ST. MARYS — Wapakoneta’s Nicole Brown darted all over the floor, looking for a crevice of space to get off yet another 3-point attempt and break two school records she’s been stalking for a few years now.
Everyone in the gym knew another launch from the 5-foot-6 senior was coming and yet St. Marys couldn’t stop her.
Surveying what remained in his office, Wapakoneta High School Principal Aaron Rex prepared for his last day today.
Some of the Wapakoneta items he had collected through his 16 years at the school he planned to leave with others, but some he would take with him when he left.
“Over the years I have accumulated a lot of Redskins stuff,” Rex said.
Jerseys, certain clothing items, a football helmet and a Redskins clay pot made by the art teacher all will find their way to Rex’s home in Archbold.
