By: Bill BrayTHE VILLAGE REPORTER
Queen Sariah Yackee and her courtwere hoping for no rain. Not only did royal-
ty get their wish, but the Wauseon Indiansmade their night even sweeter with a 40-0
win over the Patrick Henry Patriots.
Wauseon wasted little time showingthat they were there for business. On their
initial possession that covered 60 yardsin seven plays, Zac Robinson covered the
nal 32 of those yards to pay dirt. JoshWhitcomb added the point, and the Indi-
ans were up 7-0 with 9:29 remaining. It
was the winning combination of Robinsonto Jacob Newlove that helped the drive
along as well. Robinson found Newlovewith two straight receptions totaling 25
yards.Patrick Henry's offense was up against
perhaps the best defense in the league.
The NWOAL's leading ground gainerthrough ve games, Donny Johnson who
had amassed 508 yards, was turned ev-
ery which way but lose. Johnson was heldto just 42 yards in 18 carries. The seniorleadership Anthony Werder Noah Castle,
Peyten Shadbolt, Nate Suntken, Derek
Rupp allowed the Patriots rusher just 31yards on 28 carries and total offense of 93
yards.Meanwhile, while the Patriots were feel-
ing the wrath, the Indians offense took fulladvantage as their second possession re-
sulted in another score. This drive, a nine-
play 58 yard march, was complete withthree Robinson passes. Two to Zach John-
son totaling 18 yards, and a short dump
off pass to Newlove for ve yards. Robinsonfound the end zone again from one yard
out. The extra point was missed and the
Indians were up 13-0 with 5:08 left to playin the opening quarter.
Again, there was no room for the Pat-rick Henry Offense to run as their drive re-
sulted in a punt.Wauseon's third possession of the
night started strong as Robinson found his
tight end Noah Castle for a 16 yard pickup. But the Patriots' defense was able to
stop the drive as the rst quarter ended.Sounding like a broken record, the Pa-
triots were again three plays and out tostart the second quarter. Mason Creager,
turning into an exciting punt returner, ne-
gated a nice Patriots punt by returning it37 yards giving the Indians offense great
eld position at the Patrick Henry 20 yardline. It took Wauseon just ve plays to
cover the distance. Robinson found Cas-tle for a seven-yard touchdown pass. The
two-point conversion failed and the lead
expanded to 19-0 with 6:09 left in the half.The Patriots put together their longest
drive of the half on their next possession.After eight plays, however, the drive stalled.
Another nice punt return from Creager for19 yards put the ball on the Wauseon 42
for another crack by the offense. What
followed was Wauseon's rst three-and-out of the game. Suntken's punt gave the
Patriots possession at their own 18 yardline. After gaining a net of one yard, Pat-
rick Henry was forced into another punt.
Taking the ball over at the Patriot 49, Rob-inson completed passes to Newlove and
Castle to help move the ball down to the 3
yard line. Robinson scored on the seventhplay of the drive and Wauseon was roiled
to a 26-0 lead after Whitcomb split the up-
rights with :32 left in the second.The Patriots had an eight-play drive to
start the second half action. They man-aged two rst downs on the drive, but as
was the story of the night, they were forcedinto another punt. Again Creager helped to
put the Indians in good eld position. This
time the junior speedster returned the ball34 yards to the Patriots 45.
The Indians needed just ve plays tocover the 45 yards. Robinson found Cre-
ager for two straight pass receptions for13 yards. Then on a third and seven from
the Patriots 23, Robinson broke free and
scored his fth straight touchdown of thenight to make it a 33-0 lead with Whit-
comb's extra point with 6:40 remaining inthe third stanza. The lead led teams to fol-
low the new OHSAA rule of a running clockthe remainder of the game.
The Indians' defense added points to
the scoreboard on Patrick Henry's nextoffensive series. Senior Peyten Shadbolt
made his homecoming game special pick-
ing off a Mitch Bonner pass and returningthe ball for a 'pic six'. That drove the score
to the nal tally of 40-0 with 4:18 left toplay.
From beginning to end Wauseon ranaway with the statistical race. Robinson
was 15 of 21 passes for 155 yards and 1
touchdown. The senior signal caller wasalso the leading rusher with 56 yards on
14 carries and 4 touchdowns.Wauseon's offense ran 59 to PH's 39.
Total offense was 265 to 93 in favor of theIndians.
Now the focus of the Indians turns to
the Delta Panthers. Wauseon will travelto the home of the Panthers Friday for the
clash of the titans. Both teams enter thegame tied for the league lead with overall
records of 6-0.

