Tell Tales

Busy Saturday n Two events went on at the same time last Saturday…

but we got both of them covered. First, I hope the first annual Burning Snowman works! Like all of you, I am very sick of winter! Plus, they had a very good crowd out at Lagoon Saloon I understand. And good for United Way! It was the kind of event, kind of like dropping a 16 foot fiberglass walleye, that is just goofy enough to draw a big crowd, and it did! I attended the “progressive dinner” fundraiser for the Lake Erie Im-provement Association that started at The Orchard and ended at CIC. Very nice event, good entertain-ment, good food, lots of friends.

n You may have noticed, but there is no more Magruder Hospital Charity Ball. It has been replaced by a Win-ter Mixer at Catawba Island Club on Saturday, March 14. “This a casual event,” said Hospital President and CEO Todd Almendinger. “The concept for this mixer is to come out to the CIC, enjoy some great food and music in support of the Magruder Hospital Foun-dation.” Live entertainment will be provided by the Womacks, a touring band with area roots in Norwalk. Tickets are $60 per person and can be purchased at Mary’s Blossom Shoppe, the Magruder Gift Shop or Bassett’s Market. I did ask Todd what I was supposed to do with the tuxedo I bought 3 years ago!

n Our “Find Wylie” winner this week is Barry Bowen of Oak Harbor who found our friendly fish hiding in the ad for Howard Hanna Real Estate on page 4B in last week’s Beacon. He was chosen from among 73 con-testants who entered our weekly contest. So, Barry wins our weekly $20 gift card from Friendship Food Stores. We promise to hide Wylie again this week, so if you find him, drop off an entry form at our office in the Beacon Place Business Center or click on the Find Wylie Icon at our website thebeacon.net.

n The Ottawa County Commissioners will accept pro-posals from anyone interested in farming the 72 acres of land located just off State Route 163 on Toussaint South Road near Lake Winds Industrial Park and the Highway Garage just east of Oak Harbor. If inter-ested, please submit a letter to the Commissioners at 315 Madison Street, Port Clinton, Ohio 43452 no later than a week from Friday, March 13, with the amount you would pay per acre. The current contract is for $168 per acre. The highest bid will be considered for a 3-year or 5-year contract.

n Here is a good cure for cabin fever…enjoy a movie! And you don’t have to drive to Sandusky or Fremont to watch one. They are being presented every Satur-day through March at the Liberty Air Museum at 6 p.m., and it’s FREE! You get to tour the museum for free also! They have built a drive-in style big screen in their main hangar. The Tin Goose Diner will have an assortment of food, drinks and snacks for sale throughout the evening.

n New State Representative Steve Kraus is inviting resi-dents to attend District Office Hours at the Ida Rupp Public Library this Saturday, March 7 from 10 a.m. to noon. “In order to better represent the constituents of the 89th House District, I feel it is important to speak with the people directly,” said Kraus. “This gives lo-cal residents the opportunity to share their ideas and concerns with me.” No appointments are necessary.

n Firelands Habitat for Humanity will hold an Applica-tion Workshop on Monday, March 9, at 6:30 p.m. at their office at 7602 Milan Rd in Sandusky. To RSVP, call 419-621-7818.

n Volunteers are needed to assist with the therapeutic riding lessons and barn help for Riders Unlimited, an organization that helps handicapped individuals with horseback riding. They will have trainings March 4, 9 and 11 at 6 p.m. For more information, contact them at 419-898-6164 or email them at [email protected].

n Lent is fish fry season. The Oak Harbor, Port Clinton and Marblehead Knights of Columbus will have their traditional Friday meals between now and Easter. At St. Boniface in Oak Harbor, they serve from 4-7p.m., all you can eat for just $9 for adults, and $6 for chil-dren 6-12. Kids 5 and under eat free. At the Denny Bergeman K of C Hall in Port Clinton they serve from 5-7 p.m. The cost is $8 for adults and $4 for children under 12. This price is also an all you can eat dinner of lightly breaded fish, French fries, coleslaw, mac and cheese, applesauce and lemonade or coffee along with a variety of desserts. They will be serving every Friday until Lent. Out at St. Joseph Marblehead, the K of C will have perch and pierogis on the following Fridays:

BY JASMINE CUPPOn Saturday, February 28, Norman, a 20’ snowman,

created by Lenny Kromer and Matt Ritter, was set aflame on the banks of the Portage River in Nugent’s Canal. The burning of the snowman was part of the in-augural festival that also hosted musical acts Dragon Wagon, Naked Bacon Band, Emily Keener, Corduroy Road, Acoustic Cacophony and Jerry Davenport.

