Late start, youth will challenge RaidersBy KEVIN WANNEMACHER

SportswriterHAVILAND Coming off of an out-

standing football season, Wayne Trace willhave to overcome a late start as the Raiders

look to mix youth and inexperience withveterans returning in the upcoming year.The red, white and blue do bring back

four letter winners from a squad that was20-3 a year ago. However, the Raiders alsohave to overcome the loss of 40 points fromthat squad on a team that averaged only 60a contest.

Head coach Jim Linder returns for his

sixth season at the helm of the programwith a team that has high hopes but also hasconcerns.

Three of the top four returnees enjoyedsuccess as part of the football team and willlook to carry that success over to the hard-wood.

After leading the football team at quarter-back, senior guard Colby Speice (6-3)comes back at the point for Wayne Traceafter posting seven points a night last yearwhile dishing out 78 assists and recording50 steals.

Senior forward Devin Wenzlick (6-2)

also comes back following a season thatsaw him chip in three points and threeboards per game.

Junior Jake Arend (6-2) posted 20 stealsand contributed two points and two caromsa night. Junior Corbin Linder (6-0) alsoreturns, scoring 11.2 points a season agowhile hitting 62 treys and adding 38 assistsand 41 steals.

We do have a good nucleus back, notedLinder, who is 51-61 at the helm of theRaiders. We are going to be young andinexperienced at some spots and featureexperience and be veterans at others. The

key is being able to mix those thingstogether and work together as a team for 32minutes.

Four newcomers to the varsity level aregoing to be counted on to provide key min-utes for Wayne Trace.

Senior forwards Brock Worden (6-1) andT.J. Blackmore (6-4) move up from the jun-ior varsity level as does junior guard/for-ward David Sinn (6-5). Freshman guardEthan Linder (6-2) also will see playingtime at the varsity level.

A big concern is how long it takes us toget our basketball legs, commented theRaider head coach. Another area is ourpost players and how quickly they adapt tothe varsity game. We should be able to be

physical but we have to do it in a smartway.We had a very good summer season,

continued Linder. This group really jelledtogether very well and the chemistry wasvery good. I think once we get past the tran-sition from football to basketball that thisteam has a lot of potential.

Linder does feel though that the Raidersare very deep and that should allow WayneTrace to push the tempo offensively.

When we have the ball, we want to get

out and go, Linder added. We feel like wehave a group of kids that are very goodtogether and we can play any of them atanytime. This group is a very close groupand they like to run. We are hopeful that our

depth is able to wear teams down.We are behind the eight ball a little bit

with the football teams success but itssomething we have to overcome, said theRaider head coach. Our quickness willallow us to be very aggressive and we want

to control the tempo. We have to use ourdepth to our advantage.Defensively, the red, white and blue will

feature primarily a man-to-man squad.Wayne Trace could also mix in some zonedefenses as well.

As far as the league goes, Linder feelsTinora and Edgerton will both be very goodwhile Ayersville should be much improved.The Raider head coach is hopeful thatWayne Trace is in the mix as well.

Edgerton has some very good players

back from a team that was the league run-ner-ups, concluded Linder. Tinora wasvery good last year and they return keyplayers as well. Ayersville has a nice groupof kids too. Hopefully we fall somewhere inthe race as well. It should be a very goodrace for the league title.

Lady Raiders looking for fresh startBy KEVIN WANNEMACHER

SportswriterHAVILAND Lots of new faces will dot

the roster of the Wayne Trace Lady Raider bas-ketball team, starting at the top as Bethany

Hughes takes over the reins of the red, whiteand blue.Hughes enters her fifth season as a basket-

ball coach but her first as a head coach with aninexperienced squad. The new head coach is aformer guard at Wayne Trace and also playedcollegiately at Mount Vernon NazareneUniversity.

The Lady Raiders bring back five playerswho played in at least 18 games a year ago, butWayne Trace does face some key questionsentering the campaign.

and blue averaged 25 turnovers agame last season and that has to improve tobecome more competitive.

We have worked a lot on fundamentals thisyear, noted the first year head coach. Ourball handling has gotten much better but wealso still have a lot of improvement that we canmake yet.

