Delta Panthers Celebrate Homecoming 2017

By: Nate Calvin
THE VILLAGE REPORTER
The Delta Panthers hosted the Archbold Blue Streak
for their 2017 Homecoming. The Homecoming Court
entered the stadium during a parade that featured a
wide arrange of vehicles. First up was the 2016 Home-
coming Queen Mary Miller. She is the daughter of Roy
and Kathy Miller. In high school Mary was a member
of the varsity volleyball, basketball, and track teams.
She was also involved in FCA, SADD, NHS, Student
Council, Spanish Club, Delta FFA President, Del-Ai-
res Vice President, and Equestrian Team. Mary cur-
rently attends The University of Toledo and is working
on earning a Bachelors of Sciences and Pharmaceuti-
cal Sciences degree. After that she plans on attend-
ing vet school at Ohio State. Her escort is her brother
Junior Todd Miller. The Freshman attendant was Da-
kota Swicegood, the daughter of Meechelle and Chad
Swicegood. She is a Delta varsity cheerleader, active
in Spanish Club, and is the Treasurer for her class.
Not only is she a competitive dancer at Stars Unlim-
ited Dance and Baton Studio, but she is also a dance
teacher. Her future plan is to become a veterinarian.
Dakota’s escort was freshman Darren Dunning, the
son of Lori and Mark Dunning.
Representing the sophomore class was Sydney
Schauwecker, the daughter of Tonya and Todd Schau-
wecker. She is a member of the volleyball team, as well
as a proud track thrower. She is also involved in Del-
Aires, Art Club, Student Council, and is the President
for her class. When she is not involved in community
theatre, she enjoys volunteering, specifically with sui-
cide awareness and animal conservation. Her future
plans are to attend Columbia University to pursue En-
vironmental Science, or Criminal Psychology. Sydney’s
escort is her brother, freshman Blake Schauwecker
son of Tonya and Todd Schauwecker. The first junior
attendant was Raelyn Hutchinson, the daughter of
Cheryl McCormick and Garry Hutchinson. She is a
member of the varsity volleyball team, and is involved
in Student Council. In her free time, she enjoys play-
ing volleyball and soccer. Her future plans are to at-
tend UT to be a veterinarian. Raelyn was escorted by
Senior Brandan Burkhart, son of Adam and Stephanie
Burkhart, and Kristie Burkhart. The other junior at-
tendant was Aliyah Lopez is the daughter of Melissa
and Patricio Lopez. She is a member of NHS, Spanish
Club, FCA and Del-Aires. In her free time, she likes to
hang out with friends, and be involved with her youth
group. Her future plans are to attend OSU or UT to be
a traveling missionary nurse or choir director. Aliyah’s
escort for the evening was junior Cole Mattin, the son
of Leigh and Mike Mattin.
Next up were the seniors, beginning with Maddie
Mattimore, the daughter of Brenda and Damon Mat-
timore. She has been a member of the varsity basket-
ball, and soccer teams. She is involved AAU basketball,
and in her free time enjoys working out, photography,
and spending time with family and friends. Her future
plans include attending Lake Erie College to continue
her athletic career in basketball while pursuing a ca-
reer in Physical Therapy. Maddie’s escort was junior
Dawson Swicegood, the son of Meechelle and Chad
Swicegood. The second senior attendant was Sara Sin-
tobin, the daughter of Jemelle and Todd Sintobin. She
is a 4-year member of both the basketball and softball
teams. She is also involved in her 4th year of Del-Ai-
res, FCCLA, Yearbook, NHS, Student Council and is
the Secretary for her class. She has hopes of being a
part of her 3rd musical this year. Sara’s hobby is help-
ing others and making others happy. There is nothing
she enjoys more than making others smile. Her future
plans are to attend college somewhere local, and ma-
jor in Early Childhood Education. Sara’s escort was
senior Logan Albring, the son of Jill and Jeff Aibring.
The final senior attendant was Grace Sonick, the
daughter of Jill and Tim Sonick. She is a runner for
cross country, and is a member of both the soccer and
basketball teams. She is involved in Spanish Club,
Equestrian Club, FCA, SADD, Student Council, and is
the Treasurer for her class. Grace works at the Twist

likes to hang out with friends, read, watch movies, and
join in on senior citizen bingo night. Her future plans
are to attend the University of Kentucky to become
a dentist or an oral surgeon. Grace was escorted by
senior Maverick Wright, the son of Rebecca and Don
Wright. After the presentation of the court the 2017
Delta Homecoming Queen was announced and it went
to Grace Sonick. Archbold was too much for Delta to
handle in the game with the Panthers falling 48-7.

