2024 high school football: Preseason All-Blade player of the year watch list
As the 2024 high school football season gets set to kick off next Friday, The Blade is taking a look into the crystal ball to speculate on which area players have the best chance to be honored as the 30th All-Blade player of the year come late November. The first player honored as Blade player of the year back in 1995 was Eddie Ziemke of St. John’s Jesuit, one of three Titans players to receive that recognition alongside Cheatham Norrils in 2010 and Dallas Gant in 2017. Perrysburg has had the most Blade POY honorees with four — Gus Dimmerling (2014), Chaz Westfall (2015), Cade Zimmerly (2020), and Connor Walendzak (2022). Central Catholic and Whitmer each match St. John’s with three apiece.

Dialed-up velocity helps Anthony Wayne pitcher Graf become Ohio State recruit
When Anthony Wayne pitcher Owen Graf got an offer from Ohio State, he was so excited that he lost his appetite for a few days. He has worked tirelessly to increase his velocity on the mound to where it is currently, maxing out at 94 miles per hour. He did everything he could during the summer season to get noticed by the Buckeyes. He had battled back from a seemingly cursed injury streak early in his Anthony Wayne career. It all paid off with an offer from his dream school. Graf took a bit of time to consider the offer, but it was too good to pass up, and he recently announced his commitment to Ohio State.
Summer campers get Olympic experience complete with medals, ceremonies
Communities around the world tuned in to see the spectacle of the Paris Olympics this summer, and Children’s Discovery Centers used the international hubbub to keep kids across northwest Ohio engaged. “We had an opening ceremony at the beginning of our summer camp experience, and we're closing out our summer camp experience after 12 weeks with a closing ceremony,” said Tamara Glassbender, the summer camp coordinator for the Children’s Discovery Centers. The five separate locations for the centers formed different “countries” and competed in field day activities at Side Cut Metropark in Maumee on Thursday. First, second, and third-place medals in the classic gold, silver, and bronze were presented to the kids for kindness and helpfulness. Sportsmanship and exposure to other cultures were the main focuses for Laura Burrell, the co-director of the Talmadge center location.

Friday Night Futbol: High school soccer teams embrace spotlight of opening games
High school soccer takes center stage under the Friday night lights this week as teams across northwest Ohio get an early opportunity to highlight the sport, its coaches, and its players. Dozens of area boys and girls soccer teams will participate in the “Friday Night Futbol” event. “Anytime our sport is in the limelight, it's a positive for us all,” Findlay girls coach Mike Aubry said. “I know that our players are really excited about the opportunity to play under the lights and get their season kicked off. Futbol Friday gives us such great publicity around the area.” In 2015, the Ohio High School Athletic Association started the statewide initiative where soccer games take place the Friday before the high school football season kicks off. The OHSAA permits the soccer games to be played one day earlier than the traditional Saturday start of the soccer season.