Wayne Trace also must do a better job ofputting up points when the opportunities arise.

One thing this year is we want to push theball up and down the floor as much as we canand hopefully that leads to quality scoring

chances for us, commented Hughes. Wehave size which should allow us to be able torebound the basketball and we need to followthat up by running the floor effectively.

A trio of seniors lead the list of returnees forWayne Trace.

Forwards Sylvia Young (6-3) and LaurenSpeice (5-11) along with guard/forwardBrenda Feasby (5-9) all will be asked to stepup their roles this year.

Weve got a good group of kids back thathave been very receptive to what we are trying

to do and they have worked extremely hard,

Hughes continued. They have done a greatjob of catching on to what we are trying toimplement so far.

Young averaged six points and fourrebounds a contest last year while Feasby

chipped in four points and three caroms whileposting 42 steals. Speice, who suffered a sea-son-ending knee injury in the fifth game lastyear, posted eight points and eight rebounds anight in the limited action.

Senior guard Madison Poling (5-6) alsocomes back for the red, white and blue. Polingplayed in 18 games a year ago and will beasked to step into the point guard slot this sea-son. Sophomore Shayna Temple (5-10), who

chipped in four points and four boards pergame last year, also will see action at the point.Both Madi and Shayna will serve as point

guards for us, Hughes noted. They haveimproved their skills but they also know they

HAVILAND With four district qualifiers

returning, the Wayne Trace wrestling team

carries high expectations into the 2013-14

season.

The red, white and blue brings back 10 kids

who posted double digits in victories last year

and six that recorded at least 20 wins on the

season.Topping the list of returnees is sophomore

George Clemens at 106, who was 46-3 a year

ago and set school records for consecutive

victories (43), most wins in a season and best

season winning percentage.

Junior Tyler Showalter also comes back fol-

lowing a year that saw him post a 37-12

record to go along with breaking the school

record for takedowns in a season with 88.

Showalter will be in the 138 pound weight

class.Senior Dustin Taylor, at 113, was 33-15 as a

junior and took sectional runner-up honors.

Other top grapplers coming back for the

Raiders include juniors Matt Baxter (120),

Zaine Cotterman (132), Jacob Dingus (145),

Josh Reel (152), Riley Moore (220), Daron

Showalter (182) and Justin Pierce (195).

We have a lot of wrestlers with a lot of

experience returning, noted Raider head

coach George Clemens. We are returning

four district qualifiers and a pair of state qual-

ifiers with several others who are very talent-

ed as well.

Wayne Trace also brings in a talented fresh-

man class, according to Clemens.

Our freshman group has shown a lot of

promise, continued the Raider head coach.

Newcomers at the ninth grade level include

Ruger Goeltzenleuchter, Caleb Schultz, RianJames, Brandon Laney, Chance Elliott and

Sam Nickols.

Senior Jake Gerber is out for the first time

as well for Wayne Trace and is joined by sen-

ior Jacob Schlegel.

Junior Carl Elliott returns as well after win-

ning seven times last season.

Bottom line is if all of the kids come out

and stay healthy, we should be a very compet-

itive team, Clemens added. Our depth

should be a strength for us.I am very excited for this season, con-

cluded the Raider mentor. I believe we have

the potential to have a very successful year

and be very competitive in both our league

and sectionals.

New Archer coach optimistic about seasonBy JOE SHOUSE

SportswriterANTWERP A new coach will be

on the sidelines guiding the 2013-14edition of Antwerp Archer basket-ball, but according to the coach, therewill be little change when it comes tothe style of play.

Last years varsity assistant, TJHammer, was named head coach fol-lowing the resignation of 13-yearveteran coach Scott McMichael atthe close of last season. The Archersfinished the year 15-10.

Hammer has five years experi-ence as a varsity head coach with two

years being at Montpelier and threeyears at the helm at Edon.

The new coach returns five playersfrom last years varsity roster includ-ing starters Derek Smalley, TrentonCopsey and part-time starter KadenBrumett. Also returning who gath-ered varsity minutes last campaignare Colton Stout and Garrett Jones.

