    Indians Come Out On Top InNon-Conference Action Against Pettisville

    By: Mitchell Peebles

    THE VILLAGE REPORTER

    Pettisville 2/15/14The Pettisville

    Blackbirds and Wauseon Indians went

    to battle in their annual matchup. The

    schools are separated by a mere ve

    miles, which has only added to the ri-

    valry between the two schools through-

    out the years. This years renewal of that

    rivalry was won by the Indians, as the

    Tribe rolled to a 55-27 victory over the

    Blackbirds.

    Both squads were evenly matchedthrough for the rst half of the opening

    quarter, as at the 5:30 mark of the rst

    quarter, Pettisville and Wauseon were

    tied at four points a piece. The Indians

    soon created a bit of separation, scoring

    seven straight points to go on top 13-

    6. It looked as if the Indians were going

    to stop Pettisville from scoring for the

    remainder of the rst period, that was

    until Pettisville senior Austin Dykstra

    nailed a 15 footer with only ve seconds

    remaining in the opening quarter to

    end the Blackbird scoring drought, and

    make the score 13-8 in favor of the Tribe

    at the end of the rst stanza.

    The spark at the end of the rst quar-

    ter gave Pettisville some momentum as

    the second period of play began. At the

    6:26 mark of the second quarter, Black-

    bird junior Tate Kauffman drained a

    three point shot to bring Pettisville with-

    in two of the Tribe, 15-13. However, that

    Blackbird momentum would not last for

    very long, as in the nal six minutes of

    the rst half, Noah Castle and Kris Boy-

    sel would take over the contest, leading

    the Indians on a 15-2 run to end the rst

    half of the contest. Castle racked up 14

    points to lead all scorers in the rst half.

    The Wauseon run put the Tribe quickly

    in control of the contest, leading 30-15

    at the intermission.

    The Blackbirds looked to get them-

    selves back in to contention as the sec-

    ond half opened up, but the vaunted

    Indian defense came alive in the third

    quarter, holding Pettisville to only four

    points in the third period. Boysel con-

    tinued his hot streak, and was assisted

    by junior teammate Jacob Newlove who

    hit a three late in the quarter, helping

    the Indians grow their lead to 42-19 as

    the third quarter buzzer sounded.

    As the fourth quarter began, the Tribe

    was rmly in control. Pettisvilles Jacob

    Reyes was not going to go out without a

    ght, as the senior made sure to score

    his nal points on the court he called

    home for four years. However it was not

    enough to chip away at the Wauseon

    lead, as the Tribe would go on to win by

    a score of 55-27.

    With the win, Wauseon moves to 15-5

    on the season, and is 6-1 in NWOAL

    play. Pettisville falls to 11-10 on the

    year, and 7-2 in the BBC.

    For the Blackbirds, Dykstra led the

    way with ten points. Noah Miller and Eli

    King both scored four, Tate Kauffman

    put down three, Jeremy Mann, Jacob

    Reyes, and Korben Rychener all nished

    with two points.

    Castle set the pace for Wauseon with14 points. Newlove contributed 11, Boy-

    sel scored 10, Zach Johnson tallied up

    six, Dillon Schantz and Zac Robinson

    both put up four, and Caleb Andrews

    and Corry Byers rounded out the night

    with three points a piece.

    Montpelier Locomotives DisarrangeThe Northwood Rangers On The Road

    NORTHWOOD: February 15, 2014

    The Montpelier Locomotives went on the

    road to take on the Northwood Rang-

    ers on February 15. The TAAC attack

    was not enough to untrack the NWOAL

    ambassador Locos on this evening as

    Nate McCord knocked down 15 points

    and Alex Matzinger added another 12

    as Montpelier came home with a 51-37

    win.

    Parker Houk dropped in 9 points for

    the Locomotives, with Dylan Snyder

    adding 4 points, Kyrin Schuman and

    Michael Blake 3 apiece, Jared Shoup

    and Dalton Surbey 2 points each, and

    Jacob Leung one point.

