Hudson, Britton Deerfield look to keep playoff runs alive in crucial Week 12 matchups
Hudson and Springport met on the gridiron for the first time last season. By halftime, the Tigers knew they were regional champions. On Friday, for the second straight year, Hudson (10-1, 1st in LCAA) will host Springport (10-1, 1st in Big 8) at Thompson Field with a regional title on the line. Beckett Campbell stole the show last time around. The running back had a career night with 14 carries for 359 yards and five touchdowns to lead the Tigers to a 68-22 win over the Spartans as a sophomore. Campbell, now a junior, will lead Hudson once more against the Big 8 Conference champions. Springport retained momentum from its program-best 11-1 season in 2025. The Spartans ran the table with an undefeated 8-0 record in conference play. Their only loss this season came in Week 3, a 42-13 loss to top-ranked Beal City. Last season, Springport’s offense was led by senior quarterback Gibson Overweg. His younger brother, sophomore Rip Overweg, has since filled his shoes. Rip has led a Spartan offense that prides itself on running the ball and making high-percentage throws. Last week, he accounted for four total touchdowns in Springport’s 34-22 district final win over Decatur. “[Overweg]

Luna Pier non-profit offers free sailing for cancer patients
A Luna Pier non-profit is offering a temporary escape on the water for those suffering from cancer. Since 2024, Serenity Sailing, founded by Robin Cutcher, offers free sailing excursions for people with cancer and their loved ones. Cutcher was inspired when her husband, Greg, was diagnosed with lymphoma in 2021. While searching for resources, she found Sail Beyond Cancer, an organization that offered something similar. However, they didn't take the opportunity before her husband passed away in April 2023. "And then a few months after that, I kind of revisited this organization, Sail Beyond Cancer, started looking at their different websites, and thought perhaps we could use our boat, that I really wasn’t comfortable sailing by myself," Cutcher said. Initially, she wanted to open a Sail Beyond Cancer chapter in Monroe County, but those with the organization she spoke with didn't think it would be successful. So, with the help of John Miga, a member of the Jolly Roger Sailing Club in Toledo's Point Place neighborhood, she launched Serenity Sailing. In its inaugural year, there were 11 excursions serving about 40 people. In the 2025 and 2026 seasons, the organization served 120 people each. "I initially, especially, was working something

St. Francis sees undefeated season end in 2-1 state semifinal loss to Avon
CLYDE, Ohio — The St. Francis de Sales soccer team suffered its first loss of the season as the Knights’ goal of winning a state title came to a heartbreaking end in the Division II state semifinals on Tuesday night. No. 1-ranked St. Francis (17-1-4) held a 1-0 lead over No. 2-ranked Avon (17-1-3) at the half. But the defending state champion Eagles scored two unanswered goals off of set pieces in the second half to win 2-1. St. Francis earned a 1-0 lead after scoring on a corner kick near the midpoint of the first half. Connor Weaver sent in the corner kick, and the ball deflected in off of Avon defender Cole Veverka. The Knights went up by one with the goal on the set piece in the 24th minute of the first half. But Avon’s Brayden Carlin scored the game-winner, completing the comeback with 3:45 left on a header from off of a corner kick. The Knights, who outscored their opponents 50-7 this season en route to a Catholic High School League Bishop Division title, made it to the state final four for the first time since 2003. They fell 1-0 to Westerville North in the title
