In both school's 100th season of foot-ball, Waite and Scott have something else in common heading into their matchup Fri-day — both lost to Start.

Coach Gardner Howard’s Indians lost to the Spartans 30-14 last Friday, while Scott fell to Start 21-12 on Oct. 4. The Indians and Bulldogs, under coach Michael Daniels, will each be looking for different results when they clash at Mollenkopf Stadium.

“Whenever you get to coach against someone you consider a friend, it’s extra special,” Howard said. “Coach Daniels and I have been friends for a while now and I have a great deal of respect for him and what he does at Scott. Scott is a very proud community with tradition and history like none other, so it’s a priviledge to (play a) great school with great pride and tradition competing on the battlefi eld.”

Waite, which fell to 1-6 and 1-1 in the CL with the loss to Start, beat Scott (1-6, 0-2) last season. The Indians hosted Bowsher this week, while the Bulldogs faced Wood-ward.

Some may have felt that with the dif-fi cult schedule Waite had already played, a win over Start was achievable. The Spar-tans (3-4, 2-0), however, managed to con-trol the game.

“Coach (Tyson) Harder, his staff and players defi nitely deserve the credit for out-playing us,” Howard said. “They performed and made more plays than we did and de-served the victory. In order to compete for a league title you have to take every week as a championship game. The grueling sched-ule we’ve played will pay dividends in the long run, whether it’s this week, this season or next.

“We have a very young and inexpe-rienced team, and every game and every play is a worthwhile experience. We had a

few missed opportunities that could have swung the game in a different direction, but give Start the credit. They made the plays and executed their game plan.”

Howard said the Indians’ offensive line, which consists of tackles Dornae Higgs and Jesus Benavidez, guards Jovan Sanson and Noah Paprocki, and center Nick Jensen, has “played pretty well this season and I’m ex-cited about their potential going forward.”

He added that junior quarterback Jer-

emy Pratt is also making progress. The fi rst-year starter has completed 72 of 167 passes (43 percent) for 863 yards and four touch-downs. Pratt also leads the team in rushing, with 428 yards and four touchdowns on 94 carries.

“Our offense is predicated on making reads and decisions, and I think our quar-terback is growing and learning how to ex-ecute what we want,” Howard said. “I am pushing them to be better each week and

I’m very excited about what lies ahead of us. Our defensive unit has seen better days and will continue to fi ght, but our inexperi-ence, youth and overall physicalness has to improve, and it will.”

Junior receiver Diondre Irish leads Waite with 25 catches for 401 yards, while senior Tyler Slawski has 20 catches for 181 yards. The Indians’ season comes to a close at home on Oct. 31 against Woodward (2-5, 1-1), which won its fi rst CL game since 2007 with a 6-2 win over Rogers last Friday.

“The goal is always to represent Waite High School and our community with class and respect,” Howard said. “If we are able to win out and get a little help, who knows? We can still share a piece of the City title. We defi nitely owe it to our seniors to go out and fi ght for them, to have them end their senior season and careers at Waite feeling good about themselves. We are excited and looking forward to working hard.” Despite 100 years of football, this is not their 100th meeting. Because the City League had as many as 14 teams, more or less, it was divided into Blue and Red divi-sions for years. Later schedules were based on results from the previous two seasons, which means they didn’t always play, but did play twice one year — 1953. Waite leads the all-time series, 48-25, with four ties.

Waite and Scott both have something else in common heading into this year’s historic meeting Friday — they once had nationally-recognized football programs. This year, both schools are celebrat-ing their 100th year of football. In its early years, the annual East Toledo-West Toledo rivalry between Toledo’s only two schools was played on Thanksgiving — drawing up to 20,000 fans to either school’s horseshoe-shaped concrete and steel stadium. If you were a Toledo football fan before World War II, your family was at that game before sitting down to Thanksgiving din-ner. Soon, new schools DeVilbiss and Lib-bey also began playing on Thanksgiving,

Storied Waite, Scott celebrating 100 years on gridironand later Macomber, Bowsher, Start, Wood-ward (at fi rst a vocational school), Rogers, and seven different Catholic schools were added to the fold. The fi nal Waite-Scott Thanksgiving game was played in 1961, the late Andy Toth once told The Press. The original Waite Bowl was located where Mollenkopf Stadium is today, but extended into where the baseball fi eld cur-rently sits, and pictures make it look more like a college stadium. Waite moved into Waite Stadium, now Mollenkopf Stadium, in 1934, while Scott’s bowl was used for several more decades until a crumbling foundation led to its raz-ing. Waite and Scott were the teams to beat before WWII, both earning national rec-ognition — each school has two national championships and Waite has fi ve state

poll championships. Waite won national titles in 1924 and 1932, Scott in 1919 and 1922, according to researchers Doug Huff, West Virginia; Barry Sollenberger, Arizona; and Bob Pruter, Illinois. One Waite team was invited to the White House after defeating Miami Senior (Fla.) in the national championship game. Throughout the season, the team traveled across the country by train to play other prep powerhouses, taking tutors and books with them. Waite coaches Don McCallister (39-4-1) and Jack Mollenkopf (91-25-7) went on to successful NCAA Division I college coach-ing careers at South Carolina and Purdue, but it was coach Larry Bevan (45-5-1) who started it all in 1918. Mollenkopf became a Boilermaker legend and even has a build-ing named for him on the West Lafayette,

