Lake’s Mark Emans Press, state coach of the year By J. Patrick Eaken Press Sports Editor sports@presspublications.com Lake first-year football coach Mark Emans was voted Ohio’s Division IV CoCoach of the Year by the Associated Press, so it comes as little surprise that 10 area coaches and 10 media members voted Emans the Alan Miller Jewelers All-Press COY. Under Emans, Lake finished 8-3, losing in the playoffs to No. 1 seed Caledonia River Valley (11-1), 36-25, despite a second half comeback attempt that came up short. The Flyers, the No. 8 seed in Region 12, were making the third playoff appearance in school history. Emans, an Eastwood graduate and former linebacker at Bowling Green State University who won a state championship while coaching at Wauseon, says he is pleased to be back in Wood County. “I am so happy to be a part of the Lake school system,” Emans said. “I appreciate the opportunity to lead their team. The players, the staff, and the community all played a big part in our success.” Emans’ 5-foot-11, 200 pound senior middle linebacker Nick Walsh won All-Press Defensive Player of the Year in close voting over seven others — Genoa’s University of Wisconsin bound senior lineman Michael Deiter, Genoa senior linebacker David Nutter, Northwood defensive end Kyle Corbitt, Genoa junior lineman Blake Traver, Clay senior linebacker Logan Davies, Woodmore senior safety Evan Ulinski, and Gibsonburg senior lineman Jacob Auld. Walsh finished the year with 125 tackles, including 29 for a loss. Often called “Bruce” by his teammates, it’s the energy with which he plays that draws much of the acclaim. “Nick is a really good leader, and he’s the high-energy guy for us, who leads both vocally and by example,” said first team All-Press quarterback and teammate Jared Rettig. “He’s that guy who is always pumping you up, and going crazy. He’s the last guy in the weight room every day and he’s always pushing himself to the limit, which makes him a great example to the younger kids. “Personally, I think I try to lead more by example than in any other way, because I like to go out there and just do it instead of saying it. But the guys…they respond really well to Nick’s leadership. That’s a great intangible Nick has.” David Nutter follows in his older brother’s Kyle’s shoes, taking the Offensive Player of the Year honor. Nutter, a team captain, ran for 1,514 yards, averaging nine per carry, while scoring 20 rushing touchdowns and two receiving touchdowns. He is first team All-Ohio, first team All-Northern Buckeye Conference two years in a row, along with NBC Back of

Also getting votes for AllPress Offensive POY were Rettig, Northwood back Dominik Bermejo, Woodmore quarterback Jake Matwiecjzcyk, Clay receiver Kyle Row, and Genoa all-purpose back Coach Mark Emans Casey Gose. For the All-Press COY award, also getting votes were veteran Northwood coach Ken James, Genoa coach Tim Spiess, and Woodmore coach Britton Devier. James and Spiess’ accomplishments this year are obvious — both led teams to league championships and the playoffs. Devier may have gone a bit under the radar. Woodmore had its first winning record in 10 years, set 38 school records, scored 380 points (compared to 189 in 2010), had 4,146 yards of total offense (compared to 3,013 in 2010), scored 50 touchdowns (compared to 25 in 2010), and averaged 201 yards rushing and 214 yards passing per game. He has coached quarterbacks to 2,000

yard-plus passing seasons and 800-plus yard rushing seasons three years in a row. Plus, he means much more than that to many of his players. “He wants us to develop as a football team, but more importantly, as individual people and in the classroom,” said 2012 Woodmore graduate Coleton Bihn.

His average feature finishing position was 5th Following are the rest of the top 10 in the sports compacts: 10. Andy Earnhart – Andy competed in 7 events in 2013. He recorded a seasonbest sixth on June 8th. His average feature finishing position was 9th. 9. Chevy Farmer – Chevy competed in 9 features in 2013. He recorded a seasonbest fourth on Sept. 13th.

