Chillicothe can't contain Miami Trace's Julian Baker in Week 12 loss

CHILLICOTHE — When Chillicothe’s football program reconvenes in the middle of this coming summer, the Cavaliers will have plenty to build upon — and plenty to prove. Chillicothe saw its season end with a 35-14 loss to Miami Trace on Friday, Nov. 6, in a Division III, Region 12 quarterfinal at Herrnstein Field. But the end of the road doesn’t negate an 8-3 overall record, a home playoff game, and another layer of brick added to the program’s now-firm foundation. “My message to the kids was not to hang their heads,” Chillicothe coach TJ Carper said. “This is just the start of the future of this program. You look back at this season and it’s one of the best seasons that Chillicothe has had in a long time. I’m proud of our guys, I love them and I’m here for them. I think they’re going to apply the success they’ve had to everything else they do in life.” HS FOOTBALL: Mechanicsburg ground game ends Zane Trace season After coming into the contest with hopes of getting past Miami Trace and into Week 13, Panthers running back Julian Baker quickly made it clear that it wasn’t going to happen.

Unioto, Piketon reach end of season with Week 12 losses

Bellbrook 49, Unioto 14 Bellbrook took care of business against Unioto (8-4) on Nov. 6 in a Division III Region 12 quarterfinal by a 49-14 final. Bellbrook's Kenton Gerdes started the scoring with a 24-yard touchdown run, and while the Shermans drove the ball down the field when it was their turn, Jack Kosins intercepted the ball at the 1-yard line. The Golden Eagles then drove the ball 96 yards, capped this time by a 14-yard Bronson Epifano run to make it 14-0. JC Penewit caught the next score on a three-yard pass from Grant Diorio, making it 21-0. Unioto got on the board when Blake Braden hit Brayden Harsha for a 37-yard score. Diorio, though, made it 28-7 at the half when he ran one in behind a bevy of blockers. Unioto didn’t go quietly, as the combo and Braden and Harsha hooked up again, this time from 32 yards out to make it 28-14. But Grant Diorio answered with his third score on a one-yard run to make it 35-14 with 6:30 left in the third. Kosins picked off his second pass of the game on the next possession and the Golden Eagles cashed that in when Kosins

Chillicothe looking to right wrong in playoff matchup with Miami Trace

CHILLICOTHE — Just over a month ago, on Oct. 2, Miami Trace traveled to Herrnstein Field and handed Chillicothe its first loss of the season. The Panthers did so emphatically, too, piling up 404 yards of offense behind a 32-carry, 240-yard performance from senior Julian Baker in a 28-14 victory. On Friday, Nov. 6, the Cavaliers will try and right that wrong. The two will meet for a second time this season in a Division III, Region 12 quarterfinal. “We just have to do these little things right, especially defensively,” Chillicothe coach TJ Carper said. “We have to tackle our assignments, make sure that we keep the ball in front of us, and play with relentless effort. If you look back at that game, the last time we played, it was the little details. We have to maintain high discipline, rally to the ball and do the little things right.” Baker has been otherworldly this fall, rushing 177 times for 2,338 yards and 37 touchdowns. He’s also made 82 tackles on the defensive end while leading the Panthers to the outright Frontier Athletic Conference championship.

Ohio school district suspends non-varsity sports after tax levy fails

Getting out to vote matters. That's a lesson an Ohio school district is learning in the wake of the 2026 midterm elections. According to the Columbus Dispatch — part of the USA TODAY Network — Pickerington Local Schools is suspending all non-varsity athletics and other extracurriculars. This comes after a 0.75% income tax levy proposal in Fairfield and Franklin counties failed, according to unofficial election results. The vote failed by just around 250 votes, which is less than 1% of all the votes cast. Superintendent Charles Smialek told parents in a letter that all athletic teams below the varsity level and other extracurricular activities have been suspended, effective on Wednesday, Nov. 4, while other activities — including musicals and theater — will continue through Dec. 31. Smialek told The Dispatch that "the district needed to protect academics in the classroom, and hard decisions needed to be made," and the move would be a "short-term proposition." According to The Dispatch, the district faces a $21 million deficit, based on the figures presented to the board. "We understand the value of extracurriculars, we understand the experiences they create. It's difficult," Smialek told The Dispatch. "These are among the harder decisions most of

Heath passing game heated up in Week 11 rally

HEATH - The Heath football team needed contributions from its entire lineup to rally in Week 11, and that was nowhere more apparent than in its receiving corps. Five players caught at least two passes as the Bulldogs rallied from a 15-0 halftime deficit to beat host Fairfield Union 22-21 in a Division IV, Region 15 first-round game. With the Falcons keying on star tailback Tristyn Jones, the Bulldogs went to the air to advance. “This gives us a lot (of confidence),” junior quarterback Ethan Grise said. “At halftime, we talked about putting something together. We knew we couldn’t come out flat, or else this game would end like the end of the first half. We knew we had to string something together, and we trust our guys.” No. 10 Heath (8-3) plays No. 2 New Lexington (9-1) at 7 p.m. Nov. 6. The Panthers, who were regional finalists last season, started 9-0 before losing to rival Sheridan 43-36 in their regular-season finale. The best part of Grise’s targets is the variety of skill sets. Freshman Kylen Watson, who has emerged as a big-play threat since being inserted into the varsity lineup at midseason, took a screen pass 20 yards

Game of the Week Preview: Garaway @ Nelsonville-York

NELSONVILLE — Nelsonville-York’s regular-season finale didn’t go the way any of the Buckeyes wanted. Their 14-13 defeat to Athens not only broke their 24-game regular-season win streak, but also denied Nelsonville-York a Tri-Valley Conference-Ohio three-peat. That’s no doubt left a bitter taste in the Buckeyes’ mouths, and their bye last week has only let that sour taste linger. But sometimes, losses can be more beneficial than anyone realizes. After a long win streak, a loss can shock the system and create an opportunity to refocus and reenergize ahead of a playoff run. That’s likely what head coach Rusty Richards is counting on this week, as his No. 2-seeded Buckeyes welcome No. 7-seed Garaway for their playoff opener in the Division VI, Region 23 quarterfinals. The Buckeyes (9-1, 5-1 TVC-Ohio) dropped a seed line after that defeat to Athens, earning a tougher matchup against an underseeded opponent in the Pirates (8-3, 3-2 Inter-Valley South) for a playoff edition of the Messenger Game of the Week. Garaway convincingly won its opening round matchup last Friday, thrashing Elgin 42-0 to earn a trip to Boston Field this week. The win followed three close games for the Pirates to close the regular season and
