cuting attorney approached Judge DeMuth about dissolving the park district
board due to several years of inactivity
and the expense of bonding.
At that time the judge took the matter under advisement and allowed the
public a period of time to weigh in on
the subject in writing.
On Dec. 23, 2014, Judge DeMuth
gave the board at least 10 months to
re-energize the park district. That time
frame began with the March 1 term

Suspected heroin found in home

Kevin Haver, director-secretary of the Johnny Appleseed Metropolitan Park District headquartered in Lima, is excited by possibilities for park development in Paulding County. He currently
oversees 12 park areas encompassing more than 1,200 acres.
Haver takes love of nature

to the surrounding area
By JIM LANGHAM
Feature Writer
LIMA Kevin Haver still remembers June
28, 1972 as though it was yesterday. Thats
the day he founded the dream of introducing
his love of nature to the Lima community and
surrounding area: the Johnny Appleseed Metropolitan Park District in Allen County, Ohio,
We founded the park district without land,
staff or any money to back us up, said Haver.
Forty-three years later, Haver is still head of
the growing district, but things have changed.
These days the park district has 12 park areas
with over 1,200 acres. Activities and facilities
include hiking, picnicking, environmental education, camping, swimming, fishing, boating,
biking and many other activities.
Haver recently visited Paulding County
during a hearing in probate court to determine
the continuation of the Paulding County Park
District. After the hearing, he was given a tour
of possible park sites in the local county.
I was really excited when I saw many of
the resources you people have to work with
in Paulding County, said Haver. There are
all kinds of areas, especially along the rivers,
where there is major potential for development.
Haver was one of those who submitted a
written request to the judge asking for the
park district to continue, citing not only the
number of areas, but the exceptional quality
and unique potential for park development in
Paulding County. (See related story above.)
Haver says he would welcome dialogue
from Paulding county residents interested in
expanding and developing a successful park
district.
The Johnny Appleseed park district was
founded according to Chapter 1545 of the
Ohio Revised Code and is a separate political

subdivision of the State of Ohio.
This is all about families enjoying each
other and quality of life of everyone who gets
involved, said Haver, who is the groups director-secretary.
This is all designed to enhance the quality
of life of the citizens of Allen County by providing passive outdoor recreational and educational opportunities while conserving and
protecting the natural resources of the area for
future generations.
Parks in the district include Agerter Road
River Access, Allen County Farm Park, Deep
Cut Historical Park, Hermon Woods Metro
Park, Kendrick Woods Lippincott Bird Sanctuary, McLean Teddy Bear Park, Motter Metro
Park, Ottawa Metro Park, Rotary Riverwalk
and Veterans Freedom Flag Monument.
Haver said he never ceases to be amazed
how donors step up to the plate and assist with
funding and sponsoring aspects of the park district. He cited Hermon Woodlands Metro Park
as an example of such an experience.
Carole Hermon called me from southern
California and informed me she was leaving
$604,000 to purchase and develop a new park
in honor of her parents, observed Haver. We
used part of it for a local match to obtain a
state grant. This leveraged the money for a
$400,000 state grant. With that we purchased
70 acres of woodlands which is in the process
right now of site work.
Haver said that site work includes driveways, utilities, parking lots and two enclosed
shelter houses, absolute vitals for a good park.
Other important aspects include restroom,
complete trail system and childrens nature

OAKWOOD Three women and one man were taken into

custody last week after authorities searched an Oakwood residence for drugs.
Arrested were Benjamin D.
Smith, age 30; Holly McVeyFlores, age 37; Heather Ladd,
age 28; and Sheri Kraegel, age
28.
On Feb. 23, a search warrant
for narcotics was executed at
113 E. Harmon St. in the Village of Oakwood, according to
Sheriff Jason Landers. Investigators with the West Central
Ohio Crime Task Force seized
suspected heroin and paraphernalia.
At the time of the search
warrant, investigators located four adult residents and six
children ranging from 1-16
years of age. The adults were
taken into custody and Job &
Family Services were on scene
to care for the children.
All reportedly reside at the
Harmon Street address.
Initial charges filed against
the four are:
Smith, Ladd and McVeyFlores possession of drug
abuse instruments and endangering children. Smith was
also charged with possession
of drugs.
Kraegel was transported
to Defiance County to be held
on an outstanding Municipal
Court warrant.
Additional charges are pending the county prosecuting attorneys review of the case file.
Smith, Ladd and McVeyFlores were arraigned Feb. 26
in Paulding County Court. All
are being held on $100,000
bond with no 10 percent privilege. Each has a preliminary
hearing set for March 5. The
trio is to have no contact with
one another.
It aggravates me beyond
words when adults are so selfish and careless they choose
to leave drugs and paraphernalia accessible to innocent
children, said Landers. The
Village of Oakwood is a safer
community today with these
people off the streets.
Assisting with the investigation were the Ohio State High-

National Honor Society (NHS)
is holding its annual Glow-inthe-Dark 5K on Saturday, April
11 at the Payne ball park across
from the Payne Elementary
School. Any money raised this
year will go toward the medical treatment for Chase Holt, a
Payne Elementary student.
Chase was diagnosed with
a rare genetic disorder called
Neurofibromatosis Type 2
(NF2). He has undergone several surgeries to remove tumors
but still suffers from many side
effects of NF2. The medication
that has shown success for other disorders is only considered
Haver.
Haver noted that distribution of funding is determined
through a special meeting of
the subdivisions and their own
decision as to how to distribute funds.
We like to acquire lands,
within or without the district,
with unique characteristics in
forestry, ground cover, water,
terrain, wildlife or historic significance, said Haver.
We are constantly searching for and maintaining an inventory of the natural areas,
Haver said. We are all for
promoting the study of plants
and animals with reference to
their environment and to the
factors that control or have
controlled their distribution.
experimental for Chase; therefore, the insurance company

will not cover the medication
at this time. The Holts hope to
raise $40,000 for Chases care
and already have raised $21,783
towards their goal.
The Wayne Trace NHS would
like to help close that gap in
needed funds and encourage all
who can attend the 5K to come
out and show their support for
Chase and his family.

Eichers anticipate spring training for

pony, homemade butter and cheese
This column will wrap up

my columns for February
2015. This year is going way
too fast for me to keep up. I remember Mother telling me that
the older your children get, the
faster time goes. I see that is
very true!
I often would be glad to
have one more conversation
with Mother. God had other
plans, and I need to accept His
will. Mother always had good
advice. Especially when the
children were sick, she would
come over and take care of everybody. MemoriesIll treasure them always!
We are all well again here
at the Eichers. So many blessings to thank God for! Susan is
still under a doctors care but is
back to work. The chiropractor
says she has pinched nerves in
her neck. Susan is active and
always full of energy. She is
looking forward to training
Prancer, our miniature pony, as
the weather warms up. Prancer
will be two years old in April.
Benjamin is also glad to be going back to work.
Tonight we are getting a
milk cow. This has been all
the boys have been talking
about. We sold our cow when
we lived in Indiana. Since our
move to Michigan almost 11
years ago, we have not had a
milking cow. We go through so
many gallons of milk in a week
so the milk will be good to
have. I would also like to make
our own butter. Another thing I
would like to try that Ive never
done is making cheese. If any
of you readers have a good recipe for cheese, I would be happy to have it.
Sunday our family, Timothy,
and Mose attended the baptismal services in Nappanee, Ind.,
for niece Salome. Her special
friend, Myron, was also baptized with her. What a blessing
to the family and church!
We were all able to meet
Henry and Lorettas sweet little Damaris. The girls and I had
fun holding her during church
services. She was really smiling. Shes just a tiny bundle
of joy, but her smile lit up the
whole room.
Niece Verena and Melvins
little Micah is already 11
months old. He is growing fast
too. Hes a sweetie! Joes sister
Christine, husband Jake, and
nine children from Hershey,
Mich., were also there. It was
good to see Melvin and Verena
and Jake again.
We also met Myrons family. Everyone was friendly. We
appreciated the hospitality. Its
always nice to visit church districts in other communities and