Amanda Shammo – Lost on the final night by one point. She competed in all 11 events in 2013. She scored a win on May 18th and had a pair of runner-up finishes. Her average feature finishing position was 5th. The new division at Fremont Speedway in 2013 just didn’t work out. The sports compact division – four-cylinder, front wheel drive vehicles for teens – will not be back in 2014. “We tried to create an entry level divi-

sion for teens that was inexpensive where they could learn. Unfortunately, the division did not grow throughout the season and there were issues that made it cost-prohibitive for the track to continue to support it,” said Fremont Speedway Promoter Rich Farmer. “In hindsight, maybe a division for a vehicle that really wasn’t designed for the rigors of a dirt track for kids as young as 12 wasn’t right at this time. We encourage the older teens to look into the 305 sprints and dirt trucks to gain valuable seat time.” Fremont Speedway will continue with the 410 winged sprints, 305 sprints and dirt trucks in 2014. “We worked very hard to make our schedule not ‘regular nights’ in 2013. I think we gave the fans a different theme… a different angle every night and we are working hard to do that in 2014,” added Farmer.

No state title, but Weiland has no regrets By Yaneek Smith Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com A state title, second team Associated Press All-Ohio honors, All-Three Rivers Athletic Conference, first team Alan Miller Jewelers All-Press at receiver and defensive back, all-district honors and memories for a lifetime. That’s what Genoa native Derich Weiland will take with him from his time playing football at Central Catholic. His senior year, Weiland was instrumental in leading the Fighting Irish to a 12-1 record, a TRAC title, a spot in the Division III regional final and a ranking of No. 2 in the final AP poll. On the All-Ohio team, Weiland joined teammates DeShone Kizer (first team), the state’s co-offensive player of the year at quarterback, J’Quan Fisher (second team defensive line), Chris Green (second team linebacker) and Ramone Miles (third team offensive line). Weiland, who also returned punts, earned spots for that role on the All-TRAC and all-district teams. Weiland chose to transfer to Central after attending Genoa Middle School in the eighth grade. Prior to that, he attended Woodmore Schools. “My dad worked with a guy that went to Central Catholic and he told my dad that I should check (out the school),” Weiland said. “I went there for a day and shadowed a guy and got an idea of what it would be like to go to school there. The school, the students, the teachers — everyone was welcoming and friendly. It was awesome; they treated me like I was a student there. I’m fortunate to have gone there.” The most exhilarating experience for Weiland was winning the Division II state championship his junior season when the Irish defeated then-defending state champion Trotwood-Madison in a thriller, 16-12. “It was a great experience,” he said. “I remember going out onto the field before the game and looking up at the crowd — there were 15,000 to 16,000 people there. I remember somebody asking me if I was nervous and I thought, ‘I shouldn’t be nervous in the 15th game of the season.’ “I was very blessed to play in that game. It was a memorable experience. It was shock, joy and happiness all at the same time. I remember riding home on the bus and everybody was so happy. I don’t think I got home until 3 a.m. We had several thousand people at the pep rally the next day.” In all, his three years on varsity saw the Irish advance to the postseason three times, win a TRAC title and go a combined 34-6, including 8-2 in the playoffs. For his career, Weiland finished with 110 catches for 1,350 yards, both third alltime in school history, and amassed 3,298 all-purpose yards with 15 TDs. His stats put him in the elite category reserved for the likes of Dane Sanzenbacher

Woodmore has eight freshmen on its varsity squad, and the Wildcats have several wrestlers who might bounce between two different weight classes early in the season, but coach Dane Bonnigson still has an ace wrestler in senior 113-pounder Evan Ulinski. Last year Ulinski became Woodmore’s fourth all-time state runner-up when he took second at 106 pounds at the Division III state tournament in Columbus. Ulinski, who was 49-4 a year ago after losing the state title match in overtime, may also wrestle at 120 this season. “Obviously my expectation is I want to get a healthy, successful season out of him,” Bonnigson said. “I’m sure he set his goals for the top this season. You would think he wants to get there this year and win it. He’s working very hard every day and he’s a great kid to have on the team. He is a good leader and he keeps everyone else focused and heading in the right direction.” Concerning those eight freshmen, Bonnigson said, “It’s a pretty solid class. I’m excited about them. They’re going to be green, but they’re some talented kids. I’m hoping they step in and contribute right away.” The Northern Buckeye Conference coaches picked Woodmore to finish second behind Genoa in the conference title race this season.

