MISSOULA â With one of the largest regional draws in the state and a growing population, Missoulaâs retail sector survived the pandemic relatively unscathed and is showing signs of expanding over the coming year.
Connor McMahon, a retail specialist with Sterling CRE Advisors, said Wednesday that a number of national brands are eyeing the Missoula market and will likely follow the likes of WinCo Foods, Chick-fil-a and SCHEELs into the city.
The exception is standing on the podium with the best in Ohio after the state wrestling tournament.
The Tri-Valley seniors are focused on completing that objective in the Division II state meet on Saturday and Sunday at Marengo Highland High School.
The duo will be joined by first-time qualifiers, Tri-Valley senior Karter Jones and John Glenn freshman Cohen Bunting, who practiced with the group on Monday. I went to state as a freshman and last year never got to wrestle so I ve never been on the podium, said Eckelberry, who is 38-3 at 126 pounds. I want to compete for a state title, but I at least want to be All-Ohio. My goal coming into the season was to stand on the podium, and that s where I want to finish.

With six starters back from a team that led the nation in scoring offense last spring, the talk at Hobart for 2021 was naturally about just that. Especially since the Statesmen were opening their season against a Mount St. Mary’s team that was blasted by 12 goals against Georgetown earlier this week.
So when Hobart took the early lead on Saturday with goals from Jason Knox and Bradley Simas it appeared the Statesmen were on their way. But then the problems you might expect from a team playing its first real game in a full calendar year popped up, and the Mountaineers were all over it.
Gatt finished the race at 10:34 this morning.
The contest came down to the wire.
Gatt, who left the time station 13 minutes ahead of Ed Hopkins, got into Whitehorse only three minutes earlier.
“I thought I had it made,” said Gatt.
“We were pretty even the whole race but I thought that 13 minutes would be enough. When we hit the Takhini River, my sled just stopped and the gangline went tight and I couldn’t make any slack.
“I could see Ed coming up behind me, but the rest is history.”
Gatt said leaving from Pelly, the trail was great, but heading into Whitehorse, he had to deal with the fresh snow that fell last evening and overflow on the river.
