HEROIC WIN
Harmon to represent Hornets in June’s North/South game
COAL GROVE — Bring on the best.
Dustin Harmon wasn’t expecting to be named to the North/South All-Star Classic, but he likes the idea now that he’s on the squad.
The Coal Grove Hornets 6-foot-2, 275-pound senior lineman has been selected to play for the South team in the annual Ohio High School Football Coaches Association’s annual all-star game at 4 p.m. Saturday, June 14, at Ohio Stadium in Columbus.
“When (Hornets) coach (Dave Lucas) told me he nominated me, I was excited, but I never expected to make the team,” said Harmon. “(The talent level) doesn’t bother me. I look forward to the challenge.”
Gagai finds success as freshman
HIGHLAND HEIGHTS, Ky. — When Dennis Gagai stepped up to the next level, so did his game.
After a stellar career at Ironton High School, Gagai is now a freshman for NCAA Division II Northern Kentucky.
Gagai averaged 10.7 points a game and made a team-high 62 3-point baskets. Always a good foul shooter, Gagai hit 84.6 percent of his free throws.
Gagai was surprised but happy with the award.
“It’s a good award because it’s at a different level. Playing in a conference makes it harder. Every game counts,” said Gagai.
“Yeah, I was (surprised). There were a couple of times where I struggled.