Indiana campus. “Coach Jack Mollenkopf was the very best coach in town and his teams were ex-tremely well-coached,” wrote Lew Cross, Class of 1946, for the 90th anniversary pub-lication of Waite High School published by The Press 10 years ago. When the two schools opened in 1914, they replaced Toledo High School, which stood where the Toledo-Lucas County Pub-lic Library’s main building is on Michigan Avenue. Even the Toledo Central High Masta-dons were a powerhouse dating back to the 19th Century, ultimately playing the Uni-versity of Notre Dame freshman team in 1913, but losing to the Fighting Irish, 10-0. Toledo Central lost the 1904 national cham-pionship game to Detroit Central, 6-5 (scor-ing was different then).

In the stands at Comet Stadium, a Ge-noa football fan could be heard referring to Comet player Tyler Rozek as an “animal.”

Another likened him to a “machine,” while his neighbor called Rozek a “beast” and another fan ringing a maroon Genoa cowbell chimed in with the metaphor “as-sassin.”

Perhaps the best description for the 5-foot-9, 189 pound Comet senior special teams ace would be “heat-seeking missile” for the way he sprints down the fi eld with no regard and locks onto his target.

“I love to hit, and you could defi nitely say that I take a lot of pride in my hitting, because I think a guy can set the tone in a football game, and get himself, his team, and the fans really excited when he makes a big hit,” shares the 18-year-old Rozek.

Rozek has become a solid fi xture on second-year head coach Tim Spiess’ spe-cial teams units for two years.

“Actually, I prefer hitting on special teams,” he says, “because I get to run down the fi eld at full speed, there’s really no real play on, there’s nothing to remember, it’s just smashing into someone as hard as you can, and it’s simple and really, really fun.

“Some guys have to kind of develop a feel for special teams play, a taste for it, but I feel like hitting just comes naturally to me. I think football is an aggressive sport, and that we kind of have to go as hard as we can out there, and knock our opponents down with good, solid hits, because if any one of us, or any player on any team, takes a play off, or goes at half-speed, there’s al-ways that better chance we could get hurt.

“But, I would defi nitely have to say that special teams are just as important to a football team as the offense and defense. Good, hard special teams play just gets everyone jacked, from your teammates, to your coaches, to the fans. I mean, once everybody sees a big hit on special teams, they get into a game a whole lot more, and everyone starts getting more excited and

cheering louder.” Genoa is 7-0 overall, 4-0 in the North-

ern Buckeye Conference, after escaping with a 49-35 win over Northern Buckeye Conference foe Lake (5-1, 2-1). The Flyers held 14-0 and 21-7 leads, leading to Comet fans cringing in their seats at Lake Commu-nity Stadium, before Genoa came back to win.

Rozek led all of Coach Spiess’s special teamers with nine tackles heading into that game. There have been other special team plays to remember, including another high-light in the rout over Eastwood.

During Genoa’s heavyweight bout with longtime coach Jerry Rutherford and his Eagles, Rozek dove headlong into the fray to recover an onside kick, which put his Comets in business on the Eagles’ side of the gridiron. The onside kick was a gutsy call, with Genoa in the lead, and it caught the Eagles off guard.

Rozek’s favorite special teams hit came on August 24, 2012 against Ottawa Hills. He made his debut as a future special teams ace on a play where he took out four Green Bears before lighting up the ball carrier.

Fellow Comet special teams wrecking crews Jake Wojciechowski, Blake Traver, and Dakota Sheahan have their top Rozek moments, too. They each point out No. 6’s slobber knocker on a return man this sea-son as their No. 1.

Says the 6-0, 182 pound junior Wojciechowski: “Rozek just came fl ying out of nowhere and just cracked him. It was probably the hardest hit of the year so far. My favorite is when he just goes nuts and builds up a lot of anger and yells like crazy.”

Echoes the 5-10, 181 pound junior Traver: “He came out of nowhere and de-stroyed their return man. He’s fast, explo-sive, dangerous, and what makes him spe-

cial is his ‘I don’t care’ mentality. If you get in his way, you’re going to get hit hard.”