Nate can be reached at Encourage self-help and other support strategies.
[email protected] The training is appropriate for anyone whose job or
volunteer activities can bring them in contact with
individuals or families who have a loved one suffer-
ing from a diagnosed or undiagnosed mental illness.
Persons who work in human resources or personnel
management or for a social services agency have found
the training particularly helpful as well as clergy or lay
leaders in the faith community.
Participants are given an overview of symptoms typ-
ical of persons suffering from illnesses such as major
depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia and oth-
ers. They will be taught how to recognize symptoms
that can mean the person is at risk of suicide and
taught the skills necessary to listen nonjudgmental-
ly and have a meaningful conversation with someone
who is in crisis.
Through instruction, demonstration and role-play-
ing, participants will learn how to give reassurance
and information to the person in crisis and let them
know that mental illnesses are real, treatable illnesses
from which people can and do recover. Mental Health
First Aid is a nationally recognized program that has
demonstrated that participants gain a better recogni-
tion of mental health disorders, a better understand-
ing of treatments, more confidence in providing help to
others, and decreased social distance for people with
mental health disorders.
Each participant will receive a thorough 136 page
Mental Health First Aid manual. A continental break-
fast and lunch will be provided – all at no cost to the
participants. To register for the training, please con-
tact Lou Levy at 419/399-0952 or by email at louan-

to register is Friday, November 3.

The village will be teaming up with
the Pioneer Area Summer Recreation
Association to purchase two new score-
boards for the Little League diamonds.
The existing scoreboards will be refur-
bished and moved to the Pee Wee field
and Fred Wyman Field, respectively,
Kidston said. The new scoreboards will
be installed next spring at the Little
League diamonds. The village will pay
$3,100 for one electronic scoreboard,
plus shipping and handling and the
PASRA will cover the cost for another.
The village normally donated $5,000 to
the group but has not for a couple of
years.

The Senior Center Dinner is noon,
Dec. 12. Entertainment will be provided
by the Inflight Group from North Cen-
tral School. The council will decide on
a time for the Christmas tree lighting at
its November meeting. The village tree
is next to the Senior Center next to the
creek. The location makes access to the
tree tricky to install lights.

Eicher’s Subs In Montpelier Builds Giant Pizza

ALL IN THE FAMILY ... Back in 1973, members of the state-ranked Montpelier Locomotives football team sat down to take a crack at a Williams County record 90-inch
pizza, served up by local restaurateur, Larry Eicher. Larry has since retired, but his daughter, Tarry Eicher Fikel, has picked up where he left off, opening Eicher’s Subs
in downtown Montpelier in October of 2016. On the occasion of their first anniversary at the new location, the Eicher family convened in the restaurant on the morning
of October 14 to celebrate the event in a bigger than big way. The Eicher clan and staff spent a little more than six hours in the kitchen, and when they opened their
doors shortly after 3:00 p.m., the patrons coming through the door were witness to another Eicher-style revision to history. The family that produced the 90-inch pizza
and later the 25-pound hamburger were back... this time with a Williams County record 180-inch pizza. For those who might have a tough time grasping the concept
of what 180 inches looks like, the pizza measured fifteen feet across. It was built in forty sections, with each section carrying the equivalent of three 16-inch pizzas. A
crowd that had assembled in the street prior to opening filed inside for a circular pizza buffet, the likes of which has never been seen in Williams County, and probably
will never be seen again.

Archbold Blue Streaks Blowout Delta Panthers 48-7

October 13th, 2017 PHOTOS BY KENT HUTCHISON, STAFF

Archbold 48 Delta 7
The Blue Streaks made short work of the Delta
Panthers leading 27-0 at halftime to cruise to the
win. Quarterback Gabe Petersen accounted for two
first quarter touchdowns, the first one a five-yard
run and the second a 30-yard pass to Nic Rodriguez
to make it 13-0 Archbold. Sam Petersen found the
end zone in the second quarter on a 15-yard run
and Rodriguez scored again, this time a 57-yard
punt return for a touchdown to give Archbold a
27-0 lead at halftime. A Gabe Petersen touchdown
pass and two rushing touchdowns by Caleb Ho-
grefe, 13 and 44 yards respectively, accounted for
the second half scoring for Archbold. The lone Del-
ta touchdown of the night came on a two-yard run
by Travis Dunning. For the game, Gabe Peterson
was 4/5 passing for 66 yards and two touchdowns
while he carried the ball nine times for 86 yards
and two touchdowns. Sam Petersen had seven car-
ries for 62 yards and a score while Caleb Hogrefe
rushed for 94 yards and two touchdowns on seven
carries. The Delta offensive star of the night was
Travis Dunning as he rushed for 106 yards on 17
attempts with a touchdown. The win combined
with a loss by Swanton guarantees Archbold (5-0
in the NWOAL, 7-1 overall) at least a share of the
NWOAL title. They can clinch it outright this week
when they host Evergreen (2-3, 4-4), while Delta
(0-5, 1-7 will host the Swanton Bulldogs (3-2, 5-3).

