VA–Glencoe Mansion will host the artwork of Sam Linkous from May 3 through June 29
Sam is a multitalented and versatile fine artist and musician
Sam creates whimsical and unconventional pieces of art using inks and colors
There is an opening reception on Thursday May 8th
The event is free to attend and suitable for all ages
Sam Linkous’ inspiration for his current series of art
consisting of watercolor and ink paintings
began in 2020 as a way to provide something colorful and positive to post on his social media page when everything seemed to be negative
the positive reactions he received encouraged him both to continue drawing and to post daily
he continues his daily posts five years later
He especially likes sharing them with friends and reading their reactions
Sam and his followers create “serial stories” where imaginative narratives are spawned in response to his images
written back and forth between Sam & his audience
are a fun way to engage with the artwork and give new and exciting life to a piece
Sam says that these are fun because he never knows where they’re going or how they’ll end
Sam’s current work revolves around flowers that grow in his imagination
but he often incorporates items such as musical instruments
all of which represent his imagination and love of color
These works are never reproduced – each item he is showing
and greeting cards – are completely one-of-a-kind originals
and playing Old Time traditional music in the area
And while attending many of the Old Fiddlers Conventions in Virginia
he also serves as a competition judge or emcee
Glencoe Mansion is free to visit and open Wednesday through Saturday from 10 am to 4 pm and Sunday from 1 pm to 4 pm. For more information, please visit Glencoe online on Facebook, Instagram, or at www.glencoemansion.org

.st1{fill-rule:evenodd;clip-rule:evenodd;fill:#2a2a2a}By Joe Zochert | for The Oregonian/OregonLiveWith a few in-game breakthroughs powering its confidence
the Forest Grove softball team clawed out a narrow 2-1 home victory over Glencoe and heated up the Pacific Conference race even more on Friday night
This valuable win came for the Vikings (14-5
5-1 Pacific) by pushing through any mistakes they made early
second baseman Alise Morency came up with the game-winning RBI with two outs in the bottom of the fifth
“That was a clutch play with two outs,” Forest Grove coach Jeremy Ingram said
And that clutch hit topped off a strong team performance with seven total hits as a team with Paola Reyes Figuera getting an RBI single in the bottom of second
Starting pitcher Kherington Wright also ousted any hopes for Glencoe (14-6
4-2) in the top of the seventh with two of her four strikeouts coming in the top of seventh
“A total team effort for us today,” Ingram said
We stayed in the game and got a little bit of something from a lot of girls today.”
That brewing confidence came through in the third inning with Ingram intentionally walking Crimson Tide senior Irene VanDyke to load up the bases with only one out and the Vikings were leading 1-0
“(VanDyke) is one of the best players in our league,” Ingram said.“We had an open base
We felt more confident with the two girls behind her than we did throwing to her.”
But we went with our guts and it paid off.”
the Vikings got consecutive outs to pay off Ingram’s gamble and let his players know the trust he has in them
and he knows we have a solid defense,” Forest Grove shortstop Kailea Takahashi said
and it definitely is nerve wracking to load our bases
Takahashi also started some strong routine plays by nabbing some runners at first
including a double play in the bottom of the third by being the main proponent of a double play at second and first base
she was happy to see her teammates stepping up with Wright to highlight
especially for how young she is,” Takahashi said about Wright
And knowing that she can out-pitch all these batters is amazing.”
Our team has a hard time keeping our energy up at the beginning of games
This is a close game to a really good team
Glencoe always looked like it could take the lead in any inning with coach Wade Sahlfeld giving props to the Vikings
“It is always going to come down to one or two runs with them,” Sahlfeld said
and I really commend Jeremy Ingram about that
you know they’re gonna come to play so I got to do a better job as a coach to get my players ready for that.”
Makena Petrick got Glencoe’s lone run thanks to an error in the infield after catcher Kenley Wright overthrew third base
All game it felt like momentum could shift in the Crimson Tide’s favor with Tuesday Mevis calmly catching back-to-back line drives out to center field before Morency’s RBI
“I thought we had some good momentum here and there,” Sahlfeld said
Every time you thought the momentum would change
What it comes down to is they made plays and we didn’t."

