Zane Trace looks dominant in district title sweep of Portsmouth West

WAVERLY — Not so long ago, Zane Trace was journeying through a valley filled with adversity. After a hot start to the season, the injury bug bit the Pioneers, sending them into a midseason wall. However, after a dominant sweep of Portsmouth West in a Division V district final on Saturday, Oct. 31, it’s safe to say that the obstacle has been scaled. “In the end, the adversity that we’ve had made us a better team,” Zane Trace coach Ashton Ward said. “We have a deep bench now, and anyone can go in at any time. It made the girls talk more and get used to each other, but it’s really just a testament to our girls. They’ve gone through a lot, and they’ve worked really hard. They knew what they wanted, and they went for it.” RELATED: Adena rallies past Westfall to win program's 40th district crown The 25-15, 25-14, 25-17 win came behind a stellar showing at the service line and an impressive individual performance from junior Karlee Snavely. It marks the program’s first district championship since 2023. “We watched a lot of film, and Portsmouth West is a good team,” Ward said. “We just went in with

Southeastern ousts Federal Hocking in five sets, wins district crown

WELLSTON — Three sets into a Division VI district championship match, Southeastern was staring down the possibility of its season coming to an end. The Panthers had fallen into a 2-1 hole and were just one loss from elimination. But in that moment of desperation, head coach Brittany Lougheed found out just how gutsy her group could be. After forcing a fifth set with a decisive 10-point win in the fourth, Southeastern battled to extend its season with a 15-25, 25-20, 24-26, 25-15, 15-11 victory. “I think it says a lot about their character,” Lougheed said. “It would've been easy to get discouraged, hang their heads, and let (the first three sets) define the rest of the match, but they chose to fight for one another. That’s something I am very proud of. Today, they showed exactly what they're capable of when they believe in each other and refuse to quit.” HS VOLLEYBALL: Zane Trace looks dominant in district title sweep of Portsmouth West The Panthers (19-6) looked antsy in the first set, allowing the moment to get the better of them. And to make matters worse, after dropping the first, they dug a 7-0 hole in the second. But

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

Heath football rallies past Fairfield Union in Division IV

LANCASTER - Time was running out on the Heath football team’s senior class on Oct. 30. The Bulldogs were knocked down, but they certainly were not out. Heath erupted in the second half, rallying from a 15-0 deficit to escape with a 22-21 victory at Fairfield Union in a Division IV, Region 15 first-round game. The Bulldogs avenged a 22-3 loss in the first round a year ago. "It's awesome," said senior Camden Stephens’ whose 3-yard touchdown halfback pass to classmate Joe Ward got the Bulldogs on the scoreboard in the third quarter. "We knew we didn't get the outcome we wanted last year, and we were just out for revenge." No. 10 Heath (8-3) visits No. 2 New Lexington (9-1) at 7 p.m. Nov. 6. "We definitely played more together as a team, and we changed a few things on defense (in the second half)," Stephens said. "That touchdown pass I threw, we practice that all of the time. It all came together." Following a 41-yard field goal by senior Camden Montgomery to cut the deficit to 15-10, classmate Tristyn Jones scored on a 21-yard TD run, giving the Bulldogs their first lead at 16-15 with 10:59 left.

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

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.

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. More: A-C's Caiden Riddle overcomes losing his eye to play golf in college “We just couldn’t finish things off in that first set, and in that situation, you have to be able to handle the pressure,” Lancaster coach Leslie Davenport said. “We didn’t take care of the ball in the front row when we needed to in that first
