Bulldogs bow out of playoffs in shutout loss to Dover

THE PLAINS — Athens did enough in the regular season to earn a first-round bye, but the extended break didn’t translate into a win. The Bulldogs (9-2) wrapped up their 2026 campaign on Friday, falling 41-0 at home to the No. 5-seeded Dover Crimson Tornadoes (10-2). Athens, the No. 4 seed in Division III’s Region 11 bracket, got jumped on early and never recovered as Dover delivered a crushing, season-ending defeat. The Crimson Tornadoes were led by a dominant night from quarterback Dieter Weber, who threw for over 250 yards and four touchdowns in the win. Dover scored five touchdowns in the first half, forcing the running clock rule for the whole second half. Weber connected with Cooper Connare for two touchdowns, and also threw scores to Dailey Rowdy and Brady Hale. Cohen Murray and Dante Clark added rushing touchdowns. It was a night of missed opportunity for the Bulldog offense, playing an aggressive style while behind. The Bulldogs opened with a four-and-out, which Dover made them pay for with a 34-yard catch-and-run by Connare for a touchdown. Murray’s run made it 14-0 later in the first, and the Bulldogs failed to field a short kickoff, giving the ball right

Plaintiffs in short-term rental lawsuit ask judge to sanction defendant company

LOGAN — After 20 homeowners in a Green Township housing subdivision filed a lawsuit against a Florida company for buying a home there and turning it into a short-term rental, the company responded with a countersuit, alleging that the plaintiffs were interfering with its attempts to sell the property. Now the plaintiffs from Brad-Mer Acres have fired back with a motion asking a judge to dismiss the counterclaim, and to sanction the defendant company for “frivolous conduct.” In filing the countersuit, the motion alleges, defendant Palm Side Paradise LLC (PSP) is trying to “bully” the homeowners. “Because the counterclaim is not warranted under existing law and serves only to increase the cost of this litigation, Plaintiffs also request a hearing on sanctions,” the motion states. In August 2024 PSP bought a five-bedroom house in the subdivision, turned it into a short-term rental (STR) for up to 16 guests, and began marketing it on websites such as Airbnb.com and VRBO.com. In response, 10 residents of the subdivision filed a lawsuit in Hocking County Common Pleas Court, in which they argued that using the house as an STR violates Brad-Mer’s restrictive covenants. They also claimed that the rental was creating a nuisance.
