The North Central Eagles Locomotives Play Host Battle Back To Stun The To Evergreen; Fall To The Stryker Panthers On May 1st Vikes In NWOAL Play 7-1
PIONEER: May 1 The North Central Eagles and the Stryker Pantherstwo well coached BBC teams with a long history of last man standing battles. As both teams took to the diamond at North Central High School on May 1, another nail biter was on the menu. The Eagles Branden Turner, despite a shaky outing on the hill, went into lockdown mode when he needed to, and also helped his own cause by scoring the tying run in the bottom of the sixth to lead the hometown boys to a 6-5 win over the stunned Panther Pack. The Eagles jumped on Stryker starter Brody Shock for three in the first. Shock then settled in, and the Panthers got a run back in the second, then tied the game with two in the fourth off a wild Turner whose control was as fleeting as the wind-driven icy rain that plagued both teams. Turner settled in until the top of the sixth when the Panthers plated a pair to take a 5-3 lead. It was then up to North Central to respondand respond they did. Steven Williams and Turner both got onboard, and Josh Sawyer then got a hold of a Shock pitch that he drove to right field. The wind aloft carried the ball over the head of the Stryker outfielder, driving home Williams and Turner to tie the game. With Sawyer at third, Clayton Ferguson was intentionally passed to set up a potential double play. Dylan Hutchison hit a ground ball that Stryker first baseman Cody Hall immediately gunned to catcher Colton Benson who put the tag on the sliding sawyer who tried to score on the play. Ferguson was advancing on the initial contact, and with the play at the plate occurring, he rounded second and motored for third. The relay throw to third was errant, allowing Ferguson to score from first base on the play. That run proved to be the game winner. Turner went the distance for 12-3 / 5-1 North Central, who now is one-up on Stryker in the loss column for the BBC lead. Turner allowed 5 runs, 4 earned on 5 hits, a hit batter and 7 walks, fanning 9. Sawyer finished with a 2-RBI double, Alex Proper had a pair of singles and an RBI, Turner had three base hits, and Hutchison and Colton Pilmore each had an RBI base hit. Shock went the route for the 7-9 / 6-2 Panthers. He was charged with 6 runs, 3 earned on 8 hits, 4 walks and 2 hit batters, whiffing 7. Chad Ruffer plated a pair with a single, Shock and Jacob Hancock each had an RBI single, and Dean Beamont had a pair of base hits, driving in a run.

North Central, 13-3
PIONEER: May 1 The North Central Lady Eagles and the Stryker Lady Panthers settled in for a round of BBC softball under an angry May 1 sky that brought high winds, cold temperatures and even colder rain. In what would normally be expected to be an offensive freeze out, the Lady Panthers bats went thermonuclear in the second and third innings to shock their hosts in five innings, 13-3. The Lady Eagles reached Stryker hurler Conner Varner for a run in the first, but their lead was short lived to say the least. The Lady Panthers exploded on North Central starter Reese Cogswell for six runs in the top of the second to take the lead for good. In the top of the third, the Lady Panthers greeted reliever Makayla Swank with another barrage of flying yellow leather. The hometown girls got a run back in the home half of the inning, but Stryker replied with a run in the top of the fourth. Needing two scores to evade the run rule, the Lady Eagles were only able to plate one, making the final score 13-3 after five innings. Varner pitched out of trouble and never gave up the big inning for the Lady Panthers. She went five innings and allowed 3 runs on 5 hits and a walk, fanning 2. Sierra Walters clocked a pair of doubles for Stryker, with Taylor Haines adding a pair of singles, and Varner, Connor Sullivan and Emily Cadwell each getting a base hit. Cogswell went 1 2/3 innings for the Lady Eagles and was tagged with 6 runs, 2 earned on 3 hits, 3 passes and 2 hit batters. Swank finished the game and was reached for 7 runs, 1 earned on 6 hits, 2 walks and 2 hit batters, fanning 6.

Pettisville finished 11th with 26 points, while Montpelier placed 15th with 7 points. An example of the toughness of the competition was found in the 100 meter dash. Paige Speelman of Stryker qualified in the primaries and the semifinals. In the finals, she finished fourth, a mere 0.60 seconds behind Tori Abdul of Tinora who broke the meet record with a time of 12.30 seconds. The competition level was so high in this event that a fraction of one second spelled the difference between a record-setting first place finish and fourth placefour runners across in less than a tick of the clock.

WEST UNITY: May 2 Six schools were in contention for the gold at the 2014 Hilltop Relays on May 2, but only two of those schools pulled into town at full team strength. While Stryker, North Central, Fayette, and the hosts from Hilltop made spirited cases for themselves, only the Edon Bombers and the Montpelier Locomotives were able to place combatants in each of the 13 events. The Boys in Bomber Blue came out of the gates fast and furious with the Locos in fourth place, but Montpelier would slowly climb the rankings until they passed the Fayette Eagles for second place. Trailing Edon by just two points after the 800 relays, the Locos made their move in the 3200 relays, taking a 54-50 lead with four events remaining. Edon won two of the final four events and placed second in the other two, but so did Montpelier. The attrition paid off as the Locos won the final event to give them an 82-78 win over Edon for the championship, with Fayette, who faded down the stretch, placing third with 54. North Central placed fourth with 24 points, with Stryker edging Hilltop for sixth, 17-16.