CORRECTIONS & CLARIFICATIONS
By T.J. HugTHE VILLAGE REPORTER
(October 3rd, 2014)-GIBSONBURG:
Giving up most of its points in the rst
half, the Edon defense put their offense ina hole early into the game. The result was
a 62-35 loss.To be fair, the Bomber offensive assault
trailed off in the second half, creating only
8 points, but those 35 total points dis-played a strong showing by the Edon boys
on the road. It should also be mentionedthat the Golden Bears scored only 14 of
their points in the last two periods as well,so adjustments were made to rectify the is-
sues of the rst half.
Allowing 388 yards rushing and 7touchdowns on 43 carries made things dif-
cult for the Bombers, though.
Comparatively, Edon ran for 66 yardsin 24 attempts, though they found the endzone 3 times on the ground as well. Senior
quarterback Kaden Sapp rushed 16 times
for 81 yards and all three of those touch-downs, meaning some Bomber rushers
were caught behind the line of scrimmage.Sapp mostly moved the ball through
the air, however, going 21-38 on his wayto amassing 259 yards and 2 touchdowns.
He also threw 2 interceptions on the night.
Freshman Landon Bloir was his target ofchoice for most of the evening, bringing in
7 balls for 136 and both of Sapps touch-down tosses.
Edon lost the turnover battle against
Gibsonburg, coughing the ball up 5 timeswhile the Golden Bears refused to do so
even once.It should be noted that Gibsonburg is a
really strong team, and a force in the To-ledo Area Athletic Conference. Improving
to 6-0 on the season, and 3-0 in the TAAC,
the Golden Bears have played well all sea-son.
Getting off to a poor start defensivelyreally hindered the Bombers in this game.
Giving up 48 points in the rst half put alot of pressure on the Edon offense, who
scored enough points to, at the very least,
keep the game close.Perhaps the silver lining of this game for
Edon is that they seemed to have guredout how to slow down that Golden Bear
rushing attack. Run defense has been anissue all season long, but they may just
have found a way to rectify that issue.
This week, the Bombers travel to WestUnity to do battle with old foe Hilltop.