In addition to music and fire, the festival had a spe-cial brew, the Burning Snowman dopplebock, which was created by the Catawba Island Brewing Company. There was also kids play with Lake Erie Adventure Play, raffles, a hog roast, food and drinks.

One of the raffles held was the chance to light Nor-man the Snowman on fire. The winner, Angie Askins, won the chance to light Norman with the committee members.

There was also a Basshole tournament; basshole is like cornhole, but it is played with fish beanbags. The champion team of the Basshole tournament were Terri Krach and Jon Smith. Lori Good and Shawn Curry came in second. Both teams received a $25 gift card to Friend-ship Food stores.

The Burning Snowman Festival benefitted the United Way, raising over $11,000.

“We were banding for beer and we went through over 2000 bands,” Kristen Gerwin of the United Way said when asked how many people attended the festival. “This didn’t count snowmobilers or people not banded for beer.”

Overall, the festival had about 30 volunteers that made it happen including the Burning Snowman com-mittee that included Lenny Kromer, Matt Ritter, Tricia O’Connor, Dave Hermes, Nick and Lynne James, Mike Roder, Sara Rine and Steve Hall.

The employees that were working at Lagoon Saloon, the location of the event, were also a big part of the event going smoothly. In an unexpected act of kind-ness, the employees of Lagoon Saloon donated 10% of their tips for that day to the United Way.

The festival was a great opportunity for residents to have a fun event to enjoy in the winter. Recreational winter vehicles and people lined the banks of the Por-tage to enjoy the festival and to watch Norman burn.

For more information about the Burning Snowman Festival visit their Facebook page at facebook.com/burningsnowman. For more information about the United Way in Ottawa County visit unitedwaytoledo.org/Ottawa or call 419-734-6645.

USDA Prime Graded Beef: The Most Tender & Flavorful of SteaksAnyone that has savored a USDA Prime Graded Steak knows that it is delightfully tender

and juicy with a buttery flavor which makes it distinctively superior to any other steak. Of all the beef produced in the US, less than 2% is certified as USDA Prime. Typically you will

not find USDA Prime in the supermarkets since its limited supply is gobbled up by fine meat purveyors that retail it to upscale restaurants and affluent customers.

TELL TALES from COVER

Thank You, Port Clinton, for making Burning Snowman a success

Thank you to everyone who made Saturday’s first Burning Snowman Fest a “hot time” that showcased the many wonderful things Port Clinton has to offer. The way this grew from a group of friends with a wacky idea about how to attract folks to our town in the winter into a bustling citywide event is a testament to the can-do spirit, enthusiasm and creativity that exists in our small town. We can accomplish amazing things when we all work together.

The Burning Snowman committee were all volunteers who worked tirelessly on this effort, and we could not have made it happen without the help of many in our community.

The support of Chris Galvin, Lisa Dubbert, Kristen Gerwin and United Way was invaluable. All proceeds, including money from The Catawba Island Brewing Co. brews and specialty drinks by Lagoon Saloon, benefited United Way.

Special thanks to our sponsors: The Catawba Island Brewing Co., USG, Commodore Perry Federal Credit Union, Croghan Colonial Bank, DZ Motor Sports LLC, Ohler & Holzhauer, Bell Mell Tavern, Rosie’s & 1812 Food and Spirits, State Farm, Slater’s Madison Street Pub, Mary Howard of Howard Hanna,

Muffler Smiths, Sloopy’s Sports Café, North Coast Cigar, Lake Erie Boutique Realty, Jet Express, Hart Advertising, Ares Metal, The Beacon, WPCR, and Davenport Signs. We also had support from Morgan Realty, Gerner-Wolf-Walker Funeral Home, Terry’s Tavern, Luc Ice, Orchard Restaurant, Ottawa County Commissioner Jim Sass, Zink Calls, and FriendShip Stores.

The ownership and staff of Lagoon Saloon took a chance on an untested idea and worked hard alongside us to make it a reality. Thanks also to Boy Scout Troop 360, who under the leadership of scout leader Jeff Kennedy, who not only let us use their tents, but also set them up and dismantled them.