    Bulldogs Pile Onto TheNorth Central Eagles On HomecomingPIONEER: February 15, 2014 As

    Homecoming King Clayton Ferguson led

    his North Central Eagle teammates to

    the locker room to lace 'em up prior to

    the February 15 game against the Edg-

    erton Bulldogs, no one could imagine

    what was coming at the opening tip.

    The theme for Homecoming Night,

    'Fire and Ice', turned out to be more

    a prophecy than a mere theme. North

    Central came out brutally cold to sup-

    ply the ice, and Edgerton couldn't miss,

    bringing a torch to the Homecoming cel-

    ebration with a 60-27 blowout.

    The Bulldogs pitched an 18-0 shut-

    out in the rst period, and by the time

    the intermission rolled around, the Ea-

    gles were down 32-4...their worst offen-

    sive display in years.

    The barrage continued into the third

    when Ferguson led the Eagles back to

    life, but the second half efforts were

    more than countered by the Bulldogs

    that were still attempting threes into the

    fourth period.

    Ferguson led the Eagles with 11

    points, while Jordan Reeves and Dylan

    Hutchison each had 5 points, and Brady

    Zuver, Jordan Bailey and Josh Roesner

    each had 2 points.

    Wauseon Indians Unfazed By EvergreenSlowdown Measures In NWOAL Win

    WAUSEON: February 14, 2014 A

    slowdown offense has its good points,

    but if your defense cannot get your op-

    position to play along, it is all led un-

    der the same category...moot.

    The Wauseon Indians were certainly

    in non-compliance with the Evergreen

    slo-mo offense as they jumped out to an

    early lead and built on it for four quar-

    ters on February 14, nishing the nightand the Vikings with a 43-23 win.

    Jacob Newlove nished with a game-

    high 13 points for the Tribe, who are

    still a part of the logjam at the top of

    the conference. Zac Robinson and Corry

    Locomotives Suffer Big Loss ToNWOAL Foe Swanton

    By: Mitchell Peebles

    THE VILLAGE REPORTER

    SWANTON 2/14/14The 2013-

    2014 season did not end the way the

    Montpelier Locomotives wanted it to, as

    they suffered a 84-40 trouncing at the

    hands of NWOAL rival Swanton.The Bulldogs wasted little time tak-

    ing complete control of the contest, as

    they jumped out to an 18 point lead in

    the rst quarter, outscoring the Locos

    24-6 in the opening quarter.

    Things did not get much better for

    Montpelier in the second period, as they

    again were outscored by a double digit

    margin, this time on the short end of a

    26-7 decit. At the break, the Bulldogs

    of Swanton led the Montpelier Locomo-

    tives by a convincing 50-13 margin.

    While the third quarter was not as

    lopsided as the rst two had been, Mont-

    pelier was unable to keep the Bulldogs

    from pulling away even more than they

    already had. The Loco offense was able

    to score ten points in the third quarter,

    but gave up 19 on the defensive end,

    making the score 69-23 at the end of

    three quarters of action.

    Montpelier was able to close the gap

    in the fourth quarter, but it was too late

    to start building any momentum. The

    Locos won the fourth quarter 17-15, butmaking the nal tally 84-40 in favor of

    the Swanton Bulldogs.

    Matzinger led the Locos with seven

    points in the contest. Surbey was able

    to put up ve, Houk, McCord, Schuman,

    and Hulbert all contributed four, Leung

    and Lyons both scored three, and

    Shoup, Matson, and Snyder nished the

    night with two points of the Locos.

    STRYKER: February 14, 2014 The

    Pettisville Blackbirds sealed the deal on

    another undisputed BBC championship

    on February 14, wresting it from the

    Fayette Eagles by means of a 38-35 de-

    feat of the Stryker Panthers in The Cage.

    The win did not come easy for the

    Birds. Pettisville jumped out to an early

    lead, and built on it for an eight pointadvantage at the half. They held that

    lead until the fourth where the panthers

    mounted a late rally, only to have the

    clock cut them off three points short of

    the mark.

    the BBC Champion Blackbirds with 12

    points, with Austin Dykstra getting 7.

