CROSS COUNTRY: Beaver harriers run at OWU Invite
DELAWARE__On Friday, Sept. 30, the Beavers were up at the line to start their races at Ohio Wesleyan University for the OWU Invitational. The weather conditions were ideal, and the course was ready for some great competition. FULL STORY (men’s team) and FULL STORY (women’s team).
The Bluffton High School girls soccer team scored two goals in the final five minutes to tie Columbus Grove 2-2 in a thrilling finish to their Northwest Conference-deciding clash Tuesday night, October 3, at Steinmetz Field.
With the dramatic tie on an unseasonably hot evening, Bluffton repeated as outright league champions and won its third NWC crown in the last four years.
A loss to Grove would have likely meant a shared three-way title with the Bulldogs and Allen East. But the comeback tie means the Pirates finished as the only undefeated team in the league with five wins.
Tip line newly staffed by trained crisis response professionals
Ohio Governor Mike DeWine has announced several enhancements to the state's free Safer Ohio School Tip Line (1-844-SAFEROH) that will make it easier for Ohioans to report school safety concerns.
In addition to calling and texting the tip line, Ohioans anywhere in the state can now report school safety information through a new smartphone app and online web form.
"Not everyone wants to make a phone call or send a text--some are more likely to report concerns by sending a message through an app or website," said Governor DeWine. "We're making these upgrades so that it's as simple as possible for all Ohioans to quickly and anonymously report any potential school safety threats in a manner that makes them comfortable."
The new Safer Ohio School Tip Line smartphone app, available both on iOS and Android devices, and the online web form include pre-populated prompts to help users quickly upload information.