Sophomores key to Lake’s wrestling success By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com

Central Catholic senior receiver Derich Weiland cuts right after catching a pass in the Irish lost to Clyde. (Press photo by Scott Grau) (’07) and Ryne Robinson (’03), who had stellar collegiate careers at Ohio State and Miami (Ohio), respectively, before playing in the NFL. Sanzenbacher, currently a backup for the Cincinnati Bengals, has five catches for 54 yards this season. He helped lead Central coach Greg Dempsey and the Irish to the program’s first state title in ’05. This was Weiland’s most successful season, one that saw him catch 43 passes for 600 yards, run 40 times for 250 yards and account for 1,100 all-purpose yards and three touchdowns. Unfortunately, Central, which had aspirations of winning back-to-back state titles, saw its season end in the regional finals in a heartbreaking 42-41 loss to the Clyde Fliers. “Coach Dempsey talked with us about the game,” Weiland said. “It wasn’t the way we wanted to go out. He told us that he was very proud of us and thanked us for coming out and for the practices and the games. Then he pulled the seniors aside and spoke with us about the four years — it’s something we’ll never forget. “I was fortunate to play in 10 playoff games. That was a blessing; it was a great ride. It was great to see that support from our fans. It was tough to lose, but we know the sun will rise tomorrow. We had some great memories.” Weiland is also a standout in baseball. He hits leadoff and is the team’s closer on the mound. He comes from a line of great athletes. His two older brothers, Billy and Chris, competed at Woodmore and St. Francis

DeSales, respectively. Billy, a 2001 Woodmore graduate, was a state qualifying wrestler, going 52-3 during his senior year and finishing as the state runner-up in his weight class. Chris, a senior at Bowling Green State University now, played football at Woodmore for two years before transferring to St. Francis, where he became the only running back in school history to rush for 1,000 yards in back-to-back seasons before graduating in ’08. He was set to play football at the University of Toledo under Tom Amstutz, but things changed when Amstutz left his coaching position at UT in ’08. Chris then transferred and had success playing football at the University of Toronto before getting injured and deciding to transfer to BGSU. Unfortunately, NCAA transfer rules prohibited him from playing for the Falcons, but he is awaiting tryouts for Canadian Football League teams in the winter and NFL teams in March. Despite being a stellar athlete in two sports, Derich is also an excellent student who maintains a 4.3 GPA and is ranked in the top 20 of his class. “My parents always told me to keep my grades up,” Weiland said. “School came before sports. (Central Catholic) was tough academically. I’m glad I made the move.” Academics will certainly play a role in where he chooses to go to college. Weiland currently has an offer to play football at Kent State University and is awaiting word from the University of Pennsylvania about possibly playing for the Quakers.

Ulinski returns; Wildcats picked to finish 2nd By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com

DECEMBER 9, 2013

“Genoa’s got a tough team,” Bonnigson said. “I think the rest of the league, everybody’s got talent on their team this year. It’s going to be up for grabs. I’m flattered that they picked us second, but that doesn’t mean anything if we don’t wrestle up to their expectations. I expect a lot of these guys will. It should be an exciting year in the league.” Bonnigson lists several individuals as potential starters in the bulk of the weight classes. He said he will know more after the Wildcats open the season Saturday at the Bellevue Invitational. “That’s not a bad problem to have, having pretty competent wrestlers at most positions,” the coach said. “I’m excited to now know for sure. They will have some competitive wrestle-offs, and that translates into some wins.” Junior Thomas Schnitker, the NBC champ at 113 last year and a returning district qualifier, could compete at 106, 113 or 120 this season. Freshman Jacob Amstutz could also start at 106. “Thomas is a hard-nosed kid, a hard worker,” Bonnigson said. “He’s very persistent, just constantly going after things and he never gives up. That pays off for him.” Freshmen Brandon Cowell and Conor Emch are competing for a starting nod at 120, while Cowell, Emch, junior Josh Cowell or sophomore Sean Small will compete for the spot at 126. Freshman Skyler Brown will be at 132, followed by either junior Grant Volschow or freshman Mason Beachler at 138.

