Old jail has

new owner
By JOE SHOUSE
Progress Staff Writer
The old Paulding County Jail
has been sold again.
On April 2, the sale of the jail
was completed with former Van
Wert County resident Shelly
Burk Robertson purchasing the
landmark for $15,000.
The jail escaped demolition in
2013 when All Trades Historical
Restoration from Tampa, Fla.,
purchased the historic structure
for just under $12,000. After
some limited work, both interior and exterior, the building, for
the most part, has received little
attention from its owners.
Because Paulding is some distance from the restoration businesss headquarters and the difficulty of maintaining the structure,
it was later offered for sale.
Purchasing the building was
just a stroke of luck, according to
the new owner.
One of the guys who was
working on the jail put a notice
on Facebook advertising the sale
of the jail. A relative saw the ad
and contacted me about it, Robertson said.

PAYNE Crowds of local supporters gatheredbetween the Payne Elementary School and
ball diamond on Saturday evening in support of
aWayne Trace National Honor Society fundraiser for the family of young Chase Holt.
In the end, over 200 participated in the event
and the Honor Society was able to contribute
$5,000 to the Holt cause.
This is the third annual Glow in the Dark
race that the National Honor Society has done,
commented NHS co-advisor Joni Klopfenstein.
Each one seems to get more support.
Student leaders Kayla Zuber and Scott Wenninger helped plan the event.
All the kids of the National Honor Society
have worked hard on this, said Heather Hatcher, also a co-advisor for thegroup. The honor society kids encouraged others to become
involved with this. They alsohave personally
helped with the race.
Chase Holt is afflicted with a condition
known as neurofibromatosis, a disease that
brings tumors to the fiber in the nervoussystem.
Where there are nerves, there is tumor paralysis, commented Holts father, Christopher.
He is currently paralyzed in his left arm. It is
quite common for hearing problems to develop
with this disease.
Holt noted thatcataracts can develop on the
eyes and it is not unusual for victims to develop
small brain tumors and tumors on the auditory
nerve.
Holts condition was discovered three years
ago when he was playing in the annual marathon at Payne Elementary. His lift arm went
limp. Since then he has had three spinal surgeries in an attempt to help that arm.
Holt saidthat the average life expectancy of a
child with such a disease is 36 years. Currently,
he is on an experimental trial of meds designed
to suppress tumor development.
We are so thankful for all of the support of
this community. While the community is supporting our emotional and spiritual needs, we
are overwhelmed by the way the community
is doing all it can help support our financial
needs, observed Holt.
If it wasnt for the communitys support, we
wouldnt know where to turn, said Holt.

Currently living in Indianapolis, Robertson, who heads up 187
P.I., a paranormal research group,
plans to restore the building and
turn it into a historical museum
that will strongly display the interior of the building and its alleged
dark past.
We plan to get started soon
and pick up where the former
owners left off. Our plan is to display artifacts from the building as
well as depicting the history of
the former jail, she said.
Robertson has already been in
contact with some of the areas
leaders and is excited about the
purchase and is looking forward
to getting started and seeing what
can be discovered in their research.

perfect. We have heard many stories about the jail and its history

Jury selection is the luck of the draw

After opening the tumbler that holds all the names of jury duty prospects, Ed
Straley begins the drawing of names for grand jury. A total of 425 names are drawn.
By JOE SHOUSE
PAULDING Jury duty. Just the
sound of that phrase makes you squirm
a little. Its one of those lists you dont
want your name on and you wonder
how it mysteriously got there to begin
with. Last Friday I went on a little field
trip to see if I could get some answers.
If my name is ever going to show up on
the jury list I want to know how it got
there. So, heres the deal.
There is a group of six who gathers together on the second floor of the
courthouse three times a year and they
go through a process to determine who
makes the cut. Its not all that scientific
and I guess you could say that its the
luck of the draw.
The names and faces who make up
the panel of six that spends nearly three
hours compiling the list are Judge Tiffany Beckman, two jury commissioners,

The two jury commissioners, one

is provided by the board of elections.

Judge Beckman. For example, we can
tell the election board to start with the
third name on the eligible voting list and
then proceed by giving us every-other-name. Each time, its different and

Schnepp victim number three tells his story

PAULDING From the beginning, when
Barry Vance courageously came forward with
his hidden secret from when he was a student
in the Paulding school system, several articles
have been written. As an early teen, Vance, who
is now in his mid-40s, has publicly expressed to
the Paulding Exempted Village School Board,
on more than one occasion, and to the media
how he was molested by then teacher Donald
Schnepp.
The details and the stories have been well
documented over the
past several months.
Details, whether true
or not, should sicken
anyone, especially
those who are in a
position to lead and
teach children and
who are often times
looked up to as one
who can be trusted.
By JOE SHOUSE
During this blackProgress Staff Writer
eye era for Paulding
Exempted Village
Schools, or for that matter, for the entire community, it has always burned within my heart and
soul why any grown man would put themselves
on the block like Barry Vance (victim one) and
David Kincaid (victim two), if none of this is
true.
There is certainly nothing for them to gain
by fabricating an untruth. But after carrying the
humiliation, the pain, and the scars for over 30
years, they come forward seeking a measure of
victory in a situation where everyone is so defeated.
Several months ago, Kincaid, a well-respected business man living in Defiance, put his
reputation on the line and like Vance, risked it
all, to come forward and announce that he, too,
was innocently taken advantage of by Schnepp.
Therefore, in keeping record, Kincaid becomes
n JURY
victim number two.

It appeared the story Vance and Kincaid was
sharing about their Schnepp experience had a
similar thread woven within the fabric of their
stories. Here were two young boys that may not
have had as much as some other neighborhood
kids, a father figure in their lives may not have
been there all the time and they just wanted to fit
in and be a part of the crowd.
The crowd that Vance and Kincaid would be
referring to would be the athletes, the jocks, who
would be frequent visitors at Schnepps house,
and those other kids that maybe didnt quite
measure up socially desperately wanted to simply fit in to be a part of the crowd.
In dealing with this story from the beginning
and to some extent investigating some of the
long-ago allegations, I was quite positive that I
would not hear the end of this saga and somewhere victim number three existed and would
soon make an appearance.
Well, sure enough, out of the blue, it happened. Last Thursday, while working at the
Paulding Progress office, the call came and
victim three was on the other end of the line,
ready to share his story. We talked for nearly an
hour and it was a good conversation. In fact, he
thanked me for listening and he expressed how
he felt better sharing his heart, the truth, his experience, as despicable as it sounded.
He gave me his name and even permission to
publish it and to tell his unfortunate life-changing moments with Schnepp. I have wrestled with
the idea of publishing his name and although he
gave me the okay, I have decided not to.
Sure, his name is important, but far more important than a name is a life and the character of
that life that was destroyed when he was an early
teen. So, for now, with all due respect, I simply
will refer to him as victim number three. If you
are keeping record, then mark it down, this is
victim number three.
In detail, he described how Schnepp ap-
proached him and the language he used to try

