Lady Eagles down Christian County for seventh win
By NEIL GRANT
sportsdesk@octimesnews.com
The Ohio County
High School Lady Eagles improved to 7-18
Monday night with a
53-49 home win over
Christian County. According to Lady Eagle
coach J.P. Cummings,
Monday’s effort was the
fourth strong showing in
a row for the local girls,
despite losing the previ-
ous three.
Ohio County travels
to Brownsville tomorrow night to take on
Edmonson County and
on Saturday pay a visit
to Madisonville-North
Hopkins. Next Monday,
Feb. 16, the Lady Eagles open the final week
of regular-season with
a home contest hosting
Hancock County.
Last Thursday at
Leitchfield, the OCHS
girls played Grayson
County tough, leading
at halftime before falling 66-60. Thursday’s
win pushed the Lady
Cougars to a region-best
18-5 record.
The game was tied 1414 after one period, with
Ohio County going on to
lead 32-28 at halftime. Senior guard Caroline
Nance and sophomore
guard Morgan Marksberry had nine points
each at the intermission
while Sloane Embry had
seven for Grayson Coun-
ty.
Sophomore guard
Grace White had six
points for the host team
in the third period, rallying the Lady Cougars
to a 47-43 lead. Two
free throws each from
Marksberry and four
consecutive points from
junior forward Allison
Druin pulled OCHS
even at 49-49 with 6:58
to play. Marksberry
answered a Grayson
County basket to knot
the score again at 51-51
with 5:39 left, but the
home team then went on
a 9-1 run to move on top
60-52 at the 3:04 mark
and they held on for the
win.
Druin and Marksberry had 17 points each
in a losing effort while
Embry and White tallied 15 each and Maddie
Stewart 12 for Grayson
County.

As a part of last Friday’s Basketball Homecoming 2015 festivities, former Eagle head
coach Paul Decker was
recognized for having
the most career wins
as head coach in the
school’s illustrious history. Decker, a native
of Rockport who was a
star player at OCHS
before returning as an
assistant coach under
Kyle Estes, accepted
an assistant principal
position at Beaver Dam
Elementary last summer.
Succeeding Estes
as head coach in 2006,
Decker guided the Eagles’ fortunes for nine
seasons in which they
compiled a 158-104 record, winning a pair of
10th District championships as well as the
2013 Third Region title. Paul Decker was given a plaque for “All Time Wins Leader” along
with a banner for the 2013 Boys Basketball 3rd Region Championship. Seen above are: Robert Asberry, Paul Decker, Greg Decker,
Angela Alexander and Charles Patton.
The Eagles competed in
the 2013 Sweet Sixteen
State Tournament at
Lexington’s Rupp Are-
na, losing their firstround matchup against
First Region champion
Graves County.

again led at halftime but
could not hold it against
North Hardin, losing 6762. The win pushed the
Lady Trojans to 15-7 on
the year.
Allison Druin had
seven points in the first
eight minutes to help
keep Ohio County close,
trailing 14-13 at quarter’s end. Then a pair
of three-point hoops
from sophomore guard
Cristen Scoggins led the
Lady Eagles to a 31-29
halftime advantage. North Hardin junior
guard Tariah Stanford
got hot for the home team
in the third quarter,
scoring 13 points as the
Lady Trojans grabbed
a 54-46 lead. Caroline
Nance and senior guard
Tate Parker tried to
rally the visitors in the
final eight minutes, getting OCHS to within two
points at 59-57 with 3:25
left. But North Hardin
managed to hold on, as
Parker’s potential-tying
three-point try with the
score 65-62 rimmed out. A pair of NHHS free
throws ended the scoring. Stanford topped all
scorers with 31 points
while Desarae Macklin had 12 and Khelsie
Young 11. Druin had 16
points for OCHS before
exiting late in the third
quarter after sustaining
a blow to the face that
resulted in a reported
broken nose. Scoggins
added 12 and Parker 11
for the Lady Eagles.

