Special teams loomed large in Sheridan football's playoff loss

COLUMBUS — A script-like night for football was "special" for Michael Thompson-Ayers and the rest of the East Tiger return men. Quite literally, it was their performance on special teams in their Division III, Region 11 quarterfinal matchup with visiting Sheridan that made this night memorable. Thompson-Ayers' 65-yard kickoff return for a touchdown was East's second long return of the half — Dominique Edwards had a 55-yarder on the opening kickoff — that impacted the game so much that visiting Sheridan didn't even kick their way until the final minute of the second half. It was the key factor in the third-seeded Tigers' 42-28 win before a festive crowd on Nov. 6 at Harley Field. East, which lost in the Division IV quarterfinals in 2025, advanced to face unbeaten Licking Valley at 7 p.m. on Nov. 13 at Randy Baughman Stadium.

WESTERVILLE — A year after making its first appearance in the state tournament and finishing as state runner-up, the Bloom-Carroll volleyball team is back in the final four.

CHILLICOTHE— After months of construction work, the Yoctangee Park improvements are officially over. City officials and parkgoers gathered to celebrate this occasion as the armory, amphitheater, baseball diamonds, and multi-purpose building officially opened for use. Previously, the city also celebrated the opening of the new skate park , new pickleball courts and the refurbished tennis courts. “These improvements represent an incredible investment in our community and the future of Chillicothe,” said Chillicothe Mayor Luke Feeney. “Yoctangee Park has always been a place where our community comes together, and this project creates even more opportunities for families to gather, enjoy recreational activities, and take part in events throughout the year. We are incredibly proud of what has been accomplished and excited to welcome everyone to experience all that these new spaces have to offer.” The $35 million project was funded largely by the Appalachian Community Grant Program.

Ohio Women’s Basketball outlasts Otterbein in Education Day Game

ATHENS, Ohio (WOUB) — Ohio Women’s Basketball kicked off their week with the annual Rufus Field Trip Game against the Division III Otterbein Cardinals. Ohio hosted over a dozen elementary and middle schools across Southeast Ohio and beyond with free admission as part of greater Education Day activities. After a slow start, Ohio pulled through to take the contest 68-44. The game offensively started out slow, with only three combined field goals being converted in the first three and a half minutes. Despite forcing turnovers, the Bobcats couldn’t make the threes they were hunting early in the first quarter. Otterbein capitalized early, giving Ohio a scare. A Kennedie Hill triple saw the Cardinals equalize at 9 before an Ann Waskiewicz fastbreak layup saw Otterbein take their first lead to end the first quarter.

Unopposed, unfiltered, and undefeated: Ross County voters argue with Jeff Lehner online — then vote for him

CHILLICOTHE, Ohio — Jeff Lehner had no opponent in Tuesday’s election. He still won it by more than anyone else on the Ross County ballot. The Republican county auditor collected 18,830 votes, or 75.8% of the 24,858 ballots cast, according to unofficial results from the Ross County Board of Elections. That was more than fellow unopposed Republican David Pinkerton drew for county commissioner (18,665) and more than Jeffrey Marks, the county prosecutor elected probate and juvenile judge without a party label (18,600) — even though the auditor’s line sat below both on the ballot, where voters typically drop off.
