Names change, but Eastwood’s goals remain the same By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Many of the names and faces change every year, but the goals always remain the same for Eastwood’s boys and girls track programs. “Our goal will be to win the league first, then to get as many (athletes) to regional and state as we can,” said Brian Sabo, the Eagles’ boys coach. His wife, Nikki, who is Eastwood’s girls coach, said the same thing. Their programs have both won 17 straight conference championships. Last year, the boys won district and regional titles before taking fifth at the Division III state meet. Eastwood’s girls took third at the district meet and was a regional runnerup in D-II. The boys program moved up to D-II this season. “That’s OK,” Brian Sabo said. “We only dropped to Division III for two years. The district is what’s really different. The Oak Harbor district for D-II is phenomenal and the regionals are very similar, maybe a little tougher. What I like the most is our girls and guys are together at regionals, which makes it easier on everybody.” The Eagles return one of the top female track and field athletes in the state in senior Katelyn Meyer, who placed third in the high jump and fourth in the long jump at last year’s state meet. She also qualified in the 100-meter hurdles and 4x100 relay. “She’s ahead of where she was a year ago, especially in the long jump,” Nikki Sabo said. “Her speed is right there and her hurdle times are ahead of last year. She’s on track to make some noise again.” The Eagles’ girls beat Woodmore and Otsego on Tuesday and also placed fifth out of eight teams at the Whitmer Gold “W” Relays. Eastwood also won its own invitational for the second straight year. “They’re pretty gritty,” Nikki Sabo said of her team. “They have been taking advan-

We’ve had four meets canceled, and that’s a lot in track and field. When they have competed, they’ve gone after it. There is an air of confidence.” Sophomore Jamie Schmeltz returns on the 4x100 relay, and she also runs on the 4x200 relay with senior Nichole Swartz. Junior Shaunna Jubenville is a returning state qualifier in the long jump. Abby Schroeder, a senior who was on the state-qualifying 4x100 and 4x200 relays last year, will miss the season with a knee injury. Schmeltz and Swartz are the Eagles’ top sprinters along with senior Jessica Lang, junior Allie Lucas and sophomore Shelby Getz, who also hurdles. Senior Lauren Welker, who won the NBC title in

cross country last fall, leads the way in the distance events. “She’s had some great times compared to the last two years,” Nikki Sabo said. “She’s dropped almost 30-40 seconds in the mile and two-mile. She’s having a great season.” Eastwood also expects to get field-event points from senior throwers Cassandra Clay and Makahlen Hiser. “The throwers have really improved from a year ago,” Nikki Sabo said. “They were young last year, so they have another year under their belts. They’re doing much better this year and really helping our team out.” Eastwood’s boys team has several returning state qualifiers in senior Isaac Emahiser (three sprint relays), senior

Cooper Comes (4x100, 4x200), and the 4x800 relay of juniors Jack Chappuies and Alex Boyer and senior Billy Barker. The Eagles’ top thrower last year, senior Dalton Andrews, will miss the season with a knee injury suffered in football. Emahiser and Comes are Eastwood’s top returning sprinters. “We have some senior (sprinters) who will fill in this year in Clayten Vongphachanh, Josh McCauley and Jacob Hahn, and sophomore Nate McCauleyBenner will help us out,” Brian Sabo said. “Jack Arman has surprised us. He got quite a bit faster. He was on the bubble last year of being pretty good, and he’s been pretty solid for us this year.” Sophomore Logan Wendt was a regional qualifier in the 110 hurdles and 300 hurdles, and junior Ceyleon Damron qualified to regionals in the 300 hurdles. Eastwood’s top distance runners are regional qualifier Luke Coffman, a sophomore, in the 1600 and senior Daniel Trombly in the 4x800, 1600 and 3200. Brian Sabo said junior thrower Erik Fertig, a regional qualifier in the discus last year, has the top throw in the state in D-II this season, at more than 166 feet. “We throw the hammer,” Sabor said, “and he has the fifth-best throw in the country. We’re very young in the field events, but that’s OK. I like seeing guys compete and watching new guys step up.” The boys squad also beat Woodmore and Otsego on Tuesday, and it took second behind host Whitmer at the Gold “W” relays. Eastwood also took second behind Whitmer at the Eastwood Relays. “We knew they were good,” Sabo said of the Panthers. “I give our kids a lot of credit for going after them with everything they had. I appreciate that about our guys. Right now we are somewhat of a work in progress because we’re very young in some areas. Time and meets and reps will allow that to grow.”

