Federal Hocking falls in title shootout with Southeastern

WELLSTON — Ryan Grimm made his intentions pretty clear in the offseason. He expected his Lancers to compete for a district championship, and he knew they had the firepower to do so. What followed that proclamation was arguably the program’s best season in history. The third-year head coach routinely played 10-11 players, all of whom contributed to a 20-win season, multiple All-Conference accolades and just their second-ever district final appearance. But in an unfortunate twist of fate, their dream season came up just short of a district championship. Four points, to be exact. Federal Hocking (20-5) fought, clawed and scraped at Wellston on Saturday morning, earning every point in a back-and-forth, five-set bout against the Southeastern Panthers. The two sides delivered an electric final, but the Panthers (19-6) prevailed in the final moments for a dramatic victory and the district crown. “I’m always proud of our girls. That’s everything a district final game should be,” Grimm said, moments after Saturday’s defeat. “Yeah, we came up a little short. But that was the game of a lifetime, and if you’re going to go out, that’s the game you want to go and leave it all out there.” Entering the day as

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

West M football eyeing Indian Valley after turning away Philo

FALLS TOWNSHIP — For a quarter, football resembled the Fourth of July on the fabled hill at West Muskingum. Philo and the host Tornadoes combined for 28 points in the game's first 10 minutes in a wild first quarter of their Division IV, Region 15 first-round playoff game. It was a total 180-degree turn from their regular season meeting, when West forced six turnovers and took a 28-point lead into the half on the same West M Athletic Booster Stadium field. More: Carter Smith 'isn't normal.' Here's why that's a good thing for West M More: Philo tops Maysville, shares MVL title as Lincicome ties record Eventually, though, even a short-handed Tornado squad without starting quarterback Noah Morrison gained the upper hand in the second half of a 35-14 win. West (9-2) held a 341-217 edge in total yards, including a 174-16 advantage in passing, as it outscored the Electrics, 21-0, in the second half to break a 14-all tie. They overcame a pair of interceptions and a pair of turnover-on-downs in the red zone in the second quarter. It sets up a quarterfinal road clash with two-time defending regional champion Indian Valley (10-0) at 7 p.m. on Nov. 6.

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
