Making a Difference in Remote
Girls Sectionals Communities
Begin Tonight •
By Brian Boyle
Sports Fans, let's travel to
Independence High School tonight
to root for our Lady Bobcats as they
begin the quest for the State Title.
It all starts tonight with the
preliminary round of the Sectionals
at Independence.
The four teams in our Sectional
are Independence, Shady Spring,
Liberty and our Cats.
Independence opens against
Shady Spring at 6:00 PM and then
we play Liberty at 7:45. If we
advance we play the winner of Game
one at Independence this Thursday
Night February 27 at 7:00 for the
Sectional Title.
My crystal ball says we should
play Independence for the title so we
need to turn out to offset the home
court advantage on Thursday as
well.
If we win the sectional title we
will be playing in the Regional which
will be held in Princeton on
Wednesday March 5th. I will let the
readers know next week what teams
will be in the Regional.
But there is a good chance that
we will be there and James Monroe
will be too. Stay tuned and put it on
your calendar.

This past Saturday it was Little
Lady Bobcat Day at the high school.
Girls who wore orange or black from
the grades K through 8 were

admitted free and competed for
prizes. The Summers Middle School
Lady Bobcats were featured as well.
It was great to see the youngsters
taking part.
It was also good that our JV and
Varsity both won their games
against Bluefield as well.
The score of the varsity game was
65 to 53. Mallory Grogg led the way
in scoring with 23 points. Brandi
Basham knocked down ,19 and he
had 9 assists togo with it. Joanna
Mills hit for 11 points, Bluefield is
a big physical team and we squeaked
by earlier in the season in their gym
with a 46 to 43 victory. This game
was a good tune-up for th e sectional
tournament. •
In the JV Game We won it easily
by a score of 66 to 33. Sara Gunnee
knocked in 14 points and had 8
rebounds, Jessica Williams hit for 13
and Sierra Brown.scored 12.
But my favorite performance was
Sarah Blevins who scored 11 and
dished out 11 assists (good passes to
players who score points) to go with
the 11 points to get the only double-
double of the day on either J?€ or
Varsity. Good Job Sarah.
In games previous to the Bluefield
game the Lady Cats got a good win
over triple AAA Greenbrier East (the
winner of the Coal Classic in
Beckley) at home to avenge an
earlier loss to them in Fairlea.
notched a win over them. Then on
Thursday we dropped a game to
Princeton at the Princeton Gym. I
was ill so I didn't get to the games
therefore I don't have much detail
on them. I will fill you in next week
after I do some digging.
I want to remind everyone again
to take the time to get out to the
sectional and regional
championships. These kids work so
hard all season they deserve your
support. They play sick and hurt
and Coach Ryan works them hard.
Right now the kids all seem like they
will be lmalthy for the tournaments.
Our fan support can make the
difference in a close game. Everyone
needs to get off there rusty-dusty's
for these games. Let's not make
excuses.folks our youth deserve our
support for all the hard work they
put in. Let's show them our Bobcat
pride. •
When you read the paper today
call home and make plans to get out
to the game tonight and keep this
Thursday and Wednesday, March
5th open on your schedule. As the
kids would say "Be there or be
square!"
When our Lady Bobcats bring
home the Sectional Title this week
the Town andchool System should
plan a rally next Tuesday night to
get the team and us fans ready for
the Regional Tournament. Good

Part of what makes the Region I
Work4WV Career Center's
successful is its people. People like
Mary O'Brien. Besides her
that each Work4WV Career Center
can offer- whether it's On-The-Job
training programs or information
regarding compliance with basic
accomplished leadership skills, her
genuine care and concern for the
dislocated workers of Summers
County is unmatched'. As
coordinator of one of six satellite
centers, all of which are extensions
of a larger, comprehensive
Work4WV Career Center, OBrien
works one-on-one with the
unemployed and hand-in-hand with
employees to meet continual
workforce need. Aceordn to
O'Brien, having job seeker services
accessibility in each community,
especially remote communities like
Summers County, creates a greater
opportunity for meeting the
individual needs of every dislocated
worker. Dislocated workers have the
opportunity to check job postings
and receive job referrals daily.
Individual attention can be afforded
at the satellite centers as well. "The
technology is so advanced, and a lot
of our folks freeze at the sight of a
computer." O'Brien's goal is to keep
visitors from feeling hopelessly
unemployed, noting, "There is
always a need for jobs." With many
in Summers County receiving
training through the Region 1
Work.force Investment Board,
attempts are being made to increase
individual skill levels to meet
• industry need. Of concern to OBrien
is the large portion of citizenry
which do not possess a GED. "There
are a number of people, not just in
this county that need a GED in order
to go forward. "Some would do it. But
when you say GED or high school
diploma they freeze. If there was a
trade that they could just go and
train for they would probably do it,"
she explains.
GED classes are offered, free of
charge, at each comprehensive
center. Most employers want
someone with a high school diploma
or a GED. "The employer says this
person has really taken the time to
get their education and I can now
train them to go forward," O'Brien
said.
According, to O'Brien, employers
need to inf0rmedof:tle: services
hiring laws. "Some have the concept
that what we are referring is welfare
and they aren't going to work, which
is far from the truth. We are not just
here for the person that is
unemployed, but we are trying to
match the two to an agreeable
situation," O'Brien said. Regardless
of the community in which live,
O'Brien is quick to note there are
those with degrees or a trade who
are looking for work along with
those who are undereducated or
without any kind of skill. Sometimes
there is no simple answer for some
individual situations, but O'Brien
believes with a concerted effort,
solutions can be found. "Sometimes
we have an instant success and they
are hired just like that. And
sometimes it takes several weeks,
months even." Comprehensive
Work4WV Career Centers are
located in Beckley, Summersville,
Welch, Ronceverte, and Princeton.
Satellite Centers are located in
Hinton, Marlinton, Pineville,
Webster Springs, Fayetteville, and
Union. More information about