Clay athletes off to ‘good start’ By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Second-year Clay track and field coach Mike Hyttenhove got a good glimpse of the type of athletes he would be coaching this season during the Eagles’ season-opening meet, at the St. Francis Knight Warmup. Clay’s boys and girls teams both finished in the top five, which Hyttenhove called “a good start.” “They showed they were mentally tough,” he said. “It was the end of March and it was still cold and they went out and competed. The kids went out and put up some mid-season performances in comparison to last year, which was good to see. Just a good start to the year.” Hyttenhove said the athletes on both teams have continued to progress throughout the season. “It’s nice to get some nicer weather and see that the times are starting to drop,” he said. “We’re looking forward to some meets here in the 70-degree weather.” Clay hosted the eight-team Eagle Invitational on Friday. “It’s one of our bigger meets, and it’s our last meet before our league championship (in Findlay),” Hyttenhove said. “We are continuing to improve. We need to clean up exchanges on the relays and see times drop on the guys 4x400 and the girls 4x400, and the guys 4x800. Those are our most competitive relays and they are on the edge of qualifying to the regionals.” The girls 4x400 relay includes junior Alexis Cordle, sophomores Sydnie Meinke and Faith Ramirez-Johnson, and freshman Bella Mabry. Hyttenhove said the 4x400 has a good chance to advance out of the district meet. “The strength of our team in general is mid-distance, from the 200 to the 800,” Hyttenhove said. “Bella is a freshman and this is Faith’s first year out and they have attacked their workouts and improved throughout the year. Two of those girls are under 65 seconds and the other two are right around 65. They’re starting to peak at the right time, too. We’re looking at some good relay times on the horizon.” Cordle also excels in the 800, as does Mabry in the 200 and 400, Hyttenhove said, adding that Meinke is one of the top pole vaulters in the area. “She’s cleared 10 feet, and right now she is sitting first in our district,” the coach said.

Junior Anna Rew has also become a formidable competitor in the throwing events. “She decided to make track her No. 1 sport her sophomore year,” Hyttenhove said. “She has really dedicated herself through that, with power lifting and being a leader at practice. She puts in the work and takes coaching very well. When you tell her to make small changes, she makes that change and she sees results because of it.” Clay’s boys 4x400 consists of seniors Hayden Dickerson and Marc Halley, junior Emilio Rendon and freshman Jacob Leichty. “The two seniors have been running the 4x400 for at least last three years and it’s one of their stronger events,” Hyttenhove said. “Jacob got thrown onto (the relay) in the middle of a meet this year and he had never run the 400 before, and he has one of our best times. Emilio has been working at it the last three years and is coming into his own this year. They have their goals in mind, to at least get to the regional meet, and they’re right on the edge to getting there.” The 4x800 squad is comprised of Rendon, Dickerson, Halley and senior Jacob Keilholz. “That relay is led by seniors who have a goal in mind where they wanted to be,” Hyttenhove said. “Hayden and Marc are great leaders in terms of workouts and getting others to buy in. With the weather turning, I think our times are going to drop significantly in that race.” Dickerson returns in the 800 after qualifying to regionals in that event last season. Rendon ran his best time (52.3) in the 400 at the St. Francis Knight Relays last week, helping the Eagles place seventh out of 16 teams. Senior Walker Bliss has long-jumped 20 feet, 4 inches this season, “which puts him around the fourth-place spot to be a regional qualifier for the first time in his career,” Hyttenhove said. The coach added that he wants the boys and girls teams to show continued improvement to finish out the season. “They have bought into that concept we talked about, that our goal is to set a new personal best for ourselves every time we (compete),” Hyttenhove said. “For the most part, we’ve set personal bests in almost every meet we’ve gone to. As long as we do that, the kids who want to be regional qualifiers can attain that. That would be a great building block for our program going forward.”

