Returning Archers feature shooting, quickness

By JOE SHOUSE
Progress Sportswriter
ANTWERP - Antwerp returns seven let-
ter winners including its top scorer but must
find a replacement for their lone graduate
in Trenton Copsey. The 6-foot-4 Copsey
averaged 14 points and nearly 10 boards
per contest. The blue-and-white will lack
size, but has a returning group that knows
what it takes to get through the w ars of a
tough season, including a competitive Green
Meadows Conference.
“Obviously we don’t have the height
that we would like to have so we will com-
pensate with our speed and quickness. We
have excellent shooters and so our outside
shooting will be key. It’s all about team
and we will use the team concept to carry
us throughout the year,” said head coach TJ
Hammer.
The seven returning letter winners include
Sam Williamson, Matt Jones, Josh Longard-
ner, Trey Mills, Brandon Pendergrast, Dylan
Peters and Jeff Coleman.

Seniors Clark, Shaner look to advance

By JOE SHOUSE
Progress Sportswriter
ANTWERP – Last year, the Antwerp
wrestling team consisted of just four ath-
letes. Two of the four, Jarrett Bute and Jor-
dan Laker, graduated, leaving head coach
Jeremy Kosch with two returning and a
host of newcomers.
Even with a group of inexperienced
wrestlers, Kosch is excited about the future
of Antwerp wrestling.
Returning for their senior season are Jus-
tice Clark and Logan Shaner. Both have
had success wearing the blue-and-white
and will continue to work hard as they
enter their final year. Shaner was a district
qualifier last year while Clark had the same
honor a couple of seasons ago.
“These two young men have represented
Antwerp wrestling at a high level and in a
very positive way, and I believe they will
have an excellent year,” said Coach Kosch.
“I am expecting Justice to have a banner
year and he, too, has put a lot on himself
to succeed. He’s been working hard to get
better and I can see him doing very well
this year.”
Clark narrowly missed a conference
championship and is hungry for one. Being
a senior and having his last opportunity,
the seasoned wrestler is ready for the chal-
lenge, according to his coach.
Last year, Shaner was a third place sec-
tional qualifier in the 132 weight class and
moved on to the district where he was 1-2
on the day.
Joining the two returning seniors is a
group of five young men with no varsity
experience; however, some have wrestled
at the junior high level. Those who will get
a taste of varsity competition are Austin Va-
nAtta, who is a senior but hasn’t wrestled
since junior high; Hunter Strickland, a ju-
nior who is a first-time wrestler; and soph-
omore Owen Miller, who like Strickland, is
a first-timer.
Two freshmen beginning their Antwerp
High School careers are Tanner Wentland
and Aiden McAlexander. The young Mc-
Alexander has come through the ranks and
has wrestled in the lower grades.
“Practice has been going pretty good.
Last year, we had a group of more experi-
enced wrestlers and we spent a majority of
time fine-tuning our skills and technique.
It’s a little different this year with a younger
group,” Kosch explained.
“With the younger group of kids, we are
taking more time to show the new guys
various wrestling moves, holds and strat-
egy that will make them better wrestlers.
Slowly, we are building the program and I
am excited about this younger group who is
willing to make the sacrifice,” said Kosch.

Experience, quickness key to Lady Archer season

By JOE SHOUSE
Progress Sportswriter
ANTWERP – After being out of coach-
ing for a couple of years, Scott McMichael,
former Archer boys coach, returns to take
over the Lady Archer program.
The popular coach had a successful run
in his early coaching career when he was a
high school girls coach in Florida.
McMichael inherits a plethora of expe-
rience, including five starters and several
seniors returning for their fourth year at the
varsity level.
Avery Braaten, Kiana Recker, Audrie
Longardner and Sierra Cline, all seniors,
will be joined by junior and two-year letter
winner Peyton Short plus a couple of soph-
omores, two-year letter winner Rachael
Williamson and Hope Smith.
Those seven will battle for a starting
position and all will see plenty of playing
time, according to McMichael.
Williamson, Braaten, Longardner,
Recker, Short and Smith – all returning let-
ter winners – were members of the Lady
Archers’ successful volleyball team. Coach
McMichael is looking for that same win-
ning attitude to carry over from the volley-
ball court to the basketball court.

“Right now, it looks like we will have

New coach brings up-tempo style to Lady Panthers

By JOE SHOUSE
Progress Sportswriter
PAULDING – Four returning lettermen
will be the nucleus new head coach Mark
Rhodes will lean on as his foundational
players for the upcoming girls basketball
season at Paulding. The veteran coach of
25 years has coached at the varsity level,
both boys and girls, at Fairview and Pauld-
ing.
The new mentor takes over the helm va-
cated by Lyndsi Schultz, who guided the
maroon-and-white to a 2-21 season while
going 0-8 in Northwest Conference play.
The four young ladies returning as a part
of the 2015-16 Lady Panther edition will
include just one senior in Samantha Meg-
gison, juniors Faith Vogel and Skyler Mc-
Cullough, and sophomore Audrey Manz.
“As our only senior, Meggison has done
an outstanding job providing leadership
with her encouragement and by setting a
standard with her intensity and competi-
tiveness,” Coach Rhodes said.
Meggison averaged five points per out-
ing and six rebounds at the post position
last campaign.
Vogel, standing at 6-foot and the tallest
player on the team, collected 8.7 points per
game while hauling in 7.3 rebounds.
McCullough, who plays the point and
wing position, averaged two points and
two boards while Manz also added two
points and two rebounds as a freshman last
year.
“We have a very dedicated group who
have committed to playing with great in-
tensity and have worked together to build
terrific team chemistry. We have some ex-
citing returning players that we feel can
make a positive impact,” Rhodes said.
Joining the four returnees will be Alli-

Plenty of changes for Wayne Trace boys

By KEVIN WANNEMACHER
Progress Sportswriter
HAVILAND – Coming off of a Final
Four appearance in 2014-15, several chang-
es are the challenge for the 2015-16 version
of the Wayne Trace boys basketball team.
First, the Raiders have to find a way to re-
place four graduated seniors from the squad
that finished 25-2 overall and claimed a
Green Meadows Conference championship
with a 7-0 record.
The red-white-and-blue graduated over
31 points and 13 rebounds and now must
find a way to replace that production.
On top of that, Wayne Trace received the
bad news that the Raiders move up to Di-
vision III for the 2015-16 season instead of
remaining Division IV.
The Raiders also were sent to the south
district for the coming season rather than
north, meaning Wayne Trace will take part
in the Lima Senior district that includes