to coerce this vulnerable 13- or 14-year-old to
give in to Schnepps sexual advances, to perform
unlawful sexual acts. And when it was all over,
Schnepp waved $40 (two $20 bills) in front of
a scared youngster and reminded him to remain
quiet about what took place.
It was after that initial advance that Schnepp
started calling victim threes house on a regular
basis.
He would call and talk to my mom about
having me come over to do chores for him. He
would call so often that finally my mom told him
to stop and not call anymore.
Interestingly, victim three attended the last
Paulding school board meeting. Driving from
another state, he arrived later than expected
and didnt have time to talk to Vance prior to
the meeting. But more important than having a
conversation with Barry turned out to be the conversation he had with his 20-year-old son who
accompanied him on his trip to Paulding.
I knew the time had come for me to tell
my son. On our way to Paulding on the day of
the school board meeting, I told him what had
happened to me and to Barry. I told him that we
were going to Paulding to the school board meeting because Barry was to be there and he needed
my support. A teacher had done some bad things
to him and the same teacher did things to me.
But as difficult as it is to talk about something
that took place 30 years ago, victim three faced
his son with uncertainty as they traveled those
many miles to Paulding.
It was a horrible thing that happened to me as
well as to the others. It was time. I had to come
clean with him, said victim three. My son understood. He wasnt interested in details, he just
listened and understood as he tried to process it
all.
Victim three, who is married with children and
grandchildren and loves riding his Harley Davidson, has shared his longtime secret with his
wife and, as difficult as it was, he is glad he did.

It wasnt easy to do, but it felt good to be
open with my wife and kids. To come clean and
let them know what happened, to assure them
their husband, dad, even grandpa was not what
Schnepp had tried to destroy him into becoming, he said.
After hearing from friends and relatives about
what Vance was going through and how he was
sharing his story and his desire to see changes
take place, victim three knew he had to come
forward and support Barry.
Barry is not a liar. What he has told is the
truth and I knew it was time for me to come
forward. To praise a pedophile in the school is
wrong. The money associated with this whole
situation needs out

And sitting on my desk is a file containing
a 1993 police report and investigation about a
fourth victim. At this point there is not a name
or even a face, but the day will come when the
telephone will ring and victim four will be ready
to tell his story.
To be honest, keeping record is no fun at all.
DRAWING
Continued from Page 1A

The ancient green metal apparatus or receptacle has been a
part of the selection process of
many years. In fact, no one on
the panel knows how old it is or
how it originally became a part
of the selection. A small plate
on the base of the wheel depicts
the name Dayton Envelope and
Legal Company.
At 9 a.m., the drawing began, with a total of 425 names
being selected. The first 25 are
assigned to the grand jury list
followed by 200 names for
county court and 200 more for
common pleas.
On this particular day, Straley

randomly selected one name
from the old tumbler and proceeded to pass it on to Moore,
then to Pease, followed by
Landers, Beckman and then to
Willitzer for processing. While
the name is being passed, discussion would take place if
necessary about the prospect.
Sometimes, if we know the
person and they are currently
in a rest home, or have moved
from the county or passed
away, then the individual is
rejected for obvious reasons,
said Straley, who is serving his
fifth year as commissioner, as is

Moore.
The selection for being
placed on a jury duty list is rather painless, much like serving
on a jury. It is the opportunity
to serve your community and at
the same time support our court
system. It may not be the list
that you want your name on but
there are many other lists far
less reputable.
So, call it luck, consider it a
privilege, quit your squirming,
after all you are part of a select
group in Paulding County to
serve in a good way.
Jury commissioner Ed Straley (top) reads a name selected for possible jury duty. Once the
name is read it is passed to Jack Moore, who also serves as one of the jury commissioners.

JESSIE
LEATHERMAN
1918-2015
OAKWOOD One could
say Jessie M. Leatherman had
two passions in life, family and
farming. After living a full life of
loving her family and working the
soil, Jessie, age 96, passed away
in her home in Oakwood on Saturday April 11. It was a beautiful
spring day, full of warmth and
sunshine, like the heart of Jessie
Leatherman.
Born on
Sept. 29,
1918 to parents Arthur
and Elsie
(Stephens)
Schick, Jessie grew up
on the family farm. She was no stranger to
the hard work required to raise
animals and grow crops. In fact,
she loved every minute of it and
would make farming her lifes
work.
In 1932, Jessie met Beryl Richard Leatherman for the first time.
Beryl would later say, It was love
at first sight. They were married on Nov. 5, 1938 and began
a small farm with two cows,
25 laying hens and two pigs.
Beryl and Jessie were a very
happy couple and shared a
love that carried them through
the ups and downs of life. It
was this love that sustained
Jessie, when, after 54 years of
marriage, Beryl passed away.
In 1944, Beryl and Jessie
purchased a house and ground
south of Oakwood where Jessie lived until her death. It was

at that home where the farm
and the family grew. Jessie
and Beryl were blessed with
six children: Joyce (Darhl)
Fuller of Oakwood, Gary
(Amy) Leatherman of Douglasville, Ga., Kathy (Randy)
Hoops of Napoleon, Carol
(Larry) Singer of Oakwood,
Steve (Karen) Leatherman of
Oakwood and Janice (Robert) Merriman, Paulding. Jessies children were her pride
and joy. She loved opening
her home to her children and
their families and especially
for large holiday gatherings
at Christmas, Easter, and
Thanksgiving. Jessies hospitality and mothers heart was
extended to everyone. She
greeted visitors by asking if
they would like something to
drink and before they knew
it, they were eating a plate of
fried eggs and home fries.
Jessies eyes lit up when she
saw her grandchildren, flowers, and John Deere tractors.
With an easy, dimpled smile,
she would often say, If you
ate a good meal today, thank
a farmer. She was an active
member of the Oakwood community, participating in the
Washington Township Neighbors Home Demonstration
Club, Washington Township
Womens Club, the Farm Bureau Council, and Auglaize
Chapel Church of God. In
1999, Jessie was recognized
as an Honored Citizen at the
Oakwood Homecoming celebration.
Left to honor Jessie and remember her love are her six
children; a brother, Gilbert
Schick; 16 grandchildren; 38
great-grandchildren; and 10
great-great-grandchildren.
She was preceded in death
by her parents; beloved husband, Beryl, in 1993; and a
grandson, Benjamin Leatherman in 2007.
Funeral services will be
held 11 a.m. today, April 15
at Auglaize Chapel Church of
God, Oakwood, with the Rev.
Mary Stephens and Rev. Stan
Harmon officiating. Burial
will follow at the Little Auglaize Cemetery in Melrose.
Den Herder Funeral Home in
Paulding is in charge of arrangements.
The family will greet friends
at the church on today from 10
a.m. until time of services.
The Leatherman family
would like to extend gratitude
to all the staff at Community
Health Professions for their
attentiveness and loving care.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made in Jessies
name to the Auglaize Chapel
Church of God of Oakwood or
to Community Health Professionals, Van Wert.
Online condolences may