seeking support
Dear Editor,
Some residents of Paulding County will be receiving
a letter in the mail signed by
me very soon. This request is
from the Buckeye State Sheriffs Association (BSSA) in
attempt to seek new associate
members. I am a proud member of this association.
I feel it is imperative to
communicate with our citizens and let you all know
this is not a scam. The BSSA
will only request for membership using this system,
and only with my approval.
The Association does not
contact prospective members
by telephone.
In November 2014, I was
voted to serve as a NW District sheriff director for the
BSSA by the other 21 sheriffs within the district. I also
sit on the Legislative, Civil
Process, Carry Concealed
Weapons, Education &
Training, Image Enhancing
and Newly Elected Sheriffs
Committees for the association. I feel by committing
myself to these assignments,
I can better serve you by
having a working knowledge
of what is coming out of Columbus through our association.
The funds collected by

HAVILAND Wayne Trace

will have two kindergarten
age programs for the 2015-16
school year. These options include a Young 5s (transitional
kindergarten) depending upon
numbers, and a regular traditional kindergarten.
Students enrolled in traditional kindergarten will need
to be 5 years of age before
Aug. 1, 2015. Students enrolled in the Young 5s (transitional kindergarten) must be 5
years of age on or before Sept.
30, 2015.
Both programs are all-day,
every-day programs that provide students with a kindergarten curriculum based on
the Ohio Department of Education content standards. After each childs kindergarten
screening, a team of academic
professionals will meet and
gather their findings.
A recommendation will
then be made to parents regarding a placement for their
child.
It is important to note that
the creation of the Young 5s
(transitional
kindergarten)
classroom will be contingent
upon a minimum enrollment

as determined by Wayne Trace
administration.
All students interested in
enrolling in either program
are required to participate in
the kindergarten screening
process.
Screenings will take place
at WT/Payne Elementary on
April 20 and 21. Screenings
will take place at WT/Grover
Hill on April 22 and 23.
To register a child for kindergarten, parents need to call

their elementary. The WTPE

COMMUNITY
Ohio 4-H, FFA members can win pair of ewes
The Ohio Corriedale Club is encouraging youths who are beginning a sheep

pair of Corriedale ewes to a 4-H or FFA
member that is interested in starting their
own flock. The family of the recipient may
not currently raise Corriedale sheep. The

Corriedale Club will provide two ewes for
the member, registered in the members
name, before May 1.
The club will also assist the member in
management decisions and answer questions regarding the project throughout the
year. The ewes will become a part of the
members 4-H or FFA project and will
be exhibited at the Ohio State Fair Junior
Corriedale Show and the recipients county fair.
Birthdays
Any 4-H or FFA members interested in

applying for the ewes should submit an
application form along with a short essay
about their experience before April 1. The

receive the ewes and contact the recipient
before April 15.

Decisions or divine intervention

Every day, we literally make
tens of thousands big and small
decisions, consciously or unconsciously. From priorities we
set at work, to stories we tell,
from which shirt to wear, to
what we have for dinner. Now
these are not big decisions, they
are simple choices we make
such as: What do I want for
breakfast? Do I want tea or coffee? Do I even want breakfast?
Then we decide, Do I want
to take a bath or shower? Should
I pack my lunch? Should I eat
out? Oh my! What should I
wear today? How should I do
my hair? Shall I wear a jacket
or a sweater?
These every day choices we
make may only effect us, but
sometimes even these choices
can alter your life or someone
elses. For instance here is a
scenario of what happened to a
man when he was preparing for
work.
The story goes: Its a sunny
day in Midland, Texas, in 1954.
Its 8 a.m. andthe man is about
to leave for work. He walks out
of his home, closes the door behind himself and walks towards
his car. While he opensthe car
door, he notices he is not wearing his watch. He thinks for a
couple of seconds and decides
to goback in the house and retrieve it from the kitchen table.
At 8:01 a.m. he walks out again
to his car, heading for another
day at work. A mere 30 seconds
later, he hits a youngboy crossing the street, because he failed
to notice the child. The child is
dead.
Now, look atthe other picture.This is the samescenario,
but a different outcome.Instead
of making the decision to go
back in and get his watch, the
man decides that he didntreal-

Your Thoughts
By
Nancy Whitaker
ly need a watch that day,drove
away and headed for another
day at work. Approximately
30 seconds later, he looks in
his rear-view mirror and sees a
young child crossing the street.
The man goes on without his
watchand the child goes on
his way to school. The child is
alive.
Lets assume the second scenario actually happened. The
child would grow up, andas
ayoung man get married
(which would not have happened had he been killed in a
car accident) a girl he met at a
barbecue (where he would not
have been had he been killed in
a car accident). Had he actually been killed in a car accident,
it is likely that the girl would
havemarried someone else.
Now that samecouplehad
two daughters, twins, which
would not have been born in
the first scenario; the young
man went into politics and had
quite an impact on his country
and the world, which would not
have happened had he died as a
child....
Small decisions (or the lack
thereof) have the potential to
change the course of your life

and the lives of others, and potentially the entire world. This
doesnt mean we have to ponder each decision we make each
day. That would setus nuts.But
it doesnt hurt to think through
this concept and become more
aware of the processes that lead
todifferent outcomes.
I have read and heard about
how agut feelingnot to take a
certain flight or travel at a certain time has resulted in what I
like to call divine intervention.
In a lot of these cases the airplane crashed or there was a
pileup on the highway. Again
decisions have the power to impact.
When looking at it from a different perspective, doing something small for another person
can have a great positive impact
on ones life. Recently while
playing musicat a restaurant,
I went up to pay my bill. I still
dont know why, but I paid for
one of the musicians pie and
coffee. I just felt like doing it.
He was amazed that Ihad
paid for his food. Actually, it
made his daybecause he had
just helped another person by
doing a good deed. We discussed how it all played out
andhow that sometimeswhen
you do good things for people,
good things will return. Even
little decisions can help someone and sometimeslittle decisions and circumstances can
harm or hinder someone.
Did you ever take a very
small decision that, in the end,
had enormous good things return to you? Do you believe that
certain decisions we makecan
impact someones life?Decisions, choices, divine intervention? Let me know and Ill give
you a Penny for Your Thoughts.