Craig Mintz on his way to a Fremont victory. (Photo by Rick Sherer)

Mintz making bid for third title By Brian Liskai Special to The Press sports@presspupblications.com Craig Mintz has not raced a lot the past couple of years as the Gibsonburg native devoted his time to his business and his growing family. The two-time champion of the FAST 410 Championship Series decided 2018 would be the year to once again go after a series title and it got off to a great start as he scored a thrilling victory at Fremont Speedway. Then, a week ago at another track, Mintz flipped his 410 c.i. sprint car to start his season. However, he redeemed himself in a huge way. The win was the 11th of Mintz’ career at “The Track That Action Built” to open the historic oval’s 68th season of racing. In the 30-lap feature he first had to hold off defending FAST champion D.J. Foos early and then late in the race Cap Henry gave Mintz all he could handle “That just shows the ups and downs of racing and shows you how mentally tough you have to be to be in this game. You build a new race car and destroy it in one lap and then you put a new car together and come here and win races. This crew battled and battled and battled and here we are in victory lane. I know my wife’s sitting at home pretty mad. I’ll text her and hopefully she will forgive me,” said Mintz beside his No. 09. “I saw his (Henry) nose there a couple of times and it was a matter of taking up as much room as I could in turn one and trying to hold my line in three and four. I love racing with Cap...we have raced each other since we were five,” Mintz said. “To open the year at Fremont and the FAST deal with a win is a huge confidence booster.”

The evening’s fast qualifier Chris Andrews and Mintz brought the field to green for their 30-lap A-main with Mintz gaining the advantage as fourth place starter Foos drove into second. Mintz set a blistering pace and just as he was ready to drive into heavy lapped traffic by lap five the caution flew. The restart order was Mintz, Foos, Andrews, Nate Dussel, Henry, Stuart Brubaker and Broc Martin. Mintz pulled away when the green flew but when he closed in on the back of the pack Foos, Andrews and Henry closed. Henry took third on lap 14 and at the half-way point the crowd were on their feet as Mintz, Foos and Henry sliced through traffic battling for the top spot. With 10 laps remaining Andrews had caught the lead trio as the top four ran nose to tail. Henry took second on lap 21 just before the caution flew with eight laps to go. The good news for Mintz was a clear track while the bad news was Henry looked to have the fastest car on the track. When the green reappeared Henry drove to Mintz’ outside several times. Exiting turn four with five laps to go Henry got sideways and spun, ending his entertaining run. The last five laps featured a tremendous battle with Mintz continuing to lead while Dussel took second with Andrews and Foos challenging. At the checkers Mintz won by a car length over Andrews who rebounded nicely with two-time 305 track champion Dussel rounding out the podium. They were followed by Foos, Martin, Brubaker, Gunn, Brian Smith (up from 18th), T.J. Michael and Tracy Hines rounding out the top 10.

Do you want to be a birder?

Question: What’s a field guide? A field guide is a special kind of book, designed to help you figure out what kind of bird you’re seeing. Usually it’s a fairly small book, so that you can slip it into a large pocket or day pack to carry along. It won’t tell you a lot about each kind of bird – just the basics for telling one kind from another. Question: Couldn’t I just go online and look up the birds there? Well, you could, but that could turn out to be a slow, frustrating process. How do you look it up if you don’t know its name? You could look through thousands of pictures online, and maybe find pictures that matched the bird you saw, but it could take hours. With a field guide, you could look it up on the spot in mere minutes, because these books are designed to get you to the answer quickly. Several good field guides are available, and for twenty bucks you can save yourself hours of online frustration. By the way, here’s a good tip on choosing a field guide, if you can go to a store that has a good selection (like a bird observatory, nature center, or wild bird store). Choose a bird that you already know well – a cardinal, maybe, or a robin,

