Wauseon Indians Come Up Short AgainstArchbold In An NWOAL Defensive WarWAUSEON - Defense proved to be

the key for the Wauseon Indians and

the Archbold Blue Streaks in NWOAL

action on November 30. Unfortunately

for the Tribe, it was the defense of their

Route 2 rivals that proved to make the

difference.

After battling at a 12-12 tie after the

first period, Archbold was able to gain a

two point advantage at the half and

expand the lead to four after three. A

5-3 rally in fourth period scoring put

the Indians on the sorry end of a 36-34

decision at the end of the season debut.

Corry Byers drained a trio of treys to

lead Wauseon with 13 total points. Zac

Robinson nailed a trifecta to finish with

7 points. Jacob Newlove and Noah

Castle each connected on 5 points, and

Kris Boysel and Zach Johnson each had

2 points for the 0-1 / 0-1 Indians.

Edon Bombers Survive Furious FairviewRally To Win Season Opener, 56-55

SHERWOOD - Up by double digits at

the half, the Edon Bombers saw the

Fairview Apaches creep within five after

three points on November 30. By the

middle of the third, the Boys in BomberBlue realized that the ambush was on,

and they were in no longer in cruise

control. The Apaches went on a 20-16

roll in the final frame, but their rally fell

a point short in a 56-55 final decision.

Mike Peeples pounded the paint for a

team-high 14 points for the Bombers,

while Jacob Brown had 13 points and

Kaden Sapp 11. Brock Thiel drained 10

points, River Wicker had 5 points, Alex

Kirkingburg 2 points, and Landon Bloiradded a free throw.

Hilltop Cadets Stand Their Ground ToFend Off Emmanuel Christian Rally

WEST UNITY - Like their military

namesakes, the Cadets of Hilltop

refused to surrender their ground

against Emmanuel Christian onDecember 3, but they knew that they

were in a slugfest after securing a sea-

son opening 45-43 win.

EC took the Cadet Cadre on an early

17-11 run, but the hometown boys ral-

lied and mounted the charge in the sec-

ond. With EC shooting blanks, the

Cadets ran off a 17-3 rally that put

them up 28-20 at the half. After three

their lead was up to nine, but the visi-

tors wanted to get in the last word. They

came close to succeeding as their coun-

terattack drained the Hilltop lead down

to a single possession at 45-43, but thatis where the clock ended the rally.

Erik Stipe led all scorers with 16

points for the 1-0 Cadets, with Quinn

Smith adding 13 points and 5 boards,

and Miklo Abner hitting for 9 points and

4 rebounds. Jalen Towers put in 4

points, Kelby Grime had a deuce and 5

dimes, and Ryan Brooker hit a free

throw,

FAYETTE - Although neither team

got out of the gates and set the nets

afire, it was the Fayette Eagles who dis-

covered their offensive punch first

against Edon on December 5. Once the

offense was in place, the speed of their

team defense kept the Boys in Bomber

Blue at bay, allowing the Eagles to post

a 49-29 BBC win on their home court.

Koby Bombs Away Biddix led all

scorers with four treys and 16 total

points for the Eagles, with Tyler Cox

Puts A BBC Hurtig O north Cetral

PETTISVILLE - The friendly confines

of The Birdcage in Pettisville proved tobe less than enamoring for the bigger

birds of the North Central Eagle variety

on the evening of December 5. The

hometown Blackbirds began hammer-

ing the hoops early and often, putting

North Central in an early hole from

which they could not extricate them-

selves in an embarrassing 62-38 BBC

road defeat.

Eli King led all scorers by connecting

on 11 of his 19 points from the line,

while Jeremy Mann contributed 16 and

Jacob Reyes 10. Korben Rychener land-

Wauseon Indians Huge Rally TomahawksThe Tigers Of Holgate On December 5th

WAUSEON - Count the Wauseon

Indians down at your own peril.

