SETTEBAGNI, Italy -- Ohio Northern fought heavy rains and hail and the host Roma Grizzlies to post a 31-0 victory in a controlled scrimmage Sunday afternoon at the Salaria Sport Village on the banks of the River Tiber.

Will Freed threw for 147 yards and two touchdowns and ran for another score to lead the Polar Bear offense.

A strong thunderstorm with torrential rains and pea-sized hail flooded the stadium an hour prior to kickoff, which delayed the start of the game nearly 20 minutes.

The two teams played a controlled scrimmage, with each team getting 10 offensive plays at a time. The field was also a bit shorter, measuring just 90 yards.

Sometimes the big one gets away, but not in this case.

This hefty catfish was hauled in during the Liberty Conservation Club annual fishing derby Sunday afternoon. It had no tag for prize money so back into the lake he (or she) went.

The fishing crowd was down a little this year due to cooler than normal temperatures. For some fishermen, cold is no object, ice fishing is fun to them. For others, fishing can wait another day when cold temps and breezes are at hand.
