Eastwood, Lake volleyball teams sweep way to district final appearances
Two of the Northern Buckeye Conference’s best volleyball programs advanced to OHSAA Division IV district final appearances, as Eastwood downed Otsego in straight sets, and Lake swept Bryan at Perrysburg High School on Tuesday. The Eagles (16-7) opened play against the NBC foe Knights (12-12), commanding the contest from start to finish behind 15 kills from senior Mack Miller, and an all-around dominant effort. Eastwood only trailed twice on its way to the win (25-14, 25-12, 25-13). Both times came early in the second set. “Our gameplan was to run our middles to make sure they weren’t committing to just our pin hitters, and our goal was to serve really aggressively,” Eastwood coach Sarah Frank said. “Otsego is a solid team, a high-energy team, and so we knew we had to execute offensively and score in every way we could from offense to serving too.” In service, Miller led the Eagles with four aces. The team finished with eight as a whole. Miller also had a team-leading 15 digs. Sophomore Olivia Riter contributed 41 assists, as Jaedyn Richards (eight kills), Vanessa Evans (seven kills), and Maya Schmeltz (seven kills) added to the attacking effort.

Elgin makes history in its victory over Hardin Northern
MARION — The last time Elgin football won a league championship in football, the guy wearing the head set as the head coach was wearing pads as a player. In 2005, the Comets won the Mid Ohio Athletic Conference Red Division championship and finished the season 9-2. Twenty-one years later, the program won its first ever Northwest Central Conference football title after joining the league in 2017. Elgin defeated Hardin Northern 41-13 Oct. 23 in the final week of the regular season. "I was on the last conference championship team as a player," Elgin coach Zack Winslow said. "It means something to me to be the guy in charge of this program to win the next one. I think we’ve had chances before and not been able to get it. We’ve been runner-up multiple times." But this is the squad that ended up breaking through, going 8-2 overall and 7-1 in the conference. Elgin will share the NWCC title with North Baltimore, a 50-42 winner over Upper Scioto Valley in Week 10. Waynesfield-Goshen, which also could have won a piece of the title, was upset by Ridgemont 53-21 on Friday. The win also solidified Elgin in the Division VI Region
