Wauseon Chamber Of Commerce Hosts Business Networking Event

By: Nate Calvin
THE VILLAGE REPORTER
The Wauseon Chamber of Commerce recently held their quarterly “Business
After Hours” event at Sullivan’s Restaurant located in downtown Wauseon. The
purpose of this event is to encourage business networking in a social environment.
The BAH (Business After Hours) had been discontinued but was restarted when
current Wauseon Chamber Director Bill Drummer took over the position in Janu-
ary of 2016. Each BAH event is sponsored by a chamber member with this particu-
lar one being sponsored by Continental Plaza owned by Larry & Barb Zimmerman.
There was a 50/50 drawing the was won by Brenda Watchman from OH Ship and
no one won the Membership drawing so that will carry over to the next BAH in the
amount of $600.

Bluestreaks as they went on a 9-0 run to close out the
quarter thanks to three triples, two from Ramos, with
one by Jeron Williams in between. Suddenly the lead
was trimmed to three points, 19-16 as an exciting first
period ended.

The teams traded baskets to open the second quar-
ter, then Bryce Williams scored and was fouled. After
dropping in the charity toss, the score was tied at 21
with 6:17 before halftime. Ramos gave Archbold the
lead 24-21after connecting on his third three of the
night. Rotroff quieted the home crowd after a sweet
spin move in the paint, and the Indians went back in
the lead 26-24 when Gype stroked a triple from the top
of the key. Caleb Wooley knotted the score again with
a free throw jumper. Owen Newlove and Austin Wiem-
ken exchanged scores, and Armstrong added another
basket to put Wauseon in the lead 30-28. Rotroff was
fouled with 49 seconds left in the half. After he con-
verted the second of two tries, the half ended with the
Indians clinging to a 31-28 advantage.

The first 16 minutes certainly lived up to the hype of
the contest. It was raining three’s as Archbold dropped
in six on the half and Wauseon added five. Although
Wauseon led by as many as 12 points, the Bluestreaks
moxy was evident as they fought back taking the lead
briefly before the Indians grabbed the advantage and
took it to the locker room at intermission.

To open the second half, Rotroff sent the Indian
fans into a frenzy when he threw down a two hand
jam off a well-designed set play. Seiler was fouled in
the act of shooting and converted both charity tosses
to put Wauseon up 35-28. Consecutive buckets by
Bryce Williams and Wiemken cut the deficit to three.
Rotroff and Wiemken traded baskets, then Armstrong
buried a trey from the left wing. The teams continued
answering each other and with 3:46 left the scoreboard
read 45-40. However, from that point Wauseon out-
scored Archbold 5-1, to take a 50-41 lead into the final
8 minutes.

A drive by Armstrong, then a bucket and two free
throws by Rotroff pushed the Indian advantage to 56-
41 with 5:10 remaining in the game. Kaiden Bedsole
stopped the bleeding with his only basket of the night,
a three from the top of the key, with 4:58 on the clock.

In what may have been the possession of the game,
Armstrong nailed a three, his third of the game, from
the left baseline. However, this happened after an
offensive rebound, and a steal by the Indians. This
upped the margin to the largest of the night, 60-44,
with 3:49 left.

At this point Krauss realized time was of the es-
sence. He called a timeout following Armstrong’s
score. His words to the Bluestreaks was to begin foul-
ing to lengthen the game and send the Indians to the
charity stripe.

First, Eli Miller stroked a pull up three, then Gype
missed the front end of a one and one. The strategy
appeared to be working to perfection when Ramos add-
ed another trey from the right baseline shrinking the
deficit to just ten, 60-50, with just over 2 minutes to
go.

Newlove missed two consecutive front ends of one
and one opportunities, however when he was fouled
again with 1:53 left, it was Archbold’s 10th foul of the
half which meant Wauseon would receive two shots on
every foul for the rest of the game. This time Newlove
converted the second toss.

Bryce Williams added a triple from the left wing
and Krauss called a timeout with 1:43 left. Gype was
fouled and made both, but Williams dropped another
trey from the left wing. The basket cut the lead to 7
points, 63-56, with 1:39 to go.

