Chippewa come close, falls to Ottawa Hills in OHSAA Division V state finals
COLUMBUS — In the post match press conference after its OHSAA Division V state championship defeat on Friday, Nov. 13, at ScottsMiracle-Gro Field in Columbus, Chippewa head coach Ruth Coney sat next to her three senior players — forward Delaney Marshall and center backs Paityn Welty and Myra Lewis. Before she was able to speak, the emotion on her face was noticeable and it was tough for her to get the words out. "It's a hard thing to talk about when you just lost a state championship game," Coney said. No arguments there. Chasing that elusive first girls soccer state championship in school history, Chippewa (21-1-1) suffered its first loss of the season 2-1 to Toledo Ottawa Hills (18-3-2) in what became an ambitious second half of play from both teams.

Walsh tops Hoban; Highland advances
GREATER AKRON — Week two of the high school football playoffs are in the books with only two area teams advancing to semifinal games. The second meeting between Walsh Jesuit and Hoban was a little different compared to the first when Hoban beat Walsh 30-0 during the regular season. Out for revenge, Walsh Jesuit knocked Hoban out of the playoffs for the second year in a row. Walsh’s Kinzy Shea was 8-of-11 passing for 111 yards in the game, and Cam Brunson had five catches for 82 yards. Oliver Nonno also made field goals of 44 and 28 yards. It was Walsh’s defense that capitalized as Nathan Allen, Ben Biel, Xavier Steele and Drew Wollschleger all intercepted passes from Hoban quarterback Major Cribbs, who finished 10-of-26 passing for 130 yards and a touchdown. Hoban finishes the season 4-7, and Walsh Jesuit advances to play Nordonia at home in the Division II Region 5 semifinal game.
