FOOTBALL: Tigers trump Commodores

September 24, 2011

PERRY TOWNSHIP — The Waynesfield-Goshen Tigers spoiled the Perry Commodores’ homecoming game with a 20-7 victory Friday night.
It was the third straight win for W-G, which is now 3-2 overall and 2-0 in the Northwest Central Conference.
“The defense really stepped up tonight,” W-G coach Gary Spencer said. “We kept the Commodores to under 100 yards on offense.”
Both teams had trouble with traction thanks to wet conditions on the field. Perry struggled on its option ground attack while W-G struggled to run the ball and had to rely more on its passing game for the win.

VOLLEYBALL: Wapak wins thriller

September 23, 2011

Megan Hayzlett sure picked a good time to have a career night.
The junior middle hitter had her best game as a varsity player to help lead the Wapakoneta Redskins to a 3-2 win over the Defiance Bulldogs in a pivotal Western Buckeye League volleyball match Thursday at Wapakoneta High School.
“I told the girls, that is probably the biggest win in my two years here,” Wapak coach Keith Rambin said. “It was probably our best performance of the year when we needed it most.”
