Brad McKean, 44, of Cincin- nati, Ohio, sustained a knee in- jury after falling down during a wind gust while hiking on the Osgood Trail at approximately 1:30 PM. McKean contacted his wife when he realized that he was not going to make it back to the trailhead on time. Conservation Officer Matt Holmes contacted McKean via cell phone, and responded to the Great Gulf trailhead. McK- ean was able to borrow a light from another hiker and slowly proceeded down the Osgood Trail, where he met with James Wrigley from AMC. Wrigley as- sisted with getting McKean back to the trailhead, where they arrived at approximately 8:25 PM. McKean had been wearing proper hiking clothing and footwear, and was carrying ade- quate food and water with him at the time of his injury. He was extremely grateful to all those who participated in the rescue effort. Wednesday, August 7, 2013 Hall’s pulls first win of the season

Between every Con- crete basket Bodyline would pull a four or five- point run. Despite a Hall’s time out to regroup this type of two steps forward and only one step back form of play continued until the blue boys tied up the score with 2:30 left in the half, 24-24.
