Following halftime, the Whiteoak Wildcats looked like a whole different team in the third quarter than they did in the first half. As head coach Blake Kibler said following the game, what his team was trying to do in the first half was to get into “the flow of things,” but once that third quarter arrived, it was a whole new ball game for the home Wildcats.

Oh joy! A Golden Buckeye card for Christmas

Tuesday, December 18, 2018 11:28 AM

Thank you to the Ohio Department of Aging for reminding me that I’m an oldster. Santa Claus probably mailed my Golden Buckeye card in time for Christmas because I said he wasn’t real.