to make more. I would like to
make a few more batches to
store for the weeks ahead. We
like beef and noodles or chicken and noodles, so they dont
last long around here.
Joe, Elizabeth, Susan, Verena and Benjamin are all
working today. If the children werent home on spring
break, I would be the only one
home. Verena is enjoying the
work she does. She does some
office work and helps a lady
with organic gardening. They
will sell produce, among other items, at flea markets this
summer.
On Good Friday Joe and I
and some of the children attended the wedding of Benjamin and Elizabeth. We
enjoyed getting to visit with
aunts, uncles, cousins and
friends. We arrived back home
around 5:30 p.m.
We received several more
wedding invitations. Congratulations to nephew John
and Arlene! They chose May
29 for their special day. Our
neighbor boy Joe and his
special friend, Susie, were
published in our church on
Sunday for a June 4 wedding.
Congratulations to them as
well! I have been asked to be a
cook at both weddings.
We have three little pigs
here now. We have extra milk
from our cow, Bessie, to help
feed them. Son Kevin, 9, wondered if he could give the pigs
names. I told him it would be
better to not make friends with
them as they will be our meat
next winter.
I still remember when I was
a little girl and my parents

Do you know the best way to get emergency alerts and warnings?
By Ed Bohn
Paulding County EMA
PAULDING With recent
weather, it reminds us that we
need to keep informed. As
technology improves, there
are various means to receive
notification on severe weather alerts and warnings. There
are the conventional ways of
getting your weather information, televisions updates

weather radio. You can keep

informed. But with this day
and age, being on the go so
much, the increase in technology, allows us to keep in
touch with the weather as it
changes.
Cellphones, laptops and
tablets allow us to stay informed on the go. It is estimated that over 90% of
Americans have and use
cellphones for a means of
communications.
There
are a number of text alerts
that you can receive on a
standard cellphone, without the need of the Internet. Locally, NIXLE, is
one of them. All you have
to do is text your ZIP code
to 888777, and receive
weather alerts and other
emergency information to
your phone.
Those people who have
smartphones with Internet

access have the capability
of down loading a number
of APPs that allows you to
be informed in an instant.
Just a few of those APPs
are your local television stations, The Weather Channel,
My Radar, and the list goes
on and on. Most of the APPs
are free but if you want enhanced options, you do have
to pay a fee.

A nurses life in 1887

I daily thank God for the
dedicated people who become
nurses. As for me, I get ill at
the sight of blood or any bodily fluids. It seems as if nurses
are usually in high demand and
those who commit to the field
will usually have a steady job.
There are nurses who work
in hospitals, doctors offices, military bases, nursing
homes and health departments.
Nurses can usually dispense
medicine, give shots, check
blood pressures, look down
your throat and listen to your
heart. Nurses can and do wear
many different hats. I remember when nurses had to wear a
white uniform, white shoes and
always a nursing cap.
This seems important because you could always identify a nurse by the white uniform and the white cap they
wore. Times have changed in
many ways for those who decide to and do become nurses.
In 1887, nurses had a definite job description and had
to follow the rules. Over 100
years ago, nurses had to mop
and clean floors, bring in
coal, keep the lamps lit, scrub
clothes and take notes from the
doctor. The hours of a nurse
were from 7 a.m. until 8 p.m.
each day except The Sabbath.
On Sundays, a nurse could get
off from noon until 2 p.m.
Another rule was that if a
A Penny for
Your Thoughts
By
Nancy Whitaker
nurse was in good standing
with the Director of Nursing,
they could have a night off for
courting. In other words,
they were to be dedicated
mostly to their occupation instead of being frivolous.
If a nurse ever went into a liquor establishment, got her hair
done or smoked, she had to tell
and explain why to her superior
and prove her worthiness.
A nurse in 1887 also was to
save and put back a portion of
her earnings. If she made $30
a month, she was to save $15.
The reasoning was that in her
declining years, she would not
be a burden on anyone. Also,
if a nurse worked for five
years and was in good standing, they would be eligible
for a nickel per day raise. Just
think of how much money that

meant back in 1887.
The first known nurse was
mentioned in Romans 16:1.
During the early years of the
Christianity, Saint Paul sent a
deaconess, Phoebe, to Rome
as the firstvisiting nurse. She
took care of both women and
men. Now I have never looked
up this scripture and so I cannot verify the accuracy. However, I am sure, be it as it may,
there were medicines and
caregiving in those days.
I have always been afraid of
doctors, nurses, dentists and
hospitals, but I hold the greatest respect for them and the
work they do. Today when we
go to a doctor or a hospital, it is
likely the first person you see
will be a nurse. Their friendliness and demeanor could really
make a difference in any type
of medical appointment.
Yes, nursing has changed,
but they are a special group of
people that regardless of the
rules, they still provide care.
No, I would never make
a good nurse. Like I said, I
would pass out at the first
sight of a bedpan.
Have you ever thought what
nurses actually do and the care
they provide? How do you
think nurses ever followed the
rules back in the early days?
Let me know and Ill give you
a Penny for Your Thoughts.

4th graders construct

sinkhole-in-a-cup
By Staci Miller
Education specialist
Paulding SWCD
Recently, fourth grade students got the opportunity to construct sinkholes and watch
them fall in front of their eyes.
Sinkholes are natural depressions in the
landscape caused by solution and subsidence
of earth materials. They form by the removal
of underlying material (subsurface rock and
soil) through the karst hydrologic system.
They can form by slow, gradual subsidence or
by a sudden collapse of the soil.
Areas that have a bedrock made of limestone, salt deposits or carbonate rock are most
susceptible to erosion and the formation of
sinkholes, which are found all over the world.
Sinkholes are common throughout about
one-quarter of the U.S. and are especially
common in Texas, Alabama, Missouri, Ken-

according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
In 2013, a sinkhole developed in Toledo due
to a water main break.
Staci Miller, education specialist with the
Paulding SWCD, taught students about the
formation of sinkholes through a PowerPoint
presentation and short video. After the presentation, students got the hands-on opportunity to create their very own sinkhole.
Students used Styrofoam cups, coffee filters,
paper tube, half of a 2-liter bottle, water, sugar and
sand to construct their sinkholes. The sugar represented limestone and the water carried out the
natural process of dissolution. The students were
amazed to see how the sugar slowly began to drop
before their eyes and form a sinkhole in a cup.
Anyone interested in this presentation for a
classroom or group may contact Miller at 419399-4771 or staci.miller@pauldingswcd.org.

