Mid-East students pursue CDA credentials through signing day

Early Childhood Education seniors at Mid-East Career and Technology Centers have committed to completing Child Development Associate training during Ohio’s first statewide Health and Human Services Signing Day, creating a pathway to nationally recognized early childhood education credentials, according to a community announcement. The signing event took place in early October in Zanesville. Students who complete the Child Development Associate, or CDA, program will work toward credentials that can support career advancement in a variety of early childhood education settings. The CDA training program prepares students to work with children from birth through age 5 and helps them develop skills sought by employers in the early childhood field, according to the announcement. “We are extremely proud of our Early Childhood Education students for taking this important first step toward a very meaningful and rewarding career,” said Katie Lucas, the Early Childhood Education instructor. “We know that when given the opportunity to become early childhood educators, our students will impact the lives of many young children, playing a pivotal role in facilitating learning and development during the formative years.” Students enrolled in Mid-East’s CDA program complete 120 hours of child development education coursework across eight content areas.

Zane Trace looks dominant in district title sweep of Portsmouth West

WAVERLY — Not so long ago, Zane Trace was journeying through a valley filled with adversity. After a hot start to the season, the injury bug bit the Pioneers, sending them into a midseason wall. However, after a dominant sweep of Portsmouth West in a Division V district final on Saturday, Oct. 31, it’s safe to say that the obstacle has been scaled. “In the end, the adversity that we’ve had made us a better team,” Zane Trace coach Ashton Ward said. “We have a deep bench now, and anyone can go in at any time. It made the girls talk more and get used to each other, but it’s really just a testament to our girls. They’ve gone through a lot, and they’ve worked really hard. They knew what they wanted, and they went for it.” RELATED: Adena rallies past Westfall to win program's 40th district crown The 25-15, 25-14, 25-17 win came behind a stellar showing at the service line and an impressive individual performance from junior Karlee Snavely. It marks the program’s first district championship since 2023. “We watched a lot of film, and Portsmouth West is a good team,” Ward said. “We just went in with

Southeastern ousts Federal Hocking in five sets, wins district crown

WELLSTON — Three sets into a Division VI district championship match, Southeastern was staring down the possibility of its season coming to an end. The Panthers had fallen into a 2-1 hole and were just one loss from elimination. But in that moment of desperation, head coach Brittany Lougheed found out just how gutsy her group could be. After forcing a fifth set with a decisive 10-point win in the fourth, Southeastern battled to extend its season with a 15-25, 25-20, 24-26, 25-15, 15-11 victory. “I think it says a lot about their character,” Lougheed said. “It would've been easy to get discouraged, hang their heads, and let (the first three sets) define the rest of the match, but they chose to fight for one another. That’s something I am very proud of. Today, they showed exactly what they're capable of when they believe in each other and refuse to quit.” HS VOLLEYBALL: Zane Trace looks dominant in district title sweep of Portsmouth West The Panthers (19-6) looked antsy in the first set, allowing the moment to get the better of them. And to make matters worse, after dropping the first, they dug a 7-0 hole in the second. But

Newark Catholic football unable to stop Fredericktown's Ashcraft

FREDERICKTOWN - For the majority of the first half on Oct. 30, it looked as if the Newark Catholic football team's return to the playoffs would be a triumphant one. The visiting Green Wave held a 16-6 advantage and was slowing down Fredericktown’s double-tight, double-wing ground-and-pound offense. Junior quarterback Johnny Ashcraft, however, would have something to say about that, as his running and passing rallied the Freddies to a 20-16 victory in a Division VI, Region 23 first-round game. In the waning moments of the first half, the 6-foot, 160-pound quarterback found sophomore Laken Hunter for two third-down big pass plays. The first was a 29-yard heave into double coverage on third-and-7, and later the two hooked up for a 26-yard touchdown on third down that gave the Freddies momentum going into the locker room. In the third quarter, backed up in another third-and-long situation, Ashcraft used his legs to slice through the Green Wave defense for an 80-yard TD run that gave the Freddies (9-2) the lead for good. Ashcraft finished with 16 carries for 277 yards rushing, which included runs of 36, 50, 80, and 71 yards, often on quarterback counter plays. NC (7-4) had its chances in