Beachler could also start at 145, according to Bonnigson. Tony Rozzi, a senior returning district qualifier who won 28 matches last year, will start at 152. “He really stepped up his game last year,” Bonnigson said, “and he looks even better this year.” Junior Seth Gaghen and freshman Ben Wilt are penciled in to compete at 160 pounds. “Seth won 30 matches for us last year and had a solid showing at the district tournament,” Bonnigson said. “He grew a ton this year. He’s much bigger than he was last year. He’s looking solid.” Freshman Ben Wilt and junior Joe Flores will wrestle at 170 and 182 pounds, respectively, while senior Spencer Linke is at 195. Linke was an NBC runner-up at 195 last year and is a four-year starter. “He is another real tough kid,” Bonnigson said. “He always has a positive attitude. He’s been with us as a starter for four years now, so he should hopefully have a good season as well.” Henry Flores, a senior, is at 220 and junior Rito Alvear is wrestling at heavyweight. “I have seen a lot of positive things, but I haven’s seen a lot of these kids at the varsity level, the freshmen and people who didn’t wrestle last year,” Bonnigson said. “I’m exicted to see them against competition this weekend and where they’re at. I’m optimistic at this point.”

Lake wrestling coach Tom Jackson knows what he’s getting with returning district qualifiers Damon Keister, Matt Church, Marcel Bryan and Damon Plummber. What the 14th-year coach anticipates is that the Flyers’ success or failure as a team could rest on a promising group of sophomores, including 106-pounder Rafael Garcia. “I have three or four sophomores who have a lot of potential, but they saw very limited time last year,” Jackson said. “They had some nice wins at the jayvee level and it will be interesting to see how they do this year. They’re going to be a key to our season. I know what our returners can do, and the upperclassmen. The sophomores wrestled lot of freshman and jayvee matches, and if they can be successful, that will complement the guys with experience. They have potential to be successful. Rafael will be one of them.” Keister, a senior who will compete at 106 and 113 pounds, finished 38-8 last season. Church, a junior, will be at 120. “Damon’s a hard worker,” Jackson said. “I think he’s driven and he has some goals. He’ll work hard to reach those goals. Matt Church and Keister are workout partners and they push each other and keep each other working hard. They get into some pretty good scraps. I like (Church’s) outlook for the season as well.” Bryan is moving up from 145 to 152 pounds this season and has the potential to have a very successful year, Jackson said. “Marcel is a very good athlete,” the coach said. “He plays football (running back) and he’s very goal-oriented. He has a goal in mind and he is working hard to obtain that goal. He’s got a lot of athletic ability and a lot of potential.” Plummber is in the group of talented sophomores, but the 170-pounder has plenty of experience at the varsity level after advancing to districts as a freshman. “We called him the Dark Horse at the end of last season,” Jackson said. “Going into sectionals he only had five wins as a freshman, wrestling at 160170, which is pretty senior-dominated. He had a nice sectional tournament and ended up beating some kids he probably wasn’t supposed to. We’re hoping that carries over into this year. He’s one of those guys where the match is never over with him.” The Flyers will have open weight classes at 126, 220 and 285. “I really don’t have anybody bigger than 195,” said Jackson, who will start junior Aaron Putman at 132 and sophomores Nick Encalado and Troy Ranes at 138 and 145, respectively. Seniors Willie Hall and Tom Pack will compete for spots at 182 and 195 pounds. “Willie is one of these guys who came out as a freshman and has really improved,” Jackson said. “He hasn’t had a lot of success, but he’s stepped into a leadership role. He’s a quiet leader and works really hard and leads by example. He has shown some physical maturity, so hopefully that will translate to some more success on the mat this year. He’s come a really long way. “Pack has had some injuries that have kept him from seeing a lot of action. His senior year, he’s got it set in his mind he’s going to do this and we’re excited to have him back. He’s a talented wrestler and he’s got some potential.” “I want to see a good, gradual improvement throughout the season from everybody and really come on strong toward the end of the year when things count a little more,” Jackson said. “We’re going to wrestle our tails off to finish in the top half (of the NBC). Top two or three is our goal, but it’s not going to be easy. The league was young last year, but it’s coming on.”

