It was a little disconcerting this season that Huron was beaten by Margaretta in volleyball twice and had to share the SBC crown. But then again, when you have had the success the Tigers have had over the last decade on the state level, only one match really counts. That’s the one that decides the District Champion during the State tournament. In that win-or-go-home match, Huron taught the talented Polar Bears a lesson about executing on a big stage. For those who had only seen the Tigers play in those two loses, what happened Saturday night must have come as quite a shock. But for those who have also seen Huron play the state caliber teams that Coach Wood brought in during 2010 knew the young ladies were capable of this. To be fair, the season has had its share of frustration because diehard fans knew this team is capable of great things, but had seen them struggle inexplicably at times. Following this exhilarating 3-0 win (25-19, 25-8,25-16), Tigers Coach Wood was asked what the difference was between tonight’s performance and the two earlier losses. He answered with just one word:
“Focus!” Getting off to a good start was going to be key for Huron. And they certainly accomplished that with two early kills by Kat Ferrell and an ace by Hannah Figgins. Following a kill by Taylor Slauterbeck that gave the Tigers 11-4 lead, Margaretta called time to rally the troops. The Polar Bears could get no closer than 13-10, when Slauterbeck clobbered another kill, Taryn Graham served an ace, Ferrel blocked a kill attempt, and Katlyn Sommer dropped a touch shot over the net to take five of the next six points for an 18-11 Tiger lead. Ferrell closed out the victory 25-19 win with a kill. Senior captain Taryn Graham, again led the team’s defense with 17 digs – some of which were unbelievably spectacular and quick. Hannah Figgins contributed nine and Slauterbeck had eight. Defense was sharp, particularly in game two when the Tigers held Margaretta to just eight points. Huron’s attack was very balanced during the opening 10-2 run. It may have been their best stretch of the season thus far. The Polar Bears looked absolutely stunned
Leaf Pickup Explained In 2008, the City of Huron’s leaf pick up program was modified from past practices in an effort to provide a more cost effective and efficient service. The program utilizes the city’s existing yard waste removal service, which provides all residents a weekly opportunity to dispose of leaves. All residents must use the appropriate yard waste receptacles for leaf disposal: 20 to 35 gallon trash can receptacles clearly
marked as “YARD WASTE” containers. In place of receptacles, biodegradable yard waste bags may be substituted, which can be purchased at most retail outlets. There is no maximum amount of leaf refuse; however, no receptacle can weigh more than 50 pounds. The city’s refuse hauler, FSI, will pick up all packaged leaves as part of the normal weekly collection cycle, with the service continuing through Monday Dec. 27.
when their coach called timeout. Out of the break, the Tigers fired off another six straight points, helped by some outstanding, aggressive serves from the sophomore Ferrell (four aces) to take a commanding 16-2 lead. Slauterbeck fired an ace for the 25th point in the 25-8 win. During the third and final game, Margaretta started out playing more aggressively and hung with Huron up until 9-8. Then the Tigers went on a 7-3 run that was capped off by a powerful Slauterbeck kill again forcing a Polar Bear time out. Now up 16-11, Huron did not let up. The Tiger defense was outstanding with big blocks by Sommer, Koenig, and Erin O’Reilly while the back line was diving for saves that looked like sure points for the opposition. Ferrell, as she seems to have a knack for, closed out the match with a kill and the decisive 3-0 win. None of Huron’s aggressive attacks would have been possible if it weren’t for Taryn Graham’s digs and the outstanding play by setters Sam Wechter (17 assists) and Sydney Grendow (15 assists) who combined for exactly zero ballhandling errors.
Contest Anglers Donate Catches to Charity The FishHuronOhio group sponsored its second annual Fall Walleye Challenge on Saturday, Oct. 16, drawing some 250 fishermen from Ohio and four surrounding states.
