But with Marbley releasing the liens on the Pugliese property, EGCC’s governance authority is free to proceed with the sale.
U.S. District Judge Algenon Marbley of the Southern District of Ohio lifted a previous order meant to protect the college’s assets — chiefly, the Pugliese building and the Jefferson County Campus — from sale or transfer pending a resolution of a lawsuit filed two years ago by Student Resources Center, the college’s one-time business partner.
Marbley’s pre-judgment attachment order, however, remains in place for the college’s buildings and grounds, currently also the focus of litigation in Jefferson County Common Pleas Court.
STEUBENVILLLE — The federal judge presiding over a multi-million-dollar breach of contract lawsuit involving the now-defunct Eastern Gateway Community College has signed off on the proposed sale of its Pugliese building to Steubenville City Schools, though the deal is at least weeks from being finalized.
But if all goes as planned, the Pugliese Center will be turned into an elementary school serving children in pre-K through Grade 5. Young said the building will require substantial renovations, so the earliest it would be ready for students would be for the 2026-27 school year.
The sale of the building that once housed the Pugliese Training Center at what was Eastern Gateway Community College can proceed, a federal judge has ruled.
Superintendent Melinda Young, though, cautions that it’s not a done deal: The Steubenville City Schools Board of Education still must sign off on it, but the January meeting agenda already has been set, so the earliest a vote can come is February.
Young declined further comment until her board makes its decision.
In December, Judge Michelle Miller ruled that a reversionary clause in the deed of title granted to the college more than 60 years ago is, in fact, enforceable. Still to be decided in her court is whether EGCC breached that educational use requirement, as well as the county’s petition to halt collections of the final two years of a 1-mill, voter-approved levy for the college’s operation and maintenance.
If it goes through, Steubenville City Schools will pay fair market value — somewhere around .1 million, according to court documents — for the 3.07-acre property, which includes the two-story training center along John Scott Highway, across from what was the college’s main campus.
Miller stayed both of those cases, quietly filed by Jefferson County commissioners several months ago to protect taxpayer interests.

DAYTONA BEACH, FLA. – Edwin Sanchez of B-CU Baseball and Kasie Ugeh of B-CU Track & Field have been named Wildcats of the Week for the week of April 21 – April 27, 2025.

Edwin Sanchez proved invaluable as a stopper as he turned in seven strong innings of scoreless ball to lead the Wildcats to a 9-0 win over UAPB in the series finale Sunday. He allowed only three baserunners and struck out four to earn his team-leading seventh win of the season.

Kasie Ugeh finished first in the shot put with a mark of 13.36m, this past weekend at the Knights Invite in Orlando. She also placed second in the discus with a mark of 42.80m and third in the javelin with a mark of 39.75m.

Each week, The Bethune-Cookman Office of Athletic Communications recognizes one male and one female student-athlete through the Wildcats of the Week award.

This award recognizes student-athletes who have excelled in competition, in the classroom, and in the community over the past week, exemplifying the Championship Culture of Wildcat Athletics.

Prince, a 5-11 point guard on the Nebraska women’s basketball team in 2024-25, earned the honor after being named to the Big Ten All-Freshman team. The Omaha, Neb., native who was a two-time Nebraska High School Player of the Year after leading Elkhorn North to four consecutive state championships, averaged 13.4 points, 4.0 rebounds and team bests of 3.8 assists and 1.7 steals for the Huskers.

Prince started 30 games while helping the Big Red to the NCAA Tournament with a 21-12 overall record. Nebraska women’s basketball’s co-Most Valuable Player alongside four-time All-Big Ten selection Alexis Markowski, Prince was the USBWA National Freshman of the Week and Big Ten Freshman of the Week after leading the Huskers to an 87-84 overtime victory at Iowa (Jan. 16) by scoring a game-high 22 points to go along with seven rebounds, five assists and a career-high six steals.

It was one of six 20-point performances for Prince on the season, including a career-high 24 points to go with six assists against No. 4 UCLA in the Big Ten Tournament quarterfinals on March 7. Prince also led the Huskers with 14 points and six assists in the NCAA Tournament against Louisville on March 21.

Prince, an honorable-mention All-Big Ten selection, earned Nebraska’s top female freshman honor over finalists Olivia Mauch (volleyball), Kayla Starr (bowling) and Maddy Moyer (rifle).

Two other Husker women’s basketball players were honored at “A Night at the Lied” for their overall commitment to Nebraska’s Life Skills program. Kendall Coley (Minneapolis, Minn.) and Allison Weidner (Humphrey, Neb.) were named Sam Foltz 27 Hero Leadership award winners.

Braves option Jarred Kelenic to minor leagues, bring back Eddie Rosario

The Atlanta Braves optioned outfielder Jarred Kelenic to Triple-A Gwinnett on Monday and signed free-agent Eddie Rosario to fill his spot on the active roster.

Kelenic was recently the subject of controversy after not running hard on a fly ball he believed was a home run in an April 19 game. The ball hit off the top of the right-field wall, and Kelenic was thrown out at second base when he likely would’ve been easily safe.

Braves manager Brian Snitker did not pull Kelenic from the game for his effort, which got the attention of 2023 National League MVP Ronald Acuña Jr., who posted on social media, “If it were me, they would take me out of the game.”

Acuña’s post was later deleted. Yet plenty of people saw it, and it was brought to Snitker’s attention for the implications of a double standard in how he handled similar situations with Acuña, particularly benching the star outfielder in 2019 for not running out what he believed was a home run and settling for a single.

However, Kelenic has struggled this season, batting .167 with a .531 OPS, two home runs and two doubles in 65 plate appearances. That continued his subpar performance from 2024, during which he hit .231 with a .679 OPS, 15 homers and 45 RBI.

Kelenic was once considered one of MLB’s top prospects after the New York Mets made him their first-round pick in 2018 (No. 6 overall). Dealt to the Seattle Mariners as part of the Robinson Cano trade, he failed to fulfill expectations in three seasons, compiling a .204 batting average and .656 OPS with 32 home runs and 109 RBI. Kelenic was traded to the Braves before the 2024 season.

2021 NLCS MVP returns to Atlanta

Bringing Rosario back should be a popular move with Braves fans, considering his three seasons during which he won NLCS MVP on Atlanta’s run to the 2021 World Series championship. During his career with the Braves, Rosario batted .236 with a .699 OPS, 36 homers and 123 RBI. In the 2021 NLCS versus the Los Angeles Dodgers, Rosario hit .560 (14-for-25) with three homers and nine RBI in the six-game series.

Rosario signed with the Dodgers and began the season in Triple-A before being called up when Shohei Ohtani went on the paternity list. He was designated for assignment when Ohtani returned and opted for free agency rather than returning to the minors.

With Oklahoma City, Rosario batted .339 with a .948 OPS in 69 plate appearances. In two games with the Dodgers, he went 1-for-4 as a designated hitter.

With the emergence of Eli White (.273 average, .897 OPS) and strong performance from Alex Verdugo (.331 average, .841 OPS), Rosario is expected to be a bench player for the Braves and will likely be released again when Acuña is activated from the injured list after recovering from his torn ACL.
