LINCOLNVIEW LANCERS
Startling lineup returns for Fishpaw’s Lancer baseballers
BY JIM METCALFE
DHI Media Sports Editor
jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com
MIDDLE POINT — Last season’s Lin-
colnview baseball crew was a relatively
youthful club with only two seniors on the
roster.
Eric Fishpaw’s unit suffered as a result,
going 11-12 in 2017.
He hopes this year’s Lancer baseballers
will reap the benefits of an experienced
crew as he looks to add a lot more to the left
side of his 3-year mark of 30-43.
The top Lancer back has to be 3-year
letterman senior Chayten Overholt (senior
shortstop), a first-team All-Northwest Con-
ference pick, as well as picking up All-Ohio
Honorable-Mention accolades (tied for all-
time record for hits in a season).
Also back is 2-year letterwinner Jaden
Youtsey (junior pitcher/shortstop/third base,
an NWC pick as a sophomore), second-team
All-NWC sophomore Gavin Carter (pitch-
er/shortstop/third base), honorable-mention
NWC pick Sam Myers (junior outfielder),
3-year letterwinning senior Ethan Parsons
(pitcher), 2-year letterwinner Ethan Kemler
(6-3 junior left-handed pitcher/outfielder),

outfielder), veteran Thad Walker (junior