    Frigid First Half Shoots DownHilltop In BBC Play Against Fayette

    WEST UNITY: February 14, 2014

    The Hilltop Cadets have struggled all

    season long with consistency, and with

    Fayette in the house on February 14,

    the old bugaboo returned to bite the

    hometown boys.

    Hilltop posted a second half advan-

    tage of 25-16 over the Eagles, a difcult

    task against their defense. That advan-

    tage was not enough to atone for a pal-try ve-point output in the rst half that

    allowed Fayette to come away with a 35-

    301 win.

    Koby Biddix continued his torrent

    of treys, landing four for Fayette and

    a game-high 12 points. Chandler San-

    ford put up 8 points, Jerad Seiler 6,

    Tristan Bates 4 points, Wade Burkhold-

    er drained a trey, and Grant Schaffner

    had a deuce.

    Quinn Smith landed 11 points for the

    Cadets, with Miklo Abner ring off 8.

    The Pettisville Blackbirds may have had

    a rm hand on the BBC title for 2014,

    but the NWOAL Liberty Center Tigers

    took them to task in interleague play,

    58-50.

    Pettisville came out on re in the rst

    period, doubling up on the Tigers in an

    18-9 run, but then their offense went

    into hibernation. 16-3 and 17-8 runs by

    the Tigers in the second and third peri-

    ods not only obliterated their decit, but

    threatened a blowout. The Birds were

    able to rally in the fourth, but the clock

    ended all hopes for a comeback.

    Korben Rychener led Pettisville with

    17 points, and Josh Liechty had 10.

    Fayette Tops Edon In Overtime After Sanford's

    Half Court Prayer Is AnsweredEDON: February 10, 2014 Throwaway the won-lost records and admit it...

    The Hangar in Edon is not an easy place

    to get a road win. The Boys in Bomber

    Blue came into their February 10 BBC

    game against Fayette with a 7-9 record

    overall, while Fayette was sporting anoth-

    er ne season at 11-5. All signs pointed

    to a likely Eagles' win, but like I said, The

    Hangar is not a place where visitors have

    an easy go of it. The 36-33 Fayette victory

    was one for the ages.

    The Eagles and Bombers went back

    and forth until a 15-10 third put Fayette

    up by seven going into the fourth. Kaden

    Sapp canned 8 of his team-high 13 points

    to lead an Edon rally in the fourth that

    saw the Bombers pull even at the end of

    regulation. Overtime was on the way.

    In the extra period, both teams' defens-

    es came to the fore, putting the clamps on

    scoring. Finally, the Bombers worked a

    strategy to move the ball around, kill the

    clock, and go for a nal shot. The strat-

    egy worked well, until they moved the ball

    into the right corner where the Fayette

    defense forced a turnover.

    After a timeout and with the potential

    of a second overtime looming large, the

    ball was inbounded from Grant Schaffner

    to Chandler Sanford, a senior with trackand cross country experience dating back

    to his junior high days. Turning around

    and coming back to the other side of the

    court, he was picked up by Edon's Brock

    Thiel who turned Sanford to the sideline.

    With the clock down to two seconds, San-

    ford, who had the pedal to the metal, ranthe tightrope between River Wicker and

    the sideline, ring off a shot as he hit

    midcourt just prior to the buzzer. The ball

    grazed the back of the hoop...everything

    else was all net as the three-point prayer

    was answered. The explosion of the Fay-

    ette faithful was equally mirrored by thestunned silence of Bomber Nation.

    Sanford led all scorers with 15 points

    for Fayette, with Koby Biddix landing 8.Jerad Seiler had 6 points, Tristen Bates,

    Tyler Cox and Skylar Lantz each had 2

    points, and Schaffner nished with a free

    throw.Jacob Brown backed Sapp with 8

    Indians Bounce Elmwood InNon-Conference Action

    By: Mitchell Peebles

    THE VILLAGE REPORTER

    WAUSEON 2/8/14---The Wauseon In-

    dians played host to non-conference foe

    Elmwood. It was the Indians stout defense

    that led the way to an easy victory as theTribe would down the Royals of Elmwood

    by a nal score of 60-28.