Wauseon 42 Evergreen 14
With the score only 14-7 in favor the Indians
at halftime, Wauseon turned to the big plays in
the second half to pull away from the Evergreen
Vikings. After a scoreless first quarter, Wauseon
quarterback Hunter Yackee put the Indians on
the board first with a two-yard touchdown run to
make it 7-0 Wauseon in front. Yackee scored again
on a one-yard run and it looked like the Indians
were beginning to take control as they now led 14-
0. Evergreen responded with an impressive drive
capped off by a Jack Etue to Josh Dowling 20-yard
touchdown pass to cut the Wauseon lead to 14-7 at
halftime. Wauseon would take control of the game
in the third quarter with a 93-yard touchdown run
by Everett Bueter followed by a blocked punt by
Dawson Rupp that Rupp himself was able to re-
cover in the end zone and it was quickly a 28-7
Wauseon lead heading to the fourth quarter. The
Indians added two more scores in the final quar-
ter, a Yackee to Bueter 9-yard pass and a 14-yard
run by Rupp to close out their scoring. The Vikings
added a late touchdown pass by Etue for second
time in the game connecting with Dowling, this
time for 16 yards. Bueter finished the game with
117 yards on the ground on just seven carries and
a touchdown while Yackee was 3/10 in the pass-
ing game for 42 yards and a touchdown along with
rushing for 41 yards and two touchdowns. Ever-
green was effective running the ball led by Hunter
VanWert with 136 yards on 30 carries and Etue
was 15/29 passing for 174 yards and two touch-
downs. Wauseon (3-2 in the NWOAL, 6-2 overall)
returns to Harmon Field this week when they host
the Patrick Henry Patriots (1-4, 2-6) in their final
home game of the regular season while Evergreen
(2-3, 4-4) is on the road at league leading Archbold
(5-0, 7-1).

the teams combined
for 34 points, starting
with a 29-yard touch-

20 straight points be-
fore Edgerton quarter-

this one for ten yards
to Logan Showalter,
to give Edgerton a
28-20 halftime lead.

Hilltop Rallies In The Fourth Quarter To Beat Montpelier

October 13th, 2017 PHOTOS BY FORREST CHURCH, STAFF

Hilltop 28 Montpelier 25
The Locomotives had the heavily favored Cadets
on the ropes for most of the night but the Cadets
were able to score a couple late touchdowns to
pull out the win and keep their league title and
playoff hopes alive. Hilltop struck first on a one-
yard touchdown run by Christian Mckinney be-
fore Montpelier responded with a 17-yard run for
a score by Payton Pease and a Dakota Benner to
Kolden Uribes 20-yard touchdown pass to give the
Locos a 13-8 lead in the second quarter. Hilltop
running back Tyler Suboski then scored on a 32-
yard run to put Hilltop back in front 14-13. Mont-
pelier regained the lead just before halftime when
Benner went to Uribes again through the air on a
22-yard strike to make it 19-14 in favor of Montpe-
lier at halftime. Montpelier extended the lead about
halfway through the third quarter on a one-yard
touchdown run by Austin Grubb to give the Locos
a 25-14 lead entering the fourth quarter. The Hill-
top rally began on a 14-yard touchdown run by
Sam Shilling and after Shilling would convert on
the two-point conversation as well, the Montpelier
lead was trimmed to 25-22. Suboski then made the
play of the night for the Cadets as he fielded a punt
at his own 4-yard line and would take it 96-yards
for a touchdown to give Hilltop the lead 28-25. The
Cadets defense stopped Montpelier on a final drive
to preserve the win. Along with the punt return
touchdown, Suboski also gained 120 yards rush-
ing on 14 carries with one touchdown. Grubb led
the Locomotives ground game with 114 yards on
23 totes with a score and Benner went 5/8 throw-
ing the ball for 91 yards, two touchdowns, and one
interception. Hilltop (5-0 in the TAAC, 7-1 overall)
