Kind of off topic, but does anyone have any information on the wreck that happened last night between Piketon and Waverly? Every pic and every story so far I've heard about it was not good. No word yet the condition of anyone involved. Let's all please keep those individuals in our prayers today. It could have been any one of us SEO fans traveling up to the game last night in that wreck. Think about that.

Maybe they could swap sides. Hartley fans sit on visitors side but remain the home team on the scoreboard .

That would be great...see if you could make that happen.

This will be the first time Bishop Hartley has played at Boston Field.


I should start keeping track of playoff games played at NY. That should be an easy OHSAA web search I would think.

Bunch of crap that nelsonville gets this game again! Their AD must be related with someone at the ohsaa. Can't believe they keep getting games, nice facility but way to small to hold games like this!

Couldn't make the game last night . What kind of crowd did both teams bring?

The visitors side (Burg) was overflowing with lots of people standing along the fence.

The home side (MF) had lots of empty seats. The middle was pretty full, but still had lots of empty seats and both endS were just scattered with fans.

I'd say rough estimate we had 1.5 to double the crowd they did.

An injury crash involving motorcycles and a minivan along U.S. Route 23 near Piketon on Saturday afternoon is under investigation by the Chillicothe Post of the Ohio State Highway Patrol.

According to the Patrol, the crash occurred near Prairie Drive when Lorenzo Bentley, 38, of Minford, was traveling westbound on Prairie Drive in a 2004 Nissan Quest, failed to yield when turning southbound on Route 23, and was struck by the drivers of two motorcycles. The motorcycles, which were headed northbound on Route 23, were driven by Perry Hoover, 26, of West Portsmouth, who was driving a 2007 Suzuki, and Tony Mershon, Jr., 22, of Portsmouth, who was driving a 2009 Yamaha.

Bentley and his right front passenger, Mildred Pearl, were flown to Grant Medical Center in Columbus by Air Evac. Hoover was also flown to Grant Medical Center, and Mershon was flown to OSU Medical Center in Columbus. The Patrol reported that the conditions of the victims are unknown.

According to the Patrol, both motorcycle motorists were wearing helmets at the time of the crash, and the Patrol encourages all motorcyclists to wear helmets when riding.
