PICKERINGTON, Ohio (WSYX) — Tensions ran high as hundreds of Pickerington families crowded into the school board meeting after the failure of a key funding measure. Hundreds gathered at Pickerington High School North on Monday evening to confront the fallout after voters rejected a proposed 0.75 percent school income tax increase by just 256 votes.

It would prove to be RJ's final game as the Tigers rolled to a 48-0 win on Nov. 6. Ohio State HC Ryan Day taking in the sights here at the Massillon vs DeSales game pic.twitter.com/DIaXUydecD — Seth Bailey (@SethBailey04) November 7, 2026 A four-year starter for the Stallions, RJ set numerous program records during his tenure, including career passing yards, career passing touchdowns, single season passing touchdowns (25), single season passing yards (2,710), single game passing yards (482) along with the freshman and sophomore passing yardage records.

Adena completes special season with regional final loss to Meadowbrook

CAMBRIDGE — Seven games into this season, if you would’ve told Adena’s coaching staff that the Warriors would be playing in a regional final, they may have looked at you like you had a screw loose. At that point in the year, Adena was facing adversity, injuries to several key pieces, and was searching for any type of rhythm at 2-5 overall. But once they did find a formula that worked, there was no looking back. It all led to a Division V regional final appearance on Saturday, Nov. 7, at Cambridge High School. But after rattling off five straight victories to get to that point, the Warriors reached the end of the line with a 25-16, 25-21, 25-16 loss to Byesville Meadowbrook (25-1). RELATED: Four area volleyball players earn All-Ohio recognition “We saw Meadowbrook in the summertime and kind of knew what we were up against,” Adena coach Laura Smith said. “We just don't have the firepower they do, and we’ll just have to keep working on that. They’re well-coached and they work hard. And that’s not to say we don’t. But they have a lot more kids that are taller, and I know the work they do in

Western Local Schools educator receives two prestigious honors in 2026

LATHAM, OHIO — Western Local Schools is proud to celebrate Jennifer Buckler, K–6 STEAM and Career Development educator, for receiving two distinguished honors recognizing her dedication to innovative education, rural student opportunities, and community-connected learning. Buckler was named 2026 Educator of the Year by Building Bridges to Careers (BB2C), recognizing her commitment to connecting classroom learning with real-world experiences and career pathways for students in rural Appalachian Ohio. As part of the 2026 Community Career Connected Learning Summit: Investing in Our Talent Ecosystem, Buckler also served as a panelist, sharing her experiences and advocating for stronger partnerships between schools, local businesses, industries, and community organizations. During the discussion, Buckler emphasized the importance of introducing rural learners to career possibilities at an early age, particularly in communities where geographic isolation, economic barriers, and limited access to industry experiences can restrict students’ exposure to future opportunities. “You don’t know what you don’t know,” Buckler often says. “Our students cannot dream about careers they have never heard of or imagine futures they have never been exposed to. When we bring our community into our classrooms and take learning beyond the school walls, we open doors that many of our students never knew existed.”

Ohio Women’s Basketball outlasts Otterbein in Education Day Game

ATHENS, Ohio (WOUB) — Ohio Women’s Basketball kicked off their week with the annual Rufus Field Trip Game against the Division III Otterbein Cardinals. Ohio hosted over a dozen elementary and middle schools across Southeast Ohio and beyond with free admission as part of greater Education Day activities. After a slow start, Ohio pulled through to take the contest 68-44. The game offensively started out slow, with only three combined field goals being converted in the first three and a half minutes. Despite forcing turnovers, the Bobcats couldn’t make the threes they were hunting early in the first quarter. Otterbein capitalized early, giving Ohio a scare. A Kennedie Hill triple saw the Cardinals equalize at 9 before an Ann Waskiewicz fastbreak layup saw Otterbein take their first lead to end the first quarter.
