We were told that the NOL will be charging for all weekday meets this year to prepare fans for having to pay at SBC meets. I understand paying for invites - but I can't remember ever having to pay for attending a dual, tri, or quad meet. Usually just walk right in and go to the area where your child is competing - field, track, pits, etc.
Do any schools also charge for parking? We've heard that some schools charge a parking fee, and then a ticket at the gate. That could rack up costs for a larger family.

Amazing Game! Final score 34 - 32. Norwalk wins without Thomas on the court - but she was the heart of the team, and cheering from a chair they wheeled her out on.
Definitely terrific defense from both sides.

Norwalk has the ability to win. I don't believe it will be easy. But it is very possible.
One off night for Bellevue does not mean it will make it easier for Norwalk. In fact, it might eliminate the chance of them looking past Norwalk - a team, like Ontario, that they have beaten three times. But as I said in an earlier post - this is the tournament - and anything can happen. Ontario made adjustments for the 2nd quarter and got hot shooting, as Bellevue went cold.
The other view is that it proves to Norwalk that this Bellevue team IS beatable. Norwalk just needs to play Norwalk's game.

Congratulations to Kelsey Mitchell - Big 10 Player of the Year. This is her second time winning the award.
Mitchell, who was tabbed as the Big Ten Player of the Year by the conference coaches in 2014-15, helped Ohio State to a share of its 15th Big Ten Championship (first since 2010), leading the Big Ten and ranking fourth in the nation in scoring (23.4 ppg.), while standing second in the conference and fourth nationally with 3.33 three-point field goals per game. A four-time Big Ten Player of the Week with a conference-high five 30-point games this season, Mitchell ranks sixth on the conference’s all-time scoring list with 2,463 points, while placing fourth in Big Ten history with 353 career three-point field goals, 12 shy of the record set by Penn State’s Maggie Lucas from 2010-14.

Both of the games at Willard should be fun to watch. I would expect Bellevue to win their game (though anything can happen in tournaments); and if Norwalk plays Shelby like they've played their last 3 games, it will be a tough. The Lady Truckers seem to be clicking at the right time.

Recent years - not SBC - but in the area, you'd have to add Chance Ehrnsberger to the list as an all-time great thrower. He's competing this year for OSU.
Edison - great long jumper would be Brady Gelvin - also competed at OSU.
Perkins had some amazing girls' throwers for many years.

Living in Wooster, it was always frustrating to hear newscasters or others call it Woooooooster (rhyming with rooster or booster.) The correct pronunciation was the "oo" rhyme with book or look.

We watched from home . . . hubby could hardly stand it. He was so ready for the second half melt-down and was pleased that they pulled it out. That blocked field goal . . . seems to have happened a lot this year for different teams to alter endings.
He got his Christmas present from the Browns a day early, and then I got mine from the Steelers last night. Both games hard to watch at times. So frustrating.

This is a hard one. . . I've spent more time than I'd like to admit trying to figure it out.
The best answer I've come up with is ice-cream bar, and there have been a few others I've thrown out as well. . . please put me out of my misery.

Looking forward to seeing this movie over Christmas break with the family.
Also read that they are to start filming a stand-alone movie - the backstory of Han Solo, due for release in 2018. If done correctly, that could be a fun one!

Bellevue showed up ready to play. Rough game for Norwalk.
Bellevue has something special in the young Santoro - she made plays that were amazing - very talented!
Norwalk looked good in spurts, just couldn't keep it together and free throws are killing them. They need to get more girls stepping up to score, they did not shoot well in the fourth quarter. Turnovers/Fouls on which Bellevue capitalized.
Bellevue played a good team game - 3 girls in double digits.

Congratulations to Norwalk for beating Ashland 58 - 32 last night. The win puts them at 5-0 for the season.
Jiselle Thomas was recognized at the game for not only breaking the girls' record, but for also breaking the boys' scoring record and becoming the all-time leading scorer at NHS. The Reflector recognized her today for becoming the city's all-time leading scorer after her 26 points vs Ashland moved her ahead of St. Paul's all-time leading scorer.
Norwalk is utilizing many players during the games - and it is fun to watch them play. All of the girls look so improved in the transition game - looking & expecting things.
Norwalk plays Mansfield Sr at Shelby on Saturday in the OCC/NOL challenge.

My father took a course taught by Coach Hayes at OSU in the early 60's. Dad always said that Coach Hayes was a teacher first, then a coach - both on the field and off. His players respected him and everyone understood that his course was not a fluff class. You were there to learn and you were going to work.
Years later, no matter what class dad was teaching, or what sport he was coaching, dad always remembered that course and made the effort to apply what he learned from Coach Hayes.

Congrats to Norwalk winning both games this weekend in Clyde. They beat the tournament hosts Friday night in a close game, 68-65; and then blew out Fostoria Saturday night, 64 - 34.
Jiselle Thomas broke the school scoring record Saturday night with her first 2 points. She went on to score 30 in the game. She has the rest of the season to pad the record.
Should be a fun season for Trucker fans!

What a game! The #2 team vs. the #3 team didn't disappoint in drama. Though they did contribute to my "football induced Tourettes!"
If Barrett is smart, he'll stay next year to work - no way he goes high in the draft. Just isn't consistent.

How did Norwalk do last season? Norwalk lost a must-win against Bellevue to lose out on part of the NOL title. They return all of their starters and main players from last year - seniors: DI commit Jiselle Thomas & Adrianna Rodriguez; juniors: Kaelyn Harkness (who missed part of last season with a knee injury), Jasmine & Jada Thomas, Lauryn Maloney, Bethany Cring, Leah Malson; and sophomore Marly Geretz. Add seniors Mya Ray (coming off a great tennis season), Caila Case, and Eboni Barbee. If they can come together and play as a team, I look for them to do well. As with any team, they don't do well when one person tries to do everything. Last season, their best games were the games when the underclassmen stepped up. Hopefully another year and work off-season together has increased their confidence. They begin tonight in Clyde.

It's been at noon last few years I don't understand either. It's a prime time style of game. A 12:00 start in the VAST majority of the games. Part of the tradition of the rivalry. Not ABC, one of the few battles they have lost concerning start times. Both OSU and U of M have vociferously fought for the 12:00 start. And for it to be that EVERY year. Delany: No night Ohio State-Michigan games in the future Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany met with a group of reports in Ann Arbor – and quelled any thoughts of a possible OSU-UM night game. by Luke Zimmermann@lukezim Aug 9, 2013, 7:05pm EDT Outside of noon games, it seems the slight deviation to 1 p.m. is the only other possible time on the table of late. Though 2006's "Game of the Century" was played at 3:30, that might have to be as late as we expect these things to ever go given the time of year The Game's played. The Big Ten's commissioner Jim Delany spoke to the media in Ann Arbor Friday and had more on the subject: "I don't expect that game to be in prime[time]. No one has ever asked for it, and television networks know we wouldn't move it without the consent of the schools -- and I don't think they're open to it." Dave Brandon's been the most outspoken critic of hosting that game at night (amongst other UM games), and while Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer would probably love to do it in primetime, Gene Smith's played ball with Brandon and mostly agreed to a similar sentiment as his Michigan counterpart. Delany had more on the subject: "We're just looking to kind of get into an environment to where we have some access to some quality games in the month of November," [Delany said]. "Each case is unique. Each game is unique. It's the toughest weather month, in this part of the country the weather shifts in the second or third week of October."

Norwalk may be down a point guard to start the season. Word from the kids is that he is having surgery on his arm this week - due to the football injury.

Good to see Armstrong return to the stadium. Scary moment for both teams. Great game! Burrows looked good at the end.