The balance of the varsity willinclude Sam Williamson, EricMiesle, Tyler Messman, MattReinhart, Joe Buerkle, JoshLongardner and Jeff Coleman. Eightseniors, one junior, and three sopho-mores make up this years team.

Antwerp is such a great schoolwith great kids. The transition froman assistant coach to head coach wasan easy one, plus off-season work-outs in the summer went well. I guessthe only difference is that I dontsleep as much now, Hammer saidwith a laugh.

When assessing his team, the headmentor feels that from top to bottom,he has 12 guys who can shoot the ballvery well.

We will be fine in that area, butone of our weak areas will be in thepaint. We will need consistent play atthe post away from the basket, said

Hammer.Overall, Antwerp will be a man-to-

man defensive team and on occasionwill run a 1-3-1 zone. Our defensewill be similar to that in the past. Wepride ourselves in our defense and wewill continue to guard very well. Ifwe guard, we will compete, saidCoach Hammer.

Hammer will be looking to seniorDerek Smalley to run the offense.Smalley, the second leading scorerfrom last year, will be one whoHammer feels will bring success tothe program this year. Smalley, whoinjured his knee during the football

season, is coming along slowly.We hope to have him in the line-

up for our scrimmage on Nov. 23. Itsbeen a little difficult practicingTrenton Copsey, the lone junior whostands 6-foot-4, has worked hard inthe off season and will need to carrythe load in the paint according toHammer. Trenton can step out andplay outside but with his height wewill need him around the basket.

Also vying for a starting spot are atrio of players including GarrettJones, Colton Stout and Joe Buerkle.All three have been very competi-tive in practice and its been a goodbattle between the three, saidHammer.

Eric Miesle, Tyler Messman and

Matt Reinhart all seniors will allhave playing time this year.Miesle is a combo player who can

play at a couple of positions andMessman will bring a lot of energy tothe game at the guard spot. Reinhartknows all five spots and is a great kidto have on the team, Hammer said.

Along with Smalley, Miesle is outof practice due to a concussion buthopes to be cleared and ready to goon opening night.

Splitting time with the junior varsi-

ty will be a couple of sophomores inJeff Coleman and Josh Longardner.

Its only November and we havea long way to go, but like any yearwe feel we will compete againstevery team on their schedule. Ourgoal is to work hard and win theGMC, concluded Hammer.

The Archers open on the road onNov. 30 at Paulding followed by aroad game on Dec. 6 at FortJennings. The first home game will

be Saturday, Dec. 7 against Fayette.

Young Lady Archers look for improvementBy JOE SHOUSE

Sportswriter

ANTWERP Head Coach

Kevin Taylor describes the 2013-

14 edition of Lady Archers basket-

ball as young but athletic.Coming off a disappointing 4-20

campaign, Taylor feels his Lady

Archers are much improved, but

will have to work as a team to

experience a level of success. The

Lady Archers graduated three sen-

iors off their team from last season

including leading scorer Alexis

Jones, Avrial Sawyer and Chay

Jackson.

Taylor welcomes five playersback who saw considerable play-

ing time including a trio of sopho-

mores in Avery Braaten, Annie

Miesle and Audrie Longardner.

Also returning are junior

Cheyenne Miller-Sweet and lone

senior Kaiya Jemison.

Joining the varsity squad will be

Kiana Recker, who played junior

varsity last year, and freshman

Peyton Short.The seven-player varsity squad

will also have junior varsity play-

ers added on a game-by-game

basis. However, Taylor has yet to

determine who will play both jun-

ior varsity and varsity.

We have improved since prac-

tice started. We have already

scrimmaged against a couple of

teams and we are getting better,

said Taylor.

Looking at his teams strength,

Taylor feels they will be solid at

the defensive end, but may have

trouble scoring consistently. Like

most years, we do not have muchheight but we have good speed. If

we can come up with a couple of

consistent scorers we should be

competitive, said Taylor.

Taylor feels Jemison can be an

offensive threat with 10 to 12

points per game and Short adding

seven or eight. If we can get those

two to be close to double figures

and then rely on the rest of the

scoring by committee, we shouldhave our chances to win our share

of games, he said.

