Hilltop Makes Sigificat Improvemets,But not Eough To Stop Atwerp

By: Timothy Kays

THE REPORTER

The Hilltop Cadets and the Antwerp

Archers both found themselves in an

offensive blackout during their respec-

tive week one season openers. OnSeptember 6, they faced each other at

Daft Field in West Unity. To say some-

thing would have to give would be an

understatement, as things changed

with this game. Both teams had offen-

sive breakthroughs compared to last

week, with the Cadets discovering the

pass behind new signal caller, Quinn

Smith. Unfortunately for the Cadets,

their propensity to shoot themselves in

the foot continued, and Antwerp rode

the mistakes to a 30-18 win.

The biggest flaw, the susceptibility

to being suckered out of position by the

option, became painfully obvious for

the Cadets defense right out of the

gate. Unable to stop an Antwerp option

offense that rang up 308 yards on the

night, the Cadets found themselves

down by six after a 31-yard run around

the left side with 8:26 left in the first.

Jalen Towers and Justin Grapengeter

led an avalanche of red into the back-

field to block the PAT kick, but the tone

of the evening was set.

Smith led the Hilltop offense onto

the field, and another area in need of

improvement immediately came to the

fore as the first down pass was dropped.

The second down play was another

pass that netted a first down at mid-

field. The drive died on downs at the

Antwerp 44 though, giving the Archers

the ball. Their drive also died on downs,

giving ...

Montpelier Locomotives Get No Traction InTiger Country, Shut Out By Liberty Center

By: Storm Humbert

THE REPORTER

The Montpelier Locomotives trav-elled to Liberty Center on Friday,

September 6 to face off against the

Tigers. Though the history between the

two teams includes 88 games and the

overall record is pretty even (44-40-4 in

favor of Liberty Center) its been pretty

one-sided of late. And, sadly for

Montpelier, this game proved to be no

exception.

Things were bad from the start. The

visiting Locos would start with the ball

since Liberty Center won the toss and

deferred, however, the opening kickoffwas fumbled and the home team Tigers

recovered. LC scored in just three plays

making it a quick 7-0.

The first drive after the kickoff deba-

They moved the ball quickly and effi-

ciently against the Tigers and soon

Bombers Claim Route 49 Rivalry WithRout Of Edgerton In The Game

By: Kent Hutchison

THE REPORTER

EDGERTON- At the onset of thebackyard brawl between the Edon Blue

Bombers and Edgerton Bulldogs, the

guests made it very clear they had no

intentions of heading home without a

victory. After putting 46 points on the

board last week, the Bombers quick

strike offense picked right up where

they left off shooting out to a 35-6 half-

time advantage, and overcoming 13

penalties on the way to caging the

Bulldogs by a score of 48-26.

The aerial assault that amassed a

school record 349 yards last week, took

little time to get fired back up. Starting

the night on their 32 yard line,

Quarterback Kaden Sapps first attempt

sailed off target, then running back

Trevor Green was dropped for a two

yard loss. Facing third and twelve Sappconnected with Connor Hug for a 23

yard gain. Sapp called his own number

for a six yard pick up, then added 23

more to his passing stats when he hit

Brock Thiel. With the ball now resting

at the Bulldog 25, Sapp found a new

target, Mike Peeples, on a bubble screen

in the left flat. Peeples followed the wall

and broke free for the touchdown. After

Sapp hit Green for the two-point con-

version, the Bombers had covered the

sixty-eight yards to the end zone in just

1:44.

The Bomber defense held the

Bulldogs in check their first two posses-

sions, while Edgerton returned the favor

once to Edon. However, the Boys in

Blue got the ball back on their 31 yardline with 4:07 remaining in the first

quarter. A completed pass from Sapp to

Thiel gained four, except the play was

nullified by a holding call. Backed up to

their 17, the Edon O heated up in no

time. Sapp hit Peeples on a post over

the middle for a 51 yard gain and Green

added four more on the ground. It was

Sapp to Hug once again, this time for a

28 yard touchdown and still 3:06 was

left on the clock. After the extra point

attempt by Peeples missed right, Edon

was left with a 14-0 advantage.

