Howard Boys Adjust Scheme To Beat Brainerd, Panther Girls Rout Lady Hustlin Tigers Saturday, January 23, 2021 - by Joseph Dycus
The third quarter belonged to Kerrick Thorne, whose 6’7 frame was everywhere and did everything for a Howard Hustlin’ Tigers squad that blew open what was a close game against the visiting Brainerd Panthers. The 23-20 halftime lead became a 61-47 win because of his interior scoring, passing, and defense in the second half.
Coming out of the locker room, Howard’s Xavier Fisher drove into the middle, and dumped off a pass to Thorne, who softly feathered it in. After helping force a turnover, Thorne drove the ball from the perimeter, threw the ball off the backboard, caught the rebound, and tipped in two more. Brainerd’s coach called a quick timeout to slow the bleeding, but the deficit only grew after that.
PRESENT: Ted Webb, Bob McBride and Frank Parke
Trustees:
⢠Heard from Webb plans for next year are to have separate credit cards for each department head instead of one credit card being used by all departments. Road supervisor Kris Parke’s credit card covers three departments of cemetery, roads and parks. Officials said this will help fiscal officer Cynthia Chapman know where each expense came from;
⢠Heard from fire Chief Dennis Lewis, who was at the Burghill Vernon Fire Department, that 104 COVID-19 vaccines arrived Tuesday and 100 more Dec. 29 for frontline workers and first responders in Trumbull County. He said workers were vaccinated with the Moderna vaccine, which requires two doses;
CORTLAND The Lakeview Board of Education voted unanimously Monday to extend the upcoming winter break.
The schedule rearrangement will tack on the weeklong spring break to the end of winter break. Classes will resume Jan. 11 instead of Jan. 4.
“Our hope is to be back on the hybrid schedule when classes resume, pending what the Trumbull County Health Department says,” Superintendent Velina Jo Taylor said.
Students are expected to be in school during what would have been spring break.
During the public comment portion of the meeting, parents Taylor and Shannon Pease told the board why they feel the move back to in-person learning is needed. They presented data from various entities to implore the board to move back to traditional learning.
