Davison Named 2nd Team L.E.L. as Freshman
A lot was asked of B.H.S. freshman (now sophomore) standout Emma Davison this season, and she DELIVERED for Coach Browning and the Lady Bearcats! Emma stepped into the huge responsibility of leadership for the team from her catcher position where she made plenty of timely throws and was extremely reliable behind the plate. She was also second on the team with a BA of .400. Add her 3.5 G.P.A. to that, and you have a great example of a student-athlete. Davison receiving second team All-Lake Erie League honors as a freshman will certainly put the Lady Bearcats in position to challenge for the league and BEYOND in 2025. #riseofthebearcats (Picture Credit to Matt Allen)

You can still get popcorn, hot dogs and ice-cold beer. But now you might also be able to order vegan dishes, boozy ice cream, globally inspired fare and unexpected twists on regional cuisine. Here are some of the most unexpected and extreme foods at ballparks throughout the Midwest.
