Lots of no-nos

Wowser!
Hard to believe some of the performances I’ve seen in baseball, softball and track already this spring,
Borrowing the title from one of my favorite movies some of the performances have been good, bad and downright ugly,
Let’s go around the horn…

NO-NO-NO: Lakota’s Amanda Capehart fired a perfect game in a 12-0 six inning softball win over Old Fort Wednesday. She struck out 9 of the 18 batters she faced.
-- Carey’s Scott Harrold fired a no-hitter and struck out 10 in a five inning no-hitter against Riverdale. The Falcons were also no-hit by three different Liberty-Benton pitchers in a 24-0 loss to the Eagles earlier this week.
-- Woodmore’s Sam Michaelis also fired a no-hitter Tuesday in a 2-0 softball win over my alma mater Fostoria St. Wendelin.

GAME OF THE DAY: Elmwood’s girls softball team comes to town today to take on Findlay High School at Diamond Field or whatever the Trojans are calling the field these days. I wish Findlay would pick up a few more games like this against some other local teams in a few other sports. Should be an interesting match up.

FAST STARTS: Tuesday was the first day area track teams competed and there were a few impressive opening day performances.
Columbus Grove’s Cory Meuleman, the defending Division III state champ, won the discus in a quad Tuesday with a toss of 158-2 and teammate Heath Nickles captured the pole vault with a jump of 15-4...both of those marks would earn the Bulldog duo a spot on the state awards stand in a a couple of months.
-- Liberty-Benton’s boys and girls track teams appeared loaded in easily winning a quad involving Van Buren, Mohawk and Carey.
-- Arcadia’s was second in a quintangular at Lakota, Leipsic’s girls were a close third behind Columbus Grove and Cory-Rawson in the CG quad and Arlington’s girls won a triangular with Ada and Indian Lake. Should be an interesting battle for second place in the BVC girls meet this year.
