From Staff Reports
PAULDING Firemen
were called around noon on
Feb. 11 to 613 Lincoln Ave. in
Paulding for a house fire. Nick
Martinez and Val Urey and
their family resided in the
home, which was a total loss.
Three area fire departments
battled the blaze, which began
in the garage. When it reached
nearby flammables, it caused
an explosion that knocked
Nick and his friend to the
ground. The house immediate-
ly filled with smoke.
Val wrapped her two chil-
dren, Maggie, 18 months, and
Nicholas, 3, in a blanket and
crawled out to safety. Two
older daughters, Lexy, 14, and
Maria, 17, were at school.
Nick and his friend were
transported to the hospital and
treated for smoke inhalation.
On scene were four
Paulding fire units and two
each from Cecil/Crane
Township and Payne, plus
both Paulding EMS units.
The Martinez family rented

JUNCTION Recently the Diocese of
Toledo was notified that the former
Junction St. Mary Church will be sold by
the current owners, the Junction
Community Center Inc.
In July 2005, Bishop Leonard Blair de-
creed that the St. Mary Church Junction
be closed and its territory divided among
other parishes, even though there were
100 families registered and the atten-
dance at the services were averaging 150
at Sunday masses. The parishioners were
disappointed that their church was being
closed.
However, it was agreed that the church
could be used as a chapel until 2007 or
until Father Sherger retired. Sherger re-
tired in June 2007 and that is when the
last mass was conducted at St. Mary
Junction Church.
It was in October and November of
2007 that the Diocese hired contractors to
remove various items from the 100-year-
old church such as the baptismal fount,
crucifix, stations of the cross and taberna-
cles.
Also on the removal list were approxi-
mately 29 stunning and very valuable
stained glass windows, which had been
installed in 1908. Most, if not all, were
purchased and donated by parishioners.
The Gothic-style windows, which
were made in Germany, were as large as
6 feet wide and 15 feet tall.
However, the contractors who came to
the site to remove property were not pre-
pared for the many parishioners on scene
to put a halt to the removal of the win-
dows and sacred items.
An injunction was filed and granted
against the Toledo Diocese to halt re-
moval of property and the windows. This
also occurred in 2007.
It would take until 2009 before all the
restrictions and legalities were in place
before the parishioners got the property
and the Junction Community Center Inc.
was formed.
The group wanted to save the old
building; however, there were a lot of re-

Correspondent
PAULDING - Following
discussions that included
two meetings between
school officials and Relay
For Life personnel, it ap-
pears an agreement has been
reached to allow the annual
Mini Relay to continue at
Paulding Exempted Village
Schools.
Earlier this year, the deci-
sion was made by superin-
tendent Bill Hanak and his
administration to discontin-
ue the Mini Relay under its
existing format.
Basically both sides had
to compromise a little. We
developed a new set of
guidelines and we now have
a joint plan that will allow us
to move forward, said
Hanak.
The Progress attempted to
contact several Relay For
Life leaders for comment,
but did not receive any re-
sponses by press time.
Hanak, along with other
school officials, had several
concerns about the Mini
Relay. One concern was the
number of hours the event
involved of school instruc-
tion time. Another concern
was the possibility of other
groups or organizations
wanting the same advantage
when it came to fundraising
within the school.

Right now we have a plan
in place for the Mini Relay.
We will re-evaluate it each
year, but right now we are ex-
cited about the opportunity to
have the Relay. In the end, the
kids win and thats what we
feel is most important, said
Hanak.
The Mini Relay is sched-
uled to take place during the
afternoon on the second to
last day of school.
Over the past three years,
PEVS students and staff have
raised more than $57,000 to
fight cancer.
When Relay For Life mem-
bers had received word that a
Mini Relay would not be held
under the previous setup, the
school administration asked
them to submit proposals that
would help address and an-
swer how they could better
meet the schools concerns.
At Januarys school board
meeting, several people sup-
porting the Mini Relay were
in attendance and the propos-
als were submitted at that
time.
According to Hanak, the
Relay For Life proposals did
not satisfy the administration
and the Mini Relay was at
that point canceled.
We are moving forward.
In fact, other community
groups have said they would
like to help with the Relay.
This will be a good thing be-
cause it will relieve our staff,
said Hanak.
In the end, this was a
good, positive thing that was
done within the rules. Karen
Saxton from Relay For Life,
was wonderful to work with
and I believe both sides feel
good about the outcome,
concluded Hanak.
strictions put on our owner-
ship at the time as to what the
church could be and could
not be used for, said Sue
Brown, a former church
member and secretary and a
part of the Junction
Community Center Inc.
The group rented it out for
music, two parish reunions
and several rented the build-
ing for both parties and meet-
ings. The grounds were also
used for office space during
the installation of sewers in
the Junction-Five Span area.
However, it got to be too
costly to meet expenses such
as the upkeep, heat, electricity,
taxes and insurance.
There seemed no other
choice than to let the building
go back to the Diocese. Joe
Burkard, who had provided
legal counsel from the begin-
ning, notified the Diocese.
The Diocese replied that they
were not in the position to
take ownership. He was also
told that all restrictions would
be lifted except that it could
not be used as an abortion
clinic.
It was in 2013, the decision
was made to sell it.
Last month, on Jan. 20-21,
Diocese contractors were on
scene again to remove the
stained glass windows.
Chancellor Monte Hoyles of
the Toledo Diocese said, We
removed 15 figural windows
and two large windows. A
company from Cleveland re-
moved them and recovered
them with a product called
Lexan. They were crated, pre-
served and catalogued.
The donation name plates
have been removed from the
windows and after verifying
lineage, are being returned to
family members. In fact, we
have sent out two of the name-
plates.
The stations of the cross
that were removed went to a
church in the south which was
rebuilt following a hurricane.
The windows could possibly
go to a church that may re-
build or need a window.
Brown said, The sale is
pending, but I am happy that
someone has purchased the
building with the intent of pre-
serving it.
We knew our church was
gone, but our main intent from
the beginning, was to preserve
the building. It is sad the win-
dows had to be removed, but
there was no way to stop that
from happening.
I do remember we were
the oldest church in the entire
area, including Defiance,
noted Brown. We are also
hoping that the sale will be
completed soon.
If you are a surviving mem-
ber of a family that donated
one of these windows and
would like the nameplate,
please contact the Rev. Monte
Hoyles, Chancellor of the
Diocese of Toledo, 1933
Spielbusch Avenue, Toledo
OH 43604.
In the written request,
please indicate the family lin-
eage for verification purposes.

Growing up as a child, I remem-
ber reading or hearing on the news
about eagles, owls and grizzly bears
becoming extinct. Now, as a child, I
thought that extinct meant these
creatures smelled. Well, the word
does sound like stink.
But, within the past few days,
House leaders in D.C. say its time
to take these species off the endan-
gered list. The U.S. government has
spent millions of dollars trying to
save more than 1,500 animal and
plant species listed as endangered
or threatened.
Now the talk is of an overhaul to
the 1973 Endangered Species Act,
giving states more authority over
imperiled species and limiting liti-
gation from wildlife advocates.
Environmentalist credit the act
with saving species from extinction
and say that hundreds more are on
the path to recovery, The
Endangered Species Act enjoys
support among environmentalists.
Heres how some species have
fared since being added to the list:
Grizzly bears were listed as
threatened in the lower 48 states. In
1975, after nearly being wiped out,
Yellowstone National Park has
numbers of around 700.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service is considering removing
federal protection for the grizzlies
in Wyoming, Montana and Idaho.
About 1,000 grizzlies live outside
the Yellowstone area, while 30,000
of the bears in Alaska has never
been threatened.
The spotted owl was listed as
threatened in the 1990s because of
loss of old growth forest habitat to
logging. The establishment of mil-
lions of acres of national forests to
protect, not just the owls habitat,
but also salmon and a host of other
species.
Despite the logging cutbacks, the
owl has continued to decline by
about 3 percent yearly. Scientists
have figured out that a different
type of owl from Canada is aggres-
sively driving away the spotted owl.
The bald eagle is the official sym-
bol of the United States and nearly
became extinct through hunting and
the widespread use of the pesticide
DDT. In 1963, there were just 417
of the birds documented in the na-
tion.
More than $574 million was
spent on the eagles recovery
through 2007, the year its numbers
reached about 10,000 mating pairs
in the lower 48 states and it was
taken off the list. It is illegal to kill
a bald eagle under a 1940 law
passed by Congress.
The Fish and Wildlife Service
says the bald eagle is now known or
believed to be in all lower 48 states
along with Alaska, where it was
never considered threatened. I have
seen a bald eagle in four different
states and three different counties in
Ohio.

tree sale is still going on. Stop in at

PAULDING On Friday, Sheriff Jason
Landers announced the addition of two new
means of communication within the sheriffs
office.
My staff has created accounts with Nixle
and Twitter, to go along with the current
Facebook account that has been in place for
more than a year, Landers said.
Nixle is a service that is free to public safe-
ty agencies, and is utilized to get information
out to subscribers instantly. This is the same
system that the Paulding County EMA office
uses to get information out to the public dur-
ing weather related events.
My goal is to utilize these sources of com-
municating to alleviate literally hundreds of
phone calls my emergency dispatchers take
during inclement weather, said Sheriff
Landers.
Anyone wishing to sign up to receive future
messages from the sheriffs office should log
on to www.nixle.com and follow the sign up
free link, or simply text your ZIP code to
888777 to only receive SMS messages.
Those who are currently a subscriber of the
Paulding EMA do not have to subscribe
again.
This system works off of ZIP codes, mean-
ing anyone registered under the 45879 ZIP
code will receive any message sent to that ZIP
code from either agency.
For anyone wanting to follow the sheriffs
office on Twitter, log into your account and
search for @sheriffpaulding. Please dont
confuse the local office with Paulding County,
Georgia.
In order to follow Landers office on
Facebook, log into your account and search
f o r
www.facebook.com/PauldingCountySheriffs
Office and click Like.
I believe in order to reach the citizens of
this county in a timely fashion, I have to take
this office to the next level of communication
which is on the Internet and cellular. We have
created a very nice website at www.pauldin-
gohsheriff.com and now we will venture fur-
ther into social media, Landers said.
Please bear with me as I decide what is ap-
propriate for this type of communication. I am
always open for suggestions as well.
The sheriff said he does not monitor these
sites personally; the dispatch staff oversees
this along with their daily obligations. If any-
one tries to reach out to the sheriff or his staff
via these sites and need something addressed
quickly, do not assume they will see a request
in a timely manner. Instead, Landers said, use
the office number at 419-399-3791 or dial 911
in the event of an emergency.