Several times Saturday we committee members felt like pinching ourselves as we saw the great entertainment, the gorgeous sunny day, and then the huge crowd on the peninsula and the snowmobilers out on the ice gathered to watch “Norman” the Snowman go up in flames. We never imagined the event would go this well. We already have ideas about how to make Burning Snowman 2016 bigger and better.

Thank you, Port Clinton!The Burning Snowman Committee

BY JASMINE CUPPOn Sunday, March 1, Bob

Reynolds, in association with the Ottawa County Historical Society and the Maritime Museum of Sandusky, showed a film called The Maiden Voyage of Onward. The film was a historical account of Scott Matthews, creator and owner of Matthews Boat Company, and his 9000 mile voyage around The Great Loop in the first ever 70’ luxury yacht that Mat-thews built himself.

“I had a box of photos since 1976 (of the trip), I knew this story had to be told and given a life of its own,” said Bob Reynolds, grandson of Scott Mat-thews, before the showing of the film.

“With just one look at the archives, the museum said they were onboard to help tell the story,” said Reyn-olds. “We wanted to put it on DVD to form an elec-tronic archive.”

The film is a photograph-ic depiction of the “9000 mile trip that was filled with triumph and drama”. Scott Matthews, his wife and two children, a nanny and his brother-in-law Si-mon Miller all made the trip together. Miller was a photographer and was credited with most of the photographs in the film.

Matthews started build-ing boats in Bascom, Ohio, at age 20. He was under contract with a company called The Loizer Com-pany who built the motors for the boats that Mat-thews and his crew built. The boats at that time were under the Loizer name. Matthews was interested in building bigger, more luxurious boats under the Matthews name.

In 1900 Matthews gained national attention when his boat design was used at the 1901 World’s Fair when

the boat, Standard, that Matthews built, became the Gold Cup Race winner. The Standard won the race by going 23 MPH up the Hudson River.

In 1904, The Loizer Com-pany went from making boat engines to automobile engines.

While thinking about growing and moving his company, Matthews de-cided to take a family va-cation in his 70’ luxury, recreational yacht that he built named Onward.

In building the vessel, Matthews took his trip into consideration. “It had to be strong and move through water cleanly, there are many water conditions to take into consideration,” said Matthews in his memoirs.

The Great Loop, the route Matthews and his “crew” would travel, started in Peoria, IL down the Mis-sissippi River, into the Gulf of Mexico, around the Florida peninsula, up the east coast, up the Hudson River, through the Erie Ca-nal, ending in Lake Erie.

The film does a great job of showcasing the photos Reynolds acquired from the trip and using Mat-thews’ own words to paint a realistic picture.

Businessmen in Port Clinton offered Matthews the chance to have his company here. In Port Clinton, Matthews found the best location to retain employees and a place to not only sustain, but meet the needs of his growing business. The change in lo-cation would also take the company from landlocked Bascom to a great place on the Great Lakes which would be the best place to showcase Matthews’ boats.

The Onward’s journey ended in July with an an-ticipated arrival at the Put-in-Bay regatta. In the July

16, 1906, edition of the To-ledo Blade the arrival was documented.

In 1906 the Matthews Boat Company plant on the Portage River in Port Clinton was completed. The company had a long, successful life on the Por-tage. During prohibition, Matthews built boats that the rum runners used and built the boats that chased them (the U.S. Coast Guard).

In 1924, Matthews cre-ated stock built boats. This provided year round work for his crew and also en-abled the average family to be able to afford a recre-ational boat.

The Matthews Boat Company closed in 1975.

After the film was over, Reynolds took questions from the audience. Many people that were in at-tendance either worked at Matthews Boat Company or had family who worked there. There was even a couple that met there and have been married for 60 years. Matthews Boat Company is truly an iconic part of Port Clinton.

Laura Schlachter, Program Manager of Port Clinton Main Street said, “We have had an overwhelming interest of vendors from previous years and expect to easily fill our available spaces for this year’s Walleye Festival in Waterworks

Park. We wanted to reach out to ven-dors within the region early, since space is filling up quickly.”

Again this year, members of the Port Clinton Area Chamber of Commerce receive a 10% discount on their ven-dor space. Applications received be-fore April 1, receive a $25 discount.

Catawba Island Township trustees will hold a depart-mental work session Thursday, March 5, at 7 p.m. in the conference room of administration building.

In addition, township trustees invite individuals inter-ested in serving on the Catawba Island Parks Board to submit a letter of interest to the township, 4822 E.

