Falcons End Season With OT Loss To Triway, Mogadore Girls Lose To LCCS
The Field girls opened the OHSAA tournament with Triway on Saturday February 15th and came away losers by a 39-38 score in overtime. Not much seemed to go right for the Falcons, who played their second game without the vacationing Sydney Kline. Cassie Spaite got the start and did hit two three pointers that were sorely needed. Maria Sziva scored 22 points, but shot about a million times to do so. She was 11 of 14 at the free throw line. Field closes out the season at 13-10, while Triway moves on with a 9-14 record.
Mogadore (7-15) closed out their regular season with a 42-38 loss to Lake Center Christian School on Wednesday February 12th. The loss dropped the Wildcat girls to 7-15 on the year and 3-9 in the Portage Trail Conference County Division race. Carley Hickle had 13 points for Mogadore. The Wildcats open their OHSAA tournament run with a home game against Jeromesville-Hillsdale on Wednesday February 19th at 7:00 PM.
The drawings for the OHSAA tournament were done on Sunday February 2nd. Field was seeded #8 in the Uniontown Division II District. They will play #9 seeded Triway on Saturday February 15th at 1:00 PM in Brimfield. The Mogadore girls are seeded #8 in the Creston Division IV District and will play #9 seeded Jeromesville-Hillsdale on Wednesday February 19th at 7:00 PM in Mogadore.

Field Destroys Springfield 64-41, Mogadore Win 10th Straight
The Field Falcons (3-18) celebrated Senior Night by thoroughly whipping Springfield 64-41 before a fairly large and very partisan crowd. Seniors Nevada Lowden and Mason Campanelli led the way of the Falcons. Campanelli scored 12, as did junior Zack Davis. Sophomore Xander Rorrer added nine points and a team-high 10 rebounds. Earlier in the year, the Falcons went to Springfield and lost by a 40-38 score in a game that termed as ugly. The win is Field's third of the year and it raises their Portage Trail Conference Metro Division record to 2-11. Field closes out the regular season by taking that long trip two counties away to play Cloverleaf in Lodi on Friday February 21st at 7:00 PM.
Mogadore (18-3) won their 10th straight, this time beating Ravenna (5-16) by a 81-54 score. The Wildcats were off to the races in the first quarter and led 22-4 after one. The big questions were: how long would the starters get to play and would the Wildcats achieve 100 points for the first time this season? The first question was answered in the second quarter as coach Russ Swartz substituted freely and often. The second question was also answered by the emptying of the bench with about four minutes to play. It was like a preview of next year's varsity lineup and, quite frankly my dear, it didn't look epecially convincing. Lukas Swartz once again led the team with 26 points, while Nate Stephenson followed with 20 points. Aaron Morris scored 12 points. The Wildcats close out the regular season with a home game against Lake Center Christian School (12-8) on Friday February 21st at 7:00 PM.
The boys OHSAA tournament drawings were held on February 9th and the Field Falcons were the #13 seed in the Stow Division II District. They will open the tourney at #4 seeded Gilmour Academy on Tuesday February 25th at 7:00 PM. Mogadore drew the #2 seed in the Norton Division IV District and will open with a home game against the winner of the Rittman (#7 Seed) and Cuyahoga Heights (#10 seed) game. Mogadore's game will be on Friday February 28th at 7:00 PM.

Wingfoot Lake State Park

Goodyear had operated the park since the 1960's as a private playground for its employees and for corporate retreats. As the company footprint grew smaller in the Akron area Goodyear decided to close the park in 2006.