Adds the 6-0, 187 pound senior Sheah-an: “Tyler just stands out on the kickoff team. He is one of the fastest kids on the unit and he hits harder than anyone on it. Other teams really have to watch him be-cause his play can pin them inside their own 15 with no problem.”

Perhaps the most glowing endorsement of Rozek comes from Spiess: “Tyler Rozek is just a high-energy football player and his enthusiasm is contagious.”

Genoa football statistician Lee Nissen, a lifelong Comet, calls Rozek “a maximum effort kind of guy” and “a great kid from a great family.” Co-athletic director Mike Thomas, also a lifelong Comet, calls Rozek a “team player” and a “mature young man.”

Rozek has yet to record an all-confer-ence award. So, he has established his own goals, for before and after football.

“I’d like to be a fi rst team defensive tackle and for our team to win the NBC and go all the way,” Rozek said. “After gradu-ation, I plan on going into the service and then becoming a fi reman.”

Outside of special teams hits, as an un-dersized defensive tackle, he’s recorded 19 tackles, four tackles for a loss, four sacks, two forced fumbles, and two fumble recov-eries.

“To be honest with you, it doesn’t both-er me at all that I don’t get a lot of recogni-tion for my special teams play like (return man) Casey (Gose) and (fi rst team All-Ohio placekicker) Cody (Pickard) do,” offers Rozek. “For me, special teams play is about going out there and doing my job and be-ing in the right place at the right time. Our success on special teams is about our other hard-hitting special teams players, too,”

In turn, Tyler dishes out kudos to the aforementioned Sheahan, Traver, ‘Wojo,’ junior Nick Wolfe, and younger brother Kyle Rozek “because they’re all really fast, and can really lay the wood, too.”

“Special teams are about saving your anger up from the rest of the week and tak-ing it out on the football fi eld,” he says.

Having just completed a regular season that saw them go a near-perfect 15-0-1 and 12-0 in the Sandusky Bay Conference, the Rockets enter the Division II tournament with a chance to make a deep run. The tie could, however, prove to be a blessing in disguise. Third-year coach Ken Filar says it can humble a team, forcing them to reevaluate their standing. Filar, who was previously the junior varsity coach at Central Catholic, inherited a team that was undergoing a rebuild-ing phase. After winning league titles in 2008 and 2010, the Rockets had two good but less than spectacular seasons before rebounding this year to dominate their competition. The turnaround has result-ed from an ideal blend of Oak Harbor’s defense and opportunistic offense that has scored goals at key times throughout the season. The players credit Filar with stressing the importance of defense and making sure the players stay grounded and not look ahead. “(Coach Filar) just told us to take it one game at a time and to focus on the next game,” Andy Burnette said. “I’ve felt confident that if we kept working we’d be alright.” Burnette, a junior forward whose sister, Amber, a 2013 OHHS graduate, is current-ly competing for the Owens Community College soccer team, led the Rockets with 25 goals and six assists. “All the extra practices and the sum-mer practices we’ve had have helped a lot,” said Burnette, who also wrestles and runs track. “At the beginning of the year, we had to work some things out but now we’re playing really well.” Despite averaging 1.6 goals per game,

Burnette, whose scoring has been instru-mental in helping the Rockets go from 6-10-2 to 15-0-1, understands the importance of team defense. “Early on, our goal was to keep get-ting shutouts, he said, “(but) we knew we couldn’t have a shutout every game.” Senior forward Connor Eli, who had to sit out his junior year after transfer-ring from Genoa, was second on the team with 23 goals and finished with 16 assists. Fellow senior Tate Haar, a three-year letter winner and the team’s most versatile play-er, scored 16 goals and set a single-season school record with 28 assists. Haar was a first-team district selection in 2012 and a leading candidate to be named the SBC’s Player of the Year. “We knew what the other teams (in the league) were losing and that the freshmen coming up could contribute,” Haar said, referring to the quintet of Nate Poiry, Tyler

Bullock, Donovan Damron, Quintin Dewalt and Liam Hall that is new to the team. “And the juniors and seniors matured a lot, too. We’ve worked hard this year” Haar also talked about how the team’s chemistry has been vital to the success of the team. “We’re all close and are friends with each other,” he said. “Nobody on our team dislikes each other and a lot of us hang out together outside of soccer. Andy and I have played soccer together for a while and Connor and I hang out a lot, too.” After employing a basic 4-4-2 defen-sive formation last season, Oak Harbor tweaked things and currently uses a sys-tem that is basically a hybrid of the 4-4-2 and the 5-3-2. A center midfielder usually drops back in coverage to help strengthen the defense, a move that has consistently stifled opponents’ offenses. The six primary defenders are Derek

