Newark man traded factory work for teaching teens | Aces of Trades
NEWARK - It’s rewarding for him to see students learn a new trade. “Growing up I played football and basketball,” Matt Hummel said. “I liked hunting and fishing, riding dirt bikes and four-wheelers, and hanging out with friends. I had never imagined myself working as a teacher. I wouldn’t have believed it if someone had told me that growing up.” Today, Hummel teaches engineering and advanced manufacturing at CTEC, Career and Technology Education Centers of Licking County . Before working at CTEC, Hummel was in the U.S. Army Air Defense and worked at Holophane. “I’ve always liked figuring out how things worked, building or repairing anything I could, and working with my hands," he said. "When I started working at Holophane, I got to be part of the glass manufacturing process. When I was able to move over to the mold shop and went through my mold and diemaker apprenticeship program, I was able to learn manual and CNC machining, CAD/CAM, metallurgy, and other skills that led into the class I teach at CTEC.” Hummel, 35, grew up near Hanover and graduated from Licking Valley High School in 2010. He started teaching at CTEC in August 2023. “Honestly, I’m not

Snakebit seniors inspired Northridge football teammates
JOHNSTOWN - Far too many seniors spent their final game in jeans rather than pads for the Northridge football team, but the remaining Vikings wanted to show their appreciation for a class that was constantly bitten by the injury bug. “I just want to make sure that they leave on a good note and they know they made an impact on this program and they are going to be the start of the major change of this program coming up,” said Bridon Angus recently, Northridge’s sophomore quarterback. “The biggest experience is you just have to do what coach says and whatever he wants to do. You never know when your time is going to stop.” Northridge (3-7, 1-4) fell 65-0 to rival Johnstown to conclude Licking County League-Cardinal Division play. The Vikings twice moved to .500 at 2-2 and 3-3 during the course of the season, but injuries became too much to overcome. Senior Jayce Golden ran for 746 yards and 11 TDs and added 240 yards receiving and an additional three TDs despite missing two late-season games. Two-way senior starters Colton Isler and Wyatt Boston in the secondary and at receiver only played a handful of games between them,

Philo tops Maysville, shares MVL title as Lincicome ties record
NEWTON TOWNSHIP — A strong running game and a stout defense — trademarks of Dirk Lincicome's tenure at Philo. Both elements played vital roles in Friday's 27-13 win over Maysville, as the Electrics' head coach tied the legendary Sam Hatfield with 106 career wins on the Philo sidelines. The Electrics earned a share of the Muskingum Valley League Big School Division title with Sheridan and Tri-Valley, as all three finished 4-1. Lincicome will also have a chance to break the record in Week 11, as playoff pairings are announced on Sunday. "Sam Hatfield is a legend and a man who I respect beyond words," Lincicome said. "This is something I never dreamed of. There's no comparison between me and him, including his years of service where he coached three teams and served as AD (athletic director) at the same time. "I'm just fortunate to be here and lucky enough to have a lot of good players and coaches on my side. I'm just carrying the torch for the next coach."

Late score lifts Newark football past rival Lancaster
NEWARK - Kolton Peterson was not playing possum as he gingerly made his way back to the Newark football team’s huddle after each play. The hits from an intense rivalry game at the end of a long season were taking their toll. Peterson, however, carried the Wildcats into the end zone one more time. Newark’s star senior running back, scored on a 2-yard run with 1:03 left in the game, bumping the Wildcats to a 29-22 victory against visiting Lancaster at White Field to conclude Ohio Capital Conference-Buckeye Division play. Peterson, in reaching the end zone for the 35th time in his career, became the program’s all-time leading scorer after previously becoming the all-time leading rusher earlier in the season. “He pushed that in. The offensive line just stepped up, and Kolton busted through,” Newark coach Bill Franks said. Newark (4-6, 2-5) took a 14-0 lead in the second quarter, but Lancaster (2-8, 2-5) came charging back with 15 consecutive points. The Wildcats answered to take a 22-15 lead only to see the Golden Gales tie it again. It appeared the Gales would get the last crack at breaking the tie, but a punt hit the foot of a blocker