beverage containers may end

up as the carpeting on your
floors. Its truly amazing how
recycling can give new life to
old, unwanted products.
In a way, you can also
recycle investments that no
longer meet your needs, either
because your circumstances
have changed or because
the investments themselves
have become fundamentally
altered - as is the case when
a company in which you
invested has shifted its focus
or taken its business in a new
direction.
Instead of just liquidating
the investment and using the
cash to buy, say, an ultra-highdefinition television with all
the bells and whistles, you
could find a new use for the
proceeds in your investment
portfolio. To name one
possibility, you could use
the money to help save for a
childs college education. Or
you might use it to help fill
other gaps in your portfolio.
By following the reduce,
reuse and recycle philosophy,
you can help make the world a
greener place to live. And by
applying the same principles
to the way you invest, you can
create a healthier environment
in which to pursue your
important financial goals.

particularly important not to

own too many of the same
type of investments, because
you could suffer a setback
in a market downturn that
primarily affects those assets.
Reuse One way of being
environmentally conscious is
to repair, rather than replace,
durable goods such as
bicycles, washers, dryers, etc.
After all, new is not always
better.
Many investors are also
prone to tossing out the old and
bringing in the new - and not
always with the best results.
For example, some investors
switch their overall strategy
every so often in attempts to
capitalize on some trend they
have heard about. But youre
almost certainly better off
by sticking with a long-term
strategy thats appropriate for
your goals, risk tolerance and
time horizon.
Of course, within your
strategy you can make
adjustments
as
your
circumstances change over
time, but theres probably
no need to toss your entire
approach overboard. As you
invest, though, always be
aware that the value of your
investments will fluctuate, and
there are no guarantees that
you wont lose value.

How gardeners can help

keep our waterways cleaner
BUS DRIVER OF THE YEAR Paulding bus driver Mike Mericle (right) received the George
Sontag Jr. Award for School Bus Driver of the Year. Mericle accepted the award at the Ohio Association for Pupil Transportation conference in Columbus on March 16. Here, Brad Aemisegger,
Ohio Association for Pupil Transportation president, presents the award. Mericle was credited
with contacting medical personnel for a preschool students mother who was unresponsive. After
getting on the bus, the student told Mike that his mother was sick and not moving. When the EMS
arrived they found her on the floor after having a seizure. The mother has since recuperated.

Ohio Governor John Kasich

recently signed a legislative bill
designed to help protect Ohios
waterways from harmful runoff,
which includes nitrogen and
phosphorus. Last years algae
bloom incident in Lake Erie
brought attention to the consequences of excessive phosphorus making its way to our lakes
and rivers. The cause was determined to be a combination of
weather (increased storms) and
agricultural practices common
to the last 25 years.
No-till farming, broadcasting fertilizer application, and
fall applications all increase
the products remaining on the
surface and in the very top
layer of the soil, where it has a
greater chance of being incorporated into runoff that makes
its way into our water system.
Some of these agricultural
practices were actually designed to help the environment by reducing erosion and
increasing the soils organic
material retention. There are
other benefits too, but a different problem is created by
contributing to harmful runoff.
Like most things in life, its
a balancing act, and the EPA,
The Nature Conservancy, agricultural and other related organizations are working together
to reduce harmful effects
while still maintaining a viable
business plan for growing our
nations food.
Well leave the issue-atlarge to the experts, but what
can we as backyard gardeners
do to help reduce runoff? Certainly many of us use products in our gardens that on a
smaller scale also contribute
to the problem, so please use
them judiciously and as directed on the label. (Youd be
surprised at how many people
dont read the label before
using them.)
The largest amount of
harmful runoff occurs during
the beginning of a rainstorm,
before water begins to soak
into the ground. It runs off
our roofs, off our driveways,
off the roadways, and other

hard non-porous surfaces into
the storm sewers and ditches,
where it then goes to creeks,
rivers, and eventually to the
Great Lakes in our case,
Lake Erie.
Earlier this year, the Defiance Soil & Water Conservation District conducted classes
for homeowners on how we
can help the problem by planting rain gardens and making
use of rain barrels. With the
aid of grants, theyve been
making it an affordable option
thats attractive as well as beneficial to the environment.
Rain gardens are planted in
areas of your property where
water naturally runs, using
plants that have deep root
systems that reduce sediment
erosion, as well as plants that
grow well in wet areas, thus
soaking up much of the runoff
for their own use.
Creating and planting a rain
garden isnt that difficult. It
can be as large or as small as
you want or have room for and

after the first year of getting
the plants established, its low
maintenance, especially if you
use plants that are native to our
part of Ohio.
Cardinal flower, blue flag
iris, blazing star, and little
bluestem are just a few native
plants that work well in a rain
garden and are well-adapted to
our soil and climate. A variety
of plants grow well not only
in areas of full sun, but part
shade, too.
All of Paulding County was
once part of The Great Black
Swamp, in fact, it is the only
county in Ohio or Indiana that
was completely encompassed
by it. Since those early years
of swampiness, we have done
away with the majority of our
wetlands in order to make the
area inhabitable and suitable
for farming.
Wetlands are a valuable
buffer zone between usable
land and the waterways and
as backyard gardeners we can
help recover some of the benefits that wetlands offer. For
more information about planting a rain garden, talk to our
local county extension office
(419-399-8225) or the Soil
and Water Conservation District office (419-399-4771).

The Golden Eagles, out of the Mid

a 6-0 defeat of Grandview Heights, they
dropped a 4-3 decision to Bexley last
Friday.
On Saturday, Cardington blanked

Junior Courtney Davis, in her third
season at the varsity level, has recorded
all three victories on the mound for the
Golden Eagles.
Madison Plains finished 13-10 overall and 7-5 in the MSL, good enough
for third place. The Golden Eagles roster consists of two seniors, five juniors,
three sophomores and two freshmen,
returning ten players from last seasons
squad.
Lots of experience returns for the
Golden Eagles. Senior first baseman
Maria Grabill is in her fourth year at the

year at the varsity level.
Other returnees from a year ago include sophomore third baseman Macy
Long, junior infielder/outfielder Taylor
Sollars, junior infielder/catcher Erin

four doubles and two triples.
Puckett hits .500 and is tied for the
team in runs batted in with four along

three triples.
As a team, the Golden Eagles are batting .368 and have an on-base percentage of .478. Madison Plains also features
good speed and has posted 20 stolen
bases already this year, led by six from
freshman Joy Fetherolf and four each by
Long and Puckett.
Madison Plains High School is in
Madison County, between Dayton and
Columbus.
The Raiders return to the main field
at Firestone Stadium for a 10 a.m. game
Saturday morning against Newton Falls.
Out of Trumbull County, Newton
Falls is northeast of Akron near the Ohio
Turnpike and Warren.
In action on Saturday, the Tigers
moved to 4-0 on the season with a 7-1
win over Western Reserve.