gardener, growing your own
transplants can allow you to
experiment with unique varieties or grow your traditional
varieties with this cost saving
method. Indoor seed starting
is easy, and the small initial
investment in equipment will
pay off quickly.
Starting seeds indoors will
give you a jump on the growing season, allowing you to
harvest heat-loving crops
such as tomatoes, peppers
and melons earlier and over
a longer period of time. Some
cool-weather crops, such as
broccoli, also benefit from an
indoor start so they have time
to mature outdoors in spring or
fall, before midsummer heat or
winter freezes set in. Not every
crop is a good candidate for indoor seed starting. Beans, peas
and root crops should be sown

directly in the garden because
they dont transplant well. Information provided by Mother
Earth News.
Start with high-quality seeds
and varieties suited to your
regions conditions. Quality seeds sprout faster and at
a higher rate, they grow into
stronger seedlings, and they
can produce more.
Timing is very important for
planting seeds. If you start the
seed too early, the transplants
can become weak and rootbound making it harder for
them to grow outside. However, starting seeds too late can
mean you miss the optimum
growing window. To find out
when to start seeds of specific
crops in your area, check out

the farmers almanac for planting dates in your area at www.
almanac.com/gardening/planting-dates/OH/Paulding.
This small investment will
allow you to spend quality time
with your family. Make this
indoor garden a family event.
Research and learn about the
different varieties of seeds you
want to plant and grow this
year. Develop a timeline for
growing your seeds to ensure
that transplants are ready for
your garden this spring. This is
a great way to spend time with
each other while growing your
familys favorite fruits and
vegetables to enjoy this summer.

Harbingers of spring
Im somewhat of a wordsmith. I love words that roll elegantly off the tongue and those
that put it through calisthenics
before youre all done uttering
them. Sometimes the words I
like have no rhyme nor reason
why I like them, but something
about them makes me smile.
Harbinger is one of those
words. You dont hear it much,
except around this time of year,
when its the very thing that just
about everyone is looking for.
In case you arent familiar with
it, the Oxford dictionary says
harbinger means a person or
thing that announces or signals
the approach of another. Synonyms include sign, indication,
signal, and forewarning.
I vowed that I wasnt going to write about the weather,
simply because that would be
taking the easy way out, given
that the weather has provided
us with a lot to talk about this
winter. But its both irresistible
and unavoidable by now, when
were looking for those harbingers of spring that tell us its just
around the corner.
And I do believe it is just
around the corner. Did I tell
you my crocuses were up over
a month ago? Thats never happened before. Its been about
that long since Ive seen them
though and I like to think that
theyre at least budded underneath the snow. Hopefully the
snow will melt enough this
week to let me see for sure.
Ive got plants in the greenhouse that are beginning to bud
and bloom, like Queens Tears
(Billbergia nutans). Its been
in bloom for over a week now
and that only happens when the
daylight hours are long enough
to produce flowering.
Have you heard the birds early in the mornings, around daybreak? Thats a sign that spring
is happening. You dont usually
hear too many of them singing
their little hearts out like that in
the dead of winter.
Speaking of birds, remember
In the
Garden
By
Kylee Baumle
that robins will stay here in the
winter if they can find enough
food, so they arent usually a
reliable harbinger of spring
for us. Some of the robins we
see in winter are also ones that
have come down from points
further north. The best bird announcer of spring for us is the
red-winged blackbird and we
should be seeing them anytime
now. I usually hear them with
their distinctive call before I see
them.
We tapped the maple trees
this week, because the sap is
starting to flow. The maple trees
even have some budding going
on, so I hope that doesnt mean
that the sap season will be a
short one, but if it means spring
is coming early, then Ill not

complain.
Another sign that spring is
just around the corner is the
appearance of groundhogs.
Theyre one of the few animals
that enter true hibernation and a
week ago, I saw one scurrying
along the ditch bank, so theyre
out and about, ready to do whatever groundhogs do in spring.
(Well, we know what that is,
dont we? Wink, wink.)
Finally, did you know that
one of Ohios native wildflowers is actually called Harbinger
of Spring? Erigenia bulbosa
is also called pepper and salt
because of its clusters of small
white blooms with dark stamens, and it can be found right
here in Paulding County. Its a
member of the carrot family
with similar foliage that grows
to a height of about 4-9 inches.
By the time you read this, a
lot of our snow will be gone
(good riddance!) and well all
be enjoying that affliction we
call spring fever. That in itself is
a good sign that spring is ... well
... springing!

How Should You Respond

to Higher Interest Rates?
By Phil Recker
Edward Jones Advisor
If the Federal Reserve (Fed)
raises short-term interest rates
this year, as many financial
professionals predict, what
will it mean to you? As a consumer, you might experience
the ripple effects if longterm interest rates eventually
follow suit, affecting mortgages and other loans. But as
an investor, you might quickly
feel the impact of a move by
the Fed especially if you

own bonds.
In fact, the value of your
existing bonds might drop
noticeably if interest rates
were to rise. Thats because
no one will give you full price
for your lower-paying bonds
when new bonds are being issued at a higher interest rate.
So if you want to sell your
bonds, you might have to take
a loss on them.
Of course, if you were always planning to hold your
bonds until maturity, you
might not be overly concerned
with falling prices. Assuming
your bond issuers dont default and defaults are rare
among investment grade
bonds you will continue collecting regular interest payments until your bonds mature, at which point they will
be redeemed at full face value. Furthermore, just owning
bonds can help you diversify
your portfolio, which might
otherwise be dominated by
stocks and therefore be susceptible to big swings in value.
(While diversification can help
reduce the effects of volatility,
it cant guarantee a profit or
protect against loss.)
However, its still useful to
be aware of the effects of rising interest rates on bonds of
different maturities. Typically, when rates rise, long-term
bonds will fall in value more
than short-term bonds. So if
you only owned long-term
bonds, your portfolio could
take a bigger hit than if you
owned both short- and longterm bonds. Again, this might
not be a big issue if you intend
to hold bonds until they mature but if your plans change,
a drop in value in your bond
holdings could be cause for

concern. Furthermore, if you

just owned long-term bonds,
your money would be tied up,
thereby not allowing you to
take advantage of newly issued, higher-paying bonds.
You can help protect yourself against the potential negative effects of rising interest rates by incorporating a
fixed-income ladder in your
portfolio. You can build this
ladder by purchasing fixed-income securities such as corporate or municipal bonds in
various maturities. With your
ladder in place, a portion of
your portfolio matures at regular intervals. Consequently, you
can benefit from any increase
in interest rates by reinvesting
your maturing bonds at the
higher rate. And if interest rates
should fall, you still have your
longer-term bonds working for
you. (Generally, longer-term
vehicles pay higher rates than
shorter-term ones.)
Even if the Fed does raise
short-term rates in 2015, it
doesnt necessarily signal the
start of a trend. Interest rate
movements are notoriously
hard to predict and you probably wont help yourself by
trying to time your investment decisions based on where
rates may be heading. But
techniques such as a fixed-income ladder can work for you
in all interest rate environments. So as you think about
how youll invest in bonds in
the years ahead, keep this type
of all-weather strategy in
mind. It may be able to help
you keep the guesswork to a
minimum.

