The normal incubation time for these viruses is generally less than 14 days.” The standard operating procedures for Anderson County PAWS call for either the euthanasia or quarantine of all animals that may have been exposed to parvovirus. The PAWS management team has decided to impose a two-week quarantine in order to avoid the unnecessary mass euthanasia of the animals. Not all animals at PAWS are subject to the quarantine, and no dogs or cats involved with any current court cases are at risk. However, day-today public access will be limited during the two-week quarantine period. •PAWS will not accept any dropoffs or surrenders of animals by the general public until the two-week quarantine is lifted. Animals seized by law enforcement during that time will continue to be received at the PAWS facility. For the rest of the story, please pick up a print edition of this week’s News-Chronicle!

Free throws, dunks sink Razorbacks NEWS-CHRONICLE - February 4, 2015 - Page 5 HONEA PATH -- The BHP boys’ basketball team picked up two more region wins last week as it defeated Walhalla 72-59 and West-Oak 53-45. It took six minutes before the Bears could get their offense going against Walhalla, who opened the game with a three-man weave at mid court. The other Razorback players camped in the two corners and waited for an opportunity to break for the basket. “Their weave ran time off the clock and they tried to get us out of our rhythm,” said BHP coach Russ Tysl. “They also ran a box-and-one on AT [Aaron Taylor] and we didn’t expect that.” The Bears countered with a zone defense to prevent Walhalla from holding the ball. BHP tied the game at two and four points before taking an 8-7 lead when Xavier Hawthorne scored a lay-up off a tipped ball by Malcolm Williams. After the Razorbacks tied the game at eight, Hawthorne went coast-to-coast and the Bears never trailed again. They doubled their score over the last minute and a half of the first quarter. Hawthorne, Marcus Williams and Juwann Abney made a good defensive play and got a 10-second call on the the Razorbacks. Malcolm Williams scored on a lay-up. Hawthorne hit from outside the arc. Aaron Taylor stole the ball, passed to Hawthorne, who passed to Marcus Williams, who to the delight of the fans, performed a two-hand slam. Both twin towers, Marcus and Malcolm, had a dunk in the second quarter and Taylor dished out two assists. The Bears led by seven at the half. The Bears returned to the court with a 12-2 run over the first four minutes of the third quarter. Their lead dwindled to 10 by the end of the quarter. With less than two minutes left to play, Walhalla tried to cut into the lead by fouling. Taylor and Hawthorne sank a combined eight free throws to stop the attempt. However, the Razorbacks sank two three-pointers over the same time frame to add even more pressure. Malcolm Williams scored 17 of his game-high 27 points over the last 16 minutes. Hawthorne, who had a dozen second half points, chipped in 23 for the game. He had nerves of steel on the free throw line, sinking seven of eight, and made six in a row over the last 48 seconds. “I want to be clutch for my team,” said Hawthorne. “I wanted to knock them down. I practice free throws every day and I never doubted they were going in.” The lean-mean-dunking machines, both over 6 foot, 5 inches, had a total of five dunks for the game, with Malcolm slamming three. “All five of our starters can dunk so it’s anybody’s game and it’s fun,” said Tysl. “A dunk gets the crowd into the game. They like to see them. As a team we’ve had over 40 for the season.” It was another up and down game with BHP’s lead tottering between 17 and four points throughout the last three quarters. “We never could sustain that 15-point edge,” said Tysl. “I just NEWS CHRONICLE PHOTO - Debbie Rogers BHP SENIOR BAILEY SMITH RESPONDS to camoflauged fans, who cheer for him as he waits for wanted us to keep our foot on the gas. When you’re the better team, you don’t want teams that are not as good hanging around and feeling like they can play with you. “Despite the closeness at times, I never really thought the game was in doubt. Tonight was another spurt game. We were outstanding in spurts and not so outstanding in other spurts. I’m happy with a 13-point, win at home.” BHP came from behind Friday to beat West-Oak on the road. After trailing by three after the first eight minutes, the Bears went on a 16-12 run to take a one-point lead to the locker room. Both teams had trouble scoring in the third quarter. The Bears (146, 10-0) outscored the Warriors 7-4 over the eight minutes. BHP took charge in the fourth the official to give him the ball for an inbounds play during a varsity basketball game last week. with a 21-17 run to remain unbeaten in region play. “It was a sloppily played quarter by both teams,” said Tysl. “WestOak held the ball for at least 25-30 seconds on all their possessions, so in turn we began rushing shots and not trying to get the best shot. There were also several fouls called, so neither team was able to get in a good flow. It was an ugly, ugly game from a pure spectator standpoint. Honestly, I feel bad for the people who paid $5 to come watch.” The Bears will play Seneca at home Friday. Bear fans need to fill the gym for this important region game.

HONEA PATH -- The Lady Bears fought off a fourth-quarter surge by Walhalla Friday and came out with a 50-44 region win. Leading 26-20 at the half, BHP outscored the Razorbacks 14-6 in the third quarter to take a comfortable lead. The comfort soon changed to intensity as Walhalla hit four long three’s and the Lady Bears (14-4, 7-2) saw a 16-point lead dwindle to 10 with 2:40 left in the game. Zipporah Scott slowed the game with her dribble and ran time off the clock. “Walhalla is a very good team,” said BHP coach Rafael Traynum. “They’ve had some very close losses in the region. Senior leader Brianna Richardson is a tough cover.” The job to contain Richardson was given to Dominique Duck. “She did a great job on her to hold her down,” said Traynum. “Walhalla is a very dangerous team. We only beat them by two at their place. I have a lot of respect for them and their new coach.” Walhalla’s coach agreed with Traynum. “They held my best player,” he said. “I’m proud of my girls for the way they executed in the third quarter to extend the lead,” said Traynum. “We needed that lead because they got hot in the fourth quarter. I’m thankful that we had enough cushion to survive that. They moved the ball and scored quickly, but we made enough plays to win.” Scott took high-game honors with 25, 18 coming in the first half. Vieandra Dixon added 18 points. No results were reported for the game with West-Oak.
