Carter Smith 'isn't normal.' Here's why that's a good thing for West M
FALLS TOWNSHIP — Carter Smith has worn more hats than Gene Autry in his time at West Muskingum, but the Tornadoes’ versatile senior wouldn’t change his path. Whether it’s football, basketball or track and field, the 6-foot-3, 200-pounder with well-rounded athletic talents epitomizes the term “all-purpose.” On the court, he is a big man in a guard's body, with enough strength and leaping ability to play inside, but also with enough skill to hold his own on the wing against guards. In track, he's among the Muskingum Valley League's best in the 200 and 400, where he has broken 50 seconds, and an All-Ohioan in the high jump — the first at West M in decades. But his versatility is especially prevalent on the football field, where he is among the best the league has to offer as a linebacker, return man and punter for coach Nathan Brownrigg. He can even play tailback if the situation demands. As the 8-2 Tornadoes embark on another playoff berth, Smith's days on The Hill are numbered as the sun sets on his final season on Kimes Road. The Tornadoes beat Meadowbrook in Week 10 to clinch a home game in the Division IV,

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.

"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."