Pettisville Blackbirds Smash Records, Finish Fourth At The Edgerton Invite

EDGERTON: May 2 Nine teams composed the field at the 2014 Edgerton Invitational on May 2. The lone area representatives, the Pettisville Blackbirds, nailed down the fourth place finish while seeing limited duty. Despite missing almost half of the events, the Battling Birds made significant waves in the events in which they participated. Austin Dykstra took first place in the high jump, as did Dominic Frey in the 3200. Kyle Lantz set a new record of 4:40 in the 1600 for the win, and with Frey close behind in third, the Blackbirds picked up 16 points in that event alone. The 4 x 800 relay event, long a Pettisville specialty, also rewrote the record books. The team of Frey, Lantz, Dykstra, and Ethan Brakefield finished first with a record time of 8:46, a full twelve seconds ahead of second place Wayne Trace.

Wauseon Lady Indians Rewrite Edon Lady Bombers Capture The Record Book In Winning The Walker/Dilbone Relays The 2014 Hilltop Relays
CONTINUATION OF TRACK & FIELD ACTION
WEST UNITY: May 2 The Edon Lady Bombers prevailed in a May 2 Hilltop Relays event that will go down as one of significant parity. Of the six schools competing, the only one that did not collect at least one first place finish was the host Lady Cadets of Hilltop, a team so small they were unable to participate in 10 of the 13 events. Edon took first with 71 points, followed by Montpelier with 60 and Stryker with 52. North Central took fourth place with 40 points, with Fayette in fifth with 22 and the Lady Cadets finishing sixth with 5. The following first place finishes were posted by event and school Discus 1st Edon 191 8 Gutting and Parrish Shot 1st Edon 63 4 Gutting and Parrish High Jump 1st Montpelier 8 4 Erickson and Blake Long Jump 1st North Central 28 2.25 Kemarly and Shaw Pole Vault 1st Edon 13 6 Riter and Joice Distance Medleys 1st Stryker 25:58.9 Oberlin, Whitman, Graber and Paxton Shuttle Hurdles 1st Edon 1:20.8 Marshall, Riter, Ziko and Parrish 800 Relays 1st Stryker 1:53.8 Spielman, Brier, Oberlin and Rupp 3200 Relays 1st Stryker 11:47.5 Oberlin, Graber, Whitman and Paxton 400 Relays 1st North Central 54.8 Schofield, Shaw, Kemarly and VanDeVoorde Sprint/Distance Medleys 1st Stryker 7:22.2 Oberlin, Whitman, Graber and Rupp 1600 Relays 1st Stryker 4:32.9 Spielman, Brier, Oberlin and Rupp Sprint Medleys 1st Stryker 2:10.3 Spielman, Brier, Paxton and Rupp ARCHBOLD: May 2 Hosted by a potent home team and featuring a total of four NWOAL squads, the Archbold Walker/Dilbone Relays featured tough competition all around. Of the seven teams present though, there were none better than the eventual 2014 champions, the Wauseon Lady Indians. The Lady Indians dominated the event with a combination of team strength and overall postseason-ready talent, finishing with 110 points, 20 points better than the runners up from Bowling Green, and 33.5 points better than the closest NWOAL competition, the third place Lady Streaks of Archbold. The Lady Indians not only won the event, they broke a meet record in the process. The seven year old record of Anthony Wayne in the 1600 Sprint Medleys went by the wayside, and now bears the name of Wauseon. The team of Halen Mealer, Haley Archibeque, Seneca Wyse and Taylor Vernot placed first with a record time of 4:18.90, shattering the previously longstanding record by 6.1 seconds. Being that the oldest members of the team are juniors, they have a chance of eclipsing their own record when the event reconvenes in 2015not a pleasant outlook for the competition.

Archbold Takes The 2014 Walker/Dilbone Relays By A Mere Four Points Over Wauseon
ARCHBOLD: May 2 Seven teams took part in the 2014 Archbold Walker/Dilbone Relays on May 2. Of those seven teams, four were culled from the NWOAL, with hometown Archbold hosting the Patrick Henry Patriots, the Liberty Center Tigers and the Wauseon Indians. As the events of the day progressed, it became apparent that the real slug fest would be between two of the NWOAL competitors, the Tribe and their hosts. In the end, it was the hometown boys hanging on by the skins of their collective teeth to fend off their conference rivals by a razor thin four-point margin. Archbold amassed 102 team points to take first at their event, with the Indians still within striking range in second with 98 points.

Archbold Blue Streaks Scalped By The Wauseon Indians In April 29th Nets
WAUSEON: April 29 The Wauseon Indians traveled to the home of their NWOAL rivals from the west, the Archbold Blue Streaks, on April 29. The Streaks found themselves at the business end of a conference hatchet job as the Tribe posted a 4-1 win. A JV matchup was also staged in singles play. That match saw Chris Yackee of Wauseon taking out Michael Short of Archbold. The following results are by match Varsity Singles Tyler Shipley took out Jannik Fritz (Archbold) 6-3 and 6-4 Alex Wenger defeated Jereme Rupp (Archbold) 4-6, 6-3 and 6-3 Levi Rees dispatched Lucas Rupp (Archbold) 6-2 and 6-1 Varsity Doubles Zach Spadafore / Fernando Canales bumped off Jesse Felix / Levi Strawn (Archbold) 6-0, 6-7 (5-7) and 6-0 Derek Zimmerman / Colin Tedrow fell to Alex Short / Riley Krueger (Archbold) 2-6 and 3-6 JV Singles Chris Yackee defeated Michael Short (Archbold) 8-5