CONTINUATION OF FOOTBALL ACTION
By T.J. Hug
THE VILLAGE REPORTER
(October 3rd, 2014)-MONTPELIER: Be-
ing forced to rely on a back up quarter-back, particularly when the sixth ranked
team in the state is lining up on oppositeside of scrimmage, is never a good thing.
Throw in the pressures of Homecoming,and it's easy to see how the game mightget out of hand.
Giving up 56 points in the game, whilescoring none on their own accord, it's safe
to say this was the case for the Locomo-tives as they took on the Delta Panthers
Friday night. With Cody Caudill again tak-
ing up the mantle of starting quarterbackin the absence of Dylan Snyder, for the
second week in a row, Montpelier's offensejust couldn't gain any traction.
After running just one play less thanthe visiting Panthers, 42 to 43, the Locos
had only 100 yards of total offense to show
for itself, compared to the 448 amassed by
Delta.
Caudill led the aerial attack for Mont-pelier, going 5-17 for 49 yards and 2 in-
terceptions. Keaton Byers caught 2 of
those passes, racking up 29 of those yardsfor himself. Also with 2 receptions on the
night was Nate McCord, who had 6 yardsoff the catches. Alex Zuver was the recipi-
ent of the other Caudill completion, gain-ing 14 yards on the play.
The running game, of which Montpe-
lier's offense is especially dependant, wasnot there for the Locomotives. Dallas Roy-
er rushed for 3 yards on 7 attempts, whileJordan Birdsall was handed the ball twice
for -2 yards. Caudill himself struggled torun the ball, and avoid the Panther pass
rush as well, losing 12 yards on 10 rushes.
In fact, nearly the entirety of the Lo-cos 51 yards rushing came on their nal
possession of the game, after the startershad been removed from either team. Aus-
tin Grubb looked impressive on that drive,
earning 38 yards on just 2 carries. Bryce
Cooley made signicant gains as well,rushing for 24 yards on 4 attempts.
Defensively, Montpelier had no answer
for Delta. Rushing for 391 yards in 38 at-tempts, the Panthers averaged over 10
yards a carry. Completing just 2 out of 5passes, the visitors from Delta still man-
aged to make 57 yards through the air,with one of those completions going for a
touchdown. The Locomotives caught the
Delta offense behind the line of scrimmagejust once, with Hunter McKelvey making
the tackle.To put it simply, the Locomotive of-
fense is not the same without Dylan Sny-
der. Caudill does what he can, attempting
to make plays with his feet as well as hisarm, but he's a wide receiver. He's going
to struggle as long as he's behind center.
And while it's true that the Montpelier de-fense still wouldn't have been able to slow
the Panther attack down, it's possiblethat a more effective Locomotive defense
may have been able to limit their touchesthroughout the game.
Montpelier will have to put this game
out of their minds in a hurry, as a muchimproved Swanton team will be making
their way into Montpelier this Friday.

JV Football ActionTHE HOMETOWN HUDDLE
Montpelier Locos JV FootballTeam Blasts Evergreen
(September 27th, 2014): Still yet to
be beaten, the Locomotive Junior Varsity
Football Team continued its hot start tothe season by defeating Evergreen. The
NWOAL opponent found itself outmatchedby Montpelier, who won by a convincing 16
point margin.It was the Loco offense that ruled the
day, putting up an impressive 44 points
against the Viking defense. Evergreen
themselves were able to nd the end zonefour times, but those 28 points weren't
enough to keep pace with Montpelier.The victory improves the Montpelier
Junior Varsity incarnation to 4-0 on theseason.
Wauseon JV Shut Out Archbold(September 27th, 2014): In Wauseon,
kids don't play cowboys and indians. In-
stead, the Indians have always done battleagainst the Blue Streaks in back yards
across the area.As kids grow up and advance through
school, those games leave the realm of
fantasy and become reality. Thus wasthe case when the junior varsity incarna-
tion of the Wauseon Indians took on thoseBlue Streaks from Archbold in an NWOAL
grudge match.With a perfect 3-0 record on the line,
the Indians challenged their rivals on the
eld of play. In a lopsided affair, Wauseondominated the game, moving the ball at
will and refusing the same courtesy back toArchbold. In fact, holding the Blue Streaks
scoreless, the Wauseon defense didn't al-low their opponents to do much at all.
When it was all said and done, it was
the Indians of Wauseon who stood victori-ous over Archbold, 28-0. The Indians im-
proved to 4-0 on the season with the con-vincing victory.
One couldn't imagine a more perfectvictory in their back yard.
Wauseon JV Defeats Patrick Henry(October 4th, 2014): It was in convinc-
ing fashion that the Wauseon Junior Var-sity Football Team defeated the Patriots of
Patrick Henry.Generating 34 points of offense, the
Indians had no problem moving the ball.Given that they only allowed the Patriots
to nd the end zone a single time, resulting
in 8 points after a two-point conversion,those 34 points were more than enough to
earn the win.The victory improves Wauseon's record
to 5-0 on the season.