Question: Where should I go to look for birds? You can find some birds practically anywhere, including back yards and city streets. To see more different kinds of birds, visit more habitats: the birds that like open fields are different from the ones that live in the forest. Areas near water often have more variety of birdlife, and edges between habitats – such as where a meadow meets the edge of a woodlot – can be very good as well. If you’re in northwestern Ohio, you can find maps and directions for several good birding spots at http://www.bsbo.org/birding/ birding_hotspots.htm Question: Is there some kind of birding uniform? Will other birders know I’m a beginner if I don’t wear the right stuff? No, there’s no uniform! Just go for comfort. Sometimes you can get closer to birds if you avoid bright colors and bright whites, but often it makes no difference. If you’re going to be wading in swamps or snowdrifts, rubber boots may be necessary; but most of the time, tennis shoes will be fine. When the day starts cool and then warms up, it’s helpful to be dressed in layers that you can peel off as the temperature rises. Squeaky windbreakers or raincoats can be a pain if you’re trying to listen for bird calls. Sunscreen and bug repellant can be useful accessories. But again, comfort is the main goal. Question: Any other advice for getting started? As long as you’re not harming the birds or their habitat, or trespassing on private property, or causing problems for other people, there’s no “wrong” way to go birding. The best approach is the one that works best for you. Don’t get discouraged if you can’t recognize every bird you see – just make the most of the ones that you do recognize. Birding is something that we do for enjoyment, so if you enjoy it, you are already a good birder.

Question: Do I need a lot of special gear? No, there’s hardly anything that you really need at the start. When I got into birding as a kid, I had nothing except a burning interest. But things became a lot easier after I got my hands on a field guide and binoculars, and those two items are almost essential – along with some kind of small notebook and pencil, for jotting down notes.

Question: What about binoculars. Are they really necessary? As a kid, I got started bird watching without binoculars, and learned some birds that way; but when I finally saved up money to get binoculars, it made a huge difference. Suddenly I could see all kinds of details I had missed before, and I could tell different birds apart so much more easily.

So you’ve caught the buzz about birding. You know that thousands of people have taken up this hobby, or outdoor sport, or whatever it is, and they’re having a great time. And now you want to give it a try, but you’re not quite sure how to start? First thing to know is that birders are an incredibly friendly and welcoming bunch, always glad to welcome new people into the fun. If you show up at a birding site and admit that you don’t have much experience, you won’t be shunned – more likely, you’ll have people wanting to share information and show you birds that you haven’t seen before. There’s no secret handshake and no test that you have to pass. Just say that you’re interested, and the birders will accept you as part of the gang. But here are a few tips to help you get started.

something like that – and look it up in each of the field guides. Find which book has your favorite treatment of the bird that you chose. Chances are, you’ll like the way that book illustrates and describes other kinds of birds, too.

From the left or right sides, Gabe Scott gets it done By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Gabe Scott is a something of a unique individual. Not only is Genoa’s senior third baseman/pitcher an all-conference performer in baseball, he was also an all-conference golfer for the Comets last fall. Scott can also brag that he is primarily right-handed, yet he bats from the left side of the plate. “I’m right-handed for everything but my swing,” he said. “I golf and I hit lefthanded. My dad (Brett) is the same way. He started teaching me to hit left-handed, just messing around playing baseball, and it seemed natural. I can’t hit right-handed to save my life.” Scott led Genoa’s golf team to a Northern Buckeye Conference title in 2017, and he’s trying to do the same thing with the baseball team this spring. Coach Gary Nissen’s squad (12-4, 6-3 NBC) followed Monday’s 2-1 win over Lake with a 6-5 loss at Eastwood on Wednesday. Scott was a first-team All-NBC first baseman as a junior, although he was asked by former coach Dave Miley if he would move to third base late last season in order to get better defensive match-ups. “I said I’d try it, and that’s where I’m at now,” Scott said. “In a way, it’s like first base. It didn’t take me too long (to adjust). I played third base a couple innings here and there when I needed to, even in travel ball in the summer. I like it at third because there’s a lot of action and it forces me to make plays.” The 5-foot-11, 220-pound Scott, a fouryear starter, showed off his ability to play the hot corner earlier this season in a game against Otsego. His defensive play was key as the Comets went on to win the game in extra innings. “There was a line drive hit down the line and I made a diving play backhanded,” Scott said. “I didn’t even plan on diving. It was like instinct, where I just dove and caught it. It was a hard-hit ball and it was a pretty big out, too. I think it was the bottom of the seventh and it probably would have been a double if it fell.”

