'The magic happens' in the offseason for Pleasant's Joey Dietsch
Joey Dietsch personifies cross country. It's largely a sport of self-made athletes. During his first varsity cross country race as a freshman, it took him more than 22 minutes to complete the course at Northmor. In the final race of his high school career, the Pleasant senior raced to the final All-Ohio spot in the Division III boys state meet at Fortress Obetz, running a 16:29.6. That's more than 5-and-a-half minutes cut over his career. "He’s the perfect example of somebody who has been consistent and disciplined over the last six years since he started running in middle school," Pleasant coach Beth Lichtenberger said. "He was part of the group that went to state his freshman year. He was runner No. 6 and this little guy running along with the bigger kids. He kept with it." The evolution of Joey Dietsch as a runner Back in 2023, Lichtenberger couldn't quite see what Dietsch would become, but that's okay because neither could he.

Galion 7th grader captures spelling bee over students from 4 counties
It was a clash of the titans. Arden McCoy, a 7th grader at Galion, and Felix Beeson, an 8th grader at Sacred Heart School in Shelby, squared off for the Mid-Ohio Educational Service Center Spelling Bee championship on Nov. 10 at MOESC after winning their respective bees to qualify. The spelling aces dueled for six more rounds after everyone else had been eliminated before McCoy prevailed with "chaperonage," which means the art, stage or practice of being a chaperone, in the 11th round. McCoy had a chance to win two rounds earlier after Beeson missed on "lackadaisical," but he misspelled "orthographize." In the 10th round, both missed their words to keep the bee going. McCoy correctly spelled "malleable," followed by Beeson slipping up on "quadrilateral," in the 11th round. The Galion student connected on "chaperonage" to end the drama. At first, McCoy seemed thrown off by the championship word, but as he did several times with other words, he worked his way through it. "I just winged it," he said of his approach to the bee, which is usually the tri-county bee with Richland, Crawford and Morrow counties. Spellers from Knox County competed as well this time. McCoy proudly stood