Main Street Port Clinton Downtown Im-provement Grants are available for down-town businesses and building owners. The focus of the Downtown Improvement Grant is to provide financial support to downtown business owners and down-town property owners to improve their property, positively influence economic growth, and enhance aesthetic appeal.

These grants are made possible because of the success of Main Street’s fundrais-ers, specifically the Walleye Festival. Since 2013, $30,000 has been awarded to downtown property owners and business owners.

Main Street Port Clinton is striving to promote, preserve, and improve down-town historic Port Clinton as a vibrant center for businesses, entertainment, and cultural activities for residents of

the community and visitors to our area. Larry Hartlaub, Chair of the Economic Restructuring Committee and Main Street PC Board Member said, “I am really ex-cited about the Downtown Improvement Grant. It is our organization’s opportunity to put dollars into projects that reflect our mission.”

Committee Member Lee Vivod said, “I feel the Downtown Improvement Grant program shows Main Street’s commit-ment to the community and offers us an opportunity to put our money that was earned downtown to work downtown with our business owners”.

For more information about the Down-town Improvement Grant, please contact the Main Street Port Clinton office at 419-734-5503 or grant applications can be picked up at 110 Madison Street.

She has worked in a number of different fields since her graduation, including a long stint in the Florida Keys. From 2011 to 2014, she was an account executive and sales manager for Clear Channel Media in the Upper Keys.

“Lynn brings fresh ideas and energy to The Beacon, which is extremely important in this highly competitive and challenging en-vironment,” stated Schaffner. “We look for-ward to her leadership and determination to help the customers of The Beacon be even more successful.”

Not again, right?Just one year after having a great regu-

lar season and seeing things abruptly end in the tournament at the hands of an un-derdog, the Bowling Green Bobcats, Port Clinton was in danger of having the same thing happen once again.

Last year, Port Clinton brought a 17-5 record into their Division II Sectional Fi-nal showdown with Bowling Green, only to fall before getting back to districts. (It should be noted that the Redskins played the game without one of its best players, Hope Thorbahn, who is currently playing at Notre Dame College.)

And in their second consecutive show-down with the Bobcats, Port Clinton trailed by nine points midway thru the third quarter, only to answer the call and rally for a 49-45 victory in the Div. II Sec-tional Final.

The key sequence came with the ‘Skins trailing 34-25 and three minutes remain-ing in the third. Port Clinton ended the quarter on a 10-2 run and seized momen-tum, cutting the deficit to 36-35 head-ing into the fourth. The key play came with 1:45 remaining when, Sydney Al-exander, who was boxed out, tapped the ball back to Hannah Weaver off a miss, enabling Weaver to shoot and connect on a three-pointer, cutting the deficit to 34-31 and giving the ‘Skins the jolt they needed to further sustain the rally. The basket came in between two key Bobcat fouls that were just as instrumental to the outcome of the game. One minute be-fore that shot, Bowling Green’s Kendall Glandorff, a 5-10 guard who led all scor-ers with 17 points, picked up her fourth foul, and just after the shot, her team-mate, 6-1 forward Livvy Dill, who fin-ished with 12 points, also picked up her fourth foul, sending them to the bench.

Port Clinton opened the fourth quarter on a 4-0 run with all of the points coming on free throws, three of them by Alexan-der, giving the ‘Skins their first lead at 39-36 since early in the second quarter.

The Bobcats tied the score at 41 on a free-throw by Abby Szabo with 4:26 re-maining and Dill scored on a layup with 57 seconds to play that tied it at 45. The ‘Skins, however, scored the game’s final four points, with all of them coming at the free-throw line. With her team lead-ing, 46-45, Weaver connected on two foul shots with 24 seconds to play, making it a 48-45 game, and after Bowling Green missed a layup, Alexander hit one last free throw with 4.8 seconds remaining to clinch it.

In all, Port Clinton, the No. 3 seed in the Perrysburg District, connected on 17-of-25 free throws. But the most important stat was the rebounding total, which the much taller Bobcats won, 38-35, but it wasn’t by enough of a margin to make the difference. Bowling Green, the six seed in the district, had two players that stood 5-10 and another who was 6-1. The ‘Skins, meanwhile, had just one player in its ro-tation, that being Alexander, who stands 5-9, that was close in height to the tallest Bobcats.

