Hood Powers Black Over Gold In All-Star Football Game
BY ANDREW ROWERMIRROR SPORTSFormer Whitmer run-
ning back Edwin “Petey”Hood showed why he was a
Division I college signee lastFriday as he led the Black
squad to a 21-7 victory overthe Gold squad in the 14th
Annual Regional All-StarFootball Game.Despite a steady rain
that contributed to no fewerthan a dozen fumbles on the
night, the future BowlingGreen State University
Falcon racked up 97 yardson 12 carries and scored a
pair of touchdowns in hislast high school game.The 5-foot-11-inch 190-
pounder made – hands-down – the biggest differ-
ence in the game.After a 20-minute delaydue to lightning, which also
caused a malfunction in thePerrysburg scoreboard and
forced both the time andscore to be kept by the refer-
ees, the game got off to aslow start as the first quarter
was ruled by fumbles.The Black squad’s open-ing possession ended when
Southview’s Kelley Rowewas intercepted by Holgate’s
Ryan Fruth.The Black defense
responded by forcing athree-and-out punt with a
sack by Southview line-backer Bubba Valdez,
Woodmore defensive endChris Stone and Springfield
tackle Nick Johnson.The two teams did notfare any better in their sec-
ond possessions as the Blacksquad fumbled the snap on
three straight occasions andGold quarterback Danny
Baker was again sacked –
this time by Evergreendefensive end Brent Simon
and Anthony Wayne line-man Jordan Pingle.While the quarter
ended on another Blackfumble, Hood and Rowe
orchestrated a 57-yard drivethat ended in the first score
of the contest.Rowe rushed for 16 ofthose yards, while Hood ate
up 34 more – and the touch-down – on five carries.
Ayersville’s Sergio
Manriquez added the extrapoint and the Black squad
jumped out to a 7-0 lead.With just under 4:00
left in the half, Gold threat-ened with a 56-yard bomb
from Baker to Maumee wide
receiver Steve Sellers and anensuing interference call that
put the team on the Black15-yard line.Amazingly though,
Springfield linebackerTaylor Taube came up with a
circus interception on thegoal line, allowing his team
to take to the locker roomwith the shutout intact.Much like the first
quarter, the third proved tobe a defensive battle as Baker
was sacked another twotimes – by Pingle, Patrick
Henry tackle Tyler Hammand Whitmer linebacker
Greg Schermbeck.Like the first though,the third quarter ended with
the Black squad threatening.
After just a trio of runsby Hood and a pair of
Dimetrius Jones (Ayersville)completions to Anthony
Wayne wide receiverBrandon Cramer and
Central Catholic’s DustinDauer, the team entered the
fourth on Gold’s 10-yardline.
Four plays later, Jonesscored on a quarterback
sneak and Manriquez’spoint-after pushed the score
to 14-0 in Black’s favor.The team then lookedto be putting the game away
when Edgerton quarterbackAndrew Stotz was intercept-
ed by Evergreen free safetyKyle Keeler, but Gold
responded with a sack by
Rossford’s Josh Heidebrink,Perrysburg defensive end
Chris Roster and Edgertontackle Derek Zimmer, forc-
ing a Black punt.Riding this newfoundmomentum, Baker connect-
ed with Woodward’s SteveColeman for 35 yards and
Sellers for another 32 beforehooking up with Toledo
Christian split end SteveWhitlow for a 40-yard
touchdown strike. AsRossford’s Eric Soltis added
the extra point to cut theBlack lead down to just
seven points, the complexityof the game immediately
changed.Undaunted though,
Rowe handled the ensuing
on-side kick and, three playslater, Hood exploded for a
40-yard touchdown scamper– his second of the night.
Manriquez added the extrapoint to give his team a bit
of breathing room.With just 2:17 remain-ing in the game, the Gold
squad had little hope ofmaking up the difference.
After completing passesto Woodward’s Khalfani
Rice and Woodward’s SteveColeman, Baker suffered his
fifth sack of the game asWoodmore defensive end
Chris Stone put an exclama-tion point on the tremen-
dous defensive performanceby the Black team.Hood joined Gold
squad member and Libbeydefensive tackle Josh
Valentine as being voted co-Most Valuable Players.
