With the final results tabulated it's back to the drawing board for Dr. Dan Ross and his minions at the OHSAA.....By a 339-301 count, the schools have voted their conscience and have decided to keep things just the way they are.........

however, by reading some of the comments attributed to the commissioner and other media members it seems that this just will not die. The OHSAA keeps saying the "administrators from Wayne County" are somehow behind this revolt and are threatening to bring another proposal to the Board next year. Which brings me/us/RC to the real issue at hand....

A. Somebody believes that "some other schools" have unfair advantages vs. their school. Not academics, not the band program, and certainly not the Science or Quiz Bowl teams. Not sure about Latin Club or Audio Visual Club, but that discussion is for another day!

B. This morning on WIMA1150 the two morning announcers mentioned Hathaway Brown's girls basketball team......really?.....are there that many people who follow girls basketball who...

OHSAA Board Adopts Recommendation to Add Seventh Football Division
Division I Will Be Reduced to 72 Schools; Plan to Begin in 2013

COLUMBUS, Ohio – The Ohio High School Athletic Association will be adding a seventh tournament division in football beginning in 2013, Commissioner Daniel B. Ross has announced. The addition of a seventh division was approved by the OHSAA’s Board of Directors by a 6 to 3 vote during its regularly scheduled meeting on Thursday.

The plan will place the top 10 percent of schools based on enrollment in Division I, with the remaining 644 schools divided evenly among the next six divisions. This will leave 72 schools in Division I with the other six divisions averaging approximately 108 schools. Each of the seven divisions will continue to qualify 32 teams to the tournament. Cu...

The Arlington Lady Red Devils just completed a whirlwind season culminating in a Girls Basketball State Championship during the past month. The RC had a few minutes recently to sit down with one of the main cogs from that team to ask her a few questions about sports, school, and just life in general.......

You can tell from the first moment that you meet her that Amelia is well-grounded and knows where she's heading in life. As one of the by-now famous Recker Quadruplets, Amelia is a standout both on the court and in the classroom carrying a 3.87 GPA.

RC: Amelia, tell us what your plans are for the future both school and sports-wise?
Amelia: I will be enrolling at Huntington University this fall, majoring in Pre-Med. I will be playing basketball for Coach Culler
in the highly competitive Mid-Central College Conference.

RC: Favorite subject in school? And of course, least favorite!
Amelia: My favorite is Biology, and least favorite is Calc...

As another basketball season comes to an end, it's a good time to reflect back on what our RC members were treated to ....probably the biggest story was that of the Arlington Red Devils and both their boys and girls team's march to Columbus.....the Lady Devils defeated one of Ohio's most storied programs in the Berlin Hiland Hawks in the state finals to take home the trophy. A wonderful story that I'm sure will be talked about for a long, long time over there..........major congrats!

We also can't forget the OG, Jackson Center, and Toledo Whitmer boys teams from NW Ohio who all had great seasons, along with the Bath Wildkittens on the girls front........We had a state champ in wrestling also from the immediate area in DJ's Curtis Miller and many others who made the trek down to the Schott........hats off to you!!.............Yikes!!........here I posted this and made...