Social Security Q & A

Question: A few months
after I started receiving my Social Security retirement benefit,
my former employer offered to
take me back. Its a great offer.
Can I withdraw my retirement
claim and reapply later to increase my benefit amount?
Answer: Social Security
understands that unexpected
changes may occur after you
begin receiving retirement benefits. If you change your mind, you
may be able to withdraw your Social Security claim and re-apply
at a future date. This withdrawal
must occur within 12 months of
your original retirement, and you
are limited to one withdrawal
during your lifetime. Keep in
mind, you must repay all of the
benefits you received. You can
learn more about the one-year period when you can postpone your
benefits at www.socialsecurity.
gov/retire2/withdrawal.htm
Question: If I have a question
about my Medicare bill, who
should I contact?
Answer: First, contact your
provider. If you are unable to get
your question answered or the
problem resolved, then contact
1-800 MEDICARE (1-800-6334227). For more information
about Medicare benefits, visit
www.medicare.gov.
Question: I heard that Social
Security benefits increased at
the beginning of the year. What
is the average Social Security
retirement payment that a person receives each month?
Answer: You are right Social Security benefits increased
this year. In 2015, nearly 64
million Americans who receive
Social Security or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) began
receiving a cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) increase of 1.7
percent to their monthly benefit
payments. The average monthly
Social Security benefit for a retired worker in 2015 is $1,328
(up from $1,306 in 2014). The
average monthly Social Security
benefit for a disabled worker in
2015 is $1,165 (up from $1,146
in 2014). As a reminder, eligibility for retirement benefits still
requires 40 credits (usually about
10 years of work). The Social Security Act details how the COLA
is calculated. You can read more
about the COLA at www.socialsecurity.gov/cola.
Question: Im getting ready
to start filling out my disability
benefits application online, but
Im concerned I will need to
stop before I can finish it. Can
I stop before completing the
application and come back to
finish it later? If so, how do I
return to my online application
to finish it when I have all the
information I need?
Answer: Applying for disability is a multi-step process
that may take one to two hours
to complete, depending on your
situation. You can save your application as you go. This allows
you to come back and finish later.
When you start your application, you will receive a Re-entry Number. You will need this
number to return to your application to complete it. You can go
back to the online application at
https://secure.ssa.gov/iClaim/dib.
After youre finished and have
submitted your application, well
contact you with any updates or
questions we may have about
your information. You can also
use our application status page
to check on the status of your
completed application online at
https://secure.ssa.gov/apps6z/

On to districts for Lady Raiders
By KEVIN
WANNEMAKER
Sportswriter
BRYAN Wayne Traces
girls basketball team will play in
tomorrows Division IV district
tournament for the first time since
the 2010-2011 season after the
Raiders defeated Fayette 61-55
in sectional final play Saturday at
Bryan High School.
The Raiders dominated the
Eagles on the boards 47-29, including grabbing 24 offensive
rebounds, in punching their ticket
into tomorrows district semifinal
against Pettisville at Archbold
High School. The Blackbirds
(22-1) and Raiders (16-8) will
square off at 6:15 p.m. prior to the
second game between Ayersville
(20-3) and Holgate (18-6).
Saturday nights first quarter
was one of the most entertaining
quarters of the season as the two
teams went back and forth at a
high pace with the first eight minutes ending in a 20-20 tie.
After Wayne Trace led most of
the first quarter, the Eagles took
their initial lead of the night at 1715 following a basket by Taylor
Griffiths.
A Danae Myers bucket tied
the game at 17-17 before Fayette
went back on top 20-17 on a Kaela Seiler 3-pointer.
Following one of two free
throws by Shayna Temple, the
Raiders tied the score at 20-20 on
a late basket by Temple.
We were able to speed the
game up and that is one thing we
wanted to do, commented Bethany Hughes. The girls came out
and played very aggressive and
with a lot of intensity from start to
finish.
Wayne Trace went back in
front early in the second stanza on
a Courtney Mead bucket before
five straight points by the Eagles
put Fayette on top 25-22.
Griffiths, who was fouled on a
3-point attempt, connected on all
three free throws to put the Eagles
on top 28-24 late in the stanza but
the Raiders responded.
Nine consecutive Wayne Trace
points to end the half, including
six straight by Erin Mohr, gave
the Raiders the momentum and a
33-28 advantage at the intermission.
It was a back and forth
game, Hughes added. Both
teams played hard and both teams

made runs at different times. I am
proud of the way the girls fought
through fatigue and just continued to play and give it everything
they had. We have some tired
girls right now.
After a basket by Temple
opened the second half scoring,
Fayette rallied.
The Eagles answered with a
dozen points in a row, five of
which came from Griffiths, as
Fayette came back to take a 40-35
lead with 1:33 left in the quarter.
We knew they had some
shooters and they were big,
Hughes continued. We didnt
make some good decisions and
they took the momentum while
taking advantage of our mistakes.
But we just talked about getting
back to playing the way we wanted to play and the girls did a good
job of that.
Wayne Trace closed back within
42-40 entering the final quarter as
Mohr converted a 3-point play and
Myers canned two free throws.
A pair of foul shots each by
Gracie Gudakunst and Myers
gave the Raiders a 44-42 lead before a bucket by Griffiths knotted
the game at 44-44.
Wayne Trace led 48-45 after a
Mohr bucket at the 4:20 mark but
a Seiler 3-pointer pulled Fayette
even again at 48-48 with 3:32 remaining.
The Raiders then took the lead
for good at the 3:18 mark on a
3-point play by Temple.
We had girls step up and
make plays tonight, commented
Hughes. Shayna hit some big
shots for us and Erin came up
with some key baskets.
Wayne Trace widened the advantage to 55-48 following a pair
of Temple buckets, the last of
which came with 1:51 remaining.
A Danae Myers two-pointer extended the lead to 57-49 at
the 1:34 mark before the Eagles
would make things interesting.
Two free throws from Seiler,
a bucket by Paige Keefer and
another basket by Seiler, thanks
in part to three straight Raider
turnovers, got the Eagles within
57-55 with 45 seconds left.
However, Temple was fouled
and proceeded to hit both free
throws to push the margin back to
59-55 at the 27 second mark.
Following two straight Eagle

the victory with a basket to start
the Raider celebration.
The girls worked very hard
this week and the last two days
they have prepared well, noted
Hughes. We came in and executed what we wanted to do tonight.
Temple recorded a double-double for Wayne Trace, leading
the way with 23 points and 10
rebounds. The junior guard also
dished out a pair of assists while
picking up three steals.
Mohr added 18 points and nine
boards for the Raiders, moving
to 997 points for her career. The
junior forward picked up three
assists and three steals as well.
Myers also hit double figures,
scoring 13 points and bringing
down nine rebounds. Myers had
six points in the first quarter that
was critical to Wayne Traces early success.
Danae did a good job of finding her spot and then she knocked
down shots for us, Hughes stated.

Freshman Gracie Gudakunst,
the shortest player on the court
at 5-foot-3, was also huge for
Wayne Trace with five offensive
rebounds and seven boards in all.
Gracie is only 5-3 but she
plays with the biggest heart on
our team, said Hughes. She
gives it everything she has every night and it showed tonight
where she was able to come up
with some big rebounds for us.
This is a big team win for us,
concluded Hughes. These girls
are getting the chance to get more
practice time and more experience at the tournament level and
we are looking forward to playing on Thursday. Well get back
to work on Monday and start preparing for Pettisville.