LIMA The forecast says
snow is coming ...again.
For a motorist, that may
bring a feeling of dread. But
for plow operators with the
Ohio Department of
Transportation, its an oppor-
tunity to carry out the depart-
ments signature service
snow and ice control.
Within the eight-county re-
gion of ODOT District 1, ap-
proximately 194 drivers rotate
operation of approximately
124 trucks during the course
of a winter storm.
ODOT District 1 encom-
passes Allen, Defiance,
Hancock, Hardin, Paulding,
Putnam, Van Wert and
Wyandot counties.
This winter has been the
most expensive in recent
memory in terms of costs. But
the human side of the winter
cannot be told in dollars.
To date, the average num-
ber of hours worked per plow
operator in snow and ice oper-
ations is over 250 hours and
the average number of miles
driven per driver is 7,400,
said Kirk Slusher, Ohio
Department of Transportation
District 1 deputy director.
Another telling stat is that
since the first snow event in
mid November, ODOT crews
have been in trucks on the
highways combating ice and
snow 43 of the last 90 days
and have driven over one mil-
lion miles.
For much of our work
force, this winter has resulted
in more hours spent at work
than at home, he said. Their
response to this winter has
been phenomenal. They have
answered the call and will
continue to do so until winter
ends.
ODOT drivers are well pre-
pared for winters such as this
by attending an annual snow
and ice school. In addition,
newer drivers spend several
hours in the truck with a men-
tor until they gain needed
knowledge. This winter has
been challenging but also edu-
cational. We have newer driv-
ers who have gained experi-
ence in snow and ice control
that some of their coworkers
waited years to get, said
Slusher.
Within the eight-county re-
gion of ODOT District 1, the
worst winter in recent memo-
ry in terms of cost was the
winter of 2010-11 which to-
taled $5.58 million for snow
and ice control costs. So far
this winter, the district has
spent $6.9 million.

The Amish Cook
By: Lovina Eicher
chocolate pudding, angel
food cake dessert, peaches
and Swiss roll bars. We
frosted the top of the bars so
we could put Happy Birth-
day Mose on it so it could
work as a cake since he likes
the bars.
We made enough food so
we could have an easy supper
here. If the weather would
have been nicer we would
have all went along with
Susan to Moses place. But
there was a winter storm
warning out so we werent
sure how the weather would
be by evening. It sounds like
Mose had a nice birthday in
spite of the weather.
Daughter Verena is enjoying
the sunny south right now. She
was offered an expense free
trip to the Sarasota/Pinecraft
area in Florida with some
friends of ours. I talked with
her yesterday and she is enjoy-
ing the warm weather. They
spent the day at the Siesta Key
beach and it was 77 there. It is
difficult to imagine that it is ac-
tually warm in some places of
the world.
Verena left Monday morn-
ing around 9:45 a.m. By late
evening they were in North
Carolina where they spent the
night at a distant relative of
mine. They reached Sarasota
around 8 p.m. Tuesday
evening. Our house has
seemed empty ever since
with Verena not around.
We are already into the sec-
ond month of 2014. Many,
many inches of snow have
fallen already this year. Our
neighbor cleaned out our
drive again yesterday. We
have some pretty big snow
banks that have accumulated
from the drive being cleaned
out quite often.
We are finally experiencing
a real Michigan winter. We
havent had one since we
moved here 10 years ago.
This morning our thermome-
ter showed a cold 9.
This cold weather makes us
still enjoy working on 1,000-
piece puzzles when time al-
lows and in the evenings. We
are almost halfway done with
the sixth one this winter.
Some are harder than others.
It depends on the picture and
the shape of the puzzle
pieces.
This last one is not as fun
as a lot of the pieces are the
same shape. You have to be
careful that a piece doesnt
get put in the wrong place. It
can look like it would fit in
easily when its not where it
belongs.
Yesterday, Feb. 5, was
Susans friend, Moses, birth-
day. Susan wanted to take
supper in to his family in
honor of his birthday.
I helped her make the food
which consisted of pizza
casserole, lettuce salad,
freezer pickles, hot peppers,
I think this will be a mem-
orable trip for her and am
glad she had such a wonder-
ful opportunity to go. Our
family visited the same place
in 2011 while doing some
book signings, but at that
time Verena had her foot in a
walking boot and couldnt
enjoy the ocean as well.
We miss her very much and
will be glad when shes back
home safe and sound. She
should be back home next
week some time. Blessings to
all.

Ohio deer season closes with
more than 191,000 harvested
COLUMBUS Deer-archery season ended
Sunday, Feb. 2, bringing all deer hunting sea-
sons to a close. Ohio hunters checked 191,459
white-tailed deer during the 2013-2014 hunt-
ing season for all implements.
Hunters checked 218,910 deer during the
2012-2103 hunting season. This expected de-
cline in the deer hunter harvest comes follow-
ing several years of liberal bag limits and deer
regulations, which helped bring Ohios white-
tailed deer population closer to target levels.
The Ohio counties that reported the most
checked deer for all implements during the
2013-2014 season: Coshocton (6,270), Tus-
carawas (5,774), Licking (5,711), Muskingum
(5,547), Guernsey (5,307), Ashtabula (4,981),
Harrison (4,533), Knox (4,529), Carroll
(4,203) and Athens (4,053). Coshocton
County also reported the most deer harvested
in 2012-2013 (7,413).
Hunters continue to utilize various methods
to report deer kills. Since the deer season
began on Sept. 28, 2013, 47 percent of hunters
phoned in their report, 32 percent reported on-
line, 11 percent traveled to a license agents
location, and 10 percent used the new mobile-
friendly website.
A list of local white-tailed deer checked by
hunters during Ohios 2013-14 hunting season
is shown below. The first number following
the countys name shows the harvest numbers
for 2013-14, and the 2012-13 numbers are in
parentheses. Defiance: 1,576 (1,911); Henry:
642 (750); Paulding: 1,047 (1,194); Putnam:
687 (786); Van Wert: 491 (638); Williams:
1,903 (2,096). Total: 191,459 (218,910).
Sales closing date for spring crops
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. Producers of spring-
planted crops in Illinois, Indiana, Michigan and
Ohio that are interested in buying crop insurance,
or making a change to an existing policy, can do
so until the March 15 sales closing date.
Crop insurance can protect producers from
natural disasters which affected crop yields
and revenues. Producers have a number of
coverage choices, including yield coverage,
revenue protection and area risk policies. Rev-
enue protection safeguards a producer from
yield losses and price movement. Area risk
plans replace the group plans of insurance
(GRP/GRIP) and offer coverage based on
county yield data, where available.
Brian Frieden, director of USDA Risk Man-
agement Agencys Springfield Regional Of-
fice, urges producers to contact a crop
insurance agent for details. Crop insurance is
sold and delivered solely through private crop
insurance agents.
Agents can help producers determine what
policy works best for their operation and re-
view current policyholders existing coverage
to ensure the policy meets their needs. A list
of crop insurance agents is available at all
USDA Service Centers or on the RMA web-
site at www.rma.usda.gov/tools/agents/.
Heritage group to present talks on
Underground Railroad in Maumee Valley
The Maumee Valley Her-
itage Corridor announces that
it will present free public his-
tory programs about the Un-
derground Railroad on Feb.
22 at the Fort Wayne Mu-
seum of Art, and on Feb. 23
at Historic Sylvania Village.
Join in at either Fort Wayne
or Sylvania for this new Lay-
ers of History presentation,
by MVHC executive director
Angie Quinn.
Quinn has researched and
written about the Under-
ground Railroad, abolition
and reform movements of the
mid 19th century since the
1990s, and has presented pro-
grams throughout Indiana.
She is excited about the
wealth of materials about the
efforts of so many to make
themselves and others free
throughout the Maumee wa-
tershed area.
On Feb. 22, the program
will be presented at 1:45 p.m.
at the Fort Wayne Museum of
Art, 311 E. Main St. The Fort
Wayne Museum of Art, in
collaboration with the
African/ African American
Historical Society and Mu-
seum and the Three Rivers
Institute of Afrikan Arts and
Culture is presenting Under-
ground No More: A Sympo-
sium on the Underground
Railroad from 1-5 p.m.
The event is in conjunction
with the exhibition Varia-
tions upon a Theme: Songs of
the Underground Railroad,
an installation by Oberlin
artist Johnny Coleman. Local
and regional scholars will be
presenting on different topics
associated with the Under-
ground Railroad and Cole-
man will present on his
installation. There is a small
entrance fee to the museum.
On Feb. 23, the program
will be held at the Sylvania
Historic Village at 2 p.m. Syl-
vania was a frequent stop for
self-emancipated peoples as
they traveled towards free-
dom in Canada. This event is
free.
Paulding-Putnam Electric
board approves rate revision
PAULDING At their reg-
ular meeting on Feb. 13, the
Cooperative Board of
Trustees approved several
rate revisions for their mem-
bers.
The board approved a re-
vision to the residential rates
that will increase rates ap-
proximately 4 percent for all
residential members, said
George Carter, Paulding-Put-
nam CEO/general manager.
The average residential
member will see their electric
bill increase about $6 per
month, which will include
both a change to the monthly
service charge and the distri-
bution energy charge.
Carter noted that the gener-
ation and transmission por-
tion of the billing will not be
affected.
John Saxton, board presi-
dent, called the increase nec-
essary because of two main
factors.
First, the cooperative is
committed to improving reli-
ability and service to mem-
bers. Our investment in the
poles, wires, transformers and
other infrastructure must con-
tinue to meet member needs,
said Saxon. Second, our
power costs continue to in-
crease. In 2013 alone, we saw
an additional 2 percent in-
crease from our suppliers.
In the past five years, the
cooperative has invested
more than $26 million into
the infrastructure needed to
serve the members. Carter
stated that plans are being
made for the next construc-
tion cycle and he expects an
additional $20 million to be
invested over the next four
years.
The new rates will become
effective with the billing
statements members will re-
ceive in March. The increase
will not only affect residential
rates, but will also impact the
other rates as well. Members
are encouraged to visit the co-
operatives website at
www.ppec.coop for more in-
formation on the revision.
Perhaps you sent a lovely card,
or sat quietly in a chair;
Perhaps you
sent beautiful flowers,
If so, we saw them there.
Perhaps you sent or spoke
kind words
As any friend could say;
Perhaps you were not
there at all
Just thought of us that day.
Whatever you did to
console the heart,
We thank you so much,
whatever the part.

