Waverly tabs familiar face to lead girls basketball program

WAVERLY — When Waverly’s girls basketball program officially begins its season, it’ll be doing so with a new head coach for the first time in 18 years. However, the Tigers won't have to look far for familiarity. Mark Hannah has been tabbed to replace John Bonifield as the Tigers’ leader. Hannah has spent the last eight seasons as an assistant coach under Bonifield. Before that time, he helped with both Waverly and Piketon’s boys hoops programs. And, in the offseason, he runs the Arctic Rush AAU program. RELATED: Introducing 10 girls basketball players around Chillicothe to keep an eye on this winter Needless to say, he fits into his new position like a glove. “I’ve been around these girls since they were just starting basketball in the third grade. I see them every day in the building. With that, the familiarity is there,” Hannah said. “They know my personality, they know how I communicate, they know how I want to play, and most importantly, they know that I trust and believe in them. If you can build that relationship with your players, and they know you genuinely care, I believe they’ll run through a brick wall for you.” In his

What to watch during New Lex football's playoff game vs. West Holmes

As one coach told me recently, "this is when the playoffs really start." The regional semifinals most always separate the great from the good. This is the equivalent of the Sweet 16 in the other sports, who all make the postseason. With that in mind, New Lexington football (10-1) gets a stiff test tonight when battle-tested Millersburg West Holmes (9-2) makes the trek to Jim Rockwell Stadium for their Division IV, Region 15 clash. The winner gets the survivor of top-seeded Gnadenhutten Indian Valley (11-0) and fifth-seeded Uhrichsville Claymont (11-1) for a state berth. Here are three things to watch: More: Here are the regional semifinal pairings for Ohio high school football More: New Lex football's seniors are a 'special' blend of personalities More: Sheridan football didn't let setbacks ruin its season. What's next? The offenses These are two impressive offensive teams, particularly in the passing game. The Panthers average 406 yards per game in considerably balanced fashion — they have run for 217 yards per game and passed for 189. Senior Lane Ratliff has passed for 1,942 yards and ran for 661 while accounting for 34 total touchdowns; junior Colton Mathias has amassed 1,237 yards and 11 scores. Big-play

New Lex football's seniors are a 'special' blend of personalities

NEW LEXINGTON — The seniors on New Lexington's football team are unique, diverse and highly unified. They grew up learning the game as little guys, enjoying success at every level before making their biggest marks in high school. They've been part of 32 wins and played in seven playoff games the past three seasons, winning a pair of Muskingum Valley League-Small School titles in the process. They'll play in an eighth on Nov. 13 when Millersburg West Holmes makes the near-two-hour trip to Jim Rockwell Stadium for a Division IV, Region 15 semifinal. And there is no question it will be an all-for-one, one-for-all operation as it eyes another Elite Eight appearance. Tyson Spicer wouldn't have it any other way. "It's really crazy, just thinking that it's almost over with these guys," Spicer, the team’s leading receiver, said after a recent practice. "We've literally played since the first grade. My dad (Ryan Spicer) was the head coach. We learned the no-huddle offense in first grade.” Movin' on: New Lex survives defensive showdown to shut down Heath More: Sheridan football comeback stuns unbeaten New Lex, Week 10 roundup All-Everything: Carter Smith 'isn't normal.'
