Big Red Weekend Recap:
The Big Red football team traveled to Crestview on Friday night to battle the Cougars in Firelands Conference action. It was a rough night for the Big Red as they fell to the Cougars by a 42-0 final score. After a rough 1st quarter and the Cougars jumping out to a quick 14-0 lead the Big Red dug in and battled and kept the score at 14-0 for most of the 2nd quarter before the Cougars would add a late TD to make the score 21-0 at the half. They would extend that lead throughout the 2nd half en route to the 42-0 win as the Big Red fall to 0-6 on the season and 0-3 in conference play. They will be back in action on Friday this week at New London.
The Cross Country teams were in action on Saturday morning at the Buckeye Central Invite. Anna Caughenbaugh led all placers with a 29th place finish in the HS girls race with a time of 24:36 as she was followed by Aly Lewis in 56th place. For the HS boys, Weston Smith led the way with a 41st place finish in a time of 20:35 and was followed closely by Carter Jester in 43rd place.