Wood, Brandon Schimming, Tyler Sievert and James Walters and Damron and Tyler Bowlick fill in off the bench. But it hasn’t been just the defenders who have helped to form a potent defense. Other players like Tim Poiry, Nate Poiry, Trevor Hanely, David Birchall, Caleb Dornbush, Allen Luecke, Austin Schimming and John Pluto and goalie Kyle Draper have been critical to defending the net. Last Saturday, the Rockets, the top seed in the Division II Toledo district, faced No. 6 seed Central Catholic, which defeated Lake, 1-0. If they won, they’ll face Maumee on Wednesday at 7 p.m. at Central Catholic’s Gallagher Athletic Complex with a spot in the district final awaiting them on Oct. 26. Maumee (10-5-1) defeated Wauseon, 4-3, in overtime Wednesday behind Michigan State recruit Alex Wagener, who scored all four Panther goals.

The Detroit Tigers double play team of shortstop Alan Trammell and second base-man “Sweet” Lou Whitaker, chocolate and peanut butter, the dudes from “The Hang-over” movies — there are some combina-tions that just go together.

Another combination is 5-foot-11, 200 pound Woodmore senior quarterback Jake Matwiejczyk, and his 5-5, 141 pound se-nior wide receiver Evan Ulinski.

“Jake is a great athlete who has devel-oped into a good QB,” praises coach Brit-ton Devier, who in his fourth year as the architect of Woodmore football. “He has al-ways been a good runner but this year has become the total quarterback package. He distributes the ball well to our wide receiv-ers and running backs.

“Evan is the toughest, most-competitive kid,” continues Coach D. “He proves that dynamite comes in all sizes. Evan has made several amazing catches this year, and rare-ly has a drop. Without these two on offense, we’d have a much different identity.”

The Cats are 4-3 overall, but 1-3 in the Northern Buckeye Conference. This comes after fi nishing 4-6 overall and at 2-5 in NBC play in 2012 and 2-8, and 1-6 in ‘11. Those three league losses this season loom large, but the quarterback feels as if Woodmore can play with anyone, including the larger schools in the NBC.

“I think we are so close to battling for the NBC title again. This team defi nitely has the attitude and mindset for it,” shares the 18-year-old Matwiejczyk.

Outside of his team’s turnaround, Matwiejczyk has enjoyed a taste of suc-cess, to the tune of 83 completions on 142 attempts, for 1,297 yards and 16 passing touchdowns. Prior to the ‘Cats loss at Ross-ford, he was still tops on the NBC passing leader board, even ahead of Lake’s All-NBC second team quarterback and Flyer record-holder Jared Rettig.

“We really are so close,” agrees the 18-year-old Ulinski, who also checks into the NBC leader board with 25 receptions for 386 yards, three TDs, and a chain-moving average of 15.4 yards per catch. That places him just behind Woodmore teammate Mala-chi Brown (17 catches, 440 yards, 25.9 ave.) and big Genoa tight end Quentin Spiess (11, 415, 37.7), although Ulinski remains the most-targeted receiver in the NBC.

“Last year, we beat (perennial NBC

power) Eastwood in a really close game,” Ulinski adds, “and I think this year, in some cases, we just haven’t executed like we know we can.

“But, I think the community is really just excited about our team again,” he con-tinues, “and I’ve never really seen a bigger crowd on a Friday night, then like the one we had at our season opener (rout over Port Clinton) this year. I’m excited.”

Matwiejczyk interjects, “This town’s defi nitely rocking on Friday nights again. I

don’t think we’ve ever had this many peo-ple come to our games since I’ve been here. You can just tell it’s a different atmosphere this year, and it’s got to be a little intimidat-ing for opposing teams to come into Wild-cats Stadium on Friday nights.”

Who can blame the PC Redskins (0-7, 0-4), the Elmwood Royals (1-6, 1-3), and the resurgent Flyers (5-2, 2-2) -each of who’s al-ready made a trip to refurbished Wildcats Stadium this fall, and left town with a 55-7 loss, a 49-22 loss, and a 63-34 win respec-

tively, for winding away from Elmore with a new-found respect for these ‘Cats.

For Matwiejczyk there has been no shortage of big games, including: 186 yards through the air, 200 on the ground, and a fi ve touchdown night (two passing, three rushing) to kick off the season against Port Clinton; a second fi ve touchdown night (three passing, two rushing) in week two at Cardinal Stritch Catholic; a three rushing touchdown night against Lake, in which he took off with the ball 29 times for 158 yards (he also threw for 268, and two scores); and a six touchdown night — fi ve of them pass-ing, on 352 yards against Elmwood.

