The Marshall Beech Tree, an American beech that stood near Old Main, was already mature when Marshall Academy welcomed its first students in 1837. Over the years, students and faculty gathered beneath its branches, making it a familiar part of campus life.

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

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.