“We knew going in that they were a very good rebounding team,” Port Clin-ton coach Toby Bickel said. “They love to drive the ball on offense. That’s what we stressed. Emily Ashley had foul trouble in the first half and was on the bench for quite a few minutes, and to only be down four at halftime, I felt somewhat good. We talked about keeping them off the boards (at halftime) and we had to do a better job stopping their dribble penetration. We did a much better job on the boards in the second half, (and) they got into some foul trouble. Dill and Glandorf got their fourth fouls (respectively) in the third quarter. Some of that had to do with us attacking on offense. We didn’t shoot free throws as well as we did in the past, (but) we made some down the stretch when it counted.”

For the most part, Port Clinton was able to limit the damage to Glandorff and Dill, who combined for 29 points. Other than those two, no Bobcat scored more than six points.

Port Clinton had a very balanced scor-ing attack that saw six players score. Em-ily Ashley, who was recently named the Sandusky Bay Conference’s Most Out-standing Performer, led the team with 14 points, Weaver had 12 and Alexander and Bethany Urban finished with seven

apiece. And Marissa Day and Adrianna Hall each com-bined for nine points, all of them coming on three-point-ers that helped the ‘Skins to an early lead in the first half.

“Sydney did a great job in the second half,” Bickel said. “She’s long and can jump, and she got some rebounds, made some buckets, and had one or two back taps where she couldn’t get the ball. Hannah hit the three after we were down nine and were spinning our wheels. And all of a sudden, we got a couple buckets and it’s a game. We were down one at the end of three quarters. Sydney really played a big game for us. She came in and she’s got some length and some jumping ability.”

In the first half, the ‘Skins led by as many as six points in the first quarter and held a 16-15 advantage heading into the second quarter before the Bobcats went on an 8-2 run to grab a 23-18 lead. Bowling Green would take a 25-21 lead into halftime.

Port Clinton, which plays against Central Catholic, the second seed in the district, on Thursday at 8 p.m. at Per-

rysburg High School, had a stiff challenge facing one of the biggest Div. II schools while being one of its smallest. Despite finish-ing with just a 6-16 record, the Bobcats competed in the Northern Lakes League against the likes of Perrys-burg and Northview while battling injuries, an indi-cation that their record is rather misleading.

“They had some health issues (but) they were healthi-er on Saturday,” Bickel said. “Anytime you’re facing a big Div. II school that is used to playing Div. I schools, that’s a challenge.

“We were the three seed out of 12 teams. I really thought we got one of the tougher draws with BG. We got a tough draw with the three seed. I knew how good BG was. They’ve got some nice players and to finally beat them was great.”

If the ‘Skins defeat the Irish, they’ll tie the program’s single-season record with 21 victories, which was set two years ago. It would be a great way to add to a season that has seen them win the program’s first SBC championship.

This victory, like some of the other ones Port Clinton has had this season, was not about winning pretty, it was about being scrappy and fighting against a team that pre-sented a number of challenges for the ‘Skins, which they were able to ultimately answer.

“We don’t always play pretty,” Bickel said. “We got down nine and these kids just didn’t quit. They believe in them-selves and they find a way to win the game. Whether it’s a key rebound or a key free throw or a key stop on defense, they just believe in themselves and they have found a way to get it done at the end. It’s a tough group of kids. That starts with our two seniors -- they’re so tough, they’ve been leaders all year for us.

“I don’t really enjoy the wins until two days later. It was definitely a relief after losing to them last year. It was definitely a relief to hear the buzzer go off and see them cut the net down, more so for the kids. I would’ve hated not to win because these kids have fought so hard. To cut down an SBC net and a sectional net, this is something they’ll remember forever. They’ll talk about this 20 years from now.”

It’s always important to head into the tournament with some momentum, and Port Clinton is doing just that.

The Redskins recently stopped a seven-game losing streak and followed it up with a three-game winning streak, one they hope to continue into the tournament.

Port Clinton’s most recent victory was a 75-71 overtime triumph over Oak Harbor, one that saw them rally as four players finished in double figures, including Drew Fodor, who had a career-high 23 points.

Heading into the fourth quarter with the game tied at 45, the Rockets held a 58-55 lead following two free throws by Tyler Sievert at the 1:43 mark. But Carter Rumball hit a three-pointer from the left wing to tie it just 13 seconds later. In fact, he had had a chance to win it late, but he missed a three-pointer from the right wing with just five seconds remaining, sending the game into overtime.

At that point, the home team had the momentum and won the extra session, 17-13.

“Carter hit a three when we were down three – he hit one on our side of the bench and we got five (points) right away in overtime,” Port Clinton coach Von Graffin said. “We have not lost a game this year where we’ve led in the last four minutes.”