Rupp who led the way for Stryker in theirremarkable comeback against Hilltop.
In a match that went to ve sets, the
Lady Panthers found themselves on thewrong end of back to back 25-22 scores
and on the verge of losing the contest. Yetthey fought back against the Lady Cadets,
claiming game 3 25-19, and game 4 25-18to force a fth and nal game. Playing as

Edon & Edgerton Girls ExperiencePassion Of Rivalry Firsthand
(October 2nd, 2014)-EDGERTON: Noone wants to be on the losing end of a ri-
valry game.Sure, losing in general is a horrible or-
deal for any athlete, but there is an extra
layer of disappointment to facing defeatat the hands of one's most hated enemy.
A layer they don't even know exists untilcoming to the brink of experiencing it rst
hand.That was the situation in which Edon
found themselves against Edgerton.An early loss in the match had the Lady
Bombers playing catch up early, as they
fell in game 1 22-25. Game 2 saw the girlsfrom Edon even the series out with a 25-
15 win. Again, however, the Lady Bulldogswere able to take a 25-22 victory, this time
in the third set. Not willing to suffer thatmost awful of defeats, Edon took the next
two sets, 25-19 and 15-12 respectively to
claim the match and defeat their rival.Balance is the word to best describe the
performance of Alex Kiess, as the Edon girlhad 15 kills, 23 assists, and 9 digs. Team-
mate Kaela Gearhart was busy setting herteammates up all evening, recording an
astounding 32 assists in addition to 3 digsand an ace. Leading the Bombers in bothkills and digs was Nicole Newell with 15
and 13, respectively.
Pettisville Takes Down North Central(October 2nd 2014)-PIONEER: It can

Blackbirds, especially for their Buckeye
Border Conference competition. This wasthe task bestowed upon the Lady Eagles of
North Central on Thursday.Thanks to Jordyn Pursel and her 12
kills, 10 digs, and 3 aces, the Lady Black-birds controlled the road match through-
out. Earning game 1 with a 25-10 win, Pet-
tisville took game 2 as well, 25-6. With nocomplacency whatsoever, the Blackbirds
won game 3 25-11 to claim the match.
With 10 kills, 8 digs, 6 kills, and anace, Dana Fricke played a vital role in the
Blackbird victory. Stephanie Hubby's 20
digs and Kate Kauffman's 15 assists setthe stage for Pursel and Fricke to attack
the net all evening long.Keely Shaw worked the net for the Lady
Eagles, recording 4 blocks and 2 kills. Add-ing 5 assists, Rachel Oxender served as
the lynchpin of the North Central attack.
Teammate Alyssa Swank connected on 8passes and had 4 digs in the losing effort .
Edon Bombers Win OnThe Road Against Hilltop
(September 30th, 2014)-WEST UNITY:As the Bombers of Edon arrived at Hilltop's
gym, the Lady Cadets knew it would be achallenge to defend their home court.
Sporting a 12-5 record overall, with a6-1 in the Buckeye Border Conference,the Lady Bombers have established them-
selves as a force in the area. That beingsaid, the Lady Cadets didn't back down,
battling the visiting girls of Edon until theend of the match.
Edon got off to a strong start, taking
game 1 25-16, though the Cadets beganto nd their stride late into the set. Taking
Edon beyond the 25 point mark in game 2,Hilltop just barely lost the set 24-26. The
Lady Bombers pulled away late in the thirdgame, winning the set and the match 25-
17.Nicole Newell served as Edon's work-
horse, leading the team with 16 digs and11 kills. The Bombers would have strug-gled mightily if not for the 18 assists pro-
vided by Alex Kiess, who also managed tocontribute 6 digs, 4 kills, and an ace.
Baylee Schmitt offered the Cadets ateam-leading 11 assists to go along with
her 5 digs and 2 kills. Cierra Grant made 9