Part of the committee Coach

Taylor will look to is Braaten, who

is the teams best shooter, and for

leadership Coach Taylor is still

searching for that important ele-

ment, although he is hoping

Miller-Sweet will develop that role

and own it as the season progress-

es.My three freshmen from last

season (Braaten, Miesle and

Longardner) gained valuable expe-

rience and they need to transfer

their athletic ability into a more

consistent year. We will be more

team-oriented this year and will

compete for 32 minutes. he said.

Numbers are up this year, which

is a good sign for Antwerp Lady

Archer basketball.

We have 15 girls playing in the

program, which is four more than

last year. We wont have to watch

the number of quarters they are

playing in a junior varsity game in

order to make sure they are eligible

to play in the varsity game. This

year should be better all around,

said Taylor.

Antwerp will open on the road

for their first three games: at

Delphos Jefferson on Nov. 23; at

Paulding on Nov. 26; at Edon on

Dec. 3. The Lady Archers will not

play before the home crowd until

Dec. 5 when they host Kalida.

Antwerp wrestling continues to make stridesBy JOE SHOUSE

Sportswriter

ANTWERP At first, the third

year for Antwerp Archer wrestling

looked promising with the poten-

tial of having the entire team return

due to no seniors on the 2012 ros-

ter. Unfortunately for head coach

Jeremy Kosch, several wrestlers

did not return and three wrestlers

moved out of the district.

We were hoping to have every-

one back but we picked up some

new wrestlers and were able to fill

some of the gaps, said Kosch.

However, there are a few return-

ing Archers who Kosch feels can

have some success and make some

deep runs in the season tourna-

ments as well as the state tourna-

ment.

Senior Colton Hall will be the

first Antwerp graduate to work

through the wrestling program.

The senior captain will wrestle in

the 152 or 160 weight class.

Colton has really turned the

corner by working hard. Hes one

of the team leaders and should do

very well come tournament time,

said Kosch.

Junior Jarrett Bute will be

wrestling heavyweight and Kosch

feels Jarrett has state tournament

possibilities. Hes the leader of

our program. As a two-time district

qualifier and statistical leader for

two years he has done so much for

Antwerp wrestling, Kosch said.

Also returning will be junior

Jordan Laker and sophomore

Austin VanAtta. Lake wrestles the

220 weight class while VanAtta

will be at 170 or 182 weight class.

Jordan had his ups and downs

last year and will need to be more

consistent while Austin looks to be

much improved over last season,

said Kosch.

The mentor is expecting big

things from sophomore Justice

Clark, who will wrestle at 145 or

152 this year. Last year was

Justices first year wrestling, but he

is looking real good in practice. He

is a very strong and quick athlete

who has worked very hard, said

Kosch.

Logan Shaner is only a fresh-

man, but Kosch is very high on his

potential. He was the junior high

conference champion last year and

will wrestle at 113 or 120. I am

really excited about Logans abili-

ty and we are expecting big things

from him.

Rounding out the squad are

Ashley Pratt and Mariah Elkins.

These two have never wrestled

before, but they are working hard

and we will just have to wait and

see how they adjust and progress,

said Kosch.

We obviously will not do all

that great in dual meets because we

dont have the numbers. There will

be several weight classes we will

not have a wrestler. But individual-

ly I think Hall, Clark, Bute and

Shaner can have some success in

tournaments.

With three years under his belt,

Kosch sees the wrestling program

making strides.

Wrestling isnt new anymore

here at Antwerp. We have some

experience and we are not starting

at ground zero. The ones we have

want to be here and they are work-

ing extremely hard, he said.

Kosch attributes the continued

interest and improvement in

wrestling to the wrestling club for

kids age 5 through sixth grade.

This is a great opportunity for

youngsters to be introduced to

wrestling at an early age. Right

now, we have about 25 kids in the

feeder system and in January we

hope to pick up another 20-25

kids, said Kosch.