Valentine recorded six tack-les on the night.Other standout con-
tributors for the Black teamincluded Cramer (60 yards
on four receptions), St.Francis running back Ryan
Kersey (27 yards on five car-ries), Simon (two sacks),
Stone (five tackles and asack), Pingle (four tackles
and two sacks) and Taube(four tackles and an inter-
ception).In addition to
Valentine, the Gold squadsaw outstanding perform-
ances from Sellers (99 yardson six receptions), Whitlow
(57 yards and a touchdownon two receptions), St.
John’s defensive end AustinMayberry (seven tackles),
Woodward linebacker
Nicholas Stamper (six tack-les) and Roster (four tackles
and a sack).

Prudence Lamb Celebrates Her Centennial BirthdayBY LAUREN C. OSTBERG
MIRROR REPORTER
After 100 years, Maumeematriarch Prudence Lambstill knows how to have agood time.
“We threw quite a party,didn’t we?” she laughed,commenting on the surprisebirthday festivities arrangedby her daughter, PriscillaSchwier.
There were numerousguests, as Mrs. Lamb’s ebul-lience and activism led herto encounter and befriendmany people. More than 100attended the party, but sheassumes that “a lot of peoplegot missed.”
Many guests, such asMaumee Valley HistoricalSociety member MartyWendler, lauded Mrs. Lamb
for her commitment to localhistorical projects.
“She’s so energetic, deter-mined and dedicated to hercauses,” Wendler said, not-ing that Mrs. Lamb was “thedriving force” behind theestablishment and preserva-tion of the Wolcott HouseMuseum.
The Wolcott Houseproved to be a focal point ofMrs. Lamb’s numerousinterests, including history,antique collection, garden-ing and the activities of St.Paul’s Episcopal Church.
Rita Hull, the lastdescendant of Judge JamesWolcott who actually livedin the existing WolcottHouse, left the house as agift to St. Paul’s in the hopethat the church would makeit a museum. Unfortunately,the project came with a$60,000 price tag, which thechurch simply could notafford.
Mrs. Lamb, then in hermid-60s, rallied both theMaumee and the NorthwestOhio Historical Societiesbehind the cause. She alsoled an army of volunteerswho held fund-raisers andvolunteered labor, eventual-ly reducing the cost of theWolcott House restorationto $15,000.
She also rummagedabout the East Coast, uncov-ering the history of theWolcott House and itsinhabitants. No doubt, herpost-secondary education atSmith College inMassachusetts helped famil-iarize her with both histori-cal research methods and theNew England area.
Mrs. Lamb continued tobe involved in the WolcottHouse, filling the Gilbert
Flanagan Farmhouse at thecomplex with periodantiques and researching theappropriate furnishings, col-ors, déécor and tools for the19th-century home.
She has also served theMaumee Valley HistoricalSociety as president, vicepresident and secretary overa span of about 40 years, andfounded and held every
office in the Wolcott HouseGuild. Currently, she is atrustee emerita on the his-torical society’s board.
Mrs. Lamb also has beeninvolved in the MaumeeGarden Club for more than45 years.
“One of her dreams wasto have a period garden,”Wendler explained, and thePrudence Lamb Historic
Garden, a 90th birthdaypresent, fulfilled that dream.The garden, located betweenthe Talking Turtle Shop andthe Wolcott House, is filledwith flowers that would havegrown in the area during the1840s.
“There’s a lot of thoughtpoured into that garden,”said Chuck Jacobs, former
BY LAUREN C. OSTBERGMIRROR REPORTER
Members of theMaumee community are atno loss for words when itcomes to describing PrudenceLamb, who recently celebrat-ed her 100th birthday.
“A lot of superlativescome to mind,” said ChuckJacobs, former curator/execu-tive director of the WolcottHouse Museum.“Extraordinary, for starters,but I’m sure everyone else hasalready told you that.”
A lifetime of accom-plishments and character gavefriends, family and colleaguesplenty of material to workwith.
“She’s really been aprominent figure in theMaumee community forquite some time, has beengenerous throughout thecommunity and a benefac-tress to many, including theWolcott House, the historicalsociety and area gardenclubs,” Maumee Mayor TimWagener said.