    It was a slow rst quarter for both

    squads offenses. The Tribe would start

    off with a three pointer by senior Zac Rob-

    inson early on in the quarter, but would

    be unable to jump out to a big lead in the

    opening quarter, as at the end of the rst

    quarter of action, the scoreboard read 9-5

    in favor of Wauseon.

    Elmwood gained some momentum

    in the early part of the second period,

    even taking a 12-11 lead over the Tribe.

    Wauseon head coach Chad Burt called a

    timeout, and was able to make the prop-

    er adjustments to get his

    team back in to the lead.

    Wauseon junior Noah Cas-

    tle was a vital part of thiscomeback, scoring six of

    the Indians 11 points in

    the second quarter. At half,

    it was the Indians who held

    a 20-15 lead over the visit-

    ing Elmwood Royals.

    The third quarter is

    when all doubt would be

    eliminated from the con-

    test, as the Indians would

    take complete control of the

    contest. The Indian defense

    held Elmwood to only ve

    points in the third quar-

    ter. Meanwhile, ve differ-

    ent players would score

    for Wauseon, putting 20

    points on the board in the

    third quarter alone. In fact,Wauseon scored as many

    points in the third stanza

    as Elmwood had in the rst

    three quarters combined.

    Going in to the fourth and

    nal quarter of action, the Tribe held a 40-

    20 lead.

    Wauseon would not take their foot off

    the gas in the nal quarter of the night,

    scoring 20 more points in the nal quar-

    ter. Kris Boysel scored eight points in thefourth, giving him a total of 14 points in

    the second half alone. Elmwood could do

    nothing to close the gap, and the Tribe

    would go on to win the contest by a nal

    score of 60-28.

    Leading the way for the Indians was

    Boysel with 16, Corry Byers contributed

    11 on the night, Castle and Jacob Newlove

    both scored nine, Zac Robinson put six

    points on the board, Zach Johnson had

    four, Alec Lillich and Carter Bzovi both

    scored two, and Dillon Schantz rounded

    out the scoring with one point.

    Pettisville Blackbirds Claim FirstOutright BBC Title Since 2009

    By: Mitchell Peebles

    THE VILLAGE REPORTER

    PETTISVILLE 2/13/14The Pettis-

    ville Lady Blackbirds capped off their

    2013-2014 regular season campaign in

    style, claiming their rst 20 win season

    in program history, and winning their

    rst outright BBC title since 2009 with a

    38-26 victory over the Stryker Panthers.

    The Blackbirds would quickly take

    control of the contest, as in the rst

    quarter of action, the Pettisville defense

    held Stryker to only two points, while

    scoring 11 points of their own to take

    a nine point lead at the end of the rst

    quarter.

    The Panthers were able to slim the

    Blackbird lead in the second stanza,

    outscoring Pettisville 11-9 to make it a

    seven point game at halftime. The Black-

    birds led 20-13 at the intermission.

    It would be a stalemate in the third

    quarter, with both teams scoring six

    points, making it 26-19 in favor of Pet-

    tisville at the end of three quarter of

    play.

    In the fourth and nal period of ac-

    tion, Pettisville would start to pull away

    from the Panthers. The Blackbirds n-

    ished the contest by outscoring Stryk-

    er 12-7 in the fourth quarter, allowing

    them to grab the 38-26 victory, and

    claim the BBC Girls Basketball cham-

    pionship.

    Lauren Hostetler led the way for the

    Blackbirds with 18 points in the con-

    test. Mikala Avina, Jordyn Pursel, and

    Audra Klopfenstein all contributed six

    to the Pettisville cause, and Dana Fricke

    rounded out the Blackbirds scoring

    with two.

