The Upper Sandusky junior high wrestling team opened its season by winning its own event, the East of Chicago tournament, on Saturday. The Rams scored 204.5 points, finishing well ahead of Shelby with 131 points and Fostoria with 130 points. Riverdale was seventh with 22 points.

Erin Merriman scored 13 points to lead the Upper Sandusky seventh grade girls basketball team to a 35-11 victory against Buckeye Central on Monday. Grace Metzger, Ryleigh Haas, Bailey Fox, Mazzy Shoemaker and Sophia Nichols all had 4 points.

Mason Vent scored 31 points on Saturday night and yet Upper Sandusky coach Jeff Winslow said it was not his best effort. It was, however, more than enough to lead the Rams to an 83-62 victory against Tiffin Columbian. The Upper Sandusky junior forward has 60 points in his first two games after scoring 29 in the season opener Friday night. “Not that he played bad, but it wasn’t one of his better games,” Winslow said.

MOUNT BLANCHARD — It had been a while — at least four years — since the Wynford girls basketball team defeated Riverdale. And even longer since the Royals turned the ball over eight times or less in a game. The last time was reportedly against Lucas in 2011.

FINDLAY — Carey finished 2-3 in the season-opening Findlay Duals on Saturday. The Blue Devils got a 41-40 victory against Wapakoneta and another win that was not available.

BUCYRUS — Josh Crall scored 30 points but it was not quite enough as Wynford fell 63-59 to Margaretta in overtime on Saturday evening. The Polar Bears (2-0) made 14 of 17 free throws in the game and outscored the Royals (0-2) 12-8 in the extra period.