Ulinski turned in a two TD-catch out-put versus Tiffi n Calvert to help spark a 48-14 win; an 81-yard kickoff return for a score to get the party started against Stritch, and a two-yard TD reception in a 56-6 victory; and eight catches, for 121 yards against Elmwood, which he capped off with a sweet one-handed grab near the goal line.

Matwiejczyk and Ulinski have com-bined for 874 extra yards, via J-Mat utilizing his legs and shifty 4.65 40 time to scramble for 628 yards on the ground, and 11 touch-downs, with Ulinski complementing him with 10 kickoff returns for 246 yards as a solid special teams ace.

“Yes, in the end…that’s what heroes do,” Devier said. “They’re champions of the cause. They go above and beyond the call. They have each other’s backs. They make everyone around them feel good about be-ing a part of something. And they never forget where they came from…which trans-lates to Matwiejczyk and Ulinski knowing that they’re never as good alone, as they are together, and with the support of their hometown behind them. And that’s a reci-pe for sweet success, and a winning combi-nation, whether you’re winning champion-ships every year or not.”

Ulinski also plays defense, and is a returning second-team all-NBC defensive back from ‘12, who has notched 31 tackles, 27 of them solos, and two tackles for losses. While Matwiejczyk was honorable mention all-district for the ‘Cats last year after throw-ing for 2,107 yards and rushing for 910. To go along with his second team All-NBC de-fensive accolades, Ulinski earned second-team offensive honors on the strength of 43 catches, for 534 yards, and nine TDs.

“I would describe Evan as a hell of an athlete, and he’s defi nitely the toughest kid I know,” Matwiejczyk said. “He’s always working his heart out on the fi eld. I’ve nev-er seen anyone outwork him.”

Dan Roggelin has two words to say when asked if he expected Cardinal Stritch’s girls’ soccer team to be this good, this fast.

“Absolutely not,” said Roggelin, in his 14th year as the Cardinals’ coach.

Roggelin didn’t know what to make of his roster in July, when he realized he had 14 new players coming in. Stritch fi nished 4-11-1 last season.

“I graduated a lot, and we had fi ve returning freshmen coming back as soph-omores,” Roggelin said. “I had one three-year junior and one two-year senior.”

The Cardinals entered a preseason tournament in Bowling Green and played well, despite losses to Swanton and Miami East, both regional qualifi ers last season, and Miami East.

“Talk about jelling quickly,” Roggelin said. “It was a very fun weekend in BG. We changed up our offense halfway through the tournament because I saw the speed we had, and it worked very well for us.”

Stritch lost two of its fi rst three regular-season games, to Whitmer and Delta, before reeling off seven straight wins. The Cardi-nals fi nished 12-3-1 in the regular season and tied Ottawa Hills for the inaugural To-ledo Area Athletic Conference champion-ship, both with 4-1-1 TAAC records.

The Cardinals beat Ottawa Hills, 5-4, on Oct. 12 in the sectional tournament opener. Stritch, which has outscored oppo-nents 78-25, advanced to play Oak Harbor on Saturday at Genoa for the right to ad-vance to the district tournament.

“For them to be playing this well and jell this well as a team, it’s been absolutely fantastic to coach them,” Roggelin said. “I have a lot of speed that I haven’t had in the past, and a lot of experience and knowl-edge of the game. I have kids who can play soccer.”

Junior Sarah Wamer, who transferred from Lake after her freshman year and sat out last season, and fellow midfi elder Kama Hardy both scored two goals in the tourney win over Ottawa Hills. Sophomore mid-fi elder/forward Kali Hardy, who is Kama’s cousin, had the other goal.

Kama Hardy leads the team in goals (37) and assists (12).

“She not only looks to score, but she

Stritch soccer title surprises everyone, even coach

gives other people the opportunity to score also,” Roggelin said. “She knows that if she’s marked, somebody is going to be open. She’s quiet, but when she’s out there talking, the kids are listening. She’s one of my captains and the person I would call the leader of the team.”

Wamer is second on the team with 16 goals and nine assists.

“She fi t into the team very well and is another one of my captains,” Roggelin said. “The kids listen to her and she’s done a great job. She’s (built) solid and is quick enough — not lightening fast but she has good foot skills and is very coachable. Most of the team is that way. I’m blessed with a team that when you tell them to do some-thing, they do it.”

Caitlyn Amborski, a freshman forward, has nine goals and seven assists, while Kali Hardy has seven goals and six assists.

“Kali has struggled this year with in-juries to her leg, but she’s done very well,” Roggelin said. “She’s quiet but aggressive, and she knows the game well. She’s afraid of nothing. Last year she tied Kama for the team lead in scoring.”

Junior third-year player Cecelia Goz-dowski, a team captain, “runs the defense,” according to Roggelin, while sophomore keeper Sydnie Rodriguez has 169 saves and an 89 percent save percentage, with seven shutouts.