DECEMBER 9, 2013

Genoa’s place-kicking in good hands under Pickards By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Cody Pickard had a short list of goals heading into the 2013 high school football season. Goal No. 1 was to help the Genoa Comets repeat as Northern Buckeye Conference champions. Number two was to help the Comets win a state title, and the third goal was to earn first-team All-Ohio honors in Division IV. Genoa went unbeaten and won the NBC before losing at home in the first round of the playoffs, but goal No. 3 for Pickard came true this week when he was named the first-team All-Ohio kicker in D-IV for the second straight year. He is an overwhelming choice to be on the first team Alan Miller Jewelers All-Press Team in voting by area coaches and media. “I’m glad I did it,” said Pickard, a junior. “My brother (Tyler) got it his sophomore through senior year, so I challenged myself to be better than him, to get it my three years, too. We always joke around, like who is better. If you ask him, he’ll say I’m better. I don’t want to sound cocky, but I think I could take him.” Tyler Pickard was a three-time All-Ohio kicker at Genoa, but the torch was passed to the younger brother in 2012. Last year Cody connected on 12 of 15 field goals, including six field goals in a win over Fostoria to set an all-division state record for field goals in one game. Pickard (5-8, 170), who also punts – Genoa only punted seven times this season – and starts at safety on defense, converted 15 of 18 field goals this season and was good on 64 of 67 extra points for a total of 109 points. That last figure is tied for second in Ohio’s all-time single-season record book for a kicker. “Cody is a great kid, very humble and very quiet,” Genoa coach Tim Spiess said. “You don’t even know he’s in the room unless you hear him giggling. We have some game changers - Casey Gose being one, and Cody being the other because of his kicking ability. He is a weapon. When we’re

Genoa place kicker, Cody Pickard boots a field goal in the Comets’ win over Waite. (Press file photo by Harold hamilton/ HEHphots. smugmug. com) driving, once we approach the 30-yard line we know we’re in position to score. He has great hip flexibility and explosion. A lot of it is the work he puts in in the weight room. For his body weight, he’s one of our stronger kids.” Pickard said his older brother “is the person who helped me the most” with kicking. Cody played on the same soccer team with Tyler up through age 12. “When he was a senior in high school, I was a freshman and he already had all-state (honors) twice,” Cody said. “Being behind him and him correcting me and telling me the right way, it’s a big opportunity because somebody has already been through where you’re at.” Cody broke one of Tyler’s school records in a game against Port Clinton back in September, when he booted a 53-yard field goal in the second half. Tyler had the

school record of 48 yards. Cody also had three other field goals of over 40 yards this season. “All around, I think this year was probably my best year,” Pickard said, adding that his mental approach before the 53-yard kick against Port Clinton was the same as if he was lining up for an extra point or a 30yard field goal. “From that far, you have to keep same approach,” he said. “If you overkick it, you’re going to pull the ball or not hit it square or come up short. The biggest thing is staying consistent. It was real cool when that happened. It was a great atmosphere. I felt the fans’ support and you feel your whole team behind you. That was a great moment. I thought I had the distance. It was all just about going through your progression and not overthinking it.” Pickard, who also plays baseball for

the Comets, said his goal next season is to attempt a field goal from 55-60 yards. Anyone who has witnessed Pickard’s leg strength won’t doubt that he just may have a 60-yarder in him. “Hard work is a lot of it,” he said. “(Kicking is) one reason why I quit basketball. My sophomore year, once I found out I got all-state, I wanted to get it again. I probably lifted five days a week, and I go out and kick. Right now I kick two times a week. It’s a lot of work and a lot of reps. You want to get everything down and get better the next year. I know I have the leg. I just try to get my accuracy down and let my hips and leg do all the work.” Pickard added that he wants to kick at the next level. “Kicking in college is my goal,” he said. “That’s what I’m working toward.”