Glencoe's boys golf team entered this season expecting to build on last year
when it finished seventh in the 6A tournament
And the Crimson Tide is living up to those expectations
winning four consecutive tournaments after opening the season with a second-place finish in the stacked Canby Invitational
Glencoe followed its third consecutive Pacific Conference tournament win Tuesday at Pumpkin Ridge Golf Club by capturing the 16-team 6A/5A Preview on Wednesday at the OGA Golf Course
The Crimson Tide shot 306 to finish ahead of 5A contenders Summit (322)
“It just gives us another marker out there,” Glencoe coach Tyler Armstrong said of winning on the state championship course
I want them to continue to work toward peaking at the end of the season
Glencoe has been led by seniors Brody Landaker
“It's been really fun to watch them develop
starting their freshman year all the way to now,” said Armstrong
a 2009 Glencoe graduate who took over as head coach this year after assisting Tim Duvall for eight seasons
Landaker shot an even-par 72 to tie for second place with Bend senior Gustav Kristofferson
one shot behind Canby freshman Connor Holden
The Cougars other scorers were Irving (76)
Meiers (79) and senior Giovanni Gallardo (79)
It came on the heels of Glencoe shooting a 305 on the Ghost Creek course at Pumpkin Ridge
Landaker shot 2-under 69 to edge Sherwood junior Tiger Lu by one stroke for medalist honors
junior Calvin Johnson (79) and Meiers (80) rounded out the Crimson Tide's scoring
has been “the rock of our team,” according to Armstrong
He has made big strides since he began playing competitive golf as a freshman
and other times it can drag him down for a hole or two
Where Brody's at right now is really exciting
He's going to have a round where it all clicks one day.”
The youngest of three brothers to play for Glencoe
Armstrong believes the 6-foot-3 Landaker has a high ceiling
“There's a lot of juice left to squeeze with Brody,” he said
His improvement was apparent in a Pacific Conference tournament April 8 at Meriwether National Golf Club when he shot an even-par 72 in inclement weather to win by six strokes
Armstrong said his players are mentally better equipped to handle poor conditions than last year
when they struggled with the weather on the second day of the state tournament
“They were kind of giving in to the conditions,” Armstrong said
I feel with a little bit more maturity last year
is hoping to bring home a trophy from the 6A tournament
we have the ability to punch our way up there.”

