investment in the city's future and any problems are short term.
'Challenging' conditions
Judith Hart, who runs a jewellers on the Eagle centre, said: "Whichever direction you come into Derby there seem to be roadworks.
"Footfall in the shop is down and the customers we speak to say it is a pain getting into Derby, parking is difficult and so they are looking for alternatives like Nottingham or Burton."
Chris Wyn, Derby City Council's cabinet member for planning and transportation, said: "We are very much aware of the impact on businesses and doing all we can to minimise it.
"It is a challenging construction project being undertaken in heavy traffic conditions and we ask people to stick with us while we build a better transport network."

William Shatner was all over the web today.
Early this morning a video of his appearance on last night's episode of The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien went viral, racing around the internet as it was shared via Facebook and Twitter. In the skit, the former Star Trek actor parodied former Alaska governor and vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin by performing a poetic rendition of excerpts from her farewell speech.
Then Mr Shatner's voice began coming through on automated phone calls to Hewlett-Packard employees. In a campaign organised by environmental group Greenpeace, Mr Shatner recorded a short message encouraging Hewlett-Packard to phase-out its use of brominated flame retardants (BFRs) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plastics.

With all of these components you'd think set-up would be a bit of a nightmare, but as I mentioned above it was one of the easiest bits of wireless kit I've ever had the pleasure to install. You have to make the first ZonePlayer a wired connection so I hooked one up to my broadband router in the study. Next the software was installed and music folders located. The system uses Windows shared folders, so if you've got your music on a NAS (network attached storage) box, you can stream music from that too.
Finally, I hooked another ZP80 up downstairs to the main hi-fi system with a pair of decent interconnects to my Primare A 30.1 stereo amplifier. One button press added the downstairs unit to the system and with the controller unit charged up I was ready to rock 'n' roll – literally.
The beauty of this system is that it just works and the technology side of things is pretty much completely transparent. There are no fiddly settings to complete, no wireless security set-up to go wrong (security is set up automatically for you during installation so there's no danger of a next door neighbour joining in the party). In fact after you've set the various bits and pieces up all you have to worry about is the music. And just to illustrate how friendly this kit is to use, I handed the controller around to various non-techies during an evening get together. Without exception they were all browsing through the music happily adding tracks to the queue in moments – and with very few calls to the in-house help desk.
And it's not just the ease-of-use that's impressive. It seems that Sonos thought of everything and then squeezed in some more features when it was designing this system. The controller, for instance, has a motion sensor built into it – pick it up and it switches itself on automatically, while its white backlit buttons adjust their brightness according to how bright or dim the ambient light conditions are.
The system also allows you to 'tune into' Internet radio stations. There's a whole load predefined in the software including, footy fans will be glad to hear, BBC Radio Five Live and Radio Five Live Extra, and others can be added too.

In July and the first week in August, The LaRue County Herald News published a series of mini-special sections.
The stories and photos about Sonora, New Haven, Upton, Buffalo and Mount Sherman proved to be immensely popular with our readers. We've received numerous phone calls and emails complimenting the sections and asking for more.
In today's Herald, there is a section about Howardstown.
Here are a few suggestions from readers: Gleanings, Ginseng, White City, Tanner, Eagle Mills and Leafdale.
Out with good ol' boy mentality
I have read Steve LaRue's letter to the editor several times and no matter how many times I read it I continue to be offended by it. What I am getting from this letter is that the City of Hodgenville should go by "The Good Ol' Boy Mentality."
Why do people think they should be exempt from city ordinances? It's OK for other people – but don't expect me to abide by it?
People's Garden
Who is responsible for the fenced-in garden area at the picnic area at the Abraham Lincoln Birthplace National Historic Park?
According to Park Superintendent William Justice, the garden in the picnic area of the park is a "People's Garden."
The project was started by Steve Meredith who is with the Commonwealth of Kentucky. He has been working with the state FFA to maintain the garden.
Justice offered the following:
Thursday's open house hosted by Williams and Boardwalk Pipeline Partners was interesting. There was some protesting done by singing nuns (you've got to love singing nuns) who offered a bit of distraction, and others carrying signs.
There is a lot of vocal opposition to the pipeline, which, if built, will carry highly toxic and flammable chemicals, right under LaRue County. The company is trying to obtain easements from property owners so they can have the pipeline operational by 2015.
Land agents for the Williams company have been contacting LaRue County property owners, seeking permission to survey or run a section of the proposed Bluegrass Pipeline across their land.
Tom FitzGerald, Director, Kentucky Resources Council, Inc., provides the following information:
The Council recommends that landowners do not sign any document granting permission to survey, or any easement, without first consulting a lawyer.
Upton misses the 'Exchange'
Thank you so much for the article in last week's paper on Upton. I was disappointed that the Farmer's Telephone Co. was not mentioned. It was indeed the hub of the town. It was one of the last, if not the last, "hand cranked" systems in the state of Kentucky.
What a week it has been, and what a weekend it will be.
Amazed by Skyler Hornback's amazing win on the show Jeopardy, I'm even more amazed in the power of media resources. A benefit of being the media is that we were provided the confidential knowledge from the network of Skyler's win, a few hours before the show aired last Wednesday evening. Wanting to be the first one to announce the win, we sat anxiously waiting for the show to end, and posted the breaking news on our LaRue County Herald News Facebook page.
Turn everyone's water back on
There is a bully mentality at City Hall that has become unacceptable.
My father, Jim LaRue, has had his water on Greensburg Street turned off by the City in the last three months not once but twice for alleged non-payment.
In both instances, my father (who is very good with numbers) paid his bill on time via check. Both times, he was told by a city employee his check had not cleared. Interestingly, the other bills he paid the same day, via check, did clear.

