Hundreds of people lined up before 8 a.m. for the annual Wilson Sporting Good Co. garage sale on Saturday morning. The event was held in the company's parking lot, nearby parking areas were filled to capacity.

The sun had barely peeked above the horizon, but a long line of shoppers was already on hand to take home some bargains.

One man said he was there for the "good deals."

Another said he was carrying out golf clubs for $55 that would normally sell for $200 in a retail store.

Last year's ONU Homecoming king and queen were back for this year's activities on Saturday.

Posed in front of a converted trolley (owned by the Allen County RTA) are Taylor Manahan and Jacob Soppe.

Taylor, who graduated in May, now lives in West Liberty. Jacob is a fourth-year pharmacy student from Columbus.

Stingy defense and a monster game from Ada Senior Blake Ansley propelled the underdog Bulldogs to a 19-7 upset home victory over state ranked Columbus Grove on Friday.

Ansley hauled in eight grabs for 209 yards, scoring on plays of 50 and 80 yards, helping Ada to improve their record to 3-2 overall and 1-1 in the Northwest Conference.
Neither team found the end zone until late in the second quarter as multiple turnovers plagued both offenses early in the game.
