Lady Bulldogs sweep AE, Woods sets record By Cort Reynolds
HARROD - The visiting Ada volleyball team rallied late twice behind a record night from junior standout Melina Woods to sweep local rival Allen East Tuesday night in a Northwest Conference match.
The 26-24, 26-24, 25-20 victory improved the Lady Bulldog record to 12-6 overall and 5-0 in the NWC, tops in the league. Meanwhile, AE fell to 6-7 and 1-3 in the NWC.
Senior Scott Rapps (Bay Village Bay) was named to the D3football.com Team of the Week presented by Scoutware for his efforts in Ohio Northern's 16-10 victory over Otterbein.
Rapps turned in a dominating performance from his defensive tackle position.
He had a team-high nine sacks, had 5.0 tackles for loss, 1.5 sacks, forced a fumble and recovered two fumbles in the game.
His first fumble recovery was in the end zone for ONU's only touchdown of the game in the second quarter and his second was part of a sack and strip that snuffed out Otterbein's final drive with 1:33 left in the game.
Ada recognized its girls' tennis seniors at their last home match Tuesday vs. Marion Harding.
Players honored, with parents, from left: Meredith Marshall, Libbie Milks and Paige Hopson. Marshall and Milks were four-year letter winners for the team, which is in
its fourth year back in their second stint as a varsity program.
