'We belong': Wooster beats St. Ignatius for second straight Div. I district title
CLEVELAND — Wooster baseball is here to stay. It didn’t matter the Generals were playing a school with more than twice their male enrollment.

It didn’t matter starting pitcher Kyle Oswald exited the game in the second inning with an injury.

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.
