2024 high school football: 4 Toledo-area sleeper teams to watch
Sometimes, a true sleeper team just comes out of nowhere to surprise everyone. A middle-of-the-road team from a year ago, perhaps benefitting from a weak strength of schedule or the return of some standout players, can just go on a run and turn some heads in a quest for a league title or a quality playoff berth. Where will that team come from this year? What will be the 4-6, 5-5, or 6-4 team from a year ago that will make its mark known in northwest Ohio high school football circles? Here’s a look at four candidates — three of which are playing for the same league title in a race where plenty of talent from a year ago is coming back.

Dreams come true in Wood County Fair ring for those with developmental disabilities
BOWLING GREEN — Rabbit, sheep, or goat? That was Sammy Sisco’s dilemma as she entered the practice area of the 2024 Ring of Dreams at the Wood County fairgrounds on West Poe Road. This was the first time she would show an animal, and the 18-year-old who has Down syndrome selected the goat. The sheep was too loud and the rabbit needed a lot of hands-on work, said mom Emily Sisco of Bowling Green. The Ring of Dreams is an opportunity for individuals with developmental disabilities to show an animal at the Wood County Fair. Last Tuesday was a practice run for the 53 participants and 45 mentors. The main show is set for 5:30 p.m. Aug. 1 in the Pratt Pavilion.