Edgerton added a little spark to the

flame when Duane Miller hit Dallas

King on the first play from scrimmage

for a 60 yard touchdown. The extra

point attempt was not good, but sud-

denly the Dawgs were right back in ittrailing 14-6.

Edon needed just 58 seconds to

respond to the Bulldog score. Sapp ran

for five, then after an incompletion he

let Landon Bloir join the parade to paydirt when the duo connected for a 52

yard scoring strike. Thiel grabbed the 2point pass from Sapp to increase the

Bomber advantage to 22-6 with 1:49

remaining in the opening period.

Edgerton returned the kickoff totheir 36 yard line and promptly gained

five more on an Edon offsides penalty.

However that was about all the Bomberdefense allowed and the Bulldogs punt-

ed the ball back just into the second

stanza.Thiel returned the kick to the Bomber

33, and then the ground game took two

turns. Green moved the chains with a

ten yard run, followed by a 20 yardjaunt by Sapp. Hug caught a toss for

four yards on first down moving the ball

to the Edgerton thirty-seven. Sapp hadThiel open just short of the goal line,

but the aerial was just high. The junior

quarterback added ten more on the turf

before finding Hug for their second TDof the night from 23 yards out. The

extra point by Peeples sailed true; how-

ever the kick was nullified an illegalprocedure infraction. Sapp tried anoth-

er toss to Hug for the conversion; how-

ever the ball fell to the ground leaving

the Bombers with a 28-6 lead with10:12 left in the quarter.

Edgerton appeared to be poised to

cut the deficit when they moved the ballfrom their 45 to the Bomber 17 in 2:30.

However, the premise came to a crash-

ing halt when Jordan Whitaker pounced

on an Edgerton fumble at their 22 yardstripe.

Edon moved the ball to the 27, after

a Bulldog offsides penalty, and neededjust 1:43 to cover the 73 yards for

another score. Sapp to Thiel moved the

ball 37 yards, but Sapp lost three on theground. Another completion to Bloir

added 32 more. Sapp sprinted through

the heart of the Bulldog defense to cover

the final ten yards. Peeples split theuprights as the lead was pushed to 35-6

in favor of the Bombers.

Edgerton marched back on offensewith 5:42 left in the half. They method-

ically marched the ball to the Bomber

20, in just over three minutes. However,

history repeated itself as the Bulldogsput the pigskin on the turf and the

Bomber defense swarmed on the looseCONTINUED ON PAGE 3

ball at their 30, with 2:25 left before

halftime. Sapp to Thiel was good for 47

more, and Green galloped for nine on

the ground. Following two incomple-

tions, Sapp followed his line straight up

the middle for 2 yards and the first

down. However a high snap resulted in

a loss of nineteen and a sack lost anoth-

er 10 yards to send the game to half-

time.

What a half it was as Edon led 35-6.

Sapp had already broken the passing

yardage record he set the week before

as he finished 12-20 for 355 yards, with

four passing touchdowns and another

on the ground.The start to the second half mim-

icked the first for the home team as

Edon held the Bulldogs to a three and

out. Edgerton punted the ball to the

Edon 29 yard line. However, the turn-

over bug bit the Bombers on their first

offensive play of the half. Edgerton

pounded the ball on the ground in nine

plays to paydirt quickly cutting the

deficit to 35-12.

After exchanging punts, Edon got

the ball back on their 19 yard line.

Sapp lost the handle on first down, but

was saved by the hands of Wyatt Zulch.

However the trouble was just beginning.

A holding penalty followed, and then

another miscue led to Edgerton recov-

ery five yards short of the goal line. The

opportunistic Dogs needed just two

plays this time to cross the white stripe

of happiness and suddenly the seem-

ingly insurmountable halftime lead was

down to 35-17.

Edgerton realized they needed points

quickly and attempted an onside kick.

However, the Bombers were not sur-

prised and covered the ball at their 45

yard marker. The offense still looked

like deer in the headlights as the drive

started with a false start penalty and an

incomplete pass. Abruptly momentum

made a 180 degree turn back in favor of

the Edon. Sapp hit Peeples with anoth-

er bubble screen in front of the Bomber

bench. The senior split end zigged and

zagged across the field and back until

he was all alone with nothing but greengrass and a goal post in front of him.

