Evergreen’s Chamberlin breaks Ohio home run record in final at-bat
METAMORA, Ohio — In the final game of her superb four-year softball career at Evergreen High School, Vikings senior catcher Macy Chamberlin tied and then broke Ohio's all-time record for home runs on Thursday, hitting her 60th and 61st career homers in her team's 6-2 victory over visiting Port Clinton. “I couldn't have done it without my team,” Chamberlin said. “They have supported me throughout this whole year, through ups and downs, and through the pressure. Without this team, it wouldn't have been possible. “The only pressure I got was the pressure I gave myself. After games here and there, I would give myself pressure, but would come back the next day relaxed and ready to go.” Chamberlin, who was named first team All-Ohio the past two seasons, equaled the mark set by Hope Straight of Mount Vernon High School (from 2016-19) with a solo blast to right-center in the first inning against off of Redskins pitcher Ashton Sanchez.

With the victory, the Generals clinched the outright NLL Buckeye Division championship with two league games remaining. “To be able to come back from being behind and put up 10 on the eighth-ranked team in the state, that’s a statement coming back and putting that kind of offense on,” Anthony Wayne coach Ron Myers said. “Earlier in the day, we probably played some of the worst defense that we have all season. The players really came back though in that seventh inning and just were going after things at that point in time.”

High school notebook: McCoy takes Maumee Valley post
Former Northview and Bowling Green State University basketball player Niki McCoy has been hired as the next girls basketball coach at Maumee Valley Country Day School. McCoy's first task is to restore the Hawks' varsity program which, along with fellow Toledo Area Athletic Conference member Emmanuel Christian, was unable to field a varsity squad for the 2023-24 season. “I am excited for the opportunity to build a program that prioritizes player mental health, and a winning mindset while setting and holding high expectations,” McCoy said in a media announcement released by the school. “I believe Maumee Valley is a perfect place to set a standard of success at the very beginning of this rebuilding process, both on and off the court.” While playing for Ohio hall-of-fame coach Jerry Sigler at Northview, McCoy helped the Wildcats reach back-to-back Division I state semifinal appearances in 2004 and 2005. She moved on to play in the Mid-American Conference at Akron University for two seasons before transferring to BGSU to finish her career.