Jenna Ballas tossed the complete
game victory for Newton Falls, striking

Rhonda Rothacker adding a single and a
double.
Earlier last week, Ballas pitched a

Campbell in leading the Tigers to a 17-0
win.
The other two wins for the Tigers have
come over LaBrae, an 8-6 victory on
March 30 and a 13-7 win on April 1.
Newton Falls fell in the Division III

MAC events scheduled New MAC gym sponsors

ANTWERP The MAC gym is proud to announce a great
upcoming spring and summer schedule of events.
The schedule begins Friday with a family fan favorite, duck
races, hosted by the Antwerp Baseball Association. For those
old enough to remember the turtle races at the fire hall during
Antwerp Days it is on the same scale with ducks instead of
turtles.
On Saturday there is an adult volleyball tournament scheduled from 1 p.m. through 11 p.m. Two divisions of four person
co-ed teams will compete, out of the Fort Wayne Fair Play volleyball league.
On Friday, April 24, K&S Tumblefit will bring all of their
athletes up into the gym for their second annual event. The
night will be for all the girls in the program to showcase their
improvements over the last year. The first annual event was
heavily attended. It is suggested to arrive early for a good seat.
June looks to be a basketball month. Summer leagues will
be offered during the week for junior high girls, varsity girls,
junior high boys, and youth boys and girls teams.
June 6-7 there will also be a basketball tournament offered
for teams in 8u, 10u, 12u, 14u, 16u and 18u boys and girls
divisions.
Summer events will close out in August this year. Following
the all-class Antwerp High School alumni event, there will be
sock hop dances hosted for boys and girls in grades 5-7 from all
area communities. Participants will dance in their socks to keep
street shoes off the new floor.
The final event of the summer will be new to the gym. Saturday and Sunday, Aug. 29-30, there will be the first Outdoor
Expo in the gym.
Individuals and businesses from all around the area are being
contacted to display their outdoor or hunting services or products. There will be several unique displays to this area. Several
businesses have been contacted and are committed to display
already.
For information about this event contact Tanner Copsey at
419-506-0570.

There have been many improvement projects so far this
year. Safety light fixtures were
replaced and all safety lights
were changed over to more efficient fluorescent bulbs. Main
lighting fixtures in the gym
that have not worked for some
time have been taken down
and replaced with new more
efficient LED lights.
New signage for Team
MAC has been hung in the
gym as well as bigger court
identification signs. The final project scheduled before
the new season of events will
be new tile floors in both restrooms. Following spring
events, summer leagues and
the Antwerp all class reunion,
the gym floor will once again
be resurfaced in late August.
MAC organizers ask that

readers support all of their
sponsors as they support the
McLaughlin Athletic Center.
They continue to help MAC
continue to provide low cost
opportunities for the area
youth.

to extend the margin to 5-0.
After the maroon-and- white picked up one more in the fifth,
Antwerp got on the board in the top half of the sixth with two
runs to get within 6-2.
However, Paulding answered with three more in the bottom
of the sixth to seal the 9-2 victory.
Manz also struck out eight Archer hitters in the contest in
recording the complete-game victory.
Avery Braaten took the loss for the blue-and-white, tossing
three innings while allowing nine hits and one walk with five

DEFIANCE For those who wish to sharpen their gardening skills, Ready, Set, Grow 2015, is a class hosted by Defiance
County OSU Extension Master Gardeners.
This spring education day on gardening topics will be held
April 25 at the Defiance Senior Center from 8:30 a.m. until
4:30 p.m. The center is located at 140 East Broadway.
Among the topics on this years agenda are invasive plants,
new plants for 2015, From Vine to Table, and a number of
break-out sessions.
Several gardening experts from northwest Ohio will give
presentations on these and other topics. There will also be vendor booths sponsored by local businesses.
This day is for both Master Gardeners who want to acquire
annual educational hours and for the hobby gardener who
wants to learn more about successful gardening. Cost for the
day is $20 for Master Gardeners and $22 for all others. The fee
includes all educational sessions, handouts, lunch, snacks, and
a chance at a number of door prizes.
Those interested in attending should contact the Defiance
County Extension Office at 06879 Evansport Road, Defiance.
Gardeners may call the Extension Office at 419-782-4771 for a
brochure and sign up form.
One may also use the website: http://defiance.osu.edu/.
Deadline for registration is April 17. All participants must
pre-register and pre-pay.
PAULDING - When you

hear that a Beast Feast is
coming to a town near you,
there are people, especially
men who like to hunt, who
are going to take notice. In a
simple way to explain what a
Beast Feast is, all you have to
imagine is a menu featuring
exotic and unusual type of
game not normally served at
the dinner table.
On Saturday, May 2 at 5
p.m., men will have the opportunity to try an array of wild
game. On the menu will be armadillo, emu, frog legs, kangaroo, wild boar, camel, python
and yak. For those less adventurous will be traditional pulled
pork barbecue with a couple of
side dishes to test the palate.
The event is free but RSVP
is necessary as space is limited.
The Beast Feast is being sponsored by Grace Community
Church (across from Paulding County Hospital), however, the feast will be served in
the basement of the Hands of
Hope clinic located next to the
church. The telephone number
for making reservations is 419567-9030.
Pastor of the Grace Community campus is Cameron
Michael, who started his new
assignment last September.
He and his wife, Kerrie, have
lived in Paulding since assuming the pastor role nearly seven
months ago. Kerrie is a nurse at
Paulding County Hospital.
The Beast Feast will be
a wonderful opportunity for
those who enjoy this type of
setting to come and sample
the various game and to learn
about hunting and fishing,