It was a back-and-forth game throughout, one that you’d expect from two rivals. The ‘Skins led, 14-10, after the first quarter only to see Oak Harbor rebound to out-score Port Clinton, 23-14, in the second quarter, which was good enough to put them ahead 33-28 at the half. Sievert, who had a game-high 27 points, keyed the run by scoring 10 straight points. He finished the game with six 3-pointers. As a team, the Rockets shot 7-of-13 from beyond the arc in the first half.

“We discussed the fact that Oak Harbor had shot about as well as it had all year,” Graffin said. “When a team shoots 7-of-13 from three-point range, we knew they’d cool off. We just had to get the ball inside and take care of our possessions.”

A key statistic was foul shots – Oak Harbor was just 9-of-18 while Port Clinton converted on 20-of-31 at-tempts.

“That was the first game all year,” Graffin said, “where we made more free throws than our opponents attempt-ed.”

In the third, the ‘Skins opened the quarter with a 13-4

run to take a 41-37 lead, but the Rockets responded with an 8-2 run of their own, good enough to give them a 45-43 advantage.

In addition to Fodor’s 23 points, Tytan Rumball finished with 18, including three 3-pointers, his brother, Carter had 15, also connecting on three 3-pointers, and Stefan Daniels had 12 points.

“It was nice to have four guys in double figures,” Graffin said. “We’ve got some guys with some ability. We haven’t had many games where we made a lot of shots. We’re playing better defensively and we’re starting to hit shots. When you make shots, it changes the entire game.

“We had not won since Stefan and Carter had scored double figures at the same time. Ever since (the winning streak), they’ve scored in double figures together.”

Port Clinton finishes the regular season with a 9-13 re-cord and a 6-6 mark in the Sandusky Bay Conference, good four fourth in the league. Oak Harbor, meanwhile, is 5-17 and 2-10 in the league.

On Tuesday, the Rockets, the No. 12 team in the Divi-sion II Mansfield District, faced No. 1 Ontraio. If Oak Harbor won, it will face No. 11 Perkins on Friday at 6:15 p.m. at Mansfield Senior High School. The ‘Skins, who are seeded ninth, faced No. 9 Galion (9-13), and if they won, will face No. 2 Sandusky on Friday at 6:15 p.m. at Willard High School.

“We’ve played four of our juniors a lot of minutes,” Graf-fin said. “The seniors wanted to win, the younger guys (now) know what it takes to win. We are making it hap-pen. If we haven’t developed their skill set, that is square-ly on our shoulders. It’s our job to develop skill.”

BOYS from 2B

The Port Clinton Lady Redskin bowlers’ great season ended at the District Tournament at Interstate Lanes in Rossford on Saturday.

Despite starting with a very food 944 team game, they slipped to 808 and 803 the next two games and then rolled a dismal 921 six game baker that ended their sea-son. They finished fifth behind Coldwater, Napoleon, Bryan and Rossford. The top four teams advance to the state finals.

Alysia Zoeller did advance to the state as an individual entry and Jozlyn Seamon missed advancing by only 17 pins.

“The girls had a fantastic season, one I hope they’ll al-ways remember. This in no way diminishes what they achieved this year,” said Coach Bob Black. “Some days it just doesn’t happen. We had a great start, a start I hoped for. Then we started missing spares and making poor first ball shots. Nothing we did seemed to work. We were undefeated in the season, conference and we were con-ference tournament champs, we won four other tourna-ments, got numerous conference awards and set all of the school records. That’s what we want the girls to remem-ber.”

Zoeller rolled games of 224-172-172 for a 568 series to advance to state from non-qualifying teams. Seamon capped her sophomore season with 214-159-174 for a 547 series. Other scores were Reilly Wittman 162-161-172 for 495, Eryn Binder 160-178-145 for 483 and Samantha Stroupe 184-138-140 for 462. Kassidy Mahler bowled a baker and also on the team is Katelyn Chapman.

“While we lose four very good seniors, with Kate, Jozlyn and Reilly returning and two freshman and two eighth graders coming up, we feel we will be competitive next season,” said Coach Black.

With her performance in Oak Harbor’s 48-40 victory over Bucyrus in the Divi-sion III Sectional Final, Andrea Cecil add-ed to her impressive resume.

