Lancer defense delivers in district semifinal win over Fairfield
WELLSTON — Seemingly everything has gone right for Federal Hocking in what’s become arguably their best season in program history. 18 regular-season wins. Four All-Conference talents. Two Tri-Valley Conference MVPs and a Coach of the Year winner. That level of success could put a lot of pressure on a team to perform. But the Lancers play with more freedom than most teams around. “We don’t put pressure on ourselves,” Federal Hocking head coach Ryan Grimm said on Thursday. “Our girls work really hard. This is what we’ve played for all year.” Federal Hocking (20-4) played the part of the top dogs well on Thursday, walking into Wellston High School and easily dispatching the No. 6-seeded Fairfield Lions in a straight-set sweep. The Lancers looked every bit dominant in the 3-0 win, advancing to the program’s second district championship appearance ever with 25-8, 25-16 and 25-19 wins over the Lions (18-6). Returning to the same gym and round where they were eliminated in last year’s tournament, Federal Hocking wasted no time taking control of the match. Anchored by an unbelievable start from senior Megan Reichardt, the Lancers raced to a 13-2 lead that seemed to sink the Lions before they even

A-C's Caiden Riddle overcomes losing his eye to play golf in college
AMANDA — On a cold, rainy day, Caiden Riddle’s life changed in ways he could never have imagined a year ago, and what happened to him and how he handled it is nothing short of amazing. Riddle, a senior golfer at Amanda-Clearcreek, was golfing in a tournament at Darby Creek Golf Course in Marysville. He had just hit his tee shot and the player after him hit his, but it wasn’t a good shot. Riddle and another player walked down the fairway and went left, while the other player, about 100 yards behind, was about to hit his second shot. Riddle was talking with another player and turned around to see when the other player was going to hit his second shot. As soon as he turned around, everything went black. The shot hit Riddle square in his left eye and shattered. He blacked out, not knowing what had just happened. He was able to reach for a towel to wipe his eye, and when he looked down, the towel was full of blood. He was rushed to the clubhouse and then transported by ambulance to the emergency room. From there, Riddle rushed to Children’s Hospital, where he underwent emergency

Huntington football's first-ever home playoff game not a time to change it up
CHILLICOTHE — Three games into this football season, Huntington sat at 1-2 overall. It wasn’t the start the Huntsmen had hoped for, and it certainly wasn’t the start they needed to meet the lofty expectations they had set for themselves. Seven weeks later, they’ve won a share of the Scioto Valley Conference title and clinched the program’s second-ever playoff berth. “I mean, this was a big goal,” Huntington coach Clay Beeler said. “Honestly, earlier in the year, this seemed like something that we knew was out in front of us. But we had to grind to get it. I’m excited for our kids. They stayed focused and kept everything out in front of them, kept driving, and knew they could accomplish it if they just kept working hard.” They’ve earned the right to begin their postseason run in front of a home crowd, too. On Friday, Oct. 30, Huntington will host Covington in the first-ever playoff game at the Myrl H. Shoemaker Athletic Complex. “They can finally reap some benefits from the labor they’ve put in,” Beeler said. “This has been something that we've been looking for, for four years. We knew that this was going to be the year,