Oak Harbor wrestlers young, but looking to reload By Yaneek Smith Press Contributing Writers sports@presspublications.com Since 2007, the Oak Harbor wrestling team has established itself as a program perpetually in the hunt for Sandusky Bay Conference titles, individual state championships, and top 10 team team finishes at the state meet. If their performance last week in the Oak Harbor Invitational is any indication, this year could be another in the long line of the Rockets’ success. Four Oak Harbor wrestlers finished with perfect 5-0 records as the Rockets finished second out of 12 teams. T.J. Lawrence, a state placer last season, won all five of his matches at 285 pounds to lead the way, followed by Rhett Petersen (132), Dylan Mansor (120) and Bruce Hrynciw (106), all of whom finished 5-0 and finished first in their respective weight classes. Devon Riley (113), who wrestled in two matches, went undefeated, too.

Seven other wrestlers, Jacob Huston (126), Mike Osbourne (138), Jeremy Balboa (145), Ben Petersen (152), Kian Thompson (160), Brody Hennig (170) and Ben Bergman (182) finished in second place with 4-1 marks. As a team, the Rockets finished second behind perennial power Lakewood St. Edward, which has won three straight Division I state titles. Fremont Ross was third, followed by Alliance, New Lexington and Genoa. “I was very happy (with our finish),” 22nd-year coach George Bergman said. “We lost to St. Edward, which had their ‘B’ team, but they had six of their No. 1 wrestlers. Our wrestlers did really well — they competed hard, went after it and had a nice first match.” Bergman credits his club with their work during the offseason, most notably their second place finish at the AAU Scholastic Dual Meet National Championships, a.k.a., the Disney Duals, over the summer.

During his tenure at Oak Harbor, Coach Bergman has built up one of the state’s best wrestling programs, and last season was another banner year for the school as the Rockets finished seventh in Division II behind a state championship at 170 pounds from Luke Cramer and a fifth place finish at 152 from Jared Chambers. Unfortunately, Cramer and Chambers, along with three other key seniors, have graduated, leaving a void that must be filled if the Rockets intend to compete at the level they did last season. Cramer and Chambers are currently wrestling at the collegiate level at Ashland and Tiffin universities, respectively.) Those other three seniors, Alec Bowlick, Josh Chambers and Hunter Gresh, were instrumental in leading Oak Harbor in 2013 — Bowlick was one win away from placing at state, Chambers was a district qualifier and many believe Gresh had a good shot at qualifying for state before suffering an injury late in the year. For the Rockets to have any shot at duplicating last

season’s success, they’ll need contributions from a number of wrestlers who were previously under the radar. “We’re young,” Bergman said. “We have no seniors. We had the highest finish at the Disney Duals and we’ll try not to have any holes this year. Luckily, we have some depth. You have to have depth, especially if you get injured.” How the Rockets perform in December will go a long way in determining the direction of the season. In addition to the Bellevue Invite, Oak Harbor will face Perkins and Clay, both of which have state recognized programs, and compete in the Medina Invitational. Bergman sees Perkins, Clyde and Edison competing with the Rockets for the top spots in the conference. He views the Pirates, who edged the Fliers for the league title last year, as the favorites. “Perkins had seven kids that were in the match to go to state last year,” Bergman said. “They have a very nice junior and senior class.”