Perhaps her greatestaccomplishment was therestoration and developmentof the Wolcott House. It wasMrs. Lamb’s dedication and
relentless energy that helpedpreserve this piece of localhistory.
“She’s been such aninspiration to people in termsof her knowledge of historyand convincing people to vol-unteer or become members,”Jack Hiles, a longtimeHistorical Society memberand business consultant forthe Wolcott House Complex.
“Certainly Mrs. Lambhas a lot of brains and resolvein her personality; that driveand energy defines her,”Jacobs said.
Her daughter, PriscillaSchwier, agreed.
“When she focuses inon something, she’s very stub-born about it; she makes sureit’s successful,” Schwier said.
Mrs. Lamb has dedicat-ed her energy, full force, tohistorical, environmental andhumanitarian causes.
“She’s very quiet aboutit, though,” Schwier said.“She’s kind of a spark plug.She’s this tiny woman – lessthan five feet tall – and youdon’t realize the tremendousamount of energy and powershe’s exerting.”
The “quietness” of Mrs.Lamb’s drive may be theproduct of humility. She
seems to expect her toweringcontributions to remainunnoticed. When comment-ing on her 100th birthdayparty, Mrs. Lamb said, “Iappreciate it all, and I’m notsure I deserved it.”
She seemed surprised tobe honored with the MaumeeRiver Award at the 2002Hometown Heroes banquet,despite her work in the com-munity.
Some of Mrs. Lamb’scontributions are containedin the little things, in herattention to detail in decorat-ing the Flanagan Farmhouse,in her social interactions andin her dedication.
Jacobs recalls her com-mitment to the historical gar-den named in her honor atthe Wolcott House.
“In the dead heat ofsummer – the thermometerwas pushing 100 – and Mrs.Lamb was out there weedingthe garden,” he said. “I could-n’t believe that she’d be outthere in that weather.
“Sometimes I find ithard to keep up.”
Mrs. Lamb carried thesame energy and commit-ment into her personal andsocial life.

Hood Powers Black Over Gold In All-Star Football Game
BY ANDREW ROWERMIRROR SPORTSFormer Whitmer run-
ning back Edwin “Petey”Hood showed why he was a
Division I college signee lastFriday as he led the Black
squad to a 21-7 victory overthe Gold squad in the 14th
Annual Regional All-StarFootball Game.Despite a steady rain
that contributed to no fewerthan a dozen fumbles on the
night, the future BowlingGreen State University
Falcon racked up 97 yardson 12 carries and scored a
pair of touchdowns in hislast high school game.The 5-foot-11-inch 190-
pounder made – hands-down – the biggest differ-
ence in the game.After a 20-minute delaydue to lightning, which also
caused a malfunction in thePerrysburg scoreboard and
forced both the time andscore to be kept by the refer-
ees, the game got off to aslow start as the first quarter
was ruled by fumbles.The Black squad’s open-ing possession ended when
Southview’s Kelley Rowewas intercepted by Holgate’s
Ryan Fruth.The Black defense
responded by forcing athree-and-out punt with a
sack by Southview line-backer Bubba Valdez,
Woodmore defensive endChris Stone and Springfield
tackle Nick Johnson.The two teams did notfare any better in their sec-
ond possessions as the Blacksquad fumbled the snap on
three straight occasions andGold quarterback Danny
Baker was again sacked –
this time by Evergreendefensive end Brent Simon
and Anthony Wayne line-man Jordan Pingle.While the quarter
ended on another Blackfumble, Hood and Rowe
orchestrated a 57-yard drivethat ended in the first score
of the contest.Rowe rushed for 16 ofthose yards, while Hood ate
up 34 more – and the touch-down – on five carries.
Ayersville’s Sergio
Manriquez added the extrapoint and the Black squad
jumped out to a 7-0 lead.With just under 4:00
left in the half, Gold threat-ened with a 56-yard bomb
from Baker to Maumee wide
receiver Steve Sellers and anensuing interference call that
put the team on the Black15-yard line.Amazingly though,
Springfield linebackerTaylor Taube came up with a
circus interception on thegoal line, allowing his team
to take to the locker roomwith the shutout intact.Much like the first
quarter, the third proved tobe a defensive battle as Baker
was sacked another twotimes – by Pingle, Patrick
Henry tackle Tyler Hammand Whitmer linebacker
Greg Schermbeck.Like the first though,the third quarter ended with
the Black squad threatening.