“She has done a huge job this year as far a making the right decision,” Roggelin said. “She has done a fantastic job back

there as our goalkeeper and is in charge of the specialty plays.”

Some of the Cardinals’ other top play-ers include senior defender Annureet Man-gat, sophomore midfi elder Jettie Moore, sophomore utility player Kirsten Aldrich, sophomore defender Abbie Reichert and freshman defender Jami Hardy.

This year’s squad will graduate just three seniors, only one of whom starts, giv-ing Roggelin plenty of optimism for next year and beyond.

“This year has been a lot of fun,” he said. “This team is going to be just as strong next year. I’m looking forward to the future with this group. Kids will be fi ghting for positions next year, which is a nice posi-tion to be in.”

Winning the school’s fi rst girls cross country league championship didn’t come unexpectedly for Clay coach Dave Hess.

The Eagles, runners-up behind Notre Dame Academy last season, claimed the Three Rivers Athletic Conference title on Oct. 12 at Walsh Park in Fremont.

They scored just 27 points to fi nish well ahead of runner-up Notre Dame’s 72 points.

“We were the team to beat (in the TRAC) all year,” said Hess, in his 25th season. “We had beaten them earlier, and that was our goal. They were the defend-ing champs and the team to beat, but we performed like we should have. We ran

Gyurke, Hess girls lead Clay harriers to championshipsolid. To score 27 points at the league meet, we’re running pretty good. Hope-fully we’re not peaking yet. We should be getting close.”

Hess said fi nally winning a conference championship was “overdue.”

“We’ve been close a few times,” he said. “It felt good to get it.”

Senior Erin Gyurke was the individual TRAC champion, fi nishing in a season-best time of 17:57.5. Hess said Gyurke, who placed eighth at last year’s state meet, sets the tone for the entire team.

“We tell her to be out front and get a low number for the team,” Hess said. “She’s done that consistently. Our No. 2 runner feeds off her and it just goes from there. She sets the tone in workouts as well. That’s where the leadership shows more, in practice.”

Sophomore Haley Hess was second overall at the TRAC meet, fi nishing in 18:42.8.

“That was her best performance of the season,” coach Hess said. “She did a nice job. She was right there, ready to pop a good (time).”

Freshman Sydney Hess was sixth in 19:55.9, followed by sophomore Hannah Hess (seventh, 19:58.0), freshman Caitlyn Kuecher (11th, 20:15.0) and juniors Brooke Gyori (29th, 21:31.2) and Jessy Bohland (42nd, 23:33.2).

Freshman Madison Miller ran in the open race and had “a real good race,” ac-cording to coach Hess.

“They’re all doing a really nice job,” he said. “The strength of the team is where our fi fth runner is. We want them to be as close to Erin and Haley as possible.”

Clay will compete in the Division I district meet on Saturday at Pearson Park. The top four teams advance to next week’s regional meet at Hedges-Boyer Park in Tif-fi n. The Eagles were a regional qualifi er a year ago.

“We think we have a real good shot of advancing,” Hess said. “Hopefully in the process we can win a district title without having to run all out. That would be nice to accomplish that. It gets tougher from there. We’ll take it one week at a time, and hope-fully we peak at regionals and have another good run the following week.”

Clay’s boys team fi nished sixth at the TRAC meet, scoring 139 points. St. Francis de Sales won with 44 points. Junior Vanya Barron was the Eagles’ top placer, taking 18th in 17:31.7. Junior Matthew Gibbons was 19th in 17:34.0.

Eastwood girls’ runners win third league titleBy Yaneek SmithPress Contributing Writersports@presspublications.com

The Eastwood girls cross country team won their third straight Northern Buckeye Conference title, fi nishing with a remarkably low 20 points, well ahead of second-place Otsego, who had 63.

Elmwood was third (69), followed by Rossford (106) and Lake (107).

Eastwood freshman Hannah Sponaugle led the way with a fi rst place fi nish, running a time of 19 min-utes, 39 seconds to fi nish 17 seconds ahead of Woodmore’s Courtney Burn-er. Sponaugle’s teammate Maddie Jack-son was third overall in 20:09 (out of 59 runners) and Meagan Kaminski was sixth in 21:12, earning all fi rst team league honors.

The other top fi ve Eagle runners were Ashley Madaras (8th in 21:30) and Lexi Clark (9th in 21:42), both of whom earned second-team league hon-ors.

Three other runners, Emily Zie-linski (18th in 23:01), Larissa Barman (19th in 23:07) and McKayla Phillips (20th in 23:12) were named honorable mention for fi nishing in the top 21.

“First of all, I want to give all the credit to the girls,” said coach Stepha-nie Schneider-Sims.