Understandably winded, the Peeples

kick was off target. However, the jaunt

pushed the Edon lead to 41-18 with

1:17 left in the third quarter.

The score provided a much needed

boost of fuel into the Bombers tank as

Sapp picked off a Miller throw giving

Edon possession at their 25 yard line.

Green moved the ball 6 yards on the

ground, and a personal foul on Edgerton,

and then offsides on the Bulldogs

advanced the ball to just past the 50

yard line. A bad taste was left in the

mouth of the Bombers as the shotgunexchange sailed high and Sapp recov-

ered the errant snap back at the Edon

35 yard line as the quarter ended.

The final frame started like the previ-

ous one ended for the Bombers. A Sapp

pass intended for Thiel fell incomplete.

Then Edon went to the well once too

often as the bubble screen was read

perfectly by Edgertons Alex Michaels as

he stepped in front of the toss returning

the pick to the 11 yard line.

The Bulldog offense was frothing for

a comeback as they sprinted back on

the attack with 11:36 left in the game.

A low snap to Miller moved the leather

back to the sixteen. Two incompletions

followed setting the stage for the

Bombers put to rest any notions of aBulldog uprising. Facing third and 15,

Miller dropped back once again to pass.

Peeples read the mind of the Edgerton

signal caller as he stepped in front of

the toss racing 84 yards away from the

pack to seal the deal. Somehow there

was still enough adrenaline left in the

body of number 3 to split the posts and

drive the margin to 48-18 with 10:49

still to play.

Edgerton somehow dug deep enough

to answer with a thirteen play, 63 yard

drive that consumed over five minutes

off the clock to cut the spread to the

final of 48-26.

The Bomber reserves received an

opportunity the final 5:18 of the contest

and showed some bright glimpses of thefuture. Freshman Blake Thiel took over

where Sapp left off as he ran for 25

yards straight up the gut, then added

five more only to have it taken away on

the 13th and final Bomber penalty of the

night. Cameron Winners Castillo bust-

ed off a run of 13 yards, and then

Jordan Julian and everyone in atten-

dance heard his name over the PA after

gaining a yard. The younger and faster

Thiel added another yard to his total

and Julian added two more on fourth

down, putting the lid on the awesome

offensive output by the Bombers.

For the second straight week, Sapp

ended the night with the aforemen-

tioned school passing record of 416

yards, finishing 14-27 with five touch-

down tosses, and one rushing TD.

Peeples led the receiving corps with 3

catches for 138 yards and two touch-

downs, along with the 84 yard intercep-

tion TD. Hug had 6 grabs for 90 yards

and two scores, Bloir added 2 snags for

87 yards and one run to the endzone,

and Brock Thiel finished with 3 recep-

tions for 100 yards. Blake Thiel led the

ground game with 2 carries for 26

yards; Sapp carried the ball 12 times for

20 yards, while Green gained 16 yards

on 7 totes. Winner Castillo picked up

13 yards on one carry and Julian 3

yards on two attempts.

Now 2-0, Edon takes the trek a little

further south down Route 49 Friday

into Defiance County. The Bombers will

have to face the tough task of invading

Hicksville. The Aces, although 0-2 to

begin the season, will provide the tough-

est test yet for the Bombers. Kickoff will

be at 7:00 pm for the non-league affair.

Hilltop Makes Significant ...

the Cadets the ball back on their own

27. Again the Cadets were unable to

move the ball, and they punted the ball

away. The quarter ended with Antwerpup by six, and moving the ball via the

option.

With 7:58 remaining in the half, a

pitch right resulted in an untouched

three-yard run into the endzone to make

the score 12-0. A quick hitter to an

undefended receiver on the left side con-

verted the two-point PAT, making the

score 14-0. The Cadets again found

nothing but frustration on the offense,

but the defense had some success in

keeping the Archers out of the endzone,

leaving the score at 14-0 at the half.

Hilltop took the opening kick in the

second half, and went straight to work.

Grapengeter went around the right side

for a 14-yard gain to the Hilltop 29.

Chad Champion took an end around to

the left for six yards. Smith pulled theball down and went up the gut for a

short gain, making it third and three.