Sheriffs Report
Ohio farmers and
families will benefit
from tax cuts
By David T. Daniels
Director, Ohio Department of Agriculture
If you are lucky enough to be among the 2 percent of the
population to proudly call yourself a farmer in Ohio, the
changes you have experienced in the last few years may have
felt a bit like a roller coaster. From record high rainfall to the
worst drought in more than 50 years, our farmers are fighting
the odds to fulfill the most important job on earth.
Fortunately, Ohio farmers will see some tax relief this new
tax filing season as Ohio ushers in the largest tax cut in the
nation which will bring more certainty and stability to Ohio
farmers and support our $105 billion food and agriculture in-
dustry. Personal income taxes are 8.5 percent lower this year
and small businesses will see the benefit of a 50 percent tax cut
on top of Ohios new lower rate. Its part of a $2.7 billion tax cut
that was approved last summer by Governor John Kasich.
As part of this tax cut, a small business owner can exclude 50
percent of Ohio net business income from the adjusted gross in-
come they report on their Ohio personal income tax return.
Small business owners organized as Limited Liability Corpora-
tions, partnerships, sole proprietorships, or as S-corporations re-
port their business income on their personal income tax return.
If the business has multiple owners, each is eligible to claim
the deduction. This exclusion is available on up to $250,000,
meaning the deduction is capped at $125,000 for each investor
or owner.
Two years ago, Ohio provided relief through income tax cuts
and the elimination of the states estate tax, better known as the
death tax, saving Ohioans $800 million. Often, owning just
one of the pieces of machinery a farmer uses everyday meant
the family would be forced to pay the death tax. His actions ver-
ified that farmers shouldnt be penalized for owning the capital
needed to grow our nations food. Thanks to Governor Kasich,
farmers are no longer burdened with long-term financial plan-
ning and payments just to do their job.
Its one reason Ohios private sector has gone from losing
hundreds of thousands of jobs to adding more than 170,000 jobs
since 2011, and the agricultural jobs prospects are only going to
get better.
In order for Ohio to remain a leader in job creation, our
farmers and other small business owners must be able to in-
vest their capital in innovation and new positions not in
higher taxes. That is why Gov. Kasich has been so steadfast
on cutting taxes. In a time when commodity prices are falling
and input costs are rising, Ohio is committed to ensuring that
agriculture remains a commercially viable pursuit in Ohio.
In addition to the tax cuts, Ohio gave a billion dollars in
workers compensation rebates back to private and public
customers. The rebates were made possible thanks to strong
investments and sound fiscal management. Agribusinesses
are using this rebate to invest in new equipment and upgrade
safety features and infrastructure.
The governor understands that it is our job in state govern-
ment to remove unnecessary barriers to industry and to per-
sonal success, particularly one so important to our well-being
and quality of life. These tax cuts and rebates will put more
money into the hands of Ohioans who can reinvest those dol-
lars into our families and our businesses.
For Ohio farmers, these tax cuts mean you will be more ef-
ficient and more productive, and you will invest more back
into your local communities. For the rest of us, we get to
enjoy the benefits of an abundant, wholesome and, most im-
portantly, affordable food supply.

essarily reflect that of the newspaper.

ESCs celebrate
100 years
of service
Dear Editor,
Educational Service Cen-
ters (ESCs) are celebrating
100 years of educational
service. ESCs were first es-
tablished as county offices
of education in 1914. West-
ern Buckeye ESC was previ-
ously known as the Paulding
County Board of Education
and Van Wert County Board
of Education. Over time,
county offices evolved from
regulatory agencies to serv-
ice-oriented agencies and, in
the mid-1990s, became
ESCs and experienced sev-
eral statutorily required
mergers and consolidations.
The Western Buckeye
ESCs main objectives are to
support improved academic
outcomes and reduce cost to
partner schools through a
shared services delivery
model. This includes sharing
speech, occupational, and
physical therapists. We also
share school psychologists,
gifted education and grant
writing personnel. Western
Buckeye ESC provides cur-
riculum directors and special
education directors to meet
the needs of our partner
schools. The overall goal of
our agency and staff is to
positively impact student
achievement. ESCs all over
Ohio are providing similar
academic and operational
support services to schools.
As a matter of fact, 97 per-
cent of school districts
statewide are actively en-
gaged with their local ESC.
Other ESC instructional
services include Itinerant
special education and related
services staff, paraprofes-
sional support, preschool
special education support,
21st Century after-school
programs, and alternative
schools. Our alternative
school tailors curriculum
around the emotionally dis-
abled students to meet their
specific learning needs. It
also has an opportunity side
that serves those students
who need to recover credits
in order to meet graduation
requirements. The adminis-
tration and staff at the alter-
native/opportunity school
work together with partner
school support to develop a
curriculum that will allow
their students to succeed and
graduate. This is directly re-
lated to the economic vitality
of our community and state.
These students range from the
most gifted to the most at-risk,
including special needs stu-
dents and other at-risk popula-
tions such as dropouts and
adjudicated youth.
Educational Service Center
noninstructional support serv-
ices include bus driver certifi-
cation, bus driver physicals,
teacher licensure, Ohio Bu-
reau of Criminal Investiga-
tion/FBI background checks,
maintenance of LPDC licen-
sure and substitute list, secu-
rity upgrades to the alternative
school and Thomas Edison
Early Childhood Building,
parent mentoring, county
spelling bees, juvenile court
liaisons, and student atten-
dance officers. We also work
with our local schools by in-
putting data into DASL in
order to keep student files cur-
rent. Western Buckeye ESC
pays for or subsidizes these
programs in order to assist our
partner schools in keeping
costs down.
Western Buckeye ESC is
very proud of our history of
providing shared services that
enhance student achievement
and drive down the cost to our
partner schools by sharing
staff to save money for the
good people of Paulding and
Van Wert counties. Assisting
our partner schools is an edu-
cational task we have been ac-
customed to providing for the
past 100 years since 1914. We
look forward to partnering
with our schools and the state
of Ohio for the next 100
years and beyond.

n SHERIFFS REPORT
In My Opinion
What snow, did I
miss something?
In my opinion we are not ready to say that yet because we
have a lot of snow to melt and it will take a lot of warm, sunny
days to thaw those huge piles. A friend of mine told me that he
was so, so tired of all the slippery roads, snow piled so high that
is hard to see around or over it and then there is the miserable
cold. When will it all be over,
he whined, Im ready for
springtime weather. My reply
is that we all are getting our
seasonal internal clock reset
and are about ready for the
next season to get started.
Even though winter weather
can and usually is severe and
the cold creates hardship for some with the high cost of fuel to
heat our homes, cold and snow are part of the wintertime of the
year. We need the snow (especially at Christmas) and the cold
because both are part of the season we call winter.
Did you know that most apple trees need about 45 chill
days or they will not bloom and set fruit in the spring? Chill
days are days where the temperature is below 45 Fahrenheit.
We have had plenty of cold, so we should get another good
apple crop this year, but some of our other plants will not toler-
ate a -15 temperature and would not survive without a blanket
of snow.
Did you know that the winter snow provides a blanket that
helps our winter wheat crop survive those harsh cold periods,
and this snow also is loaded with nitrogen, which helps the
wheat to develop a strong stalk?
In my opinion, winter and all that goes with it is part of my in-
ternal clock which is now reset for the coming of spring. Its
near the end of the game for winter; it has nearly won and I am
already thinking about what to do after the game, but the game
is not over because winter will win and the game of spring will
immediately start without any intermission.
What kind of spring will it be stormy with lots of tornados,
rain, thunder and lightning, pleasant days filled with warmth and
singing birds, or will it be a cool, wet spring that keeps us from
planting our gardens and fields until late in the season? I would
guess no matter how spring turns out, my friend will be com-
plaining about something, maybe even how he has to mow the
lawn twice a week because it is growing so fast.
As for me, I love the changing seasons and look forward to
enjoy each one although there may be some difficulty or chal-
lenge getting my attention. Who knows, I might even find time
to complain about something.
I am also still looking forward to that big season change when
I leave this earth for my eternal home in heaven. I do hope to
see you in church this Sunday; we need to talk because we have
something in common.