After just a trio of runsby Hood and a pair of
Dimetrius Jones (Ayersville)completions to Anthony
Wayne wide receiverBrandon Cramer and
Central Catholic’s DustinDauer, the team entered the
fourth on Gold’s 10-yardline.
Four plays later, Jonesscored on a quarterback
sneak and Manriquez’spoint-after pushed the score
to 14-0 in Black’s favor.The team then lookedto be putting the game away
when Edgerton quarterbackAndrew Stotz was intercept-
ed by Evergreen free safetyKyle Keeler, but Gold
responded with a sack by
Rossford’s Josh Heidebrink,Perrysburg defensive end
Chris Roster and Edgertontackle Derek Zimmer, forc-
ing a Black punt.Riding this newfoundmomentum, Baker connect-
ed with Woodward’s SteveColeman for 35 yards and
Sellers for another 32 beforehooking up with Toledo
Christian split end SteveWhitlow for a 40-yard
touchdown strike. AsRossford’s Eric Soltis added
the extra point to cut theBlack lead down to just
seven points, the complexityof the game immediately
changed.Undaunted though,
Rowe handled the ensuing
on-side kick and, three playslater, Hood exploded for a
40-yard touchdown scamper– his second of the night.
Manriquez added the extrapoint to give his team a bit
of breathing room.With just 2:17 remain-ing in the game, the Gold
squad had little hope ofmaking up the difference.
After completing passesto Woodward’s Khalfani
Rice and Woodward’s SteveColeman, Baker suffered his
fifth sack of the game asWoodmore defensive end
Chris Stone put an exclama-tion point on the tremen-
dous defensive performanceby the Black team.Hood joined Gold
squad member and Libbeydefensive tackle Josh
Valentine as being voted co-Most Valuable Players.
Valentine recorded six tack-les on the night.Other standout con-
tributors for the Black teamincluded Cramer (60 yards
on four receptions), St.Francis running back Ryan
Kersey (27 yards on five car-ries), Simon (two sacks),
Stone (five tackles and asack), Pingle (four tackles
and two sacks) and Taube(four tackles and an inter-
ception).In addition to
Valentine, the Gold squadsaw outstanding perform-
ances from Sellers (99 yardson six receptions), Whitlow
(57 yards and a touchdownon two receptions), St.
John’s defensive end AustinMayberry (seven tackles),
Woodward linebacker
Nicholas Stamper (six tack-les) and Roster (four tackles
and a sack).

Prudence Lamb Celebrates Her Centennial BirthdayBY LAUREN C. OSTBERG
MIRROR REPORTER
After 100 years, Maumeematriarch Prudence Lambstill knows how to have agood time.
“We threw quite a party,didn’t we?” she laughed,commenting on the surprisebirthday festivities arrangedby her daughter, PriscillaSchwier.
There were numerousguests, as Mrs. Lamb’s ebul-lience and activism led herto encounter and befriendmany people. More than 100attended the party, but sheassumes that “a lot of peoplegot missed.”
Many guests, such asMaumee Valley HistoricalSociety member MartyWendler, lauded Mrs. Lamb
for her commitment to localhistorical projects.
“She’s so energetic, deter-mined and dedicated to hercauses,” Wendler said, not-ing that Mrs. Lamb was “thedriving force” behind theestablishment and preserva-tion of the Wolcott HouseMuseum.
The Wolcott Houseproved to be a focal point ofMrs. Lamb’s numerousinterests, including history,antique collection, garden-ing and the activities of St.Paul’s Episcopal Church.
Rita Hull, the lastdescendant of Judge JamesWolcott who actually livedin the existing WolcottHouse, left the house as agift to St. Paul’s in the hopethat the church would makeit a museum. Unfortunately,the project came with a$60,000 price tag, which thechurch simply could notafford.
