WHEELERSBURG — You can almost hear the late, great Olivia Newton John singing, “Let’s get physical.” Wheelersburg Pirates head coach Rob Woodward has been watching film of this week’s opponent and the one facet keeps rising to the top. “I haven’t seen every game they’ve played, but in the ones that I have been able to watch they are definitely more physical than their opponent,” said Woodward. “That’s allowed them to be at the 12-0 record that they are.” Wheelersburg and the

FLATWOODS — At the beginning of the season, coach T.J. Maynard and the Russell Red Devils had made it a goal to win the district, win the region and then get to Kroger Field. Well, they got their district title and now they're 48 minutes from accomplishing their second goal. The Red Devils will be looking to check off another box on Friday night when they square off against the Lloyd Memorial Juggernauts in the Kentucky Class 3A regional championship game at Juggernaut Stadiu

By TIM STRIED Director of Media Relations COLUMBUS – The Ohio High School Athletic Association has announced the bracket pairings for next week’s football state semifinals. The geography of the schools involved in each region is the primary factor in determining how the regional champions will be paired in the state semifinals.   A team’s regional seed, state rank and won-lost record do not factor into the state semifinal bracket pairings.   The state championship games will

You can’t spell claustrophobia without UCLA. For most of Saturday’s game, the Buckeyes defense kept the Bruins offense crammed into small spaces, allowing only two first downs in the first half and a paltry 65 total yards until late in the third quarter. Ohio State scored the first 34 points enroute to a 48-10 pasting, securing their #1 ranking with two regular season games remaining. Jeremiah Smith played only three possessions but made one of his signature one-handed grabs

WILLOW WOOD — Free education, yes. Free pass to a starting position, no. Symmes Valley Lady Vikings’ power-hitting junior first baseman Marley Ferguson has a guarantee about payment on her college education, but she knows there is no guarantee she will be handed a starting position on the Valparaiso Beacons softball team after making a verbal commitment. “I’m just going to have to put a lot of work into my spot. Yes, they like me and want me to come there, but they also have

FLATWOODS  — A lights out defense and some opportunistic plays from the Russell offense proved to be enough to help the Red Devils take down the Bourbon County Colonels 14-7 in a defensive slugfest on Friday night in the Kentucky Class AAA playoffs. Russell now advances to the regional championship game, where they will travel to Erlanger to face the Lloyd Memorial Juggernauts next Friday. The two teams met in the playoffs last season with the Red Devils rallying back in the

JEROMESVILLE — So, it’s going to be that kind of a night. The Symmes Valley Vikings took the opening kickoff and move to the Hillsdale 41 in 6 plays only to throw an incomplete pass on fourth down. On the Falcons’ first play, Owen Sloan broke free up the middle and ran 59 yards for a touchdown and a 7-0 lead. And so it went for the Vikings who lost 48-7 to the top-seeded Falcons in the Region 27 Division 7 semifinals on Friday. “They’re a very good team top to bottom for sure

WHEELERSBURG - Different year.  Different round.  Different players.  Different venue.  But, still same result - now four football postseasons running. That's because, for the fourth consecutive state playoffs, the Wheelersburg Pirates put an end to the Barnesville Shamrocks' season - and this time they had the opportunity to put Barnesville to bed in the Pirates' seniors home finale.  With Wheelersburg scoring 36 of the final 42 points over the game's final 32 minutes and 16

WILLOW WOOD — Softball is a game. But for Brenna Tibbs, it’s also going to be a job. The Symmes Valley Lady Vikings senior left-handed pitcher signed a letter-of-intent on Wednesday to play for the Ohio University Bobcats. “They just told me my only job is to pitch so, I’ll have to get that done,” said Tibbs with a laugh. “Some days you have an off day and they totally understand that, but that’s my one job and I’m expected to perform that way.” Tibbs described herself as a p

WILLOW WOOD — For coach Ben Ferguson and the Symmes Valley Vikings, they'll be sailing into uncharted waters. The Vikings will be playing the role of a heavy underdog on Friday night when they travel north to face the defending state-runner up Hillsdale Falcons in the Division 7 regional semifinals at Hillsdale Falcon Community Stadium. For the Falcons, they were a preseason favorite to return to the state championship with a possible rematch against Marion Local. But standin

WHEELERSBURG — As New York Yankee legend Yogi Berra once said, "It's deja-vu all over again." For the fourth-straight postseason, the Wheelersburg Pirates and the Barnesville Shamrocks will lock horns with a chance to advance in tournament play on Friday night at Ed Miller Stadium. Overall, this will be the fifth meeting between two programs rich in football tradition. The first ever meeting took place in 1992 with the Shamrocks winning 10-7 in an overtime thriller in the sno
