KALIDA — Richard Kortokrax, the winningest boys high school basketball coach in Ohio history, died Saturday at the age of 91. Kortokrax’s teams won 890 games in 56 seasons at three schools, all of them in Putnam County — Fort Jennings for two seasons, Ottoville for 13 seasons and Kailda from 1975 until his retirement in 2016. His greatest success came at Kalida, where the Wildcats advanced to the boys state basketball tournament in 1980, 1981, 1988 and 2009.

Batting leadoff is something new for Lima Locos outfielder Reese Borho but it seems to be a good fit. The Abilene Christian University junior went 3 for 5 and hit a game-winning home run in the leadoff spot in the Locos’ 6-5 win over the Muskegon Clippers on Sunday at Simmons Field. He also was 1 for 3 in an 11-0 win over Muskegon on Saturday while leading off. So, the obvious conclusion would seem to be he had a longstanding relationship with batting at the top of the lineup. But he doesn’t.

When he played basketball at Marquette in the 1990s, Aaron Hutchins was known as The Little General to some of the Golden Eagles’ fans. At 5-10 on the roster – and maybe closer to 5-9 in reality – he led Marquette in scoring as a sophomore and as a senior and was second in points per game as a junior. As a three-year starting point guard, he was more than just a scorer.
