Adena rallies past Westfall to win program's 40th district crown
WAVERLY — Before the start of the fifth set in a Division V district championship match on Saturday, Oct. 31, Adena coach Laura Smith pulled senior libero Kimmy Dalton aside and delivered a message. “I talked to Kimmy and told her that she had to be a leader out there,” Smith said. “I told her that the other girls were looking at her.” Dalton, who has earned Scioto Valley Conference and Division V District 14 Player of the Year honors this fall, took Smith’s words to heart. She spearheaded a stingy defensive effort while rallying her teammates in the decisive fifth set, pacing her Warriors (15-10) to a thrilling 15-25, 25-23, 22-25, 25-17, 15-12 victory over Westfall. The victory marked the program’s 40th district championship. “We’ve been able to get the kids to work hard and believe in what we’re doing,” Smith said. “It’s important to be skilled, but you also have to be a team. You have to learn to love each other. You don’t have to like each other. But you do have to love each other. I think we work hard on getting kids closer, so that they’ll want to work for each other. That’s been a

Lancaster volleyball falls in district final against Dublin Coffman
WESTERVILLE – Volleyball is a game of momentum, and winning the first set is crucial to a match. Lancaster had all the momentum on its side in the first set against Dublin Coffman during the Central District Division I district championship game on Thursday, Oct. 29. However, the Lady Gales let the advantage slip away and never recovered in a hard-fought 26-24, 25-17, 25-19 loss at Westerville Central High School. In the first set, the Gales had overcome a 20-19 deficit to take a 23-20 lead and looked like they were about to finish things off, but an unforced error gave the Shamrocks a little life they needed, and they outscored the Gales 6-1 to take the all-important first set. From there, Lancaster seemed to be playing on its heels and never got into the rhythm during the next two sets.
