Latest trial date for armed standoff defendant is seven months away
LOGAN – Ten days have been set aside by the Hocking County Common Plea Court for the trial of a Logan man charged with a long list of felonies. They stem from a July 2023 incident in which, when law enforcement officers were called to his home on a report that he was threatening his family members, he allegedly opened fire on the officers with a rifle from inside the residence. Before giving himself up, defendant Steven D. Hardbarger reportedly fired more than 150 rounds, injured a Hocking County Sheriff’s deputy and a Logan Police dog, and damaged four police vehicles. He is facing a 22-count indictment that includes attempted aggravated murder; kidnapping; domestic violence; assaulting a police dog; discharging a firearm on or near prohibited premises; 15 counts of felonious assault; and two counts of vandalism. Many of the charges include firearm specifications, which will add to the length of the sentence If Hardbarger is convicted. Hardbarger, 48, has now been held without bail in the Southeastern Ohio Regional Jail for over three years. He has had trial dates repeatedly set and continued, the first being in August 2024. The latest scheduling sets his trial to begin seven months

Bulldogs bow out of playoffs in shutout loss to Dover
THE PLAINS — Athens did enough in the regular season to earn a first-round bye, but the extended break didn’t translate into a win. The Bulldogs (9-2) wrapped up their 2026 campaign on Friday, falling 41-0 at home to the No. 5-seeded Dover Crimson Tornadoes (10-2). Athens, the No. 4 seed in Division III’s Region 11 bracket, got jumped on early and never recovered as Dover delivered a crushing, season-ending defeat. The Crimson Tornadoes were led by a dominant night from quarterback Dieter Weber, who threw for over 250 yards and four touchdowns in the win. Dover scored five touchdowns in the first half, forcing the running clock rule for the whole second half. Weber connected with Cooper Connare for two touchdowns, and also threw scores to Dailey Rowdy and Brady Hale. Cohen Murray and Dante Clark added rushing touchdowns. It was a night of missed opportunity for the Bulldog offense, playing an aggressive style while behind. The Bulldogs opened with a four-and-out, which Dover made them pay for with a 34-yard catch-and-run by Connare for a touchdown.