Records set in Archer win over Edon

Williamson 33, Copsey 30 set mark for duo scoring
By JOE SHOUSE
Sportswriter
ANTWERP The Antwerp Archers were

back on the court last Monday for their third
game in four nights and their last home game
of the season. In what was billed as senior
recognition night, the Archers lone senior,
Trenton Copsey, answered the call and
played his best game in an Archer uniform.
Antwerp defeated the Edon Blue Bombers
69-52 but it was the performance by 6-foot-4
senior Trenton Copsey and his running mate
Sam Williamson, who is only a junior, that
had the Archer fans buzzing. Copsey bucketed 30 points on the night after being held to
just two in the opening quarter. The Archer
big-man collected 11 field goals including
one from behind the arc and was a perfect
7-of-7 at the stripe.
Joining Copsey at the 30 point range was
Williamson who was electric at the offensive
end with 33 points. Williamson netted 12
field goals with five coming from downtown. In fact, the duo had all the Archer
points 46 until Matt Jones drained a
3-pointer with 2:04 remaining in the third
period. Jones was the only other Archer to
score in the contest, finishing with six.
Tim Copsey, Antwerp sports authority and
historian, reported that having two 30-point
scorers in a single game has happened two
other times. On Jan. 28, 1966, Grover Hill
defeated the Archers 96-92 with Jack Neely
and Gary Kemerer each scoring 30. Two
years later, Nov. 30, 1968, the Archers outlasted Grover Hill, this time, 101-88 with Les
Detmon pouring in 32 and team mate Larry
Jump adding 30.
The 33 points from Williamson is also the
most points scored in the present Antwerp
gym that was erected in 2004. The previous
record was 31 points set by Aaron Taylor,
also against Edon, on Feb. 5, 2005. The 69
points scored by the Archers is their largest
output of the 2014-15 campaign.
The game was even after one quarter of
play at 14-14 but the Archers found themselves trailing 18-14 early in the second stanza. The Archers responded to tie the score at
20 apiece before Williamson connected on
a couple free throws followed by a Copsey
basket to put the Archers on top 24-20 with
4:22 remaining in the first half. The blueand-white would not trail again at that point.
They (Edon) are going to come out and
play hard. They did that tonight at the begin-
ning and we had to work hard to get back in

control, said Antwerp head coach TJ Hammer.
Holding a narrow threepoint margin at
the break, the Archers went up 36-32 on a
Williamson 3-pointer followed by seven
consecutive points from Copsey to push the
Archer lead to double digits, 43-32. Back-toback threes from Williamson and Jones had
the Archers in the drivers seat at 49-34. The
third period closed out with the blue-andwhite leading 51-34.
The fourth quarter had Antwerps lead
to as many as 17 before the Blue Bombers
whittled it down to nine, 59-50, on a 3- pointer from Braydon Bauer with three minutes
remaining but would get no closer as the Archers increased their lead back up to 17 in the
final minute.
For the Bombers, Alex Kirkingburg finished with 18 and Landon Bloir added 14 to
lead the offensive attack for the visitors.
I thought Kirkingburg played a great
game. We tightened up our defense in the
second half and got some key stops that
helped us get the large lead, said Hammer.
With the win the Archers stand at 8-12
while Edon falls to 1-20.
Edon 14 14 8 16 - 52
Antwerp 14 17 20 18 - 69

Bauer. Fouls: 15.
Antwerp 69: Jones 1 3-4 6, Williamson 12 4-5 33,
Copsey 11 7-7 30, Longardner 0 0-2 0. Totals: 24 1418 69. Three point goals: Jones, Williamson 5, Copsey.
Fouls: 19.
Junior Varsity: In a low-scoring game, the

blue-and-white picked up its fifth win of the
season over Edon 23-18.
Scoring for the winning Archers were
Dylan Peters nine, Brandon Laney six, Josh
Poulson six and Eric Buchan two.
WOODBURN The Antwerp Archers
went on one of their shortest road trips of
the season but it was across the state line as
the blue-and-white met up with the Woodlan
Warriors in Indiana. Both squads played their
final regular season game. The Warriors had
won three games but turned it around as of
late to win two of their last three for a 5-17
mark. Against the Archers, Woodlan used the
3-pointer to prevail in the season finale 6452.
Woodlan finished the contest with 12
3-pointers as five different players found
their mark from behind the arc.
We knew going in how they live or die by

the 3-point shot and tonight we didnt defend
and they lived by the shot, said Antwerp
head coach TJ Hammer.
Elijah OHara scored 18 points including
four 3-pointers to lead the Warriors. His running mate Andrew Krahn also drained four
buckets from behind the arc to finish with 16
points.
Antwerp placed three players in double
digits with senior Trenton Copsey leading
the attack with 20 followed by 13 from Sam
Williamson and Josh Longardner coming
through with 12.
It seems to be the same story but we
didnt execute defensively and thats been
our Achilles heel all season. If we dont hold
a team in the 40s or low 50s we arent going
to win, said Hammer.
The Archers got off to a good start with
Copsey hitting for 10 points in the first period
to help put the Archers ahead 14-11 after the
first period.
The second quarter had the Warriors outscore the Archers 19-11 to take a 30-25 margin at the break. In the quarter Longardner
had eight points with Williamson adding a
triple.
The third frame saw the blue-and-white
trail by as many as nine but the Archers
chipped away to trail 44-41 heading into the
final eight minutes.
The Archers kept it close in the fourth but
still found themselves trailing by three 51-48
when Copsey came up big from the corner
for a 3-pointer. Unfortunately, the visitors
from Ohio would get no closer in dropping
the 12 point decision.
Antwerp finishes the regular season at
8-14 and will play Pettisville, 10-12, in the
first game of the Divison IV sectional at
Paulding on Wednesday night. Game time is
at 6:15 p.m. Both teams squared off back on
Dec. 4, 2014 to tip off the season with the Archers prevailing on their home court 49-37.

Raiders wrap up 20-win season Raiders rout
By KEVIN
WANNEMACHER
Sportswriter
HAVILAND The Wayne
Trace boys basketball team
posted its third straight 20-win
season on Friday night as they
posted a 62-49 victory over
visiting Ottoville on senior
night in the regular season finale.
It is the 12th time in school
history that the Raiders have
posted a 20-win season but the
first back-to-back-to-back 20win seasons.
Seniors Darius Hale, Jake
Arend, David Sinn and Corbin
Linder all were recognized between the junior varsity and
varsity contests before the final
home game of their careers in a
Raider uniform.
They are a tremendous
group, noted Raider head
coach Jim Linder. They have
all worked very hard and are
a big part of this team and the
success we have had.
Two Ethan Linder free
throws and a Darius Hale
3-pointer quickly put Wayne
Trace on top 5-0 before the
Big Green answered with five
straight points.
However, the Raiders responded with nine consecutive
points to quickly grab control.
Three-pointers by brothers
Corbin and Ethan Linder along
with an old fashioned 3-point
play by Ethan put Wayne Trace
on top 14-5.
Following two free throws
by Ottovilles Brandt Landin,
the Raiders came back with
10 straight points to widen
the margin to 24-7. Ethan and
Corbin Linder each had four
points in the spurt with Justin
Speice adding the other basket.
We were able to get off to
a quick start and took advantage of it, commented Linder.
Ethan does a lot of things for
us and is able to create things
for us offensively. Corbin hit
some shots and passed the ball
very well tonight.
Ottoville did get within 2412 at the end of eight minutes
of action, getting a late basket

