DENNISON ‒ On a recent Thursday at Claymont Intermediate School a group of about 50 boys ‒ wearing white shirts and neckties ‒ learned the fine art of how to properly set a table The fork and the napkin go on the left of the plate The cup goes on the upper right side above the plate the boys practiced setting the table repeatedly each table attempting to do it as fast as possible without making too much noise More Claymont activities: Out of this world program: Claymont Middle School students question NASA astronauts they were challenged to set the table at home that night fourth and fifth grades ‒ are participating in a new program at Claymont called Guys with Ties they learn such things as showing respects for their elders and females 'A good learning experience'Zaden Patterson "It's like a good learning experience for boys like me who actually want to grow up to be a gentleman We have learned how to have a firm handshake And he enjoys wearing a white shirt and necktie to school Zaden said he plans on dressing up more often who manages the Guys with Ties program in northeastern Ohio The program was started by Beyond the Game Longshore said the program is going well at Claymont I just like their energy whenever I come here." "I absolutely think it's a lost thing among our kids so I think it's really good that we are teaching them how to act in restaurants and act in public places I think it's really important that we're teaching them dining etiquette We're teaching them how to say please and thank you and how to be respectful amongst themselves and amongst others." Guys with Ties was started during the 2016-2017 school year at Middlebranch Elementary in Canton with 35 students and has since spread to other states There are active programs at Tuscarawas Valley Local Schools in Zoarville and at Carrollton Exempted Village Schools It has been used in the past at Strasburg-Franklin Local Schools and at Sandy Valley Local Schools in Magnolia Principal Jessica Marsh said the program has been a great learning experience for the boys "There was a lot of conversation amongst the staff when we were getting started about the shirt and the ties and were they (the boys) able to manage remembering those," she said giving the boys an opportunity to be responsible for their shirt and their tie and their workbook it felt a little like if we were going to manage that for them we weren't really giving them that opportunity that they needed to progress The program is being funded by a $6,000 donation from the Uhrichsville Eagles Participants in the program were selected by their homeroom teachers at Claymont Intermediate "I'm super happy with the engagement that we've had with it The community has seemed to respond very well to our Facebook posts," Marsh said Community members are invited to have lunch with the boys "We have students who are asking to be a part of the program that engagement piece has been just really motivating for our staff It feels different than other things we've done," she said the school will start a similar program for girls Marsh said she likes it when the boys come to school dressed up "It does put a whole different feeling in the building when the boys come in with their shirt and their tie." NEWTON TOWNSHIP — By the time Claymont knew what happened It wasn't long before the Mustangs were buried beneath the tournament rubble Junior forward Jordyn Watson fired in 11 of his game-high 28 points in a 20-5 run to start the game and host Maysville led by as many as 35 points in the first half of a 74-35 win in a Division IV district game They scored on six of their first seven possessions hit their first three 3-pointers and held Claymont without points for 10 straight possessions More: These MVL standouts sought D-I offers. The transfer portal, recruiting left them frustrated More: Leila Hawk is a history maker for Maysville swimming. She isn’t about to stop now More: New Lex's dynamic duo came back to their old form vs. Westfall. The timing was perfect. A one-win West Holmes team was well within striking distance entering the fourth quarter of their tournament opener before Watson and classmate Gator Nichols unleashed a similar onslaught on the Knights "That's how we've been playing in the fourth quarter," Maysville coach Dave Brown said we need to get four quarters of high level basketball together if you want a chance to win a district title or get into a district championship.' It helps when (Watson) comes out like that and plays like that." Watson entered Friday averaging 16.1 points per game and shooting 51 percent from the floor steals (2.1) and three-point percentage (44.0) While it's Gator Nichols who receives the bulk of the attention for the Panthers (21-3) — for good reason: he averages 26 points per game and shoots 85 percent at the line — Watson has been equally consistent "He has a lot of tournament magic," Brown said "He was battling a lower back injury a couple of week ago and now he's getting healthy He's wearing a pair of 2010 Kevin Durant shoes Kane Roehrig 11 and Landon Iden nine for Maysville which hit 20 of 37 first-half field goals in building a 53-20 lead They finished with 11 offensive rebounds and only five turnovers compared to 19 assists Claymont (6-17) had 20 turnovers and didn't crack 30 points until the running clock had been established late in the third quarter The Panthers' road to the regional gets more treacherous next week The other semifinal features John Glenn and Indian Valley The Panthers defeated the Potters two years ago to reach the Division II regional you're going to play a really good basketball team and you're going to have to play a great game to advance."