The Holgate Tigers traveled to Indian

City on December 5, and were holding

the hometown boys at bay through the

first period. The tomahawks were raised

for the counterattack in the secondperiod though, and the second and

third period rallies against the Tigers

proved to be more than sufficient, turn-

ing a 12-10 deficit into a 56-37 blowout

win at the final buzzer.

Noah Castle had a game-high 16

points for the Tribe, and Jacob Newlove

scored all 12 of his points during the

second and third period counterattack.

Zach Johnson, Kris Boysel and Carter

Bzovi each put a half-dozen down, while

WEST UNITY - If the Hilltop Cadets

can consistently get four quarters of

first and third periods that did them in

on this night, and convincingly so. The

Panther Pack outgunned the Cadet

Cadre by a combined total of 37-11 in

the first and third periods, building a

lead that transitioned into a 67-44 BBC

beatdown of their hosts.

Hannah Bleikamp Leads Hilltop Lady CadetsTo A Win Over Stryker Lady Panthers

STRYKER - The Cage in Stryker is

not for the faint of heart. Keeping com-

posure while the volume level becomes

volcanic is hard enough...keeping up

with the human hornets nest called the

Stryker Lady Panthers is another thing

entirely.

The Hilltop Lady Cadets and the

Panther Pack have had their share of

BBC brouhahas over the years, and up

to recently the Ladies in Red have his-

torically been cannon fodder to theirown cause. Like a swarm of angry hor-

nets, the Lady Panther defense would

begin the intimidation process early,

converting turnovers into points, and

points into blowouts.

On December 6, echoes from the

past were again answered, but the

realities of the present chimed in as

well. Stryker forced 21 turnovers from

the Lady Cadets, but unlike the past,

the Hilltop girls were not shaken. What

used to be an intimidation process

became determination, and behind a

game-high 16 from Hannah Bleikamp,

the Lady Cadets posted a 49-41 BBC

win over their arch-nemeses.

Destiny Denton and Emily

Armbruster backed Bleikamp with 11

and 10 points respectively. LeAnn Joost

put down 6 points, Kailey Creamer

added 4 points, and Kayla Settlemire

had 2 for the Lady Cadets.Conner Varner led the Lady Panthers

Kaitlin Chrisman Goes Off For 23, ButFayette Still Dominates Edon In BBC Play

EDON - The Defending BBC

Champion Fayette Lady Eagles have yet

to show a sign that they are tired ofwearing the crown. The Edon Lady

Bombers found that out first hand on

December 6.

Despite the fact that Kaitlin Chrisman

gave the hometown faithful in The

Hangar something to smile about with

her career-type performance, the Lady

Eagles had more than enough offense to

cover, and more than enough defense to

stifle Chrismans teammates. The junior

letterwinner blew up the Fayette defense

for a game-high 23 points, but seven

other teammates combined were only

able to match her offensive output as

the Belles in Bomber Blue were handily

hammered by Fayette, 64-46.

Taylor Griffiths led the Lady Eagleswith 18 points, with Kaela Seiler and

Alexis Fruchey each dropping a dozen.

Katelyn Bates had 10 points, Paige

Keefer 5, Michaela Bates 4 points, and

By: Bill BrayTHE VILLAGE REPORTER

When the Bluffton University footballteam took on Deance College recentlytwo old teammates from Wauseon HighSchool suited up and took to the eld onthe opposing sides.

2012 WHS graduates Kyle Wilson(Deance College) and Troy Lind (Bluff-ton University) reunited on the same

eld but in different colors this timearound. Both are pursuing their dreamsat the colleges they chose over two yearsago. And both, happy to say, are doingvery well with the decision.

Wilson is pursuing a degree in Nurs-ing while Lind is double majoring in Ex-ercise Science and Strength and Condi-tioning.

Both Wauseon graduates certainlyhad to do some adjusting to the collegeroutine but seem to be settling in quitewell. My in season schedule is very hec-tic and busy, Lind said. It denitelywears you out physically and mentallyas the season goes on. From taking 17credit hours, morning lifting, practices,position meetings, studying, and watch-ing lm there isnt much free time. Atsome points it is very hard to balance itall, but I am very thankful for having agreat coaching staff behind me to holdme accountable for being a student rstand an athlete second.

