PICKERINGTON − Four-time state qualifiers leading the way on the biggest postseason stages is becoming a hallmark for area cross country. Shenandoah senior Ida Estadt and John Glenn senior Ashlynn Kuklica headlined a remarkable effort on Saturday, Oct. 31 at the OHSAA Regional Cross Country Championships at Pickerington North High School, each punching their fourth consecutive ticket to the OHSAA State Cross Country Championships.

U.S. Department of Education approves Ohio’s Returning Education to the States Waiver

On Friday, the U.S. Department of Education (the Department) announced it has granted approval of Ohio’s Returning Education to the States (RES) Waiver. This approval grants the Ohio Department of Education and Workforce (ODEW) new flexibilities to use federal dollars more effectively on state priorities and improving student outcomes. Ohio is the eighth state to receive a RES waiver, joining Iowa, Louisiana, Indiana, Vermont, Arkansas, South Dakota, and Mississippi. This waiver allows Ohio to consolidate over $38 million in federal funds through 2029, bringing the total across all eight approved states to over $158 million, and unlocking unprecedented flexibility to better serve students and families. ODEW plans to leverage these funds to target literacy, accelerated learning, workforce readiness, and student wellness approaches that enable them to reach their full potential, rather than bureaucratic tasks and fragmented, program-specific activities. “Ohio has already proven it is ready to meet the moment in education, recently boasting a five-year high in reading proficiency by aggressively incorporating evidence-based literacy instruction,” said U.S. Secretary of Education Linda McMahon. “By embracing new flexibilities and aligning federal resources with Ohio’s own priorities, the state is driving exciting innovation that puts students and workforce readiness at the center.

Newark Catholic football unable to stop Fredericktown's Ashcraft

FREDERICKTOWN - For the majority of the first half on Oct. 30, it looked as if the Newark Catholic football team's return to the playoffs would be a triumphant one. The visiting Green Wave held a 16-6 advantage and was slowing down Fredericktown’s double-tight, double-wing ground-and-pound offense. Junior quarterback Johnny Ashcraft, however, would have something to say about that, as his running and passing rallied the Freddies to a 20-16 victory in a Division VI, Region 23 first-round game. In the waning moments of the first half, the 6-foot, 160-pound quarterback found sophomore Laken Hunter for two third-down big pass plays. The first was a 29-yard heave into double coverage on third-and-7, and later the two hooked up for a 26-yard touchdown on third down that gave the Freddies momentum going into the locker room. In the third quarter, backed up in another third-and-long situation, Ashcraft used his legs to slice through the Green Wave defense for an 80-yard TD run that gave the Freddies (9-2) the lead for good. Ashcraft finished with 16 carries for 277 yards rushing, which included runs of 36, 50, 80, and 71 yards, often on quarterback counter plays. NC (7-4) had its chances in

Red zone struggles doom Fisher Catholic in playoff loss

LANCASTER — Fisher Catholic’s Division VII postseason run was short-lived as the No. 8-seed Irish were shut out 27-0 by the No. 9-seed Steubenville Catholic Central Crusaders in the first round of the Region 27 playoffs on Friday, Oct. 30, at Fulton Field. “It’s always hard to end,” Fisher Catholic coach Luke Thimmes said after the game. “There are only seven teams that end their season with a win (now). Of course, you never want to, but you look back at practices and games and think, the best part was from all the way back in June to now: five to six days a week for a few hours a day, the players and coaches are together. And now all of a sudden, the finality really hard part, hits and it’s done. That’s the really hard part.” The Irish (7-4) put together a solid effort on defense for roughly three-and-a-half quarters and trailed only 13-0 when the fourth quarter began. Offensively, though, they struggled with execution and consistency, which ultimately led to the game getting out of reach late in the fourth quarter.
