Crestwood, Garfield runners take over podium at OHSAA state cross country

OBETZ — Madie Grace Gonczy and Piper Seibold crossed the finish line together one more time. Of course they did. Running side by side for a good chunk of their careers, the Crestwood seniors did it one last time in their final high school cross country race, finishing less than a second apart in the Division III state championship race. "Honestly, it was a goal going into this to finish together because it is our last race together, so we just wanted to push each other as best we could," said Seibold, who finished 21st in 18:58.2. "We were talking about it before the race, like, just stay with each other because we wanted to finish together because we're never going to get this opportunity again." Both made major jumps, with Seibold surging a minute from last year's state time (19:58.44) and Gonczy improving more than 40 seconds (from 19:43.89 to 18:57.6) to finish 20th. It was a fitting close to Gonczy's healthiest season yet. "I try to work on my nutrition, make sure I was fueling properly before and after practice, before races and then also just with my injuries, making sure I'm stretching before practice, after practice, before

Dalton tops Hillsdale in five-set regional championship thriller

BARBERTON - Dalton coach Amanda Clear didn't have to say much to her team after taking an early timeout in the third set. Pitted against Wayne County Athletic League rival Hillsdale in a Division VI regional championship on Saturday, Nov. 7 at Barberton High School, the Bulldogs found themselves in a 9-0 hole after the Falcons evened the match taking the second set. "They needed to make a choice," Clear said. "We’re fighting to go to the state championship, I don’t feel like we needed much more motivation than that. "On the court after that timeout, they were like — this is what we’re going to do. Yeah, it was a timeout, but it was also them taking initiative and them taking responsibility and saying — we’re going to change this." STATE XC: Lexington's amazing journey leads to Division II state runner-up finish Just when it seemed like Hillsdale had the momentum, Dalton settled in and proceeded to go on a 25-11 run to steal away the third and take a 2-1 lead in the match. And despite dropping the fourth, the Bulldogs remained composed and won the match in the fifth — 25-25, 22-25, 25-20, 22-25, 15-12 — for

Chippewa's defensive activity swarms Hiland, heading to third straight state final

NAVARRE − Playing against Chippewa soccer has been a daunting task for a great deal of their opponents this season, let alone the past three seasons. Some coaches will point to different reasons why the school from Doylestown is so difficult to overcome. If there's one answer, it's simply that the Chipps just don't let teams score. Chippewa's overall defensive activity was at the forefront of the Chipps 3-0 victory over Hiland in the all-Wayne/Holmes County Division V state semifinal matchup in Navarre at Fred Brideweser Stadium on Tuesday, Nov. 10. More: Chippewa earns 19th clean sheet of season, blanks Kirtland for third straight regional title It was the 20th shutout of the season for Chippewa (21-0-1) and they did it by swarming Hiland – playing in the school's first state semifinal appearance − as the Chipps forwards and midfielders won the ball high up the pitch in both ground and aerial duels, along with their backline making sure nothing gets in behind. Hiland (13-7-3) didn't register a shot on goal until about the last 10-15 minutes. "It's definitely really rewarding knowing we've only allowed five goals this year," said Chippewa sophomore fullback/midfielder Lea Ferrell. "I think it just all