Wilson concurred with Linds senti-ments. My schedule is very hectic dur-ing the season especially with having anursing major. So in season my sched-ule is about 90% football and schoolwith many mornings waking up at 6 amor earlier and requires some good timemanagement skills.

Both young men had standout ca-reers at Wauseon but Wilsons All-Ohioselection was the only one from the 2011team. With the high school careers be-hind them, they both knew that footballneeded to be part of their college livesjust as it had been for their growing up

years.I had a chance to continue playing

my favorite sport and a lot of guys donot get this opportunity so I decided notto pass it up., Wilson explained. I alsoknow that my parents may miss watch-ing me out there on the eld so I guredit would be nice to give them a few extrayears to watch me play. No one else inmy family has ever played college foot-ball before so it was just too good of anopportunity to not take and maybe I willeven be able to start a family tradition.

As for Lind, football has been a partof his life since he can remember. Therewere several inuences in my life thatmade me want to continue my footballcareer at the collegiate level, Lind said.The main reason I had was that mybrother and I grew up always dreaming

about playing college football and havingthat as our dream. So naturally when wehad the opportunity to make it a realitywe both decided that it was still a dreamwe wanted to reach in our lives.

They both have Wauseon and thefootball program here to thank for muchof their success and they certainly thinkfondly of the old days. I have taken alot of things with me from Wauseon toBluffton, Lind said. Probably the mostimportant thing would have to be alwaysworking hard, even when the seasonisnt going the way you want. I had thehonor of having so many amazing in-dividuals in my life to look up to thatinstilled this in me, the two such rolemodels were Coach Ryan ODell and myfather Tom Lind. Thanks to these men I

have learned that the only thing you cando after a tough loss in any aspect of lifeis to show up for practice the next dayand continue to work hard.

Wilson continued by saying, At

Wauseon I learned my fundamentals ofcourse and I developed a great on theeld motor and work ethic. I also hadsome rough spots in my football careerand those low points really helped pushme to excel even more at the game and ifit was not for my successful senior sea-son and coach Cooper encouraging guysto go out and play college football thenchances are I would not be playing col-lege football.

As for their positions, both athletesnd themselves on the defensive side ofthe ball as Wilson is starting at defensiveend for the Yellow Jackets while Lind isa back up linebacker and on the specialteams for the Beavers.

Challenges are always present asthey continue to perfect their skills atthose positions. The biggest challengefor me? Wilson said If I mess up andlose contain everyone knows that it wasme. As for Lind Making all the appro-priate reads is a challenge. From the runpass read, to the ow of the play, all in asplit second.

College football life is different to besure but both young men are in agree-ment that they are happy they made theleap but also see the challenge in it. Ithas ended up being a more enjoyable ex-perience than I expected, Wilson said.The team chemistry and coaches arewhat surprised me the most. They reallydevelop an atmosphere for you to exceland grow as a football player which hasled to a big part of my success so far atDC.

In a lot of ways it isnt how I expectedit to be, Lind said. College is all aboutmaking time for everything especially incollege athletics. I was expecting all of itto be a lot of work and I was denitelyright about that part, but you have toput in a large amount of time in the lmroom week in and week out on top ofyour studies. This doesnt leave as muchroom as you expect for the college lifeyou see on TV.

In their young careers they both have

highlights already that they will takewith them in their memories. For Wil-son, Being able to play on one of thenations top ranked defenses and theopportunity to have a starting job as asophomore.

Linds highlight for his sophomoreseason, At this point in the season thehighlight of the season is practicing inPaul Brown Stadium on our over nighttrip. It was a great chance to get to knowsome of the younger guys and practicein one of the nicest elds around.

There is little doubt that these twone student athletes will make manymore memories over the next few sea-sons at their respective schools. And tothink that it all started for both of themin Wauseon is certainly something to beproud of.