SNOWY DAYS, FROSTY NIGHTS
AND WARM HEARTS
I always thought I loved win-
ter, snow, cold, ice and bliz-
zards. I think it feels so good to
curl up in the warm house
when it snows. I put my fuzzy
fleece pants on, drink hot tea,
make soup and stare at the
snowflakes as they drift down
in front of the windows. How-
ever, the older I get, the less
inviting any cold or snow be-
comes.
Of course, kids think a
snow day is the best thing
about a snow storm. They get
to sleep in, spend the day in-
side watching TV or playing
video games and basking in
the warm cozy house.
But as the snow keeps com-
ing down day after day, as it
has this year, our snowmen
begins to look droopy, every-
one gets sick of being cold
and suddenly the once warm,
inviting house seems ex-
tremely small.
I can stand to be house
bound for a couple of days,
but anything beyond that, I
start to get cabin fever.
However, I was surprised to
find out that there are other
things to do outside in the
snow besides throw snow-
balls or make snowmen. So
put on your snow hat, gloves,
parka, and boots, and lets all
venture outside to begin some
frosty new things.
I have never tried this, but
they say that blowing bubbles
can make anyone feel good,
whether youre an infant or
have one foot in the grave.
The dainty round prisms look
magical and why wait for a
hot day in the summer to
enjoy blowing bubbles?
It is suggested that this ex-
periment works best in very
cold temps such as 0 or
below. You can make your
own soap solution, or just buy
the cheapo bottle-and-wand
set made for kids.
Start by heating the soapy
water or the bubble stuff so its
warm or hot, then let the little
ones blow bubbles outside. If
you can catch one on a bubble
wand, watch it carefully; it
will freeze into a delicate ball.
I am still a kid at heart, so I
would enjoy trying this.
We have all read The Little
House On the Prairie books
by Laura Ingalls Wilder or
seen the TV series. In the
books, she writes about her
molasses snow candy. It
sounds like it would not only
taste good, but would be fun to
make out in the snow.
The candy sounds fairly
simple to make. Just heat mo-
lasses and brown sugar on the
stove until it reaches about
245 which is the ball stage of
candy. If youre adventurous,
you can venture right into the
backyard to pour the mixture
A Penny For
Your Thoughts....
By: Nancy Whitaker
onto the snow, where it freezes
in about five minutes.
You also can collect the
snow in pans and bring them
in as soon as the candy is
ready to pour. (I have made
snow cream but never the
snow candy.)
Want more snow? Probably
not. But, Insta-Snow is a prod-
uct you can buy that, on first
inspection, appears to be a fine
white powder. But, add a bit of
water to a cup of the stuff, wait
a few seconds, and suddenly
your cup runneth over with
fluffy, white powder that mim-
ics the look and feel of snow
(minus the cold).
Want to make some instant
snow in frigid temperatures?
(No, not really.) Because hot liq-
uid evaporates faster than cold,
throwing some boiling water
into cold air will create instant
snow.
It has to be extremely cold
though, such as -20. A coffee
mug will create a decent storm,
and an entire bucket will make
you feel like youre in a blizzard.
Right now, I dont really care
to get any more snow this year,
but trying these experiments
may help me endure what we do
have.
Have you ever made snow
candy? What is your favorite
thing to do when it snows? Do
you get cabin fever? Let me
know and Ill give you a Penny
for your Thoughts.

Chicago Flower & Gar-

15-23. For more information,
see www.chicagoflower.com
And, if you want to see the
grand dame of U.S. flower
shows, you should attend the
Philadelphia Flower Show,
held this year on March 1-9 at
the Pennsylvania Convention
Center.
It is the worlds longest-
running and largest indoor
flower show, having its first
run in 1829. This years
theme is ARTiculture and one
of the featured speakers is
Rachael Ray.
My husband thinks if
youve seen one flower show,
youve seen them all, but hes
only attended the one in Fort
Wayne. Ive assured him that
they each have their own per-
sonality and focus, and which
you like better depends on
why youre attending.
Regardless of whether you
go to one or all of them,
youre sure to come away
with an idea or two for your
own yard and garden and a
sure case of spring fever.

As weve done battle with
record cold and snowfall this
winter, it can seem like
theres no end in sight to it.
But even while Mother Na-
ture is asserting herself in this
season, she is ramping up for
the next.
Under all that white stuff,
bulbs are doing what bulbs do
at this time of year and even
if we still have snow on the
ground at the end of the
month, experience has taught
me that well more than likely
see crocus blooms by the time
March makes its entrance.
Truth be told, if I could dig
down through the massive
drifts in our backyard right
now, I would probably find
the snowdrops poking their
noses out of the ground. Two
years ago, the double ones
were in full bloom on Feb.
20.
Another sign that spring
isnt far off is the beginning
of flower show season. Ive
already attended my first one,
having spent the first week of
February in Seattle, speaking
at the Northwest Flower and
Garden Show about indoor
gardening, which is the focus
of my book, Indoor Plant
Dcor.
Theres nothing like the
smell of hyacinths as you
walk past all the spring bulb
displays, which usually as-
sault your senses right at the
entrance. Thats all it takes
for me to get impatient about
digging in the dirt. I want to
buy seeds and plant flowers
and get started on those elab-
orate plans I made for the gar-
dens over the winter.
But as anxious as I am for
this time of year, I also face it
with a tiny bit of trepidation.
All the winter months of
being relatively sedentary do
not serve me well when the
warm spring days beckon and
I want to do it all, all at once.
Youd think Id learn. But

22 students now enrolled
in WT Digital Academy
The Wayne Trace Digital Academy continues to grow, with stu-
dents enrolled for regular classes and college courses. Here, ad-
visor Katy Scarbrough works with student Cory Thompson in
the digital classroom.
HAVILAND The Wayne
Trace Digital Academy has
seen significant growth over
the first half of the 2013-14
school year. The digital pro-
gram provides an education
opportunity for students who
prefer or need the flexibility
that on-line instruction offers.
Initially serving seven stu-
dents, there are currently 20
students enrolled part-time or
full-time in the program. The
majority of the students are
coming into school and work-
ing in the digital classroom
while a growing number have
decided to work from home.
Each student has his or her
own reasons for choosing on-
line instruction, according to
Digital Academy director
Dave Alt.
We have a few students with
some health concerns in which
attendance is a complication. A
few others like to work at their
own pace, and still others are
behind in school and can earn
additional credits by participat-
ing in the on-line program, ac-
cording to Alt.
He added that other schools
that have implemented an on-
line component into their
school district have seen simi-
lar growth.
Adding an on-line feature
gives our school district an-
other instructional component
in the ever changing educa-
tional landscape, said Alt.
Our superintendent, Mr.
Steve Arnold believes, and I
concur, that the best educa-
tional model remains the
classroom with a teacher, but
there are students who need
another option and our on-
line program is an excellent
complement.
Additionally, 22 students
taking over 40 on-line college
classes throughout the day
also report to the digital class-
room.

Winning the Battle for a Generation

By Rick Jones
exec. director, Defiance
Area Youth for Christ
If God is bigger than us and lives in us,
wouldnt He show through?
Every Sunday after church I have a discussion
with young people about what they thought of my
message and address any questions or comments
they may have. One of
the questions that has come up from time to time
is one quite frankly that I hear often from others,
What does it mean to glorify God?
How does one bring glory to God? I read an il-
lustration recently on Letting God Shine
Through, or glorifying God. It was something
that may help shed some light on these great ques-
tions.
One Sunday as they drove home from church,
a little girl turned to her mother and said,
Mommy, theres something about the preachers
message this morning that I dont understand.
The mother said, Oh? What is it?
The little girl replied, Well, he said God is big-
ger than we are. He said God is so big that He
could hold the whole world in His hand. Is that
true?
The mother replied, Yes, thats true, Honey.
Mommy, he also said God comes to live inside
of us when we believe in Jesus as our Savior. Is
that true, too?
Again, the mother assured the little girl that
what the pastor had said was true.
With a puzzled look on her face the little girl
then asked, If God is bigger than us and He lives
in us, wouldnt He show through? (Jerry Shirley,
When God Shows Through, Sermons.com
newsletter)
The idea of glorifying God, Letting God Show
Through, is mentioned often in scripture. Please
consider with me the exhortation we find in 1
Peter 2:12 (NIV), Live such good lives among
the pagans that, though they accuse you of doing
wrong, they may see your good deeds and glorify
God on the day he visits us.
Let us consider this week, today, in every op-
portune moment how we may Let God show
through.

QUESTION: Is it normal to
deeply grieve a miscar-
riage? My husband and I
suffered one and were sur-
prised at how devastating
its been for us.
JIM: Youve just experi-
enced a genuine loss, a
deeply meaningful loss. It
would be surprising if you
didnt feel as if the rug had
been pulled out from under
you.
When a pregnancy ends in
miscarriage, a woman and her
spouse usually experience a
wide variety of turbulent
emotions. According to men-
tal health professionals, you
may feel guilty, as if the mis-
carriage were somehow your
fault.
Your mind may default to
denial and cling to the possi-
bility that youre actually still
pregnant. Depression and
mood swings are common.
Anger can become a mask for
grief.
Jealousy toward pregnant
women or new mothers may
be a problem, causing you to
withdraw from social con-
tacts. Eventually, youll prob-
ably experience a
combination of these symp-
toms, spinning through a re-
curring cycle of grief, shock,
denial, anger, depression, de-
tachment and mental bar-
gaining with God.
Whether theyre experi-
enced immediately or at some
point later on, the emotional
and physiological responses
to a miscarriage are the same
as those involving any signif-
icant loss. As with any loss,
its important to ride the cycle
of grief out to its natural con-
clusion, that of accepting the
reality of the situation.
For healing to occur, you
and your spouse need to give
and receive permission to
fully grieve. If this doesnt
happen, you can get stuck
in the denial stage, mired in a
morass of depression and re-
pressed emotions. This in turn
can have a detrimental effect
on your overall spiritual,
emotional and physical
health. If you need help
working through the cycle of
grief, please dont hesitate to
call our team of counselors
here at Focus on the Family.
QUESTION: Im a woman
in my 20s. I was raised by a
single mom and rarely saw
my dad. Recently hes ex-
pressed an interest in seeing
me, but when I schedule a
time he always cancels. Ive
decided not to initiate any-
thing further, because I feel
he doesnt really care for me.
I love my mom, but shes in-
sisting that I continue to pur-
sue a relationship with him,
to the point where its created
tension between us. What
should I do?
DR. GREG SMALLEY, vice
president, Family Ministries: I
can understand some of the
emotions youre feeling.
Youve never had a relation-
ship with your dad and want to
guard your heart from further
disappointment. But this is
threatening the good relation-
ship you have with your mom.
Youre feeling caught in be-
tween.
Since the relationship with
your mom is one you value and
want to preserve, Id start there.
Talk to her and try to under-
stand why this is such an im-
portant issue for her. The
energy behind this may possi-
bly stem from feelings of guilt
over the divorce, or perhaps re-
grets from an unfulfilled rela-
tionship with her own father.
Your goal here is to better
understand your moms feel-
ings, but not to be controlled by
them. As part of the conversa-
tion, youll want to set clear
boundaries and respectfully
communicate that the relation-
ship with your dad is a matter
between him and you, and that
you wont be discussing it un-
less you raise the subject.
As for what happens with
your dad, the decision is yours.
If you want a relationship with
him, let him know thats your
desire. If you havent, he may
be thinking its all your moms
idea.
Move slowly. Start by writ-
ing him a letter, or communi-
cating on Skype or Facebook.
And work on getting to know
each other first, before airing
your grievances or sharing
deep emotions.

The John Paulding Historical Society held its annual Wine and Cheese tasting event on Saturday evening. Seven different wines and
cheeses were presented along with desserts, raffle prizes and door prizes. The night began with the wine tasters sampling quietly, but
at the end of the evening and the singing of Let Me Call You Sweetheart everyone appeared to be having a good time.

Meet the Blue Creek Comets and their coach
By GERALD SINN
Special to the Progress
Part 3 of 7
Dennis Dosters mother was
unaware her son played high
school basketball, until his jun-
ior year, it was told in 2012. His
dad was a fireman on a Nickel
Plate locomotive, always on
trips (he always took the family
car to work). Dennis mom had
all the duties at home and no
auto to drive. She didnt need
any other issues.
What Dennis needed was a
buddy to get him to the games
and practices. His buddy turned
out to be cousin Otis. Otis was
convincing to his mother; she
liked Otis. If Otis Pease hadnt
driven me around Id never
have played basketball for the
Blue Creek Comets of 1954,
Dennis said.
His mom may never have
known except for the Paulding
Progress newspaper. Dennis
was a star basketball player for
four years. This stardom
brought news clippings. It took
four years, but Dennis dad and
mother did see a game at
Hoaglin Jackson in 1955. Their
only game Dennis team won.
Not only did Dennis mother
Edith raise a very personable
sports star, but her pretty daugh-
ter, Margaret, was a BC Comets
cheerleader and a Paulding
County beauty contestant in
1953. Many mothers in high
school America would envy
Ediths results. She was Otiss
Aunt Edith, and must have been
quite a woman.
THE MOVE TO
BLUE CREEK
In 1951, the Latty Lions won
their first Paulding County bas-
ketball championship. They re-
peated in 1952. However, in
1953 the Lions moved to
Haviland to join the Wildcats.
Together, the schools became
the Blue Creek Comets.
Officially, Latty High and
Haviland High schools (four
miles apart) shared Havilands
school building late in 1952 and
became Blue Creek High
School in future years. The
number of boys in Blue Creek
High was 27.
The Comets of 1953 were a
good basketball team, they were
league champions at 14-6. This
was coach Rex Scarbroughs
final year as a basketball
coach. He won more
Paulding County tour-
naments than any
other coach; a total of
n i n e
s i n c e
1926.
The Grover Hill
Hornets won the
tourney champi-
onship in Paulding
County in 1953.
That was the end
of the Don Elston
era, as an all-star
player, with Jim
Ladd, Hook
McClure and Bob
Sanderson, coach
- all were memo-
rable names in
Paulding County
sports.
As for the
1 9 5 3
Comet s,
they had six
varsity let-
termen re-
t u r n i n g
comprised
mainly of the young Lions from
Latty except for one Wildcat.
THE COACH
Late in 1953, a young teacher
barely out of college and teach-
ing science and math classes
was appointed coach of the
1954 Blue Creek Comets.
Something promising, when as-
sisting Coach Scarbrough, he
did take the Comets young re-
serve team to a winning 14-4
season in 1953 his first effort
at coaching. But that was it, no
more coaching background.
His name was Ned Jay. He
was a young, bright, futuristic
and promising warrior, with no
second doubts about anything
including winning.
One of his players com-
mented, Ned had the fastest
eyes and mind Id ever seen on
a basketball floor. His
players improved game
after game because of
these attributes. If any
player threw a bad pass or
interception or made a
bad judgment, he was
on the bench. After a
few games into the
season, the Comets
made no mistakes
mainly out of fear of
their new coach.
Ned was
also known to have
a fiery temper. Not
particularly at the
boys, but more at
improper use of
basketball princi-
ples. It also included
referees principles.
Not to mention Ned
throwing a skidding
chair across the
gym in one game.
His clipboards took
a real beating in
many games.
His intent at
all times, however,
was 100 percent
directed to the
success of the
Blue Creek
Comets. That
said, Welcome
to the era of Ned Jays Comets.
THE TEAM
THE COMETS
Ken Zimmerman, number
53, 60. In 1950, Zimmerman
didnt show up for classes at
Latty High. Instead he was at-
tending Haviland High (four
miles south), leaving the young
Lions (not by choice). In des-
peration, Coach Scarbrough of
the Wildcats took a chance and
put him into a varsity game as a
freshman. He needed a center.
Ken Z. amazingly scored 27
points. He started every varsity
game thereafter and became
one of the highest scoring four-
time all-stars in Paulding
County.
Dennis Doster, number 35,
59. Started on the Latty Lions
first five in his first high school
basketball game and scored 15
points. Dennis didnt have a
basketball hoop at home, or a
barn, or any place to practice.
His only practice place was at
school, at recess, noon hour or
mornings before class. His prac-
tice was limited, but he could
just make baskets. He was a
natural with speed. How dy-
namic was it to have Doster and
Ken Zimmerman; four-year,
high-scoring, all-stars starting
on the Comets of 1954?
Max Pease, number 40. As a
freshman, he was a sub.
Gerald Sinn, number 33,
59. Claimed he had taken over
500,000 practice shots during
his high school basketball ca-
reer. So if he was hitting 65 per-
cent of his long shots it probably
wasnt blind luck. He was also
one of the leaders of assists, re-
bounds and interceptions. In the
BC yearbook someone said
Gerald never missed a foul
shot. The great part of this is
you could say the same thing
about the entire Comets first
five. All the guards and for-
wards were sharpshooters and
center Ken Zimmerman was the
leading scorer in Paulding
County in 1954. Dennis Doster
was second, only two points be-
hind.
Walter Sinn, number 50,
510. The young Lions got
lucky. They inherited a point
guard who was ready to play
basketball. He came from the
Wildcats of Haviland in the
move to Blue Creek High. His
older brothers, Carl and Ray,
were legends on the Wildcats
teams of 48 and 50. Thats
how Walt learned the game,
from his brothers on the farm, in
the hay mow gym, in the barn -
and from Coach Scarbrough.
Walt always had the compli-
ments, Nice shot, Gerald,
same for the other guys as well.
Walt was great at passing off
with lots of assists, but by tour-
ney time he was scoring 20
points a game. Something inter-
esting, 60 percent of his points
came from hitting foul shots. At
seasons end, he was awarded
the MVP sportsmanship trophy
at the Paulding County Tourna-
ment. Also, in his junior year,
the Ohio State coaches poll
placed him on the third team
All-Ohio State, guard, first five.
Harold Sinn, number 44,
59. Twin Gerald had just
stolen the ball from an Oak-
wood guard at the half-line.
Harold saw it happen and
streaked for the Lions basket
down the floor (at Oakwood,
February, 1952). Gerald sent
him a long, hot pass for the lay-
up. Harold caught it, stopped,
turned and waved Gerald to run
down to make the easy two
points (reward for interception).
Gerald smiled, shook his head
and hands - No! So Harold sunk
the lay-up.
Oddly enough, those two
points made Harold high point
man, 18 points for the night.
Gerald scored 16 for the game.
He couldve been high man if
hed taken the shot. Sixty years
later, Gerald commented, I
think back to what a pleasure it
was that I could extend this
small honor to my twin. The
next year we moved to Blue
Creek where the coaches made
him the sixth man. It was less
playing time and less opportu-
nity to score. But having a sixth
man with talent to score 18
points a game was great support
for a championship team.
NOTE: Dennis Doster of-
fered Gerald the same opportu-
nity many times in the 54
season. It described all these
Comets not a selfish bone in
their bodies. A great ingredient
for a winning team.
nNext week: The season
game by game.

Coach Ned Jay builds a winning team
Dennis Doster, a four-year
starter for the Comets. He
scored 15 points in his first
game as a freshman.
As a young and energetic coach, Ned Jay led the Comets to
several successful seasons.
While Dennis was making
baskets for the Comets, his sis-
ter, Margaret, was on the side-
line as a Comet cheerleader.
Walt Sinn (#50) was named to the all-Ohio High School third team as a junior.

Raiders clinch share
of 25th GMC title
By KEVIN
WANNEMACHER
Sportswriter
HAVILAND For the 25th time in Wayne
Trace history, the Raider boys basketball team
has won the Green Meadows Conference
championship after a 50-37 win at Edgerton
on Friday night.
The red, white and blue is now 6-0 in league
play. The Raiders are 16-3 overall on the sea-
son.
Its always tough to win on the road in our
league so this is a good win for us, noted
Wayne Trace head coach Jim Linder. This
has been a different year with all of the sched-
ule changes and weather delays so I am really
proud of this basketball team and the way they
have adapted and persevered through every-
thing.
The Raiders led 9-7 at the end of eight min-
utes of action before Wayne Trace posted a 23-
19 halftime advantage. The red, white and
blue led 37-27 entering the final quarter.
Ethan Linder topped the Raider efforts with
15 points followed by T.J. Blackmore with 11
and Corbin Linder posted 10. Blackmore also
had seven rebounds for the red, white and blue
and Colby Speice picked up five. Speice also
added three assists and two steals.
In non-league play at Ada, the Raiders led
19-10 after one quarter and made it stand up
the rest of the way in a 73-65 victory over the
Bulldogs.
Wayne Trace led 39-30 at the intermission
and posted a 54-43 advantage at the end of
three quarters.
Corbin Linder bucketed 21 points to top the
Raiders while adding nine assists, seven re-
bounds and two steals. T.J. Blackmore
chipped in 13 points and four rebounds fol-
lowed by Ethan Linder with a dozen markers,
four boards, two assists and three steals. David
Sinn added 10 points, three assists and two
steals for the red, white and blue.
Lincolnviews Kyle Williams hit two free
throws with nine seconds remaining to lift the
Lancers past Wayne Trace 61-59 last week in
Van Wert County.
The Lancers led 15-12 after one quarter be-
fore taking a 30-27 advantage at halftime. The
hosts then led 44-40 at the end of three peri-
ods.
Corbin Linder, Ethan Linder and Colby
Speice all bucketed 14 points for Wayne Trace
while Devin Wenzlick added six markers.
Corbin Linder had nine boards for the Raiders
and Wenzlick added six boards.
Wayne Traces junior varsity also clinched
a share of the Green Meadows Conference
championship with a 43-34 win over Edger-
ton. The Raiders moved to 6-0 in the league
and now stand 15-4 overall on the season.
Gabe Wobler hit 13 of 14 free throws on the
night and led the Raider efforts with 13 points.
Nick Glass (seven), Luke Miller (six), Rylen
Asher (six), Justin Speice (five), Alec Vest
(four), Darius Hale (one) and Cole Shepherd
(one) rounded out the Raider scorers.
Shepherd also had eight rebounds for
Wayne Trace with Speice recording five.
Shepherd chipped in three steals while Miller
and Vest dished out a pair of assists.
The Raiders also posted a 37-33 win over
Lincolnview last week.
Vest had nine points for the red, white and
blue followed by Speice (six), Miller (six),
Hale (four), Wobler (three) and Asher (two).
Shepherd picked up nine boards for the
Raiders with Glass and Speice getting five
each. Miller and Shepherd also had two steals
each.
At Ada, the red, white and blue dropped a
50-47 decision to the host Bulldogs.
Alec Vest had 13 points for Wayne Trace
and Justin Speice chipped in a dozen markers.
Gabe Wobler (five), Nick Glass (five), Cole
Shepherd (four), Luke Miller (four), Rylen
Asher (two) and Darius Hale (two) rounded
out the Raider scorers.
Wobler dished out three assists while also
recording six rebounds. Speice had five boards
followed by Shepherd and Glass with four re-
bounds and two steals each.
Wayne Trace closes the regular season by
hosting Lincolnview tomorrow before visiting
Ottoville Friday night.

I am very proud and excited

for their competitiveness,
commented Wayne Trace head
coach George Clemens.
The Raiders qualified eight,
tying a school record for the
number of wrestlers qualifying
for districts, and breaking a
record in crowning three indi-
vidual sectional champs.
We are going into the
toughest district in the state.
Troy will be a nasty, hard
fought battle for any wrestler
that wants to earn a trip to the
Schottenstein center in Colum-
bus, Clemens added. We are
peaking at the right time and I
really feel we have a chance to
send several wrestlers to state.

Panthers secure two big wins
By JIM LANGHAM
Sportswriter
In the big picture, the
Paulding boys basketball
team played a solid week of
basketball, at times playing
some of the best ball all year,
according to head coach
Shawn Brewer.
The local squad captured a
big win at home on Friday
night against league foe Lin-
colnview, 51-38. In that con-
test, the Panthers trailed 7-6
at the end of the first quarter,
but turned in a strong second-
quarter performance, 14-8, to
grab a 21-15 halftime advan-
tage.
Even though Paulding led
much of the game, the
Lancers kept the heat on the
local defense until late in the
game when the Panthers
outscored their opponents,
15-5, in the final eight min-
utes to pull away for the win.
Kyle Kauser led the Pauld-
ing scoring with 18 points, in-
cluding two from 3-point land
while Justin Dowdy topped
the Lancers with 13 points.
After the two squads traded
buckets in the first stanza,
Lincolnview moved into an
11-6 lead early in the second
stanza. But a basket by Guy
Harder and a pair of free
throws by Kauser brought the
local squad back to within
one point, 11-10.
Conner McCleery con-
nected for the Lancers, to
give Lincolnview a 13-10 ad-
vantage, but Kauser settled
the issue with a trey to tie the
game at 13-13. With 2:54 re-
maining in the second quar-
ter, Pauldings Javier
Gonzales hit a pair of free
throws to put the Panthers on
top, 15-13.
The Lancers tied on a pair
of free throws but a 2-point
basket by Julian Salinas and a
3-pointer by Javier Gonzales
put the Panthers on top, 20-
15, at the half.
I was very pleased with
our defensive effort, said
Brewer. We did a great job
of handling them. We came
out rather slow offensively
until we got things going in
the second quarter.
We started out the game
rushing things and settling for
the jumper rather than work-
ing the ball inside, continued
Brewer. Middle way through
the second quarter, we got
things going. Our guys were
quick to get their hands on the
ball. It was a good overall ef-
fort on our part.
On Saturday night, the
Panthers defeated what
Brewer referred to as one of
the hottest teams in northwest
Ohio with a 72-61 win over
a tough Bryan team.
The win elevated Pauld-
ings overall record to 15-5
while Bryan dropped to 12-7.
In that contest, hot-shoot-
ing Kauser tallied 23 points
while Julian Salinas and
Quetin Vance tallied 15 and
14 points, respectively.
Paulding jumped into a 14-
11 lead at the end of the first
stanza and maintained the
three-point margin, 25-22, at
the halfway point.
In the third quarter, Bryan
turned on the heat to capture
a 41-40 advantage at the end
of the third quarter. But
Paulding came on with a fury
in the final eight minutes to
outscore the Golden Bears,
32-20, and walk off the floor
with its second big win in two
nights.
Earlier in the week, the
Panthers traveled to Convoy
for a weather make-up game
and lost, 49-39, to state No. 1-
ranked Crestview.
Guy Harder put on an im-
pressive show off the boards,
capturing 10 of his teams 14
rebounds while Kauser led
the Panthers in scoring with
nine points.
Each team had nine
turnovers while Paulding shot
a respectable 46 percent from
the field and the Knights fired
at a 48 percent clip.

Antwerp crushes Cadets on Saturday, 67-24
Pilots impressive in win over Archers
By JOE SHOUSE
Sportswriter
ANTWERP In a double-
header weekend, the Antwerp
Archers played host to Ay-
ersville on Friday night and
Hilltop on Saturday. The old
clich what a difference a
day makes was truly the
case for the Archers. Against
Ayersville, the Pilots were the
aggressor as they blasted the
Archers 67-43. On Saturday,
the blue and white regrouped
and was energized in their 67-
24 thumping of the Cadets.
The Pilots opened up with
an 8-0 lead and from that
point the visitors were run-
ning on all cylinders both of-
fensively and defensively.
The quarter closed out with
Ayersville on top, 23-9. Jun-
ior Brayton Martin, who fin-
ished with 23 points, sparked
the Pilots in the opening
frame with 12 points on two
3-pointers and a perfect 6-of-
6 from the foul line.
Both teams played evenly
in the second quarter with the
Archers getting to within
eight on a Kaden Brumett
free throw with 4:48 remain-
ing and the score 27-19. In
the closing minute Tyler
Messman scored to keep the
Archers to within 10 at 33-23,
but a technical foul called on
the Archer bench allowed the
Pilots to close out the half
with three free throws and a
36-23 advantage.
Senior Trey Bauman took
over the Pilot scoring in the
third stanza. Bauman canned
11 points in the quarter and
finished with 26 to lead all
scorers. Trenton Copsey
scored the last points for the
Archers in the third frame,
making the score 43-30.
Ayersville answered with a
10-0 run to close out the third
and enjoying a 53-30 lead.
They really took it to us.
We came out very lethargic
and we werent ready to play.
The way we played tonight is
the way we practiced on
Thursday, said Archer head
coach TJ Hammer.
Antwerp, who usually gets
a bulk of its offensive output
from their guards, was held in
check most of the night by the
defensive play of the Pilots.
Smalley was in double digits
with 11 but Brumett and Sam
Williamson combined for
seven points. Copsey was in
double figures for the Archers
with 10 points while Mess-
man finished with seven. The
scoring tandem of Bauman
and Martin netted 49 points,
which was more than the en-
tire Archer output of 43.
Antwerp managed to re-
duce the 23-point Pilot lead to
18 when Colton Stout con-
nected on a free throw with
5:57 but would get no closer.
They (Ayersville) are a
good team that is well
coached and we just didnt
come out ready to battle.
They just overpowered us,
said Hammer.
With the win Ayersville,
improved to 14-6 overall and
5-2 in the Green Meadows
Conference. For the Archers,
Hammers crew fell to 12-8
and 2-5 in the GMC.

Archers bounce back in big
way
A solid defense was the dif-
ference as the Antwerp Archers
pressured the Hilltop Cadets
into turning the ball over
countless times to demoralize
them 67-24. Antwerp wasted
little time in positioning them-
selves as a team on a mission,
holding the 1-18 Cadets to just
two points in the opening pe-
riod while scoring 18.
The second period had the
blue and white scoring 13
points while holding Hilltop to
just four. Antwerp held a 31-6
halftime lead with all 31 points
coming from Derek Smalley,
Kaden Brumett and Trenton
Copsey.
Smalley collected 16 points
in the first half including four
baskets from beyond the 3-
point arc. The 6-foot-1 shoot-
ing guard for the Archers
scored the final three of the
opening quarter and then fol-
lowed it up with the first eight
points of the second period.
Smalley finished with 20 to
lead all scorers.
Tonight, we had more en-
ergy defensively and it caused
a lot of problems for them,
said TJ Hammer.
Hilltop opened its season
with a 45-43 win over Em-
manuel Christian and has since
lost 18 in a row. Their 24-point
output against the Archers was
its lowest of the season. Prior
to the Antwerp game, the
Cadets had scored a low of 27
back on Feb. 4 when they lost
to Fayette, 59-27.
Antwerp had it largest offen-
sive output in the third quarter
with 23 points. Eight different
Archers scored in the quarter
while Coach Hammer started
using his bench freely.
Also in double figures for
the winners was Copsey with
11, and coming off the bench
with 10 points, all in the second
half, was Tyler Messman.
The Archers were short-
handed due to injury. On Fri-
day night, Erik Miesle suffered
a concussion as he took a nasty
spill in the Ayersville game.
Earlier in Saturday nights
game, Jeffrey Coleman also
suffered a hard hit to the back
of the head, forcing him to sit
out the rest of the night.
Erik (Miesle) is done for
the year. He has had several
concussions in the past and so
we will not risk him playing
anymore, said Hammer.
For Hilltop, the Cadets
placed five players in the scor-
ing column led by the seven
points each from freshman Tim
Maneval and junior Jalen Tow-
ers.
Score by Quarters:
Hilltop 2 4 7 11 - 24

Classic ending gives Archers OT win 69-68
By JOE SHOUSE
Sportswriter
ANTWERP On a rare Monday
night game, the Antwerp Archers
and the Woodlan Warriors played
what ESPN would have billed as an
instant classic. Archer fans who wit-
nessed Antwerps 69-68 overtime
win would certainly enjoy the op-
portunity to watch it again at least
the last 1.3 seconds.
With Antwerp trailing 66-63 in
OT and the Archers with the ball,
Derek Smalley gave Antwerp life as
he drilled a 3-pointer coming off a
screen at the top of the key with just
under 20 seconds remaining.
Knotted at 66 apiece, Woodlan
worked the ball to Kadin Gerig,
who had success at long range all
night, hitting six from behind the
arc. Gerig had a open look from the
deep corner but the ball bounced
high off the rim and 6-foot-5 team-
mate Jaylin Bennett rose to the oc-
casion and softly tipped the ball in
with 1.3 seconds remaining
Woodlan ahead 68-66 and the
Archers needing to go the length of
the court and only 1.3 seconds to
work a miracle.
Following an Antwerp timeout,
head coach TJ Hammer designed a
play with a couple of options. With
Smalley taking the ball out of
bounds, the senior tossed the ball
over the Brumett, who had stepped
out of bounds to retrieve the Smal-
ley pass. Brumett spotted Sam
Williamson cutting to the center of
the court. Brumett delivered a per-
fect pass to Williamson, who took
one dribble and then fired a 60 foot
shot that hit nothing but the bottom
of the net as the buzzer sounded.
Williamson was quickly sur-
rounded by teammates and fans as
the Archer faithful celebrated and
the Woodlan contingent stood in si-
lence, not wanting to believe what
they just witnessed. For the 11-4
Warriors, winning their last eight in
a row, it was their first loss in 2014.
Standing outside the dressing
room, an elated coach Hammer ex-
plained the final play.
Sam taking the shot was our sec-
ond option. The first was to get it to
Derek but once he was covered then
it was to go to Williamson. We told
the guys they had enough time for
one dribble and then they had to
shoot, said Hammer.
The winning Williamson shot is
nothing new for the sophomore.
Back in late December, Williamson
drained the winning buzzer-beater
against Edgerton to give the Archers
the Route 49 Classic title. Following
his Monday night heroics,
Williamson was all smiles as he ex-
plained the last 1.3 seconds.
I was standing near the sideline
and when I saw Derek was covered
up I made my move to the middle.
When the ball came to me, I made
my one dribble and shot. When it
left my hands it felt pretty good,
Williamson said.
After getting off to a shaky start,
the Archers were able to settle down
to take a 13-11 lead after one period.
Antwerp opened the second quarter
with a basket from Williamson, a
triple from Brumett, and a heads up
play from Tyler Messman who fol-
lowed up a Colton Stout miss.
Holding its largest lead of the
contest at 20-11, Woodlan was
forced to call timeout with 5:44 re-
maining in the second quarter. The
Warriors responded with Gerig
scoring their next 11 points. The
Archers held a 27-24 margin, but
Greg White connected on a buzzer-
beater 2-pointer to pull the visitors
from Indiana to within one, 27-26.
They are very good basketball
team. They have quick guards and
No. 3 (White) is very quick and can
get to the basket, said Hammer.
Woodlan came out in the third pe-
riod and established themselves
with a quick lead that eventually ex-
tended to as many as six at 35-29. In
the final minute of the third quarter,
the Archers responded by scoring
the final five points. Trailing 39-34,
Joe Buerkle converted a traditional
3-point play and Smalley connected
on a short floater in the paint as the
buzzer sounded to even the score at
39.
The fourth quarter had the War-
riors in control for most of the pe-
riod. A Brumett field goal with 5:31
remaining gave the Archers their
last lead in regulation 45-44. Wood-
lan built their advantage to as many
as six on a couple occasions and
was still in control at 59-53 with
under two minutes remaining.
The blue and white answered
with back-to-back 3-pointers from
Williamson and Brumett. With the
score even at 59 apiece, Woodlan
called timeout with 58.0 seconds re-
maining. Following the timeout,
Woodlan put the ball in the hands of
White. The senior play-making
guard responded by driving to the
hoop for a quick score and the War-
riors back on top, 61-59.
The final score in regulation came
with 29.4 seconds showing on the
clock and Smalley stepping to the
line. The senior had connected on
just 2-of-5 prior to his final trip
where he calmly sank both attempts
to force overtime.
For the Archers, Sam Williamson
finished with 19 points, including
three baskets from behind the arc, to
lead the Antwerp scoring. Also find-
ing double figures for the winners
were Smalley and Trenton Copsey
with 15 each and Brumett adding 12.
Gerig, who finished with 30
points, found his range on six 3-
pointers. Also scoring in double dig-
its for the Warriors were White with
16 and Bennett adding 12.
In the junior varsity contest, the
young Archers needed two over-
times to sneak past Woodlan, 48-44.
Antwerp only had four players in
the scoring column, led by the 20
points from Josh Longardner. Matt
Jones finished with 16 while Jeffrey
Coleman added eight and Erik
Buckan finishing with four.

HAVILAND Wayne Trace
senior forward Lauren Speice
closed out her home court ca-
reer by setting the single game
rebounding record for the third
time this season with 23 against
Edgerton in a 61-57 double
overtime loss to the Bulldogs.
Speice had 19 points in her fi-
nale at the Palace along with
fellow seniors Madison Poling,
Sylvia Young, Brenda Feasby
and Brooke Wilcox.
Poling recorded two points,
seven assists and four rebounds
for Wayne Trace with Young
adding a dozen markers and
eight boards. Feasby chipped in
11 points, five caroms, two as-
sists and two steals. Wilcox
picked up three points, four as-
sists and three steals.
Erin Mohr also aided the
Raider cause with nine points,
10 rebounds and four steals with
Shayna Temple posting one
point and three assists.
The Raiders and Bulldogs
were tied at 10-10 after one
quarter before Edgerton posted
a 28-19 halftime advantage. The
visitors still led 36-28 at the end
of three periods before the two
schools were tied at 46-46 after
regulation. Each team followed
by scoring five points in the first
overtime.
Edgertons Devin Stark
scored all of the Bulldogs 10
points in the second overtime to
lead the visitors to the victory.
Stark finished the night with 26
markers while adding three as-
sists and seven steals.
We played a lot better in the
second half, noted Raider head
coach Bethany Hughes. I am
proud of the girls for battling
back and now we have to come
back ready to play on Wednes-
day when we face them in sec-
tionals.
In earlier action last week, the
Lady Raiders dropped a 67-62
decision at Lima Shawnee.
Feasby and Speice each had
16 points while Mohr chipped
in 13 markers and eight re-
bounds. Speice also had seven
boards for Wayne Trace. Poling
and Temple dished out three as-
sists each with Mohr recording
four steals.
Lima Shawnee jumped in
front 24-8 after one quarter and
the Raiders still trailed 31-19 at
the intermission. Wayne Trace
closed within 47-40 in the third
quarter and took a 54-53 lead
with 5:02 left in the contest on a
Feasby trey.
However, the Indians scored
14 of the final 22 points to
record the win.
Wayne Trace also came up
just short in a 54-49 loss to
Crestview last week.
The Lady Knights led 15-10
after one quarter before holding
a 26-20 halftime lead.
Crestview was on top 38-30 en-

Lady Panthers prepping for Defiance Sectional
By JIM LANGHAM
Sportswriter
When the Paulding girls
basketball team takes the
floor at 6:15 p.m. on Satur-
day, Feb. 22 in Defiance Sec-
tional action, the local girls
will either be taking on Delta
or Tinora.
Panther coach Lyndsi
Schultz wont make any pre-
dictions on who that will be,
but just in case, she is taking
her squad to Defiance on
Wednesday night to watch
Delta and Tinora in action.
We are going to watch the
game together and then talk
over about what we see, said
Schultz.
Schultz characterized Delta
as a good team with one of
the best players in the area.
Schultz said that in order to
be successful, her girls are
going to have to work hard
for 32 minutes and play
strong defense.
This past week, the Pan-
thers chalked up a win against
Miller City, thanks to a 23-
point effort from Abby Pease.
She noted that her girls were
also able to force the Wildcats
into numerous turnovers that
worked in Pauldings favor
down the stretch, when the
Panthers outscored Miller
City, 19-11, in the last quar-
ter.
Abby had a big game; she
kept us in it, said Schultz.
Our press was able to force
them into quite a few
turnovers that we were able to
convert in our favor.
Paulding jumped out to a 14-
12 lead at the end of the first
quarter, but fell behind by one
point, 27-26, at the halfway
mark. However, the Panthers
regained composure with a 21-
14 besting of the Wildcats in
the third quarter.
The Panthers struggled the
rest of the week with a 51-45
loss to Defiance and dropping
a 61-39 contest to Lincolnview.
Against the Lancers, Pauld-
ing fell behind, 23-13, at the
half. Pease once again led the
local squad with 12 points.
We get off to such slow
starts and that hurts us, said
Schultz. Against Defiance, we
didnt start playing until the
fourth quarter.
Lincolnview exploited our
weaknesses early. They are an
athletic team, continued
Schultz. They are a very good
team; we worked hard, but we
couldnt match up against
them.
We are going to have to get
off to a strong start on Saturday
and play good, scrappy defense
the entire 32 minutes, said
Schultz. Our girls are capable
of throwing up a very strong
effort against either team. They
are both good teams; we just
have to turn on the intensity
and keep it that way.
Kauser honored for breaking
Panthers 3-point records
By JIM LANGHAM
Sportswriter
PAULDING Paulding High School senior
Kyle Kauser was honored at last Fridays
game against Lincolnview for breaking two
Paulding High School 3-point records.
As of this week, Kauser has broken the in-
dividual season 3-point record of 44 treys set
by Tim Phlipot in 1991. Kauser has now tal-
lied 50 treys.
In addition, Kausers 112 career tallies from
long range has topped the original career
record of 101 set by Jarod Riley in 2008.
Kauser currently leads the team in scoring
average this season with an average of 15.4
points per game and has scored 664 points so
far during his career.
When asked what he attributes his growing
success to, Kauser replied, confidence in
going out and making shots, plus the assis-
tance of team members in passing the ball to
him and in setting up screens for his shots.
Ive done a lot of hard work in this; I get
out and shoot around, said Kauser.
Kauser also likes to energize his momentum
before games by playing music such as Inner
Sandman by Metallica and walking around
to get himself pumped up.
In my earlier years, I didnt have the con-
fidence level that I have now, observed
Kauser. This year I have confidence that if I
miss one I can come back and make the next
one. If I dont have the opportunity to shoot, I
look for the open teammate to pass to. We
have a lot of weapons on this team.
In addition to his personal success, Kauser
is part of one of the most successful teams in
recent times, currently sporting a record of 15-
5 overall.
We have good team chemistry. We are all
good friends, said Kauser. Weve all been
together since grade school. We have a good
work ethic; we all listen to Coach and to each
other.
As one of the team captains, I try to do all
that I can to help us push through adversity,
continued Kauser. If we fall a little behind or
make a few mistakes, I do all I can to help us
get our head back in the game. I feel that re-
sponsible as a senior leader.
Kauser likes the diversity of the team chem-
istry, noting that any number of team members
are good solid shooters.
The senior captain admitted that the game
has grown on him to the extent that he would
eventually like to get into physical education
instruction and coaching. In addition to bas-
ketball, he is the shortstop and a pitcher on the
baseball team.
Paulding basketball coach Shawn Brewer
credits Kausers success to hard work in the
off season off the court.
We got a new hoop; in the summer he
came to our house and he literally worked on
his shot for four hours, said Brewer. Its rare
these days to see kids working like that to keep
getting better.
He has really matured; he has really im-
proved over the last year, said Brewer. Last
year he was a shooter from 20 feet out; this
year he is a scorer. He can step out three feet
beyond the three-foot line and shoot or he can
drive to the basket.
Defensively, he is so much better than he
was last year, added Brewer. He gets the job
done at the top of the key.
Brewer said that Kausers scoring success
is a real tribute to the rest of the team, who is
willing to pass the ball to him when he is open.
His school habits have become better over
the last couple of years, added Brewer. Role
model wise, he understands now and he just
lets his skills work for him. He is a grown up
young man and a good leader on the court.
Ayersville flies past Lady
Archers 58-23 in season finale
By JOE SHOUSE
Sportswriter
AYERSVILLE The Antwerp Lady
Archers traveled to Ayersville last Thursday
and completed their regular season with a 58-
23 setback at the hands of the Lady Pilots.
Ayersville was looking for the Green Mead-
ows Conference win in order to finish in a first
place tie with Holgate, while the Archers were
hoping for the upset to avoid being shut out in
conference play.
Antwerp finished regular season play with
a 1-19 record and 0-7 in the GMC while the
Pilots completed an impressive 18-3 campaign
and 6-1 in the conference.
The Pilots jumped out to an 8-0 lead before
the Archers managed five points from Kaiya
Jemison to pull the blue and white to within
three at 8-5. Ayersville would answer with a
16-0 run before the Archers got on the board
again. Cheyenne Miller-Sweet connected on a
shot jumper with 4:47 remaining in the second
quarter, making the score 22-7.
The first half would close with the home
team Pilots holding a 20-point margin, 31-11.
Ayersville continued to roll in the third pe-
riod scoring 17 points while holding the
Archers to just five. The Archers trimmed the
Pilots lead to 20 at 36-16 on a bucket by
Annie Miesle and free throw from Jemison,
but Ayersville came back with 12-0 run to lead
48-16 at the end of the third period.
Antwerp opened the fourth frame with a
basket from Miller-Sweet to trail 48-18, but
the Pilots would quickly respond with six
points and lead by as many as 36. Freshman
Peyton Short gathered in a 3-point basket with
1:14 remaining while Avery Braaten scored
the last Antwerp points in the closing seconds.
The Archers committed 31 turnovers in the
contest.
Leading scorer for the Archers was Jemison
with 10. For the Pilots, three players (all soph-
omores) snagged double figures with Molly
Hammersmith leading the way with 11 along
with Brittany Addington tossing in 11. Kyra
Waldron came in off the bench to score 10 for
the winners.
Score by Quarters:
Antwerp 5 6 5 7 - 23

Speice sets season record
By KEVIN
WANNEMACHER
Sportswriter
CONTINENTAL Lauren
Speice set a new school record
for rebounds in a season by
grabbing 11 at Continental,
breaking the mark held by her
mom Angie (Hall) Speice in an
otherwise disappointing 60-53
loss to the Pirates.
Speices record-breaking
board came at the 4:56 mark of
the first quarter and the senior
forward now has totaled 235
on the year. The old record was
222, set during the 1986-1987
season.
Lauren is a hard worker and
does a good job of going to the
boards for us, Hughes added.
This was a goal of hers this
season.
Continental led 17-9 after
one quarter and the Pirates
posted a 31-27 halftime advan-
tage. The host blue and gold
recorded a 46-42 advantage en-
tering the final stanza.
We made a run there in the
second quarter but then we
gave it right back, noted
Raider head coach Bethany
Hughes. For whatever reason,
we just did not play well
tonight. We didnt have the in-
tensity that we need to have
and defensively we werent
very good at all.
Shayna Temple topped the
red, white and blue with 14
points while Speice added a
dozen markers. Erin Mohr
(nine), Sylvia Young (eight),
Madi Poling (seven), Brenda
Feasby (two) and Brooke
Wilcox (one) had the other
Raider points.
Sloane Zachrich had 14
points to top the Continental ef-
forts. Fitzwater and Kindilien
each had a dozen markers for
the Pirates. Fitzwater also
recorded seven rebounds to
lead the hosts.
Mohr also grabbed seven re-
bounds with Feasby and Young
getting six each. Feasby also
dished out three assists.
Wilcox, Mohr and Temple had
two assists a piece. Speice and
Poling also had two steals each
for the Raiders.