    For the Panthers it was Conner Var-

    ner setting the pace with 11, Christine

    Huston scored seven, Ashley Haines

    had three, and Conner Sullivan and

    Gabrielle Paxton both nished with twopoints.

    Pettisville head coach Jason Waldvo-

    gel said after the contest It was a nice

    win against a quality team that is very

    well coached. I am happy for our se-

    niors to nish their career on their home

    court with a win. Lauren Hostetler was

    great on both ends of the oor tonight.

    Audra Klopfenstein did a great job de-

    fending one of the better players in our

    league. Olivia Wright is another senior

    that works hard in practice and plays a

    big role in helping and supporting her

    teammates.

    Hannah Bleikamp Breaks The 1,000-PointBarrier And The Hilltop Lady Cadets HandThe Antwerp Lady Archers A Lopsided Loss

    By Timothy Kays

    THE VILLAGE REPORTER

    WEST UNITY: February 11, 2014 -The Hilltop Lady Cadets know how tothrow a Senior Night bash. After theirFebruary 11 tilt, the Antwerp Lady Ar-chers can attest to the fact. Emily Arm-bruster led all scorers with 21 points,Hannah Bleikamp broke the 1,000-ca-reer point barrier, and Kayla Settlemire,out injured since the Swanton game,made it onto the hardwood of The Bun-ker one more time as the Lady Cadetsunloaded the frustrations of a three-game losing streak on the Lady Archersby a 66-30 score.

    The road to Senior Night was, at best,rocky. A loss to Swanton after the LadyCadets failed to hold a late lead was fol-lowed by the same thing to BBC rivalPettisville...a loss that cost them a piece

    of the conference title. An obviously de-moralized an banged up Hilltop squadwas then clobbered by Edgerton onFebruary 8, leading to the Senior Nightgame. The focus of the Lady Cadet faith-ful was on Bleikamp, a Sienna Heights-bound senior who came into the contestjust six points shy of 1,000 for her elitecareer. The focus of Bleikamp and herteammates though was decidedly differ-ent...get off the schneid, and get back toplaying winning, Hilltop hoops.

    Both teams came out with tough de-fenses that kept each other off the score-boards in the early going. A full-courtpress by the Lady Cadets was equallyeffective as the 2-1-2 full court zonepress of Antwerp. Eventually though,the team with better ball movement and

    control began to nd chinks in the ar-mor of their opponents, and that teamwas Hilltop. With Antwerp well awareof the potency of Bleikamp, they couldnot afford to double up on her seniorpartner, the equally dangerous EmilyArmbruster. It was Armbrusters paintplowing that gave the Lady Cadets anearly lead that they would never surren-der. On the other end of the oor, theLady Archers were nding senior KaileyCreamers point defense almost omni-present, and fellow senior LeAnn Joosta pain in the paint. Antwerp did not getonto the scoreboard until less than aminute remained in the rst, and theywent into the second trailing 11-4. TheLadies In Red would turn the game intoa blowout in the second.

    Bleikamp had ample opportunities towrap up her 1,000th point earlier in therst period, but instead chose to pass offin favor of sure scoring opportunities...astrategy that proved successful on thescoreboard. As her point total slowlyrose, so did the anxiety of the crowd.When a three attempt from the upperleft side hit the back iron, the collectivegroan from the audience could be felt aseasily as it was heard. The patience ofthe Lady Cadets on the oor was win-ning the game, and as the clock tickeddown toward the three minute mark inthe half, the impatient audience nallygot to see the history made that they ea-gerly anticipated.

    Still playing the tough pressure de-fense, Bleikamp got a hand on the ball

    being dribbled by an Antwerp guard. Al-though more a ball-handling disruptionthan a steal at the beginning, the actioncaused the Lady Archer to lose controlof the ball for a split second...and thatwas all Bleikamp needed. With the LadyArchers already falling back, Bleikampcleared the ball to herself and took offon the right side. With one defender infront of her, two to her right and theall-too-recently pilfered Antwerp guard

    nipping at her heels, Bleikamp cut intothe right side of the lane and let go a

    running jumper from six feet away. Theball went in, and at the 3:06 mark in thesecond quarter...8:17 pm for those whomissed the game, Hannah Bleikamp be-came the third Lady Cadet to break the1,000 career point barrier. The deucefrom the paint was point number 1,001.