By JIM LANGHAM

SportswriterPAULDING The Lady Panthers bring lots

of experience to the court this winter. SeniorsSierra McCullough, Jerika Bland, AleshaSimon and Abby Pease are expected to bringplenty of leadership to the squad.McCullough, Bland, Pease, and juniorsBrooke Combs and Suzanne Reinhart are allreturning letterwinners.

McCullough, the teams top scorer last year,is a two-year letterwinner and is a strong out-side shooting threat. Head coach LindsaySchultz noted that McCullough has also beenworking on driving toward the basket and ballhandling over the summer.

Jerika Bland has a big task ahead of her asshe will be taking over at the point guard spot.

Bland, also a returning letterwinner, is expect-ed to help with shooting from the outside.

This is Alesha Simons first full year on thevarsity, commented Schultz. She played var-sity off and on last year. She is one of those

people that does the little things that no onesees but that are so important to the game. Shetook 13 charges last year. Shes not afraid toget in there and mix it up.

Abby Pease has two years experience onthe varsity already, continued Schultz. Shewas our best post person last year. Eventhough she is a little short for post, she playsas though she were six-feet-tall. She workshard at all that she does.

Junior Brooke Combs, also a returning let-terwinner, is expected to start strong offen-sively and defensively.

She is coming on a lot stronger and is a lotbetter, said Schultz. Her defense is whereshe improved the most, but she is also shoot-ing the ball better. She makes really good ath-letic plays; now we have to decide the best

way to utilize all of that athleticism.Other individuals with exceptional athleti-

cism include Suzanne Reinhart, a letterwinnerand sophomore Jaycie Varner.

Reinhart has good offensive skills, Schultz PAULDING GIRLS VARSITY BASKETBALL TEAM

said, but she likes Reinhart as one of her bestdefenders, a very physical player that will getassignments guarding the opposing teams postplayers.

Varner, who was on the junior varsity teamlast year, will be playing some point guard.

She is 5-4, but she jumps higher than that,said Schultz.

We dont have a real tall team, but we areworking hard on being in a mental toughnessframe of mind, said Schultz. Defense issomething players can work on hard and learnhow to do successfully. Offensively, you have

to have skill but on defense, you just have to

practice a lot and work hard.One of the biggest challenges so far, said

Schultz, is deciding at any given game whatoffense to use.

It depends on what works for the girls atany game, said Schultz. Its going to dependon what set works best on any night.

League-wise, Schultz feels that Crestview isunquestionably the preseason favorite. Shelikes the chances of Bluffton. Beyond that,said Schultz, it is a matter of lumping teamstogether; most teams have fairly even compet-itiveness, said Schultz.

Panther wrestlers look to advance beyond sectionalsBy JIM LANGHAM

SportswriterPAULDING First-year

Paulding head wrestling coachTony Gonzales is confident that histeam is solid enough to give a run

to the Northwest Conference titleand get out of the sectional thisyear.

In addition, individually, he likesthe chances of Aaron Mock, theDeatrick brothers and Cody Jarrellto have the potential to make astate run this season.

Taylor Deatrick is a senior andwill rotate competition in the 138or 145 class while junior AdamDeatrick is expected to wrestle inthe 170 class. Mock, also a junior,is squared for the 152 class whilesenior Jarrell is expected to wrestleat the 160 level.

The weight classes are not setin stone, said Gonzales. I dontknow their exact weights yet. Onlytime and effort will prove me rightor wrong as far as their chances of

going to state.Two other seniors will vie for

winning trophies. Sidney Salinaswill wrestle in the 106/112 spotswhile Dakota Valdez will fill in atthe 170 weight class.

From the junior class, NelsonFoster will wrestle at 120, DevinRow will compete in the 195 class,Justen Shepherd will seek to winfrom the 285 class and ZackWesley will take aim from the 132class.

Sophomore wrestlers includeCameron Bronson (106), RonMercer (152), Branson Minck(120) and Kage Seals (112). Twofreshmen will compete for themats, Tyler Nichols at 145 andClystal Ramirez at 220.

My wild cards this year areKage Seals and Zach Wesley,commented Gonzales. I believethey have the potential to go far butas a first year coach, I will have tosee their match quality ofwrestling.