said Pastor Michael.
Speaking at the feast will be
Dr. John Davis, an experienced
outdoorsman in his own right.
The retired president of Grace
School of Theology in Indiana,
Davis has authored a couple of
books on fishing and hunting.
He also has the distinction of
partnering with Bob Chase in
announcing Fort Wayne Komets hockey a few years back on
the radio.
Not only will we have a
good meal but we also have
some great door prizes to give
away, said Michael. We will
be giving away rifles, ammunition, pheasant hunts and a
variety of hunting gear. I think
those who come out will be impressed with what we have to
offer.
The Grace Community
Church, with its campus in
Paulding, is associated with
the Grace Community Church
located in Fremont, Ohio,
where 1,900 attend. The larger
church, with satellite capabilities, provides a live stream of
their Sunday worship service
to the Paulding facility where
the congregation enjoys the
message.
We have our own worship
team and we do our own music
and pre-worship but the message is presented by the senior
pastor that morning from the
Fremont church, said Michael.
Living in Paulding gives
Pastor Michael the opportunity to do the things any pastor
of a local church would do.
He brings pastoral care to his
parishioners such as visiting
the sick, sharing Bible studies, teaching Sunday school,
Joe Shouse/Paulding County Progress
Pastor Cameron Michael serves as the senior pastor of the

newly formed church plant located across the street from Paulding County Hospital. Known as Grace Community Church, the
congregation with its new name started last September. On May
2, the church will be hosting a Beast Feast featuring a variety
of wild game.
and recently initiating a youth
group. On occasion he brings
the message on Sunday morning.
We are looking forward to
meeting the needs of Paulding
and the surrounding area and
we believe the Beast Feast will
be one of those times when
men from the surrounding area

can get better acquainted and

this point, says United Way

turnout we had, said Hyman.
You could tell that there was
a lot of enthusiasm and excitement in the air. We are so thankful for all of the support that we
received from the community.
We are happy the way folks
are supporting our mission of
community impact, continued
Hyman. United Way has had
a shift to, how is this gift to be
used? We are trying to get the
most value out of each dollar.
We can see benchmarks and

milestones. Its showing the
community how effectively its
money is being used.
Given our position at this
time, we feel good about moving on, added Hyman.

HISTORY WRITTEN ON THE WAY TO STATE

By KEVIN
WANNEMACHER
Sportswriter
HAVILAND Over the
course of 44 seasons, Wayne
Traces boys basketball program has been one of the more
consistent programs in northwest Ohio.
The Raiders have won over
68 percent of their games in
school history and the 20142015 squad only continued that
consistency.
It was a historic season at
the home of the red-white-andblue with team season records,
individual season records and
career records being broken.
Following is a look at the
record-breaking season and a
look ahead to 2015-16...
TEAM
SEASON RECORDS
This years squad set a
new school record for victories
in a season with 25. The old
record of 24 wins was reached
three times previously.
The first squad to hit 24
was also the first team at Wayne
Trace to reach the state tournament as the 1986-1987 team fell
in the Class A State Semifinals
to Bucyrus Wynford (50-49) at
the University of Dayton, finishing 24-3.
Wayne Traces 1990-1991
team claimed the Division III
state championship, defeating
Cincinnati McNicholas (81-52)
in the semifinal before whipping Chillicothe Unioto 77-55
in the championship. The Raid-
ers were also 24-3 that season.

The third Raider team to
hit 24 victories also made a trip
to the Division III state tournament. Wayne Trace took an Akron St. Vincent-St. Marys led
by LeBron James down to the
wire before falling to the Irish
56-50 in the semifinals, wrapping up the season with a record
of 24-2.
Back to the 2014-2015
squad, this team ends with the
second highest winning percentage in school history (.926),
trailing only the 1980-1981
team that ended 21-1 (.955).
Wayne Trace also scored
the third most points in school
history with 1,776. The only
two teams to score more were
in 1990-1991 (1,858) and 19791980 (1,818).
The school record of 27
games played in a season was
tied this year as well. Wayne
Trace also played in 27 games
in 1990-1991, 1986-1987 and
2013-2014.
From the field, the Raiders
had the third highest two-point
field goal percentage in school
history this year at 56.07 percent. The record is 58.87 percent by the 2000-2001 squad
followed by the 1999-2000
team at 57.38 percent.
Wayne Trace also was
productive at the charity stripe,
posting the third best team percentage at 71.64 percent. The
school record is held by the
1992-1993 team at 76.85 percent while the 1997-1998 team
ended at 72.09 percent.
INDIVIDUAL
SEASON RECORDS
Senior Corbin Linder
broke the record for 3-point
field goals attempted, totaling
209 this year. The old record
was held by Nathan Overmyer in 2002-2003 with 193 attempts.
Sophomore guard Ethan
Linder set new marks for both
free throws made and attempted in a season. The sophomore
standout finished 146 of 175 at
the charity stripe to top the old
records. Rob Welch previously
held the free throws made mark
at 131 during the 1992-1993
season while Chris Shepherd
had owned the free throw attempts in a year with 163, posted in the 2000-2001 year.
Although he didnt break
a school record, Wayne Traces
Ethan Linder totaled the third
most points by a player in Raider
history in one game. The Raider guard scored 44 points in the
Division IV regional semi-final against Plymouth. Wayne
Traces record for scoring in a
game is 48 points by Rick Ger-

Corbin Linder also reached

the record books for career totals this year.
The senior guard set new
marks for both 3-point field
goals made and attempted, ending his career by connecting on
246 of 644 shots from beyond
the arc. Nathan Overmyer
(2004 graduate) previously held
both records, hitting 199 of 502
shots from 3-point land.
Corbin Linder also finishes his Raider career with the
fifth most overall field goals
made (409) while ending third
in total shots attempted (1,000).
The only two Division I mens
basketball players in Raider history are the two record holders.
Steve Hall (1988 graduate) is
the record-holder for field goals
made (701) while Rob Welch
(1993 graduate) tops the record
books in field goals attempted
(1,328).

ber against Hicksville (2-14-75)

while Alvin Phillips bucketed 45
against Tinora (1-22-74) for the
second highest total.
Ethan Linder stands sixth

in free throws made and eighth
in free throws attempted for his
career, sitting at 226 of 285 after
two seasons. Welch is the current record holder, having connected on 368 of 469 attempts.
The career steals record
also was broken this year as
Corbin Linder finished with
176 for his career. Colby Speice (2014) and Jake Sinn (2002)
were previously tied at 160.
Corbin Linder also finishes his career with 1,226 points,
good for fourth place on the
career list. Rob Welch tops the
chart with 1,737 followed by
Steve Hall (1,645) and Nathan
Overmyer (1,296). Sophomore
Ethan Linder currently is 14th
on the list with 868 points.
One other record tied was
games played by an individual
as Corbin Linder played in his
98th game against Canal Winchester Harvest Prep. Former
Raider and Wright State University standout Rob Welch
also played in 98 games.
A LOOK AHEAD
Wayne Traces 2015-16

