Red zone struggles doom Fisher Catholic in playoff loss

LANCASTER — Fisher Catholic’s Division VII postseason run was short-lived as the No. 8-seed Irish were shut out 27-0 by the No. 9-seed Steubenville Catholic Central Crusaders in the first round of the Region 27 playoffs on Friday, Oct. 30, at Fulton Field. “It’s always hard to end,” Fisher Catholic coach Luke Thimmes said after the game. “There are only seven teams that end their season with a win (now). Of course, you never want to, but you look back at practices and games and think, the best part was from all the way back in June to now: five to six days a week for a few hours a day, the players and coaches are together. And now all of a sudden, the finality really hard part, hits and it’s done. That’s the really hard part.” The Irish (7-4) put together a solid effort on defense for roughly three-and-a-half quarters and trailed only 13-0 when the fourth quarter began. Offensively, though, they struggled with execution and consistency, which ultimately led to the game getting out of reach late in the fourth quarter.

Adena rallies past Westfall to win program's 40th district crown

WAVERLY — Before the start of the fifth set in a Division V district championship match on Saturday, Oct. 31, Adena coach Laura Smith pulled senior libero Kimmy Dalton aside and delivered a message. “I talked to Kimmy and told her that she had to be a leader out there,” Smith said. “I told her that the other girls were looking at her.” Dalton, who has earned Scioto Valley Conference and Division V District 14 Player of the Year honors this fall, took Smith’s words to heart. She spearheaded a stingy defensive effort while rallying her teammates in the decisive fifth set, pacing her Warriors (15-10) to a thrilling 15-25, 25-23, 22-25, 25-17, 15-12 victory over Westfall. The victory marked the program’s 40th district championship. “We’ve been able to get the kids to work hard and believe in what we’re doing,” Smith said. “It’s important to be skilled, but you also have to be a team. You have to learn to love each other. You don’t have to like each other. But you do have to love each other. I think we work hard on getting kids closer, so that they’ll want to work for each other. That’s been a