Montpelier Locos Lose HardFought Battle With Bryan
(October 2nd, 2014)-MONTPELIER:Hannah Blake did a bit of everything for
Montpelier in their game against Bryan,making 10 kills, 13 assists, 13 digs, and
3 aces on the evening. Despite that well
rounded effort, the Lady Locos still lost instraight sets to the Golden Bears, though
that is hardly indicative to the level of playdisplayed by the Montpelier girls.
The rst set was a slug fest, with nei-ther side willing to relent. The girls of
Bryan were able to gain just enough sepa-
ration to claim victory, winning the game25-21. Game 2 was even tighter, with the
Locomotives dropping the set 23-25. Onthe brink of losing the series, Montpelier
continued to play at a high level. Yet Bryan
was able to fend them off, as the Locomo-tive girls fell 24-26 to lose the match.
Landri McKelvey had a strong showingfor Montpelier in the loss, making 15 as-
sists, 12 digs, 5 kills, and 2 aces. SidneyHouk and Christy Duchene each recorded
21 digs for the Locos as well.
Stryker Panthers WinEndurance Test With Hilltop
(October 2nd, 2014)-STRYKER: With11 blocks, 9 kills, and 7 aces, it was Audra
Rupp who led the way for Stryker in theirremarkable comeback against Hilltop.
In a match that went to ve sets, theLady Panthers found themselves on the
wrong end of back to back 25-22 scores
and on the verge of losing the contest. Yetthey fought back against the Lady Cadets,
claiming game 3 25-19, and game 4 25-18to force a fth and nal game. Playing as
though the match depended on it, which
it did, both sides gave it their all. Strykerwas able to slip past the Lady Cadets for
the win, 15-13.The 17 assists of Maddie Uribes were
vital to the Panther victory effort, alongwith her 8 kills and 2 blocks. Brittany
Breier added 9 kills in the win as well.
Cadet Ariana Brown led the team inkills with 12, also contributing 3 blocks
and 2 digs. Baylee Schmitt gave the LadyCadets 20 assists, while Allie Schmitt add-
ed 19 digs, 11 kills, and an ace in the loss.
Edon Defeats Fayette In Four Sets(October 2nd, 2014)-EDON: Given their
7-1 record in the Buckeye Border Confer-ence, Edon can make for an intimidating
host for league opponents. That was notthe case when Fayette came to town, how-
ever.With 12 kills apiece, Jessie Wheeler and
Michaela Bates led the Lady Eagles into
battle, with McKenzee Schaffner and Han-
nah Machacek did most of the dirty workwith 44 digs and 29 assists, respectively.
Despite such efforts, Fayette fell to
Edon on that day. Yet the ght they dis-
played was admirable, taking the Bombersto four sets on their own court.
Edon took the rst game of the series in
a difcult 25-17 set. The excitement of thatwin propelled the Edon girls to a 25-11
win. With their backs against the wall, theLady Eagles mounted a come back, earn-
ing a game 3 victory 25-20. They couldn'tcomplete the rally, however, as Edon n-
ished the match with a 25-17 win to take
the match.
Kaitlin Chrisman nailed 4 aces for theBombers, also making 7 digs and 4 kills.Nicole Newell led Edon in both kills and
digs with 13 and 12 respectively. The 22
assists made by Kaela Gearhart was also abest for the Bombers on the evening.

Stryker Falls To Ayersville(October 4th, 2014)-AYERSVILLE:
Making the trek to Ayersville, the LadyPanthers readied themselves for a difcult
match.Even still, despite 5 kills and an ace by
Audra Rupp, 4 kills and 2 aces from Brit-
tany Breier, and 5 assists by Allie Frisbe,Stryker couldn't nd a way to steal a win
on the road against the Pilots.
At the start of the match, the Strykergirls found themselves down. They lost
game 1 13-25. Mustering the momentumfor a comeback proved difcult, and the
Lady Panthers fell short 16-25 in game 2.
Depleted from the loss, Stryker droppedthe third set and the match 10-25.
Wauseon Falls To Springfeld(October 4th, 2014)-WAUSEON: The 21
digs and 3 aces of Sariah Yackee weren'tenough to propel the Lady Indians past the
visiting Springeld team.Springeld got off to a fast start, and
Wauseon quickly found themselves on thelosing end of a 10-25 score. Game 2 saw
the Indians recover a bit, but they were
unable to usurp control of the match away
from Springeld, dropping the last twosets 18-25 and 17-25.
Hayley Chamberlain added 11 assistsfor Wauseon. Kierra Fountain contributed
8 kills, 6 digs, and 2 aces in the losing ef-fort.