schedule will feature some
changes from past years.
With the Tip Off Classic
in Van Wert no longer taking
place, the Raiders will now
open the season on Nov. 28 as
Liberty Center visits the Palace. The Tigers were 12-12
this past season, bowing out of
tournament play in the sectional
finals to Paulding. It will be the
third meeting between the two
schools with each school having won one of the first two.
Head coach Jim Linder will
also be looking for his 100th career victory against the Tigers.
In seven season at the helm of
the Raiders, the Raider mentor
stands 99-67 (.596 winning percentage) entering the 2015-16
campaign.
Wayne Trace also has Van
Wert returning to the schedule
as the Raiders will visit the
home of the Cougars on Dec.
28. The Raiders and Cougars
have split the first 40 meetings
between the two schools.
However, the highlight game
of the season is scheduled for
Feb. 13 when the late Steve
Hall, former Raider and Ohio
State Buckeye standout, will
have his uniform retired at the
home of the Raiders against
Grandview Heights. Hall is a
former teacher and coach at
Grandview Heights, which finished 18-4 this past year and
lost in the sectional final to Columbus Academy (63-61). The
Bobcats replace Ada on the
Raider schedule.
Wayne Traces program will

take part in its 1,000th game
next year in school history. The
Raiders enter the campaign
having taken part in 994 games
in its history, posting wins in
678 of them. Barring changes to the schedule, the Raiders
will accomplish this feat against
Miller City on Dec. 19.
Over the course of those
games, the Raiders have scored
62,621 points and averaged 63
points a contest.
Congrats on an awesome season, boys!

Thank you for inspiring our kids to want to achieve
what you all have, putting forth the extra effort to
make the kids feel special, and for setting a good
example for what it means to be a
RAIDER !!
We enjoyed the ride!

24-2 RAIDERS: GAME BY GAME
By JOE SHOUSE, Sportswriter, jshouse@progressnewspaper.org
Dec. 5, 2014: Wayne Trace 68, Van Wert 57 (1-0)
Dec. 27, 2014: Wayne Trace 53, Miller City 37 (6-0)
Jan. 17, 2015: Wayne Trace 76, Del. Jeff. 56 (10-1)
The Raiders opened the season with a 68-57 win over Van Wert
in the Van Wert Hospital Tip Off Classic. Sophomore Ethan
Linder bucketed 35 points to pace the winners. We hit our free
throws down the stretch, said head coach Jim Linder. The redwhite-and-blue canned 19-26 on the night.
With only 19 points at intermission the Raiders answered with 20

in the third period to widen their margin in the 16-point win, David Sinn tallied 17 points with Luke Miller adding 15 and Corbin
Linder chipping in 13. In the second half we were able to get the
ball inside to David (Sinn) and that gave our outside shooters
some open looks, said Linder.
It was again a big night for Ethan Linder. who hit for 22 and in
the process went over 1,000 points in his young career. Linder is
now one of seven Raiders to go over the 1,000 point mark. Also
in double figures in the 20-point win was David Sinn 18, Cole
Shepherd 12 and Corbin Linder 10. We are very proud of what
he (Ethan) has accomplished, noted his father and head coach
Jim Linder. He has worked hard and put in the time in the gym.
But the biggest thing is that he has had great team mates and
they are a big part of what he has been able to accomplish.
Dec. 6, 2014: Wayne Trace 61, Crestview 60 (2-0)

In the championship game of the final version of the VW County
Hospital Tip Off Classic the Raiders squeaked past Crestview,
the defending Division IV state champions. Ethan Linder scored
31 points. Wayne Trace committed seven turnovers in the first
quarter before settling down for the win. We did a much better job taking care of the ball after the first quarter, said Coach
Linder.
Dec. 30, 2014: Wayne Trace 76, Woodlan 51 (7-0)

The Raiders ended the 2014 portion of their schedule undefeated at 7-0. Wayne Trace tallied 49 points in the first half to enjoy a
28- point lead. Ethan Linder scored 19 points to lead the Raider
charge with David Sinn adding 12 and Corbin Linder 11. Justin
Speice collected eight rebounds and Luke Miller added six assists in the year end win. We were able to get off to a good start
and we were able to get a lot of people involved in the offense,
noted head coach Jim Linder.
Dec. 11, 2014: Wayne Trace 55, Bryan 42 (3-0)

David Sinn came up with a double-double that included 17 points
and 10 rebounds while team mate Luke Miller chipped in 13 to
power the Raiders past Bryan to remain perfect at 3-0. We havent found the chemistry yet and we havent gotten into any kind
of an offensive flow, said Coach Linder.
Dec. 13, 2014: Wayne Trace 69, Paulding 54 (4-0)

In the county showdown featuring the Raiders and the Paulding
Panthers, it was Wayne Trace jumping out early 17-5 and was
never threatened by the Panthers. Ethan Linder netted 20 points
and Luke Miller added 16. Luke stepped up and hit some big
shots for us tonight, commented Linder.
Jan. 10, 2015: Napoleon 44, Wayne Trace 41 (7-1)

Opening the season at 7-0 in 2014, the Raiders lost their first
game in 2015 to Napoleon 44-41. The loss would be the only
regular season set back for the Raiders. A sloppy first that saw
the Raiders commit 11 turnovers while scoring just 11 points. It
was an ugly first half, commented Linder. Corbin Linder led the
Raiders with 21 points.
Jan. 13, 2015: Wayne Trace 69, Edgerton 57 (8-1)

Ethan Linder set a 3-point field goal record for Wayne Trace. The
sophomore attempted 533 hitting 211 at this point in his career. In
the 12-point conference win, Linder collected 28 points.
Dec. 20, 2014: Wayne Trace 75, Lincolnview 58 (5-0)

The Raiders placed five in double digits including Ethan Linder
20, David Sinn 14, Corbin Linder 13, Luke Miller 12 and Cole
Shepherd 10. We had good balance tonight and everyone contributed, said Coach Linder. The win improved the Raiders to
5-0.

In a solid effort both offensively and defensively the Raiders demolished Holgate in GMC play 54-28. These kids are very good
about getting the basketball to the open person. I thought we
made the extra pass tonight and did a good job of getting everybody involved, said Linder. Ethan Linder totaled 11 points and
David Sinn adding nine points and none boards.
Jan. 24, 2015: Wayne Trace 75, Shawnee 71 (12-1)

A big third quarter offensive outburst saw the Raiders outscore
Shawnee 28-11 to help rally the Raiders past their opponent 7571. A 3-point play by David Sinn late in the contest kept the Raiders in front 75-69. The four point win moved the Raiders to 12-1.
We were able to get a lot of contributions from a lot of different
players. That has been a big key for us, Linder said. Double
figure scoring came from four Raiders including Ethan Linder 21,
Corbin Linder 15, David Sinn 13 and Cole Shepherd 11.
Jan. 30, 2015: Wayne Trace 68, Ayersville 43 (13-1)

The first game played without injured David Sinn. The Raiders
jumped out 15-2 and was never challenged, holding a 34-20 lead
on a Darius Hale 3-pointer and a two-point buzzer beater from
Cole Shepherd. Cole did a good job rebounding for us tonight.
He hit some key shots, said Linder. Darius came in and made
some huge defensive plays for us also. It was a total team effort
on both ends of the floor. Ethan Linder scored 26 with Shepherd
adding 14 and Hale chipping in nine.

