Lakota Swimmers Earn Personal Bests at Sandusky Meet

Two Lakota Local Schools swimmers turned a last‑minute opportunity into a standout day in the pool, representing their team at a tri‑meet hosted by Sandusky High School. Bennett Ebert and Landen Graber competed against athletes from Sandusky and Anthony Wayne, stepping up on short notice to make sure Lakota was on the blocks.

Landen delivered a strong performance in both of his events, the 200 Freestyle and 100 Backstroke. He not only posted personal‑best times in each race but also claimed second place in both, showing impressive versatility between freestyle endurance and backstroke technique. Bennett matched that energy in his own lineup, taking on the demanding 200 Individual Medley, where he earned second place, and the 100 Breaststroke, where he finished third. In both races, Bennett set new personal records, underscoring his steady improvement this season.

For a meet that came together quickly, Lakota’s swimmers made the most of their chance to compete, leaving Sandusky with new best times, top‑three finishes, and momentum for the rest of the year.

Oak Harbor Uses Strong Second Half to Defeat Fostoria, 62–40

Oak Harbor surged past Fostoria in the second half to claim a 62–40 non-conference win Saturday night. The Redmen started strong, matching Oak Harbor’s intensity early, but the momentum shifted late in the second quarter as the visitors found a shooting rhythm.

A barrage of three-pointers in the third quarter allowed Oak Harbor to extend its lead and keep Fostoria chasing for the remainder of the game. Despite flashes of strong play, Fostoria’s energy and consistency waned as fatigue set in.

Head coach Cody Johnson highlighted conditioning and focus as ongoing areas of development for his young team, acknowledging improvements compared to their previous outing. Senior Jayceon Tucker anchored the Redmen effort, fighting through heavy contact in the paint and providing leadership on both ends. Johnson stressed that continued progress in ball movement and defensive execution will be key as Fostoria works through its growing pains.

Arcadia came up just short in a marathon matchup against Seneca East, falling 63–59 in double overtime on Saturday. The Lady Redskins controlled much of the game and built a 10-point lead early in the second half before Seneca East rallied behind strong three-point shooting in the third quarter.

Arcadia held its ground through two overtimes, getting key contributions from a freshman at the free-throw line to stay in contention. However, missed layups and late turnovers proved costly as fatigue set in. Seneca East ultimately sealed the win with clutch free throws during the second overtime, showing depth and composure despite having played another double-overtime contest earlier in the day.

The matchup carried added weight with tournament seeding on the line, and both teams displayed toughness and resilience in a game that could preview another postseason meeting.