North Central Eagles JV
Lose In Three At Home(September 29th, 2014)-PIONEER: De-
spite a strong showing by the Lady Eagles,
led by Peggy Michael and her 3 aces, theNorth Central Junior Varsity Squad was
unable to defend their home court againstthe Bulldogs of Swanton.
Early on, the North Central girls ap-
peared to be a bit over matched, losing
the rst set 10-25. Soaring to a victory in
game 2 proved they could play with theLady Bulldogs, however, as they took the
set 25-23. It was Swanton who securedthe match, though, as the Lady Eagles suf-
fered a 6-25 defeat in game 3.
North Central Eagle JV BeatsStryker In Straight Set
(September 30th, 2014): Riding thegreat performance of Allyson Fenicle, who
made 3 kills and 3 aces on the night, the
Lady Eagles of North Central were declaredthe victors in straight sets against Stryker.
The Lady Panthers fought hard, near-
ly taking game 1 for themselves. Theydropped the set by the slimmest of mar-
gins, 25-23. North Central used the mo-
mentum of that close win to power them-selves through game 2, claiming a 25-13
victory to win the match.
Wauseon Indian JV GoesDown In Three To Lake(September 29th, 2014)-LAKE: A strug-
gle would be the best way to describe it.
Wauseon traveled to Lake, intent onstealing a win from the hometown Flyers.
They played like it, too, though it wasn'tenough.
From game 1, both sides were wrestling
for control. The Lady Indians lost the set
23-25, but continued unabated. That per-
sistence paid off in game 2, as Wauseonclaimed a 25-20 win to force a third game.
A back and forth affair, the Wauseon girlscame up just short in the third set, drop-
ping the game 23-25 to lose the match.
Stryker Panther JV Takes HolgateTo Three Games, Falls Short
(September 29th, 2014)-HOLGATE:
Competing on the road can be quite dif-
cult, particularly for younger players.That didn't stop the Stryker Junior Varsity
Team from challenging the hometown Ti-gers of Holgate.
After dropping the rst game 17-25, the
Lady Panthers battled their way back into
the series with a 25-16 win of their own in
game 2. They gave their all in the third andnal game, but were unable to overcome
the home court advantage of Holgate.Stryker lost the set and the match 16-25.

that the Lady Bombers won in straight sets
is quite deceiving.Inviting the Eagles of Fayette to Edon,

the line. The Lady Eagles weren't intimi-
dated, however, and gave the Edon girls allthey could handle.
A struggle from the offset, the two teams
jockeyed for position in game 1. Fayettebattled hard, but lost a tough set 19-25.
Game 2 saw an even more determinedLady Eagles team come after the Bombers.

Wauseons Storybook SeasonComes To An End At DistrictsFINDLAY After a record setting sea-
son that saw the Wauseon Indians golfteam set numerous records, including
wins in a season and their third consecu-tive NWOAL championship, hopes were
high for a trip to Columbus heading intothe OHSAA Division II Boys District Golf
Tournament held at Red Hawk Run Coun-
try Club on October 2nd. Unfortunatelyfor the Indians the golf course outside of
Findlay was where their dreams of com-peting at the State Golf Tournament came
to an end.
Wauseons golfers battled admirably
to the nish, but were unable to secure aspot among the top two in the nine teameld. The Indians nished 7th overall with
a score of 353.Senior Trevor Dominique completed
his storied high school career with a ne
score of 78 to nish 6th overall in the eld
of 109 golfers and land a spot on the AllDistrict Tournament Team. Junior Brady
Rupp enjoyed a good day as well ending19th overall after shooting an 86. Da-
vid Williams closed the book on his highschool golf story with a 92, while Noah
Stickley and Tyler Clausen posted scores