Clay hockey team working hard through adversity By Chris Schmidbauer Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com It’s no secret that life is full of challenges, and no one knows this better than the Clay Eagles hockey team. But seeing how the Eagles work through those challenges is what makes them truly inspirational. Mike Heck, Clay coach, has had to deal with a lot in his short tenure with the Eagles hockey team. He has seen the team struggle through tough times on the ice and off it. From a debilitating injury to a player, to the death of a player, Heck and his Eagles have worked together to support one another. “The initial response to those two tragedies was an immediate sense of family,� Heck said. “It brought the players and coaches together with a special bond that most teams don’t possess.� The Clay hockey team has built on that bond, and has journeyed into the 20132014 season with the same goal as always: play as a team. “Our goal for this season is to become a solidified unit, to start trusting one another on the ice and start playing like a team instead of 17 individuals,� Heck said. “We are getting off to a slow start, we have a lot of talent individually but are lacking in team play.� After their first seven games, the Eagles are 2-4-1 with wins over neighboring Lake in the season’s first game, and another win came over Cincinnati Elder after playing in a tournament over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend in Columbus. The team is led by a trio of returning senior captains — Andrew Pappas, Jake Woodrum and Derek Berg. All three have been instrumental in making sure the Eagles started the season strong, starting in

Clay co-captains Dylan Berg, Andrew Pappas, and Jake Woodrum. The Eagles play home games at the Ice House on Alexis Road. (Press photo by J. Patrick Eaken) the preseason which began at the beginning of November. “They have been doing a nice job of leading the team by organizing pre-season off-ice conditioning, running our captain’s skates, and in general, being a positive influence on and off the ice,� Heck said. Another group Heck has been looking to are a group of seven sophomores. The coaches have big expectations for them to improve upon an 11-22-1 record from a year ago. Six of the seven are beginning

their second year within the program, and the Eagles are counting on them to help achieve the goal of winning a White Division title in the Northwest Hockey Conference. “They are the backbone of our program,� he said, “I can honestly say that about them. They need to continue to get better and improve as a team for the next two years.� Improving is no easy task though. The team gets little ice time during the week

to practice. The lack of practice time has hamstrung the program when it comes to marked improvement over the last several years. The Eagles practice just two days of the week, typically on Monday and Tuesday. That often leaves two or three days in between Clay’s last practice and their next game. With so little ice time, it’s hard enough for Clay to compete in their own division, but it is often made more difficult when the Eagles have to face local hockey powerhouses like St. Francis DeSales, St. John’s Jesuit and Sylvania Northview during the tournament. “We are burdened with the fact that we only get on the ice to practice for 2½ hours per week, therefore with the majority of our players only having one year of high school experience and the lack of practice ice, it makes it almost impossible to compete against teams of a caliber such as the teams in the Red division,â€? Heck said. In addition to focusing on continued improvement, the Eagles have also found ways to give back in memory of Cody Van Hersett, and in honor of Kyle Cannon. The team has been hosting free hockey clinics in memory of Van Hersett, who was killed in an auto accident almost two years ago. The team has organized and hosted a holiday hockey tournament which benefitted Cannon, who was paralyzed during a game back in 2008. Despite the early mixed results and all the obstacles in the Eagles way though, Heck and the Clay hockey program are still trying to achieve the goal of becoming one cohesive unit, but with the season already underway, the time to gel is now. “Once we start playing like a team, I am sure that we will be a leading contender to win our division, but the season is under way so it has to happen soon,â€? Heck said.

