With 11 seniors and five returning district qualifiers on the roster, members of the Thomas Worthington High School wrestling team aren't afraid to talk about their aspirations.
"We want to win OCC, sectional and district championships and we think we have the potential to do that," said senior Andrew Shackleford, who returns at 182 pounds after being a Division I state alternate last season.

Coach Jack Hoogeveen is hoping a signature win by his Olentangy Liberty High School hockey team will help give it confidence against any opponent.

CAPITAL DIVISION
Olentangy Orange is the overwhelming favorite to win a third straight championship. The Pioneers return four starters: point guard Taylor Agler, guards Maddy Joseph and Kierstynn Myers and forward Mya Walker. Reliable center Kelsey Lewis was lost to graduation, but 6-foot-2 Indiana recruit Sarah Sagerer is a good Plan B. Sagerer is a foreign exchange student from Austria. Walker (12.5 points), Joseph (7.7) and Myers (6.0) take...