Two years ago, in her first tournament game, Cecil had what was probably her most impressive performance in the post-season as she helped the Rockets rally from a nine-point, second-half deficit by scoring 17 points, including 10 in a 15-0 run that helped Oak Harbor rally to de-feat Perkins, 39-38, in a Div. II Sectional Semifinal.

But last Saturday, the junior forward did herself one better, scoring a game-high 26 points and keying a third-quarter rally as the Rockets held off a feisty Lady Red team to advance to the district tournament for the second consecutive season. It was also the second straight season in which Oak Harbor ended Bucyrus’ season. (Last year, the Rockets defeated the Lady Red, 54-48, in the Div. III District Semifinals.)

After Bucyrus’ Torie Tanner connected on two consecutive jumpers to score the first four points of the second half and

give Bucyrus a 26-22 lead, Cecil respond-ed with a personal 7-0 run of her own, which began with a three-pointer from the right wing that came off a crossover. She then scored on consecutive put-backs, the last one coming at the 6:01 mark to put Oak Harbor ahead, 29-26. Just 18 seconds later, the Lady Red’s Ashton Hawkins hit a three-pointer to tie the score, set-ting things up for the key sequence when Rocket point guard Abby Dornbusch, a freshman, connected on consecutive three-pointers to give Oak Harbor the lead for good.

The first came at 4:30 from the left cor-ner, giving Oak Harbor the lead for good, and the second, which came from virtu-ally the same spot, put the Rockets ahead, 35-29, with 3:07 remaining in the third quarter. Both jumpers were set up by Oak Harbor getting the ball into the paint and drawing the defense in, helping to create space for Dornsbusch. Megan Flaherty hit a jumper 20 seconds later, cutting the deficit to 35-31 before Cecil scored four straight points to push the lead to eight. But Lady Red center Kelsi Simms scored on a free throw and later on a basket with

six seconds to play, making it a 39-34 game after three quarter.

The fourth quarter was a defensive struggle, one that saw a total of only 15 points scored. Simms scored on a jumper with 4:40 left to play, cutting the deficit to 42-38 before Hawkins scored nearly three minutes later on a basket with 1:47 to make it a two-point game. Bucyrus fouled Cecil 13 seconds later, and she connected on both free throws, pushing the lead to 44-40. During the second foul shot, Simms fouled Rocket center Maddy Rathbun while trying to box her out, earning her two free-throw attempts, both of which she converted to give Oak Harbor a six-point lead. The Lady Red failed to score on the other end, and Cecil converted on two more foul shots with 46 seconds to round out the scoring.

Cecil scored 18 of her 26 points in the second half, including 11 in the third quarter when the Rockets took control of the game, and grabbed a game-high 14 rebounds. She also endured her share of physical abuse, getting fouled a multi-tude of times, including once in the fourth quarter when three Bucyrus defenders sandwiched her on a foul as she drove to the basket, knocking her to the floor on a play that resembled a running back being tackled by defenders. What made her per-formance even more impressive was the fact that she struggled in the first half to find her shot. But in addition to scoring, she also guarded Simms, Bucyrus’ 6-foot, go-to scorer that caused problems for Oak Harbor in the first half, for the game’s fi-nal two quarters, holding her in check. With Cecil guarding her, Simms managed just five points in the second half, and the Lady Red put up just 18 points in the final 16 minutes.

“We went man-to-man in the second half,” Oak Harbor coach Tom Kontak said. “Andrea grounded Simms in the second half. We told her that every shot she took in the first half was a good shot, and that they just weren’t falling. They’d start fall-ing and we’d get some fouls. Then we got some breakouts and some put-backs.”

In the second half, the Rockets ran plays almost exclusively for Cecil, giving her the ball at the top of the key and trust-ing her to make a play, which she often did, whether it was driving to the hoop or kicking the ball out to teammates situated

on the perimeter.“The play is designed for me to have

some options,” Cecil said. “That was my mentality; this is my job, this is for me. One of the sayings we have as a team is we’ve gotta play with heart, and that’s what we did. If we didn’t play with heart, the game could’ve gone the other way.”

It was the 12th win in the last 14 games for the Rockets, who are now 15-8. Bucyrus ends the season at 12-12.

In addition to Cecil’s 26 points, Dorn-busch scored eight to help pace the Rock-ets, and Rathbun finished with six while grabbing some key rebounds. For the Lady Red, Simms led the way with 13 points, Tanner chipped in with 10 and Flaherty scored eight.