Seiler missed two foul shots, but Archbold couldn’t
convert. Seiler was able to get behind the Bluestreak
press for a lay-up to essentially seal the game. He add-
ed two more free throws with 35 seconds left. Arch-
bold was forced to chuck three’s and came up empty in
their final possessions.

As the buzzer sounded, Wauseon escaped with a
hard fought 67-56 win. Although the final margin was
11 points, the victory was anything but easy!

Hot shooting was a key to the Wauseon victory. On
the night the Indians converted on 23-35 shots for an
impressive 66%, including 9 baskets from behind the

Bryan’s Allye Minor Reaches 1,000 Points In Dramatic Fashion

By: Nate Calvin
THE VILLAGE REPORTER
Entering a crucial NWOAL game on January 19th
against the Swanton Lady Bulldogs, Allye Minor was
just 16 points away from reaching 1,000 points in her
Lady Golden Bear career. After scoring six points in the
first half it was obvious it was going to come down to
the end of the game to see if she reached the milestone
in front of the home fans or she would have to wait
until their game at Bowling Green two days later. In
the final seconds with Bryan on their way to the win to
stay undefeated in NWOAL play, Minor was fouled on a
drive to the basket with 2.5 seconds to go in the game
and she headed to the line needing one free throw to
reach 1,000 points. Minor would sink the first of two
free throws to reach 1,000 points as she was mobbed
by her teammates before hitting the second foul shot to
finish the game with 17 points as Bryan walked away
with a 56-43 win over Swanton.
She becomes just the fourth player in the history
of the Bryan girl’s basketball program to reach 1,000
points. Kathy Musser (Lamberson) was the first and
she also happens to be the Bryan Junior Varsity coach.
Casey Stevenson and Hannah Schimoeller are the oth-
er two Lady Golden Bears that are on the list of names
of 1,000 points scorers, a list that now includes Allye
Minor. “Allye has worked very hard to reach this mile-
stone”, said Bryan Head Coach Todd Grosjean. “She
has invested a lot of time and made many sacrifices to
reach the 1,000 points club. Her game has improved
each season and has always been an intense competi-
tor”, added Grosjean.
Minor has received numerous accolades over her
basketball career including being named Honorable
Mention All NWOAL as a freshman, 2nd team All-
League as a sophomore, and last year as a junior re-
ceiving 1st team All-League recognition. She has dis-
played her athletic ability at Bryan not only on the
basketball floor, but she has also been successful in
soccer and track. Minor was 2nd team All-League as a
junior in soccer and this past fall she earned 1st team
All-League honors as well to complete her senior sea-
son with the Lady Golden Bears soccer team.
Basketball isn’t over for Minor after high school
as she will be moving on to Siena Heights in Adrian
to continue her career next season. The impact she
has made to the Bryan program is very obvious to her
coach. “I’ve had the pleasure of coaching Allye the last
three seasons. She has been a great role model for our
younger players and has been a huge part of the suc-
cess the girls basketball program has seen the last
couple of seasons”, he said. With Bryan currently tied
for the top spot in the NWOAL standings with Delta
at 3-0 and big games still to come against Delta and
league perennial power Archbold, it’s safe to say Minor
and her Golden Bears teammates will definitely have a
say in who wins the league title this year.

Wauseon Wins Both Matches Terry Henricks Halftime Competition Held
Against Evergreen Vikings
By: Kent Hutchison
THE VILLAGE REPORTER
Kendall Lovejoy and Dave Mohring competed during halftime of the Wauseon/
Archbold Varsity Boys Basketball game on January 19th. At stake was the oppor-
tunity to win a 2018 Ford Escape courtesy of Terry Henricks Ford.
The contestants were required to make in order a lay-up, free throw, three-
pointer, and half-court shot in 25 seconds. Kendall went first and quickly made
the lay-up. A little more time was needed to sink the free throw and triple. Kendall
had a last second heave for a shot at the car, however the attempt fell just short.
Dave had no problem dropping in the lay-up and foul shot on his first try of
each. However, the trey was the downfall of Mohring as he was unable to find the
range from behind the arc before time ran out.