“It’s their dedication and hard work that makes it work. When I was named the head coach in May, the girls decided that we had to work hard in the summer. They put in more miles and more lifting days this past summer than they have in years.

“One of the goals was to make it to state as a team. You have to take it one step at a time. We took care of the league and now we’re focusing on the next three weeks. We’ve talked about making it to state. Is that going to hap-pen? About 8-9 teams in our region have been ranked in the top-25, so it will be tough, but we’ll see. North-west Ohio is very competitive for cross country.”

Jackson, who was the individual champion at the conference meet in each of the last two seasons, is one of the most accomplished runners in Eastwood’s history. She fi nished 38th in the Division II state meet last sea-son, running in 19:36.66

She’s also a successful track ath-lete, having qualifi ed for regionals last spring in two events, the 4x100 meter relay (8th) and the 800 (12th).

“Jackson is the complete package,” Schneider-Sims said. “When she goes out for something, she puts her whole heart into it, whether its school, track or cross country. She’s going to do ev-erything she can to make herself and her team better. She and Hannah have pushed each other and made each oth-er better this season.”

Currently, Sponaugle (19:35) and Jackson (19:36) rank seventh and eighth, respectively, on Eastwood’s list of best times. The school record of 18:56, which was set by Bailey Ulinski in 2007, is within Sponaugle’s reach since she has three more years of com-petition in front of her.

“She’s been running a long time,” Schneider-Sims said. “I coached her in junior high track — I knew that Han-nah was going to be good when I saw her in seventh grade. She’s dedicated, she runs year round and does 5Ks in the summer. Did I think that she would be running steady 19:00s all year? Not necessarily. To her credit, she gets to practice every day with Maddie Jack-son.”

The Eagles have been dominant for the entire season, fi nishing fi rst at the Norm Bray Invitational and two NBC Jamboree events. Eastwood also fi nished second at the Fostoria Invite and the Clay Eagle Invite.

Schneider-Sims was an assistant for 15 years before taking over for Richard Morgan, who retired after 16 seasons leading the program.

Schneider-Sims says the reason for both team’s success stems from the players’ commitment to staying in shape year round and putting in the miles during the summer. This pro-cess, which begins in late May or early June, involves building stamina and increasing weekly mileage as the sum-mer progresses.

Alexis Donnelly went from being the leading scorer on her college soccer team to literally a coach on the sideline in a blink of an eye.

Donnelly, a junior forward at Siena Heights (Mich.) College and a Clay gradu-ate, was one of a few players scrambling for a ball against Madonna College on Sept. 28 when the ball popped up in the air.

“I went to go get it, and me and a girl kind of collided,” said Donnelly, 20. “She hit me on the outside of my leg and my right knee buckled inward and I twisted and heard it pop. The refs stopped the game immediately. It was just a big ‘pop!’ ”

Donnelly said she crumpled to the ground, screaming.

“The physician at Madonna said I had a patella sprain and I would be back in a week or two,” Donnelly said. “I went home (to Toledo) and got X-rayed and they came back negative. I had to see my orthopedic surgeon at Wildwood, and as soon as he started doing some tests he knew it was my ACL. It’s an ACL and meniscus. He’s not sure if my MCL’s torn or not.”

The trip to Wildwood was Donnelly’s offi cial notice: her junior season with the Saints was over. She was leading the team in scoring, with seven goals and fi ve assists in just 10 games, and was having the best season of her soccer career.

“My season’s over, and it’s been really rough,” Donnelly said. “I felt like fi nally I was in a good spot and I wasn’t having any more health issues, just minor bumps and bruises. I was physically fi t and where I wanted to be. I started getting on a roll and it all felt like it was taken away from me in an instant.”

Injuries and illness are nothing new to Donnelly. She tore her ACL halfway through her senior season (2010-11) at Clay and still made fi rst-team All-City League and all-district. She also has to deal with Guillain-Barre syndrome, a disorder in which the body’s immune system attacks

Donnelly perseveres despite injuries, Guillain-Barre

the nerves.People with Guillain-Barre syndrome

feel weakness and tingling in their extremi-ties at fi rst, followed by sensations that can quickly spread and eventually paralyze the entire body.

“I’ve had no symptoms,” Donnelly said. “I still get tingly sometimes, like when I get sick. My legs still fall asleep fairly easy, just like before. I put it behind me. I feel like if it’s going to come back, so be it. I’ll beat it again. It’s not even a worry to me anymore.”

Donnelly hasn’t been the only player hurting on the Saints’ roster. Two other players are out of action, one with a bro-ken bone in her shin and the other one with pulled ligaments in her ankle.

Donnelly, a psychology major, said she has been on the sidelines helping 11th-year coach Scott Oliver during games.