2025 at Glencoe High School in Hillsboro.Ali Gradischer for The Oregonian/OregonLive
.st1{fill-rule:evenodd;clip-rule:evenodd;fill:#2a2a2a}By Nick Celario | For The Oregonian/OregonLiveWith the Pacific Conference looking like a tight race
Sherwood got a huge road victory on the road
The Bowmen softball team scored four runs in the third inning en route to defeating Glencoe 6-3 at Glencoe High School on Friday
It’s going to send us with a positive mindset for the McMinnville game,” said Sherwood junior outfielder Jordyn Henderson
we can ride this high through the rest of league (play)
continue to come back and beat Forest Grove when we see them again.”
3-1 Pacific Conference) took advantage of a couple of errors by Glencoe to score three of those four runs in the third inning
1/39Oregon high school softball: Glencoe Crimson Tide vs
Sherwood BowmenSherwood added another run on an RBI single by Henderson in the sixth inning
The Bowmen then capped off the game with a solo home run in the seventh inning by junior outfielder Maisy Schindler
Henderson was three-for-three at the plate with a double
“I would say the biggest thing we talked about today was adjustments,” Henderson said
“She was throwing pretty far outside the whole game
instead of this repetitive complaining about how it’s outside
everybody just made really good adjustments just getting on the plate
I was basically kneeling over the top of the plate
we could hammer those outside pitches and still be productive.”
Schindler was one-for-four with a home run and two RBIs
Schindler got a run home while reaching first base on a fielder’s choice
“This was definitely our biggest road game we’ve had so far,” said Sherwood coach Kris Moore
but we knew we were going to get great pitching and great defense
They were able to adjust and change their plan of attack at the plate
We executed small ball and were able to get some runs.”
Sarono-Ramos gave up two runs on three hits and totaled seven strikeouts
Bowmen senior Destiny Cornwell relieved Sarono-Ramos in the fifth inning
Cornwell gave up one run on three hits and had two strikeouts
“We have two girls that can pitch equally good,” Moore said
“Any time you’re going three times through the order
it always starts to give batters confidence when they see somebody for a third time
because they’ve seen all the pitches at that point
Giving them a new look with a pitcher that was all-conference two years in a row (Cornwell)
2-1 league) fell to third place in the league standings behind Sherwood and McMinnville after Friday’s game
“I just think they were the better team today,” said Glencoe coach Wade Sahlfeld
“You can sit and have all the excuses in the world on why we didn’t win
They beat us on all three phases of the game—offense
You’ve got to have really good support in the dugout as well as on the field and up to bat
The Crimson Tide cut into Sherwood’s lead with two runs scored in the third inning
Sophomore catcher Kendyl Mishler and junior shortstop Makena Petrick each knocked in an RBI in the inning
Glencoe got one more run in the fifth inning on an RBI single by Petrick to cut Sherwood’s deficit to 4-3
that would be as close as the Crimson Tide would get to the Bowmen
“I think we’ve got to have a little bit better of a short memory
I think there could have been a call or two that (could have) went our way
and that changes that whole inning,” Sahlfeld said about trying to come back from that early four-run deficit
Petrick was 2 for 4 batting with two RBIs on Friday
Brester gave up six runs—three unearned—and got two strikeouts
After giving up four runs in the third inning
Brester responded by pitching the next two innings without allowing a run
She’s as tough as they come,” Sahlfeld said about Brester
“She will do whatever is asked from her coaches and her teammates
She would continue to pitch if she was on one leg
JACKSONVILLE — Grant Smith wasn’t born the last time Glencoe’s boys’ basketball team played in a Final Four
That reality the Glencoe center and his teammates had just earned their way in hadn’t quite set in Tuesday
minutes after the Yellow Jackets beat Piedmont 77-63 in the Class 3A Northeast Regional final in Pete Mathews Coliseum
“I know we’re going to do good,” Smith said
because I’ve never been on a big stage like this.”
Most valuable player Garrett Morgan led four Yellow Jackets (25-7) in double figures with 20 points Tuesday
They will play the Montgomery Academy-Lee-Scott Academy winner on Feb
Glencoe earned its first Final Four shot since 2000
but Glencoe coach Ryan Chambless has experienced it as a player for Alexandria and a coach
He led Jacksonville’s girls to two Final Fours
including their run to the Class 4A state title
“I can’t think of a group I’ve coached that’s more deserving of this honor,” Chambless said
Glencoe also got 16 points apiece from Smith and Wade Segrest
who joined Morgan on the all-tournament team
It was enough to overcome a 28-point outburst from Piedmont’s Ishmael Bethel
who hit two of his 3-pointers in back-to-back possessions to close the gap to 68-62 with two minutes to play
Bethel and Pinto made the all-tournament team
The Bulldogs and Yellow Jackets battled four times this season
with Piedmont sweeping the regular season and earning the right to play host to the area tournament
Glencoe won the area and regional title games
“They’re a great basketball team,” Piedmont coach Matt Glover said
and they played a better game than us today.”
Glencoe shot 64.3 percent (27 of 42) from the floor Tuesday
The Yellow Jackets also held Piedmont to 41.3 percent shooting
including a 2-for-14 slump in the third quarter
Glencoe outscored Piedmont 18-5 in the third quarter to lead 48-35 going into the fourth
“They do a good job of making you attack and hit your twos
and they really don’t help off of us to let us shoot the threes,” Glover said
“I think that’s his game plan the last two times.”
Tuesday’s game marked the high school finales for Piedmont’s four seniors
Bethel called Piedmont’s season “impressive.”
We fought all the way through the fourth quarter
I didn’t see none of my teammates holding their heads down

The move comes after three straight losing seasons and a regression back to a 2-8 record during the 2024 AHSAA season
Martin held a 7-23 record over the three seasons and didn't make the playoffs
Martin thanked Glencoe in a statement he posted on Facebook and later shared with the Gadsden Times
I want to thank everyone that makes up the Glencoe Football Program for allowing me to be the Head Football Coach for the last 3 years
While I am disappointed with yesterday's administrative meeting
I certainly understand the decision to take the program in a different direction
The last 3 years have been great in terms of the relationships built between the players
I am disappointed that I was not able to change the direction in terms of wins and losses
but take pride in knowing that we have improved every other facet of the program
wins and losses seem to be the only thing that matters
Our young men have been a pleasure to coach and will be assets to the Glencoe Community as they graduate and proceed in "life." Glencoe Football will always hold a special place in my heart and I will continue to be a "fan" from afar regardless of where I am coaching or "loving ❤️ life every day," Martin wrote

Before Martin got to Ohatchee it had 10 straight losing seasons
He led Ohatchee to five playoff appearances and five straight winning seasons
He was placed on paid administrative leave during the 2021 season for unreleased reasons
Martin spent time at Hillcrest Tuscaloosa and Calera
In Alabama he holds a 90-65 record with nine playoff appearances