Suma Organic Peanut Butter, Great Taste and Healthy Too
The benefits of eating good quality peanut butter
According to a recent study eating good quality peanut butter could be the secret to beating heart disease. (Daily Mail – June 2009)
The article says that "snacking on a small amount of peanuts or peanut butter at least five days a week can nearly halve the risk of a heart attack. The nuts are thought to combat bad cholesterol, help reduce inflammation in the body and boost the health of blood vessels around the heart."
The study reported on was carried out continuously between 1980 and 2002 by researchers at Harvard Medical School who analysed the diets of more than 6,000 women who had type 2 diabetes which increases the risk of heart attack and stroke.
When the results were compared with data on how many went on to suffer heart attacks or strokes, the findings were that those that regularly ate peanuts had the greatest protection.
In a report on their finding, published in the Journal of Nutrition, the risk was said to have been reduced by up to 44 per cent and stated that:
"Consumption of at least five servings a week of one ounce of nuts or one tablespoon of peanut butter was significantly associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular disease".
In the UK, poor diet and lifestyle has led to a dramatic rise over the last five years in cases of type 2 diabetes, from 1.5million to 2.25million now.
Ellen Mason of the British Heart Foundation said: "It is beneficial to include nuts in our diets as they are low in the saturated fats that raise our cholesterol".
Suma Peanut Butter is fully organic and contains no hydrogenated oils, palm oil or added sugar. It is available "Crunchy" or "Smooth" with or without added salt, is gluten free and suitable for vegetarians and vegans. It is available in two sizes 340g and 700g.
View the Suma Peanut Butter Range here.
Please note that some peanut products can be full of added oil, sugar and high quantities of salt so check the label first and don't forget that nuts are high in overall calories.
Also eating more of one food in isolation will not make a dramatic difference to your health if you are inactive and don't have a balanced diet.

If you live on or near the East Coast, you know that Summer 2010 is already really, really hot. We've had many days above 90°F and July is plenty toasty too.
So what does this mean?
If you're like me, it means your electricity bills are going up as you crank the air conditioning. Don't get me wrong, I love AC—I think it's one of the best inventions we've ever come up with—but the heavy use of it contributes to rolling blackouts and peak energy use that overloads the system. Not to mention, we pay more.
What can you do? Luckily, there are some things you can do to help lower that cost until the weather cools off again.
- Close the curtains or blinds first thing in the morning. If you have windows facing east, south or (especially) west, close those curtains during the day. Closing the curtains cuts down the amount of sunlight that comes in and then gets turned into heat. Solar heat gain sends your inside temperature skyrocketing, forcing your AC to work extra-hard to compensate.
- Turn the AC temperature higher while you're out. A programmable thermostat is the best way to go. Set the AC to 78°F only when you're home, and 10-15 degrees higher (or even off altogether) while you're at work. (You may want to have a little AC on if you have pets, though!) If you don't have a programmable thermostat, though, just dial up the temperature on the thermostat when you're ready to leave.
- Don't turn the AC temperature all the way down. It might be nice to cool your place to the high 60s, but resist the urge; keeping your place that cool takes a lot of energy. Think about turning on a fan to move the air around—that can help keep you comfortable. If you use air conditioning, a ceiling fan will allow you to raise the thermostat setting about 4°F with no reduction in comfort. And remember to turn off ceiling fans when you leave a room; fans cool people, not rooms, by creating a wind chill effect.
We're all powered by the same grid, so let's be responsible and make wise choices. That way, we won't have to suffer spot power outages or interrupted service even on the hottest days.