Mrs. Lamb, then in hermid-60s, rallied both theMaumee and the NorthwestOhio Historical Societiesbehind the cause. She alsoled an army of volunteerswho held fund-raisers andvolunteered labor, eventual-ly reducing the cost of theWolcott House restorationto $15,000.
She also rummagedabout the East Coast, uncov-ering the history of theWolcott House and itsinhabitants. No doubt, herpost-secondary education atSmith College inMassachusetts helped famil-iarize her with both histori-cal research methods and theNew England area.
Mrs. Lamb continued tobe involved in the WolcottHouse, filling the Gilbert
Flanagan Farmhouse at thecomplex with periodantiques and researching theappropriate furnishings, col-ors, déécor and tools for the19th-century home.
She has also served theMaumee Valley HistoricalSociety as president, vicepresident and secretary overa span of about 40 years, andfounded and held every
office in the Wolcott HouseGuild. Currently, she is atrustee emerita on the his-torical society’s board.
Mrs. Lamb also has beeninvolved in the MaumeeGarden Club for more than45 years.
“One of her dreams wasto have a period garden,”Wendler explained, and thePrudence Lamb Historic
Garden, a 90th birthdaypresent, fulfilled that dream.The garden, located betweenthe Talking Turtle Shop andthe Wolcott House, is filledwith flowers that would havegrown in the area during the1840s.
“There’s a lot of thoughtpoured into that garden,”said Chuck Jacobs, former
BY LAUREN C. OSTBERGMIRROR REPORTER
Members of theMaumee community are atno loss for words when itcomes to describing PrudenceLamb, who recently celebrat-ed her 100th birthday.
“A lot of superlativescome to mind,” said ChuckJacobs, former curator/execu-tive director of the WolcottHouse Museum.“Extraordinary, for starters,but I’m sure everyone else hasalready told you that.”
A lifetime of accom-plishments and character gavefriends, family and colleaguesplenty of material to workwith.
“She’s really been aprominent figure in theMaumee community forquite some time, has beengenerous throughout thecommunity and a benefac-tress to many, including theWolcott House, the historicalsociety and area gardenclubs,” Maumee Mayor TimWagener said.
Perhaps her greatestaccomplishment was therestoration and developmentof the Wolcott House. It wasMrs. Lamb’s dedication and
relentless energy that helpedpreserve this piece of localhistory.
“She’s been such aninspiration to people in termsof her knowledge of historyand convincing people to vol-unteer or become members,”Jack Hiles, a longtimeHistorical Society memberand business consultant forthe Wolcott House Complex.
“Certainly Mrs. Lambhas a lot of brains and resolvein her personality; that driveand energy defines her,”Jacobs said.
Her daughter, PriscillaSchwier, agreed.
“When she focuses inon something, she’s very stub-born about it; she makes sureit’s successful,” Schwier said.
Mrs. Lamb has dedicat-ed her energy, full force, tohistorical, environmental andhumanitarian causes.
“She’s very quiet aboutit, though,” Schwier said.“She’s kind of a spark plug.She’s this tiny woman – lessthan five feet tall – and youdon’t realize the tremendousamount of energy and powershe’s exerting.”
The “quietness” of Mrs.Lamb’s drive may be theproduct of humility. She
seems to expect her toweringcontributions to remainunnoticed. When comment-ing on her 100th birthdayparty, Mrs. Lamb said, “Iappreciate it all, and I’m notsure I deserved it.”
She seemed surprised tobe honored with the MaumeeRiver Award at the 2002Hometown Heroes banquet,despite her work in the com-munity.
Some of Mrs. Lamb’scontributions are containedin the little things, in herattention to detail in decorat-ing the Flanagan Farmhouse,in her social interactions andin her dedication.
Jacobs recalls her com-mitment to the historical gar-den named in her honor atthe Wolcott House.
“In the dead heat ofsummer – the thermometerwas pushing 100 – and Mrs.Lamb was out there weedingthe garden,” he said. “I could-n’t believe that she’d be outthere in that weather.
“Sometimes I find ithard to keep up.”
Mrs. Lamb carried thesame energy and commit-ment into her personal andsocial life.
