Three Upper Sandusky firefighters battle a blaze in a garage at the intersection of Ohio 199 and TH 29 in Crawford. USFD, Carey Fire Department and Wyandot County Sheriff’s Office, Emergency Medical Services and Emergency Management Agency all responded to the incident.

SYCAMORE — Ever since Cole Draper finished last season as the state runner-up at 170 pounds in Division III, Mohawk coach Nate Lofay’s goal for him was a state championship this year. Even matching last year’s second-place finish will be a tall order based on Draper’s draw at the state tournament, which includes Mechanicsburg’s Kaleb Romero in the same quarter of the bracket.

MARSEILLES — Nearly 100 people bowed their heads for a moment of silence before Wyandot County Historical Society Director Ronald Marvin Jr. read the names of the 35 passengers and three crew members who lost their lives aboard Lake Central Flight 527.

SHELBY — Riverdale is getting good a gutting out games. The Falcons kept their season going a while longer Saturday with a 65-61 win over Willard in the Division III district final at Shelby.

TOLEDO — Two of Riverdale’s three district qualifiers picked up two tournament wins, and all three will be back for next season. The Falcons were led by junior Wayne Frey’s sixth-place finish at 145 pounds on Saturday in the Division III tournament at Waite. Fellow junior Aidan Loveridge scored a pair of wins at 182 pounds and came up just shy of placing.

MANSFIELD — Noah Clary is headed back to state, and though it is unlikely any of his teammates will wrestle with him in Columbus next weekend, Upper Sandusky has made a mark on the area. The Rams finished seventh in the Division II Mansfield district with 70 points, behind Buckeye (79.5) in sixth and ahead of the likes of Napoleon (66.5) in eighth, Bay (66.5) in ninth and Tiffin Columbian (62) in 10th. Wauseon was the runaway winner, 207.5-132, over Ashland.

MARSEILLES — Sunday is the 50th anniversary of the only recorded commercial airplane crash in Wyandot County history. Lake Central Flight 527 crashed in a field along TH 94, south of Ohio 67 West, southwest of Marseilles on March 5, 1967. “Plane crash in county takes 38 lives,” was the headline in The Daily Chief-Union the following day.

LIMA — Trailing by nine points midway through the third quarter, Kenton looked to be on the verge of falling away during its sectional final basketball contest with Upper Sandusky. The Wildcats, who led by one point at halftime, regained their footing, however, and pulled within a single point several times late in the game, before the No. 2 seed Rams finally hung on for a 68-67 victory at Lima Senior on Friday night.