Miklo Abner took the next run off left

guard to move the sticks and give Hilltop

a first down at their own 39. From there,

the Cadets finally fired their first big

salvo of the season. With 9:35 remaining

in the third, Smith found Champion on

a short quick hitter around the left side.

The senior tailback did the rest, cutting

back toward the middle of the field then

hitting the afterburners for a 61-yard

touchdown. The PAT kick was blocked,

but finally, after six quarters and change,

the Cadets had their first touchdown of

the year.

Sensing the potential for a momen-

tum swing, the Archers went back totheir old reliable...the option. Piece by

piece, the real estate added up until with

3:55 left in the third, a one-yard run

reopened the 14-point lead for Antwerp.

The lead expanded to 16 with the two-

point PAT pass, and the quarter closed

with Hilltop staring down a 22-6 deficit.

The Archers put the dagger in with

just 32 seconds gone in the fourth. The

Hilltop defense held on a fourth and goal

from their own six. Needing to make up

for lost time and lost points, the Cadets

were returning to the air...and the

Archers were waiting for just that. The

first down pass fell incomplete, as did

the second down pass. On third down,

Smith fired the ball over the middle,where it was intercepted at the line of

scrimmage and returned for a pick-six.

The two-point PAT made it 30-6, but

Smith and the Cadet Cadre were far

from finished.

Towers blindsided the Antwerp quar-

terback before he could execute the

option, forcing and recovering a fumble

that gave the hometown boys the ball at

their own 40. The offense misfired, but

the defense buried Antwerp with a third

and 27. As it had been all night, another

option run made it a fourth and two. It

came as no surprise that the Archers

elected to try the option again on fourth

down, but they ran it directly at Cayden

Blaisdell, who blew the play up short of

the first down marker at their 35. TheCadet offense went back to work.

The Cadets quickly found themselves

staring at a fourth and ten, but a quick

flip right to Austin Batt moved the

chains with a 15-yard gain. The drive

ended when Abner took a little toss in

the backfield, went around the left side,

cut to his right and ran the ball 30 yards

for a score with 4:59 left. After a false

start penalty, the PAT failed, but the

score was 30-12, and the Cadets were

still working the clock for more.

Hilltop executed an onside kick to

perfection on the ensuing kickoff, recov-

ering the ball in Antwerp territory. With

the defense expecting Smith to unload,

they were double-crossed when Smith

gave the ball to Champion, who blew

through the defense for a 40-yard score.

The PAT failed again, and the scoring

came to an end with Hilltop on the short

end of a 30-18 decision.

Smith was 11 of 33 for 177 yards, 2

touchdowns and 2 picks in his debut.

Champion snagged 3 passes for 81

yards and a score, while Abner grabbed

4 for 58 yards and a touchdown.

Grapengeter had a catch for 19 yards,

Batt one for 14, and Logan Brooker one

for 8.

Champion ran the ball 5 times for 58

yards and a touchdown, while Abner

went 6 times for 40 yards. Smith ran 9

times for 20 yards, Grapengeter went

once for 14, and David Smith ran once

for 2 yards.

The Cadets will work to sharpen theiroffense and tighten their defense in

preparation of their first road game,

Still, the Locos foughthard. On Liberty Centersnext possession, withthe Tigers pushing deepinto Montpelier territory,the defense made atough stand just outsidetheir own red zone. Theystopped the Tigers on ahuge fourth down withonly two yards to go.

This gave the Montpelieroffense the ball andswung some momentumin their favor.

This push, however,

was not enough. Thedrive which started withthe big turnover ondowns caused by the

The nal meeting between the rte. 108rivals will go down in the history books

as belonging the Wauseon Indians as the

Tribe dominated the Napoleon Wildcats34-21 Friday at Harmon Field.

Napoleon wasted little time in takingthe early lead on a ve play, 61 yard drive.

On a halfback pass, Zach Strall found An-

son Lankenau all by himself in the second-

ary for a 45-yard strike at the 9:42 mark.