Stryker, North Central Fall Short InBid To Qualify For State Tournament
BOWLING GREEN As has been thetrend for the past several years, the area
was well represented at the Division III
Boys District Golf Tournament held atStone Ridge Country Club in Bowling
Green on October 2nd.The Stryker Panthers, fresh off a regular
season that included an undefeated Buck-eye Border Conference Championship, as
well as a Sectional Title, had high hopes
of returning to the State Tournament forthe rst time since 2011. Although putting
up a valiant effort, the Panthers dreams ofa trip to Columbus fell short as the group
nished in 10th place overall in the eld of18 squads after ending with a team score
of 348. Tanner Clingaman led the way forStryker as he red a 79. The score, which
was good enough for ninth place overall,
was just one stroke shy of allowing thesenior to make a return trip to the State
Tourney. Chad Ruffer was next for the Pan-thers as he ended the round in 87 swings.
Hayden Clingaman and Austin Frisbeeposted scores of 91, while Cody Hall closed
out his high school golf career with a 95.
Making an appearance at the DistrictTournament for the fourth consecutive
year, the North Central Eagles were onceagain denied in their quest for the schools
initial trip to the OHSAA Division III StateGolf Tournament. Sophomore David Pinc
carded the low score for North Central witha 88, while classmate Brock Zuver nished
with a 94. Senior Jordan Reeves and Ju-
nior Dakota Pitts had rounds of 97, whileBrady Zuver had an even 100 in his nal
high school golf match. The Eagles n-ished 17th overall with a score of 376.
One other area golfer competed indi-vidually. Montpeliers Hunter Shaull, who
made his second consecutive trip to Dis-
tricts, shot a 91 in his nal high schoolgolf contest.
Unfortunately for the local contingents,the District they participate in is arguably
the toughest in the State having yieldedlast seasons State Champions. The trend
repeated itself this year as the same fourteams are once again advancing to the
state championships that will be held at
North Star Golf Club in Sunbury on Octo-ber 10 and 11.

