Anthony Wayne softball pulls away from Perrysburg to claim NLL Buckeye Division title
The floodgates opened for Anthony Wayne’s softball team in the top of the seventh inning, and the Generals reeled in a league title as a result. Anthony Wayne erupted for 10 runs in the final frame to turn a back-and-forth state-ranked showdown with Perrysburg into a convincing 15-5 victory in a Northern Lakes League contest on Wednesday at Perrysburg High School. With the victory, the Generals clinched the outright NLL Buckeye Division championship with two league games remaining. “To be able to come back from being behind and put up 10 on the eighth-ranked team in the state, that’s a statement coming back and putting that kind of offense on,” Anthony Wayne coach Ron Myers said. “Earlier in the day, we probably played some of the worst defense that we have all season. The players really came back though in that seventh inning and just were going after things at that point in time.”

Perrysburg students win national orchestra competition
Perrysburg High School senior Raquel Burden, as a student of the violin for eight years and the school orchestra’s concertmaster, is an old pro at performing. However, competitions are a different story. “We have performed at many conventions,” Burden said. “We played at the Midwest Clinic, and we have done many state orchestra events, but in the past four years we have never done a competition.” There has to be a first time; Burden’s was at the recent American String Teacher Association’s National Orchestra Festival.
Key End-of-Year Dates and Activities for Pettisville Schools: Chromebook Returns, Sports Events, and More
As May progresses, it is important for students, staff, and parents to remember several key dates and requirements. This year, students from kindergarten to 11th grade must return their Chromebooks and chargers by May 22nd. Kindergarten to 4th-grade students already have their chargers at school, while 5th to 11th graders should bring theirs starting next week. This helps prevent loss and damage over the summer.
High school notebook: McCoy takes Maumee Valley post
Former Northview and Bowling Green State University basketball player Niki McCoy has been hired as the next girls basketball coach at Maumee Valley Country Day School. McCoy's first task is to restore the Hawks' varsity program which, along with fellow Toledo Area Athletic Conference member Emmanuel Christian, was unable to field a varsity squad for the 2023-24 season. “I am excited for the opportunity to build a program that prioritizes player mental health, and a winning mindset while setting and holding high expectations,” McCoy said in a media announcement released by the school. “I believe Maumee Valley is a perfect place to set a standard of success at the very beginning of this rebuilding process, both on and off the court.” While playing for Ohio hall-of-fame coach Jerry Sigler at Northview, McCoy helped the Wildcats reach back-to-back Division I state semifinal appearances in 2004 and 2005. She moved on to play in the Mid-American Conference at Akron University for two seasons before transferring to BGSU to finish her career.
Ottawa Hills drops, Perrysburg advances in Ohio high school rankings
U.S. News and World Report has released its rankings of public high schools and in the state rankings, Ottawa Hills is ranked 22nd, a drop from 10th in 2023, while Perrysburg, on the other hand, rose to 26th from its 51st spot last year. Ottawa Hills Superintendent Adam Fineske said the data used in the rankings is two years old. “The data is based on Ohio School Report Card test scores from two years ago,” Mr. Fineske said. “That was from the 2021-2022 school year. It was a year after COVID, and every school took a hit. We were No. 1 in 2020, but that data was from 2018.” Mr. Fineske said the district saw test scores for 2021-22 and made significant changes immediately. The district saw that math scores had dropped.