Wauseon answered right back. On theirrst play from scrimmage, Ty Suntken

completed a 36 yard pass to Kris Boyseland the Indians were on the move. Three

plays later Suntken connected with his big

tight end, Noah Castle for a 35 yard touch-down pass as the Indians covered the 80

yards in four plays. Josh Whitcomb's kickwas good and the Indians tied it up at 7-7

with 8:00 left in the rst quarter.Napoleon had one more chance to score

in the rst quarter, but a beautifully ex-

ecuted blocked eld goal attempt by NateSuntken ended the threat and gave the

momentum back to Wauseon.The second quarter saw the Indians

strike rst on an 11 yard pass from Sunt-

ken to Zac Robinson at the 7:16 mark of

the quarter. The seven-play 73 yard drive

included the arm of Suntken once againas the senior leader hit Castle with a 14

yard strike, then found Derek Rupp for a39 yard gain.

The Indians lost a fumble that led to aNapoleon score on their next possession.

The Wildcats took full advantage taking

over possession on the Wauseon 35 yardline. Four plays later they were in the end

zone when Devon Armour galloped 25yards to paydirt with 1:37 left in the half.

Logan Peckinpaugh's kick was good andthe game was again tied at 14-14.

Wauseon second fumble occurred on

their next possession and again the mis-

take cost them as Napoleon used the re-

maining seconds perfectly for a 4-play 41yard drive to take a late rst half lead 21-

14 on a 12-yard pass from Blake Dunbarto Nate Rohrs with :06 seconds left on the

clock.

The Indians came out in the second halfred up, and Ty and Nate Suntken had a

special motivator to keep them focused onthe game as a side light to this game story.

Suntken's grandmother, Diane Suntken,

was seeing four of her grandsons play.

She also had two grandsons on the Napo-

leon team. She had never seen Ty play be-

fore and Suntken was well aware that his

Grandma was on hand to watch. And in

the second half of action he certainly did

not disappoint her.

Suntken started by bursting for a 36

yard hard fought run to the Napoleon 13.

The offensive line of Caleb Andrews, Josh

Kauffman, Alec Vonier, Anthony Werder

and Cesar Juarez continued throughout

the second half to open huge holes for their

backs. After taking a loss back to the 21

yard line, Suntken found Boysel for a 21

yard touchdown strike to bring Wauseon

to within one point at 21-20. Whitcomb

missed the extra point to the right.

The Indians defense led by Aaron

Schuette, Vonier and company thwarted

the Wildcats on their next possession and

took over the ball at the Wauseon 32.

The big play of what would prove to be

the next Wauseon scoring drive was again

with a Suntken to Boysel connection for

25 yards to the Napoleon 43. Five plays

later the Indians, with the churning legs of

Suntken went ahead on the quarterback's

four yard touchdown run giving the Indi-

ans a 26-21 lead. The Indians went for a

two-point conversion, but it failed.

Napoleon put a sustained drive together

on their next possession and drove the ball

down to the Wauseon 29 yard line. But

on a rst and 10, the ever-present Boysel

was on the scene for an interception and

returned the ball to the Wauseon 28 to end

another Wildcat scoring threat.Wauseon cashed in with that turnover

as they drove three plays for 72 yards. The

highlight play of the game, and the play

that everyone will talk about was on third

and three, Suntken called his own number

and scampered 65 yards at the 2:21 mark

to put the icing on the game with a 34-21

victory.

COLUMBUS GROVE - The firm of

yers, they certainly have the high power

gig down stone cold. This group of

ladies were up front as their Wauseon

Lady Indians placed second in the

August 31 Columbus Grove Invitational.

The Tribe power was made more than

apparent by looking at the numbers.

Taylor Vernot placed first overall...44

seconds ahead of the runner up. Aneesa

Volkman took third, and Aleea Volkman

was thirteenth. The #20 spot belonged

to Kylie Archibeque, and Seneca Wyse

outgunning second place Hicksville by

Stryker tied for the third place finish

with scores of 330, with Tanner

Clingaman of Stryker hitting a 75 and

Branden Turner of North Central firing

a 76. The Edon Bombers rode Taylor

Schullers 82 to the ninth place finish,

while Hilltop placed eleventh behind an

87 from Isaac VanArsdalen.

The Montpelier Locomotives finished

six strokes off Hilltops pace for a score

of 382 and twelfth place behind an 83

from Hunter Shaull. The PettisvilleBlackbirds placed 13th behind Matt

Krills 88, and with Riley Martin hoist-

ing a 92, the Fayette Eagles took 14th

with a score of 396.
