She spoke to Prof. Kathie Fleck’s public relations class and later helped judge the Cekebrezze moot court competition at the law school. Justice French has served on the Ohio Supreme Court since 2014. She will be up for election in 2020 for a six-year term. Here she chats with Connor Gillmor before he interviews her for ONU’s 3-TV.

OTTOVILLE - The Ada softball team scored eight runs in the fourth inning and cruised to a 14-0 win in its delayed season opener at non-league foe Ottoville Wednesday evening.
Freshman Leona Dalton fired a five-inning shutout in her debut, and aided her own cause with two hits, a run batted in and three runs scored. Dalton struck out five and walked none in the run-rule shortened, complete-game effort.
The Lady Bulldogs scored two runs in the first inning, then added one in the second and three more in the third to build a 6-0 cushion. They then put the game out of reach with eight more in the fourth frame.
