Anthony Wayne finishes 4th in 1st team tennis state tournament appearance
WOOSTER, Ohio — With a tight-knit roster built around its coach’s two sons, the Anthony Wayne boys tennis team used a lineup with depth unmatched this spring in Northwest Ohio to put together the best finish in program history. The Generals went the extra mile in showing their solidarity by living up to a preseason pact that ultimately got paid when they reached the Ohio Tennis Coaches Association Division I state team tournament for the first time Saturday at the College of Wooster. “After they qualified for this final four, they all went and buzzed their heads,” coach Jim Sutto said. “They actually said before the season started that they’d do it if they [made it to state]. A couple of them were rolling their eyes, like ‘Why did I agree to this?’ There were a couple who were excited to do it.” Although Anthony Wayne didn’t have any singles players or doubles teams reach the state individual tournament May 23-24 at Wooster, its depth helped it beat St. Francis 3-0 on May 17 to clinch a berth in the state final four.
United Way of Monroe/Lenawee Counties: Health Checks, golf outing keep May busy
This past month has been a busy month for the United Way: three Health Check events and one golf outing! First, the Health Checks … Our volunteer team and interagency partners have helped us to host Health Checks in Adrian, Temperance (Bedford) and Dundee. We had a record 137 attendees in Adrian, 103 in Bedford and nearly 100 in Dundee. We’re a little tired but thrilled at the numbers. Many attendees have come to rely on the $20 blood panel testing as a low-cost alternative for their comprehensive blood work. I, too, try to get my blood work completed at a spring and fall Health Check, respectively. (It beats a $200+ co-pay, even with insurance coverage). Talking to the attendees made me further realize how important affordable health care is to all of us. And a program like Health Check is so needed and necessary.

The NLL foes square off at 5 p.m. on Friday. Perrysburg got a clutch two-out, two-strike single from sophomore Kylynn Thomas that drove in classmate Yesenia You from second base with the go-ahead run in the top of the seventh, then held on to win. Maison Gerrard, the Jackets' fourth-year pitcher, scattered 10 hits to earn the complete-game victory.