Monday versus Christian County, despite the
absence of Druin and
sophomore guard Chelsea Cooper, the Lady
Eagles looked like they
were on their way to
a one-sided win before
the visiting Lady Colonels’ pressure defense
late put the outcome in
real doubt. Tate Parker dropped in eight
first-quarter points, including a layup in the
final seconds to give
OCHS a 16-14 lead. The
home team then went
on to outscore the visitors by 10 points over
the next eight minutes
to carry a 29-17 lead into
halftime.
But the Lady Colonels
rallied in the third period, cutting the deficit to
just five, 36-31. Christian County then scored
the first seven points of
the fourth quarter to
move on top 38-36 with

throws from Parker and

a 45-42 Lady Eagle lead
with 2:19 left.
Two baskets by Lady
Colonel Aaliyah Hampton put the visitors
back on top 46-45 after

Farm Service Agency
FSA Update
FSA Announces New Yield Data for Safety Net
Calculations
Farmers can Update Yield History through Feb.
27, 2015
The U.S. Department of Agriculture Farm Service
Agency (FSA) offers farmers new information to
update program payment yields that will help
them better select protections offered by the
Agricultural Risk Coverage (ARC) and Price Loss
Coverage (PLC) programs. The new programs,
established by the 2014 Farm Bill, are cornerstones
of the commodity farm safety, offering farmers
protection when market forces cause substantial
drops in crop prices and revenues.
The Farm Bill provides landowners with the
option of updating their farm program payment
yields and this is the first time that many producers
have been able to update yields since 1986. FSA
has worked with the Risk Management Agency
(RMA) to make available certified yield data that
producers can use to better calculate how the new
safety net programs can offer the best protection
against market swings.
Producers can check with their local FSA county
office to see if data is available for them. This data
belongs to the producer and only the producer
associated with the crop insurance records will
be provided this service. Updating yield history
or reallocating base acres can occur until Feb. 27,
2015.
FSA also issued a reminder that from Nov. 17,
2014, to March 31, 2015, producers will make a
one-time election of either ARC or PLC for the 2014
through 2018 crop years. For more information,
producers are encouraged to make an appointment
to go into their local FSA county office. To find
a local FSA county office, visit offices.usda.gov.
Additional information on the new programs is
available at www.fsa.usda.gov/arc-plc.
Important
ARC/PLC
Program
Deadlines
Approaching
Producers are reminded that the deadline to
update yield history and/or reallocate base acres
is Feb. 27, 2015. Farm owners and producers
can choose be-tween the new 2014 Farm Bill
established programs, Agriculture Risk Coverage
(ARC) and Price Loss Coverage (PLC) through
March 31, 2015. The new programs, designed to
help producers better manage risk, usher in one of
the most significant reforms to U.S. farm programs
in decades.
USDA helped create online tools to assist in
the decision process, allowing farm owners
and producers to enter information about their
operation and see projections that show what ARC
and/or PLC will mean for them under possible
future scenarios. Farm owners and producers can
access the online resources, available at www.fsa.
usda.gov/arc-plc, from the convenience of their
home computer or mo-bile device at any time.
Covered commodities include barley, canola, large
and small chickpeas, corn, crambe, flaxseed, grain
sorghum, lentils, mustard seed, oats, peanuts, dry
peas, rapeseed, long grain rice, medium grain rice
(which includes short grain rice), safflower seed,
sesame, soybeans, sunflower seed and wheat.
Upland cotton is no longer a covered commodity.
Dates associated with ARC and PLC that farm
owners and producers need to know:
Now through Feb. 27, 2015: Farm owners may
visit their local Farm Service Agency office to
update yield history and/or reallocate base acres.
Now through March 31, 2015: Producers make a
one-time election between ARC and PLC for the
2014 through 2018 crop years.
Mid-April 2015 through summer 2015: Producers
sign contracts for 2014 and 2015 crop years.
October 2015: Payments issued for 2014 crop
year, if needed.
To learn more about which safety net options are
most appropriate for specific farming operations,
farmers can use new Web tools at www.fsa.usda.
gov/arc-plc, which can be accessed from the
convenience of a home computer or a mo-bile
device at any time. To learn more about upcoming
educational meetings, farmers can contact their
local Farm Service Agency county office at http://

Kentucky
growers
are
using
high tunnels to extend
their
crop
seasons.
While it offers a great
opportunity,
anytime
you have production in
an enclosed building
it requires different
management. Growers
can learn to navigate
the
ins-and-outs
of
high tunnel production
through a series of
six webinars, while
answering many of the
questions new growers
have, such as: What is a
“high tunnel”? How is it
different from growing
outside? Is there costshare available? What
do I look for before
buying a high tunnel?
What can I grow in
a high tunnel? What
are the advantages vs
disadvantages of a high
tunnel?
The
University
of
Kentucky College of
Agriculture, Food and
Environment’s Center
for Crop Diversification,
through the Barnhart
Fund for Excellence,
is
sponsoring
the
series, by taking the
information right to
growers homes to make
it more convenient.
The webinars are all

topics being discussed:
