Eagles ‘like no other team’

SeePageB-2

By Mark Griffi nPress Contributing Writersports@presspublications.com

The fact that Woodmore’s girls’ soc-cer team graduated second-team All-Ohio defender Sarah Blausey from last year’s 14-2-4 team could have been a big deal, but Carly Rothert has stepped into Blausey’s position just fi ne this season.

Coach Jason Allen’s 2015 squad, many would say, is even better than it was a year ago. The Wildcats entered Division III sec-tional tournament play with a 14-1-1 re-cord and the Northern Buckeye Conference championship trophy under their arms.

Woodmore clinched the NBC title on Oct. 6 with a 2-0 win over Lake, and won its 14th game last Thursday with a 6-1 vic-tory over Eastwood.

Maddy Hines, a senior center midfi eld-er, scored three goals against the Eagles to up her season total to 11. She didn’t have any goals for the ‘Cats last season, but there were extenuating circumstances: she didn’t play for the Wildcats last fall.

“I was given a lot more opportunity on the fall club (GTFC in Perrysburg),” said Hines, who has played with GTFC for sev-eral seasons. “I got to travel to Colorado and St. Louis, and I was invited to a Disney tournament in Orlando (Fla.). I had a great time and I really enjoyed it. It was good ex-posure for me as a player, playing against that high level of competition. We did very well and had a pretty solid team.”

Hines changed her mind about playing for Woodmore as a senior during last year’s 5-3 shootout loss to Archbold in the Division III district fi nals. Hines was a ball girl during that game and spent time with her former Wildcat teammates after the contest.

“The part that made me miss the high school team was playing under the lights and playing in tournaments and seeing them all dressed up and being a team,” Hines said. “On the (GTFC) fall team, I didn’t get that. Seeing them in school made me miss it, everybody wearing their T-shirts or uniforms or all dressed up because they had a big game that night.

“I was going into my senior year and I just wanted to go back with my high school team. I’m very happy with my decision.”

The 5-foot-5 Hines, who has two as-sists, was tied for the team lead in goals

with Camryn Bench (11 goals, 7 assists) and is one of four team captains. Woodmore’s balanced offense – 16 different players have at least one goal – and strong defense are two reasons that its only loss this sea-son was to Swanton, 3-1, along with a 1-1 tie against Oak Harbor. The ‘Cats had a 71-11 scoring edge against their opponents through Monday.

“We all work well together and have good team chemistry,” Hines said. “We are heavy on upperclassmen, so we have a lot of experience on the team, with girls play-ing travel in the spring. I was very, very excited about this season. We have a very strong team and we knew we were going to be decent heading into the season.”

Hines added that she and Lily Rothert (10 goals, 7 assists) have played well to-gether as attacking center midfi elders.

“We feed off each other,” Hines said. “We know where each other is going. She had two goals against Eastwood and I had

three. We call ourselves the Dynamic Duo.”Allen called Hines “a wonderful play-

er with great leadership skills.”“Her control of the central midfi eld

for us was a key to our NBC title run,” the coach said.

“She may not have the biggest stats on the team — none of our girls have huge stats - but she is a huge contributor on the fi eld, with or without the ball. We distrib-ute the ball well with the entire team.”The next step for Hines and the Wildcats is to get to the regional tournament. Woodmore has lost in the district fi nals the past three years.

“It (winning the NBC) was a great re-ward, and I was so happy it happened,” Hines said. “It just made me so proud of our team and our program. They came back from losing the league (title) last year, by one point behind Lake, which was very motivating. We were out to win it all. That was our big goal. The next goal is to make it to the district fi nals and win. We’re still working on that one.”

Owens Community College 5-foot-4 freshman defensive standout Brooke Gyori (Clay) played a key role in the volleyball team’s 16th straight win and leading the No. 5 Express to clinching an outright Ohio Community College Athletic Conference championship. Owens clinched via a 25-15, 25-10, 25-18 win over Edison Community College on the road. It is the program’s 12th title and first since the fall of 2012. Columbus State Community College won the previous two seasons. Owens is now 30-5 overall and 12-0 in OCCAC play. Gyori has played in all 35 matches, which includes 118 sets, and she has 14 kills, 649 digs (leads the team) and 54 aces

Gyori helps Owens clinch outright title(third on team). She has a 61 percent save percentage, the highest on the team. As a senior at Clay, Gyori was named second team All-Three Rivers Athletic Conference and Honorable Mention All-District. As a junior, she was honorable mention All-TRAC and all-district. Academically, Gyori is a three-time Clay All-Academic selection, and she earned All-Ohio Academic honors as a junior. She was also a member of the soft-ball and cross country teams at Clay. Brooke is the daughter of James and Lisa Gyori. She has three three siblings — — Kristen, Derek and Brandon, and one of them, Kristen, spent two years as a member of the volleyball team at Owens from 2007-08. In Owens’ league clinching match, Macy Reigelsperger (Coldwater) smashed 16 kills. Reigelsperger accumulated her

kill total with only four errors over 26 attempts. She hit .462 and Erika Hartings (Coldwater) finished second on the team with seven kills over 14 attempts (.500 hit-ting percentage). Christine Tylutki (Monroe, Mich.) and Deanna Smith (Riverview, Mich.) nearly split the team’s assist total in half as Tylutki finished with 16 to Smith’s 15. Gyori led the team in aces (4), while Ally Mikesell (St. Henry) had a team-high 13 digs. Gyori added seven digs to finish sec-ond behind Mikesell. Tyanna Smith (Bowling Green) led the team in blocks with five (three assisted), while Reigelsperger and Taylor Purcell (Bedford, Mich.) each had three.

Life isn’t fair. Clay football knows that better than anyone. Stuck in one of the state’s best con-ferences, the Three Rivers Athletic Conference, the Eagles face some of the best teams in Ohio week-in and week-out. Their league schedule featured Central Catholic, the reigning Division III state champions, and the non-league schedule featured Perrysburg, currently ranked No. 1 in D-II, plus four other teams currently in playoff contention. Perhaps the Eagles will get to join the Northern Lakes League someday, where many feel they belong, but until then, they’re going to have to continue to scratch and claw to make headway in the TRAC. Clay will get a chance to finish off the season on a high note when they face St. Francis de Sales this Friday at the University of Toledo’s Glass Bowl. Like Clay, the Knights also had just one win after eight weeks, and that was over a depleted Bedford (Mich.) team that had several key players suspended. Their record may not show it — Clay was 1-7 and 0-5 in the TRAC — the club was making strides heading into last Friday’s game hosting Lima Senior on Clay Memorial Stadium’s Ted Federici Field. Clay quarterback Josh Kiss leads the way and currently ranks third in the league in passing. He has completed 117-of-209 passes for 1,222 yards and eight touch-downs after eight games. Kiss’ favorite target, Skylar Musselman, is third in the conference in receiving with 36 catches for 521 yards, good for 14.5 yards per reception. Lorenzo Levally has helped to complement the passing attack (12 catches, 190 yards) and Mason Ensign (74 rushes, 279 yards) has paced the rush-ing attack. Other receivers are Gary Vincent and Mason Baker and Levi Halka, Aaron Faneuff, Devin Lunsford, Josh Harrison and Brock Belinski are good sized offen-sive linemen with Christian White as the primary backup. This is a good football team that is competitive in the TRAC, and would likely be winning in a league closer to Clay’s demographic, like the NLL. Coach Mike Lee, now in his third sea-son, credits Mickey Wiseman, the middle linebacker, who is currently injured, for being the team’s emotional leader. On defense, Lee says fellow linebacker Trent Gast is also having a solid season, as is Levally, Grant Wend and Kevin Curry. The defense operates primarily out of a 3-4 look, but will show some 4-3. Injuries to Eric Kovacs, Austin Kochanski and Alec Kulwicki have decimated the defensive front. “We thought that was going to be one of our strengths,” Lee said, “and it turned out to be a problem.” Although it’s been a challenge to get wins, Lee says the experience has been like few others in a long coaching career that included stints at various other schools, including Woodmore. He is the brother of former Clay football and softball coach Jeff Lee. “We’ve improved, we’ve closed the gap, but we’re still not where we want to be. I’ve said this at least 100 times this year, I love the kids that are playing for us, I love

their attitude and their work ethic,” said Lee. “We need more of them and we just need more of that intensity to bring it where it needs to be. The thing that we like about our team is that there’s no quit; we just don’t have enough kids. We’re working on our athleticism and our strength in the offseason. We’re continuing to push to get our kids where we want to be. “As a coaching staff, we have lofty goals. We work so hard to try and get these kids in a position to enable them to win and put them in that right spot, and some-times, it just doesn’t happen, for whatever reason. We’re just not there yet, but we’re working towards it.”

Switch ‘easier then we thought’ Last year, Clay employed a Wing-T offense, but during the offseason, they made the switch to the spread. “It was easier (making the adjustment) than we thought. It’s much easier for our wide receivers. We have a four-wide receiv-er package and then a three-wide package where we bring in a tight end or an H-back,” said Lee, who led Woodmore to the playoffs four times in six seasons in the 1990s. “Even though we were in the Wing-T offense last year, we had a period in prac-tice where we still practiced the spread, and we used it in about a handful of plays in the last half of the season,” Lee contin-ued. “The kids got a little taste of it. Our kids put a lot of time in and it paid off.” Even during losses, the Eagles remained competitive despite suffering key injuries. They led Sylvania Northview with under two minutes remaining, trailed

Fremont Ross by a touchdown in the fourth quarter and were down by just a touch-down to St. John’s Jesuit before the game got out of hand. “We started with 51 players in the first game and we lost three for the season in the first game. Right now, we have six guys out for the season. We have four more that are out presently. Three guys are day-to-day, and seven of those 51 are freshmen,” Lee said. “So you do the math, and it’s a very difficult situation that our kids are fighting through. We are learning to fight through adversity. That’s evident in our games these last four weeks. “People in the community that under-stand football have nothing but good things to say about these kids. They know that these kids come to battle every night.” Lee knows that for his program to become competitive in a conference that includes perennial playoff contenders in Central Catholic, Whitmer, Findlay, St. John’s and Lima Senior, he’ll have to keep

kids who live in Oregon from migrating to the parochial schools in Toledo. That’s a challenge every suburban Toledo public school faces. “My goal is to keep kids from the city of Oregon at Clay High School,” he said. “We want to keep these kids here and keep them proud of their high school.”

Eastwood senior Sam Church wants a taste of what junior Hannah Sponaugle has already experienced twice – a chance to compete at the state cross country meet.

Church, the top runner on coach Stephanie Schneider-Sims’ boys team, and Sponaugle, a two-time state qualifi er for the Eagles’ girls team, turned in fi rst-place ef-forts last Saturday at the Northern Buckeye Conference Championships at H.P. Eells Park in Bettsville.

Church won with a personal-best time of 16:49.18, breaking his previous PR of 16:59 he set last year at the NBC meet, where he fi nished sixth.”

“I was going into it hoping I could break 17s this year, so I was pretty happy with that,” Church said. “I came in with a winner’s mindset and tried to do my best. I’m content with it. You run and sometimes your mind goes blank. I just tuned in and went and really wasn’t thinking. I pushed my body as far as it could go.”

Eastwood’s boys fi nished second be-hind Otsego, while Woodmore was third. The Eagles’ girls team, which had won the previous four NBC titles, took second be-hind Woodmore.

Sponaugle won the individual girls title in record-setting fashion, fi nishing in a personal-best 18:41.21. The previ-ous school record, set by Bailey Ulinski in 2007, was 18:56. Sponaugle beat runner-up Courtney Burner of Woodmore by 30 sec-

onds to earn her third straight NBC cham-pionship.

“I was very happy with that (race),” Sponaugle said. “The course was my fa-vorite course to run and it was really cool weather, and that’s what I like to run in.”

Sponaugle said she was “shocked” that she beat Ulinski’s school record. Her previ-ous PR this season was 19:10 at the Clay Invitational on Oct. 3.

“It was a lot faster than what I have been running,” Sponaugle said. “Even for a good day, it was very fast. It was always kind of in the back of my mind, but I want-ed to focus on improving my times fi rst.”

Schneider-Sims said Sponaugle knows only one way to compete. She has been the Eagles’ No. 1 runner since she was a fresh-man.

“Hannah approaches every race the same way,” Schneider-Sims said. “She goes out to win. She’s a very smart runner and knows what it takes and what she has to do. She goes out hard and runs hard the entire race. One thing we’ve worked on is getting stronger in the fi nal 800 to mile, and she is stronger. She has put in some extra time into her weight training and we have also increased her (training) miles this year.”

Sponaugle fi nished 33rd in 19:37.40

at the Division II state meet as a freshman, then took 48th in 19:49.98 last season. Her next step toward getting a third trip to National Trail Raceway starts Saturday at the D-II district meet at Memorial Park in Ottawa.

“I’d like to make it back to state and go for top 25,” said Sponaugle, last year’s district runner-up. “It’s going to take a lot of focus mentally and hard work. I’ve im-proved a lot from previous years, so I’d say I’m pretty confi dent in my training. I’ve been fairly consistent and consistently get-ting faster.”

Church has been the No. 1 runner for Eastwood’s boys most of the season, going back and forth with senior Josh Harper, who took fourth at the NBC meet.

“Sam’s been our No. 1 runner 90 per-cent of the time,” Schneider-Sims said. “Sam has a great kick. He knows where he has to be the entire time, and he’s going to kick at the end. Going into the big meets, his confi dence has been very strong. He also spends time in the weight room and has been getting in the extra miles. I see no reason why he cannot advance to regionals and make it to state.”

Church said his goal is to fi nish in the 16:30 range at the district meet in Ottawa.

“Looking at times for districts, I’m ranked about 10th,” he said. “I rely on my teammates a lot, especially in practice. They push me, and in turn I push them and we always get better. Josh Harper is always right there with me at the start and he push-es me to do my best, and we both get better as a result.”

Woodmore’s girls cross country team broke a seven-year drought last Saturday at the Northern Buckeye Conference meet at H.P. Eells Park in Bettsville.

Eighth-year coach Mike Moreno’s Wildcats, who hadn’t won a league cham-pionship since taking the Suburban Lakes League title in 2008, won the NBC meet with 54 points. Defending champion Eastwood was second with 82 and Genoa was fourth with 91.

Woodmore fi nished fourth last season.“At the beginning of the season I kind

of saw us shooting for third or runner-up behind Eastwood and maybe Elmwood,” Moreno said. “We had some kids who were new to cross country, so I didn’t know what to expect from them.”

Moreno said he got an inkling that the Wildcats were ready to push for an NBC title after their performance at the Lakota Invitational on Sept. 19.

“Courtney (Burner) won pretty hand-ily (with a career-best 19:01) and the team performed really well there,” Moreno said. “We didn’t win, but it seemed like the kids started seeing the big picture of working to-gether as a team and pack running. I tried to tell the girls that how our No. 3 through 6 (runners) performed, that’s how well the team would perform.”

Burner, a senior, fi nished second at the NBC meet behind Eastwood junior Hannah Sponaugle, a two-time state qualifi er. Sponaugle fi nished the course in 18:41.21, while Burner fi nished in 19:11.67.

“Courtney’s goal was to win, and she ran with the leader for the fi rst three-quar-ters of a mile,” Moreno said. “She did every-thing she could to put herself in position to

win. Hannah just ran a better race that day.”Burner, a three-time regional qualifi er,

has taken second place at the NBC meet three years in a row.

“I was disappointed in a way, because I always I wanted to experience win-

ning it,” said Burner, the daughter of for-mer Woodmore running standout Jennifer Helmice.

Junior Samantha Sedlmeier placed fourth for Woodmore in 20:31.68, while senior Jordan Grzegorczyk was seventh

(21:23.62), junior Noelle Freund was 15th (22:43.65) and junior Kate Barbee was 26th (23:13.74).

Barbee is a former soccer player and fi rst-year cross country runner, and Grzegorczyk is coming off a torn ACL a year ago.

“I had almost everybody have a season PR,” Moreno said. “Noelle Freund was No. 7 or 8 most of the season, and then at the league meet she was No. 4 for us. She had a great couple weeks of practice and she’s a hard worker.”

The Wildcats’ next race is the Division II district meet on Saturday at Galion. If Woodmore hopes to beat other teams such as Seneca East for the team title, Burner will have to lead the way. The top four teams and top 16 individuals advance to the Tiffi n regional.

“Courtney is a lot more focused this year and has a lot more confi dence,” Moreno said. “She’s always been on the bubble at regionals and has not had very successful races. I feel this is her year. It’s her senior year and it’s now or never, and she’s looking at competing at the next level.”

The Wildcats took third as a team at last year’s district meet, then fell short of the state meet by taking seventh at region-als. The 5-foot-2 Burner said she’s done ev-erything she can to prepare herself for the next three weeks.

“I think I fi nally got the confi dence I need,” she said. “Being a senior really does help because you have experience and you know what you’re getting into. It’s like a bloodbath out there (in the postseason). I feel like I’m a lot more trained than I have been in the past, and I see myself still peak-ing. If we all run like we ran (last) Saturday, we have a high chance of winning. I believe I can win it individually and we can win it as a team.”

In the wing-T offense, the ultimate plan is for the running backs to wear down the defense. Often, the quarterback is the forgotten man, merely the one handing off the foot-ball and then standing in the background. At Oak Harbor, that’s not the case. Junior quarterback Jeff Winterfield, a first-year starter, is being noticed and takes a background seat to no one. He is estab-lishing himself as a force to be reckoned with in the Sandusky Bay Conference, hav-ing led the Rockets to a 4-4 record. Winterfield has been instrumental in each of Oak Harbor’s victories, completing 38-of-57 passes for 504 yards and six touch-downs (one rushing) in the Rockets’ wins over Genoa (20-8), Eastwood (12-7), Huron (28-27) and Fremont St. Joseph (55-6). “One misconception of the wing-T is that the quarterback is not always involved in the offense. Our entire run and pass game goes through the quarterback,” eighth-year coach Mike May said. “He is responsible for dealing the ball to the running backs and carrying out fakes in the run game. When the quarterback does a great job with his role in the run game, it opens up the passing game. Since we do run the ball so much, we see a lot of defenders in the box. Jeff has a good arm and is an accurate passer. His ability to throw forces defenses to respect our pass-ing games. He has bought into the offense and done a great job with both phases of the offense,” May continued. “Jeff has a great work ethic. He is dedi-cated in the weight room and is very coach-able. This season, he has a done a good job of leading our offense.” That rushing attack does feature a wide range of backs, from Kalob Vargas to Andrew Heberling to Noah Harder to Dylan Mansor and Caleb Oberther, among others.

Winterfield say the line, which consists of Kyle Sherman, David Tooman, Ethan Berlin, Colin Underwood and Brandon Garber, has been key to opening holes for the running backs. In the Rockets’ four wins, they’ve rushed for a combined 685 yards. “It’s very important to have a balanced attack offensively,” said Winterfield, who also plays basketball and baseball. “We need both (rushing and passing) to be suc-cessful. It’s also very important for me to carry out the fakes and not reveal the ball

to the defense because if they don’t know where it is, that only makes it harder for them.” Winterfield credits his offensive line and backs for another element — their work ethic. “They work very hard in practice and listen to our coaches,” the Rocket QB said. “They know what to do and they go out and execute.” Perhaps the most exciting win was the one-point victory over Huron. The Tigers

completed a 35-yard pass on the game’s final play, only their receiver was ruled out of bounds, ensuring the win for the Rockets. Winterfield had the best game of his career, completing 19-of-24 passes for 192 yards and three touchdowns. Raymon Behlmer caught six passes for 61 yards and a score and Collin Hayslett had two recep-tions for 54 yards and a touchdown. Against Eastwood, Winterfield scored on a rushing touchdown and completed 7-of-13 passes for 82 yards in the rain, four of which were caught by Alec Young, who had 42 yards receiving. In the victory over Genoa, Oak Harbor’ first since 2007, Winterfield completed 9-of-18 passes for 174 yards and two touchdowns, including a 66-yarder to Jaret Parker that came off a play action fake and completely caught the defense off guard. In 2014, the Rockets struggled at times while adjusting to the wing-T after operat-ing out of the I-formation for May’s first six years. Now, it seems as if they are begin-ning to find a groove. That victory in the Celestial Ball over Genoa saw Oberther score on a 20-yard interception return and Behlmer and Heberling combine for six catches for 80 yards. In the Rockets’ four wins, Behlmer has caught 13 passes for 165 yards and a touchdown. Last year, Winterfield sat behind Andre Ramsey and used that as an opportunity to learn the game from the sidelines on Friday nights. “I learned to be patient and wait my turn,” Winterfield said. “I also had to develop the JV team (to prepare) for my junior and senior years.” Last week, against a powerful Perkins team, the Rockets came up just short on the losing end, 13-7. Winterfield completed 8 of 16 passes for 146 yards and six Rockets ran for 123 yards. Hayslett had two catches for 71 yards, Kyle Pape had four catches for 60 yards, and Raymon Behlmer had catches of nine and six yards.

Nick Korducki fi gures it’s about time, and he’s ready to step up.

“I don’t think a Cardinal Stritch kid has went to state since the late 1990s,” said Korducki, the Cardinals’ senior cross coun-try standout. “I want to do well in my dis-trict race to qualify for regionals, then try to make it to state. It’s been so long since Stritch has had somebody run a distance event at a state meet. If I can qualify to state, to show the younger guys what hard work can do for you, that would make my day.”

Korducki has been preparing him-self for this time of year all season. Last Saturday at the Toledo Area Athletic Conference Championships at Maumee Bay State Park, Korducki won the event with a personal-best time of 16:42.18. He helped Stritch take third place as a team be-hind Ottawa Hills and Gibsonburg.

Korducki’s win gave the Cardinals back-to-back individual boys TAAC champions, after Tim Lynn’s title last year. Lynn is now attempting to make the Eastern Michigan University track team as a walk-on.

Korducki, who fi nished seventh at last year’s TAAC meet and placed third two years ago, said winning it all last week “felt really good, especially after my inconsis-tency this year.”

“I was really looking to improve on my fi nish from my sophomore year,” Korducki said. “Last year we didn’t really have great chemistry as a team. I wanted to change that this year when I was elected captain,

After winning race, Korducki sets goals higher

and we’ve done a lot better than last year. Winning the TAAC was defi nitely something I had on my mind. A couple of my team-mates told me they thought I could do it.

“When Saturday came around and the gun went off, I wanted to try to get up over the hill ahead of everybody else and try to stretch out the lead and hold the pace.

I felt really great. I’ve never felt that way running in a race before. This year I really buckled down to see what I could do if I trained hard.”

Korducki had never broken the 17-min-ute barrier prior to this season. He did just that in the Cardinals’ second meet this sea-son, at the Seneca East Invite, where he placed fi fth in 16:50.7.

“That defi nitely proved that the hard work was paying off and he could set the goals he set for himself, which was to go to state,” Stritch coach Lee Mitchell said. “He puts in a lot of miles. Typically on a Sunday he will run 12-14 miles, and he puts in ex-tra running in practice. He’s pretty high-en-ergy; he likes to be moving. He’s been more focused his junior and senior years.”

Korducki said fi nishing in under 17 minutes for the fi rst time boosted his confi -dence. He typically ran 25-30 miles a week last spring, and increased that to 50-60 miles over the summer.

“I’ve trained a lot harder,” Korducki said. “I’ve had some ups and downs this season with injuries, so I had to dial my miles back. Saturday, that was the fi rst time I felt really good running in a 5,000-meter race. I felt I had zip in my legs and pop in my legs. It was great.”

Stritch competed in the Division III dis-trict tournament Saturday at Galion. The top four teams and 16 individual placers not on qualifying teams advanced to regionals.

“We defi nitely want to get out of dis-tricts,” Mitchell said. “Nick would like to make it to state. Unless he has a bad day at districts, the regional will be a big meet. That will be a big challenge for him.”

BoxBoxWoodmore considering a switch to TAACBy J. Patrick EakenPress Sports Editorsports@presspublications.com

If the Woodmore School District were to leave the Northern Buckeye Conference and join the Toledo Area Athletic Conference, it would fi nd a welcome recep-tion, according to the administration. Jim Kieper, principal of Woodmore High School, updated the board of educa-tion Tuesday on his meetings with TAAC representatives which have been going on for about a year. He told the board no commitment has been made and he would want to discuss the matter in more detail with coaches. “We defi nitely have an invitation from TAAC and I think we’ll have to decide sooner rather than later.” he said. “It’s just to explore possibilities. There’s no commit-ment yet to switching. It’s a decision we are going to have to look at. We are going to have to weigh it on our coaches. For being as small as we are, we offer a lot of things other schools just don’t offer.” The board didn’t take any action yet. Northwood athletic director and longtime football coach Ken James believes it would be a good move for Woodmore and good for the TAAC. He believes Elmwood is consid-ering making the move, too, and he would welcome both. “I think for the league it’s huge because No. 1, the proximity they have to several of us,” James said. “At this time, because the league was trying to go to 10 and (Tiffi n) Calvert bailed out, we brought Montpelier back for football and now we are at nine, but we are still at an odd number. “With Woodmore (potentially) com-ing in, and the potential to bringing in Elmwood, it gives us the potential of getting us to a number above where we can do divi-sions,” James said. “That’s been a plan in the league all along. We may need to add anoth-er one out west or wherever, but we’ll have an eastern and western division potentially and I think that makes the league better. “It makes it more competitive for us and that’s awesome because they are 15 minutes down the road and it was a rivalry when we were in the SLL (now defunct Suburban Lakes League),” James contin-ued. “So, we are excited about that. Same thing with Elmwood — we had a lot of great games with Elmwood when we were in the SLL together.” Johnson fi fth at state golf Lake junior Owen Johnson took fi fth place out of 12 golfers who qualifi ed as individuals on Oct. 16-17 at the Division II state golf tournament at North Star Golf Club in Sunbury. Overall, he fi nished 31st out of 72 golfers in the fi eld. Johnson shot an 87-82—169 during the two-day event. Lake coach Dorian Boggs was pleased with Johnson fi nishing in the

upper half of all golfers. “He played pretty well considering the circumstances,” Boggs said. “The magni-tude of being in the state tournament com-bined with cold and wind made the condi-tions very tough to score, but he hung in there and kept battling. “He putted pretty well all week but a few drives and iron shots got away from him during the course of the two rounds. I know he had hoped to score a little better, but get-ting there in and of itself is one heck of an accomplishment and I’m proud of the way he handled himself,” Boggs continued. (— Press sportswriter Mark Griffi n contributed)

Cross country champions There were 10 league cross country races involving Eastern Maumee Bay com-

munity schools (fi ve leagues, male and female), but only one team champion — Woodmore girls. However, there were fi ve individual champions. In the Three Rivers Athletic Conference, three-time state qualifi er, se-nior Haley Hess, won the individual cham-pionship with her all time best personal record, fi nishing in 18.30 to defeat the runner-up, Stephanie Sherman (19:12) of Notre Dame by 42 seconds. Notre Dame won its third TRAC title, but Clay has the other two titles in the fi ve-year history of the TRAC, and the Eagles were runners-up this year. In the Toledo Area Athletic Conference, Nick Korducki (Cardinal Stritch) won the boys race in 16:42.18, over 20 seconds ahead of runner-up Alden Byrne (17:08.61) of

Ottawa Hills. Northwood freshman Trinity Fowler won the girls race in 19:07.16, near-ly an entire minute ahead of second place Morgan Dembowski (20:06.55) of Toledo Christian.

The Owens Community College wom-en’s soccer team, fresh off back-to-back Region XII championships, will seek a return to the national stage this year.

“I’m pretty excited about this team,” said second-year coach Kenny Hewitt. “We’ve got a lot of potential, but you can’t rely on potential. You’ve gotta try and get the best out of them. That’s my job. I’m con-fident I’ll do that. We’ve got a great group of girls. The returning players are taking good leadership roles, and I’m excited.”

A six-player sophomore class includes midfielder Dominique Cruz (Northwood), who was part of last year’s team that reached the national tournament. The fresh-man class includes defender Jenna Kidd (Clay), midfielder Catie Phalen (Lake), and defender Sarah Wamer (Cardinal Stritch).

Cruz has started 15 of 16 games and has an assist and six shots and Kidd has started 14 games with two shots on goal, although both are primarily defensive specialists. Wamer has six starts and played in 15 games with two goals and five shots. Phalen started in one game and has played in five.

The Owens Community College wom-en’s soccer team got a pair of second half goals to post a 2-0 victory over Cincinnati State at home last week. With the win, Owens evened out its record at 8-8 over-all, while Cincinnati State fell to 10-5. Furthermore, Owens clinched a Region XII tournament berth with the win. They cur-rently have the No. 4 seed, but could have jumped to No. 3 with a win over Muskegon Community College on Saturday.

If Owens lost to Muskegon Saturday, they would take on No. 1 seed Schoolcraft College to open Region XII tournament play. If they beat Muskegon, their No. 3 seed would have them open against No. 2 seed Cincinnati State.

Should Owens reach the national tour-nament once again, they would become the first women’s sport at Owens to capture three straight Region XII titles and only the second program overall (men’s basketball

— 1991-92, 1992-93, 1993-94).This is the fifth season of women’s

soccer at Owens. The program compiled an impressive 56-17-7 record heading into the season. Hewitt embarked upon his second season after leading the team to a 14-5-2 record last year, including an appear-ance in the NJCAA Division I National Tournament. Hewitt admits doing so this year will be an uphill climb.

“It’s tough when we’ve got 15 fresh-men coming in,” Hewitt said. “It’s a change from previous years. We’ve just got to work with that, take our time, make sure (the players) get connected and understand the philosophy of the team. Once that gets set-tled in, whatever it takes...we’ll get rockin’ and rolling.”

Sophomore defender Lydia Yeager (Start) was also excited to get the sea-

son going after a strong preseason sched-ule that featured two NCAA Division II teams, Tiffin University and University of Findlay, and a strong NAIA team, Siena Heights University.

“(The preseason) just allowed us to work out all the kinks and things that didn’t work and did work,” Yeager said.

The sophomore class also includes goalkeeper Chelsie Randolph (Start), defender Siera Kovar (Bowsher), midfield-er Jessica Kreger (Bedford, Mich.) and for-ward Jordyn Wright (Riverdale).

Aside from the sophomores, another group of student-athletes that will define how this season plays out is the program’s first-ever international class, which also totals six players. They include Sophie Hollis, a midfielder from Surrey, England, Dayna Kingshott, a forward from King’s Lynn, United Kingdom, Emily Ginley, a midfield-er from Halifax, United Kingdom, Jermima Job, a midfielder from Nottinghamshire, United Kingdom, Ellie Kirby, a defender from Southampton, Hampshire, England and Talia Swartbooi, a midfielder from Johannesburg, South Africa.

“All of us together, it does create a really good environment,” Hollis said. “We all get along with each other. We can all relate to each other.”