by Kyle Bendele along with a
3-pointer from Colin Bendele.
Wayne Trace started off the
second quarter right where it
left off in the first.
The Raiders opened the scoring with an Alec Vest basket
followed by a Cole Shepherd
bucket to grab a 28-12 advantage. A Corbin Linder 3-pointer and four straight points from
Ethan Linder expanded the
Wayne Trace lead to 35-14 at
the 4:54 mark of the second
quarter.
Our bench play continues
to get better and they are key
to the success of this team,
added Linder. Justin came in
and gave us quality minutes
tonight and got some big baskets for us. Alec continues to
get better and is doing a better
job of playing under control.
Luke is all over the place for
us and does just so much that
doesnt show up in the scoring
column and plays his heart out
every night. Cole Shepherd is
outsized almost every night but
just works so hard and battles
underneath for us. Our depth
keeps getting better and is crucial.
Trailing 37-18 at the intermission, Ottoville would make
a run in the third quarter.
Three consecutive 3-pointers by Tyler Roby on the first
three possessions of the second
half trimmed the Raider lead to
37-27 with six minutes left in
the stanza.
However, Wayne Trace then
weathered the storm with a
Corbin Linder basket and an
Alec Vest 3-pointer to go back
in front 42-29.
After a 3-pointer by Ottovilles Colin Bendele, a basket
by Vest was followed by a steal
and two free throws by Luke
Miller to put the Raiders on top
46-32. The Raiders went on to
post a 48-36 lead entering the
final quarter.
Ottoville came out and hit
some big shots, Linder said.
We knew they were capable
of shooting the ball well but we

Ottoville last Friday night to close out the regular season.

tried to adjust and limit (Kyle)

Bendele inside. They came out
and battled us and we had to
make adjustments.
Two Landin free throws
brought the Big Green within
48-38 early in the fourth quarter but Ottoville would get no
closer.
Seven straight Raider points,
coming from two Speice baskets and a Miller 3-point play,
widened the Wayne Trace lead
to 55-38.
Everybody made a play
of some kind tonight, Linder
stated. We had guys hit a big
shot or they would come up
with a key defensive play or
get a big rebound at a key time.
We have had different players
step up and make plays this
season and that is something
we need to continue.
Ethan Linder finished with
20 points to pace all scorers
in the contest while Corbin
Linder added 15 markers and
Justin Speice chipped in 10.

Darius Hale had three points
in his final game at home to go
along with two rebounds, one
assist and two steals. Corbin
Linder added eight boards, six
assists and a steal as well. Jake
Arend posted three rebounds
and an assist for Wayne Trace
too.
Jake is being asked to play
as a forward and gives it everything he has every night,
Linder said. Darius has just
continued to get better and better this year. It is a good way to
end the regular season and it is
a good way for our seniors to
go out.
Kyle Bendele paced Ottoville with 15 points and Brandt
Landin added 13. Kyle Bendele
also had nine rebounds for the
Big Green, which falls to 11-10
on the season. Landin chipped
in three assists and two steals.
Wayne Traces junior varsity team wrapped up its season with a record of 16-5 after
holding off Ottoville for a 2421 victory.
Brady Stabler bucketed 11
points for the Raiders with
Jayden Sherry adding five. Stabler also led the Raiders with
five rebounds and Seth Saylor
picked up four steals.
The Raider varsity opens up
sectional tournament action on
Friday. Wayne Trace will play
the winner of Tuesdays Hilltop-North Central sectional
semifinal in Division IV sectional championship action at
Paulding High School.

HAVILAND Wayne
Trace scored the games first
seven points and pulled away
from there in routing rival
Crestview 77-48 Tuesday
night in non-league boys basketball action.
The Raiders led 26-14 after
one quarter and 53-20 at the
intermission in rolling to their
19th victory of the season.
We came out strong, we
wanted to be strong defensively and try to keep the
ball out of Connor Lautzenheisers hands, Raider head
coach Jim Linder said after
the game. We just jumped
on them, and kept jumping on
them. We got off to a really
good start, which is nice to
see.
Crestview was playing
without three injured starters
and the lack of experience
was crucial as the Knights
committed turnovers that resulted in easy baskets for the
Raiders.
The duo of brothers Corbin
and Ethan Linder combined
for 28 points in the first half
with Jake Arend and Alec
Vest also chipping in eight
points each. Wayne Trace
finished the first two quarters
hitting 21 of 27 shots, an astounding 78 percent.
I think just getting after it
and getting into a good flow,
Coach Linder gave as an explanation for the tremendous
offensive efficiency. We
got some steals early and got
some open shots, and then we
started hitting some threes.
The games a lot easier when
you can do that.
From there, Wayne Trace
put it into cruise control the
rest of the way before settling
on the 77-48 victory.
Were getting better as
a unit, Coach Linder explained. We mixed a zone
in there at times tonight, and
we played a pretty good zone,
too. Youve got to have both
defenses going in (to the tournament), and we really like
our pressure defense; thats
our strength.
Ethan Linder led the way
with 17 points for Wayne
Trace with brother Corbin
Linder adding 13 markers.
Jake Arend and Darius Hale
also hit double figures, re-
cording 10 points each. Justin Speice (eight), Alec Vest

(eight), Cole Shepherd (seven), Luke Miller (two) and
Clint Sinn (two) also scored
for the Raiders.
The Raiders finished the
night 33 of 52 from the field
for 63 percent.
Wayne Trace picked up a
25-20 victory over the Knights
in the junior varsity game as
well.
STEVE HALL TO BE
HONORED Former Wayne
Trace standout Steve Hall, a
1988 graduate who passed
away last week, will have his
uniform retired on Saturday,
Feb. 13, 2016. Hall was a
teacher and coach at Grandview Heights, whose team
will make the trip to battle the
Raiders that evening.

Lady Panthers bow out in D-III sectional
By JIM LANGHAM
Sportswriter
DEFIANCE The Paulding
Lady Panthers reached the end
of the 2014-15 basketball season at the Defiance Division
III Sectional last Wednesday
night when they dropped a 6739 loss to a strong Delta team.
Paulding finished the season
with a 2-21 record while Delta moved on from the contest
with a record of 16-7.
Delta came out firing and
jumped into a 5-0 lead before
Pauldings Faith Vogel hit a
free throw to break into the
scoring column.
The next possession, Vogel
hit again, to close the gap to
5-3, but Delta went on a run
to extend its lead to 12-3 and
then roared on to a 25-9 advantage at the end of the first
quarter.
Part of the problem facing
the Panthers was Deltas tenacious full-court trapping defense that the Paulding offense
had a difficult time breaking
through. In addition, the Delta defense forced numerous
Paulding turnovers and then
converted them into quick
buckets to pull away.
The trend continued in the
second quarter as Delta outscored Paulding 17-7 to grab
a 42-16 advantage at the halfway mark.
The third quarter was Pauldings best quarter. Brooke
Combs canned her second of
two treys to start the second
half. With Suzanne Reinhart
muscling up back-to-back tallies midway through the third
stanza, the Panthers narrowed
the gap to 44-27, but Delta
went on another run to lead
59-29 going into the last quarter.
Vogel led Pauldings scoring with 13 points while Brigan Wymer manhandled the
Paulding defense by breaking
lose for 23 points. In addition,
Jenni Davis and Morgan Mattimore scored 14 and 13 points
respectively for Delta.
Delta was the third seed in
the sectional.
Their defensive pressure
really hurt us in the beginning.
We had a difficult time getting
the ball down the floor, said
Paulding head coach Lyndsi
Schultz.
Their shooting really hurt
us that first half. They hit 60
percent from the field. Many
of those were layups because
we didnt take care of the basketball from their defense,
said Schultz.
Schultz especially praised
her three seniors for the strong
leadership they provided in
the teams finale.
Our seniors, Morgan Riley, Brooke Combs and Suzanne Reinhart, played with
a lot of heart. In spite of the
score, they never gave up
and worked hard. I am really
proud of them, said Schultz.
The did a really good job.
I have really appreciated having them on the team and their
hard work. I wish them good
success as they continue,
added Schultz.

