Salem athletes make college choices offi cial Wednesday, February 4th, was an official NCAA signing day and Salem High athletes gathered, one at a time due to the pandemic, to make their choices known. Above, left to right, Jordan and Jayden McDonald will play football at Virginia Tech, Walker Chambers will wrestle for the new program at Roanoke College, Alex Benne and Luis Geyne are both going to Randolph-Macon to play soccer and Amari Edwards has chosen Virginia University- Lynchburg to play football. Right, Kalei Memmer is heading to Yale and will be on the track and field team. Several other Spartans also selected colleges but weren't on hand for a picture. Dylan Copeland is going to VMI to play soccer, Shawn Collins will join Edwards on the Virginia University-Lynchburg football team and Alyssa Diomedi is headed to Ferrum College for soccer. SUBMITTED PHOTOS GHS swimmers repeat at region The state Class 1 & 2 swim tourna- ment, which was scheduled for today, has been postponed until February 18 due to an anticipated snow storm this week.

Blacksburg was the fourth seed and hosted fifth seed- ed Salem. The Spartans led at the half, 32-30, and held a 41-37 lead after three quarters. However, Blacksburg outscored the Salemites in the fourth quarter, 23-13, making 14 of 16 free throws while Salem was one for two. Nick Owen led Salem with 12 points and Owyn Dawyot had nine. Dawyot fouled out in the fourth quarter but Owen hit two threes and a free throw to keep the Spartans close. Jaelyn Allen had seven points, six coming in the fourth quarter, and Tanner Dallas had six. Blacksburg advanced to Wednesday’s second round at top-seeded Amherst County. The loss ended Salem’s abbre- viated season at 0-6.

At the end of three quarters the Spartans led 20-12 , then they pulled away in the fourth quarter behind several young players . Sophomore My'La Greene scored nine points in the second half to go with eight rebounds and freshman Daisy Ann Dawyot played strong in the post . Kennedy Scales added seven points for the Spartans as they improved to 2-4 on the season. Salem was scheduled to take on the tournament’s top seed, Pulaski County, in Dublin on Wednesday night, but results were too late for publication. The Spartans lost to Pulaski twice during the regular season, including a 59-41 loss at home last week for “Senior Night,” recognizing seniors Moriah Hill, McKenzie Moran . Hayley Merritt and Autumn Poole . “All of them were in the program for four years and in the case of Moran she was a four year varsity player,” said Salem assistant coach Brad Bradley. “They all have been a huge part of our program and will be greatly missed.” If Salem was able to upset Pulaski the Spartans would play in the regional championship Friday at the Left, Salem's Moriah Hill shoots a jumper from close range over Blacksburg's Ellie Gresh (12).

He visited five times as a player and coach for the Mount Union football team when the Purple Raiders played in the Stagg Bowl at Salem Stadium. Sirianni was a receiver from 2000 to 2003, and all four years the Raiders made the Division III cham- pionship game. They beat St. John’s, Bridgewater and Trinity the first three years but lost to St. John’s in 2003 in a memorable game his senior year. The “Johnnies” were led by legendary coach John Gagliardi, who the Division III Player of the Year trophy is named after. Sirianni returned to Salem in 2005 as a member of the Mount Union coaching staff and the Raiders beat Wisconsin-Whitewater that season, 35-28, in the first of many meetings between the two. Sirianni’s older brother Mike played for Mount Union in the first Stagg Bowl held in Salem in 1993. After the 2005 season Sirianni moved around, climbing the coaching ladder to the point where he was the offensive coordinator for the Indianapolis Colts. That led him to Philadelphia as an NFL head coach, but he’s never forgotten his Mount Union roots. In a story by Steve Doerschuk of “The Repository” Sirianni relates the following story about his former college coach, Larry Kehres, who has been in Salem enough times to pay taxes. Doerschuk wrote. . ."When he(Sirianni) began to explore coaching, he interviewed with his college coach, Larry Kehres, for Mount Union's offensive coordinator job. Kehres asked Sirianni what kind of Walker Chambers(above) and Cameron Martindale(on offense he might like to install. Sirianni presented top, right) are Region 4D wrestling champions. some specific ideas and was surprised when Kehres PHOTOS BY BRIAN HOFFMAN pounded the table. "You don't even know what play- ers we'll have," Kehres said. "Until you know that, you won't know what our offense needs to be." Spartans are runner-up on Region 4D mats, Sirianni applied the concept after he actually landed a job with Kehres, and 15 years later he’s an NFL head coach.

With the win Glenvar advanced to the semis against undefeated Radford on Wednesday. Monday’s game at James River was a close game between two very evenly matched teams. No one led by more than five and the lead changed hands many times. Glenvar led by two after one quarter, River led by one at the half and the game was dead-even, 39-39, after three. River had a one point lead at 47-46 with 1:27 on the clock but the Highlanders went six-for-six from the line as Christian Housh, Garrett Hendrick and Barber made two shots each while denying River on the other end to take a five point lead at 52-47 with 34 seconds to go. Then River mounted a comeback. Patrick Clevenger got inside for a layup to cut the lead to three and River fouled, with Tyler Johnson hit- ting one of two. River’s Jayson Easton scored to cut the lead to two and again River fouled and Hendrick made one of two as Glenvar led 54-51 with 12 sec- onds on the clock. After a timeout Easton took a shot from two steps behind the line at the top of the key, and it bounced on the rim before settling into twine with 2.5 seconds to go. “I told our guys to foul them on the drive to let them shoot two shots,” said Mann. “We don’t foul Glenvar teammates swarm Stephen Barber(#3) after his three-quarter court shot at the buzzer beat James River. continued on page 12 PHOTO BY BRIAN HOFFMAN Tyler Brown is new Glenvar athletic director Glenvar High School has a new match when I was young.
