WQKT - Steve Smith Classic

Wed, 12/28/2011 - 10:58am

Thanks to all who helped make this years event happen. Hard to beleive the is year number eight. A good day of basketball was had again at the College of Wooster. The time sacrificed by all those who volunteered their help was invaluable and greatly appreciated. Year nine should be finalized soon.

Football over

Mon, 12/12/2011 - 7:58pm

We talked at the station in mid-August that summer is kinda over with high school football almost here. We took a deep breath and said, ok let's forget about weekends off and see what we've got. Little did we know that it included a State Champion. Norwayne's historic run capped a great year for the area and us. We have been blessed thru the years with area teams going deep into the playoffs and extending the really fun part of the season. This year was no different. With Norwayne, Orrville and Smithville adding to the postseason treats, playoff time was again fun time.

Playoff Push

Mon, 10/31/2011 - 8:52am

Three area teams will head to the OHSAA football playoffs this weekend. Norwayne, Orrville and Smithville are preparing for action this weekend. We are fortunate to continue our local football coverage into Week #11. It does feel a little different showing up for a playoff game. The excitement is heightened quite a bit. We are looking forward to continuing our coverage all the way to the State Championship Games in Stark County on December 2-3. It will be our 16th straight year covering the finals and like the playoffs, will arrive in a blink.

Final stretch

Wed, 10/12/2011 - 8:41am

The final three weeks of the high school football season are upcoming and a bunch of questions still need to be answered. Playoff teams from the area may be at a premium this year. Four or five postseason berths are normal for our area but if things fall badly, we might have just one playoff team this year. Norwayne continues to put up numbers that have been rarely seen in the WCAL. Can Hillsdale or Smithville slow the 'Cat roll? If so, they too could be playing extra weeks.

Fall

Wed, 08/31/2011 - 9:40am

Fall is officially here despite what the calender might say. The best season of the year is upon us. Football has cranked it up with the high schools and college and pro aren't far behind. Here in Wooster, that means the Wayne County Fair is close and that's as big as it gets for some in September. It just feels a little better in the fall. The weather usually cooperates and sports this time of the year is great. It means the start of a new season. Everybody begins fresh and coming off a normally calm summer, it's nice to crank it back up again.

Thanks again

Many thanks again for those that took part in the annual Swartzentruber Memorial Golf Scramble this past weekend at Riceland Golf Course. We had 108 golfers this year and considering everything, more than a respectable number. All our funds raised are contributed to Riceland Golf Course for their Junior golf program and to the Swartzentruber Junior Golf Series. Melinda Bates runs the series and does a fabulous job giving a place for young golfers to compete. As always, Larry Lisic and staff make everything easy from my standpoint.

OSU mess

Wed, 06/01/2011 - 7:33am

You have to wonder how it ended so abruptly for Jim Tressel. Last year at this time he could do no wrong, or so we thought. The biggest question mark in history hangs over the Ohio State program and it can only get worse over the coming months, and probably years. The NCAA will take its time sorting through the mess and the letters USC keep coming to mind. OSU will get past this eventually and fans will still pack Ohio Stadium this fall but it will feel different. Shock, disappointment and anger are just a few of the many words to describe the feelings felt by so many.

Is it possible?

Mon, 05/02/2011 - 6:18am

Seems to be the question. Is it possible? Can the Indians really contend this season. Fans really want to believe. I mean REALLY want to believe. I was with a group of 36 golfers this weekend out of town and can't tell you how many we're talking about the Tribe. Normal sports fans who like a little bit of everything, and the Indians were the number one topic of conversation. The start to their season has been nothing short of special but we all know the next question. Can they keep in going?

Tribe and weather

Fri, 04/22/2011 - 7:51am

The Indians great start to their season is a little something positive for the northeast sports fan this spring. With a collection of guys you definitely need a media guide to find out about, the axiom that great pitching and defense always wins is surely proving true. We have no idea how this will translate into the rest of the year but one thing is for sure, its better for the Tribe to start well with no expectations and maybe struggle later then finish strong after a bad start, because by then, nobody is watching.

On to Baseball

Sun, 03/27/2011 - 2:41pm

The Hiland Hawks made an otherwise unspectacular Boys State Tournament memorable. The Hawks captured the Division Four crown with Saturday's win over Harvest Prep joining the 1992 team as Boys State Champions. The added local feel in Columbus provided a much need punch to three days that overall were not spectacular. We always hope for compelling stories and close, well-played games but our high expectations aren't always realized. None the less, four champs were crowned and the 89th Boys Tournament is in the books...on to baseball.