(August 26th, 2014)-WEST UNITY: In-
viting the Lady Panthers of Delta onto theirhome court, the Junior High girls of Hill-top prepared themselves for combat. Only
half of the Cadet unit would win the day,however.
It was in impressive fashion that theSeventh Grade Lady Cadets defeated
Delta. In back to back sets, the Panthers
found themselves overwhelmed by Hilltop.Winning game 1 25-11, the young Cadets
saw t to repeat the feat, also taking game
2 by that same score to claim the matchfor themselves.
A harder ght and less pleasant re-
sult awaited the Hilltop Eighth Graders.Dropping game 1 to the Delta girls, Hilltop
found themselves on the wrong end of a16-25 score. Even with a valiant effort to
battle their way back into the match, they
fell short to the Lady Panthers in the sec-ond set 15-25.
Hilltop Cadet Junior HighLoses To Saint Paul
(August 28th, 2014)-NAPOLEON:Marching into Saint Paul's native gym,
the Junior High Lady Cadets were set toinvade the foreign territory. Yet it wasn't
meant to be, as the Hilltop girls were notable to overcome playing on the obstacle of
playing on the road.
Leaving everything they had on thecourt, the Seventh Grade Cadet Squad
made things a struggle for Saint Paul. Af-ter losing the rst set 13-25, the girls from
Hilltop struck back in game 2, taking theset 25-14. In the decisive third set of the
match, the Lady Cadets fell in epic fashion,losing the game 23-25.
Losing in straight sets masked the ef-fort of the Hilltop Eighth Graders. After
battling their way through most of the rst
set, Hilltop stumbled and Saint Paul tookadvantage with a 25-18 victory. A similar
outcome awaited the Cadets in game 2, asthey lost the set and the match 17-25.
Hilltop Junior High HostsEdgerton, Splits Matches(September 2nd, 2014)-WEST UNITY:
They may have been taken to a third and
nal set, but the Seventh Grade Lady Ca-dets were able to successfully defend theirhome court against the invading forces of
Edgerton.Both Hilltop Junior High Squads were
challenged by the visiting Bulldogs, with
varying results. The Eigthth Grade CadetUnit struggled mightily in the match, un-
able to nd a rhythm throughout. Drop-ping the rst set 7-25, the hometown girls
couldn't regroup for game 2. They weretaken down by Edgerton 4-25 in the sec-
ond set, losing the match itself.After a strong showing in game 1, claim-ing a 25-16 victory over the Bulldogs, the
Cadet Seventh Graders found themselvesdown early in the second set. The youth-
ful girls of Hilltop lost game 2 11-25. With
a third game becoming necessary, Hilltopresponded with poise and determination,
winning a back and forth affair with theEdgerton girls, 25-19.
Hilltop Junior High MarchesOut Of Fayette With Victory
(September 4th, 2014)-FAYETTE: In
their rst battle for the Buckeye Border,the Junior High Lady Cadets of Hilltop
were each able to secure a conference winearly into the season against Fayette.
After opening the year with three
straight losses, the Hilltop Eighth Graderswere nally able to achieve a win against
the Lady Eagles. The road to victory wasnot an easy one, however. Gaining an ad-
vantage in the match by winning a hard
fought game 1, 25-16, the second set was
a battle for Hilltop. Fayette rallied in an ef-
fort to force a third game, but fell short 19-25, giving the Lady Cadets that rst win of
the season.Earlier in the evening, the Seventh
Grade Cadets and Eagles squared off. Un-
able to keep pace with their Hilltop coun-terparts, the Fayette girls fell behind early
into the match and ever quite recovered.Losing the rst set 8-25, the Lady Eagles
dropped game 2 10-25.
Hilltop's Grounded Attack, Edon'sAerial Assault Split Victories
(September 11th, 2014)-WEST UNITY:
Fresh off their rst win of the season, the
Eighth Grade girls of Hilltop added a sec-ond to their collection, this time against
Edon.
Before that, however, the SeventhGrade incarnations of the Cadets andBombers met on the former's home court.
In a match that exhausted all three games,
the Edon girls got off to a hot start as theyclaimed the rst set 25-14. Refusing to get
swept up in the Lady Bomber momentum,
Hilltop earned a difcult victory in game
2 by the narrowest of margins, 25-22. A
game 3 was needed to determine the win-ner of the match, and both sides played
like it, with Edon just barely taking the set
and the match 25-22.With the excitement of the rst match
at an end, the Eighth Grade match was
decidedly more decisive. The Lady Bomb-
ers battled hard, but the girls from Hill-top were able to fend off their invasion in
straight sets of 25-15.
Hilltop Lady Cadets FendOff Bryan Golden Bears(September 15th, 2014)-WEST UNITY:
It was in dramatic fashion that the EighthGrade girls of Hilltop earned their third
straight victory, this time against the Gold-
en Bears of Bryan.Thanks to a 25-16 win in game 1, the
Lady Cadets enjoyed an early advantage.Yet Bryan came back ercely, taking the
second set 25-12. As the third and nalgame played on, it became readily appar-
ent that neither side had any intentionof backing down. When the dust cleared,
however, there could only be one winner,
and that winner was Hilltop by the slim-mest of margins, 26-24.
That match was preceded by Seventh
Grade action, though. After an extremelyclose game 1, which saw the Lady Cadets
obtain a 26-24 victory, the second gameproved a much lighter fare. Hilltop took the
set 25-7 to win the match.The victory improves the Seventh Grade
Cadets to 4-2 on the season.

Eighth Grade Lady Cadets have more wins

the trip to Stryker, the elder Cadets had towait their turn to play. The Seventh Grade
game was a back and forth affair, using allthree sets to pick a winner. The hometown
Panthers bounced back from a 25-15 de-
feat in game 1, staking their claim into the
second game with a 25-21 victory. Game
3 belonged to the visiting Cadets, though,taking the set and the match 25-11.

no time in their match with Stryker, gar-nering a 25-18 win in game 1. Ever resil-
ient, the Lady Panthers came roaring backin the second set with a 25-16 victory,

set off to face Buckeye Border Conferencefoe Hilltop on the Cadets own court.
It was with relative ease that the Sev-
enth Grade Hilltop girls defended theirhome court. The difculties of playing on
the road were a bit much for the young-er incarnation of Eagles, as they dropped
game 1 9-25 and game 2 10-25, allowing
the hometown Cadets to achieve victory forthe match.
Such success was not replicated by theEighth Grade Cadets, however. Engaging
