Chief of Police Tom Szymczak announced the resig-

13. Council accepted the resignation without dissent.

Council heard the second reading of Ordinance 10-17
pertaining to water tap fees, and the second reading of
Ordinance 11-17 pertaining to wastewater fees for com-
mercial users. Two items of new business were put off
pending more information. One of these was Ordinance
12-17, pertaining to income tax revisions. According to
Village Solicitor Tom Thompson, “Those are things that
are being put together in response to the budget bill that
was passed at the end of June, and became effective in
September. It impacts some things in the Village Income
Tax Code, and just needs to be updated before January.
It’s being challenged by several municipalities.”

Council established Trick or Treat in the village from
6:00 until 7:30 on the evening of October 28, and changed
the Council meeting date for December to December 13.
The November meeting will go on as originally scheduled
on the 20th.

Prior to adjournment, Council retired into executive
session for the discussion of economic development, spe-
cifically for the discussion of the development of an enter-
prise zone. No action was undertaken as a result of the
executive session.

Archbold Clinches Outright NWOAL Title With Win Over Evergreen

PHOTOS BY KENT HUTCHISON, STAFF October 20th, 2017
Archbold 30 Evergreen 0
For the better part of the first half Evergreen
gave the Archbold Blue Streaks all they wanted
on Senior Night for the Streaks. The second half
was a different story as Archbold pulled away to
secure an outright NWOAL championship. After
a scoreless first quarter, Evergreen mishandled a
punt in their end zone that resulted in an Arch-
bold safety and a 2-0 lead. Sam Petersen scored
later in the second quarter to make it 9-0 Arch-
bold at halftime. The Blue Streaks offense came
alive in the second half starting with a 31-yard
touchdown run to extend the Archbold lead to
16-0. The defense then came through with a huge
play with Evergreen threatening to score at the
Archbold one-yard line, Zach Rocha would scoop
up a Viking fumble and return it 98 yards for a
touchdown to increase the lead to 23-0. Quar-
terback Gabe Petersen added a touchdown run
of nine yards in the fourth quarter to provide the
final score for Archbold. With the win, the Blue
Streaks not only wrapped up an outright league
title but they also guaranteed themselves a home
playoff game in the first round. Archbold’s run-
ning game was too much for Evergreen as they
rushed for 274 yards, led by Gabe Petersen with
127 yards on 18 carries and a touchdown and
Sam Petersen carried 20 times for 106 yards and
two touchdowns. Evergreen quarterback Jack
Etue ended up 12/20 throwing the ball for 193
yards and one interception and Hunter VanWert
had 20 carries for 45 yards, well below the 133
yards per game he was averaging coming into the
contest. Archbold (6-0 in the NWOAL, 7-1 over-
all) will conclude the regular season this week at
home against Swanton (4-2, 6-3) while Evergreen
(2-4, 4-5) will look to finish the season with a
.500 record at Bryan (4-2, 5-4).

Wauseon Indians Overcome Slow Start To Beat Patrick Henry

The trend for the Indians this year has been to
fall behind early but then use big plays from the
offense to come back. This game followed the same
script as Wauseon fell behind the upset minded
Patrick Henry Patriots 14-0 before scoring the final
48 points of the game to win comfortably. With the
Patriots ahead 14-0 early in the second quarter,
Xavier Torres scored on a two-yard run to get the
Indians on the board and cut the Patriots lead in
half. Junior Martinez scampered into the end zone
with six minutes left in the half to tie the game at
14. Wauseon would take the lead with their first
big offensive play of the night, a 72-yard bomb from
quarterback Hunter Yackee to tight end Kyle Zirkle
to make it 21-14 in favor of the Indians. The Indians
extended the lead on another Torres touchdown
run, this one covering 40 yards, and Wauseon was
beginning to take control of the game. With just
seconds remaining before halftime, Wauseon ex-
ecuted the hook and lateral play to perfection as
Yackee hit Owen Newlove for a 25-yards pass to
the Patriots 30-yard line where he lateraled the
ball to running back Everett Bueter and he took it
from there into end zone for the score, capping off
a 35-point second quarter by the Indians as they
led 35-14 at halftime. Wauseon added two more
touchdowns in the second half to close out the win
on Senior Night, a one-yard run by Martinez and a
67-yard touchdown run by Thomas Leahy. Yackee
was 7/13 passing for 140 yards and a touchdown
while on the ground Wauseon was led by Bueter
with 70 yards on six carries with a touchdown, and
Martinez with 64 yards on seven attempts with
two touchdowns. Wauseon (4-2 in the NWOAL, 7-2
overall) will close out the regular season this week
on the road at Delta (0-6, 1-8).

Tyler Suboski Becomes Hilltop’s
All-Time Leading Rusher

By: Nate Calvin
THE VILLAGE REPORTER

For Hilltop senior running back Tyler Sub-
oski it was an opportunity you dream of. Enter-
ing the game, he stood at 1,191 yards rushing
on the season, 271 yards away from the school
single season record. It was Senior Night his
final chance to play in front of the home fans
and the record was within reach. Suboski was
averaging 148 yards per game so obviously he
would have to go well over his season average
to get the record at home. As the first half pro-
gressed, the Cadets were clearly in control of
the game leading 41-0 at halftime and Suboski
was inching closer to the record. In the third
quarter he scored on runs of 14 and 10 yards
to put himself right at the doorstep of the re-
cord. With Hilltop holding a huge lead late in
the third quarter, Suboski took a handoff at
the Danbury 45-yard line and broke away for
the record breaking run before stepping out of
bounds at the seven-yard line when he knew
he had the necessary yardage to set the record.
Suboski ended the night with 277 yards and
five touchdowns and he now has 1,468 yards
on the season eclipsing the previous mark of
1,462 yards set by Chad Beals back in 2008.
The 277 yards also was a new Hilltop single
game record, breaking the previous record of
250 yards set by Lukas Schaffner in 2004. Sub-
oski’s success on the football field has followed
his success in the classroom has he currently
holds a cumulative GPA of 3.95. With the re-
cord now in the rearview mirror, the attention
turns to this week’s showdown with Gibson-
burg as a league title and a playoff berth will be
on the line for the Cadets.
