Special teams loomed large in Sheridan football's playoff loss

COLUMBUS — A script-like night for football was "special" for Michael Thompson-Ayers and the rest of the East Tiger return men. Quite literally, it was their performance on special teams in their Division III, Region 11 quarterfinal matchup with visiting Sheridan that made this night memorable. Thompson-Ayers' 65-yard kickoff return for a touchdown was East's second long return of the half — Dominique Edwards had a 55-yarder on the opening kickoff — that impacted the game so much that visiting Sheridan didn't even kick their way until the final minute of the second half. It was the key factor in the third-seeded Tigers' 42-28 win before a festive crowd on Nov. 6 at Harley Field. East, which lost in the Division IV quarterfinals in 2025, advanced to face unbeaten Licking Valley at 7 p.m. on Nov. 13 at Randy Baughman Stadium.

Amazing comeback fuels NC volleyball's return to the state tournament

ZANESVILLE ― After dominating the first set, Newark Catholic volleyball found itself on the short end of 17-5 and 18-6 scores in the second against a talented, versatile Meigs Eastern team. A Division VII regional championship sweep in Zanesville High School's Winland Memorial Gymnasium hardly seemed possible. If the defending Division VI state champs were going to return to Wright State, a lengthy battle seemed likely on Nov. 7. Until it wasn't. Playing a tough nonleague schedule, competing in the challenging Licking County League and facing adversity in demanding practices, the Green Wave (21-5) stormed back and completed the 25-15, 25-23, 25-23 victory that earned it a 2 p.m. state semifinal berth Nov. 12. They'll play second-ranked Fort Loramie (22-4) in Nutter Arena in their record 24th state appearance. "I had full faith in our team. I always do," senior hitter Leah Caudill said of the comeback. "Little by little, we turned on the switch and responded. We expected it. In practice, we work on coming back from deficits. We find ways to expose the other team, work to put our hitters in the best position. It was crazy the way we came back, but it was fun." Coach Katie

Shenandoah, Meadowbrook standouts lead effort at state cross country

OBETZ − Some legends take years to build; others spend four years cementing their status in stone. Shenandoah senior Ida Estadt carved her name even deeper in the area high school cross country record books on Saturday, Nov. 7 to highlight a standout area contingent at the historic 98th annual boys and 49th annual girls OHSAA State Cross Country Championships at Fortress Obetz & Memorial Park. Estadt led a powerhouse local group of four total All-Ohio recipients by shattering her own school record with a blistering time of 18:14.5 to capture third place overall in the girls Division IV race, capping a decorated career with her third state podium finish in four years. Setting a new standard for the Colts Estadt wasn't the only local runner rewriting record books on the OHSAA big stage. Meadowbrook sophomore Vincent Campbell delivered an strong performance in the boys Division III action, recording a time of 15:10.9 to place fifth overall. Campbell's blazing time set a new school record, and secured the best state finish in Meadowbrook history, and made him the Colts' first All-Ohio recipient since 1992.

New Lexington survives defensive showdown to stop Heath

NEW LEXINGTON — A defensive battle ensued in Jim Rockwell Stadium on Friday night. New Lexington and Heath combined for just 11 first-half points in the Division IV, Region 15 quarterfinal. Both sides were looking for that game-changing play, and it was New Lexington that delivered. Tyson Spicer's interception set up the go-ahead score, and Carson McCoy's 47-yard pick-six helped the second-seeded Panthers seal a 24-17 win over the 10 th -seeded Bulldogs. New Lex (10-1) advanced to host third seed West Holmes at 7 p.m. Friday, Nov. 13. "They have a lot of great athletes and can make big plays. Our goal was to minimize their big plays, which we were able to do," New Lex coach Kevin Board said. "Our defense came up with the two biggest plays of the game. Our guys showed resiliency, and they answered the call in the second half." Heath coach Tim Ward praised his defense for slowing down New Lex. Unfortunately, the second-half turnovers were the Bulldogs' undoing. "They're a well-coached team. We knew they were going to throw multiple formations at us and use a lot of motion," Ward said. "Our guys lined up and played fast and physical, but they