Scott described himself as a competitive person and said playing golf pushes him to get better athletically and mentally. “It’s definitely a test for the mental state,” he said. “It’s hard to stay mentally in it when you’re struggling on the golf course.” Baseball is Scott’s first love, but he has chosen to play golf at Tiffin University, where he will major in criminal justice. “They have a good criminal justice program, and it’s closer to home,” Scott said. “I want to be on a SWAT team or in the FBI, something along those lines.” Scott is having an outstanding senior season for the Comets. He’s batting .431 with 13 RBI and nine runs. As a a relief pitcher he’s 3-0 with four saves and a 1.05 ERA in 13.1 innings. Scott went 3-for-4 and scored two runs in Wednesday’s loss to Eastwood. “Coming into this season, my goals were to have team goals,” Scott said. “Individually, I knew I wasn’t pursuing a baseball career after high school. I wanted to have a good year individually, but the biggest thing for me was how the team was going to do and how I can help the team.” Nissen, who started coaching Scott when he was 8 years old, said Scott is probably best suited for third base but he can play anywhere on the infield. “If push came to shove, we could probably put him at shortstop,” Nissen said. “He’s just that type of kid. He’s a natural third baseman and he’s one of my best pitchers, but we use him as more of a relief pitcher to put out fires when we have to. The great thing about Gabe, he’s doing everything we’ve asked hm to do. He understands the game. He’s led the team and he’s kind of our verbal leader. He gets the kids in the right frame of mind, like a coach on the field.” Scott said one reason for Genoa’s success this season is its camaraderie. “This is a good team,” he said, “and we don’t really have any issues with each other at all. We all bond really well and we all know the game of baseball. We help each other get better every day, freshmen through seniors, and everybody picks everybody up and that’s big on a team. We have some sophomores who have picked me up and helped me through a lot of different situations this year.”

York named Wolverine-Hoosier pitcher of the week Lourdes University’s Matt York (Clay) has been named the Wolverine-Hoosier Athletic Conference Pitcher of the Week for his efforts in helping the Gray Wolves earn its first trip to the conference tournament in program history. York tossed a complete game on Saturday afternoon against Rochester (Mich.), allowing just one run in the Gray Wolves’ 4-1 victory. He struck out nine while scattering nine hits and walking three. For the season, the senior right-hander is 4-3 with a 4.17 earned run average. He has four complete games while leading the team with 69 innings pitched and 52 strikeouts. Opponents are hitting .273 against York on the year. The Pitcher of the Week honor is the second of the season for York, who also earned the accolade back on March 12.

The Press Box York and the Gray Wolves traveled to Lima, Ohio on Thursday to begin play in the WHAC tournament. Lourdes opened against Madonna.

win three TRAC titles as a team. “Garret is a quality student-athlete who will make an immediate impact for us both on the wrestling mat, as well as in the classroom,” Kelly stated. “He is coming to Lourdes University from an elite high school program here in Northwest Ohio, so his transition from high school to collegiate wrestling should be seamless. We expect him to challenge for a starting position immediately.” Anderson was a two-time state qualifier for the Eagles, finishing fourth and second at the district championships in 2017 and 2018 respectively. The four-time sectional champion was also named the TRAC Wrestler of the Year during his prep career. During his four-year high school career, Anderson posted a 144-51 record on the mat, competing at 120, 132, and 145 pounds, finishing his senior campaign

with a 38-12 mark. Anderson is a multisport athlete at Clay, where he earned second team All-TRAC honors on the soccer field as a senior as well. Upon his arrival at Lourdes, Anderson plans to major in mathematics and education.