After tough losses, Panthers

regroup for sectional run
By JIM LANGHAM
Sportswriter
ADA The Paulding Panther boys team couldnt finish the job this past weekend,
losing a 54-48 game to a
tough Edgerton team at home
on Thursday night and then
losing again on a pair of free
throws with six seconds to
go, 43-41, at Ada on Friday.
Fridays loss was especially disappointing because the
Panthers led most of the way
until a basket by Adas Braydon Sautter put the Bulldogs
on top, 40-39, with three minutes left in the game. Minutes later, Blake Willeke of
Ada sank the first end of two
free throws to edge his team
ahead, 41-39, but a basket by
Pauldings Alex Arellano tied
the game, 41-41.
However, with six seconds
remaining in the game, Adas
Levi Bass was fouled cutting into the paint and made
both ends of the free throw
to claim the win for the Bulldogs.
We just didnt come ready
to play tonight, said a disappointed Shawn Brewer,
Paulding coach, following
the game.
There were too many lulls
in the game; we would move
out into a lead and then allow
them back into the game,
Brewer said. We played hard
to stay in the lead and then allowed them to do what they
had to do to get back into the
game.
Paulding jumped into a
13-8 advantage at the end
of the first quarter, and then
spotted Ada three points to
barely hang on to a 23-21
advantage at the half. In the
third stanza, the local squad
outscored Ada, 10-8, to hang
on a 33-29 advantage going
into the final stanza.
Arellano and Corbin Edwards scored 13 and 12 points
respectively while Grant McBride and Levi Bass scored
12 and 11 points for Ada.
Ironically, Paulding outshot (18-32, 56 percent) Ada
(17-36, 47 percent) from the
field. In addition, Paulding
out rebounded Ada, 19-12.
In junior varsity action,
Ada bested Paulding by one
point, 56-55.
Against a tough Edgerton
team, 10 points by the Bulldogs Alex Michael in a 1710 breaking of Paulding in
the third stanza made the difference in a seven-point loss
to Edgerton.
In that contest, Paulding
jumped out to a 14-9 advantage at the end of the first
quarter and then hung on to
a slim one-point advantage

for the win.

On that night, which was
senior night at the local
high school, Arellano led the
Panthers with 19 points while
Treston Gonzales pushed 12
points through the iron. Alex
Michael and Duane Midler
scored 17 and 16 points respectively for the visitors.
I was very proud of our
guys in this game, noted
Brewer. I like the way we
dealt with the adversity. We
got down by nine points but
fought our way back. This was
one of our better efforts.
Our defense played really well. Credit Edgerton for
making the plays they needed
to make to win.
Our seniors played really
well. I was proud of them,
added Brewer.
Those graduating seniors
for Paulding include Brad
Crawford, Ben Heilshorn,
Treston Gonzales and Christian Burtch.
In that contest, Paulding and
Edgerton each shot 44 percent
respectively from the field.

Short tournament trail for Aces

Lady Archer Peyton Short hits for 21 in upset win over Hicksville
By JOE SHOUSE
Sportswriter
BRYAN You always hear

the old saying this time of
year when tournament time
rolls around its hard to
beat a team three times in a
season. That came true in the
opening game of the Division
IV girls sectional at Bryan.
After being handled by the
Lady Aces on two previous
occasions, the Lady Archers
put the past behind them and
played giant killers in their
upset win, 49-42. The win by
the 12th seed Archers over 6th
seed Hicksville gives them
the opportunity to move on
and play the number one seed
Pettisville.
Standing at the corner of
the gym following his teams
tournament win, coach Kevin
Taylor was relishing the moment. With a grin he noted,
Third times the charm.
During the regular season the Aces defeated the
blue-and-white, 38-26, in the
Route 49 Classic and again
in mid-January, 44-20. Los-
ing by 24 and then winning

by seven was a great feeling
for Taylor and his improving
squad as he assessed the 31point turnaround.
I am ecstatic about the win.
We got the quick start, a huge
lead, and then we didnt crack
under pressure at the end,
said Taylor.
The Archers may have surprised some people with the
win, but for many of the Lady
Archer die-hard-fans, they
have witnessed a team getting
better throughout the season.
It was just a matter of time
when it would all come together and what better time
to put it all together than tournament time.
The blue-and-white trailed
4-0 but a traditional threepoint play by Annie Miesle
knotted the score at six a piece
at 3:25 and the Archers never
trailed. Peyton Short collected seven points in the initial
period and Miesle capped off
the quarter with a put-back on
a Becca Johanns miss as the
buzzer sounded. The Archers
were on top 14-7 after the first
Lady Raiders
roll to sectional
title matchup
eight minutes and continued to

hold its advantage in the second
quarter.
Although the Archers scored
just eight points in the second
period, it was their defense that
rose to the occasion. The Aces
were held to just one field goal
and three free throws in the second frame allowing the Archers
to go to the locker room holding a 22-12 lead at the break.
Antwerp opened the third
quarter with an 11-0 run that
included three 3-pointers from
Short and a two-point goal from
Recker. The Archers were in
control with just over four minutes showing on the clock 3312; its largest lead of the contest. Short led all scorers with
21 points including five goals
from behind the arc.
She (Short) had a nice game
and came up with some key
baskets for us. When it looked
like Hicksville would make
a little run it was Peyton who
drove to the hoop for two. That
was a nice effort on her part that
slowed down the Hicksville
momentum, said Taylor.
Hicksville started chipping
away at the Archer lead and
managed to trail by just 13
heading into the final eight
minutes. The 13-point cushion quickly disappeared when
the Aces got back-toback
buckets from Chelsey Taylor
to pull the Aces to within seven, 36-29, with 4:34 remaining.
In the closing four minutes
it was a parade to the foul line

for the Archers who had 18
attempts, hitting 11. With 51
seconds remaining and the
Archers nursing a 42-36 lead,
Short found an opening to the
glass for a bank shot to put the
winners ahead 44-36. Rachel
Williams was fouled on an attempted steal and calmly sank
two free throws to push the Archer advantage back to double
digits 46-36.
Hicksville was still hanging
around and with back-to-back
three-pointers from Allison
Slattery and Berenyi the Aces
made it interesting, trailing 4642 with 21.8 seconds remaining. Williamson however, left
little doubt what the outcome
would be as she closed out