“I’m defi nitely in coach mode right now,” she said, “It’s kind of instilled in me. That’s what I want to do when I’m done playing. I want to be the graduate as-sistant coach here when I graduate. I defi -nitely want to keep my foot in the coaching door.”

The Saints have gone 3-1 without Don-nelly in the lineup, improving to 7-6-1 and 3-2 in the Wolverine-Hoosier Athletic Con-

ference. That doesn’t mean Oliver wouldn’t rather have her in the lineup.

“Alexis was voted by her teammates to be a team captain this year,” he said. “She is a perfect balance of lead by example and lead with the heart. She is one of the fi erc-est competitors we have on the team and is willing to do whatever it takes to make her team be successful. The best attribute I can credit her with as far as playing goes is that she makes her teammates better. Whether that is in certain plays, or off the fi eld with character. She just makes everyone around her feel special and important.

“She is always helping to coach her teammates and keep them laughing and smiling. I have only coached her for two and a half years now and she is one of my favorite players of all time.”

Donnelly is scheduled to undergo knee surgery on Nov. 4, and she hopes to be back on the fi eld by late April. She remains steadfast that her teammates shouldn’t feel sorry for themselves just because they lost one of their leaders.

“It shouldn’t matter who’s in the game,” Donnelly said. “You know how to play and you have to have heart and drive no matter who’s on the fi eld. You have to be able to go into battle and put it all on the line. We just have to show up and play.”

With six seniors in the lineup this sea-son, Clay girls golf coach Kevin Crosson was able to ride the wave and soak in the Eagles’ success.

Next year will be a new challenge.“The funny thing is, with girls golf at

Clay, one year I’ll have four golfers and one year I’ll have 22,” said Crosson, who just completed his 15th season with the Eagles. “This year we had 13 golfers and we’re graduating six, so I’ll still have seven. Those seven worked all year long with vol-unteer golf coaches who have helped me for a number of years. With those seven and the incoming freshmen, I know we have a lot of work to do. I look forward to working with them and continuing our success in the future.”

This year’s team fi nished second be-hind St. Ursula Academy in the Three Riv-ers Athletic Conference, and took second behind Northview in the Northwest Ohio Girls Golf League.

“We really had a successful season,” Crosson said. “We knew going in that St. Ursula would be extremely diffi cult to beat. St. Ursula is loaded. They’re down at the state tournament this weekend and they have a good chance of winning it.

“In the NWOGGL, we fi nished second to a Northview team that made it to dis-tricts. We were very competitive with every school. We had a lot of fi rst- and second-place fi nishes throughout the season. Most of our second-place fi nishes came to either St. Ursula or Northview.”

Clay’s departing seniors are Alyssa Fus-sell, Sam Maze, Courtney Quinlan, Kaitlyn Sheahan, Molly Kristof and Kellie Riley. All six girls were three-year varsity players.

“They all worked their tails off, and they’re great kids,” Crosson said. “I’ve coached basketball for 19 years and golf for 15 years, and this has to be one of the great-est senior classes I’ve ever coached. They love the game, they worked their tails off, they have fun, they come from great fami-lies and they do everything the correct way. All of them made academic All-Ohio and academic All-TRAC.”

The Eagles’ season ended on Oct. 2 at Detwiler, where they placed sixth out of 10 teams at the Division I sectional tour-nament. Sheahan, Clay’s No. 5 golfer, had

Clay girl golfers second in two different leagues

the team’s top score at sectionals and just missed advancing to the district tourna-ment by two strokes.

“Our sectional was a killer,” Crosson said. “If we played in any other sectional in the state, we would have qualifi ed to dis-tricts.”

Fussell, the team captain, led Clay with a 45.3 average and made fi rst-team All-NWOGGL and third-team All-TRAC.

“She did a great job with her leadership role,” Crosson said. “Alyssa is one of the longer hitters in Northwest Ohio. It seemed like with Alyssa, every time there was a nine-hole round or an 18-hole round, it seemed like she would have two bad holes that would keep her from shooting in the 30s and playing ‘bogey’ golf. That could be said about the rest of the team.”

Maze, with a 45.6 average, was the Eagles’ most improved player. She earned fi rst-team honors in the TRAC and the NWOGGL.

“She’s an extremely hard worker, as the rest of them are,” Crosson said. “Sam re-ally wants to play college golf and follow her sister (Amanda, who played at Siena Heights), but she also wants to be better than her sister and separate herself.”

Crosson said Quinlan, who had a 45.8 average and made second-team All-TRAC and All-NWOGGL, and Fussell also want to play college golf.

Sheahan had a 47.7 average and made the second team in both leagues, while Kristof had a 48.4 average and made the second team in the NWOGGL and the third team in the TRAC. Riley fi nished with a 59.4 average.