    The game was stopped temporarily aspublic address announcer Tom Schaperannounced the event to what had be-come a loud and sustained standingovation. Hannah received the congratu-latory hugs from her teammates, andthen from her parents, Phil and Bob-bie Bleikamp who came onto the oor.Hilltop Head Coach Aaron Schmidt pre-sented Hannah with the game ball, afterwhich many of the hometown faithfulput down the signs of support that they

    were holding up to that point, pulled outcameras, and began snapping photos ofthe historical moment. The Lady Cadetswent on to expand their lead to 21 goinginto the intermission at 38-17.

    Unfortunately for the Lady Archers,the timeout taken to honor HannahBleikamp was just a brief respite. Thesecond half remained to be played, andthe Lady Cadets, still riding the high of ahistory-making moment and a 21-pointlead, were not about to have a replay ofthe Swanton and Pettisville games...uh-uh.

    The hometown girls hit the hard-wood in the second half with the samedirection that they had coming into thegame, and the intensity to back it up.This time around, there would be no laterally. The Lady Cadets went on 17-7 runin the third to open the advantage to31 at 55-24. In the fourth period, therewere only two things remaining to ac-complish. Make sure that there was notgoing to be any late-game suspense...check. The Lady Cadets continued toadd to their lead to ensure that point.

    All that remained was to make surethat Senior Night was truly, SeniorNight. With under four minutes left inthe game, Coach Schmidt took care ofthat detail when he called Settlemire offthe bench to check in. Unable to playbut still able to suit up, the addition ofSettlemire to the lineup allowed her tojoin her fellow seniors Joost, Creamer,Bleikamp and Armbruster on The Bun-ker hardwood one nal time before theirhometown faithful. All ve then checked

    out, bringing an end to their home reg-ular season careers. The lead and thegame well in hand, the Hilltop Lady Ca-det Class of 2014 went out in style witha 36-point win.

    Armbruster nished with 6 boards,4 steals and a game-high 21 points forthe 13-7 / 6-3 Lady Cadets, and Blei-kamp went for 18 points, 5 reboundsand 3 swipes. Cierra Grant knockeddown 9 points, Creamer had 7 points,and Bailey Funkhouser rained down atrey. Joost nished with 2 points, Des-tiny Denton had a deuce and a dozendimes, and Allie Schmitt and KarissaCrisenbery came off the bench to eachadd another 2 points.

    A big-time celebration in small-townAmerica...this Senior Night Bash in The

    Bunker only took a couple of hours tocomplete, but the memories generatedon this night are guaranteed good for alifetime.

    Stryker Lady Panthers' Sticky DefenseShuts Down North Central In BBC Play

    PIONEER: February 10, 2014 The

    Stryker Lady Panthers are renowned for

    a turnover creating defense. Their BBC

    rivals, the North Central Lady Eagles,

    are well aware of the Stryker strategy,

    and during the games of the last cou-

    ple of seasons, they have found ways to

    lessen the blow.

    February 10 was not one of thosegames.

    The Lady Panthers forced 25 turn-

    overs with their pressure defense, con-

    verting them into scoring opportunities

    that saw Stryker run away with a 62-30

    score over North Central.

    The senior core of Stryker did the

    most damage, with Conner Varner, Con-

    nor Sullivan and Christie Huston post-

    ing 25, 15 and 15 points respectively.

    Natasha Pegorch, Ashley Haines and

    Maddie Uribes each had 2 points, and

    Megan Graber landed a free throw.

    Sabrina Pickford put in a team-high

    13 for North Central, with Cady VanDe-

    Voorde adding 6. Hannah Siekemeyer