BRYAN Just over two weeks ago, Wayne Trace jumped in
front of visiting Continental 27-6 after one quarter in cruising
to a 30-point win in the regular season matchup.
The Raiders did almost the same last Wednesday night in Division IV sectional action at Bryan High School as Wayne Trace
cruised to a 68-26 victory over the Pirates.
Wayne Trace led 22-13 after eight minutes of action before widening the margin to 38-20 at the intermission to improve to 15-8
on the season. Continental ends its season with a record of 3-20.
We played pretty well overall, noted Raider head coach
Bethany Hughes. We took care of the ball tonight, especially
in the first half, and I thought we did a good job on the boards
as well.
The Raiders led 55-23 at the end of three quarters after outscoring the Pirates 17-3 in the stanza.
Erin Mohr paced the way for the Raiders with 25 points on
the night with Courtney Mead adding 11 points. Danae Myers
and Gracie Gudakunst chipped in eight and seven points, respectively, for Wayne Trace.
Estie Sinn (six), Hollie Wannemacher (five), Shayna Temple
(four) and Brianna Sinn (two) picked up the remaining Raider
points on the night.
We were able to get a lot of girls playing time tonight,
continued Hughes. They got some quality time on the court
and that should help us down the road. We got contributions
from a lot of girls and that is what it is going to take for us to be
successful.

State-ranked Pettisville flies

past Archers in girls tourney
By JOE SHOUSE
Sportswriter
BRYAN - Tournament time

is difficult when you know that
with one loss, all of a sudden,
your season ends. The Antwerp
Lady Archers experienced that
difficult moment last Saturday
when the Pettisville Blackbirds
easily defeated the blue-andwhite, 41-13.
Going into the sectional
match up, the Archers knew
they were in an uphill battle. The Blackbirds entered
the game with just one loss, a
one-point overtime set back
to Archbold back on Dec. 27.
Since the loss, the senior laden Blackbirds were riding a
14-game winning streak. The
Archers, who have no seniors,
faced a solid team that got 37
of its 41 points from their senior class.
On the other hand, the Archers, who won just one game
last year, and increased their
win total to six, were playing
in a situation many were not
expecting. The Lady Archers
were coming off a surprise upset win over Hicksville, a team
that had defeated them twice
during the regular season. The
tournament win over Hicksville
had the Lady Archers playing
some of their best basketball of
the season. A bid for a second
upset was a long shot against
the eighth-ranked Blackbirds
but the blue-and-white battled
through 32 minutes of play and
gave it their best.
I am proud of our kids. We
were up against a very good
team that has shown all year
how impressive they are with
their record and good players.
Obviously we didnt do the
things we needed to do to win.
I thought for two-and-a-half
quarters we played with them
and our defense forced them
out of what they wanted to do
in the first half, said Antwerp
head coach Kevin Taylor.
Antwerp went without a
point in the first period and
trailed 9-0 but then outscored
Pettisville 7-5 in the second
frame to trail 14-7 at intermission. The Archers managed
just one field goal in the first
half a 3-pointer from Avery
Braaten. The Archer defense
was effective in the first half
holding Pettisville to just two
field goals in the first 16 minutes a couple of 3-pointers
from Mikala Avina in the opening couple of minutes of play.
Avina finished the night with
17 points to lead all scorers.
The Archers opened the third
stanza with a bucket from Rachel Williams to trim the lead
to 14-9 but it was all Blackbirds after that. Dana Fricke,
the 5-foot-10 center ,was held
to just two free throws in the
first half and after making
some adjustments at the break
it was apparent that Fricke was
going to take over in the paint.
Scoring eight points in the third
Fricke finished with 14 for the
winners.
While the Archers were excited about moving on in the
tournament they struggled
shooting the ball, rebounding,
and again, committing too
many turnovers.
I think they had us down
with 22 turnovers but it seemed
like it was more like 35. At the
foul line we were just six of 21
and that has to improve. We
know what we have to work on
in the off- season and we will
come back next year ready to
play, said coach Taylor.
The Archers finish the season
6-18 while losing four games
by four points or less. A double
digit effort in the win column
was close and next year the
Lady Archers will be ready for

undefeated season mark. Goeltzenleuchter lost in the championship match to state ranked
Schuyler Caprella 4-2 in overtime.
With the top four qualifiers
from each weight class advancing to the districts this Saturday,
the Raiders had three grapplers
who finished fourth and will advance. Zaine Cotterman (152),
Jacob Dingus (160) and Quinton Stabler (285) each captured
fourth place and will join Clemens, Showalter and Goeltzenleuchter at Hobart Arena in Troy
for district competition on Saturday.
Im excited for our squad
with six wrestlers moving on.
This was a tough sectional tournament and our guys wrestled to
their potential. This kind of competition will get us ready for the
next stage of the tournament,
said head coach George Clemens.
Three Raider alternates will be
available if for any reason one of
the top four qualifiers are unable
to wrestle on Saturday. The alternates are those wrestlers who
finished fifth in their respective
weight class. For the Raiders,
the fifth place finishers include

Wrestling is a Deatrick family affair
When Paulding senior wrestler Adam Deatrick heads to Fostoria Saturday to look for a state
qualifying performance at districts, he will take an
entire family heritage background of support with
him.
Mom, Susan Miller Deatrick, was a wrestling
statistician at Wayne Trace High School. Jared
Deatrick, who graduated from Paulding in 2010,
was a state qualifier and achieved his 100th career win in 2010. He graduated from University
of Findlay and received a four-year-varsity letter
as a member of the Western Equestrian Team. He
competed in Nationals three times.
Jaime Deatrick graduated from Paulding High
School in 2012 where she served as a wrestling
statistician for junior high and high school.
Taylor Deatrick, who graduated from Paulding
in 2014, was a three-time district qualifier and
received his 100th career win as a junior. He is
currently attending Tiffin University where he is a
member of the Tiffin Western Equestrian Team.
The familys fourth participant in Paulding
High School wrestling, Adam, became the familys third 100-plus winner this past December. He
is currently being recruited to wrestle by Mount
Union University.
Two younger siblings, Andrew, a sophomore,
wrestled in eighth grade and Emily, an eighth
grader, currently a cheerleader, also kept stats for
the eighth grade team and is currently keeping
stats for high school.
Deatrick, who wrestles in the 182 class, has
I started wrestling in kindergarten, recalled

Deatrick. My brother, Jared, started wrestling
when he was in the fifth grade.
This is a very mental game, continued Deatrick. You need to be quick on your feet, but you
have to be thinking quick all of the time. I like
it because you have a sense of your own destiny.
You dont have to depend on someone else.
Some of Deatricks career highlights include
Most Valuable Player of the Northwest Conference, winner of the conference meet and being
selected as the J.J. Huddle Athlete of the Week.
Jared has encouraged me and helped me a lot.
He has always been there for support, observed
Deatrick. Jared came back as an assistant coach
after college. He is our assistant coach this year.
He gives me a push when I need it. He helps me
get better.
This year (senior year) I hope to place at
state, observed Deatrick, who is ranked 14th in
the state.
Deatrick said that the top four in each weight
class go to state.
This has made me more and more self-sufficient, observed Deatrick. It teaches me how to
learn to do things for myself; it has helped build
my sense of confidence. I love to get out of tough
positions. This is such a game mentally.
Deatrick hopes to study civil engineering at
Mount Union.
Im good at math, this is something I want to
do, observed Deatrick.
