Voigt, Thiel at the forefront of historic success for Bryan athletics
BRYAN — Bryan High School has enjoyed a historic amount of success the past four years in softball, girls basketball, and girls soccer. For all of the conference, district, and regional trophies the Golden Bears have brought back to the northwest corner of Ohio, Ella Voigt and Kailee Thiel have been right there for every moment. The senior three-sport standouts have had a historic high school career at Bryan that includes 10 Northwest Ohio Athletic League championships, five OHSAA district titles, and several of the best tournament runs in school history. The duo’s skillset, dedication, and leadership have stood out in setting a sky-high standard for the Golden Bears. “I think it’s huge because if you look at it, it’s not just one or two seasons that they’ve had success with. You’re talking three, four years with that to where they have raised the bar with Bryan athletics,” Bryan athletic director Nathan Keel said. “They’re the first people in the weight room, they’re the last ones to leave. They’re in there in the morning, they’re in there in the evening, in the summer.
Bryan blanks Maumee to advance to first Division II regional softball final
SHELBY, Ohio — A big hit in the first at-bat, along with remarkable defense and stellar pitching, helped Bryan’s softball team achieve its furthest advancement in the OHSAA tournament. Freshman Amiyah Langham drilled a home run on a full count to start the game, while sophomore Thea Staten fired a two-hit shutout with the help of errorless defense behind her, as Bryan blanked Maumee 5-0 in a Division II regional semifinal on Wednesday at Shelby High School. After falling in the regional semifinals the past two seasons, the Golden Bears (20-5) broke through to make their first regional final in program history. “Super excited for our girls. We’ve been here three times, so it’s nice to be able to break that barrier and make it to the next level,” Bryan coach Samantha Molina said. “These girls are so deserving, that senior class has been excellent in so many different things, so awesome to see them get to the next level.”
