If Wooster High tennis coach Stan Burris thought about having his team walk around practice opening day and introduce themselves to each other, there was good reason. Burris welcomes back only three letter winners after graduating four seniors, led by Matthew Cebul, who helped the Generals go 7-7 overall, but 6-1 and finish second in the Ohio Cardinal Conference to six-time OCC champion...

In her mind, Abby Kacsandi wound up second. “I told Alex, ‘Way to steal my thunder,’” laughed the Ashland University senior. In the Kacsandi family, it may be a toss-up as to who had the biggest day last Saturday --son Alex, who won a Special Olympics bowling tournament, or daughter Abby, who won something special in her own right. Abby hit it big right out of the gate at the beginning of...

Every year brings new questions and new challenges for any coach. Wooster High coach Nikki Reynolds started her track and field season by having to match a lot of new names to new faces. Missing from last year’s roster, whether due to graduation or choosing not to participate this year, are 21 athletes who wore the Blue and Gold a year ago. As a result, one thing is certain: there will be...

The Wooster High boys’ track team doesn’t have a House to build around this season, but its foundation is solid. The General thinclads will certainly miss D’Metre House, who earned All-Ohio honors in the 100- and 200-meter dashes and dominated the Ohio Cardinal Conference sprints last season. House, who is currently a member of the Youngstown State track team, left Wooster with school records...

Yes, it's true. I love the Yankees. If you know me, those blue lines under my arms are not veins, they are pinstripes!Almost on a daily basis, people ask me why I...

"Cop Out" - RBy Dave MastThe worst thing about the movie Cop Out is the name itself. I don't understand why they connect that particular phrase with the plot of the movie. I guess perhaps it is because it has cops in it. Anyway, the story of two New York cops out to dispose of a band of drug-running thugs who a) love baseball and want to own a minor league ball club, b) collect impressive...

The traditional Easter hymn, He Lives, sums up the celebration of the season pretty well. Christians celebrate the Lenten season and Easter Sunday for one reason and one reason alone: they serve a risen Savior. Scripture teaches that Christ lived on the earth some 2,000 years ago, was crucified and buried in the tomb and after three days rose from the dead. The fact that there were so many eye...

If there was one day I dreaded each school year of my three decades in education, it was April 1, better known as April Fools’ Day. The students, and even a few of the teachers, were merciless with their inane April Fools’ jokes. I was relieved if April 1 happened to fall on a weekend. But five times out of seven, it did not. As a teacher, then principal, I was forced to endure the...