Wednesday, April 15, 2015 Paulding County Progress - 3B
Feb. 3, 2015: Wayne Trace 68, Continental 41 (14-1)

The Raiders easily got past Continental by 27 points. Corbin
Linder lit it up with 24 points. Cole Shepherd added five points
and nine rebounds. Hes (Shepherd) is one of those kids who
does all the little things for us. He goes to the boards and just
finds a way to make plays, said Coach Linder.
Feb. 6, 2015: Wayne Trace 62, Hicksville 51 (15-1)

In a battle of ranked teams, both from the Green Meadows Conference, the Raiders gutted out a 62-51 win to keep the Raiders on top of the league standings at 5-0. Ethan Linder poured
in 19 points with brother Corbin adding 16 and David Sinn 10.
Luke Miller added six points, four steals and three assists. Luke
doesnt always get the credit but he does a lot for us. He hustles
all over the place and comes up with steals and just keeps plays
alive, Linder commented.
Feb. 7, 2015: Wayne Trace 59, Kalida 58 (OT) (16-1)

Trailing by one in overtime the Raiders responded with a Cole
Shepherd basket followed by a 3-point play from Linder to put
the Raiders on top by four a lead they would manage to secure
for the balance of the overtime. We missed free throws down
the stretch but we did a good job going to the offensive glass and
keeping the possession alive, said Coach Linder.
Feb. 13, 2015: Wayne Trace 68, Tinora 41 (17-1)

The 27-point win over Tinora gives the Raiders their 26th GMC
title. The Raiders stand 17-1 overall and 6-0 in the league and
needing one more win to clinch the title outright. A 12-0 run late
in the first quarter helped ignite a lead the Rams could not overcome. Im proud of the guys and how they have battled all year,
noted Linder. We are very happy to get at least a share of the
league championship. Corbin Linder drained 24 points followed
by Ethan Linder with 19 and Cole Shepherd adding 10.
Feb. 20, 2015: Wayne Trace 71, Antwerp 52 (18-1)

The win over the Archers sealed the outright conference title for
the Raiders. It wasnt easy tonight by any means and we knew
that coming in here, said Linder. We expected Antwerp to put

forth a great effort and they did that tonight. Ethan Linder 18
points, Corbin Linder 16 and Luke Miller 10 lead the Raiders to
the conference win.
Feb. 24, 2015: Wayne Trace 77, Crestview 48 (19-1)

Playing Crestview for the second time (the Raiders winning the
first time 61-60) the Raiders opened up a huge 53-20 halftime
margin to crush the Knights 77-48 for their 19th win. We just
jumped on them and kept jumping on them. We got off to a really
good start which is nice to see, said Coach Linder. The Raiders placed four in double digits including Ethan Linder with 17,
Corbin Linder 13 and Jake Arend and Darius Hale each with 10.
Feb. 27, 2015: Wayne Trace 62, Ottoville 49 (20-1)

In their regular season finale that included a true celebration to
honor its seniors, the Raiders posted their 20th win of the season
- their third consecutive 20 win season. Seniors included Corbin
Linder, Darius Hale, Jake Arend and David Sinn. The Raiders finished off Ottoville 62-49 with Ethan Linder chipping in 20, Corbin
Linder 15 and Justin Speice 10. Our bench play continues to get
better and they are key to the success of this team, said Linder.
March 6, 2015: Wayne Trace 69, No. Central 34 (21-1)

SECTIONAL: Wayne Trace turned back North Central 69-34 in
the Division IV sectional tournament. Our press was effective
tonight, commented Coach Linder. It wasnt our best game of
the season but we played well in stretches. Corbin Linder set
a school record with 162 steals. Ethan Linder scored 15 points
followed by Luke Miller and Linder with 12 each and Cole Shepherd adding 10.
March 10, 2015: Wayne Trace 63, Antwerp 46 (22-1)

DISTRICT: The Raiders faced Antwerp for the second time in
three weeks with the outcome much the same. The Raiders defeated the Archers 63-46 while during the season they turned
back Antwerp 71-52. Again, it was the Linder boys leading the
Raider attack with Ethan scoring 22 and Corbin adding 16. Give
Antwerp credit, they had a good tournament run, said Linder.
March 13, 2015: Wayne Trace 60, Edgerton 53 (23-1)

DISTRICT: The Raiders won their 11th district tournament with
a hard fought win over conference foe Edgerton 60-53. In defeating Edgerton by seven coach Linder said, I thought we did
a good job of forcing them into doing things they dont like to do.
Defensively we were pretty solid early on. Edgerton fought back
to within four 51-47 with less than three minutes remaining but
would get no closer. David Sinn was back on the court after missing nine games due to an injury. Ethan Linder 13 points, Corbin
Linder and Cole Shepherd each with 12.
March 17, 2015: WayneTrace 76, Plymouth 68 (24-1)

REGIONAL (2 OT): Game one in regional play was not one for
the faint of heart. The double overtime Raider win over Plymouth
took a 44-point performance by Ethan Linder to get the Raiders
to the regional finals. The sophomore added 11 rebounds and
seven steals to his stellar performance. He kept us in the game.
He was our go-to-guy all night long for us, said Coach Linder.
March 20,15: Wayne Trace 65, Del. St. Johns 56 (25-1)

REGIONAL: It was pressure defense by the Raiders that gave
them the upper-hand in their 10-point win over Delphos St. Johns in
the Regional finals. The win, a fifth regional championship, allowed
the Raiders to advance to Columbus for the state tournament and
the Division IV final four. Leading scorers for the red-white-andblue were David Sinn 15, Ethan Linder 14, Corbin Linder 12 and
Luke Miller 11 along with seven rebounds. He (Luke Miller) made
some big plays for us tonight. He was big on the defensive end
and in the second half he hit some huge shots for us, said Linder.
March 26, 2015: Harvest Prep 63, Wayne Trace 53 (25-2)

STATE SEMI: The season came to an end at Columbus where the
Raiders lost to Harvest Prep by 10, 63-53, in the semifinal round.
In a game that had the Raiders up against a quick, talented team,
the Raiders battled and managed a two-point lead early in the third
quarter but it was Harvest Prep who took control in the late stages.
Ethan Linder collected 22 points while senior David Sinn added 15.
