'A blessing to be back,' Kasey Bolyard takes second at district meet
PLAIN TWP. — Kasey Bolyard wanted a district title. No doubt about it. Still, as the Mogadore senior battled her way through soreness to a second-place finish Oct. 24 at GlenOak, she felt nothing but gratitude. A year ago, Bolyard missed the entire cross country postseason because of injury. So there was no way Bolyard was taking the chance to run for granted. "It's a blessing to be back honestly because during the summertime my training I felt like wasn't that good and I was just worried about regionals and states still and all of that," Bolyard said. "So it's just a blessing to be back and get to do what I love and get to be conditioned for basketball, too." Watch Ohio High School Sports Live on NFHS Network all year Bolyard's battle for second place was far from easy. She spent much of the Division IV girls race with a couple of competitors right by her side. She spent time in second, third and fourth as the three jockeyed for position. Still, Wildcats coach Diana Morris wasn't surprised when Bolyard came out at the head of that pack, placing second in 20:58.5. "She knows how to finish," Morris

H.S. Football: On the line or in the band, Firelands' Alejandro Flores shows off his skills
Alejandro Flores is easy to spot at the line of scrimmage. He’s 6-foot and a team-high 285 pounds. He’s impossible to miss in the marching band. Wearing his No. 77 Firelands football jersey, Flores dances at halftime near the 50-yard line while playing the mellophone — the marching band version of the French horn. Last week against Columbia, his white uniform was dirty after a busy first half — he started on the offensive and defensive lines — but that didn’t dampen his enthusiasm. After the short set, including “Seven Nation Army,” Flores handed off his instrument but high-stepped down the sideline with the rest of the band.
