Pillion Opioid epidemic impacts society across spectrum BY DEL. TODD PILLION 4TH DISTRICT

In Southwest Virginia, I represent three of the five counties with the highest fatal overdose rate in the Commonwealth. During the past several months, we have seen in the media and heard at multiple forums the horrifying statistics and stories surround- ing the nation’s opioid epidemic. For many families across Virginia, these tragic stories hit too close to home. While public awareness to this crisis has been growing, progress has been frustratingly slow. It is time to realize that Band-Aids are not a fix for a wound this large. We have to amputate the prescrip- tion supply chain before we lose an employable gen- eration to addiction.

WISE — Without a full roster due to injury, the Central Warriors had suffered two losses in a row after winning their first two games. In a fierce battle between two evenly matched clubs, Central outscored visiting Lebanon 28-23 in exciting action on Friday to get a win. “We didn’t play very well. I thought Lebanon played awfully hard,” Central head coach Luke Owens said. “But a win is a win and that’s what we needed to get back on track. Hopefully we can continue to get peo- ple healthy and continue pushing forward as this season goes along.” Lebanon Pioneers quarterback Coy Stoots lofted a beautiful pass to his brother Cole Stoots who made a great catch between three Central defenders and raced into the end zone with a 53-yard touchdown pass. The pass for the two-point conversion fell incomplete but the Pioneers were down only 28-23 with 3:33 to play. If they could get the ball back, Lebanon would have a chance for the upset. They couldn’t get the ball back. An onside kick was recovered by the Warriors Greyson Stidham. On a 3rd-and-9, Central’s Dalton Mullins hit big tight end Harold Osborne on a slant pattern for a 15-yard gain that gave PHOTO BY RODDY ADDINGTON the Warriors the first down and the ability to run out the clock. “Osborne had some money catches,” said Central Warrior Isaiah McAmis brings in the football during the victory over Lebanon on Friday.