The game, which was tied at 22 at half-time, saw the Rockets confuse the Lady Red early with their trapping defense, causing two turnovers and taking a 6-0 lead before Bucyrus called a timeout just 50 seconds into the game. From there, the Lady Red got back into the game and scored their first points at the 5:39 mark on a put-back by Simms before Oak Har-bor pushed the lead to 11-4, only to see Bucyrus respond with a 10-2 run to take a 14-13 lead after one quarter.

There were four lead changes in the first half, the last one coming on a three-point-er by Rocket guard Emma Bergman with 41 seconds to play in the second quarter that put Oak Harbor ahead, 22-20, before Gabby Seibert scored on a baseline jumper to tie the score with 20 seconds remaining.

“We got ahead of ourselves (in the first half),” said Cecil. “We had that great start and lost it, and I think we let the crowd get the best of us. They scored a quick four points (after we went up 6-0). We’d been down at the half before and we knew we could come back. We came back after be-ing down 19 against Edison.”

“I thought Emma Bergman’s three-pointer kept us on track,” Kontak said. “To be tied at 22, we were fortunate. And Abby Dornbusch hit two big shots for us (in the second half).

“They’re growing as players and as a team,” he said. “That’s the beauty of the game -- it’s a team game. We faced ad-versity when we were 3-6. They’re prov-ing to themselves that special and magical things can happen.”

Lady Rockets holds off Bucyrus to win sectional title

“I SELL VIEWS!”

In the last scheduled game for the seniors, the Lakers experienced some cold shooting against vis-iting Cardinal Stritch in a 58-34 loss last Friday, Feb-ruary 27.

Danbury was on the downside after the first quarter by a 12-8 margin and 30-18 at the half. Af-ter that, the buckets were more difficult to obtain as

the Lakers could only con-nect on six tallies in the third quarter and ten in the fourth.

Caleb Gerber led the Lak-ers with nine points fol-lowed by John Rhodes and Hunter Stinchcomb with eight each.

The Blue and White fin-ished the season with an overall record of 4-14, 2-4 in the TAAC.

Danbury senior, Ryan Chapman, brings the ball down court against a Cardinal Stritch defender.

Port Clinton High School offers College Credit Plus

Port Clinton High School will continue to offer college credit courses to qualifying students. This program, pre-viously known as Post Secondary Educational Options (PSEO) is now College Credit Plus. Ohio’s new College Credit Plus gives students an opportunity to take col-lege courses through eligible post-secondary institutions, which provides an opportunity to earn college and high school credits at the same time by taking college courses. The purpose of this program is to promote rigorous aca-demic pursuits and to provide a wide variety of options to college-ready students.

Students in grades 7-12 can apply for College Credit Plus admission to a public or participating private college. The

college will admit students based on college-readiness in one or more subject areas. PCHS guidance counselors help students and parents understand options, deadlines, and how to proceed. Students may not participate in the College Credit Plus program beyond their anticipated high school graduation date.

To find out more about the program attend the March 5, 5 p.m. meeting in the PCHS Performing Arts Center. If planning on participating next year, students must have the intent to participate form turned in no later than April 1, 2015. Students in grades 6-8 turn the form into Mrs. Sanchez in the middle school office, students in grades 9-11 turn the forms into the high school guidance office.

Fifth grader Marcella Brenner didn’t waste any time in making a few changes as she accepted her new position on Wednesday as principal for a day of Immaculate Con-ception School. Marcella started by making Wednesday a “more than buck a jeans” day in which students could dress out of uniform for the school day in exchange for a donation to a chosen charity. The money raised that day will go to parish and school families that have recently found themselves victims of devastating house fires.

Because of the extreme temperatures, it has been a while since there has been an outdoor recess at school, but Marcella brought the fun inside. She challenged each class to build a classroom snowman completely out of recycled materials. The results were an amazing show of creativity and resourcefulness.

After lunch, the principal allowed the students to com-pete in relay races in the school gymnasium and then treated the entire school to an ice cream sundae bar af-terwards.

Principal for a day was raffled off at the 2014 Immacu-late Conception Birthday Bash Auction. This auction will be held on April 25 with the theme Past, Present, Future. The theme is a reflection on the rich heritage of ICS and an exciting look forward to the many young lives that will be shaped in the future by a faith filled education. For

more information about the auction, contact the school office at 419-734-3315.

When asked what the best part of her day was Marcella said, “I really didn’t have a favorite part because it was all fun. The most difficult part was giving directions. There is a lot of responsibility.”
