FINDLAY — Competing against a field full of bigger schools, Carey’s girls took third place Saturday in the Van Buren Invitational at Owens Community College’s Findlay campus. Findlay won the championship 51-75 over Anthony Wayne, followed by Carey with 115 points. Whitmer was the boys winner 44-75 over Findlay. The Blue Devils were 13th with 353 points, and Riverdale came in 16th with 408 points.

FINDLAY — If first-year Riverdale head football coach Britton Devier was looking for a signature win in his debut season, he found it Friday night against Van Buren at Donnell Stadium in Findlay, defeating the Black Knights for the first time since joining the Blanchard Valley Conference six years ago.

CAREY — Heading into halftime Friday night against Mohawk at Wentling Field, Carey had not scored a point in seven quarters and was staring at a 0-4 record if things didn’t change. The Blue Devils did not allow that to happen. The defense continued its dominant play, and the offense did enough to get Carey its first win of the season 21-6, their first victory against the Warriors in three seasons.

BUCYRUS — After finishing the nonconference portion of its schedule with a 1-2 record, Wynford felt it needed to make a statement heading into Northern 10 Athletic Conference play Friday night against Buckeye Central. The Royals’ offense flashed their big play ability, scoring on all five possessions in the first half en route to a dominating 57-0 win on homecoming night against the winless Bucks.

Colonel Crawford senior wide receiver/defensive back Jordan Fenner picked the perfect time for his first career kickoff return for a touchdown. Moments after the Upper Sandusky quarterback Mason Vent scored on a 9-yard touchdown run to give the Rams a two-point lead with 1:28 remaining in the third quarter, Fenner took the ensuing kickoff and, after not seeing an opening on the right, sprinted to his left and took the kickoff 80 yards for a score.

CAREY — For the second time in one week, Carey’s Sarah Reinhart won a race by more than a minute. Reinhart won the girls race in 20:16 at the Carey Run on Thursday at Carey. Her closest competitor, Van Buren’s Justine Hunt, finished second in 21:20.

Upper Sandusky had a well-rounded effort in taking a 25-18, 16-25, 25-18, 25-17 victory against Colonel Crawford on Thursday night in Northern 10 Athletic Conference volleyball action at Upper Sandusky. Emily Hill and Lily Gibson finished with seven kills each, while Reagan Ward contributed four aces, six kills and five blocks. Jenna Kurtz finished with five kills and four blocks for the Rams (4-9, 3-6 N10).

Mara Smalley delivered a second straight gutsy win but Shelby downed Upper Sandusky 4-1 in a girls tennis match Thursday at Upper Sandusky. Smalley won her No. 2 singles match 6-4, 7-6 (7-4) over Molly Eith.

For the second straight year, a Wynford athlete has been named All-Northern 10 Athletic Conference girls golf player of the year. Caity Schiefer took that top honor this season, following Abby Underwood’s accolade last year. Schiefer, a junior, led the league with an adjusted nine-hole average of 50.25, good enough to edge out Seneca East sophomore Autumn Enders at 50.92.