For family, Raiders playing for cousin Tim Eaken By J. Patrick Eaken Press Sports Editor sports@presspublications.com Tim Eaken was a 6-foot-4, 250 pound lineman who played football for southern Paulding County school Wayne Trace, a member of the Green Meadows Conference. Tim, my first cousin, would have graduated from WT the same year I graduated from Eastwood (1977), but that never happened. Tim was on his way to a potential college football career when he was killed in an industrial accident the summer before his senior year began. Then-WT athletic director and football coach Leman Saylor says he remembers Tim wearing his farm overhauls to school. However, a family friend at neighboring Convoy Crestview once told me, “Tim was the meanest football player I ever saw,� which I took as a compliment. Wayne Trace is not one of the schools we cover at The Press, but I promised another cousin, Ottawa Hills Superintendent Dr. Kevin Miller, that I was going to write about Tim this week. Why should I? Because Friday, for the first time in WT school history, the Raiders were going up against 14-0 Kirtland for a Division VI state football championship. One of this year’s Raiders is Tim “T.J.� Blackmore, who is the grandson of Tim Eaken’s sister, Marcella (Eaken) Blackmore, also a first cousin of Dr. Miller and myself. T.J. is a 6-foot-5, 215 pound offensive lineman and defensive end for the Raiders, which were 13-1 heading into Friday’s contest at Canton’s Fawcett Stadium. Tim and Marcella's father, Erwin, is the brother of my late father, John Eaken,

The Press Box a Van Wert County native who became guidance counselor at Eastwood from 1964-84. Dr. Miller’s late mother, Carlotta, is Erwin and John’s sister, but they are just three of 11 siblings in their immediate family. When Tim was killed, Erwin and wife Harriet did Tim Eaken their part in helping move the football field from its original home at Payne Elementary to the high school on U.S. 127. WT had just consolidated from three smaller districts a few years earlier and football was new to the community. The district put Tim’s name on a sign at the field, which I visited when Wayne Trace hosted its first playoff game. “As far as Tim is concerned, I want to verify that officially it was titled ‘Raider Field in Memory of Tim Eaken,’� Dr. Miller emailed. “When Tim died, Harriet and Erwin gave money to complete the construction of the football field.� Dr. Miller also is a Wayne Trace graduate and made the trip with his family to Canton to see the game Friday. For the Raiders to reach the state final, they defeat-

Christmas is around the corner!

ed Colonel Crawford, 52-28, Tinora, 40-7, Ada, 68-14, and Mechanicsburg, 57-10 in the state semifinal. Regular season wins were over Paulding, 61-20, Otsego, 65-0, Crestview, 54-41, Ayersville, 40-6, Holgate, 80-0, Edgerton, 45-0, Hicksville, 43-7, Antwerp, 46-17, and Fairview, 26-6. Ironically, the only loss was to Tinora, 27-16, which the Raiders avenged in the playoffs. “I’m pretty excited about WT in the state finals this week and I’m taking the (four sons) boys and (wife) Carla to the game,� Dr. Miller emailed. “I’ve been listening to their playoff games on the Internet (WKSD out of Van Wert). “For years, we were a basketball school — never imagined in my wildest dreams that something like this would happen in football. They’ve been absolutely dominant in their playoff games, but Kirtland has state experience — maybe that means the Raiders will be hungrier for a title.� Tim is not the only cousin on the team — I have four others on my mother’s side — 6-4, 180 pound senior wide receiver/defensive back David Sinn, 5-9, 150 freshman WR/DB Jon Sinn, 6-4, 215 junior OL/DE Hank Sinn, and 5-10, 165 sophomore OL/ DE Clint Sinn. As you can guess, my mother Karen’s maiden name was Sinn, which she admits resulted in a lot of bad humor while growing up. So, there are five cousins on the team, and there could be more, so you can count on me having watched the game live on SportsTime Ohio. Dr. Miller says there is even more irony surrounding this team, which is coached by Bill Speller, reaching the state final. “Certainly, this team heading to state is carrying the banner of many, many foot-

ball players who came before them‌what a great honor,â€? Dr. Miller wrote. “Actually, two of the assistant coaches, Mike Speice (senior quarterback Colby Speice’s father) and Kenny Speice played football at WT when they went to school there. Now, they both have boys playing on this team. “Brian Gerber, superintendent at the Western Buckeye ESC, has a son, (Jake, a senior wide receiver) playing on the team. Brian was integral in getting a football program started for the elementary grades — now it’s paying off. Tom McCord, assistant coach, was our head coach for many years — won WT’s first GMC title. Now he’s in a support role, but what a great experience for him. Anyway, lots of interesting stories surrounding this team’s trip to the state tourney.â€?