don’t know how many wins it’s going to be (this year) but we’re going to do things right we’re going to do the things that winning teams do and by doing that the younger kids have really bought in I could go out and find somebody who knows X’s and O’s I’ve got a good mix of coaches there that are really into the kids (Quarterback) Nolan McMorrow has really had a great summer and we have some good

Borton was telling school board members earlier this month that the system is ready to start generating electricity at the flip of a switch – but the investor wants to wait until 2025 and they have to decide when they want to spend it so their tax credits are better utilized they’ll contact us and tell us to go ahead and flip the switch to turn that on.” The only aspect of the project still to complete is what Borton calls “the landscape package.” That includes the planting of 42 native Ohio pollinator species within the fence of the array that will reach between six and 20 inches high “So that seed is best when it goes down in January on frozen ground That way in the spring when it comes up it’s a healthier crop.” Workers will also plant a row of 42 arborvitae along the Indian Hill Road side come spring “They’ll start out at 3 to 4 feet [high] and they’ll eventually go to 8 to 10 feet narrow plant but it gives some texture to this farm field with this massive solar array sitting there.”The system is projected to save the school district at least $43,000 in its first year the guys in the trenches made life a cakewalk for running backs Seth Britton and Kobe Alexander as the Tigers’ two-headed monster combined for 326 yards on the ground in a 28-13 win over Claymont Both Britton and Alexander scored two touchdowns Britton rushed for a game-high 180 yards on 23 carries while Alexander added 146 rushing yards to go with a first-half interception on defense Marietta improves to 3-1 with a road test Friday at Whitehall Yearling I am buying every one of them on the offensive line cookies,” Alexander said Not too many teams can stop our offensive line when they are on.” The bounce-back win from last week’s loss at Athens left a better feeling in the Marietta camp The Tigers kept the Claymont athleticism to a minimum The Mustangs bread-and-butter passing game managed just 52 yards and was picked off twice in the first half Marietta’s Owen Riley accounted for the other interception “We started off a little bit flat in the first half – we did not play our best but the kids responded well and played much better in the second half,” Marietta coach Jason Schob said “You watch their film and Claymont has some playmakers They’ve scored points against some pretty good teams “We got beat over the top on a few plays against Athens so we really worked on pass coverage and sticking with receivers in scramble situations Our (defensive backs) did a really good job playing on the ball.” The two sides played to a 7-7 tie by halftime but Marietta’s defense shifted into another gear in the third quarter On Claymont’s first two possessions of the second half the Mustangs were held in check to a tune of minus-2 yards on a pair of three and outs Marietta took advantage and scored on its first two offensive series of the third quarter who carried just past the first down marker on a fourth-and-1 from the Claymont 6; got the call on the next play and scored from five yards – his first TD of the season the Tigers made quick work and moved the ball 47 yards in four plays who tied the game late in the second quarter with a 10-yard TD run found the end zone for the sixth time this season from eight yards Combined with Braxten Lang’s perfect night kicking extra points Marietta extended its lead to 21-7 with 3:36 showing in the third period “This win boosts our team a lot – our energy is going to be really high going into (this Friday),” said Britton who also batted down a Claymont pass attempt in the third quarter that had the makings of resulting in a pick-six “The offensive line – those are the boys That’s what makes all the plays happen mixed up the ground game with shot passes to drive 65 yards in 14 plays and tack on a second TD when Dre’Vonn McMorrow sneaked across the goal line from five yards for his second TD of the night but that was moot as Marietta scored on its third straight possession to open the second half With the ball sitting on the Mustangs’ 21 Alexander nearly scored but a leg tackle stopped him at the 1 Alexander got another try and put the clincher at 28-13 with 4:02 remaining in regulation “Our
